Insurance job. Didn't see that one coming...
What's Spanish for "Jewish lightning"?
I'm not sure about Spanish, but in Kenya it's pronounced 'Obama".
Premature eja....Oh, Pemex Oil Evacuation. Got it.
this is getting depressing
its all strategic when the price is low.
Perhaps Mexico is geting ready to introduce gold and silver legal tender law just like Texas.
like utah, arizona, oklhoma, kansas, trnnessee and south carolina...
Campeche Sound is 50% of Mx oil production.
The collection on carbon credits should be great on this one.

now come on guys, it is Mexico for God's sake.....

Was there a group of synchronized swimming Israelis spotted nearby?
No but a bottle nosed hasbara dolphin was reported missing from the NWO Zioquariam in Houston.
Coincidence? I think not!
What's Arabic for "Saudi Lightning"?
Alla Snackbar ?
What diffrence does it make?

One of the first thoughts I had - oil prices need to go up, too much in storage - let's have a fire!
On the other hand, oil rigs are pretty complex operations and fires do happen...
Haliburton up to their old tricks again I see... Interesting. Guess the price of oil has been too low for to long. Cheney throwing another temper tantrum...
False Flag!

Definitely worth watching! That Erin-chick interviewing GCelente is better than Barbie!
She is HOT
That's a very clever outfit she's wearing. They say TV makes you look fat, but that outfit makes her look thin. Notice how it emphasizes the figure as well? I would have put black striping on the shoulders as well, as she's pretty broad up there, but overall I give the wardrobe people top marks.
You're right. It's a pleasure to see an attractive, well spoken, intelligent young lady, dressed tastefully, her hair styled, and free of nose piercings or other weirdness. It's strange. Where I live, you don't expect to see that much except among visiting Asians. Most locals dress like clowns or just let themselves go. At least in the Depression, men and women still dressed and carried themselves with dignity. Men in the soup lines wore a shirt and tie!
In central FL, it seems like most of the white people have tatoos. On their necks, faces, lower legs, shoulders, fucking everywhere.
I agree with Return of Kings... tatooed bitches are crazy bitches. Don't ever stick your dick in crazy.
They're mostly fat here and its almost as bad as my neck of the woods.
Your observation matches mine. Generally, people with tattoos are messed up.
You do NOT see tattoos in Asia generally. There are some obvious exceptions, certain groups, but those people have given up their individuality, so feeling pity is pointless.
She'd be alright if she didn't look like Rob Lowe's kid sister.
WNHI -- Don't go for batshit crazy liberal bishes.
Edit: I thought you all were referring to the Erin on CNN. My bad.
The chick has Crazy Peepers. Fucks like a whore but will boil your daughter's bunny rabbit.
All water diet. Eyes probably jiggle in her head like cookie monster's.
Mexico was late on its OPEC protection payment. Saudi Arabia needs all the money it can get now that its ISIS cohorts are facing defeat in Yemen and Iraq and these mercenaries want full payment for services rendered.
Long Ecolab...moar Corexit!!
Expect more explosions. That should fix the stubborn oil price.
Ding Ding Ding.
Conan's the winner in the "First to Declare Conspiracy Award" for this ZH post.
Thanks to all those who played.
Problem is, he's probably correct.
When in doubt, just blow shit up. Works for the War on Terror all the time.
How does your brain manage the wherewithal to keep telling your heart to beat once per second?
I thought your post above was <sarc>.
Apparently you're just stupid and can't connect the dots. Oh, that's right oil rigs blow up all the fuckan time.
Um. They kinda do.
http://home.versatel.nl/the_sims/rig/losses.htm
Interesting list. Especially the causes and how many were actually destroyed by fire.
Very few of those were fire or explosions and how many were completely destroyed? It could be an accident or maybe not. Interesting how as the price of oil stays low, all these wars start to pop up across oil producing countries then a rig explodes. There's trillions of dollars at stake. People have been killed for much less.
Oh, the sarcasm was definitely on; and you'd have had to be blind to have missed it because I was laying it on pretty thick.
You are obviosly not very bright; and it's people like you who are predisposed to conspiracy theory when they see interesting things happen that they don't understand and have made no effort to understand. There are reasonable explanations for oil rigs catching on fire, Lufthansa flights diving into the French Alps, and the aurora borealis that don't involve sabotage, false flag psy-ops, or the HAARP.
Many conspiracy theories are themselves a conspiracy - part of the disinformation campaign to discredit the investigation of real conspiracies.
Not that you'd have to go that far to discredit conspiracy theorists. Most are capable of doing that without any outside help.
How is your reasonable explanation coming along on WTC 7?
If it was sarc, why the ad hom attack on my comment then?
People like me? That's pretty rich. Maybe it was an accident. We shall see. Or maybe you're just an asshole ignoring issues like 9/11, WMD's/Iraq war, LIBOR and PM rigging, and many other frauds and false flags all proven to be conspiracy facts?
Abusive? Yes. Ad hominem? No.
Your use straw man argumentation to prove you're every bit as dumb as I said you were? Priceless.
Let me rephrase it then. Why be abusive if you agree with what I said?
Just trying to follow your twisted logic pal.
My what a large mouth you have....oh wait thats your ass.
dat funny, like dis one time I to' a guy he gots lips da size ma' ass...den he to' me I gots lips da size hid fist...
but look like y'all gettin' uptight up in hea', jus r'lax wid a spoon, and a nice lady...all paid fo' by d'bama, and d'EBT...
Unfortunately I think conspiracy for this one is misplaced. Even the anglo's screw it up sometimes. Here's a documentary about the Piper Alpha oil platform explosion in the North Sea.

You are dealing with complicated mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems that handle immense quantities of hydrocarbons. It is not that hard to screw it up and blow stuff up.
Waiting for ISIS to blow up Saudi facilities.
Could be a LOOOONG wait.
They know who their boss is.
Israeli security?
Israeli Secret Intelligence Service. ISIS.
keynsian bullish!
now the MIC-keynsians needs some other types of things to blow up
Don't be soliciting suggestions, there isn't enough pixel capacity to cover it.
Not for me. God bless the oil platform workers. Hope everyone is safe.
Yay, crude is going higher. The only thing that matters is higher oil prices, we don't want the proles catching a fucking break.
One little oil rig fire and the crude market jumps like that? yeah, right. bastards.
Shale oil sludge doesn't catch fire, I suppose thats one advantage of losing so much money on each barrel!
Only the local water supply catches fire, but it's fine to drink once you put the flames out.
That's a thoroughly debunked myth.
Insert Mexican joke here_________
Too many beans.
April's Fool ?
Biggest oil platform explosion since Lehman.
@ Dr. Engali,, LMAO. good one
Dont forget MF Global and the CME ponzi. Cant help but think that the MF was changed to somethig nafarious when the dark occulted kiddy fiddler took the helm.

CNN, NBC, FOX...not one word yet.
@ Hoist the BS Flag...
They're not done beating the crap out the dead horse that is the GermanWings FF...Their single neuron will get around to this story in good time.
I keep forgetting who and what kind of "news" entities we are dealing with. thanks for the reminder.
You can always tell when the msm masters are behind a hit. They go into "over-explain" mode, trashing the character of (one of) the vicitm(s).
Let's just hope this won't turn into another "uncontrollable oil leak" like the Deep Water Horizon...
I guess it was finally time to destroy the other half of the gulf.
Actually, da Meskins are the real pioneers in this "real bad rig fire in the Gulf" shit. They already had the Ishtoc #1 fire years ago in the same neighborhood (Campeche Bank) and I heard that they never really made good on the enviro damages, despite the assurances. US gummint simply forgave the debt I guess. Gunked up Texas Louisiana?) beaches.
Why hasn't that rig collapsed on itself? it's been burning more than 45 minutes.
Because fuel/oil can't melt....... Wait a minute!!!!
PULL IT!
Ahh the building 7 reference, well done.
only jet fuel combined with furniture can melt steel
Does Larry S. own this rig?
Tribe fire sale. Yes it involves insurance but that is why the city of London was invented. Expecting some pension fund to go under sometime in the next couple of weeks. I don't post often but I hope spirits are high ZH. Carry on.
We're not going to stop until there's not a single safe inch of earth to lay on, are we?
"Thinking of joining that AIIB deal, huh, Mexico?"
These fuckers just do this for shits and giggles. Keeps the rabble in line. If all the tree huggers and hippy folk go down there to help scrub penguins or some other flightless bird then the less likely they are to address any real kind of problem. Whats the water like in California these days?
Looks like a separation facility. Somewhat akin to a refinery.
Is the Canterell field sour?
Could be lots of opportunities for maintenance issues leading to process upset.
Why is it taking so long for Paul Krugman to respond? This story surely made his day.
you nose
with the oil price collapse un alls
shale implosions already
greater israel and the samson option on the false flag event horizon
least of all the loss of life and trauma for the survivors
we jewishers think it was a good thing to just pull it
so we pulled it and we made the floyds of london division decision to do that
already
This is how supply is manipulated.
Burn, destroy, and invade.
Good thing that shale extraction is even more dangerous, or the Mexicans might be in trouble in this price war.
Is oil spewing everywhere?
So the fleas on planet earth are having a bad day. Another one.
Looking forward now to another summer of Texas tar-ball beaches.
We wouldn't have these oil rig explosions if we went over to nuclear power.
Breaking News! Yats and Porkyshenko tell all on YouTube clip that it was Putin and Russia that took out that Pemex oil platform. Russian periscope seen by Ukrainians on Mexican fishing boat. Russian torpedo suspected. Barry should be on TV soon to draw more pink lines.
Crap.
Say goodbye speck fishing and hello tarballs.
Another huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
What took those midgets in the small submarine so damn long?
You also had them on a mission in California last night, sir.
Rig Count -1
Now, now, don't cry. There's lots more oil where that came from.
Life insurance should pay double.
Life insurance pays triple if you die in a plane crash while on business.

Tell bathhouse barry there's no more lube. And Larry Sinclair prefers gun oil brand lube.
Ahhh the Tackleberry method.
Wow production cut. Didn't see that coming. I've only been saying it here for the last two weeks and old Tyler wouldn't say boo.
Next, the lies about storage filling up...
Anyone who swallowed that rig counts don't matter shit is a fucking idiot. And where was it traced back to... Goldman Sachs analyst Damien Courvalin
Damien Courvalin is a fucking liar. A fucking liar for the Devil.
I had an appetizer platform explode like that in Cerviche Bay once..those damn little candles throw off some heat...
The 300 Mexican workers have now been evacuated,loaded onto Borders sin Frontera busses,and are now in route to Matamoros,where they will transfer onto Greyhound busses,for the short ride to Brownsville,Texas..Once there,they will recieve their disability checks,workmans compensation,Obamacare,and food stamps,courtesy of the Amerikan Taxpayer..
So far nobody has mentioned the various Gulf states suing for damages to their coastline. Another $100 billion... Wait Mexico is a sovereign country, $500 billion.
Haliburton is probably involved, another $200 billion.
Anybody know what charting software Tyler is using?
Since when did it make sense to pump water onto an oil based fire ???
Since oil has been below $90 a barrel.
Could the Russians please stop torpedoing oil platforms in the Gulf? We wouldn't have gone into Ukraine if they left the Deep water horizon alone. Silly ruskies
