Alaska Up for Russian Repatriation?
Crimea moves daily towards its status as part of Russia, not Ukraine, despite European and US protests and punitive actions. Russia’s justification remains today: We must protect our Russian family wherever they may be.
So if Alaskans petition for repatriation back to Russia because a few thousand signatures appear on a White House website, will Russia be tempted to move against the US? http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2014/03/24/Alaska-petition-seeking-secession-back-to-Russia-gets-10000-signatures-in-three-days/4791395684800/
Sounds crazy, right? Despite Alaska’s very small Russian ethnic population, about 1 percent, over 17,000 signatures on http://WhiteHouse.gov have registered so far on a petition to give Alaska back to Russia. http://www.vocativ.com/culture/society/just-crimea-alaskans-want-join-russia/
When Czar Alexander II, desperate for funds in 1867, agreed to sell Alaska to the US for $7.2 M, no one then seemed to complain. Yet, today, whether because ethnic Russians in Alaska truly want repatriation to the largest country on the planet or because more mysterious forces have started pushing, something weird in Alaska has been uncovered as the ice thaws with the coming Spring. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska
Perhaps one source of the repatriation push arises from disillusioned Christians in Alaska, if Godlike Productions prophecies can be believed. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message602788/pg1
Others accuse Palin or her sympathizers. http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2014/03/petition-to-have-alaska-secede-back-to.html
Analysts at HFS say that the originator of the petition for Alaska to secede from the US to join the Russian Federation, “unnamed Anchorage resident,” sparks many imaginations. The HFS favorite is rabid bots unleashed by megalomaniac Putin activists. However, from a rational standpoint, HFS suggests that reaching the required number of signatures, 100,000, by 20 April 2014 seems a long way away, and that date gives anti-secession activists time to find out who is really behind the big push.
What do you think?
