World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 15-16 July 2013. More proof the British-U.S. Empires are behind boy sex slaves & opium! More proof the U.S. ain’t leavin’!

Afghan news media reporting that an Afghan National Army (ANA) soldier has escaped from prison.  He was arrested last week after killing a Slovak-NATO soldier, and wounding at least three others.  The reports say his escape was facilitated by other ANA soldiers!

ISAF reports that a U.S. led NATO troop was killed by “direct fire” in eastern Afghanistan.  Mujahideen have reported killing several U.S./NATO personnel in eastern provinces, but they don’t give enough details regarding how they were killed.

Despite U.S. news media reports saying Mujahideen attacks are down, the Afghan Defense Ministry admitted they are actually up!  Afghan General Zahir Azimi also admitted that currently the Afghan government forces can not handle the increased attacks by Mujahideen.  This is in direct contradiction with ISAF General Heinz Feldmann, who said Afghan government forces were ready to take over from U.S./NATO.

Another ISAF commander, Major General Dieter Warnecke, revealed that U.S. led NATO/ISAF has military plans for Afghanistan past the 2014 pullout date: “Much of this work will continue into the NATO Resolute Support mission in 2015.  I’m convinced about it. Our strong international commitment to this nation and to the Afghan people will endure.”

Officials with the Afghan Defense Ministry say they’ve caught Pakistani troops/insurgents who’ve infiltrated the ANA using fake ANA ID cards!  Afghan General Taj Mohammad Jahid made the announcement on Radio Free Europe.

In Ghazni Province, a 12 years old boy blew himself up with a bicycle bomb near an ANA/NATO military convoy.  He was killed, an Afghan cop was wounded.

In Helmand Province, Nawzad district, Mujahideen say they destroyed a Georgian/ISAF tank, killing the crew.  And in the United Kingdom/United States controlled area, in Sangin town, a British journalist revealed institutionalized sexual abuse of boys by police.  The issue has many Canadian soldiers in therapy.  Canadian soldiers were told to ignore it, and they claim even U.S./U.K-NATO personnel took part in the child sex crimes.  A U.S. Marine Corps Major tried to confront local police about it but was rebuked.  The British journalist spent six years documenting the war under the U.K./U.S., including the sex crimes.  He has released a documentary called This is What Winning Looks Like!  By the way, Sangin town is also considered a major hub of opium production!

In Baghlan Province, Baghlan-e-Markazi District, NATO/ISAF forces conducted home invasions.  One person killed, two kidnapped.

In Kunar Province, reports that people are abandoning their villages because of repeated U.S./NATO airstrikes.

In Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad city, a motorcycle bomb exploded, killing two people and wounding three.  One person killed worked for Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS, domestic spy agency) and the other person killed was a Afghan National Police (ANP) officer.

The Afghanistan National Archives revealed they have 7000 historical documents pertaining to Iran, documents not currently found in Iran.  Afghan officials say they will send Iran digital copies of those documents.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 16 May 2013. Property owners to blame!

Swiss based Novartis Consumer Health laid off 72 employees, and closed 41 open positions in their Lincoln, Nebraska factory.  Apparently these new job cuts are in addition to the 300 layoffs announced in April.

In Kentucky, Jefferson County Public Schools laying off 41 employees.  School officials blame it on declining enrollments of special needs children, and reduced federal funding.

After 37 years of selling teachers their supplies, Teacher’s Delight closed down in Indiana.  The owner says her business was destroyed when school officials began dictating to teachers where they could buy their supplies.  Perhaps school districts are getting kickbacks from certain school supply vendors?  In Bloomington, medical product manufacturer Hartmann USA halting production.  72 jobs affected.  Production being moved to South Carolina.

More advertising agencies making drastic cutbacks. BBDO and Goodby Silverstein & Partners laid off an undisclosed, but “significant” amount of employees.  The U.S. advertising industry is suffering from the bad economy.  After almost 80 years of working together, BBDO just lost their biggest client, Gillette, because of the bad economy!

In Minnesota, Communications Systems laid off 12 employees, blaming it on crashing sales in the fiber optics business.

The City of Hamilton, in Ohio, laid off six fire fighters.

In Nevada, the Smith Center for the Performing Arts laid off four employees.  They’ve been laying off employees since last year.

In Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Bank closing 16 offices!  Bank officials say they are trying to save money, and they blame customers switching to online banking.  The Eastern Dragon restaurant closed in Towamencin Township.  The restaurant is yet another business to leave the failing Towamencin Shopping Village.

In New Jersey, District 611 pizza restaurant closed after only seven months of business!  The owners blamed it on lack of customers, and an unreasonable property developer.  The Endless Vine wine store closed after 16 years of business.  It’s blamed on a death in the family.

In New Hampshire, the successful Saffron Bistro shut down.  It’s blamed on the property owner demanding unreasonable rent!

Authentically Amish Fine Furnishings out-o-business in Virginia, because the property owner jacked up the rent!

In Farmingdale, New York, Whirling Disc Records out-o-business.   Blamed on a death in the family.

In Jacksonville, Florida, the Taco Del Mar shut down after only one year in business in the Golden Oaks of Butler Point retail plaza!  The plaza is cursed with a history of high turn over of restaurants.

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.

World War 3, North American Front: Mexico losing U.S. instigated drug war to Knights Templar!

26 July 2013 (13:23 UTC-07 Tango)/18 Ramadan 1434/04 Mordad 1391/19 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“I think some areas have been lost….there have been areas that have been abandoned or that have, unfortunately, been won by organized crime.”-Enrique Pena Nieto, Presidente of Mexico

Presidente Enrique Pena Nieto admits that a drug trafficking group, known as Knights Templar, have won the war in the Mexican state of Michoacan.

The loss of the state to Knights Templar took place as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano was meeting with her Mexican counterparts.

U.S. President Bush Jr instigated the destruction of Mexico by forcing Presidente Felipe Calderon to launch a full on war on drug gangs, and six years later more than 60000 people have been killed, with no adverse affect on the drug gangs!

The ATF (U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) operation Fast & Furious proved the U.S. government was behind supplying weapons and ammo to drug gangs,  as many of those guns were traced to the killings of U.S. citizens with the very guns supplied by the ATF!

But the Knights Templar are not just another drug gang, they consider themselves the legitimate representatives of the people of Michoacan.  Reports say combat in Michoacan has been ongoing for the past week.  Two months ago the Mexican government increased police and military units in the state.   Now entire towns have risen up against the government.  Police report their vehicles and weapons being captured by the revolutionaries.

In 2011 I wrote how the U.S. instigated Drug War in Mexico was nothing more than a Control Through Chaos operation.   It might also be U.S. covert preps for an invasion of Mexico.  In 2012 I pointed out that Reaganite Caspar Weinberger co-authored a book called the Next War.  Mexico was one of the countries he said the U.S. was going to invade, if conditions were just right.  If the Mexican government is truly losing control of states to nationalistic anti-U.S. organizations, then that meets Weinberger’s conditions for U.S. invasion.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 13-14 July 2013.

In Logar Province, Mohammad Agha District, Afghan and NATO/ISAF forces killed ten people in Mazgin village.  Afghan government officials called them militants, and said the militants had attacked the Ainak copper mine.  Two of the militants were foreigners.   In Kharwar District, Mujahideen say they shot down a NATO/ISAF helicopter.

In Nangarhar Province, reports that a military convoy hit a massive landmine.  Afghan government officials say a tank was destroyed and U.S. medivac ‘copters were called in.  Mujahideen claim the explosion killed the crew in the tank.

In Kandahar Province, Arghistan District, Afghan border police say they killed 12 Pakistani militants who attacked them.

In Paktia Province, reports that 12 people were killed by NATO/ISAF airstrike.  In Jani Khail District, 26 contracted security guards joined the Mujahideen.  The defections were the result of Mujahideen releasing four captured security guards/mercenaries unharmed.

Afghanistan and Turkmenistan signed onto the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan and India (TAPI) gas pipeline project.  It’s a 30 years deal.

In Helmand Province, Camp Bastion, BBC reporting that British Red Coats have begun pullout operations. The Theatre Logistics Group is scrambling to get military vehicles prepped for the long journey home to United Kingdom.  The BBC reports that the British retreat actually started in October 2012!

According to the BBC, 21 British Red Coats killed themselves while on duty in Afghanistan in 2012.   Another 29 Afghan veterans killed themselves back home in Merry Ol’ England.

A Transparency International report said the U.S. backed Afghan justice system is the most corrupt government organization in all of Afghanistan.  Of course the U.S. backed Afghan Supreme Court denies it.

Confusing reports: The Afghan Foreign Ministry says they’ve officially suspended post 2014 Bilateral Security talks with the Obama administration, yet, a spokesman for President Hamid Karzai says a special committee will be formed to continue such talks.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 15 May 2013. Another domestic spy company going down? Blue Cross outsources jobs from Idaho!

Rumors that California based domestic spying data collection and storage company, NettApp, is laying off 1400 employees!  Part of the rumors came from former EMC (also a domestic spying company, laid off 1800 employees) employees who said they’ve been hit with thousands of job inquiries from NettApp employees.  The NettApp layoffs are part of the company’s plans to get rid of poor performing departments.  Rumors also say NettApp is laying off employees in United Kingdom.  Also in California, Applebees closed their Arroyo Grande restaurant, Applebees is bankrupt.  The restaurant manager said Applebees plans on closing restaurants in Colorado and New Mexico.  Apparently the Dairy Queen in Livermore closed.  The city of Turlock plans to layoff 19 employees.  City officials say they’re short $1.7 million USD!

The Energizer bunny just keeps losing steam.  Reports that an undisclosed amount of employees at the Asheboro, North Carolina factory will be laid off. Energizer already laid off 100 people at the factory in March!  Advertising agency McKinney laid off 30 people in Durham. They blamed it on the loss of a major client, Qwest, who got bought out by Century Link. Two branch offices of BB&T bank closed in Columbus County.  Apparently the locations were too small townish for the bank, revenues being too low.  For many people they’ll have to drive 20 miles to the nearest bank!  (I say go cash only!)  And North Carolina based pharmaceutical services giant, Quintiles, announced 400 layoffs worldwide!  Interesting because at the same time company officials claim they have 900 positions available?

CPM Federal Credit Union closed three branch offices in South Carolina.  The credit union is “restructuring”.

In Pennsylvania, the PNC Bank closing ten offices in the Pittsburgh area!  They’ve already closed 65 offices, and plan to close a total of 200 offices across the eastern U.S. by the end of this year!  Bank officials claim that most of their customers have switched to online banking.

In Maryland, the First Mariner Bank to close three offices in three cities.  Bank officials said they had to cut costs, and that many customers switched to online banking.

United kingdom based Too Big to Jail HSBC bank laying off 14000 people around the World!!!  Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver is already responsible for killing 46000 jobs and 52 businesses around the World!!!  Gulliver told analysts “We’re not even halfway through unlocking the value in HSBC.”  HSBC has hundreds of offices in the U.S., and owns several buildings in New York.

United Kingdom based Too Big to Jail RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) revealed they will layoff more people around the World (at least 1400), and close more offices.  In 2008-09 RBS got the biggest bank bailout in the World!  They’ve already laid off 37000 people!  RBS operates in the U.S. through Rhode Island based Citizens Financial Group (Citizens Bank and Charter One).

In New York, Ulster County warned employees at the Golden Hill nursing home that layoffs were coming.  The nursing home is being sold!  And the Malone Veterans Affairs clinic being closed down in August.  Apparently it has something to do with the number of veterans seeking help dropping below the magic 700 mark.

In Ohio, Mercy Hospital eliminated 18 jobs, blamed on decreased customers and decreased funding caused by the Obama/Romney Affordable Health Care Act.

Regence Blue Cross/Blue Shield health insurance laid off 55 people across Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and Utah (some reports said 56).  Regence is outsourcing claims processing to a company in New Jersey.

In Hood River, Oregon, CenturyLink closed a call center and laid off 51 employees.  After 40 years of business, For What It’s Worth Records shut down in Clackamas.  The owner doesn’t blame internet competition, because he says he has stuff you can’t get on the internet.  Instead he blames the recent 60% increase in international shipping rates by the USPS.  Most his customers are in other countries. (I can relate to that, and the main streamer news media said the rate hikes wouldn’t affect online businesses!)

In Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Building 19 discount store closed down.  The owners blame the bad economy: “We did everything we could to keep that store alive, but it just didn’t make sense for us. We have people who have worked at that store for 20 years, 30 years, back to the days of Spag’s.”-William Elovitz

IBM laid off 17 contract workers at its Essex Junction factory in Vermont.  IBM is moving jobs to Argentina and China.

In Michigan, New Yorker children’s clothing store closed after 76 years of business!  The owners said their decision to get out of the business is “Just in time.”, regarding the bad economy.  They also blamed unAmerican corporate America for destroying mom & pop operations: “It’s just mom and pop retail. It’s just old time retail. We talk to everybody and try to help them out. We’ve been here a long time.”-Jack Karr

Germany based steel company, ThyssenKrupp, to layoff at least 3000 people around the World, and sell off its Brazil and U.S. steel factories!

In Florida, the city of Vero Beach says it needs to cut $2.2 million from the upcoming fiscal year’s budget, which means layoffs are coming.   Flagler County Schools warned of possible layoffs for 28 employees.  It all depends on voters who are willing to screw themselves by voting for a new tax to support the schools.  In Sharpes, Corky Bell’s Seafood Restaurant closed.  It’s blamed on NASA downsizing at nearby Kennedy Space Center.

The publisher of Parenting and Baby Talk magazines sold out to the publisher of Parent and American Baby magazines.  The result is 65 people lost their jobs.

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.

Martial Law U.S.A.: New federal tax laws now officially Top Secret!

25 July 2013 (16:25 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Ramadan 1434/03 Mordad 1391/18 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“COMMITTEE CONFIDENTIAL. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION. DO NOT COPY. These materials may not be released to the public from the National Archives or by the Finance Committee prior to December 31, 2064.”-U.S. Senate Finance Committee memo

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is now classifying any new federal tax codes/reforms for the next 50 years!  This is to satisfy some senators who expressed concern that the citizens of the U.S. would rebel against some of the ‘reforms’, or perhaps assassinate senators, if they knew what those tax reforms entailed.

Also, only 10 senate staffers would be allowed to see the reforms, and only two digital copies will be posted in a password protected server.  Paper copies will be locked up.  All in an effort to keep the names of the senators drafting the reforms secret.

“Plenty of things are classified. But this is different.”-Thomas Mann, congressional scholar

U.S. Civil War / Martial Law: Michigan first to go down, meets definition of “Failed State”!

25 July 2013 (15:53 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Ramadan 1434/03 Mordad 1391/18 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“A failed state is a state perceived as having failed at some of the basic conditions and responsibilities of a sovereign government.”-Wikipedia

The metropolis of Detroit became the biggest U.S. city to go bankrupt!  Yesterday, a federal judge blocked any challenges to the bankruptcy, including a challenge by a Michigan state judge!  Detroit is in debt by at least $18 billion USD.  The bankruptcy will rob retired and current city employees of their retirement funds (which they paid into).

Despite, or maybe because of the bankruptcy, the Michigan Strategic Fund (MSF) board approved issuing up to $450 million in bonds to finance construction of a $650 million project, that includes a new arena for the Detroit Red Wings!  The MSF also approved $200 million for other parts of the bankrupt city of Detroit.  Hello, aren’t bonds a form of debt that the taxpayers have to cover?  So now the state of Michigan is going deeper into debt for the sake of failed Detroit?

And despite state officials putting state taxpayers on the line for the Detroit Red Wings, the governor of Michigan just stated that he wants no federal bailout money for Detroit.  Do you see how mixed up things are at the leadership level?

A Detroit area physical therapist assistant pled guilty to taking part in a scam that ripped off Medicare by $22 million!

The city of Flint, like Detroit, is under emergency management.  However, today the Emergency Manager, Mike Brown, said they are not currently considering bankruptcy.  The smaller city of Flint is in debt by at least $19.1 million.

Get this, a man was just found guilty of stealing $100000 worth of tools and metals from General Motors.  The man is suspected of being the ringleader of a metal pirate group that targeted metal items belonging to GM in a storage facility in Howell.  They were selling the metal to recyclers.

According to Bridge Magazine, things are so bad in Detroit and Flint that people are stripping buildings of metal, including the buildings that are still occupied!  Even the Christian God can’t stop the metal pirates from stripping churches.  They take everything metal, like plumbing, wiring, siding, metal statues of Jesus.  Even the mausoleum doors from Woodmere Cemetery and parts of the copper roof of Holy Redeemer Church were stolen.  It’s so bad that retired FBI agents have formed NAZIistic non-profit pseudo-governmental groups to fight the metal pirates, because the government has failed: “Right now the burden is on the property owner. What are you supposed to do, stand guard seven days a week? Because that’s what it would take.”-Andrew Arena, non-profit pseudo-governmental agency Detroit Crime Commission

Michigan’s oil refining industry is a big fail, even with the glut of oil coming from North Dakota and Canada!  According to U.S. News & World Report, four out of the five refineries in the Great Lakes region were out of action at some point due to maintenance problems.  The result is that many Great Lakes states pay more for fuel than Hawaii or California.  Michigan has one of those five Great Lakes refineries, and only now the NAZIistic right to work you over lawmakers decided maybe Michigan should build a second refinery!   The plan would give the company that builds/operates it massive tax breaks for ten years, however, Detroit’s bankruptcy just might have nixed any financial support for such a plan.  Perfect example of too little too late.

And while Michigan ‘elected’ officials love to give unAmerican corporate America huge tax breaks, they’re refusing to use any of the state emergency school funds to stop the wholesale destruction of public schools.  Schools across Michigan have laid off thousands of employees in the past few years.  Inkster Public Schools laid off all their teachers!!!  The entire Buena Vista School District ceased to exist!!!  Prime examples of Failed State!

The Michigan Department of Transportation claims so far this year 440 people were killed on highways.  State Transportation Director, Kirk T. Steudle, called that number a “startling statistic” but expects it to go much higher, despite all the other police enforced campaigns to make people drive safer.  What does that tell you about the mind set of the people who drive Michigan’s highways?  They don’t care anymore!

Michigan’s ‘official’ unemployment rate went up in June, compared to May.  In May it was 8.4%, in June it hit 9.4%! (all 17 of Michigan’s labor markets reported increased unemployment!)

Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) warning people to beware of scammers posing as unemployment consultants.  However, it turns out that those consultants were part of the 400 UIA employees who got laid off last year! Those former UIA employees say they started their consulting businesses to help people apply for unemployment compensation through a government system that’s obviously set up to fail: “It’s like an act of Congress sometimes to try to get through to them and people are frustrated when they do call. They’d tell me we were on hold for an hour then the system kicked them off for high volume.”-Manuel Delgado, former UIA employee

Michiganders recently demonstrated for an increase to state and federal minimum wages.  And increasing part time jobs are not considered a good thing: “When we see that the number of involuntary part time workers more than doubled, that’s yet one more indication of the severity of the damage caused by the financial crisis.”-Charles Ballard, Michigan State University

Anyone watching news reports should notice an increase in violet crimes, however the latest ‘official’ federal government data are from 2011.  It shows property crimes in Michigan at 26 per 1000 residents, the national median is 29 per 1000.  Violent crime in Michigan hit 4.4 per 1000 in 2011, the national median being 3.9 per 1000.   ‘Official’ 2012 data will not be released until Autumn 2013.

At the end of 2012, Wayne State University held a two day forum on the increasing level of crime in Detroit. They called the forum City Under Siege.

I have neighbors who recently moved to Idaho from a suburb of Flint.  The man expressed how peaceful it was here in Chubbuck.  He told me how they were afraid to be outside their house when the sun went down in Michigan, because there were so many random shootings.  He also told me about the lie of the great automotive industry.  Even though he spent decades working for GM (I think he said GM) he never went a full year without being laid off.  Jobs were never ever steady.  He followed his son to Idaho, who recently got a job with an east Idaho school district.  I assume his son was one of the many victims of the slashing and burning of Michigan’s education system.

Another sign of a Failed State is “loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force”.  This means the government can’t enforce laws, usually because the public has lost all faith in the government (after all, you pay your taxes and what do you get in return? Less and less year after year!).  Becoming a police state is actually a sign of “loss of control”.

The creation of the pseudo-governmental agency known as Detroit Crime Commission (DCC) is a prime example.  In 2012 the DCC began asking retired FBI and retired state police officers to volunteer with their group to conduct law enforcement patrols.  The non-profit “charity”DCC was founded and is run by former FBI agents, and receives federal grants besides public donations.

It looks like the DCC has also taken over the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department.  DCC even partnered with Geofeedia for the 2012 World Series games, and used social media to spy on the public: “The end result was a large volume of social media reviewed and monitored by the law enforcement agencies entrusted with providing security for the World Series.  As social media posts emerged that developed into situations, the Command Center directed field officers to those locations.”-Detroit Crime Commission: Securing the 2012 World Series through real-time, location based social media monitoring

I think Detroit/Michigan qualifies as failed under the “loss of control of its territory“ category, because government officials have turned over their “monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force“ to a non-profit pseudo-governmental agency known as Detroit Crime Commission.  It won’t be long before Michigan becomes a police state run by government contractors.

Michigan is a failed state.

Martial Law U.S.A.: U.S. House refuses to restrain NSA domestic spying ops!

25 July 2013 (00:54 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Ramadan 1434/03 Mordad 1391/18 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

The U.S. House of Representatives rejected a bill that would have limited the powers of the National Security Agency (NSA).  It failed by a narrow vote of 217 against to 205 for.

The bill was presented by a group of Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians.  Strangely those ‘elected’ officials who love the NSA, like Arkansas’s Tom Cotton, used the argument that “we’re at war” to defeat the bill.  That’s funny, Congress has yet to officially declare war, so technically, no we’re not at war!

This shows you sheeple of the United States just how many of your ‘elected’ officials love spying on you, because they think you’re the real terrorists!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 11-12 July 2013.

In Baghlan Province, Burka District, Boorkeh city, Mujahideen claim they shot down a NATO/ISAF helicopter.  U.S. officials would only confirm that one of their ‘copters made a “hard landing”.  Mujahideen say it was a U.S. Chinook helicopter, and that 27 personnel on board were killed.  The district governor did say the U.S. forces were conducting raids in the area.

In Helmand Province, Nad-e-Ali District, an explosion killed three civilians.  When police showed up to investigate another bomb exploded.  Two cops killed, two wounded.  In Gerishk District, locals reported NATO/ISAF airstrikes killed three eight years old children.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, a car being chased by police blew up.  The driver and two passengers killed.  Police say they recognized the driver as a wanted person.

In Herat Province, the three kidnapped employees of the Norwegian Refugee Council were freed. Local police say no ransom was ever demanded, and the hostages were released without any negotiating.

The European Union’s special envoy for Afghanistan, Vygaudas Usackas, said peace talks will not show any progress until 2015.

Iran and Afghanistan have agreed to cooperate in fighting U.S. backed drug smuggling and terrorism: “A peaceful and stable Afghanistan can play an efficient role in the promotion of trade…”-Abbas Araqchi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia-Pacific Affairs

The United Kingdom announced that it wants to pullout 5200 Red Coats by the end of this year.  However, Defence Minister Philip Hammond said they will be prepared to send troops back into Afghanistan if “additional surges” were needed.

Former U.S. diplomat, Robert Blackwill, warned that Afghanistan could become a proxy war between India and Pakistan, after the 2014 NATO/ISAF pullout.

Environmental Martial law: No more charcoal fired BBQs?

24 July 2013 (23:14 UTC-07 Tango 23 July 2013)/16 Ramadan 1434/02 Mordad 1391/17 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

A study is blaming increased particulate mater (PM) in the air on open air BBQs.

The Beijing News and Green Beagle Environment Institute study done in Beijing, China, said open air charcoal fired Bar-B-Ques increased PM by 2.5 levels.  It’s also claimed that charcoal BBQs produce poison gas as well.

You can see where the environmental NAZIs are going with this study.
