World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 05 – 07 February 2013. While the West fawns over the single Pakistani girl who was shot, nothing is said about the hundreds of Afghan kids killed at the hands of U.S. led forces!!! More U.S. led home invasions!!! More of your money down the drain!!!

07 February 2013

In Kapisa Province, a U.S. led NATO helicopter crashed in Tagab district. Witnesses say NATO personnel were killed or wounded.  Mujahideen claim they shot it down, however, local government officials called it an “emergency landing”.  Mujahideen say the ‘copter burst into flames while still in the air.  ISAF confirmed it indeed crashed: “An International Security Assistance Force helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan today.”

The helicopter being shot down might be a reprisal for a massive U.S. led home invasion mission in Kapisa Province overnight. Reports say 30 homes were raided in Tagab district.  Villagers say the U.S. led NATO/ANA forces detained them while their homes were ransacked and valuables stolen (Israeli style). Two villagers were killed when they tried to stop the crime.

In Helmand Province, Mujahideen say they repelled a U.S. led NATO/ANA heliborne operation in the Malmand Karez area of Sangin district.

In Ghazni Province, a report says eight Afghan National Army (ANA) troops joined the Mujahideen. The report actually gave the names of those who switched sides.

A United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child investigation condemns the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan, saying U.S. personnel have imprisoned and tortured hundreds of children, as well as killed hundreds of kids since 2008, and it’s only getting worse:  “Those responsible for the killings have not been held to account even as the number of children killed doubled from 2010 to 2011.”

Other reports say six people were killed and one U.S. personnel wounded.  ISAF admitted guilt: “Our initial assessment is that after the engagement, one Afghan woman and three Afghan children were found dead in a compound separate from where the Afghan and Coalition forces engaged the insurgents. ISAF takes all civilian casualties seriously, and an investigation is on-going to determine exactly what happened in this operation.”

In Faryab Province, a bomb planted in a hotel exploded.  Reports vary, but as many as four people killed, 20 wounded.

Pakistan has re-opened its Torkham border crossing with Afghanistan.  More than 3,700 shipping containers have been sitting for three months waiting to get through. Hundreds of people were also stuck waiting in the cold and snow, several died.

The U.S. based International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced even more money for Afghanistan!  The IMF said that Afghanistan had passed “key structural benchmarks” to give the Central Asian country access to more credit.

2nd U.S. civil war, Got Ammo? East Idaho running out of bullets!

“Idaho will push back. A question that is rolling around in most Idahoan’s heads right now is, what part of ‘shall not be infringed’ don’t they get?”-Scott Bedke, Idaho Speaker of the House

The threat being made against our Constitutional right to defend ourselves with whatever is the weapon of choice by today’s military/police (it ain’t about hunting or collecting or any of that BS) is creating a severe shortage of ammunition.

“People are getting what they can while they can still do it before those rights are stripped away.”-Mike Visser, instructor at gun store in Wyoming

Here in eastern Idaho, Walmarts started rationing bullets back in January, and now they’ve run out!

Many anti-gun rights (and therefore anti-American, anti-Constitution) activists are calling for ammo control laws, like background checks, and serial numbers for bullets!

There’s also federal bills being proposed to go after internet ammo sales.

In Idaho people and businesses are fighting back.

This past weekend in Boise, Cabelas sporting goods store gave $25.00 gift cards to anyone who joined the National Rifle Association (NRA).

Recently the Red Coat British media reported on a group of Idahoans who bought 20 acres (8 hectares) and plan to build a city where it’s mandatory for everyone to own “…an AR-15 rifle, 1,000 rounds of ammunition and enough supplies to withstand a collapse of society.”  The Citadel will eventually have 3,000 acres (1214 hectares)!

Then there’s Mormon Glenn Beck (with connections to east Idaho), who said “…Glenn believes that he can bring the heart and the spirit of Walt’s early Disneyland ideas into reality. Independence, USA wouldn’t be about rides and merchandise, but would be about community and freedom. The Marketplace would be a place where craftmen and artisan could open and run real small businesses and stores. The owners and tradesmen could hold apprenticeships and teach young people the skills and entrepreneurial spirit that has been lost…”-Glenn Beck website

Even law enforcement in Idaho is pro-gun rights: “We, the sheriffs of the State of Idaho support the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms and we oppose any intrusion upon those rights.”-Idaho Sheriff’s Association (ISA) statement

However, the ISA also said it was up to courts to determine if a law was unconstitutional or not.  They also want to see improvements in mental health services, at a time when lawmakers are slashing and burning such services.

School District 25, in Bannock County, recently approved the installation of gun safes, so school cops can bring their rifles to work.  It’s not the only school district in Idaho to due so.

To hear what President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union, on 12 February 2013, it’s clear that the United States is more divided now than when Obama gave his first State of the Union address four years ago.

2nd U.S. civil war & Christian Evil: White Iowa Taliban want to send victims of rape and incest to prison for murder!!! Racism involved!

“We’re talking about the victim of rape would go to prison along with her rapist! It’s very hard to understand the feeling behind it. It’s a health care issue, I mean, sometimes in order to save someone’s life a woman could possibly need an abortion. When we talk about being pro-life, my new question is ‘whose life?’”-Wessel-Kroeschell, Iowa state representative opposed to potential new law

A new bill, called House File 2298, has within it a section called “Feticide” which could make it a crime of murder for any woman who gets an abortion, even in rape and incest cases.

The bill was introduced by nine Republicans (some Tea Party members, lets call them Iowa Taliban) who call themselves Christians.

The proposed law forces health care providers to report suspected cases of abortion to police. The report must include the age, education level, marital status and even the “race” of the woman.  It also must include whether the woman has children or past history of abortions.

A woman who gets and abortion, and/or the doctor who performs abortion will go to prison for life without parole.  A failed abortion results in 25 years in prison. The bill also creates a guilt by association crime.

Even a person who “unintentionally” causes abortion could face 25 years in prison.

The Iowa Taliban say they will never stop until their bill becomes law: “There are some who say that we need to ease up on this because it’s not winning us anything. My thought is we can’t let this drop. Even if I’m in here screaming to empty walls, I will always be a voice for the unborn.”-Rob Bacon, Iowa state representative supporting potential new law

2nd U.S. civil war: 790% increase in federal prisons population!!! Immigrants, drugs & guns main targets!!! Push for more private for profit prisons?

“Since the early 1980s, there has been a historically unprecedented increase in the federal prison population. Some of the growth is attributable to changes in federal criminal justice policy during the previous three decades.”-The Federal Prison Population Buildup: Overview, Policy Changes, Issues, and Options

08 February 2013, according to a Congressional Research Service report made public at the end of January, the number of Americans now incarcerated in federal prisons has skyrocket by 790%, since 1980!

“Since FY [fiscal year] 1980, the federal prison population has increased, on average, by approximately 6,100 inmates each year. Data show that a growing proportion of inmates are being incarcerated for immigration- and weapons-related offenses, but the largest portion of newly admitted inmates are being incarcerated for drug offenses.”

The researchers suggested using more private for profit prisons: “Placing more inmates in private facilities could help alleviate overcrowding in federal prisons without the need to invest in a large-scale expansion of federal prison bedspace.”

However, they admitted that recent studies were inconclusive as to the effectiveness and cost savings of privately run prisons, because of the way data was put together.  They quoted the conclusion of another study which said “…prison privatization provides neither a clear advantage nor disadvantage compared with publicly managed prisons. Neither cost savings nor improvements in quality of confinement are guaranteed through privatization.”-Brad W. Lundahl, Chelsea Kunz, and Cyndi Brownell, et al., “A Meta-analysis of Cost and Quality of Confinement Indicators,” Research on Social Work Practice, vol. 19, no. 4 (July 2009), p. 392

What Economic Recovery? Sears, Best Buy, RadioShack, JCPenny all going down?

Since the end of January 2013 the amount of reports on the internet predicting hundreds of retail store closing just keeps going up.

24/7 Wall St reporting that eight retailers will close more stores in 2013: Best Buy, Sears Holding (Kmart and Sears stores), JCPenney, Office Depot, Barnes & Noble, Gamestop, Office Max  and RadioShack.

Video game retailer, Gamestop, predicted to shut down 600 stores! (in November 2012 they announced they would close down 200 stores, but analysts think that’s too low)

RadioShack could close 550 stores!  (already closed more than 120 locations between 2010 & 2011)

Down retail sales are hitting JCPenny so hard they will likely close down 350 stores!

Barnes & Noble says they have to close down stores just to maintain current profit level, possibly 240 stores will be shut down!

World War 3: Iran says it will continue supporting Syria, says Israel has made itself a target! Main U.S./Israeli supported rebel group going over to Russia & Iran?

On 02 February 2013, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, arrived in Damascus, Syria.  There he told the public that Iran will continue supporting Syria against whoever is behind the attempted destruction of al-Sham.

Also, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, said the recent Israeli air raids almost certainly guarantees action against the Zionist state: “Any violation of a country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity committed by the Zionist regime must be dealt with.”

Israeli media reporting that computers are being hacked into.  A group calling itself  the Syrian Electronic Army, claimed: “We have hacked into 50 central Israeli websites.”

A Syrian ambassador stated there could be a surprise retaliatory attack: “The Israelis, and the United States behind them, along with their Arab and regional accomplices, realize that Syria, which defends its sovereignty and territory, may decide to respond by surprise to this aggression.”-Ali Abdel Karim Ali, Syrian ambassador to Lebanon

And out of Germany comes a Rueters report, saying the main U.S./Israeli rebel group Syrian National Coalition (SNC) are in discussion in Munich, Germany, with Iranian officials: “The talks about Syria are intensifying and the Iranians have been drawn in. Let’s see how it all ends.”-unnamed German source

The Reuters report also said the SNC had already met with Russian officials, and they reported discussions that could lead to the end of the western backed insurgency.

According to an Israeli media source, the United States was also behind the recent air strikes on Syria. On 22 January President Obama was briefed of the attack by an Israeli AMAN commander.  Obama approved.  As well, the Russian’s were told by the Israeli ambassador in Moscow.  The Russians were opposed.

Also on 02 February 2013, U.S. Vice President, Joe Biden, told the media in Munich, Germany, that the official stance of the U.S. government towards Iran, is that Iran is not serious and the U.S. will not open diplomatic channels until they believe Iranian leaders are acting seriously.

In Herat Province, Mujahideen claim they captured a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle/drone) in the Nawa area of Adraskan district.

25 January 2013

In Kandahar Province, Mujahideen claim they assassinated a National Directorate of Security (NDS) agent in front of a local bank.  Another NDS agent, and known U.S. paid contractor on Kandahar airbase, was assassinated near the Girls’ School in Mirza Ahmad Kalachi area

USMC General john Allen is outraged that the Mujahideen could have launched such a devastating attack on U.S. forces.  The car bomb attack happened in Kapisa Province, and killed 12 U.S./NATO personnel and destroyed two armored vehicles!   Five civilians were also killed, and 20 wounded. The suicide bombing might be in retaliation for a U.S. led home invasion the night before.

In Helmand Province, ISAF confirmed three Georgian ISAF troops were wounded. Two were ambushed and a third stepped on a landmine.  Mujahideen also claimed to have destroyed two Georgian armored vehicles.

Yet another report confirms what the Afghan government has been saying, that for the last six months of Gregorian year 2012, at least 1,100 Afghan government forces gave their lives fighting for the United States! A British newspaper said that info comes directly from U.S./NATO/ISAF sources.

24 January 2013

In Kapisa Province, villagers say a home was invaded during the night by Afghan and U.S. forces. They shot a woman dead. Local cops claim that shots were being fired from the home. Apparently the woman was the only one in the home.

In Herat Province, locals say government supported paramilitaries assaulted four people and killed one in Karez Zaman area of Khushk Kohna district.  Apparently the motive was robbery.

In Balk Province, a local cop is barely alive after trying to get rid of a bomb. Local police officials say the cop picked up something suspicious, then threw it when he realized it was a bomb. It exploded when he threw it away.

In Nimruz Province, two local cops were killed when they drove over a landmine.  Two women bystanders were wounded.

In Kandahar Province, three local cops, from Arghasan district, joined the Mujahideen.  Also, Mujahideen say they recovered a crashed U.S./NATO/ISAF drone. It came down in the Sozak area of Shahwalikot district.

U.S. military officials claim they will turn over control of Jalalabad airbase to the Afghan government.  It will then be returned to civilian use.

The U.S. military is also playing games with taxpayer money regarding more aircraft for the Afghan air force.  The USAF is delaying the purchase of 20 light attack aircraft.  It’s all because of disputes over the selection of a new plane; either the AT-6 Texan 2 or the A-29 Super Tucano.

Russia is investigating the possibility that a Russian airliner was in danger of being shot down by U.S./NATO aircraft over Afghanistan.  The incident was reported the day before.  The collision warning system in a Nordwind Airlines plane went off.  The crew say they saw what looked like a military plane on an intercept course with them. Afghanistan currently does not have interceptor aircraft, only U.S. and NATO forces operate such planes in Afghanistan.

The United Nations announced they will investigate U.K. Red Coat and U.S. Yankee drone strikes around the world, including Afghanistan. About 30 incidents will be investigated, specifically cases of double tap strikes where missiles were launched against rescue parties after the first missile struck.

World War 3: Italian Supreme Court finds 26 evil ‘Mericans guilty of War Crimes!!!

On 01 February 2013, the Italian appeals Court ruled that three CIA employees are guilty of war crimes!  That brings the total to 26 U.S. citizens found guilty in Italian courts since 2009!

Italian prosecutors said all but one works for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.  They were tried in absentia, and found guilty of kidnapping an Egyptian in 2003 on the orders of U.S. President George W. Bush “Jr”.

U.S. officials claimed he was a terrorists, but after several years of being transferred to different prisons in Germany, Italy, then Egypt, and being tortured, he was let go in 2007.  An Egyptian court ruled there wasn’t any evidence to prove he was a terrorist.

The Italian court ruling means that if any of the U.S. citizens found guilty set foot in Europe they can be imprisoned.  Italian prosecutors say they will also consider extradition orders against the United States!

According to some reports, the Obama Administration refused to provide legal help for the CIA agents.
