Torpedo Attack on MV Limburg Causes Panic in Washington
"Invade Iraq And We'll Sink Your Tanker Fleet!"

Copyright Joe Vialls, 11 October 2002


On Friday last week, American President George W. Bush was on a roll. Driven ever faster by his Zionist masters in New York while completely ignoring discreet warnings from Russia and China, George was going to capture Middle East oil for Wall Street. Then suddenly on Sunday someone torpedoed the French supertanker Limburg in the Arabian Sea, and reality kicked back in. By late Monday an ashen-faced George Dubya was telling anyone who would listen that his much-publicized “war on Saddam” was not “inevitable” after all.
           
For nearly a month America had been quietly moving its attack forces into position. Major naval units were redirected towards the Persian Gulf while eight hundred Special Operations personnel silently deployed to the former French colony of Djibouti, located at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. The latter were moved into position to protect the “back door” to Wall Street’s new oil reserves, i.e. those being pumped though the eastern Saudi oil terminal at Yanbu. As back-up, an amphibious assault ship equipped with more troops and Harrier jump-jets was positioned off the Horn of Africa.
           
The planners thought this was a critical move, because if you plan to become the new owners and masters of the largest pumpable oil reserves on earth, you would be complete fools if you failed to protect the two very narrow waterways through which every supertanker must pass with its precious cargo of black gold. The aspiring new owners did not forget this detail, hence the intimidating display of military muscle around the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el Mandeb. Take a good long look at the map below and you will see just how critical these waters [appear] to be.

The entire operation was thrown into confusion and disarray on Sunday, when someone somewhere loaded and fired a torpedo at the supertanker Limburg as she was steaming offshore Al Mukallah in Yemen. The second officer of the Limburg “thought he saw” a very fast moving small boat flash into the starboard side of the hull, but “felt nothing and saw no explosion".  What he probably saw instead, was the white wake of the shallow 50-knot torpedo just before it impacted his ship.
           
The photos at the top of the page prove that the explosive force originated outside the ship because the steel plating around the hole is buckled inwards. And because the hole can clearly be seen to extend below the waterline, the photos proves that the explosion took place sub-surface. Because water cannot be compressed, and because explosive shock waves dissipate in milliseconds, a surface craft would only be able to inflict damage ABOVE the waterline. By direct comparison, a torpedo uses the shallow water above its point of impact like shrapnel, increasing the area of damage to the hull.
           
If you haven’t seen these photographs before, try not to be too surprised. At present there appears to be considerable censorship of this particular subject. For example, I normally use the “Daypop.com” search engine to locate recent stories and images, but this time could find no leads at all. When I keyed “limburg yemen” into Daypop I got a “zero found” response, which initially caused me to believe the search engine was offline. In order to cross check I then entered “sniper washington”, which promptly produced 284 relevant web page addresses.
           
By now some readers will probably be wondering why the submarine captain didn’t just fire a full pattern of four torpedoes and sink the Limburg completely. After all, he had a giant target right in front of him that he couldn’t miss, and there was no warship within two hundred miles. There is also the vexing question of exactly how a single torpedo strike on a single French tanker, could send the Zionist Lobbies and American Administration into such a tailspin that they effectively pulled their advanced plans to hijack Iraqi and other crude oil reserves.
           
Where the single torpedo is concerned, there is no point in sending a stern warning to Washington, if your warning “flash card” is lying hundreds of fathoms down at the bottom of the Arabian Sea. The single torpedo was quite enough to cause a bit of mayhem and a small fire, but by no means enough to send this almost new multi-compartment double-skinned tanker to the bottom.
There is no doubt the “warning” was received promptly in Washington.
           
The reason for pulling the Iraq operation is the crux of this report. The Zionists have proved to just about everyone that they have enough raw firepower to engage in Genocide throughout the Middle East. They have further made it very clear they intend to do this despite huge objections from Russia, China and France, and also from tens of millions of ordinary citizens in America and many other countries. Put bluntly, the Zionists are drunk with power and have the muscle to enforce their obscene desires.
           
So, ultimately the Zionists would have America as their Headquarters and the Middle East as their own personal oilfield, and simply ship the crude oil from their new oilfield back to Headquarters. But ship the oil in what, exactly? Why, in supertankers of course, because no one has yet invented a 12,000-mile pipeline stretching from the Middle East to America.
            
So there you have it. Using the best principles of unconventional warfare,  someone has just warned America that if the Zionists attack the Middle East, they in turn [ whoever they are] will make damn sure that the pillaged oil never reaches America.  Never mind defending the Strait of Hormuz or the Bab el Mandeb you fools, how do you think you going to get the stolen crude oil back to north America?
           
Supertankers have no defensive systems, are completely vulnerable to attack, and thus can be picked off by a single submarine anywhere along the incredibly long route from the Middle East to America. There is no way that US warships could escort or protect ten-percent of the tanker fleet.
            
Even a vague knowledge of the Battle of the Atlantic during the Second World War should be enough to convince you of this. Thousands of ships went to the bottom at the hands of submarines, many of them while being actively escorted by Destroyers and Frigates.
           
If the sub that attacked the Limburg is operating alone, it is still capable of sinking five large supertankers all by itself. It seems more likely however, that the sub is only one of an entire wolf pack belonging to a major nation, which means in turn that America can be denied oil and other essential imports as often and for as long as required in the future.
           
Some people looking at the pictures at the top of the page, will doubtless be tempted to slag me off, and claim I don’t know what I’m talking about. Surely that hole could have been punched by an internal fuel explosion, a cruise missile, a runaway car, Osama Bin Laden with a rowing boat, or perhaps by an Al Qaeda terrorist standing on tiptoe with a hand grenade? 
            
I have to admit I cheated a bit at the top of the page. The picture on the left is the hole blown in the hull of the MV Limburg last Sunday, but the picture on the right is of torpedo damage inflicted on the USS Liberty, an unarmed intelligence ship in international attacked by the Jewish State in 1967, killing 35 men and wounding 171. Please note from the enlarged photos below that the torpedo damage to the Limburg and Liberty is uncannily similar


Do not expect the American Government to provide an accurate account of what happened in the Arabian Sea any time soon. The spin doctors are rushing around the White House hastily concocting a story, in which it seems they might be aided by the French.
           
According to reports, “Yemeni, French and US experts investigating the blast which crippled a French supertanker off Yemen will release their findings together, a member of the Yemeni team said”. …"The three teams signed an agreement whereby they will release the results of the inquiry as it goes along, together," the Yemeni expert said on condition of anonymity. “"We are still waiting," he said when asked for any conclusions the experts had drawn so far.
           
Wait for as long as you like, it will not make any difference. The finished product presented to you by the mainstream media will, as usual, be perfectly sanitized, but with the same boring list of impossible flaws and hopeless contradictions.
