Is it any coincidence that in the state considered to be the Mormon capital of the world, not only are there massive data collection centers run by corporations and government contractors, but massive yearly military intelligence wargames as well?

Edward Snowden proved that most of the spying by the National Security Agency is actually being done on U.S. citizens, and the NSA’s main data collection center is located on Camp Williams, Utah.

But there’s something else happening at Camp Williams: Operation Panther Strike.  Why?  “For the current conflicts we’re involved in, Utah provides some critical elements of realism. Salt Lake is at the same elevation as Bagram Airfield there in Afghanistan, and many soldiers comment on the similarities in the terrain. The exercise also tends to gravitate here because there is a lot of command support, and investments have been made to have all the necessary infrastructure in place.“-Colonel Derek Tolman, 300th MI Brigade, Utah

Panther Strike is a yearly wargame involving military intelligence units from the U.S. Army, Army Reserve, National Guard units from at least 20 states, and even the British Empire (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom)!

Panther Strike started in 2003 in Florida, then moved to Utah in 2005.

Then in 2012 it evolved into a global event, becoming the “premiere”  military inteligence wargame: “In previous years, there was more of an emphasis on Warrior Tasks and battle drills than you see in Panther Strike 2012. We really wanted to make this an intelligence-centered exercise.  By making Panther Strike more of an intelligence exercise, we’ve gotten a lot of attention from within the intelligence community, and a lot of support.  For example, Intelligence Security Command has a lot of resources and assets that we have been able to tap into and coordinate for this exercise. A lot of our training teams that came out are INSCOM teams, or are from INSCOM units, which brings a level of legitimacy to the exercise.”-Captain Timothy Kelley, 142nd MI Battalion, Florida

“This is the premiere military intelligence training exercise in the country where you will have signal intelligence, human intelligence, counterintelligence, imagery intelligence and all-source coupled with coalition partners. Soldiers coming to this exercise had the opportunity to work not only with the latest equipment and software; they had the opportunity to train using the full spectrum of intelligences available both in the Guard and in the active component.”-Major Scott A. Chalmers, 300th MI Brigade, Utah

Panther Strike 2014 recently kicked off at Camp Williams.  It involves more than 600 personnel from several federal and state military units, as well as from the British Empire (Australia, Canada and United Kingdom).

Panther Strike 2015  plans to bring in more foreign military units.

MARTIAL LAW U.S.A. 2013: FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS NSA DATA COLLECTION VIOLATES CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF U.S. CITIZENS! CALLS DATA COLLECTION “OREWELLIAN”.

International

World War 3 Afghanistan, 11 – 15 June 2014: You paid to create a Navy in landlocked Afghanistan! Obama releases Pakistani prisoners! More Guardsmen deploying, after 2015! Obama sees elections as the new altar of human sacrifice?

Herat Province:  11 voters had the fingers cut off by Mujahideen.

Kabul Province: Election officials revealed that at least 150 acts of violence have marred the runoff elections.  The National Directorate of Security says there were at least 473 attempted attacks on voting day.   The numbers jive with what Mujahideen claim.  At least 39 civilians killed, 88 wounded.  18 Afghan National Army personnel killed, 74 wounded.   176 Mujahideen killed, 95 wounded.  The Independent Election Commission admitted that 121 voting stations were never opened!  Obama presidential candidate puppet Abdullah Abdullah now wants to get rid of the Independent Election Commission, saying he will not recognize the IEC’s vote count if the IEC boss does not resign!  Government officials still call the second round of elections “successful”!  If this is what makes a successful election, then all of the elections in the United States must have been failures!  Obama regime lackey, and U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry said this about the election violence: “I’ve been to Afghanistan twice since becoming Secretary of State and many times before that. Every time I do, I’m impressed by how much Afghans have sacrificed for their future.”

Kandahar Province: In Kandahar City, two days of battles between Mujahideen and police resulted in dozens of people killed or wounded.

Nangarhar Province: In Jalalabad City, Obama regime puppet Abdullah Abdullah apparently ordered his supporters to assassinate supporters of his political rival!  Police report that Abdullah supporters shot and killed two supporters of Ashraf Ghani.  Three people were also wounded.  In Sarqul Yaftal District, a teacher was assassinated after it was revealed they voted for Ghani.  In another report, an adult and a child were killed, and one adult wounded, by supporters of Obama puppet Abdullah Abdullah.  Is this what Obama wants for the United States?

Parwan Province: Reuters revealed that the Obama regime has secretly release 12 prisoners from a secret U.S. prison.  The prisoners are a Frenchman, a Kuwaiti and 10 Pakistanis.

Samangan Province: In Aibak City, 10 election workers were killed when they drove over a landmine.  A child was also killed.  The ballot boxes were destroyed.  Is this what Obama wants for the United States?

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) discovered that U.S. taxpayers funded the creation of a river navy in landlocked Afghanistan!  It looks like a scam because the eight patrol boats never arrived in-country, even though they were paid for in 2010.  The U.S. Department of Defense decided the boats weren’t necessary, nine months after the money was spent! U.S. taxpayers were ripped off by $3-million USD!

In the U.S. state of fruits & nuts California, in the city of San Francisco ‘gay pride’ organizers banned National Guard and State Military Reserve recruiters from attending the Pride Parade.  This is perplexing because many openly homosexual people serve in the California Guard and Reserve, and Bradley-Chelsea Manning is the official Grand Marshal of the parade.

More than 150 militiamen of the National Guard’s 816th Engineer Company (North Dakota) were notified that they will deploy to Afghanistan in 2015.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 06 – 10 June 2014: U.S. taxes pay for Italian goats! More U.S. troops being killed by their own! National Guardsman now facing murder charges! United States now officially a combat zone?

Farah Province: In Khak-e-Safid District, a civilian vehicle ran over a landmine, killing four and wounding five.

Ghazni Province: 25 teachers and ten students at the university were kidnapped.

Helmand Province: In Sangin District, government officials claim five Mujahideen blew themselves up while planting landmines (this scenario seems to happening more and more).

Herat Province: The U.S. Department of Defense, and Colorado State University, are spending your tax money to buy Italian goats for Afghan ranchers: “What we’ve done is set this farm up to be something which is sustainable by the private sector. Ideally, what we would like to see is the markets to open up to Afghan cashmere. We’ve seen the change happening already, but we’d like to see it come around full circle for a fully revitalised industry in Afghanistan, where the cashmere is leaving Afghanistan as Afghan-branded cashmere.”-Benjamin Kolendar, Task Force for Business and Stability Operations

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, the convoy of Obama’s puppet candidate, Abdullah Abdullah, was attacked by two explosions.  Six people killed, 22 wounded, yet Obama’s puppet survived.  It’s being blamed on Pakistan.  Afghan Ministry of Defense reports hundreds of people killed and wounded in ongoing operations.  They include Afghan government forces, Mujahideen and militants from Pakistan.  Afghan President Hamid Karzai congratulated Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for his re-election victory.

Kandahar Province: In Maiwand District, a car bomb exploded next to an Afghan National Army vehicle.  Five ANA soldiers wounded.

Khost Province: In Alisher District, two Pakistani F-16s crossed into Afghan airspace.

Kunar Province: In Shegal District, provincial officials claim Pakistan fired 32 artillery rounds into their province.   In Khas Kunar District, a U.S.-NATO airstrike killed at least ten people, including Pakistanis.

Logar Province: A U.S. Army Specialist from California was killed.  There is confusion as to how he died.  Officially the U.S. Department of Defense said it was a “non-hostile” incident, but, the father of the soldier swears his son was actually in Zabul Province, where he was killed in a U.S. airstrike.  In  Mohammad Agha District, eight members of the NGO Mine Detection Center were executed by men with guns.

Nangarhar Province: In Lal Pur District, officials claim Pakistan fired artillery rounds into their province, killing one person and wounding several others.  In Behsud District, a police station was attacked.  Two of the attackers were killed. One cop killed and 25 vehicles destroyed.  In Jalalabad City, a court house was attacked.  Three attackers killed during the two hours long battle.

Nuristan Province: There are reports that masked Pakistani Mujahideen crossed into the province and hanged 12 Afghan Mujahideen, for failure to follow their orders.  However, Afghan Mujahideen say what really happened was that they caught Afghan government spys trying to infiltrate their group.  The people executed were Afghan government spys.

Zabul Province: Four U.S. Army and one U.S. Marine personnel were killed by a U.S. airstrike.  An Afghan interpreter was also killed.  The U.S. unit got pinned down by a Mujahideen ambush and called in the airstrike.  The family of one of the killed soldiers said the U.S. Army woke them up in the middle of the night to tell them the bad news.

Pakistan has accused Afghanistan of being behind the recent attack on Karachi airport.

In a hint that the United States is now a combat zone, a recent Defense Videos & Imagery Distribution System (dvids) report stated that “…the 216th Engineer Company, California National Guard, and the 849th Eng. Company, Minnesota National Guard, redeployed to U.S. soil….”   RE-deployed?  The units specialize in looking for bombs, and have returned from Afghanistan.

Dvids has also been reporting that more and more National Guard units are undergoing “IED warfare” training, despite claims that the U.S. is pulling out of Afghanistan.

In the U.S. state of Oklahoma, a highly decorated Afghan veteran and National Guard combat medic is now charged with murdering his uncle.

Two units of the Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 294th Infantry Regiment (Guam) ended their tour of duty in Afghanistan.

The National Guard’s Operation Support Airlift Command Detachment 6 (Connecticut) deployed to Afghanistan.

Martial Law: Your cell phone is assembled in an Asian country, but the tech to spy on you came from Israel!

10 June 2014 (09:25 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Sha’ban 1435/20 Khordad 1393/13 Geng Wu 4712

“…the tech sector has become the backbone of the Israeli economy.  Throughout the global recession Israel saw growth year on year. Just take a look at the NASDAQ….foreign listings, number one is China, number two is Israel.”-Samuel Burke, CNN tech reporter

A CNN tech program inadvertently revealed that while your cell phone, or other electronic gadget, is assembled in an Asian country, the technology to spy on you comes from Israel!

Israeli companies are the ones who “code” the guts inside your cell phones.   The Israeli government even created a Chief Scientist position to oversee such operations.

For some reason the CEOs of these Israeli tech/augmented reality companies, that’re coding your gadgets, stated that they had no problem paying the Israeli government 26.5% in taxes.   The CNN report didn’t explain why.

In 2012, the Israeli government passed a law (Electronic Waste Law) making it mandatory to recycle electronic gadgets.  The law went into effect in January 2013.  The recycling companies employ mentally and physically handicapped people to do the recycling work.

And a new law went into effect this year, in which household appliances equipped with computer tech must also be recycled.

So basically your ‘new’ cell phone has guts made from recycled Israeli electronics, which are then coded by Israeli companies so that your caring government can spy on you.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 01 – 05 June 2014: Obama regime candidate tied to massive U.S. money laundering? U.S. troops killing their own? Mujahideen growing stronger!

Badakhshan Province: In Jurm District, an Afghan National Army (ANA) patrol was ambushed by Mujahideen.   Government sources say at least four ANA soldiers killed, four wounded.  Mujahideen claim 20 ANA personnel were killed or wounded.

Faryab Province: In Maimana City, a bomb exploded in a market killing three people and wounding 15.

Helmand Province: In Greshk District, Mujahideen attacked the district government compound.  Three Mujahideen killed, two cops killed and one civilian killed.  Three people wounded.   In Sangin District, a police vehicle ran over a landmine, killing four cops and wounding one.

Herat Province:  In Herat City, an Afghan National Army vehicle was ambushed by Mujahideen.  Two ANA soldiers killed, three wounded.  In Zenda Jan District, an Indian working for a NGO was kidnapped.  A suspect has been arrested.  No further details.

Kabul Province: Kabul City,  a magnetic bomb was attached to a police vehicle.  It exploded killing one cop and wounding seven others.  Afghan military officials say hundreds of people have been killed, and even more wounded, in the past five days of battles with Mujahideen across the country.   A new company has been set up, to make computers and other electronic devices.  The company is called Blue Sonic.   The pro-Obama regime presidential candidate, Abdullah Abdullah, is being accused of being directly tied to the scandal involving U.S. taxpayer money and the Kabul Bank.  Last year 21 people were convicted of disappearing billions of dollars out of Afghanistan.  It sounds like a money laundering ponzi scheme.  The majority of the bank’s money had been loaned out to only 19 individuals or companies.  The bank then got a nearly $900-million USD bailout!   Chinese banking officials now deny that they told Afghan banks to stop using the U.S. dollar.

Kandahar Province: In Daman District, two children killed, one wounded, when one of them stepped on a landmine.

Kunar Province: Pakistani officials are now accusing the Afghan government of launching raids into Pakistan, from Kunar. One Pakistani soldier was killed, two wounded. Pakistani officials say they are locked in heated battles with Pakistani Mujahideen, which sometimes cross into Afghanistan.  Afghan officials responded that Pakistan has fired another 120 artillery rounds into Afghanistan.  In Nari District, government officials claim they’ve successfully bribed villagers to kill four Afghan Mujahideen.  12 were captured.   In Watapur District, a U.S.-NATO airstrike killed 18 people.  Seven people wounded.

Nanagarhar Province: In Jalalabad City, a U.S. Army Special Forces Captain, from Pennsylvania, was shot and killed.  U.S. Department of Defense refused to give details, saying the incident is being investigated.   In Behsud District, a suicide bomber killed three Turkish engineers, and wounded two others.   The engineers were working on a military base when the attacker drove in and blew up his motorcycle bomb.  In Khogyani District, government officials report that a Special Forces op killed 17 people.

Nuristan Province:  Provincial officials warning that Mujahideen have established training camps in Kamdish District, and that hundreds of people are now being trained up.  Also, there are reports that Mujahideen executed 11 of their own for failure to follow orders.

Paktika Province: A U.S. Army Private 1st Class, from Missouri, was shot and killed.  The U.S. Department of Defense says his unit was ambushed by Mujahideen.

88 militiamen of the National Guard’s 216th Engineer Mobility Augmentation Company (California) returned from Afghanistan.

86 militiamen of the National Guard’s 849th Mobility Augmentation Company (Minnesota) returned from Afghanistan.

Militiamen of the National Guard’s 70th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment (Missouri) returned from Afghanistan.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 27-31 May 2014: War building with Pakistan! 18-thousand National Guardsmen from just one U.S. state took part in occupying Afghanistan! More Russian ‘copters at U.S. taxpayer expense! More massive election fraud in Obama’s “successful” elections!

Ghazni Province: In Giru District, two vehicles packed with people returning from a wedding ran over landmines.   The resulting explosions killed 12 of them.   Only two people survived.

Herat Province: In Injil District, a convoy of unnamed U.S. diplomats was attacked.  Mujahideen riding motorcycles blasted the convoy with RPGs.  Two U.S. security contractors wounded.

Kabul Province:  President Hamid Karzai blames a Pakistani Mujahideen group  for the recent attack on the Indian consulate in Herat Province.  They denied the accusation.  Russia has delivered three more Mil Mi-17B-5 helicopters to Afghanistan.  They were paid for by the U.S. Obama regime.  The Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan is now accusing government officials of rigging the elections that Obama, NATO and the United Nations called “successful”!   Integrity Watch Afghanistan claims that in the past 12 months $2-billion USD in bribes have been paid out!  The number one recipient of bribes are courts.  Number two are cops, proof police are evil!  The Afghan Interior Ministry reports that hundreds of Mujahideen, government personnel and civilians have been killed in the past four days of battles.

Kandahar Province: In Maruf District, a U.S. Army Private 1st Class from Colorado was killed when the Chinook he was in crashed.  18 U.S./NATO personnel were wounded.  So far the U.S. won’t say why the ‘copter crashed, but are calling it an accident.   In Kandahar City, and explosion killed one cop and wounded three others.  They were trying to defuse a bomb.  Hospital officials say five people were wounded.

Kunar Province:  More claims of Pakistani artillery attacks.  This time 900 rounds impacted over four days, killing one person and wounding  27.   20 homes destroyed.  Afghan officials also say Pakistan is building huge military bases along the border with Kunar Province.  So far no comment from Pakistani officials.  Another report says Pakistani ‘copter gunships crossed into Kunar, killing four civilians and wounding 11.  There are reports that the Pakistani army is chasing hundreds of Pakistani Mujahideen out of Pakistan into Afghanistan.

Jawzjan Province: In Aqcha District, two national government domestic homeland security spies were assassinated by Mujahideen when they blew up their vehicle.   Five other Afghan homeland security operatives were wounded.

Maidan Wardak Province: The man in charge of security for the local Education Minister was kidnapped and executed.

Paktika Province: In Yahya Khel District, a U.S.-NATO airstrike killed at least eight people.

There are at least 550 high level drug smugglers in Afghan prisons.  One smuggler from Dubai, who was already wealthy, admitted the temptation to make even more easy money selling opium under the U.S. occupation was too much for him: “Five type of drug trade is common in Helmand; heroin, raw and processed opium, crystal and morphine but my favorite trade was Heroin. At first, I had opium trade but it didn’t have much profit. When I started heroin trade, I earned five times more. It was easy and without problem. I just called and received the order. I was coming from Dubai that police suddenly arrested me in Kandahar airport. They had recorded my mobile voice [cell phone]. It has been about four years that I am in the prison. I have paid more than 70 thousand as bribe to different officials but it was useless. My family is really poor now.”-Haji Asad, who said his goal as a drug smuggler was to become just like the world politicians he admired

More proof you’re better off fighting the occupation of your country  than living as a refugee: In Turkey, Afghan refugees are protesting their abandonment by the UN High Commission for Refugees, by sewing their own lips shut!  There are growing reports that refugees from many countries, suffering under western occupation or devastation, are being denied housing, medical help and even food by so called UN sponsored refugee organizations.

The U.S. state of Pennsylvania reports that since the illegal U.S. occupation of Afghanistan in 2001, the Bush and Obama regimes have forced 18-thousand state militiamen to take part in the occupation!!!   So much for active duty A-holes claiming the National Guard isn’t up to the job!  Being a 14 year vet of National Guard (California/Idaho & a couple years active duty) myself I say Fuck You U.S. Department of Defense!!!

South Dakota reports they’ve sent more than 1300 Militiamen and MilitiaAirmen to Afghanistan since 2001.

After revealing that the militia of the U.S. state of Oregon will be deployed to Afghanistan until 2015, under the Obama regime’s new occupation plan, it’s just been revealed that the number of Oregon National Guard personnel (41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team) being deployed is actually 1100, not the earlier reported 950!

Militiamen of the National Guard’s 65th Field Artillery Brigade (Utah) returned from Afghanistan.

Militiamen of the National Guard’s 1230th Transportation Unit (Georgia) returned from Afghanistan.

25 Militiamen of the National Guard’s 37th Finance Detachment (New York) deploying to Afghanistan.

More than 120 Militiamen of the National Guard’s 1438th Engineer Company (Missouri) returned from Afghanistan.

More than 119 Militiamen of the National Guard’s 1191st Engineer Company (Ohio) deploying to Afghanistan.

60 Militiamen of the National Guard’s 147th Aviation (Iowa) deploying to Afghanistan.

Despite the Obama regime’s claim that they do not negotiate, Obama negotiated the release of a U.S. Army Sergeant from Idaho.  Obama gave five known Mujahideen held in Gitmo for the release of one U.S. occupier.  And in typical Republican hypocrisy, GOP politicians who’ve been calling for Obama to do “everything” possible to free the Army Sergeant, now condemn Obama for doing “everything” possible to free the Army Sergeant!

World War 3: U.S., Australia & Japan invade Vietnam, again! Preps for war with China!

06 June 2014 (12:24 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Sha’ban 1435/16 Khordad 1393/09 Geng Wu 4712

It’s called operation Pacific Partnership 2014 (aka PP14).  140 U.S. and Australian military personnel along with 190 imperial Japanese personnel are now in Viet Nam.

It’s been about 46 years since U.S. and Australian troops occupied southern Viet Nam, and about 69 years since Imperial Japan occupied the southeast Asian country.

The three western capitalist imperialist countries have docked ships at the port of Da Nang.   Obama officials claim the whole thing is a humanitarian/medical training mission and has nothing to do with the growing violence with China over oil drilling rights in the South China Sea.

The PP14 also involves Cambodia and Philippines, who are also angry with China.

Officials claim Pacific Partnership has provided medical care to approximately 250,000 people, veterinary services for more than 37,000 animals and completed more than 170 engineering projects, all at your expense!

United States will re-occupy Philippines in preps for war with China 

For second time Japan invades California…….prep for war with China

“I’ve made it clear that we’re prepared to continue cooperating with our Afghan partners on two security missions, training and equipping Afghan forces and targeting…….al Qaeda…………And once Afghanistan has sworn in its new president, I’m hopeful we’ll sign a bilateral security agreement that lets us move forward. And with that bilateral security agreement, assuming it is signed, we can plan for a limited military presence in Afghanistan beyond 2014.“-Barack Obama, Bagram airbase, 26 May 2014

The incompetent Obama regime also revealed the top Central Interagency Agency (CIA) boss in Afghanistan, according to the Washington Post.  The newspaper has not published the name and says the Obama regime quickly sent off a new email when they were notified of the “mistake”.

Obama regime lackeys blamed DoD officials for approving the initial email list of names.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 15-18 May 2014: Obama regime lying about TBI! Cops & families killing each other! Obama regime releases Pakistani prisoners! More Russian helicopters paid for by U.S. taxpayers! Obama regime to spend $10-billion after 2014 pullout!

Faryab Province: In Khwajah Gawhar District, a Mujahideen leader was executed by Mujahideen.  Afghan National Army officials say they don’t know the specific reason why, but suspect he was accused of working with the government before he was hanged.

Ghazni Province: In Andar district, at least 11 people killed, four wounded, after U.S.-NATO airstrike.

Herat Province: In Islam Qala town, a motorcycle bomb went off by a Mosque, then, as police gathered to investigate a second bomb exploded.  One cop killed, at least four wounded.

Kabul Province: The Independent Election Commission (IEC) of Afghanistan released the final vote count from the fraudulent elections.  None of the candidates got the required minimum number of votes to be declared a winner.  A second election is on hold until the IEC can get enough voting materials together.  Apparently all that tax money spent by other countries to prepare for the elections wasn’t enough for a surprise second election.

Kandahar Province: In Maruf District, government officials are reporting battles between Afghan and Pakistani border police.  At least one Afghan border cop killed.  In Arghandab District, a policeman killed four of his family members, then killed his police boss as he arrived to investigate.  The renegade cop was then killed by other cops.  Police also shot and killed a man, then claimed he was a suicide bomber.  In Shahwali Kot District, four cops have been sentenced to death for murdering three civilians.  The cops claim they were hired by the victims’ own families to assassinate them.

Kunduz Province: A diplomat from Tajikistan was wounded after unknown gunmen attacked his vehicle.   In Khas Kunar District, one student killed, two wounded by explosion.

Nangarhar Province: In Ghani Khel District, an explosion killed one person and wounded 27 others.

Parwan Province:  U.S. Obama regime personnel released ten Pakistani prisoners from the U.S. Bagram prison.   According to the Justice Project Pakistan the men were held for several years without trial, and are now in Pakistan.

Takhar Province: In Bahauddin District, a suicide bomber using a motorcycle bomb attacked an Afghan National Police convoy.  One person dead, 12 wounded.

Afghan religious leader Ayatullah Mohaghegh Kabul says Iran is paying Afghan refugees, living in Iran, $500 per month plus legal residency if they fight against  Obama regime backed insurgents in Syria.   He claims the bodies of so called Iranian fighters in Syria are actually Afghans.  The Afghan government is investigating.

Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation confirmed they are delivering 30 Mil Mi-17B-5 gunships to Afghanistan by the end of 2014.  It’s part of a new deal signed with the U.S. Department of Defense at the end of 2013.

Russia wants to establish an international anti-drug headquarters in Afghanistan, since Afghanistan is now the number one source of opium ever since the U.S. invaded: “We suggest the creation of an international headquarter or an office for combating the planetary center of drug production in Afghanistan. The goal of the HQ would be to consolidate the currently separate anti-narcotic programs in Afghanistan and to create an effective, internationally-supervised mechanism to eradicated drug production.” Viktor Ivanov,  Russian Federal Drug Control Service

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John Sopko, said the Obama regime plans on spending $10-billion of your tax dollars every year in Afghanistan, after the supposed 2014 pullout!

A 19 years old U.S. Army Specialist from California serving in Jordan, in support of operations in Afghanistan, has died of “non-hostile” causes.  However, it turns out he was indeed shot.  The U.S. Army says they are investigating.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say the U.S. Department of Defense lies about how many personnel have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The study was published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, and says TBI is actually five times higher than what the DoD reports!  The researchers suggest one reason for the under-reporting is to deny veterans health care through the Veterans Affairs.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 07-10 May 2014: New mystery militant group invades Afghanistan! Operation Khaibar to begin! Anti-Iran action ramping up! “Successful” elections declared a failure! Second election permanently on hold?

Farah Province: In Bala Bolok District, more than 100 Mujahideen attacked police checkpoints.  At least eight people killed, dozens wounded.  Police admit the Mujahideen captured armored vehicles and weapons.  Witnesses say the battles were so intense that 12 medevac helicopters were called in.  Mujahideen claim they killed 60 Afghan police.

Ghazni Province: In Gilan District, major battles resulted in at least 63 people killed, 41 wounded.  Government officials claim 21 militants killed came from Pakistan.

Ghor Province: Two Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel killed by two explosions.  Four ANA wounded.

Herat Province: On Shindand Highway, an entire family of eight were killed when they drove over a landmine.    Is western propaganda machine, Radio Free Europe, trying to rally anti-Iranian sentiment by claiming to have interviewed two teenaged Afghan boys who were sexually assaulted by Iranian border police at a Herat border crossing?  At least that’s what dozens of anti-Iran websites are saying.  I went straight to the Radio Free Europe website and didn’t find any such report for the month of May 2014.  I did find similar reports from as far back as 2007/08, so I suspect somebody is just regurgitating old news (that was never proven) to justify anti-Iran sentiment.

Kandahar Province:  Provincial officials say they arrested six potential suicide bombers.  The officials are blaming Pakistan.  In Maiwand District, a NATO/ISAF convoy hit by two suicide bombers.  One bomber used a car, the other a motorcycle.  ISAF claims they suffered no casualties, however, Mujahideen say they witnessed NATO medevacs being called in for at least 15 casualties.

Kunar Province: Afghan Border Police claim that masked militants from Pakistan are roaming around killing people, attacking girl’s schools and even killing Afghan Mujahideen.   The Pakistani militants are also shooting at people who’re trying to retrieve the bodies of those killed.   Afghan Border Police are concerned about this new group of militants, because although they came from the Pakistani side of the border none of them seem to be able to speak local dialects.

Logar Province: In Pul-e-Alam City,  three people killed, two wounded, when they drove over a landmine.

Maidan Wardak Province: One ANA personnel killed by explosion.  In Syed Abad District, Mujahideen say they ambushed a NATO supply convoy.  The attack lasted several hours.  Mujahideen say they destroyed 22 vehicles and killed or wounded 20+ people.

Nangarhar Province:   In Jalalabad City,  a suicide bomber was arrested.  Cops claim he confessed to being directed by Pakistani ISI agents.  Provincial officials say they called in a U.S./NATO drone strike that killed seven people.   Government officials claim all seven were Mujahideen planting landmines.

Nimroz Province:  Afghan Border Patrol claim they caught Iranian Border Patrols taking pictures on the Afghan side.  Gunshots were exchanged but nobody was hurt.  Afghan government officials claim they have “resolved” the issue with Iranian officials.  There was no public explanation for why Iranian border troops were taking pictures.

Mujahideen announced that 12 May will begin their Operation Khaibar.  They will target the foreign occupiers, and anybody perceived as supporting the occupation: “The plans for upcoming spring operations entitled Khaibar have been drawn up by the specialists and courageous military commanders of the Islamic Emirate while also paying heed to the environmental and seasonal conditions of each region of the country and so will be launched in each area according to the laid out plans.”

Remember when Barack Obama, and even that pansy Ban ki-Moon, declared the recent Afghan elections a success?  Well, not only are they a failure with dozens of ballot boxes destroyed, and not one candidate gaining a majority vote, thus forcing a second election, but that second election might be permanently delayed!  The Independent Election Commission says the materials needed to hold a runoff election, between the top candidates in the first election,  were destroyed by recent suicide bombings!

Also, Independent Electoral Complaints Commission of Afghanistan revealed they are currently investigating 900 of 2-thousand reports of election fraud.  The 900 complaints being investigated have been given priority after being declared Category A, the most severe.
