I found this online.

It's the text of the 1991 agreement with the Soviet Union. In it, Senator Helms states clearly that the US had not (in 1991) relinquished its claim to the 5 Arctic Islands - Bennett, Henrietta, Jeannette, Wrangel and Herald Island. I strongly recommed anyone posting on this thread read Jesse Helms' remarks.

Despite the hysterical ranting of certain Bushbots on this thread, this appears to be a legitimate issue.

"Despite the hysterical ranting of certain Bushbots on this thread, this appears to be a legitimate issue."

Nonsense. The Newsmax and Worldnetdaily article(s) clearly identify Wrangell island as having Alaskan eskimoes on them who are now "Russian" citizens.

That's totally bogus no matter HOW you play it. If you pretend that Newsmax and Worldnetdaily simply misspelled the name "Wrangel" by writing "Wrangell", then you're still left to explain the eskimoes. There are any Alaskan eskimoes on the "Wrangel" rock outcropping (a former guano island, with treat-limited soveriegnty at best).

If you actually accept that they meant "Wrangell", then you've got to explain why I can still post Wrangell's chamber of commerce web site and why U.S. flights are still going there daily.

From your article:

"Americans Become Russians
Olson notes that the Census Bureau, with the approval of the State Dept., has just stripped Americans of their citizenship.

Consider the inhabitants of Wrangell Island, the largest of eight disputed islands – five lying in the Arctic Ocean and three in the Bering Sea.

Geographically speaking, the island’s inhabitants would also be citizens of the state of Alaska since no other American state comes even close to the proximity of the islands.

But if anyone desired to visit Wrangell Island, they would be greeted not by the Stars and Stripes waving proudly in the brisk air but by a Russian military tower."

No Child, no matter how you play this off in your pathetic classes, it ain't a legitimate issue.

If you claim "Wrangell" then you can't explain why there is no Russian guard tower on that Alaskan island or why their U.S. chamber of commerce web site is still online.

If you claim "Wrangel" then you can't explain the dearth of Alaskan eskimoes (per the article for this thread), the lack of Guano Treaty applicability (the only potential shot at having any U.S. sovereignty there), or the Russian wildlife refuge there.

In short, you are DEBUNKED!

Nor are you the first to fall. This whole charade was hashed out here on FR in great detail more than 3 years ago already!

Thus, you've fallen for a debunked re-hash. That's like falling for an email scam like "the gangs will get you if you flash your high beams at them on the highway" years after such nonsense has already been exposed.
