UKPA: Workers Taken off Gas Leak Platform!

Shell is removing workers from offshore installations close to a Total platform which has been evacuated after a gas leak. The leak on the Elgin PUQ platform, about 150 miles off the coast of Aberdeen, led to the evacuation of all 238 workers. Total E&P UK (TEP UK), which operates the platform, said it was taking "all possible measures" to try to identify the source and cause of the leak, and to bring it under control. It has been confirmed that there is a sheen on the water in the vicinity of the platform and Oil Spill Response (OSRL) have carried out two aerial surveillance flights to assess the situation. Shell said it is removing 85 staff from its Shearwater platform and the nearby Noble Hans Deul drilling rig as a precautionary measure. They are around four nautical miles (4.6 miles) from the Elgin platform. Drilling operations on the Noble Hans Deul rig have been suspended and the wells have been left in a safe state, Shell said. A Shell spokesman said: "While the move is purely a precautionary and primarily driven by the prevailing weather conditions, both facilities remain operational, it has been decided to reduce numbers to a more manageable level until the full situation surrounding the Elgin leak has been established." Shell said it is removing 52 workers from Shearwater, leaving 38 on board, while 33 are being taken off the Hans Deul, leaving 79 on board. Following the discovery of the leak on Sunday, 219 staff were evacuated from the Elgin platform. Nineteen core crew were initially left on board, but were taken off overnight and flown to Aberdeen. There have been no reports of any injuries.   

ATLAH Preacher Urges Christians to cover Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Maricopa County, AZ, Sheriff Joe Arpaio is of ATLAH Media Network. Manning is the preacher who previously proclaimed that Oprah Winfrey is the anti-Christ. Winfrey, President Barack Obama and Dr Jeremiah Wright orchestrated "the Trinity of Hell," according to Manning. Arpaio, at the behest of WorldNetDaily, launched an "investigation" into Obama's birth certificate and recently demanded a Selective Service System investigation into the president's selective service registration card. The Fogbow has a running report that debunks Arpaio's claims. Meanwhile, WorldNetDaily is complaining that there is a "media blackout" of Arpaio's "bombshell" findings. Squarely in the WorldNetDaily camp, ATLAH's Manning claims that Obama is using a fake Social Security number and fake birth certificate, adding that he thought Arpaio is in danger for his investigation: I'm at this moment calling upon all noble citizens and patriots to encamp and encircle Sheriff Joe Arpaio in prayer. The matter of his now having the authority of an official and law enforcement officer now pursuing this matter we know how dangerous the world is. According to Manning, "we are closer to revealing who Obama is" than ever, and if Arpaio's efforts fail,"those of us who are birthers are going to end up in jail" and "America is going to go to hell." Manning led his followers in prayer, explaining to Jesus why Obama is a tyrant, and why angels must encircle Arpaio and all other birthers!     

The Intel Hub: Full Scale Effort to Steal Ron Paul Delegates!

Doug Wead, a senior adviser to the Ron Paul Campaign, has exposed the fact that a GOP establishment director in Washington State has publicly made the claim that the Romney-Gingrich-Santorum campaigns have united to steal delegates from Ron Paul. "Thanks to the proliferation of cell phones you will hear Alex Hayes, director of mainstream Republicans of Washington State, making the claim that the Romney-Santorum-Gingrich campaigns have united behind a common slate of candidates in Washington State to block the Ron Paul machine from winning the delegates. The apparent move on the part of the Romney-Santorum-Gingrich campaigns is to block citizens favoring Ron Paul from taking over the Washington State delegation to Tampa," wrote Wead. Sadly this is not just happening in Washington State rather it has been documented across many parts of the country. In Georgia, GOP rules were completely ignored during their caucus: A list of rules that we know were violated: Delegates of the convention attempted to nominate people from the floor, yet were summarily ignored without vote by the chairman. The Athens Clarke County precinct delegates were disenfranchised by Matt Brewster, Chairman, and the county convention was closed without majority and without the proper respect to the procedural process as outlined in our party rules and Robert's Rules of Order. The initial "all in favor" request did not give a chance for the "ayes" and the "nays" to be voiced at the same time. The count of the "ayes" versus the "nays" was inaccurate. According to our count, 25 of the 37 people in attendance were Ron Paul supporters, and did not vote "aye" when a voice vote was called for. Bryan Spencer, the former St Charles County Republican Central Committeeman and Caucus Subcommittee Chairman in Missouri openly admitted to premeditated fraud.

The Telegraph: North Korea Begins Fuelling Satellite

North Korea has begun fueling a rocket for a launch condemned by the West as a banned missile test, a Japanese newspaper reported, citing a source "close to the government" in Pyongyang. "The launch is coming closer. The possibility is high that the launch date will be set for April 12 or 13," the source said, according to the Tokyo Shimbun in a report from Seoul. It cited the source as saying that North Korea had begun injecting liquid fuel into the rocket. The paper also said a diplomatic source had confirmed that North Korea has moved the rocket to a launch pad in "Tongchang-ri in the country's far northwest. Japan's newspapers pay close attention to North Korea, and often lead the international media in breaking stories on the hermit state, sometimes ahead of their South Korean counterparts. The Tokyo Shimbun in particular is known for its connections with Kim Jong-Nam, the older brother of Pyongyang's new leader, Kim Jong-un. South Korea's defense ministry had no immediate comment on Thursday's report, but was scheduled to hold a press briefing later in the day. The military in Seoul said it had no information on whether the rocket was being fueled. The report came after North Korea insisted on Tuesday it would go ahead with what it insists is a satellite launch, snubbing a call from US President Barack Obama to drop the plan and accusing him of a "confrontational mindset". The United States has suspended plans to send food aid to North Korea, saying it has broken a promise to halt missile launches, and cannot be trusted to give help to those who need it, a Pentagon official said Wednesday. Under a deal reached last month, North Korea had agreed to a partial nuclear freeze and a missile test moratorium in return for US food aid.

Fredrik Dahl: Could Bombing Iran Push it to Build the Bomb?

Pre-emptive military strikes aimed at forcing Iran to abandon its nuclear activities may end up having the opposite effect: Convincing the Islamic Republic's leaders they need an atomic arsenal to secure their hold on power. That is the argument from those in the West and elsewhere, who say the negative impact of an Israeli or US attack would eventually outweigh any gains, pushing Iran towards a decision that Western intelligence services believe it has not yet been taken. "It is difficult to see a single action more likely to drive Iran into taking the final decision to acquire nuclear weapons than an attack on the country," the foreign ministers of Sweden and Finland said in an opinion piece in the New York Times. "And once such a decision is made, it would only be a matter of time before a nuclear-armed Iran became a reality," Carl Bildt and Erkki Tuomioja added. Israel says Iran's nuclear ambitions are a threat to the Jewish state's very existence, and that time is running short to stop Tehran taking the irreversible step of acquiring the bomb. But an attack may delay Iran's nuclear drive only by a few years, and would probably lead to an acceleration of the atomic program, the expulsion of UN inspectors and the Iranian people rallying around their leaders, the International CrisisGroup think-tank said in a report citing unnamed US officials. "Once UN inspectors are expelled, Iran could reconstitute its nuclear infrastructure, this time unambiguously geared to producing a bomb," ICG analyst Ali Vaez told Reuters. A similar message came from former CIA director Michael Hayden, who said the George W Bush administration had concluded that a strike on the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites was a bad idea, according to a Foreign Policy magazine blog.   

USA Thwarts Israeli Attack on Iran

In two carefully coordinated events, the USA put an end to Israel's plan to attack Iran. On March 28, 2012, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak publicly praised himself and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta: "The decision to cancel the attack was the result of contacts between the USA, the Israeli Defense Ministry and the Pentagon."At that moment, the poker game between the USA, Israel and Iran came to an abrupt end. There was no winner, but one loser: Israel. About a week ago, I published Obama Bluffs Netanyahu, just after President Obama's video appeal to the Iranian people on the occasion of Nowruz, the Persian New Year. He told them that there was "no reason for the United States and Iran to be divided from one another." This was a sharp deviation from the belligerent Israeli-American discourse in recent months. Moreover, it was a clear end to Netanyahu's desire to force the USA into attacking Iran. "Netanyahu needs a war with Iran. The only way Netanyahu could prevent a deal between between the USA and Iran is by attacking Iran before an agreement is signed, or by performing a false flag attack on American soil. Obama bluffed Netanyahu," I summarized the event. A week later, the American administration hit Israel twice. The first event was private in nature, a war -simulation conducted at the Pentagon. The second was public and brutal: the USA formally disclosed secret information about Israeli plans, which has effectively put an end to any possibility of carrying out an aerial attack on Iran by Israel. Tuesday 27, Pentagon. This Tuesday, Defense Minister Ehud Barak was a special invitee of Defense Secretary Leon Panetta at the Pentagon. He was rushed to a secure  underground bunker, where stray planes couldn't cause undesired damage. He was expecting a nice cup of coffee and maybe a piece of chocolate cake. Nothing was too shabby for him. He would show the world his nickname "Napo" (for Half-Napoleon) was undeserved.   

Brother Nathanael: Is Hillary Clinton A Zionist Shill?

Hillary Clinton's current stint as US Secretary of State, by all appearances, has all the earmarks of being a 'Jewish-run' operation. Even the seal of the US State Department affixed on every door of every office at this Bureau affords "proof-enough" that Zionist-Jewry has marked out America's foreign policy as its own exclusive turf, and had done so, quite some time ago. And now, with Hillary Clinton, a prime candidate for Zionist shillery, now in the driver's seat, the Jewish agenda that motors through every street, avenue, and curve of the State Department's policies, is running on all four gears, indeed, on overdrive. But don't take MY word for it: Hillary herself has confessed her own submission to her Zionist masters when speaking before the powerful Jewish-run Council on Foreign Relations, the CFR, at a Conference last year. In Hillary's own words: "It's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department. We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won't have this far to go to be told what we should be doing." Well, Hillary, with CFR's OWN Jewish President, Richard Haass, and Board of Directors' Jewish bankers Robert Rubin of CitiGroup/Stephen Friedman of Goldman Sachs and Hyatt Hotels Jewish heiress, Penny Pritzker, currently special adviser to Obama, what you're being "told to do" is coming STRAIGHT from the Jewish horse's mouth! Now, if you think the Jewish neocons have disappeared from the face of US policy-making, better think again: You see, just last summer, Clinton appointed Victoria Nuland as the US State Department's official spokesperson.
