Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

World War 3: Iran to stop exporting crude oil! More reasons for inflation!

“We plan to get to the point where we would not need to export crude oil anymore…..it would be of great benefit to our country.”-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran

14 March 2013/02 Jumada l-Ula 1434/24 Esfand 1391/3 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Iranian leaders want to end their oil exports, as a way to guarantee self sufficiency, and counter economic sanctions by the West.

It’s estimated that if Iran builds more refineries to make fuel and petrochemicals for export, it can make three to four times more money than from exporting raw crude oil.  (this is exactly what the U.S. oil industry is doing, and the real reason why U.S. domestic fuel prices go up when U.S. oil prices have been relatively constant)

Domestically, it’s estimated that by producing more petrochemicals for Iranian industries as much as five times more money could be made: “The country’s oil industry has witnessed big developments, among them launching gasoline making unit of Abadan oil refinery. By launching the project the country no longer needs to import gasoline.”-Rostam Qassemi, Iranian Oil Minister

What’s in the New Pope’s name? Francis of Assisi or Francis Xavier or both? Meet Peter the Roman! Warning for non-Christians!

“Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations, and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the dreadful judge will judge his people. The End.”-attributed to Saint Malachy of Ireland

14 March 2013/02 Jumada l-Ula 1434/24 Esfand 1391/3 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Catholic officials claim that the new Catholic Pope took the name of Francis of Assisi, because he loved poor people.  The main streamer media says it’s to satisfy Italian Catholics.   My research shows that the name choice could be in respect to Francis Xavier, who also ‘loved’ poor people, and that there is no reason for Pope Francis to take an ‘Italian’ name because he is Italian!

Both Assisi and Xavier are Saints in the Catholic church.  Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan Order.  Francis Xavier was one of the founders of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus).  The new Pope is a Jesuit.

Franciscans and Jesuits embrace poverty.  Contrary to what many people think, this does not mean they are trying to elevate poverty.  Francis of Assisi believed the poor life was the proper life for Christians.  A co-founder of the Jesuits adopted the Biblical phrase “What will it profit a man to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”   

Francis of Assisi is associated with animals, especially birds. At one point during the election process for the new Pope, Sea Gulls were seen taking turns sitting on top of the signal chimney.

The new Pope Francis was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio (note the Italian middle and last names). He is considered an evangelical, meaning someone who wants to convert more people to their religion, or bring back members who’ve left.  Both Francis of Assisi and Francis Xavier took part in evangelical missions, however Xavier’s evangelical efforts are far more numerous than anything Assisi did. In fact, Xavier is known as the Patron of Catholic Missions (it was Xavier who brought Christianity to South and East Asia).

Francis of Assisi is Patron of Italy, and the city of San Francisco U.S.A.   Francis Xavier is Patron of dozens of countries and cities around the World.  Both are recognized by other Christian churches.

Francis Xavier is associated with the burning heart, which is a strong theme in Latin America.

Francis of Assisi had to bring order to his own Franciscan organization, but, Xavier is the more skilled at organizing since he organized most of his long missionary missions around the World.  Pope Francis is known for his organizational skills.

Assisi took part in some of the early policy reforms of the Catholic church, and it could be said that Xavier’s missionary work also reformed the church.  Pope Francis is known for helping to reform the Argentine Catholic church.

Francis of Assisi (Italy) was born in France, his mother French, his father Italian. Francis Xavier was Spanish. Pope Francis was born in Argentina (Spanish dominated), his parents were immigrants from Italy (this shows the main streamer media’s ignorance, because he is of Italian descent and therefore does not need to take an Italian name to satisfy Italian Catholics).

So, Pope Francis is a ‘Roman’, by ancestry.  That fits part of Catholic Saint Malachy’s alleged prophecy referring to the last Pope as Peter the Roman.

The announcement of this potentially last Pope took place in Saint Peter’s Square, from Saint Peter’s Basilica in the tiny country of Vatican.

Francis of Assisi is claimed to have exorcised the spirit of Brother Peter in the Porziuncola. The story goes that Brother Peter’s ghost was performing miracles (and what’s wrong with that?) and the gathering crowds were beginning to annoy the Franciscans, so Assisi commanded the ghost of Brother Peter to leave.

I’m sure as time goes by those who like speculating on ‘prophecies’ will find more ‘Peter’ connections.

But wait, there’s more.  Both Francis of Assisi and Francis Xavier are associated with Evil by non-Christians.

The Franciscans took part in the Evil Crusades against Muslims, Jews and Eastern Christians (non-Catholics)!

Francis Xavier took part in the Evil Inquisition.  The Inquisition saw thousands of people across Western Europe tortured and murdered because they were Muslims, Jews or ‘non-believers’!  Xavier even asked the King of Portugal for help in bringing the Inquisition to India: “The second necessity for the Christians is that Your Majesty establish the Holy Inquisition in Goa because there are many who live according to the Jewish Law and according to the Mohammedan Sect, without any fear of God or shame of the World. And since there are many Hindus who are spread all over the fortresses, there is the need of the Holy Inquisition, and of many preachers. Your Majesty should provide such necessary things for your loyal and faithful subjects in the Indies.” 

So for some people, Pope Francis could mean evil things to come.

World War 3: Proof that China will not enforce sanctions against North Korea.

14 March 2013/02 Jumada l-Ula 1434/24 Esfand 1391/3 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Chinese media revealing that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has dozens of Chinese bank accounts under false names.

However, it’s highly unlikely the Chinese government will take action because it still supports North Korea: “Beijing would be reluctant to take action if the bank accounts were personal accounts of Kim Jong-un. Beijing is worried that it could damage personal ties with the North Korean leader.”-Du Jifeng, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 12 – 13 March 2013. Karzai says War on Terror is a lie! Russia captures 20 tons of drugs, proof the U.S. war on drugs is a big fail! U.S. official issues report to justify staying in Afghanistan! Rumors of major battle brewing! More rip offs for U.S. taxpayers!

13 March 2013/01 Jumada l-Ula 1434/23 Esfand 1391

In Badakhshan Province, reports of nearly 300 families fleeing their homes in Akshira village in Wardaj District.  Apparently Mujahideen are using the area to prepare for a major battle with U.S. led Afghan National Army (ANA).  Provincial government officials believe Mujahideen are about to launch an offensive to take control of at least four districts, including the province’s capital city.

In Kunduz Province, a suicide bomber killed as many as 20 people, and wounded 35, after he blew himself up at a sporting event.  Among those killed are the son and the father of the Afghan Speaker of the House.  Some reports suggest they were the target of the bomber.

In Baghlan Province, children were playing with what turned out to be unexploded ordinance (UXO).  The bomb went off killing six kids and wounding five. Local government officials say the bomb was left over from a recent battle.

In Helmand Province, unconfirmed reports that an explosion killed two U.S./U.K. led personnel. Also, President Hamid Karzai told University students and local elders that the U.S. led War on Terror is a lie, and that some Mujahideen are actually working for the United States!  He also stated that Afghanistan and Pakistan must unite in order to fight their own War on Terror.

In Nangarhar Province, 21000 kg (about 20 tons) of morphine and heroin was captured by Afghan and Russian forces.  It’s considered the biggest drug bust in years, and is proof that everything the U.S. has done to supposedly stop opium drug production has failed.

U.S. National Intelligence Director, James Clapper, told the U.S. Senate that Afghanistan was too unstable for U.S. forces to pullout: “the Taliban-led insurgency has diminished in some areas of Afghanistan but remains resilient and capable of challenging U.S. and international goals. The coalition drawdown will have an impact on Afghanistan’s economy, which is likely to decline after 2014.”

The German Development Bank just pledged $89 million USD for the construction of an electricity network in Balkh and Samang provinces, and the building of a dam in Baghlan Province.

In Kandahar Province, a U.S. helicopter crashed, killing five U.S. personnel. Mujahideen claim they hit the ‘copter with a rocket, but ISAF said: “The cause of the crash is under investigation, however initial reporting indicates there was no enemy activity in the area at the time of the incident.”

In Parwan Province, reports that U.S. Bagram air base was hit by rocket attacks.

In Helmand Province, in Khashin district five people were killed after they drove over a landmine. In Musa Qaleh district, a woman and two girls were killed when a mortar round hit their house.

Textron Marine & Land Systems announced they are being paid $113.4 million USD by the U.S. government, to provide Afghanistan with armored vehicles. The deal is being handled by the U.S. Army Foreign Military Sales (FMS).  The company is currently working to fulfill a 2011 U.S. contract for the same armored vehicles.

World War 3: Chinese media blames the United States for North Korea’s nukes! MacArthur’s legacy of elitism lives on.

13 March 2013/01 Jumada l-Ula 1434/23 Esfand 1391/2 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Finian Cunningham, writing for the China’s The 4th Media, pointed out that the push by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to develop nuclear weapons is the fault of the United States.

The editors of The 4th Media backed up Cunningham’s statements by referring to a 2010 Associated Press article, which was written after secret U.S. documents were released on the 60th anniversary of what could now be the First Korean War:  “From the 1950s’ Pentagon to today’s Obama administration, the United States has repeatedly pondered, planned and threatened use of nuclear weapons against North Korea, according to declassified and other U.S. government documents released in this 60th-anniversary year of the Korean War.”-Associated Press

Anyone who knows the history of First Korean War should know that ‘heroic’ U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur was going to use nukes on the advancing Chinese, who were kicking ass all over the U.S. forces (the longest retreat in U.S. military history, caused because the arrogant MacArthur refusing to believe his own intelligence reports that said the Chinese were about to invade!). President Truman finally fired MacArthur, for continually disobeying the Commander in Chief’s orders.

By the way, America’s hero MacArthur (along with fellow American heroes, General George Patton and Major Dwight Eisenhower) once slaughtered  homeless/unemployed World War One veterans, and their wives and children,  in Washington DC. (officially; four dead, more than 1000 wounded)

Keep in mind the homeless/unemployed veterans were supported by retired USMC Major General Smedley Butler.

MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower attacked unsuspecting veterans (who thought they were coming to support them), and their families, with bayonets and poison gas.  President Hoover ordered a halt to the attacks, but, in a portent of future behavior for MacArthur he ignored the President’s order.

After the fact MacArthur claims that he thought the homeless veterans were actually an invading communist army!  Later, as President, Eisenhower used the same commie threat excuse for ordering the overthrow of Iran’s first Democratically elected government in 1953!  Do the research, these guys are not heroes, they are arrogant elitists, and are part of the reasons countries like North Korea and Iran do what they do!

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 09 – 11 March 2013. U.S. troops fail to follow Karzai’s orders! Attacks against U.S. forces in Maidan-Wardak increase, U.S. forces respond by shooting women & children! U.S. to erase drone strike data! Netherlands leaving!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391

In Maidan-Wardak Province, an Afghan National Security Forces (NSF) personnel shot and killed two U.S. SOF troops, and at least three fellow NSF members.  The shooter was also killed.  23 U.S. and Afghan personnel wounded. U.S. led forces then wounded two women and a child following the Green on Blue attack. U.S. forces also shot and killed two contracted vehicle maintenance employees as they were arriving for work. The Afghan Interior Ministry is protesting the killings. Some Afghans think it’s in retaliation for the Green on Blue attack.  Also, the deadline for U.S. SOF personnel to leave has expired and they have not left.  People in the province say they’re tired of constant home invasions, and random searches, shootings and kidnappings by the SOF troops. One man says one of his sons was kidnapped by SOF led troops three months ago, and he hasn’t been given any info about his whereabouts.  People are actually leaving the province because of the war crimes being committed by U.S. led forces.

In Farah Province, the provincial police chief said three people were killed by U.S. led drone (UAV) strike.  The target was a residence in Shivan area of Bala Buluk district.

USMC General, Joseph Dunford, responded to President Hamid Karzai’s claim that the U.S. was working with certain Mujahideen groups to keep Afghanistan destabilized, in order to justify keeping U.S. forces in country after the 2014 pullout:  “We have no reason to be supporting instability in Afghanistan.”

10 March 2013/27 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/20 Esfand 1391

In Nangarhar Province, a major battle between U.S. forces and Mujahideen in Shegal Bazaar at Ajin district.  It began at 09:00 hours when Mujahideen ambushed a NATO convoy.  At one point air strikes were called in. Afghan government officials say at least four Mujahideen were killed, 16 people wounded including three women and two kids.  The battle was over by 18:00 hours.  No info on U.S./NATO casualties.

The U.S. Central Command says it will erase all drone strike data from their monthly air power reports.  U.S. military officials admitted the reason why was because the increased use of drone strikes was attracting too much attention.

President Karzai accused the U.S. and Mujahideen of collusion. He pointed out that they’ve been holding meetings in Qatar for awhile now.  He believes the U.S. is supporting some militant groups in order to keep Afghanistan unstable, so U.S. officials can justify keeping troops in the country after the 2014 pullout.  Shortly after Karzai’s comments U.S. Secretary of State, Chuck Hagel, canceled his press conference with Karzai.

09 March 2013/26 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/19 Esfand 1391

In Khost Province, a suicide car bomber attacked a U.S./NATO/ANA convoy. Reports say nine people, including eight children, were killed.  Two kids wounded.

In Kabul City, a bomb went off killing 10 people and wounding several others: “We have got nine dead, all are civilians. Among the 10 wounded, two or three are personnel of the [Afghan] Ministry of Defense.”-Mohammad Daoud Amin, Kabul deputy police chief

U.S. forces have delayed the hand over of Bagram prison, again!  Now they say they will be able to handle the turnover later in March.  I guess they needed more time than they thought to cover up their crimes, after all, an unnamed U.S. official admitted they needed the delay to handle technical and legal issues.

Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, announced they will withdraw their police trainers earlier than planned.  He thinks the Afghan government is ready to handle things themselves: “We have decided to end the training mission on July 1.  The Afghans are ready sooner than planned to take responsibility for police training in Kunduz.”

World War 3: U.S. & South Korea responds to war threats by increasing sanctions against North!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391/30 Yi-Mao 4711

Both the United States and Republic of Korea (ROK) have imposed new economic sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).  The United Nations is already working on more sanctions.

President Barack Obama has added the Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea to sanctions.  This means the bank can not continue transactions with U.S. banks. It also includes four individuals and the Korean Workers’ Party.

Earlier in the day there were reports that South Korea imposed their own new financial sanctions against the North.

World War 3: South Korea accuses Idaho’s Micron of international price fixing!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391/30 Yi-Mao 4711

As war drums are beating, unnamed officials in Republic of Korea (ROK) are blaming Idaho based Micron Technology of fixing prices for computer memory chips: “It’s quite strange that the global memory chip market is seeing unexpected price rises amid less demand for conventional personal computers. It’s highly possible that the chipmakers are engaged in price-fixing. Among other firms, Micron Technology is apparently using its commanding position to manipulate computer chip prices. We are watching it closely.”

Micron apparently controls half the World’s chip market! ROK’s SK Hynix controls 30%, and Samsung 15%.  Those three companies are the only major memory chip makers left in the World, several years ago there were more than ten!

Officials from ROK base their claim on decreasing computer demand on information recently released by International Data Corporation.

This isn’t the first time Idaho’s Micron has been accused of price fixing.
