Government & Media Hypocrisy: Pakistan launches purpose built Ballistic Nuclear Missile; where’s the outrage, where’s the sanctions, where’s the UNSC resolutions?

April 13, 2012, North Korea launched a satellite (not a ballistic missile as western media continued to report!), which ended in failure, yet didn’t fail to bring world wide condemnation.

April 25, 2012, Pakistan launches an improved Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), yet no one cares?   Pakistan has nuclear weapons, yet no one cares that they’ve successfully tested an improved missile designed to carry nukes?

This launch comes less than a week after India successfully launched their first ever ballistic missile.

Here’s what the western members of the UN Security Council had to say about North Korea’s 4th non-weaponized rocket launch: “…[it’s a] provocation, threat to international stability, and another violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.”

On April 17, 2012, the UNSC increased sanctions against North Korea for launching a non-weaponized rocket!

So far, here’s what the UNSC said about India’s first ICBM launch:

Yeah I thought so you hypocritical SOBs!!

World War 3: Again more NATO deaths. Battles in Helmand and Kandahar.

April 24, 2012, International Security Assistance Force now saying, almost as an afterthought, that a U.S. led soldier was killed by an explosion in Helmand Province on April 22.

No other details.

Afghan officials reporting major battles with Mujahideen in Helmand and Kandahar provinces.

In Kandahar one Afghan government soldier was killed, and three wounded after being attacked by Mujahideen.

In Helmand, Afghan government forces claim to have killed 20 Mujahideen, and wounded another ten. Some reports say the battle actually took place a week ago, which brings into question the reliability of government announcements.

The Afghan National Army also claims to have operations underway in Kabul, Nangarhar, Parwan, Kunduz and Logar provinces, so far killing eight Mujahideen and capturing 16.

Corporate Evil: Did Monsanto create mutant wild dogs in Vietnam? Vietnam’s Kanup 480 SL is called “Roundup” in the United States.

Farmers in Vietnam, who’ve only just started using herbicides in the past two years, are suffering from terrible symptoms, even dozens of deaths.  On top of that, and seemingly in coincidence, wild mutant dogs have been terrorizing villages, attacking and killing domestic animals.

Local Vietnamese media reports are now blaming an herbicide that farmers were tricked, I mean convinced, into using.  Most of the farmers had never used herbicides before.

In Vietnam the herbicide in question is called Kanup 480 SL.  It’s made by a company called Thang Bac Giang (Vithaco).   Turns out that Kanup 480 SL is the very same herbicide known as Roundup in the United States.

Roundup was patented in the 1970s by Monsanto.  The patent expired in 2000.

Here’s the thing: In 1996 Monsanto was sued by the state of New York for lying about the safety of its products.  In 2007 Monsanto was convicted by the European Union for lying about Roundup being safe and biodegradable.  It turns out that Roundup is not safe or biodegradable (under European standards). The main ingredient, isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, is “dangerous for the environment” and “toxic for aquatic organisms”.  Another ingredient of Roundup is polyethoxylated tallow amine, it is known to be highly toxic to animals (humans are animals too, you know).

Lab test showed animals that were contaminated with Roundup resulted in mutated offspring.  Some media reports say Monsanto knew of this as early as 1980.  It’s interesting that the wild mutant dogs in Vietnam showed up in the very same areas that Kanup 480 SL is being used.

There have been dozens of studies on Roundup, showing it causes mutations and death. How much Roundup does it take to kill a human?  It depends, but studies have found as little as 85 ml could kill you, while some people have survived accidental doses of as much as 500 ml. The latest study was in 2009.

Another interesting point: Monsanto is also behind genetically modified plants (which involve using deadly bacteria to make the modifications stick).  The modified food crops are meant to be resistant to Roundup.  However, some of these crops (the first being Soy) cross pollinated with weeds and created super weeds.  The super weeds can not be killed with Roundup, however many people don’t know that and will just spray more and more Roundup.

I still deal with weeds the old fashioned way; I pull them up with my hands, or run over them with my electric lawn mower, or chop them down with a weed whacker.

Why just yesterday, after writing my article on the Mystery disease, I saw employees of the city of Chubbuck, in Idaho, busy with their yearly spraying of Roundup in the park adjacent to my back yard.  They like to run that crap along the fence lines of everyone’s property that butts up to the park. It’s so strong you can smell it.

I used to work for a retail property management company. The boss was obsessed with using Roundup, even on a single weed that was growing in the middle of a parking lot that could hold a hundred cars!  In less time than it took to mix the Roundup, then prime the pump and go about spraying, I was able to simply pull the weeds out of the asphalt. But I actually got reprimanded for that!

People in the United States better wake up and stop smelling the Roundup before you can’t smell the Roses anymore!

Warning!  Roundup’s warning label is misleading.  It basically says Roundup is just an ‘irritant’. Yet, on some Roundup warning labels (on their larger containers) it tells you to immediately call your local poison control center for help!

World War 3: More U.S./NATO deaths. U.S. Congressman banned from Afghanistan. Yet more “leaders” captured.

April 24, 2012, International Security Assistance Force announced more U.S. led troop deaths.  As is ISAF SOP, no further details were given, other than that the official death toll for occupying forces is now at 123 for 2012.

Yet again, the Afghan government claims to have captured more “Taliban” and “Haqqani” leaders.   The captures took place in Logar, Nangarhar and Paktiya provinces.  They also claim to have stopped a suicide bomber in Herat Province.  They say he is connected to the Mullah Zahir Mujahideen group.

U.S. Republican Dana Rohrabacher, Representative from California, has been banned from entering Afghanistan.

Rohrabacher, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, has criticized Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai.

A group of U.S. Congressman are in Afghanistan meeting with Northern Alliance political parties.  Afghanistan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry says the U.S. politicians are interfering in Afghanistan’s internal affairs.

United Police States of America: Federal police beat & taser handcuffed immigrant to death. Ritual Human Sacrifice caught on video. Your tax dollars at work! Proof the U.S. is at War with Mexico! La guerra ha comenzado!

“I think I witnessed someone being murdered.”-eyewitness who was threatened by cops if she continued videoing their crime

Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) has aired video of a handcuffed immigrant being beaten and tasered to death.  The new, never before seen video was part of an April 20, 2012, Need to Know report.

The man was married with children.

In the video you can see more than a dozen sadistic pervert satanist (who probably claim to be christians) U.S. Customs & Border Patrol cops standing around the victim as he lay writhing on the ground.  One agent continuously tasers the man, then stomps him several times.

In an older video released last year you could not see anything, but you could hear the man begging for his life.  This new video, taken from overhead, shows what could be described as an intentional human sacrifice at the hands of law enforcement, you know, those people that we are supposed to trust.

The PBS report says in a two year period at least eight immigrants have been killed by U.S. cops.  No investigations into any of the deaths were ever made!

Mexican officials say at least 18 immigrants have been killed by U.S. cops!  Some of those killed were actually in Mexico, or trying to get back into Mexico!

I dare you to watch the PBS Need to Know report, called Crossing the Line at the Border. Click here.

In the video one cop actually steals the victims pants right off him as other cops are beating him! Another cop kneels on the victims neck.  They tased him at least five times, once for 14 minutes, and once directly applied!!!

La guerra ha comenzado!

World War 3: Turkey blocks Israel’s NATO desire

“There will be no Israeli presence at the NATO meeting unless they issue a formal apology and pay compensation for the Turkish citizens their commandos killed in international waters.”-Turkish statement

Turkey, a full member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), has blocked Israel’s attendance at the upcoming Chicago NATO meeting.

Israel is not a member of NATO, but has been allowed to take part in meetings at the insistence of the United States.  The Chicago meeting is scheduled for May 20-21.

World War 3: North Korea says targets in South Korea will be turned to ash. Soon?

“Once Revolutionary forces’ Special Action is taken, all the rat parties [South Korea] and provokers [U.S. forces in South Korea] will be burned to the ground in three or four minutes….with our own unique methods, which haven’t been witnessed.”-North Korean TV announcement, translated by Reuters

April 23, 2012, an announcement by North Korea said that “special action” will be taken against South Korea.

While most Western media are reporting that North Korea isn’t being specific about what they mean, some are speculating that they could be talking about an attack on the U.S. puppet South Korea ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Korean People’s Army on Wednesday.

I’ve read some of the North Korean propaganda articles on their Korean Central News Agency site, and while they have similar rhetoric, they do qualify their threats by adding “if provoked”.  This indicates that any “special attack” by North Korea would be in response to something South Korea, or the United States, does first.

However, some of the propaganda articles do also say they are going to make the U.S. puppet Lee Myung Bak, and his political party, pay for what they see as his sabotage of the unification talks between North and South Korea.

What Economic Recovery? Spain officially in double dip recession, Britain on the verge

April 23, 2012, Spain’s Central Bank has declared the country officially in recession.

Gross domestic product (GDP) shrank 0.4% in the first quarter of 2012, following a 0.3% decline in the last quarter of 2011.   Decline for two quarters in a row makes an official recession.

The Spanish government says it will cut spending by $11 billion USD, and will increase taxes!

The United Kingdom is on the verge of double dip recession. Britain’s Office for National Statistics is expected to say on Wednesday that the economy grew(?) by a meager 0.1%.  

By the way, in order to be considered true growth your GDP needs to be at 3% or higher.  So Britain’s GDP is only 0.1%?  Close enough to call it double dip!

To make matters worse, the two “strong” European economies, Germany and France, are actually contracting!

Belgium and Italy have already crossed into double dip recession.

World War 3: U.S. admits its personnel are drug addicts. More U.S. led NATO deaths. Fuel depot burning.

April 23, 2012, a fuel depot near Kabul is burning.  The only info available, currently, is that there are casualties and that it’s not clear how the fire started.

April 23, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) announced that two U.S./NATO/ISAF personnel were killed by an explosion the day before.

As is ISAF SOP, no details were given.  The number of confirmed (ie; officially admitted) dead for occupying forces is now 120 for the year. That’s 79 U.S. troops, 15 British troops and 26 soldiers from the other NATO member/ally countries.

More claims of “leaders” being captured.  Afghan government forces claim they’ve captured a “Taliban leader”, and a “Haqqani leader”.  The operations took place in Helmand and Khost provinces.

In Logar Province, Afghan officials claim they’ve captured several Mujahideen.  They say one of those captured belongs to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

Legal action by an activist group has forced the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command to admit that many U.S. personnel are drug addicts.

Documents released show at least 56 personnel were investigated in 2010 and 2011.  At least eight military personnel died from opiate use in Afghanistan during the same time.  That included prescription drugs, as well as illegal drugs.

The information was specifically about U.S. Army personnel in Afghanistan.  Earlier this year the Army admitted that between 2006 and 2011, 36,000 soldiers were involved in drug offenses.

But wait, there’s more!  The Army also saw a huge spike in drug use in 2011.  Drug use jumped by 1,800 from 2010 to 2011.

Corporate Evil: Mystery disease kills children, people can’t build immunity to it, military involved, entire district quarantined, mutant dogs killing pets. Kanup 480 SL. Quang Ngai Province is Cursed!

“The development of the disease at Ba Dien commune is really complicated and critical; the numbers of new cases and recurrence cases are increasing dramatically.”-Han Phong, People’s Committee in Ba To District

April 22, 2012, health officials in Vietnam are asking for help from the United Nations, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in trying to identify and treat a skin disease that’s already killed 27 people including 19 children.

More than 100 people are hospitalized.  At least 171 people are infected.  Many people are getting sick a second time (29 so far), which indicates that you can not build an immunity to it!

Last year the province recorded more than 150 people with similar symptoms.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Health says the virus spreads through direct contact with an infected person’s oral discharges or saliva, the fluid from burst blisters or the feces.

You end up with a high fever, loss of appetite and a rash that covers the hands and feet.  If treated right away people seem to get better, but those who wait too long end up with liver problems and eventually multi-organ failure.

Vietnam’s Military Chemical Institute is now investigating the Ba To District of Quang Ngai Province.  There are reports the district is now under quarantine: “We have to block the entrances here to stop patients from getting out and spreading the disease. Since we don’t know what caused the disease, we will have to rely on our rituals and prayers.”-Pham Van Tray, Reu village

Quang Ngai Province is that area where the infamous My Lai Massacre took place at the hands of U.S. Army soldiers.  The same province saw forced relocation of Vietnamese villagers, by the U.S. and its puppet government of South Vietnam, in the name of protecting them from the “commies”.

In May, 2011, another district in the same Province was harassed and terrorized by an unknown beast.  Roaring sounds and strange footprints were found at the base of the Dinh Mountain in Son Tra Commune.  At least 20 dogs were killed, most were found with their heads and internal organs missing.

In Lao Cai Province people claimed to have seen the beast that’s killing pet dogs, and other domesticated animals.  They said it is a mutant dog, tall with a fur coat varying in description from white spots to yellow stripes.

This year fires torn through two huge markets, in the provinces of Quang Ngai and Quang Binh, causing about $300,000 USD in damage.

Also this year, farmers on central Quang Ngai Province‘s Ly Son Island, known as the garlic kingdom, have suffered their biggest crop failure ever.  Farmers lost 80% of their garlic to unusually heavy rain!

(now you see why I say they’re cursed)

Back to the killer “virus”.  I say “virus” because there are reports that the reason the Military Chemical Institute is involved is because some officials think the “virus” is really an herbicide called Kanup 480 SL.

Another report said that most farmers in the area started using herbicides only two years ago, that’s when the symptoms began (and sightings of mutant feral dogs).

Many reports say the herbicide is made by the United States, however my research revealed that it is made by a Vietnamese company called Thang Bac Giang (Vithaco), not the other company that’s being named in most reports (there are several companies using the misreported name, one of which turns out to be a major textile manufacturer).

The primary ingredient in Kanup 480 SL is Glyphosate IPA Salt 480gr / l.   It was patented by U.S. corporation Monsanto in the 1970s.  It is widely used in the United States.  Lab tests on animals revealed mutations, which could explain the mutant dogs killing people’s pets in Vietnam.  U.S. lab studies were supposedly inconclusive as to what happens to humans who’re contaminated with it.

According to some poor translations of local Vietnamese news media, most people who are sick, or who died, had just finished spraying their fields with Kanup 480 SL.   From what I read, it seems like many did not mix the chemical properly and used it in concentrated form.

This might be another case of a corporation that tricked farmers who had never used chemicals in their life, into buying a new fangled contraption (Kanup 480 SL).  The local reports I read say the farmers in Quang Ngai Province only started using the herbicide in the past two years, and it really looks like they do not understand how to use it, or how harmful it could be.
