THE REGIME DEPLOYS ''MYSTERY SHIPS'' FRAUD IN DESPERATE BID TO WIN PUBLIC SUPPORT

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday February 19, 2003 17:46author by Independent, others Report this post to the editors

''MYSTERY SHIPS'' ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY IMMIGRANT REFUGEE ''ILLEGAL ALIEN'' SMUGGLERS

The Regime is now deploying a media fraud that (without any evidence whatsoever, as usual) claims that 3 "mystery ships" are carrying Iraqi "weapons of mass destruction" around the world. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/politics/story.jsp?story=379623 But a Canadian article suggests they are nothing more than the usual smuggling vessels employed to bring in people from China and other Asian countries. http://canada.com/national/story.asp?id=D11D5E6C-7D0D-4323-8057-A48B6415FF78 To see such ships, view: Chinese Immigrants from Mainland China to Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/asian/FinalAsian/Canada/Thumb/Canada.html click on the thumbnails to see the larger images

The US Admin and UK Admin war-mongers are so desperate to have a war and have consistently
tried to induce fear in their respective populations with almost daily warnings of imminent
terrorist attacks, that it is extremely likely if an attack is not forth-coming, they will
just have to carry out a spectular terrorist attack of their own.

I can just imagine the debate these war-mongers are having: 'Those god-damn terrorists just
won't do what we want them to do, so we will have to do it ourselves!'

Indeed given their history, and particularly the deep and disturbing questions hanging over
Sept 11th 2001, which even superficial analysis shows the US Admin were aware of the attack
and allowed it to happen, combined with declassified information showing that the US Admin
was aware of the Pearl Habour attack, and provoked it so as to justify entering the war.

And recent declassified information regarding the Northwoods Project back in the mid 1960s
which was signed off by the Joint Chief of Staffs and which was a plan by the US Admin to
launch a wave of terrorist attacks on US soil, blame it on the Cubans and use it as a pretext
to start a war with Cuba.

There is every indication, that the people in power have no morals what-so-ever and WILL if they
can get away with it, kill their own citizens to get what they want.

The Canadian article refers to some tiny frieghters running "dark" off the coast. Ships as small as this (300') could conceivably sneak in somewhere and are probably smugglers.

You aren't going to be able to sneak anywhere with a 35-40,000 tonner, certainly not into some quiet fishing port. But I doubt the Iraqis are using them to hide their WMDs. They would surely realize that big ships like these behaving strangely would show up to the "eyes in the skies" (little frieghters might be "tramps" meandering from small harbor to small harbor wherever they can pick up a paying load but expensive leviathons normally speed from point to point on fairly regular routes. Hell, it's not just the military who would notice. You bet all the ocean salvars are keenly aware of any big ship "acting strangely" and not making progress to her next port of call.

I'm sure that these ships (if they exist) are being shadowed. You know, with a freighter of that size you don't need bioweapons or chemical weapons or atomic weapons to be a WMD. Do you know what happened December 6, 1917 in Halifax Nova Scotia? Well the "Mont Blanc" was just a 3000 tonner, less than a tenth the size of these babies.
