I recieved this in an e-mail from a very good friend.
We should all write our congressmen protesting this and encourage others to do the same. (and I just did)
I simply cannot believe this???? Are we (the American people) puppets with a mouth only to have stuff like this crammed down our throats??? what is with this creature in OUR WHITE HOUSE????
Subject: Obama donates 7 Alaskan/American Islands to Putin for Zero Dollars!
Is there no limit to what this man will do??? d@mn him!
Who gave him the right to unilaterally cede U.S. territory to a foreign nation???
Is something more going on here . . . behind the scenes? Perhaps the issue of Missile Defense in Europe is bearing on this give away".
This is wrong and we should all be upset and voicing our opinion. And where is the Drive-By coverage???
Obama donates 7 Alaskan/American Islands to Putin for Zero Dollars!
WHAT?????
Obama Donates 7 Alaskan Islands to Putin for Zero dollars. This is what our beloved president Obama has done in 2012 for America so far this year. This was just sent to me, and got very little press to keep it unknown from the American public. Please read the following to see what is happening. Why is he getting away with all of this? Is there a "REST OF THE STORY"?
This article on Feb. 16, 2012 appears in very few places. Apparently, the regular "professional reporters" consider Obama giving away islands belonging to Alaska and part of the United States as no big deal. Obama is giving these islands to Russia for free, no cost, $zero money or any other consideration. Guess what? The state legislature in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted several times in opposition to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil companies lease parts of the islands and start drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect Obama was trying to sneak this by? Why?
WorldNetDaily.com <http://worldnetdaily.com//> Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabed's surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, President Obama or Secretary Clinton could reverse it with the stroke of a pen. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia.
Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it. Also see Link 1,2 below

One article I looked at looked like this was done in 1977 by Henry Kissinger (sp?)...
Here is a map that some goober posted. He is basing anyone for circulating this story just on the basis that the islands are closer to Russia than the mainland US. What an ID 10 T. If we discovered and claimed them then no matter where they are they would be ours if no one else had claimed them..
So basically in fairness it is not Obama but Clinton and Bush could have also stopped this give away from what I understand.

That's what I'm seeing as well. Started in the 70's using 100+ year old treaty terms, finalized by Bush I in 1991.E_HILLMAN wrote:One article I looked at looked like this was done in 1977 by Henry Kissinger (sp?)...
How this is being blamed on Obama is beyond me.
