“Obviously Israel is an independent country, and they’ll make whatever decisions they make on their own based on what they think is in their national interests….If they should make that decision, then obviously the United States would take action.”-Leon Panette, U.S. Secretary of Defense
“What’s coming now is increasing evidence that everything the U.S. Army has said is a lie!”-Gordon Duff, Veterans Today, USMC Vietnam veteran
The investigation made by a Afghan Parliament group, gave details of what they found regarding the “lone” U.S. shooting genocide in Panjwaii.
The investigators say there were between 15 and 20 U.S. troops, operating in two teams (squads), being backed up by two helicopters. Two, not one, villages were attacked. They also discovered that several women were raped!
Some of the witnesses interviewed were Afghan National Security Forces.
The attacks actually took place in two villages more than 1.5 kilometers (0.9 mile) apart. All the killings took place in less than 30 minutes, which makes it impossible for one person to hit two villages! Investigators say three sizes of bullets were used. In one house eleven bodies had been piled up and burned. Women had been raped.
A U.S. Vietnam War veteran, and current veterans activist, Gordon Duff, stated that it is impossible for a single soldier to walk off a U.S. base in Afghanistan: “When you’re in a forward position [Forward Operating Base FOB, Combat OutPost COP]….to leave a base requires a vehicle…a vehicle could not have left the compound at night without more than one person in it…to open the [compound] gate would have required the mission to be allowed…a watch officer, he would have had to have given permission, so they had permission…”
Duff went on to explain that the fact that the bodies were piled and burned is also proof that more than one person did the killing: “The fires would have been caused by pouring gasoline from what we call a cherry can [not everyone calls it that, my 13 years in service no one in the units I was in called it that, although I did hear it from other units] which weighs about 50 pounds. Nobody walked with one or more cans…they’re attached to the back of our vehicles…”
“What about the innocent families who have been brutally killed? The women who have been raped, the children who have been sliced up? Your enemies were the Taliban not innocent families.”-facebook posting
The above comment got a 19 year old man arrested by Yorkshire police, and facing charges of “racially aggravated public order offence”.
“We are moving four more minesweepers to the theater, making eight….We are moving Airborne Mine Countermeasure helicopters, that’ll take us to eight in theater.”-Admiral Jonathan Greenert, USN
The four Avenger class minesweeping ships, along with MH-53E Sea Dragon minesweeping helicopters, are being shipped from San Diego, California. It will be a few weeks before they arrive in U.S. puppet state of Bahrain.
March 16, 2012, Zabiullah Mujahid, “official” spokesman for the “Taliban” says they have launched yet another rocket attack against Bagram airfield.
He says two rockets were launched, causing casualties among U.S. led troops. The attack comes a day after Taliban ended negotiations with the United States.
An Associated Press report says the Obama Administration is hopeful they can resume negotiations with the Taliban.
The same report said Afghanistan’s President, Hamid Karzai said U.S. President Barack Obama actually called to confirm that he said he wanted U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by 2013: “He asked, ‘Did you announce this?’ I said, ‘Yes, I announced it.”‘-Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan
The AP article indicated that U.S. officials were not expecting such a backlash: “There was confusion among U.S. military officials and diplomats about just what Karzai was asking, and how far apart he is from current U.S. policy.”-Associated Press
The Grand Mufti of U.S. petrodollar triad member Saudi Arabia, has ordered that all churches on the Arabian Peninsula must be destroyed!
This follows yesterday’s announcement by Said al-Shihri, a leader of the U.S. created al Qaeda, who ordered the killing of all Shi’a Muslims in Saudi Arabia!
Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, is the highest official of religious law in Saudi Arabia, as well as the head of the Supreme Council of Islamic Scholars. He claims the Prophet Mohammed said the Arabian Peninsula can have only one religion.
The Grand Mufti’s declaration follows the announcement of a Kuwaiti politician, Osama al-Munawar, who said the Kuwaiti parliament will consider a law that will ban the construction of new Christian churches in Kuwait.
These calls for actions against Christians might be in retaliation for anti-Muslim statements made by U.S. leaders. Failed presidential candidate hopeful, Herman Cain, said he believed that U.S. Muslims were not protected by the Constitution: “They’re using the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their morals in that community, and the people of that community do not like it.”
Pat Buchanan told a radio host that the U.S. should find a way to ban the construction of new Mosques.
In 2009 Switzerland banned the building of Minarets. In 2010 France banned the wearing of anything that covered your face, the law is actually directed towards Muslim women.
Basically, the Christian West started the whole thing!
March 16, 2012, Iran’s Oil Ministry announced it will stop oil shipments to four more European Union members.
Back in February Iran stopped oil shipments to France and United Kingdom. Iran had also named four other EU countries that could lose their Iranian oil shipments.
Iranian media reporting that Iran will now stop oil shipments to those other countries. Those countries are Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
I’ve heard that claim before, but this time it might be for real, and in retaliation for Iran’s exclusion from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).
“It is a direct result of international and multilateral action to intensify financial sanctions against Iran.”-Lazaro Campos, CEO SWIFT
The SWIFT move will affect about 30 Iranian banks.
Washington DC insiders say it’s likely the United States will sanction India, for refusing to take part in the U.S. led oil sanctions against Iran: “Given the level of trade, and in particular oil, between Iran and India, targeting an Indian entity that facilitates Iran’s access to the international financial market should be top of mind for the U.S. Treasury.”-Avi Jorisch, former Treasury Department official
According to the International Energy Agency, India and South Korea have greatly increased the amount of oil they’re buying from Iran. Japan and South Korea are demanding exemptions from the U.S. oil sanctions, because British Petroleum was able to be exempted. (I told you Obama does not have the support of the International Community, as he claims)
ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) reported the largest opium drug bust in Afghanistan’s history.
“The raid resulted in approximately 4,000 pounds of suspected narcotics (the equivalent of $2.5 – 3 million) being removed from the battlefield. This was the biggest drug bust in ANSF National Interdiction Unit history.”-Captain Joseph Quirk, 2nd Battalion, 9th U.S. Marine Regiment
The USMC said the bust was made by Afghan National Security Forces, after the opium was spotted by a USMC UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle).
However, ISAF forces had also been tipped off about the opium, in an earlier raid in Marjeh district of Helmand Province.
Captain Quirk made what could be called a famous last statement: “The amount of money lost by the insurgency will significantly affect the insurgents’ capabilities and resources for the spring offensive saving ANSF and International Security Assistance Force lives.”
The spring offensive always comes, and the opium dealing increases year after year. How does that happen if we’re so good at making drug busts, throwing Afghans into prison without trial, and eradicating opium fields?
March 16, 2012, a Turkish helicopter crashed outside the city of Kabul. 12 Turkish personnel and two Afghan civilians were killed. Witness say the helicopter was having technical problems.
There are about 1,800 Turkish troops helping the U.S./NATO/ISAF forces in Afghanistan.
Last week “Taliban” claimed they shot down a U.S. helicopter, but no confirmation came from U.S. sources.
Also on March 16, a U.S. led NATO soldier was killed by road side bomb. No word on which country he was from.
Afghanistan’s President continues to condemn U.S. policies. Hamid Karzai said “This has been going on for too long. You have heard me before. It is by all means the end of the rope here!“ He was speaking to relatives of the Panjwaii shooting rampage, and reporters.
A man who’s brother and sister were killed shouted: “I don’t want any compensation! I don’t want money, I don’t want a trip to Mecca, I don’t want a house! I want nothing! But what I absolutely want is the punishment of the Americans! This is my demand, my demand, my demand and my demand!!!”
Under Islamic law it is the right of victims, or dead victims’ relatives, to determine what kind of justice is handed out.
Early March 16, 2012, six Arab countries announced they were closing their embassies in Syria.
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait, have also expelled Syrian ambassadors from their capitals.
