Bob Lonsberry: Don't Give Up the Ship
2016-01-20
[NewsRadio WHAM 180] It's unfathomable. The account of two U. S. Navy vessels being seized by the Iranian navy earlier this week seems completely implausible. No part of it makes any sense.

The story is that two river patrol boats -- bristling modern-day incarnations of the Vietnam swift boats -- were navigating south from Kuwait to Bahrain. At some point, via some means, the two boats, with their contingent of five sailors each, surrendered to the Iranians.

Two accounts have been offered as to how that happened. The first was that one of the vessels lost its engine and that they both then drifted into Iranian waters. The other was that the two boats had been operating fine, but inadvertently navigated into Iranian territory.

Simply put, they got lost. Neither account seems possible.
Finally, someone has said in the media what I've been wondering these last couple of days. How on earth did this happen other than someone high up ordered the sailors to surrender and endure humiliation?

#3  IIUC, the US-N-Only-the-US is to be seemingly humiliated or debased on the world stage by POTUS OBama + any similar follow-on Anti-US US POTUS until such time the US is suborned under permanent + irrevocable US-led Anti-US OWG-NWO - WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!?

Lest we fergit, the Globies STILL have N-O-T answered the Maha-RUshuan Questionne' as to HOW MUCH IS "TOO MUCH", + HOW FAR IS "TOO FAR", ETC. for the US to unlaterally voluntarily - BUT OHHH SO PCORRECTLY-DENIABLY - give up post-Cold War/9-11 "Sole" Superpower Power-n-Influence + [self]retreat geopol across the World WIDOUT BEING DEEMED DE FACTO "WEAK/DECLINING" + HENCE WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED BY ANYONE???

* E.G. FREEREPUBLIC, WORLD NEWS > JOE BIDEN: "WE DON'T NEED SOCIALISM".

Officially = "No", Un-Officially = "Yes", espec iff the former "American DReam" is now the "AMerikan Dream" andor "North AMerican/Amerikan Dream" where ordinary or mainstream Americans = Amerikans are all MEXICANS + CANADIANS + GREENLANDERS NOW, IN OWG GLOBALIST NATIONALIST + GEOPOL "PARITY", NOT "INFERIORITY" TO EACH OTHER.

How is Washington going to maintain sovereign Federalist-Nationalist control over a USA formally and firmly suborned under OWG NAU + Related???

Whats that you say - Under OWG + NAU the USA will still be the stronger andor dominating Nation-State widin the NAU Global Federal/Federalist Union? SORRY TO BUST YOUR BUBBLE, BUT THE GLOBIES + ALIGNED HAVE NOT AFFIRMED THIS EITHER.

* 1990'S CLINTONISM > FASCISM = NATIONAL SOCIALISM = AKIN TO MERE "LIMITED" COMMUNISM AKA ANTI-NATIONAL SOCIALISM OR ANTI-NATIONALIST SOCIALISM.

THERE IS NO US-LED PRO-US "NATIONALISM" IN US-LED ANTI-US "GLOBALISM".

#1  Certainly has all the appearances of some sort of purposefully staged rendezvous. But I'll withhold judgement until we hear from Josh Ernest.
