Saudi-born US naval engineer allegedly gave undercover agent info on how to sink carrier
Fox News ^ | December 06, 2014

A Naval engineer is facing charges that he gave an FBI undercover agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer secret documents about the new Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier while discussing how to sink the vessel with a missile.

Mostafa Ahmed Awwad, 35, of Yorktown, Va., was arrested Friday on an FBI affidavit that reads like it came from a Tom Clancy novel.

Federal prosecutors in Virginia say that during his conversations with the undercover, Awwad arranged to use a dead-drop location along a secluded hiking trail to pass secrets about the Ford, which is being built in Virginia for delivery to the Navy in 2016.

The affidavit says that at a hotel meeting on Oct. 9 Awwad gave the undercover drawings of the aircraft carrier that he said were top secret. During the meeting, "Awwad discussed where to strike the vessel with a missile in order to sink it," the affidavit says.

The FBI undercover was posing as an Egyptian spy named "Yousef" and spoke to Awwad in Arabic.

See, that’s the problem with us Americans - we’re getting soft.

1. Have some of our naval personnel take him below deck to see and aircraft carrier close up. While he’s there, have a chat with him about who he’s working with (and I don’t care how you get the answers).

2. When you’re done, I’d suggest a public test with this person standing down range...

... from a navy rail gun. And let dirty pigs have what’s left of him.

3. Yeah, I am getting pretty soft these days.

That will be in the next hire and the final determining factor since there are no native born engineers apparently.

The only imports we should take in are females ages 17-28 that are hot, matters not their race. No males at all.

Nope he won't be there. He's civilian unfortunately. He will likely get a federal pen. He's a Naval Engineer hired by the Navy. He was not a Navy Engineer meaning that he was not a commissioned Navy Engineering Officer.

The only question is this: will they give him the Bergdahl or the Manning treatment. Apparently Obama is soft on treason.

At some point you’ll need to purge a lot of ME nationals.

It’s a continuum. From coed sub crews to diversity programs to spying, the goal is to destroy America. We’re the last country to rely on common law. The rest of the world’s law comes from the state/elites/rulers.

The man should have never been even allowed inside the gates of the shipyard even with uniformed escort. He should have never been allowed any job directly involving national security facilities not even as a janitor.

Despite the Residents EO the Two Man Rule for above confidential classified material & Need To Know protocols should have prevented his access to any information he wanted even in a civilian work environment.

All spaces below second deck on a carrier are classified at least confidential. Heck a Conventional Machinist Mate training manual was labeled Confidential I'm certain of that and I've seen them in second hand book stores. Even crew members can't just pick a space and enter without permission. For example Conventionals still required a Vital Area Badge for entry into machinery spaces. Trying to get a peek-a-boo at a weapons magazine would jet your head blown off by Marine Sentry posted at the hatch. The mission critical departments onboard took security serious. Not even the ships Master At Arms could enter "The Hole" without permission.

I went in most spaces on ship due to the nature of my jobs but places that had classified documents required permission and an escort at all times. IOW if I had gone into Main Comm for a high temperature trouble call they had to first lock up the paperwork, cover operating gear, and then let me in and follow me around. A trouble call to the Brig wasn't fun either. For the magazines only a handful of Snipes had needed clearance to enter if they were loaded.

I think this what he told the Saudis about to sink a U.S. carrier:

1. Get the Navy to accept openly gay and transgender people.
2. Wait.

You still have the issue of cultural inequivilancy and incompatibility with them too. I don’t care how hot they are, IMO we should have shit the border about 50 years ago.

People who argue otherwise will paint you as a “racist”, but a nation with “diversity” will never survive. History is my witness. Complain about it all you want, but in the end multi-ethnic nations either destroy or divest themselves

What is the big secret here? An aircraft carrier is a huge floating metal box housing a nuclear reactor supplying 1920’s technology steam propulsion plant with a large flat roof where planes can take off and land.

"This country will rue the day we decided to open up our borders to browns, arabs, and anybody else not of Judeo-Christian Western Culture."

What is a brown? That's neo-nazi lingo you're using. You obviously see an opportunity to spread your hate on this site. Let me give you a clue, there is no such thing as race, it's a made-up thing, used to divide people. Is that your game?

I only hope the people of FR are wise enough to not allow themselves to be manipulated by the likes of you. Unfortunately I have seen my share of long-time posters jumping on the bandwagon.

By the way, my skin color is brown.
