World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 03 July – 07 July. More proof of U.S. led War OF Terror. Clinton calls Afghanistan greatest ally, while Karzai continues to say ‘Yankee Go Home’! German & Italians attacked. Courts free ‘terrorists’ because of lack of proof!

07 July 2012

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) reports at least one U.S. led occupation soldier killed by an explosion in southern Afghanistan.

In Uruzgan Province, six civilians were killed when they drove over a mine.

In Helmand Province, four children were killed, three wounded by explosions in separate incidents.

In Farah Province, one person killed, 28 wounded after Mujahideen attacked the provincial governor’s compound.  The attack began with three rockets targeting the compound’s main gate.

In more proof that the U.S. led War on Terror is really a U.S. led War of Terror, there is now video of U.S. air crewman singing American Pie as Afghans on the ground are being killed.

In Herat Province, local government officials are reporting infighting between Mujahideen. The fighting actually began on 06 July, over the distribution of money. At least four people were killed, three wounded.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, made a surprise visit to Afghanistan, and declared: “….President Obama has officially designated Afghanistan as what’s called a major non-NATO ally of the United States.”

This as the day before Afghan President Hamid Karzai denounced the United States, at the end of the National Youth Peace Jirga in Kabul, saying: “Accusing the Afghan government of corruption and incompetence in establishing an authoritative government is a psychological war that has been waged against us, but we understand what they do.”

06 July 2012

U.S. Department of Defense says attacks by Afghan government forces against U.S. occupying forces have increased in the past few weeks: “We continue to be deeply concerned about the insider threat.”-Captain John Kirby, USN

So far this year there have been 19 attacks by Afghan personnel against U.S. forces. In all of 2011 there were 21.

In Maidan Wardak Province, local government officials claim they killed three Mujahideen.   Three were wounded and three captured.  A U.S./NATO airstrike was called in on suspected mine planters.

ISAF claims to have killed another leader, this time in Kunar Province. The killing actually took place on 29 June, but ISAF waited to make the announcement until they felt sure they got their man.

05 July 2012

In Kunduz Province, reports saying at least two German occupying troops were wounded when Mujahideen attacked their convoy.  Mujahideen claim several Germans were killed.

In Herat Province, Italian occupying troops drove over a mine.  No causalities reported.

ISAF claims eight Mujahideen killed in battles in several provinces.

In Helmand Province, U.S. occupying troops killed at least two civilians. Reports say the U.S. forces were wantonly shooting into the village.  Two men tried to escape the bullets by getting onto the roof of their house. They were sniped.

 04 July 2012

Afghan courts have freed 79 prisoners, who’re accused of being terrorists, because (despite U.S. claims) there was no proof of terrorist crimes.  Some of the men had been in prison, without trial, for as long as four years!!!

The U.S. has transferred about 2,200 prisoners to Afghan government control, under a recent agreement.  There are still 3,200 Afghans being held indefinitely  in U.S. run prisons!

In Helmand Province, one person killed,  four wounded, when they drove over a mine.

In Maidan Wardak Province, an Afghan soldier shot and wounded five U.S. occupying troops.  Deputy Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman, Dawlat Waziri, said the attack actually took place the night before.

In Kabul Province, fuelers were attacked, again. The resulting explosions and fires wounded at least 36 people. One report said eight people were killed and 155 wounded!  Spokesman for the Afghan Interior Ministry, Sediq Sediqi, confirmed heavy casualties and destruction to buildings.

 03 July 2012

In Uruzgan Province, an Australian occupying troop was shot and killed.  Australian defence officials confirmed the death, saying the Digger was a veteran of the Special Air Service Regiment, and on his seventh tour in Afghanistan.  He was killed in a firefight with Mujahideen.

In Kabul Province, an explosion set numerous buildings on fire in Kabul City.  One report says a gas cylinder exploded, another report says the explosion was targeting a hotel.

ISAF claims an al Qaeda leader was killed in Kunar Province. He was from the U.S. ally Saudi Arabia (by the way those are the people that attacked the U.S. on 11 September 2001, not the Afghans or Iraqis!).

What Economic Recovery? U.S. GDP lags behind its puppet state Afghanistan

“The global growth outlook will be somewhat less than we anticipated just three months ago. Many indicators of economic activity, investment, employment, and manufacturing, have deteriorated. And not just in Europe or the United States.”-Christine Lagarde, International Monetary Fund, 03 July 2012

In June 2012, the World Bank issued GDP growth projections for the next year.

GDP growth for the United States will stagnate at 1.9%, while the war torn country of Afghanistan will actually grow at 4.9%!!!

Is this because of the billions and billions of USD pledged to the Afghan government by the international community?

The U.S. economy will continue to stagnate partly because the government is spending billions of tax dollars on occupying countries like Afghanistan?

International, U.S.

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 28 June – 02 July. U.S. attacks Afghan forces. Afghan cop kills U.S./NATO troops. U.S. forces kill more civilians, if you’re a farmer you’re a terrorist! Children are terrorists! M1 Abrams Assault Breacher used to destroy homes.

02 July 2012

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said a man wearing a police uniform shot and killed three U.S./NATO occupying troops: “An individual wearing an Afghan National Civil Order Police uniform turned his weapon against International Security Assistance Force service members in southern Afghanistan today, killing three service members.”

As is ISAF SOP no further details were given.  223 occupying personnel have been killed since January 2012.

In Logar Province, local officials claim another U.S. occupying force airstrike has killed at least five civilians.  Two children and three adults were killed as they were working their farm.  Four others were wounded.   U.S. officials claim the farmers were Mujahideen/Taliban terrorists.

In Kandahar Province, at least seven people killed, 23 wounded by an explosion outside the University.  The explosion was caused by a suicide bomber driving a car full of explosives.

In Kabul Province, two groups of “land traders” (real estate agents?) blasted each other over a trade dispute. One person was wounded in the gun battle.  The fight took place near the Afghan-Korea vocational institute in Kabul city.

01 July 2012

ISAF claims to have captured yet another “leader”, this time in Wardak Province.  They say two other Mujahideen were captured, and one killed.

In Ghazni Province, five people were killed, 11 wounded, when a bus drove over a mine.  Local hospital staff said the death toll could rise.

In Paktia Province, two cops were killed, and 10 civilians wounded, after a motorcycle rigged with explosives blew up.

30 June 2012

ISAF occupying forces announced they are now detaining children!  Three kids ranging in ages 8 to 17 were arrested in Kandahar Province.  ISAF claims they were acting as “facilitators” for Mujahideen, by carrying explosives.

Hello! If even the children hate you so much that they would risk arrest or death to help fight your occupation, then maybe it’s time to leave, you dip shits!!!

According to UNICEF (United Nations International Children Education Fund), as a direct result of the U.S. occupation 1,750 children were killed or wounded in 2011 alone!!!

Internet video of USMC M1 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV), and other vehicles, shows the  destruction of homes and villages.  U.S. officials have always said the vehicles were used to clear road side bombs, but the latest video shows the combat engineer vehicles blasting right though villages.

29 June 2012

ISAF claims to killed another “leader”, this time in Logar Province. He was killed in a “precision airstrike” (drone strike).

In Nuristan Province, Mujahideen attacked a government military base. The battle lasted several hours. At least 10 people were killed.

In Parwan Province, a U.S. airstrike wounds three Afghan government troops. Afghan government forces were in a heated battle with Mujahideen.  U.S. officials say their pilots mistook the government troops for Mujahideen (that’s funny government troops wear standard uniforms, while Mujahideen wear traditional Afghan civilian clothing). The battle resulted in as many as 17 people killed.

28 June 2012

In Jowzjan Province, the governor, and his wife and daughter, were assassinated. One of his bodyguards was arrested on suspicion of being involved.

ISAF said two occupying troops were killed by an explosion in eastern Afghanistan.  The explosion took place the day before the announcement:  “Two International Security Assistance Force service members died following an improvised explosive device attack in eastern Afghanistan June 27.”

In Logar Province, another U.S./NATO convoy was attacked. ISAF claims one vehicle damaged, but no casualties.

ISAF claiming more “leaders” captured. One leader captured in Khost Province, another captured in Kandahar Province.

An attempt to capture a leader in Helmand Province resulted in yet another big drug bust.  More than 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds) of opium!

Government Incompetence & What Economic Recovery? Japan & U.S. want mo money for Afghanistan, another $15 billion!!!

On Sunday, 08 July 2012, Japan will host a conference that is pushing for the international community (ie; governments who’ll squeeze their tax payers) to come up with at least $15 billion USD for Afghanistan.  That’s in addition to what’s already been pledged in the past year!

Attendies to the conference will include Afghan President Hamid Karzai, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.

Karzai has already announced that he wants another $3.9 billion USD for more “reconstruction”!

How can there be any economic recovery in the western countries when their governments are getting deeper in debt by giving away money they don’t have?

On 28 June 2012, Norway joined dozens of countries in pledging money in a military pact with Afghanistan. The pact will be officially signed in September.

Also on 28 June 2012, India hosted an international conference on private investment into Afghanistan.   Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister, Zalmai Rassoul, said investors will get a big return on their investment because: “While it is true that there are certain areas in Afghanistan where the security situation is not ideal, we should remember that these areas represent a small part of the country.”

Yeah right! Read my U.S. occupation of Afghanistan updates to know that’s a lie.

Chock Full o’Crap Western News Media: United States caves to Pakistan’s demands for mo money to open NATO occupation supply routes! $9 million for starters!

“We can seize any item, anything that be, if it is not mentioned in the agreements between Pakistan and Afghanistan and Pakistan and NATO.”-Qamar Thalho, Customs official

The full o’crap western news media has been reporting that Pakistan re-opened U.S./NATO supply routes into Afghanistan, because U.S. officials apologized for last year’s killing of Pakistani soldiers.  Wrong! It’s all about the money.

What the western media is not telling the tax payers of the U.S. and other NATO affiliated countries, is that Pakistan is now being paid about $6,000 for every U.S./NATO occupying force supply truck that crosses the Pakistani border into Afghanistan.

There are currently 1,500 trucks waiting to go through, that’s $9 million USD!!!  Pakistani news media said U.S. officials agreed to the higher fee because the alternate supply routes through other countries costs even more money!

Example: The Pentagon says its costs $100 million per month to take supplies through Central Asia, Russia and the Caucasus!!!

Question: Is this bull shit War on Terror in Afghanistan (a country where not one of the residents were involved with the 11 September 2001 attacks on the U.S.) really worth it?

To top it off, the new U.S./NATO supply agreement allows the Pakistani Customs officials to seize any truck that’s carrying “lethal” supplies!

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 23 June – 27 June. Oil starts flowing, Iran joins oil production, Uzbeistan interferes. More U.S. led troops die. Afghans accuse U.S. led troops of stealing their money, Israeli style. Cops poisoned. Cops join Mujahideen. More girls poisoned.

27 June 2012

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) stated that two U.S. led occupying personnel were killed by an explosion in eastern Afghanistan.

iCasualties.org reports 217 occupying forces killed so far this year.

In Ghazni Province, local officials report gun battles between locals and supposed Mujahideen/Taliban. They believe the shootout was the result of people refusing to join a specific organization.

One unnamed occupying official said items, including money, are taken because U.S. led forces believe such things will be used against them (same excuse the Israelis use when they steal stuff from the Palestinians). ISAF Brigadier General, Carsten Jacobsen, claims that people are given paperwork which allows them to get their money/items back, but many Afghans say they are still waiting months later, with no response from ISAF.

In Uruzgan Province, at least six cops were killed by an explosion, three others were wounded after the explosion when Mujahideen open fired on them.

An Italian occupying troop was killed, two wounded, in eastern Afghanistan when a police shooting range was bombed.

Dozens of people killed when Afghan Mujahideen attacked Pakistani border patrol forces.  Mujahideen released a video of the beheading of 17 Pakistani soldiers (who says Pakistan isn’t doing enough for the United States?).

In Helmand Province, about 40 cops were poisoned. It happened at the police academy. The cops recovered.

In Sar-e-Pul Province, at least 90 Rahmatabad high school girls were poisoned. They have recovered.

Afghan security officials are claiming they have proof that Uzbekistan is trying to stop oil production in the Amu River basin.  China’s National Petroleum Corporation was awarded the oil extraction contract last December.

An unnamed security official said U.S. puppet General Abdul Rashid Dostum (accused of the Dasht-i-Leili massacre where hundreds of unarmed prisoners were murdered) has been hired by the Uzbek government to interfere with the Amu River oil project.

Iran announced a oil pipeline project between Iran and Afghanistan. The proposed pipeline will bring Afghanistan refined petroleum products.

World War 3: Operation al-Farouq! Saudi Arabia puts military on high alert, buying 800 top-o-the line Leopard tanks

A letter dated 27 June 2012, and signed by Saudi King Abdullah, shows that Saudi Arabia’s military was ordered on high alert.

The supposed top secret order is calling the operation al-Farouq.

The king claims the move is to prevent “foreign or terrorist attacks.”  For some reason the U.S. main stream news media are ignoring the developments.

Speculation that this could be a move to defend against the growing revolutionary movement calling for the end of the U.S./U.K. puppet Al Saud Royalist regime.

Also, there are problems with the royal family in that heirs are dying off, and there is infighting over who will become the next ruler.

This news comes as a Reuters report revealed that Saudi Arabia has increased its order for German made Leopard 2A7 tanks, to 800!  The original order was for 300, and some in Germany’s parliament tried to stop the sale on grounds that it violated the German constitution.

Reuters was citing a German newspaper: “The Saudi order could secure the future of German tank-makers Krauss-Maffei Wegman and Rheinmetall, which urgently need new markets because of the restructuring of the German army.”-Bild am Sonntag

It’s interesting that last year German officials originally denied such a military sale was being made!

International, U.S.

World War 3: Article 5; an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all! Open War with Syria and U.S. led NATO! Syria shoots down Turkish F-4, Turkey admits it was in Syrian airspace!

“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all, and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually, and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.  Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the [United Nations] Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”-Article 5, North Atlantic Treaty creating NATO,  4 April 1949

On 22 June 2012, Syrian government officials announced they had shot down a Turkish F-4 Phantom 2, because it had violated their airspace.

On 23 June 2012, Turkish President, Abdullah Gul, admitted the F-4 had violated Syrian airspace: “It is routine for jet fighters to sometimes fly in and out over borders…when you consider their speed over the sea.”

Turkish Foreign Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, admitted the same thing, but added that it was not for very long, and had no hostile intentions: “The plane did not show any sign of hostility toward Syria and was shot down about 15 minutes after having momentarily violated Syrian airspace.”

24 June 2012, NATO officials announced they will meet on 26 June to discuss the issue, because Turkey has invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty.  Turkey is a member of NATO.

The last time Article 4 was invoked was in 2003, by Turkey as well.  Guess what happened after that? The U.S. led invasion of Iraq.

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 19 June – 22 June. Dozens killed in hotel attack! Increased attacks on women & children! Increased attacks on Afghan forces! U.S. troops killed! So much for the U.S. occupation stabilizing Afghanistan!

22 June 2012

Afghan Mujahideen attack the Spozhmai Hotel in Kabul city, at least 12 people killed (six cops and six civilians).

Kabul police say the attack began late night, 21 June 2012.  They claim they rescued 20 hostages, but there are dozens more inside: “It would be very easy for police to kill them, but we are afraid because there are civilians, including women and children, trapped inside. We are waiting for daylight.”-General Mohammad Zahir, Kabul police

Mujahideen claim they attacked two hotels, killing at least 25 people including 14 “high profile” elitist Afghans.

21 June 2012

ISAF admits a U.S./NATO helicopter went down in eastern Afghanistan, calling it an emergency landing.  However, reports out of Khost Province say a U.S. helicopter crashed and burst into flames.

Afghan President, Hamid Karzai, says Mujahideen attacks on Afghan troops have increased: “Every day we have at least 20 to 25 casualties, every day at least 20 to 25 of our youths are making the sacrifice for this country and are being killed!”

A United Nations article says that official documentation of women and children, who suffer from violence, show an increase in violence.  However, there is no baseline because official documentation of such violence was started only a few years ago.

The UN article does say that the ongoing war (should read U.S. occupation) is actually making things worse for women and children.

The UN article was published last week.  Today, 21 June 2012, the Afghan government reports several violent domestic crimes in the past few days.  They include the violent rape of an 8 year old, the rape of a 7 year old, and the torturing of a 6 month old and the mother, apparently all in the same province.

20 June 2012 

A suicide bomber kills at least 21 people. Major Martyn Crighton, of NATO, said the attack was against a U.S./NATO checkpoint in the city of Khost.  The U.S. embassy confirmed that three of those killed were U.S. personnel.

It was the third day in a row that U.S. forces were targeted.  According to iCasualties.org, 208 U.S. led occupation personnel have been killed so far this year, 152 being U.S. personnel.

While the city of Khost was attacked, another explosion hit eastern Khost Province. A suicide bomber attacked a U.S./NATO convoy.  Local hospital officials say at least 18 people were killed and 36 wounded.

At least eight people were killed, four wounded, in Logar Province, after a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle blew up. Local officials believe the bomber was attempting to join the attack on the U.S./NATO convoy in Khost Province.

In Kunar Province, local officials claim a U.S./NATO airstrike killed at least 21 people.

In Faryab Province, local officials say they stopped four suicide bombers from carrying out their attacks.

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) claim they captured yet another “leader”, this time in Paktiya Province.  ISAF also claims to have captured a “leader” from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, in Badakhshan Province.  A “facilitator” was arrested in Kandahar Province.

19 June 2012

ISAF reports a U.S. led occupation troop was killed in southern Afghanistan: “Initial reports indicate that seven insurgents launched an attack on a NATO installation and initially were successful in breaching the outer security perimeter.”

Provincal officials from Kandahar say Mujahideen attacked a U.S. base in Kandahar, wounding at least 10 U.S. personnel.  Mujahideen claim they killed or wounded 40 U.S. personnel, and that 17 Mujahideen were wounded in the attack.

In Helmand Province at least 8 people were killed, five wounded, when they drove over a mine.

In Bamiyan Province, 46 school girls were poisoned.

ISAF says more “leaders” captured in Helmand and Paktia provinces.

President Karzai fires the boss of the Academy of Science, and the boss of Social Affairs and Human Science Department, after they tried to publish a book that was racially slanted against non-Pashtuns.  One ethnic group was actually labeled as being thieves and liars, and a threat to Islam.  Pashtuns are the dominant ethnic group of Afghanistan.

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 15 June – 18 June. Cops abusing laws! More troop deaths! $1 billion+ more taxpayer dollars! Mujahideen attacks getting bigger!

18 June 2012

Afghan troops turned their guns on each other in Kunar Province. One soldier was killed, the shooter escaped.

In Kandahar Province, in the Zhari district, three Afghan police attacked U.S. personnel, killing one and wounding nine.  ISAF is investigating: “The International Security Assistance Force confirms that three individuals in Afghan police uniforms turned their weapons against coalition service members….killing one ISAF service member.”

The Danish Army Operational Command confirmed that one of their occupation troops was seriously wounded by a mine.  Denmark is helping the U.S. occupy Afghanistan, with troops in Helmand Province.

Afghanistan’s Ministry of the Interior claims they killed a “leader” in Parwan Province.

In Kapisa Province a suicide bomber blew himself up in a market place, killing six people and wounding 17.  Local officials say the target was a police officer who survived the blast.

The United Nations will help Pakistan to force 150,000 Afghan refuges back into Afghanistan.  The puppet government of Afghanistan has been treating returning refugees as if they were illegal immigrants, even kicking them out of their homes and putting them in concentration camps.

One excuse the Afghan government uses for treating the returned refugees so bad, is that they lack “documentation”.  The UN is pushing to get 150,000 back into Afghanistan this year, because the identification papers for those refugees are set to expire.

17 June 2012

United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence reported another British occupier was killed, this time in Helmand Province “…killed by enemy action…”  They said he was killed on 15 June 2012.

Afghan Mujahideen claim to have shot down a U.S. drone in Afghanistan’s Paktia Province.  U.S. led ISAF/NATO claim the drone crashed due to technical problems.

The Afghan government has admitted that Afghan cops are abusing the laws.  Many cops have been using their authority as an excuse to commit traffic crimes and even more serious crimes.

At least 50 traffic accidents were actually caused by police in the past three months! The result is that the Interior Ministry will create an internal police force to police the existing police force!!!

In Paktika Province a rocket hit a house, killing six people.

Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense reports three of their soldiers killed, 11 wounded, by attacks from Mujahideen.  The attacks took place in Wardak, Logar, Heart, Faryab and Helmand provinces.
