Mystery dog deaths in the U.S., China strikes again! Your local butcher can sell you healthy soup bones & meat scraps for less money!

23 October 2013 (20:16 UTC-07 Tango 22 October 2013)/18 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/01 Aban 1391/19 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now blaming jerky dog and cat treats made in China for years of mystery deaths.

Since 2007 more than 3600 dogs and 10 cats have gotten sick, 580 pets have died.  The FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine has narrowed down the cause to duck or chicken jerky treats made in China.  They want pet owners to report to them if their pet has gotten sick or died after eating the treats.

I have an answer: I’ve been buying soup bones and meat scraps from local butchers.  I’ve been able to get them for less than not only what dog and cat treats cost, but sometimes less than canned and dry pet food (sometimes I can get fresh cut soup bones, with lots-o-meat on ’em, from WinCo, for about one dollar per pound)!   The majority of dog and cat food is not meat, but grains and other fillers, even the expensive brands.  Dogs and cats are carnivores (in fact we humans share a similar digestive system, which should tell you we are carnivores), meat scraps from your local butcher are better for them than processes and expensive pet food or treats!

What’s in a Prophecy? Pope Francis says ideological Christians are sick in the head! Wants to unite all western Christians!

23 October 2013 (20:01 UTC-07 Tango 22 October 2013)/18 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/01 Aban 1391/19 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“The faith passes, so to speak, through a distiller and becomes ideology, and ideology does not beckon. In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. Ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid.  When a Christian becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the faith: he is no longer a disciple of Jesus, he is a disciple of this attitude of thought…..For this reason Jesus said to them: ‘You have taken away the key of knowledge.’……it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness…..”-Pope Francis, on Radio Vatican 17 October

Francis also blamed arrogant Christian right wingism on false praying.

Today, Pope Francis ordered Catholics to pray for other Christian denominations, specifically for reunification with Lutherans: “But we Catholics must pray with each other and other Christians. Pray that the Lord gift us unity!.………..Catholics and Lutherans can ask forgiveness for the harm they have caused one another and for their offenses committed in the sight of God. Together we can rejoice in the longing for unity which the Lord has awakened in our hearts, and which makes us look with hope to the future.”

“I already hear concerns that the reformist church of 76-year-old Pope Francis might not survive his pontificate. I hear talk that the anti-reformists who took back the Second Vatican Council will likely do it again once Francis is gone….will Francis fade like the council, a meteorite in the night sky? Francis is the first pontiff educated during the council. He is a product of the council. In this sense, he is the first post-conciliar pontiff.”-Thomas C. Fox, Catholic National Reporter

“Seven months after ascending the throne of Saint Peter, Pope Francis is in the midst of a crusade against the sins of Vatican City……Francis personally moved to oust top officials of the secretive Vatican bank…..backed a push for greater financial transparency, while moving faster than many expected to replace Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone……who once wielded the power of a vice pope……the pope is preparing to consolidate the Curia’s myriad operations, with the aim of reducing the size of the bureaucracy. Francis has recently suggested that clerics should focus on their home dioceses rather than angle for prestigious postings in the Holy See. His new advisory board of eight cardinals from around the globe is seen as a counterweight to the power of Vatican-based authorities.”-The Independent, 23 October

Esquire Magazine declared Pope Francis the most interesting man in the world.

“Speaking of Pope Francis, obviously as an observant Catholic, I believe the pope is infallible. But he’s also wrong about a lot of things.”-Stephen Colbert

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 04-06 October 2013: Taxpayers fund World’s largest solar power plant! U.S. kills people hunting for food!

“Thousands of our men have been martyred and as for your soldiers, we did not go after them to other countries. They came to our country and they have been torturing us and have sabotaged our government!….We are approaching total success as most of the country is now under our control…..when NATO leaves it will be as it was before, the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan.”-Qari Nasrullah

Bamyan Province: Taxpayers in New Zealand can be proud that they’ve paid for the World’s largest “off grid” solar power project!  It cost $18 million USD.

Farah Province: Bala Baluk District, U.S. led NATO forces launched an attack, destroying one Mosque and several homes.  Four Mujahideen killed, one Mujahid killed.

Farayb Province: Qaisar District, two Afghan border police were killed, nine wounded when a bicycle bomb exploded.

Kandahar Province: Zhari District, four U.S. Army personnel were killed by explosion. They were from California, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Oregon.  U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Command said one of those killed was a CID agent assisting Special Forces in investigating a possible crime by U.S. personnel.  Mujahideen say they were defending their area from a heliborne op by U.S. forces.  They say dozens of U.S.-NATO personnel were wounded from multiple explosions.  Mujahideen say they captured M4 assault rifles, a rocket launcher, three night vision goggles and other equipment.

Kunduz Province: During a surprise visit the German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere, and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerewelle, turned over one of the German army bases to the Afghan government. The unnamed base is in the northern part of the province.

Helmand Province: A U.S. Marine Lance Corporal from Wisconsin was killed in a non-combat incident.  That’s the officials U.S. story, however, Mujahideen claim they killed one, and wounded another, U.S. personnel in a firefight in Nad Ali District.

Maidan Wardak Province: Chak District, Israeli style U.S. led Afghan government home invasions left eight people dead, and five people were kidnapped.

Nangarhar Province: U.S.-NATO airstrike kills five civilians hunting for food!  Local police confirm a group of as many as 20 men were out hunting wild birds for food!  Police say the men were using air powered rifles, not military weapons.  U.S.-NATO officials are refusing to comment.  In Khogiyani District, a man was kidnapped by U.S. led government forces during an Israeli style home invasion.

Nuristan Province: Wama District, a police chief was killed while on his way to inspect police personnel.  His vehicle ran over a landmine.

Zabul Province: A U.S. Army Specialist from Ohio was killed in a Green on Blue attack.  The Afghan government personnel was killed.

The Afghan Interior Ministry claims that 107 Mujahideen were killed, and 52 captured in military ops around the country.

Mujahideen claim another dozen or more Afghan police and army personnel have switched sides.

“…..67% of the 72,000 equipment items have already been removed from our Marine Corps portion of the joint and coalition Afghanistan battle space. We have reduced 5.35 million square feet of aviation matting to 150 thousand square feet today. Additionally, of the over 42,000 total items retrograded to date, 60% of those are being inducted for reset actions at our depot maintenance plants.”-USMC Lieutenant General William Faulkner

“One cost driver is multi-modal transportation. While over the past several months multi-modal has been the primary means to move retrograde and redeployment cargo out of Afghanistan, projected volumes of cargo along the Pakistan Ground Lines of Communication are increasing and are currently trending at or near 50%. Surface lines of communication, the Northern Distribution Network and PAKGLOC are critical to achieving the retrograde velocity necessary to meet timelines and they are less expensive than multi-modal and direct air transportation.”-U.S. Army Lieutenant General Raymon Mason

World War 3, South East Asian Front: Japan & Vietnam practice war on China, under the guise of rescue ops!

21 October 2013 (05:06 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/29 Mehr 1391/17 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Japan’s Maritime Self Defense Force is taking part in “rescue” games with the navy of Vietnam.

It’s interesting that some of the crews of the rescue training operations took part in familiarization with anti-ship missiles!  The three Japanese ships taking part are totally combat oriented, and are not true rescue ships.  Japanese naval officers also gave their Vietnamese counterparts a computer presentation about the combat capabilities of the Japanese ships.

Japan and Vietnam have increased military relations, in July the Japanese Coast Guard made a port call in Da Nang.

Several Japanese and Vietnamese news sources admitted that Vietnam and Japan are joining forces against China in ongoing territorial disputes.  Japan occupied Vietnam during World War 2, claiming they were liberating the country from French control.

During the Second World War, the U.S. government promised the Vietnamese independence if they rescued U.S. aircrew who were shot down by the Japanese.  Then after the war the U.S. government stabbed them in the back by letting France retake control of Indochina.

Japan is now a major lender of official development assistance (ODA) to Vietnam.

Vietnam has also contracted with Japanese companies to build nuclear power plants.  Why isn’t the U.S. government upset over that?

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 01-03 October 2013: Russia building up troops on border, preps for invasion? Obama regime allows Al Qaeda leader to run for president! More hypocrisy with taxpayer money! More illegal imprisonment by U.S. forces!

Helmand Province: Lashkargah City, Afghanistan’s version of Homeland Security, National Directorate of Security (NDS), bragged that they stopped a suicide bombing operation.  Guess what happened?  Major explosions rang out right after their claim.  A car bomb went off.  In a related incident, the mayor and a district assistant, from Garmsir District, were ambushed and assassinated by Mujahideen while they traveled to Lashkargah City.  In Nawa District, four Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed when they drove over a landmine.  Two soldiers wounded.

Herat Province: One ANA soldier and two civilians wounded when an army vehicle ran over a landmine.

Kunar Province:  An attorney for NDS was assassinated by remote detonated bomb, as he drove to work. His body guards were wounded.

Parwan Province: Near Bagram airbase, the Investigating Fates of Prisoners Committee confirms that out of 519 cases investigated so far at least 433 Afghans have been unjustly imprisoned in the Parwan Detention Center (aka Afghanistan GITMO) by the U.S. military.  That’s an extremely high rate of illegal detentions!  The Parwan Detention Center was only recently turned over to the Afghan government by the United States.   There were more than 3-thousand people trapped inside at the time of the turnover.  Afghan courts have been releasing those prisoners where the U.S. has failed to provide documentation accusing them of a crime. This begs the question; why did the U.S. military imprison them?

“Afghan National Security Forces carried out several cleanup raids in Nangarhar, Faryab, Kandahar, Uruzgan and Ghazni provinces within the last 24 hours. As a result 26 armed Taliban were killed, two wounded and seven others were arrested by the ANSF”-Afghan Interior Ministry statement

Remember all the hate rhetoric about Osama bin Laden being responsible for creating al Qaeda, and providing them safe haven in Afghanistan?  Turns out that was BS!  So now that Osama bin Laden is dead the actual person responsible for bringing al Qaeda to Afghanistan is now running for President!  Abu Sayyaf is so influential that even an al Qaeda rebel group in the Philippines named themselves after him.  Abu Sayyaf is considered the mentor to Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the man accused of planning the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.  So why did the U.S. have to kill Osama, and why haven’t they gone after Abu Sayyaf?

Speaking of the NDS, investigators looked into the kidnapping of a female member of parliament (remember that one?) and now accuse the woman’s brother of orchestrating the kidnapping.  I was suspicious when the family repeatedly denied the woman had been kidnapped, even though nobody could explain where she was.

Reports that a former Afghan National Army soldier was arrested in Pakistan.  He’s wanted for killing three Australian Diggers. But get this, according to the Aussie government the guy was arrested back in February!  No explanation why they waited until now to report it.

Taxpayers from dozens of U.S. led NATO member countries are spending $200-million USD to teach Afghan soldiers how to read, this while NATO member countries slash and burn their own education funding!

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is warning that a new program could waste another $1-billion in U.S. tax money.  The wise U.S. leaders are planning to give the Afghan National Police (ANP) unlimited U.S. tax dollars so the ANP can buy fuel, without oversight: “The ANP fuel program….remains at high risk of loss, theft, or misuse of U.S. funds and purchased fuel and, if not improved, may increasingly place large amounts of U.S. funds at risk of fraud, waste, and abuse.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

The Afghan Mines and Petroleum Ministry estimates that Afghanistan’s mineral resources, including oil, are worth about $1 trillion.  However, one analyst has a warning: “The sector, as a whole, is operating in a very uncontrolled way. There’s no oversight.”-Stephen Carter, Global Witness

In a now typical hypocritical move, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would allow Iraqis who worked for the U.S. government to extend their visas.  This after the U.S. State Department began reneging on visas issued to Afghans who work for the U.S. government.

Tajikistan has allowed Russia to station more troops on their border with Afghanistan.  Also, Russia has promised to increase military weaponry to Tajikistan.  Russian and Tajik officials admit their military buildup is in preparation for the supposed 2014 U.S.-NATO pullout.  The renewed Russian-Tajik military pact is in effect until 2042!

Obama regime bold face liars: United Nations has proof U.S. regime killing civilians with drones! Violating international law! U.S. citizens “future” targets of drones!

“….if there are terrorists within an area where there are women and children, or others, we do not [stress added by speaker] take such action…In fact I can say…there hasn’t been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency, precision of the capabilities that we’ve been able to develop.”-John O. Brennan, Obama regime adviser, during the question and answer session after his speech to Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, 29 June 2011. The answer to the question is not on the official White house transcript but can be viewed about 49:30 minutes into C-SPAN video

“Zero innocent civilians having lost their lives does not sound to me like reality….”-USAF Colonel David M. Sullivan, commenting on Obama regime’s claims of no civilians killed in 2011

“America’s actions are legal.”-Barack Obama, May 2013 speech to National Defense University, he was repeatedly interrupted by people wanting to know why GITMO prison was still in operation

“The position of the Government of Pakistan is quite clear. It does not consent to the use of drones by the United States on its territory and it considers this to be a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. As a matter of international law the U.S. drone campaign in Pakistan is…..a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty…….”-The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Statement of the Special Rapporteur following meetings in Pakistan, 19 October 2013

In May 2013, Barack Obama finally admitted that civilians were being killed by drones: “…it is a hard fact that U.S. strikes have resulted in civilian casualties…”

He also stated that he’s not the only one responsible: “….Not only did Congress authorize the use of force, it is briefed on every strike that America takes.  Every strike.”

In the same speech Obama also has these ominous warnings for the people of the United States: “From our use of drones to the detention of terrorist suspects, the decisions that we are making now will define the type of nation, and world, that we leave to our children.

We have to be mindful of James Madison’s warning that ‘No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.’

….we face a real threat from radicalized individuals here in the United States…….Deranged or alienated individuals, often U.S. citizens or legal residents…..

This is the future of terrorism.”

In September 2013, the artist who created Obama’s Hope election campaign art, Shepard Fairey, admitted he has regrets.  TMZ paparazzi asked if there was something he could change, his reply was that he would replace the slogan Hope, with the slogan Drones!

Martial Law U.S.A.: TSA security is not targeting terrorists! Fake exemptions expanded for frequent flyers!

17 October 2013 (13:42 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/25 Mehr 1391/13 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“If another 9/11 happens, you will not recognize this country.”-Andrew Jurchenko, retired U.S. Army Colonel, commenting on expanding TSA powers

Out of Arizona: “America’s Friendliest Airport” is now America’s Martial Law Airport.

The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has registered numerous complaints against gestapo Transportation Security Administration agents, complaints coming from people as old as 92 years who said they were humiliated and terrorized.  Apparently most of those targeted are disabled people with fake body parts.

TSA announced an expansion of their privileged Trusted Traveler Program, which supposedly allows club members to skip martial law searches!  The TTP is being expanded to 350 airports in 2014.

A civil rights activist warned that just because your a TTP member doesn’t mean Big Brother/Sister isn’t watching you: “If you sign up, you’ll want to keep your nose clean for the rest of your life. Because that’s how long the FBI will keep your fingerprints.”-Gregory Nojeim, Center for Democracy and Technology

Infowars/Prison Planet has discovered that Public Access to Court Electronic Records, PACER.gov, has federal court documents that reveale that the country has been and still is under martial law: “…as a result of an ‘order’ of the TSA and that Congress had stripped the district courts of jurisdiction…” 

The court documents show that the TSA has been taking baby steps to increased use of martial law prison tactics: “….in 2002, a limited pat-down procedure was in place for secondary screening. This procedure…..did not include any touching of the ‘sensitive areas’ of travelers……..In September 2004….the TSA modified the pat-down procedure to include touching the breasts of female travelers……in 2010, the TSA discontinued all use of hand-held metal detectors, for reasons that have never been explained.”

TSA uses full body pat downs as well as electromagnetic nude body scanners.  Documents show TSA employees continually violate their own rules of how full body pat downs are conducted. It is also pointed out that Germany refused to adopt the U.S. TSA nude body scanner system, due to 35% failure rate.  France refused due to high failure rate of system.

TSA had access to three other search systems, but capriciously choose the nude body scanners.  The TSA rejected the use of 95% effective, and far cheaper, bomb sniffing dogs!  The TSA is actually receiving taxpayer funding for bomb sniffing dogs!

The second rejected search device was the ETP machines, which detected chemicals that could be used for explosives, although the same chemicals can be found in sausages.   TSA discontinued the EPT use because of operational costs, not lack of effectiveness.  I can attest to the EPT effectiveness because sausages bought in Idaho and heading to California via the Pocatello Airport, popped up as bombs on the EPT.  Sausages contain nitrates, they were allowed to fly on to California.

TSA also has another chemical detector, ETD.  But court documents show they are considered secondary, backup systems, and are rarely used, even though they are effective and cheaper than both EPT and nude body scanners.

The documents point out that not once has the TSA caught a true terrorist.

Even TSA’s own documentation showed there is no justification to their martial law tactics: “….explosives brought on board airplanes…..happened outside of the United States…..even on the global scale, including Middle Eastern countries with extreme civil unrest and a high prevalence of improvised explosive devices….explosives on airplanes are extremely rare……the TSA analyzed hijackings in 2007, and found 7 hijacking incidents across the globe, but none of them involved actual explosive devices.”

The court documents then point out “The hijackers on 9/11 had no explosives; only knives………This begs the question, then, of what evidence the government possesses to rationalize that we should be so afraid of non-metallic explosives being brought aboard flights departing from the U.S. that we must sacrifice our civil liberties. The answer: there is none.”

The only conclusion we can come to is that the dictatorial elites of the United States used the threat of terrorism as a False Flag to impose martial law and turn you into slaves!

You need to read the entire court document, because there is way more than what I’ve posted.

Germany pulls self out of Depression by defaulting on unfairly imposed debt!

16 October 2013 (15:01 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/24 Mehr 1391/12 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Germany suffered more than a decade of massive economic depression, but suddenly became an economic powerhouse almost overnight.  How?  They defaulted on the unfairly imposed debts!

Defaulting means you tell those you owe money to, sorry we no got it.  So why does the government of the United States want to take on more debt by raising the debt limit (by the way Obama recently lied and told the citizens that raising the debt limit does not increase U.S. government debt!!!)?

After the First World War, France, Italy and United Kingdom imposed unfair reparations on Germany.  They blamed Germany for the war even though it was actually started by the Austro-Hungarian empire.  Germany was targeted because the war actually destroyed the Austro-Hungarian empire, and the winners wanted someone to pay for it.

This hog tied the new Weimar government of Germany, as they tried to make the outrageous payments.   It was turned into a devastating economic depression by the irrational decision by France and United Kingdom to shut down Germany’s money making industries!!!  That action resulted in massive unemployment and basically stopped tax revenues that the Weimar government relied on to make the reparations payments!  I’ve read historical books that say this was intentional on the part of France and United Kingdom, because the real goal of reparations was to destroy the new country of Germany (the political entity known as Germany did not come into existence until 1871).

The reparations also resulted in a debt financed economic explosion in the United States known as The Roaring 20s.  France and United Kingdom were borrowing money from U.S. against the promised reparations money from Germany.

But Germany was also borrowing money from the United States to be able to make their reparations payments!  So like the U.S. government today, the German Weimar government was digging itself deeper by essentially raising its debt limit by borrowing money from the U.S. to pay France and United Kingdom.

The loans and other financial help from the U.S. made things look, on paper, better than they actually were in Germany.  That’s the mirage of debt financing.

So from 1920 to 1932 Germany was economically devastated, thousands of people starved to death, how did Germany get out of it?  They went bankrupt and defaulted!

In retaliation the United States began economic sanctions against Germany in 1933 (apparently they didn’t apply to Ford, GM and IBM), the same year that German dictator Hindenburg made Adolph Hitler the new Chancellor.  Despite the U.S. sanctions Germany became an economic powerhouse virtually overnight.

To be sure Germany got itself into new debts, but new debts weren’t being used to make unfair reparations payments, they were used to create new jobs by re-starting major industries the French and British shut down.  You understand?  They brought the jobs home.

In 1933, the year after default, Gross National Income jumped from negative percentage to plus 6% of Gross National Product, and remained above 7% until the Second World War.  Germany was still in debt but the jobs were now there to create the tax revenues to pay those government debt, instead of continually borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. In other words, the debts were being paid with real money, not fake debt money.

It was the Second World War that destroyed Germany’s booming economy, which is more proof that war destroys your economy.

The lesson?  The war weary United States will not save its long term economy by raising its debt limit and continuing its War on Terror!

Exceptional Failed State: Too Big to Jail Chase bank imposes martial law on your bank account! Other World banks prepping for financial collapse!

“Starting November 17, 2013:- You will no longer be able to send international wire transfers……- Your cash activity limit for these accounts(s) will be $50,000 per statement cycle, per account…….These changes will help us more effectively manage the risks….”-official letter sent to Chase customers

“US banks have been stocking cash machines with extra funds to satisfy any consumer panic in the days before a possible default.  Three of the country’s top-10 banks said they were putting into place a ‘playbook’ last used in August 2011 when the government last came close to breaching the debt ceiling.”-The Financial Times  (note that U.S. is not punctuated as should be under American grammar rules, that’s because Financial Times is a British empire company using Queen’s English grammar rules, this is also how you can tell that your U.S. news sources are controlled by the British empire)

“I would expect the Bank of England to be planning for it.  I’d expect private-sector actors to be doing that, and in other countries as well….”-Jon Cunliffe, Bank of England, in statement regarding U.S. financial collapse to U.K. parliament

“Today we agreed the next big step in making London, already the global center for finance, a major global center for trading and now investing the Chinese currency….”-George Osborne, U.K. Exchequer, revealing that the British empire is prepping to abandon the U.S. dollar and switch to the Chinese yuan as the new World default currency

“We have to find a solution now! The next financial crisis is not going to wait for us.”-Michel Barnier, European Union

“The effectiveness of this exercise [to identify cash starved banks] will depend on the availability of necessary arrangements for recapitalizing banks….including through the provision of a public backstop [taxpayer bailouts]. These arrangements must be in place before we conclude our assessment.”-Mario Draghi, Germany based European Central Bank, concerning at least 130 vulnerable European banks

Note that preventing citizens from sending money out of the country (see above, Chase bank) is proof that the country is a Failed State.  Is this what Obama means by “exceptionalism”?

World War 3, African Front: U.S. behind genocide against Nigerian Muslims?

16 October 2013 (02:15 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/24 Mehr 1391/12 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“The United States is invested in Nigeria’s success because Nigeria’s challenges are Africa’s challenges.”-William Burns, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State

“The evidence we’ve gathered suggests that hundreds of people died in military custody in 2013 alone. This is a staggeringly high figure that requires urgent action….”-Lucy Freeman, Amnesty International

Amnesty International says they’ve confirmed reports from earlier this year, and from last year, that Muslim men are being killed in several prison camps in Nigeria.  In the first six months of this year at least 950 men have died, many from suffocation, beatings and starvation.

Officially the people thrown into the camps are called militants by the U.S. backed government. Some reports say men are being rounded up just for being Muslim.

Nigeria is the main focus of U.S. AfriCom, and U.S. and European corporations.

U.S. taxpayers gave the Nigerian government $31.3 million USD, to conduct rigged elections!

U.S. AfriCom trains the military forces of Nigeria.

Black Agenda Reports has connected Obama to Royal Dutch Shell.  In 2010 the United Nations accused Shell of ecocide and genocide in the name of oil.  This was partly based on Shell’s own documentation it provided to the UN.

Amnesty International said the concentration camps are officially known as barracks, and include Giwa and Sector Alpha.

Witnesses told Amnesty that soldiers would also remove prisoners telling them they were going to die.  In April 2013, Amnesty International documented the dumping of 20 emaciated bodies by Nigeria’s U.S. trained Joint Task Force at the State Specialist Hospital mortuary.  Witnesses told Amnesty that such dumping of emaciated bodies, by U.S. trained forces, was a daily occurrence.

The bodies pile up until the morgue is full, then they are taken away by the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency.  I have checked reports on the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency and found that they have been burying people in mass graves since at least 2008!  (is that environmentally protective, or just a military convenience?)

Is this what Obama means by “exceptionalism”?
