Terrorists Tacking Into Boston Harbor

"Yemeni tankers OK’d in harbor; Coast Guard vows to bolster security; Angry Menino sees risk of LNG terror" by Andrea Estes, Globe Staff | February 3, 2010

The Coast Guard said yesterday that it will allow tankers carrying liquefied natural gas from Yemen into Boston Harbor despite concerns about the cargo coming from a country that has been called a haven for terrorists....

Opponents of the plan worry that terrorists could board the ships as stowaways and potentially ignite the flammable gas, though the company importing the LNG, Distrigas of Massachusetts, disputes the risk.

Distrigas has signed a 20-year contract with a Yemeni supplier and expects to bring in up to 30 shipments a year to its Everett facility. The imminent delivery would be only the second from Yemen to the United States. A tanker carrying Yemeni LNG arrived earlier this week in less-populous Sabine, Texas, according to John Healey, Coast Guard captain of the port of Boston, who said the Coast Guard spent a year reviewing security plans for the Yemeni shipments.

Healey said additional security measures will be put in place by Distrigas and validated by the Coast Guard when each vessel arrives; he declined to detail the procedures. Coast Guard officials will review each shipment as it comes in, he said, and they reserve the right to deny vessels entry to the harbor....

House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo, of Winthrop, had also expressed grave concern about the potential danger of bringing the highly flammable gas into the congested harbor, but he said yesterday that the Coast Guard had allayed many of his fears.

TOLDJA!

Distrigas spokeswoman Carol Churchill said the company, which provides 20 percent of New England’s natural gas on a typical day, is very pleased with the decision....

Yeah, and SINCE GOVERNMENT KNOWS "terrorism" is a GOVERNMENT CREATED, FUNDED, and DIRECTED ENTITY there is NO PROBLEM with the gas shipments!

Plus, if they need a false-flag attack with some patsies the option will always be available. I'm glad I don't live near Boston.

At the Yemeni port, she said, the ships operate at an “enhanced security level’’ with safety plans that meet international standards. Additional precautions are in place to prevent unauthorized people from boarding the ships, which have open compartments that discourage stowaways, she said.

There is a second security checkpoint between Yemen and US waters, she said. In addition, when a ship is about to enter Boston Harbor, its captain is required to check every compartment on the ship “that could possibly house a person’’ and report the findings in writing. After the captain completes the check list, the Coast Guard repeats the same procedure, she said.

“We’ve been working with the Coast Guard to bring LNG shipments safely into Boston Harbor and Everett for 40 years,’’ Churchill said. “We have a safety record of which we are very proud.’’

Company officials have taken issue with some of the opponents’ assertions and with past studies about the risks of an LNG explosion. One study, by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in 2004, was based on flawed assumptions and its recommendations were “scientifically unsupported and premature,’’ Francis J. Katulak, the company’s senior vice president for operations, told the federal agency at the time.

Churchill said yesterday that other studies have shown that “LNG is just as safe as other liquid fuels, if not safer.’’ The studies, including two conducted by the US Department of Energy, have concluded “the risks of LNG can be managed with the appropriate procedures,’’ she said.

In the past, national security officials have said that as many as a dozen Al Qaeda operatives had entered the country by stowing away on LNG tankers. Former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke wrote in a 2004 memoir that national security officials had “learned that Al Qaeda operatives had been infiltrating Boston by coming in on liquid natural gas tankers from Algeria.’’

But his former assistant, Roger Cressey, said last year that tankers from Yemen pose no greater risk than those from other countries, as long as ironclad security measures are in place....

Tired of the BULLS*** yet, Boston?

Biometrics, taking fingerprints of those on board, were used on the ship that made a delivery in Texas this week but may not be immediately used in Boston....

Yeah, THAT is what it is ALL ABOUT: setting up that CONTROL GRID!

A Coast Guard spokesman, Lieutenant Erik Halvorson, said biometrics will be used in Boston, but may not be in place in time for the first shipment....

--more--"

Yeah, NOTHING about the ACTUAL WAR.

AmeriKa's Zionist MSM just starts 'em; they don't report on them after they get going unless there is an agenda-pushing reason.
