World War 3, more proof God is evil: Israel kills kids on playground, warns of massive artillery strikes across north and east Gaza Strip! Israel preps for “long war”!

28 July 2014 (12:17 UTC-07 Tango)/30 Ramadan 1435/06 Mordad 1393/02 Xin-Wei (7th month) 4712

At least nine children killed or wounded by an Israeli strike that targeted a playground.

Israel has dropped leaflets on all the refugee camps in north Gaza Strip, as well as towns in east Gaza Strip.  They warn of massive artillery strikes to come, and already live video from Gaza City shows artillery strikes lighting up the night sky.

The UNRWA says there are eight refugee camps in Gaza Strip.

Israel is telling palestinians to flee to Gaza City, but live news media reporting that Gaza City is already packed with Palestinians fleeing Israeli attacks.

The latest Israeli attacks come as there is supposed to be another ceasefire in place.  Benyamin Nut-job-yahoo has told Israeli news media that Israel is preparing for a “long war”.

World War 3 Afghanistan, 21 – 24 July 2014: More U.S. taxpayer fraud at the hands of the U.S. military! Utah militiamen spreading Mormonism in Afghanistan?

Faryab Province: In Qaisar District, battles raging between Mujahideen and government forces.   The provincial governor says hundreds of Mujahideen are trying to take control of the district, and have captured at least two police FOBs (Forward Operating Base).  At least 25 people killed, 17 wounded.

Ghazni Province: A U.S. Army soldier caught a disease and was shipped back to the Fort Sam Houston hospital in Texas U.S.A., where he died.

Helmand Province: A kamikaze car bomber rammed a Afghan National Police (ANP) convoy, killing himself and two cops.   15 people wounded.   In Sangin District, at least 15 people killed by U.S./NATO airstrike.  In Garamser District, four people killed by U.S. drone strike.

Herat Province: A U.S. led NATO/ISAF transport plane made a “precautionary” landing, and overran the runway.  No casualties reported, and no explanation for the “precautionary” landing.  Flights at the airport were canceled.   Two healthcare NGO employees from Finland were killed when the taxi they were in was attacked by men on motorcycles.

Kabul Province: The national Traffic Department is reporting huge monetary losses, due to people being afraid of the number 39!  People are refusing to register their vehicles because they were being issued license plates with the number 39 on it!  There was no explanation why 39 is such a feared number.  In Kabul City, a kamikaze motorcycle bomber attacked Camp Gibson.  U.S. officials would only say that five foreign contracted security guards (mercenaries) were killed.   A rocket landed in the compound of an Afghan military school, but no casualties reported.  Once again, the Interior Ministry reports that across Afghanistan hundreds of people killed or wounded in the past four days of battles with Mujahideen.

Kandahar Province:  In Mirugol Kalay, two U.S. Army personnel blown up and killed by Mujahideen.  One of the soldiers was on his 3rd tour of duty.  20 militia men and women of Utah’s Army National Guard celebrated the Mormon Pioneer Days.   Pioneer Days is presented in some parts of the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S. as celebrating pioneers in general, but it’s really about the Mormon Exodus from Missouri into what would become the Utah territory.  The guardsmen kept their celebration to BBQ, and left the signature hand pulled carts in Utah.  The U.S. Army shutdown their FOB Walton.  Some of the taxpayer funded equipment went to Afghanistan: “We had all of this excess equipment, so we had to really coordinate with our Afghan partners and decide what we were going to do with all of it. We used groups like the Defense Logistics Agency and others like it to decide what we were going to sell to the Afghans, what to throw away, and what the unit needed to bring back home.”-Captain Bernard Tumanjong

Kunduz Province: A kamikaze bomber attacked the home of the police chief for Chahar Dara District.  The bomber was killed along with one cop.  The police boss and two other cops were wounded.

Laghman Province: In Alingar District, a cop and five other people were killed when a vehicle was ambushed.

Logar Province: In Pul-e-Alam City, six people killed by explosion.  Local police claim they were Mujahideen blown up while making bombs.

Nangarhar Province: In Khogyani District, a kamikaze bomber killed two cops and wounded one.

Paktika Province: In Sorubi District, five people killed by landmine explosion. Local police say the victims were Mujahideen making bombs in their home.

Takhar Province: In Khawajah Ghar District, a motorcycle bomb exploded in a market killing nine people and wounding 27.

Al Jazeera news reports they’ve confirmed that U.S. funded local provincial police (aka Afghan Local Police, ALP) and pro-government militias (aka Arbaki) are systematically killing anybody who refuses to help them fight Mujahideen, including children.   I’ve been reporting that for years now.

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) discovered that tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars meant to be used to build trash incinerators on U.S. bases in Afghanistan were totally wasted.  The incinerators were supposed to safely burn toxic waste, but a SIGAR inspection discovered they don’t!  Not only were U.S. taxes wasted, but military personnel have been subjected to years of toxic smoke!   The investigation also revealed that U.S. military units were disobeying Pentagon orders banning open bit trash burning!   U.S. military units also violated a 2010 U.S. law requiring the notification whenever toxic waste was burned: “When you burn this caustic, dangerous stuff, it can release neurotoxins, carcinogens. There are long term health effects. This is a ticking time bomb here that could last for years.”-Anthony Szema, Stony Brook University School of Medicine

150 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 124th Engineer Company (South Carolina U.S.A.) returned from Afghanistan.

World War 3: UN “commands” United States to implement peace in the Middle East!

28 July 2014 (21:15 UTC-07 Tango 27 July 2014)/30 Ramadan 1435/06 Mordad 1393/02 Xin-Wei (7th month) 4712

Watching the conclusion of the emergency UN Security Council meeting, live on Iranian news, the Rwandan envoy (Rwanda holds the current UNSC presidency) “commands U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry” to implement peace between Israel and Palestine.

The Israeli envoy looked pissed!

Arab representatives said the UNSC statement is not a true resolution, because it says nothing about addressing the genocide of Palestinians forced to live in Gaza Strip by the Israelis.  It was pointed out that Israel even kills Palestinians who go out into the Mediterranean to fish for food, the ‘resolution’ does not address such acts of genocide.  The Arab representatives said the UNSC continues to drag its feet, and they will not wait any longer!

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings 30 April 2014: “…we must act now!” ObamaCare wreaks havoc on healthcare system! City officials continue to kill jobs!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

California: In Los Angeles, Contessa Foods failed to file a proper WARN.  According to state employment officials the food packager notified the state of a massive layoff the day after it killed 239 jobs!  The company shutdown.  In Mountain View, Symantec continues to kill high-tech jobs, this time 12 people will become unemployed in June.  In Stockton, Sodexo warned it will permanently kill 116 jobs in June!  In San Clemente, Boston Scientific warned it will shutdown in June, killing 116 jobs!  In Oakland, Sutter East Bay Hospitals warned they will layoff at least four employees in July.  In Napa, Queen of the Valley Medical Center warned its 1365 employees of massive layoffs, blaming Obama Care.  President and CEO Walt Mickens stated “We must transform the way we provide health care and we must act now!”, while spokeswoman Vanessa deGier explained “There are already billions of reductions in Medicare reimbursements that are programmed as part of the Affordable Care Act. Every single hospital across the county is facing these same cuts!”  In Bakersfield, Kern County officials warned of massive layoffs at Kern Medical Center.   Hospital officials blame Obama Care for causing $30-million USD in losses by preventing people from going to the hospital for treatment: “If there’s not patients to care for, we don’t need to have people on the payroll. These are people who need their job to feed their families, to support their families….”-Russell Judd, CEO

Connecticut: In Torrington, after 30 years The Party Store shutdown. The building was sold off to a church!

Florida: In Boca Raton, after only nine months 101 Cantina bar shutdown.  It’s blamed on constant confrontations between college students and police.

Georgia: In Augusta, Massachusetts based inVentiv Medical Management shutting down in September, at least 50 jobs lost.

Illinois:  Too Big to Jail US Bank shutting down more branch offices.  This time 13 across The Prairie State, blamed on US Bank’s takeover of Charter One Bank.

Indiana: In Greenfield, Irwin Tools shutting down this summer, 80 jobs lost.  The company is forced to consolidate operations to Georgia due to the bad economy.

Kansas: In Leawood, after 25 years Hy-Vee grocery store shutting down in June.  Company officials said the store needed $4-million+ in remodeling but the city council actually passed ruling that forces them to shutdown: “In light of the city of Leawood’s recently passed moratorium on new development along the 135th corridor, it is clear that the current business environment in Leawood is one in which Hy-Vee cannot be successful.  Two attempts to find a solution acceptable to both parties –one that allows us to continue serving our customers with the products, services and amenities that they deserve and expect — have been resisted by city officials.  The first was in May 2013, when we attempted to remodel the store at its current location, and now, our most recent application to build a new store at the corner of 135th Street and Roe Avenue.   Because lack of city support prevents us from providing customers with the best shopping experience we have to offer, we will be closing….”

Kentucky: More business shutdowns for Georgetown, this time crime is being blamed.  Hunting and fishing supply store MK Outdoors shutdown after several burglaries cost the owner more in damages than in stolen merchandise: “They stole about 5-hundred dollars worth of stuff and done somewhere around 35-hundred and 4-thousand dollars in damage to get it!”-Mickey Kelly

Michigan: Pontiac Education Association laid off 63 teachers.  It’s being blamed on the disappearance of 300 students for the upcoming school year!  (and don’t forget the increased benefit costs caused by Obama Care)  Pontiac schools are in so much financial trouble they are now being overseen by Oakland Intermediate School District.

New York:  In Port Jefferson, The Community Program Centers of Long Island shutting down their Head Start program in June.  41 jobs lost.  In Ronkonkoma, The Community Program Centers of Long Island shutting down their Head Start program, 25 jobs lost.  In Westbury, custom metal fabricator John Hassall shutting down in September, 83 jobs lost.   In Binghamton, consultant SOURCECORP BPS shutting down by July, 122 jobs lost!

Washington: In Yakima, the state shutting down a business tax call center, 20 jobs lost.  The state is consolidating operations to just one call center.

Wisconsin: In Milwaukee, India based Infosys laying off 31 IT employees in June.

27 – 29 April 2014: “Unfortunately our last days are ahead…” 

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.

6700 block of South Artesian Avenue: 16 years old boy dead after a bullet came through his bedroom window.  It sounds like a trained sniper, because the bullet hit him in the neck and killed him.  Police don’t care because they consider the victim a gangbanger.

A teenager was arrested and charged with last week’s killing of an 11 years old girl.

The Chicago Tribune reports their data shows more than 12-hundred people have been shot since the beginning of 2014.

While researching info on Chicago shootings I came across a February 2013 Washington Post article, which reported that Chicago schools get extra money from the U.S. Department of Education to “recover” from the trauma of shootings!

The majority of victims are male. Very few arrests reported.

Once again, shooting victims were not armed, it’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.

Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers, but have made few arrests. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!

Government & Corporate Evil: Missing & crashed Malaysia Airlines aircraft actually saving the company’s financial ass?

26 July 2014 (14:55 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

Years before MH370 went missing, and MH17 was supposedly shot down, Malaysia Airlines was losing millions of U.S. dollars.  However, the loss of MH370 actually paid off for the troubled airlines, in the form of insurance payouts, mainly from Lloyd’s of London!

Malaysia Airlines is 69% owned by the Malaysian government (through the government investment agency Khazanah Nasional).  Airline officials told the individual stockholders that a plan to turn around the failing company was about to be revealed, that was a few months before MH17 went down in Ukraine.

Western news media have speculated that the air disasters would shutdown the airlines by further reducing revenues, but that’s not the case.  Malaysia Airlines carries insurance to cover such ‘accidents’.  Their insurance provider is a Malaysian company with direct ties to Lloyd’s of London.   Not only do the families of the passengers get payouts, but so does Malaysia Airlines (for the loss of aircraft and crew).

So far this year, Malaysia Airlines revenue losses were greatly reduced from the prior three years.  How?   After all, they have yet to change the way they run their money losing operation, for example, they employ the most people per flight of any other airlines.  Did the insurance payout for the disappeared MH370 go to reducing profit losses?

At the end of 2013 Malaysia Airlines lost $356-million USD, triple what it lost in 2012!  The airlines actually increased revenues, but skyrocketing operating costs outpaced their ticket sales.

Geoffrey Tudor, of Japan Aviation Management Research, says Malaysia Airlines has lost $1.3-billion over the past three years, and is losing an average of $1.5-million per day!  How can they stay in business?

After MH370 went missing an attorney for a U.S. law firm handling insurance payouts stated: “It’s not an issue of whether families will be compensated….We’ve done more than 43 plane crashes and there’s never been a situation like this one, ever.”-Monica R. Kelly

The insurance industry began making payouts immediately after the MH370 fiasco, which is strange because it took two years for a court judge to approve payouts relating to the 2009 Air France crash in the Atlantic Ocean.

Malaysia Airlines itself immediately offered families $5-thousand each, to tide them over until the insurance payouts came through.  And don’t forget that the airlines paid for hotel expenses for families of the passengers.  This from a company that lost $356-million in 2013?

This time the insurance companies are holding off on making payouts on the MH17 crash in Ukraine, mainly because insurance policies have a “wartime” loophole.  However, that usually requires an official government declaration of war.

Is it possible somebody, or some corporation would deliberately cause an accident to cash in on an insurance policy, due to being in financial trouble? Just ask your local Fire Department arson investigator, or even arson investigators who work for the insurance industry.  Or how about police investigators who discover that family members killed off their ‘loved one’ for the insurance money?  Why was MH17 flying directly over an undeclared war zone (looking like a military transport) where several military planes had already been shot down?

World War 3: Germany officially orders spying on the United States and British Empire! Old school typewriters make a big comeback, thanks to U.S. electronic spying!

26 July 2014 (00:32 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

In retaliation for U.S. and U.K. spying on Germany, Angela Merkel has officially ordered spying operations against United States and British Empire, for the first time since the end of the Second World War (1945)!

German Chancellor Merkel has also ordered all U.S. spymasters out of Germany, if any are caught still in Germany they will go to prison!

Merkel grew up in East Germany during the Cold War, and knows first hand what it’s like to be spied on by your own trusted government.  It’d be an understatement to say she’s really pissed at the Obama and Cameron regimes!

The people of Germany are fighting back by dumping electronic forms of communications.  Germans are returning to old fashioned letter writing, and even using old school typewriters.

Typewriter maker Bandermann reports 2013 sales were up by one third, and started advertising that typewriters are “NSA Proof”.

Olympia reports they are selling more typewriters than they have in the past 20 years!  Sales are expected to double this year.  Even the Russian embassy is buying up Olympia typewriters!

German military contractor Diehl is dumping their computers for typewriters!

Germany is not the only country to switch back to older communication technologies, Russia is doing the same thing.

Martial Law U.S.A.: U.S. Army creating new wireless spy system to be tested in Texas and New Mexico!

26 July 2014 (00:11 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Ramadan 1435/04 Mordad 1393/30 Xin-Wei 4712

It’s called Distributed Common Ground System-A (DCGS-A).  It’s supposed to integrate various electronic sources, biometric (human traits) data, spy satellites and other sources to spy on the enemy (you).  So far taxpayers have forked over $5-billion USD developing it!

Now some in the Army say it’s a failure, and “not survivable” on the battle field.  The Army even cancelled the planned 2014 testing of the system in Texas and New Mexcio, due to repeated “glitches”.

However, Army officers are pushing Congress to keep funding the project, because of the exponential increase in electronic intelligence that can be gathered: “A company commander today with DCGS-A has 20 times the capability I had as a division commander in 2003!”-General Raymond Odierno

A Company consists of about 100 to 200 personnel, depending on its mission.  A Division consists of 10-thousand to 18-thousand personnel!   Odinero claims that DCGS-A gives the Company commander the electronic spying power 20 times greater than what a Division commander had in 2003!

But for those U.S. citizens concerned about their privacy rights, rest easy for now, because the Associated Press got their hands on a 15 July 2014 Army memo which says the testing op in Texas and New Mexico was canceled due to continued “crashes” of the system.

U.S. Army officials claim they’ll have DCGS-A up and ready for testing in 2015,  of course after spending even more taxpayer money.

World War 3 Afghanistan, 17 – 20 July 2014: U.S. airstrikes increasing! Pakistan behind attack on airport? More proof the U.S. ain’t leaving!

Balkh Province: In Mazar-e-Sharif City, a bomb in a cart was left next to a police vehicle, and exploded.  Several people killed or wounded, dozens of vehicles damaged.

Herat Province: In Obe District, a U.S. led NATO drone airstrike killed 12 people.

Kabul Province: Six Mujahideen attacked the military side of the airport.  The attack lasted several hours, with all Mujahideen killed.  However, the Interior Ministry says attackers are actually from Pakistan, and blamed the government of Pakistan for the attack.   The Ministry of Transportation and Aviation reporting that all airlines operating out of the airport are planning to stop all flights.  Once again, the Interior Ministry reports hundreds of people killed or wounded in the past four days of country-wide battles.  The Independent Election Commission (IEC) has reluctantly started recounting all the votes in the so called “successful” elections (as declared by Obama and the UN).   The vote recount is being overseen by the United Nations and European Union, and also involves NATO/ISAF transporting fraudulent ballot boxes.  Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India have signed a deal to build a massive gas pipeline, known as TAPI.  The TAPI line could carry 33 billion cubic metres of gas, every year.

Kunar Province: In Chapa Dara District, an artillery round landed on a house, killing two children and wounding seven other family members.  Of course the government blames Mujahideen.  However, Kunar officials also claim Pakistan is shelling their province, most recently a ten years girl was wounded after ten artillery rounds from Pakistan impacted where she lives.  In Ghazibad District, local police report that a U.S. drone airstrike killed four people and wounded two.  It might be connected to U.S. airstrikes ongoing across the border in Pakistan.

Laghman Province: In Mehtarlam City, two people killed, 14 wounded by a motorcycle bomb.  Witnesses say it looked like a man was trying to use the motorcycle to transport a box, when it exploded.

Logar Province: U.S. led NATO aircraft bombed Pul-e-Alam City!  At least 16 people dead.  City cops said they called in the airstrike on the people simply because they “looked” suspicious!

Nimroz Province: In Chahar Boraj District, three people killed, three wounded after they drove over a landmine.

China has created a special envoy to Afghanistan, to handle ‘security’ issues.  Chinese officials are fearful of a full U.S./NATO pullout from Afghanistan, because they’ve invested a lot of money and manpower in developing petroleum operations in Afghanistan..

USMC General Joseph Dunford told the U.S. Senate that no U.S./NATO/Afghan military leader involved in the occupation of Afghanistan has ever called for full U.S. military pullout.

The U.S. state of Oregon is sending nearly 1-thousand National Guard militiamen and women to Afghanistan this year, but 25 militiamen were diverted to fight the wildfires spreading through the Beaver State.  What will happen once all the militiamen are in Afghanistan?
