  • Look at my BIG feet! Woof!
Is there any validity to the following?
It has been circulating via many emails I have been receiving lately. I have traveling a lot lately and am a little burnt from the long hours.

Input?

US Orders Blackout over North Korean Torpedoing of Gulf of Mexico Oil Rig 

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers 

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.

50,000 extra N Korean troops deployed along border



SEOUL, May 5 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has recently deployed about 50,000 special forces along its border with South Korea, a source here said Wednesday, as tension rises on the divided peninsula over a suspected deadly North Korean attack on a South Korean warship.

"North Korea recently completed the frontline deployment of seven light infantry divisions, which is something it had been pushing for since two to three years ago," the high-level source said, adding each division consists of about 7,000 troops.

Now, how would North Korea end up in the Gulf of Mexico. That's quite a travel from North Korea to Mississippi Delta.

Not really.  The ChiComs own both ends of the Canal now...along with most of the Canal Zone.  To the point that ChiCom troops have conducted training missions at our old installations.

Slip a NoKo sub through the canal at night...let it dock at a Cuban Naval base...there you go.

Something like a deilberate attack on an oil platform would explain the Obama soundbite last week that he was sending Swat Teams out to the platforms.

That SWAT team comment really made no sense, unless he had information that it was not an accident.  Strangely, that hasn't been covered by the news .

It really made no sense since he said the Department of the Interior was the one sending the teams.

WTF???

Mark Levin said on his Thursday show last week that in his opinion they are on the platforms seizing doccuments...that this is the first step in the Obama Administration's move to Nationalize the oil companies.

Either way...subs or seizures...it's frightening to think about and maddening at the same time that the media isn't doing their job in finding out what the hell is going on.

Getting a diesel boat all the way across the Pacific and sneaking through the canal with it, even with the covert help of the canal operator, is a whole lot more difficult than you think.  We have assets all over Panama, and nothing goes through it unsurveilled, not even counting the sats.  The locks are far too shallow for a sub to go through submerged.

At the risk of sounding tinfoil-ish...do you really think this administration is looking that closely at what the ChiComs and North Korea are doing these days?  And even if they did...just turn a blind eye to it?

As someone pointed out in another context yesterday on television (to some idiot who was crowing about how wonderful the government was with Obama in charge vs. how bad it was under Bush, in fact), it's the same govenment and intelligence organizations that we had before the election, but just with new figureheads.  Granted the new ones all have their own pet rocks like teh Ghey DOD, wimmin on subs, and 'Dialog' with Iran, but all the operators and agencies are still doing essentially the same stuff.

Wouldn't that be another 50K troops.

It's not like the NK border isn't already fairly heavily loaded with combat assets.

I am thoroughly convinced that this story is a hoax, nonetheless, there are scenario elements in this fiction that are not beyond the bounds of possibility. For one thing, north Korean special operations mini-subs are transportable by surface ship of appropriate size and structure, of which the north Korean 'merchant fleet' has several that could (emphasize theoretical potential) be used for long-haul movement of a mini-sub & crew. The captured nK mini-sub that I saw in 1997 was of a type suitable only for inserting special troops onto the shore and did not have a torpedo tube; however, both nK navy and the party-directed special operations have either modified, laid new keels or bought small subs capable of firing a compact torpedo...so, such an attack might be possible in the future.

As the north Koreans are generally not keen on port or transit inspections, their long-haul freight ships generally transit from the Pacific to Atlantic via the South African cape route, rather than risk the confines of the Suez or Panama canals. With safe harbors in Angola, Cuba and now Venezuela, nK shipping can operate far from home...nK naval ships are generally equipped or manned for long-range, blue water operations; so what I'm talking about are (allegedly) civilian shipping.

The north Korean regime is both evil and a constant irritant to everyone in the northeastern Pacific Rim, and boldly foolish enough to attempt to make trouble anywhere else in the world the Kim ruling clique thinks it can get away with it.

I'm impressed that everyone in this thread has the right idea about the north Korea...

Loss of the rig itself would have a trivial impact on the economy or availability of oil, the disaster part of this comes in from BP's utter failure to have a working check valve at depth, which is something the Norks couldn't possibly have known would happen.  Leave this stuff for the Troofers.

The wellhead is down about 5 times the crush depth of even the best WWII long-range subs, it would take a true deep-diving submersible or really decent deep ocean robotics operated from a mothership to screw with the well, the Norks just don't have that stuff.  Those Nork 'plastic' subs are really only designed to go deep enough to avoid surface sensor arrays, nothing more.
