World War 3 Iraq: Iran sends Su-25 attack jets to help fight Obama regime ISIS!

02 July 2014 (12:52 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Ramadan 1435/11 Tir 1393/06 Xin-Wei 4712

While listening to news out of France, I heard a reporter state that the first batch of Suchoi (Sukhoi) 25 Grach (NATO name: Frogfoot) attack aircraft, that recently arrived in Iraq, actually came from Iran.

The French were citing an unnamed British empire source for the info.

I think these are probably Su-25s that were flown to Iran at the beginning of the first U.S. attack on Iraq (Desert Storm 1991).  Many Iraqi air force pilots flew there Soviet and French supplied aircraft to Iran.  Iran stored, and even rebuilt most of the planes.

Martial Law U.S.A.: Americans renouncing U.S. citizenship to skyrocket as new FACTA tax law begins! Back door isolationism!

01 July 2014 (14:37 UTC-07 Tango)/03 Ramadan 1435/10 Tir 1393/05 Xin-Wei  4712

Beginning now, a new Fair and Trade Accurate Transaction Act (FACTA) rule goes into effect:  Any foreign bank account belonging to a U.S. citizen living abroad, which has $50-thousand or more, must be reported to the U.S. Treasury or that foreign bank could be sanctioned from making transactions with U.S. banks.

FACTA is the number one reason for skyrocketing exodus of middle class U.S. citizens.  FACTA does not go after the wealthy elites who avoid taxes by moving their money offshore, it goes after middle and upper class U.S. citizens who are working outside the United States.  In effect they are being double/triple taxed, and they have no Congressional representation, which equates to taxation without representation.

Anybody who understands the creation of the United States would understand that “no taxation without representation” was one of the   rallying cries for revolution against the evil British empire.  Now the U.S. government is perpetrating the same crime against its own citizens!

Another ‘shoot yourself in the foot’ problem with FACTA: This is slowly isolating the U.S. economy from international trade, as many foreign banks are willing to risk ending business transactions with U.S. banks by considering non-compliance with FACTA.

World War 3 Iraq: False Flag ISIS troops being smuggled into Shia areas in container trucks!

30 June 2014 (14:17 UTC-07 Tango)/02 Ramadan 1435/09 Tir 1393/04 Geng Wu(6th month) 4712

A live news report on an Iranian satellite news channel stated that the Obama regime-United Kingdom-Kingdom of Saudi Arabia created ISIS has attacked more Shia religious sites.

The reporter explained that ISIS is smuggling in hundreds of fighters into Shia areas using civilian container-trucks.

ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) evolved from ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) which was kicked out of the U.S. created al-Qaeda for being “to radical”!

U.S. Civil War Chicago update 28 – 29 June 2014: 1 dead, 16 wounded!

Incomplete list.

3600 block of West Chicago Avenue: 42 years old man shot in the head while riding his bicycle, he died just outside his home.  Witnesses say the shooter, who was walking, shot the victim as they passed each other.

4300 block of North Drake Avenue: Three people wounded by a man who walked up to them and started shooting.

2500 block of West Huron Street: 33 years old man shot in the chest while out walking.  He’s in critical condition.

132nd Street and Langley Avenue: 34 years old man grazed in the neck by a bullet.

19th Street and Pulaski Road: 34 years old man shot multiple times while standing in a parking lot.  The shooter drove up and blasted away.

1800 block of South Throop Street: 19 years old man standing outside an apartment building was shot by somebody in an SUV or truck.

64th Street and Dr. Martin L. King Jr. Drive: 25 years old man shot in the back and butt, in critical condition.  Police say he will not cooperate with them.  So the police are trying to interrogate a victim that’s in critical condition?

78th Street and Bennett Avenue: 24 years old man shot in the butt.

5600 block of South Wolcott Avenue: 27 years old man shot by a drive by shooter.

6200 block of South Vernon Avenue: A man and woman shot and wounded.  Police suspect it was a drive by shooting.

4500 block of North Simonds Drive: Two women shot and wounded.  This incident is a prime example why news media cannot rely on police for info.  At first police reported that only one woman was shot in the leg.  Later the police changed the report to show two women shot, one in the shoulder the other in the arm and back.  Do you ever wonder why official police press reports change so much?

300 block of North Laramie Avenue: Two men, who were passengers in a van, were shot and wounded when the van stopped at an intersection.

Notice that most of the shooting victims are males.

Once again, the shooting victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but there are no gun battles. 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!

World War 3 Afghanistan, 26 – 28 June 2014: Money laundering now approved by G-7! Bilderberg vaccines now required for returning refugees! Obama orders new Afghan president to attend largest ever NATO meeting! U.S. taxpayers funding ice cream business?

Balkh Province: In  Chamtal and Chahar Bolak districts, Mujahideen launched attacks on police FOBs (Forward Operating Base, aka outposts), killing at least four cops and wounding several.

Farah Province: In Bala Bolok District, a bus drove over a landmine.  Five people killed, at least five wounded.

Ghazni Province: In Khwaja Omari District, the district police chief was assassinated by explosion, along with his body guard.

Helmand Province: In Nawzad District, district officials claim at least 70 people killed and 100 wounded in the ongoing Mujahideen offensive.  In Sangin District, officials say at least 260 people were killed.  Afghan National Army claims they’ve stopped the Mujahideen offensive.  At least 2500 families became refugees.

Herat Province: The U.S. occupation has been good for ice cream.  An ice cream factory in Herat City is now producing 30 metric tons per  day!  Of course there is a U.S. taxpayer connection.  The Herat Ice Cream factory is getting funding from the U.S. military’s Task Force for Business and Stability Operations, and has contracted with Pennsylvania based WCB Ice Cream packaging supplier.  Herat Ice Cream was just voted Best Ice Cream in Afghanistan.  Apparently even Mujahideen like to take a break by eating Herat Ice Cream!

Kabul Province:  There are reports that the outgoing president Hamid Karzai has ordered the Afghan National Army to work with Pakistani military in a joint anti-militant operation.  NATO officials have told Afghan officials that the new security deals with the Obama regime and NATO must be signed prior to September 2014.  At the beginning of September the British empire United Kingdom will host the largest NATO meeting ever, and the new Afghan president has been ordered to attend!  Obama’s puppet presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah now claims that 2.5-million votes are fraudulent!  This Obama licker has yet to provide evidence for his claim, but swears he eventually will.  Outgoing president Hamid Karzai says the new Afghan president will take office on the 5th day of Eid.

Kandahar Province: In Kandahar City, an explosion in a hotel/shopping district killed two people and wounded three.

Khost Province: In Mosa Khel District, three people killed by explosion.  Government officials claim the victims were also the perpetrators, who were planting landmines when one went off.  On the Pakistani side of the border, Pakistani officials claim more than 5-thousand refugees returned from Khost Province.  However, there’s a catch for Pakistani refugees wanting to return home; they must subject their children to Bilderberg/UN supported mass vaccinations. So far, Pakistani officials say they’ve forced inoculated 2186 children.   Afghan officials say there are 50-thousand people from Pakistan’s Waziristan living in Khost Province.

Kunar Province:  After the supposed Karzai agreement with Pakistan (to join in anti-militant operations), provincial officials say Pakistan fired 73 artillery rounds.  Homes were damaged or destroyed, but no reports of casualties.

Maidan Wardak Province: In Jalga District, reports that helicopter gunships attacked a family.   Witnesses say the ‘copter pilots waited for the family to get out of their vehicle before attacking them.  At least six people killed.

Uruzgan Province: Gezab District, 10 cops killed in ambush.  Government officials think the cops were set up by a former government peace negotiator, who led the cops to believe they were meeting Mujahideen who wanted to surrender.

Despite being declared the most corrupted country in the World (several years in a row), the multi-national Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has decided that money laundering through Afghanistan is a good thing and refused to officially blacklist Afghan financial institutions (for the umpteenth year now)!  Since it was created by the U.S. led G-7 in 1989 “The FATF has developed a series of Recommendations that are recognised as the international standard for combating of money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.”  So apparently Afghanistan is not a threat for “financing of terrorism and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction”?  Or is it more proof that the ‘western’ G-7 governments are using Afghanistan to launder their ill gotten gains (opium smuggling anyone?)?

About 150 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 1544th Transportation Company (Illinois) received mobilization orders for Afghanistan.   This comes shortly after their latest mobilization order was canceled.

The Army National Guard’s 1035th Survey and Design Team (Maine) returned from Afghanistan.

World War 3: Iraq buys Russian aircraft, after Obama regime apparently reneges on F-16 delivery!

29 June 2014 (14:17 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Ramadan 1435/08 Tir 1393/03 Geng Wu(6th month) 4712

The Iraqi government is receiving five Russian Suchoi (Sukhoi) 25 Frogfoot tank killing ground attack aircraft, as well as Su-30 fighters and Mil 28 Havoc and 35 Hind attack helicopters.

According to news reports from other countries, including U.S. allies, the Su-25 and Su-30 are being brought in because the Obama regime apparently reneged on a deal to sell F-16s to Iraq.

Iraqi government sources say they’ve become frustrated with the U.S. F-16 deal because delivery of the Falcon/Viper has been continuously delayed, so now they’re turning to Russia and Belarus.

Iraq just signed a $500-million USD deal with Russia and Belarus to buy used military planes.  Reports say Russian air force advisors are already in-country training up Iraqi pilots to fly the Suchois and Mils.

Illinois govna (Govna means governor in British Cockney slang, but in the Balkans it’s slang for feces, just think about that the next time you hear somebody say “‘Ello govna!”) Pat Quinn refused to testify in front of state legislators as to what happened to the $55-million USD that was supposed to be used to fight violence: “This is an Audit Commission. The program didn’t work out. I’m angry about the fact that it didn’t work out! Having said that, we defunded that particular program, abolished the agency that was running the program, and moved the anti-violence effort to another agency. I’ve talked about this issue repeatedly!”  

For an example of Illinois law enforcement ineptitude and criminality, the state has agreed to pay five men $40-million. The men were wrongfully arrested by State Police and then convicted of raping and killing a 14 years old girl in Dixmoor.  The men were also teenagers at the time of their arrests, in 1991.  They were exonerated in 2011 when DNA tests showed none of them committed the rape.  The five victims of evil police and courts said they were also tortured.

But wait there’s more!  A man who was arrested when he was 13 years old, and then convicted of murder, was exonerated in 2009 after 16 years in prison.  Illinois must now pay him $25-million for the wrongful conviction.

And just a couple of days ago the Cook County Prosecutor has revealed that two men in prison, for a murder 15 years ago, are probably innocent.  According to an investigation the ‘confession’ of one of the men is now suspect because he made the ‘confession’ to police before the murder actually took place!!!  The Prosecutor pointed out that the man was already in jail when the murder took place!

Notice that most of the shooting victims are males.

Once again, the shooting victims were not armed. You would think that if this was gang violence there would be gun battles, but there are no gun battles. 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!
