Notice in these articles the shipping company is hardly ever mentioned.

For example in: http://www.nytimes.com/2000/01/12/us/deadly-choice-of-stowaways-ship-containers.html

They only mention the freighter Cape May. A quick google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Cape_May_(T-AKR-5063)

SS Cape May (T-AKR-5063) is a steam turbine powered heavy-lift SEABEE barge carrier, one of two ships of her type in the Military Sealift Command's Ready Reserve Force.

Cape May is used in various tasks for the US military in heavy transport of goods in various theaters of action. She is currently in ready reserve status ready to be called upon for any large cargo work needed.

I wonder if there is a link with Trump's pick for Transportation Secretary: http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/another-conflict-interest-new-transportation-secretarys-family-runs-shipping

Nice connection with the freighter info & the military base. I am having to study for 2 law exams next week at the moment, so I cannot look into Chao at the moment. But even as a Conservative I personally do NOT trust McConnell

McConnell needs a closer look methinks. Good luck with your exams. :)

I heard he was into shipping oil by trains and that's why he was paying #NoDAPL protesters but this is....huger.

Well, died in June of 2013, so I don't know how much he personally has to do with the NoDAPL protestors. I was thinking that was more Warren Buffett with the trains & shipping. Buffett owns BNSF Railway

Soros is still alive....

Yes, George Soros is alive. But his brother Paul Soros died in June of 2013. Paul was the "shipping innovator"
