World War 3: Sudden increase in U.S. Assassination Terror Drone attacks, more than 50 people killed in past 24 hours, Obama proves he is more a warmonger than Bush Jr

There seems to be a sudden increase in the use of U.S. terror drones (UAV, unmanned aerial vehicle); four attacks in a 24 hour period, killing more than 50 people.

On March 10, 2012, at least four Afghan civilians were reported killed after a U.S. drone strike in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan.

In Yemen, on March 9, 2012, local security forces say a drone strike killed as many as 35 people.   It happened in the south eastern province of al-Bayda.  Then in the early morning of March 10, security forces reported yet another U.S. drone strike in the same area, this time killing at least 10 “militants”.  The people of Yemen have been fighting a Revolution against the U.S. supported government for at least two years now.

In Pakistan, conflicting reports about a drone attack there.  On March 9, 2012, officials said two missiles from a U.S. drone hit a vehicle, killing between eight and 13 militants.  Western reports say the militants would not let anyone get near the bodies, but, regional media said one of the missiles hit a house, killing another seven people.  It happened in South Waziristan Province.

According to Agence France-Presse, there were at least 45 U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan in 2009, 101 in 2010 and 64 in 2011.

Counting the March 9 attack, there have been eight known U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan, since the beginning of 2012.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism says at least 3,000 people have been killed by U.S. terror drones, in Pakistan, in the past eight years.   Under the Bush Jr administration there were 52 drone attacks in Pakistan.  So far, Peace Prize winning Barack Obama has launched more than 360 U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan!!!

World War 3: Are you a Patriot? Believe in your Constitutional Rights? Member of the Constitution Party? Then you’re offically an enemy of the State! 755% increase in extremism within the United States

“…the federal government is an evil cabal in the hands of bad people. The government is about to impose martial law on the country, very probably with the help of foreign troops, perhaps UN troops. They intend to confiscate all guns from Americans. Those liberty loving Americans who resist will be thrown into concentration camps that have secretly been constructed by FEMA. And ultimately the government will force us all into a socialistic kind of one world government, the so called New World Order.“–Mark Potok, SPLC

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has concluded a study of the rise of “hate groups” and “extremists” in the United States.  They claim that since Barack Obama’s election there has been a 755% increase in such groups!

But, if you look at their charts concerning “Hate Groups” you should note that there’s been a steady increase since before the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

The big jump is actually found in their chart concerning “Patriot & Militia Groups”.  In that chart you can definitely see a huge jump from 2008 to 2009.

So, the SPLC doesn’t just count NAZIs and Klansmen, they include groups that believe in their Constitutional Rights!  It also includes members of the political Constitution Party!

So according to the SPLC you are an “extremist” if you believe in the Bill of Rights!!!  So now it’s almost official; if you are a Patriot and believe in your Constitutional Rights, you are a Terrorist!  This is proof that the United States is no longer what the founders intended.  It is an alien country, no longer the United States of America, it is the United Police States of America!!!

Better check their website to make sure your Patriot Group isn’t on their list.

Global Economic War: China to start using Yuan for International Loans, BRICS will dump the U.S. dollar, Hillary Clinton demands China prove its intentions! The end of U.S. dollar dominance begins March 29!

“We will discuss the creation of structures and mechanisms for lending in local currencies in order to maximize economic and financial transactions between the countries that are members of the accord.”-statement from Brazil’s development bank BNDES

The BRICS are about to lead a new Revolution; no more U.S. dollar!  It’s being spearheaded by the Chinese Development Bank.

BRICS members (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are about to institute a new World Lending system that will not require the use of the U.S. dollar!

Reports say the new system will be signed into operation by BRICS members on March 29, 2012.  It will deal in not only the Chinese Yuan, but in local money as well.  Currently most international lending systems require loans to be made in U.S. dollars.  That’s because the major lenders, the IMF and World Bank, are actually run by the United States.

In response (yet not really explained by the main stream U.S. media why Clinton is making such a statement) U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is demanding China explain itself: “Given the historic challenges to security and stability posed by rising powers, they do have a special obligation to demonstrate in concrete ways that they are going to pursue a constructive path.”

Clinton’s statement shows just how paranoid the U.S. government is of China.  But, oh well, surveys show many of the citizens of the U.S. are also paranoid of China!  This new international lending agreement with the BRICS will only prove to the paranoids that they are justified in their fear.

World War 3: Afghans kill 6 U.K. troops, Dozens of Afghans detained for ‘suspicion’ of being Taliban, Afghan border police killed

March 7, 2012, British Ministry of Defense officials say six of their troops were killed in Helmand Province.  The Red Coats were patrolling in their vehicle when they were hit by an explosion.

In Kandahar Province, Afghan border police were hit by a suicide bomber: “There was a motorbike bomb blast against border police in Spin Boldak. Four civilians, one of them a woman, were killed and 10 others were injured.”-local police statement

As is usual in suicide attacks against Afghans, no one is claiming responsibility. One reason could be that it is not “Taliban” insurgents who’re carrying out these attacks, because they are usually quick to claim responsibility in other attacks.

Also, Afghan government officials reported a major operation involving U.S./NATO/ISAF forces: “The Afghan National Police, Afghan army and International Coalition Forces launched 11 joint operations in Nangarhar, Kunduz, Kandahar, Helmand, Wardak, Khost, Ghazni, and Logar provinces over the past 24 hours. As a result of these operations, four armed militants were killed and 31 others were arrested.”-Interior Ministry statement

The overwhelming number of people arrested, were detained simply for being “suspected” of being a militant, or being a “facilitator” for militants (something that can now be done here in the U.S. under NDAA 2012).

Government Evil: New evidence suggests Libya not involved with Pan Am Lockerbie bombing! Gaddafi was innocent?

“It is now absolutely clear this fragment was not from a timer we delivered to Libya. We told the police in 1999 this was the case but they would not believe us. We lost our company and had to pay a big damages claim.”-Edwin Bollier, former boss of Swiss company Mebo

In 1988, Pan American flight 103 went down over Lockerbie, Scotland, after an explosion.  Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi was blamed for ordering the bombing.

The blame was based on ‘evidence’ from a timer used on the bomb.  Now the Scottish media reporting that new evidence says otherwise!

During the Lockerbie trials, prosecutors claimed the flight 103 bomb used a MST-13 timer, made by a Swiss company called Mebo.  The prosecutors produced documents that showed that Libya bought 20 of the timers.  The Swiss company Mebo went bust as a result of the trial.

Now, almost 24 years later, the former owner of Mebo, Edwin Bollier, says that since at least 1999 there’s been evidence that the timer used in the flight 103 bombing was not one of Mebo’s.

Not only does the evidence open the doors for Bollier to sue the British government, but it casts doubt on the prosecution’s claim that Libya was behind the bombing.

In fact the author, John Ashton, who wrote the biography on the Libyan who was convicted of the bombing (Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi), said the timer could not have been made by Mebo, because of the way it was constructed.

Regarding Megrahi; he never took the witness stand during the trial, and the British government allowed him to come to the U.K. without a passport or other documents.  John Ashton based his book on the never been published 800 page Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission report.  Ashton got the report after years of legal wrangling.

It looks like another case of the U.S. and U.K. setting events up to justify international murder (war)!

World War 3: French Ambassador sneaks out of Syria, Syrian Ambassador tells U.K. bye bye, Canada closes Embassy

Lebanese media reporting that the French Ambassador to Syria has quietly driven into Lebanon. The ambassador and his diplomatic staff are in a convoy heading back to Pairs.

In the United Kingdom, the Syrian Ambassador made it clear to the British government that he will be leaving, after being called back by the Syrian government.

Canada has closed down their embassy in Syria: “All of our Canadian diplomats have left Damascus. The safety and security of Canadian personnel is our top priority and that is not a decision we took lightly.”-John Baird, Foreign Affairs Minister of Canada

After a meeting with officials from the United Arab Emirates, Canadian officials also imposed new sanctions. The new sanctions include a complete ban on financial services, as well as sanctions on the Syrian central bank.

Oil & Gas Prices to go up: Oil pipeline blown up in Syria, gas pipeline blown up in Egypt, oil pipeline explodes in Illinois, pipeline fire in Alaska, pipeline fire in Texas

March 5, 2012, pro-U.S. rebels blew up a major oil pipeline in Syria.  It happened in Deir al-Zor.

Deir al-Zor is an oil producing province bordering Iraq.  It has been under attack by rebels who are part of the loosely organized U.S./Israeli supported Free Syrian Army.

Also, a gas pipeline from Egypt to Jordan and Israel was blown up, for the 13th time since the January 2011 Egyptian Revolution.

Over the weekend, an oil pipeline was shut down after two cars crashed into the pipeline, causing an explosion.  The pipeline runs from Canada to Illinois. Two people were killed, three injured. Local Illinois police say it was a terrible car accident.

On March 1, British Petroleum (BP) reported a fire at one of its Alaskan operations. They said employees noticed a flame, then a loud bang at the Prudhoe Bay Gathering Center 2.   They don’t know what caused it.

In Texas, on March 2, three workers were injured by a fire on a Texas pipeline.  It’s being called a flash fire, caused when the workers were trying to repair an out of use pipeline.

On February 24, 2012, a Louisiana gas plant was closed indefinitely.  One employee was injured during a fire at the Basile plant.  The plant will re-open after an investigation.

Now realize that these kinds of things happen on a weekly bases, all around the World.  This proves the petroleum industry is not environmentally safe, is run by incompetents, is a main target of war, and it is the real reason oil and natural gas prices stay high.

World War 3: More suicide bombing in Afghanistan. More attacks against NATO. Iran trying to assasinate Afghan leaders? U.S. cancels security meeting.

According to separate reports there were two suicide bombings, March 5, 2012.

One took place in eastern Nangarhar Province, in Jalalabad city.  Local officials say as many as 13 people were killed, including civilians and police.  No group has claimed responsibility.

Then in Parwan Province, a suicide bomber tried to attack the U.S./NATO/ISAF airbase at Bagram.  The bomber targeted a NATO vehicle.  Two civilians were killed. The reports claim the “Taliban” took responsibility, and said it was vengeance for the U.S. burnings of Qur’ans.

It’s been revealed, that last week several Afghans were arrested trying to assassinate several Afghan politicians.  Officials with the National Directorate for Security of Afghanistan, say those arrested are claiming they were hired by the Iranian Republican Guards Corps.

Some Iranian officials point out that the Afghan politicians making the claim are pro-U.S. and are trying to create justifications to keep U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

March 5, Afghan officials say the United States has canceled upcoming security talks. The cancellation comes after Afghan President Hamid Karzai demanded the United States/NATO/ISAF stop night time home invasions, and turn over all U.S. controlled prisons to Afghanistan!

Some reports say U.S. officials told Karzai that it was “technically unfeasible” to meet his demands!  (just another way to say ‘beatings will continue until moral improves’)

Over the weekend:  The governor of Kunar Province was attacked. His motorcade was shot at, but no one was hurt. No group is claiming responsibility.

About 30 tons of opium and alcohol were burned by the Afghan Interior Ministry officials in southern Kandahar Province.  200 people were arrested!  Despite claims pushed by U.S. officials (that opium is used to pay for militant operations) tribal elders say poverty is the main motive behind the opium cultivation.

Also, Afghan government forces launched a major military operation that spanned several provenances.  The operations were conducted at Nangarhar, Kandahar, Baghlan and Helmand provinces.  They say dozens of militants were killed, wounded and/or arrested.  At lest five Afghan soldiers were killed.

World War 3: Israel turns parking garages into bomb shelters

Recently senior Israeli lawmaker, Zeev Bielski, said the city of Tel Aviv was not prepared enough for war with Iran.

City officials have now begun turning parking garages into bomb shelters.

The parking garage for the Habima National Theater has just been converted to act as a bomb shelter for 1,600 people. It’s conversion will be used in other buildings and parking garages.  A main component of the Habima bomb shelter are large water containers, providing enough water for 1,600 people, for several days.
