Was Venezuela Behind the BP Oil Spill?

I found it very interesting that a Venezuelan gas rig mysteriously sank just one week after the BP oil rig explosion and it was blacked out by the media. Immediately, the media was reading the White House script handed to them, rather than reporting or investigating events that could lead to the real reasons why this catastrophe happened.

What made me come to this theory that a Venezuelan submarine (bought from the Russians) was behind this tragedy that killed 11 oil workers in the Gulf?

Well, websites that are supposedly linked to Russian FSB intelligence leaked stories that a North Korean submarine attacked the BP rig with a torpedo. Russian intelligence never releases the truth; they only release a cover story to hide the truth. This made me very suspicious and I kept an eye on this angle, rather than the mainstream media/White House script that was being spewed daily.

Hugo Chavez has spent billions on Russian weapons in recent years and at least 6 submarines were part of that purchase if I remember correctly. Venezuela is a Russian proxy and there is nothing more that Russia and China would like is to weaken the USA's oil drilling abilities via a crisis.

Did a Venezuelan submarine hit the BP oil rig with a torpedo and the USA retaliated against one of their gas rigs and this entire incident is being covered up? Why did the Russian KGB/FSB sites release that cover story blaming a North Korean submarine? We may never find out the truth to this entire incident folks.

Russia is the number one oil exporter in the world and it is interesting that none of their off shore oil rigs are blowing up. Russia passed Saudi Arabia over one year ago as the leading oil producer in the world, but we still hear the propaganda that Russia is weak, poor and our friend.

This spill is a blessing to the Marxist American environmental groups, because they are working for our enemies. It is their goal to weaken the USA as much as they can with lawsuits to prevent us from drilling, but Russia and China are drilling away off of the coast of Cuba and in the Gulf as well.

This spill is also a blessing for Obama, because it keeps the media off of the real issues like his ineligibility to be president and his radical left wing agenda. When is the last time that you heard about the health care takeover? They want the health care takeover erased from your memory just in time for the November elections and it is working like a charm.

This spill is also a blessing for Obama, because this crisis will be used as a tool for him to take over all oil drilling in the USA and the oil companies will be held hostage. This will drive up gas and all energy costs through the roof. The elite love this, because your car will not be in the way of their limousines any longer due to the fact that you can not afford the gas to drive on your little road trips.

Was the Oil Rig Explosion a Russian Spetsnaz Operation?

Total Time Of Investigation: 53 Hours, 20 Minutes

Faisal Shahzad In Custody After Nearly Fleeing United States

The arraignment of Times Square terror suspect Faisal Shahzad has been postponed until Tuesday afternoon. Authorities said Shahzad confessed to receiving explosives training in Pakistan and is being held by federal agents in lower Manhattan.

Charges against Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Pakistan, were contained in a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan. Shahzad was arrested overnight as he attempted to leave the country on a flight.

The complaint says he confessed to buying an SUV, rigging it with a homemade bomb and driving it Saturday night into Times Square, where he tried to detonate it. It also says he admitted to receiving bomb-making training in Waziristan, Pakistan, but there is no mention of al-Qaida.

Officials said Tuesday that Shahzad, 30, is providing "useful" information in his interrogation. When they detained him, they found a gun in his car and other incriminating evidence.

"It is clear that this was a terrorist act aimed at murdering Americans in one of the busiest places in our country," Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday.

 Wanna Speak Out On This Story? Write On Our Facebook Wall!

Shahzad, 30, a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen, has been in custody since shortly after midnight. He was hauled off a plane in the nick of time as it was about to fly to the Middle East. CBS 2 obtained air traffic control recording intended to stop the pilots from taking off. The controller alerts pilots to "immediately" return to the gate.

The charges he'll faces for allegedly planting the explosive-laden SUV in Times Square include an act of terrorism transcending national borders; attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction; use of a destructive device during the commission of another crime; and assorted explosive charges.

There were many developments in the fast-paced investigation, but sources told CBS 2 how the operation went down. Spooked by reports that authorities were looking for a Pakistani-American, Shahzad rushed out of his Bridgeport, Conn. Home and headed for the airport. He made the reservations on the way, paying cash for his ticket.

Agents raiding his Bridgeport home found components for the bomb device, including firecrackers and the boxes for the alarm clocks. They also reportedly found a hand-drawn map of potential targets, including the 4, 5, and 6 trains and the Staten Island ferry. There was also evidence of his ties to Pakistan, including a Karachi ID and residency papers.

Pakistan officials have reportedly made arrests in connection with the case. One of the suspects, Tausif Ahmed, is believed to have traveled to American two months ago to meet with Shahzad.

"We are working with our law enforcement and intelligence partners to uncover all possible ties this particular individual has to radical extremism terrorist organizations, both at home and overseas," said FBI Director John Pistole.

In the end, it took officials just 53 hours and 20 minutes to solve the case.

What are the idiots up too?

SIZE OF NUCLEAR STOCKPILE TO BE DISCLOSED

In an historic step, the U.S. Government will formally reveal the number of
nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal.

Until now, the shifting size of the nuclear arsenal had only been
declassified from 1945 up to 1961. Current stockpile figures were the
subject of more or less informed speculation. The pending disclosure was
first reported by the Washington Post.

Among other things, the declassification of the nuclear stockpile is a
milestone in secrecy reform. It means that what must be the single most
significant number in the domain of national security policy will now be in
the public domain. It will also set a standard by which the nuclear
transparency policies of other nations may be assessed.

If there is any cause for dismay in today's announcement, it is that it took
so long to accomplish. The Department of Energy, which has the highest
concentration of nuclear weapons expertise in the federal government, had
proposed declassification of stockpile size as early as 1992, as noted in a
2000 DOE fact sheet on the subject. But the DOE proposal was blocked by the
Department of Defense.

Other DOE declassification proposals that have been stymied would have
disclosed the explosive yield of retired or dismantled nuclear weapons
(blocked by DOD), and the locations of former nuclear weapons storage sites
abroad (blocked by DOD and State). An Energy Department classification
official told Secrecy News last week that the Department also favors public
disclosure of the budget of the DOE Office of Intelligence (which had been
public information up until 2004), but that the Director of National
Intelligence had vetoed the move.

"We get blamed for a lot of stuff that's not our fault," the DOE official
said.

bad news for u.s. :Germany Answers Obama Call For NATO Troops In US Homeland

Check this out!

Germany Answers Obama Call For NATO Troops In US Homeland

By: Faal...i.e. GRU in RUSSIA

In a move showing the rapidly deteriorating conditions in the United States, where new reports are showing nearly 1 out of 5 Americans are now jobless  and another 20 million have been thrown from their homes into the street, the GRU is reporting to Prime Minister Putin today that German Chancellor Angela Merkel [photo top right with Obama] has ordered her Federal Ministry of Defense"immediate" to place over 18,000 Bundeswehr troops under NATO command for redeployment to the heartland of the US.

According to these reports, Merkel received an "urgent" plea from Obama this past fortnight for these German troops after being told by his US Military Commanders that they may not have sufficient forces in their Northern Command to keep an expected American civil-war from occurring during the expected bank failures set to occur in their Nation in late April and early May and depriving these already beleaguered people of even the most basic of necessities forcing millions of them into relief camps. 

These reports further state that Merkel has scheduled an early April tour of the United States to "see for herself" where Bundeswehr troops will be employed by NATO against the American people, but has also "stressed" to Obama that German soldiers should not be utilized in any combat operations, only missions of support and disaster relief.

Russian Military Analysts are further stating in these reports that over 20,000 NATO military troops, from various European Nations, have already been "infiltrated" into the United States during the past 7 weeks through the vast American base called the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC) located in the State of Indiana. 

As horrifying as it is that the Americans even have a military base where their troops are being trained to fight against their own citizens, even more shocking is MUTC's motto "Defend The Homeland-Win The Peace", and especially noted in these reports for its "Orwellian" phrasing reminiscent of the 2001 Patriot Act which has done more to strip these peoples of their rights and freedoms than any other law in US history.

Important to note about these events is that as Obama continues his steady march towards martial law, the fear of him is causing many US States to begin a rapid loosening of their already lax gun laws (as compared to the EU and Russia) in preparation for an expected assault on their freedoms from their central government overlords. 

New reports from the United States are also showing that their citizens have been plundered on a scale not seen in that country since the Robber Baron's of the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries destroyed their once vibrant Republic to replace it with a much more "compliant" Democracy (mob rule, i.e. "two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have dinner) and has seen the disparity of wealth between these people and their elite classes reach a level not seen since the 1920's, and which led to the Great Depression.  

So dire has the banking crisis become in the United States that their largest bank Citigroup this past week notified all of its customer that beginning April 1^st it is reserving the right to refuse letting any American withdrawal money from their checking or savings accounts for up to 7 days.  And if that isn't bad enough, the United States chief banking regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), is now making a desperate plea for all Americans to participate in what they are calling "America Saves Week" and put more of their money in this already collapsing banking system.

Paradoxically, at the exact same time that the American people are being warned their money is not going to be available to them, and as the FDIC is pleading with them to put more money into their banks, the Wall Street Journal News is reporting today that lending from American banks has now fallen to "epic lows" not seen since the early days of World War II in 1942.

To the options left available to the American people to protect themselves against the continued tyranny they are being subjected to by their own government and elite classes there appears to be very few, and as we can read as reported by London's Times Online News Service in their article titled "Buy farmland and gold,'" advises Dr Doom", and which says:

"The world's most powerful investors have been advised to buy farmland, stock up on gold and prepare for a "dirty war" by Marc Faber, the notoriously bearish market pundit, who predicted the 1987 stock market crash.

The bleak warning of social and financial meltdown, delivered today in Tokyo at a gathering of 700 pension and sovereign wealth fund managers.

Dr Faber, who advised his audience to pull out of American stocks one week before the 1987 crash and was among a handful who predicted the more recent financial crisis, vies with the Nouriel Roubini, the economist, as a rival claimant for the nickname Dr Doom.

Speaking today, Dr Faber said that investors, who control billions of dollars of assets, should start considering the effects of more disruptive events than mere market volatility.

"The next war will be a dirty war," he told fund managers: "What are you going to do when your mobile phone gets shut down or the internet stops working or the city water supplies get poisoned?"

Even worse for the American people is that they are now being feared by their own government officials, including their Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano who told reporters this past week that US "authorities are becoming more concerned about American citizens or legal residents becoming involved in terrorist plots against the United States."

And to just how fearful the US government has become of its own citizens we can see evidenced in Obama's allowing their police forces to continue tapping and tracking their cell phones without their even having to obtain a warrant, as if each and every American citizen is now a criminal subject in their own Nation. Important to note too is that we had previously documented American officials openly stating that they have the right to assassinate and even massacre their own citizens should they deem them a threat. 

Most unfortunately in all of these events are the American people still believing the lies told to them by their propaganda media and meant to keep them mollified and distracted from the coming horrors they will have to face as their American dream becomes revealed for what it truly is….a nightmare beyond comprehension

 Only a damned fool puts his hope in mankind put it in the Lord where you are assured a return on your investment!

In Iran, Death by Poison Salad and a Hair-cream Overdose

In Iran, death by poison salad and a hair-cream overdose

Iranian whistleblower Dr. Ramin Pourandarjan was killed by a poison salad, says prosecutor, in the fourth explanation of his Nov. 10 death. It's not the first bizarre death in Iranian political circles.

By Scott Peterson | Staff writer 12.03.09

ISTANBUL, TURKEY — Prosecutors in Iran says they don’t yet know whether the suspicious death of a doctor – Ramin Pourandarjan – was murder or suicide. But they know the cause: a poisoned salad.

At least, that’s the latest in a case where authorities have already made a number of competing claims, from a car crash that never happened to suicide in a courthouse. <!--[endif]-->

A poisoned salad might sound unlikely, but stranger causes of death have been known in Iranian political circles.

The political and cultural war between hard-line conservatives and more moderate reformists has produced similar surprises – notably in 1999, when a key Iranian intelligence official supposedly committed suicide by drinking hair removal cream. Yes, that’s the official line. <!--[endif]-->

Why was Dr. Pourandarjani’s salad laced with poison?

Ramin Pourandarjani was a 26-year-old doctor working at Iran’s Kahrizak detention facility. He witnessed abuses of Iranians taken there in the violent aftermath of Iran’s June presidential election. He then testified about the abusive treatment to a parliamentary committee. The facility was finally closed down, but not before former detainees said rape and torture were common practice.

Dr. Pourandarjani, as part of his military service, was assigned to the facility. He had seen the badly beaten son of the adviser of one of Iran’s conservative candidates, and one of the most high-profile detainees. ”

That detainee, Mohsen Rouhalamini, was brought to him “in a dreadful state after being subjected to extreme physical torture. He was in a critical state,” the opposition Mowjcamp Web site reported him telling parliamentary deputies, as translated by the AP.

When the detainee died, Pourandarjani reportedly said, “officials at Kahrizak threatened that if I disclosed the causes of the wounds of the injured at Kahrizak, I would not be able to live.”

Iranian opposition and media reports said the doctor was forced to change the cause of death to “meningitis.”

The doctor was concerned about his safety after his revelations further tarnished Iran’s reputation after the contested June vote. More than 4,000 Iranians were arrested and scores killed during weeks of clashes with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Basij militia. Accusations of rape and torture by Iranians who were detained have embarrassed the Islamic Republic, adding to what military commanders have called the most serious crisis for Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Accident? Suicide? Or what?

But Pourandarjani’s Nov. 10 death has been shrouded in a trail of false claims. Initially, authorities called the doctor’s father in Tabriz, Iran, saying his son had been in a car accident, broken his leg, and needed their consent for surgery. Then the story changed to a heart attack in his sleep.

Last week, Iran’s police commander claimed that Pourandarjani was facing charges over his Kahrizak duties, had killed himself in a courthouse lounge, and had left a note on his body.

Now, a salad brought to Pourandarjani by a delivery man was found to be laced with heart and blood pressure medicine, according to Iranian news reports, which quoted Tehran public prosecutor Abbas Dowlatabadi as saying that the doctor died of “poisoning by drugs.”

After Pourandarjani’s death, the father said that suicide was unlikely: “Just the night before his death, my child talked to me on the phone, it was around 8 or 9 p.m. He sounded great, very dignified, displaying no sign of someone about to commit suicide,” the father told the Associated Press from Tabriz last month. “He was even full of hope,” and making future plans.

Similar doubt of suicide attended the 1999 death of Saeed Emami, a deputy minister of intelligence who was charged with running a “rogue” death squad in Iran’s intelligence ministry.

The group had brutally murdered a string of dissident intellectuals in late 1998, and were found to have had target lists of 200 more reformists. Many Iranians say they believe Emami was deeply engaged in scores of assassinations of regime opponents in Europe and Iraq through the mid-1990s.

So few Iranians find credible the official report that he took his own life, by drinking hair removal cream, while having a bath.
