America Spread Thin: West Asia, March 2018

West Asia, or as the U.S. Department of Defense calls it Southwest Asia.  Iran, Iraq and Turkey are sometimes considered part of West Asia and sometimes Central Asia.  I consider Iraq and Turkey part of West Asia and Iran is part of Central Asia.

On 13MAR2018, the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, British empire’s New Zealand Army, and the British empire’s Australian Army joined together with Iraqi ‘security forces’ (puppet paramilitaries) Forward Air Control trainees to promote the concept of combined air/ground ops: “Our goal is to help demonstrate the capacities of attack rotary wing assets and show the effectiveness of operating jointly with air and ground maneuver elements.”-Major Warren Green, assistant future operations officer (yep, that was part of his title given in the news release)

In Syria, a U.S. Master Sergeant was killed by a land mine (‘roadside bomb’) along with a British empire Red Coat.  U.S. ops in Syria began under the Obama regime.  Up until now the United Kingdom’s monarchy controlled Ministry of Defence refused to confirm that Red Coats were operating in Syria. The incident apparently happened the same day that U.S. president Donald Trump stated, at a rally in Ohio, “We’re knockin’ the hell outta ISIS, we’ll be coming outta there very soon. Let the other people take care of it now.”

NATO Turkey joins Russia? Where’s western outrage over Turkey going nuclear?

05APR2018 (00:30 UTC-07 Tango 06)  16 Farvardin 1397/19 Rajab 1439/20 Bing-Chen 4716

Not only has Turkey given up on its attempt to join the European Union (EU) but it’s looking more and more like Turkey is about to get the hell outta NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

On 04APR2018 Iran, Russia and Turkey held a tripartite summit to discuss what will happen to Syria, now that DAIISH is defeated.  U.S. president Donald Trump didn’t attend the conference and simply stated that the United States would be leaving Syria “very soon” (which seemed to be news to the Department of State and Department of Defense).

U.S. news media made sure the taxpayers of United States knew about the Syria Conference that didn’t involve the U.S., but failed to mention things like Turkey buying Russian made weapon systems and even getting help from Russia to go nuclear.

Turkey’s own news media reported that not only is Turkey buying the Russian S-400 anti-aircraft missile system, but that Russia will attempt to deliver it sooner than originally agreed to. This happened the day before the tripartite summit concerning Syria, and it should be noted that NATO administrators complained that Turkey never told them about the deal with Russia saying “We have relayed our concerns to Turkish officials regarding the potential purchase of the S-400.” 

Ground breaking for the Akkuyu power plant, 03APR2018

They also made a deal concerning the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project, with Russian president Vladimir Putin saying its was a new level of cooperation between Turkey and Russia.

You could partly blame the new partnership on the increasing ‘western’ sanctions against Russia, because that new level of cooperation is being motivated by money: “Russia has become the third export market for Turkey after Germany and China. Turkey has become our seventh basic commercial partner.”-Russian president Vladimir Putin

“Our trade volume has surpassed $22 billion dollars with a 32% increase, according to our calculations compared to the previous year. Our goal is to reach $100 billion.”-Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Also in the works are two natural gas pipelines from Russia to Turkey, called TurkStream.  One of the lines is meant to circumvent NATO controlled Ukraine to provide Europe with much needed gas.

Gun Ban Fail: More drive by shootings hit anti-gun London! ‘Sheeple’ beg for police state stop & search ops!

“All you have done is blame everyone and everything else. You are the mayor and you control the budget. 12 people dead in 19 days in London!”-unnamed Social Media post

Just days after the British empire’s anti-gun United Kingdom city of London beat out New York City for murders, more random drive-by-shootings and stabbings.

In the Tottingham area of London, a 17 years old girl was shot and killed as she sat with friends Monday night.  Witnesses say the shot came from a car driving by.

In the Walthamstow area of London, a 16 years old boy was shot and later died in the hospital, while a second boy was stabbed and wounded.

Police have not arrested anybody in connection with the latest shootings/stabbings.

On Sunday night a 20 years old man was stabbed to death in the Wadsworth area of London, becoming the city’s 31st knifing victim this year.  Besides strict anti-gun laws the U.K. also regulates knife ownership. 

Last week the family of a man killed after being shot stated “gun culture is becoming rampant in our community”, despite strict anti-gun laws.

Interestingly, as I was looking at Metropolitan Police (Scotland Yard) violent crime data, gun and knife attacks are still well below 2007 levels, but London police (and their supporters) have not only blamed Social Media but are now blaming the Mayor of London for reduced funding for police, which has resulted in less police personnel to patrol the streets.

In fact, many critics of the Mayor used Social Media to blame him for the increase in violent crime and even begged for a return to police-state stop and search ops: “Time for you to stop young people dying and encourage effective and fair stop and search #onyourwatch.” (ain’t it pathetic?)

People shouldn’t blame the current Mayor of London as violent crime across England and Wales has been shooting up since 2015!  Notice that coincides with the increased inflow of immigrants and supposed war refugees.

In 2018, it was revealed that in 2013 the Idaho Army National Guard because the first to have all female UH-60 helicopter crews, operating inside Afghanistan as part of Task Force Shadow.

“When we first arrived in Afghanistan, the task force was already established and halfway through its rotation. We were like a puzzle piece replacing the Utah Army National Guard. When the 101st arrived to assume the mission from the 82nd, we had been in country for four months and went from being the newbies to the subject matter experts for the new task force.”-Major Nicole Washington recalling her 2012-13 Afghan adventure, when she was known as Captain Nicole Smith

(the photographer was a man, sorry you feministas)

This happened in January 2013, but for some reason the story wasn’t released to the public until March 2018, perhaps because ‘traditionalists’ would consider it a true sign that America is Spread Thin.

Alpha Company-1-168th General Support Aviation Battalion-Idaho Army National Guard deployed to Afghanistan in 2012, it was commanded by Captain Nicole Smith (now Major Nicole Washington) and its was a first for The Gem State militia.

The company flew UH-60A/L Black Hawks.  On 14JAN2013, two Black Hawks with all female crews took off on a Task Force Shadow mission. It was a first for Task Force Shadow: “It was an honor to participate in that mission, not just because it was all females, but because of what it meant to be able to have the freedom to do so. To have that crew combination of all women flying a combat mission in a land where some of the local women aren’t allowed to drive or even sit in the front seat of a car, much less fly a helicopter… it was the unspoken message behind the mission that meant so much to all of us.”-Major Nicole Washington recalling her Afghan adventure, when she was known as Captain Nicole Smith

Gov’na Butch Otter named the Alpha Company-1-168th General Support Aviation Battalion the outstanding unit of the year upon their return to Idaho in 2013.

“Everyone had a great attitude. Everyone worked hard and long hours for the success of the company. There were no egos, just a desire to see the company succeed and for everyone to come home safe, and we did it together”-Major Nicole Washington

It wasn’t the first time Nicole Smith/Washington was in Afghanistan, she deployed in 2007 with Idaho’s 1-183d Aviation Battalion’s AH-64 Apache gunships.

Gun Ban Fail: Anti-gun London beats NYC in murders, get ready for Social Media ban?

02APR2018 (00:03 UTC-07 Tango 06)  13 Farvardin 1397/16 Rajab 1439/17 Bing-Chen 4716

In the British empire’s United Kingdom private ownership of automatic weapons banned, semi-auto assault type weapons banned, pistols banned!  Even toy (“imitation”) guns are banned!  Yet that hasn’t stopped London from beating out New York City for murders.

The murder weapon of choice is now the knife.  But wait, United Kingdom also strictly regulates the ownership of knives!  This time the Limey coppers are hinting at banning Social Media, blaming it for skyrocketing knife attacks.

In 2008, The Telegraph revealed that Home Office (a British government agency responsible for immigration, police and spying ops/MI-5) had been lying to the British public about violent crime rates.  The Telegraph used local police compiled violent crime data and it turns out the actual rate of violent crime is 60% higher than what the national government was reporting! So much for gun bans and knife control laws.

Fracking quakes shutdown biggest Gas operation in Europe?

31MAR2018 (02:36 UTC-07 Tango 06)  11 Farvardin 1397/14 Rajab 1439/15 (second month) Yi-Mao 4716

In Netherlands, the NAM (Royal Dutch Shell/Exxon) operated Groningen gas field (which contracts extraction work to U.S. based Halliburton) is the biggest in Europe.  90% of Dutch homes rely on it. 1-thousand-7-hundred Dutch businesses are addicted.  Germany, France and Belgium are big customers.  Earlier this month a deal was signed with Japan’s Mitsubishi-Hitachi to produce hydrogen with gas from Groningen.  But apparently none of that matters as the Dutch government announced plans to shutdown Groningen by 2030.

One of many Halliburton extraction wells at NAM Groningen

The official reason is that years of fracking/extraction has resulted in thousands of Dutch homes damaged by numerous earthquakes, and increased health problems of taxpaying citizens tied to fracking operations.

It should be noted that efforts were made to reduce quakes by reducing extraction, but it didn’t work, the quakes kept coming. In January, the Groningen region was hit by the biggest earthquake in the past five years.  It was a measly 3.4, but that’s the typical Richter of quakes caused by fracking.  It was also the sixth quake in that region that month. 

According to Wikipedia: “Since 1986, there have been around 1,000 induced earthquakes in the northeast of the Netherlands caused by the exploitation of the Groningen gas field near Slochteren.”

The government of Netherlands is making big money off Groningen, but will shift to big taxpayer spending as after 2030 much needed fuel will be made from imported gas, refined in a new taxpayer funded $616.6-million USD nitrogen plant.  But here’s some conspiracy theories;  Is Groningen literally running out of gas?  Or is that the Dutch government is bracing for a plethora of lawsuits from families and business that have suffered damage from the fracking quakes? Or is that the shutdown of Groningen is meant to drive up the low prices of gas, already “Dutch TTF natural gas prices have risen in anticipation of a government decision on how fast to further reduce domestic production…”?
