According to one report, two Saudi sailors were injured in the alleged bombardment.

TODAY.......North Korea Vs South Korea Naval Dispute.......THEN.....Saudi Arabia Vs UAE Naval Dispute.

The Saudi vessel was forced to surrender, and its sailors were delivered into custody in Abu Dhabi for several days, before being released and handed over to the Saudi embassy earlier this week.

The incident has shocked diplomats who hope the countries, both key American allies, will help implement the West's strategy to constrain Iran's nuclear and military ambitions.

Lets see where this one goes!

This better be a lesson to you Americans to stay out of Canadian waters!!

;-)


This is an actual radio conversation between a United States Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast off Newfoundland in October 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 as authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)

CANADIANS:
Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS:
Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS:
Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS:
This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

CANADIANS:
No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS:
This is the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln. The second largest ship in the United States Atlantic fleet. We are accompanied by three destroyers, three cruisers, and numerous support vessels. I demand that you change your course15 degrees north...
I say again...That's one-five degrees north.... or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship!

CANADIANS:
We are a lighthouse. Your call

























^ it's not real.

TAKE OFF EH? GET OUTTA HERE YOU AMERICAN HOSERS!

well after reading this
another incident came to mind
anybody remember
Gulf of Tonkin???

sound familiar???

What the heck is going on today...Israel/pal,NK/SK,now this.

Everyone calm down already!!

Is there some kind of weird cosmic event causing everyone to start fighting or something?

Yes, there is.

There is an astrological alignment between Uranus, Saturn and Pluto, in cardinal signs, which are the ones of most energy. A previous example of this occured around 1930-1933 and 1967-1969, both during periods of great change, in people's life and in nations. The same occurs now, between 2010 and 2013.

This alignment is right on the "cardinal" points, this means, on the points of echinoxs and solstices. Since Spring solstice was few days ago (21 March), there was another extra addition of astrological energy.

The alignment of 2010-2013 will stir up energy in all areas of life: be it, war, economy, society, science, media, etc... it just stirs energy up, then the free will of human decide what to act.

So, you see, these things really work.
And you can see how primitive a species is our civilization.
Unfortunely, as the energy increases in the next months, I hope nothing dramatic occurs.
