EASY FIX TO OIL SPILL? RUSSIANS SAY YES!

REPOSTED- Original Date: June 4

While Americans are screaming at BP, and Fox News and MSNBC is
telling us that the sky is fallen and the oceans are being polluted
beyond repair, most Russian peasants are asking a very simple
question. “Russian peasants,” you ask? Yes, Russian peasants!
Those former soviet dupes that lived under the repressive Soviet
Empire, evidently have more expertise in stopping a runaway oil well
undersea than the president of the United States, his best military
minds, or any geologists from BP. The sad story is that Russia has
over the years had many oil well disasters, many times worse than the
BP spill in the Gulf. Why don't you know about these disasters?
Soviet propaganda, maybe dark secret coverups? Nope, they just fixed
these problems within 48 hours! Yes, 48 hours! How did the Soviets do
45 years ago, what America doesn't have the brains to do today? I
really don't know!

The Plain Truth is that most military experts in America have the
ability to stop this mess in about 48 hours. They know how to do it.
They know it has been done many times, and they have been trying to
tell the world all about it- but nobody cares to listen to them. They
have tried to contact famous radio talk show hosts, all who haven't
cared a whit to listen. They have tried to inform the press, to no
avail, and now they are using the world wide web in an attempt to get
their message out, and The Plain Truth is attempting to do this for
them.

We got our first e-mail from an unnamed
source from a man who identified himself as a naval explosion expert.
After reading the e-mail, I frankly dismissed it as a hoax. However,
because our sister site RaceRap.Com
does have many military viewers, I kept thinking about that e-mail,
wondering if it was a real one or not. The next day, while talking
with someone whose neighbor works for the government (that's all I'll
say here) informed me that the e-mail was true! His neighbor told him
that everyone “in the know” has been trying to get this message
out to everyone, from Rush Limbaugh to Glenn Beck. None bothered to
investigate. The Plain Truth did and the following report should
shock the heck out of you!

The simple answer to the problem we
have in the Gulf is a controlled demolition type explosion, over the
leak, which will cause the floor of the ocean to collapse and seal up
the hole in the floor! If this seems to easy of an answer, than take
a moment and follow the links in this article ans see if a simple
solution is known and being ignored by our leaders! The Russian
peasant can't figure out why they know what we do not know. Russia
in 1966, we have reports
that in Soviet times such leaks were plugged with controlled nuclear
blasts underground. The idea is simple, KP writes: “the underground
explosion moves the rock, presses on it, and, in essence, squeezes
the well’s channel.”

Yes!
It’s so simple, in fact, that the Soviet Union, a major oil
exporter, used this method five times to deal with petrocalamities.
The first happened in Uzbekistan, on September 30, 1966 with a blast
1.5 times the strength of the Hiroshima bomb and at a depth of
1.5 kilometers. KP also notes that subterranean nuclear blasts were
used as much as 169 times in the Soviet Union to accomplish fairly
mundane tasks like creating underground storage spaces for gas or
building canals.

A
former nuclear submarine officer and Iraq veteran has suggested that
we think in radical terms in ending the massive oil spill in
the Gulf coast, including using a nuclear bomb.

But
the idea by Christopher Brownfield, who is now a visiting scholar on
nuclear policy at Columbia University, is not as far fetched as it
sounds. Brownfield says BP is less interested in stopping the leak,
but in catching the oil.

“But
the military has the tools to seal it. Soviet military used nuclear
explosives on four separate occasions, beginning in 1966, to seal off
runaway oil and gas wells under water, according to Brownfield. The
issue is if Obama would go a route that would alienate many of his
supporters on the left,” says the web blog
Soda Head.

The
web site NEWSER quotes
Brownfield as saying,
“It's like putting a 4-inch straw into a 22-inch-diameter fire
hose—a sordid attempt by BP at drinking its own milkshake,”
Brownfield writes for the Daily
Beast. “BP appears to be just as concerned with protecting its
shareholders as with stopping this catastrophe.”

“For more than 100 years, explosives
have been used to break the necks of runaway oil wells, sealing them
shut with tons and tons of rock.” Brownfield added.

Komsomoloskaya Pravda,
Russia's best-selling daily publication, has
stated this idea: Why not just nuke it?

During the Soviet years, Russia's communists had to deal with
numerous oil disasters and on five different occasions they employed
controlled, underground nuclear blasts to quickly solve the problem.

[The] underground explosion moves the rock, presses on it, and, in
essence, squeezes the well’s channel," Pravda
reported.

"It’s so simple, in fact, that the Soviet Union, a major
oil exporter, used this method five times to deal with
petrocalamities," added Moscow reporter Julia Ioffe, writing
for True/Slant. "The first happened in Uzbekistan, on
September 30, 1966 with a blast 1.5 times the strength of the
Hiroshima bomb and at a depth of 1.5 kilometers. KP also notes that
subterranean nuclear blasts were used as much as 169 times in the
Soviet Union to accomplish fairly mundane tasks like creating
underground storage spaces for gas or building canals."

Weapons
labs in the former Soviet Union developed special nukes for use to
help pinch off the gas wells. They believed that the force from a
nuclear
explosion could squeeze shut any hole within 82 to 164 feet (25
to 50 meters), depending on the explosion's power. That required
drilling holes to place the nuclear device close to the target wells.
A
first test in the fall of 1966 proved successful in sealing up an
underground gas well in southern Uzbekistan, and so the Russians used
nukes four more times for capping runaway wells.

"The second 'success' gave Soviet scientists great confidence
in the use of this new technique for rapidly and effectively
controlling ran away gas and oil wells," according to a U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) report on the Soviet Union's peaceful uses
of nuclear explosions.

A last attempt took place in 1981, but failed perhaps because of
poor positioning, according to a U.S. Department of Energy report.

Komsomoloskaya Pravda suggested that the United States
might as well take a chance with a nuke, based on the historical
20-percent failure rate. Still, the Soviet experience with nuking
underground gas wells could prove easier in retrospect than trying to
seal the Gulf of Mexico’s oil well disaster that's taking
place 5,000 feet below the surface.

Most
experts don't even think a NUKE is needed! Our Navy has non-Nuke
explosives that could easily do the job in less than 48 hours! No
radiation, No oil, no problems. We ask the question – Why isn't
anyone talking about it. Maybe now some will
