Saudi Shipping Company Controls 9 US Ports
Funny, our one party media hasn’t mentioned this Saudi-owned ports operation. Maybe they don’t know about it, as the company’s only been around since 1979:
The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia
Owners
Government of Saudi Arabia, Saudi individuals and establishments
Head Office Riyadh, KSA
The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (NSCSA) was established in 1979 to meet the transportation needs of Importers and Exporters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other countries in the Middle East.
And look at the ports where they control berths:
Marine Terminals
Baltimore, MD
Halifax, Canada
Newport News, VA
Houston, TX
New Orleans, LA
St. John, Canada
Houston, Texas
Savannah, GA
Wilmington, NC
Port Newark, NJ
Brooklyn, NY
Where’s the outrage?
HatTip to Sweetness and Light
- turns out, this isn't true. The Saudi company merely uses those terminals - it doesn't own or control them.
If you go to the company web site and click on the list of terminals, here - http://www.nscsaamerica.com/terminals.htm
then click on the terminal names, here -
http://www.nscsaamerica.com/marine_term.htm#New%20Jersey
You'll see a list of the various companies NSCSA uses to unload their ships. Apparently they don't do it themselves.

Just reading up on the list of targets that Iran has claimed to have missles trained on in the Americas and Australia.
It got me wondering about Iran's flotilla of various ships. As an oil rich nation, there are no doubt ships afloat on the seven seas that are owned or leased by Iran.
Seems to me they should be boarded by surprise and without warning by Nato nations to verify what missels or weapons may be hidden in the hulls of those vessels.
Australia and the Americas are far flung targets. Iran's weapons must be delivered from ships or airliners to be effective.
Only 12% of all shipping containers are at risk of government inspection in North Amercan ports.
What are the chances of a mushroom cloud and a green glow eminating from containers sitting on our docks both Atlantic and Pacific.
Saudi Arabia is ruled by a privilaged group headed by a supossed king. There is no freedom of speech or dress in the country.
Women in bourkahs are not allowed to shop in little stores and beautiques because the isles are too narrow and they could brush against a male shopper. Super stores and malls are permitted for women's shopping.

Peace and democracy must strike fear into ruler kings who have an iron rule in their oil-rich countries.
That may explain the orchestrated plot to incite riots and embassy burnings and killings using the excuse of Muhammad themed cartoons.

What better way to impede the growing strength of infant democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq?
The unions who run our ports in Canada and the US are corrupt.
However, I am not comfortable with the scale of problems that will result when our ports are turned over to those who can speak to each other in a virtual secret code. TG
This would likely never be allowed to happen in any fudamentalist run country. Enjoy.
