About I was contracted to go aboard this rust bucket today to perform a survey to determine its seaworthiness. It was originally detected and tracked by a joint Coast Guard / INS team as it crossed the Pacific from China. The Chinese & Russian crew had strong ties to organized crime and were bringing a cargo of human flesh to be exploited and extorted in the cheap, underground labor markets in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Many of the "cargo" died in the transit, some just murdered outright by the crew. I cannot begin to describe the incredible stench of death inside this vessel. For very straightforward reasons, the vessel was found to be unseaworthy and beyond economical repair. It now seems that it will be sunk to help form an artificial reef. Some days are not as good as others.

Very powerful, perhaps they should take the crew and sink them with the ship.

Early AmeriKa was built upon the suffering of others brought to the shores in a like manner... AmeriKa clearly demands more... but there is fortunately a majority that spends AmeriKan tax dollars (actually debt... more likely) to protect and save these innocent ones, and possibly bring them along to become ideal citizens, and tax payers in the future.
Well documented!

Man, we writers gotta stick together. You have a grat gift for writing what is in yer haid. It does not go un-noticed. And ya have seen some of me older work? Wow... that is cool as hell... I thought maybe I was just pissing up a rope and only 2 people got it. That was a nice comment, thanks.

Thank you very much for reading as well as viewing. I've been an admirer of your work for a long time. It means a lot to me when folks get both messages.

When I saw this, I thought it an anti US military post. I was expecting to read about those who have volunteered and are still abroad. I thought maybe you were giving a rant about the US folks what have given freely of their life... and then I read the "about".... sobering. And a great shot when one knows the background. Ya made Jimmie think. Good work.
