OBAMA’S GIVEAWAY: OIL-RICH ISLANDS TO RUSSIA
Exclusive: Joe Miller sounds alarm over deal to put land in hands of Putin’s KremlinBy Joe Miller
The Obama administration, despite the nation’s economic woes, effectively killed the job-producing Keystone Pipeline last month. The Arab Spring is turning the oil production of Libya and other Arab nations over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iraq is distancing itself from the U.S. And everyone recognizes that Iran, whose crude supplies are critical to the European economy, will do anything it can to frustrate America’s strategic interests. In the face of all of this, Obama insists on cutting back U.S. oil potential with outrageous restrictions.
Part of Obama’s apparent war against U.S. energy independence includes a foreign-aid program that directly threatens my state’s sovereign territory. 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 endangered 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 seabeds 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 President Obama or Secretary Clinton.MORE HERE
Seriously, who does Obama think he is???

This unbelievable! Does the executive branch have the power to give away US territory without the consent of congress? Thanks for this alert.
I didn’t think they did, but obviously, Obama thinks he can do anything … Who’s got the courage to stop him??? NO ONE! grrrrrrrr This is soooooooo outrageous. This with everything else is … beyond words!
I did a post on this today too, Barb. It seems like this treaty was ratified by the Senate in 1991, it hasn’t been confirmed by the Russians yet. But it seems that the Obama State Dept. has decided to go back and add in these islands that weren’t even part of the original treaty and just give them to the Russians. I haven’t been able to find out if the Senate has to approve this or not. It doesn’t seem to matter to the Obama administration though, they are doing it anyhow!
Crazzzzy stuff, Loppyloo … Ya, it deson’t seem to matter to Obama, and no one seems to ave the courage to confront him on … ANYTHING???
This is from the Borg Conspiracy :May 1881 US explorers approached Jeannette Island and Henrietta Island and claimed them for the United States. According to some US individuals, including the group State Department Watch, eight Arctic islands currently controlled by Russia, including Wrangel Island, are claimed by the United States. However, according to the United States Department of State no such claim exists. The USSR/USA Maritime Boundary Treaty, which has yet to be approved by the Russian Duma, does not address the status of these islands nor the maritime boundaries associated with them.
The Obama Administration is reportedly giving away Wrangell, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta islands in Alaska to Russia. The federal government drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side.

I think that this amounts to treason on Obutthole’s part. re-blogged the whole article on my blog. We need to get the message out.
thanks for being so faithful.

From a resident Alaskan:
This is old, old, old, news. Part of a maritime boundary agreement that’s been on going for alt least 4 if not more presidential administrations. These islands are so isolated and desolate and not even reachable more than 4 months out of the year, the remaining 8 their ice bound, that its not cost effective at all to tap them for any possible resources. They have no strategic value at all. Their DUDS so would be no loss to us and Gentleman Joe Miller knows that he just has to have something to bitch about since he lost not only the election but in court on recount.
These islands are much closer to Russia than Alaska and clearly on the Russian side of the maritime boundary line.

I also find it amazing that not only has the GOP blocked any effort to fix the damage, they then say Obama’s policies are destroying the country. and racist Tea Party rednecks are destroying the country.
It’s a proxy issue. For many, the real issue is not is religion, but his race. This does not apply to all right-wingers, but it is true of a substantial segment — whether they admit it or not.
The Republican Party is not a cancer in the body of America, a party of racists and religious bigots. The President doesn’t hate this country; I believe the extremist republicans hate this country because Obama is running this country. The President doesn’t cater to one race of people; he’s in this for all races of people. See, this is just an extreme far right post, which is designed to bate racism and hatred towards the President.
Anyone who calls Obama a traitor is a racist! It’s obvious they are racist, hateful, and disgusting human beings. That is a fact!
Finally, Put a sock in it, scumbag. I’ve read many of your posts. Who are you to call anyone, especially the President, a disgrace of a man, when you are nothing more than a hetero-phobic, anti-Christian, racist, bigot!
yes, the treaty BHO has thrown additional islands into the mix to appease Putin.
I don’t know the man, nor do I know his race, as it happens, nor do I care! I have never once called BHO a scumbag or any other such word! Go back to your ignorant masses and enjoy!
Gee … Now see, I thought you wre displaying some intelligence there for a minute, but no … you were referring to BHO … Yea, I’m really a racist! You went from ranting on Joe Miller to BHO with no transition!
YES, thankfully, the TEA party is STOPPING BHO from destroying the nation any further, and of course, it is because of his skin color. That makes so much sense! Only RACISTS play the race card, ever notice that? RACIST!
Have you read the original agreement? I did, these islands were not part of it, they have been added without discussion anywhere by the Obama State Dept. and they are saying that we don’t own them to start with. Your own state disagrees with that fact and they were cut out of the discussion. As to how often they are reachable, that is irrelevant, you don’t throw your treasure away and get nothing in return. The Obama administration is asking for nothing, just adding them in. You are right about Rep. as well, they are the ones that started this mess, but that doesn’t excuse the Obama administration when they are doing wrong either. They should all be held accountable.
Questionman
You are a true believer. I am not a racist. That is a weak charge indeed by someone who can’t defend Obama’s administration. I believe in the MLK “Dream Speech” where we don’t judge a man on the color of his skin but by the content of his character. Obama’s character leaves a whole lot to be desired. It is grounds for disbarrment if an attorney knowingly has a client sign a document that they have not read in its entirety and understand completely. That is exactly what he did with Obamacare even though it won’t take effect for 4 years, it had to be signed immediately without anyone having a chance to read it. He also promised numerous times on the campaign trail that if elected he would have the health care negotiations broadcast on C Span and then promptly broke that promise. The list goes on and on but you won’t even bother to believe it or look at the evidence.
All you can offer is name calling and hate speech to legitimate complaints, you have demonstrated what kind of man you are and where you stand.

Thank you, John!
well put
Boy, is this a liberal site or what!? Seems that any time someone speaks out about
Obama’s policies they are labeled a Racist. Don’t you people have a better argument then that? Are you all so blind as to what is going on in this country?
Stop with the name calling – it only belittles you.

I bet Bush 1, Bush 2, and Cheney, all oilmen, looked into finding a way to claim them islands while they were in office. It’s just another ploy made to enrage those who just need any reason to hate President Obama more and make him look bad.
No, it’s very simple, and the administrations you mentioned are just as guilty for NOT acting! It simply requires a little courage, or at the very least, an open discussion!
We are all owned. These ploys are planned to cause mindless debates.By idiots on both sides. No one seems to get it.

the islands are closer to Siberia than Alaska.They lie on the Russian side of the maritime boundry.Simple their yard not ours.How many of you have been to Alaska?I have been there on and off for over the last 6yrs. and am more versed on the topic than most who just read and believe.
Sorry David, lived there for several years! This has been going on for several years, also through several presidencies even. My problems are to-fold:
1. No one has said anything. No media coverage – no dialogue.
2. No Congressional discourse. This is not an Executive decision alone, but according to the Constitution, must involve the Congress. This administration doesn’t care about the Constitutional directives. THAT concerns me!
David, Obama thinks that he was elected king or dictator in chief. We have a representative republic where the rule of law must be passed on by Colngress, not by presidential command.
