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!

“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.

World War 3: Japan to amend constitution to allow Japanese military to fight alongside the U.S. in new Korean War!

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

Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, agreed to help President Barack Obama in preparations for war with Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  Abe is asking the Diet to amend Article 9 of Japan’s constitution.

Currently Japan’s U.S. imposed constitution does not allow the Japanese to take part in military action outside the country.  It has been recently amended to allow for ‘peacekeeping’ operations. Abe reminded Obama that Japan’s constitution would have to be changed in order for Japan to help the U.S. against DPRK.

Abe’s request would allow the Japanese Self Defense Forces (SDF) to be used in Korea, under the guise of collective self defense alongside U.S. troops. This is not the first time that Japan was allowed to change their U.S. imposed constitution, the first time was during the First Korean War.

World War 3: U.S. & South Korea have new military pact! North Korea is right, U.S. has been building up troops in violation of agreement!

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

The United States and Republic of Korea have signed a new military pact, giving South Korea the lead in any reaction to attack from North Korea.  The U.S. Forces Korea would act in a support role (and would involve U.S. Forces Japan and U.S. Pacific Command).

This comes after reports that the United States has been increasing military personnel in South Korea.  According to a 2008 agreement there are supposed to be only 28500 U.S. military personnel in ROK.  However, even the most recent U.S. Department of Defense documents show troop strength has actually been increased over the past few years, exactly as North Korea claims.

The 2012 Base Structure Report shows 37354 U.S. personnel in south Korea as of September 2011.  Some analysts think the increase is from the Iraq pullout, and have pointed out that such increases are being seen in Germany, Japan and even Kuwait.

This suggests that U.S. personnel pulled out of Iraq are not being sent home to the U.S., but are being held in reserve in Germany, Japan, Kuwait and South Korea for future planned wars.

What Economic Recovery? New Cyprus bailout equals 40% tax on bank accounts! Russia calling European Union a bunch of thieves, yet happy about it? More reason to get your money out of the banks!

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

“The stealing of what has already been stolen continues…”-Dmitry Medvedev, Russian Prime Minister

Medvedev is referring to the latest bailout offer for Cyprus from the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, in a round-a-bout way saying the whole thing was a done deal from the beginning.

The previous offer, which was rejected by parliament, included up to 10% tax on bank accounts. This new one imposes up to 40% tax on accounts with $100000 or more, and does not require parliamentary approval!!!

Most of the big money depositors in Cyprus are foreigners, and they’re going to pullout all their money.  Guess where many of those depositors are going to put their money now?  In Russian banks!

That’s the real reason Russia didn’t really try to give Cyprus a bailout, and why Russia isn’t really that upset about Cypriot bank accounts being robbed by the ECB and IMF (despite what Western media analysts say).

The result of the foreign depositors pulling out their money, and the harsh austerity caused by the bailout (such as the 2nd largest bank of Cyprus will be shut down under the deal), will be the economic destruction of Cyprus (and the take over of the island county’s stake in the huge Leviathan petroleum field).
