The U.S. led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the Afghan government have agreed to a deal regarding the huge departure tax Afghanistan was levying on departing U.S./ISAF military equipment: “The Cabinet of Ministers for the Government of Afghanistan has approved the Ministry of Finance’s recommendation to waive penalties and fines associated with customs transit documentation.”-ISAF statement

U.S. backed puppet government says no more protests will be allowed, will be met with military force “no matter the cost”!
Live press conference from bogus military coup interim Interior Minister, Mohamed Ibrahim, in Egypt. They say they are launching mass arrests of Muslim Brotherhood political party members, all across Egypt! All Muslim Brotherhood members arrested will be tortured!
Members of Palestinian Hamas being arrested! Puppet military junta official says reports of civilian casualties are exaggerated. Orders news media not to call civilians killed by U.S. backed government forces “martyrs”!
In Parwan Province, U.S. News & World Report stated that three USAF airmen were wounded in a explosion at Bagram airbase. The airman are part of the 755th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron.

An Afghan diplomat has been kidnapped in Pakistan’s Baluchistan Province.
According to U.S. military news sources, such as Marine Corps Times, Afghanistan has become the craigslist hot spot for homosexual sex! That is a direct violation of the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which forbids even heterosexual sex in combat zones! This is just another revelation in the decline and fall of the morality of the United States. Other news sources have reported on homosexual crimes being committed upon Afghan boys by U.S./NATO personnel. Even the Canadian military has sealed their scandalous investigation into it!
The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) confirmed that U.S. tax dollars are going to Afghan contractors known to support Mujahideen. SIGAR blamed the U.S. Army Suspension and Debarment Office, which refused to cancel 43 contracts linked to the Mujahideen. “I am deeply troubled that the U.S. military can pursue, attack, and even kill terrorists and their supporters, but that some in the U.S. government believe we cannot prevent these same people from receiving a government contract.”-John Sopko, SIGAR
Also, SIGAR revealed that $47 million tax dollars went down the toilet in a USAID program called Stability in Key Areas Program. SIGAR says it was a failure because there’s still no stability in Afghanistan. SIGAR says it’s because not one dollar went to those who were supposed to get it: “…Although USAID had disbursed approximately $47 million for the four SIKA contracts as of March 31, 2013, none of the funds had gone to grants that fund community projects….”
So who got the $47 million? DAI of Bethesda, Maryland, and AECOM of Los Angeles, California.
The Christian Science Monitor reporting that a dam being built by the taxpayers of India could mean war with Iran and Turkmenistan.

The dam will allow local Afghan farms to increase production and will generate electricity.
The U.S. Department of Defense admits that 2241 U.S. service members have died since the start of the War on Terror in Afghan.

We designed our phone, video, and text services (Silent Phone and Silent Text) to be completely end-to-end secure with all cryptography done on the clients and our exposure to your data to be nil. The reasons are obvious — the less of your information we have, the better it is for you and for us.
Silent Mail has thus always been something of a quandary for us. Email that uses standard Internet protocols cannot have the same security guarantees that real-time communications has. There are far too many leaks of information and metadata intrinsically in the email protocols themselves. Email as we know it with SMTP, POP3, and IMAP cannot be secure.
And yet, many people wanted it. Silent Mail has similar security guarantees to other secure email systems, and with full disclosure, we thought it would be valuable.
However, we have reconsidered this position. We’ve been thinking about this for some time, whether it was a good idea at all. Today, another secure email provider, Lavabit, shut down their system lest they “be complicit in crimes against the American people.” We see the writing the wall, and we have decided that it is best for us to shut down Silent Mail now. We have not received subpoenas, warrants, security letters, or anything else by any government, and this is why we are acting now.
We’ve been debating this for weeks, and had changes planned starting next Monday. We’d considered phasing the service out, continuing service for existing customers, and a variety of other things up until today. It is always better to be safe than sorry, and with your safety we decided that the worst decision is always no decision.
Silent Phone and Silent Text, along with their cousin Silent Eyes are end-to-end secure. We don’t have the encrypted data and we don’t collect metadata about your conversations. They’re continuing as they have been. We are still working on innovative ways to do truly secure communications. Silent Mail was a good idea at the time, and that time is past.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope you understand that if we dithered, it could be more inconvenient.

The following was posted by the operator of a secure email service that was bullied by the U.S. government:
My Fellow Users,
I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations. I wish that I could legally share with you the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I feel you deserve to know what’s going on–the first amendment is supposed to guarantee me the freedom to speak out in situations like this. Unfortunately, Congress has passed laws that say otherwise. As things currently stand, I cannot share my experiences over the last six weeks, even though I have twice made the appropriate requests.
What’s going to happen now? We’ve already started preparing the paperwork needed to continue to fight for the Constitution in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. A favorable decision would allow me resurrect Lavabit as an American company.
This experience has taught me one very important lesson: without congressional action or a strong judicial precedent, I would _strongly_ recommend against anyone trusting their private data to a company with physical ties to the United States.
Sincerely,
Ladar Levison

In New Zealand, the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) is denying reports that it used the U.S. NSA data mining operations (domestic spying) to spy on a reporter working for a U.S. news company in Afghanistan. The reporter says the NZDF was collecting his phone contacts. The reporter could have been targeted by the NZDF because he revealed the criminal treatment that Qiwi forces are dealing to prisoners in Afghanistan. New Zealand is part of the secretive Five Eyes alliance. The Five Eyes alliance is made up of United States, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and United Kingdom. (obviously it’s a British empire thing)

We demand a raise in our salaries and the annual Ramadan bonuses we used to receive during the time of President Ali Abdullah Saleh.”-Mohammed Yahia Nasser
The protesting soldiers said if their demands were not met they would return fully armed.
The BBC reports that the Yemeni government has placed armored vehicles around foreign missions, government offices and the airport.

The U.S. Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) released more proof the U.S. is behind corruption in Afghanistan. This time it involves the U.S. backed court system. John Sopko discovered there is almost no oversight of tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars used to fund the Justice Training Transition Program. Also, Sopko discovered more evidence that the U.S. is behind the skyrocketing illegal drug trade. He found that the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs is not pushing for the creation of Afghan laws to fight corruption and illegal drugs! ‘Training’ of the U.S. created Afghan justice system has been handled by U.S. and European contractors, who do little yet get paid tens of millions of dollars. The latest contractor, International Development Law Organization, denies SIGAR’s accusations.
By the way, the latest SIGAR report also says that in the past three months alone, $2 billion in U.S. tax dollars have been wasted!

“The Department urges U.S. citizens…..currently living in Yemen to depart immediately……..Evacuation options from Yemen are extremely limited……Travelers should not expect to be evacuated to the United States.”-U.S. Department of State, 06 August 2013
The Obama administration is now telling every U.S. citizen living in Yemen that they need to leave, now!
The evil British empire’s United Kingdom has issued a similar order for its citizens in Yemen.
Just afterwards a report from Yemen saying that a military helicopter was shot down. Eight people were killed. It was a Yemeni military ‘copter that was providing air cover for engineers working to repair and oil pipeline that had been blown up in Ma’rib Province.
Also in Ma’rib, four people were killed when U.S. operated drones launched at least five missiles at a single vehicle.
