U.S. Central Command Public Affairs ^ | 6/13/2019 10:20:00 PM | Capt. Bill Urban

Posted on 06/13/2019 8:48:19 PM PDT by gandalftb

...twenty-one sailors from the M/T Kokuka Courageous who had abandoned their ship after discovering a probable unexploded limpet mine on their hull...

At 4:10 p.m. local time an IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) Gashti Class patrol boat approached the M/T Kokuka Courageous and was observed and recorded removing the unexploded limpet mine from the M/T Kokuka Courageous (video attached).

The United States has no interest in engaging in a new conflict in the Middle East. However, we will defend our interests.

AJS (4TH HOUR) THURSDAY 6/13/19: ROBERT BARNES, MATT BRACKEN, NEWS & ANALYSIS
(I come in at about 30 minutes into this video, talking about the SEAL-type frogman attack that I believe happened with the tankers. Includes video of Swimmer Delivery Vehicles similar to what I believe launched the attacks.)

Yes, they ride at anchor awaiting their scheduled times.

There is nothing easier for frogmen to hit than anchored ships. And with a half-moon, finding them is easy.

Tons of photos here of Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs) similar to what I believed launched the tanker limpet attacks.

I'll answer you with what I was writing to mewzilla earlier:

The Deep State Globalist Elites always have eyes on the Middle East/Israel and the U.S. for one reason... to take down Judeo Christians and their God... (just like their forefathers, the occultic Nazis with their demonic hatred of the Jews and Lutherans and Christians in general.)

These Elites are “gaming the Bible”, or at least that's what Condi/George W Bush said they were doing when Bush told Jacques Chirac “they had to invade Iraq because of Gog and Magog in the Bible”.

Note all the Deep State attention to Syria. This is because they are gaming the ancient Biblical prophecy about Damascus coming to a sudden and everlasting end at some point. Iran is ancient Persia in the Bible.

And don't forget the Deep State Bushes Neocons have genocided almost a million Christians in Iraq since the invasion.

I truly believe these insane Elites are gaming the Bible with their faulty interpretations of it (like George W Bush's) without understanding that you cannot properly interpret God's word if you don't believe in God in the first place.

In other words, we need to take comfort that God will have the last laugh. God Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be “gamed” and He sits in the Heavens and laughs, in derision, at these rich men of the earth who are trying to rewrite God's order.

That's from Psalm 2, here:

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

I am responding to your post to me in the recently pulled thread.

What you call critical thinking is not. You jump to a conspiracy conclusion and disregard evidence to the contrary when your conspiracy theory has no evidence.

This is not about the deep state trying to unseat POTUS. This is Iranian nutjobs doing what they always do. They start proxy wars in Syria, in Yemen, and against Israel via Hamas and Hezbala. They are the Barbary pirates of our day and they need to meet the same fate.

Don’t try to distract from the argument with global warming BS. No I don’t believe in any of that BS either.

But you nutters need to understand that Islamic threats are not about politics and our volunteer military men and the surveillance systems we use are a class above the Obama appointees hiding in the bureaucracy of state department and other agencies.

Oh by the way, did you see that Iran has taken hostage a crew of one of the vessels today? Was that a CIA plot too?

You conspiracy nutters are dangerous idiots at time, and this is one of those times. Stop being a nutjob. Focus on the plot against POTUS, and support our efforts to put an end to Islamic terrorist that really do want to kill you.

“U.s. ships will track the Iranians going back to harbor. Duh.”

And patrol aircraft and drones etc.

The Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman are no bigger than Lake Michigan.

Likely we can prove, if so needed, the port that boat originated from and to which it returned.

Then there’s the Freeper group who contends it was a Saudi mine and the Iranians were just doing a public service by removing it.

I don’t know what one does about those deluded fools.

So you are saying that you don’t want people to think critically about possibility of false flags run by militaries, even though it’s an ancient tactic in the art of war?

Who or what entity is off limits to being capable of conspiring together in secret to gain power, in your estimation?

Are you a Christian? I mean do you believe what the Bible says about a Global elite who will institute a one world government, one world economy and a one world religion, by force of the antichrist(ian) sword?

“a check around the ‘net shows that basically nobody believes this story”

Actually, it’s only conspiracy nuts who should be under a doctor’s care. So blinded by their delusions and hatred of the US military they cannot accept the sure evidence of a video released to the scrutiny of the world.

Their cognitive dissonance forces them to defend a fantasy to their last breath, while those around them point and laugh.

Your good at changing the conversation topic with left field questions. Read my profile.

I think you just made my nutter list.

Good info about wht the mine is above the waterline. And tankers are by design and cargo more bouyant than most vessels being loaded with lighter than water petroleum. Think back to the UK’s WW1 Qships. Armed decoys packed with cork to allow them to stay afloat after a torpedo hit.

I belated am not buying the WMDs in Iraq narrative Bush’s neocons were shoving down our throats.

Surprisingly that was actually the half truth.

Saddam did have wmds. We knew exactly what he had. We were the ones that sold them to him.

*** I’ve seen that one before - from people who explicitly call themselves Nazis.

If you have a way to differentiate your position from theirs, let’s hear it. ***

Oh, brother. Yes, when I’m not being Putin’s Butt Boy, an Assadist, or a Communist, I’m busy being a Nazi.

Just trying to shake you from your circa mid-1980’s cognitive dissonance.

Regarding your profile quote or motto... Jesus would remind you that he who lives by the sword, dies by it.

Terror is evil. But America has sponsored the same terror that you decry... think John McCain. Or how we basically allowed Benghazi, and allowed the genocide of a million Christians in Iraq since the invasion. We have funded Palestinians.

My quarrel with you is that I see you shutting people down instead of allowing people to think through these potentially staged events and false flags.

Even Notre Dam was a staged event. Don’t forget that fake video of a “bin laden” running through the balcony during the fire.

Why are the mines planted above the water line? Obviously they attached them to the ship during high tide

I haven’t added to my nutter list in a while, but Sontagged crossed the threshold with this thread and the one that was pulled. thoughtomater is in a very close second.

Judging from his posts, Sontagged finds Iran’s mullahs more credible than the US Navy

What did Saddam have that were classified as WMDs?

Was it like what Condi Rice said about the WMDs in Syria... which were made of sodium fluoride?
