KEEP OUT! OIL ARTISTS AT WORK!
For the last two weeks I have been gathering the Defenders of the Planet Earth around the Lone Cypress Tree at Pebble Beach. Down the coast, workers dressed like Spacemen are trying to remove spilled oil-goo from the rock and pebbles. Noble Oil and Plains All American Pipeline, had oil-sex, and gave birth to another oil company. They slimed our beaches for money. I will make sure the Big Sur Land Trust is made aware that a member of its board, is a CEO of Noble Oil, and helps this Bohemoth avoid paying taxes.
George Bush and his evangelical handlers employed Shock and Awe in order to Privatize Iraq’s oil, for starters. Now, the recipient of S&A are grabbing all the oil and artifacts their armed thugs and killers can get their hands on. What art they do not destroy, they sell as loot on the Black Market, or, take ransom money and buy weapons. George Bush, like Reagan and Thatcher, along with the Christian-right, have conducted S&A on Artists and Hippies, because they are prone to demonstrate against nuclear plants, oil ships, and wells. They have been titled ‘Un-American’ for doing this.
The Koch brothers and Dick Armey had oil-sex and gave birth to the Tea Party, lest We the People got wise and went after the Banks and Oil Pirates who rule this planet. ISIS is going after its own oil, and is why the U.S. backs the Iraqis even thought they have lost control of their nation.
The Oil Pirates went after my families Creative Legacy and competed with Christine’s and my biography. Rosamond knew too much. She ran with these people. Below is a photo of my sister at the Getty mansion in New York. On the mantle is a painting that broke a record at auction twenty years ago. Garth Benton, and Shannon Rosamond, did the murals for the Getty Villa which looks like Palymar. Did ancient space aliens build this world wonder, too? I wonder what pagan plays they put on in the amphitheatre. The Christians burned the scripts when they rolled thru.
ANADARKO is ultimately responsible for the Gulf Spill. Is the anti-Gaia, a female monster born of dinosaur-goo deep in the womb of darkness?
“In an announcement Friday, Plains and Magellan said the new line has binding commitments from producers Noble Energy and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., and that Anadarko has an option to obtain a 20 percent stake in the venture.”

The Islamic State terror group now controls over half of Syrian territory after seizing the village and archaeological site of Palmyra Thursday, activists monitoring Syria’s civil war said.
Rami Abdurrahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told the Associated Press the extremists overran the archaeological site, just to the southwest of the modern settlement on Palmyra, shortly after midnight local time.
Binding commitments have been received from Houston-based Noble Energy Inc. (NYSE: NBL) and a subsidiary of The Woodlands-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: APC), which has an option for up to 20 percent equity ownership in Saddlehorn Pipeline Co.
Houston-based Plains and Oklahoma-based Magellan Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: MMP) formed Saddlehorn Pipeline Co., a 50-50 limited liability company, to build, own and operate a 550-mile pipeline.
GOLETA, Calif. — The Texas-based pipeline operator responsible for a pipe that ruptured along the Santa Barbara coast, spilling thousands of gallons of oil, has a history of federal safety and maintenance violations, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Officials have closed Refugio State Beach and nearby El Capital Beach through the Memorial Day weekend, when their campgrounds would normally be filled.
About 4 miles of beach were inundated with oil, and the Coast Guard reported Wednesday that two slicks stretched over 9 miles.
Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency in Santa Barbara County to help speed up the cleanup efforts.
“This emergency proclamation cuts red tape and helps the state quickly mobilize all available resources,” Brown said in a statement Wednesday night. “We will do everything necessary to protect California’s coastline.”
Boats deployed booms to contain the oil and protect habitat of shore birds, including the snowy plover, and skimmers sucked up the surface oil. Cleanup crews worked along the shore to clear the black, gooey crude from the rocks and sand.
Plains All American Pipeline has estimated that in a “worst-case scenario,” up to 105,000 gallons of oil spilled Tuesday from its ruptured onshore pipeline and that an estimated 21,000 gallons swept down a storm drain that empties into the Pacific.
The company said a control room operator noticed “abnormalities” and shut down the pipeline. Around the same time, Santa Barbara County firefighters responded to a report of a strong gasoline smell at Refugio State Beach and found oil pouring into the ocean.
Two hours later, a Plains employee “visually confirmed the release” from the pipe, which was built in 1987 and carried 50,400 gallons per hour, the company and the Unified Command said Wednesday. It’s not known why the pipeline broke.
“Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred and is making every effort to limit its environmental impact,” the company said in a statement. “Our focus remains on ensuring the safety of all involved.”
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that an analysis of data from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration shows Plains’ rate of incidents per mile of pipe is more than three times the national average. Only four companies from among more than 1,700 pipeline operators listed in a database maintained by the federal agency reported more infractions than Plains Pipeline.
The Times says infractions involved pump failure, equipment malfunction, pipeline corrosion and operator error, but no injuries. According to federal records, since 2006 the company’s incidents caused more than $23 million in property damage and spilled more than 688,000 gallons of hazardous liquid, the newspaper reports.
It says a Plains Pipeline spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about its regulatory record.
It’s the second time in a year that a Plains pipeline has ruptured in California. Last May, a stretch of a 130-mile pipe spilled about 19,000 gallons of crude through the streets of Atwater Village in Los Angeles County, forcing nearby buildings to be evacuated.
The Santa Barbara Independent reported that in a settlement in 2010 with the federal Environmental Protection Agency, Plains agreed to spend $41 million to upgrade 10,400 miles of pipeline nationwide and pay $3.2 million in civil penalties.
“Unfortunately with accidents and oil development, it is not a question of if, but of when,” said Owen Bailey, executive director of the Environmental Defense Center. “But to see this level of spill into such a sensitive and treasured environment is devastating.”
The extent of the damage from the latest spill is not clear. Initial reports of harm to marine life included some oil-soaked birds and one dead octopus. The coastal area is habitat for seals, sea lions and whales, which are migrating north.
Santa Barbara County Supervisor Doreen Farr called the ” beautiful and pristine” stretch of coastline “unique to the world.”
“This is more than an inconvenience,” she said. “This is just a disaster. We are taking it very seriously.”
Built in 1987 and installed in 1991, the pipeline transfers oil from ExxonMobil’s Las Flores Canyon Processing Facility to a pumping station in Gaviota owned by Plains. The oil then flows east to refineries in Kern County.
The pipeline underwent a “major internal inspection” in 2012 and again “a few weeks ago,” though the latest results are not available, Plains said Wednesday. No problems were reported.
Kevin Drude, head of the county’s energy division, told the Santa Barbara Independent he was puzzled why the pipeline did not shut down automatically. He said its sensor system can “pick up pinhole leaks.”
BP has billed Anadarko more than $272 million for its share of cleanup and response costs in the Gulf, according to a bill that was sent by BP and obtained by TPMMuckraker. Anadarko publicly suggested that it will not pay for costs associated with the oil disaster, claiming in a statement that BP was guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Under the joint operating agreement, Anadarko must pay its portion of costs related to any incident—unless that incident was caused by its partner’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.[7]
HOUSTON — Magellan Midstream Partners and Plains All American Pipeline are teaming up on a new $850 million, 550-mile pipeline to carry crude oil from Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma.
The new pipeline, called the Saddlehorn, will be built and owned by the Saddlehorn Pipeline Co., a 50-50 joint venture between the two companies.
In an announcement Friday, Plains and Magellan said the new line has binding commitments from producers Noble Energy and Anadarko Petroleum Corp., and that Anadarko has an option to obtain a 20 percent stake in the venture.
The line could be in service by mid-2016 if permitting and construction go smoothly, according to the announcement. Magellan said it will serve as construction manager and pipeline operator.
Binding commitments have been received from Houston-based Noble Energy Inc. (NYSE: NBL) and a subsidiary of The Woodlands-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: APC), which has an option for up to 20 percent equity ownership in Saddlehorn Pipeline Co.
Houston-based Plains and Oklahoma-based Magellan Midstream Partners LP (NYSE: MMP) formed Saddlehorn Pipeline Co., a 50-50 limited liability company, to build, own and operate a 550-mile pipeline.
