Here is brief documentation that the BP “live” feed of Gulf gusher is actually a short loop that has been repeating for 8+ hours — what are they hiding? On the evening of May 26, 2010, from at least around 8:00 pm to at least 1:45 am May 27th, the alleged “live” feed at www.bp.com was not actually showing “live” action, but was in a loop, playing the same few frames over and over again. The clock ticks in real time, but the image is not new but is repeated. I took a video shot of my computer screen playing this out, explaining this as I recorded it. I have to wonder what it is that is really taking place that they don’t want people to see. This reminds me of the movies where some dastardly deed is being done while a security camera is being fed a loop from an earlier time. There certainly has been a lot of covering up going on with this oil spill. This is taking place during the procedure that BP calls the “top kill.” You would think they would at least try to be more convincing by showing a segment of film with at least a half hour loop, rather than just a few seconds. I’m composing a story at PESN.com to explain further. pesn.com Shortly after I finally posted a link to this story in my news, the BP live feed went off-line to a black screen. It was down by 4:00 am. Video Rating: 4 / 5
