World War 3, Afghan Front: U.S. led NATO falling apart! Calls emergency meeting!

“….they are telling us ‘no panic yet’.”-unnamed NATO official to Rueters

As I’ve written in a previous Afghanistan update, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is being destroyed by continued deployment to Afghanistan.  Now it’s not just financially, it’s for legal reasons.

NATO leaders have just called for a “strategic planning assessment”, all because Afghan President Hamid Karzai is refusing to sign a new military pact with the United States: “….we can’t finalize our preparations until we have finalized negotiations on the legal framework.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary-General during NATO press conference

NATO member Germany kind-o-blamed the United States: “Our decision depends on these decisions. We have made an offer, but we need clarity on the rights and duties of our soldiers and we need clarity on the U.S. decision.”-Thomas de Maiziere, Defense Minister of Germany, interview with BBC

NATO officials told Reuters that despite the official 2014 pullout, they expect to have 12-thousand NATO troops remain in Afghanistan!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 04-06 October 2013: Taxpayers fund World’s largest solar power plant! U.S. kills people hunting for food!

“Thousands of our men have been martyred and as for your soldiers, we did not go after them to other countries. They came to our country and they have been torturing us and have sabotaged our government!….We are approaching total success as most of the country is now under our control…..when NATO leaves it will be as it was before, the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan.”-Qari Nasrullah

Bamyan Province: Taxpayers in New Zealand can be proud that they’ve paid for the World’s largest “off grid” solar power project!  It cost $18 million USD.

Farah Province: Bala Baluk District, U.S. led NATO forces launched an attack, destroying one Mosque and several homes.  Four Mujahideen killed, one Mujahid killed.

Farayb Province: Qaisar District, two Afghan border police were killed, nine wounded when a bicycle bomb exploded.

Kandahar Province: Zhari District, four U.S. Army personnel were killed by explosion. They were from California, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Oregon.  U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Command said one of those killed was a CID agent assisting Special Forces in investigating a possible crime by U.S. personnel.  Mujahideen say they were defending their area from a heliborne op by U.S. forces.  They say dozens of U.S.-NATO personnel were wounded from multiple explosions.  Mujahideen say they captured M4 assault rifles, a rocket launcher, three night vision goggles and other equipment.

Kunduz Province: During a surprise visit the German Defense Minister Thomas de Maiziere, and German Foreign Minister Guido Westerewelle, turned over one of the German army bases to the Afghan government. The unnamed base is in the northern part of the province.

Helmand Province: A U.S. Marine Lance Corporal from Wisconsin was killed in a non-combat incident.  That’s the officials U.S. story, however, Mujahideen claim they killed one, and wounded another, U.S. personnel in a firefight in Nad Ali District.

Maidan Wardak Province: Chak District, Israeli style U.S. led Afghan government home invasions left eight people dead, and five people were kidnapped.

Nangarhar Province: U.S.-NATO airstrike kills five civilians hunting for food!  Local police confirm a group of as many as 20 men were out hunting wild birds for food!  Police say the men were using air powered rifles, not military weapons.  U.S.-NATO officials are refusing to comment.  In Khogiyani District, a man was kidnapped by U.S. led government forces during an Israeli style home invasion.

Nuristan Province: Wama District, a police chief was killed while on his way to inspect police personnel.  His vehicle ran over a landmine.

Zabul Province: A U.S. Army Specialist from Ohio was killed in a Green on Blue attack.  The Afghan government personnel was killed.

The Afghan Interior Ministry claims that 107 Mujahideen were killed, and 52 captured in military ops around the country.

Mujahideen claim another dozen or more Afghan police and army personnel have switched sides.

“…..67% of the 72,000 equipment items have already been removed from our Marine Corps portion of the joint and coalition Afghanistan battle space. We have reduced 5.35 million square feet of aviation matting to 150 thousand square feet today. Additionally, of the over 42,000 total items retrograded to date, 60% of those are being inducted for reset actions at our depot maintenance plants.”-USMC Lieutenant General William Faulkner

“One cost driver is multi-modal transportation. While over the past several months multi-modal has been the primary means to move retrograde and redeployment cargo out of Afghanistan, projected volumes of cargo along the Pakistan Ground Lines of Communication are increasing and are currently trending at or near 50%. Surface lines of communication, the Northern Distribution Network and PAKGLOC are critical to achieving the retrograde velocity necessary to meet timelines and they are less expensive than multi-modal and direct air transportation.”-U.S. Army Lieutenant General Raymon Mason

World War 3, South East Asian Front: Japan & Vietnam practice war on China, under the guise of rescue ops!

21 October 2013 (05:06 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/29 Mehr 1391/17 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Japan’s Maritime Self Defense Force is taking part in “rescue” games with the navy of Vietnam.

It’s interesting that some of the crews of the rescue training operations took part in familiarization with anti-ship missiles!  The three Japanese ships taking part are totally combat oriented, and are not true rescue ships.  Japanese naval officers also gave their Vietnamese counterparts a computer presentation about the combat capabilities of the Japanese ships.

Japan and Vietnam have increased military relations, in July the Japanese Coast Guard made a port call in Da Nang.

Several Japanese and Vietnamese news sources admitted that Vietnam and Japan are joining forces against China in ongoing territorial disputes.  Japan occupied Vietnam during World War 2, claiming they were liberating the country from French control.

During the Second World War, the U.S. government promised the Vietnamese independence if they rescued U.S. aircrew who were shot down by the Japanese.  Then after the war the U.S. government stabbed them in the back by letting France retake control of Indochina.

Japan is now a major lender of official development assistance (ODA) to Vietnam.

Vietnam has also contracted with Japanese companies to build nuclear power plants.  Why isn’t the U.S. government upset over that?

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 01-03 October 2013: Russia building up troops on border, preps for invasion? Obama regime allows Al Qaeda leader to run for president! More hypocrisy with taxpayer money! More illegal imprisonment by U.S. forces!

Helmand Province: Lashkargah City, Afghanistan’s version of Homeland Security, National Directorate of Security (NDS), bragged that they stopped a suicide bombing operation.  Guess what happened?  Major explosions rang out right after their claim.  A car bomb went off.  In a related incident, the mayor and a district assistant, from Garmsir District, were ambushed and assassinated by Mujahideen while they traveled to Lashkargah City.  In Nawa District, four Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed when they drove over a landmine.  Two soldiers wounded.

Herat Province: One ANA soldier and two civilians wounded when an army vehicle ran over a landmine.

Kunar Province:  An attorney for NDS was assassinated by remote detonated bomb, as he drove to work. His body guards were wounded.

Parwan Province: Near Bagram airbase, the Investigating Fates of Prisoners Committee confirms that out of 519 cases investigated so far at least 433 Afghans have been unjustly imprisoned in the Parwan Detention Center (aka Afghanistan GITMO) by the U.S. military.  That’s an extremely high rate of illegal detentions!  The Parwan Detention Center was only recently turned over to the Afghan government by the United States.   There were more than 3-thousand people trapped inside at the time of the turnover.  Afghan courts have been releasing those prisoners where the U.S. has failed to provide documentation accusing them of a crime. This begs the question; why did the U.S. military imprison them?

“Afghan National Security Forces carried out several cleanup raids in Nangarhar, Faryab, Kandahar, Uruzgan and Ghazni provinces within the last 24 hours. As a result 26 armed Taliban were killed, two wounded and seven others were arrested by the ANSF”-Afghan Interior Ministry statement

Remember all the hate rhetoric about Osama bin Laden being responsible for creating al Qaeda, and providing them safe haven in Afghanistan?  Turns out that was BS!  So now that Osama bin Laden is dead the actual person responsible for bringing al Qaeda to Afghanistan is now running for President!  Abu Sayyaf is so influential that even an al Qaeda rebel group in the Philippines named themselves after him.  Abu Sayyaf is considered the mentor to Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the man accused of planning the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.  So why did the U.S. have to kill Osama, and why haven’t they gone after Abu Sayyaf?

Speaking of the NDS, investigators looked into the kidnapping of a female member of parliament (remember that one?) and now accuse the woman’s brother of orchestrating the kidnapping.  I was suspicious when the family repeatedly denied the woman had been kidnapped, even though nobody could explain where she was.

Reports that a former Afghan National Army soldier was arrested in Pakistan.  He’s wanted for killing three Australian Diggers. But get this, according to the Aussie government the guy was arrested back in February!  No explanation why they waited until now to report it.

Taxpayers from dozens of U.S. led NATO member countries are spending $200-million USD to teach Afghan soldiers how to read, this while NATO member countries slash and burn their own education funding!

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is warning that a new program could waste another $1-billion in U.S. tax money.  The wise U.S. leaders are planning to give the Afghan National Police (ANP) unlimited U.S. tax dollars so the ANP can buy fuel, without oversight: “The ANP fuel program….remains at high risk of loss, theft, or misuse of U.S. funds and purchased fuel and, if not improved, may increasingly place large amounts of U.S. funds at risk of fraud, waste, and abuse.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

The Afghan Mines and Petroleum Ministry estimates that Afghanistan’s mineral resources, including oil, are worth about $1 trillion.  However, one analyst has a warning: “The sector, as a whole, is operating in a very uncontrolled way. There’s no oversight.”-Stephen Carter, Global Witness

In a now typical hypocritical move, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would allow Iraqis who worked for the U.S. government to extend their visas.  This after the U.S. State Department began reneging on visas issued to Afghans who work for the U.S. government.

Tajikistan has allowed Russia to station more troops on their border with Afghanistan.  Also, Russia has promised to increase military weaponry to Tajikistan.  Russian and Tajik officials admit their military buildup is in preparation for the supposed 2014 U.S.-NATO pullout.  The renewed Russian-Tajik military pact is in effect until 2042!

Obama regime bold face liars: United Nations has proof U.S. regime killing civilians with drones! Violating international law! U.S. citizens “future” targets of drones!

19 October 2013 (01:26 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/27 Mehr 1391/15 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“….if there are terrorists within an area where there are women and children, or others, we do not [stress added by speaker] take such action…In fact I can say…there hasn’t been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency, precision of the capabilities that we’ve been able to develop.”-John O. Brennan, Obama regime adviser, during the question and answer session after his speech to Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, 29 June 2011. The answer to the question is not on the official White house transcript but can be viewed about 49:30 minutes into C-SPAN video

“Zero innocent civilians having lost their lives does not sound to me like reality….”-USAF Colonel David M. Sullivan, commenting on Obama regime’s claims of no civilians killed in 2011

“America’s actions are legal.”-Barack Obama, May 2013 speech to National Defense University, he was repeatedly interrupted by people wanting to know why GITMO prison was still in operation

“The position of the Government of Pakistan is quite clear. It does not consent to the use of drones by the United States on its territory and it considers this to be a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. As a matter of international law the U.S. drone campaign in Pakistan is…..a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty…….”-The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Statement of the Special Rapporteur following meetings in Pakistan, 19 October 2013

In May 2013, Barack Obama finally admitted that civilians were being killed by drones: “…it is a hard fact that U.S. strikes have resulted in civilian casualties…”

He also stated that he’s not the only one responsible: “….Not only did Congress authorize the use of force, it is briefed on every strike that America takes.  Every strike.”

In the same speech Obama also has these ominous warnings for the people of the United States: “From our use of drones to the detention of terrorist suspects, the decisions that we are making now will define the type of nation, and world, that we leave to our children.

We have to be mindful of James Madison’s warning that ‘No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.’

….we face a real threat from radicalized individuals here in the United States…….Deranged or alienated individuals, often U.S. citizens or legal residents…..

This is the future of terrorism.”

In September 2013, the artist who created Obama’s Hope election campaign art, Shepard Fairey, admitted he has regrets.  TMZ paparazzi asked if there was something he could change, his reply was that he would replace the slogan Hope, with the slogan Drones!

World War 3, African Front: U.S. behind genocide against Nigerian Muslims?

16 October 2013 (02:15 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/24 Mehr 1391/12 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“The United States is invested in Nigeria’s success because Nigeria’s challenges are Africa’s challenges.”-William Burns, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State

“The evidence we’ve gathered suggests that hundreds of people died in military custody in 2013 alone. This is a staggeringly high figure that requires urgent action….”-Lucy Freeman, Amnesty International

Amnesty International says they’ve confirmed reports from earlier this year, and from last year, that Muslim men are being killed in several prison camps in Nigeria.  In the first six months of this year at least 950 men have died, many from suffocation, beatings and starvation.

Officially the people thrown into the camps are called militants by the U.S. backed government. Some reports say men are being rounded up just for being Muslim.

Nigeria is the main focus of U.S. AfriCom, and U.S. and European corporations.

U.S. taxpayers gave the Nigerian government $31.3 million USD, to conduct rigged elections!

U.S. AfriCom trains the military forces of Nigeria.

Black Agenda Reports has connected Obama to Royal Dutch Shell.  In 2010 the United Nations accused Shell of ecocide and genocide in the name of oil.  This was partly based on Shell’s own documentation it provided to the UN.

Amnesty International said the concentration camps are officially known as barracks, and include Giwa and Sector Alpha.

Witnesses told Amnesty that soldiers would also remove prisoners telling them they were going to die.  In April 2013, Amnesty International documented the dumping of 20 emaciated bodies by Nigeria’s U.S. trained Joint Task Force at the State Specialist Hospital mortuary.  Witnesses told Amnesty that such dumping of emaciated bodies, by U.S. trained forces, was a daily occurrence.

The bodies pile up until the morgue is full, then they are taken away by the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency.  I have checked reports on the Borno State Environmental Protection Agency and found that they have been burying people in mass graves since at least 2008!  (is that environmentally protective, or just a military convenience?)

Is this what Obama means by “exceptionalism”?

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 27-30 September 2013: USAF doubles air strikes! Karzai pisses off Hagel! More proof the Great Game continues!

Badakhshan Province: Munjan District, Mujahideen overran the Afghan National Police’s (ANP) district HQ.  ANP officials said they abandoned the HQ to “avoid civilian casualties”.   ANP claim they recaptured their HQ the next day.

Ghazni Province: Deh Yak District, a van full of adults & children ran over a landmine.  Three killed, nine wounded.   In Muqur District, a U.S.-NATO air strike (aka weapons release) killed ten people.

Helmand Province: Marja City, a suicide bomber killed himself and one cop.  Three people wounded.  Two USMC generals were forced to retire early for their lack of competence regarding the September 2012 Muahideen attack on Camp Bastion.  A U.S. Marine investigation concluded that the generals “did not take adequate force protection measures within the range of responses proportionate to the threat”.

Herat Province: Mujahideen attacked a local police marital law check point.  Nine people killed, three wounded.

Kabul Province:  Kabul City, hundreds of protestors demanded the United States get the hell out!  Another report, that despite the war luxury home building is skyrocketing in Kabul City.  Property developers are taking a big risk, pouring millions of dollars into grand mansions.  I wonder where they got the money from?  Many of the homes were built in the hopes foreign occupiers would rent them, so property developers are a little worried about the supposed NATO 2014 pullout.

Kandahar Province: Report that a U.S.-NATO drone “weapons release” killed two people.

Logar Province:  Mohammad Agha District, a local political candidate was assassinated, along with three local teachers.  The district governor was wounded.  Police don’t know who did it.

Maidan Wardak Province: Jalriz District, ISAF confirms that a U.S.-NATO drone “weapons release” killed seven people.

Paktia Province: Report that a U.S.-NATO drone “weapons release” killed three people.

Uruzgan Province: A minibus full of passengers drove over a landmine.  Two people killed, many wounded.

The Afghan Ministry of the Interior claims 14 Mujahideen killed, three wounded and 12 captured in Faryab, Kandahar, Zabul, Uruzgan, Ghazni, Paktiya and Paktika provinces.

The USAF has reported that U.S.-NATO drone and manned aircraft “weapons releases” (air strikes) in the month of September were about double that of August.

The Afghan news media reported that China is pushing President Hamid Karzai to accept a new military pact with the United States.  The bi-lateral agreement is being pushed by the Obama regime as a way of legally keeping U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the 2014 NATO pullout.  Karzai continues to insist he’s in no rush to sign such an agreement.  U.S. Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, is pissed: “I hope we’ll have that agreement by the end of October, because we just can’t move without it.”

In the U.S. state of Oklahoma, the Army National Guard’s 1245th Transportation Company returned home from Afghanistan.  Armed Forces Reserve Center officials said the crowd of civilian/family welcomers was the largest ever.

At the United Nations, several Central Asian countries stated that the U.S. instigated instability in Afghanistan is the real threat to global security.  The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan said it’s all about the Great Game played by western empires, because Central Asia is rich: “The Asian continent is transforming itself into a global power house for the 21st century, with its production of more than 57% of global GDP, and this trend is expected to increase. However, this growth could be jeopardized by an aggravation of existing conflicts, illegal migration, drug trafficking, territorial claims, separatism, religious extremism and terrorism.”-Erlan Idrissov

 

Business/Economics, U.S.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 02 August 2013. More outsourcing! More major health care cuts!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

Arkansas: In Batesville, 60 people lost their jobs with a company called Zila.  The dental company said they had to “restructure”.

California: Families are being put last, as EMQ FamiliesFirst has been revealed to be abusing mentally disabled children in their group homes.  As many as 500 reports to Davis police got the place shut down by the state.  So far 77 employees have been laid off as the home is shut down (but maybe they deserve it).  EMQ says they’re going to sue to get their operating license back.  In Irvine, Felt Bicycles laid off six employees.  The bad economy is being blamed for crashing bike sales.  In Bakersfield, Cay’s Health Foods shut down after 65 years of business.

Connecticut: Prospect Café closed after 48 years in business. The owner wants to retire and property developers have been pestering him to sell his property.

Hawaii: Several former Sizzler restaurants closed down without warning.  The restaurants had been renamed GoKo Steak & Salad Bar.  The company that owned them suddenly declared bankruptcy and laid off 120 employees!

Iowa: After 63 years of business, The Goodnature Store closed down.  The owner says she can no longer compete with “big box” stores.

Maryland: NCO Financial halted their business in Jessup, 86 employees out-o-work.  No explanation was given.

Mississippi: Hancock Medical Center laid off eight people, and cut the hours of the rest of their hourly paid employees.  Hospital officials blamed it on people unable to pay for services and the drastic cuts to Medicaid/Medicare reimbursements with Obama Care.

Missouri: RR Donnelley shut down their Jefferson city operations. 500 people now unemployed!  Company officials blamed the bad economy.

New Jersey: Legal drug pusher, Merck & Co, laid off 113 employees in Kenilworth!  Company officials warned of even more layoffs to come.  It’s blamed on their merger with Schering-Plough.

New York: In NYC, Zynga Mobile closed. 56 people unemployed.  Tax sucker, Lockheed Martin, laid off 139 people! It’s part of their plan to layoff 367 people across the country!

North Carolina: Burt’s Bees closed down.  70 people laid off.

Ohio: Northside Medical Center laid off 77 full time employees. Hospital officials said they were preparing for “health care reforms” (ie Obama Care).

Pennsylvania: Carpenter Technology announced they laid off 43 employees and cut 12 vacant positions.  Company officials said they were dealing with their “costs”.

Puerto Rico: Health insurance giant, Humana Health, laid off 329 employees, or 47% of its staff in the U.S. territory!  Company officials blamed it on the loss of a major contract.

Rhode Island: Naval Station Newport warned of at least 145 layoffs, due to budget cuts!

Tennessee: In Memphis, cereal maker Kellogg laid off 37 more employees.  They laid off 33 employees back in June. The company is moving production to Mexico!

Texas: In Waco, Sterling Administrative Services shut down, laying off 94 people.  In Tyler, heating and air conditioning company, Trane-Ingersoll Rand, laid off 517 employees!  Company officials said they were “seasonal”.

Vermont: Non-profit cancer support center, Forest Moon, closed.  Officials say the bad economy has caused a crash in donations.  Forest Moon had served cancer patients three northeastern states.  Burlington Free Press laid off 13 employees. The bad economy is blamed for crashing newspaper sales.

Washington: Sears Holdings announced they were closing the Puyallup Kmart. 51 jobs lost.

Wisconsin: Gannett newspapers laid off at least seven people.  The bad economy is blamed for crashing newspaper sales.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 24-26 September 2013: More Green on Blue, local U.S. media hides it! U.S. run hospitals actually NAZI killing fields for Afghan victims? U.S. stabs Afghan interpreters in the back! Will Afghanistan kill NATO?

Helmand Province: Lashkargah City, a car bomb exploded.  Not counting the suicide bomber; one cop killed, one cop wounded, four civilians wounded.

Kunduz Province: Khanabad District, local government officials say Mujahideen captured four Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel.

Maidan Wardak Province: Saidabad District, a U.S. airstrike (aka Weapons Release) killed five people.  Provincial government officials say two of those killed were Arabs.

Nangarhar Province: Chaparhar District, a baby girl was born with an almost complete second head!  Two headed children are not as rare as you might think, but successfully removing a second head is.  Doctors said in this case they were successful.

Paktia Province: A U.S. Army Staff Sergeant from Pennsylvania was killed.  Reports are confusing; local Pennsylvania news media has led the people of Milton to believe he was killed in combat, but in reality he was killed by a “Green on Blue” attack by Afghan government military/police personnel (aka National Security Forces).  Another U.S. troop was wounded.  The shooter from the Afghan government was killed.

The Afghan Ministry of the Interior claims 49 Mujahideen killed in police and army ops in the provinces of Helmand, Farah, Herat, Logar, Uruzgan, Zabul, Kandahar, Balkh, Badakhshan and Kunduz.  Eight Mujahideen wounded, 11 captured.

Pakistan says another artillery rocket attack was launched against them, from Afghanistan.  Two people killed, one wounded.

The U.S. Department of State has been quietly revoking travel visas issued to Afghan interpreters working for the U.S. Department of Defense.  Many interpreters have been applying for Special Immigrant status so they can move their families to the U.S. after the supposed 2014 NATO pullout, because it is common knowledge they and their families will be assassinated for helping U.S. forces.  But, suddenly the Obama regime State Department began revoking those visas.  Is this a stab in the back or is it more proof the U.S. is not leaving Afghanistan?

U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Caldwell, and Major General Gary Patton, are accused of blocking investigations into corruption and abuse at U.S. Army run Afghan hospitals.  This includes the intentional starvation of Afghan patients!  The investigation into the goings on at Dawood National Military Hospital began back in 2011.  The Joseph Mengele (NAZI doctor aka Angel of Death) like conditions of the hospital were revealed in 2011 when an inspector general released his inspection results without the customary notification to generals Caldwell and Patton.  It turns out the two generals had been blocking previous inspection results from public release!  This means the hospital was probably a U.S. run death camp for years prior.

Ignorant U.S. Army Lieutenant General, Mark Milley, recently stated the U.S. presence in Afghanistan was being reduced “…because of the society fundamentals that have changed…”.  Really?  Was he talking about society fundamentals of Afghanistan or the United States?

The U.S. Department of Defense announced the deployment of about 75-hundred to 8-thousand U.S. Army troops to Afghanistan, to take place in October.

U.S. Senator Mark Kirk, from Illinois, revealed that the United States is trying to hand over military control of Afghanistan to India: “I have long felt that the best way out of Afghanistan is through New Delhi, is to have a military alliance with India that we encourage India to roll into Afghanistan….”

In New York, U.S.A., a U.S. citizen was found guilty of trying to sell weapons, including guided missiles, to Mujahideen.  He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.  However, the federal trial was a sham.  It was only two weeks long and did not involve a jury (called a Bench Trial)!  It was part of a sting operation set up by U.S. government.  Sting operations are government set ups of people who normally wouldn’t have committed such crimes on their own.  At least five other people are being railroaded.

The Washington Times reports that the U.S. Army’s cyber intell ops in Afghanistan are so open to hackers that the DoD has given it 60 days to fix or replace the system.  Specifically, the Distributed Common Ground System (aka D-sigs, DCGS) failed a readiness test.  The warning on the cyber intell system’s failure was issued on 05 September by U.S. Command in Kabul, and made public by The Washington Times on 24 September.

According to the Fiscal Times, the high cost of U.S. led NATO operations in Afghanistan, and the bad economies of most NATO members, will kill the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.  Currently, only three NATO members are meeting their payment requirements for membership: United Kingdom, United States and Greece.

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 21-23 September 2013: Karzai continues pointing finger at Obama regime! False Flag Alert: Drugs used to turn people into suicide bombers!

“In past 24 hours, Afghan National Police backed by the national army and the NATO-led coalition forces have conducted a series of operations in Kunar, Kapisa, Zabul, Uruzgan, Maidan Wardak, Logar, Paktika and Herat provinces, which left 46 armed Taliban dead.”-Interior Ministry of Afghanistan

Badakhstan Province: In Wardooj District, Mujahideen released seven captured Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel.  It’s not known what happened to the other ANA soldiers that were captured, originally the Mujahideen said the soldiers willingly joined them.

Balkh Province: In Chahar Bolok District, an explosion killed five people and wounded eight.  Witnesses say it was a suicide bomber.  In Zherai District, reports that a cop attacked his fellow cops.  At least one cop killed.

Farah Province: In Farah Rod District, government Israeli style home invasions resulted in 12 people, including a religious leader, being kidnapped.  One villager was shot and wounded.

Kandahar Province: In Shorabak District, Mujahideen attacked border police, leaving 11 dead.  Mujahideen claim they killed 16.

Kabul Province: ISAF reported two Romanian NATO soldiers were killed by explosion and gun shots in eastern Afghanistan. One of the Romanians was on his second tour.

Kapisa Province: In Nijrab District, the Afghan Interior Ministry claims 11 Mujahideen were killed in battle.  24 Mujahideen wounded.

Kunduz Province: In Chahar Dara District, a local National Directorate of Security (Homeland Security) agent was assassinated.  This is the second assassination of a government official, and police say they still don’t know who’s doing it.  However, Mujahideen claim credit for the assassinations.  In the same district an Israeli style home invasion by government forces resulted in one person being kidnapped.

Kunar Province: In Ghaziabad District a U.S.-NATO drone strike killed one man.  Afghan government officials say the man was a Mujahideen commander.  However, independent reports say at least four people were killed.

Paktia Province: In Gardez city, a Colorado National Guard Special Forces Staff Sergeant, and a Rhode Island National Guard Staff Sergeant (but resident of New Jersey), and one Specialist from California were killed by an Afghan government troop.  The Colorado Guardsman was already recovering from a previous combat wound, and was one month away from the end of his enlistment.  Also, reports that a U.S.-NATO recon drone crashed.  Mujahideen did not claim they shot it down, but confirmed a drone crashed and burned.

Zabul Province: People protested yet another U.S. led killing of civilians.  They claim U.S.-NATO forces killed two people in Shahjoi District.  One report said 10-thousand people packed the streets of Shahjoi District bazaar, protesting the U.S. occupation.

President Hamid Karzai continues to insist that terrorism is coming from outside Afghanistan.  He continues to imply it is being supported by countries like the United States, it’s the main reason he is holding off on signing a military pact with the Obama regime: “We have an appropriate analysis of the current situation of Afghanistan, and we know who are involved behind plotting destruction of Afghanistan, and those who are sending suicide bombers to Afghanistan.”

Afghan security officials say in recent interrogations of captured attempted suicide bombers, it’s been revealed that people are being drugged with Selective Serotonin Receptor Inhibitors and/or opium, then abused psychologically and physically.  A captured potential suicide bomber says people are drugged up to the point of passing out.  These drugs are the similar to those prescribed to mass shooters in the United States!

Russian officials say the opium drug industry in Afghanistan is surprisingly well managed, under the U.S. occupation.  Russian investigators have discovered huge stockpiles of illegal drugs in Afghanistan: “Around 40,000 tons of opiates are already stored there. So, in fact, they have reached saturation point.”-Viktor Ivanov, Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service

Former Taliban political party finance minister, Mullah Agha Jan Motasim, says what is happening in Afghanistan is the fault of the occupiers, and the invaders have made peace impossible: “The international community bears responsibility for this……After all the bloodletting, we would have to work with people we are fighting.”

ISAF revealed that after the supposed 2014 pullout, the military occupation now known as Operation Enduring Freedom will continue under the title Operation Resolute Support.
