World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 12 Aug – 14 Aug. Coordinated bombings. Cops shoot U.S. led occupyers! Claims of new Pakistani attacks! U.S. to attack Pakistan!!!

14 August 2012

In Kunduz Province, late Tuesday night a motorcycle bomb went off, killing at least ten people and wounding 30 others.

In Nimroz Province, at least 30 people are dead, 60 wounded, after coordinated suicide bombings.  Suicide bombers launched their attack on the city of Zaranj.  Afghan police killed three bombers before they exploded themselves, but three other bombers were successful. The local police chief is among those killed. Local officials say the attackers are not from Nimroz Province.

In Kunar Province, local government officials claim the Pakistani military launched another attack on Afghan border posts.  A local security official said the Pakistani attack started at 04:00 hours, with artillery fire.  Afghans returned fire, and the battle lasted four hours.  At least one person killed, five wounded.

13 August 2012

In Nimroz Province, police killed two men they say were trying to launch a suicide attack on the city of Zaranj.

In Nangarhar Province, an Afghan policeman fired on U.S. led occupying troops.  NATO/ISAF officials say no one was hurt, the policeman fled the scene.  Local police officials say two occupying troops were wounded, along with one Afghan government troop.

Also in Nangarhar Province, a bomb went off near a Mosque in Jalalabad city, wounding five people.

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) will launch ground attacks on Mujahideen in Pakistan.  This is according to the Speaker of the House in Afghanistan’s parliament: “All complaints in regards to cross border incursion by Pakistan should be submitted to the coordinative center. ISAF will visit the area and conduct operation against the militants inside the Afghanistan soil and if complaints were received regarding cross border incursion by militants then ISAF will conduct operations with the Pakistani troops inside the Pakistan soil.”-Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi

According to Ibrahimi, USMC General John Allen told the Afghan parliament leaders that a new plan has been developed.  U.S. led occupying forces, along with Afghan government forces and Pakistani government forces, will work together to surround an area of Pakistan that is known as a safe haven for Mujahideen.  The Pakistani government has apparently agreed to allow U.S. ground troops into Pakistan to do battle with the Mujahideen.

In Ghazni Province, Mujahideen hanged a man after he kidnapped a child and then demanded ransom for its safe return.

In Takhar Province, a town mayor, and four other local government officials, were assassinated with a bomb.

In Kunar Province, local government officials claim the Pakistani military fired 45 rockets into their province.

ISAF stated: “Afghan and coalition security force arrested a senior Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan leader in Chahar Darah district, Kunduz province, today.”

The Defense Ministry of Afghanistan reported three Afghan soldiers killed, five wounded, in battles in Logar, Paktiya, Maidan Wardak and Helmand provinces.

12 August 2012

A political analyst in Afghanistan says it is the way the U.S. led occupiers are treating the Afghan government forces that’s causing the “green on blue” attacks: “…Afghan officers, even high ranking officers are being treated with a great deal of contempt by low ranking American officers, or low ranking NATO officers, in fact I have first hand observations on several occasions that Afghan colonels have been treated like dirt, if you will, by an American captain!”-Mohammed Daoud Miraki

In Herat Province, a village elder was assassinated when gunmen shot him in his house. His wife was wounded.

In Laghman Province, the provincial governor and his three bodyguards were killed when they drove over a mine.

Government Incompetence: U.S. Navy collides with Japanese oil tanker in Persian Gulf

12 August 2012, on the same day that Japan announced it was sending minesweepers to join the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf, a USN destroyer collides with a Japanese oil tanker.

It happened in the middle of the night, near the Hormuz Strait.  The USS Porter is badly damaged and must be repaired.  No injuries were reported. The USN is investigating why the crew of the USS Porter did not see the huge Japanese oil tanker.

There has been no word about damage to the tanker.

Japan had recently allowed the government backing of insurance for Japanese tankers carrying Iranian oil, as a way to get around U.S./European sanctions.  Japan also discussed with Iran the possibility of using Iranian insurance companies.

In the United Kingdom, attorneys have petitioned the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) regarding information given to the United States. That info was used to put together the infamous “kill list”, aka Joint Integrated Prioritized Target List (JIPTL): “Our client’s case suggests that the establishment and maintenance of the ‘killing list’ is not in line with the U.K.’s duties under international humanitarian law.”-Rosa Curling, attorney

10 August 2012

In Helmand Province, three U.S. Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) personnel were shot and killed by an Afghan employee working on the base they were stationed at.  Ignorant media referred to the Marines as Special Forces, which is normally the term used for U.S. Army Green Berets.  The shooter has been arrested.

Also in Helmand, earlier on the same day a local police commander invited four (U.S./British media says it was three) MARSOC personnel to his house to discuss security issues. Instead it was an ambush and the Marines were killed.  The police commander escaped.

Also in Helmand, British officials reported one of their occupying troops was shot and killed while on patrol.

Also in Helmand, six family members were killed, five wounded, after they drove over a mine.

Also in Helmand, ISAF claims to have captured a “leader”.

In Farah Province, three civilians killed, three wounded, after the mini-bus they were in drove over a mine.  Local officials say Mujahideen launched an attack right after the explosion, wounding a policeman.  Police claim they killed three Mujahideen and wounded two others.

ISAF stated: “Three International Security Assistance Force service members died following an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan today.”

ISAF also claims to have captured yet another “leader”, in Helmand Province.

In Maidan Wardak Province, local officials reported major battles.  Mujahideen attacked a security check post on Kabul-Bamiyan highway, as well as a NATO supply convoy.  No word on casualties.

In Kunar Province, suicide bombers attacked occupying NATO troops.  A local hospital official said at least one person was killed, three wounded.  Other reports say that at least three occupying personnel were killed.

A German newspaper, Express, reported that many weapons taken from Mujahideen are made in Germany.  Another report explained that Germany has been sending the Afghan government weapons for their military and police, however, at least 4,500 of those guns have disappeared from Afghan government control.  Not only that, but at least one third of the hundreds of thousands of U.S. weapons shipped to the Afghan government have disappeared!

While ISAF reported an 11% increase in Mujahideen attacks on occupying forces, the United Nations reports an overall 15% decrease in attacks upon civilians. However, the UN says that when looking at specifically attacks on civilians, that are blamed on Mujahideen, there is actually a 53% increase!

The ANA [Afghan National Army] has been able to build capacity but it lacks quality and that’s the worry.”

Global Economic War: British bank official tells the United States to F Off, literally!!!

“You fucking Americans! Who are you to tell us, the rest of the World, that we’re not going to deal with Iranians?”-attributed to Richard Meddings, finance director of Standard Chartered Group

According to U.S. banking regulators, the above statement was made by the British banking official back in 2006 (under the Bush Jr administration), after being questioned about money laundering!

Now the New York State Department of Financial Services named United Kingdom’s Standard Chartered a “rogue” bank, and threatens to strip its New York banking license.  The reason is that Standard Charter refuses to go along with U.S., and even British, financial sanctions against Iran.

Meanwhile, international commentators are saying this is proof that the United States has lost significant influence over the rest of the World, including their evil ally the British empire!

World War 3: The real reason France is getting out of Afghanistan; retake former colony Syria, French troops now on the Syrian border.

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).

World War 3: U.S. led NATO member Turkey invades Syria

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.

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 29 July – 31 July. U.S. violates night raid agreement, again! Auswitch in Kabul! Mujahideen profiting from NATO supply routes from Pakistan! Afghanistan on verge of war with Pakistan! Afghan cops behind new war with Tajikistan! ISAF investigation reveals Green on Blue attacks caused by ass hole U.S. led forces!

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.  Afghan government officials believe the shelling is part of a covert plan by Pakistan to flood Afghanistan with insurgents.

In Kunar Province, local government officials claim they’ve killed six militants, and captured three.  Officials say some of the militants were Pakistani.

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.

ISAF claims they arrested an explosives expert in Kunduz Province. They say he is part of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

29 July 2012

In Ghazni Province, local government officials claim they’ve launched a campaign against the Mujahideen, using local villagers as militia.

Also in Ghazni Province, more than 100 shops were burned down.  Local government officials are blaming it on an electrical short circuit. The fire was so huge that local officials asked U.S. led occupying forces to help put it out.

ISAF said: “Two International Security Assistance Force service members died following an insurgent attack in western Afghanistan today.”

In Kunar Province, four Afghan army officers were arrested.  They are accused of selling back weapons to Mujahideen, weapons that were confiscated in raids.

Also in Kunar Province, local officials claim Pakistan fired 250 rockets into the area.

In Kabul Province, and Afghan parliament member survived an assassination attempt.  Another official was wounded in the attack.

Also in Kabul Province, two people were sentenced to 16 years in prison for spying.  No official word on who they were spying for, but unnamed sources say they were working for Iran.

In Maidan Wardak Province, a local official was assassinated: “The Governor of Chak district, Mohammad Ismael Wafa, was on his way to office this morning when unidentified armed men opened fire on his vehicle killing him on the spot and injuring his son.”-official government statement

The Afghan Interior Ministry claim that more than 17 Mujahideen were killed in battles in Nangarhar, Kunduz, Balkh, Ghazni and Helmand provinces.
