500-Year-Old Treasure Ship Found Off Coast of Africa

500 years ago, a ship wrecked off the African coast and has been found by De Beers geologists who were prospecting for diamonds off Namibia.

Treasure Trove Found in 500-Year-Old Shipwreck Off Africa, May 1^st 2008, Newsvine …

“If you’re mining on the coast, sooner or later you’ll find a wreck,” archaeologist Dieter Noli said in an interview Thursday.
Namdeb Diamond Corp., a joint venture of the government of Namibia and De Beers, first reported the April 1 find in a statement …
The company had cleared and drained a stretch of seabed, building an earthen wall to keep the water out so geologists could work. Noli said one of the geologists saw a few ingots, but had no idea what they were. Then the team found what looked like cannon barrels. The geologists stopped the brutal earth-moving work of searching for diamonds and sent photos to Noli, who had done research in the Namibian desert since the mid-1980s and has advised De Beers since 1996 on the archaeological impact of its operations in Namibia. …
Judging from the notables depicted on the hoard of Spanish and Portuguese coins, and the type of cannons and navigational equipment, the ship went down in the late 1400s or early 1500s, around the time Vasco de Gama and Columbus were plying the waters of the New World. …
“This find is very exciting because very few vessels from that period have been discovered,” he said, adding that many early ships were thought to have wrecked in that area. …
He compared the remnants – ingots, ivory, coins, coffin-sized timber fragments – to evidence at a crime scene.
“The surf would have pounded that wreck to smithereens,” he said. “It’s not like ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ with a ship more or less intact. …
The wealth on board is intriguing. … On the other hand, why did the captain have so many coins? Shouldn’t they have been traded for the ivory and copper?
“Either he did a very, very good deal. Or he was a pirate,” Noli said. …
The only tools found on the wreck were astrolabes, which can be used to determine only how far north or south you have sailed. …
Noli has found signs that worms were at work on the ship’s timber, and sheets of lead used to patch holes, indications the ship was old when it went down.

The Fuel Tax Holiday Debate

Senator Obama is stating that his political opponents – Senators Clinton and McCain, are pandering to the voters with their proposed suspension of federal gas tax (18.4 cents per gallon presently) in order to get Americans through the summer with a relief on cost at the fuel pump. Economists state that this is a bad idea.

Yet, during the course of Senator Obama’s state legislator’s office, he has voted for such a thing three times in the past …

Myth Blaster – Senator Obama’s Quoted Words, a Revelation of a Man Who Wants to Be President of the United States

Lori Cichy sent this email with the following attributed quotes from Senator Barack Obama’s books with the question of whether they were “true or not” …

From Dreams of My Father: I ceased to advertise my mother’s race
at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so
I was ingratiating myself to whites.
From Dreams of My Father: I found a solace in nursing a pervasive
sense of grievance and animosity against my mother’s race.
From Dreams of My Father: There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.
From Dreams of My Father: It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.
From Dreams of My Father: I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.
From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

Myth Blaster Verdict: All quotes are TRUE, one needing expansion to understand. Senator Obama is a closet racist, apparently stemming from his troubled childhood, his personal affiliations of choice and a danger to national security in the war against Islamic fascists. He is for amnesty, and one must examine his voting record, not his appearance and rhetoric to confirm this.
