World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 21 – 23 September 2012. China will take over from United States! Roadside bomb turns out to be infant! Red Coat gives birth, never knowing she was pregnant! Last of surge troops leave, mission accomplished!?

23 September 2012

In a secretly planned trip to Afghanistan, top Chinese leaders paid a visit to President Hamid Karzai.  The purpose is to increase business ties, and to create a Chinese military presence in Afghanistan (I guess Karzai has found a new puppet master): “It is in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples for China and Afghanistan to strengthen a strategic and cooperative partnership, which is also conducive to regional peace, stability and development.”-Zhou Yongkang, Chinese Communist Party

China already has copper and oil mining operations in Afghanistan.  Karzai and Yongkang signed a deal in which China will provide $700,000 USD worth of police equipment, and train up Afghan cops for the next three years.  This comes after the United States halted the training of Afghan cops because of the increased Green on Blue attacks.

In Helmand Province, at least seven people killed by U.S. ordered airstrikes.

In Nangarhar Province, a peaceful protest blocked the main highway for hours.  They are still protesting the U.S. made anti-Islam movie, and newly published anti-Islam comic in a French newspaper.

22 September 2012

ISAF said: “An International Security Assistance Force service member died following an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan today.”

So far 258 U.S. personnel have died this year, 81 for all other allied occupying troops.

Karzai said he will continue to replace provincial governors, as part of his anti-corruption crusade.

The Afghan Interior Ministry has banned all Pakistani publications.

In Ghazni Province, Polish troop thought they were disarming a roadside bomb, it turned out to be a two day old infant.  They named her Pola.  They announced their find on 22 September, but said it actually took place on 19 September.  They will turn the infant over to the Afghan government, but the chances that an abandoned female baby will find a home in Afghanistan are slim to none.

(on 18 September a British Royal Army woman gave birth at Camp Bastion.  The woman swears she did not know she was pregnant.   It’s magic, Prince Harry Potter?)

The U.S. based International Justice Network accused Obama of running a torture camp at Bagram: “The administrative detention regime that the U.S. government now uses at Bagram is not only illegal under international law, but contravenes the Afghan Constitution in a number of respects…..We know that hundreds of people have been tortured in the U.S. prisons and we also know that some of the prisoners in Bagram have lost their lives as a result of tortures.”

In Herat Province, Mujahideen ambushed a U.S./NATO food and fuel convoy, destroying one fueler.

21 September 2012

In Helmand Province, two Red Coats were killed, one at Camp Bastion the other at FOB Shawqat.  Interestingly the British Ministry of Defence is still trying to figure out if the deaths are the result of “hostile action”.

In Herat Province, a local government official was arrested and charged with being a spy for Iran.

In Uruzgan Province, five people were killed when they drove over a mine.

In Paktia Province, an illegal U.S. night raid resulted in a wedding being destroyed.  Witnesses say several people were arrested, and even the brides dowry was stolen by U.S. forces.  The raid is illegal because under the recent agreement Afghan forces must be involved.  Local Afghan government officials say they were never notified.

U.S. officials announced that the last of Obama’s 33,000 surge troops have withdrawn from Afghanistan.  There are still 68,000 U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.  In classic Bush Jr style, numb nuts Leon Panetta called it mission accomplished: “As we reflect on this moment, it is an opportunity to recognize that the surge accomplished its objectives of reversing Taliban momentum on the battlefield…….At the same time, we have struck enormous blows against al Qaeda’s leadership…”

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 17 – 20 September 2012. The war ain’t going away! Steps towards war with Pakistan! Governors chosen by Karzai, not elected! 1,000 Mujahideen launch major offensive! Wives who runaway go to prison!

20 September 2012

ISAF said: “An International Security Assistance Force service member died following an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan today.”

Afghan foreign ministry officials announced they will file a complain against Pakistan, with the UN Security Council.

President Hamid Karzai announced the appointment of 10 new provincial governors.  This comes as a report suggested that seven governorships had already been altered from election results  (this is a fine example of the United States’ spreading of democracy).

In Bamyan and Kabul provinces, thousands of people protested the U.S. made anti-Islam movie.

The government of Afghanistan is about to issue electronic ID cards, for the upcoming elections.  The system is costing $120 million USD, and you can easily guess where that money came from.

19 September 2012

In Nangarhar Province, about 1,000 people protested the U.S. made anti-Islam movie.

In Kandahar Province, a suicide bomber killed two cops and one civilian, and wounded five cops, after he blew up his motorcycle.

In Helmand Province, two cops and a civilian were shot dead.  The shooter escaped.

In Kunar Province, at least 1,000 Mujahideen launched a major offensive.  The assault on Afghan police began at 04:30 hours.  Local police officials say the battles are ongoing, but they managed to kill a “leader”.  They think the Mujahideen are being supported by Pakistan.

Mujahideen claim they destroyed another U.S./NATO supply convoy.  The ambush came on a highway that links Herat, Kandahar and Farah provinces.

ISAF said: “As the security force approached the IMU [Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan] leader’s location, he and one other insurgent maneuvered from the compound and displayed hostile intent towards the Afghan and coalition troops. The security force positively identified the insurgent threat and engaged. The insurgent was killed and the IMU leader was arrested without injury.”

In Herat Province, a police academy was bombed. Two cops killed five wounded. The United States has personnel operating in the police academy.

18 September 2012

ISAF said: “In Nad ‘Ali district, Helmand Province, today, an Afghan and coalition security force arrested one of the Taliban leaders behind Friday’s Camp Bastion attack.”

In Kabul Province, a female suicide bomber killed 12 people, including nine foreigners.  It’s believed the target was U.S. personnel, however the foreigners killed were from South Africa.  The Islamic Party of Afghanistan said the attack was in response to the U.S. made anti-Islam movie.

Also in Kabul, a bus was rammed by another vehicle packed with explosives. The explosion killed 12 people,.

In Zabul Province, Mujahideen ambushed a U.S./NATO supply convoy, destroying 13 fuelers, wounding one person.

In Kunar Province, an explosion killed one civilian, and three U.S. personnel.  One civilian wounded.  According to ISAF the U.S. personnel were repairing a bridge at the time.

In Parwan Province, hundreds of protestors tried to enter U.S. controlled Bagram airbase.  Police kept them back.  The protestors are upset over the U.S. made anti-Islam movie.

ISAF/NATO says they are limiting military operations involving U.S./NATO and Afghan  government forces: “This will likely lead to adjustments in exactly how, when and where ISAF troops operate, especially during the current period of heightened tension.”-unnamed U.S. military official

17 September 2012

In Helmand Province, an Afghan soldier fired on U.S./NATO vehicles. One U.S./NATO personnel wounded.

In Kabul Province, an attack on a prison was foiled. Local police say they arrested the plotters.  They say one of the plotters is from Pakistan.

Also in Kabul, 50 Afghan cops were wounded protecting the very same infamous prison from people protesting the U.S. made anti-Islam movie. A police check point and police vehicle were burned.

The Afghan government’s own human rights commission has discovered that 70% of imprisoned women are there for the crime of running away from home!!!

“This is a major issue and women are jailed over adultery after escaping from their home. If the government does not have a specific law in this regard then it should be referred to us in order to modify a regulation in a bid to clarify the rules and prevent misunderstanding and misuse by Afghan attorney and police regarding the Afghan women.”-Fawzia Koufi, Parliamentarian Commission for Human Rights, Civil Society and Women’s Affairs

DNA evidence proves sex crimes charges against Assange false!

17 September 2012, a condom given to Swedish police, in relation to the sex crimes charges against Julian Assange, has tested negative for his DNA!

Two laboratories were used, and both concluded the DNA did not belong to Assange!

The revelation came in a 100 page police report.  A condom from another alleged victim did have his DNA, however, the police report says the woman did not mind having sex with him.

World War 3: U.S. deploys two company size elements into Yemen! What happened to the platoon sized element? Saudi official kidnapped by al Qaeda, yet Yemen leaders blame Iran!

“We do not accept any foreign forces in Yemen, be it small or big forces, and for any reason!“-Yemeni parliament statement, 15 September 2012

17 September 2012, the United States was supposed to send a platoon sized element of U.S. Marines, but it turns out that at least 250 U.S. personnel, along with 200 AFVs (armored fighting vehicles), have deployed into Yemen!  And it turns out they’ve been in country since 15 September, according to the Yemeni newspaper Al Ol.

On 16 September 2012, the U.S. puppet leader of Yemen said he would allow a platoon from the USMC to guard the U.S. embassy in Sana’a (the Yemeni government said 50 of those 250 U.S. personnel were directly guarding the U.S. embassy.  That’s still slightly more than a platoon size element).  U.S. Marines are also guarding a hotel where embassy staffers stay.

Back in March a Saudi official was kidnapped in Yemen. The government there blamed al Qaeda in Yemen.  In July Yemen officials claim they broke up an Iranian spy ring that had been in operation for seven years.  Then on 16 September Yemen’s Foreign Minister, Abu Bakr al-Qirbi, tried to blame everything that has been going on in his country on Iran: “We have informed the Iranians of our concerns regarding these developments. While there has been no evidence indicating the Iranian authorities were directly involved, unfortunately it does seem that there are Shiite groups in Tehran that played a role in this network.”

The problem is that most people in Yemen are Arabs, most people in Iran are Aryans.  Al Qaeda is connected to Arabs who are Wahhabi Islam, most Iranians are Shi’a Isalm, which al Qaeda has sworn to kill.  Sounds like more U.S. attempts to get people riled up for war with Iran.

What Economic Recovery? Wars on Terror, anti-Islam movies, sanctions against Iran, all part of conspiricy to jack up oil prices beyond $150 per barrel? The real shadow war?

16 September 2012, get ready for higher oil prices!

Iranian officials in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said the real price per barrel of oil should be around $150 USD.  Their reasoning varied from the time of the year, to comparisons of prices by inflation (1970s compared to 2000).  They even said the World economy can handle much higher prices.

Not sure if they are talking about British Brent crude prices, or U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil.

On 14 September 2012, Brent crude went over $117 USD per barrel.

Reading a Canadian report, turns out that’s still not high enough!  The Canadian province of Newfoundland/Labrador have set their government budget in the hopes that Brent crude will go over $124 USD per barrel.  The province makes most its money off oil production.

In fact, because Brent hasn’t hit the magic money mark, yet, the provincial Premier, Kathy Dunderdale, had to cut their budget: “I’m not so worried about this year. I’m more worried about next year. Because if oil stays where it is, our deficit could be around $1 billion [CAD] next year.”

In other words, some governments, who’s major money making industries happen to be the oil industries, want oil prices to skyrocket!!!

However, Iranian OPEC officials say the United States is trying to bring down oil prices, by demanding OPEC members increase oil production.

A few years ago I read an article that explained that most oil producing countries (including members of OPEC) would be losing money if oil were less than $90 per barrel.

So, the reason why the U.S. wants to bring down prices, while other countries want prices to go up, could be that the U.S. domestic oil industry can handle lower oil prices (except for shale oil).  Most other countries have higher oil production costs (like Canada) because of the type of oil and labor costs.

The U.S. model is a kind’a WalMart tactic; keep prices cheap and sell as much in volume as you can until your competition quits.

So what we have are those who want oil prices even higher than they are now, and those who want them to drop.  Is this the real shadow war taking place behind the deadly facade of War on Terror, sanctions and insulting other people’s religions?

World War 3: U.S. embassy in Yemen closed! U.S. citizens need to get the hell out!

16 September 2012, the U.S. embassy in Yemen has suspended all consular services for the next two weeks: “The Embassy will be closed for all consular services through Saturday, September 29. An American citizen with a serious emergency should call the Embassy at 755-2000 to reach the duty officer.”

Emabassy officials are demanding that U.S. citizens get the hell out of Yemen: “U.S. citizens who are already in Yemen should depart. The security threat to all U.S. citizens in Yemen remains critical.”

World War 3: Germany sells Egypt attack submarines, Israel orders Germany to stop sale! Germany says F-off Israel!

“No country in the world has the right of veto to decisions taken by the German government!”-Thomas de Maiziere, Germany’s Defense Minister

16 September 2012, perhaps German officials are finally getting tired of Israel?

Israel has arrogantly claimed they can veto Germany’s sale of Type 209 attack submarines to Egypt!  Two weeks ago it was revealed that Egypt was buying two of the German made subs, the same type that Germany has been selling to Israel.

Israeli media quoted Israeli government officials as saying this was “a marked deterioration in relations between Israel and Germany”.

The German media says it’s time to stop supporting Israel: “It’s a serious matter when Germany, as the world’s third largest arms exporter, apparently pays little consideration to the consequences of its policy of exporting submarines to Israel.”– Die Tageszeitung

World War 3: Another Egyptian army post, and towns, under attack in Sinai, Egyptians killed!

“The shooting continued for three hours causing much panic and fear and then as is always the case things return back to normal as if nothing has happened.”-Mohamed El-Menei, local politician in the town of Sheikh Zuwayed

16 September 2012, an Egyptian army post in the Sinai was attacked.

Five Egyptian are wounded, one soldier was killed. The attackers target the army outpost, then moved on to the town of al-Arish where they attacked a police station.  One woman and a child were wounded.

Apparently the attacks were in retaliation for the arrests of people in another town called Sheikh Zuwayed.  Egyptian government forces have been arresting people they suspect of being involved with the 05 August 2012 attacks that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers.

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 16 September 2012. Attack on Camp Bastion bigger than first reported! Mujahideen dressed in U.S. Army uniforms! More Green on Blue attacks! U.S. launching airstrikes! U.S. reneges on prison handover, Karzai getting pissed!

16 September 2012

“The insurgents appeared to be well-equipped, trained and rehearsed, officials said. Dressed in U.S. Army uniforms and armed with automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests, the insurgents attacked coalition fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft parked on the flight line, aircraft hangars and other buildings…”-American Forces Press Service, U.S. Department of Defense

The latest U.S. Defense Department report says the attack on Camp Bastion not only killed several U.S/ISAF/NATO personnel, but damaged helicopters, destroyed at least six AV-8B Harriers, damaged two other Harriers (current users of the Harrier are USMC, Italy & Spain), destroyed three refueling stations, damaged hangers, etc.

The DoD report conflicts with ISAF’s report concerning Mujahideen casualties. ISAF claims 18 Mujahideen killed, the U.S. DoD says 14.

Mujahideen claimed their goal was to eliminate Red Coat Prince Harry.

A U.K. Ministry of Defence statement admitted damage to the base was “significant” and a “clearance operation” was underway.

ISAF is now reporting that Afghan police forces in Zabul Province have shot and killed four U.S./ISAF/NATO personnel: “Four International Security Assistance Force service members died today in southern Afghanistan following an insider attack suspected to involve members of the Afghan police.”

In Helmand Province, two Red Coats (British empire thugs) were shot and killed by an Afghan cop. Three other Red Coats were wounded before the cop was killed by return fire.

Hundreds of protestors have taken over Kabul University. They are protesting the anti-Islam movie made by a right wing U.S. christian/convicted con man.

U.S. led airstrikes have killed at least eight people in Laghman Province, and 16 people in Kunar Province.  Many people are wounded. U.S. occupation leaders claim they were targeting Mujahideen, however, local government officials say all eight of the people killed in Laghman were women.

President Hamid Karzai condemned the U.S. led airstrikes, and he said that the United States is not allowing Afghan officials access to Bagram Prison, even though the U.S. claimed they officially handed over the prison last week: “Delay in the handing over of prisoners after September 9th is a serious violation of the agreement signed between Afghanistan and the United States.”

Karzai says the United States is refusing to hand over 600 prisoners!!!  Human rights groups had warned this would happen.

World War 3: Australians, Belgians & French join protests. Plot twists on anti-Islam movie, now there’s a porn connection! FBI cancels trip to Libya! Evacuations ordered in Sudan & Tunis! U.S. Congress lack of action could reduce funding for security. Burger King next on hit list! Libya attacks were set up!

“They call us the terrorists? But everyone is terrorizing our people!”-Sarah Jacob, Australian protestor

15 September 2012, in Australia, police tear gassed hundreds of protestors. At least six cops and several protestors were wounded.  Eight people arrested.

The producer of the movie, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, surrendered himself to Los Angeles county sheriff’s deputies, in California. He is being questioned about violating his federal probation.

It also turns out that he did not actually direct the anti-Islam movie.  Gawker.com claims they’ve talked to many of the actors in the movie, and they say it was directed by porn man Alan Roberts.

In Belgium, 120 people detained during protests.

The U.S. Department of State has ordered all non-essential diplomatic personnel to evacuate Sudan and Tunisia!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation put on hold their trip to Libya, citing the ongoing violence!  This after the Obama administration said they would comment no longer on the anti-U.S. violence: “I’m going to frustrate all of you, infinitely, by telling you that now that we have an open FBI investigation on the death of these four Americans, we are not going to be in a position to talk at all about what the U.S. government may or may not be learning about how any of this happened, not who they were, not how it happened, not what happened to Ambassador Stevens, not any of it, until the Justice Department is ready to talk about the investigation.”-Victoria Nuland, spokeswoman

U.S. Representatives on the House Intelligence Committee revealed that this was not the first time the U.S. consulate in Libya was attacked, in fact they said it was attacked four previous times in the past few months: “It’s clearly a target that they wanted to hit and they wanted to cause casualties…..It’s just too many coincidences here.”–Mike Rogers, Representative for Michigan’s 8th congressional district

President Obama had said that there was no “actionable intelligence” that the consulate was going to be attacked. 

On 14 September a report by the Office of Management and Budget said budget cuts under sequestration will reduce funding for U.S. embassy/consulate security by $129 million USD: “Members of Congress should work together to produce a balanced plan that achieves at least the level of deficit reduction agreed to in the BCA that the President can sign to avoid sequestration.”

The United Nations evacuated personnel from Libya, for security reasons.

A few days ago the airport in Benghazi, Libya, had been closed to allow U.S. drones to patrol.  Apparently the airport was closed again, for several hours, this time due to security issues.

In France, dozens of people were detained for questionable identifications, during protests outside the U.S. embassy.

Al Qaeda in Yemen is demanding the deaths of all U.S. diplomats!

In Lebanon,  police surrounded a Burger King when they heard it was going to be attacked.

In China, an official government statement said they would never piss off Muslims: “We are against of any actions to vilify the image of Islam or to hurt the feelings of Muslims. We believe the dignity of a religion should not be vilified or defamed.”–Hong Lei, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman

However, there are thousands of Muslims (even Buddhists) in China that would dispute that claim.
