Translations from a Russian defense journal and from a secret Iranian military

handbook suggest that Russia and Iran have developed a Pearl Harbor 2.0 plan to

sink the entire U.S. Navy fleet as part of coordinated asymmetrical attacks against

the United States and U.S. military bases around the world.

The plan is to launch Russian Kalibr cruise missiles from submarines, freighter

ships, and Trojan Horse Club-K Container Missile System intermodal cargo

“containers” that can be smuggled into U.S. ports and moved into the U.S. interior

aboard trains and semi-trucks.

In 2015 the Russian journal “Natsionalnaya Oborona” (translation: National

Defense) outlined a plan to “hit them in their ports” with Kalibr cruise missiles

that could sink entire US Navy fleets docked in ports across the United States,

Europe, and the Middle East.

The journal published a paper, written by Aleksandr Mozgovoy, called “RUSSIAN

NAVY’S LONG ARM: KALIBR MISSILE FAMILY.” Mozgovoy writes (translated

from Russian):

Thanks to the (Kalibr) cruise missiles, nuclear and conventional submarines

will no longer have to change ship targets all over the ocean, but strike them

in their ports, attacking from long ranges. They can now attack a wide range

of land targets and from directions poorly protected by air defenses. This

also applies to attacks on surface ships. In the near future, Russian

submarines, missile boats, and surface ships will be able to hold at risk all

important sites in Europe and in the Middle East. While the nuclear subs

will have the US as their potential target...We believe that the idea of placing

Kalibrs in standard 40-foot containers (the Kalibr-K system) installed on

civilian ships, including riverine ones. Such concealed floating arsenals can

operate on seas and rivers unnoticed. Club-S export version is also enjoying

success. It has been installed on more than twenty diesel-electric submarines

delivered to Algeria, Vietnam, India, and China. Iranian sailors are casting

covetous gazes at them.

The West clearly understands the power of the Kalibr system. Not for

nothing did they name it the “Sizzler.”

Russia has been shifting to an asymmetrical cruise missile strategy by retrofitting

Russian submarines and surface warship fleets with Kalibr cruise missiles and the

Club K Container Missile Launch System. This information on the Kalibr

retrofitting of Russia’s naval fleets was confirmed by a “high ranking Russia

defense industry official” according to the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence.

Russia is also equipping freighter ships and ice breakers near Alaska with the

Club-K Container Missile System. Russia is selling the Club-K to America’s

enemies. Iran has purchased the Club K missile launching system per Dr. Peter

Vincent Pry, America’s foremost authority on ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP).

Europe, the Middle East, and U.S. Coasts in Range

of Russian Kalibr Cruise Missiles

U.S. military bases along the coast are in range of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles

that can be launched from submarines and freighters at sea, according to the CSIS

Missile Defense Project.

Russia already “holds” most of the Europe and the Middle East in range of Russian

Kalibr cruise missiles, the same type of missile used in the Club-K Container

Missile System, a map from the Office of Naval Intelligence reveals.

Additionally, Russia is building up military bases in the arctic near Alaska, as

revealed in a map from the office of U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK).

EMP Commission dismantled by Obama holdovers

as North Korea tested “Super EMP” capable

hydrogen bomb

Foremost EMP expert Dr. Peter Vincent Pry wrote in Israel’s Arutz Sheva.

One nuclear warhead detonated at high-altitude over the United States

would blackout the national electric grid and other life sustaining critical

infrastructures for months or years by means of an electromagnetic pulse

(EMP). A nationwide blackout lasting one year, according to the

5

Congressional EMP Commission, could cause chaos and starvation that

leaves 90 percent of Americans dead.

Iranian military documents describe such a scenario — including a recently

translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack

against the United States.

Dr. Pry headed the Congressional EMP Commission until it was dismantled by

Obama administration holdovers in September 2017, just as North Korea was

testing a hydrogen bomb that could be used in a super EMP attack.

“The people who sabotaged the EMP Commission, Obama holdovers, are still at

the Department of Defense. They have not been replaced by the Trump

administration. This is happening not just with the vitally important EMP

Commission” Dr. Pry told World Net Daily. “They held back money for a whole

year. They held back security clearances. They tried to stop the commission’s staff

from working, arguing that ‘you need a contract in order to work for the EMP

Commission.’ They wouldn’t even let me work, or other staff, pro-bono. We did

anyway.”

The EMP Commissions was comprised of America’s top scientist, a brain trust of

national defense experts.

Gulftainer in joint venture with ROSTEC, exporter of

Russia’s Club-K Container Missile System

In 2014 the Obama administration handed over Port Canaveral’s cargo container

terminal to UAE-based container and ports management company Gulftainer.

Gulftainer is linked to Saddam Hussein’s WMD programs and to Russia.

FOR FURTHER READING: “THE PERFECT STORM”

Delaware officials just approved a plan to hand over the Port of Wilmington to

Gulftainer for the next 50 years.

Gulftainer is co-owned by a UAE ruler and Iraqi oil billionaire Hamid Dhia Jafar.

Hamid Jafar was under investigation by the U.S. Treasury Department and three

congressional committees for his “Oil-For-Superweapons” scheme to fund

Saddam Hussein’s nuclear weapons program, directed by Hamid’s brother Dr.

Jafar Dhia Jafar.

Gulftainer is in a joint venture with Russian state-owned weapons conglomerate

ROSTEC, ROSTEC exports the Club-K Container Missile System through its

wholly-owned subsidiary ROSOBORONEXPORT. President Trump just placed

ROSOBORONEXPORT under sanctions, which had been lifted by the Obama

administration.

The Club-K’s Kalibr cruise missiles can deliver nuclear, EMP, chemical, biological,

and conventional payloads. Submarines can also launch Kalibr cruise missiles.

Russia and other U.S. adversaries could smuggle Club-K Container Missile System

units through U.S. ports such as Port Canaveral and the Port of Wilmington. Club-

K units look identical to standard intermodal shipping containers.

Dr. Joseph King is the former Chief of the National Security Section, Department

of Homeland Security’s New York City office. In an exclusive interview with these

reporters, Dr. King stated:

The detailed information that has been amassed regarding Project Pelican

makes it clear that the threats to our Ports and Terminals, our first line of

defense, and the corruption and criminal conduct in these conspiracies,

surpass the scope of the “Iran Contra” and “Whitewater” affairs combined.

Dr. King elaborated:

I find it mind-boggling that this Byzantine attack on our national security

has been swept under the rug by the previous administration. I hope that

7

someone in the Trump administration will pursue this dangerous and

criminal attack on our Ports and Terminals and ultimately our national

security so that, unlike Churchill, we will not have to fight them on our

beaches.
