Government Incompetence: Stolen Laptop had critical Command Codes, 5,408 computer ‘incidents’ from 2010 through 2011, cost taxpayers $7 million

On March 1, 2012, NASA officials admitted to a congressional panel, that they lost critical command codes for the International Space Station!

The codes were stored on a laptop computer, which was stolen last year!

The admission came from NASA’s Inspector General, Paul Martin, in a written statement. NASA experienced more than 5,000 computer security breeches, just in the last year!

NASA also admitted that from 2009 to 2011, 48 mobile computers were lost or stolen!  The cost to U.S. taxpayers, for the lax computer security at NASA, is estimated at $7 million!

Finally, U.S. officials putting the blame for 9/11 on Saudi Arabia! I’ve been saying that for years!

“Finally someone who knows some of the truth about 9/11 is standing up and saying ‘wait a minute, we didn’t give those guys the all clear’ as Saudi Arabia has been saying for several years. Exonerated, I don’t think so!”-Sharon Premoli, Justice Against Terrorism

“I am convinced that there was a direct line between at least some of the terrorists who carried out the September 11th attacks and the government of Saudi Arabia.…further attention and investigation concerns the involvement of Saudi based charities in the provision of financial and other support to al Qaeda, and the precise character of the relationships between those charities and the government of the Kingdom.”–Bob Graham, former U.S. Senator from Florida, and former chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on 9/11

“Significant questions remain unanswered concerning the possible involvement of Saudi government institutions and actors in the financing and sponsorship of al Qaeda.”–Bob Kerrey, former U.S. Senator from Nebraska, and former member of National Commission on Terrorist Acts Upon the United States (aka 9/11 Commission)

Fact: Not one Afghan or Iraqi was involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, yet the people of Afghanistan and Iraq have been the bloody whipping boys/girls for the blood lust vengeance seeking people of the U.S.

Fact: The accused 9/11 attackers came from Saudi Arabia (15), United Arab Emirates (2), Egypt (1) and Lebanon (1).

The bin Laden family is from the Arabian Peninsula, not Iraq, not Afghanistan!  The October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole was done by people from the Arabian Peninsula (it actually took place on the Arabian Peninsula).  Yet, a Federal judge, under the Bush Jr administration, ruled that the African country Sudan was to blame!

It’s obvious that those who’ve been attacking the United States are from the Arab Peninsula (mainly Saudi Arabia), yet we don’t dare attack them. Why? Because they’re part of the petrodollar beast that was created back in 1973!!!

Red Horse & World War 3: Pro-U.S. Syrian rebels arbitrarily killing people

“They kill both young and old. They steal people from their homes and chop them into pieces, put them in plastic bags and throw them out!”-‘Galina’, witness

Refugees from Homs are reporting that U.S./European supported Syrian rebels are arbitrarily killing people as they try to flee the violence.

Witnesses also say that some of the ‘rebels’ are actually soldiers, or mercenaries, from France, Lebanon and Tunisia!

Some refugees are saying that Syrian Christians are being targeted.

Reports say the U.S./European supported Syrian rebel forces destroyed water and electric power stations in Homs.  Why would you need to do that if you’re simply trying to replace one government with a, supposedly, more people friendly government?

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.

World War 3: Protestors in Saudi Arabia blow up major oil pipeline. Get ready for higher gas prices!

Anti-U.S. demonstrators have blown up a major oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia.

The anti-U.S./Saudi regime movement has been building since the beginning of 2011, yet ignored by the mainstream U.S. media (which has focused only on Libya and Syria)!

The pipeline is near the city of Awamiyah (Al-Awamia).  The city has seen increased protests, and increased brutality by the pro-U.S. Saudi regime.  Yet, no mention by U.S. media, or U.S. officials!

Since the beginning of February 2012, dozens of protestors have been arrested, and several killed. Awamiyah is a port city, on the Persian Gulf.  It is a famous tomato growing area, but is surrounded by oil pipelines.  More than 2 million barrels of oil pass through the area everyday!

Political Incompetence: Obama says his Apoplogy to Afghans have improved relations with Afghanistan!

In a clear case of being out of touch, U.S. President Barack Obama said, in an interview with ABC News: “We’ve been there over a decade now, and that creates strains…”

No shit sherlock, can you say we invaded and that alone creates “strains”?  How would you like it if your country was invaded?

Obama said the reason for his, and USMC General John Allen’s apology, was to “…save lives…” of U.S. troops.  He was then questioned whether it has improved the situation in Afghanistan and he responded: “It calmed things down…”

Where does Obama keep his head?

World War 3: Afghan Bank blown up, Karzai frees dozens of prisoners in Kandahar

On February 29, 2012, in Takhar Province, a vehicle belonging to a bank in the city of Taloqan exploded.  At least 13 civilians were wounded.

The “Taliban” have not claimed responsibility, which is not normal as they usually claim responsibility right away, if they did it.  Officials with the city of Taloqan said a bomb was attached to the bank vehicle.

On February 28, Afghan President Hamid Karzai ordered the release of 27 prisoners in Kandahar Province.  Those released include teenagers and women.  Karzai also shortened the sentences for 143 other prisoners in Kandahar.

One reporter said Afghans are being arbitrarily arrested, in U.S. NDAA 2012 style: “Hundreds of Afghans are serving in the central jail ….without having a specific charge against them and their cases are not properly followed.”-Javid Ahmad Tanveer

The climate is so bad in Kandahar’s prisons that several prisoners escaped by digging their way out, last year.

U.S. supported corruption in Afghanistan, Courts convict 60 Afghan judges, another 1,000 suspects

March 1, 2012, the Supreme Court of Afghanistan announced that 60 former judges were convicted on corruption charges.  The majority worked in Kabul, and took bribes.

Another 1,000 people are under investigation for corruption! Those people do not work for the Afghan court system, but they acted as go betweens for the bribing of judges.

In 2011, several U.S. court cases showed that most of the corruption in Afghanistan, involving contractors, was instigated by U.S. forces who oversaw the funding of those contractors.

World War 3: Firefight between Afghan & U.S. forces in Kandahar!

March 1, 2012, Afghan media reports say the attack on a U.S./NATO/ISAF base in Kandahar was a full blown firefight!

Quoting local officials, Afghan media says the battle started at 03:00 (that’s 3am for those who don’t understand 24 hour time clocks), in Zherai district.

According to Zherai district official, Niyaz Mohammad Sarhadi, not only were two U.S. troops killed, but two Afghan soldiers were killed, and another wounded.

The attack seemed to be spontaneously started when one Afghan soldier started shooting at U.S. troops.  Other Afghans joined in.  U.S./NATO/ISAF forces fired back.

World War 3: Afghan police and civilians killed in bombing, new “Taliban” actually from Central Asia

February 29, 2012, in northern Faryab Province, at least two Afghan police and three civilians were killed in an explosion.

Local officials blame “Taliban”, but so far no comment from Taliban sources (which is not normal, they usually claim responsibility right away, if they did it).

In January 2011, Afghan government forces claimed they gained control of Faryab Province.  Recently a report said that many of the insurgent “Taliban”, in northern Afghanistan, were actually people from Central Asian countries!

In Takhar Province, U.S./NATO/ISAF officials said the insurgent “Taliban” there were actually part of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan group.

On March 1, 2012, in Panjshir Province 13 Afghan police were wounded when a gas cylinder exploded.
