Obama
Donates 7 Alaska Islands to Putin for Zero Dollars
This is what
our beloved 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. Why
is he getting away with all of this?
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?

http://worldnetdaily.com//. 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 Alaska 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 City newspaper 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.
