Washington Scandal

The USS Hartford docked at Mina Salman pier has apparently been surrounded with protective booms as local Public Commission for the Protection of Fisheries, Environment and Wildlife Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa issued orders for the officials concerned to follow up on the environmental impact the incident may have on Bahrain. It was first thought that this piece of information concerned the 25,000 of Light Crude/Diesel that the USS New Orleans spilled when a 16-18 diamter hole was punched into its hull...it now turns out there could be far more worrisome issues.

It seems that Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa wants WATER SAMPLES from under the Nuclear Fast Attack Sub USS Hartford to ascertain the severity of the RADIOACTIVE LEAK!

He said that officials are monitoring the situation with the US Navy regional environment affairs co-ordinator and Mutual Emergency (MEMAC) and Bahrain port authorities after the vessels were transferred to Bahrain waters for maintenance work.

"We ensured containing the environmental impact from the oil leaks with the use of rubber booms," said the spokesman.

He said that the public commission requested the US Navy to be provided with samples from under the submarine to be analysed as soon as possible at one of the neutral labs in the region.

"The move aimed at establishing the level of the radioactive leak," said the spokesman.

He said that Bahrain authorities also requested an urgent report on procedures that ensure safeguarding marine environment and the health of the workers during maintenance work on the submarine in Bahrain.

"The public commission, in co-ordination with the Royal Navy, learnt that the submarine's fuel was not affected from the collision," said the spokesman.

"The US Navy regional environment affairs co-ordinator also assured us in an urgent reply that the submarine contains measuring and early dedication equipment to monitor any leak of nuclear fuel." (These are the same hallow false propaganda reports the NRC gives us all the time...same thing we heard when Indian Point leaked 100,000 of tritium laced water into the Hudson River, the same excuses they give to deny their guilt in my wife's cancer...what is the real truth MC2 Kirby?)

"We would like to assure all Bahrain residents that the situation is being closely monitored by the authorities concerned." My suggestion to the citizens of Bahrain...TRUST BUT VERIFY as Mr. Reagan used to say...the Nuclear Navy is not above giving you FAKE WATER SAMPLES....have your own divers collect the samples.

This blog contacted Naval Operations, and several people REFUSED COMMENT, one person saying, "we cannot discuss that matter." After much persistence I was told I would have to speak to one PAO Ed Siegler...so far, the man has not bothered to respond to the inquiry. So tell us the TRUTH Mr. Seigler...is the USS Hartford leaking radioactive materials, and if so, how significant is the damage to the nuclear propulsion system? For other news sources that get better response than us bloggers get, you can reach Mr. Siegler at (202)433-2678 or by cell at (703)609-7996 If you get anything, let us know.

If you ever wondered how much control our Pentagon exercises over our supposed America Free Press, wonder NO MORE. We see and hear only what our Government wants us to see, and the proof can be found in the cloak of SCECRACY that has been thrown around the MASSIVE COLLISION of the USS Hartford Nuclear Fast Attack Sub with the MONSTER WAR SHIP the USS New Orleans...can hear the Military Crowd now accusing me of YELLOW JOURNALISM as was done when I first reported on this story. Let me be clear...the Collission of these two Naval Vessels is possibly as close as we will ever come to sinking two American Naval Vessels, one of them a nuclear submarine...and all through our Military's own ingnorance and poor troop performance. Well done Nuclear Navy, you must be so proud of the exclusionary zone you have thrown around this almost Chernobyl event...at least now Admiral Skip Bowman can stop his lie of the nuclear Navy never having a serious accident?

This blogger cannot prove it, but I am officially stating for the record that it is my belief that SERIOUS DAMAGE was done too the Propulsion System of the USS Harford. Hyperbole you say...I believe this enough that I am going to go over the head of the Naval Inspector General who dismissed my first complaint within half and hour of my filing it, and going to both the Pentagon and White House. Who was at the Helm that this much damage was done to these two vessels? Also, why are you still keeping the significance of the damage out of the media...what are we at so...well North of $25 Million?

The USS Hartford hit the USS New Orleans with SUCH FORCE that it almost sheared off its own sail, ripping it along the entire length of its seam, and doing significant damage to the plane. The USS Hartford was under water at the time of the collision with the New Orleans...this was NO BUMP...what makes me believe this? The sixteen foot diameter hole in the Hull of the USS New Orleans. Let me repeat that...the SIXTEEN FOOT HOLE IN THE HULL OF THE SHIP. The sub rolled itself at least 85 degrees before freeing itself, and the USS New Orleans had to be saved from capsizing, suffering INTERNAL SHIP DAMAGE. This explains the injuries suffered by ten percent of the Hartford's crew. Where are some first hand accounts of this crash? I mean lets be real, a car chase brings out six heliocopters and four FOX News crews....this should still be breaking news at six PM.

As this message is being written, over two dozen special team members have been flown over to make EMERGENCY in theatre repairs as the US NAVY hopes to repair the two vessels enough to LIMP THEM HOME under their own power....especially since it seems impossible right now to get the Nuclear Sub back home to America except under its own power...which raises another question....what if I am right in my belief that there has been damage done to the NUCLEAR PROPULSION SYSTEM? Lastly, should the National News media be sitting on such a HUGE STORY, keeping the truth from the American public? Think about it people...a Nuclear Class attack sub SLAMS into a war ship, its three hundred foot length carrying enough speed to pierce the ARMOR PLATING of a warships hull, punching this mighty ship of the sea to create a sixteen foot hole in it...think about that for a moment...a 240 square foot hole opened to the rushing waters of the Hormuz, a Middle East Titanic almost in the Middle East...imagine the political implications of sinking both a war ship and nuclear sub in the Straight of Hormuz.

Monday, March 30, 2009, 9:34 AM

The U.S. Navy submarine and U.S. amphibious ship that collided in the Strait of Hormuz March 20, have been undergoing extensive engineering and damage assessments since pulling into Bahrain March 21.

Engineering and technical experts arrived in Bahrain to assess the damage to USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS New Orleans (LPD 18). They will augment Mid-Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center (MARMC) Detachment Bahrain. These are not just Engineering and technical experts, but the BEST AMERICA HAS...they are there trying to save a submarine, and the USS New Orleans.

Twelve Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard (PHNSY) personnel and two Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) experts are assessing the damage to Hartford and New Orleans and have begun initial in-theater repairs.

While overall damage to both ships is being evaluated, investigators believe Hartford rolled approximately 85 degrees during the collision. That is one MOTHERING FUCKING HIT for a NUCLEAR SUB...there is STRUCTURAL DAMAGE that has to have had an affect on the nuclear propulsion drive.

Despite the roll, engineering investigations have confirmed the propulsion plant of the submarine was unaffected by this collision. As if they would admit any different? The sub drive through A SHIPS HULL, punched a 16 foot diameter hole in it, but EVERYTHING IS FINE? However, Hartford sustained damage to its sail and periscope, as well as the port bow plane.

New Orleans suffered a ruptured fuel tank. Divers have determined the resulting hole is approximately 16 by 18 feet in size. There was also interior damage to two ballast tanks.

In addition to the engineering efforts, two formal investigations are currently underway: a Safety Investigation and a Judge Advocate General Manual (JAGMAN) Investigation. So why was my formally filed citizen complain to the Naval Inspector General Dismissed...everything I alleged is being born out TO BE TRUE, including the lying and coverup. Capt. Craig Kleint, the Dock Landing Ship (LSD) Class Squadron commodore has been appointed as the investigating officer (IO) for the JAGMAN investigation. A senior O-6 submarine officer has been named as the senior member of the Safety Instigation Review, but his name is not releasable until the investigation has been completed.

The Safety Investigation Board is appointed to identify hazards and their causal factors in serious incidents. Their report is an essential tool to identify causes to prevent recurrence.

The JAGMAN investigation is intended to provide a critical and objective overview of what, happened. Kleint, a nuclear-trained surface warfare officer, is joined by a post-command submarine officer. They are supported by a three-person legal team.

Naval Surface Forces (SURFOR) and Naval Submarine Forces (SUBFOR) are providing extensive support to Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) for the Safety Investigation Board and JAGMAN investigation team.

Both investigations have a 30-day initial timeline, but extensions may be granted if more time is needed to complete the investigation process. SURE, BUY TIME, THEN QUIETLY RELEASE THE REPORT LATE ON A FRIDAY.

Hartford and New Orleans were on regularly scheduled deployments to the U.S. 5th Fleet Area of Operations conducting maritime security operations (MSO) when the accident occurred.

Where is MoveOn.org in holding Obama's feet to the fire when it comes to the Middle East...it was a CRIME for George W. Bush TO NATION BUILD, but fine if Obama starts killing our troops in the same of the exact same strategy.

Many Groups Including MoveOn.org Selling Souls To Be Obamaniacs

Hello...remember BRING OUR TROOPS HOME? Remember our backing President Obama because he promised to have our troops home within 18 months. Instead, we have seen Barack Obama selling out to the Military Machine, are watching as he commits us to ANOTHER WAR in the name of Democracy building...does that sound familier? So the question is, where are the BIG PLAYERS in the Anti War Movement? They are embarassing SILENT, more interested in paying lip service to Obama's anal cavity that standing up for their beliefs, in holding Obama to his promise of bring our troops home.

Moveon.org...seems their members have abandoned the War Effort, focusing instead of Socialist Medicine for 12-25 Million Illegal Aliens and their 4.5 million anchor babies. Their morally bankrupt and corrupted members were recently polled on their priorities for 2009, and Afghanistan didn’t make the cut. The fact that their MESSIAH is merely moving troops from one theatre too another is no concern to them, worries about Depleted Uranium poisoning Americans soldiers and civilians alike no longer an issue as they sell their souls to ride in the Obama Bus.

United for Change, spent $600,000 on TV ads against the Iraq War in the summer of 2007. “Americans United for Change doesn’t plan to comment on President Obama’s new strategy,” a spokesperson for the group, Lauren Weiner, has said. Care to share with us why that is Ms. Lauren...is it true that Obama said pretty please when he asked you to sit on your powder?

Jon Soltz, head of VoteVets came out in support of Obama’s Afghan strategy.

Curious MoveOn.org, United for Change...How fast will the body bags have to start stacking up for you to speak up against Obama the War Hawk?

HOME OF LIAR AND THIEF

You Mr, Obama are a scurvy FUCK TURD...no, that is too good for some low life despicable pernicous assed son of a fucking bitch who PROMISES TRANSPARANCY, then stacks the DECK at your Internet Town Hall....GOD, you DISGUST ME YOU SLIME ASSED EEL....go crawl back into whatever BLACK HOLE you came from! No, not being RACIST, calling you out for the lying piece of shit scum that you are! George Bush stacked his TOWN HALLS, and now it seems as if you crawled right out of his nut sack to continue the tradition.

CHANGE? Your Iraq and Afghanistan strategies are GEORGE BUSH's but why should that really surprise us, you kept his military piss ant Mr. GATE's. If America's 18-40 year olds are reading this post...DO NOT ENLIST...a police action in Afghanistan is NOT WORTH DYING FOR, a college education not worth risking your life over. NO RECRUITS, HE HAS TO PULL THE PLUG. NO VOLUNTEERS FOR HIS VOLUNTEER (FREE LABOR) PROGRAMS, and he'll have to negotiate with Main Street Americans...tell us Mr. OBama....HOW MANY OF YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE DIED FOR AMERICA?

Illlegal Aliens...after you finished tongue sucking the ASS HOLE of both La Raza and MALDEF you kiss John McCain full on the lips and let him slip his AMNESTY POLICY straight UP YOUR ASS so you could spit it out your mouth as your own, marching Eric Holder, Janet Napolitano and Speaker of the House Pelosi out like good SS Generals to inform the uncleaned WHITE MASSES that there would be no Work Place Enforcements. Where is our fence, where is E Verify? We have 12.5 Million LEGAL AMERICANS OUT OF WORK, while you have your thumb up your ass, a smile on your face as you shake hands of every Illegal Alien as they cross the border to steal our jobs...FUCK YOU!

Curious here Mr. Obama...how can someone who is suddenly becoming as VILE AS HITLER EVER WAS live with himself, how can you look your own little girls in the eye over morning breakfast? If there is an Anti Christ, you seem to be vying for the job. I hope my words DO HURT Mr. OBAMA...maybe you need to truly UNDERSTAND MAIN STREET ANGER, need to hear from REAL FUCKING AMERICANS instead of surrounding yourself with your BEAUTIFUL SPECIALLY GROOMED SUPPORTERS as you HOLD FAKE INTERNET TOWN HALLS.

One last thing...your BOOMER Volunteer Program...FUCK YOUR SLAVE WAGES attempt at Slave Labor camps for Senior Citizens...if I wanted that, I could move to China and live under the Repressive Rule of President Hu. TWO TRILLION DOLLARS FOR CROOKS, but you want Baby Boomers to stay active BY TEACHING FOR TWO DOLLARS AN HOUR...DOUBLE TRIPLE FUCK YOU SIR! Do us a favor...PAY BACK ALL THE FUCKING MONEY SCUM LIKE YOURSELF STOLE FROM THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO WE CAN RETIRE ON TIME. GO TEACH FIRST GRADERS YOURSELF! We are not going to be part of a LYING FAKER's ALL VOLUNTEER EFFORT TO SAVE AMERICA!

Barack Obama

Obama Town Hall Questioners Were Campaign Backers

Updated 7:02 p.m.
By Garance Franke-Ruta
President Obama has promised to change the way the government does business, but in at least one respect he is taking a page from the Bush playbook, stocking his town hall Thursday with supporters whose soft -- though far from planted -- questions provided openings to discuss his preferred message of the day.

Obama has said, "I think it's important to engage your critics ... because not only will you occasionally change their mind but, more importantly, sometimes they will change your mind," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs recounted to The Post's Lois Romano in an interview Wednesday.

But while the online question portion of the White House town hall was open to any member of the public with an Internet connection, the five fully identified questioners called on randomly by the president in the East Room were anything but a diverse lot. They included: a member of the pro-Obama Service Employees International Union, a member of the Democratic National Committee who campaigned for Obama among Hispanics during the primary; a former Democratic candidate for Virginia state delegate who endorsed Obama last fall in an op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star; and a Virginia businessman who was a donor to Obama's campaign in 2008.

Here are their stories:

1. Sergio Salmeron: Self-description at the White House: "My name is Sergio Salmeron. I want to find out about health care."

Salmeron became engaged with the Obama campaign early in 2008, writing on his blog at my.barackobama.com, "We need to mobilize towards changing the trend of '2 to 1 Latinos favoring Hillary over Barack.' Let's make a resolute commitment... Let's put the facts on the table, ask the questions, until we understand how this all applies to us. Then strategize [sic] to get the word out to Latinos in America, who want change as much as everyone else."

He was a volunteer canvasser for the campaign, he told The Post, and did voter registration work and translated materials for the campaign, as well. A partner at Global Paradigm Strategies, Salmeron is volunteer "member of the Democratic National Committee" and continues to be active with the Obama campaign's successor, Organizing for America, which is how he got the White House invite, he said.

"I got a call from this woman who has been working with me for the pledge drive," he said, referring to the Organizing for America drive on behalf of the president's budget proposal. "You know, we're trying to get support out for the president's agenda."

2. Tom Sawner: Self-description: "Sir, I'm Tom Sawner. I'm a service-disabled veteran, small-business owner in Arlington, Virginia. My company, Educational Options, works with public schools."

According to Federal Election Commission records, Sawner made a $250 donation to Obama's campaign on Oct. 27, 2008. He also, as he noted Thursday, served as an adviser on Obama's educational platform committee. He said he was invited to the White House town hall through the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Executive Council.

Sawner's no stranger to the White House, either; he attended President Bush's Feb. 2008 signing ceremony for that year's economic stimulus package -- another Chamber of Commerce invite. And in April 2008, he even became an anecdote in one of Bush's speeches.

"And I met a guy named Tom Sawner," the 43rd president said at a small business summit. "Now, he's an old fighter pilot, which means there's no wall he can [sic] run through. He's a doer, an achiever, and he's got him a small business called Educational Options."

But the event with Obama, Sawner said, "was a whole different look and feel" than the one with Bush. "This is a president who is into openness." And he didn't know he was going to be able to ask a question until he got to the forum, he said.

3. Carlos Del Toro: Self-description: "My name is Carlos Del Toro. I served in the Navy for 26 years, retired four years ago, and started a small business."

In 2007, Del Toro stood as a Democratic candidate for the Virginia House of Delegates, but did not win. A supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Democratic presidential primaries, he backed Obama against McCain in the general, endorsing him in an Oct. 24, 2008 op-ed in the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star.

"As a Virginia small-business owner, veteran, and Latino, I'm voting for Sen. Barack Obama for the same reasons as millions of other Americans: because I believe this country desperately needs change. Obama will change our economic policies to help middle-class families, promote the growth of small businesses, and increase funding for veterans' affairs, so no member of our armed services goes without the medical treatment he or she needs and deserves," he wrote.

In 2008, he donated $2,750 to Virginia Democratic candidates for office, according to the Center for Responsive Politics; in 2006, he gave $1000 to the campaign of now Sen. Jim Webb (Va.), FEC records show.

He also has ties to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Council.

4. Linda Bock: "My name is Linda Bock and I'm a registered nurse just in Prince George's County, Maryland -- been there 34 years at a free senior health center. And I'm here with my fellow nurses from SEIU."

Bock, along with her chapter of the SEIU and her son and daughter, helped campaign and canvass for Obama, she said. After Obama was elected, she wrote in the Landover, Md., 1199 SEIU nurses' newsletter: "Now we have our work cut out for us -to hold our elected officials accountable. And I hope they hold us accountable too. We all have work to do to make the changes needed to restore our reputation, to heal the wounds of war, to repair our earth and regulate its resources; and, to secure our economic future. It will take sacrifice and service. It will take prayer and the grace of God. Now we have hope. We have President-elect Barack Obama. God bless America."

Her invite to the White House came through the Nurse Alliance Leadership Council, she said. And like Sawner, she didn't know until she got to the forum that it was open to the in real life participants. "I did not think we would be able to ask any questions," she said. "I wasn't personally anticipating being chosen to ask anything. We knew that the Web portion was people already lined up."

5. Bonnee L. Breese: "Hi, Mr. President. Thank you so very much for having me, a public school teacher from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, here to be with you.
THE PRESIDENT: What's your name?
Q Bonnee Breese.
THE PRESIDENT: Good to see you, Bonnee.
Q Thank you. I'm from Overbrook High School. I have to say that, because I know all the children are watching. (Laughter.)"

Breese has not donated a reportable amount to Obama, according to the FEC. She is a member of the 11,626-person Pennsylvania for Obama page on Facebook.

A supporter of the president's -- "Of course!" she said -- Breese was invited to the meeting through the American Federation of Teachers union. She sits on the executive board of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers, Local 3, she said, and is known in her area for being politically engaged.

The sixth in-person presidential questioner, "Ellie" from Maryland, did not give her surname. The White House did not respond to a request for it, but noted there were roughly 100 people in the audience.

"The audience was composed of approximately 100 people, including teachers, nurses, small business owners, and community leaders -- and the virtual audience of thousands across the country who have submitted questions online," said White House spokesman Nicholas S. Shapiro. "The White House reached out to a number of community groups and the chamber of commerce and those groups invited their folks to come and participate."

According to an article on the National Terrorist Watch web site, a report titled “The Modern Militia Movement,” a report by the Pro Illegal Alien Amnesty Group, "Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC)" you are considered belonging to a Para Military (in short, all but a renegade terrorist) Organization if you are A) Pro Life, B) voted for or supported Ron Paul, or C) embrace the Border Security, Work Place Enforcement Agenda of Tm Tancredo. This is just a partial list. Below I have pasted the original article in full, then copied it a second time with my commentary in RED.

Anti American MIAC Rant

If you’re an anti-abortion activist, or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate or a certain Republican member of Congress, if you possess subversive literature, you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group.

That’s according to “The Modern Militia Movement,” a report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities.

“Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for militia activity has been created,” the Feb. 20 report reads. “Unemployment rates are high, as well as costs of living expenses. Additionally, President Elect Barrack [sic] Obama is seen as tight on gun control and many extremists fear that he will enact firearms confiscations.”

MIAC is one of 58 so-called “fusion centers” nationwide that were created by the Department of Homeland Security, in part, to collect local intelligence that authorities can use to combat terrorism and related criminal activities. More than $254 million from fiscal years 2004-2007 went to state and local governments to support the fusion centers, according to the DHS Web site.

During a press conference last week in Kansas City, Mo., DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano called fusion centers the “centerpiece of state, local, federal intelligence-sharing” in the future.

“Let us not forget the reason we are here, the reason we have the Department of Homeland Security and the reason we now have fusion centers, which is a relatively new concept, is because we did not have the capacity as a country to connect the dots on isolated bits of intelligence prior to 9/11,” Napolitano said, according to a DHS transcript.

“That’s why we started this…. Now we know that it’s not just the 9/11-type incidents but many, many other types of incidents that we can benefit from having fusion centers that share information and product and analysis upwards and horizontally.”

But some say the fusion centers are going too far in whom they identify as potential threats to American security.

My Rebuttal In Red

With all due respect, I have to take great umbrage with this article on numerous levels. First and foremost, let us be clear...this message is aimed squarely at EVERY AMERICAN that opposes Obama's plan to grant Amnesty to 12-25 Million Illegal Aliens. We have 12.5 million LEGAL AMERICANS out of work here in America while over 7 million illegal aliens still have jobs, and because I dare to speak up, I dare to demand LAW ENFORCEMENT instead of appeasement, I am now labled a TERRORIST? Lets disect this disturbing piece of Propaganda that you have seen fit to publish here:

If you’re an anti-abortion activist (I am Pro-Choice, but am very disturbed that someone, who for religious beliefs happens to be Pro-Life is now seen as being a part of a para-military unit...is the Liberal Left planning on declaring war on these people, or is this the first step in having them categorized as terrorist?) , or if you display political paraphernalia supporting a third-party candidate (HMMMMM...Like Ron Paul? ) or a certain Republican member of Congress (Tom Tancredo), if you possess subversive literature (you mean like my various and assorted packets of Anti Nuclear pamphlets...my wife's nuclear reactor caused breast cancer is enough of a reason for me to be ANTI NUCLEAR?), you very well might be a member of a domestic paramilitary group. ODD...no mention of Mexican Drug Gangs, no mention of 12-25 million illegal aliens, but GOD FORBID we do not keep and eye on those Pro-Life, Ron Paul voting radicals?

That’s according to “The Modern Militia Movement,” a report by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC), a government collective that identifies the warning signs of potential domestic terrorists for law enforcement communities. (Curious here...have you bothered to look at the connections this group has to LaRaza, to MALDEF? Have you bothered to look at their VERY PRO ILLEGAL AMNESTY AGENDA...just mere chance that they are targeting as Para Military nut cases some of the very groups that might OPPOSE AMNESTY in a deliberate attempt to use fear to silence our voices just before the GREAT AMNESTY FIGHT begins in Congress.)

“Due to the current economical and political situation, a lush environment for militia activity has been created,” the Feb. 20 report reads. “Unemployment rates are high, as well as costs of living expenses. Additionally, President Elect Barrack [sic] Obama is seen as tight on gun control and many extremists fear that he will enact firearms confiscations.” (The report telegraphs its true intentions...Lush environment for militia activity...as in Border Watches on the part of private citizens just when more Illegal Aliens in large numbers are wanting to get in on Obama's AMNESTY? Unemployment rates are high...and we do not want Obama using work place enforcement or trying to find any of the 7.5 million illegal aliens that have AMERICAN JOBS when 12.5 Million Americans are out of work, having trouble paying their bills, feeding their children....you Department of Homeland Security Folks need to be keeping your eyes on those GUN TOOTING MAIN STREET AMERICANS right now...just ignore us Illegal Aliens coming across your Southern Border in record numbers.)

MIAC is one of 58 so-called “fusion centers” nationwide that were created by the Department of Homeland Security, in part, to collect local intelligence that authorities can use to combat terrorism and related criminal activities. More than $254 million from fiscal years 2004-2007 went to state and local governments to support the fusion centers, according to the DHS Web site. (If this report is any example of WHAT WE GOT FOR OUR MONEY, it was a waste of our tax dollars...what are the groups that got this money, and what is their local POLITICAL AGENDA AND AFFILIATION?)

During a press conference last week in Kansas City, Mo., DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano called fusion centers the “centerpiece of state, local, federal intelligence-sharing” in the future.(Follow me closely now folks...This report is so Anti Main Street America, and so Pro Illegal Alien AMNESTY AGENDA it is scary...now, look at the Obama AMNESTY AGENDA. Janet Napolitano does want to do Work Place Enforcement, and wants to solve Mexico's drug problem by taking away our guns. Nancy Pelosi says raids are inhumane. and our immigration laws UNJUST. Obama himself said E Verify should not be included in the stimulus bill as it would cost too many illegal aliens their jobs. WAKE UP AMERICA before your Democracy is gone.)

“Let us not forget the reason we are here, the reason we have the Department of Homeland Security and the reason we now have fusion centers, which is a relatively new concept, is because we did not have the capacity as a country to connect the dots on isolated bits of intelligence prior to 9/11,” Napolitano said, according to a DHS transcript. (Nancy, connecting the dots is fine, but useless if you cannot COUNT...your grasp of intelligence (or lack there of) scares me...do you love illegal aliens that much, or instead or you such an intellectual arrogant that you despise us on Main Street enough to label us terrorists?)

“That’s why we started this…. Now we know that it’s not just the 9/11-type incidents but many, many other types of incidents that we can benefit from having fusion centers that share information and product and analysis upwards and horizontally.” (She makes the onset of Gestapo Like citizens spying on citizens, Communist Red China Human Rights Violations Agenda sound so...CLINICAL.)

But some say the fusion centers are going too far in whom they identify as potential threats to American security. (TALK ABOUT AN UNDERSTATEMENT! )

I have posted your message on ALIPAC, and will be posting it as well on other Main Street American sites. It is my fear that you will censor this response, and so will post it and your original post to my http://washingtonscandal.blogspot.com/ blog. As someone that has put your widget up on numerous sites, have to admit my dissappointment in finding this article displayed here.

ALL BIAS LOTS OF BULL-MIAC-KNOW THINE BIGOTS (Tell me MIAC, does this post get me placed on your Para Military Terrorist Watch List?...Maybe you should look at my ANTI NUCLEAR SITES, Green Nuclear Underground and Green Nuclear Butterfly. If these two RADICAL sites are not enough, maybe you should try my Washington Scandal site. In case you have not guessed there MIAC, I am not a big one for being POLITICALLY CORRECT, prefer to be as subtle as a bag of quarters in a street brawl">

The Minority Institution Astrobiology Collaborative is a virtual collaboration of faculty and students from minority institutions and organizations focused on achieving common educational and research goals in astrobiology.
The purpose of forming MIAC was to bring together individuals who share an interest in making significant contributions to the field of Astrobiology in both research and education. The importance of astrobiology as an interdisciplinary science is in its focus on some of the most important questions in the history of science. The multidisciplinary nature of this important field of science is the ideal climate for developing a collaborative group that would encourage national and international partnerships with minority institutions.

Goals

Building a successful model for collaborations among scientists and educators at minority institutions (MIs) that will result in funded astrobiology research, peer-reviewed publications, and shared resources that benefit minority students.
Developing astrobiology course work and educational outreach that will attract significant numbers of minority students into the field of astrobiology
Creating research opportunities in astrobiology for minority students at minority institutions that result in student presentations and publications in astrobiology
Developing an infrastructure that will lead to inclusion of members on NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) Teams.

A cursory Google Search, and a check of the Fifth Fleets Bahrain Web Site makes it abundantly clear that the Navy and its Nuclear Submarine people are DESPARATELY trying to keep the world from knowing just how much damage was done to the USS New Orleans and the Submarine, the USS Hartford. Two pictures (supposedly the USS New Orleans) are very obvious PROPAGANDA PIECES meant to present a BUSINESS AS USUAL, nothing is wrong appearance to the citizens of America. Oddly, the Fifth Fleet released NO PICTURES of the USS Hartford Fast Attack Nuclear Sub docking, or coming into port. It is this author's belief that the submarine's mast has suffered SIGNIFICANT damage. In other news...the old no harm no foul, we saw no DIESEL FUEL excuse has also been trotted out...that's right Commander Propaganda, 25,000 gallons of diesel just VANISHED! Where does a citizen file a complaint at? Do not believe that NUCLEAR REACTOR was not damaged until Congress conducts a FULL AND COMPLETE INDEPENDENT investigation...if the USS Hartford was NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED, where are the photographs?

Well Well Well...HIDDEN on a MARINE website, a picture of the DAMAGE, or at least a TARP (as in Wall Street) covering the NAVAL NUCLEAR MISTAKE!

Hartford suffered “visible” damage to the sail and to a bow plane. Campbell could not say if components of the sail such as masts and periscopes are damaged.

“It’s important to point out that Hartford’s [nuclear] power plant was not affected in this at all,” she said. “We’ll be doing a full incident investigation report as well as a [Judge Advocate General’s Manual] investigation.” No DAMAGE, LET IAEA do independent verification. How about Union of Concerned Scientist? Mother's For Peace? By the way, isn't this the THIRD SUCH COLLISION RECENTLY? Yet no ADMIRALS have tenured their resignations out of SHAME?

This is third recent collision involving a U.S. submarine in the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Release #049-09

USS Hartford and USS New Orleans Arrive In Port Bahrain

From Commander, U.S. 5th Fleet Public Affairs

MANAMA, Bahrain – The U.S. Navy submarine and U.S. amphibious ship that collided in the Strait of Hormuz March 20, arrived in port Bahrain today.

USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS New Orleans (LPD 18) arrived at Mina Salman pier to further assess and evaluate the damage that resulted from their collision at sea.

The incident remains under investigation.

Overall damage to both ships is being evaluated. The propulsion plant of the submarine was unaffected by this collision. New Orleans suffered a ruptured fuel tank, which resulted in a fuel spill of approximately 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel marine in the Strait of Hormuz.

Aerial searches of the area where the fuel spill occurred were conducted yesterday, and revealed no indication of any remaining fuel on the ocean’s surface.

The U.S. 5th Fleet has been working in coordination with the Navy Oceanographic Office to determine refined search areas, based on currents and winds. Additional searches were flown by U.S. Navy aircraft today and found no remaining fuel on the surface.

The quick dissipation of the fuel is likely due to the type of fuel, and various environmental factors to include air and water temperatures, winds and seas.

Both Hartford and New Orleans are currently on regularly scheduled deployments to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations conducting Maritime Security Operations (MSO).

MSO set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment as well as complement the counter-terrorism and security efforts of regional nations. MSO deny international terrorists use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons, or other material.

OK...with the over night accident in the Straight of Hormuz where a Nuclear Attack Submarine almost sank one of our own ships, its time to demand the resignation of Admiral Kirkland Donald because of his FAILED LEADERSHIP. This is one too many NUCLEAR SUB accidents, and we as a nation cannot wait for a MAJOR breach of a on board reactor to ask Admiral Kirkland Donald to step down...maybe he can replace Admiral Skip Bowman at NEI...they seem to like inept, even dishonest leadership. Naval Reactors Leadership

A US Navy submarine and a US amphibious vessel collided in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday slightly injuring 15 sailors and creating a fuel spill of around 25,000 gallons, the US Navy said.

"The collision between USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS New Orleans (LPD 18) occurred at approximately 1:00 am local time (2030 GMT on Thursday)," the Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet said. "Fifteen sailors aboard the Hartford were slightly injured and returned to duty. No personnel aboard New Orleans were injured," it added.

"The collision between USS Hartford (SSN 768) and USS New Orleans (LPD 18) occurred at approximately 1:00 am local time (2030 GMT on Thursday)," the Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet said. "Fifteen sailors aboard the Hartford were slightly injured and returned to duty. No personnel aboard New Orleans were injured," it added.

The New Orleans' fuel tank ruptured, causing the spill of diesel fuel. Both ships are operating under their own power, and the overall damage to both vessels is being evaluated, the statement added.

The Strait of Hormuz separates Oman from Iran and is the gateway into the oil-rich Gulf. An estimated 40 percent of the world's crude oil passes through the strait on the way to market. Both the submarine and the ship are on regularly scheduled deployments to the US Navy Central Command area of responsibility, the navy said.

Ships from the Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, patrol a 7.5 million square mile (19.4 million square kilometer) area of eastern Africa, the Middle East and Southwest Asia.

A nuclear submarine was damaged in a collision with another U.S. Navy vessel off the coast of Iran early Friday, leaving 15 U.S. sailors injured and 25,000 gallons of fuel spilling into the Strait of Hormuz.

The USS Hartford, a nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine, was fully submerged Friday when it collided with the transport ship the USS New Orleans, according to a Navy official in the 5th Fleet. Seas were calm but visibility was low as the incident occurred around 1:00 a.m. local time.

No official reason has been given for the accident but a Defense Department official told FOX News that "it appears the two vessels were not in communication before they collided."

Fifteen sailors aboard the Hartford were slightly injured but able to return to duty. No injuries were reported aboard the New Orleans, according to the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. It was the Los Angeles-class submarine's first deployment.
