While it might seem like an unusual morphing of the movies Inside Man and The Hunt for Red October, the account of the cargo ship Arctic Sea is far stranger than either fictional account. Based on information developed through our extensive investigation, we can authoritatively state, without hyperbole, that the mysteries surrounding the MV Arctic Sea are as deep as the Atlantic waters where it navigated and its “alleged” secret cargo as potentially dangerous to an unsuspecting, distracted populace as the coastal rip tides produced by a late summer hurricane. Imagine a 4,000 ton, 100 meter commercial cargo ship, manned by a crew of 15, equipped with an automatic identification system (AIS), a satellite navigation beacon, and state of the art communication equipment, including satellite phones and the cellular telephones of the crew, laden with $1.2 - $1.8 million of cut lumber and manned by a crew of 15, suddenly and inexplicably “disappearing completely off the grid” for two weeks - allegedly at the hands of eight-(8) hijackers or “pirates.” Now, imagine the pirate attack of this low value target taking place in a busy transit area that has not seen an act of piracy since the 17th century.

That’s what reportedly transpired with the Arctic Sea, a Russian managed commercial cargo ship sailing under a Maltese flag and owned by the Finnish company Arctic Sea Ltd. The Russian management is from a sister company based in the Russian city of Arkhangelsk that reportedly provides “technical support” to the company and its sole vessel. Arkhangelsk is also the home of the 15 man crew of the Arctic Sea...

I think our own, the British or even Israeli commandos boarded the ship. Confirmed the presence of nuclear cargo, which was even transported to another ship or thrown overboard.

There is no way, that this was simply a ship carrying timber.

Interesting report....turning off the AIS, and the Sat position transponder, doesn’t require hi tech knowledge, but being aware what the equipment transmits does require situational awareness....then to spoof the AIS by a Russian warship does require technical knowledge....

Terrorists have used aircraft to carry out their agenda, so I would guess that cargo ship loaded with a nuclear device, is well within the realm of a possibility

T HomelandSecurityUS website has an interesting article pertaining to the BO Birth Cert titled:
‘Threats, media manipulation on Obama eligibility - We have proof’. Wonder which major talk radio host the article alleged was threatened in Oct 08?

Link to Article (this fixes the broken link) Fascinating stuff!

For those who think that the "bad old Soviets" went away, here is a very well researched and sobering book -- Shadow World (this is a must-read) -- look at the resurgence of the same forces by another name in a Russia also willing to make expedient alliances with Islamo-Fascists and the New Left in North and South America.

I believe that article was posted here a few weeks ago. It surely would be nice to know all of the details!

“There is no way, that this was simply a ship carrying timber.”

I got horses, I got cows, I got goats, I got sheep.
I got all livestock, I got all livestock, I got all livestock.
