World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: More proof the U.S. ain’t leavin’! More proof U.S. & U.K. behind illegal drugs, Iran says ‘I told you so!’ More proof of U.S. corruption!

27 June 2013/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Helmand Province, Musa Kala District, a Mujahid sniper claims he killed a NATO/ISAF troop.  In Nad Ali District, reports that a NATO/ISAF tank was blown up by a landmine.  Two crew killed, two wounded.  Mujahideen say they ambushed a dismounted patrol in the same district.

Members of the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan Party are condemning plans by the United States to establish permanent military bases after the 2014 ‘pullout’.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, the U.K.’s Guardian news source reports a booming housing market.  One driver is that apparently rents have dropped, however, the article points out that the money supporting such a “…lavish lifestyle has been funded by an influx of foreign money and the proceeds from drugs, which have enriched a tiny elite while most of the country still grapples with desperate poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy and some of the lowest-life-expectancy in the world.”

The Guardian also reported that many property developers in Kabul do not believe the U.S./NATO is leaving in 2014: “Everyone says the Americans are leaving but they are not. They have invested too much in Afghanistan. The current problems are just politics by the U.S. to help them negotiate their strategic pact.”-Hasan Ali Sakhizada, wealthy property developer

Red Coat Simon Cowl is jumping on the corruption bandwagon and taking his …Got Talent TV show to Afghanistan.

The U.S. Department of Defense stated they want to continue funding contracted propaganda mills in Afghanistan.   This despite a recent Government Accountability Office report that says such funding of propaganda is just throwing taxpayer money down the toilet!  The top private producer of propaganda in Afghanistan is the Leonie Group.  Last year the corrupt co-owner, Camille Chidiac, was suspended for using taxpayer money to launch an anti-news media propaganda campaign directed at USA Today!

It’s been revealed that $70 million U.S. tax dollars meant for agricultural development in Afghanistan has disappeared!  Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) blamed the problems on USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)!  SIGAR also said that farm equipment, like irrigation pumps and solar panels, ended up being used in the homes of elites!  (World War 3, False Flag Front: USAID a covert terrorist organization?)

A little history lesson: What was former Prime Minister of U.K. Harold Macmillan’s first rule of politics? Answer: “Don’t invade Afghanistan!”

26 June 2013/17 Sha’ban 1434/05 Tir 1391/19 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Paktia Province, Zormat district, Mujahideen report they ambushed a supply convoy.  They claim five trucks destroyed, one escorting military vehicle destroyed, and at least three people killed or wounded.

In Baghlan Province, Baghlan-e-Markazi District, Mujahideen captured a Afghan National Army (ANA) base.  The ANA then sent troops to take back the base, but after five hours of battle the ANA lost.  Mujahideen say they killed 13 ANA troops and wounded nine others.  They destroyed four vehicles and captured a large amount of weapons and ammo.  Two Mujahideen killed, two wounded.

The country of Georgia is now the top non-NATO country occupying Afghanistan, according to NATO.

USMC General James F. Amos says what military equipment the Marines can’t send back to the U.S. will be given away to other countries, or that “Anything that gets left in that country that has ‘USMC’ on the side will be purposefully left by General Dunford, or General Austin.”

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports that the U.S. controlled Afghanistan has broken another record year in illegal drug production.  In 2012 Afghanistan supplied 74% of the World’s illegal drugs!  Way to go U.S.A.!

In Iran, the National Security Commission accused the United Kingdom, as well as the United States, of being behind the explosive illegal drugs trade in Afghanistan.  Since the 2001 invasion, hundreds of Iranian border guards have been killed by drug traffickers out of Afghanistan.  Iran has spent at least $50 million fighting drug trafficking from Afghanistan in the past eight years.  Also, 100 metric tons of illegal drugs from Afghanistan were burned in public displays throughout Iran.  Officials condemned recent accusations from U.K. officials, that Iran is the one trafficking drugs to Europe, saying the U.K and U.S. are not doing anything to stop drug trafficking from Afghanistan: “Iran is at the front line of fighting narcotics, but countries involved not only don’t provide assistance to us, they refuse to provide the basic equipment such as sniffer dogs and electronic equipment!”-General Ahmad Reza Radan, Commander of Iranian Police Forces

In Kabul Province, Bagrami District, the U.S. SIGAR says two schools built by U.S. funded contractors are so unsafe they threaten the lives of the students: “Specifically the school’s interior and exterior walls appear to be insufficiently constructed to hold the weight of the concrete ceiling.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

Iranian Deputy Energy Minister, Alireza Daemi, announced Iran will build a water treatment plant in Kabul city.  Unlike the U.S. which throws taxpayer money at contractors with any oversight, Iran strictly controls their projects in Afghanistan, which include roads and power lines.

In United States, a federal appeals court has rejected the appeal of a U.S. contractor convicted of trying to smuggle $150000 out of Afghanistan.  He tried to ship the taxpayer cash from Bagram airbase to Kansas, in a DHL box.

In Germany, the U.S. Army’s 2nd Cavalry (Cav-all-ry, not Calvary. Calvary is the hill Jesus was crucified on) Regiment held a deployment ceremony.  The regiment’s 2000 soldiers have been ordered back to Afghanistan!  They will be based in Kandahar Province.

25 June 2013/16 Sha’ban 1434/04 Tir 1391/18 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Ghazni Province, reports that four Polish-NATO troops killed, two wounded, apparently after their armored vehicle hit a landmine.

In Logar Province, Poli Alam city, a car bomb rammed a regional police headquarters, as many as 25 people killed, including top police commanders.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, eight suicide bombers/attackers killed themselves and several government security guards when they attacked the Presidential Palace.  Mujahideen said the target was the CIA office inside the compound, along with two U.S. Generals.

In Kandahar Province, Arghandab District, a bus ran over a landmine killing nine people and wounding three others.

In Uruzgan Province, Deh Rawud District, six Afghan National Police were killed when they drove over a landmine.   They were on their way home from operations against Mujahideen.

The U.S. Army admitted the Mujahideen were right when they said they killed U.S. soldiers on 23 June: In Paktika Province, Sar Rowzah District, the U.S. Army says a Specialist who’s home state was California, was killed by explosion.  In Paktia Province, Zormat District, the U.S. Army admitted a Sergeant who’s home state was Maine was killed by explosion.

World War 3: Pope angers the power elites! Will he survive to the end of the year?

27 June 2013 (21:55 UTC-07 Tango 26 June 2013)/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

Pope Francis recently upset religious ideologues saying: “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone. ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!“

It seems Pope Francis is setting the stage to fulfill Nostradamus’ prophesies (a short seven month career, victory of the East over the West, and civil war among Christians).

Pope Francis just issued the order that a “Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!”

Pope Francis stated at a recent mass that being Christian was a matter of destiny, not choice: “…none of us is Christian by pure chance. No one.”

Pope Francis upset the entrenched elitists within the Catholic church saying: “We are all equal in the eyes of God. But, one of you might say, ‘Mr Pope, sir, you are not equal to us.’ But I am just like each of you. We are all equal. We are all brothers and sisters. No one is anonymous: all form and build the Church.”

Pope Francis said investigations and reforms concerning the Legion of Christ group will continue into next year.  It turned out that the now dead founder of the order was a pedophile (including with his own out of wedlock children).  Former members of the order have warned that the reforms will probably be cosmetic at best because “They misled the church before, and that same duplicity is so deeply embedded in the congregation that they can proceed in no other way.”-Genevieve Kinecke, former Regnum Christi member

Pope Francis has just created a commission of investigation to reveal what is really going on in the secretive Institute for Religious Works (aka IOR, or Vatican Bank)!  Italian officials have accused the Vatican Bank of money laundering and other crimes.  The investigators include four Vatican officials and a former U.S. ambassador.

Just days prior, Pope Francis refused to show up at a traditional Beethoven concert.   A day before he chastised bishops for having “the mentality of a prince”.

Pope Francis upset Globalist elites saying “The riches and cares of the world choke the Word of God and do not allow it to grow. And the Word dies, because it is not cared for: it is choked. In that case you serve riches or you serve cares, but you don’t serve the Word of God.”

The anti-homosexual marriage Archbishop of Canterbury met with Pope Francis, and reported that the Pope and he agreed to “…the stability of families founded on marriage.”  Archbishop Justin Welby recently told the U.K. House of Lords that officially the Anglican Communion was opposed to legalized homosexual marriage.

From Malta, a news media commentator wrote about his first, and probably only visit to Vatican: “….the enormous esplanade of Piazza San Pietro, with its beggars and street vendors, its priests and pigeons and, above all, its gaggles upon gaggles of American tourists (honestly, you’d think the entire population of the USA had simply emptied itself out onto Viale del Conciliazione)……..it is almost like a house of cards: so much has since been built on these same millennial foundations that there is now a genuine fear – almost visible in the faces of the palace staff – that one false move by the already ‘controversial’ Pope Francis I could quite literally bring the entire edifice crumbling down about their ears………It is as though Pope Francis is actually overseeing the gradual winding-down of a millennial institution that can simply no longer keep up the pretence of timelessness: trying to drag the entire shebang kicking and screaming into the 21st century, even if he secretly knows (as do his cardinals and as did his immediate predecessor) that not much of the Catholic Church in its present form can actually survive the transition.”-Raphael Vassallo

Reuters said the most visible thing about the five months of Pope Francis’ reign “…is an empty chair. The chair — a large white throne….”

Pope Francis upset crony capitalist elitists by telling the UN Food and Agriculture Organization “This is truly scandalous. A way has to be found to enable everyone to benefit from the fruits of the earth, and not simply to close the gap between the affluent and those who must be satisfied with the crumbs falling from the table!”

Speaking to 108 papal representatives, Pope Francis warned that future bishops must be “…pastors who are close to their people, fathers and brothers, who are meek, patient and merciful…” and to “Beware of those who are ambitious, who seek the episcopacy.”

It was reported that Pope Francis told the Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious Men and Women “But there also is a stream of corruption, there is that as well, it is true…The ‘gay lobby’ is mentioned, and it is true, it is there…We need to see what we can do.”  No nun or priest at the meeting is willing to elaborate to news media what he was talking about.

Pope Francis upset his security guards when he spontaneously allowed a 17 years old boy with Downs Syndrome to ride the Popemobile.

In a nod to Saint Malachy of Ireland’s warning about Peter the Roman, Pope Francis thanked the Roman group Association of Saints Peter and Paul for their “behind the scenes” work at the Vatican.

The United Kingdom rejected the idea of allowing Pope Francis to mediate the Malvinas/Falklands dispute with Argentina: “I think the last thing we need is religion…”-Mike Summers, Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly

Pope Francis ordered Jesuit journalists to “…be uncompromising against the hypocrisies which result from the closed, the sick heart. Be uncompromising against this spiritual illness…..Your task is to gather and express the expectations, the desires, the joys and the dramas of our time….God is at work in the life of every person and in every culture, the Spirit blows where He wills. Try to find out what God has done, and how He will continue his work.”

There are now reports that Pope Francis might cancel his trip to Brazil, due to the current civil uprising.  He is planning on showing up for World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, towards the end of July.  Brazil is a country with many rivers, with Rio being a major drainage point for many rivers.  Nostradamus warned “Roman Pontiff beware of approaching The city that two rivers flow through…”

World War 3, Martial Law U.S.A.: Canadian diplomat says U.S. citizens complicit in their own destruction!

26 June 2013 (12:50 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Sha’ban 1434/05 Tir 1391/19 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“To preserve its perilous dominance the U.S. today is arming against its own people….”-Peter Dale Scott, former English Professor at the University of California Berkeley, May 2012

Also a former Canadian diplomat, Peter Dale Scott, attended a meeting in Russia in May 2012.  He was commenting on U.S. foreign policy and potential threats to Russia.  He also realized that the people of the United States have backed way off their anti-government protests since Obama became president, and are seemingly complicit in the federal government’s totalitarian agenda.

Peter Dale Scott: What particularly concerns me is the relative absence of public response in America to a long-term Pentagon-CIA agenda of aggressive military hegemonism – or what I will call “dominationism.” No doubt many Americans may think that a global pax Americana will secure a period of peace, much like the pax Romana of two millennia ago. I myself am confident that it will not: rather, like the imperfect pax Britannica of a century ago, it will lead inevitably to major conflict, possibly nuclear war. For the secret of the pax Romana was that Rome, under Hadrian, withdrew from Mesopotamia and accepted strict limits to its area of dominance. Britain never achieved that wisdom until too late; America, to date, has never achieved it at all.

And so very few in America seem to care about Washington’s global domination project, at least since the failure of massive protests to prevent the Iraq War. We have seen much critical examination of why America fought in Vietnam, and even the American involvement in atrocities like the Indonesian massacre of 1965. Authors like Noam Chomsky and William Blum have chronicled America’s criminal acts since World War Two, but without any prominent concern about the recent acceleration of American military expansiveness. Only a few, like Chalmers Johnson and Andrew Bacevich, have written about the progressive consolidation of a war machine that now dominates America’s political processes.

It is also striking that, until quite recently, the nascent Occupy movement has had little to say about America’s unprovoked wars; I am not sure they have even targeted the militarization of surveillance, law enforcement, and detention camps which are so important a part of the domestic apparatus of repression that threatens their own survival – the so-called “continuity of government” (COG) measures by which America’s military planners have prepared never again to have to deal with a successful American anti-war movement. 

…….I hope that Americans will mobilize against American dominationism, and call for a policy declaration, either from the administration or from Congress, that would:

1) explicitly renounce past Pentagon calls for “full spectrum dominance” as a military objective for American foreign policy,

2) reject as unacceptable the deeply-ingrained practice of preemptive wars,

3) renounce categorically any US plans for the permanent use of military bases in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Kyrgyzstan, and

4) recommit the United States to conducting future military operations in accordance with the procedures set out in the United Nations Charter.

Scott published in 2003 a book that established that U.S. foreign policy is about propping up the Nixon created U.S. petro-dollar system, and that the military uses drug trafficking to fund ever escalating operations. The book is called Drugs, Oil and War.

Martial Law U.S.A.: Fluoride Wars, people accused of being terrorists when they question water quality! Proof it’s a class warfare thing!

26 June 2013 (00:58 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Sha’ban 1434/05 Tir 1391/19 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“We take water quality very seriously. Very, very seriously. But you need to make sure that when you make water quality complaints you have a basis, because federally, if there’s no water quality issues, that can be considered under Homeland Security an act of terrorism.”-Sherwin Smith, Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, threatening the public for questioning water quality reports on 29 May 2013

In 1964 Stanley Kubrick raised the issue of fluoridated water in his Cold War satire Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb; a crazed USAF SAC commander goes nuts and blames it on fluoridated water.  Maybe Kubrick was on to something.

Phillipe Grandjean has just published a book, Only One Chance: How Environmental Pollution Impairs Brain Development.  He states that fluoride (aka fluorine) is one of 213 known toxic chemicals that lower your intelligence (turns you into an idiot!).

The U.S. EPA now includes fluoride on its list of Chemicals with Substantial Evidence of Developmental Neurotoxicity.

There are dozens more studies that prove how damaging fluoride really is (and I expect to get more people writing me asking for proof of those studies, and my answer is get off your butt and do the research yourself, I ain’t getting paid for this!), yet local governments in the United States, and other countries where English is the primary language, continue to insist putting fluoride in the drinking water.

A chemist at Texas A&M University has developed a way to detect fluoride in water.  This is important as past investigations have revealed that some water departments have been adding fluoride even after telling the residents they were not.  Francois P. Gabbai has received a $400000 USD federal grant to conduct further tests on his organometallic molecule tester.  The tester glows if there’s fluoride in the water.

In Florida U.S.A., “Given the weight of this new scientific evidence, and the widespread availability of alternative topical fluoride sources (toothpaste, mouth rinses), the Wayland Board of Health is considering suspending the Community Water Fluoridation program.”  Residents are asked to voice their opinions at the Board of Health will hold a public hearing at Wayland Town Building on 08 July 2013.

In New Zealand, after the Hamilton City Council decided to stop fluoridating the water local news media and health officials went on the warpath, brainwashing residents into thinking they will suffer without fluoride.  The result is that 500 homes in the Waikato District have signed up to pay to have bottled fluoridated water brought to their homes!  Idiots!  There’s even a petition drive to get fluoridation reinstated.  Idiots!  In Palmerston North, next year’s fluoridation is being debated.  It will cost taxpayers $10000 NZD. The Fluoride Action Network submitted reports that showed dental improvements in other countries happened independent of fluoridation (in other words, fluoride had nothing to do with it)!  The Mayor of Christchurch, Bob Parker, refused to allow fluoridation in the city water supply, saying it should be an individual’s choice!  Prime Minster John Key said anti-fluoride claims are “overstated”.  In Marlborough evidence that fluoridation of water is just a taxpayer funded economic incentive to force people to buy clean bottled water and water filters: “Those who don’t want fluoride should source their water elsewhere, like bottled water.”-Ed Kiddle, Nelson Marlborough Medical Officer

“There now exist many valid scientific studies, peer reviewed articles and much literature illustrating the negative impact of drinking water treated with fluoride contaminants such as hydrofluorocilicic acid, and there are no genuine studies illustrating any benefits whatsoever.  For some unexplained and unconscionable reasons, government health authorities have refused to conduct clinical trials and toxicology studies on this medicinal product, contrary to their own regulations on the administration of medicinal products and substances. Any dentist can tell you that fluoride only works topically.”-Troy Walts, Watertown, New Zealand

In Minnesota U.S.A., Citizens for Clean Water: St. Cloud are campaigning to stop fluoridation.  They even point to a 2011 Texas study that says fluoride does not prevent tooth decay: “After nine years and $3 million of adding fluoride, research shows tooth decay hasn’t dropped among the poorest of Bexar County’s children. It has only increased — up 13 percent this year.”

In Wisconsin U.S.A., the idiots in Holmen Village re-started fluoridation of their water supply!  They’re using hydrofluorosilicic acid containing 24% fluoride, at a cost to taxpayers of $3500 for the rest of the year.

In North Carolina U.S.A., people in Durham and Orange counties have been protesting the use of fluoride.  One protestor accused one city of breaking laws: “Raleigh, unfortunately, has been provided with copious amounts of scientific data, repeated appearances by myself and other citizens and even notifications that what they are doing breaks current state and federal drug laws.”-Corey Sturmer

In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, the Greens political party is fighting fluoridation of the water supply.  Recently NSW courts ruled to allow Ballina Shire Council to add the chemical to the water supply.  NSW Department of Health is also ordering that fluoride be added to water supplies.   In Gladstone, the city has voted to fluoridate the water from Lake Awoonga.   In Logan, city officials refused to remove fluoride from the water, saying it would cost taxpayers $100 million AUD to do so!

One evil North Carolina dentist (who recently co-wrote a report pushing fluoridation in Australia) implied that fluoridation is just a taxpayer funded economic incentive to force the smart people to buy filtration systems or clean bottled water:  “I can understand if people don’t want to drink fluoridated water, but there’s an important difference here because they actually do have a choice. Someone can currently buy bottled water without fluoride, or they can put a filter on that is able to remove fluoride…”-Gary Slade, UNC School of Dentistry

In California U.S.A., a Sacramento news media report said that most anti-fluoridians are liberals and environmentalists!  The cities of Davis and Woodland are considering adding fluoride to their new multi-million dollar water supply systems.  Make your opinions heard!  To show you that even naturally occurring fluoride is bad, there is a decades long court battle in a mobile home park in Carmel Valley’s Cachagua neighborhood.  County tests showed the levels to be four times higher than what is considered safe.  It’s so high the water is yellow.  The court battle involves the mobile home park owner and the county, which failed to clean up the water, and the residents (many have finally given up and settled out of court).

In Ireland, anti-fluoridians have petitioned the European Union for help in forcing the Irish government to stop fluoridation of the water: “Everytime we reach for a glass of water, fill the kettle for a cup tea or mix up a baby’s milkbottle we are forced to ingest fluoride. Whether we weigh 5kg or 50kg, are on dialysis for diabetes, undergoing chemotherapy or taking any amount of other medication, we are being dosed with fluoride.”-Iva Pocock, who’s father led the campaign against fluoride “unexpectedly died” two months ago.

According to Pocock, fluoridation of water violates Medicinal Products Directive 2001/83/EC: “Any substance that is presented as having properties for preventing a disease as defined under this Directive is a medicinal product. Hydrofluorosilicic acid is therefore a medicinal product.  I am convinced that this product is being added illegally and in breach of of EU law.”

In Iowa U.S.A., the Scott County Board of Health is expected to continue fluoridation of water.  they were not convinced by four people protesting the possibly criminal act.   The city of Dubuque stated that they’ve been adding fluoride to the water since 1954.  Someone should do a study on the overall intelligence level of the residents since 1954.

In Washington U.S.A., the state appeals court rejected demands to stop fluoridation in Clallam County.  The court ruled that the U.S. FDA does not regulate fluoride, therefore water districts do not have to get FDA approval.

In Oregon U.S.A., a survey was done to identify just who the anit-fluoridians are.  In Portland it turns out that the biggest opponents to fluoride are people of low income, with lack of education, and minority residents!  61% of Portlanders recently voted against fluoride, and a map was made showing where those residents are concentrated (why would city officials want to know that?).  The survey also showed that supporters of fluoride tend to be wealthy and highly educated (elites!).

Now there’s a new fluoride delivery system for all you fluorid-o-holics in Merry ol’ England: Phocal fluoride disks.   It’s being marketed as a way to fight incipient tooth decay (aka dental caries).  You shove the disks inbetween your teeth for a highly concentrated dose of fluoride, yum yum!

To update what I reported on in 2011, many villages in India are suffering from chronic conditions the government has linked to naturally occurring fluoride in the water.   A recent study said that boiling tulasi leaves will not get rid of the fluoride.  For the past 70 years the Indian government has been looking for ways to cheaply get rid of naturally occurring fluoride, because of the massive health issues it creates.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: Ron Paul points out hypocrisy of Obama! God made the Toyota Corolla! More U.S. troops killed by their own!

24 June 2013/15 Sha’ban 1434/03 Tir 1391/17 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“‘We cannot leave’, we were told for all those years. If we leave Afghanistan now, the Taliban will come back! Well guess what, after 12 years, trillions of dollars, more than 2,200 Americans killed, and perhaps more than 50,000 dead Afghan civilians and fighters, the Taliban is coming back anyway!”-Ron Paul, former U.S Congressman, referring to the recent revelation and then backpedaling of the Obama administration and direct peace talks with Mujahideen (Taliban)

In Paktika Province, Sarubi District, reports that Mujahideen launched a large attack on ISAF/Afghan National Army (ANA) convoys.  Ten NATO/ISAF personnel killed, five ANA personnel killed, 15 people wounded.  Four armored vehicles and two pickup trucks destroyed by rocket fire.  One Mujahid killed, three wounded.

In Ghor Province, near Chagh Charan, a battle between ANA and Mujahideen.  Two armored vehicles and one pickup truck destroyed.  Dozens of ANA killed or wounded.  Three Mujahideen killed, five wounded.

In Helmand Province, reports that three days of fighting between ISAF/ANA and Mujahideen came to an end.  13 armored vehicles and pickup trucks destroyed.  32 NATO/ISAF/ANA personnel killed, 20 wounded.  One Mujahid killed, five wounded.  Mujahideen made large scale use of explosives in the battles, which they credit for the large numbers of vehicles destroyed.

In Kunduz Province, Khanabad District, 20 Afghan National Police (ANP)  joined Mujahideen, or swore not to fight against Mujahideen.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, hundreds of people demonstrating for property rights stopped a vehicle convoy of U.S. military personnel.  Reports say U.S. forces began shooting, which turned the land rights demonstration into an anti-U.S. protest.  Reports also say the protestors were able to burn a U.S. military fueler.   Also, Toyota is boasting that Afghans in Kabul city love their Corollas.  An ongoing joke is that Corollas were created by god in Afghanistan; ‘There have been Toyota Corollas here before it was even produced in Japan’.  One local reporter took a ten minute ride through Kabul city and counted 194 Corollas, versus only 89 other types of vehicles. “You foreigners spend your money by going dancing or bowling. We invest in what is useful.”-Shaker Bakhter, Corolla dealer

The U.S. Army is now admitting that a U.S. soldier killed in Kandahar Province in 2011, was killed by faulty artillery mortar ammo!  The U.S. Army was forced to reveal the info by a Freedom of Information Act request by The News Tribune.  The Sergeant was killed when three mortar rounds failed to fire properly, and one landed on him.  He was with the 10th Mountain Division.  However, the U.S. Army investigation revealed that the unit was firing mortar rounds at a single Mujahid, whom they could not see anyway.  The investigators criticized the unit for deciding to use the mortar rounds to try and kill one Mujahid.

It has been revealed that U.S. taxpayers have been paying for new design combat boots every two or three years.  The U.S. Army says this is because they are looking for the perfect boot for fighting in Afghanistan.  Even though the U.S. is supposed to pullout after 2014, the U.S. Army has revealed the latest boot design, the Hot Weather Mountain Combat Boot.  The United States Special Operations Command says the constant spending of taxpayer money on new boot designs is because boots used during the invasion of 2001 quickly broke down on Afghan terrain.

It’s been revealed that the country of Georgia will be deploying more troops to Afghanistan.  NATO officials will attend a deployment ceremony on 26-27 June.

Paktika Province the site of numerous Mujahideen operations.  In Syed Karam District a NATO/ISAF camp was hit with mortar rounds.  In Jani Khel District a government building was attacked.  In Zurmat District one possibly two armored vehicles blown up by landmines.  Also, a Mujahid sniper claims to have shot a U.S. soldier and a ANA soldier.  In Yahiya Khel District three contracted soldiers were killed by Mujahideen.

In Laghman Province, Qarghayi District, Abdur Rahim Zai village Mujahideen claim a U.S./NATO/ISAF helicopter was shot down.  They say it crashed to the ground killing everyone on board.

ISAF reports another NATO/ISAF troop killed: “An International Security Assistance Force service member died following an improvised explosive device attack in eastern Afghanistan today.”

In Parwan Province, Shinwari District, 20 ANA personnel killed in three days of battles with Mujahideen.  A local villager said the ANA medivacs left four bodies behind.

In Maidan Wardak Province, Syed Abad District, a massive fueler convoy was ambushed by Mujahideen.  13 fuelers destroyed, 16 damaged,  28 security guards/drivers killed, dozens wounded.  One truck was captured.  Mujahideen said the ambush was conducted by several Mujahideen groups, who took turns blasting away at the convoy over a three hour period.

President Hamid Karzai is demanding an explanation from Obama about the direct talks with Mujahideen (Taliban) in Qatar.  The Afghan Foreign Minister complained that Obama’s talks with Mujahideen is leaving out a key player: “The Afghan government remains fully committed to pursue a process of peace negotiations with the armed opposition, including the Taliban, but within the confines of the conditions and the principles and the assurances that we have established.”-Janan Mosazai

The Iranian government is reporting that the amount of drugs being trafficked into Iran from U.S. controlled Afghanistan has gone up 40% since the U.S. invasion in 2001.

10 soldiers with the U.S. territory of Guam Army National Guard Security Forces Advisory Team (SFAT) returned home.

In Uruzgan Province, Khod Valley, an Australian Special Forces Digger was killed in a firefight with Mujahideen.  Australian Defence Forces confirmed that another Special Forces Digger was wounded, as well as a Royal Australian Air Force  airman.

In Paktika Province, local government reports say a massive U.S. airstrike killed 30 people at a border check point.  The target were Mujahideen, but Mujahideen say only four of those killed were anti-government freedom fighters.

In Khost Province, Safir District, 30 ANA personnel joined the Mujahideen.

After doing a one eighty on direct talks with Mujahideen in their new Qatar office, an official from the Obama administration arrived in Qatar for such talks anyway.  U.S. envoy James Dobbins arrived for ‘nascent dialogue’ with the group, even though three days prior the Obama administration began telling the news media that they were not seeking direct talks with Mujahideen.  Obama just keeps up his whirling dervish routine!

In Canada, the man accused of trying to blow up a passenger train said he did it to fight the colonization of Afghanistan by European/American powers: “I want that in Afghanistan they will not suffer again from colonization, NATO colonization. Those who do colonize, they know very well that they are wrong.”-Chiheb Esseghaier

More than 150 U.S. state of South Carolina Army National Guardsmen from the 1223rd Engineer Company deployed to Afghanistan.

In Kabul Province, Camp Black Horse, ISAF officials report an increasing number of Afghans signing up to learn how to diffuse bombs.  They say a few years ago there were no Afghans willing to do bomb disposal work, but now there are 369 NATO qualified Afghan bomb diffusers.

World War 3, Economic Front: U.S. ally(?) United Kingdom now dealing in Chinese yuan!

23 June 2013 (13:06 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Sha’ban 1434/02 Tir 1391/16 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The Bank of England and the People’s Bank of China have signed a deal in which they will directly exchange their currency, avoiding the use of the U.S. dollar.

The deal maxes out at 20 billion pounds/200 billion yuan (aka RMB).  That’s currently about $30 billion USD.

Bank officials say the deal is an attempt to create financial stability (in other words, the U.S. dollar is becoming too unstable).

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: Whirling Dervish Obama does another 1-80 in Afghanistan! Idaho POW now a barganing chip! More tax dollars wasted & linked to suicide bombings!

21 June 2013/12 Sha’ban 1434/31 Khordad 1391/14 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Kunar Province, Ghazi Abad District, local government officials say a U.S. airstrike (drone strike?) killed three people and wounded several others.

In Helmand Province, Greshk District, reports of a major battle between Mujahideen and NATO/ISAF and Afghan National Army (ANA) troops.  Four armored vehicles destroyed, 17 people killed, dozens wounded.  The battle might have started because of home invasions launched by NATO/ISAF/ANA in the same district.  Five people were kidnapped, including an 80 years old man.

The Washington Post reports that the U.S. Department of Defense is planning on destroying $7 billion USD worth of military equipment in Afghanistan!  That includes up to 11000 MRAP (mine-resistant ambush-protected) vehicles which cost taxpayers about $1 million each!  DoD officials say destroying in place is cheaper than shipping them back to the U.S.  (more reason not to go on a nation building spree disguised as a War on Terror)

The President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbaev, says Obama told him personally that the U.S. will remain “….deeply involved in developments in Afghanistan and Central Asia” after 2014.

20 June 2013/11 Sha’ban 1434/30 Khordad 1391/13 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Parwan Province, provincial government officials say Mujahideen “…..beheaded an Afghan intelligence officer along with a member of his family, and an Afghan police officer together with his brother.”  Most Mujahideen groups have stated they’ve sworn not to behead Afghans.

In Nangarhar Province, Jalalabad city, an explosion killed one cop and one civilian, one civilian wounded.

In Herat Province, Italian NATO officials announced they will keep up to 700 Italian troops incountry after the 2014 ‘pullout’!

In Balkh Province, German NATO officials announced they will keep German troops incountry after the 2014 ‘pullout’!   Working with German NATO command are troops from Montenegro.  Officials from Montenegro said they will keep troops incountry after the 2014 ‘pullout’!

Mujahideen have announced they are willing to trade the only U.S. POW (prisoner of war, isn’t that nice he’s considered a POW, but none of the detainees at Gitmo are) for five senior level Mujahideen held as “combatants” in Gitmo.  A Mujahideen source said of the POW from Idaho that “as far as I know” he’s in good condition.  They say he’s actually being held in Pakistan by Pakistani Mujahideen.

At the UN Security Council meeting, Afghan and Pakistani officials traded heated accusations over recent cross border incidents, and just who is behind “Islamist extremists”.  If the ‘Islamic World’ is confused about Islamic extremism, then maybe accusations that the United States/United Kingdom are the real instigators behind Islamic extremism are true?

“We do not recognize the name ‘Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’ and are pleased that Qatar has clarified that the name of the office is the Political Office of the Afghan Taliban, and has had the sign with the incorrect name in front of the door taken down.”-Rosemary DiCarlo, U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the UN

“The manner in which the office was established was in clear breach of the principles and terms of references agreed with us by the U.S. government.”-Afghan Foreign Ministry

“We have from time to time reminded all stakeholders about the red lines that was drawn by the world community and certainly by the participants should not be touched, should not be erased and should not be violated.  The talks are (being held) between the high peace council and the chosen representatives of Taliban. Of course, the U.S. had its role in encouraging this, perhaps even in precipitating this.”-Salman Khurshid, Foreign Minister of India

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has discovered that the reason why many contractor funded projects have not been completed is because those contractors haven’t paid their subcontractors!  In at least 52 cases, contractors sub-contracted the work, then never paid the subcontractor!  SIGAR investigations revealed that some suicide bombers are subcontractors devastated by non-payment from the primary contractor: “In one example reported to SIGAR, after the prime contractor offered mediation and arbitration to solve a contract dispute, the subcontractor threatened to use a suicide bomb to blow up himself and the prime contractor’s offices. In another case, a prime contractor told SIGAR that a subcontractor threatened to blow up a compound of U.S. contractors and government agencies and another subcontractor threatened to kill the attorney for the prime contractor over nonpayment issues.”  (so what are these primary contractors doing with all that taxpayer money?)

19 June 2013/10 Sha’ban 1434/29 Khordad 1391/12 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Logar Province, Pul-e-Alam District, local government officials say a U.S. airstrike killed at least nine people.  Afghan National Army says they captured six Mujahideen in the same district.  In Baraki Barak District, ANA claims to have killed eight Pakistani Mujahideen, and seven Afghan Mujahideen.  Mujahideen confirmed “massive U.S. airstrikes” but said they killed six U.S./NATO personnel and destroyed three armored vehicles.

In Farah Province, Balablook District, local government reports a U.S. drone strike killed five people.

In Helmand Province, Greshk District, Zambuli area police check post, a local cop killed five fellow cops, then joined the Mujahideen.  He took all weapons and ammo at the check point with him.

A war artist working with U.K. Royal Army Red Coats, was shot in his left arm and hand by a Mujahideen sniper.

U.S. Army General Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the U.S. is not bringing troops back home from Afghanistan, but sending them to war in Syria: “I can tell you, right here and right now, that the U.S. is every bit as determined to engage in an ill-defined, ill-advised and seemingly interminable mission in Syria as we were in Afghanistan. All that’s changing is the Zip Code.”

After announcing peace talks with Mujahideen (Taliban) at their newly built office in Doha, Qatar, President Obama is spinning another one eighty!  Now he says he is not in negotiations with Mujahideen, even after the U.S. main streamer media reported he was!  This comes after the Afghan government called off post 2014 U.S. troop deployment talks (aka Bilateral Security Agreement) in protest of the talks between the U.S. and Mujahideen.

World War 3, West Asian Front-Syria: Obama orders U.S. personnel to occupy Jordan in massive troop buildup! Preps for invasion of Syria?

22 June 2013 (13:08 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Sha’ban 1434/01 Tir 1391/15 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“The detachment will remain in Jordan, in full coordination with the government of Jordan, until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed.”-Barack Obama, President of United States

After months of saying U.S. Marines, and other personnel were in Jordan for war games, U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered 700 Marines (originally scheduled to leave) to remain incountry indefinitely.

Analysts claim Obama is only responding to a request for military help from the British installed Hashemite king of Jordan, Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein: “The Jordanians came dead set on pushing the Americans to create a safe zone. They didn’t get it, but they left with some reassurances and I think the troops are part of that.”-Elizabeth O’Bagy, Institute for the Study of War

Not only will U.S. Marines be left behind, but U.S. Army Patriot missiles systems and their crews, USAF F-16 fighter/bomber aircraft and personnel, and other personnel and equipment for command & control operations.  There are now more than 5000 U.S. military personnel in Jordan.

Main streamer U.S. news media reporting that only 1000 U.S. personnel are in Jordan, but U.S. military news source, Stars and Stripes, reports that at least 5000 U.S. personnel are incountry for war games called Eager Lion, along with 3000 military personnel from 19 other countries.  That exercise officially ended on 20 June 2013, which means almost all those 8000 U.S. backed personnel are still there.

Also, the U.S. Department of Defense officials revealed that at least 200 personnel and their equipment, from the U.S. Army’s 1st Armored Division will be deploying to Jordan.

Obama also intimated that it was all about going to war with Syria: “The deployment of this detachment has been directed in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, including the important national interests in supporting the security of Jordan and promoting regional stability….”

Back at the beginning of June, Syrian news media reported that U.S. Marines were spotted along the border with Jordan and Syria.  Syrian news media also claimed that sources in the United States told them the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force were not in Jordan for war games, as Obama spokesmen repeatedly stated.

Obama made the announcement of Jordanian occupation to the U.S. Congress as part of the War Powers Act reporting procedures.

Government Evil: U.S. backed Israel uses Palestinian children for child sacrifice rituals, disguised as security operations! Read here what the other news sources aren’t reporting!

20 June 2013 (14:22 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Sha’ban 1434/30 Khordad 1391/13 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“Palestinian children being shot by the State party’s [Israeli] military near the Gaza border whilst collecting building material to support their families in the reconstruction of their homes, 30 such cases having been reported over the reporting period…”

In Israel, a child who throws a stone can spend 20 years in prison, under Israeli law!

The following excerpts are from the results of a ten year United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child investigation:

“The Committee is also concerned that the average spending per child in the Arab localities is estimated to be more than a third lower than in Jewish localities and that the State party [Israel] fails to take into account the unequal level of resources provided to the two health systems to explain the persistent disparities in relation to health indicators between the Arab and Jewish children.”

“The Committee also expresses concern that Palestinian non-governmental organizations and international human rights organizations working in the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territories] are increasingly perceived as a threat to national security and are subject to, among others, harassment, arrest and denial of work permits.”

“The Committee also expresses concern about the adoption of numerous discriminatory laws……which affect primarily Palestinian children in all aspects of their life but also Arab Israeli, Bedouins, and Ethiopian children as well as children of migrant workers and asylum seekers…..the implementation of two separate legal systems and institutions amount to de facto segregation….”

“The Committee expresses serious concerns that hundreds of Palestinian children have been killed and thousands injured over the reporting period as a result of the State party military operations, especially in Gaza where the State party proceeded to air and naval strikes on densely populated areas with a significant presence of children….”

“The rise in the number of children from the OPT being subjected to attacks by settlers in the West Bank……in most of the cases Israeli military forces not only fail to intervene to prevent violence and to protect children, but also bring support to those committing violence. The Committee further notes with concern that, in most of the cases, perpetrators are not brought to justice and enjoy full impunity for their crimes….”

“The devastating impact on….children living in the OPT….a collective punishment imposed in clear violation of Israel’s obligations under international humanitarian law.”

“[Israeli] courts are not obliged to hear the opinions of the child…in adoption proceedings…children are not aware of being adopted.”

“The ban on the granting of Israeli citizenship to children born of an Israeli parent and a parent from the OPT, the decision of the State party to stop processing for residency applications for Palestinian children since 2000 as well as the arbitrary revocation of residency and identity of those living in East Jerusalem have resulted in thousands of unregistered Palestinian children excluded from access to health services, education and any other type of social benefits as well as in thousands of children being prevented from living with their parents…”

“Children of migrants born in the State party often do not receive an official birth certificate but a hand-written official notification without the father’s name being indicated. The Committee is also concerned about information that migrant families who are unable to cover the cost of hospitalisation might be denied birth notification, and about reported cases of migrant families who have to pay exorbitant costs for a DNA test….reported cases of families forced to sign voluntary return declarations to be able to obtain official birth certificates.”

“…the [Israeli] Adoption of Children Law which allows hiding from a child the fact that he or she has been adopted……..result in the child being labelled as a ‘bastard’ according to Jewish Halasha.”

“….reported practice of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian children arrested, prosecuted and detained by the military and the police….”

“Routinely arrested in the middle of the night by soldiers shouting instructions at the family and taken hand-tied and blindfolded to unknown destination without having the possibility to say good bye to their parents who rarely know where their children are taken;…Systematically subject to physical and verbal violence, humiliation, painful restraints, hooding of the head and face in a sack, threatened with death, physical violence, and sexual assault against themselves or members of their family, restricted access to toilet, food and water. These crimes are perpetrated from the time of arrest, during transfer and interrogation, to obtain a confession but also on an arbitrary basis as testified by several Israeli soldiers as well as during pre-trial detention; and…Held in solitary confinement, sometimes for months.”

“….high proportion of students reporting that they have experienced physical and emotional maltreatment, and that corporal punishment continues to be inflicted on children in detention.”

“….psychological violence inflicted on Palestinian children who witness their parents being beaten or humiliated and the demolition of their homes….”

“…..in 2008, the Israeli Defence Forces closed down two institutions for children in Hebron without any written instructions and proper alternative plans, evicting 3,192 children and confiscating all clothing, food, stationary and other supplies….”

“…deteriorated situation of health and health services for children in the OPT….due to [Israeli] attacks on hospitals and clinics….and the denial of and delays in…transfer…to medical facilities outside the OPT which have caused the death of many children and pregnant women….”

“…high level of mortality of Bedouin children living in so-called ‘unrecognized’ villages in the Negev who are deprived of basic health services….”

“Children in the Gaza Strip suffering from blood disorders and sanitation related diseases such as watery diarrhoea and typhoid due to daily exposure to highly contaminated water….”

“The Committee is concerned about the high rate of suicide and attempts at suicide among adolescents in the State party, especially among girls.”

“The Committee is concerned….about the privatization of social services…construction of the Wall…Land confiscation, large-scale demolition of Palestinian houses, expulsion of Palestinian and Bedouin families….constant fear of eviction and demolition….critical water shortage….due to prohibitions of access to natural resources….children living in so-called ‘unrecognized villages’….Children in the OPT increasingly suffering from chronic malnutrition….severe restrictions on access to agricultural land and the sea….by Israeli settlers and the State authorities.”

“Jewish and Arab children continue to be educated in segregated school systems…..with lower investment in the education system for Arab children which results in a severe shortage of classrooms, in substandard conditions and quality of teaching, low academic results and high school drop-out.”

“300 educational facilities have been damaged during the operation ‘Pillar of defence’….Palestinian schools were attacked by the State party military or settlers and in some cases used as military outposts or detention centres. Furthermore, children continue to be subject to harassment, threats and violence by the State party’s military and security forces as well as by settlers on their way to and from school….”

“The [Israeli] Anti-Infiltration Law enacted in January 2012 which allows for the prolonged detention of children, including child victims of exploitation, torture and trafficking…..rise in arrests since August 2011 of children of migrant workers, including children born in the State party, in extremely stressful conditions such as those conducted at night…..In 2011, 19 boys attempted suicide in the Matan detention facility of Harera and in the Givon detention facility, girls have been detained together with adults…..”

“…..continuous use of Palestinian children as human shields and informants….[Israeli] soldiers have used Palestinian children to enter potentially dangerous buildings ahead of them and to stand in front of military vehicles in order to stop the throwing of stones…..Almost all those using children as human shield and informants have remained unpunished and that the soldiers convicted for having forced at gunpoint a nine-year old child to search bags suspected of containing explosives only received a suspended sentence of three months and were demoted.”

“…..an estimated 7000 Palestinian children aged from 12 to 17 years, but sometimes as young as nine years, have been arrested, interrogated and detained….this number having increased by 73% since September 2011….Most of the Palestinian children arrested often on an arbitrary basis….236 children are currently detained for alleged security reasons, dozens of them are between the ages of 12 and 15….systematically subject to degrading treatment, and often to acts of torture, are interrogated in Hebrew, a language they do not understand, and sign confessions in Hebrew in order to be released;…Children are brought in leg chains and shackles wearing prison uniforms before military courts where confessions obtained from them under duress….transferred out of the OPT and serve their detention and sentences inside Israel in breach of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention….detained in overcrowded cells together with adults…”

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman, Yigal Palmor, admitted to their evil by simply saying the investigation was “….simply recycling old stuff, there is no importance in that.”
