Friday, January 15, 2016 US Ship Debacle In Persian Gulf... US Radically Changes Its Story Of The Boats In Iranian Waters To An Even More Suspicious Version

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Vatic Note:   I find this report published by The intercept, extremely revealing and it  highlights the two commenters owned by Rothschilds Goldman Sachs, as the shills they are for the khazar bankers.   McCain and Reuters News Service have always defended Rothschilds whenever they get the chance and the lies are obvious from the video done by the Iranians.  I believe Rothschild owns both of them,  McCain and Reuters. 

I was impressed with the weapons found on board as well.   I think they were trying to start WW III, if Iran had handled it any other way…. which the khazars had hoped they would since WW III is becoming further and further away as more and more of the world wakes up.

My final comment is “I agree with Northern Truthseeker about the REASON for all of this happening, was to start WW III and even the reason for wanting to do so in THAT LOCATION WHERE OIL SHIPMENTS MUST NAVIGATE.  Read his note on this after watching the video and reading the two articles.   Its right on.

US Ship Debacle In Persian Gulf… US Radically Changes Its Story Of The Boats In Iranian Waters To An Even More Suspicious Version

By Northern Truth seeker,  January 15, 2016


Everyone by now has heard the tale about the 3 small American naval ships in the Persian Gulf that strangely “went off course” and landed up in Iranian waters… There the boats and the crews were rightfully seized by Iranian authorities due to their trespassing into Iranian territory.. However the Iranians did the right thing in holding them for only a few days and then releasing them back to the American military…

It has been a very strange story and there are many unanswered questions.. I figured that since a lot of people have been asking for my take on the situation, I would give my own two cents worth… But before I give my thoughts about exactly what conspired with this incident, I want to present a new report that comes from The Intercept website, at www.theintercept.com…. This report is entitled: “US Radically Changes Its Story Of The Boats In Iranian Waters To An Even More Suspicious Version”... As you will see this story is changing almost by the day, and there are indeed very strange and suspicious things happening around this tale… I have the link to that report right here, and of course my own thoughts and comments to follow:

https://theintercept.com/2016/01/15/the-u-s-radically-changes-its-story-of-the-boats-in-iranian-waters-to-an-even-more-suspicious-version/

When news first broke of the detention of two U.S. ships in Iranian territorial waters, the U.S. media — aside from depicting it as an act of Iranian aggression — uncritically cited the U.S. government’s explanation for what happened. One of the boats, we were told, experienced “mechanical failure” and thus “inadvertently drifted” into Iranian waters.

On CBS News, Joe Biden told Charlie Rose, “One of the boats had engine failure, drifted into Iranian waters.”  Provided their government script, U.S. media outlets repeatedly cited these phrases — “mechanical failure” and “inadvertently drifted” and “boat in distress” — like some sort of hypnotic mantra. Here’s Eli Lake of Bloomberg News explaining yesterday why this was all Iran’s fault:

Iran’s handling of the situation violated international norms. … Two small U.S. sea craft transiting between Kuwait and Bahrain strayed into Iranian territorial waters because of a mechanical failure, according to the U.S. side. This means the boats were in distress.
Lake quoted John McCain as saying that boats do not lose their sovereign immune status when they are in distress at sea.” The night the news broke, Reuters quickly said the “boats may have inadvertently drifted into Iranian waters” and “another U.S. official said mechanical issues may have disabled one of the boats, leading to a situation in which both ships drifted inadvertently into Iranian waters.”

The U.S. government itself now says this story was false. There was no engine failure, and the boats were never “in distress.” Once the sailors were released, AP reported, “In Washington, a defense official said the Navy has ruled out engine or propulsion failure as the reason the boats entered Iranian waters.”

Instead, said Defense Secretary Ashton Carter at a press conference this morning, the sailors “made a navigational error that mistakenly took them into Iranian territorial waters.” He added that they “obviously had misnavigated” when, in the words of the New York Times“they came within a few miles of Farsi Island, where Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps has a naval base.” 

The LA Times conveyed this new official explanation: “A sailor may have punched the wrong coordinates into the GPS and they wound up off course. Or the crew members may have taken a shortcut into Iranian waters as they headed for the refueling ship, officials said.” The initial slogan “inadvertently drifted” — suggesting a disabled boat helplessly floating wherever the ocean takes it — has now been replaced in the script by “inadvertently strayed,” meaning the boats were erroneously steered into Iranian waters without any intention to go there.
 
It is, of course, theoretically possible that this newest rendition of events is what happened. But there are multiple reasons to suspect otherwise. To begin with, U.S. sailors frequently travel between Bahrain and Kuwait, two key U.S. allies, the former of which hosts the Fifth Fleet headquarters; these were familiar waters.
 
Moreover, at no point did either of the ships notify anyone that they had inadvertently “misnavigated” into Iranian territorial waters, a significant enough event that would warrant some sort of radio or other notification. “U.S. defense officials were befuddled about how both vessels’ navigational systems failed to alert them that they were entering Iranian waters,” reported the Daily Beast’s Nancy Youseff on Tuesday night.

Carter sought to explain this away by saying, “It may have been they were trying to sort it out at the time when they encountered the Iranian boats.” Not one sailor on either of the boats could communicate the “error”? Beyond that, “misnavigating” within a few miles of an Iranian Guard Corps naval base is a striking coincidence (the LA Times summarized an exciting and remarkable tale of how the boats were perhaps running out of gas, entered Iranian waters merely as a “shortcut,” experienced engine failure when they tried to escape, and then on top of all these misfortunes, experienced radio failure).
 
What we know for certain is that the storyline of “mechanical failure” and “poor U.S. boat in distress” that was originally propagated — on which Lake exclusively relied to blame the Iranians — was complete fiction. At least according to the government’s latest version, the boats were working just fine. But, as always, the bulk of the U.S. media narrative was built around totally unverified, self-serving claims from the U.S. government, which, yet again, turned out to be completely false.  (VN: well of couse, who runs the US government, and has even admitted that we do what they tell us to do?  Well, its the khazars of Israel and their banking illuminati bloodline bosses.)
 
Perhaps there are valid reasons why the U.S. military — while the sailors were still in Iranian custody — would falsely claim that the boats experienced “mechanical failure” and were in “distress,” as that would excuse an otherwise intentional act (one of the sailors in the video taken by Iran claimed they were “having engine issues”). But the fact that there is a good reason for the U.S. government to make false claims does not excuse the U.S. media’s uncritical regurgitation of them nor the construction of a narrative based on them depicting Iran as the aggressor; it may be shocking to hear, but the U.S. government and U.S. media are supposed to have different functions.
 
This happens over and over. A significant incident occurs, such as the U.S. bombing of an MSF hospital in Kunduz, Afghanistan. The U.S. government makes claims about what happened. The U.S. media uncritically repeat them over and over. And then the U.S. government just blithely changes its story repeatedly, implicitly admitting that the tales it originally told were utterly false.

But the next time a similar event happens, there is no heightened skepticism of U.S. government claims: its media treat them as Gospel.  (VN: the same people who own the media also run our government.  Gee, what a surprise this happens. NOT!!)

The behavior of the U.S. media in this case was downright embarrassing, even by their standards. CNN’s Erin Burnett openly and repeatedly suggested that this was a calculated move by Iran to humiliate the U.S. and Obama during his State of the Union address (as though Iran hypnotized the sailors into entering its territorial waters on cue).

And more generally, this unauthorized trespass into Iranian territorial waters was continuously depicted as an act of Iranian aggression (contrast that with how the U.S. government suggested it would be in Turkey’s rights not only to intercept but to shoot down any Russian jet that even briefly traverses its airspace).

Article 25 of the U.N. Convention of the Law of the Sea, titled “Rights of protection of the coastal State,” states that “the coastal State may take the necessary steps in its territorial sea to prevent passage which is not innocent.”
All you need to know about the U.S. media is this: Just imagine what they would be saying and doing if two Iranian ships had entered U.S. territorial waters with no warning or permission, and then the Iranian government lied about why that happened.

And that’s to say nothing of the massive apologia that spewed forth in 1988 when, in roughly the same areas as these ships “misnavigated” into, the U.S. Navy blew an Iranian civilian jet out of the sky, killing 290 passengers, 66 of whom were children, and then tried to cover up its responsibility.
 
So, to recap the U.S. media narrative: when the U.S. Navy enters Iran’s territorial waters without permission or notice, and Iran detains them and then releases them within 24 hours, Iran is the aggressor; and the same is true when Iran aggressively allows one of its civilian jets to be shot down by the U.S. Navy.

And no matter how many times the U.S. government issues patently false statements about its military actions, those statements are entitled to unquestioning, uncritical treatment as Truth the next time a similar incident occurs.

NTS Notes:  I will not pull any punches here and I am calling bullshit on everything the US is claiming happened with this “incident”…..

Lets face the facts.. The Persian Gulf is not that big, and even these small ships as part of the US Navy have not only proper radar guidance systems, but GPS as well.. I doubt very much that someone on ALL THREE BOATS simultaneously and independently loaded the ‘wrong coordinates’ in the boats’ GPS systems to send all three off course and into Iranian waters.. For the US Government to try to sell that tale is so laughable and complete and utter bullshit….

What I see is the US Navy bullshitting their way out of this mess that they themselves created, and it seems that there was something more nefarious about this incident and I will explain what I see happened here…

Lets face the facts.. The US and Saudi Arabia did attempt just a few weeks ago to get their nice little war going in the Middle East against Iran by the Saudis killing that Iranian Islamic cleric… Luckily the Iranians did not take the bait when the Saudis were obviously the aggressors in that incident, and the US had to go back to the drawing board and concoct another incident…

People will be asking WHY NOW?  The reality is that the US is in deep economic trouble.. Their Petro-Dollar scam to keep the US dollar afloat by forcing nations to trade their petroleum in US dollars is at an end with the collapse of the world wide price of Petroleum…  Nations are rapidly moving away from the US dollar and it scares the hell out of the criminals in charge of the US Government….(VN:  He means Khazars and the British)

And rather than do the right thing and simply end the crushing debt that the US citizens have had to suffer under due to criminal Jewish (VN: khazar) scumbags, the think tanks that run the entire mess actually think that the way out of the mess that they created is to have a “nice little war” that will drive the economy out of the recession and at the same time drive up the world price of Petroleum and restore the Petro-dollar scam…..

Yes, the insane thinking in the Pentagon and the White House is that by having a war against Iran at this time, the Persian Gulf will be closed to world wide Petroleum shipments and the price of a barrel of oil will suddenly jump from its present value of around $28 a barrel to around $200 overnight!  Yes, GREED rules and the US wants this $200 a barrel oil and they care not that war against Iran could quickly escalate considering that Iran is allied to both Russia and China…….

Therefore it makes sense that the US would put out the “bait” by having these three Naval vessels go into Iranian waters, with the hope that the Iranians would shoot at these vessels and therefore the US navy would come to the rescue (2 US carrier battle groups and one French Carrier group “conveniently” in the vicinity during this “incident? ) by retaliating and launching air strikes against Iran…..

Luckily again the Iranians have not done anything to harm the sailors on those ships (in fact they were treated so much better than the US has treated prisoners in any of their jails including Guantanamo Bay!).  And they have rightfully released them back into American hands…

The bottom line is that we have not seen the last of these “incidents”...( VN:  oh, yes we have, since NO ONE BELIEVES ANYTHING OUR GOVERNMENT SAYS ANYMORE, EVEN AMERICANS DON’T BELIEVE IT.) The US is right now teetering on economic disaster and the insanity of their leadership is that they need a war, and in fact any war, to save their necks…. And they care not for the fact that even a small war could quickly escalate into a global conflagration….   Be weary everyone, for a new “false flag” event is definitely coming…

More to come
