World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 01 – 04 April 2013. U.S. Guard units shifted from Afghanistan to Africa? Thousands of ANA quit! Several U.S. planes down! Blue on Green attacks! Mujahideen increase attacks! Major offensive finally ends?

Officials with the U.S. states of Oregon and Georgia, say their National Guard units are still on standby to be deployed to Afghanistan in 2014! The state military officials were responding to local media questions regarding rumors the state militias were told they’ve been “off-ramped” from deployment.  The rumors were started because the Indiana National Guard was told, for the third time in three years, that they’ve been off-ramped for Afghanistan deployment.  There have been reports that more RA and Guard units are being sent to Somalia.

A U.S. Air force pilot was killed when his F-16 Falcon/Viper crashed.  ISAF mentioned only that the F-16 was on a night mission.

In Kabul Province, Deh Sabz District, Mujahideen claim they shot down a U.S./NATO aircraft.  They say the plane broke apart as it came down. U.S./NATO helicopters came in afterward and bombed the wreckage in order to prevent Mujahideen collecting any weapons or sensitive items.

In Ghazni Province, local government officials say the U.S./NATO conducted a Blue on Green airstrike.  They say U.S./NATO aircraft bombed local policemen in Deh-Yak district: “A number of the Afghan local police officers were patrolling when they were attacked by NATO aircrafts, killing four police officers along with two civilians.”-Fazal Ahmad, District governor

In Parwan Province, Mujahideen attacked the U.S. Bagram air base.  Ten U.S. military vehicles, and a contracted fueler, were destroyed. Mujahideen say they attacked a fuel terminal near the base.  However, local government officials say the vehicles were destroyed when a single gas cylinder accidentally exploded.

In Maidan Wardak Province, home invasions continue despite the U.S. SOF forces supposedly pulling out.  The house of Sultan Muhammad in Syed Abad district was invaded, and one of his cousins, and two of his employees were kidnapped.

In Kapisa Province, after an all day battle with Mujahideen, in which locals say the Mujahideen won, U.S. led forces then began raiding homes in Tagab District.  Locals say 50 people were kidnapped, and two people were beaten unconscious.

In Farah Province, Mujahideen launched a massive attack against the provincial government compound.  At least 56 cops, soldiers and civil servants killed, 100 wounded.  The provincial governor said the attack was carried out by only eight Mujahideen.

In Maidan Wardak Province, Mujahideen shot down a recon drone (UAV) in Nirkh district.  They say they recovered the camera system.

In Bakhshan Province, the Afghan government has declared a major military offensive in Wardoj/Wardaj District over. The offensive apparently started on 22 March (see my recent postings), however local officials claim it was only a three day operation.  Government officials admit they attacked 43 villages, killing 80 people and wounding more than 110 in the last three days.

In Parwan Province, Bagram District, Mujahideen claim they shot down a recon drone.

Afghan security officials say this year they are expecting an 85% increase in attacks against Kabul city, by Mujahideen.

Remember Mullah Mohammad Omar?  He’s the guy that the U.S. government and media have reported as being killed, several times in the past.  He’s now running for President of Afghanistan!

In Faryab Province, local government officials say a local police chief was assassinated by his subordinates, who then joined the Mujahideen.

In Uruzgan Province, Dehrawod District, 16 cops joined the Mujahideen.  Their names were publicized.

NATO claims that the Afghan National Army (ANA) is losing 5000 troops every month.  Not to battle, to desertion.  According to the study, when you include death, captures and firings the ANA lost 63000 troops last year!

The Scottish media reporting that the U.K. Ministry of Defence has drastically increased the removal of military forces and equipment from Afghanistan.  The biggest increase is in equipment considered ATCO (Attractive to Criminal and Terrorist Organizations).

World War 3: Australia backs South Korea! U.S. lies to Aussie media about North Korean missile range!

05 April 2013 (03:02 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Jumada l-Ula 1434/16 Farvardin 1391/25 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“We’re not aware of any capability by North Korea, even with weapons they’ve identified…being able to conduct a strike in Australia.”-Jeffry Bleich, U.S. Ambassador to Australia

The U.S. is lying to Aussies, because Australia is closer to Korea than North America, and the DPRK’s KN-08 ICBM can reach the west coast of North America!

Sydney, Australia is approximately 8304 kilometers (5160 miles) from Korea.  The KN-08 has an estimated range of 10000 kilometers (6213.7 miles).

The KN-08 is a new ICBM, unveiled in 2012.  Democratic People’s Republic of Korea claims the ICBM has a 10000km range.  U.S. officials, and even the U.S. media have claimed the missile is a fake.  Some U.S. sources say if the missile is real the range is about 6000 to 8000km, which means the ICBM could still hit the northern end of Auz Down Under.

Here’s the rub; North Korea has been successfully developing their own missiles systems for the past two decades, so why can’t the KN-08 be for real?

Australia’s Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, called the new dictator of South Korea, Park Geun-hye, and expressed support for the Republic of Korea.   Gillard promised to continue political pressure on North Korea.

World War 3: 53000 North Koreans refuse to show up for work at KIR! South Korea refuses to evacuate KIR workers! North Korea prepares two ballistic missiles for launch!

05 April 2013 (02:28 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Jumada l-Ula 1434/16 Farvardin 1391/25 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

An estimated 53000 DPRK workers have not shown up for work at the Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR).  Some analysts say it might be because of a North Korean holiday, however, they also said it was common for the capitalist ROK corporations to ask DPRK workers to work on holidays.

To show how important the cheap North Korean labor is to South Korean capitalists, South Korean media got this reaction from an unnamed manager of one of those companies: “Without the arrival of new parts and materials, and the need to make full use of trucks that cannot return if they cross over the DMZ [De-Militarized Zone], companies must pace their production schedules….At most, the food will probably run out in a week, which would make it hard for South Korean workers to stay at Kaesong.”

Even with the threat of starvation officials in Republic of Korea say they do not see any reason to evacuate ROK workers from KIR as demanded by the DPRK: “When the situation requires, the withdrawal should be carried out for the safety of workers there, therefore (the government) is not considering withdrawal.”-Ryoo Kihl-jae, ROK Unification Minister

Also, South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reporting that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is preparing two medium range ballistic missiles for launch.

Yonhap cites South Korean and U.S. military sources.  They say that two BM25 Musudan have been loaded on their mobile launchers (aka TEL, transporter-erector-launcher), after being shipped to the east coast, along the coast with the Sea of Japan (facing the Pacific).   Earlier reports had said that one BM25 Musdan was being moved to the east coast.

The U.S. and ROK sources say the TELs have now been hidden.

World War 3: POVs to be confiscated in event of Second Korean War!

04 April 2013 (13:56 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“We can’t tell you for sure the models or the number of the cars to be mobilized. That’s confidential.”-unnamed government official

POV, Privately Owned Vehicle (aka car, truck, SUV, mini-van), could become property of the government if full blown Second Korean War were declared.

The revaluation has South Koreans pissed: “The car dealer never told me about this. If the government takes away cars of a specific model, I think it’s unfair.”

Another man pointed out “I would need my car to move away with my family. The government taking away civilian cars is too much of a burden on people.”

Oh, but if you don’t comply you’ll pay a $18000 USD fine and/or go to prison for seven years!

As I’ve reported, the U.S. backed Republic of Korea is not a true democracy, it is a authoritarian regime that’s been under martial law since 1972.

If you study the history of the (First) Korean War you should find evidence that the capitalist South Korea government treated Koreans far worse than communist North Korea, and the United States just looked the other way.

Under the Emergency Resource Management Law in South Korea, computers will pick at random which POVs will be pressed into military service.

However, the age of the car owner and the car, and the location of the car, will be prime factors: “Gyeonggi and Gangwon Province residents may be high on the list, since those are the places bordering North Korea. And the younger the car owner is, the more likely they have to give up their car.”-unnamed government official

World War 3: China admits military build up along Korean border, since 2009! Final War between eastern workers and western capitalists!

04 April 2013 (13:35 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

After days of reports that China was building up forces near the Korean border, and after a Chinese official denied such reports, we now get a better explanation; China has been building up forces since 2009: “Whenever the crisis deepened on the Korean Peninsula, since the North’s second nuclear test in 2009, China has reinforced its troops along the border. Amid escalating threats from North Korea, it’s highly likely that Army has moved troops from the Shenyang Military Region.”-unnamed Chinese official

So the official that said there was no ‘new’ troop build up was correct. The build up has been taking place since 2009.

2009 is the year that tensions began escalating.  Western media won’t tell you this, it started because North Korea wanted better pay and treatment of DPRK workers at the capitalist run Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR).

The DPRK responded to western capitalists with its second nuke test.  Then, in 2012, the DPRK wanted the capitalist corporations to pay their fare share in taxes.  The negative response from the capitalists resulted in North Korea’s third nuke test.  Keep in mind that the western capitalist main streamer media always reported these nuke test as if they made no sense, that they were not justified nor provocated.

This is a final war between the workers and the capitalists!

World War 3: North Korea builds up military around KIR! South Korean KIR workers say this time the North is serious!

04 April 2013 (13:20 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Republic of Korea media has been talking to South Korean workers kicked out of the Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR).  Some ROK workers say there is an increase in military vehicles surrounding KIR. The following are quotes that show the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is serious about war this time, and that South Korean capitalist corporations can’t survive without the cheap North Korean labor.

“[DPRK] Workers who normally wear civilian clothes wore military uniforms and patrols were strengthened.”

“The demeanor of North Korean workers appears to have changed overnight. They were colder than usual and didn’t smile.”

“Inter-Korean relations are a problem, but we’re very concerned that we [ROKies] could lose our business.”

“If parts or food fail to reach the North [KIR] for two to three days, the assembly lines will stop running and workers will starve.”

World War 3: Japan to co-ordinate military attack with United States! North Korea evacuating all workers from KIR!

04 April 2013 (02:48 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“Our government does not believe we should be pushed around and swayed by every provocative statement out of North Korea. We are coordinating with the relevant nations to enact the various [UN] Security Council resolutions.”-Yoshihide Suga, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary

Japan’s Defense Minister, Itsunori Onodera, has ordered increased co-ordination with the U.S. military.  Japan will begin sharing intelligence on activities of DPRK with United States.

DPRK officials said they will pullout approximately 53000 North Korean workers from the Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR).  North Korea says the KIR is “on the verge of bankruptcy”.

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea also ordered all Republic of Korea workers to leave, but reports say there are still 800 ROKies in KIR.  200 are scheduled to leave before the weekend.

World War 3: Re-start of North Korean nuclear complex began weeks ago!

04 April 2013 (00:13 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

According to the U.S.-Korea Institute of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, satellite pics show the re-start of Nyongbyon (Yongbyon) nuclear complex began weeks ago.

The re-start began sometime between February and the March.  A pic taken on 07 February shows no activity, then on the next pass, on 27 March, there is clear evidence of construction work.

The analysts think nuclear operations could be re-started in a few weeks.

World War 3: China building up military on border with North Korea? China denies it, yet agreed to join the U.S. to fight North Korea?

04 April 2013 (00:13 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Several U.S. media outlets have been reporting that the People’s Liberation Army is building up forces on the border with North Korea.  In a news conference yesterday a Chinese official denied the reports.

The Washington Free Beacon has published pics of tank transporters supposedly taken by people near the area where the build up is taking place. It claims its official sources are unnamed U.S. government officials “…with access to intelligence reports, both intelligence and Internet reports from the region…”

The Washington Post also reported that the PLA is building up troops along the Korean border, citing unnamed U.S. government sources (as well as citing the Washington Free Beacon).  Not only did Chinese officials deny it, but the Obama administration downplayed it.

This comes after reports that China and the U.S. will work together against the DPRK.

According to China.org, Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister, Chang Wanquan, and U.S. Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel, agreed to co-operate militarily: “…Hagel said that China and the United States have common interests and that the two sides should join hands to advance their inter-military ties that are facing new historic opportunities.”-China.org

World War 3: North Korean final orders statement!

04 April 2013 (23:36 UTC-07 Tango 03 April 2013)/23 Jumada l-Ula 1434/15 Farvardin 1391/24 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

 A tough-and-go situation is prevailing on the Korean Peninsula.
    U.S. formation of B-52s based on Guam flew into the sky above south Korea all of a sudden to stage a drill under the simulated conditions of a nuclear strike at the DPRK and formations of F-22s took off from Japan proper and Okinawa and were deployed in the Osan air force base in south Korea to watch for a chance to make a surprise strike.
    B-2s flew into the air over waters of the West Sea of Korea from the U.S. mainland and nuclear-powered guided missile submarines and guided missile destroyers of the U.S. Navy which had been operating in waters of the Western Pacific are busy sailing in the West and East Seas of Korea.
    It was reported that super-large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and its group will enter the waters off the Korean Peninsula soon after leaving waters of the Indian Ocean or the western coast of the U.S. mainland.
    South Korea and waters around it are turning into places for display of various types of nuclear strike means of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces and a dangerous hotbed of a nuclear war in the true sense of the word.
    The U.S. high-handed hostile policy toward the DPRK aimed to encroach upon its sovereignty and the dignity of its supreme leadership and bring down its social system is being implemented through actual military actions without hesitation.
    Days and months have passed on this land amid the constant danger of war but never had the whole Korean Peninsula been exposed to such danger of a nuclear war as today.
    Under this situation the towering resentment of the DPRK’s army and people has reached an irrepressible phase as they are all out in the all-out action to defend the sovereignty and prevent a nuclear war of the U.S.
    In view of the prevailing situation the world people who love justice and value conscience are unanimously becoming critical of the U.S. and its followers for their disgraceful behavior of prodding the UN Security Council into adopting “resolutions on sanctions” against the DPRK and vocal expressing concern over the situation on the peninsula.
    The moment of explosion is approaching fast. No one can say a war will break out in Korea or not and whether it will break out today or tomorrow.
    The responsibility for this grave situation entirely rests with the U.S. Administration and military warmongers keen to encroach upon the DPRK’s sovereignty and bring down its dignified social system with brigandish logic.
    In view of this situation, the KPA General Staff in charge of all operations will take powerful practical military counteractions in succession as the KPA Supreme Command had already solemnly declared internally and externally.
    We have already sent a strong message to the present puppet authorities and military of south Korea following in the footsteps of traitor Lee Myung Bak so that they may understand our position.
    As a matter of fact, puppet military gangsters such as Kim Kwan Jin are human rejects not worth becoming targets of the DPRK’s revolutionary armed forces.
    We formally inform the White House and Pentagon that the ever-escalating U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its reckless nuclear threat will be smashed by the strong will of all the united service personnel and people and cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means of the DPRK and that the merciless operation of its revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified.
    The U.S. had better ponder over the prevailing grave situation.
