Proof the A-10 Thunderbolt was to remain a USAF mainstay until 2040: Taxpayers spent more than $2-billion on upgrades!

In February 2014, USAF officials suddenly announced they wanted to kill off the venerable A-10 Thunderbolt 2 (unofficially called Warthog).  Since then many politicians, veterans, current personnel of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, and even state National Guard units (who operate the majority of A-10s) have criticized the decision as foolhardy to say the least.

U.S. Air Force weenie head bean counters claim it will save taxpayers money to get rid of the cost effective aircraft, but wait, isn’t that what they said about keeping the Tank Buster when they pushed for more than $1.1-billion USD of upgrades for the A-10, back in 2007?

In June 2007, Boeing was awarded a contract to build 233 new wings for the American Stuka (unAmerican Boeing then outsourced some of the work to Korean companies).  According to USAF officials back then, the upgrade would allow the A-10 to fly on until 2040, and save taxpayers about $1.3-billion in maintenance costs.

It took until February 2012 for Boeing to actually begin replacing the wings.  In September 2013, the USAF paid for another 56 wings, for a grand total of $1.2-billion (some news sources say it was $2-billion).  So why at the beginning of 2014 did the USAF decide to get rid of the A-10 after spending $1.2 to 2-billion to keep it airworthy until 2040?

But wait there’s more!  In September 2009, Boeing was paid another $4.2-million under the Thunderbolt Life-cycle Program Support (TLPS) contracts.  There are other upgrade programs being handled by Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics, and other contractors.

All these upgrade programs are supposed to be ongoing at least until 2018.

World War 3: Vladimir Putin to make “substantial” statement within days!

15 May 2014 (03:30 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Rajab 1435/25 Ordibehesht 1393/17 Ji-Si 4712

According to Chinese news media, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a “substantial” statement regarding a new Sino-Russia pact.

Putin will visit China for the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia on 20-21 May.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 04-06 May 2014: Cops shoot at starving landslide victims!

Badakhshan Province: In Argo District, starving survivors of the massive landslide, that killed more than 2-thousand people, are being deprived of food aid by government officials! Dirty cops started shooting as hundreds of hungry survivors rushed food trucks. Mujahideen heard the shooting, rushed to the scene and started shooting at the cops. As a result food aid is being halted by the government!

Farah Province: In Posht-e-Rud District, in Chardara village battles between Mujahideen and government forces left at least five people dead, eight wounded.

Faryab Province: In Balcharagh  District,  Mujahideen assassinated a government intelligence official (NDS).  His body was found on a local highway.  In Garzewan District, Mujahideen killed six cops and two pro-government tribal elders.  One cop was wounded.  Local officials say the Mujahideen also captured weapons and ammo.

Ghazni Province: In Gilan District, fierce battles between Mujahideen and government forces resulted in at least 50 people killed, 36 wounded.

Helmand Province:  In Sangin District, Mujahideen shot a U.S./NATO helicopter forcing it to make an emergency landing.  Witnesses say it was repaired and flew back to its base, however, U.S./NATO officials have not commented.

Herat Province:  In Obe district, a magnetic bomb stuck on a police vehicle exploded, killing three cops and wounding two.

Kabul Province: At the Kabul airport another smuggler was captured.   This time it was gold that was being smuggled out, almost four pounds worth.

Kandahar Province:  Government officials claim 10 Mujahideen were killed by their own bomb.

Kunduz Province: A magnetic mine placed on a Afghan National Army vehicle exploded, killing one person and wounding three others.

Logar Province: In Pul-e-Alam City, government officials claim three people were blown up by their own bomb. At least two of those killed were Pakistani.

Nimroz Province: In Delaram District, cops claim five suicide bombers attacked a government compound.  Four were shot and killed, but a fifth exploded killing himself and one cop.  One cop wounded.  However, Mujahideen say only four suicide bombers were sent, so the cops must have shot and killed an innocent bystander!

Takhar Province: In Cha Aab District, battles between Mujahideen and government forces resulted in at least three people killed, 13 wounded.

Pakistan is claiming that Afghan National Army or Border Police shot and killed a Pakistani soldier in Pakistan.  Despite this, Pakistan is allowing aircraft carrying military equipment for the Afghan military to fly through Pakistani airspace.  The flights are known as Commercial Multi-Model Operation.

The Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries reports a 33% increase in exports during the Gregorian year 2013.  Mainly because the European Union opened its doors to Afghan produce!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 28-30 April 2014: U.S. cops kill National Guardsmen? Obama regime shuts down National Guard unit after they left for Afghanistan? Imam has ears & nose chopped off! Secret U.S. prisons identified! Mujahideen kill more U.S. troops! More claims of election fraud!

Baghlan Province: Local police arrested a family after they chopped off the nose and ears of a their Imam! Police say it happened at a wedding ceremony, where for some reason the family accused the Imam of raping their 12 years old daughter.  The Imam is now in the hospital (Afghan news media has published gruesome pics of the Imam minus nose and ears).  Hey, all you Christians in the U.S. and Europe, maybe you should do the same thing to all those hundreds of child molesters posing as Christian priests!

Faryab Province: In Kohistan District, two Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance employees were assassinated.

Helmand Province:  On Camp Bastion, an investigation launched by outgoing President Hamid Karzai has identified three secret British empire Red Coat operated prisons!  The Afghan investigators say dozens of Afghans are being held in each prison, with no documentation for why they are there or for how long they’ve been there!

Kabul Province:  Independent Electoral Complaints Commission admitted that 71 new complaints of election fraud have been added to the thousands already received. They also announced they’ve invalidated votes from 524 polling stations!  Remember Obama and the UN declared the election a “success” even before votes were counted!   Apparently the British empire thinks Afghan reconstruction is Cricket!  An Australian has been put in charge of the Afghan National Cricket Academy: “I’ve even heard the Taliban support cricket. So from that point of view hopefully everything is fine.”-Peter Anderson

Kandahar Province:  On Kandahar airbase, an investigation launched by outgoing President Hamid Karzai has identified three secret U.S. yankee imperialist operated prisons! The Afghan investigators say dozens of Afghans are being held in each prison, with no documentation for why they are there or for how long they’ve been there!

Kapisa Province: In Nejrab District, a U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division Sergeant was shot and killed when Mujahideen ambushed his patrol.  Provincial government officials claim six Mujahideen were killed.

Logar Province: In Baraki Barak District, a U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division PFC was shot and killed when Mujahideen attacked his unit. Afghan National Army officials report they were attacked by Mujahideen as well, however, they claim they did not suffer any casualties.

Nangarhar Province:  The American University of Afghanistan opened for business.

Paktia Province: In Dand-e-Patan District,  several battles resulted in  Afghan National Police and Border Police being killed or wounded.  At least two killed, five wounded. Government officials said Mujahideen were killed, but gave no number.  Afghan National Army (ANA) officials claim they’ve killed dozens of insurgents from Pakistan.  The ANA had to call in air strikes to save their asses from the lesser equipped Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen.

Paktika Province: In Zeruk District, the Afghan National Directorate of Security and Afghan National Army claims they’ve killed between 49 and 60 foreign insurgents, after 300 foreign insurgents attacked a Afghan National Army base.  Five Afghan government personnel were killed, one captured by insurgents, six wounded.

Samangan Province: In Dara-e-Suf Bala District, a major coal mine exploded, killing 20 people.  25 people are trapped inside the mine!

The Washington Post has revealed that the official government torturer of Afghanistan has been given safe haven in the U.S. by the Bush/Obama regime!  Investigative journalists have discovered that Haji Gulalai now lives in sunny California!  After years working under the Bush regime, Gulalai suddenly ‘disappeared’ in 2009 when Obama became president.

In Maine, U.S.A., it’s been revealed that after the Army National Guard’s 133rd Engineer Battalion deployed to Afghanistan in August, their armory was quietly shutdown!  It was also revealed that the Gardiner City officials knew in advance that the armory would be closed once the Engineers were deployed!  When the Engineers return from Afghanistan they will be turned into a smaller less combat effective unit, that will have to travel to Pennsylvania for training!

In Vermont, U.S.A., someone shot and killed a veteran CWO-2 Army National Guardsmen.  The CWO-2 was wounded in Afghanistan in 2010, however, he got killed in his home state this past weekend after being shot in the head, torso and neck! NAZI cops from two jurisdictions refuse to publicize details, especially who shot the veteran!  Vermont National Guard officials would only imply that they suspect two people assassinated the 25 years of service veteran! The veteran had PTSD connected to his head wound suffered while in Afghanistan, and 11 combat deployments over seven years!!!

About 150 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 1413th Engineer    Company (Indiana, U.S.A.) deploying to Afghanistan.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 25-27 April 2014: Investigations reveal more U.S. & U.K. operated secret prisons! Red Coats killed conducting combat ops that they shouldn’t have been conducting! UN refuses to help Afghan refugees! Internationally written mining law in jeopardy!

Ghazni Province:  In Ghazni City, a suicide bomber blew himself up next to a police van.  The bomber, two cops and four civilians were killed.

Helmand Province: An investigation by Afghan Military Police  has discovered a U.S./U.K. run prison.  U.S. officials are refusing comment.  The Afghan investigation was launched by outgoing President Hamid Karzai.

Kabul Province: Another person has been arrested trying to smuggle out heroin through the Kabul airport.  This time two kilograms were bound for India.

Kandahar Province: In Takht-e Pol District,  at least five British special ops Red Coats were killed after Mujahideen blasted their Lynx helicopter out of the sky.  The Red Coats say the ‘copter crashed by “accident”, but numerous villagers talking to local news media say they watched the Mujahideen shoot it down.  Back at the beginning of April the United Kingdom declared an end to their combat ops in Afghanistan.  However, the Red Coats just killed were conducting combat ops against Mujahideen after a U.S./U.K.-NATO drone was shot down in neighboring Kunar Province.   An investigation by Afghan Military Police has discovered a U.S./U.K. run prison (see above). U.S. officials are refusing comment. The Afghan investigation was launched by outgoing President Hamid Karzai.  It’s starting to look like the delayed U.S. handover of Bagram prison to Afghan officials was a delaying tactic to allow the U.S. and U.K. to move prisoners to new secret prisons.

Kunar Province:  Afghan government officials say a U.S. drone they called in for an airstrike has crashed.  U.S. officials refuse comment.  Mujahideen say they shot it down (see above).  Also, in Dangam District, officials say Pakistan fired 18 artillery rounds into the district.  No casualties reported, but villagers report property damage.

Zabul Province: In Qalat City, a motorcycle bomb exploded, killing one civilian and one soldier.  Six civilians wounded, five soldiers wounded.

The so called “successful” Afghan elections (declared so by Obama and the UN) is going to a second round of voting.  Election officials say a candidate must have a majority of votes to win, and none do at this point.  It’s interesting to note that the two top vote getters are pro-Obama Abdullah Abdullah, and former World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai.  Totally rigged!

The Afghan Parliament is refusing to pass a foreign written mining law, that would protect foreign mining companies operating in Afghanistan.  The law was part of an agreement made at the Tokyo Conference.  The passage of the law was required for continued foreign aid, in other words your tax funded foreign aid to Afghanistan is nothing more than a bribe.

For more proof that international efforts in Afghanistan is not about helping people, growing numbers of Afghan refugees are now protesting the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees for refusing to help them.   In Turkey, Afghan refugees are in their 11th day of protest in front of the UNHCR office.  They claim that the UN is intentionally sitting on refugee applications: “There’s no food, no water and all people sleeping together on the street, that’s not the way it should be!”-Mahboba from Kabul, getting no help from the UN

“We left Afghanistan because of war and had no choice. I just packed, took my children and left. I did not even got the chance to say bye to my mum and brothers, tell you the truth I did not feel anything, because my daughter was injured and I was just thinking of getting my kids out of there!”-Zarina, made into a refugee by the U.S. invasion, and getting no help from the UN

Once again, your taxes at work!

False Flag MH370 update: Obama first to say where plane went, last to offer condolences!

27 April 2014 (01:47 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Jumada t-Tania 1435/07 Ordibehesht 1393/28 Wu-Chen 4712

When Malaysian flight MH370 (CZ748) disappeared two months ago, from almost day one the Obama regime insisted the Boeing ended up in the Indian Ocean.  After several weeks all nations involved in the unprecedented search finally focused where the Obama regime was pointing.

Now two months later, Barack Obama, being the first U.S. President to visit Malaysia in almost 50 years, is the last government official to offer Malaysians condolences.

I’ve pointed out that it was strange that the U.S. insisted they knew where the plane went, without offering evidence.  But in an interview with malaysian news media Obama basically admitted the U.S. has always known, and will continue spending U.S. taxes on the false flag search: “The United States was one of the first countries to join in the search for the missing plane.  U.S. Navy ships, aircraft and personnel remain on the scene, assisting in the search.  Our FBI is working closely with Malaysia on the investigation into what caused the aircraft to disappear.  And we’ll continue to offer our support and assistance as the search and investigation continue.”

It’s also strange that ‘leaders’ like Obama find the false flag search for MH370/CZ748 to be a convenient exercise to “….continue improving aviation security. One thing is already clear, however, is that large international efforts like this search operation benefit from existing partnerships among nations.”

 

World War 3, East Asian Front: United States will re-occupy Philippines in preps for war with China!

27 April 2014 (00:54 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Jumada t-Tania 1435/07 Ordibehesht 1393/28 Wu-Chen 4712

The Associated Press reports they have seen a confidential Filipino government document that shows the Obama regime has agreed to a ten year re-occupation pact with the Philippines.

Japanese news media reporting that three Filipino bases will be used by the U.S., including the former U.S. military base at Subic Bay.  The other two bases are Fort Magsaysay and the Ulugan Bay Naval station on the island of Palawan.

These bases are strategically located next to the disputed and oil rich South China Sea.  Japanese military analyst say the re-occupation of Philippines by the U.S. is directly related to the ongoing disputes between China and other East Asian countries over the right of access to the massive South China Sea petroleum fields.

The Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement will be signed by U.S. and Filipino officials in Manila on Monday, shortly before the arrival of regime-ist Obama.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 21-24 April 2014: DynCorp sucks up 70% of U.S. taxes! Suicide bomber survives deadly attack! Three U.S. doctors assassinated by police! Election results delayed due to fraud! National Guard troops killing themselves!

Faryab Province:  In Pashtun Kot District, a massive Israeli style invasion of Zaghan, Qala Niyaz Bek and Aaq Dara villages (by government forces) resulted in 16 civilians killed (including teachers and students), and 40 homes burned down!

Helmand Province: In Musa Kala District,  villagers say one of their neighbors was killed by a U.S./NATO airstrike.

Kabul Province:  In Kabul City, a Afghan Public Protection Force cop assassinated three U.S. doctors working at the Cure International Hospital.  He also wounded a nurse.  The cop was wounded and arrested.  At the Kabul airport a Afghan was arrested for trying to smuggle out 854 grams of heroin.

Kunar Province: In Nari District, police say they called in a U.S. drone strike, killing both Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen.

Logar Province: In Mohammad Agha District, a Mujahideen commander, who was also a member of the Afghan High Peace Council, was assassinated.   His body guards were wounded.  In Pul-e-Alam City, Mujahideen say they brought down an attack helicopter, which landed in the city and was promptly cordoned off.   Also, reports that U.S.-NATO troops conducted an Israeli style raid on a city Mosque, killing the Imam who was leading prayers.  In two other Israeli style home invasions two people were kidnaped and one killed.

Nangarhar Province: In Daronta area, somebody planted a magnetic bomb on the vehicle of a lawyer.  It exploded, killing one person and wounding seven others.

Nuristan Province: In Want District, locals say a woman was killed after stepping on a landmine planted by government forces.

Parwan Province: In Charikar City, 17 people were wounded by an explosion, police refused to give more details.

Zabul Province: In Qalat City, Mujahideen say a suicide bomber actually survived his attack on a Afghan National Army and National Directorate of Security convoy.  However, dozens of government personnel were killed or wounded.  Remote detonated bombs were also used in the attack.

Mujahideen reporting that almost 100 people across Afghanistan have joined in their fight against the U.S. occupation, in the past week.   At least 15 were former government troops/cops.

The Independent Election Commission has decided to delay the partial vote count of the “successful” election results, due to massive fraud!  Obama and the United Nations called the elections a success before the votes were even counted!  Election officials still claim that the pro-Obama candidate Abdullah Abdullah is the winner.

NATO has abandoned 335 bases in Afghanistan.

Did you know in 2012 the United States awarded an Afghan the Peace through Commerce award, for creating the first ever insurance company in Afghanistan?   What a bunch-o-crap!  That’s your U.S. tax dollars at work.

To add to that, U.S. Special Investigator for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John Sopko, discovered that of all the U.S. contractors operating in Afghanistan, DynCorp has received the lion’s share of U.S. taxes.  Shopko says the controversial DynCorp has been paid nearly 70% of the $4-billion in U.S. taxes sent to Afghanistan by the U.S. Department of (failed)State!

An Iowa National Guard militiaman, wounded in Afghanistan in 2011, killed himself recently.  His mother told The Des Moines Register he was a medic and was disturbed by the high number of wounded children in Afghanistan, saying some of the attacks on children looked intentional.

80 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s Battery B, 1st Battalion, 158th Field Artillery, 45th Fires Brigade (Oklahoma) deploying to Afghanistan.

A U.S. Army soldier lost his house in Florida, after deploying to Afghanistan.  The soldier is now based in Hawaii, but when he deployed to Afghanistan he asked a ‘friend’ to watch his house in Florida.  The home is occupied by a couple who were homeless (and former convicted drug dealers).  They  claim the soldier’s so called friend gave verbal permission to move in, in exchange for remodeling work on the house.  As a result the local Sheriff says he can’t do anything about the situation.  “I want the people out. They’re criminals living in my house!”-Michael Sharkey, U.S. Army Specialist

World War 3, East European Front: Obama reneges on Ukraine ceasefire, imposes new sanctions on Russia!

26 April 2014 (20:28 UTC-07 Tango 25 April 2014)/25 Jumada t-Tania 1435/06 Ordibehesht 1393/27 Wu-Chen 4712

The Nobel Peace Prize winner, Obama, is going along with the G7 in imposing new economic sanctions against Russia, despite a recent ceasefire deal.

That deal required the Obama regime puppets in Ukraine to back off of military repression of ethnic Russians.  Almost right away the puppet regime began killing unarmed ethnic Russians, and has ramped up their “anti-terror operations” against the provinces where the majority of residents are Russians.

A SkyNews British empire journalist, reporting live from Ukraine, actually said he found the latest claims by the Obama regime government in Kiev to be “hard to believe”, from what he saw with his own eyes.

Not surprisingly, Obama and the G7 said it was Russia that was not abiding by the recent ceasefire deal.   The SkyNews live reporter said it looks like Western leaders are pushing for things get worse, for all out war.

World War 3, West Asian Front: Obama regime Big Fail making peace between Israel & Palestine! New united Palestinian government!

25 April 2014 (12:43 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Jumada t-Tania 1435/05 Ordibehesht 1393/26 Wu-Chen 4712

“The EU has consistently called for intra-Palestinian reconciliation…”-Michael Mann, European Union spokesman

Israeli Nut-job Yahoo has called emergency cabinet meetings to discuss military action against the new United Palestinian government, after Fatah (aka Palestinian Authority) announced a new alliance with rival Hamas!

Fatah is the dominant political party in the Israeli concentration camp known as West Bank.  Fatah is recognized by Israel and United States.  Hamas is dominant political group in the Israeli concentration camp known as Gaza Strip.  Hamas is not recognized by Israel or United States.

The new Palestinian unity government is scheduling elections so Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza Strip can elect new unity leaders.

The rattled U.S. Congress has responded by canceling the pathetic amount of U.S. money given to Fatah.  However, the U.S. Congress is not canceling the billions of U.S. taxes going to Israel, even though Israel is the instigator of all things evil in that region.

If you watched regime-ist Obama’s press conference, where he responded to the news of the new united Palestinian government, it was obvious he and his ‘experts’ didn’t see this coming.  He looked like a dog with its tail between its legs.  After all, Obama is dealing with his war mongering against the military giant known as Russia, now he has to deal with the threat of his failed Israeli-Palestinian peace talks coming back on him.
