Interesting that a newspaper is questioning this.
H/T to R who wrote this in an email:
This blog is an example of the story being reported, which is based upon a Kremlin report in the 'EU Times' which accuses North Korea of blowing up the rig in an attempt to sink a South Korean vessel in the Gulf.
At least one major mainstream media news outlet, television station WRAL in Raleigh, North Carolina, also reported the story that quotes heavily from the Russians.
The Kremlin also maintains that Barack Obama ordered an immediate news blackout, preventing reporters from gaining access to the area or discovering information that would confirm or disprove the charges.
If this story turns out to be true, then there is no doubt that Obama has engaged in a cover-up.
At this point it is impossible to verify the facts of the original report from the Kremlin in the EU Times. With a news blackout in effect, information is scant. It is to be noted, however, that little information is coming from the mainstream media other than the expected, incessant drumbeat on the 'enormous environmental disaster and the dangers of drilling for oil in the Gulf,' etc., etc.
So far no information has been reported on why an oil rig, which is designed in such as way so as to prevent such an explosion and quick-sink into the sea, would suddenly and without explanation go up in a massive dark cloud of fire and smoke.
And there has been no report on survivors, no interviews with eyewitnesses, not even a report on the names of those who were working on the rig at the time.
In addition, Barack Obama's actions yesterday, and his public statement concerning those actions, are, at the very least, curious. The wording of the statement is similar to one a President would make in the event of an act of sabotage. And the fact that Obama sent the federal SWAT team to the area fuels even more speculation that there is something more afoot here than just an oil rig spill.
It is to be remembered, however, that if the explosion is the result of an act of sabotage, the source of such an act may have absolutely nothing to do with North Korea. Environmentalist extremists have been known in the past to engage in acts of violence to get their message across and to prevent what they see as the 'raping' of the environment by the wicked, demented oil companies, nuclear energy companies, and others who do the demonic work of providing essential energy for the country--the energy that runs the computers from which Leftwing shills sit in their underwear in their momma's basements, spouting extremist propaganda.
Anything the Kremlin says, particularly with regard to their Communist comrades in North Korea, can be considered suspect, although at this point it is too early to entirely discount it.
But it is more credible to posit a theory of environmentalist wackos blowing up the rig, given their history, and given this is close to 'Earth Day,' and that this is 'May Day,' and that Obama and the Democrats who are now denouncing expanded oil exploration in the Gulf need a convenient excuse not only to back off from Obama's plan for limited expansion of oil drilling but to stop it entirely, as Democrat Senator Bill Nelson from Florida is now proposing.
All the more reason for Obama to send in the SWAT team to secure the area, initiate a news blackout, and cover up what really happened at the rig site.
