World War 3: Record turnout in Syrian voting, 90% say Yes to new Constitution, Still Europe ignores it and backs failing Syrian National Council

On February 26, Syrians turned out to vote on a new Constitution.  Some areas reported record numbers of voters.

According to Syria’s Interior Minister, Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar, 89.4% voted in favor a new Constitution!

Despite the warmongering of the United States and Europe, the new Syrian Constitution ends 50 years of rule by the Ba’ath party.  Article 23 supports women’s rights. Article 42 allows peaceful demonstrations.   New presidents will be allowed to be elected to 2 seven year terms in office.

Meanwhile, 27 European countries announced that they will recognize only the Syrian National Council as the true government of Syria.  The Syrian National Council is not supported by voters, and in fact is already breaking up.  On February 26, 20 members left and formed the Syrian Patriotic Group.

The West’s ignoring of the record setting Syrian voting on a new Constitution, and the West’s increased support for illegitimate organizations, is proof  that the West is not concerned about human rights, but only about oil and natural gas!

World War 3: Day 7 Afghan riots, France & Germany leaving, Airport/U.S. base bombed, Afghan officials cancel trip to United States

France announced they will pull all non-military personnel out of Afghanistan!

Germany will pull out all expert advisers working in Kabul!  This follows similar moves by the U.S. and United Kingdom.

Also, the airport at Jalalabad has been hit by a huge explosion.  Afghan police say many casualties.  “Taliban” say it was vengeance for Qur’an burnings, they say some U.S. led forces were killed.  It’s been confirmed that at least nine Afghans were killed.

NATO forces blocked off area around the airport. The airport also serves as a base for U.S. led forces.

The Defense Minister, and Interior Minister of Afghanistan have canceled their planned trip to visit with U.S. military officials at the Pentagon.  U.S. Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta, says he “understands”.

World War 3: Day 6 Afghan riots, Karzai welcomes anti-U.S. protests, demands U.S. officials be put on trial, more children killed by U.S. led forces

“We strongly condemn the burning of the Holy Qur’an by the Americans and welcome the protests!”-Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan

Despite the U.S. media reporting Karzai calling for calm, on February 26, 2012, the President of Afghanistan said he supports the current anti-U.S. demonstrations.  He, and other Afghan officials, are demanding the prosecution of those responsible for burning dozens of Qur’ans at Bagram Airfield.

Arrogant U.S. Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta, told Afghan officials it was their responsibility to protect U.S. troops.  How many times have Afghan officials asked the U.S. to protect their civilians!

Also on the sixth day of riots, in Kunduz Province Afghans threw a grenade that wounded seven U.S. troops.

In Kapisa Province, French forces bombed and killed at least three civilians, two of which were children. This is the second time this month that French forces targeted children!

In Samangan Province, as many as 4,000 Afghans attacked local police stations, and a U.S. base.

Global Economic War: World Bank threatens China, more proof of conspiracy to privatize world governments!

The Wall Street Journal says a report titled China 2030, to be released on February 27, indicates that China’s booming economy will soon go bust if it doesn’t implement radical reforms.

The report comes from the World Bank, and a think tank supposedly connected to the Chinese government.

The China 2030 report will be released in China on Monday.  It calls for the officially communist Chinese government to sell off the last of its state owned businesses, possibly including its four major banks.

Allegedly the China 2030 report says China’s economy will begin to go bust by 2015, if it does not fully privatize its industries.

College student? Need Job? Japan needs You!

On February 25, 2012, a record number of Japanese companies held a conference to hire foreign college students.

145 companies held a conference in Tokyo, which attracted more than 3,000 students from China, South Korea and other Asian countries.

A rep for an auto parts maker said his company wants half of its new workers to be international students, especially since it is planning to increase operations outside of Japan.

Many hopeful college students were told that they should learn honorific Japanese expressions which are essential for conducting business in Japan.

Dengue Fever: Brazil worst hit, Pakistan launches campaign, Dengue survives cold temps, Bolivia on Red Alert, UN says efforts to fight disease failing, energy saving light bulbs spreading disease

“I consider Rio de Janeiro runs the risk of one of the worst epidemics, in number of cases of dengue in its history.”-Alexandre Padilha, Health Minister of Brazil

Brazil’s tourist city of Rio de Janeiro is being hit hard by type 4 Dengue fever.  So far there are more than 3,000 confirmed cases!  However, the rest of Brazil is actually seeing a huge 62% drop in cases (keep in mind that last year Brazil had 106,373 cases).

Across the world, Pakistani health officials (Rawalpindi Development Authority, Water and Sanitation Agency, the Parks and Horticulture Authority and the Health Department) have gone to war to prevent an outbreak of hemorrhagic Dengue fever.

Pesticides are being sprayed, and residents are being told how to fight the dengue carrying mosquitoes. A health official in Punjab said they now know that the dengue virus can be spread in cold winter temps.

Back over to South America, in Bolivia, the city of Santa Cruz confirmed 157 cases of dengue.  There are another 820 suspected cases. They have declared a red alert.

Also on February 25, the UN’s World Heath Organization reported that after 50 years of fighting the disease, cases of dengue in Thailand and Sri Lanka have only increased!

“The floods actually interrupted the Aeges aegypti’s life cycle and has resulted in a reduction in dengue.”-Sanphet Mahamard, Communicable Disease Control Department of Thailand

However, Thai officials say the massive flooding, at the end of 2011, has actually destroyed the breeding grounds of many of the dengue carrying mosquitoes.  So thanks to Mother Earth, they are already seeing a 36% drop in dengue cases (keep in mind that as of January 2012 Thailand has seen more than 1,000 cases and one death).

In Sri Lanka, officials are so determined to reduce dengue cases that they’re even going after business owners who don’t control mosquitoes on their property!

The Chief Technical Engineer of the railway yard of Sri Lanka Railways was fined, and is in prison, after 20 employees got sick, and one employee died, from dengue fever. Investigators discovered that railway officials did not conduct anti-mosquito programs on their property.

There is no vaccine (although Mexico is testing one of their own vaccines), and it turns out the mosquito eggs can survive a full year, even in cold temperatures.  Also, research showed that the mosquitoes are attracted to the light of energy saving florescent light bulbs.

Global Economic War: Germany straight up tells Greece to get out of the European Union

“Outside the European monetary union, Greece’s chances of regenerating itself and becoming competitive are definitely bigger than if it remained inside the eurozone.”-Hans-Peter Friedrich, Interior Minister of Germany

Germany’s Interior Minister told Der Spiegel that while the EU should not kick out Greece, it should give Greece incentives to leave “that they cannot turn down.”

However, German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, says she is opposed to Greece leaving the eurozone.  This shows going divisions among Germany’s government, regarding Greece’s financial problems.

Global Economic War: CELAC & BRICS tells IMF no more money until you reform, no help for Europe until IMF reforms

“The emerging markets will only help once two conditions are met…they reinforce the firewall, which means doing more than what they’re doing with the European fund of stability… and on top of that….they carry out the reform of the International Monetary Fund.”-Guido Mantega, Finance Minister of Brazil

CELAC (Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños, or Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are telling the U.S. based IMF that if it wants any more money to help Europe, it needs to clean up its act!

One of the reforms CELAC & BRICS are demanding is that they have more say in how the IMF is managed.

Millions of Japanese hit with H3N2, most had been vaccinated, vaccine failed! Virus mutates too fast

By the beginning of February, 2012, more than 2 million people living in Japan were infected with H3N2v.  A new study shows most had been vaccinated.

Local health centers from Yokohama City, Mie Pref, Saga Pref and Sakai City, say 80% of the people in those cities, suffering from flu symptoms, tested positive for H3N2v.  In Kobe City it’s 100%!

A major problem with flu shots, is that they are based on the previous flu season.  Flu viruses are now mutating so fast that it’s possible vaccines are useless.

World War 3: Iranian general calls for Muslims to burn down the White House

“Nothing but burning the White House can relieve the wound of us, the Muslims, caused by the burning of Qur’an…”-Mohammad Reza Naqdi, Brigadier General of Basij (volunteer) force

February 25, 2012, the top officer of Iran’s Basij (volunteer/reserve) forces called on Muslims to get vengeance for the burning of Qur’ans by burning down the U.S. White House.

He also said that Muslims can no longer accept words as satisfactory apologies, because the U.S. repeatedly commits acts of desecrations: “Their apology can be accepted only by hanging their commanders, hanging their commanders means an apology.”
