The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) discovered that Afghanistan has taxed 43 U.S. contractors to the tune of $921 million USD.  SIGAR says the tax is “illegitimate” under current agreements, and is just the tip of the iceberg.

The United States has once again thrown its support behind the artificial border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.  All Afghan leaders have stated they will not accept the British empire imposed Durand Line border.  Most of western Pakistan actually belongs to Afghanistan. The evil Red Coats arbitrarily drew the line in 1893, to separate India from Afghanistan.  It was later used, by the British, to create the new country of Pakistan.

Currently there are 1 million Afghans living in Iran, legally.  There is an estimated 1.4 million Afghans illegally in Iran, and Iranians are getting tired of the seeming daily flood of Afghans fleeing the supposedly U.S. liberated and stabilized country of Afghanistan.  In 2012 Iranian border cops allegedly killed 23 Afghans trying to enter Iran illegally.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is pledging more of Germany’s tax money to Afghanistan.  It’s part of a post-2014 military pact, however Merkel claims the tax money will be issued only if certain ‘democratic’ goals are met.

The World Bank gives Afghanistan even more money.  A $55 million USD grant for vocational education.

According to industry group Professional Overseas Contractors, the 2014 pullout might see U.S. military personnel leave, but they will be replaced with thousands of contracted security forces (mercenaries).  The effective result will be continued U.S. military presence: “It’s a de facto army, a de facto military presence there. They are a de facto logistic and supply chain. We’re going to be relying on contractors across the board. They will be doing all of the things that go into nation building.”-Malou Innocent, Cato Institute

It was also revealed that U.S. taxpayers are spending hundreds of billions of dollars every year on government contractors.

The director of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) says the Obama administration is trying to silence SIGAR’s investigations into U.S. corruption in Afghanistan: “Over the last 10 months, I have been criticized by some bureaucrats for not pre-clearing my press releases with them, for not letting them edit the titles of my audits, for talking too much to Congress, for talking too much to the press.…basically, for not being a ‘team player’ and undermining ‘our country’s mission in Afghanistan.’”-John Sopko

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed the U.S. led ISAF/NATO mission in Afghanistan: “There are all grounds to believe that we may face an escalation of the situation in Afghanistan in the short term. The foreign military contingent, whose backbone is American forces, has not achieved a breakthrough in the fight against terrorist and radical groups as yet. On the contrary, their [Mujahideen] activity has been particularly increasing lately…”

Putin also said it’s suspicious that illegal drug production is gaining momentum under the eye’s of the United States: “….a drastic increase in drug production in the territory of Afghanistan and the creation of stable drug trafficking routes to other countries….”

We identified what needed to be brought back to New Zealand, and items that could be gifted to the local community such as some vehicles, furniture, medical consumables and cleaning stores.”-Lieutenant Colonel Richard Weston, Royal New Zealand Air Force

Reports of school girls being poisoned are turning out to be false.  The overwhelming number of recent cases have resulted in no evidence of poisoning, but seem to be mass hysteria. The Afghan Education Minister, Ghulam Farooq Wardak, is threatening legal action if the games continue: “From now on, if I find anyone saying ‘I’m poisoned’ and the poisoning is not proved by the hospital, I will punish the student, I will punish the teacher, I will punish the head teacher and I will punish the school director!”

In Helmand Province, Nahr-e-Saraj District, nine Afghan National Army (ANA) troops killed along with three United Kingdom (Scottish)/NATO Red Coats after a home made bomb exploded.  Six Red Coats were also wounded.  ISAF said: “Three International Security Assistance Force service members died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan.”  (notice ISAF doesn’t mention the ANA deaths)

In relation to the Red Coat deaths, apparently they were in an armored vehicle called a Mastiff.  Prime Minister David Cameron claims he will investigate why the Mujahideen have been successful in killing Red Coats riding in a Mastiff AFV.  Here’s a clue, the thing rolled over on them when the bomb went off!

In Kunar Province, more claims that Pakistan fired artillery rockets into Afghanistan.  Local government officials say 37 rockets hit Dangdam District, no casualties reported.

In Badakhshan Province, provincial officials say they’ve won the release of ten ANA personnel.  They had been captured by Mujahideen in Wardoj District, back in March.  The capture of the ANA troops resulted in a major offensive launched by Afghan and U.S./NATO units, which failed to free the government soldiers.

In Parwan Province, a dramatic crash of a Boeing 747 cargo plane was captured on video.  The U.S. contractor operated plane had just taken off from Bagram airbase, and appears to stall out over a well traveled road.  The stall could be a sign the plane was overloaded, or the pilot had the plane at too steep of an angle starving the engines of air.  Everyone onboard was killed.  The plane was on its way to Dubai.

“Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it’s an act of terror.”-Barack Obama, President of the United States, 16 April 2013

According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism,  since 2009 Obama has authorized the killing of 684 innocent civilians in Pakistan, with drone (UAV) strikes.  156 were children.  And that’s not counting the U.S. drone strike launched just a few days ago.

Then there’s the hundreds killed in Somalia and Yemen by Obama authorized drone strikes.

In Afghanistan, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan says that since Obama took office in 2009, at least 1306 innocent civilians have been killed directly by U.S. led NATO/ISAF operations.  And that’s not counting the U.S. airstrike made on 06 April 2013.

According to Iraq Body Count, Obama has reigned over the deaths of 17563 innocent civilians! And that’s not counting the nearly 100 killed on the same day as the Boston Bombings.  In 2012, articles in the New York Times and Washington Post revealed that Obama was replacing the withdrawn U.S. forces with CIA, SOF and mercenaries (contractors).

Don’t forget to count the civilian deaths in Libya, Palestine (through overt support of Israel), and the ongoing U.S. supported insurgency in Syria.

Then there’s the sudden U.S. support (begun by Bushy Boy Junior) for a government previously considered terrorist; Myanmar (aka Burma in British media).  Ever since the Obama administration began supporting this regime, hundreds of Muslims have been slaughtered, as well as more than 100000 made homeless and being chased out of the country.  The UN declared the Sunni/Sufi Muslim Rohingyas the most persecuted people in the world!  They are being killed, and their homes destroyed or stolen by U.S. supported Buddhists.  That U.S. supported poster girl of human rights, Aung San Suu Kyi, has actually made statements to the media that shows she doesn’t care what happens to the Muslims.

Who’s the real terrorist?

No more hot meals for U.S. forces in Afghanistan: “As a part of the responsible drawdown of operational forces…..commanders in some areas have altered the ration cycle. The same number of meals is provided, but the type of meal may have changed. Commanders have not eliminated breakfast.”-U.S. Army Major Adam Wojack, ISAF

16 Army National Guard troops from the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands deployed to Afghanistan.  They are deploying as members of the Guam Army National Guard.

324 airmen of the Delaware Air National Guard deployed to Afghanistan.  Delaware Army National Guard soldiers are now training in Texas for deployment as well.  At least 700 Delaware Guard members are deployed around the World, and state officials say despite talk of pulling out of Afghanistan by the federal government they expect even more of their state militia to be deployed.

In Herat Province, two Italian/NATO troops wounded.  Their convoy was hit by an explosion.

In Jawzjan Province, Mujahideen captured a security check point.  Four cops killed, six wounded and captured.  Mujahideen also captured AK-47s and RPGs. Local government officials say the Mujahideen had help from cops that went over to their side.

Despite billions in tax money from other countries, unemployment is still rampant in Afghanistan.  An Afghan government report says 500000 jobs need to be created within the next year, or the security situation will get worse.

Afghan government officials say they’ve launched a campaign to wipe out 15,000 hectares (37,050 acres) of opium poppies.  But that’s only 10% of this year’s expected crop.  Already 24 Afghan National Police and seven Afghan National Army personnel have been killed in this year’s drug war.  Many were killed by landmines planted around the poppy fields.  90% of the World’s opium comes from Afghanistan.  Who’s buying that much, are there really that many addicts?  (???pharmaceutical companies looking for cheap ingredients for their opiate based pain killers???)

A U.S. investigation is proving what Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been claiming, that the United States is working with Mujahideen!  The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) issued a report called Contracting With the Enemy.  It claims that millions of U.S. tax dollars have been flowing to Mujahideen! In fact the report says that 80% of U.S. reconstruction contracts might be financing the Mujahideen!  The report is available in PDF at the www.sigar.mil website.  Check it all you happy taxpayers!

World War 3, Asian Front: Pakistan & India launch ballistic missiles!

On 10 April Pakistan launched a medium range Hatf IV Shaheen-1 mobile ICBM.  No one in the international community seemed upset?

The launch comes after several missile launches by India.  In January India conducted a successful underwater launch of a medium range ICBM.  Then just last month, India tested their new cruise missile, and it failed.

Where was the international condemnation?
