Obama Donates 7 Alaska Islands to Putin for Zero Dollars
This is what our beloved president Obama has done in 2012 for America so far this year. This was just sent to me, and got very little press to keep it unknown from the American public. Please read the following to see what is happening. Why is he getting away with all of this?
Is there a "REST OF THE STORY"?
This article onFeb. 16, 2012 appears in very few places...Apparently, the regular "professional reporters" consider Obama giving away islands belonging to Alaska and part of the United States as no big deal. Obama is giving these islands to Russia for free, no cost, zero money or any other consideration. Guess what? The state legislature in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted several times in opposition to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil companies lease parts of the islands and start drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect Obama was trying to sneak this by...? Why??
Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabed surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia . Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by Pres. Obama or Sec. Clinton. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy! The State of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands , named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States . He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington , and Congress awarded them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island , Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia .
Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it. Also see Link 1,2 below

OBAMA'S GIVEAWAY: OIL-RICH ISLANDS TO RUSSIA
Exclusive: Joe Miller sounds alarm over deal to put land in hands of Putin's Kremlin
Published: 02/16/2012 at 7:55 PM
By Joe Miller
The Obama administration, despite the nation’s economic woes, effectively killed the job-producing Keystone Pipeline last month. The Arab Spring is turning the oil production of Libya and other Arab nations over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iraq is distancing itself from the U.S. And everyone recognizes that Iran, whose crude supplies are critical to the European economy, will do anything it can to frustrate America ’s strategic interests. In the face of all of this, Obama insists on cutting back U.S. oil potential with outrageous restrictions.
Part of Obama’s apparent war against U.S. energy independence includes a foreign-aid program that directly threatens my state’s sovereign territory. Obama’s State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin.
The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.

Q: Is President Obama giving away several Alaskan islands to Russia?
A: No. The U.S. has never claimed ownership of the islands identified in viral emails and websites. They lie far closer to the coast of Siberia than to Alaska.0 -
Maybe we can be a example to China and Japan right now.0

a good read. Its scary to think what Obama really meant during his "open mic moment" when he was caught begging Medvedev to urge Putin to "give him more time",, b/c he would " have more flexibility after the election"....

Its more complicated that that. Parts are true- and none of its good.

About that? Nothing. Saying the islands were closer to Siberia than Alaska doesn't mean we haven't controlled the rich natural resources in and around them.
Now we don't. If you're cool with that, great.
Im not.0 -
As long as Palin is on one of those Islands..I dont see your point0

So let's quote directly from the Alaska Court's decision [issued in response to the question of whether four of the disputed arctic islands were subject to state jurisdiction (for the purposes recording real property)]:
"The question of sovereignty over the Arctic Islands is a subject committed to the executive and legislative branches of the United States government. See United States v. Louisiana, 363 U.S. 1, 35 (1960). Until and unless the United States government indicates that the Arctic Islands are part of the State of Alaska, the State has no duty to accept for recording documents affecting title to real property on the islands."
http://touchngo.com/sp/html/sp...
In other words, the Alaska Court punted to the feds. The Alaska Courts made no findings of fact on the issue.
As to the State Department's "fact sheet", of course it's going to publish something that supports what it secretly negotiated in the unratified Maritime Agreement. Ignore the ship captains' logs, ignore the longitudinal line specifically described in the 1867 Treaty, etc. I don't see any evidence, cites, etc. in the State Department's self-serving "fact sheet" narrative that would convince any lawyer, from Yale or otherwise, that the we should ignore the giveaway.
Finally, I think it's critically important to not forget that the Alaska was never given a seat the table during the negotiations that resulted in the unratified Maritime Agreement. The Alaska legislature repeatedly complained about this but to no avail.
