In Ghor Province, the local security chief, as well a local development boss, were assassinated by suicide bombing.
In Bamiyan Province, occupation troops from New Zealand were attacked. This is the second time Kiwis have been attacked. The Mujahideen are targeting the Kiwis because New Zealand had recently expanded their military mission in Bamiyan.

09 August 2012, France has revealed they are sending troops to the border between Jordan and Syria. Syria was a French colony between World War One and World War Two.
Officially the first French troops are medical personnel, supposedly to treat refugees, but other sources say they are to treat wounded rebels: “There will be many wounded who have crossed the Jordanian-Syrian border, those wounded by gunfire who will need surgery.”-Colonel Gerard Dosseh, French military
The Italians have also set up medic facilities along the Jordanian-Syrian border.
Syrian rebels, including those claiming to be with al Qaeda, are reportedly being trained by the infamous U.S. corporation now known as Academi (aka Xe Services, Blackwater USA and Blackwater Worldwide).
“Over the years, these Latin American friends have loyally rolled over investments in succeeding funds, actively participated in Bain Capital’s May investor meetings, and are still today one of the largest investor groups in Bain Capital.”-Harry Strachan, former Bain Capital partner
According to the latest reports, at least 40% of Bain Capital’s initial funding came from investors who were accused by the U.S. government of murdering their own people! Mitt Romney personally appealed to those investors, who were living in Florida.
Also, many of Bain’s initial investors were corporations registered in Panama. By being registered in Panama they avoided paying taxes, and they were able to hide information, such as the details about how they were making their money. These corporations are sometimes called “shell companies”, because they really don’t produce a product or service, they’re simply used to hide money from governments.
Regarding the investments from death squad overlords, the U.S. government accused many of the Florida investors of being directly related to El Salvadoran officials, and/or directly funding the brutal civil war and mass killings that took place in the Central American country from 1980 to 1992.
Harry Strachan, a one time partner in Bain Capital, stated that Romney, and others, knew where the money was coming from, and were initially “…terrified of bringing in Central Americans. They were afraid of drug money.” Strachan admits that he convinced Romney to take the money.
The names of at least three investors, accused of funding death squads, have been released by the U.S. Department of State. Romney has even named several investors, but claims he investigated them for such crimes against humanity. Another investor, Orlando de Sola, is now in an El Salvador prison, convicted of fraud. Interestingly, he says he did not make any money off his family’s investments into Bain Capital!
Romney is still getting money from many of these same elitist Central American families. In fact they are major supporters in his campaign for President of the United States!
The latest reports connecting Romney to death squads and warlords in Central America, can be found in the Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Boston Globe, Associated Press and others.

07 August 2012, there are reports from northern Syria that hundreds of Turkish soldiers and armored vehicles crossed into Syria. Turkey is denying such reports, but has already warned the Syrian government that they would invade on the pretext of fighting Kurdish Mujahideen.
There are reports that 40 of Turkish troops have been captured inside Syria, as well as the capture of a Turkish general in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Witnesses to the Turkish raid said the troops stopped at a village, and were escorting a large number of militants who are not Turkish. The Turks also gave the militant group weapons including anti-aircraft missiles.
The name of the village is Jarablos (aka Cerablos), it is in the Kurdish dominated area of Syria.
Kurds have been fighting for almost a hundred years to regain their autonomous regions, which run through Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. The Kurds lost those areas when the British stabbed them in the back after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after the end of World War One.
31 July 2012
French occupation troops began pulling out. France wants all their troops out by the end of 2012.
In Herat Province, yet again U.S. forces conducted a night time raid. This time four civilians were wounded inside their home. Local Afghan officials said the U.S. did not consult with them, and no Afghan government troops accompanied the U.S. troops, which are violations of the recent agreements signed between Afghanistan and the U.S.! For some reason U.S. occupation troops have been conducting a lot of night time raids in Herat Province, many of them look like vengeance raids against local cops!
In Laghman Province, one teenager was killed, four wounded, after they found an old mine and started hitting it with a rock!
The U.S. puppet country of Georgia said a 17th soldier has died from wounds received in Afghanistan. He had been in a coma since January 2012, after being caught in a mortar attack.
Mujahideen revealed they are actually making money off the U.S./NATO supply convoys coming through Pakistan! The money is being made by charging the convoy security companies a fee which will allow the convoys to go through without being attacked. This is actually standard practice in this part of the world, has been going on since the time of the Silk Road, think of it as a type of Mafioso toll road. So what this means is that the real reason a U.S./NATO supply convoy is attacked is because they didn’t pay the local ‘security’ fees!
In Badakhshan Province, a local police chief has been arrested and accused of instigating a border war with Tajikistan. The border was closed after Tajikistan troops conducted a cross border raid into Afghanistan. Tajik officials say it was in response to attacks against Tajik villages, the attackers came from Afghanistan.
The Afghan senate officially accused Pakistan of attacking Afghanistan. Some officials claim Pakistan has fired 3,000 artillery rockets into Kunar Province in the past two months.

30 July 2012
In Farah Province, at least 23 U.S. trained militia men have defected to the Mujahideen. Afghan government officials, including President Hamid Karzai, warned the United States against such a program because the Soviets tried the same thing back in the 1980s, and it failed.
International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Brigadier General Gunter Katz (of Germany) held a meeting with Afghan government officials over the increased attacks against U.S. led occupying troops by Afghan government troops. So far this year there were 21 attacks launched against U.S. led forces by Afghan government forces. Katz says most of those incidents had nothing to do with Mujahideen: “We have thoroughly probed these incidents. Our investigations have revealed such incidents take place due to personal matters, pressure and other such issues.”
The Afghan House of Representatives approved a new military pact with the United Kingdom. The pact includes political cooperation, security issues, improvement of legal system, economic and social development. Other countries recently signing “strategic” pacts with Afghanistan are India, United States, France, Germany, Australia and Italy.
A Kabul hospital being run by the United States is now being investigated for abusing patients, in “Auschwitz like conditions”! The ass hole military commander in charge, U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Caldwell, and his deputy, Major General Gary Patton, are being accused of interfering with the investigation.
The accusers are whistleblowers and U.S. military investigators: “The evidence is clear to me that General Caldwell had the request withdrawn and postponed until after the [November 2010 U.S. congressional] election and then, after the election, tried to intimidate his subordinates into a consensus that it need not move forward at all.”-Retired U.S. Army Colonel Gerald Carozza Jr
Another investigator believes Caldwell was also acting on orders from the Department of Defense, citing a DoD memo which said: “Under no circumstances will they be shared outside of this command, transmitted via email, posted to the internet, or duplicated in any way without prior approval of the Command Surgeon….”-Jason Chaffetz, U.S. House Representative from Utah
In September 2011, the Wall Street Journal revealed that people in the U.S. run Dawood National Military Hospital were dying of simple infections and even starvation, because the patients did not have the money to pay for treatment or food!!! Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Schuyler Geller confirms the accusations in a memo, and is now an official witness.
Several high ranking officers blew the whistle on the Auschwitz operation, and were reprimanded by Caldwell: “Lt Gen Caldwell screamed at these three officers, waving his finger at them for trying to bring in the DoD IG [Inspector General].”-Retired U.S. Army Colonel Gerald Carozza Jr
Caldwell is also being investigated for violating the Military Whistleblower Protection Act.
In Uruzgan Province, someone bombed a local Mosque, killing five people. Local officials suspect the target was a judge, who was killed in the blast.

The Afghan Interior Ministry claim that more than 17 Mujahideen were killed in battles in Nangarhar, Kunduz, Balkh, Ghazni and Helmand provinces.
The following quotes are from Major General Aharon Ze’evi Farkash, former Israeli Defense Forces intelligence chief
“An attack is not a single strike and once it happens we are in a whole other world. Iran will pull out of the [nuclear] Non-Proliferation Treaty…..and it will be clear that they need a bomb now so that we cannot attack them again. This means that Israel will need legitimacy to be able to maintain the operation with more attacks within weeks, months and years after.”
“Israel without legitimacy will not be able to, over time, maintain the results of a successful attack.”
“I think that within this window it is difficult to imagine that something will happen a month before [U.S.] elections.”
“I don’t think the Syrian regime would collapse, but if it gets close to collapse, a new world war will erupt because China and Russia won’t let the regime in Syria collapse!”-Michel Aoun, Free Patriotic Movement
04 August 2012, a member of the Lebanese parliament warned that a third world war was guaranteed if Syria was attacked.
In a TV interview he also gave these warnings: “The U.S. is interested in Israel’s security and this requires targeting Syria.” also “There are already organizations loyal to Al-Qaeda under different names in the country and no one knows their connections.”
