“This will be the first occasion there has been a formal joint deployment under the UN mandate of mission involving our defence forces and the U.K.”-Alan Shatter, Republic of Ireland’s Minister of Defence

Reports that troops from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have arrived in Mali, to help back up the ongoing French occupation of the West African country.

Irish media reporting that the whole invasion of Mali, by the French in January 2013, was part of European Union (EU) plans made in December 2012, which was called a “training mission” by the EU.  The use of British and Irish troops is also being officially called a UN mandated training mission!

The United States is establishing more drone bases throughout Africa, and France recently sent troops into the Central African country of Central African Republic.

World War 3: North Korea cuts off remaining phone lines, Kim Jong Un issues never before heard order, tells UN that South Korea will be nuked!

27 March 2013/15 Jumada l-Ula 1434/07 Farvardin 1391/16 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea cutoff the last phone line to the Republic of Korea.  It was a line used to coordinate the movement of workers from South Korea to an industrial complex in North Korea.

DPRK officials said they will have no more communications with ROK or the U.S.  It also indicates they are willing to end the industrial/economic agreement with ROK.

Yesterday,  Kim Jong Un issued a “combat duty posture number one” order, saying military units needed to be ready to strike.  U.S. officials blew it off as rhetoric.  South Korean analysts say they’ve never heard of such an order from North Korea, so they are a little concerned.

To add to that the DPRK sent the UN Security Council a message saying the whole thing is the fault of the United States, and that if it came to war the North would definitely nuke the South: “….The DPRK has its own powerful precision means for nuclear attack and nuclear war methods.  The south Korean puppets who are behaving recklessly under their master’s nuclear umbrella will experience a sound by-blow of a nuclear attack when a war breaks out between the DPRK and the U.S…….the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK openly informs the UN Security Council that the Korean Peninsula is now in a touch-and-go situation due to the nuclear war provocation moves of the U.S. and south Korean puppets.  The DPRK army and people that have become one with the Supreme Command are entering the final stage of the all-out showdown with the U.S…..”

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 22 – 26 March 2013. Co-ordinated attacks by Mujahideen! More U.S./U.K. troops killed! Aussies getting out! U.S. finally hands over Bagram prison! Proof the U.S. has been negotiating with Mujahideen!

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) reports a soldier died from wounds he received earlier this month.

In Kandahar Province, reports of a major battle in Najibyano area of Zangawat region, Panjwai (aka Panjwaye, Panjwaii, Panjway or Panjwaee) district.  Reports that two medivac helicopters were brought in.

In Helmand Province, a major attack against a U.K./NATO base.  60 people killed or wounded, including 10 British Red Coats. Mujahideen say it was launched using a truck bomb blowing open the gates and then individuals invading the base in Nad Ali district.   Also, reports that U.S./U.K. led force conducted home invasions in Yakhchal area of Nahr Siraj region, Gerishk district, kidnapping two people.

In Badakhshan Province, Mujahideen have successfully counter attacked an Afghan government offensive in Wardoj/Wardaj district (see below).   Mujahideen say they re-captured several check points and killed 15 government troops.

In Nangarhar Province, a Afghan police headquarters in Jalalabad was attacked by suicide bombers.  At least five cops killed, four wounded.  Police say a car bomber started the attack, then two or three others wearing explosive vests exploded themselves and the rest were shot and killed in a firefight. Mujahideen claim one U.S. led police trainer was also killed (they say the trainer was actually from Israel), along with claiming as many as 55 people killed or wounded.

In Ghor Province, residents of Ghujorak village say contracted security forces set fire to their homes. They also say the private security forces burned Qur’ans.

Stephen Smith, Australian Defence Minister, said 1000 Diggers will be withdrawn by the end of 2013, once an international military base is closed in Uruzgan Province.

In Badakhshan Province, Mujahideen claim to have captured ten Afghan National Army (ANA) troops and one doctor.  This is the latest incident in Badakhshan Province since the beginning of March (see below).  Government officials say they launched an all out offensive against Mujahideen this month, but it looks like they’re losing their asses because several dozens of ANA troops have been killed or captured. One of those captured is a German NGO aid worker.  ANA forces freed the German during a military operation.

In Maidan Wardak Province, Mujahideen have launched an offensive, seeking vengeance for the crimes of U.S. led SOF forces. In Syed Abad district they ambushed a military convoy, then a firefight that lasted one hour. Mujahideen say they also hit two armored vehicles with remote detonated bombs, killing or wounding the crews.

After months of delays, the United States has finally handed over the infamous Bagram prison (aka Parwan Detention Facility).  However, at least 100 prisoners are still under U.S. control.  Afghan officials immediately released 26 prisoners.  Most prisoners, put there by U.S. forces, have never been charged or even accused of any crimes, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time and happen to be males of ‘military age’ (a standard Israeli tactic used on Palestinians). But U.S. taxpayers should be happy, because their tax dollars will continue funding the prison even after the U.S. gets out!   (reports say the U.S. has promised $39 million USD to keep the prison running)

In Kandahar Province, four children were killed and two wounded when they stepped on a landmine.

In Herat Province, Shindand district, a private security guard shot and killed a 12 years old boy.  Residents of Siyah Sar village then went on protest, shutting down the local highway for two hours before more private security guards came out and began shooting into the crowd. At least seven people wounded.

After U.S. officials denied President Hamid Karzai’s claim that the U.S. and Mujahideen were going behind the Afghan government’s back and negotiating in Qatar, guess who’s just been invited to those secret meetings?  Karzai!  Karzai has been complaining that the establishment of the Mujahideen/Taliban office in Qatar (with the approval of the U.S. government) was an insult to Afghanistan because the Afghan government was not involved. Now there are reports that Karzai will be able to hold direct talks with Mujahideen in Qatar.  Keep in mind that many Mujahideen do not recognize the “Taliban Liaison Office” in Qatar, as they see it as a tool of the United States.

22 March 2013/10 Jumada l-Ula 1434/02 Farvardin 1391/11 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

In Kunar Province, a U.S. led Counter Terrorism Pursuit Team (CTPT) launched an offensive in Narang district. Reports say fighting lasted five hours. Mujahideen claim they killed three U.S. personnel and three Afghan government personnel.  One Mujahid killed, one wounded.

ISAF said: “An International Security Assistance Force service member died following an improvised explosive device attack in eastern Afghanistan…”

In Badghis Province, a local cop turned on his comrades, killing five of them.  Police officials say he did it with help from Mujahideen.

Government Evil: Israel controls taxation in Palestine, has stolen $100 million per month in tax revenues meant for Palestine!

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Last year, when the UN officially recognized Palestine the supposedly non-racist (a claim made by Obama) zionist Israeli government retaliated by seizing tax revenues for Palestine.  It amounted to Israel stealing $100 million USD per month for the past four months from the Palestinians!

Under Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, they are able to directly control tax collections, and this is not the first time the ‘non-racist’ Israelis have held back on Palestinian tax revenues.

How would you like it if another country was collecting your taxes and decided to keep it for themselves?  This is yet another reason why Palestinians are justified and the Israelis are evil racists!

World War 3: Japan moves army HQ onto U.S. base! Preps for war with North Korea/China?

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

The Japanese Ground Self Defense Forces (GSDF) have moved their headquarters onto the U.S. Army’s Camp Zama in Kanagawa Prefecture.  Camp Zama (FAC 3079) is the HQ of the U.S. Army component of U.S. Forces Japan.

The move was publicized in U.S. military media outlets at the end of February.  The Japanese Air Self Defense Forces (ASDF) HQ moved onto their new location, on Yokota Air Base (FAC 3013), with the U.S. Air Force last April.

Japanese media reports the moves were planned back in 2005-06.  Japanese and U.S. military officials say it’s all part of the plan to realign U.S. and Japanese forces for what is expected to be the next big “security challenges”.

Already Japanese elected (not, because Japanese courts have ruled successive elections void and unconstitutional) members of the Diet have already amended their U.S. imposed constitution to allow Japanese military to take part in ‘peacekeeping’ operations. Just last week Prime Minister Abe told President Obama they would have to amend it again to allow for their personnel to be used in combat alongside U.S. personnel  (the Japanese media reported that Obama asked for Japanese troops in case of a new war with Korea).

Vietnam pigs dying by thousands! Two people dead! Blame ol’ Blue Ear!

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

While China is dealing with more than 16000 dead pigs in the Pengshan River, to the south, in Vietnam, pigs have been dying of Blue Ear.

Back in February, Vietnamese officials began operations to combat the spread of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV).  Thousands of pigs were infected at that point.  So far thousands have died or been killed.

Officials blamed the virus on the deaths of two butchers, however they died of a swine bacteria, not a virus.

A year ago Vietnam’s Agriculture Ministry declared their country free of Blue Ear disease. But as is the case for famous last words, new cases popped up just a few months later.

Recently officials in Long An and Quang Nam provinces stated they had the disease contained.

However, entire herds have been wiped out in Dien Kim and Dien Thai Communes of Dien Chau District, as well as Quynh Thach, Quynh Van and Quynh Xuan Communes in Quynh Luu District, and five communes in Yen Thanh District.

New outbreaks are being reported in Dien Chau District.

World War 3: South Korea hacked again!

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Yet another cyber attack in Republic of Korea.  Websites and affiliated companies of YTN TV network became unviewable to audiences.

Also, live internet services went down in eight municipalities. The National Police Agency is still investigating last weeks cyber attack.  So far they’ve traced multiple attacks to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in Europe, United States and even South Korea.  (previously everyone was blaming North Korea and China)

New Bird Flu? First pigs now thousands of dead ducks pulled from river! Pigs in river now past 16000!

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

In Sichuan Province, China, locals have been pulling dead ducks from the Pengshan River.  At least 1000 so far.

Health officials are not able to determine what killed the ducks, as most were too decomposed.  Officials say there is no concern over the water in the Pengshan as it’s not used for drinking.

However, over in Zhejiang and Shanghai provinces the Huangpu River is used for drinking, and that’s where the number of dead pigs has hit 16000!

A week ago health officials blamed weather, government cuts and the economy for the pig deaths.

Nursing shortage continues for Japan, only 30 applicants pass new certification test!

26 March 2013/14 Jumada l-Ula 1434/06 Farvardin 1391/15 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Japan is so desperate for nurses that they’ve eased up on testing requirements for foreign applicants, yet only 9.5% passed the latest exam.

Last year officials said they were making this year’s test easier regarding Japanese language skills, and they were adding 30 minutes to the test.  Obviously it’s not enough.

Officials say those who failed, but reached a certain score will be allowed to stay in Japan one more year to help prepare for their next exam.

Even some Japanese wanna-be nurses have trouble with the certification.  This year 88.8% of Japanese who took the test passed.

Government Incompetence & World War 3: Now South Korea accuses one of its own for cyber attacks!

25 March 2013/13 Jumada l-Ula 1434/05 Farvardin 1391/14 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“We traced some IP addresses found on MBC and YTN computer networks to overseas sources like the U.S. and a few European countries. We’re still trying to find out who is behind the attacks on the other institutions.”-Korean [South] Communications Commission

Republic of Korea’s (ROK) National Police Agency (NPA) now blaming one of their own corporations for part of the massive cyber attack last week!

In a cyber attack originally blamed on China and Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the NPA now says what they thought was a Chinese IP address is actually the IP address of a single employee with the South Korean corporation Nonghyup.

Other attacks have been traced to European and U.S. IP addresses.  However, NPA officials are still claiming the attacks were originally launched from North Korea, although it’s pure speculation because they admit they have no proof at this point.
