Oil spill in Gulf - not an accident

[locksly]

North Korean torpedoing of Gulf of Mexico oil rig.
If this is true, a bigger question may be who ordered this oil rig to be blown up, who was involved, who allowed it to happen, who benefited, etc.

US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig

By: Sorcha Faal

A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.

Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War.

To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).

On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright. Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.

To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) set to begin May 3rd in New York.

This “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear device.

Russian Navy atomic experts in these reports state that should Obama choose the “nuclear option” the most viable weapon at his disposal is the United States B83 (Mk-83) strategic thermonuclear bomb having a variable yield (Low Kiloton Range to 1,200 Kilotons) which with its 12 foot length and 18 inch diameter, and weighing just over 2,400 pounds, is readily able to be deployed and detonated by a remote controlled mini-sub.

Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996 issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme circumstances” or “self defense”.

On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran.

To whatever decision Obama makes it remains a fact that with each passing hour this environmental catastrophe grows worse. And even though Obama has ordered military SWAT teams to protect other oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from any further attack, and further ordered that all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico be immediately stopped, this massive oil spill has already reached the shores of America and with high waves and more bad weather forecast the likelihood of it being stopped from destroying thousands of miles of US coastland and wildlife appears unstoppable.

And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500 Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations from bankruptcy.

Important to note too in all of these events was that this was the second attack by North Korea on its South Korean enemy, and US ally, in a month as we had reported on in our March 28th report titled “Obama Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and which to date neither the Americans or South Korea have retaliated for and giving one senior North Korean party leader the courage to openly state that the North Korean military took “gratifying revenge” on South Korea.

And for those believing that things couldn’t get worse, they couldn’t be more mistaken as new reports coming from Japanese military sources are stating that North Korea is preparing for new launches of its 1,300 kilometer (807 miles) intermediate range ballistic “Rodong” missile which Russian Space Forces experts state is able to “deploy and detonate” an atomic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, and which if detonated high in the atmosphere could effectively destroy the American economy for years, if not decades, to come.

Well interesting report . AL Quata financed it I bet. NUKE THEM NORTH KOREAN COMMIES.
SSC Sang-O Class
While the North Korean submarine force reflects dated technology by Western standards, North Korean submarines during wartime would present significant challenges, particularly in coastal areas. North Korea has placed high priority on submarine construction programs which are ongoing despite its economic hardships. An example of this is the SANGO SSC, a simple submarine constructed in two variants, for use in the covert insertion of Special Operations Forces (SOF), mining or antisurface warfare. The submarine comes in two different variants, one with torpedoe tubes and the second without but with the capability to lay mines.

The Sang-O (Shark) class submarines are used for special forces infiltration into South Korea and have at times been captured by ROK forces. According to Janes Fighting Ships 2002-3 Sang-o class submarines began to be constructed in 1991 at Sinpo and were be constructing at 4-6 a year by 1996. Reports indicate that only three were built in 1997 and it is unclear what was produced in the following years.

Bitter enemies since the outbreak of war in 1950, the two Koreas remain divided by the most heavily guarded border in the world - one the North regularly attempts to penetrate. The 18 September 1996 grounding of a North Korean submarine filled with 25 heavily armed commandos - stunned the South as communist soldiers waded ashore 90 miles northeast of Seoul. Deadly skirmishes followed for two months as the commandos attempted to flee north, with most of the team being killed along with several South Korean soldiers and innocent civilians. The North Korean submarine got stranded on some underwater rocks, forcing the crew to get out and try to return to North Korea. This prompted a deadly manhunt that lasted over a month (25 of the 26 crew members were shot dead and the South Korean casualties, civil and military, tallied 17).

Once inside the submarine one really wonders how 26 people could have fit in such a cramped space – let alone live. Following this incident, North Korea officially apologized and assured that he would do all his best to prevent such a thing from happening again. Two years later another submarine, a much smaller Yugo class, was found entangled in South Korean fishing nets

Unification Park is composed of unification security pavilion. It was opened in September 26, 2001. To display the tanks and field artillery additionally in the outdoor exhibition area in the future, revitalization of local economy can be achieved in connection with the Jeongdongjin Sunrise Resort displaying the artillery of the armed forces fro the first time in the nation. In addition to the pavilion of North Korean submarine moved and displayed in the site in May 1998, the retired warship, Jeonbukham, was lent for free to Gangneung in order to be reused as an education arena of national security culture from the navy.

Iranian naval forces to launch two Al-Gadir submarines
Contributed by Trend
Monday, 23 November 2009
The Iranian Navy will launch two Al-Gadir submarines Nov. 28 on Navy Day, Iran's Navy Commander Habibullah Sayyari
was quoted as saying by the Ilna news agency today.
"Four military landing craft air cushions and two Al-Gadir submarines will be transferred to the naval forces after the
overhaul," Sayyari said at a news conference.
In January 2009, the Iranian Navy launched three Al-Gadir submarines at the Bandar Abbas Port. The Iranian Defense
Ministry announced the start of Unis-6 military landing craft air cushion production in May 2009.

Reference From Global Security
Al-Gadir submarines
Yono Class / Ghadir Class Midget Submarine
In 2005 Iran announced it would start production of its first indigenous submarine. Iran on 11 May 2005 officially
launched the production of its first locally built submarine, a craft capable of operating stealthily, state-run television
reported. Defence Ministry spokesman Mohammad Imani was quoted as saying "the enemy would not be able to detect
the submarine." He did not elaborate. One submarine had already been built and was shown on television, cruising at
sea level. The Defence Ministry had commissioned an unspecified number of the craft that’s been dubbed
"Ghadir."
The hull was launched in 2006. In 2007 the Iranian navy unveiled a submarine, named the Qadir (also written Ghadir),
first of a number of planned midget submarines of the Yono class. Some observers suggested that the Qadir was
otherwise similar to the North Korean Yugo boats, leading observers to suggest that this was an Iranian design based
heavy on that class. But the Ghadir was 50% longer than the Yugo, and in fact resembled the North Korean Sang-O
Class coastal submarines.
Iranian authorities asserted that the Qadir was an entirely Iranian design, and that the vessel could launch anti-ship
missiles. Such a capability would have required the installation of more advanced systems into the submarine or the
operation in concert with other vessels capable of guiding any such missiles. The Qadir does have provisions for
mounting a Swimmer Delivery Vehicle (SDV), a type of craft that Iran has also developed.
Iran described the Ghadir as a "light" submarine, meaning it is smaller than the attack subs used by the United States.
Iran has provided very little information about the craft, including its dimensions or the size of its crew.
The Shi’a celebrate the Eid al-Ghadir on 18 Dhu al-Hijja in the Islamic calendar, the day when Prophet
Muhammad appointed Ali for the caliphate. Ghadir is a site in the Arabian Peninsula holy to Shias, the overwhelming
majority of Iran’s 69 million people. On 18th Zilhajjah of the year 10 A.H. (10 March 632 CE), after completing the
last pilgrimage the Holy Prophet(S.A.W.) along with the Muslims set out of Makkah. On their way back the Muslims
reached a place called Ghadir-e-khumm. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: "He (Ali) is the mawla (i.e., has prior right to
and superior authority over the lives) of all those of whom I am mawla. O Allah, love him who loves him (Ali) and hate him
who hates him." The "day of Ghadeer" is particularly specified for helping deserving people."
The submarine, which is capable of operating in the Persian Gulf and Oman seawaters, can launch both missiles and
torpedoes at the same time, the television reported, without specifying the range of the projectiles. In December 2004,
Iran announced the production of a line of stealth torpedoes that could be launched from helicopters, ships or
submarines. Iranian officials have repeatedly said the Islamic Republic will defend itself should the United States or
archrival Israel initiate any aggression. Pressure has mounted on Iran recently with suspicion over its nuclear program
which Washington suspects is aimed at building unconventional weapons, a charge Iranian officials vehemently deny.
In November 2007 Iran claimed to have built a small submarine equipped with sonar-evading technology, saying the craft

had been launched in the Persian Gulf. The navy chief, Adm. Habibollah Sayyari, was quoted by state television as
saying the new Ghadir-class submarine is the second Iranian-built underwater craft outfitted with "state-of-the-art
electronic equipment." He said it took 10 years to build.
Iran's Naval Submarine fleet will be equipped with a new domestically manufactured submarine, the senior Iranian navy
commander said in August 2008. Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that Iranian technicians have used indigenous
technology to build the new submarine. He did not specify the class of the new submarine. Iran's Navy currently operates
Ghadir and Nahang (meaning whale in Persian) submarines. According to Rear Adm. Sayyari, the Ghadir submarine is
equipped with the latest military and technological equipments.
On 26 November 2008 the Commander of the Islamic Republic Army's Navy Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari said that
in next 15 days another Ghadir class submarine would be delivered to the Navy. Sayyari told reporters after touring IRNA
head office that the submarine has been designed and built by Marine Industries Organization. He said moreover, a light
submarine will join the Navy's fleet on the Navy Day. He added that once the submarines join the Navy, its deterrent
power deep inside the sea will increase dramatically. This would mark possibly the fouth submarine in this class.
Reportedly being mass produced [reportedly at a cost of $18 million each], the first of this class, Ghadir, has been
paraded for the press. Although generally described as a mini-submarine, it is rather larger that Iran's other mini-subs.
The Ghadir, with an estimated displacement estimated at between 120 tons and 500 tons, is probably better described
as a littoral submarine, similar in concept to the Italian Sauro class though significantly smaller. Photographs indicate it
has a pair of bow torpedo tubes which appear to be 21” allowing them to fire typical heavyweight torpedoes. It
could thus serve as a launch platform for the infamous Shkval rocket torpedo, which has been transfered to Iran.

'NK Heavy Torpedoes Blamed for Disaster'

By Jung Sung-ki

Staff Reporter



Investigators, who believe that a torpedo attack could have sunk the Navy ship Cheonan ― breaking it in two ― are looking into the capabilities of North Korea's torpedoes, sources said Monday.

Pyongyang is believed to have four to five types of heavy torpedoes built in China and Russia.

The Type EO-3G torpedo developed by China is referred to as the probable culprit. Built in the 1980s, the torpedo is a passive homing weapon capable of hitting a ship after tracking the vessel's screws acoustically.

The Type EO-6 and ET-80A are also referred to as homing weapons that might have hit the 1,200-ton frigate near the western sea border with North Korea on the night of March 26.

Some experts downplayed the possibility of homing torpedoes, citing the low capability of North Korea's Sang-O (Shark) class submarines.

The 34-meter-long, 3.8-meter-wide Sang-O class is mainly used by special forces in infiltrating areas or laying mines. Also the sub is known not to have an advanced system to guide homing weapons.

North Korea's non-homing torpedoes include the Type 53-59 and Type 53-56, which were built in Russia and exported to China and North Korea.

On Sunday, a civilian-military team temporarily concluded that a massive air bubble shockwave, caused by a proximity explosion below the Cheonan's hull, split the ship in two.

``After a visual examination of the inside and outside of the broken section, we've concluded that there must have been an underwater explosion,'' Yoon Duk-yong, co-head of the 130-member investigation team, said.

``Given the appearance, moreover, it is most likely to have been a non-contact explosion, not a contact blast,'' said Yoon, a professor emeritus at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). ``The exact location and power of the explosion will be discovered through further analysis and simulations.''

It's a pathetic shame, that as American citizens, we are forced to search Russian reports to try and find the truth of what's happening in our own homeland!
