The Obamas, Cocaine and the Lady Michelle

Weird.

[Don Corleone]

Connected or disconnected????

[Dixie Yooper]

Somehow, Suzanne(the writer) forgot to tie Obama to the huge drug bust in her article... Misleading headline, sloppy story telling or both?

[bgill]

We knew it was wide but 70' is huge.

[Lady Heron]

This has been on YouTube for a week or so now but no real proof that any of it is true and no explanation of how Obama is supposedly tied to it. Not sure I would have done an article off a You Tube video without further intel.

[liberalh8ter]

Until someone is able to directly tie the bust to Obama, I really don't see his connection. If the FBI were trying to interview him for something and he is evading attempts, could they not go to Congress and yank his Secret Service protection until he cooperates?

[wbarmy]

Please forgive my ignorance, but what does the bust of a ship in the Caribbean have to do with President Obama in Tahiti, the South Pacific? He does not have any connection with the boat. So why would the FBI want to talk to him about it?

[Joe Boucher]

ya gots to know when she backs up there is a loud beep beep beep sound.

[Vendome]

The article never makes a connection to Obama.

What is the point of the title?

[fella]

"Misleading headline, sloppy story telling or both?"

More likely she just wants to stay among the living.

[fso301]

Is the author geographically aware? Hussein is reportedly exiled in French Polynesia... which is in the Pacific. St. Vincent is an island in the Caribbean. How are a Caribbean island, a smuggling ship having the same name as hussein’s beard and Polynesia linked?

[dangerdoc]

I think the point of the title is click-bait, they got me.

[Vendome]

Not me.

If it looks like something interesting I TOR or use a convenient anonymous.

Then they can’t turn on all those effin videos while I’m trying to read and they can’t see me either...

[ChildOfThe60s]

This is gobbledygook. Why did TCT even post it?

[dangerdoc]

It made me click the FR button.

I don’t like going to adware/flying ad sites either.

[libstripper]

Looks like both. The only connection seems to the name of the boat, Miss Michelle. The boat apparently was seized in the western hemisphere while Obola was off cavorting about 6,000 miles away. Also, there's no explanation of why the FBI wanted to interview him. Probably was due to Obamagate/Rissiagate, not this drug bust. Before this story even makes sense the author needs to clean it up by showing some connection, no mater how vague, between Obola's whereabouts and the boat's location. Also, we need an explanation of why the FBI apparently wanted to interview him and what, if anything, he did to avoid the interview. Story's so sloppy it shouldn't have been published.

All within the first paragraph:

First sentence:

An alleged refusal by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAEDI) to allow the FBI's special attaché for international relations to interview former President Barack Obama in French Polynesia is getting internet coverage but virtually no narrative in America's media.

Next two sentences:

The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Joseph Napier interdicted the fishing vessel "Lady Michelle" in international waters near St. Vincent Island by zapping its electronic navigation system and rendering it "dead in the water." Four smugglers and contraband including approximately $125 million US dollars in seized cocaine were offloaded into American custody in San Juan, Puerto Rico as DEA and other U.S. authorities piece together what went on.

The author then makes no effort to connect these two stories together. So, what's the purpose of the article?

[Scrambler Bob]

approximately $125 million US dollars in seized cocaine
= = =

They reported this amount.

It was more, but to save ink and printing expenses, the amount was ‘economized’.
