World War 3: U.S. Bagram airbase hit by missile attack, excuse for war with Iran?

Taliban (Mujahideen) confirm missile attacks on Bagram.  The Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan states that Bagram air base has been attacked with missiles at least three times in the past 24 hours.  At least four missiles (unguided rockets?), from overnight attacks, landed within the base compound.  They claim attacks are continuing.

Breaking news reports out of Afghanistan say the Taliban hit the U.S. controlled Bagram air base with at least nine missiles.  Some reports say the attacks took place on New Year’s Eve (western Gregorian calender), as U.S. personnel were celebrating the coming New Year.

Some Afghan government officials say their sources confirm the attacks, but there are no casualties reported.

There’s been no clarification if the attacks were done with guided missiles, or unguided rockets.  Some Taliban sources say they were long range missiles.

Bagram is located in Parwan (aka Parvan) Province, in northwestern Afghanistan.  Ever since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, Bagram has been the target of many attacks.

Reports say there are many casualties from the latest attacks.  Already there is internet chatter that this might be used by the United States to launch an all out war with Iran.  The U.S. government has ignorantly claimed that the Taliban are linked to Iran (it’s ignorant because the Taliban and the Iranian’s are mortal enemies). Also, all U.S. military bases in the Middle East are within range of Iran’s growing missile systems.

Also, on December 27, 2011, Taliban claimed they launched two missiles at Bagram, with no casualties effected.

World War 3 & One World Government: 12 Warning signs from Argentine Political Analyst

The following warning signs came from Adrian Salbuchi, a political analyst in Argentina.

1) Financial Meltdown. Since 2008, the Global Financial System continues on life-support. Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner and the US economic hit team – Robert Rubin, Larry Summers and Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, JPMorganChase mega-bankers working with the Bank of England and the European Central Bank – have not and will not take any measures to help the populace and ailing economies.  They just funnel trillions to the banking elite, imposing the media myth that certain banks are “too big to fail” (Orwellian Newspeak for “too damn powerful to fail”). Why? Because it’s not governments overseeing, supervising and controlling Goldman Sachs, CitiCorp, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, JPMorganChase, but exactly the other way around…

2) Economic Crises.  Today, “Destructive Extreme Capitalism” [like Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital] is collapsing national and regional economies, reformatting them into international slave-labour Gulag-like entities that Joseph Stalin would envy.   Our woes lie not with the world’s real economy (mostly intact), but with the fake world of finance, banks, and speculation;

3) Social Upheavals.  Meltdowns in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Iceland and – soon to come – Italy, Spain and others, trigger violent social uprisings, even in the US and UK;

4) Pandemics.  Get ready for more “flu surprises” leading to mandatory vaccinations: a discreet opportunity to slip RFID chips into our bodies and test “intelligent viruses” targeting specific DNA strains.  Racially and ethnically selective viruses as part of mass depopulation campaigns?

5) Global Warming. As the global economy sinks into zero growth mode, economic drivers shift from growth expansion to consumption contraction. Will coming “carbon credits” open the path to full societal control?

6) Terrorist “False Flag” Mega-Attacks. The Elite have this wildcard up their sleeve to jump-start new “crises” as short-cuts towards world government.  Will new “attacks” dwarfing 9/11 justify further global wars, invasions and genocide?  A nuclear weapon over a major city to be blamed on the Elite’s “enemies”?

7) Generalized War in the Middle East. As we speak, naval forces, bombers, entire armies are poised to attack and invade Syria, Iran…

8) Ecological/Environmental “Accidents”. The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident sparked the beginning of the end of the former USSR by showing the world and the Soviets themselves that their State could no longer manage their own nuclear facilities.  April 2010 saw the BP “Deepwater Horizon” oil rig eco-catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico; since March 2011, Japan and the world have been grappling with a much larger nuclear accident in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex.  Was foul play involved?

9) Assassination of a major political or religious figure to be blamed on an Elite enemy.  Mossad, CIA, MI6 are really good at playing this type of dirty trick;

10) Attacks on “Rogue States” – Iraq, Libya… Who’s next? Iran? Syria?  Venezuela?  North Korea?

11) Staged “Religious” Event. The growing need of the masses for meaning in their lives makes them easy victims of a Hollywood-staged, 3D virtual reality hologram show, orchestrating a “second coming”.  An electronically engineered “messianic figure” acting in sync with Elite global objectives?   Who would dare go against God himself?

12) Staged “Alien Contact.” This too may be in the works.  For decades, large sectors of world population have been programmed to believe in aliens.  Here too, hologram technology could stage a “space vehicle landing” – on the White House lawn, of course – highlighting the “need” for Mankind to have “unified representation” in the face of extraterrestrials.  Further justification for world government?

Pacific Ring of Fire: First big quake of 2012 hits Japan, magnitude 7

Japan’s Meteorological Agency says a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit near the Torishima Island in the Pacific Ocean.

The tremors were felt from Tokyo up to Fukushima, on Honshu, and felt in the southern part of Hokkaido.  On the land the quake registered as a 4 magnitude using the Japanese quake scale.

So far no damage reported, and no fears of tsunami.

Government Incompetence or Coverup: Birds fall dead from the sky, for the second New Year’s Eve in a row, officials still blame fireworks

“If it is fireworks, why was last year the first year it has ever happened? It is something else.”-@Shebalynnx

For the second New Year’s Eve in a row, blackbirds have fallen dead from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas.

Last year the mass death of birds were blamed on fireworks.  But this year the local police banned fireworks use on New Year’s Eve, and yet they’re still blaming fireworks for the new deaths.

Here’s the problem with blaming fireworks: Much more fireworks are used around July 4, than on New Year’s Eve, yet no mass die off of birds around July 4???  Also, as one commenter pointed out, why hasn’t it happened more often?

One commenter on a local Arkansas news site said his magnetic compass went crazy New Year’s Eve: “fire works going off ALL night and all day – no problems! There were more 500 LIVE ones in our yard this morning. BUT when the birds started dying, I had my compass out – it went crazy – spinning and unable to find north – it did this at two different times tonight – so fireworks messed up the compass??? It is not the fireworks!”-Al

There are also reports that local TV weather personnel said weather radar returns showed a large mass over Beebe, Arkansas, about the time the birds fell out of the sky.

NAZI-land & the United Police States of America: Obama signs National Defense Act, now U.S. military can be used as police forces within the U.S., you could go to prison for life just for being suspected of being a terrorist, all in the name of National Security

“If you’re an American citizen and you want to help…destroy your own country, here is what’s coming your way.”- Lindsey Graham, U.S. Senator from South Carolina

January 1, 2012, welcome to the new NAZI-land: The United Police States of America!  On December 31, President Barack Obama (the BS Peace Prize winner) quietly signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.

“This is a giant step, this should be the biggest news going right now, literally legalizing martial law…This is big. This step where they can literally arrest American citizens and put them away without trial….is arrogant and bold and dangerous.”–Ron Paul, U.S. Representative for Texas

The 2012 Defense Act gives the President of the U.S. (regardless of who is President) the authority to use active duty military forces to police the United States, in the name of fulfilling the September 18, 2001, Authorization for Use of Military Force law.  That law, signed by former President Bush Jr, was essentially a Congressional order given to the office of the President to conduct a War on Terror, after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

So, this new Defense Act not only provides the Defense Department with more than $600 billion in taxpayer dollars, but it expands the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force law to inside the United States.

It would “…permit the federal government to indefinitely detain American citizens on American soil, without  charge or trial, at the discretion of the President.”-Justin Amash, U.S. Representative from Michigan, one of five House Republicans who voted against the bill

It allows the government to imprison anyone that is suspected of being a terrorist, indefinitely, without being charged or tried in a court of law!  The clause in the new law is the old fail safe for control freak elitists who run this country: “National Security”.

President Obama (a graduate of Harvard Law School) claims he will not use the new law in an arbitrary way: “…I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.”

Happy New Year!

Some Hope for 2012: East Idaho finally gets its first two Carl’s Jr! Part of 51 store expansion!!!

December 31, 2011, and I just ate at the first Carl’s Jr burger joint in eastern Idaho! Love those Western Bacon Cheeseburgers (been eating them since the early 1980s!), and those luscious teriyaki burgers!

No more finding excuses to travel more than an hour to get Carl’s Jr.  Although I still have to drive 45 minutes to Idaho Falls, but pretty soon, I hope, there’s gonna be Carl’s Jr in the Pocatello area.  That’s according to a 2008 press release.

New Carl's Jr Resturant, Grand Teton Mall, Idaho Falls

One of the new east Idaho Carl’s Jr is located in the Grand Teton Mall parking lot, across from the Barnes & Noble.

There is a second Carl’s Jr in Idaho Falls, located at the intersection of Holmes and Northgate mile. I think they were a little overwhelmed; they were out of large size cups, and they just ran out of five dollar bills on the day I tried them out.

According to a 2008 press release eastern and southeastern Idaho will get five more Carl’s Jr by 2014.  The new restaurants will be spread from Pocatello to Idaho Falls.

Carl's Jr, Idaho Falls, Idaho

The new restaurants are part of a huge expansion by California based Carl’s Jr.  In December, 2008, Carl Karcher Enterprises announced they signed franchise deals for 51 new stores!  Those new stores will be concentrated in Nevada and Idaho.

East and southeast Idaho will get a total of six restaurants, southern Idaho (Twin Falls area) will get three, and the Boise area (southwest Idaho) will get three more on top of the stores already there.

I noticed east Idaho’s local media paid no head to the new Carl’s Jr, but was all over the new Chick-fil-A (I’ve eaten at a Chick-fil-A in Georgia, never again).

Mmmm, how many Chick-fil-A stores will open in east Idaho, oh just the one in Ammon? (I checked Chick-fil-A’s list of future store openings) Lets see, Carl’s Jr opening a total of six stores in east and southeast Idaho (as well as new stores in south and southwest Idaho), I can see who’s gonna be helping the local economy more.

(By the way you can print off coupons from the Carl’s Jr website)

What Economic Recovery? Foreign banks dumping U.S. Treasury Bonds

Late on December 30, the U.S. Treasury announced that the dumping of U.S. bonds, by foreign banks, continues and is accelerating.

Back in September the Treasury revealed a $56 billion drop in U.S. Treasury holdings by foreign banks, resulting in a 10 year yield of only 1.67%, the lowest yield since 1945!

Now, for December, an even bigger drop, by $69 billion!!! The result is that the 10 year yield on U.S. Treasuries ended 2011 below 1.9%.

Treasury Department officials also admitted that if it wasn’t for Japan buying up U.S. dollars and other Treasury securities (in August and October), the drop in 2011 foreign holdings would be even bigger!

And this despite the Treasury’s attempt to increase sales through their Operation Twist.  Operation Twist basically exchanges long term bonds for shorter term bonds.

H5N1 kills Chinese bus driver, officials trying to find out how he got infected

Just a week after Hong Kong officials culled more than 17,000 poultry, a bus driver in China has died from H5N1 (bird flu).

The killing of tens of thousands of birds in Hong Kong was prompted after just one chicken died from H5N1. Now Hong Kong officials say a second bird has died from H5N1.

During that same week, a bus driver in China became ill and was put in the hospital for possible pneumonia.  Tests showed he had H5N1.  The 39 year old man died, December 31, 2011.

Officials in China are concerned because the man had no contact with birds.  No one else, who’s been in contact with the man, has developed symptoms.  The World Health Organization says H5N1 has a 60% mortality rate among humans (and they’re not talking about the genetically modified H5N1 that your taxpayer dollars were spent on developing).

Corporate Incompetence: Voting with your wallet works; Verizon reverses $2 fee, GoDaddy does one eighty on SOPA

A day after announcing a $2 one time bill payment credit/debit card fee, Verizon reversed course after being flooded with thousands of complaints, and threats to cancel service.

However, Verizon officials are keeping such a fee in mind for the future: “At Verizon, we take great care to listen to our customers. Based on their input, we believe the best path forward is to encourage customers to take advantage of the best and most efficient options, eliminating the need to institute the fee at this time.”– Dan Mead, Verizon CEO

GoDaddy has been losing domain names ever since it voiced support for SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).  According to one source, 32,000 websites, in 36 hours, were transferred away from GoDaddy’s service. Keep in mind GoDaddy lost thousands of domain names even after they publicly reversed course, now officially opposing SOPA!

One reason that GoDaddy is still losing customers is because it’s involved in rogue website/domain lawsuits, in which federal courts have been using GoDaddy to hold web sites that’re being challenged in court.  Most of those sites are being transferred, by court order, from Google and Yahoo to GoDaddy.  In many of these cases the accused never have their day in U.S. courts because they live in another country.

The lesson is that consumers, like voters, must never let their guard down.  Corporate America is not working for your best interest, they’re working for their best interest.

World War 3: Egyptian police discover evidence of U.S. plot to destabilize their country, pro-U.S. Egyptian Army interferes

“The Secretary expressed his deep concern about the raids that took place on December 29 on the offices of American and other NGOs.”–George Little, Pentagon

On December 29, Egyptian police and court officials raided several non-governmental organizations (NGO), many supported with taxpayer dollars from the United States, on grounds they’ve been funding civil unrest in Egypt.

However, Egypt’s pro-U.S. military government stopped the raids after getting phone calls from U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson.

“…all international NGOs, including those that receive U.S. government support, (to) be able to return to normal operations as soon as possible…”-Victoria Nuland, U.S. State Department

The military government of Egypt has demonstrated they are the puppet of the United States, by their quick kowtowing to U.S. demands concerning U.S. taxpayer funded NGOs.
