World War 3, East Asian Front: Don’t blame China, blame the ones who spend the most money on War Mongering! Blame those who control FDI into the U.S.A.!

08 January 2014 (03:50 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/18 Dey 1392/08 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

There’s a coming war between Trilateral Commission members within the Pacific Asian Group, and with the North American Group and European Group, but if you go by military spending you can’t blame it on China.  Blame it on the United States (and the British empire)!

China announced that they spent only $106-billion USD on their military in 2013.  Independent sources say it was $166-billion.

U.S. puppet Japan spent $59.3-billion, but the neo-imperialist government of Japan has ordered an increase in military spending. Japan’s new ‘pro-active pacificst’ military spending plan will see an increase of at least $230-billion USD over the next five years. War monger leaders point to disputes over islands and control of resource rich areas (such as the South China Sea) as reasons for increasing military spending.

Another U.S. puppet, the Republic of Korea (aka South Korea) spent about $37-billion USD in 2013.  South Korea is a small country and they spent at least $5-billion more than the much larger country of Australia, which has been taking part in the illegal occupation of Afghanistan.

Bilderberg British empire country of Australia (Pacific Asian Group) supposedly spent $26.2-billion.

Bilderberg British empire country Canada (North American Group) spent $22.5-billion.

Bilderberg British empire country (and Trilateral Commission member within the European Group, aka European Union) United Kingdom spent $60.8-billion.

Bilderberg Germany (European Union) spent $45.8-billion.

Bilderberg France (European Union) spent $58.9-billion.

Bilderberg Italy (European Union) spent $34-billion.

The Bilderberg United States (North American Group) spent at least $682-billion (at least that’s what was actually made public)!  The top spender on war mongering in the World!

The U.S. Department of Defense’s FY2013 Defense Budget report stated, back in February 2012, that the fiscal year 2013 spending plan had a “Base Budget” of $525.4-billion.  “Base Budget” is code for the bare minimum that was going to be spent. By the way, the DoD’s FY2013 report states that the report itself cost taxpayers $34-thousand to compile and publish!

Also realize that it is not China who is the biggest foreign direct investor (FDI) in the United States.  According to the Organization for International Investment’s (OII) 2012 data it is the British empire’s United Kingdom (wake up Patriots!).

China doesn’t even come in second place.  That position goes to neo-imperialist Japan (Pacific Asian Group leader)!

The British empire country of Canada takes 4th place for FDI into the U.S. (again, wake up Patriots!).   3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th places got to other members of the European Union (remember, the EU is the European branch of the Trilateral Commission)!  Notice China is not anywhere in the top nine list of countries who control the United States through FDI!

The OII says 83% of FDI into the U.S. is controlled by those top nine countries!  Those top nine countries are not only members of the Trilateral Commission, but are directly or indirectly connected to the British empire, or Bilderberg society (wake up Patriots!).  The remaining 27% of FDI into the U.S. comes from 150 other countries!

Stop blaming China!

Now realize that the military spending of North American Group and European Union, along with the U.S. puppets of Japan and South Korea (in the Pacific Asian Group) is $900-billion more than what China spends, then you should realize that China is outnumbered and outspent when it comes to military power.

And it should be blindingly obvious that the other members of the Trilateral Commission (actually led by the British empire) is ganging up on China, in order to seize control of what could be the Earth’s last great petroleum resources located in the South China Sea (remember the Vietnam War?).

Stop blaming China!

By the way, even the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, aka North Korea, is a member of the Pacific Asian Group.   And if you find it hard to believe members of the same international ‘club’ would go to war with each other, killing off millions of their citizens, then you need to go back to school and study the political socio/economic climate of the ‘western’ world, and its spider web of crony capitalist business/banking intrigues, prior to the First and Second World Wars!

World War 3, South East Asian Front: U.S., South Korea & China behind bloody crack down on protesting slave wage workers in Cambodia! All in the name of Old Navy & Walmart!

08 January 2014 (00:58 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/18 Dey 1392/08 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

Most people in the United States are unaware that for weeks slave wage workers in Cambodia have been demonstrating for better pay, some reports say the average garment factory worker makes $40 USD per month.

Recently Cambodian government minions cracked down violently on the demonstrators, using Chinese made weapons and killing at least five people, wounding dozens.

A GlobalPost report shows pics of Cambodian soldiers wearing uniforms with South Korean flags on them!

Now, amazingly, the South Korean government admitted publicly that the crackdown was actually ordered by them!  Specifically it was ordered by Republic of Korea/United States clothing corporations, such as Yakjin, who says it supplies cheap clothing to Gap, Old Navy, American Eagle and Walmart.

“As a practical measure, military forces and police have been cooperating closely with us to protect Korean companies since we visited the capital defense command headquarters with Korean businessmen to tell them about the situation, and as a result, to prevent any arson attempt or looting, military forces are directly guarding only Korean companies among many factories in the Canadia complex.”-Embassy of the Republic of Korea in the Kingdom of Cambodia

United States, China and South Korea are members of the Trilateral Commission (China and South Korea belong to the Pacific Asian Group branch, U.S. belongs to the North American Group).  “Membership in The Trilateral Commission is by invitation only.”-Trilateral Commission statement

(I tried accessing the South Korean embassy in Cambodia website but all I got was a blank page,  the GlobalPost report has a screenshot of the embassy statement in Cambodian)

World War 3, East Asian Front: Obama regime deploying more troops to South Korea! More proof of coming war with China?

08 January 2014 (00:20 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/18 Dey 1392/08 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“This addition is part of the re-balance to the Pacific. It’s been long planned….”-Colonel Steve Warren, U.S. Army

The U.S. Department of the Army announced they are increasing troop strength in the Republic of Korea by 800 personnel, and about 40 M1A2 tanks, and 40 M2 Bradley IFVs (by the way, the Bradley is no longer made by an ‘American’ company, it’s made by the Bilderberg British empire company known as BAE).

The armored battalion (from the 1st CAV Division)  is deploying from Fort Hood, Texas.

DoD officials say they will begin rotating new troops in and out of South Korea about every nine months, as part of the Obama regime’s U.S. national defense strategy ordered in 2012.   That strategy shifts focus from the War on Terror being waged on innocent oil rich countries, to China and North Korea who have claims on the even more oil rich South China Sea.

Obama lackie, Secretary of State John Kerry, used the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s nuclear program as the excuse for the deployment: “The United States and the Republic of Korea stand very firmly united, without an inch of daylight between us, not a sliver of daylight, on the subject of opposition to North Korea’s destabilizing nuclear and ballistic missile programs and proliferation activities.”

Fluoride Wars: Studies show your pets are being poisoned by fluoridated water & Grapes!

07 January 2014 (14:19 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/17 Dey 1392/07 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“A recently published Harvard study concluded that there was a seven-fold risk in osteosarcoma, or bone cancer, among young boys after exposure to fluoridated water………..Dogs have a significantly higher rate of osteosarcoma than humans. Researchers at Colorado State University recently conducted a large study on osteosarcoma and dogs. In their abstract they state that the osteosarcoma rate in dogs is 8 in 100,000, approximately 8 times greater than that in humans.”–Linda Joy, WA Action for Safe Water

“Fluoride is a Class 2 environmental toxin, second only to arsenic in its danger as a biochemically reactive poison. Fluoride’s primary use is as a rat and cockroach poison and it is a known carcinogen. Historically, fluoride was also used in Nazi Germany ghettos and prison camps to sterilize the human inmates…..98% of Europe is now free of fluoridated water…..Racetracks in Southern CA such as Santa Anita, Del Mar and Hollywood Park have reported significant rises in bone breakage in horses….Since the San Diego Wild Animal Park began using fluoridated water, the elephant show has been permanently cancelled with one animal reportedly having mental derangement. Their zebras were also isolated in a separate pen for sudden and unusually aggressive behavior. The Australian state of Victoria announced the recent euthanization of hundreds of Kangaroos due to acute fluoride poisoning……Municipalities throughout North America are practicing medicine without a license by injecting this toxic substance into the public water supply without the consent of the people drinking the water.“-Joanne Suresh, DogsNaturally magazine

“.….rare occurrences of ‘grape poisoning’ have resulted from pets consuming an unusually large number of grapes or raisins……Grapes are one of the plants that concentrate fluoride, which can originate from the soil or the air. And today’s environment is much richer in fluoride than that of the past due to fluoride-based chemicals (fertilizers and pesticides), factory emissions (e.g. coal burning and metal production), and the use of fluoridated water for irrigation and rinsing of newly purchased produce…….The deaths in these rare cases of grape or raisin intoxication can be easily explained as fluoride intoxication……fluoride is also a cumulative toxin and over time can cause serious problems such as thyroid dysfunction and bone cancer when long-term exposure is excessive…..there is nothing innately wrong with the grapes or raisins themselves………[but] they concentrate fluoride…”–John B. Symes, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

“….a study of 10 brands of manufactured dog foods analyzed for fluoride content. Eight had levels that could put dogs at risk from developing bone cancer, thyroid disease and other health problems……contain ground bone that is the source of fluoride that farmed animals accumulate……Cats may also be at risk from chronic fluoride poisoning when similar cheap ingredients are included in their manufactured dry and canned foods……Cooking with fluoridated water simply concentrates fluoride in the food….”–Michael W. Fox, DSc, PhD, BVet Med

7th Heaven Animal Trust, in the Bilderberg British empire territory of occupied northern Ireland, has a list of studies, going back to the early 1990s, concerning the effects of fluoride on animals.

Do your own research, there is a plethora of studies concerning the effects of fluoride on farm animals and pets, and they’re not good.  And if your live in the United States or Canada, you’re drinking and eating it!

Fluoride is poison!

“Demand for new rail cars is growing in other U.S. cities.  We’ll aim to satisfy the need for replacements in those places as well.”-Iwasaki Hiroji, Kawasaki Executive Officer

U.S. taxpayers have just updated the metro rail system in Washington DC, with train cars made in Japan!

Kawasaki Heavy Industries delivered several new cars to the Greenbelt station in Maryland, in a ceremony in which U.S. officials did not directly mention the Japanese connection.

The cars’ major components were made in Japan, then shipped to Kawasaki’s final assembly factory in Lincoln, Nebraska.  There was a time when U.S. industries could have handled the task, but not anymore no-thanks to unAmerican Corporate America outsourcing jobs overseas!

Kawasaki officials claim some of the Japanese cars were 100% built in their Nebraska factory.

The Washington Metro Area Transit Authority has ordered 528 Japanese rail cars, at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of $1.1-billion USD!

In Sangin District, government officials are investigating reports that Afghan National Police have willingly turned over at least three check points to Mujahideen!

Herat Province: In Obe District, an ANA soldier shot and killed two other ANA troops.  ANA officials say the shootout lasted several hours and the instigator was also killed.

The Afghan parliament rejected President Hamid Karzai’s request to create seats for religious minorities such as Hindus and Sikhs.

India and Afghanistan have agreed to a new security deal.  Afghan officials presented Indian officials with a wish list for military equipment, and India has agreed to open up positions for Afghans at Indian military academies.

Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman, Janan Mosazai, said Iran is not supporting anti-government forces.  He said Iran is a good ally of Afghanistan.  Mosazai was responding to accusations against Iran by the governor of Farah Province.

In a separate issue, Mosazai said there is no evidence that Afghans are taking part in the U.S. funded civil war in Syria.

The United Nations International Labour Organization reports that since 2002, 5% of Afghans who escaped the U.S. occupation only to be forced to return, have escaped U.S. occupied Afghanistan again.  Afghans who escaped the hell of U.S. occupation say lack of good paying jobs is their number one reason for leaving.  They also blame the lack of good jobs on the U.S. occupation.

Air National Guard’s 105th Base Defense Squadron, from the U.S. state of New York, returned home from Afghanistan. One of the militia-airmen was killed in Afghanistan.

Nevada: The Las Vegas Zoo shut down after all staff quit in protest and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced an investigation into what is being fed to the animals.  Local news reports say the USDA had to provide food because the trapped animals had not been fed since the employees quit!

Oklahoma: In Tulsa, Hillcrest Healthcare System laid off 50 people because of Obama Care (the so called Affordable Care Act).  Oklahoma is one of dozens of states that opted out of expanding Medicaid under Obama Care, which means hospitals will not be reimbursed for many treaments.  In Muskogee, Mitt Romney wunderkind Staples shut down. It’s part of company plans to shut down Staples across the country.

Pennsylvania: Metal container maker Crown Holdings laid off 300 people, mostly in Europe!  Company officials blame crashing economies in Europe and North America.

South Carolina: Tax sucker General Electric (GE) laying off about 100 employees at their Greenville ops. GE officials say they are trying to make their Power & Water Business more competitive.

Tennessee: In West Knoxville, optics maker Luxottica North America shutting down, 310 jobs lost!

Texas: Tax sucker Bell Helicopter laid off 28 people at its Amarillo factory.  They blame government spending cuts.

Washington: 16 prison guards lost their jobs at the Pierce County Jail.  It’s blamed on county budget cuts.  The jail was making money by housing prisoners from several cities, but those cities have had to cut back on outsourcing their prisoners because of a lack of tax revenues. Pierce County Jail lost at least $5-million USD in 2013!

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.
