Hellfire Missiles Bound For Portland Oregon Intercepted in Europe
Conservative Treehouse ^ | March 13, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 03/14/2016 9:27:28 AM PDT by detective

Corrupt progressive union officials control the ports and transit hubs of Oregon. ♦ This is the same type of missile recently admitted as being “accidentally” shipped to Cuba. ♦ In a little discussed 2014 article, the Obama administration announced they were sending 5,000 of these missiles to Iraq. ♦ Is it possible these sketchy transfers are lining up to be a similar problem evidenced in Operation Zero Footprint?

Just kidding, Portlanders! Just a little joke there. Sorry to harsh your mellow.

The missiles' documentation said their final destination was Portland, Oregon, Markovic told NBC News.

That's a little vague. Unless your mailing a letter to Santa Clause you can't just write "North Pole" or "Portland, Oregon" as your address and figure it will make it to the person who's supposed to get it. So who is really supposed to get these?

they did it with AKs in Fast & Furious, then they did it with manpads at Benghazi, and now they’re doing it with Hellfire in Lebanon.

There are many countries that operate Hellfire missiles ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-114_Hellfire#Operators

Who what and why are not proven yet. So jumping to conclusions is not helpful.

This gives me the impression that it is easier to send an air-to-surface missile around the world than it is to ship a revolver back to Ruger for repairs.

Well, who hasn’t accidentally packed a couple of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles in their luggage?

Well the serial numbers will tell who they were originally shipped to - but what's the betting we will never be told...

Maybe I’ve seen too many Alex Jones headlines but... the earlier articles said they were found by explosive sniffing dogs and were hidden inside “coffins”. Something smells

Right. Why would the dogs hit on inert dummies? I think the coffin thing may be something that didn’t translate well.

I was wondering about that too... translation or someone embellishing the story possibly. But still, Portland? is that a hub for military shipments? ...because I’ve never heard that before (meaning absolutely nothing but still). I know military ships a lot of stuff commercial, but there are just a few things about this that make is suspicious to me. I have difficulty believing anything coming from authority these days

The shipping containers that the missiles are typically stored in are called ‘coffins’ because of their shape. Learned that long ago in the air defense artillery, when the Chaparral SAMs we used were stored in crates as such.

Extrapolate this scenario into a slightly different one and it may eventually dawn on you what happened to the “missing” MH370 flight.
