Somali ex-pirates seek employment but not as fishermen?

 
 Somali ex-pirates seek employment: MOGADISHU: Mohamed Abdi Hassan, one of Somalia’s most notorious pirate chiefs, appears far more businessman than sea bandit, as he explains why he now wants to end the murderous hijacking of ships.
It was not foreign fleets it was us! Anyway I am not going to talk about the amount of piracy but the reason our pirates "yes we killed their livelihood necessitating Piracy. I published this story in April 2009. Please read the story at the link. It is scary what we did and you have to wonder where else we have done stuff like this.

I knew the fishing industry died however I did not know we killed it by dumping nuclear and other industrial waste there. Brother pointed out that Somali war lords were bought off to dump hazardous waste in their waters. A Swiss firm called Achair Partners, and an Italian waste company called Progresso, made a deal with Ali Mahdi, that they could dump containers of waste material in Somali waters. These European companies were said to be paying Warlords about $3 a ton, where as to properly dispose of waste in Europe costs about $1000 a ton. Why we don't condemn our Somali pirates

I heard the fish were dead there and the fishermen took to pirating but it figures someone has been dumping nuclear and other toxic waste there. I do not blame them for pirating but stealing stuff is one thing. Ransoming for millions and disrupting the world is another but we disrupted them. They are supporting whole villages. I don't know what the answer is. They even take ships that are feeding their people. What do you do avoid the area and let them starve? I don't know!

It really bothers me that it seems whenever I delve into something it is always capitalism behind the problem. We keep hearing the virtues of Capitalism but our own problems and I am seeing around the world are caused by Capitalism run Amok. The great system of Capitalism is destroying our world. We have got to rein it in and control it. I was concerned with Bush's warmongering and the world marshaling forces to take him on. I was concerned about Israel instigating war too thinking they were the world’s primary problem. I thought they were controlling the US and we were going to end up destroying the world at their bid.

* We are so brainwashed, we never hear or see the truth. I noticed behind every frigging conflict including Gaza and Georgia and Afghanistan was oil and other energy sources so I just took the normal course of blaming all our problems on oil and other energy sources as the world postured to move into the future. Stupid me! In regard to our problems here I keep saying we see the enemy and he is us but son of a gun it is! We are the problem of the entire world. Capitalism! It is out of control and will destroy the world unless we rein it in. What say you!

Pirates targeted the Maersk Alabama again


Pirates targeted the Maersk Alabama again, the ship seized in a dramatic operation in the Indian Ocean waters two years ago. Pirates targeted the Maersk Alabama again, the ship seized in a dramatic operation in the Indian Ocean waters two years ago. Things turned out differently this time but the pirates will never stop. Piracy is lucrative for them and their only livelihood.!

Since I focus on all the worlds problems I write about the Somali pirates often as they get worse despite a concerted effort by a still growing number of countries. I had it pointed out that we were being lied to about the Somali Pirates.

Pirates make 2010 worst year ever for shipping : why we tolerate our pirates

As many as 53 ships were hijacked at sea, 1181 sailors taken hostage and eight killed in 2010, making it the most dangerous of all recorded years in international shipping. Pirates make 2010 worst year for shipping

Somali pirates lose battle to South Korean commandos

Malaysia holds 7 Somali pirates after saving ship

2010 was the worst year ever and there has already been 22 piracies in January! It is only going to keep getting worse as the year progresses. I watched a special where it was an honor to be chosen to attend pirate school and learn the trade' The pirates have the support of 70% of the villages as they bring in a lot of money where traditional means of income have disappeared.

Anyway I am not going to talk about the amount of piracy but the reason our pirates "yes we killed their livelihood necessitating Piracy. I published this story in April. Please read the story at the link. It is scary what we did and you have to wonder where else we have done stuff like this.

What's new as Trafigura fined €1m for illegally exporting hazardous waste to Africa, remember our Somali pirates?


It is about time as London based oil-trading company Trafigura was ordered to pay a fine of 1 million Euros ($1.3 million) for illegally dumping chemical waste in the Ivory Coast in 2006.You may remember the United Nations says the dumping killed 15 people and sickened about 100,000 others.The fine was issued by a Dutch court because the ship carrying the waste belonging to Trafigura departed from the Port of Amsterdam otherwise they would have continued to get away with it.

Trafigura lied about what they were dumping and had wrongly described the waste as routine slops from ordinary tank-cleaning. Residents complained about the foul smell, and 30,000 Africans were made ill when the toxic waste was dumped and who needed medical treatment. the export of waste and toxic waste dumping to the third world and harming the environment has been regulated as this has been going on for years.

A multimillion-dollar settlement was reached in September last year between Trafigura and the law firm representing people who claimed they had become sick from the toxic waste. Of course despite the settlement, Trafigura denies any responsibility for the actions of the contractor that dumped the waste. No one is responsible, what's new? Trafigura fined €1m for illegally exporting hazardous waste to Africa

I have yet to find out exactly what they were dumping but do you remember our conversations about our Somali pirates and how we created them by killing their livelihood with the illegal dumping of hazardous waste? I hope you read it at his link but I knew the fishing industry died however I did not know we killed it by dumping nuclear and other industrial waste there.

Somali war lords were bought off to dump hazardous waste in their waters. A Swiss firm called Achair Partners, and an Italian waste company called Progresso, made a deal with Ali Mahdi, that they could dump containers of waste material in Somali waters.

Despite call for united front Somali Piracy surges: There is a simple solution

EU naval officer: Piracy in Somali Basin "surges"

UN chief urges fight against piracy

EU's top diplomat warns over piracy ahead of Africa visit

Medvedev urges tougher measures for punishing pirates

There is a simple solution here now and Somalia has supplied it! It would be nice if we could feed the people there and get cooperation but that is not going to happen. The firing of mortars at Representative Payne's plane shows it is not even safe to be there. We do know where the Pirates come from. We know where they live. We know where they are. I listened to an expert and for once he had it right. Must be because he was foreign. Anyway he said he knows where they come from. He said it was two clans in northern Somalia. I hope to hell someone is talking to him on the sly.

Somali pirate's made $80 million from ransom's last year. We pissed them off! They have made a lucrative business of intimidating the world's shipping interests. It has become a game to them and they up to now have killed no one. We had to react the way we did but the ante has now been upped! Black Hawk Down taught us years ago we can not even help these people. We certainly can not leave them to fester either.

We can deal with this but I have not heard the right answers yet at least not from our so called experts. With one million miles of ocean to cover there, there is only one way to do this. We do not have enough ships in the world to monitor and secure all shipping interests in the world in the Indian ocean the way it is done now but a 3 pronged attack at the issue would bear instant results.

* 1. Let Puntland monitor the coastline and the gulf given the equipment they need. Seems like a good business for them and it would be a win, win for us. 2. Sounds like a great job for unmanned drones. One of the links above show we are thinking of attacking pirate bases. We should do that but should be watching with the drones land and sea areas. Lastly 3. This most definitely will work and I can not believe it is not employed. We have already moved the shipping lane to now 20 miles off the coast. That should be a safe zone! Anyone in it must be preregistered. It can be as wide as specified with a one mile buffer zone. Any little boat screwing around in there should be immediately sunk no questions asked. These guys are obvious as they did with the Alabama they harass ships for weeks. This is no game and we must start treating this like the serious issue it is!

Somali pirates can't be beaten at sea, why we cannot condemn them!



Somali pirates are back in the headlines after a Spanish trawler and its 36 member crew has thrust the issue of Somali piracy back into the spotlight. The vessel was released after a ransom payment exceeding $3m was agreed. Does not sound like a great amount when you hear millions Billions and trillions bandied about but in a country with an average income is $2 a day that sum is princely heck it is princely to most of us. Somali pirates can't be beaten at sea
