Major Ships Have Deserted Atlantic Ocean For First Time In History

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

A very alarming Ministry of Defense (MoD) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that Federation Naval Forces reported yesterday that the entire Atlantic Ocean has been totally deserted of major freighter ships—an occurrence this report states has never been seen in all of modern recorded history.

According to this report, this stunning information about the Atlantic Ocean now being abandoned by major shipping vessels was contained in the classified section(s) of the Northern Fleet’s report to the MoD of its ability to conduct operations in different regions during 2016.

Of the ships most noted in this report to now be missing from the Atlantic Ocean, this report continues, are Panamax and New Panamax vessels along with every type of wet carrier (oil/liquefied natural gas) vessels including VLCC and ULCC supertankers.

Secondary confirmation of this stunning occurrence, this report notes, was obtained by Northern Fleet analysts tracking INTTRA’s 220,000 ocean shipping database and the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) crashing to a new all-time low—and which caused Germany’s Deutsche Bank to warn yesterday that a “perfect storm was coming”.

This report explains that the INTTRA portal allows shippers, consignees and forwarders access to multiple carriers through a single site and allow users to communicate with their carriers and is, in many respects, a shipping portal to the maritime industry what a global distribution system (GDS) is to the airline industry—while the BDI is the global index that provides an assessment of the price of moving major raw materials by sea and takes in 23 shipping routes measured on a timecharter basis and covers Handysize, Supramax, Panamax, and Capesize dry bulk carriers carrying a range of commodities including coal, iron ore and grain.

The combination of these major ships having deserted the Atlantic Ocean and the crashing of the BDI, this report further explains, is a “clear and potent” signal of a coming Western economic/banking collapse as was evidenced in the 2007-2008 Crisis that was the last time these two factors accurately indicated what was coming—and has, likewise, led to all of the world’s stock markets crashing during the first week of this new year.

Further confirmation of this historic abandoning of the Atlantic Ocean, this report says, was noted this past November when an over two mile line of oil tanker vessels were reported to be sitting off the Gulf of Mexico coast of Galveston, Texas, due to their being no place to offload their ships—and has reached such a critical proportion that other oil tankers in route to the US were forced three weeks ago to turn around in the Atlantic Ocean as there was no longer any more room left for their cargo either.

Grimly though, this report further notes, as the world’s major shipping vessels have now abandoned the Atlantic Ocean, the same cannot be said of the Obama regimes United States Navy (USN) whose Lewis and Clark class cargo ships are continuing their non-stop armament shipments to Saudi Arabia—where the bulk of these weapons and ammunition shipments end up the hands of Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh) terrorists operating the Levant War Zone.

As to why the Obama regime is continuing to arm these Islamic State terrorists through USN weapons shipments to Saudi Arabia, this report questions, is “beyond understanding”—including to former President Ronald Reagan top official David Stockman, who in his research article yesterday titled Enough Already! It’s Time To Send The Despicable House Of Saud To The Dustbin Of History bluntly stated:

“ ...for more than four decades Washington’s middle eastern policy has been dead wrong and increasingly counter-productive and destructive. The crisis provoked this past weekend by the 30-year old hot-headed Saudi prince, who is son of the King and heir to the throne, only clarified what has long been true.

That is, Washington’s Mideast policy is predicated on the assumption that the answer to high oil prices and energy security is deployment of the Fifth Fleet to the Persian Gulf. And that an associated alliance with one of the most corrupt, despotic, avaricious and benighted tyrannies in the modern world is the lynch pin to regional stability and US national security.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The House of Saud is a scourge on mankind that would have been eliminated decades ago, save for Imperial Washington’s deplorable coddling and massive transfer of arms and political support.”

To the American people being allowed by the Obama regime and its mainstream “presstitute” news services to know of this grave occurrence in the Atlantic Ocean, this report concludes, appears, like always, to not be the case as this government would rather see these once great people alarmed and confused rather than trusting them with true facts so that at least some of them may be able to prepare themselves for the storms that are soon to come.

Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society

Aristotle

THIS IS A  MUST READ FOR EVERY AMERICAN

As the Supreme Court heard arguments for and against the Chicago, IL Gun Ban, this man offered you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun  means to a civilized society.

Interesting take and one you don’t hear much. . . pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter...

“The Gun Is Civilization" by Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force.

If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force.  Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception.

Reason or force, that's it. In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.

The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunken guys with baseball bats.

The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.

There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for an armed mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat--it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.

People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.

Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways.  Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically

superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.

People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force, watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.

The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an

octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.

When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation… and that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

By

Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)

So, the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced.

NOW PASS THISON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS  & ENEMIES

Ramey comments:

History shows us --- if we have eyes to see and/or ears to hear --- that gun confiscation precedes genocide.  Common sense should show us --- provided we have common sense --- that guns are not the problem but rather those who advocate gathering them up are.  Those have proceeded to kill millions as soon as those millions were disarmed.

It would seem that all the anti-gun rhetoric is predicated on scenarios contrived by the government for the purpose of outlawing guns --- whether it be the Hollyweird theatrics of Tucson or Sandy Hook or the various gov't sponsored bombings and shootings around the country.

America is facing a real threat today which few realize the depth of. This is Islamic terrorists whose organization was created by our own president and he continues to fund and arm them.  This is now known by the whole world with the exception of Americans whose heads are buried in the sand of CNN, ABC, NBC and FOXX.  Now Trump is starting to panic the liberals by showing this indisputably to America.

Hillary now says she is just going to ignore him.  No doubt she hopes the rest of Americans will follow suite.

This is our oval office occupant's last year to complete his mission of the complete and total destruction of America.  Will he achieve it?  I believe he will.  Are we seeing what is happening worldwide as the politicians and media dither?  The Pacific Ocean is a gigantic bowl of nuclear soup.  Now the Atlantic is being abandoned as a shipping lane.  Damascus is rapidly becoming a "...ruinous heap", and Israel is approaching it's final days.  Japan and China just dumped another 80 billion dollars on the market and this brings the hyperinflation of post war Germany even closer to our doorstep.

None of us, other than the secret societies and those who call them-selves the "elite", look forward to war.  But it is coming, by design, and this war will end war for 1,000 years (See Rev 20).

Unprecedented Catastrophe Underway Near Los Angeles, California - Why Haven't We Heard About This From The Mainstream Media?

By Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The story over at ENENews tells us about the largest gas leak ever recorded, equivalent to the strength of a volcanic eruption, and according to one expert, "It's so far above and beyond what I've ever seen." Telling us that what we're now watching unfolding in Los Angeles (with barely a peep from the mainstream media!!!) is 'potentially devastating on a planetary scale', we're also told we're watching a disaster unfolding in slow motion that may take up to 4 months or more to stop and is leaving thousands of Californians suffering nosebleeds and vomiting according to this story.

Being called the biggest environmental disaster since the 2010 BP oil spill, activist Erin Brockovich joins Democracy Now in the 2nd video below to talk about this unbelievable mess that has left one California city a 'ghost town' as shared in the 3rd video below while in the 1st video below, we hear the warning from a medical doctor, "if you're in the area, get out now!"

First, from Erin Brockovich.:

Southern California Gas Co., or SoCalGas, has essentially ignored the impact to victims and its actions have instead added to their suffering. The company has refused to release air quality data that could be used to protect its residents, it has made relocation very difficult, and it has forged ahead with plans to expand its facility before the leak has even been contained.

The enormity of the Aliso Canyon gas leak cannot be overstated. Gas is escaping through a ruptured pipe more than 8,000 feet underground, and it shows no sign of stopping. As the pressure from weight on top of the pipe causes the gas to diffuse, it only continues to dissipate across a wider and wider area. According to tests conducted in November by the California Air Resources Board, the leak is spewing 50,000 kilograms of gas per hour — the equivalent to the strength of a volcanic eruption.

At this rate, in just one month, the leak will have accounted for one-quarter of the total estimated methane emissions in the state of California.

We also can take a look at the real-time impact of the Aliso Canyon methane leak in the interactive chart below which shows us the amount of CO2 being released into the air and how that compares to gasoline and US dollars. As of this moment, over 78,000 metric tons of methane has escaped since October 23, 2015. as Brockovich tells us, in just one month, this leak has accounted for 1/4 of the TOTAL estimated methane emissions in the entire state. What kind of damage is this doing to our atmosphere every moment of the day? As we've been told, it is an unprecedented catastrophe.

From the Independent.:

Video has revealed the extent of a methane gas leak in Los Angeles, after infrared footage emerged showing a billowing cloud of the gas, invisible to the naked eye.

Copious amounts of black smoke can be seen pouring into the sky after a rupture occurred within a large underground containment system in California.

Reportedly over 150 million pounds of methane have already poured into the atmosphere due to the Aliso Canyon leak, with no foreseeable end to the hazard.

With the mainstream news media giving very little attention to this massive and still unfolding disaster, ENENews also told us today that according to doctors in the region, 'very unusual infections' are now being reported as doctors also warn those who live in the vicinity: "If you're able to leave do it now. I'm telling you, it's really critical." You can hear more about that warning in the 1st video below.

We're also told this methane leak is a national disaster as the plume is already spreading farther away than just the L.A. area. "We're a science experiment" said one area mother with children who are now suffering from nauseousness, lethargy, nosebleeds and more. Interestingly enough, officials are trying now to convince everybody in the region that 'it's all in their heads'...that's right, the nosebleeds, nausea, lethargy...all in the residents' heads. This story also proves to us that not all Americans are falling for that constant load of official government lies.:

Dr. Brooks Michaels: “The defense is capitalizing on the comment that it’s all in your head. Let me clarify a little bit – it’s in your head, it’s in your ears, it’s in your nose, it’s in your throat, and it’s in your chest… We’re seeing asthma increases, we’re seeing people who are using inhalers more often, primarily a lot of respiratory problems… If you have a chance to leave, if you’re able to leave… if you have a chance to relocate, do it now. I’m telling you, it’s really critical. It’s what we don’t know, more than what we do know… A lot of information will be coming out soon about what the chemical carbons are that are so volatile… It’s unbelievable when you see the quantity that’s there that is coming out… What I see in the field is the effect of that. Primarily pulmonary, people will bleed from their nose. It’s not of course just a pediatric problem, it affects all of us.”

Ramey comments:

Well the MSM finally weighed in on this.  I saw it on the NBC news last night.  After 4 months of this leak putting 7600 tons/day of methane into the Calif atmosphere, they finally deem it newsworthy.
