Obama Donates 7 Alaskan
Islands to Putin for Zero Dollars
This is what our president Obama has done in 2012
for America so far this year. This was just
sent to me, and got very little press to keep it
unknown from the American public. Please
read the following
to see what is happening. HOW CAN THIS BE
HAPPENING?
Is there a "REST OF THE STORY?"
This article on Feb. 16, 2012 appears in very few
places. Apparently, the regular
"professional reporters" consider Obama giving
away islands belonging to Alaska and part of the
United States as no big
deal. Obama is giving these islands to
Russia for free, no cost, $zero money or any other
consideration. Guess what? The state legislature
in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted
several times in opposition
to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions
of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil
companies lease parts of the islands and start
drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect
Obama was trying to sneak this
by...? Why??
Obama's State Department is giving away seven
strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the
Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the
Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic
Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode
Island and Delaware combined. The Russians
are also to get the tens of thousands of square
miles of oil-rich seabed's surrounding the
islands. The Department of Interior
estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway
in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement
between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly,
our federal government itself drew the line to put
these seven Alaskan
islands on the Russian side, but as an
executive agreement, it could be reversed with the
stroke of a pen by Pres. Obama or Sec.
Clinton. The agreement was negotiated in
total secrecy! The
State of Alaska
was
not allowed to participate in the negotiations,
nor was the public given any opportunity for
comment. This is despite the fact
the Alaskan Legislature has passed resolutions of
opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem
to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include
Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel
became American in 1881 with the landing of the
U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The
landing party included the famed naturalist John
Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named
for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS
Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and
claimed these three islands for the United States.
He
named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York
Citynewspaper publisher James Gordon
Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's
welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded
them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the
Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock
and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the
U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia.
Now is the time for the Obama administration to
stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and
invaluable resources. The State Department's
maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us
nothing in return for
giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and
invaluable resources. We won the Cold War
and should start acting like it. Also see
