Subject: COAST GUARD ORDERED TO STAY IN PORT, ALLOWING  INFILTRATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, DRUGS, AND TERRORISTS

 

Last year’s Coast Guard budget was initially increased by 7%, and sequestration cut the increase by 2% to a 5% increase over last year’s budget.  Since April 29th, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has ordered the Commandant of the Coast Guard to keep patrol boats in port in District 7 (all districts are depicted in the below listed map); that will allow an average of 50 boats/day that were normally interdicted and taken in tow with illegal aliens, drug smugglers, and potential terrorist who were trying to enter the US thru District 7 “.    Napolitano is another Secretary in the Obama Cabinet following the resident of the Oval Office’s directions, to make the American people realize that any cuts in government spending would be a disaster. 

 

 

 

When has as any other Commander in Chief every intentionally put at hazard, the National Security of the Nation to prove a point?   This is another “Dereliction of Duty” by the current resident of the Oval Office who is not following his oath of office and his failure to abide by the US Constitution, which will ultimately Americans he swore to “protect and defend”.  The Congress should put a stop to DHS’ dangerous practice by threatening to severely restrict  funding  for the White House staff, unless the Coast Guard is allowed to resume patrols along the coast of the US, in order to interdict Illegal aliens, drug smugglers, and capture terrorists trying to enter the US.

This is another reason why every able American citizen must be armed.  American citizens must work with their neighbors to protect each others families and property.  Work with local law enforcement if possible but keep in mind recent Supreme Court decisions indicate each American citizen is left on their own for our own security.

MIAMI, FL –  Drugs, weapons, illegal aliens all are welcome under a new directive. There is an ongoing, emergency situation with the  <http://www.uscg.mil/> U.S. Coast Guard, which is now an agency under the  <http://www.dhs.gov/> U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

 

“By directive, starting last Monday, 29 April 2013 (barring emergency calls)  <http://www.uscg.mil/top/units/> Coast Guard District 7, which stretches from the Carolinas to Alabama to Florida, has been restricted from activity. There will be no enforcement patrols of large or small craft allowed in U.S. territorial seas, district-wide,” according to a WDW confidential source.

 

This directive will mean that, of several hundred craft available, neither the close-in enforcement operations (out to 20-nautical miles) nor the larger, blue water enforcement craft – cutters and the like – are actively engaged in protecting our shoreline. All such operations have ceased; no fuel is to be used to protect the U.S. shores, at least in District 7. All vessels would be confined to port, and personnel would be standing around, passing time onshore. Emergency rescue and limited air operations still continue.

 

Our confidential source states, “To put a perspective on this: an average Coast Guard small boat, for example, is a light, maneuverable outboard-equipped craft capable of quickly answering calls for detaining, boarding and inspecting vessels close to shore. They look for drugs, human trafficking, and weapons – including nuclear devices – which, incidentally when found are disarmed or turned over to the U.S. Navy bomb disposal units.”

 

Such a boat might interdict 50 craft per watch, or shift. That’s hundreds of boarding’s, scores of criminals/terrorists, and tons of contraband or worse – every watch, of every day, over thousands of miles of our coastline – that are not happening.

 

Will Congress query the other Coast Guard operational districts (perhaps even including our lakes and river ways), to see if the same directive applies?

 

What’s more: Jacksonville, Florida is homeport to three of the U.S. Navy’s incredibly powerful nuclear submarines, as well as many surface ships.

 

Our source notes, “Until this week, (following the devastatingly successful small boat attack on the defenseless U.S.S. Cole), a Coast Guard small craft escort was provided to all such important assets as they made their way in and out of port. As of Monday, this escort is no longer provided!”
