That is an incredible set of CEMEX/CEMENT Distribution data!
Made me think of something. Gonna go down a bunny hole real quick. Be back soon.
Hi eldoradude... I decided to collect some links regarding “Project Pelican”
I was surprised to find that in addition to the goat scr** involving the betrayal of the port system and almost everything else in this nation, it is also a Microsoft project. People who are more techie than I am may wish to assess that one for skullduggery.
I selected 10 links, and provided minimal commentary. Near the end of my efforts, on the 9th link, I discovered a recent story written by two of the people I had run across before in my earlier peregrinations. The article is long, but it lays the whole thing out so very well. I shamelessly bowdlerized it in order to let people at least be able to skim some of the high points. Of course, link provided so the whole thing can be read.
During my searches, a memory of a Q drop from one of my earlier searches drifted in. It really does seem to fit and point to the Project Pelican/Gulftainer situation, but there is a problem. The Q drop relates to SA, not the UAE where the Gulftainer is headquartered. Oh well. I will leave it in my notes, and perhaps it may spark someone else’s thinking.
I have also found at least two instances where the Memory Hole has swallowed previously active links on this story. One is from the Oathkeeper’s web site. That link is still functional, but the video on the Pelican Project ha been pulled.
The other is there is no story on Wikipedia - I could certainly be losing my mind here, but I was certain I saw a Wiki story on it the other day.

Pelican: A building block for exascale cold data storage
Pelican aims to store infrequently accessed (cold) data as inexpensively as possible.
The amount of data stored is growing at a huge rate, but not all of it is “hot,” i.e. frequently accessed. There is little reason to store cold data in the same high-performance, high-cost systems as hot data. Our goal was to design a storage system—called Pelican—specifically to take advantage of the needs of cold data workload.

The Pelican Project is for the Birds
‘“…The bill, unveiled last week, would create a powerful “Pelican Commission” controlled by Louisiana residents that would decide which Corps projects to fund, and ordered the commission to consider several controversial navigation projects that have nothing to do with flood protection. The Corps section of the Louisiana bill, which was supported by the entire state delegation, was based on recommendations from a “working group” dominated by lobbyists for ports, shipping firms, energy companies and other corporate interests.
The bill would exempt any Corps projects approved by the commission from provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Clean Water Act. It would also waive the usual Corps cost—sharing requirements, ensuring that federal taxpayers would pay every dime….”
8) Sweetheart Deal Handed Port Canaveral’s Cargo Container Terminal
http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/11/04/saddam-hussein-port-canaveral/
In a breathtaking national security lapse, the brother and business partner of Saddam Hussein’s rogue nuclear weapons mastermind Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar took control of cargo container operations at Florida’s Port Canaveral in a secretly-negotiated 2014 deal code-named “Project Pelican.”
The “Project Pelican” deal leased the Port Canaveral cargo container to Gulftainer, a UAE ports company owned by Iraqi oil magnate Hamid Jafar through the Iraqi Jafar family’s business empire The Crescent Group.
Port Canaveral awarded Gulftainer a 35-year no-bid container terminal lease at Port Canaveral.
Treasury Secretary Jacob “Jack” Lew declined to conduct a National Security Threat Analysis of Gulftainer and its Iraqi and Emirati owners, as required under Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) and Foreign Investment and National Security Act of 2007 (FINSA) laws. That review includes input from all sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies.
Dr. Jafar is infamous for his uranium enrichment genius and known to possess deep ties to Iran, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). That Dr. Jafar was a national security threat is evidenced by the fact that he was wanted by coalition forces at the outset of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

“…Cargo container terminals are the very location at which national security experts fear the U.S. homeland is most vulnerable.
“Lawmakers said an undetected radiological weapon smuggled into a U.S. port inside a cargo container is at the top of the list of homeland security nightmares” reported FCW in July 2016.
Aviation and cargo security expert Glen Winn, who is also a former Secret Service agent, asserted that “while we may not be able to check every cargo container coming into the country without bringing global commerce to a standstill, it is imperative that the lessees to America’s ports receive the proper National Security Threat Analysis. That is the point at which you maintain your national security.”
In 2011, San Diego Assistant Port Director Al Hallor – who at the time was also a high-ranking Customs and Border Protection officer at the port – told San Diego’s ABC 10 News that a “weapon of mass effect” had been found, but not at the port itself. The Department of Homeland Security soon tried to walk back Hallor’s statements, insisting that he was “nervous” and “misspoke” during the interview…”

“…Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay’s Submarine Group 10 often moves Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines in and out of Port Canaveral. The Navy officials say they contacted the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and FBI counter-terrorism officials.
A SpaceX official speaking to Alan Jones in Florida reacted with an “oh [expletive]” upon learning that Gulftainer, which handles recovery of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket booster at Port Canaveral, has ties to Dr. Jafar. The official added that the information would immediately be communicated to senior SpaceX officials, including CEO Elon Musk.”

FORMER DHS NYC CHIEF: GULFTAINER PORT CANAVERAL SECRET “PROJECT PELICAN” DEAL WORSE THAN IRAN-CONTRA AND WHITEWATER COMBINED; GULFTAINER CONNECTS TO JONATHAN WINER; GULFTAINER TAKING SECOND U.S. PORT
By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones
March 23, 2018
The Obama administration placed a declared enemy of the United States (who was on U.S. Central Command’s Operation Iraqi Freedom “Blacklist”) inside the wire at Port Canaveral, Florida with a 35 year cargo container terminal lease. That lease bypassed the congressionally-mandated national security review by 16 intelligence agencies.
“…In 2014 Obama and Clinton operatives positioned Gulftainer, a Middle Eastern ports company, only a few thousand feet from U.S. Navy Trident submarines at Port Canaveral and within sight of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. Gulftainer is now embedded amidst America’s most sensitive space, naval submarine, and air force defense installations….”

“…Those Saddam loyalists are members of the notorious Iraqi Jafar family of the Crescent Petroleum oil empire — led by Gulftainer co-owner Hamid Jafar and his brother, rogue nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar. Dr. Jafar was declared an enemy of the United States in 2003 and was wanted for capture or kill by coalition forces….”

Gulftainer is in the midst of taking over cargo container operations at a second U.S. port, the Port of Wilmington in Delaware, The News Journal reported on March 22, 2018.
The Port of Wilmington is located 110 miles from Washington D.C. and 125 miles from New York City….”

“…King is the renowned expert on the aborted Dubai Ports World (DPW) debacle. That 2006 deal would have given a foreign Middle Eastern government, the UAE-government’s DPW, control of cargo operations at six major U.S. ports.
The American people, upon being informed of the DPW deal, rose up and strenuously objected. Congress held hearings. DPW went home.
“Project Pelican” is the code-name used for the Obama administration’s 2014 secretly-negotiated deal pursuant to which a 35-year lease handed over control of cargo container operations at Florida’s Port Canaveral to United Arab Emirates-based Gulftainer. The American people were not informed of the Project Pelican deal until officials from Gulftainer’s UAE headquarters, led by Dr. Jafar’s nephew Badr Jafar, flew into Port Canaveral, where the deal was announced at the signing ceremony.
Dr. King reviewed the Center for Security Policy Project Pelican papers “What Could Possibly Go Wrong,” “The Perfect Storm,” and “The Real Russia Story.”…”

“…President Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions also opposed the Dubai Ports World deal while serving as Alabama’s junior senator, stating “Generally, the UAE has been friendly. But the UAE, even if their leadership is friendly, there’s evidence that people from the UAE have participated in terrorist activity” and that the ports deal “provides an opportunity for a terrorist to penetrate, scout our ports and identify vulnerabilities” the Decatur Dailyreported. President Bush “may get licked on this one” Sessions accurately predicted.
Yet, at that very same time, Hillary’s husband was working behind the scenes as an adviser to Dubai Ports World and the UAE….”

“… Crescent Petroleum CEO Majid Jafar, who is Hamid Jafar’s son and Dr. Jafar’s nephew, co-launched a Dubai-based educational initiative called Business Backs Education with former President Bill Clinton. Majid Jafar and Bill Clinton were photographed together in Dubai in March 2014, six weeks before the secret Project Pelican deal was announced and shortly after Dr. Jafar’s other nephew Badr Jafar, the chairman of Gulftainer’s executive board, visited the Obama White House.
Six weeks later, and only seven days after long-time Clintonista-turned Obama Treasury Secretary Jacob ‘Jack’ Lew flew to the UAE to meet with Emirati officials to discuss foreign investment in U.S. “infrastructure, real estate, and security.” The secret Project Pelican deal that put Gulftainer at Port Canaveral was announced and signed without prior notice or public discussion, bypassing Florida’s open bidding and sunshine laws…”

According to the Financial Times: “In addition to the $16.5m that Mr Clinton received from Laureate between 2010 and 2014, he was paid $5.6m as honorary chairman of the Varkey Gems Foundation, the charitable arm of Gems Education, a Dubai-based company founded by Sunny Varkey, an Indian-born billionaire.” According to Forbes, Varkey “never went beyond high school himself.”

“…Former Obama State Department official Jonathan M. Winer, who was the cutout conduit from shadowy Clinton operatives Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer to former British spy Christopher Steele, was a partner at law firm Alston & Bird, which represented Dubai Ports World in its attempted takeover of six U.S. ports. Winer passed key components used in the anti-Trump dossier to Steele. “Winer’s name and signature were on Alston & Bird’s application for two of its employees to register as lobbyists on behalf of DP World” Breitbart reported.
While Winer was senior vice-president at public relations firm APCO Worldwide, APCO Worldwide represented Tenex, a subsidiary of Rosatom, the Russian state-owned company that acquired Uranium One, according to another Breitbart report.
Rosatom subsidiary Inter RAO UES formed a strategic alliance to build power stations in the Middle East with the Jafars’ Crescent Investments and Dr. Jafar’s Crescent Group subsidiary Uruk Power, where Dr.Jafar serves as CEO.
As we previously reported at the Center for Security Policy, Gulftainer is connected to Uranium One through the Jafars’ Crescent Investment deal to team up uranium enrichment expert Dr. Jafar with Russia’s Rosatom subsidiary Inter RAO UES on power plant projects throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
John Solomon at The Hill reported that FBI informant Douglas Campbell “said in the statement obtained by The Hill that he was told by Russian nuclear executives that Moscow had hired the American lobbying firm APCO Worldwide specifically because it was in position to influence the Obama administration, and more specifically Hillary Clinton.”
“APCO was expected to give assistance free of charge to the Clinton Global Initiative as part of their effort to create a favorable environment to ensure the Obama administration made affirmative decisions on everything from Uranium One to the U.S.-Russia Civilian Nuclear Cooperation agreement” Campbell testified. Campbell also stated that Russian nuclear officials “told me at various times that they expected APCO to apply a portion of the $3 million annual lobbying fee it was receiving from the Russians to provide in-kind support for the Clintons’ Global Initiative.”

“…The Obama administration’s 2014 secretly-negotiated Project Pelican deal handed over control of cargo container operations at Florida’s Port Canaveral to United Arab Emirates-based Gulftainer. Port Canaveral. Port Canaveral is considered critical national security military infrastructure, harbors a U.S. Navy Trident nuclear submarine base and is near two U.S. Air Force Space Command bases.
The lease of critical national security infrastructure to a foreign government or individuals involved in WMD is, under the CFIUS and the Foreign Investment Nationals Security Act of 2007 (FINSA), verboten.
Rogue Iraqi nuclear physicist Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar and his brother and business partner, oil magnate Hamid Jafar, directed and schemed to fund Saddam Hussein’s secret nuclear weapons and uranium enrichment programs.
The mainstream media has avoided reporting on the Obama administration’s Project Pelican national security disaster, despite having dedicated wall-to-wall coverage to the Bush administration’s Dubai Ports World scandal and the hoax Trump Russia investigation. Project Pelican is The Real Russia Story.

“… Gulftainer, has teamed up with Russian state-owned weapons conglomerate Rostec in a joint venture called “Gulftainer Russian Technologies.”
Rostec, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Rosoboronexport, exports the Club-K container missile launch system, a Trojan Horse advanced weapons system disguised as a standard intermodal cargo container.
Club-K “containers” can be smuggled undetected through U.S. ports of entry and then transported inconspicuously aboard trucks and trains to every hamlet in America.
snip
Picture caption of a missile pointing out of a Club K container:
“Once prepositioned for attack, Club-K containers can lie in wait for months or years until they are remotely activated by satellite. Within minutes, those Russian cruise missiles could launch from locations throughout the United States, armed with nuclear, EMP, chemical, biological, or conventional payloads capable of wiping out military bases, aircraft carriers, factories, and cities. Dr. Peter Pry, foremost authority on EMP, declared the Club-K a game changer.”
snip
“…Before attempting to take over cargo container operations at Port Canaveral, in 2012 Gulftainer quietly attempted to “take over” Port Jacksonville. Port Jacksonville is near Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, home of American nuclear missile submarines. Gulftainer’s attempt to become a silent behind the scenes partner in a $250 million deal fell through after it was exposed by the Jacksonville Business Journal.
Dr. King stated that Gulftainer and the Jafars could be engaged in signals intelligence gathering operations at Port Canaveral, monitoring U.S. Navy submarines and U.S. space operations….”

“…Gulftainer and the Jafars operate Russian smuggling and money laundering nexus Port Ust Luga on the Baltic Sea near St. Petersburg under Gulftainer’s joint venture with Club-K exporter Rostec. Vladimir Putin attended the signing of that joint venture alongside Dr. Jafar’s nephew, Badr Jafar…”
snip
“… Christopher Steele’s Trump dossier attempts to connect Carter Page to Igor Sechin, but it is the Clintons’ associates the Jafars of Iraq who are verifiably connected to Sechin. That is one more reason why Project Pelican is the Real Russia Story…”

“…The laundry list of reason why Gulftainer is a national security risk leads one to wonder if Barack “Flexibility” Obama and Hillary Clinton, not President Donald Trump, are the ones working for the Kremlin. Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc spy to ever defect to the West and cooperate with the CIA, has already reached that conclusion.
Pacepa wrote on February 9, 2018 in a PJ Media piece titled “I Should Know: Dems’ Intel Abuse Is Reminiscent of My Work for Ceausescu”:
To a knowledgeable eye, Obama’s actions suggest he might have had some intelligence connection with the Kremlin, such as Whittaker Chambers once had…Seen through the perspective of history, Obama’s undercover Marxism constituted a malignant tumor on the body of the United States…The Democratic Party’s open Marxism is a national emergency. – Ion Mihai Pacepa.”
