I REALLY WISH you would LEARN!!!! Even if the actual event is true, the MSM either DISTORTS, OBFUSCATES, OMITS, or LIES about it.
Of course, the TIMING sure was a FRONT-PAGE, AGENDA-PUSHING COINCIDENCE, wasn't it?
Almost as if the Globe KNEW something like this was going to happen, hmmm?
First, a few things the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM is not telling you:
U.S. Behind Somali Piracy
Western Warships Protecting Pirates
Piracy "Crisis" Part of New World Order
Somali "Terrorists" Vow to Stop Pirates
NATO To Escort Israeli Weapons Smugglers
First, the APPETIZER!!!
"Pirates dodge warships in Gulf of Aden, hijack 3 more vessels" by Associated Press | April 7, 2009
NAIROBI, Kenya - Pirates hijacked three vessels in less than two days, diplomats and officials said yesterday, with the pattern of attacks suggesting the pirates are trying to evade warships patrolling the Gulf of Aden.
The Taiwanese ship Win Far 161 was seized early yesterday near an island in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean, said Lieutenant Nathan Christensen, a spokesman for America's Bahrain-based Fifth Fleet.... A small Yemeni boat was also hijacked in the Indian Ocean Sunday and a 35,000-ton British-owned bulk carrier, the Malaspina Castle, was hijacked early yesterday in the Gulf of Aden, officials said.
The hijacking of the Taiwanese vessel and Yemeni boat are the latest in a series of attacks in the Indian Ocean. A 20,000-ton German container ship, the
The bigger the lies....
Yup, the whole world's navies can't control a few pirates, uh-huh. So where is the pirate industry off all the other coasts of the world, huh?
I mean, after a while, this becomes SO RIDICULOUS you DON'T EVEN WANT TO COMMENT or POST on it anymore. This is being ALLOWED TO HAPPEN because the SOMALI PIRATES are CIA-SPONSORED WARLORDS WORKING FOR US!!!!!
It is so the GLOBALISTS can HAVE CONTROL of a VITAL SHIPPING LANE RIGHT OUTSIDE the Middle East!!!! You AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE ANYMORE, AmeriKam MSM!!!
Instead, they are targeting ships coming out of the Mozambique Channel, an area of the Indian Ocean further south between the southeastern Africa coast and Madagascar. The Brussels-based European antipiracy force said the Malaspina Castle was carrying iron and had 24 people on board from Bulgaria, the Philippines, Russia and Ukraine.
Lloyd's Marine Intelligence Unit said the ship was managed by BNavi SpA of Italy and owned by Navalmar UK Ltd. A Nairobi-based diplomat said the ship flies a Panamanian flag....
WTF is with the MANAGED BY ITALY, owned by UK, and FLYING a PANAMANIAN FLAG? Why the CONFUSION? Is there a CRIME SYNDICATE being COVERED UP? WTF is with all the DECEPTIONS, BUREAUCRACY, and PAPERWORK, huh?
Keep reading.
Although small boats like the Yemeni fishing vessel do not fetch large ransoms, the pirates often use such boats as 'mother ships', which tow the small speedboats the prates use hundreds of miles out to sea.
So ALL THAT RADAR is NO GOOD, huh, MIGHTY U.S. WARSHIPS, etc?
Yup, sure!!!!!

Now that the TABLE has been set by the AGENDA-PUSHING MSM, here is your FRONT-PAGE, MAIN COURSE!!!!!
"US crew fends off attack by Somali pirates" by Peter Schworm and Milton Valencia, Globe Staff | April 9, 2009
A crew commanded by two graduates of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy regained control of a cargo ship seized by a small band of armed Somali pirates yesterday, thwarting the first attack on a US-flagged vessel in recent memory.
The bold maneuver reportedly forced a tense standoff with the pirates, who fled the vessel in a lifeboat with the ship's captain, Richard Phillips, a 53-year-old from Underhill, Vt., and a 1979 graduate of the Bourne college. The attack marked the most dramatic example to date of the mounting threat the pirates pose to the international shipping trade in the volatile waters off the Horn of Africa....
Three weeks ago, between voyages to the Middle East, Shane Murphy visited his father's antipiracy class at the academy. In an unflinching lecture, he described the escalating threat of pirates in the lawless waters off the coast of Somalia and told cadets the danger was unlikely to subside soon. On his Facebook profile, the younger Murphy seemed resigned to the inevitability of an attack in "waters infested with pirates," writing that "it's only a matter of time before my number gets called."Yup, Facebook, Twiiter, Skype, MySpace. The MSM LOVES to PUSH THOSE DATA-MINIG, SPY-TRACKING TOOLS!!!!
And WHAT A COINCIDENCE that HIS NUMBER was CALLED SO QUICKLY, huh, readers? Puh-leeze!!!!
Yesterday, his stark warnings proved prophetic. Pirates boarded the ship nearly 300 miles off the coast of Somalia after a chase that lasted more than three hours, Joseph Murphy said....
Pffffffttt!
Of course, that guy who warned about the earthquake, well, he's just a crackpot.
Or all those FBI agents who were silenced by their superiors as they submitted reports regarding the 9/11 patsy pilots. Somehow those prophetic warnings remained and remain absent from the agenda-pushing media's memory hole.
The Maersk Alabama is part of a line, owned by a large Danish company, based in Norfolk, Va. It routinely works under contract for the Defense Department.
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
NO WONDER this is a MAJOR NEWS STORY!!!!!!!!!!
Modern-day pirates often launch small, fast-moving motorized craft from a larger ship, typically one disguised as a fishing vessel. These tactics allow pirates to range far from land, with some hijackings occurring more than 400 miles out at sea....
Are you TIRED of the WEAK, LAME-ASS EXCUSES as to why we can't stop the pirates?
Btw, WHAT about the STARVING and SUFFERING of the SOMALI PEOPLE? Why is the MSM SILENT on that one?
Because US INTERFERENCE and POLICY is in fact CREATING THOSE VERY CONDITIONS? You know the answer to that as well as I do, readers.
Richard Gurnon, president of Mass. Maritime, said the college community was stunned to learn that two of its graduates were on board but inspired by the crew's courage. He imagined that the crew might have taken matters into their own hands, like the passengers on United Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001.
"My guess is it was like the 'Let's roll' passengers," he said. "They decided it was now or never."

And now the LAME-ASS EXCUSES as to why the MOST MIGHTY MILITARY on the PLANET can not stop PIRATES!!!!
"For US, few military options against piracy threat; Too much water to patrol; legal authority limited" by Anne Gearan and Pauline Jelinek, Associated Press | April 9, 2009
WASHINGTON - The United States sent warships speeding to the scene. But they were hours away when the pirates attacked, and the world's greatest sea power had to face the fact that it had only limited options to respond to the startling seizure of American merchant seamen.
The outcome for the US-flagged Maersk Alabama and its crew was still unclear as last night turned into Thursday morning off the coast of Somalia. The crew had retaken control of the cargo ship from a band of pirates, but the captain was still held by the attackers in one of the ship's lifeboats.
The limits of US power are a hard reality facing the Obama administration, which has so far done no better than its predecessor to thwart the growing threat of piracy along a huge, lawless stretch of African coastline....
What HORSE SHIT!! They HAVEN'T STOPPED IT because THEY ARE WORKING FOR US!! They ONLY TOOK the WRONG SHIP THIS TIME!!!!
Despite America's technical and firepower edge, there is too much ocean to cover, and too many commercial vessels to protect, for full-time patrols or escorts for threatened ships. US legal authority is limited, too, even in the Maersk Alabama's case of American hostages and a cargo of donated American food.
Yeah, right, there is food on that ship. Think I'm believing that after all the lies? They told us the Fallujah Blackwaters were cooks for Christ's sake!
Somali pirates, emboldened by fat ransoms, have little reason to fear capture. "The military component here is always going to be marginal," said Peter Chalk, an expert on maritime national security at the private Rand Corporation.
There are also legal questions about where and how to prosecute pirates, and about how far the US military can or should go to help or protect commercial ships.
Like the U.S. EVER GAVE a SHIT about LEGALITIES!!!
Tell it to the Iraqis, shitters!!!!!!!!!!!
In December, alarmed by increases in hijacking incidents, the Bush administration sought and won UN Security Council authorization to expand international naval operations against Somali pirates to allow the pursuit of suspects on the ground in Somalia.

Oh, and here is a GREAT EXAMPLE of the ZIONIST AMERIKAN MSM's CENSORSHIP!!!!!
.... Ukrainian freighter MV Faina, which was hijacked in September with 20 crew members, was released in February after pirates holding the ship said they received $3.2 million in ransom. The ransom was paid after protracted negotiations, which saw Ukrainian relatives of the crew raise funds because they thought their government was not doing enough....

Yeah, the AMERIKAN JEWSMEDIA has been COVERING UP the ISRAELI WEAPONS-SMUGGLING RING for a LONG TIME!!!!!
"Some US officials fear the cargo aboard the MV Faina, which was seized by pirates Thursday, could end up in the hands of Al Qaeda-linked militants in Somalia.... But US officials, arms analysts, and maritime officials say the more likely original destination was southern Sudan, where the former rebel group Sudan
"Vadim Alperin was once quoted to be a "Mossad brother" running a number of clandestine front companies including one Kenyan Meat export company enjoying "good trade" with middle eastern countries covertly used for gathering intelligence from countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia"
Yeah, but the AmeriKan jewsmedia and the Boston Globe are giving you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, right?
