World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: Karzai says Obama wants feudalism! More tax money down the hole! India reveals Great Game plans!

30 June 2013/21 Sha’ban 1434/09 Tir 1391/23 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Nangarhar Province, the Afghan National Army reports major battles with Mujahideen.   The ANA claims they killed 50 Mujahideen and wounded 70 others.

In Zabul Province, Sewri District, three people killed, two wounded, when their civilian vehicle drove over a landmine.

29 June 2013/20 Sha’ban 1434/08 Tir 1391/22 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Paktia Province, local government sources report a NATO/ISAF/ANA airborne assault on Mujahideen positions.  Four Mujahideen killed.

In Takhar Province, local government sources say a peaceful protest organized by a local Mujahideen Council was fired on by supporters of centralized government and local police forces.  Reports say there is now full on battles taking place between supporters of centralized government and Mujahideen.

President Hamid Karzai said the reason why the U.S. is now negotiating with Mujahideen is because they want to keep certain areas of Afghanistan in states of feudalism.  Karzai said the U.S. is willing to give Mujahideen total control of certain areas of Afghanistan.   Karzai also claims that the Obama administration is pushing him to sign a new military deal (Bilateral Security Agreement).  He says President Barack Obama gave him three months.   Apparently Obama wants the deal signed before the new President of Afghanistan is elected!

The External Affairs Minister of India, Salman Khurshid, accidentally revealed major war plans involving the domination of the energy resources of Central Asia.  He said the Great Game plan is to control the North-South corridor of Central Asia through domination of Iran and Afghanistan: “Of course, it does make Iran very critical…..it makes Afghanistan very critical……Afghanistan will then become a bridge for us to Central Asia and Iran as well.”

On the same day that United Kingdom’s Prime Minister David Cameron told afghans “there will be no British combat troops after the end of 2014”, an unnamed Ministry of Defence source says the U.K. has plans to keep troops incountry until 2020!  One source gave this statement: “We will leave our combat role next year, but we will still be needed for three to five years after that.”

United Kingdom’s top military man in Afghanistan, Brigadier General Nick Carter, says the U.S. should’ve started negotiations with Mujahideen (Taliban) when the U.S. first invaded in 2001: “Back in 2002, the Taliban were on the run. I think that at that stage, if we had been very prescient, we might have spotted that a final political solution to what started in 2001, from our perspective, would have involved getting all Afghans to sit at the table and talk about their future.”

The U.K. news media reporting that a memorial wall to Afghan veterans will be built using fines paid by Too Big to Jail banks caught in the LIBOR scandal.

28 June 2013/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Kandahar Province, Panjwai District, local government sources say four Mujahideen were killed as they tried to ambush an ANA convoy.

In Farah Province, Bala Bolok District, local government sources said a suicide bomber tried to attack a military convoy.  Two civilians killed, six wounded.  However, Mujahideen said the attack was successful and two armored vehicles were destroyed and six NATO/ISAF personnel killed.

In Parwan Province, the U.S. Army is investigating the non-combat death of a Sergeant.  He was a construction engineer and was killed on Bagram air base.

Afghan Senator Belquis Roshan says the U.S. is supporting Mujahideen (Taliban) and peace is not what the U.S. wants: “In the presence of foreign troops, the people of Afghanistan would never have peace and independence. Now that the U.S. is trying to help the Taliban participate in the coming election, there would be no prosperity for our people too.”

The United States government is spending hundreds of millions of their taxpayer dollars (maybe it’s drug money, which would explain the massive increase in drug production?) on aircraft for the Afghan air force.  However, a Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) report said all that money, and all those aircraft will be wasted because Afghanistan does not have the support network to keep those aircraft flying.   This only means that the U.S. government will spend more money it supposedly doesn’t have trying to build up Afghanistan’s aircraft maintenance and support crews.

In a sure sign that the U.S. has only made Afghanistan a hell hole, German news media reporting that 100 Afghan diplomats have defected.   Apparently their tours of duty in Germany were over, but they did not want to return to Afghanistan.

Business/Economics, U.S.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 19-20 April 2013. What automotive sector recovery? NSA domestic spying company hit by spending cuts!

In New Jersey, North Bergen recycling went bankrupt.  Company officials pled guilty to illegal dumping and got hit with massive fines.

AM General laid off at least 350 people in Indiana!  Company officials blame the bad global economy on crashing Hummer/Humvee orders!  Yet, at the same time they claim there is a big demand for their military type vehicle, it’s just that the expected orders haven’t come in.

In Kentucky, automotive parts supplier, GECOM, laid off 85 employees.  Company officials blamed it on “…current and projected business needs…”, adding that for the foreseeable future “…only a handful of employees…” will be kept working.

In Tennessee, Volkswagen laying off 500 people!  Last year VW thought they were going to add 800 jobs to their U.S. Passat factory, but sales crashed!  VW officials say sales are only good in major metro areas, in the rest of the country sales are down.  And in a bit-o-irony, the Department of of Labor and Workforce is restructuring its Career Centers, and as many as 125 people could lose their jobs!

At least 180 people lost their jobs with L3 Communication Systems-West in Utah!  Company officials blamed Department of Defense spending cuts.  Maybe this is a good thing, as L3 is “…a leading provider of networked communication solutions for high-performance intelligence collection, imagery processing and satellite communications for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other government agencies. We provide high-data rate, wideband, secure, real-time communication systems for surveillance and reconnaissance.”  In other words they’re being paid to spy on you!  (for some reason hi-tech spying operations are setting up shop in the heart of Mormon-land, soon the World’s largest personal information collection center will be operational. It’s located in the Utah Army National Guard’s Camp Williams)

Publicly funded (meaning donations) KCET TV, in California, laid off 22 employees and eliminated five vacant positions.  It’s the result of a merger with publicly funded (donations) Link Media.  In June 2012 KCET posted a loss of $7.4 million USD.

More bad news for Disney owned Lucasfilm.  20 more people laid off in what is supposedly the last round of layoffs since the Disney takeover.

In Maine, SPX Communications Technologies ended antenna operations, laying off 57 employees.

The Puma athletic store in Pennsylvania closed down.

In Oregon, The Elephant’s Trunk toy store closed at the Salem Center Mall.

267 people out-o-work in Ohio, after Turf Products closed its Streetsboro operations!  Another 23 people laid off in the company’s distribution center.   Apparently the company made too many products (like lawnmowers) at other factories, and is calling a production halt.  ESCO Technologies closing its Aclara plant in Solon.  The company saw a 85% drop in profits for its 2nd quarter this year.  No word on how many people will be unemployed.

In Little Rock, Arkansas, Faux Pas closed after 20 years in business.  The owners of the fashion store decided it was time to change careers.

Wonderland Books shut down in Connecticut. The owners blamed competition from big name stores and the internet.

In Mississippi, Bayside Furniture & Appliances shut down.  The longtime family owners (since 1970) blamed the bad economy.

After 64 years Smith’s Gardentown Farms closed in Wichita, Texas.   The family owners blame the long drought, and hope to re-open when the rains return: “The drought has everyone worried. I think there were some misunderstandings about the [city’s] watering rules, but the drought is a reality. Much of our business depends on selling bedding plants in the spring to help get us through the summer and into the fall. Business has just been way off because people are guarded about the future, and rightfully so.”-Steve Smith

In New Mexico, the Albuquerque Public Schools District has lost $100 million since 2010, and is now looking at closing down several schools.  The district has already laid off 1000 employees since 2010!  One plan is to get rid of Middle schools (Junior Highs).  The irony is that the district just built two new schools!

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

World War 3: United Nations increases military spending for 2014, and you’re paying for it!

29 June 2013 (02:52 UTC-07 Tango)/20 Sha’ban 1434/08 Tir 1391/22 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The member countries of the United Nations (which includes the United States) have agreed to spend $7.5 billion of their taxpayers’ money on military ‘peacekeeping’ operations for 2014.

That’s an increase of $200 million USD from the 2013 budget, mainly because of military operations in Africa and Syria.

The taxpayers of the U.S. are forced to provide 28% of the funding, while Japanese taxpayers provide 11% (in second place after the U.S.).

Internet Martial Law: United States expanding cyber attack operations, will include old school military strikes! UnAmerican Corporate America demands it!

28 June 2013 (12:54 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

U.S. Army General Martin Dempsey told the Washington DC think tank, Brookings Institution, that the Army will spend $23 billion U.S. tax dollars training 4000 new cyber attack personnel over the next four years.

The new U.S. cyber attack program will also “….secure 4G wireless network that will get iPads, iPhones and Android devices online by mid-2014.”

Dempsey claims that future cyber attacks against the U.S. “…could be as destructive as the terrorist attack of 9/11.”  In that case the U.S. will respond not just with cyber units but with old school military attacks.

Dempsey claims that cyber attacks against the U.S. have increased by 17 fold in the past two years.  He also says at least 20 countries have cyber attack units.

Dempsey partly blames the taxpayer funded build up of U.S. cyber attack units  on U.S. businesses who have not protected themselves “….adequately in cybersecurity.” 

A recent survey by Cyber-Ark Software polled 900 corporate executives about cyber security.  51% believed they were under cyber attack right now, 80% say cyber attacks are more damaging than an old school military attack!

“….DDoS [distributed denial of service] attacks have increased 600% over the last year!”-James Barnett, Venable law firm

Basically, unAmerican Corporate America is forcing the individual taxpayers to pay for a massive corporate cyber defense system run by the U.S. Army’s Cyber Command!

Martial Law Canada: Cops loot homes of flood victims, takes all their guns!

28 June 2013 (11:08 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“We have seized a large quantity of firearms simply because they were left by residents……We just want to make sure that all of those things are in a spot that we control, simply because of what they are….”-Brian Topham, RCMP

“When people find out about this there’s going to be untold hell to pay!”-Brenda Lackey, High River resident

“This is the reason the U.S. has the right to bear arms!”-Charles Timpano, High River resident

Royal Canadian Mounted Police evacuated the town of High River, during recent floods, then they looted the homes for all personally owned guns!  The Mounties are keeping 13000 residents away from their homes despite the fact that flood water has dissipated (going on eight days now).

The Canadian cops said the residents can have their guns back when they prove they own the gun!  The crony cops also admitted they “forcibly” entered many homes to get the guns, which is a violation of Canadian Private Property rights!

Internet Martial Law: U.S. Army censors news sources!

28 June 2013 (09:52 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM, part of Cyber Command) admits that it censors print news sources before soldiers are allowed to read it.  They call it “network hygiene”.

NETCOM officials say they don’t target specific internet newspapers, but use a program that “relies on automated filters”.   For example, articles about the ongoing NSA scandal are blocked out.

Internet Martial Law: U.S. schools publishing children’s personal school data in the Cloud!

28 June 2013 (09:35 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“This information…I have no idea what it is, I have no idea who’s using it, I have no idea for what purpose!”-Karen Sprowal, concerned parent in New York city.

Some school districts across the United States are using computer programs that allows them to collate and make available on the internet all your child’s personal data.

Orwellian education officials say it’s all about “personalizing” your child’s learning.  However, the info being made available online is not just grades and the type of classes, but your financial info and child’s medical records, as well as any behavior issues.

Previous news media reports said schools would not share your kid’s data with third parties, but that has been proven false.  There is no law that prevents school districts from giving (selling?) third parties the personal data of students, and many do so.

World War 3, West Asian Front-Syria: UN demands combat cease on Golan Heights, Israel says it’s ready to invade!

28 June 2013 (23:55 UTC-07 Tango 27 June 2013)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“What has changed here is that today we are carrying out an exercise in the Golan Heights which is not theoretical. The reality around us is changing and is volatile, and we must be ready accordingly.  I want the other side to know that when needed, we can move to any side, and I do not care that the other side hears this! I hope that we are not tested and that we meet any challenge.”-Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel

The United Nations has renewed Disengagement Observer Force (DOF) operations in the Golan Heights.   The UN is also demanding that all combat taking place in the Golan cease.  Japan, Croatia and Austria have already withdrawn their UNDOF troops.  That leaves UNDOF troops from Fiji, India and Philippines.

Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Ya’alon, made this statement about current war games conducted by the Israeli Defense Force Golani Brigade: “Golani, as other fighting units in the IDF, may find itself called to a campaign in a short period of time. Therefore, this exercise, as with others taking place these days, has special significance, in this time and in this sector.”

Ya’alon also referenced Gaza Strip, which is nowhere near Golan Heights!

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.

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, Asia-Pacific Front: U.S. Army cuts will not apply to units poised for war with China!

27 June 2013 (20:09 UTC-07 Tango 26 June 2013)/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Army is reducing its size over the next four years.  However, U.S. Army units operating in the Asia-Pacific Theater of War (APTW) will not be affected.  It seems U.S. DoD officials have other plans for those Army personnel.

Only two U.S. Army Brigades in the European Theater of War will be cut.   Brigades in the U.S. states of Washington, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, North Carolina, New York, Kentucky and Georgia will be de-activated.

U.S. Army officials say the reductions are the result of the Budget Control Act of 2011.  APTW Brigades will be enhanced with equipment and personnel from those Brigades that are de-activated.
