Herat Province: The U.S. occupation has been good for ice cream. An ice cream factory in Herat City is now producing 30 metric tons per day! Of course there is a U.S. taxpayer connection. The Herat Ice Cream factory is getting funding from the U.S. military’s Task Force for Business and Stability Operations, and has contracted with Pennsylvania based WCB Ice Cream packaging supplier. Herat Ice Cream was just voted Best Ice Cream in Afghanistan. Apparently even Mujahideen like to take a break by eating Herat Ice Cream!
Kabul Province: There are reports that the outgoing president Hamid Karzai has ordered the Afghan National Army to work with Pakistani military in a joint anti-militant operation. NATO officials have told Afghan officials that the new security deals with the Obama regime and NATO must be signed prior to September 2014. At the beginning of September the British empire United Kingdom will host the largest NATO meeting ever, and the new Afghan president has been ordered to attend! Obama’s puppet presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah now claims that 2.5-million votes are fraudulent! This Obama licker has yet to provide evidence for his claim, but swears he eventually will. Outgoing president Hamid Karzai says the new Afghan president will take office on the 5th day of Eid.
Kandahar Province: In Kandahar City, an explosion in a hotel/shopping district killed two people and wounded three.
Khost Province: In Mosa Khel District, three people killed by explosion. Government officials claim the victims were also the perpetrators, who were planting landmines when one went off. On the Pakistani side of the border, Pakistani officials claim more than 5-thousand refugees returned from Khost Province. However, there’s a catch for Pakistani refugees wanting to return home; they must subject their children to Bilderberg/UN supported mass vaccinations. So far, Pakistani officials say they’ve forced inoculated 2186 children. Afghan officials say there are 50-thousand people from Pakistan’s Waziristan living in Khost Province.

Uruzgan Province: Gezab District, 10 cops killed in ambush. Government officials think the cops were set up by a former government peace negotiator, who led the cops to believe they were meeting Mujahideen who wanted to surrender.
Despite being declared the most corrupted country in the World (several years in a row), the multi-national Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has decided that money laundering through Afghanistan is a good thing and refused to officially blacklist Afghan financial institutions (for the umpteenth year now)! Since it was created by the U.S. led G-7 in 1989 “The FATF has developed a series of Recommendations that are recognised as the international standard for combating of money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.” So apparently Afghanistan is not a threat for “financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction”? Or is it more proof that the ‘western’ G-7 governments are using Afghanistan to launder their ill gotten gains (opium smuggling anyone?)?
