GGP
Newsletter - 2009 April
The Rise
of the Fourth Reich
My
previous newsletter
created quite a stir
among my North Carolina
subscribers. Several of
them contacted me about
the NOAA expansion
program. To
recapitulate, I wrote
that NOAA had conducted
site surveys on offshore
German U-boats with the
express purpose of
encompassing them - and
every other shipwreck
along the Outer Banks -
in the Monitor National
Marine Sanctuary. NOAA
intends to do this by
expanding the boundaries
of the Sanctuary to
include the entire Outer
Banks and Diamond
Shoals, and as far south
as the U-352 off
Morehead City.
If NOAA
does this, it will have
autonomous control over
practically every
shipwreck off the coast
of North Carolina.
Impossible,
you say? Not in the
least. Despite ardent
local protest, in the
Great Lakes, NOAA has
already expanded the
Thunder Bay NMS eightfold!
In
Massachusetts, plans are
in the works to expand
the Stellwagen Bank NMS
all the way to the beach
- well, actually, to the
3-mile territorial
border - westward to the
mainland and southward
to Cape Cod. NOAA kept
these machinations such
a closely guarded secret
that, until recently,
not even the head of the
Massachusetts Board of
Underwater
Archaeological Resources
knew about them. NOAA
never notified him of
their expansion program.
He had to learn the
truth of NOAA's
nefarious plans through
the back door.
More than
one subscriber has asked
me for the source of my
information about the
expansion of the Monitor
NMS, especially in light
of denials given by NOAA
representatives. I
learned about NOAA's
true intentions direct
from a participant in
the NOAA U-boat site
survey trip. This
participant prefers to
remain anonymous. I
recently spoke with this
person again, and asked
if I had misconstrued
the facts. This person
reconfirmed in no
uncertain terms that
NOAA's sole reason for
surveying the U-boats
was to lay the
groundwork for the
expansion program that
was already underway.
NOAA's
follow-up to the survey
trip was a series of
press releases in which
agency representatives
made ever-worsening and
unsupported allegations
that recreational divers
are solely responsible
for destroying the
wrecks - notwithstanding
the highly dynamic area
in which these
shipwrecks reside. NOAA
will use this wrongful
defamation of character
to advance the claim
that the wrecks need
NOAA's
"protection."
("Protection"
is a NOAA euphemism for
"control.")
Bobby and
Renate Edwards have
compiled a timeline that
clearly shows where NOAA
is going. For details,
visit their website at:
www.atlantischarters.net/keepstatusquo.htm
The fact
that NOAA is now (and
for the first time since
the Sanctuary was
created, in 1975)
holding "scoping"
meetings about the
Monitor NMS,
demonstrates NOAA's true
intention. The reason
NOAA is holding public
hearings when they have
never done so before is
because Congress has
mandated that NOAA must
hold such hearings in
order to solicit public
feedback before making
changes to the status
quo.
NOAA
representatives bemoan
the fact that divers do
not appear at public
hearings in order to
voice their concerns and
protest NOAA's
aggrandizement. NOAA is
not going to act upon
divers' concerns, so
what is the point of
voicing them.
Although
NOAA is mandated to hold
public hearings and listen
to public concerns, NOAA
is under no obligation
to act upon those
concerns. NOAA holds
hearings merely as lip
service to satisfy its
Congressional mandate,
then goes ahead and does
whatever the hell it
wants. This is not a
prediction, but a
statement of past
behavior - behavior that
is entirely without
exception.
Once NOAA
gains control, it then
has a blank check to do
as it pleases. This
means instituting a
permit system which can
be as restrictive as it
wants to make it, along
with stern reprisals for
violating the system.
Reprisals can take the
form of huge fines
and/or criminal
prosecution ($50,000
and/or a one-year prison
sentence). NOAA can also
place shipwrecks
off-limits forever.
A diver's
request for a permit
might be put on hold for
years - or indefinitely.
Again, this is not a
prediction but
recognition of past
behavior.
This is
what will happen should
NOAA expand the Monitor
NMS boundaries - an
expansion that is many thousands
of times larger than the
current Sanctuary.
NOAA's
first step will be to
place the U-boats
off-limits to all
recreational divers.
Other wrecks will
follow. Wreck-diving off
the North Carolina coast
will cease to exist.
NOAA
representatives, who
deny that there are
plans afoot to expand
the Monitor NMS, are
lying. In fact, NOAA
already has a name for
the expanded Sanctuary:
the Graveyard of the
Atlantic National Marine
Sanctuary. This name
tells it all: the
expanded Sanctuary has
nothing to do with
preserving marine life;
it has everything to do
with controlling access
to shipwrecks.
In this
regard, it is ironic to
note that the Marine
Sanctuary Program is
supposed to operate
under the guidelines of
the Marine Protection,
Research, and
Sanctuaries Act, which
has nothing to do with
shipwrecks but is solely
concerned with the
marine life environment.
BEWARE:
the way the NOAA scam
operates is like this:
lower-echelon
representatives make
denials; then, after an
unpopular change is
made, the lower-echelon
representatives claim
that although they sided
with public opinion, the
decision was made by a
"higher
authority." By
"higher
authority" I do not
mean God.
Adolph
Hitler created the Third
Reich in order to
dominate the world. NOAA
is creating a Fourth
Reich in order to
dominate the oceans: an
area that is three times
as large as the Earth's
landmass. Don't let it
happen.
Citizens
who are concerned about
the totalitarian
takeover of North
Carolina shipwrecks
should write to their
State and Federal
representatives in order
to voice their
disapproval. NOAA is a
juggernaut that has
forever been out of
control. If NOAA is not
stopped, it will
continue to expand its
boundaries until it
controls every bit of
water on the planet.
Perhaps even rainwater.
If you
want to know how NOAA
has acted in the past,
read my latest book,
"Shipwreck
Heresies." There is
a follow-up to my
Monitor book,
"Ironclad
Legacy," plus a
telling indictment
entitled "The
Stellwagen Bank
Robbery," which
recounts NOAA's illegal
efforts to confiscate
for itself the
shipwrecks off the coast
of Massachusetts. These
chapters establish
relevance for the
comments included in the
current newsletter.
The book
also includes an
in-depth history of how
the Abandoned Shipwreck
Act was passed by means
of lies and chicanery
committed by American
senatorial and
congressional
representatives; a
blasting pronouncement
of how the
identification of the
U.S. destroyer Murphy
led to the wrongful
passage of the Military
Authorization Bill; a
70-page retrospective of
"Shadow Divers
Exposed" and how
its truths have been
upheld against the
greatest hoax in
publishing history,
"Shadow
Divers"; the
Lusitania; and much,
much more.

your copy today.
My
faithful science fiction
followers will be
interested in my latest
sci-fi publication and
tribute to Jules Verne,
"A Journey to the
Center of the
Earth." Combined in
one volume is the
original classic and my
imaginative pastiche,
plus 16,000 words of
analyses and critiques.
