World War 3, West Asian Front: United States evacuating Lebanon! Preps for war with Syria!

On September 6, the Department of State drew down non-emergency personnel and family members from Embassy Beirut due to potential threats to U.S. Mission facilities and personnel.  The Department of State urges U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon because of current safety and security concerns.  U.S. citizens living and working in Lebanon should understand that they accept risks in remaining and should carefully consider those risks.

U.S. citizens concerned for their safety should consider making plans to depart by commercial means.  U.S. citizens will be responsible for arranging their own travel out of Lebanon.  Beirut International Airport is open and commercial flights are operating.  Travelers should check with their airlines prior to traveling to verify the flight schedule.  

Those who remain should prepare to depart at short notice.  This includes ensuring that travel documents for all family members are available and up to date.  U.S. citizens with valid passports and foreign dependents with valid passports or visas should not/not contact the Embassy for travel arrangements.  Rather, they should make their own arrangements directly with transportation companies or travel agents.

U.S. citizens should be aware that the Embassy does not offer “protection” services to individuals who feel unsafe.  U.S. citizens with special medical or other needs should be aware of the risks of remaining in Lebanon given their condition and should be prepared to seek treatment in Lebanon if they cannot arrange for travel out of the country. U.S. citizens traveling or residing in Lebanon who choose to remain should be aware that the U.S. Embassy’s ability to reach all areas of Lebanon is limited.  The Embassy urges all U.S. citizens in Lebanon to monitor the media for the latest developments.

There are no plans to conduct a U.S. government-sponsored evacuation at this time……..Evacuation assistance is provided on a cost-recovery basis, which means the traveler must reimburse the U.S. government for travel costs………

As staff levels at the Embassy are restricted, our ability to assist U.S. citizens in an emergency and provide routine consular services is limited and may be further constrained by the fluid security situation.  The safety of our visitors and staff is our highest priority.  Due to disruptions caused by the current environment, consular services could experience unusual delays……..

The China Metallurgical Group and Jiangxi Copper are demanding a revision of their copper mining contracts with the government of Afghanistan.  The current agreement requires the Chinese to build a new power plant, copper smelter and railway.  The Chinese companies now say they can not afford to build the power plant, smelter and railroad. The copper deal is estimated to be worth $3 billion USD.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Turkish official says U.S. backed insurgents used chemical weapons! Turkey mobilizes military troops for war!

“Four months ago, Turkish security forces found a two kilogram cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the al-Qaeda and al-Nusra. They are using our borders to take the gas into Syria.”-Mohamad Gunes, former city councilman

“America and Israel had al-Qaeda use chemical weapons in order to push us into war.  None of us wants war here! In the history of Hatay, we all lived peacefully side by side, now there is Mossad, CIA and al-Qaeda all over the place. We are worried that they might use chemical weapons against us.”-Farid Mainy, resident of Hatay

Turkish TV news reports showed convoys of wheeled army vehicles heading towards two locations along the border with Syria.  The reports also said that six military field hospitals were set up.

Reports said among the vehicles were NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) detection vehicles.  I also identified tactical recon, radar equipped and anti-aircraft vehicles armed with heat seeking Stinger or Sidewinder type missiles.

World War 3, Economic Front: G20 admits economic recovery failure! Wants new global tax! NSA spying just part of new global government personal data mining!

“Global growth prospects for 2013 have been marked down repeatedly over the last year, global rebalancing is incomplete, regional growth disparities remain wide, and unemployment, particularly among youth, remains unacceptably high. Despite our actions, the recovery is too weak, and risks remain tilted to the downside. In the last months financial market volatility has increased.”

“We welcome the establishment of the G20/OECD BEPS project and we encourage all interested countries to participate. Profits should be taxed where economic activities deriving the profits are performed and where value is created. In order to minimize BEPS, we call on member countries to examine how our own domestic laws contribute to BEPS and to ensure that international and our own tax rules do not allow or encourage multinational enterprises to reduce overall taxes paid by artificially shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions. We acknowledge that effective taxation of mobile income is one of the key challenges. We look forward to regular reporting on the development of proposals and recommendations to tackle the 15 issues identified in the Action Plan and commit to take the necessary individual and collective action with the paradigm of sovereignty taken into consideration.”

“We commend the progress recently achieved in the area of tax transparency and we fully endorse the OECD proposal for a truly global model for multilateral and bilateral automatic exchange of information. Calling on all other jurisdictions to join us by the earliest possible date, we are committed to automatic exchange of information as the new global standard, which must ensure confidentiality and the proper use of information exchanged, and we fully support the OECD work with G20 countries aimed at presenting such a new single global standard for automatic exchange of information by February 2014 and to finalizing technical modalities of effective automatic exchange by mid-2014. In parallel, we expect to begin to exchange information automatically on tax matters among G20 members by the end of 2015. We call on all countries to join the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters without further delay. We look forward to the practical and full implementation of the new standard on a global scale.“

“We recognize the importance of all countries benefitting from greater tax information exchange. We are committed to make automatic exchange of information attainable by all countries, including LICs, and will seek to provide capacity building support to them. We call on the Development Working Group in conjunction with the Finance Track, to work with the OECD, the Global Forum and other IOs to develop a roadmap showing how developing countries can overcome obstacles to participation in the emerging new standard in automatic exchange of information, and to assist them in meeting the standard in accordance with the action envisaged in the St Petersburg Development Outlook.”

“We welcome the progress achieved in developing policy recommendations for the oversight and regulation of the shadow banking system.”  Shadow banking can include those individuals who do not use banks and live off barter or cash only.  “We will ensure that this information is available in a timely fashion to law enforcement, tax collection agencies and other relevant authorities in accordance with the confidentiality legal requirements, for example through central registries or other appropriate mechanisms.”

“We support the ongoing efforts in the UN for the elaboration of the post-2015 development agenda.”

World War 3, West Asian Front: Russian officials offer to meet with U.S. officials, U.S. officials say Nyet! Putin flat out calls Kerry a liar!

“The speaker has declined the Russian embassy’s request that he meet with a delegation.”-spokesperson for Congressman John Boehner

Russian Parliament members offered to meet with U.S. Congress members, as soon as this Sunday, to avoid a major war over Syria.  U.S. officials refused!

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Obama regime stooge John Kerry flat out lied about al Qaeda in Syria: “They lie, plainly. I watched the Congressional debate. A congressman asked Mr. Kerry ‘Is there any al Qaeda? There are reports they have been growing stronger.’ [Kerry] replied, ‘No. I say with all responsibility: there is no [al Qaeda] there.’ Well, [Kerry] is lying. And he knows that he’s lying.”

There are several U.S. backed insurgent groups in Syria that have stated many times they are with al Qaeda.  They’ve also stated that they get paid and armed by the U.S. government (your tax dollars at work).  These guys have even posted video on the internet making those claims.  Read the latest New York Times article on just who the real bad guys are in Syria.

World War 3, West Asian Front: U.S. does not have global support against Syria! India, Brazil, South Africa & even the Pope join Russia & China against the U.S.!

06 September 2013 (21:45 UTC-07 Tango 05 September 2013)/01 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/15 Shahrivar 1391/02 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

“It is regrettable that, from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria, one sided interests [U.S./EU/Israel/Saudi Arabia] have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution that would have avoided the senseless massacre now unfolding. To the leaders present, to each and every one, I make a heartfelt appeal for them to help find ways to overcome the conflicting positions and to lay aside the futile pursuit of a military solution.”-letter from Pope Francis to Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the opening day of the G20 meeting

At today’s G20 meeting in Russia, the members of the BRICS made it clear to the Obama regime they will not back the U.S. in an attack on Syria.  Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa can put their money where their mouths are, because they have money and the U.S. doesn’t!

For the past week Indian officials have been stating that a U.S. led war on Syria would be a disaster.  Chinese leaders say it would destroy the global economy (maybe that’s what the leaders of the cash strapped U.S. want?).

South African leaders hypocritically say nobody should get involved with regime change, even though South Africa has been led, by the U.S. Africa Command, into wars in neighboring African countries.

Brazilian officials said they would support a U.S. led attack on Syria, but only if it was sanctioned by the United Nations: “Force should be used only in self defense, as stipulated in the United Nations Charter, or under special authorization from a UN Security Council resolution….”-Luiz Alberto Figueiredo, Foreign Minister of Brazil

That’s not going to happen.  UN  Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated “There is no military solution.”  And reports say evil U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, has given up trying to convince the UN Security Council to vote for war.

The Jerusalem Post, citing Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Okaz news source, says Hezbollah has trained 10-thousand new volunteers for the defense of Damascus, Syria!

Unnamed Hezbollah sources said they knew a U.S./Israeli/Saudi war on Syria was a done deal.  However, Hezbollah claims no major attack on Israel unless green lighted by Iran.

World War 3, West Asian Front: John Kerry reveals U.S. troops are just tools in the hands of Saudi Arabia!

05 September 2013 (12:55 UTC-07 Tango)/29 Shawwal 1434/14 Shahrivar 1391/01 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

John Kerry, of the Obama regime, has admitted to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will pay the United States to go to war against Syria: “With respect to Arab countries offering to bear costs and to assist, the answer is profoundly yes, they have. That offer is on the table………… In fact, some of them have said that if the U.S. is prepared to go do the whole thing, the way we’ve done it previously in other places, they’ll carry that cost.”
