I found the following back in September 2001 (source will be posted in my next post):

" In 1997, in an extremely sophisticated operation developed over a period of many years, members of the intelligence branch of the Iranian army, Ossama bin Laden and senior members of the extremely lethal international terrorist organization al Qai'da successfully smuggled an Iranian submarine containing several nuclear bombs into the US.

" They began by purchasing a large piece of river-front property along the Willamette river in what used to be a pre-colonial Russian community called New Era., Oregon. I grew up in that area, but I had never associated that long-ago abandoned community with Hitler's infamous 1936 World Olympics speech declaring a 'New Era' ushering in a new Nazi world order. This is a concept close to (what in normal human beings is) the heart for bin Laden and his legion of insane murderers.

" There was an old cedar shake mill on this land, replete with a large mill pond used to park and sort large rafts of cedar logs brought down the Willamette river. After purchasing this land, they then proceeded to fill in that small lake, surreptitiously bringing in two ocean-going barges during the night, sinking them, and covering them up. Mohammad Astarki, (I knew him only as Gary Tour), an agent of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) hinted that they had received a grant from the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to pay for the costs. Their next step was to begin the long-term task of turning these barges into submarine bays, complete with two levels of living quarters, enough room to house a small village.

" They had purchased an ocean-going tug company, with three large tugboats, and included with their purchase were contracts for dredging the Willamette and Columbia rivers, and hauling in limestone and other products from Canada. When all of their interrelated tasks and their usual plethora of backup plans were in place an Iranian Submarine carrying a number of nuclear bombs began its long journey to the US. They entered US territory at the Columbia River, and navigated upriver to the mouth of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. It was then only another 20 miles upriver on the Willamette to their huge submarine bay, complete with two upper-story housing levels large enough to hold a small village. I have knowledge of the arrival of this submarine due to the fact that my family and I lived in a mobile home which sat above the submarine bay, and we were there when the submarine arrived. Those readers who have faced an extreme life-threatening situation before will have an idea of what this was like. "

I'm having a hard time with that one. Sinking two barges and no one noticed? I appreciate you posting it. As someone else on this thread said, "we are brainstorming here". Are you familar with New Era, Oregon? Isn't it right by Canby and 99E? What is your take on this article/website?

Are you familiar with this area? Do you know anything about this? Sounds like a stretch to me, but, wondering if you or anyone else has ever been to New Era and what they saw.

Hmmm, thanks for the scare. I just drove right by there. I wasn't familiar with New Era, but I see on Yahoo Maps that it is a few miles SW of Oregon City. I do know that there is a concentration of Russians in the general area, so that part of the story sounds about right. But there is no source for this story, just a website with no contact information. Not very credible, but interesting to think about.
