World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 21-24 April 2014: DynCorp sucks up 70% of U.S. taxes! Suicide bomber survives deadly attack! Three U.S. doctors assassinated by police! Election results delayed due to fraud! National Guard troops killing themselves!

Faryab Province:  In Pashtun Kot District, a massive Israeli style invasion of Zaghan, Qala Niyaz Bek and Aaq Dara villages (by government forces) resulted in 16 civilians killed (including teachers and students), and 40 homes burned down!

Helmand Province: In Musa Kala District,  villagers say one of their neighbors was killed by a U.S./NATO airstrike.

Kabul Province:  In Kabul City, a Afghan Public Protection Force cop assassinated three U.S. doctors working at the Cure International Hospital.  He also wounded a nurse.  The cop was wounded and arrested.  At the Kabul airport a Afghan was arrested for trying to smuggle out 854 grams of heroin.

Kunar Province: In Nari District, police say they called in a U.S. drone strike, killing both Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen.

Logar Province: In Mohammad Agha District, a Mujahideen commander, who was also a member of the Afghan High Peace Council, was assassinated.   His body guards were wounded.  In Pul-e-Alam City, Mujahideen say they brought down an attack helicopter, which landed in the city and was promptly cordoned off.   Also, reports that U.S.-NATO troops conducted an Israeli style raid on a city Mosque, killing the Imam who was leading prayers.  In two other Israeli style home invasions two people were kidnaped and one killed.

Nangarhar Province: In Daronta area, somebody planted a magnetic bomb on the vehicle of a lawyer.  It exploded, killing one person and wounding seven others.

Nuristan Province: In Want District, locals say a woman was killed after stepping on a landmine planted by government forces.

Parwan Province: In Charikar City, 17 people were wounded by an explosion, police refused to give more details.

Zabul Province: In Qalat City, Mujahideen say a suicide bomber actually survived his attack on a Afghan National Army and National Directorate of Security convoy.  However, dozens of government personnel were killed or wounded.  Remote detonated bombs were also used in the attack.

Mujahideen reporting that almost 100 people across Afghanistan have joined in their fight against the U.S. occupation, in the past week.   At least 15 were former government troops/cops.

The Independent Election Commission has decided to delay the partial vote count of the “successful” election results, due to massive fraud!  Obama and the United Nations called the elections a success before the votes were even counted!  Election officials still claim that the pro-Obama candidate Abdullah Abdullah is the winner.

NATO has abandoned 335 bases in Afghanistan.

Did you know in 2012 the United States awarded an Afghan the Peace through Commerce award, for creating the first ever insurance company in Afghanistan?   What a bunch-o-crap!  That’s your U.S. tax dollars at work.

To add to that, U.S. Special Investigator for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John Sopko, discovered that of all the U.S. contractors operating in Afghanistan, DynCorp has received the lion’s share of U.S. taxes.  Shopko says the controversial DynCorp has been paid nearly 70% of the $4-billion in U.S. taxes sent to Afghanistan by the U.S. Department of (failed)State!

An Iowa National Guard militiaman, wounded in Afghanistan in 2011, killed himself recently.  His mother told The Des Moines Register he was a medic and was disturbed by the high number of wounded children in Afghanistan, saying some of the attacks on children looked intentional.

A U.S. Army soldier lost his house in Florida, after deploying to Afghanistan.  The soldier is now based in Hawaii, but when he deployed to Afghanistan he asked a ‘friend’ to watch his house in Florida.  The home is occupied by a couple who were homeless (and former convicted drug dealers).  They  claim the soldier’s so called friend gave verbal permission to move in, in exchange for remodeling work on the house.  As a result the local Sheriff says he can’t do anything about the situation.  “I want the people out. They’re criminals living in my house!”-Michael Sharkey, U.S. Army Specialist

World War 3, East European Front: Obama reneges on Ukraine ceasefire, imposes new sanctions on Russia!

26 April 2014 (20:28 UTC-07 Tango 25 April 2014)/25 Jumada t-Tania 1435/06 Ordibehesht 1393/27 Wu-Chen 4712

The Nobel Peace Prize winner, Obama, is going along with the G7 in imposing new economic sanctions against Russia, despite a recent ceasefire deal.

That deal required the Obama regime puppets in Ukraine to back off of military repression of ethnic Russians.  Almost right away the puppet regime began killing unarmed ethnic Russians, and has ramped up their “anti-terror operations” against the provinces where the majority of residents are Russians.

A SkyNews British empire journalist, reporting live from Ukraine, actually said he found the latest claims by the Obama regime government in Kiev to be “hard to believe”, from what he saw with his own eyes.

Not surprisingly, Obama and the G7 said it was Russia that was not abiding by the recent ceasefire deal.   The SkyNews live reporter said it looks like Western leaders are pushing for things get worse, for all out war.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Obama regime Big Fail making peace between Israel & Palestine! New united Palestinian government!

25 April 2014 (12:43 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Jumada t-Tania 1435/05 Ordibehesht 1393/26 Wu-Chen 4712

“The EU has consistently called for intra-Palestinian reconciliation…”-Michael Mann, European Union spokesman

Israeli Nut-job Yahoo has called emergency cabinet meetings to discuss military action against the new United Palestinian government, after Fatah (aka Palestinian Authority) announced a new alliance with rival Hamas!

Fatah is the dominant political party in the Israeli concentration camp known as West Bank.  Fatah is recognized by Israel and United States.  Hamas is dominant political group in the Israeli concentration camp known as Gaza Strip.  Hamas is not recognized by Israel or United States.

The new Palestinian unity government is scheduling elections so Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza Strip can elect new unity leaders.

The rattled U.S. Congress has responded by canceling the pathetic amount of U.S. money given to Fatah.  However, the U.S. Congress is not canceling the billions of U.S. taxes going to Israel, even though Israel is the instigator of all things evil in that region.

If you watched regime-ist Obama’s press conference, where he responded to the news of the new united Palestinian government, it was obvious he and his ‘experts’ didn’t see this coming.  He looked like a dog with its tail between its legs.  After all, Obama is dealing with his war mongering against the military giant known as Russia, now he has to deal with the threat of his failed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks coming back on him.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 16-20 April 2014: India to finance Russian arms supplies! Female politician shot by cop! Thousands of innocent prisoners released from U.S. prison! U.S. loses documentation on hundreds of prisoners! Iran hangs drug smugglers!

Baghlan Province: A NATO convoy was hit by remote detonated bomb.  Reports of casualties, but no details.

Ghazni Province: In Ghazni City, cops claim seven people accidentally blew themselves up while making a bomb in a Mosque.  However, there have been several reports in the past which indicate such “accidental” explosions were really reverse suicide bombing attacks launched by government forces.

Kabul Province:  In Kabul City, a female Member of Parliament got into an argument with a national cop.  Perhaps remembering the humiliation suffered by a fellow cop who was bitch slapped last year by a female politician, this time the cop took action first, shooting the female MP several times.  She’s in the hospital, the cop has been arrested.   A magnetic mine was placed on a Agriculture Ministry vehicle.  It exploded, wounding seven people.

Kandahar Province:  Kandahar airbase, outgoing President Hamid Karzai demanded the United States shutdown their secretive prison on the airbase.

Laghman Province:  Afghan government officials are bragging that they’ve bribed 300 people, from 20 villages, to take up arms against the Mujahideen.

Maidan Wardak Province:  In Syedabad District, Mujahideen killed four Afghan Public Order Police personnel.   According to local news reports this is the second time in the past week that this has happened.

Nangarhar Province:  Afghan government officials are bragging that they’ve bribed hundreds of people to take up arms against the Mujahideen.

Parwan Province:  There are reports that four people were killed, one wounded, by U.S. drone strike.  After reviewing U.S. documents on thousands of people kidnapped and held in the evil Bagram Prison, the Afghan government release 4159 prisoners on the grounds the U.S. documents lacked any evidence that the imprisoned were terrorists!  On top of that, Afghan investigators say U.S. officials were holding 336 people and yet had no documentation that those hundreds of prisoners were even there!

Zabul Province: In Shahr-e-Safa District, a mini-van drove over a landmine, two children killed, six people wounded.

In United Arab Emirates, the Afghan High Peace Council confirmed that for some reason the Obama regime puppet government of UAE detained a former Mujahideen who went to talk peace.   Obama regime is immediately suspect, but many Mujahideen groups have stated they believe any former Mujahid who talks peace with the U.S., or Afghan government, is a traitor.  In the recent past some of those former Mujahideen were assassinated by Mujahideen.  The UAE finally released this latest ex-Mujahideen peace envoy.  UAE officials say they detained him because of some problems with his passport.

The Indian Express is reporting that the Indian government (taxpayers) will pay for new Russian weapons for the Afghan military. India’s outgoing Army Chief General, Bikram Singh, met with Afghan officials to discuss what will happen if the United States ever leaves.

Iran hanged six drug smugglers from U.S. occupied Afghanistan.  Iran says ever since the U.S. occupied Afghanistan there has been skyrocketing drug smuggling into Iran.  Mainly heroin, but also U.S. made Meth!   Iranian officials said four of the executed smugglers were Afghans, but Iranian cops did not find any national ID for the other two.

The Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan claims all the votes have been turned in for counting.  This can not be, because the local news media reported that many ballot boxes were destroyed en route to the vote counting center!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 10-15 April 2014: Innocent truck driver spends nine years in U.S. prison hell! U.S. taxpayers fund new dam project! Mujahideen peace envoy kidnapped in UAE! U.S. creates 800 square miles of unexploded bombs! North Dakota defies Obama!

 

Ghazni Province: In Andar District, a government agent, in charge of creating anti-Mujhahideen militias, was assassinated by Mujahideen. Three of his cronies were wounded.

Helmand Province: The bodies of four construction workers kidnapped earlier in the month were found in Kanadahar province.

Kabul Province:  In Kabul City, the National Security Council condemned the U.S. led occupation of Afghanistan for creating 1287 square kilometers (800 square miles) of unexploded ordinance (UXO)!  It’s not all in one place but at various ‘training’ ranges, spread all over Afghanistan, that Occupation forces have used over the past 13 years.  The United Nations’ Mine Action Coordination Center of Afghanistan has documented at least 70 victims of such U.S./NATO UXO, just since 2012!  A female Member of Parliament (MP) was wounded when she was shot by men who got away.

Kandahar Province: In Panjwai District, a U.S. drone crashed.  Mujahideen claim they shot it down, local Afghan government officials confirmed a drone crashed, U.S. officials refuse comment.  The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) wants to spend bookoo U.S. tax dollars raising the Dahla Dam.  The dam needs to be raised 7.62 meters (25 feet) because the reservoir bottom has silted up.  The project is expected to take until 2017 to complete. No details about the cost of the project were given in the report.  U.S. taxpayers might be surprised at how many foreign dam projects their USACE is involved in.

Herat Province:  In Herat City, the spokesman for Herat Ulema Council was shot dead by two men riding a motorcycle.

Khost Province: In Khost City, two separate explosions killed two cops, and wounded five.  A third explosion killed two civilians and wounded nine.  In Zani Kheil area, local government officials report that a U.S. helicopter (private security company?) on a training mission strafed a house with machine gun fire, killing a woman and her two children, the father was wounded.  U.S.-ISAF says they will investigate.  

Logar Province:  In Pul-e-Alam District, a U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division Specialist from Texas was shot and killed by Mujahideen.

Maidan Wardak Province: Multiple battles have left at least four Mujahideen dead, two wounded, as well as one cop killed, five wounded.

Paktika Province: In Urgun District, a suicide bomber killed a tribal elder.  Three people were wounded.

Parwan Province:  A former Pakistani truck driver, released from the infamous U.S. controlled Bagram Prison after nine years of hell, finally spoke out.  He was never charged with a crime by the United States, but suffered sleep depravation among other things: They wouldn’t let us sleep. If they wanted to punish you, for example if you spoke to another prisoner, they would put you in a star position for 30 minutes to an hour.”Umran Khan, finally released in November 2013, claims he has breathing problems from U.S. guards routinely spraying the prisoners with tear gas

Agha Jan Mutasim, a Afghan Mujahideen peace envoy sent to United Arab Emirates, disappeared the day after he arrived.  The Obama regime of the United States is suspect because they are not concerned that a peace envoy is missing.

Election officials are delaying the results of the latest ‘election’ in Afghanistan.  They say 85% of votes have been counted, but there is a major problem in that many ballot boxes were destroyed en route to the vote counting center, and thousands of election fraud complaints have been filed.  Six presidential candidates have already declared the election a fraud.  Not surprisingly, the pro-Obama regime candidate, Abdullah Abdullah, is projected to be the winner.  This is probably why the U.S. and UN have already declared the ‘election’ a success.

The Russian intelligence agency, FSB, claims the missing Malaysian airlines MH370/CZ748 was actually hijacked by military pilots and flown to a secret base along the Afghan-Pakistan border.

China is prepping to take over from the United States in Afghanistan.  A Reuters reports says China has already spent $250-million USD of their taxpayers’ money to support the economy of Afghanistan, and is becoming more involved in ‘security’ issues.  China has also promised $700-million to develop Afghanistan’s oil industry, and $3-billion for Afghanistan’s copper mines!

The Army National Guard’s 1-82 Cavalry Squadron (Oregon) deploying to Afghanistan.  They are part of more than 1-thousand Oregon militiamen and air-militiamen deploying to Afghanistan this year.

Militia members of North Dakota’s Army National Guard have defied the Obama regime’s U.S. Department of State and paid to rescue their Afghan interpreter.  The former interpreter and his wife now live in North Dakota.  Afghan interpreters working for U.S. forces have been told by Mujahideen that they will be assassinated, the Obama regime government has refused to help them.

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives John Boner, I mean Boehner, went to Afghanistan to demand that U.S. forces remain in Afghanistan: The delegation sent a strong, unequivocal message that the House of Representatives wants to maintain a right-sized presence in Afghanistan to successfully complete the work that has been done to date, and to honor the sacrifice of thousands of troops and civilians, as well as their families.”

Martial Law China: Cops start carrying guns despite outright gun ban!

21 April 2014 (12:08 UTC-07 Tango)/20 Jumada t-Tania 1435/01 Ordibehest 1393/22 Wu-Chen 4712

“Wow, so cool! They were cool before but now they’re even cooler and can do the job of protection even better! Now they have the power to decide one’s life. If some of the police officers’ personalities are not so good, then I’m kind of worried. Will they feel free to shoot? As far as I know from cases I have read online, police might hurt people.”– Liang Jing, Chinese subject, I mean citizen who likes the idea of armed cops but at the same time is afraid

Associated Press reporting that Chinese cops have joined their British Bobby counterparts and have started arming themselves with guns.  This in a country where private ownership of guns is outright banned!

For the first time in ‘Communist’ China’s history, cops will be armed with guns for routine patrols.  Why?  Their own studies into why so many people are killed with knives show it is because there wasn’t anybody armed with a gun who could have stopped the knife attacks!  In other words, they’ve come to the same conclusion that many true U.S. citizens have, that if people are armed with guns then it’s much easier/faster to stop a violent crime.

There have been growing numbers of mass knifings in China, some by disgruntled Han who’ve been screwed over by the move towards capitalism, and others by Uighurs who’re tired of being screwed over by the Han elite.

In China, being an ethnic/religious minority seeking independence because you’re tired of being screwed over is reason to be called a terrorist, officially.

In crony capitalist Communist China, the government is viewed as the “people” while the people are viewed as potential enemies.  Therefore the only “people” allowed to have guns is the government.

Obviously the true people of China do not have the same attitude as their elitist government leaders, as proven by the record number of gun confiscations, year after year.

If China was a true Communist country then everybody should be armed with guns, not just the government.  And then there’s Switzerland, where every household can take part in the country’s militia and is actually issued machine guns they can keep at home.  Go ahead, check the violent crime rate in Switzerland against other countries who ban ownership of guns, I dare you!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 06-10 April 2014: Red Coat Captain says U.S. occupiers just as stupid as old Soviet occupiers! Oregonians protesting the deployment of their Guard units! Obama regime admits it wants to destroy the Guard! More proof USAID is money laundering!

Helmand Province: A former British Army captain, and now Doctor of History, Mike Martin, spent six years studying U.S./U.K. led NATO ops in the province.  His conclusion was that ignorance of Afghanistan’s history resulted in NATO military ops actually making life worse for Afghans. Martin said war lords took advantage of the U.S. occupation to wage war on their personal enemies and strengthen their positions.  Gee, that’s exactly what happened under the Soviet occupation, I though we in the West were smarter than that!  You mean our exalted ‘elected’ officials are just as stupid as the old soviet leaders who occupied Afghanistan from 1979-89?   Martin’s book is called An Intimate War: An Oral History of the Helmand Conflict 1978-2012, and is an official King’s College in London publication.  The British Ministry of Defence is trying to block the publication of the book.

Herat Province: In Shindand District, a police vehicle ran over a landmine, killing one cop and wounding three.

Kandahar Province: In Maiwand District, a NATO convoy was hit by a car bomber.  NATO and Afghan government officials refused to release any details.   In the same district, a mini-bus ran over a landmine, killing all 15 civilians onboard.  Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) admitted they kidnapped 86 men in the province.  A U.S. Army Captain from South Carolina was killed, supposedly in a “non-hostile” incident.

Kunar Province: Afghan government officials claim they killed 29 Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen by calling in two U.S. drone strikes over two days.

Pakistan claims 12 mortar rounds were fired from Afghanistan into Zoya-ba village.   No reports of casualties.

While the Obama regime is calling the Afghan elections a success, the Afghan Defense Ministry reported at least 690 attacks.   General Zahir Azimi says about 170 people were killed, at least 100 wounded.  If Obama considers such violence to be a sign of success, then people of the United States are lagging behind!

Afghanistan’s Independent Electoral Complaints Commission reports at least 1269 complaints of election fraud, during this latest “democratic” elections.  211 voting stations were actually closed during the elections.

In the past the evil U.S. Agency for International Development swore to the U.S. Congress that it “made 333 recommendations on how to mitigate the risk” of corruption by Afghan agencies.  Then they admitted that they were imposing only 24 of those recommendations on Afghan agencies.  However, U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John F. Sopko, discovered that not only are they not imposing any recommendations, but that “USAID admitted to auditors that Afghanistan is the only country in the world where it waived its own strict internal policies before providing such direct assistance.”  As a result, USAID can’t account for at least $17-billion USD spent in Afghanistan, so far.

250 air-militiamen of the Air National Guard’s 169th Fighter Wing (South Carolina) returned from Afghanistan.

950 militiamen of Oregon’s National Guard scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan this year.  Now, 18 anti-war groups have petitioned the state’s Governor to stop the deployments: “…as Commander in Chief of the Guard, keep our men and women home to aid in search and rescue, firefighting, and other important functions that are not possibly in violation of international law.”

 160 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 379th Engineer Company (Massachusetts) deploying to Afghanistan.

U.S. Army General Ray Odierno admitted the Obama regime wants to neutralize the state run Guard units: “We are not eliminating aviation brigades in the Guard. What we are doing is transferring the attack capability out of the Guard.

South Carolina representative Joe Wilson said the Obama plan “…significantly reduces personnel, many of whom are aviation personnel with years of experience as either pilots or in aircraft maintenance. Over 6,000 of these personnel, whom the Army has invested significant time and money, will be forced out of a job and will be cut from the Army National Guard as a result of this proposal.”  Wilson is gaining Congressional support to block the Obama regime’s evil plan.

World War 3, East European Front: Obama regime lackies break Cease Fire on Easter Sunday, kill at least 3 unarmed ethnic Russians!

20 April 2014 (11:22 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Jumada t-Tania 1435/31 Farvardin 1393/21 Wu-Chen 4712

At 01:00 hours on Easter Sunday, about three vehicles approached a ethnic Russian manned checkpoint outside the city of Sloviansk (Slaviansk).  When the driver was asked for ID somebody inside the vehicle started shooting at the unarmed checkpoint personnel.

The people in the vehicles then piled out, shooting and killing more unarmed people.  Finally, armed militia came running from the city, destroying the vehicles and chasing off the armed attackers.

Reports say between five and seven people were killed, in total.

Do your research on what happened in Libya, Egypt and Syria.  Every time a ceasefire was arraigned, pushed by the Obama regime, it was Obama regime backed insurgents that deliberately broke the cease fire.  Then when the government, or pro-government citizens, defended themselves the evil Obama regime accused them of breaking the cease fire.

On 17 April 2014, John Kerry stated that a new agreement was made between United States, Russia and the Obama puppet government in Kiev: “All sides must refrain from any violence, intimidation or provocative actions.” 

Obviously the Obama puppets in Kiev have no intention of honoring any cease fire agreements.

Martial Law U.S.A. Mexican Style: New study shows Mexican anti-gun laws a big fail, and don’t blame U.S. guns! Government behind most of the violence!

19 April 2014 (13:36 UTC-07 Tango)/18 Jumada t-Tania 1435/30 Farvardin 1393/20 Wu-Chen 4712

A new study by David Kopel, Adjunct professor of advanced constitutional law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law, has revealed that the anti-gun laws imposed on Mexicans in the 1970s is a big fail, and it is not because of U.S. guns being smuggled in, it’s plain old government corruption!

Here in the U.S. we’ve already had shining examples of ‘elected’ officials, who claimed to be anti-gun, being caught in gun running ops.  And what about the 40 British anti-gun politicians arrested for owning and selling illegal guns?  And then there’s China with an out right ban on guns yet somehow, year after year, record numbers of guns are captured by Chinese NAZI cops!

Kopel’s research shows that since the implementation of Mexican anti-gun bans, in the 1970s, gun crimes and violence has only skyrocketed in Mexico.  And who are the ones with the most guns?  Government agencies and ‘drug lords’!  Two former Mexican federal officials admitted that only 14% of ‘law abiding’ Mexican families actually own illegal guns, and most of them because they live in crime ridden neighborhoods where the cops refuse to go!

The study also shows that government officials, backed up by cops, have created highly publicized false flag gun confiscation ops to justify the anti-gun laws.  Kopel found most of these to be totally bogus (hence “false flag”).  This reminds me of the recent NYC cops who set up a gun buying op (false flag sting) and then tried to claim illegal gun selling was rampant in order to justify more and more anti-gun laws. Turned out the only “customers” buying the guns were the cops under the guise of a “sting” op.  And let’s not forget the son of a NYC cop caught gun running.

Kopel was able to determine that guns in the hands of ‘drug lords’ were not being bought in the U.S. specifically for Mexicans: “…..of the Mexican guns that are successfully traced to the U.S., the average firearms age is fifteen years, according to data compiled by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. The age of these guns is strong evidence that they were legal American guns that were stolen and then sold into the black market–and not guns which were bought at a gun store as part of a plan for them to be immediately transported to Mexico.”

Apparently, the only ops to run U.S. guns into Mexico are being done by our own government: “…’Fast & Furious’ and ‘Wide Receiver’ programs run by the Phoenix BATFE office, to facilitate the export of new American guns to Mexican drug trafficking organizations.”

The study is called Mexico’s Gun Control Laws: A Model for the United States?

Exceptional Failed State: Mormon bank caught violating U.S. sanctions against Iran! Money laundering or drug running by Bank of Utah, maybe CIA ops?

18 April 2014 (16:28 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Jumada t-Tania 1435/29 Farvardin 1393/19 Wu-Chen 4712

A small commercial plane owned by the Mormon Bank of Utah was caught by New York Times journalists at the Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.

Iranian airport officials said the plane was considered a “VIP” flight.  Iranian officials also told the New York Times to talk to the owners of the plane for more info.  But, Bank of Utah officials swore up and down that they had no idea why the plane was in Iran.

The U.S. FAA also said they had no idea who was flying the plane.

For some reason amateur photogs have been tracking the plane (tail number N604EP).  Supposedly the plane is being operating by a company out of Ghana, apparently making flights between London and Tehran.

It turns out that the relatively small Bank of Utah is trustee owner of a lot of freakin’ planes, even the big 747s!  In fact the New York Times investigation revealed that the Bank of Utah owns more aircraft than any other U.S. bank! Why for?

Under FAA rules trustee owners of aircraft do not have to reveal who is actually operating their aircraft, or for what reason!

Anybody remember the Iran-Contra operations?
