George Webb:"There was an important article written by a great journalist about the Gulftainer Corporation which is this UAE corporation that manages all these ports in the U.S. Port Canaveral, I think of being the first one. The article basically says, 'What could possibly go wrong?'(Center for Security Policy). The article cites that not only the UAE managing US ports, but one of the key individuals is the chief nuclear scientist for Iran [see image of pdf report
Now you take a very large ship which you can hide fissionable material in there, and then you have one of the people on the board being an Iranian nuclear scientist - which is a terrorist nation, it sets the stage for a potential terrorist event. Again, we shared that information, but we did not, still at this point, call the Coast Guard.
The Gulftainer information with the Iranian scientist, the Awan Brothers with all of their ties to Pakistani ISI - we just presented that information.
Now, someone through the fleet application (online search site) said they - I believe it was Joe Napoli said 'hey, the Maersk is actually eight minutes outside of Charleston, South Carolina.' Then somebody gave the long/lat of the ship location. I said that sounds like it's pretty darn close to Fort Sumter which is out in Charleston Harbor - I've taken the tour, it's a very good tour, you should take it. It turns out, that is where it was.
So, again, we did not call the Coast Guard in the Port of Charleston. Two other individuals watching the show called the Port the Coast Guard just to alert them that the Maersk was coming in and there may be potential issues with the Maersk.
They only called after we said two things. Look for an Awan Brothers shipment in the Bill of Lading through import genius (online search app) - so very defined - and then we also said look for what's called a 'diplomatic cover' or what they call a 'diplomatic pouch'. Even though, you think of as like a FedEx pouch now it's the size of an entire shipping container. They've expanded it over time to now say you can have an entire container as a diplomatic pouch. And what that diplomatic pouch means is you can't - Customs can't pierce the veil of diplomatic pouch. So even if they did search the vessel, which I think blew up the search far beyond the very targeted, laser focused recommendations we had. Even if they did find a diplomatic container - they could not open it. "
PING!!!

Excellent piece very well done.
Jason Goodman:
Was it a DUI or was it not ?George Webb:...It was not. I will say this - my car was off. The keys were in the center console. So I was trying to meet with a source. I was trying to meet with the source for the NADRA program not NADRA specifically but at the joint Spectrum Center in Columbus Ohio. I had reason to believe I had two contacts in Zanesville. I said that when I went into Zanesville. I was meeting with one of them. Most of the night the law enforcement official, the second one I was trying to meet. I had been given in, I went into the hotel. I came back out to my car. I was given an indication that the person wanted me to follow them. I followed. I went and the car you know I was in the hunt I was in the kind of hot pursuit of the story. I had been sending signals earlier in the day, please let's get together. It's kind of the end of the day. It's early in the morning actually. I went about maybe half a mile and then I said up I'm not going to drive anymore. I'm not going to chase this person. I'm going to park this car. I'm going to turn off the engine and I put the keys in the console.Jason Goodman:So is there any breathalyzer involved?George Webb:Well, I refused the breathalyzer and the reason why I did refuse the breathalyzer was it's not relevant. I wasn't - what the judge told me today was you were not you're not - there's no law against sleeping in your car. Jason Goodman:So, why did they do that, why...George Webb:Well , you know, when, I believe when the officer rolled up, you know, he basically - I rolled the window down. You know, he said have you've been drinking? - you know, I'm not going to answer that question right now. But, I do - one of the experiences I have learned from this is if you show any weaknesses and and that is probably my Achilles heel right? -that they will they will be exploited. Exploit. Exploit. Exploit. And it just so happens it was a day before me going to Joint Spectrum Center which was really the last piece of the puzzle and I just want to let all folks know that regardless of what happens with it with my future I plead I pled not guilty and what it regardless what happens with the future trial date I made the decision to discontinue the use of alcohol just for the sheer fact that it is Achilles heel that can be easily be exploited.
