Germany returns to NAZI police stateism! City of Berlin locked down for U.S. President Obama! Residents can’t even get to work without special passes!

“This is insane. I’ve never seen so much security!”-a 20 year veteran newspaper editor in Berlin

U.S. President Barack Obama was given a welcome worthy of the Führer, when he arrived in Berlin, Germany!

The entire city of Berlin was locked down, even the Brandenburg Gate was closed to traffic.  Reporters with Deutsche Welle said people weren’t even allowed to open their windows, even though it was a hot day and many don’t have air conditioning: “‘Whatever you do, don’t open the windows,’ warns an experienced colleague, as two small figures move about on the roof of the government building opposite. They might be window cleaners, but they’re more likely to be snipers – sure to be targeting us, according to the colleague. It’s not quite clear whether he’s serious. The windows remain closed for safety reasons.”

There’s even reports that a Secret Service agent shoved German President Joachim Gauck, when he tried to greet Obama!  Reporters complain that their cell phones have been searched multiple times, the automatron security guards say only “Sorry, we have to do it.”

“Have you seen the American security officer with the thick legs? I’ve got a date with her afterwards!”-one of many German jokes about paranoid U.S. security personnel

At least 8000 polizie were deployed, complete with garish green painted armored vehicles, armed with remote control machine guns mounted on turrets.  All for 4000 to 6000 ‘invited’ guests to hear Obama give a hypocritical speech called Peace with Justice.

Obama even ripped off Kennedy and used the hilarious quote “Ich bin ein Berliner” (you see it actually means “I am a jelly donut” in Berlin dialect, because a Berliner is a type of jelly donut.  If you want to say you are a resident of the city then you should say “Ich bin Berliner”, drop the “ein”).

Oh, but Obama probably didn’t even realize how many Berliners he prevented from getting to work or errands, because of the massive NAZIistic security.

Berliners had to have special passes to cross certain streets, some gave up after waiting hours at check points.

Many Germans who lived in East Germany during the Cold War said it was like going back in time to Stasi control!  Markus Ferber, of the Christian Social Union political group, said Obama’s visit and the domestic spying program in the U.S. amounts to “American-style Stasi tactics.”

Who knows how much this is costing the taxpayers?  But polls still show Germans love Obama, someone get the man a toothbrush mustache and red, white & black armband!

It isn’t just that Germans love Obama, it turns out that the United States is the only thing keeping the German economy from crashing.

The United States is the largest investor into the German economy, and 50% of German foreign investments go to the United States.  U.S. companies provide at least 800000 jobs to Germans.  Germany is the third largest foreign employer in the U.S. (after Canada and United Kingdom. Hah, you thought it would be China)

Oh, but that doesn’t mean the economy is getting better.  On the same day that Noble Peace Prize winner Führer Obama arrived to give his Peace with Justice speech, Germany’s second largest Too Big to Jail bank, Commerzbank, announced it would layoff at least 5200 people over the next three years.

World War 3, Asian Front: Afghan Pakistan Iran War continues to escalate! More proof no 2014 pullout! U.S. taxes stolen!

12 May 2013/02 Rajab 1434/22 Ordibehest 1391/03 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

In Kandahar Province, Arghandab District, reports that two civilians killed by U.S. personnel in pre-dawn home invasion.  Four people kidnapped.

In Logar Province, four of eight Turkish engineers captured by Mujahideen last month, were released.

In Helmand Province, the district attorney for Marjah District was assassinated.  He drove over a landmine planted just for him.  Also Denmark’s Prime Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, made an unannounced visit to Danish troops in Helmand.  She said Denmark will remain after the supposed 2014 pullout, spending taxpayer money: “Denmark will be involved in Afghanistan also after 2014, but we will focus on civilian and development efforts.”

The United States has once again thrown its support behind the artificial border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.  All Afghan leaders have stated they will not accept the British empire imposed Durand Line border.  Most of western Pakistan actually belongs to Afghanistan. The evil Red Coats arbitrarily drew the line in 1893, to separate India from Afghanistan.  It was later used, by the British, to create the new country of Pakistan.

In Kunar Province, Asadbad city, one child was killed and several people wounded by an artillery attack from Pakistan.

The Missouri U.S.A., Army National Guard’s 1138th Engineer Company returned home from Afghanistan.

In Nuristan Province, a National Directorate of Security (NDS) agent was assassinated.  Local cops say a bomb exploded as he left his house to go to work.

In Kunar Province, 30 Pakistani artillery rounds reportedly hit Shegal District, wounding one child. Also, 35 Pakistani artillery rounds reportedly hit Sarkano District wounding four people.

In Kandahar province, the police chief of Panjwai District blames Pakistan for ongoing violence in his district: “The only enemies we have are from Pakistan. There are many groups that work under the ISI of Pakistan. And some of our Afghans are there, being trained by Pakistan, who sends them here……..the past 4 years Pakistan has been trying to bring Afghanistan under its control.”-Lieutenant Colonel Sultan Mohammad

The Afghan Senate is demanding that the United States military kick the Pakistani army out of Goshta district of eastern Nangarhar province.

In Faryab Province, seven Afghan National Police (ANP), including their boss, and one civilian were wounded after they drove past a motorcycle bomb that was remote detonated.

In Farah Province, 300 Afghan migrant workers were entering Iran illegally.  Iranian border guards open fired and allegedly killed ten people, according to Afghan sources: “As soon as they touched Iranian soil the Iranian border police opened fire.”-Abdul Rahman Zhwandai, governor of Farah Province

Currently there are 1 million Afghans living in Iran, legally.  There is an estimated 1.4 million Afghans illegally in Iran, and Iranians are getting tired of the seeming daily flood of Afghans fleeing the supposedly U.S. liberated and stabilized country of Afghanistan.  In 2012 Iranian border cops allegedly killed 23 Afghans trying to enter Iran illegally.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is pledging more of Germany’s tax money to Afghanistan.  It’s part of a post-2014 military pact, however Merkel claims the tax money will be issued only if certain ‘democratic’ goals are met.

The World Bank gives Afghanistan even more money.  A $55 million USD grant for vocational education.

According to industry group Professional Overseas Contractors, the 2014 pullout might see U.S. military personnel leave, but they will be replaced with thousands of contracted security forces (mercenaries).  The effective result will be continued U.S. military presence: “It’s a de facto army, a de facto military presence there. They are a de facto logistic and supply chain. We’re going to be relying on contractors across the board. They will be doing all of the things that go into nation building.”-Malou Innocent, Cato Institute

It was also revealed that U.S. taxpayers are spending hundreds of billions of dollars every year on government contractors.

In Nangarhar Province, Achin District, at least 11 de-miners (people who remove landmines) and their purpose built armored vehicles were captured by Mujahideen.

In Kunduz Province, Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel made an unannounced visit to German troops.  She hinted at the deployment of more German troops: “…we have achieved a great deal. But there are still places, where there is no security at all. We need to deploy German soldiers…”

A Mujahideen group says the U.S. does not plan on leaving Afghanistan.  The group says Afghans will never compromise on their independence, and will not recognize any agreement made by the puppet government and the United States: “Afghans want an independent Afghanistan. We will never make any deal on our independence.”-Zabiullah Mujahed

About four dozen U.S. Air Force Reserve airmen, from the 459th Air Refueling Wing, deployed to Afghanistan.  One Reservist said it was his 6th deployment!

The director of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) says the Obama administration is trying to silence SIGAR’s investigations into U.S. corruption in Afghanistan: “Over the last 10 months, I have been criticized by some bureaucrats for not pre-clearing my press releases with them, for not letting them edit the titles of my audits, for talking too much to Congress, for talking too much to the press.…basically, for not being a ‘team player’ and undermining ‘our country’s mission in Afghanistan.’”-John Sopko

Afghan President Hamid Karzai revealed that the United States will maintain at least nine military bases in Afghanistan, for at least ten years after the supposed 2014 pullout!

U.S. government investigators have discovered that $50 million tax dollars have been stolen!  The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) says the money was put in Afghan banks.  SIGAR officials blame both the U.S. and Afghan governments.

18 April 2013/07 Jumada t-Tania 1434/29 Farvardin 1391/09 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Mujahideen groups have vowed vengeance for the latest U.S. shootings (guards shooting rubber bullets at prisoners has happened several times over the years) of several illegally detained people at the Guantanamo prison: “The American cowardly troops, who have lost all will to fight Mujahideen head on in the battlefields, now want to avenge their losses and defeat by picking on defenseless tied up prisoners to show their bravery!!!? We once again condemn this American savagery with the strongest of words. This barbaric act of American troops clearly demonstrates their ongoing criminal behavior which they launched simultaneously alongside their eleven year old invasion…….The Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate also vow to avenge these wronged prisoners by targeting the American invaders in Afghanistan with all might at their disposal….”

The International Committee of the Red Cross is warning that violence in Afghanistan is on the increase.

India and China have held their first meetings concerning plans to take over from the U.S. in Afghanistan after the 2014 NATO pullout: “India and China share common concerns on ensuring stability in the country, particularly in light of their sizeable investments….”-The Hindu, independent newspaper from India

Christian Science Monitor reporting that the oil/mineral resources in Afghanistan are worth an estimated $1 trillion USD!

The U.S. Marine Corps announced they will give away expensive MRAP armored vehicles to other countries.  The USMC says it’ll be cheaper then trying to ‘retrograde’ them back to the States from Afghanistan.

Government Evil: Baroness Thatcher hated the World over! British nobby bobbys demanding protestors turn themselves in before her funeral!

16 April 2013 (14:08 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Jumada t-Tania 1434/27 Farvardin 1391/07 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

“She oversaw one of the most brutal prison regimes in Europe. She was involved in overseeing a terrible regime that was responsible for the torture of hundreds of young men and women…..My only regret is that Thatcher was never brought before a war crimes tribunal.”-Jim McVeigh, Irish Republican Army

The main streamer media in the United States has done nothing but bemoan the death of evil monarchist Baroness Thatcher (aka Margaret Hilda Thatcher).  They have to because it’s all part of the Ronald Reagan era of bold face lies!

Hatred of Thatcher by the common people of United Kingdom is so intense that British bobbys (aka Thatcher’s Boot Boys) are demanding that anybody planning to protest at tomorrows funeral services need to turn themselves in now.  The London MET is mobilizing 4000 bobbys to provide security against their own fellow citizens at tomorrow’s funeral procession!

Reports say the bob on your nob coppers will invoke section 5 of the Pubic Order Act.  Section 5 allows bobbers to arrest anybody they claim is making harassing or alarming gestures.  It’s similar to rules in many U.S. schools, which says if a teacher is offended or distracted by what your child wears, or says or does, they can be hauled in by the resource officer (school cop).

Some protest groups say they’re going to egg the funeral procession.  Other groups say they’re simply going to turn their backs to the hearse as it goes by.  They could all be arrested under section 5.

The main reason working class Brits hate Maggie is because she was one of the first Right to Work You Over politicians.  She started the trend of busting down the labor unions, along with her buddy Ronald Reagan in the United States.  (of course many unions shot themselves in the foot by becoming as greedy as the corporate fat cats)

Maggie’s Right to Work You Over policies did nothing to improve employment for the working class, but it reduced inflation simply because less money was being spent.

Recently the Ding Dong the Witch is Dead song became a number two hit in United Kingdom.  It’s now the anti-Thatcher anthem.  Right to Work You Over supporters tried to counter with the I’m in Love with Margret Thatcher song.  Big Fail!  The BBC even refused to play the full Ding Dong song, so you know who’s side they’re on (which is strange because in 2007 the BBC was accused of being Thatcher hate mongers).

Ever since the Baroness died (yes she was a Baroness, she was not a commoner as I’ve seen some websites claim) there have been Thatcher Death Parties held across the U.K., and arrests have been made.

But it’s not just Brits that hate her guts.

Argentinos hate her because of the illegal occupation of the Malvinas Islands. She also ordered the sinking of an Argentine ship, that was well outside the British declared Total Exclusion Zone, killing more than 300 Argentinos!

French hate her because she made insinuating threats against France after the Argentinos sank several Royal Navy ships with French made missiles.  French officials claim she demanded the codes to disarm the Exocet missiles, and even threatened to nuke Argentina.  No serving French minister will attend her funeral.  In fact, when it was suggested that a street in Paris be named after Maggie, the majority countered by saying they’d rather name it after Irish martyr Bobby Sands.

The Irish hate her, saying the Iron Lady should “Rust in hell!”.  In 1981 she refused to intervene in a prison hunger strike, and 10 Irishmen starved to death.

Germans hate her because she fought against the unification of Germany.  She once told German Chancellor Helmut Kohl that she still thought of Germany in World War 2 terms, and did not want to see Germany united.

The Scotts and Welsh hated her Community Charge/Poll Tax on renters.  It was totally unfair and only lasted two years.  She also treated their coal miners like shit!  Some mining communities say they are still suffering from her policies all these decades later.

Many Asians hate her for this statement: “There will be no Asian Century under the government I lead!”

Cambodians hate her because she helped trained the genocidal Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge.

South Africans hate her because she supported the apartheid policies of the pro-British government.

Chileans hate her because she supported the U.S. backed Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, the man who assassinated Chile’s democratically elected President Salvador Allende, then went on a killing spree against those who voted for Allende.

British hatred of the European Union can be traced directly to Maggie Thatcher.

You want the ultimate proof that Baroness Maggie was a Witch with a B?  A lot of SOBs will attend her funeral, including F.W. de Klerk, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Henry Kissinger!  And don’t forget other Witches with a B, Queen Elizabeth II, Marsha Blackburn and Michele Bachmann will attend.

“Ministers welcomed the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty by the United Nations General Assembly on 2 April……G8 Foreign Ministers continue their commitment to efforts that strengthen and enhance long-term sustainability, stability, safety, and security in outer space.”

“Ministers recalled the decision at the 2010 NPT Review Conference to hold a Conference on the establishment in the Middle East of a zone free of nuclear weapons…”

The G8/Trilateral Commission hypocritically pointed the WMD finger at Iran, but absolutely no mention of Israel, who already has at least 20+ nukes!

Syria: “…..reaffirmed their commitment to supporting a Syrian-led political transition, and the work of Joint UN and Arab League Special Representative Brahimi…..called for the UN Security Council to remain seized of this matter…”

Yemen: “….re-affirmed their strong support for the political transition process in Yemen, including the start of the National Dialogue Conference, as outlined in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Initiative and the UN Implementation Plan…urged all parties to comply with UNSCRs 2014 and 2051…..welcomed the generous pledges made by the Friends of Yemen….recognised the stability of Yemen remains essential for the stability of the wider region, and the maintenance of international security….advance security sector reform and ongoing efforts to counter the continued threat from AQ-AP and other violent extremists.”

Iran: “G8 Foreign Ministers expressed their deep concern regarding Iran’s continuing nuclear and ballistic missile activities….Iran has the ability to avoid further isolation and improve its situation only if it promptly addresses the concerns of the international community [meaning the Trilateral Commission, which is actually what the G8 is].”

Israel/Palestine: “Ministers expressed grave concerns about the poor state of the Palestinian economy, and the impact this has on Palestinian state-building efforts. Ministers affirmed their support for the Palestinian Authority and encouraged Arab countries, as well as emerging economies, to extend the fullest assistance possible to revitalising the Palestinian economy.”

“The Ministers welcomed the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire of 21 November 2012 which ended hostilities in Gaza and southern Israel, condemned rocket attacks in contravention of this and urged all sides to uphold their commitments.”

There was no mention of ongoing/current atrocities committed by Israel against Palestinians since the November ‘ceasefire’.  There was no mention that the zionist government of Israel is the main reason the Palestinian economy is in shambles!

Arab Spring: “The Deauville Partnership with Arab Countries in Transition has played an important role in bringing together Middle Eastern and North African countries in transition, regional partner countries, G8 members, and International Financial Institutions in an effective and pragmatic partnership to promote successful economic and political transition.”

What this means is the G8/Trilateral Commission is behind the Arab Spring, and it is nothing more than the Western Christian Financier takeover of Islamic dominated countries, because Islam does not accept western christian financial (banking) policies.

The Group of Eight are: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, plus European Union.

World War 3, East Asian Front: More capitalist companies shut down in the KIR! Capitalist employees claim they’ve not been forced to leave!

The DPRK’s blockade of the Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR) is having an effect on the ROK capitalist companies operating there.

At this point four South Korean companies have had to cease operations. Three of them were involved with textiles, the fourth made machinery.

On Saturday a South Korean employee, who finally left the KIR, said he doesn’t recall hearing the North Koreans ordering him to leave:  “The security has tightened in the North, but I haven’t received any order to leave the complex. Our company is still in operation because we have some materials left. But in the next three to four days, we will probably reach a critical point.”-Kim Jin-ho

On Friday the estimated 53000 North Koreans working at the KIR refused to show up for work.  ROK officials say there is a little more than 500 South Koreans still working in the complex.
