THIS IS the horrifying photograph British Petroleum and President Barack Obama don’t want you to see – Satan’s evil image in a toxic oil plume rising up from the floor of a ruptured well on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico.
Just what the picture depicts is a matter of conjecture and worthy of debate.
Leaked to derekclontz.com by a government source, it might be, as a BP executive who identified himself only as “Karl” put it, a “curiosity with no meaning whatsoever.
“It is not ‘The Devil’. It is not ‘Satan’. It is no different than somebody finding an image of Jesus Christ in a taco shell or pine board,” the source concluded in a tersely worded e-mail response to our questions.
“I have no further comment.”
To which a veteran Environmental Protection Agency investigator replied: “A curiosity? That’s what BP calls it?
“First let me say that I am a Christian. Second, let me say that I, as a Christian, take Satan seriously,” the source, who requested anonymity to avoid reprisals from her non-religious bosses, said in an unusually candid telephone interview from a field office in New Orleans
“Third, let me say that in my view, it is quite possible this image is a warning sign from a supernatural power – either directly from God or directly from the Devil – indicating that we, as humans, have overstepped our bounds in the pursuit of technology and material wealth, and now we’re in for some payback.”
One thing is for sure: BP and the President have enough explaining to do without having to deal with fears that in addition to millions of gallons of toxic oil, BP might have released a demonic entity from the bowels of Hell itself.
In fact, White House sources tell derekclontz.com that President Obama is “deeply concerned” that citizens “will misread this image” and begin to associate an environmental misstep with something apocalyptic or satanic.
That, he is said to have continued, “will have them clinging more than ever to their guns and their religion,” a statement surprisinglyly similar to one that got him in trouble with Christians and salt-of-the-earth Americans when he was campaigning for office prior to the 2008 election.
“Cool heads must prevail,” the sources further quote the President as saying. “But with an image like this out there, it’s not going to be easy to keep cool heads. People will be scared.”
It is believed that the photograph is a still image from a BP video that the company initially tried to keep under wraps.
An unnamed federal investigator is said to have isolated it while viewing what the government source called “miles of video” in an attempt to determine just how much oil is, in fact, billowing out of the ruptured well.
Both BP and the White House declined official, on-the-record comment, with a London-based BP press spokeswoman referring derekclontz.com to the White House – and White House press secretary Robert Gibbs referring our reporter to BP.
