World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: More proof the U.S. ain’t leavin’! More proof U.S. & U.K. behind illegal drugs, Iran says ‘I told you so!’ More proof of U.S. corruption!

27 June 2013/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Helmand Province, Musa Kala District, a Mujahid sniper claims he killed a NATO/ISAF troop.  In Nad Ali District, reports that a NATO/ISAF tank was blown up by a landmine.  Two crew killed, two wounded.  Mujahideen say they ambushed a dismounted patrol in the same district.

Members of the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan Party are condemning plans by the United States to establish permanent military bases after the 2014 ‘pullout’.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, the U.K.’s Guardian news source reports a booming housing market.  One driver is that apparently rents have dropped, however, the article points out that the money supporting such a “…lavish lifestyle has been funded by an influx of foreign money and the proceeds from drugs, which have enriched a tiny elite while most of the country still grapples with desperate poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy and some of the lowest-life-expectancy in the world.”

The Guardian also reported that many property developers in Kabul do not believe the U.S./NATO is leaving in 2014: “Everyone says the Americans are leaving but they are not. They have invested too much in Afghanistan. The current problems are just politics by the U.S. to help them negotiate their strategic pact.”-Hasan Ali Sakhizada, wealthy property developer

Red Coat Simon Cowl is jumping on the corruption bandwagon and taking his …Got Talent TV show to Afghanistan.

The U.S. Department of Defense stated they want to continue funding contracted propaganda mills in Afghanistan.   This despite a recent Government Accountability Office report that says such funding of propaganda is just throwing taxpayer money down the toilet!  The top private producer of propaganda in Afghanistan is the Leonie Group.  Last year the corrupt co-owner, Camille Chidiac, was suspended for using taxpayer money to launch an anti-news media propaganda campaign directed at USA Today!

It’s been revealed that $70 million U.S. tax dollars meant for agricultural development in Afghanistan has disappeared!  Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) blamed the problems on USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)!  SIGAR also said that farm equipment, like irrigation pumps and solar panels, ended up being used in the homes of elites!  (World War 3, False Flag Front: USAID a covert terrorist organization?)

A little history lesson: What was former Prime Minister of U.K. Harold Macmillan’s first rule of politics? Answer: “Don’t invade Afghanistan!”

26 June 2013/17 Sha’ban 1434/05 Tir 1391/19 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Paktia Province, Zormat district, Mujahideen report they ambushed a supply convoy.  They claim five trucks destroyed, one escorting military vehicle destroyed, and at least three people killed or wounded.

In Baghlan Province, Baghlan-e-Markazi District, Mujahideen captured a Afghan National Army (ANA) base.  The ANA then sent troops to take back the base, but after five hours of battle the ANA lost.  Mujahideen say they killed 13 ANA troops and wounded nine others.  They destroyed four vehicles and captured a large amount of weapons and ammo.  Two Mujahideen killed, two wounded.

The country of Georgia is now the top non-NATO country occupying Afghanistan, according to NATO.

USMC General James F. Amos says what military equipment the Marines can’t send back to the U.S. will be given away to other countries, or that “Anything that gets left in that country that has ‘USMC’ on the side will be purposefully left by General Dunford, or General Austin.”

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports that the U.S. controlled Afghanistan has broken another record year in illegal drug production.  In 2012 Afghanistan supplied 74% of the World’s illegal drugs!  Way to go U.S.A.!

In Iran, the National Security Commission accused the United Kingdom, as well as the United States, of being behind the explosive illegal drugs trade in Afghanistan.  Since the 2001 invasion, hundreds of Iranian border guards have been killed by drug traffickers out of Afghanistan.  Iran has spent at least $50 million fighting drug trafficking from Afghanistan in the past eight years.  Also, 100 metric tons of illegal drugs from Afghanistan were burned in public displays throughout Iran.  Officials condemned recent accusations from U.K. officials, that Iran is the one trafficking drugs to Europe, saying the U.K and U.S. are not doing anything to stop drug trafficking from Afghanistan: “Iran is at the front line of fighting narcotics, but countries involved not only don’t provide assistance to us, they refuse to provide the basic equipment such as sniffer dogs and electronic equipment!”-General Ahmad Reza Radan, Commander of Iranian Police Forces

In Kabul Province, Bagrami District, the U.S. SIGAR says two schools built by U.S. funded contractors are so unsafe they threaten the lives of the students: “Specifically the school’s interior and exterior walls appear to be insufficiently constructed to hold the weight of the concrete ceiling.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

Iranian Deputy Energy Minister, Alireza Daemi, announced Iran will build a water treatment plant in Kabul city.  Unlike the U.S. which throws taxpayer money at contractors with any oversight, Iran strictly controls their projects in Afghanistan, which include roads and power lines.

In United States, a federal appeals court has rejected the appeal of a U.S. contractor convicted of trying to smuggle $150000 out of Afghanistan.  He tried to ship the taxpayer cash from Bagram airbase to Kansas, in a DHL box.

In Germany, the U.S. Army’s 2nd Cavalry (Cav-all-ry, not Calvary. Calvary is the hill Jesus was crucified on) Regiment held a deployment ceremony.  The regiment’s 2000 soldiers have been ordered back to Afghanistan!  They will be based in Kandahar Province.

25 June 2013/16 Sha’ban 1434/04 Tir 1391/18 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Ghazni Province, reports that four Polish-NATO troops killed, two wounded, apparently after their armored vehicle hit a landmine.

In Logar Province, Poli Alam city, a car bomb rammed a regional police headquarters, as many as 25 people killed, including top police commanders.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, eight suicide bombers/attackers killed themselves and several government security guards when they attacked the Presidential Palace.  Mujahideen said the target was the CIA office inside the compound, along with two U.S. Generals.

In Kandahar Province, Arghandab District, a bus ran over a landmine killing nine people and wounding three others.

In Uruzgan Province, Deh Rawud District, six Afghan National Police were killed when they drove over a landmine.   They were on their way home from operations against Mujahideen.

The U.S. Army admitted the Mujahideen were right when they said they killed U.S. soldiers on 23 June: In Paktika Province, Sar Rowzah District, the U.S. Army says a Specialist who’s home state was California, was killed by explosion.  In Paktia Province, Zormat District, the U.S. Army admitted a Sergeant who’s home state was Maine was killed by explosion.

World War 3, Martial Law U.S.A.: Canadian diplomat says U.S. citizens complicit in their own destruction!

26 June 2013 (12:50 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Sha’ban 1434/05 Tir 1391/19 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“To preserve its perilous dominance the U.S. today is arming against its own people….”-Peter Dale Scott, former English Professor at the University of California Berkeley, May 2012

Also a former Canadian diplomat, Peter Dale Scott, attended a meeting in Russia in May 2012.  He was commenting on U.S. foreign policy and potential threats to Russia.  He also realized that the people of the United States have backed way off their anti-government protests since Obama became president, and are seemingly complicit in the federal government’s totalitarian agenda.

Peter Dale Scott: What particularly concerns me is the relative absence of public response in America to a long-term Pentagon-CIA agenda of aggressive military hegemonism – or what I will call “dominationism.” No doubt many Americans may think that a global pax Americana will secure a period of peace, much like the pax Romana of two millennia ago. I myself am confident that it will not: rather, like the imperfect pax Britannica of a century ago, it will lead inevitably to major conflict, possibly nuclear war. For the secret of the pax Romana was that Rome, under Hadrian, withdrew from Mesopotamia and accepted strict limits to its area of dominance. Britain never achieved that wisdom until too late; America, to date, has never achieved it at all.

And so very few in America seem to care about Washington’s global domination project, at least since the failure of massive protests to prevent the Iraq War. We have seen much critical examination of why America fought in Vietnam, and even the American involvement in atrocities like the Indonesian massacre of 1965. Authors like Noam Chomsky and William Blum have chronicled America’s criminal acts since World War Two, but without any prominent concern about the recent acceleration of American military expansiveness. Only a few, like Chalmers Johnson and Andrew Bacevich, have written about the progressive consolidation of a war machine that now dominates America’s political processes.

It is also striking that, until quite recently, the nascent Occupy movement has had little to say about America’s unprovoked wars; I am not sure they have even targeted the militarization of surveillance, law enforcement, and detention camps which are so important a part of the domestic apparatus of repression that threatens their own survival – the so-called “continuity of government” (COG) measures by which America’s military planners have prepared never again to have to deal with a successful American anti-war movement. 

…….I hope that Americans will mobilize against American dominationism, and call for a policy declaration, either from the administration or from Congress, that would:

1) explicitly renounce past Pentagon calls for “full spectrum dominance” as a military objective for American foreign policy,

2) reject as unacceptable the deeply-ingrained practice of preemptive wars,

3) renounce categorically any US plans for the permanent use of military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kyrgyzstan, and

4) recommit the United States to conducting future military operations in accordance with the procedures set out in the United Nations Charter.

Scott published in 2003 a book that established that U.S. foreign policy is about propping up the Nixon created U.S. petro-dollar system, and that the military uses drug trafficking to fund ever escalating operations. The book is called Drugs, Oil and War.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Iran preps to invade Syria? Israel trafficking arms to al Qaeda?

17 June 2013 (19:16 UTC-07 Tango 16 June 2013)/08 Sha’ban 1434/27 Khordad 1391/10 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The British newspaper, The Independent, has a long winded article who’s only claim is “….that a military decision has been taken in Iran – even before last week’s presidential election – to send a first contingent of 4,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards to Syria…”

The United Kingdom based news outlet claims their source for the info is “…pro-Iranian sources which have been deeply involved in the Islamic Republic’s security.”

There is currently nothing to be found in any Iranian news sources, about such claims.

Iranian news media has been reporting on meetings between Israeli officials, and officials from Qatar, concerning the supply of weapons to U.S. backed al Qaeda insurgents in Syria.  The meeting actually took place in the United Kingdom: “The 4-hour meeting was held in a house in Braum House in London belonging to Khalid a-Abeed, a Qatari citizen residing in Britain, on May 20.  During the meeting, It was decided that Israel prepare and supply the weapons needed by the terrorists in Syria and enter negotiations with European arms manufacturing companies on arms purchases and money transfer methods, and the Qatari side cover the funds and needed budget for purchases.”-Unnamed Qatari security source

In Helmand Province, Nawzad District, seven Georgian ISAF  troops killed, nine wounded by suicide bomber.

In Uruzgan Province, an Australian Special Operations Task Group Digger was shot and wounded while on a “disruption operation”.  Digger officials are investigating if the gunshot was intentional or accidental.  They claim Disruption Operations help keep civilians safe!

In Herat Province, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) reported that 366 civilians were killed in the first two months of 2013.  That’s a 10% increase from the same time in 2012.

In Sar-e Pol Province, Sar-e Pol city, a hotel was bombed.  At least one person killed, 15 wounded.

In Kunar Province, Manogi District, local government officials say U.S./ISAF carried out a night time drone strike.   Three children killed, two women wounded.   ISAF outright denied the provincial government claims: “This claim is not true.  ISAF takes allegations of civilian causalities very seriously.  We do not have any operational reporting that supports these allegation that civilians were killed in Kunar province.”

The U.S. state of New Jersey welcomed home 135 members of the 508th Military Police Company, Army National Guard.

05 June 2013/26 Rajab 1434/15 Khordad 1391/27 Wu-Wu (4th month) 4711

In Uruzgan Province, it was revealed that the Australian army has been holding Afghans prisoner in a secret prison on their Tarin Kowt military base.  Afghan legal officials say the prisoners have never been charged with any crime and are calling the Digger run prison “illegal”.

The Afghan Ministry of Foreign Affairs is urging Afghans to stop entering Iran illegally.  More and more Afghans have been flooding into Iran, illegally, in search of jobs and security.  However, Iranian border guards have shot and killed many Afghans, mainly because of illegal drug trafficking.  Iranians say not only is opium being smuggled in, but the U.S. drug meth as well.

A report by the Center for a New American Security says Pakistan will remain the key player in controlling Afghanistan.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: Secret prisons revealed! More proof drug use increase is part of evil U.S. plan! Rumsfeld says it’s not combat!

31 May 2013/21 Rajab 1434/10 Khordad 1391/22 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

In Kapisa Province, witnesses say a U.S./NATO drone strike killed six people and wounded 12 others.  Most of those killed and wounded were women and children.

In Nuristan Province, local government officials say Pakistan shelled Kamdish District.  One person killed, two wounded.

In Ghazni Province, major battles reported between Mujahideen and pro-government forces.  Both sides reported dozens of killed and wounded.

Mujahideen continue to swear they were not behind the attack on the Red Cross in Jalalabad: “….the Islamic Emirate wants to make it clear to everyone that it had no hand in the attack on….the ICRC office in Jalalabad city and neither does it support such attacks.”-Qari Yousuf Ahmad

In an interview with Politics Confidential, evil Donald Rumsfeld admitted the long term occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq are failures: “Well, it’s not combat….the Department of Defense…is not organized and trained and equipped to nation build…..Don’t leave the impression that you can run a country that you can’t run.”

30 May 2013/20 Rajab 1434/09 Khordad 1391/21 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

In Maiden Wardak Province, a U.S. Army Staff Sergeant was killed after the vehicle he was in drove over a landmine.  The Texas man was assigned to the 68th Combat Support Sustainment Battalion, 43rd Sustainment Brigade, 4th Infantry Division out of Fort Carson, Colorado.

Just a few days after saying they weren’t leaving Afghanistan, the International Committee of the Red Cross has suspended operations in eastern Afghanistan: “As a consequence of the attack… all our activities have been frozen and our office in Jalalabad is closed.”

The U.S. Department of Defense is investigating whether a USMC General deliberately relaxed security at the Camp Bastion/Camp Leatherneck, in Helmand last year.  The joint base was attacked, people killed and at least $200 million USD in damage to U.S. aircraft.  Last month is was revealed, after a U.K. investigation, that British run guard towers were unmanned on the night of the attack.

29 May 2013/19 Rajab 1434/08 Khordad 1391/20 Ding-Si (4th month) 4711

In Ghazni Province, police say a man detonated a bomb near a school, wounding two boys and one girl. Police say they shot and killed the man.

In Panjshir Province, six or seven men dressed in Afghan National Police uniforms attacked the provincial government compound.   At least one of them was wearing an explosive vest, and blew himself up.  The others were killed in a gunbattle: “Six militants armed with suicide vests and weapons stormed the provincial governor compound at around 3am local time in Bazarak city. The attack and counter-attack claimed the lives of all attackers and one policeman.”-Rohullah Yousufi

In Helmand Province, Camp Bastion, a secretly run prison was revealed.  The U.K. Red Coats have been holding Afghans for at least 14 months, without charge, violating current agreements with the government of Afghanistan.

In Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad City, the Red Cross building was attacked, at least one person killed, several people wounded.  Government officials blame Mujahideen, but Mujahideen say it was not their doing.

Reports out of Afghanistan say the number of drug addicts has increased right along with the increased production of opium.  The Afghan Counter Narcotics Ministry points out that the majority of people in Afghan prisons are there on drug charges.  The Ministry also backs up past claims by Iran and Russia, that more and more Afghans are being pushed into drug trafficking into other countries:  “Around 3 million people are involved in drug trafficking across the country…”-Abdul Khalil Bakhtyar, Counter Narcotics Ministry

Afghan officials point out that the provinces that have the biggest opium production are under direct U.S./NATO/ISAF control: “90% of opium have been producing at Helmand, Kandahar, Farah and Urzgan Provinces…”-Zabi Ullah, Counter Narcotics Ministry

An opium addict said it best, revealing the possible true motive for the drug explosion under the watch of the United States: “I am happy to die rather than to be alive. If you wish bad luck to your enemy wish him to become addicted to opium or heroin, as there is no other greater punishment rather than being addicted.”-Noor Mohammad, Kapisa Province

Another report, from Reuters, backs up claims made by Iranian border police over the years; the U.S. drug meth (methamphetamine) is being made and trafficked through Afghanistan.  According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, meth use in Afghanistan tripled in 2012.   Afghanistan is already a violent place, now imagine large numbers of Afghans addicted to a drug that turns people into paranoid homicidal maniacs: “If this country gets addicted to meth, there will be a big problem!”-Peter Bottomley, UNODC

Unnamed ignorant and pathological liars within the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (plenty of reports showing the DEA is actually a major drug dealer) told Reuters reporters that the meth was coming from Iran!

“This is the most disturbing hearing I’ve been to in some time.  You guys have rewritten the Constitution today!  You guys have invented this term, ‘associated forces’, that’s nowhere in this document.  It’s the justification for everything, and it renders the war powers of Congress null and void!“-Angus King, U.S. Senator from Maine, upon hearing the U.S. Defense Department’s plans to continue the War on Terror

A year ago John Brennan, U.S. CIA boss, said “…the al Qaeda core is no longer relavant.”  Two months ago James Clapper, director of U.S. National Intelligence, testified to the U.S. Senate saying al Qaeda is “…probably unable to carryout large scale, complex attacks on the west.”  But, just a couple days ago Michael Sheehan, assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, said the U.S. led War on Terror will last another “…10 to 20 years.”

Senator John McCain revealed one of the new fronts in the War on Terror: “…North Africa…”

Sheehan also revealed a new front in the War on Terror, the United States, when he said the War on Terror stretches “…from Boston to the FATA [Pakistan].”
