World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 26-27 August 2013: China makes new demands for Afghan copper! More U.S. airstrikes!

ISAF reported “An International Security Assistance Force service member died following an improvised explosive device attack in Southern Afghanistan today.”  

Ghazni Province, Mujahideen report that after 13 days of battles they’ve taken control of Zana Khan District. In Gilan District, Mujahideen report that U.S. led forces tried to retake the district.  One civilian and one Mujahid killed.  Mujahideen say they killed eight of the invaders.

Maidan Wardak Province, yet again U.S./NATO forces bombed a police checkpoint.  According to the governor one cop was killed and five wounded.  No comment from U.S.officials.  Mujahideen say they witnessed the U.S. airstrike on the cops.  They say seven cops were killed and five wounded.

Kapisa Province, Tagab District, Mujahideen attacked an Afghan National Army base.  A suicide car bomber blew himself while trying to crash the gates.  A six hours gun battle followed.  One ANA soldier killed, two wounded and two local cops were wounded.  Four Mujahideen killed.  That’s according to Afghan government sources.  Mujahideen claim that at least 50 people were killed.

Kunar Province, Watapur District, reports that U.S./NATO air forces bombed a village during the night.  At least seven people killed.

Kandahar Province, Ghorak District, reports that U.S. led forces conducted Israeli style home invasions in Weshtan village over a two days period.  People were beaten, valuables taken and at least five people kidnapped.

Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad City, U.S. led forces conducted an Israeli style home invasion, kidnapping three people.

Kabul Province, Kabul City, a suicide bomber tried to enter the compound of the Ministry of Interior Affairs.  He was shot and killed, yet his bomb exploded anyway.  Local police did not report any casualties.

At least 19 cops joined the Mujahideen in Faryab, Kandahar, Zabul and Uruzgan provinces.

Afghanistan’s Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation reporting 12 people killed in connection with infrastructure projects.  President Hamid Karzai said it was a foreign plot to keep Afghanistan “impoverished and underdeveloped”.  However, Mujahideen admit they killed six of the people.

The China Metallurgical Group and Jiangxi Copper are demanding a revision of their copper mining contracts with the government of Afghanistan.  The current agreement requires the Chinese to build a new power plant, copper smelter and railway.  The Chinese companies now say they can not afford to build the power plant, smelter and railroad. The copper deal is estimated to be worth $3 billion USD.

World War 3, Economic Front: G20 admits economic recovery failure! Wants new global tax! NSA spying just part of new global government personal data mining!

06 September 2013 (13:12 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/15 Shahrivar 1391/02 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

“Global growth prospects for 2013 have been marked down repeatedly over the last year, global rebalancing is incomplete, regional growth disparities remain wide, and unemployment, particularly among youth, remains unacceptably high. Despite our actions, the recovery is too weak, and risks remain tilted to the downside. In the last months financial market volatility has increased.”

“We welcome the establishment of the G20/OECD BEPS project and we encourage all interested countries to participate. Profits should be taxed where economic activities deriving the profits are performed and where value is created. In order to minimize BEPS, we call on member countries to examine how our own domestic laws contribute to BEPS and to ensure that international and our own tax rules do not allow or encourage multinational enterprises to reduce overall taxes paid by artificially shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions. We acknowledge that effective taxation of mobile income is one of the key challenges. We look forward to regular reporting on the development of proposals and recommendations to tackle the 15 issues identified in the Action Plan and commit to take the necessary individual and collective action with the paradigm of sovereignty taken into consideration.”

“We commend the progress recently achieved in the area of tax transparency and we fully endorse the OECD proposal for a truly global model for multilateral and bilateral automatic exchange of information. Calling on all other jurisdictions to join us by the earliest possible date, we are committed to automatic exchange of information as the new global standard, which must ensure confidentiality and the proper use of information exchanged, and we fully support the OECD work with G20 countries aimed at presenting such a new single global standard for automatic exchange of information by February 2014 and to finalizing technical modalities of effective automatic exchange by mid-2014. In parallel, we expect to begin to exchange information automatically on tax matters among G20 members by the end of 2015. We call on all countries to join the Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters without further delay. We look forward to the practical and full implementation of the new standard on a global scale.“

“We recognize the importance of all countries benefitting from greater tax information exchange. We are committed to make automatic exchange of information attainable by all countries, including LICs, and will seek to provide capacity building support to them. We call on the Development Working Group in conjunction with the Finance Track, to work with the OECD, the Global Forum and other IOs to develop a roadmap showing how developing countries can overcome obstacles to participation in the emerging new standard in automatic exchange of information, and to assist them in meeting the standard in accordance with the action envisaged in the St Petersburg Development Outlook.”

“We welcome the progress achieved in developing policy recommendations for the oversight and regulation of the shadow banking system.”  Shadow banking can include those individuals who do not use banks and live off barter or cash only.  “We will ensure that this information is available in a timely fashion to law enforcement, tax collection agencies and other relevant authorities in accordance with the confidentiality legal requirements, for example through central registries or other appropriate mechanisms.”

“We support the ongoing efforts in the UN for the elaboration of the post-2015 development agenda.”

World War 3, West Asian Front: Russian officials offer to meet with U.S. officials, U.S. officials say Nyet! Putin flat out calls Kerry a liar!

06 September 2013 (02:26 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/15 Shahrivar 1391/02 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

“The speaker has declined the Russian embassy’s request that he meet with a delegation.”-spokesperson for Congressman John Boehner

Russian Parliament members offered to meet with U.S. Congress members, as soon as this Sunday, to avoid a major war over Syria.  U.S. officials refused!

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Obama regime stooge John Kerry flat out lied about al Qaeda in Syria: “They lie, plainly. I watched the Congressional debate. A congressman asked Mr. Kerry ‘Is there any al Qaeda? There are reports they have been growing stronger.’ [Kerry] replied, ‘No. I say with all responsibility: there is no [al Qaeda] there.’ Well, [Kerry] is lying. And he knows that he’s lying.”

There are several U.S. backed insurgent groups in Syria that have stated many times they are with al Qaeda.  They’ve also stated that they get paid and armed by the U.S. government (your tax dollars at work).  These guys have even posted video on the internet making those claims.  Read the latest New York Times article on just who the real bad guys are in Syria.

World War 3, West Asian Front: U.S. does not have global support against Syria! India, Brazil, South Africa & even the Pope join Russia & China against the U.S.!

06 September 2013 (21:45 UTC-07 Tango 05 September 2013)/01 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/15 Shahrivar 1391/02 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

“It is regrettable that, from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria, one sided interests [U.S./EU/Israel/Saudi Arabia] have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution that would have avoided the senseless massacre now unfolding. To the leaders present, to each and every one, I make a heartfelt appeal for them to help find ways to overcome the conflicting positions and to lay aside the futile pursuit of a military solution.”-letter from Pope Francis to Russian President Vladimir Putin, on the opening day of the G20 meeting

At today’s G20 meeting in Russia, the members of the BRICS made it clear to the Obama regime they will not back the U.S. in an attack on Syria.  Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa can put their money where their mouths are, because they have money and the U.S. doesn’t!

For the past week Indian officials have been stating that a U.S. led war on Syria would be a disaster.  Chinese leaders say it would destroy the global economy (maybe that’s what the leaders of the cash strapped U.S. want?).

South African leaders hypocritically say nobody should get involved with regime change, even though South Africa has been led, by the U.S. Africa Command, into wars in neighboring African countries.

Brazilian officials said they would support a U.S. led attack on Syria, but only if it was sanctioned by the United Nations: “Force should be used only in self defense, as stipulated in the United Nations Charter, or under special authorization from a UN Security Council resolution….”-Luiz Alberto Figueiredo, Foreign Minister of Brazil

That’s not going to happen.  UN  Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stated “There is no military solution.”  And reports say evil U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, has given up trying to convince the UN Security Council to vote for war.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 22-23 August 2013: Mujahideen swear they are not behind attacks on civilians! India says it will stay forever! $10.8 billion in iron ore going to Iran & China!

Ghazni Province, Haft Asiab, a U.S. Army Specialist from California, and a U.S. Army Private from Missouri, were killed by explosion “during combat”.   They were assigned to the 40th Mobility Augmentation Company (MAC), 2nd Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade.

Kunar Province, Marawara District, a U.S./NATO drone killed five people.

Daikondi Province, Maramor District, Mujahideen say they captured a NATO supply truck full of food and electronics/computers.

Kandahar Province, Maiwand District, local government officials say an Israeli style home invasion resulted in one person being kidnapped.

Nangarhar Province, Mohmand Darah District, reports of an Israeli style home invasion that kidnapped at least one person.

Logar Province, Mujahideen say they were tipped off about a government Israeli style home invasion.  They set an ambush.  A one hour battle ensued, six home invaders were killed, four Mujahideen were killed.  Dozens of people wounded.

Zabul Province, Shahjoi District, Ja’faro village, reports that evil cops dragged a student out of school and set their police dogs on him, killing him.

Farah Province, someone tried to assassinate the local National Directorate of Security (NDS, aka Afghan Homeland Security Department) boss.  A motorcycle bomb exploded near the NDS convoy, one person killed, 15 people wounded.  The NDS boss was one of those wounded.

Helmand Province, the Afghan National Army (ANA) and local cops claim they killed 15 Mujahideen in seek & destroy operations in Nad-e-Ali, Nawa and Marjah districts.

Kabul Province, a police chief from Nimroz Province was arrested for drug smuggling.  Kabul cops said they were tipped off, and they arrested the cop boss while he was waiting for a flight out of Kabul airport.

In a meeting with President Hamid Karzai, leaders of Mujahideen/Taliban swore they were not conducting attacks targeted against civilians.  The implication is that someone else is behind attacks on civilians (like what’s been happening in Iraq, where latest reports accuse U.S. ally Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).

According to Afghan TV news reports, India has agreed to provide recon helicopters and training for Afghan crews.  Indian vice-president Hamid Ansari said India is not planning on leaving Afghanistan, ever: “India does not have an exit strategy. With the conviction that we shared a common past and that we are destined to share a common future, India will continue to contribute, within its capabilities, in the re-building of Afghanistan.”

More stupidity on the part of the U.S.  Afghanistan announced a $10.8 billion USD iron ore deal.  A consortium of companies led by India’s SAIL (Steel Authority of India Limited) will mine iron ore at Hajigak in Bamyan Province.  The ore is destine to be sold to Iran and China.   (so why has trillions of U.S. tax dollars been spent in Afghanistan?)

Also in Bamyan, the kidnapped workers for Aga Khan Development Network have been freed by a military operation.  It was first reported the workers were U.S., but they are Canadian and Pakistani.

World War 3, African Front: Imperialist Japan expanding military intelligence gathering in Africa, preps for oil war with China!

30 August 2013 (16:05 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Shawwal 1434/08 Shahrivar 1391/24 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

“This engagement is very productive and meaningful for us. Sharing knowledge with our American counterparts helps us better prepare to assist our allies in maritime security.”-Nobuhiko Morita, JSDF

Japan Self Defense Forces’ Deployment Air Force has been training with the U.S. Navy Patrol Squadron 47 in Djibouti: “These events enhance our interoperability and work toward achieving mutual goals of maritime security, while building and strengthening our enduring relationships.”-Lieutenant Comander Mark Zematis, USN

On the continent of Africa, Japan is also sending out military spies to seven counties: Algeria, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa.  Japan already has Self Defense Force spies in Egypt and Sudan.

Officially this is for helping the U.S. in its BS War on Terror, but all these countries have oil, gold or other strategic natural resources, and China is active in those countries.

Japanese officials used the January killings of Japanese in Algeria as the excuse.  Those Japanese were working at a gas refinery.

According to a news report out of Uganda, the neo-imperialist leaders of Japan consider the resources, and potential market place of Africa, as the only way to pull Japan out of its decades long economic stagnation: “Growth begins and lies in Africa. Time to invest in this continent is now. Africa will be the growth center over the next couple of decades.”-Shinzo Abe, neo-imperialist Prime Minister of Japan

World War 3, East Asian Front: Imperialist Japan to increase military spending by tens of billions of USD, in preps for oil war with China!

30 August 2013 (15:38 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Shawwal 1434/08 Shahrivar 1391/24 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

Japan’s Defense Ministry is asking for an extra $49 billion USD!  The money will be used to create a new amphibious island hopping assault unit, as well as buy expensive Osprey VTOL transport aircraft from the United States.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV aka Drones) will also be purchased, and Japan will increase its anti-ballistic missile defense system.

Officially the Japanese defense ministry says the military increase is to defend against Korea.  Just two days ago it was revealed that the U.S. is allowing Japan to come up with unilateral invasion plans for North Korea!  Invading Korea could be a tactical move in the larger strategic goal of controlling South China Sea oil resources, which means preventing China from controlling those same resources.

World War 3, East Asian Front: Philippines to allow bigger U.S. military presence, in preps for oil war against China!

30 August 2013 (15:26 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Shawwal 1434/08 Shahrivar 1391/24 Geng-Shen (7th month) 4711

The United States and the Philippines are crafting a new military agreement.  Reports say it will allow an increase in U.S. military presence in Philippines, but U.S. officials claim it will not involve building more bases.

The main driver for the increased U.S. presence is the oil rich South China Sea, where China has a territorial dispute with the Philippines, as well as with other countries in the area.

Reports also revealed that this new military deal between U.S. and Philippines has been ongoing for the past two years.  It is part of the Obama regime’s military strategy that focuses on the Asia-Pacific region.

That plan includes recent deployment of spy ships to Singapore, and the basing of U.S. military personnel in Australia.

Amu Darya Basin, reports that China National Petroleum Corporation workers stopped oil production and abandoned the oil fields.  An interview with the Afghan Ministry of Mines said the halt is temporary and involves funding, as well as negotiations with Uzbekistan regarding the refining of the oil.

Despite U.S. claims to make Afghanistan a better place, 1.5 million grade school aged children are estimated to be forced to work in brick factories, coal mines and dozens of other places.  At least 60% of Afghans are in poverty, despite the billions of taxpayer dollars from other countries, and the booming U.S. supported drug trade.

Hypocritically, the Afghan government celebrated what it calls the 94th year of independence from the United Kingdom empire, despite the fact that the Red Coats currently occupy Afghanistan.  Even dip schtick U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry congratulated Afghanistan for its independence.

Seven U.S. Marines, two sailors, one soldier, and one airman were were punished for gay and straight sex adds on Craigslist.  Punishment could include loss of rank, extra duty, fines and restriction of privileges.  Six civilian employees were also punished.  The U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) forbids even heterosexual sex in combat zones!

The Washington Post revealed that the U.S. military is re-deploying personnel to combat zones who’ve been clinically diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.

The Australian Department of Defence is crying about Afghanistan’s exit tax!  Afghanistan is charging the Diggers $3545 per container, that leaves Afghanistan by road.  Australia says it might be cheaper to fly the military equipment out.

The Afghan government has agreed to hold peace talks with Mujahideen in Turkey or Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reports that an Afghan trucking contractor working for the U.S. military has stolen $77 million USD!  It took three years of investigating to find where the money went.

According to German news media reports, the Afghan Ministry of Defense says U.S. taxpayers are paying for 24 brand new C-130 transport aircraft for the Afghan National Air Force, on top of the 20 Super Tucano COIN birds!
