World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 01-03 October 2013: Russia building up troops on border, preps for invasion? Obama regime allows Al Qaeda leader to run for president! More hypocrisy with taxpayer money! More illegal imprisonment by U.S. forces!

Helmand Province: Lashkargah City, Afghanistan’s version of Homeland Security, National Directorate of Security (NDS), bragged that they stopped a suicide bombing operation.  Guess what happened?  Major explosions rang out right after their claim.  A car bomb went off.  In a related incident, the mayor and a district assistant, from Garmsir District, were ambushed and assassinated by Mujahideen while they traveled to Lashkargah City.  In Nawa District, four Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers were killed when they drove over a landmine.  Two soldiers wounded.

Herat Province: One ANA soldier and two civilians wounded when an army vehicle ran over a landmine.

Kunar Province:  An attorney for NDS was assassinated by remote detonated bomb, as he drove to work. His body guards were wounded.

Parwan Province: Near Bagram airbase, the Investigating Fates of Prisoners Committee confirms that out of 519 cases investigated so far at least 433 Afghans have been unjustly imprisoned in the Parwan Detention Center (aka Afghanistan GITMO) by the U.S. military.  That’s an extremely high rate of illegal detentions!  The Parwan Detention Center was only recently turned over to the Afghan government by the United States.   There were more than 3-thousand people trapped inside at the time of the turnover.  Afghan courts have been releasing those prisoners where the U.S. has failed to provide documentation accusing them of a crime. This begs the question; why did the U.S. military imprison them?

“Afghan National Security Forces carried out several cleanup raids in Nangarhar, Faryab, Kandahar, Uruzgan and Ghazni provinces within the last 24 hours. As a result 26 armed Taliban were killed, two wounded and seven others were arrested by the ANSF”-Afghan Interior Ministry statement

Remember all the hate rhetoric about Osama bin Laden being responsible for creating al Qaeda, and providing them safe haven in Afghanistan?  Turns out that was BS!  So now that Osama bin Laden is dead the actual person responsible for bringing al Qaeda to Afghanistan is now running for President!  Abu Sayyaf is so influential that even an al Qaeda rebel group in the Philippines named themselves after him.  Abu Sayyaf is considered the mentor to Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the man accused of planning the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.  So why did the U.S. have to kill Osama, and why haven’t they gone after Abu Sayyaf?

Speaking of the NDS, investigators looked into the kidnapping of a female member of parliament (remember that one?) and now accuse the woman’s brother of orchestrating the kidnapping.  I was suspicious when the family repeatedly denied the woman had been kidnapped, even though nobody could explain where she was.

Reports that a former Afghan National Army soldier was arrested in Pakistan.  He’s wanted for killing three Australian Diggers. But get this, according to the Aussie government the guy was arrested back in February!  No explanation why they waited until now to report it.

Taxpayers from dozens of U.S. led NATO member countries are spending $200-million USD to teach Afghan soldiers how to read, this while NATO member countries slash and burn their own education funding!

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR) is warning that a new program could waste another $1-billion in U.S. tax money.  The wise U.S. leaders are planning to give the Afghan National Police (ANP) unlimited U.S. tax dollars so the ANP can buy fuel, without oversight: “The ANP fuel program….remains at high risk of loss, theft, or misuse of U.S. funds and purchased fuel and, if not improved, may increasingly place large amounts of U.S. funds at risk of fraud, waste, and abuse.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

The Afghan Mines and Petroleum Ministry estimates that Afghanistan’s mineral resources, including oil, are worth about $1 trillion.  However, one analyst has a warning: “The sector, as a whole, is operating in a very uncontrolled way. There’s no oversight.”-Stephen Carter, Global Witness

In a now typical hypocritical move, the U.S. Senate passed a bill that would allow Iraqis who worked for the U.S. government to extend their visas.  This after the U.S. State Department began reneging on visas issued to Afghans who work for the U.S. government.

Tajikistan has allowed Russia to station more troops on their border with Afghanistan.  Also, Russia has promised to increase military weaponry to Tajikistan.  Russian and Tajik officials admit their military buildup is in preparation for the supposed 2014 U.S.-NATO pullout.  The renewed Russian-Tajik military pact is in effect until 2042!

Exceptional Failed State: Too Big to Jail JP Morgan Chase denies yet confirms martial law on your bank account! Is it really because the bank is broke?

17 October 2013 (14:17 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/25 Mehr 1391/13 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

Officials with JP Morgan Chase are denying they are imposing “capital controls” by blocking international money transfers and limiting the amount of money you can have in your account.  But they did confirm they are “derisking” certain accounts!

Could the Too Big to Jail international bank be doing this as a result of $1-billion USD in fines imposed by United States and United Kingdom?  That’s because of their $6-billion loss in the London Whale investment scheme.  Is JP Morgan Chase broke?

For more evidence that JP Morgan Chase is broke, Marketwatch is now calling it the biggest single job killer in the U.S.  The Too Big to Fail bank is laying off at least 19-thousand employees!

Some “exepctionism”!

Exceptional Failed State: Too Big to Jail Chase bank imposes martial law on your bank account! Other World banks prepping for financial collapse!

16 October 2013 (12:57 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Dhu’l-Hijja 1434/24 Mehr 1391/12 Ren-Xu (9th month) 4711

“Starting November 17, 2013:- You will no longer be able to send international wire transfers……- Your cash activity limit for these accounts(s) will be $50,000 per statement cycle, per account…….These changes will help us more effectively manage the risks….”-official letter sent to Chase customers

“US banks have been stocking cash machines with extra funds to satisfy any consumer panic in the days before a possible default.  Three of the country’s top-10 banks said they were putting into place a ‘playbook’ last used in August 2011 when the government last came close to breaching the debt ceiling.”-The Financial Times  (note that U.S. is not punctuated as should be under American grammar rules, that’s because Financial Times is a British empire company using Queen’s English grammar rules, this is also how you can tell that your U.S. news sources are controlled by the British empire)

“I would expect the Bank of England to be planning for it.  I’d expect private-sector actors to be doing that, and in other countries as well….”-Jon Cunliffe, Bank of England, in statement regarding U.S. financial collapse to U.K. parliament

“Today we agreed the next big step in making London, already the global center for finance, a major global center for trading and now investing the Chinese currency….”-George Osborne, U.K. Exchequer, revealing that the British empire is prepping to abandon the U.S. dollar and switch to the Chinese yuan as the new World default currency

“We have to find a solution now! The next financial crisis is not going to wait for us.”-Michel Barnier, European Union

“The effectiveness of this exercise [to identify cash starved banks] will depend on the availability of necessary arrangements for recapitalizing banks….including through the provision of a public backstop [taxpayer bailouts]. These arrangements must be in place before we conclude our assessment.”-Mario Draghi, Germany based European Central Bank, concerning at least 130 vulnerable European banks

Note that preventing citizens from sending money out of the country (see above, Chase bank) is proof that the country is a Failed State.  Is this what Obama means by “exceptionalism”?

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 27-30 September 2013: USAF doubles air strikes! Karzai pisses off Hagel! More proof the Great Game continues!

Badakhshan Province: Munjan District, Mujahideen overran the Afghan National Police’s (ANP) district HQ.  ANP officials said they abandoned the HQ to “avoid civilian casualties”.   ANP claim they recaptured their HQ the next day.

Ghazni Province: Deh Yak District, a van full of adults & children ran over a landmine.  Three killed, nine wounded.   In Muqur District, a U.S.-NATO air strike (aka weapons release) killed ten people.

Helmand Province: Marja City, a suicide bomber killed himself and one cop.  Three people wounded.  Two USMC generals were forced to retire early for their lack of competence regarding the September 2012 Muahideen attack on Camp Bastion.  A U.S. Marine investigation concluded that the generals “did not take adequate force protection measures within the range of responses proportionate to the threat”.

Herat Province: Mujahideen attacked a local police marital law check point.  Nine people killed, three wounded.

Kabul Province:  Kabul City, hundreds of protestors demanded the United States get the hell out!  Another report, that despite the war luxury home building is skyrocketing in Kabul City.  Property developers are taking a big risk, pouring millions of dollars into grand mansions.  I wonder where they got the money from?  Many of the homes were built in the hopes foreign occupiers would rent them, so property developers are a little worried about the supposed NATO 2014 pullout.

Kandahar Province: Report that a U.S.-NATO drone “weapons release” killed two people.

Logar Province:  Mohammad Agha District, a local political candidate was assassinated, along with three local teachers.  The district governor was wounded.  Police don’t know who did it.

Maidan Wardak Province: Jalriz District, ISAF confirms that a U.S.-NATO drone “weapons release” killed seven people.

Paktia Province: Report that a U.S.-NATO drone “weapons release” killed three people.

Uruzgan Province: A minibus full of passengers drove over a landmine.  Two people killed, many wounded.

The Afghan Ministry of the Interior claims 14 Mujahideen killed, three wounded and 12 captured in Faryab, Kandahar, Zabul, Uruzgan, Ghazni, Paktiya and Paktika provinces.

The USAF has reported that U.S.-NATO drone and manned aircraft “weapons releases” (air strikes) in the month of September were about double that of August.

The Afghan news media reported that China is pushing President Hamid Karzai to accept a new military pact with the United States.  The bi-lateral agreement is being pushed by the Obama regime as a way of legally keeping U.S. troops in Afghanistan after the 2014 NATO pullout.  Karzai continues to insist he’s in no rush to sign such an agreement.  U.S. Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, is pissed: “I hope we’ll have that agreement by the end of October, because we just can’t move without it.”

In the U.S. state of Oklahoma, the Army National Guard’s 1245th Transportation Company returned home from Afghanistan.  Armed Forces Reserve Center officials said the crowd of civilian/family welcomers was the largest ever.

At the United Nations, several Central Asian countries stated that the U.S. instigated instability in Afghanistan is the real threat to global security.  The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan said it’s all about the Great Game played by western empires, because Central Asia is rich: “The Asian continent is transforming itself into a global power house for the 21st century, with its production of more than 57% of global GDP, and this trend is expected to increase. However, this growth could be jeopardized by an aggravation of existing conflicts, illegal migration, drug trafficking, territorial claims, separatism, religious extremism and terrorism.”-Erlan Idrissov

 

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 24-26 September 2013: More Green on Blue, local U.S. media hides it! U.S. run hospitals actually NAZI killing fields for Afghan victims? U.S. stabs Afghan interpreters in the back! Will Afghanistan kill NATO?

Helmand Province: Lashkargah City, a car bomb exploded.  Not counting the suicide bomber; one cop killed, one cop wounded, four civilians wounded.

Kunduz Province: Khanabad District, local government officials say Mujahideen captured four Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel.

Maidan Wardak Province: Saidabad District, a U.S. airstrike (aka Weapons Release) killed five people.  Provincial government officials say two of those killed were Arabs.

Nangarhar Province: Chaparhar District, a baby girl was born with an almost complete second head!  Two headed children are not as rare as you might think, but successfully removing a second head is.  Doctors said in this case they were successful.

Paktia Province: A U.S. Army Staff Sergeant from Pennsylvania was killed.  Reports are confusing; local Pennsylvania news media has led the people of Milton to believe he was killed in combat, but in reality he was killed by a “Green on Blue” attack by Afghan government military/police personnel (aka National Security Forces).  Another U.S. troop was wounded.  The shooter from the Afghan government was killed.

The Afghan Ministry of the Interior claims 49 Mujahideen killed in police and army ops in the provinces of Helmand, Farah, Herat, Logar, Uruzgan, Zabul, Kandahar, Balkh, Badakhshan and Kunduz.  Eight Mujahideen wounded, 11 captured.

Pakistan says another artillery rocket attack was launched against them, from Afghanistan.  Two people killed, one wounded.

The U.S. Department of State has been quietly revoking travel visas issued to Afghan interpreters working for the U.S. Department of Defense.  Many interpreters have been applying for Special Immigrant status so they can move their families to the U.S. after the supposed 2014 NATO pullout, because it is common knowledge they and their families will be assassinated for helping U.S. forces.  But, suddenly the Obama regime State Department began revoking those visas.  Is this a stab in the back or is it more proof the U.S. is not leaving Afghanistan?

U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Caldwell, and Major General Gary Patton, are accused of blocking investigations into corruption and abuse at U.S. Army run Afghan hospitals.  This includes the intentional starvation of Afghan patients!  The investigation into the goings on at Dawood National Military Hospital began back in 2011.  The Joseph Mengele (NAZI doctor aka Angel of Death) like conditions of the hospital were revealed in 2011 when an inspector general released his inspection results without the customary notification to generals Caldwell and Patton.  It turns out the two generals had been blocking previous inspection results from public release!  This means the hospital was probably a U.S. run death camp for years prior.

Ignorant U.S. Army Lieutenant General, Mark Milley, recently stated the U.S. presence in Afghanistan was being reduced “…because of the society fundamentals that have changed…”.  Really?  Was he talking about society fundamentals of Afghanistan or the United States?

The U.S. Department of Defense announced the deployment of about 75-hundred to 8-thousand U.S. Army troops to Afghanistan, to take place in October.

U.S. Senator Mark Kirk, from Illinois, revealed that the United States is trying to hand over military control of Afghanistan to India: “I have long felt that the best way out of Afghanistan is through New Delhi, is to have a military alliance with India that we encourage India to roll into Afghanistan….”

In New York, U.S.A., a U.S. citizen was found guilty of trying to sell weapons, including guided missiles, to Mujahideen.  He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.  However, the federal trial was a sham.  It was only two weeks long and did not involve a jury (called a Bench Trial)!  It was part of a sting operation set up by U.S. government.  Sting operations are government set ups of people who normally wouldn’t have committed such crimes on their own.  At least five other people are being railroaded.

The Washington Times reports that the U.S. Army’s cyber intell ops in Afghanistan are so open to hackers that the DoD has given it 60 days to fix or replace the system.  Specifically, the Distributed Common Ground System (aka D-sigs, DCGS) failed a readiness test.  The warning on the cyber intell system’s failure was issued on 05 September by U.S. Command in Kabul, and made public by The Washington Times on 24 September.

According to the Fiscal Times, the high cost of U.S. led NATO operations in Afghanistan, and the bad economies of most NATO members, will kill the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.  Currently, only three NATO members are meeting their payment requirements for membership: United Kingdom, United States and Greece.

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 21-23 September 2013: Karzai continues pointing finger at Obama regime! False Flag Alert: Drugs used to turn people into suicide bombers!

“In past 24 hours, Afghan National Police backed by the national army and the NATO-led coalition forces have conducted a series of operations in Kunar, Kapisa, Zabul, Uruzgan, Maidan Wardak, Logar, Paktika and Herat provinces, which left 46 armed Taliban dead.”-Interior Ministry of Afghanistan

Badakhstan Province: In Wardooj District, Mujahideen released seven captured Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel.  It’s not known what happened to the other ANA soldiers that were captured, originally the Mujahideen said the soldiers willingly joined them.

Balkh Province: In Chahar Bolok District, an explosion killed five people and wounded eight.  Witnesses say it was a suicide bomber.  In Zherai District, reports that a cop attacked his fellow cops.  At least one cop killed.

Farah Province: In Farah Rod District, government Israeli style home invasions resulted in 12 people, including a religious leader, being kidnapped.  One villager was shot and wounded.

Kandahar Province: In Shorabak District, Mujahideen attacked border police, leaving 11 dead.  Mujahideen claim they killed 16.

Kabul Province: ISAF reported two Romanian NATO soldiers were killed by explosion and gun shots in eastern Afghanistan. One of the Romanians was on his second tour.

Kapisa Province: In Nijrab District, the Afghan Interior Ministry claims 11 Mujahideen were killed in battle.  24 Mujahideen wounded.

Kunduz Province: In Chahar Dara District, a local National Directorate of Security (Homeland Security) agent was assassinated.  This is the second assassination of a government official, and police say they still don’t know who’s doing it.  However, Mujahideen claim credit for the assassinations.  In the same district an Israeli style home invasion by government forces resulted in one person being kidnapped.

Kunar Province: In Ghaziabad District a U.S.-NATO drone strike killed one man.  Afghan government officials say the man was a Mujahideen commander.  However, independent reports say at least four people were killed.

Paktia Province: In Gardez city, a Colorado National Guard Special Forces Staff Sergeant, and a Rhode Island National Guard Staff Sergeant (but resident of New Jersey), and one Specialist from California were killed by an Afghan government troop.  The Colorado Guardsman was already recovering from a previous combat wound, and was one month away from the end of his enlistment.  Also, reports that a U.S.-NATO recon drone crashed.  Mujahideen did not claim they shot it down, but confirmed a drone crashed and burned.

Zabul Province: People protested yet another U.S. led killing of civilians.  They claim U.S.-NATO forces killed two people in Shahjoi District.  One report said 10-thousand people packed the streets of Shahjoi District bazaar, protesting the U.S. occupation.

President Hamid Karzai continues to insist that terrorism is coming from outside Afghanistan.  He continues to imply it is being supported by countries like the United States, it’s the main reason he is holding off on signing a military pact with the Obama regime: “We have an appropriate analysis of the current situation of Afghanistan, and we know who are involved behind plotting destruction of Afghanistan, and those who are sending suicide bombers to Afghanistan.”

Afghan security officials say in recent interrogations of captured attempted suicide bombers, it’s been revealed that people are being drugged with Selective Serotonin Receptor Inhibitors and/or opium, then abused psychologically and physically.  A captured potential suicide bomber says people are drugged up to the point of passing out.  These drugs are the similar to those prescribed to mass shooters in the United States!

Russian officials say the opium drug industry in Afghanistan is surprisingly well managed, under the U.S. occupation.  Russian investigators have discovered huge stockpiles of illegal drugs in Afghanistan: “Around 40,000 tons of opiates are already stored there. So, in fact, they have reached saturation point.”-Viktor Ivanov, Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service

Former Taliban political party finance minister, Mullah Agha Jan Motasim, says what is happening in Afghanistan is the fault of the occupiers, and the invaders have made peace impossible: “The international community bears responsibility for this……After all the bloodletting, we would have to work with people we are fighting.”

ISAF revealed that after the supposed 2014 pullout, the military occupation now known as Operation Enduring Freedom will continue under the title Operation Resolute Support.

Pakistan says a rocket launched from Afghanistan killed one person, and wounded at least one.  Pakistan also says a mortar attack from Afghanistan wounded two people.  They also claim militants from Afghanistan attacked a village in Pakistan.

The Nation reporting that the number of deaths in Afghanistan could be much higher than reported, because Afghan national and provincial governments are actually charging a fee to release such info to the media.

 

 

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 18-20 September 2013: Cops killing cops, again! Senator joins Mujahideen! U.S. forces attacking schools! At least $6 trillion in taxpayer rip offs!

Badakhshan Province:  A major battle in Wardooj District resulted in at least 23 Afghan National Police (ANP) being killed, and 21 wounded.  This is from official ANP reports.  Mujahideen claim another 24 cops switched sides and joined them.  ANP officials say the Mujahideen kidnapped them.

Helmand Province: In Khanshin District dozens of ANP turned their guns on each other after an argument.  Three killed, seven wounded.   In Lashkargah city, a NATO-ISAF convoy was hit with a remote detonated land mine.  The report was made by local police.

Sar-e-Pul Province: A former police commander, as well as being a former senator in the Afghan parliament, has officially joined the Mujahideen.  Dozens of other people in the province joined the Mujahideen as well.

Kunar Province: In Chapa Dara District a U.S. drone strike killed at least six people.  U.S. officials claim they were all militants (as usual).  An investigation into a U.S. drone strike in the same province the week before revealed that women and children were killed.  It is official U.S. policy to label anyone killed in an airstrike a militant.

Maidan Wardak Province: Local government officials say a U.S. led raid on a grade school killed a teenaged student in Syedabad District.  Several students were wounded.  There are also reports that a U.S. drone strike killed seven people and wounded several others.

Uruzgan Province: In Char Chino District Mujahideen ambushed a Australian Digger patrol.  At least three Diggers wounded.  Australian Defence Force officials confirmed the attack.

Faryab Province: In Qaisar District a battle between Afghan government forces and Mujahideen resulted in several Mujahideen killed and wounded.  But it also forced the government personnel to retreat from Nawabad village.  Reports say villagers were also killed.

Kunduz Province: The independent election commission boss was assassinated.  Police don’t know who did it.

Nangarhar Province: An ANP district boss was fired after an investigation revealed he was terrifying the local population with his authority.  Specifically, he was trying to influence how people will vote in the 2014 elections.

Paktika Province: Police arrested a suspect in the assassination of a Indian woman who wrote a book about repression of women in Afghanistan.  Police say the suspect claims he is a Mujahid, however, the main Mujahideen group in Afghanistan denies they had anything to do with it: “We reject claims that Mujahideen were involved in the killing of the Indian woman. It is a propaganda by government officials to defame the Mujahideen.”

Kabul Province: In Kabul city an explosion destroyed a police vehicle.  Police say it was a magnetic bomb, no person was hurt.

Kandahar Province: The fast food bazaar known as Kandahar Airfield Boardwalk, is being closed down.  The Boardwalk was built to provide U.S.-NATO personnel with access to U.S. fast food restaurants, as well as Canadian and European restaurants and retailers, it’s being closed in anticipation of the supposed 2014 pullout.  The question is, was the Boardwalk built with tax dollars, for the benefit of U.S., Canadian and European corporations?

Pakistan says Afghan border patrol troops shot and killed five Pakistanis, and wounded three others.

In an example of hypocrisy, Afghan government officials accused Pakistan of being a safe haven for illegal drugs production.

A USA Today report said the $3 billion USD cost of returning U.S. military equipment to the United States, is “cheap”.   However, a McClatchy report said it will actually cost U.S. taxpayers $7 billion!

A report by The Nation shows the U.S. military round-a-boutly acknowledges killing innocents, in the form of payments to the surviving family members.  However, officially the payments are called “assistance” and U.S. officials continue to deny innocent people are being killed.  ISAF keeps no records of such assistance payments.  The Nation acquired a 1-thousand page CentCom report, through the Freedom of Information Act, which shows that between 2008 and 2011 massive amounts of assistance payments were made, however, the exact amount is not known because military officials redacted that info.   Taxpayers should be pissed off, because these tax dollar funded “assistance” payments are the result of tax dollar paid military and contractor personnel killing innocent people!

According to Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, at this point in the game, the U.S. occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is costing taxpayers $6 trillion!  So far, taxpayers have paid for only $260 billion in interest payments on the war debt!  Who ever thinks war is good for the economy is a fool (or involved in the military industrial complex)!

Stars and Stripes reporting that a new USAF Contingency Aeromedical Staging Facility is being built at a secret location in the Middle East. It will be used as a medical “hub” for U.S. personnel wounded in Afghanistan after the supposed 2014 pullout!

Maidan Wardak Province: In Jaghatu District six people killed by U.S.-NATO airstrike.  Another person killed in another district by U.S.-NATO drone strike.  Turkish news media reporting Afghan government led night time Israeli style home invasions resulted in a major battle with Mujahideen.  It happened in Maidan Shahr town.  Dozens of people killed.  Government officials say two of those killed were from Pakistan.

Samangan Province:  A coal mine collapse killed 27 people and injured 20.  At last report at least 40 people are trapped.  Reports say an electrical short caused and explosion in the mine.  Most mining operations in Afghanistan are run by foreign companies.

Kunar Province: Local government officials claim Pakistan fired more than 40 artillery rockets into Afghanistan.  No casualties reported, but homes were damaged.  In Darah District, Mujahideen report they ambushed an Afghan government military convoy.  40 government troops killed, 25 wounded.  Five Mujahideen killed.

Nimroz Province:  In Delaram District, a bus full of people drove over a land mine.  15 people killed, at least 25 wounded.

Kabul Province: National Directorate of Security (NDS, equivalent of the U.S. Homeland Security Department) forces tried to brake up a planned suicide bombing, but firefights erupted and one bomber blew himself up.  Two Mujahideen shot and killed.

Faryab Province: Chinese news media reporting that Israeli style night time home invasions by Afghan government forces resulted in battles with Mujahideen.  At least 14 people killed.

Zabul Province: In Shahjoi District, government forces conducted an Israeli style home invasion.  Two people kidnapped.  Villagers say they later found the bodies of the two kidnap victims “brutally martyred”.

Balkh Province: In Chahar Bolak District, an Israeli style home invasion resulted in the kidnapping of a religious scholar.

Ghor Province: Teyura District, Afghan government forces rampaged after Mujahideen successfully ambushed them.  The Afghan government troops ransacked a bazaar and then killed two people because their ethnicity is the same as that of the majority of people who make up the local Mujahideen.

Farah Province: More than 200 prisoners are on hunger strike.  Prisoners claim they’ve been detained for bogus reasons, and most have been in prison for at least six months without being charged with a crime!

Iran has restated it will help Afghanistan fight illegal drug trafficking: “We are ready to make our utmost efforts to transfer our experiences to countries like Afghanistan.”-General Ali Moayyedi, Iranian national police

The U.S. state of Indiana is deploying its Army National Guard to Afghanistan.  About 130 members of the the 1638th Transportation Company are on their way.

The U.S. state of Montana saw the return of their Army National Guard soldiers.  69 soldiers of the 495th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion returned from nine months at Kandahar airbase.  Montana Army National Guard still has 145 soldiers in Kuwait.

The government of Afghanistan has approved an official trade logo for products made in their country.  It says “Afghanistan Amazingly Real”.  Yeah, when you could lose your life at any moment that makes life very ‘real’.

President Hamid Karzai has restated that he will not rush into a new military pact with the United States, despite haranguing by the Obama regime.

The Australian Defence Forces (ADF) minister says their Special Forces Diggers will stay in Afghanistan after the supposed 2014 NATO pullout.  It depends on what happens with the new Afghan-U.S. military pact that the Obama regime is pushing for.  The minister also revealed that Australia will be building up their military: “I undertake to the men and women of the ADF that the Abbott government will rebuild defence, to ensure it is properly resourced, equipped and managed”-David Johnston

According to reports out of Australia, despite claims of extreme discrimination against women in Afghanistan, the parliament of Afghanistan has more women than in the ‘democratic’ Australian parliament, and Afghanistan has more women in parliament than the parliament of United Kingdom!  I suspect the same can be said for the U.S. Congress.

U.S. home improvement retailer, Ace Hardware, feels the situation in Afghanistan is better than the crashing economy in the United States.  In 2014 Ace Hardware will open their first Afghan store in Mazar-e Sharif.  But wait, here’s the real reason; Ace Hardware is taking advantage of the ongoing U.S. contractor corruption.  U.S. taxpayer funded contractors are the primary target of Ace Hardware!

A New York based U.S. Army weapons maker revealed that U.S. tax dollars are paying for weapons for the Afghan government.  Watervliet Arsenal recently supplied the Afghan government with 918 60mm mortars at a cost to taxpayers of $6 million USD!

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 11-14 September 2013: 73% of U.S. casualties under Obama Regime! If you ride a motorcycle you are the enemy! Karzai asks for more support from Russia!

A U.S. Army Staff Sergeant from Fontana, California, died from non-combat wounds.  The incident happened back in April, the U.S. Army refused to explain what happened.  An Indiana Army National Guard Staff Sergeant died at Camp Phoenix, Kabul.  He died from an “illness”.

A report by CNSNews says 73% of U.S. military casualties in Afghanistan have happened under the regime of Barack Obama.

Kunduz Province, Chahar Darah District, reports that U.S. led government forces conducted night time Israeli style home invasions. 16 people kidnapped.  There are also reports that contracted government security personnel are confiscating motorcycles.  So far 150 ‘cycles have been stolen by government forces in the province.

Helmand Province, Marjah District, reports say that a man who had just loaded his motorcycle with a container of fuel for his farm operation, was killed by U.S. led drone strike.  Apparently U.S. led NATO-ISAF forces thought it was a bomb!  In Washir District, reports that U.S. led government forces conducted night time Israeli style home invasions. Six “white beard” elders kidnapped.  In Babaji District, at least three civilians kidnapped during U.S. led government forces night time Israeli style home invasions.

Nangarhar Province, Mujahideen claim a successful attack on Jalalabad airbase.  They say three rockets damaged the runway where drones (UAV) are parked.  Three rockets hit the helicopter park.  They say eight drones destroyed and two ‘copters destroyed.  Dozens of casualties.

Herat Province, suicide bombers attacked the U.S. consulate.  A local hospital official said two security guards were killed and 19 people wounded.  Mujahideen say casualties are closer to 100, because they used eight metric tons of explosives and eight suicide bombers (one suicide bomber was supposedly a doctor)!

Paktika Province, a suicide bomber hit an Afghan government military-police convoy.  21 people wounded, about half are civilians.

A Canadian veteran of Afghanistan has published a book, in which he states that U.S. led NATO troops deliberately used the bodies of dead Afghans to set traps for Mujahideen.  He admitted it didn’t work.

The U.S. Department of Defense revealed they are pushing wounded personnel back into the combat zone sooner than usual: “The Intra-Theater Care Program, which the Air Force has operated at an undisclosed location in South West Asia since 2008, is designed to return personnel who have been wounded or injured in Afghanistan to duty there within 30 days.”-Stars and Stripes

The UN Integrated Regional Information Networks reporting that ever since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, land is being stolen from rightful owners, and is the main cause of ongoing fighting: “In a 2008 survey by Oxfam, respondents said land issues were the leading cause of insecurity…..Higher-profile fights between government and international forces and anti-government militants were considered far less important.”

World War 3, U.S. Domestic-Economic Front: Silent Death, you don’t even know you’re being killed!

“The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that they are being attacked and subdued by a weapon.

The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong, but that is because of the technical nature of the silent weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational way, or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves against it.

When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.”–Operations Research Technical Manual TM-SW7905.1, May 1979
