This is the headline and content of an email I received yesterday from an educated Republican followed by my reply.

Obama Donates 7 Alaska Islands to Putin for Zero Dollars

> belonging to Alaska and part of the United States as no big deal. Obama is giving these islands to Russia for free, no cost, $zero money or any other consideration. Guess what? The state legislature in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted several times in opposition to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil companies lease parts of the islands and start drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect Obama was trying to sneak this by...? Why??

Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, the Putin regime in the Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabed's surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake. The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by Pres. Obama or Sec. Clinton. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy! The State of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem to care. The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size. Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York Citynewspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals. In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. In Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia. Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. And Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it.

MY REPLY:
Whenever I hear something like this that makes no sense I do a little
investigating. Ya see, we're almost at an election and we have a Presidential debate this coming week, and if it were true, Romney would kill Obama's chances of being elected. So here's the real truth about those seven islands.
When Secretary of State William H. Seward purchased Alaska in 1867 from Russia it became the largest territory owned by America. The seven islands mentioned in the email are closest to mainland Russia, and have NEVER been claimed by the United States of America. The piece taken from the western journalism is dated from February 2012 and without author posted. The whole thing is a bogus lie that is emailed to people wanting to believe it's fabrication.

It is really sad that these alarmists are so very easy to fool! It is actually embarrassing. If it weren't about important things like national politics it would be entertaining. Why do they keep getting tricked by the same crazy "news" sources like these nutty emails? Seems they'd learn to be a bit more discerning?
