Goldman Sachs Reveals it Shorted Gulf of Mexico


NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) - In what is looming as another public
relations predicament for Goldman Sachs, the banking giant admitted today
that it made "a substantial financial bet against the Gulf of Mexico" one
day before the sinking of an oil rig in that body of water.

The new revelations came to light after government investigators turned up
new emails from Goldman employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre in which he
bragged to a girlfriend that the firm was taking a "big short" position on
the Gulf.

"One oil rig goes down and we're going to be rolling in dough," Mr. Tourre
wrote in one email. "Suck it, fishies and birdies!"

The news about Goldman's bet against the Gulf comes on the heels of
embarrassing revelations that the firm had taken a short position on Lindsay
Lohan's acting career. More here.

Even better:

A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s
Northern Fleet

is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media
blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon
oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor
Transocean

that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries
Co. Ltd

.., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic
damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to
the United States.
Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea
against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war”

it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against
each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign

the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War

..
To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo
vessel” Dai Hong Dan

believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops

left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana

) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended
course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello

bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater
Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the
coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class
Mini Submarine

(Yugo class

) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).
On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by
these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater
Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a
massive explosion

and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright.
Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini
Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly
beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink
beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day

with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.
To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these
reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible
dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of
the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT

) set to begin May 3rd in New York.
This “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he
is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil
leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the
only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear
device.
Russian Navy atomic experts in these reports state that should Obama
choose the “nuclear option” the most viable weapon at his disposal is
the United States B83 (Mk-83

) strategic thermonuclear bomb having a variable yield (Low Kiloton
Range to 1,200 Kilotons) which with its 12 foot length and 18 inch
diameter, and weighing just over 2,400 pounds, is readily able to be
deployed and detonated by a remote controlled mini-sub.
Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be
supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996

issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that
they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme
circumstances” or “self defense”.
On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave
the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World
having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic
weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran.
To whatever decision Obama makes it remains a fact that with each
passing hour this environmental catastrophe grows worse. And even though
Obama has ordered military SWAT teams

to protect other oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from any further attack,
and further ordered

that all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico be immediately stopped, this
massive oil spill has already reached the shores of America and with
high waves and more bad weather forecast

the likelihood of it being stopped from destroying thousands of miles of
US coastland and wildlife appears unstoppable.
And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only
devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this
North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this
disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500
Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster
being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations
from bankruptcy.
Important to note too in all of these events was that this was the
second attack by North Korea on its South Korean enemy, and US ally, in
a month as we had reported on in our March 28th report titled “Obama
Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and
which to date neither the Americans or South Korea have retaliated for
and giving one senior North Korean party leader the courage to openly
state that the North Korean military took “gratifying revenge”

on South Korea.
And for those believing that things couldn’t get worse, they couldn’t be
more mistaken as new reports

coming from Japanese military sources are stating that North Korea is
preparing for new launches of its 1,300 kilometer (807 miles)
intermediate range ballistic “Rodong” missile which Russian Space Forces

experts state is able to “deploy and detonate” an atomic electromagnetic
pulse (EMP

) device, and which if detonated high in the atmosphere could
effectively destroy the American economy for years, if not decades, to
come.?
