$500K Device May Have Prevented Oil Spill
Orlando Independent Examiner - Gregory Patin (05/02/2010)
Yes, that's correct...a device that costs one half million dollars may have prevented what is on track to become the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
The device is called an acoustic trigger (aka. acoustic switch, actuator). It is a remote-controlled device deployed off oil rigs that sends acoustic impulses through the water, triggering an underwater valve or explosives to shut down the well even if the rig is catastrophically damaged or abandoned.
All offshore rigs have one main switch to shut off the flow of oil by closing a valve located on the ocean floor. There is also supposed to be a backup called a “dead man,” that will shut down the well in the event of a catastrophe on the rig.
Apparently neither of these devices worked on the Deepwater Horizon rig operated by British Petroleum (BP). The crew members who would have been closest to the shutoff switch are among those missing and presumed dead. If the rig was equipped with an acoustic trigger, it would have been a last resort option and could have been activated from a remote location.....

For a bully, one of the worst things that can happen must be to intimidate and
manipulate yourself into a corner. And, when all is said and done, find
yourself in a position where folk can't help but notice how big a fool you are.
Take, for example, AFRICOM, the USA African Command. Try as they
might, the United States Pentagon and State Department couldn't find an
Afrikan country willing to host AFRICOM.
In desperation, it seems, the US made the President of Djibouti, a tiny
country on the Horn of Africa and one of the poorest countries in the world, “an offer he couldn't refuse” and now Djibouti is the future home of the $6
billion AFRICOM megabase.
One small problem, though: the Eritrean military is strategically placed on
Eritrean high ground overlooking the AFRICOM base that is being built in
Djibouti. And, because of US interference in the region, Eritrea is not a friend
to the US.
Why Didn't Obama Tell Us About AFRICOM?
Dr. Ray Hagins
...During our Sunday Night Live Show, [25 January 2K9] our chief elder of The Afrikan Village at Kansas City called in to share some information with us. After answering his call and giving and receiving greetings from each other, he asked me if I had ever heard of “Africom.” I told that I hadn’t and he proceeded to inform me about it. Well, as he was talking, I googled it. Many sites came up. The first site that I clicked on was Wikipedia, which stated, …
If you were paying attention to Barack Obama's campaign promises last July you heard him say, “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”...

Politico-Economic Context: Raw Materials to the Market Place
Whilst recently in West Africa, it was reinforced again that the plight of Africans world wide is the same. We are presently suffering from a world wide lack of actualized power. True power. It is said that power comes from the land, and land represents the location of resources. Presently, Africans are disconnected from total supremacy over our land and resources that dwell therein. More succinctly, we do not have complete control over the extraction of our natural resources and the shaping, molding, and/or refining of our natural resources and its final packaging for sale on the world market. Plug in any natural resource/raw material which the African land has in abundance such as gold, oil, bauxite, cocoa, plutonium, etc. and the situation is the same......
....Gentrification is a specific and particular economic
cycle of the real estate and financial markets, defined
by specific and unique relationships of economic
components and forces. While it is critical to
understand those specific and unique relationships, in
some way they are merely details, as the fundamental
objective of gentrification is the same as the
objectives of other economic cycles: to maximize
profits. While the cycle of gentrification dictates profit
maximization, it is important to distinguish between
an objective and a method of achieving those
objectives. The objective of gentrification, or any
economic cycle for that matter, is not to engage in the
specific acts which lead to the profits, such as flipping
homes and moving low-income black people out of
their communities. Those specific acts are merely the
method by which the objective is achieved. The
fundamental objective of the broader economic
system, capitalism, irrespective of cycles, is to exact
the maximum profits, using which ever methods or
acts necessary....
