Salazar crossed the line and his life should no longer be allowed

New rules mean there can be new rules

How can you tell Zero is lying? He's breathing!

With each and every breath he takes he continuously lies.

[mellow velo]

The only word for what Salazar has done is FRAUD.

Let's add a 2nd word to the mix.

FORGERY: The making, drawing, or altering a document with the intent to defraud.

FORGERY: The making, drawing, or altering a document with the intent to defraud.

Exactly right. I skipped too quickly to the fraud result from the forgery. Sounds like this guy must have been learning at the feet of the IPCC folks who wrote the executive summaries.

NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers

Yeah, but Salazar is not an engineer so these ethics are not for him.

I think we are seeing step 2 at the moment. But it definitely explains why they want our guns. You cannot have step three until the 2nd Amendment is repealed.

“The U.S. is not going to allow someone to be in international waters near territorial waters unless they have our permission or are our citizens. The whole national security thing comes into play.”

But our administration supports terrorists sailing into Israeli ports.

Go figure.

Obama administration caught in a another blatant lie.

Yet the state run media will never report this. If they ever do, this boob is toast.

[old curmudgeon]

A long read but it lists many circumstances in which a government can claim control over vessels in international waters.

Basically, if I read it correctly, if such vessel or property is owned by or operated by US citizens or in any other way has a claim to US ownership, it is ruled by US law.

I am not going to dig for the law on leases, but I would suspect there are also clauses in those contracts.

How one leases something in international waters, I have no idea but I suspect that is interesting.

Sorry, but I forgot to include the link:

Caught in ANOTHER bald-faced lie!

[Gritty]

No surprise here.

Nobody in this Administration tells the truth about ANYTHING!

The more I see from 0zeromumbojumbo and his leftist minions the more disgusted I become...

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar... claimed that a panel of seven experts selected by the National Academy of Engineering had peer reviewed his report. It turns out, though, that the seven experts never saw the recommendation for a moratorium, and in fact oppose it
