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.

TEPCo tries to blame employees for nuclear meltdown!

Tokyo Electric Power Company says they have reason to believe the cooling systems for Fukushima Daiichi were manually turned off.

They claim that the automatic systems kicked on after the 9.0 quake, but were then manually shut off right before the tsunami hit. It was three hours later before the system was turned back on.  TEPCo did not provide evidence, and it sounded like speculation to me.

Basically they’re trying to say a shutdown of cooling systems for slightly longer than three hours caused a total meltdown of fuel rods in Reactor 1.  They’re forgetting that there was no power to run the system anyway (according to their own statements weeks ago).  Also, TEPCo has recently admitted that dozens of trucks with generators, brought in after the tsunami, failed to provide power to run the plant.  It sounds like TEPCo is trying to blame its lower level throwaway employees for the meltdown.

Republic of Ireland back under the control of the British Empire

For the first time since the creation of the Republic of Ireland, royalty from the British empire has set foot on the island nation.  Queen Elizabeth II is in Ireland.

The government of Ireland has gone to great lengths to provide security for the queen’s visit.  The security is not to protect against outside attacks, like maybe from al-Qeada, but to protect the queen from the Irish people.

Already hundreds of Irish have demonstrated their disgust with a visit from their mortal enemy, a royal member of the British empire.  Even the Irish military has been called out to provide the queen protection.  That is a sure sign that the Republic has slipped back into the hands of the English (just like when Bush Jr paid a visit to the queen during his reign as U.S. President, the first time for a U.S. President).

Why is the queen in Ireland?  Officially it’s to “visit” and “pay respects” to those Irish who died fighting for their freedom.  Yeah, and who were they fighting against?  Elizabeth’s grandmammy and grandpappy’s empire, that’s who!  The real reason has to do with deals made in the Northern Ireland peace agreement, and the fact that a pro-empire political party has gained power in the Irish government.

But despite the tiny group of bought off Irish turncoats who’ve gained power in politics, most Irish still hate the English.  A recent poll showed Irish interest in anything to do with royalty hit an all time record low, with the recent royal wedding.

An Irish university professor pointed out that it’s not just British royalty the Irish hate, it’s any royalty: “The King of Denmark could arrive and no one would care – it’s the same thing.”-Gerard Casey, University College Dublin

It’s interesting timing that President Barak Obama will visit Ireland after the queen leaves.  Most Irish say they can’t wait for that visit (oh well, if they only knew).

British Special Operations soldier charged with raping little girls

A member of the Special Air Service (SAS) has been charged with 31 counts of sex crimes, including raping girls as young as six.  The soldier served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It took legal action by British media to make the case public.  The court case revealed that the soldier had been committing sex crimes as far back as 1997, years before the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.  For some reason the U.K. Ministry of Defense wanted to keep the case from the public.

There is another man being charged along with the SAS soldier, a paramedic.  Apparently the two worked together to commit sex crimes. The paramedic is also accused of using drugs to overpower victims.

Iraq announces military union with Iran

Could this be the real reason the U.S. doesn’t want to leave Iraq?  Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made it clear that Iraq and Iran are coming together to act as a regional power.

On May 16, Maliki told Iranian media that Iraq and Iran will expand military, as well as economic, cooperation.  He said the ongoing situation in the Middle East (caused by Western forces) demands that the ancient powers of Iraq and Iran must work together to create stability in the Middle East.

Japanese Muslims sue government

14 Muslims are suing their government for spying on them.  Some of those suing the Japanese authorities actually worked for police to spy on their fellow Muslims.

It’s not just the fact that Muslims are being spied on in Japan, the Japanese police actually published their data on the internet!

This is not the first time police made spy data available to the public, resulting in a lawsuit.  In December 2010, a Japanese book publisher was sued for printing a book with recent police spy data in it.

Catholic sex crimes continue, Vatican says go directly to Police

A report from Ireland shows that sex crimes committed by Catholic leaders has continued, and actually increased.

The National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church says in 2010, reported cases of sex abuse by Irish Catholic leaders increased by 38%, over 2009.

The Vatican has just released new rules for church leaders to deal with such claims.  Basically local Bishops have been ordered to report sex abuse claims to the police.  Critics point out that the new Vatican rules are useless because many of those Bishops are actually trying to cover up such crimes.

MI-6 admits the war in Iraq was about Oil for the British Empire, everything else is just lies, lies, lies

“The overall plan would need to be like an onion, each layer concealing the one below.”-Richard Dearlove, former SIS (MI-6) chief

When it comes to the long history of Iraq and the British Empire it’s always been about the oil.

The United Kingdom’s Secret Intelligence Service (aka MI-6, aka SIS-4) has revealed documents that show that the British interest in the invasion of Iraq was all about controlling the oil.

The report appears in the U.K. newspaper The Daily Mail.  SIS officers and the Blair administration discussed ways to “new security in oil supplies” by invading Iraq.  The British Empire first took over Iraq after World War 1, for the purpose of surrounding Russia in what’s called the Great Game (which many think is still going on), and mainly to develop Iraq’s oil fields.  Invading Iraq in the 21st century gave the U.K. another chance at controlling that oil.

The SIS documents also show that Richard Dearlove, then boss of the intelligence service, was concerned about the legality of the invasion. He wanted the input of “Government law officers to provide assurances of legality (there has been a serious problem here).”

If you need more proof that the U.K. was in the Iraq invasion for the oil, just compare how many oil contracts went to U.S. companies, to how many went to British companies.

President Ahmadinejad shuts down Iranian Oil Ministry, just follwing Iranian law

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed the Oil Ministry, and says he will run Iran’s Oil Ministry himself: “The Iranian government and Parliament (Majlis) have consensus on the Oil Ministry merger…I am the caretaker for the Oil Ministry.”

Iran’s Five Year Development Plan requires the merger of several Ministries, to make the government more efficient.  Those mergers are Roads and Transportation with Housing and Urban Development, Energy with Oil, Industries and Mines with Commerce, and Welfare and Social Security with Labor and Social Affairs.

Despite the fact that the mergers are required by law, under the five year plan, Ahmadinejad is being criticized by those ministers who’ve lost their jobs.

Some Parliament members say Ahmadinejad was supposed to get their approval before merging the ministries.  Ahmadinejad says the Parliament did approve the Oil Ministry merger.
