Government Evil: U.S. soldiers go renegade in Afghanistan shoot into homes, at least 15 women & children killed

“When the Americans are killing civilians intentionally, this is called terror and it is an unforgivable act!“-Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan

On March 11, 2012, U.S. soldiers fired randomly into the homes of Afghans!

Local U.S./NATO/ISAF officials claim it was one renegade U.S. soldier, but witnesses say there were several U.S. personnel firing into houses.  Even the U.S. Ambassador indicated there was more than one shooter: “We assure the people of Afghanistan that the individual, or individuals, responsible for this terrible act will be identified and brought to justice.”

At least 16 people were killed, Afghan President Hamid Karzai says most of them were women and children.

“The so called American peacekeepers have once again quenched their thirst with the blood of innocent Afghan civilians…avenge every single death inflicted by the savage murderer invaders.”-“Taliban” statement

Government Incompetence: Pentagon gives multi-million dollar contracts to yet another company that hasn’t paid taxes!

It’s been revealed that Leonie Industries owes the United States $4 million in taxes, yet has been awarded Defense Department contracts worth at least $120 million.

The company is supposed to be providing marketing and media services, as well as intelligence and information operations.

U.S. Senators Tom Carper (D-Delaware) and Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) have demanded that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta explain how a company that owes taxes gets awarded so many contracts.

World War 3: Afghans attack Bagram again, civilians continue anti-U.S. demonstrations, more foreign fighters captured in Afghanistan

March 10, 2012, “Taliban” claim they’ve launched two rockets against Bagram airfield. As usual the rockets didn’t do much damage.  Bagram is under almost continuous attack from rockets, suicide bombers or other forms of attack.

Hundreds of unarmed Afghans continue to protest the United States.  The latest rally took place in the town of Tagab in Kapisa Province. This comes after a U.S. terror drone attack in the same province earlier in the morning.

March 9, 2012, Afghan officials admitted that U.S. led commandos, from the 9th Commando Kandak, were ambushed by “Taliban”.  It happened on March 6, near Sakharai village, Murghab district.  But this case is a great example of overkill by U.S. led forces.  The commandos were first attacked by only two freedom fighters.  Under the guidance of U.S. troops they called in an air strike, for just two insurgents!

But that only made the locals more angry and six more insurgents showed up! Afghan and U.S. officials say they called in another air strike and killed the six new insurgents.   A second air strike to handle six people?  This makes the Vietnam War look efficient.

On March 8, 2012, U.S./NATO/ISAF officials announced they captured two “Taliban” who were actually from Uzbekistan.  They say both were involved in planning suicide attacks.

World War 3 & Government Incompetence?: U.S. Senator calls for blocking all Iranian oil, even thought it would destroy U.S. allies. War with Iran is meant to allow the U.S. to become a major oil exporter

Days after a UBS oil analyst said ten countries (allies of the U.S.) would be destroyed if Iranian oil was cut off, a dumb U.S. Senator proposes to cut off Iranian oil!

In a Friday interview with C-SPAN’s (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) Newsmakers program, democrat Carl Levin says he wants to use the U.S. Navy to blockade Iranian oil shipments.

Levin is inviting other countries to join in: “I think (these are) options that whoever is willing to participate should explore, including Israel and including the United States.”

Levin admitted that alternative oil supplies would have to be found for the allies of the United States.  Mmmm, you mean like the United States now that it actually has too much oil on hand (recently the CEO of Exxon Mobil said the U.S. oil “…markets are well supplied.”)?  Now we know the real reason for going to war against the World’s second largest petroleum producer  (oil from Canada and North Dakota is actually creating a surplus in the U.S.).

World War 3: UBS says war with Iran will destroy U.S. allies

Julius Walker, an oil analyst with Swiss based financial company UBS, says war with Iran could destroy ten countries, from lack of oil.

He told Business Insider that not only would the price of oil skyrocket past $250 per barrel, but the economies of ten countries could be devastated.

Those ten countries are actually allies of the United States (and some are already on the verge of collapse): China, India, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece, South Africa and France.  Maybe they won’t be allies for very long?

World War 3: Sudden increase in U.S. Assassination Terror Drone attacks, more than 50 people killed in past 24 hours, Obama proves he is more a warmonger than Bush Jr

There seems to be a sudden increase in the use of U.S. terror drones (UAV, unmanned aerial vehicle); four attacks in a 24 hour period, killing more than 50 people.

On March 10, 2012, at least four Afghan civilians were reported killed after a U.S. drone strike in Kapisa Province, Afghanistan.

In Yemen, on March 9, 2012, local security forces say a drone strike killed as many as 35 people.   It happened in the south eastern province of al-Bayda.  Then in the early morning of March 10, security forces reported yet another U.S. drone strike in the same area, this time killing at least 10 “militants”.  The people of Yemen have been fighting a Revolution against the U.S. supported government for at least two years now.

In Pakistan, conflicting reports about a drone attack there.  On March 9, 2012, officials said two missiles from a U.S. drone hit a vehicle, killing between eight and 13 militants.  Western reports say the militants would not let anyone get near the bodies, but, regional media said one of the missiles hit a house, killing another seven people.  It happened in South Waziristan Province.

According to Agence France-Presse, there were at least 45 U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan in 2009, 101 in 2010 and 64 in 2011.

Counting the March 9 attack, there have been eight known U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan, since the beginning of 2012.

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism says at least 3,000 people have been killed by U.S. terror drones, in Pakistan, in the past eight years.   Under the Bush Jr administration there were 52 drone attacks in Pakistan.  So far, Peace Prize winning Barack Obama has launched more than 360 U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan!!!

World War 3: Are you a Patriot? Believe in your Constitutional Rights? Member of the Constitution Party? Then you’re offically an enemy of the State! 755% increase in extremism within the United States

“…the federal government is an evil cabal in the hands of bad people. The government is about to impose martial law on the country, very probably with the help of foreign troops, perhaps UN troops. They intend to confiscate all guns from Americans. Those liberty loving Americans who resist will be thrown into concentration camps that have secretly been constructed by FEMA. And ultimately the government will force us all into a socialistic kind of one world government, the so called New World Order.“–Mark Potok, SPLC

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has concluded a study of the rise of “hate groups” and “extremists” in the United States.  They claim that since Barack Obama’s election there has been a 755% increase in such groups!

But, if you look at their charts concerning “Hate Groups” you should note that there’s been a steady increase since before the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

The big jump is actually found in their chart concerning “Patriot & Militia Groups”.  In that chart you can definitely see a huge jump from 2008 to 2009.

So, the SPLC doesn’t just count NAZIs and Klansmen, they include groups that believe in their Constitutional Rights!  It also includes members of the political Constitution Party!

So according to the SPLC you are an “extremist” if you believe in the Bill of Rights!!!  So now it’s almost official; if you are a Patriot and believe in your Constitutional Rights, you are a Terrorist!  This is proof that the United States is no longer what the founders intended.  It is an alien country, no longer the United States of America, it is the United Police States of America!!!

Better check their website to make sure your Patriot Group isn’t on their list.

World War 3: Afghans kill 6 U.K. troops, Dozens of Afghans detained for ‘suspicion’ of being Taliban, Afghan border police killed

March 7, 2012, British Ministry of Defense officials say six of their troops were killed in Helmand Province.  The Red Coats were patrolling in their vehicle when they were hit by an explosion.

In Kandahar Province, Afghan border police were hit by a suicide bomber: “There was a motorbike bomb blast against border police in Spin Boldak. Four civilians, one of them a woman, were killed and 10 others were injured.”-local police statement

As is usual in suicide attacks against Afghans, no one is claiming responsibility. One reason could be that it is not “Taliban” insurgents who’re carrying out these attacks, because they are usually quick to claim responsibility in other attacks.

Also, Afghan government officials reported a major operation involving U.S./NATO/ISAF forces: “The Afghan National Police, Afghan army and International Coalition Forces launched 11 joint operations in Nangarhar, Kunduz, Kandahar, Helmand, Wardak, Khost, Ghazni, and Logar provinces over the past 24 hours. As a result of these operations, four armed militants were killed and 31 others were arrested.”-Interior Ministry statement

The overwhelming number of people arrested, were detained simply for being “suspected” of being a militant, or being a “facilitator” for militants (something that can now be done here in the U.S. under NDAA 2012).

Government Evil: New evidence suggests Libya not involved with Pan Am Lockerbie bombing! Gaddafi was innocent?

“It is now absolutely clear this fragment was not from a timer we delivered to Libya. We told the police in 1999 this was the case but they would not believe us. We lost our company and had to pay a big damages claim.”-Edwin Bollier, former boss of Swiss company Mebo

In 1988, Pan American flight 103 went down over Lockerbie, Scotland, after an explosion.  Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi was blamed for ordering the bombing.

The blame was based on ‘evidence’ from a timer used on the bomb.  Now the Scottish media reporting that new evidence says otherwise!

During the Lockerbie trials, prosecutors claimed the flight 103 bomb used a MST-13 timer, made by a Swiss company called Mebo.  The prosecutors produced documents that showed that Libya bought 20 of the timers.  The Swiss company Mebo went bust as a result of the trial.

Now, almost 24 years later, the former owner of Mebo, Edwin Bollier, says that since at least 1999 there’s been evidence that the timer used in the flight 103 bombing was not one of Mebo’s.

Not only does the evidence open the doors for Bollier to sue the British government, but it casts doubt on the prosecution’s claim that Libya was behind the bombing.

In fact the author, John Ashton, who wrote the biography on the Libyan who was convicted of the bombing (Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi), said the timer could not have been made by Mebo, because of the way it was constructed.

Regarding Megrahi; he never took the witness stand during the trial, and the British government allowed him to come to the U.K. without a passport or other documents.  John Ashton based his book on the never been published 800 page Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission report.  Ashton got the report after years of legal wrangling.

It looks like another case of the U.S. and U.K. setting events up to justify international murder (war)!

After a meeting with officials from the United Arab Emirates, Canadian officials also imposed new sanctions. The new sanctions include a complete ban on financial services, as well as sanctions on the Syrian central bank.
