A
crime against humanity
It
would be a crime to know
that a disaster happens
and do nothing
to prevent it.
Es wäre
ein Verbrechen zu wissen,
dass eine Katastrophe passiert
und nichts zu tun,
um sie zu verhindern.
dass eine Katastrophe passiert
und nichts zu tun,
um sie zu verhindern.

The horrific tsunami
calamity Dec. 26, 2004:
a natural
inevitable catastrophe
or a man-made
disaster?
The tsunami massacre of Dec. 26, 2004 was avoidable.
The tsunami massacre of Dec. 26, 2004 was avoidable.
This
astounding article, printed two weeks after the disaster in a regional German
newspaper Wiesbadener Kurier, may supply the answer.
We want to publish it here as a document.*) Everybody
can draw their own conclusions.
We
are, of course, neither in a position to prove that any of the allegations made
in this article are valid nor we have been able to elicit a confirmation or
even the least response from the White House, the Pentagon, the State
Department or the NOAA.
We
emailed this text in its German version to the Pentagon and its intelligence
agencies on October 18, 2006 and have sofar remained without a response.
However,
everything contained in this article fits in well with the general picture that
we’ve been able to establish over the years after accumulating solid
information and garnering countless mosaics, facts and little items from a
great variety of sources.
In
order to gain a full insight into what really happened, the public should have
unrestricted access to a wide range of geomonitoring data. Everything
that would help to determine the exact sequence of events, and who exactly was
responsible at which stage, must be put at the public’s disposal. We
therefore insist on delivery and publication all kind of satellite imageries
concerning the tsunami disaster 2004 provided by any governmental agency, company
or scientific institution on the world.
There
is another important point that baffle us: the still withhold American total
death toll and the so far unreleased victims’ list. Why hasn’t the official and
final American tsunami victims’ list been publisched till now? Names and
pictures of 9/11 victims are well known to us all. And every time a mad shooter
goes on a gun rampage, nothing stands in the way to publish immediately
victims’ names, photos and potted biographies, if no more - they can be found
on the web and in the press the following day. But in the case of the Tsunami
disaster everything is hushed up and covered up wherever one looks. This
is the ultimate insult to the victims.

Only the United States
is entitled to hear the cough of a herring.
America’s secret services had registered the
tsunami,
but did not warn the threatened countries.
WASHINGTON - Several US experts have to live with a heavy burden. They could have warned of the great tsunami wave in Asia and thus saved perhaps tens of thousands of lives. But instead they remained silent and watched the mass fatalities sitting on their hands and doing nothing. "National security" obviously had a higher value than the lives of so many victims.
This sounds unbelievable but it has meanwhile been officially confirmed: Both the National Weather Authority NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) as well as several military and non-military intelligence agencies of the United States registered the big quake in Asia and the resulting tsunami wave the moment they started. In places more than two hours elapsed before the water masses struck with a destructive force on the various coasts. "We received the data almost without delay," said a spokesman for NOAA.

In places more than two hours elapsed before the water masses struck with a destructive force on the various coasts. "We received the data almost without delay," said a spokesman for NOAA.
The evaluators of the secret NSA (National Security
Agency), and several military intelligence services in the US Department of Defence
(Pentagon) became even eyewitnesses of the tsunami waves raging along Asia’s coasts: spy satellites provided satellite images
of the quality of live TV: first of the flood, and then the unimaginable
destruction. "Outsiders won’t get access to the stored data,” says the
Pentagon. "The recorded data**)
were promptly classified and hidden away in a safe."
The NOAA experts immediately read the incoming flood
of data correctly. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operates
its own “Tsunami Early
Warning Center”
on Hawaii
and, according to a spokesman, did in fact issue an alarm message: Only one.
The recipient was the Hawaii Headquarters of the U.S.
Pacific Command of the United States Navy.***) And they in turn alerted the U.S. Navy base on the British
possession Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.
However, the Americans kept this warning secret even from the British military
on the island.
As it happened, the tsunami wave at Diego Garcia would
only be a ripple and it caused no damage.****)
When asked why the American tsunami early warning station did not warn the
authorities of the imminently threatened countries in Asia that a disaster was
/ impending / about to happen, the NOAA spokesman flatly replied, "We had
no list of contacts in these countries."
That statement provoked the following comment on the part of the
astonished people present, "They only had to place an alert on their
internet website, and everybody would have been
informed."
The U.S. military, however, have another explanation for their silence: "We couldn’t shout it from the housetops because it would have given away too much of our intelligence capabilities." Although America’s skills, though, are no longer a secret: The U.S. Navy’s reconnaissance experts have studded the bottom of the seas with sensors that continuously spark signals via satellite: currents, water temperatures, the sounds of submarines, and also seismic data. *****) "If somewhere in the water a herring coughs," said a Pentagon official proudly, "we we’ll hear it."
At Christmas 2004 the U.S. reconnaissance heard and saw something else.
The result was one of the most devastating disasters
of modern times.
And the question must be asked: Was that silence
really necessary?

Vom
Husten des Herings dürfen nur die USA wissen
Die
amerikanischen Geheimdienste hatten den Tsunami registriert,

gefährdeten Länder aber nicht gewarnt

WASHINGTON
Etliche US-Experten müssen mit einer schweren Belastung leben: Sie hätten vor
der großen Flutwelle in Asien warnen und dadurch vielleicht zehntausende von
Menschenleben retten können. Aber stattdessen schwiegen sie und sahen dem
Massensterben tatenlos zu. Die "nationale Sicherheit" hatte
offensichtlich einen höheren Stellenwert als das Leben vieler Opfer.
Das
unfassbar Scheinende ist inzwischen amtlich bestätigt worden: Sowohl die
Staatliche Wetterbehörde NOAA ("National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration") als auch mehrere militärische und zivile Geheimdienste
der Vereinigten Staaten hatten das große Beben in Asien und die dadurch entstehende
Flutwelle sofort nach ihrem Beginn registriert. Bis die Wassermassen mit
zerstörerischer Wucht auf diverse Küsten trafen, vergingen teilweise mehr als
zwei Stunden. "Die Daten sind bei uns fast ohne Verzögerung
eingegangen", erklärte ein NOAA-Sprecher.
Die
Auswerter des NSA-Geheimdienstes ("National Security Agency") und
mehrerer Militärgeheimdienste im US-Verteidi-gungsministerium (Pentagon) wurden
sogar Augenzeugen der durch Asien rasenden Flutwelle: Spionagesatelliten
lieferten Live-Fernsehbilder: Erst von der Flut und dann von der unvorstell-baren
Zerstörung. "Die Aufnahmen werden Außenstehende nicht zu sehen
bekommen", heißt es im Pentagon. "Die sind sofort im Panzerschrank
verschwunden".
Die
NOAA-Experten hatten die eintreffende Datenflut auch sofort richtig gedeutet.
Die Wetterbehörde unterhält auf Hawaii eigens eine
"Tsunami-Frühwarnstation" und die schickte nach Angaben eines
Sprechers auch tatsächlich eine Alarm-meldung heraus: Eine einzige. Adressat
war das auf Hawaii residierende Oberkommando der Pazifikflotte der US-Marine.
Die wiederum warnte die auf der britischen Besitzung Diego Garcia im indischen
Ozean installierte US-Marinebasis. Die Amerikaner hielten die Warnung jedoch
selbst vor den britischen Militärs auf der Insel geheim.
Die
Ironie des Schicksals wollte es, dass die Tsunami-Welle auf Diego Garcia nur
ein Plätschern war und keine Schäden anrichtete. Auf die Frage, warum die
amerikanische Frühwarn-station denn nicht die Behörden in den akut gefährdeten
Ländern in Asien vor dem bevorstehenden Unheil gewarnt habe, erklärte ein
NOAA-Sprecher lapidar: "Bei uns waren keine Ansprechpartner in den
betreffenden Ländern registriert". Auf diese Erklärung reagierten
Beobachter mit dem erstaunten Hinweis: "Die hätten doch nur auf ihrer Web-Seite
im Internet einen entsprechenden Hinweis platzieren müssen und alle hätten
sofort Bescheid bewusst".
US-Militärs
haben denn auch eine andere Erklärung für das Schweigen: "Wir konnten
unser Wissen nicht an die große Glocke hängen, weil das Rückschlüsse auf unsere
Aufklärungs-kapazitäten erlaubt hätte". Dabei sind die amerikanischen
Fähigkeiten kein großes Geheimnis: Die US-Aufklärer haben den Boden der
Weltmeere mit Sensoren gespickt, die über Satelliten ununterbrochen Daten
funken: Strömungen, Wassertemperaturen, die Geräusche von U-Booten, und auch
seismografische Daten. "Wenn irgendwo im Wasser ein Hering hustet",
meinte ein Pentagon-Offizieller stolz, "dann hören wir mit".
Weihnachten
2004 hörten und sahen die US-Aufklärer etwas anderes. Die Folge war eine der
folgenschwersten Naturkatastrophen der Neuzeit. Und die Frage stellt sich:
Musste das Schweigen wirklich sein?
