ATTENTION CENTRAL FLORIDA FREEPERS -- JOIN THIS PROTEST

Public protest against Port Canaveral Authority and Gulftainer (GT USA)

NO RAILS! NATIONAL SECURITY!

We are staging a protest at Port Canaveral in Florida on Friday, June 12, the day Gulftainer GT USA and the Canaveral Port Authority will unveil GT USA’s cargo container terminal at Port Canaveral. We are reaching out to all, including vets who will protest with us, to stand with us for the protection of our national security nexus... Nuclear subs, Trident, our Navy, US Air Force, NASA — and our quality of life.

Why? Because in a secret agreement (Project Pelican) after donations to Bill Clinton and the firing of the CEO of Port Canaveral, a new CEO was installed who signed a 35-year lease to the Jafar brothers of the UAE, owners of Crescent Corporation, parent of Gulftainer. Gulftainer was found in Port Umm Qasr, Iraq, to be shipping illegal weapons for Iran to the Badr Brigade in Iraq, according to an official spoken to from a coalition embassy in Iraq.

Not only must we must protest against a company that shipped weapons to the terrorist that killed our American soldiers, Gulftainer (GT-USA) negotiated a sweetheart deal in secret with the Canaveral Port Authority without asking for input from local residents/taxpaying citizens who will be negatively impacted with a proposed rail line to transport containers out of Port Canaveral. Residents do NOT want an environmentally sensitive area impacted with a rail yard and trains that will traverse beside their homes over the ecologically sensitive Indian and Banana River lagoons. Stand with us against leasing Port Canaveral to a foreign company, one who shipped weapons to terrorists and has shown no regard for the local environment and its citizens.

Protest to take place Friday morning, JUNE 12 at three Port-vicinity locations:

9:30 - 10:00

* Overpass at Cape Canaveral flyover above Port entrance (where SR 528 BEACHLINE becomes SR A1A)

10:45 - Noon

* SR 401 and Grouper Road

* Boats inside harbor in front of Gulftainer Container Terminal (West Turning Basin) for those who have marine craft. It would be impressive to have a parade of boats.

Please bring signs bearing message you want to convey, colorful balloons (red/white/blue?), and American Flags.

Wear sunscreen, parasols or umbrellas (there’s no shade in any of these locations), water, food, and any other comfort items you might need.) Let’s make it as colorful as possible to gain public and MEDIA attention.

Any questions or comments should be directed to me at the above email address.

Stand with us!

I vaguely remember this Clinton fiasco and, like everything else that affects America, got shuffled away and forgotten

Protests do nothing ... sabotage does a lot.

"I vaguely remember this Clinton fiasco"

I remember when China was going to take over the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in California

The above is what I am guessing it's all about.

I wouldn't want trains running right past my house either. That's why I bought 90 acres and built my house 500' from the closest property line.

One place where I used to live, a giant trucking warehouse was built about 1/4 mile from my house, and the 18 wheelers started driving past, a couple an hour, all day long. I viewed this as an unfortunate circumstance, but not a "NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS", and I organized no NIMBY protests.

I DO consider it a NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS! Consider our National Security INFRASTRUCTURE at Port Canaveral:
~NASA Kennedy Space Center and Visitor Complex
~Patrick Air Force Base
~Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
~U.S. Navy TRIDENT Submarine Base(Trident Turning Basin)
~Top Secret Air Force Space Plane
~National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) spy satellites
~Space X resupply missions to the International Space Station
~Space X Falcon 9 Rocket
~NASA ORION deep space capsule project and test launches
~United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy Rocket
~United Launch Alliance Atlas V Rocket
~Nuclear Submarines Resupply operations
~Lockheed Martin Fleet Ballistic Missile Eastern Ranger Operations
~Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) Seismic, hydrocoustic, and satellite monitoring of nuclear treaty signatory nations
~Air Force Space Command/45th Space Wing
~Air Force 920th Rescue Wing (Combat Search and Rescue)
~Craig Technologies Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing Center
~Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)
~U.S. Coast Guard Station Port Canaveral
~Department of Homeland Security - Customs andBorder protection
~Numerous Defense Contractors (Too numerous to list including Boeing)

This is obviously a National Security Issue and everyone should be concerned IMHO.

So if Gulftainer was replaced by an all-American company, with conservative, pro-military leadership, and -that- company wanted to build the rail yard, would you be OK with it?

Environmental impact is not my chief concern. Would you be okay with putting German or Japaneese prisoners of war to work in Boeing, Grumman, Glenn L. Martin, or Curtiss during World War Two?Placing such a vital national security installation as Port Canaveral DELIBERATELY in DANGER is my concern and should be the concern oif every red blooded American citizen.
