“The future plans are wide-ranging but the initial goal is matching the global standard of a single number that stays with citizens throughout their life.”-Shigeki Morinobu,  Tokyo Foundation

The neo-imperialist government of Japan has imposed a mandatory ID (identification document) and tracking system of citizens!  It’s said to involve tracking everything from your bank account to disaster relief funding!

According to reports, the My Number system will start out focusing on tracking citizen’s bank accounts! Eventually the My Numbers system will track your health insurance, passports, vaccination records and even your day-to-day shopping trends!  Local governments have been ordered to start collecting data on their residents starting next month.

Supporters say the My Numbers system is needed to meet standards set by the evil Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

“…..I want to kill all foreigners!” Afghanistan, 01 – 06 September 2015: Gas attack against 300 girls! Total failure of U.S. occupation! Obama secretly orders combat troop deployments!

It’s been about six months since my last Afghanistan update, and things have gone to hell in a hand basket!

“When millions of people around the world were taken aghast by the pictures of drowned three-year-old Syrian boy Aylan Kurdi lying washed up on a Turkish beach…..they should see through the fact that the United States is mainly responsible for all the mess.

The main sources of today’s refugees — Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan — are targets of U.S. intervention, which led to devastation, chaos, deteriorating domestic security and extensive displacements. People in those countries could no longer enjoy even basic human rights. Many of them had no choice but to flee for life….”-Hu Yao, Xinhua

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reports nearly $1-billion USD of U.S. taxpayer funding wasted in Afghanistan.  It’s connected to the growing refugee crisis, and “There’s so much uncertainty, especially now. There’s been so much more fighting recently, and that’s going to cause more problems.” 

The New York Times revealed that the Obama regime has given control of U.S. combat drones (UAV) to Germany and Sweden.

Balkh Province:  13 Hazara Shia civilians were pulled from their mini-bus and summarily executed.  Witnesses say the attackers were wearing Afghan National Army (ANA) uniforms.

Bamiyan Province: “We are sitting on a fortune which could create cars and planes for the world, and jobs and schools for local people.”-Mohammad Reza, one of at least 1,200 farmers mobilising a militia to stop the illegal mining of $1-trillion USD worth of minerals from their farmland

Helmand Province: British empire news reports say the Obama regime has deployed more U.S. Special Operations Forces to the former United Kingdom Camp Bastion.  Also, an unnamed U.K. security source says the ANA is now paying Afghans not to attack them!  The deployment of additional U.S. forces comes after two USAF Special Tactics airmen ( a Captain and a Staff Sergeant) were killed at Camp Antonik last week.  News reports say the U.S. personnel were killed by men wearing ANA uniforms, the attack came despite multiple U.S. airstrikes.  

Herat Province: Three separate gas attacks, over the past week, against girl’s schools reported.  At least 3-hundred girls, as well as teachers, now hospitalized!  “When I entered the classroom, there was a very strong smell. When I went home, I fell unconscious.”-Nazia

Kabul Province: “The poverty was unbelievable! I was shocked because after 10 years there seemed to have been no improvement – the road was full of kids begging; women sitting on the roads, wearing burqas. They crowd around, 10 to 15 at each car. They run alongside, saying things like ‘I haven’t eaten’ and ‘my children haven’t eaten for many days’.”-Mahboba Rawi, charity organizer describes exiting Kabul International Airport into the streets of the capital 

Kandahar Province: SIGAR discovered that U.S. taxpayers spent $2.2-million building a new Special Forces HQ, that was before the project was canceled!  

Nangarhar Province: “When I don’t smoke hashish I want to kill all foreigners!”-former ANA soldier who is now chained to a prison wall, being fed only tea, bread and black pepper! 

In the Pachir Aw Agam district, reports that Afghan Taliban attacked U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli created speed freak genocidal maniacs DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]) aka Islamic State.  At least 20 people killed and houses have been torched.  Back in June Afghan Taliban warned DAIISH against “waging a parallel insurgency in Afghanistan.”

Paktia Province:  The ANA’s 203rd Military Corps says they called in a U.S. combat UAV to kill 32 people in the Gharak area of Ahmadabad district.

In the U.S. state of Ohio, a former Sergeant First Class in the Army National Guard is now facing trial for frauding taxpayers for funeral missions he allegedly did not take part in.  He’s accused of charging taxpayers for 130 funerals he was not part of!

In the U.S. state of Wisconsin, about 100 National Guard 950th Engineer Company personnel returned from Afghanistan.

Maryland National Guard’s 1100th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group returned from Afghanistan.

The Wyoming National Guard’s Alpha battery, 2nd battalion-300th field artillery deployed to Afghanistan.

Want to avoid asthma? Get your kids the hell outta the city!

05 September 2015 (11:19 UTC-07 Tango 01)/14 Shahrivar 1394/21 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/23 Yi-You 4713

A new study by the European country of Belgium blames city life for children developing asthma, but it’s not what’s in the city it’s what’s not in the city.

In farm/rural areas the researchers discovered a protein in the dirt that’s not found in metro areas.   It’s called A20 and when children are exposed to it their chances of developing asthma are greatly reduced.  A20 is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory.

“These repeated failures are eroding all confidence, and they have got to stop. Our nation’s bioterrorism response efforts are in jeopardy as we continue to uncover problems….”-joint statement from the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee

Secretary of the U.S. Army John McHugh ordered the shutdown of anthrax factories in Ohio, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and Utah.  It was also revealed that the United States operates anthrax factories in Africa’s Egypt and South America’s Peru.

Most of the “mistaken” ‘live’ anthrax shipments originated at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.   It was part of a program run by the Critical Reagents Program (CRP), whose symbol is a winged devil (they claim it’s a gargoyle).  

In Texas, the Department of State Health Services issued a warning after a deer and a horse died from anthrax.

A former University of Texas biology professor is suing the university for firing her.  The university revoked her tenure by claiming she was a terrorist and was helping China develop weapons grade anthrax.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated and could not find any evidence to back up the university’s claims.

California based Pfenex got a $143.5-million USD taxpayer funded contract to make anthrax vaccine for humans.

California’s Keck Graduate Institute says a type of quinine discovered in 1944 could be used against anthrax and ebola!

Anthrax deaths continue in Canada.  Four more Bison have died in Alberta, at least three tested positive for anthrax.

In China‘s Shaanxi Province at least 19 people are infected, 18 are hospitalized.  15 mules, cattle and sheep died from anthrax in the village of Yuanzhuang.   50 people have been vaccinated.

In the British empire’s United Kingdom a new book reveals how the Ministry of Defense experimented on military personnel, and the general public, with anthrax and other biological warfare agents. 

In Georgia, an anthrax outbreak is hurting their beef exports.  Neighboring Armenia traced the anthrax infections of two people back to the consumption of beef imported from Georgia.

In Morocco, nine people are infected with anthrax.  The Ministry of Health suspects they got infected after touching infected cows.

The death toll in Kenya is now at 3-hundred!  Cape buffaloes in Lake Nakuru National Park are being killed off by anthrax.

India to vaccinate cows in Manalmedu in Bhavani Sagar range after a dead elephant tested positive for anthrax.  The Forest Service workers say they incinerated the carcass.  Back in May, another elephant died of anthrax near Hasanur, but was buried in a deep pit.

In Australia‘s state of Victoria a little uproar over an anthrax outbreak that began after taxpayer funding for biosecurity was cut.  49% of the budget was cut and 42% of biosecurity employees laid off over the past four years.  This year there’s been an outbreak of anthrax in cattle near the town of Tatura.  The government is now spending $9.4-million AUD to upgrade their degraded biosecurity ops.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products.
