World War 3: New Korean War to begin 11 March 2013! South Korea says the North shall be wiped from the Earth!

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has declared the 1953 non-aggression pact void!  As of 11 March 2013 the northern half of Korea will now consider itself at war with the southern half, and the United States!

Officials in Pyongyang are shutting down their operations at the Demilitarized Zone.

There are reports that Kim Jong Un visited front line military units deployed on an island off the western coast of the Korean Peninsula.  Apparently he ordered the military to quickly annihilate the enemy in a single attack.

Other reports say Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s KCNA news agency is reporting that the people are “…ready to fight a Korean style all-out war.”

KCNA also reported that the war will not be confined to the peninsula, and it mentioned future precision strikes targeting “…enemy deployed on five islets…”

The latest claims by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea come after the Republic of Korea declared “…Kim Jong-un’s regime will perish from earth.”

That threat from the South was in response to the North’s threat to use nukes in a first strike against its enemies.  See more of the tit for tat here.

World War 3: North Korean officer reveals they have ballistic missiles with nukes aimed at United States! Tit for tat continues, will it end in nuclear war?

07 March 2013/24 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/17 Esfand 1391

At a rally held in Pyongyang, Korea, a military officer revealed to the crowds that they have inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBM), armed with new smaller nuclear warheads, aimed at the United States.

This comes shortly after the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea said they reserve the right to make preemptive nuclear strikes against the capital cities of their enemies, like the U.S.

That followed the United Nations Security Council passing a new sanctions resolution against the East Asian country.  Also, Australia announced it would not allow Pyongyang to re-open their embassy in Canberra.

And those actions followed a threat from Pyongyang to nullify the armistice that ended the Korean War in 1953.

That threat came because of the announced military war games held by the United States and the Republic of Korea.  Those war games are being conducted now.

This year’s tit for tat can be traced back to the launch of a rocket by Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which was followed by an underground nuclear weapons test.

 

Government Criminals: Results of investigation into Iraq reconstruction proves the Bush Jr administration corrupt, arrogant and inept! Get ready for results of Afghanistan reconstruction investigation, it’s even worse! Future occupations in the planning!

06 March 2013/23 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/16 Esfand 1391

After nine years, the U.S. Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) has issued his Final Report. It proves the George W. Bush administration not only arrogant, but inept and possibly down right criminal.

First, realize that the reconstruction would not have been necessary if the Bush Jr administration had not invaded Iraq.  U.S. taxpayers were forced to spend about $1 trillion USD on invading and occupying Iraq (that does not include tax money spent in 2012).   Another $60 billion tax dollars were spent on reconstructing the country after we destroyed it!

The Final Report from SIGIR shows that most of the corruption involving reconstruction money involved U.S. citizens, not Iraqis, and even saw the Bush administration putting convicted felons in control of untold tons of cash (yes, tons of cash, there was so much U.S. tax money being sent to Iraq they weighed it instead of counting it!).

To make matters worse, former Secretary of State, and Desert Storm hero, Colin Powell has re-admitted he lied about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction in his latest book, It Worked For Me: In Life and Leadership.  Powell also says the Bushy Boy administration never debated any justifications about invading Iraq, they just wanted to do it.  This makes the U.S. invasion of Iraq a war crime under international law. The very law that the United States help create.

Second, the final SIGIR report listed lessons to be learned from the Iraq occupation, lessons that were available from the British occupation of Iraq after the First World War (WW1).  Obviously the Bush administration was inept when it came to learning lessons from history, even though Bushy Boy has a four year degree in History from Yale!

In 2006 I wrote my Senior Thesis on the 20th Century history of Iraq, from the end of WW1 up to the takeover by Saddam Hussein. There is plenty of historical data from the British occupation to have given any future occupier fair warning of what to expect.  I concluded that the United States was making the same mistakes as the British Empire and would eventually pullout after wasting a lot of time, lives and tax money, just like the British did.  One things for sure, Texans like Bushy Boy like to do things big, and he more than exceeded anything the British Empire did when they tried to directly control Iraq.

SIGIR found that many reconstruction projects, being run by U.S. contractors,  were never completed, or poorly completed with at least 40% of projects being deficient, and that none of the projects actually addressed what Iraqis needed!  In other words, U.S. contractors had a field day creating projects to justify taking your tax money!

And for all those main streamer media reports blaming corruption on Iraqi officials, SIGIR’s Final Report blames most of it on your fellow ‘mericans.  So far 98 contractors and U.S. government personnel (including military officers) have been suspended.  104 people have been indited, 82 convicted (including U.S. military officers).

Here’s a list of a few of those honorable U.S. citizens convicted of ripping you off: U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Bruce Hopfengardner

Robert Stein, a convicted felon

Philip Bloom, contractor

Steven Merkes, Department of Defense (DoD)

U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Debra Harrison

William Driver, Harrison’s husband

U.S. Army Reserve Colonel Curtis Whiteford

U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel Michael Wheeler

So far only $191 million have been recovered. Don’t forget, your fearless leaders are still spending your tax dollars in Iraq, while expecting you to take it in the shorts!

Now what about Afghanistan?  According to Stuart Bowen, lead investigator for SIGIR, U.S. spending in Afghanistan is being investigated and it’s turning out to be bigger than Iraq, at least $90 billion spent so far for reconstruction in the Central Asian country: “…Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction [SIGAR] has his hands full…..quite a number of auditors and investigators who have served with me have now moved over to work in his office…”

Now don’t think this means U.S. military adventurism is over, Bowen warned: “Stabilization and reconstruction operations are a reality with us to stay…..we will have them again.”

Breaking news: U.S. backed Syrian rebels capture United Nations convoy in Golan Heights!

06 March 2013/23 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/16 Esfand 1391

Israeli media reporting that Syrian rebels have captured a UN peacekeeper convoy in the Golan Heights.  The rebels consider the UN forces enemies, even though the UN is actually supporting the overthrow of the President of Syria.

“The command of the Martyrs of Yarmouk announced that it is holding forces of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force until the withdrawal of forces of the regime of (President) Bashar Assad from the outskirts of the village of Jamla. If no withdrawal is made within 24 hours we will treat them as prisoners.”-video posted on internet

What Economic Recovery? List of U.S. job losses & store closings for 06 February 2013: A company’s financial fraud now threatens thousands of employees! Illinois hit hard, again! Hollywood continues to say “Cut!” to employees. Warren Buffett likes that Heinz laid off employees in Idaho? Schools hit hard! The nuke disaster you never heard about! Even elites are feeling the pinch!

Lyon Workspace Products (LWP) of Illinois goes bankrupt. The company also gave a WARN notice that it could layoff more than 400 employees! Company officials say they are trying to sell the business.  LWP has been making sheet metal products since 1901.

1200 jobs lost in Illinois according to announcements by several companies!  Those companies are Kmart, Walgreens, Sun-Times Media, already mentioned Lyon Workspace Products, Best Buy, Georgia-Pacific Corrugated, Kroger and Cardinal Health.

Also in Illinois, Jewel grocery will close three Chicago area stores. The parent company, SUPERVALU is selling Jewel off to Cerberus Capital (an evil Romneyite vulture capitalist operation).

Delhaize America continues to slash and burn grocery store jobs across the country. This time a North Carolina TV station interviewed an unnamed source at Food Lion. They said Delhaize America is planning on eliminating another 500 jobs!

In Florida, North Carolina based Duke Energy strikes again, this time closing down a nuclear power plant. The Crystal River 3 Nuclear Plant has actually been shut down after botched repairs were made in 2009. Don’t worry, people will be employed for the next 60 years in order to totally close down the nuclear disaster site. Oh, you didn’t know about that nuke disaster?  In 2009 a crack was found in a containment dome (for how long was it there before being found?), and federal investigators say it was caused by employees. Attempted repairs were unsuccessful.

Frontier Airlines to layoff 700 employees! A Florida TV station said a company rep told them that 700 jobs will be outsourced.

Also in Florida, Universal Health Care Group now bankrupt. Two of the company’s subdivisions are in receivership. Recently New Jersey based health insurer, Care Point, won an auction to take over Universal Health.  The $33.25 million USD take over bid must be approved by state regulators.  Universal Health Care has been accused of financial fraud by the Florida Insurance Commissioner, and even state regulators in Ohio and Georgia expressed concern over the company’s seemingly intentional financial mismanagement.  The company employes at least a thousand people across the country.

In Kentucky, the Knox County Hospital closing down its Long Term Care Facility.  Officials say it is losing more than one million dollars per year!  Also, in Wurtland SunChemical Performance Pigments closing down. 30 jobs lost.  Company officials gave no explanation or warning: “This kind of blindsided us. They never asked us to do anything and I never had any indication they were having problems.”-Bobby Carpenter, Greenup County Judge-Executive

The Home Eco store in Saint Louis, Missouri, closed down.  The owners started the “sustainable home building supplies” store in 2005, but said now that the big national chain stores are carrying the same products they can no longer compete.

As I’ve reported before, the Heinz frozen food factory in Pocatello, Idaho, ending production of T.G.I. Friday’s frozen entrees. 80 jobs lost.  Shortly afterwards Warren Buffett announced he was investing big into Heinz.  Investors from Brazil, known as 3G Capital, joined Buffett in the Heinz take over because they also own Burger King, which uses a lot of Heinz ketchup. 3G Capital is known for “cutting up” companies (typical Romneyite vulture capitalists) so it’s expected Heinz will layoff more people. Also, there are now reports of an inside trader investigation.

Heinz Frozen Food factory, Pocatello, Idaho. Ending production of T.G.I. Friday's frozen meals, switching to frozen snacks.

The movie and animation studio DreamWorks continues to layoff animation employees. This is due to losing money on its most recent animation movies.

In Fresno, California, the elitist Downtown Club is going down. After 50 years the club for wealthy members only closed down. Club owners blamed it on declining membership and increasing costs of operations.  They admitted that for the past 20 years they’ve been debt financing operations.

In El Paso, Texas, an icon in U.S. vacuum cleaner history, Hoover laying off 151 people! Hoover is actually owned by a Hong Kong based company called TTI.  The El Paso factory makes parts for assembly in Mexico. TTI officials said they are not moving jobs to Mexico, so it appears the company is simply reducing production.

In Virginia, the Alleghany County School board said they might be forced to close three elementary schools. They blame declining student enrollment, saying their schools are averaging only 54% capacity.  Also, the Norfolk Public Schools will have 108 jobs cut! School officials say they’re $18 million short: “We have been cut to the bone. And when you are unable to stop the bleeding, the cuts just get closer and closer to the classroom.”-Kirk Houston, school board chairman

In Michigan, the Grand Rapids Public Schools is laying off almost 200 employees, and closing ten schools!!! Officials said they need to save $4.4 million.

Lockheed Martin is trying to buyout mid-level managers. Lockheed is trying to cut 350 positions, and said it has nothing to do with the federal sequestration spending cuts: “The reduction in force is designed to best position the business to remain competitive and operationally efficient, providing the most affordable solutions to our customers.”-Keith Mordoff

One thousand companies refuse to pay their electric bills!

04 March 2013/21 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/14 Esfand 1391

One thousand companies are refusing to pay their higher electric bills, in Japan.

Back in April 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) raised their rates by an average of 14.9%.  This was to help cover the costs of dealing with the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

The thousand businesses formally stated they will not renew electricity contracts with TEPCo. TEPCo officials say they have no choice but to shut off power to those companies.

Government & Corporate Incompetence: Lies exposed about people being exposed to radiation, & more fish turning up with outrageously higher levels of contamination!

28 February 2013/17 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/10 Esfand 1391

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo), operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi General Electric reactors, revealed that rock trout caught in the Pacific Ocean near the nuclear power plant, contain 510000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram!!!

Holy crap retiring Popeman, the official safe limit is only 100 becquerels per kilogram!!!

The fish was caught on 17 February 2013.  This is yet more proof that the GE designed disaster reactors are still pumping massive amounts of radiation into the ocean.  (and remember, the prevailing ocean current brings that radiation straight to the west coast of North America)

And here’s proof that contamination is increasing: Back in December 2012 they caught a fish that had 234000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram.  So in the past two months the levels went up by 256000 becquerels!

And for more insult to injury, TEPCo has refused to make mandatory yearly reports on the the amount of radiation contamination that employees encounter!  That’s according to the Japanese Radiation Effects Association (REA).

Officials with the REA say TEPCo stopped making the reports in 2011 (the year of the melt downs). 21000 employees have been involved in trying to contain the ongoing nuclear disaster. TEPCo publicly apologized and gave the excuse that they’ve been having problems “digitizing” the info, and they hope to submit the two years of missing data to the REA in March 2013.

 

World War 3: United States on the decline, Iran rejects direct talks, again! Increases nuclear activity! Reveals submarine launched drones, demonstrates Kamakazi drones!

“The Americans are growing passive in the world and it can be said that the U.S. offer of talks with Iran is aimed at saving its face as a power in the world….”-statement from Iranian member of parliament Shahin-Shahr

“Obama’s proposal to hold talks with Iran is inconsistent with the facts, and the hostile actions of the Obama administration have also exceeded those of the Bush administration.”-Seyyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini, Iranian Ambassador to Italy

23 February 2013/12 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/05 Esfand 1391

Once again, Iranian officials are rejecting the Obama administration’s offer of direct talks.

Deputy Chairman of Iranian Armed Forces’ Chief of Staff, Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri, said Iran will not back down, because the United States has basically painted itself into a corner: “The [U.S.] doctrine of using pressure to change the behavior of independent countries and political entities has expired, while the doctrine of threat against threat has created new capacities and has changed a lot of political, security, economic and military equations.”

Several weeks ago the Iranian Supreme Leader (aka Ayatollah), Seyed Ali Khamenei, said this about another offer of direct talks: “Negotiation is meant to prove the goodwill. But you [United States] make tens of [hostile] actions with ill intention and then speak of negotiations in words. Can the Iranian nation believe that you are driven by goodwill?”

Iranian Navy Commander, Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, says they’ve been launching UAVs from submarines.  The drones conduct recon missions and are capable of attack missions.  In September 2012, Iran revealed a new drone with a 24 hours flight duration.

Also, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force has used Kamakazi drones in the opening stage of wargames that are going on right now.   The wargames are called Payambar-e Azam 8 (The Great Prophet 8).

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has revealed that several new uranium mines have been established, and they have designated 16 new nuclear sites: “Following months of efforts, 16 new sites for nuclear power plants have been designated in coastal areas of the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, Khuzestan and northwestern part of the country.”

The AEOI also announced that more than 180 centrifuges have been installed at the Natanz nuclear facility.  Fereydoun Abbasi, the boss of the AEOI, says the exact number will be revealed once it’s confirmed they work: “The final count of these centrifuges will soon be given to the media, though before we give their number to the media, the Agency’s inspectors will certainly see them….”

And despite all the U.S. and European sanctions, the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) announced that Iran’s non-oil trade has hit $85.9 billion USD last year: “Iran exported over $37 billion worth of non-oil goods and imported $48.3 billion worth of non-oil products…”-Abbas Me’marnejad, IRICA

To top that, the World Steel Association says that Iranian steel production exceeded one million tons in January 2013.  That put Iran in 17th place for steel output: “Despite the intensified sanctions during the last two years, the capacity of Iran’s steel production has increased 5 million tons and we will be completely self-sufficient in the steel industry in the next three years.”-Hamidreza Taherizadeh, Iran Steel Producers Association, statement made in July 2012

Muslim scientist invents new nano water filter to cleanup radioactive cesium and even strontium!

22 February 2013/11 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/04 Esfand 1391

12 years ago an Egyptian scientist moved to Japan, to work with the National Institute for Material Science to create new water filters with nanotechnology.  Sherif El-Safty’s motivation was to help North African countries filter well water, which has a high rate of arsenic contamination.

After the 11 March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster his Japanese colleges discovered that not only was his nanofilter working on natural contaminants, but it was cleaning up radioactive iodine as well.  Safty had been ordered back to Egypt by the Egyptian government, but returned to Japan, along with his family, after getting the news about the filter.

Safty focused on refining the filter, after three months he came up with nanofilters for radioactive iodine, cesium and even strontium.

The nanofilter (made up of HOM dust) traps the radiation in its itsy bitsy pores (one millionth of a millimeter).  In a lab demonstration Safty showed how a magnet can be used to pull the nanofilters out of the water.

This is not the first time that Safty’s, and his co-researchers’, experiments with HOM mesoporous carriers resulted in success.  Last year they created optical sensors that could detect and remove tiny bits of cobalt and gold from urban ore (discarded cell phones, computers, etc).

The Japanese government has just approved the experimental use of the nano water filters at Fukushima Daiichi, as the GE designed disaster reactors are still pouring out contaminated water.

Nearly two years later, Fish still contaminated with radiation!

18 February 2013, fish being caught off the Pacific coast of Chiba Prefecture, in Japan, are contaminated with 130 becquerels of cesium per kilogram! The new (higher) official safe limit is 100.

The area is 200 kilometers (124 miles) south of Fukushima Daiichi, where several GE designed reactors melted down in March 2011.

This is the first time that fish caught near Chiba Prefecture has exceeded the government safe limits.  However, back in December 2012, sea bass were already showing 60 becquerels of cesium per kilogram. Some fisheries voluntarily stopped accepting the fish back then.

This shows that radioactive contamination of the Pacific Ocean is ongoing, almost two years after the multiple melt downs.
