World War 3: More suicide attacks on NATO, Afghan official assasinated, new Pakistan offensive

On March 2, 2012, in Dund district of southern Kandahar Province, a suicide car bomber attacked a NATO convoy.

At least four U.S./NATO/ISAF forces, one Afghan police officer, an Afghan civilian and and Afghan interpreter were wounded.  The “Taliban” immediately claimed responsibility (as I’ve said before, those attacks where no one claims responsibility are suspicious), and claimed that 15 U.S. led forces were killed.

In the city of Tarinkowt, in southern Uruzgan Province, unknown militants assassinated the local Afghan Intelligence official.  “Taliban” are not claiming this one.

In another incident, in which the “Taliban” are not commenting on, a man was arrested as he was heading to Kandahar.  He’s accused of supplying weapons for a planned attack against Afghan government forces.

And despite the ignorant U.S. media, which spreads the lies that Pakistan isn’t doing enough to help fight the War on Terror, Pakistan has launched a new offensive in the Kyber region.  Already there are 10 dead Pakistani forces,and 23 dead “Taliban” militants, after an early morning firefight on March 2, 2012!

World War 3: U.S. civilian doctors about to head to Afghanistan, to help Afghans devastated by 30+ years of U.S. inspired war!

“I expect to see very extensive injuries. I expect to see burn injuries, burn injuries that have gone on to heal inappropriately.”-Louis Riima, Nassau County Burn Unit

Doctors in New York are joining a mission to help Afghans who’ve been horribly wounded, no thanks to the 10 plus years of occupation by the United States (and more than 30 years of war instigated by the U.S.).

The mission is headed by a group called Mission: Restore.

“Afghanistan is a country of 29 million people with over 30 years of continuous war and devastation.  Of those 29 million, there are only 2 self-trained plastic surgeons who are practicing in the capital of Kabul.  Afghanistan ranks as the least developed country in the eastern hemisphere and in need of serious infrastructure and health service development.”-Mission: Restore

Keep in mind that the 30 plus years of “war and devastation” is the fault of the United States.  Former U.S. National Security Advisor, and Trilateral Commission co-founder, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, admitted that it was U.S. foreign policy that got the Soviet Union to invade in 1979!

World War 3: No trial for 5 U.S. soldiers who burned dozens of Qur’ans! Anti-U.S. riots spreading, U.S. & Italy transfers intellegence equipment to FOB Buji

Five U.S. soldiers, accused of burning dozens of Qur’ans in Afghanistan, will not go on trial.

“For the soldiers, it will be serious, they could lose rank. But you’re not going to see the kind of public trial that some here seem to want.”-unnamed U.S. military source

In Pakistan, hundreds are protesting the burning of the Qur’ans.  This while Pakistan’s government launches a new wave of attacks against Pakistani “Taliban”.

Also, a suicide bomber in Pakistan killed at least 23 people.  That attack was reportedly a result of infighting among the Pakistani “Taliban”.

In Yemen, protestors rallying against the burning of the Qur’ans in Afghanistan, were hit by a bomb.  The explosion occurred in Sa’ada Province, an anti-U.S. rebel stronghold.  22 people were wounded.

According to the 438th Air Expeditionary Wing, the United States has been transferring intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems from Shindand Air Base to the small Forward Operating Base (FOB) of Buji.

The operation began back in February.  It involves the 838th Air Expeditionary Advisory Group, U.S. Army Task Forces Griffin, Center and Spearhead, and the Italian army.

Buji is a desolate location. High dry desert. It is northeast of Kandahar, about halfway between Herat and Kandahar on the A1 highway.

What Economic Recovery? Idaho will lose hoped for Nuclear Industry jobs, Areva loses $3.2 billion!

French nuclear industry giant, Areva, announced record losses on March 2, 2012.  They lost U.S.$3.2 billion!!!

The loss is directly tied to it’s incompetent African uranium mining operation (which looks like they bought a pig in a poke).  The French government is investigating, because Areva is actually a French government corporation, and they used taxpayer money to buy the pig in a poke mine!

Also, since the March 11, 2011, nuclear disaster in Japan, which has resulted in about 90% of their nuclear plants shut down, orders for fuel rods made by Areva have crashed!

Also, Germany’s decision to end the use of nuclear power plants will result in 1,500 Areva employees losing their jobs in that country.

On February 28, 2012, Areva announced it was “indefinitely” suspending its planned uranium enrichment project in Eastern Idaho.  Its called the Eagle Rock project.  Local contractors were notified in writing about the suspension.

Areva is trying to get money from the U.S. government. They were trying for at least $3 billion, but now, with such huge losses that won’t be enough!

Eastern Idaho is desperate for good paying jobs, and a lot of hopes were riding on the Eagle Rock project.

What Economic Recovery: City desperate for cash approves Marijuana farming

A city, trying to deal with more than 20% unemployment, has turned to allowing  cannabis for cash!

So far there’s no comment from the federal government, that’s because in this country growing pot is legal (within limits).

The country is Spain!  Officials with the city of Rasquera, in Catalonia, have signed a deal that’s estimated to bring in U.S. $1.6 million to their local economy!

But it’s not just marijuana: ”The produce will only go to members of the association and it won’t all be cannabis. There will be crop rotation with cereal and sugar beet.”-Bernat Pellisa, Mayor of Rasquera

The deal will make Rasquera the largest legal pot growing area in all Europe!

Red Horse & World War 3: Red Cross finally able to help people in Syria, blame the pro-U.S. Rebels

“…did get ambulances through to take the injured journalists out of Homs, and it was actually the Free Syrian Army who refused to let the journalists leave.”-Aisling Byrne, Conflicts Forum

After three weeks of intense fighting, the International Red Cross is finally able to help people in the Baba Amr district of Homs.  Don’t blame the Syrian Army, blame the goddamn U.S./Israeli supported Free Syrian Army rebel fighters!!!

The Red Cross, working with the Red Crescent, said they found at least 100 bodies that showed signs of being tortured!  Hello, the same U.S. supported bullshit is still happening in “liberated” Libya (and Iraq, and Afghanistan)!

Red Cross and Red Crescent are bringing in food, water and clothing, after the U.S./Israeli supported Free Syrian Army destroyed access to such, and was actually killing any civilian that tried to leave their homes!

This ain’t about “liberation”, or “freedom” or “democracy”, it’s about: Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.  It’s also about the huge Leviathan petroleum field recently found in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Red Horse & World War 3: Reporters killed by Pro-U.S. Rebels in Syria, bodies found after Syrian troops re-take city

The bodies of two journalists, one U.S., the other French, were found by Syrian forces after they re-took the Baba Amr district of Homs.

The Syrian Red Crescent, and the International Red Cross, had made several attempts to recover the bodies, while the rebels were in control of the district, but the rebels shot at them every time.

The bodies will now undergo DNA testing, before being handed over to their respective governments.

Ever since the U.S. led War on Terror started hundreds of journalists have been killed.  The overwhelming majority have been killed by U.S., or U.S. supported forces!

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.

Red Horse & World War 3: Racist Pro-U.S. Libyan Rebels put Black people in Zoo, force fed flags, caught on video! Obama shows true colors? Portent of things to come in the U.S.?

“Eat the flag, you dog. Patience you dog, patience. God is Great!”-voice of Pro-U.S. Libyan Rebel on video

Some much for freakin’ freedom!  A video shows non-Black Libyan Rebels, supported by the United States and Europe, forcing Black people to eat the old green Libyan flag, while locked in a zoo!

You need to watch the video, ’cause this is what’s coming for the United States!!!  And no, do not blame Islam!  Blame your freakin’ lying ass Elitist Christian Republican/Democrat controlled Corporate America government!!!   Realize that every country that the United States has been involved in “liberating” has degenerated into this bullcrap!!!

Remember the video’s of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, when they were killed.  The same MO of humiliation!  This is not Islam!  In fact, in the video of Gaddafi’s murder he is saying, over and over, “Muslims do not do this.”

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.
