Nigerian Alpha-Jet.

Niger has a problem with its refurbished Alpha Jets; “Troops of Operation Desert Sanity on clearance patrol in Sambisa Forest, Borno State, have uncovered the wreckage of crashed Alpha Jet aircraft (NAF475) that went off the radar with two crew members on 31 March 2021.”–Nigerian Army statement

2016 Nigerian news report about upgraded Alpha-Jet delivery:

Egypt operated (operates?) Alpha-Jets known as versions MS1 and MS2.

Some of Morocco’s Alpha-Jets have been upgraded for atmospheric/cloud seeding work.

In 2007, a single privately owned (H211) Alpha-Jet began atmospheric testing operations under the code name AJAX.  It’s based at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, and was recently featured on the Discovery Channel:

AJAX stands for Alpha Jet Atmospheric eXperiment.

False Flag: Italian cops stop Mormon designed shotguns bound for terrorists! Origin of shotguns from NATO Turkey & Winchester!

26 November 2015, 17:51 UTC-07 Tango 01 (06 Azar 1394/14 Safar 1437/16 Ding-Hai 10th month 4713)

“Today’s SXPs are designed and production is overseen by our R&D team in Morgan, Utah. They are then manufactured in our partner factory in Istanbul, Turkey.“–Winchester website

Proof the U.S. led NATO has been subverted!  NATO member Italy has intercepted nearly 8-hundred illegal shotguns.  They say the destination for those shotguns was NATO members Belgium, Germany and Netherlands.  But they also claim the origin of those illegal shotguns is NATO member Turkey, from the U.S. owned Winchester factory!

Captured Winchester SXP shotgun from NATO member Turkey

Italian customs police, known as Guards (Police) of Finance (Guardia di Finanza), said the 781 Winchester SXP shotguns were packaged professionally from Winchester factory in Turkey, and had a final address of a known company in Belgium.  However, the truck driver had no legal documentation for the guns and therefore they became contraband.

This capture of illegal U.S. (Utah) designed guns made in NATO member Turkey answers my question posted the day after the terrorist attacks in France: How did so many people get so many guns in anti-gun country?

Mormon managers accused of employing Whipping Boys?

United Police States of America: 4,667% increase in theft by cops! More than thefts by ‘criminals’! 

False Flag: France to implement mass house arrests of citizens/residents!

Gun Security? How can we be secure if even the Israeli Defense Forces can’t stop the theft of their weapons?! 

Hypocrisy 101: Obama uses Pro-Gun argument to justify War on Terror!

False Flag: Somebody in the U.S. stole guns from the U.S. Army! Again? 

Paranoid NSA paying Mormons big bucks to guard data centers! 

Mormon bank caught violating U.S. sanctions against Iran! Money laundering or drug running by Bank of Utah, maybe CIA ops? 

Will new 9-11 attack come from the new money magnet of …the…Mormon Jewish connection?

World War 3, West Asian Front: Kidnap survivors, and former insurgent supporters, reveal U.S. is behind genocidal al-Qaeda in Syria!

“It’s crazy to say, I know that Assad did not use gas…….We are sure about this because we overheard a conversation between rebels. It pains me to say it because I’ve been a fierce supporter of the Free Syrian Army in its rightful fight for democracy since 2012.”-Pierre Piccinin, University Professor held captive by U.S. supported insurgents, quotes from Italian and Belgian news sources

Back in April, a journalist for Italy’s La Stampa newspaper, and a history/political science professor from Belgium, and both pro-Free Syrian Army, were kidnapped meeting with several ‘rebel’ groups.  They experienced torture, mock executions and even overheard the U.S./Israeli/Saudi backed insurgents talking about launching the false flag gas attack.  They were released on 08 September 2013 (although nobody seems to know the details of why they were released, other than the Italian government was behind it).  By the way the U.S. main streamer news media has been downplaying what these guys are saying.

“……they [insurgents] said that the gas attack on two neighborhoods of Damascus was launched by the rebels as a provocation to lead the West to intervene militarily…...I am extremely surprised that the United States could think about intervening, knowing very well how the Syrian revolution has become international jihadism, in other words Al-Qaeda.”-Domenico Quirico, journalist held captive by U.S. supported insurgents, quoted by Italian newspapers

Piccinin, who has a web site that’s pro-Syrian revolution (although it hasn’t been updated since his kidnapping back in April) says they supported the Arab Spring revolutions, but suddenly the so-called Arab Spring in Syria turned into hell on Earth: “Together we have made ​​eight trips to Syria, during which we saw the revolution change. At first it was a democratic movement…….the revolutionary movements have gradually been replaced by Islamic fundamentalist cells, in which also comprises marginal groups, gangs of criminals. Everything went downhill, ideals have fallen. They did not want to make a revolution, but raid the population….”

This is what the Obama regime, and the U.S. Congress supports!

Nuclear Disaster Reactors: Damage to Belgian reactor impossible to repair?

16 August 2012, after an emergency meeting was held, officials decided it was likely that the Doel nuclear plant in Belgium will be shut down permanently.

But this means dozens of other nuclear reactors throughout western Europe could be shut down as well.  The whole thing started in 2004 when France inspected two reactors and found perpendicular micro-cracks in the containment vessels.

The perpendicular cracks were not from age, but had been there from day one. It was a design flaw!

Belgium decided to check their reactors, since they were the same design, and found even more micro-cracks. The boss of Belgium’s Federal Agency of Nuclear Control told the emergency meeting that they found “something else”; thousands of parallel cracks as well as the perpendicular cracks.

The defects are so numerous that Belgium officials say it is unlikely they can be repaired.  Belgium will shut down two reactors, and continue investigations. A final report will be presented in October.

Nuclear Disaster Reactors: Belgium shuts down nuke plant; cracked containment vessel, emergency international meeting!

14 August 2012, the Federal Agency for Nuclear Control is shutting down Reactor 3 at the Doel nuclear power plant in Belgium.

Workers discovered cracks, and other ‘anomalies’, in the containment vessel.  The reactor was built by a company that went bankrupt 40 years ago. Dozens of nuclear plants across western Europe use the same design.

Belgian officials have called for an emergency meeting, with international experts, to be held on 16 August.  Belgium gets 50% of its electricity from nuclear power.

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.

What Economic Recovery? Italy becomes second European country to officially hit Double Dip Recession, blame increased budget cuts and unemployment

“The budget cuts are weighing it down…The conditions for a recovery in consumption are not there since unemployment hit a new record.”-Chiara Corsa, UniCredit bank

February 16, 2012, for the second month in a row, Italy’s economy shrank.  Two months in a row of contraction, that’s the official sign of recession.

Belgium was the first European country to officially go into a double dip recession. Interestingly this happened after they finally agreed to a new government, following more than a year without one.

Occupy Belgium! Firefighters attack riot police! So much for the new government in Belgium!

Belgium went more than a year without a government, 2010-2011, and there was little civil strife.  Now that Belgium has a government almost everyone is striking, including firefighters.

Firefighters went on strike because the new government wants to destroy their retirement program.  Riot police were called out, but the firefighters had planned ahead.  On February 10, they had their pumper trucks ready to go and hit the police with high pressure water, and even fire extinguishers.

Watch the fun video on RT.  The firefighters broke through police barricades and soaked the Belgian Prime Minister’s office!  Belgium is the first European country to officially go into a double dip recession.

After more than a year, and after a credit downgrade, Belgium will finally create a government

Since March 2010 Belgium has been without an official government.  The problem arose when Dutch speaking Belgians (Flemish) took control in elections, then suggested splitting the country into two halves; one side for French speakers (francophones), the other side for Dutch speakers.

The 2010 elections came about after the Belgian King dissolved the previous government, due to scandal.

Now, and possibly due to the fact that their credit rating just got dropped, six major political groups have agreed on a new government.  They hope to form the government by next week.  Up until the 2010 elections, Belgium was considered a stable European country.

Belgium isn’t the only country that’s gone a long time without a government. Cambodia has the record of 353 days without a government, from 2003 to 2004.

Global Economic War: Global Sovereign Open Fund dumping European bonds

Not even a week after it was revealed that the biggest insurance companies in Japan were dumping their European bonds, a major Japanese investment firm reveals it is doing the same.

Kokusai Asset Management says it has sold off all Italian, Spanish and Belgian bonds that were part of its Global Sovereign Open Fund!

The Global Sovereign Open Fund is the largest in Japan, with about U.S.$26 billion in assets.  Kokusai Asset Management says the European bonds they sold off had already lost 8% of their value from the previous year.
