World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 07-08 July 2013: Corrupt U.S. contractor refuses to pay Afghan sub-contractors!

Major battles in Maidan Wardak, Kabul, Kunar, Jawzjan, Nangarhar, Baghlan, Kunduz, Faryab, Uruzgan, Logar, Ghazni, Farah, Helmand and Paktia provinces.  Mujahideen claim they killed 30 Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers.  Afghan government officials claim they killed 100 Mujahideen.  Afghan government officials added that U.S./NATO air strikes were called in.

In Parwan Province, Bagram airbase, reports that two groups of ANA soldiers turned their guns on each other.  Three people killed, several wounded.

In Maidan Wardak Province, Sayed Abad District, Mujahideen say they destroyed 19 supply vehicles and killed 14 people.  Mujahideen say their ambush of the U.S./NATO supply convoy took place at several points through out the district.  One engagement lasted three hours. One Mujahid killed, one wounded.

Afghan Major-General Mohammad Sharif Yaftali, admits that Mujahideen numbers have increased by 15%.  He says there are at least 5000 Mujahideen in seven southeastern provinces.  He also says there are increased foreign fighters helping the Mujahideen, mainly from Pakistan and Chechnya.

In Kandahar Province, an Afghan interpreter who was working with U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) was arrested in connection to the kidnapping and torture deaths of Afghan civilians.  U.S. SOF was behind the war crimes, a mass grave was found next to an abandoned U.S. SOF base, which contained the bodies of some of the kidnapped Afghans.  Afghan police say the arrested interpreter is seen in a video taking part in the torture deaths of the victims.

Despite Indian government officials denying Afghanistan lethal military  aid, reports say the two governments are still in discussions for India “to contribute lethal weapons” and to “enhance” military cooperation.

Iranian officials say they are holding political discussions with the government of Afghanistan: “There are issues over which Tehran and Kabul need to regularly hold talks and be in touch about them. General relations between the two countries will be discussed…”-Abbas Araqchi, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia and Pacific Affairs

In Ghazni Province, Deh Yak District, two people killed, and three people wounded, including the provincial high peace council chief, when a remote detonated bomb exploded.  In Khogyani District, Mujahideen claim to have killed 19 U.S./NATO/ISAF troops during an ambush of a military convoy.  In Maqur District, reports that NATO/Afghan forces conducted a home invasion, killing three people.

In Baghlan Province, Burqa District, reports that NATO/Afghan forces raided a Madrasa and kidnapped three students.

After announcing big funding for Afghanistan, Norway is now backing off.  Norwegian officials are now using the excuse of failed Afghan reforms to get out of promised taxpayer funding for the Afghan government: “Norwegian authorities note with disappointment the slow and uneven progress that has characterized the follow-up to the commitments made.”

More proof the corruption is on the U.S. side: In Kabul Province, Kabul city, Afghan civilians protested the U.S. owned contractor Supreme Group.  The Afghans work for a subcontractor called Afghan Mansoor Jalal Logistics and Transportation Company (MLC).  The subcontractor says Supreme Group is refusing to pay them!  The owners of MLC says Supreme Group owes them $20 million USD!  Supreme Group is a U.S. taxpayer funded contractor providing logistical support to military units.  Supreme Group is also involved in a no-bid contract scandal involving military food supply.

Corporate Martial Law: Hewlett Packard & NEC announce data spying & storage deal!

22 July 2013 (12:26 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Ramadan 1434/31 Tir 1391/15 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

Japan’s computer giant, NEC, announced a data storage deal with Hewlett Packard (HP).  Initial reports say they will develop small servers that can analyze and store large amounts of data.

Officials with NEC admit they and HP are trying to jump on the government/corporate domestic spy, I mean data collection business, being referred to as the promising field of “big data analysis”.

World War 3, Africa Front: The U.S. Empire Beast gets bigger! How is the U.S. taxpayer funding this?

22 July 2013 (22:25 UTC-07 Tango 21 July 2013)/14 Ramadan 1434/31 Tir 1391/15 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) will begin war games with South Africa later this week.  At least 5000 personnel will be involved.

South African Navy (SAN) Captain, Jaco Theunissen, explained the purpose: “We are exercising to do a human support intervention….where you will fight against rebel groups.”

Captain Theunissen also stated that military medical units are training to provide healthcare on a large scale to civilian populations in war environments.  In other words, the United States and its empirical allies are definitely using the military as “international aid agencies”, as stated concerning the current massive war games with Australia.

Medical “human support intervention” is already underway in Liberia, called Operation Onward Liberty (OOL).  According to AFRICOM, OOL has been ongoing since 2010.  U.S. Air Force Major, Joshua Latham, revealed the goal is to take OOL outside of Liberia: “…then you can begin operations to serve other people, whether it be other nations or individuals….”

A former commander of AFRICOM supports the creation of the precedent setting UN combat brigade known as Intervention Brigade: “….the Intervention Brigade is, as I believe it is postured to be, is an element of MONUSCO, I think that’s the right structure….I do think that the force is necessary.”-General Carter Ham, U.S. Army

General Ham stated that it was the African Union that asked for the U.S. to get involved: “We were asked by Africans to support an African-led activity….”

Ham also said “….we don’t go anywhere or do anything which we have not been invited by the host-nation government.”  Yet, an African reporter with the Mail and Guardian countered by stating “…most other countries are hostile politically to AFRICOM…”

AFRICOM now has a special operations force called Commander’s In-Extremis Force.  It’s being used a a type of rapid reaction force.   Another African reporter questioned the possible redundancy of AFRICOM: “….doesn’t it seem that AFRICOM is duplicating everything, similar exercises of other [U.S.] agencies that are on the continent, because there are loads of these agencies.  So isn’t AFRICOM duplicating with planned session of exercises….?”

Ham responded by saying that budget constraints make it difficult to operate redundant missions.  This led to another reporter asking “….with all the budget cuts happening in the States, is AFRICOM likely to survive?”

Ham ensured them that AFRICOM was not going to killed by the bad economy in the States, but will make adjustments as necessary.  According to AFRICOM, U.S. taxpayers fund the operation to the tune of about $275 million USD per year (which is actually cheap compared to other U.S. military operations).  But how can the U.S. government fund any military operations when it’s bank is busted?  (Afghan opium anyone?)

The General admitted the U.S. is competing, maybe even cooperating with China for resources in Africa: “…we are competing for economic position.  I think we’re competing for influence…….we’ve kind of chosen different paths to achieve our goals.  But….I wouldn’t characterize it….as any type of adversarial relationship.”

The now retired General Ham said to keep your eyes on South Africa, Botswana, Angola and Zimbabwe.

World War 3: Massive U.S.-Australian war games, aimed at China? Your tax dollars aimed at Australia, for the benefit of the Elites!

21 July 2013 (11:40 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Ramadan 1434/30 Tir 1391/14 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“War isn’t about making peace, war is terror.”-Robin Taubenfeld, protestor

The biannual Talisman Sabre war games are underway, and there’ve been problems.  Last week two bombed up USMC Harriers were unable to drop their load on the intended target, due to uncleared “hazards” on the ground, so they unloaded them on the Great Barrier Reef.  The planes were low on fuel, and their training bombs could have prevented a safe landing.

This year’s Talisman Sabre games are reported to be the biggest yet, with about 28000 U.S. and Australian personnel taking part (don’t waste your time trying to get an accurate headcount, I’ve seen several different Aussie and U.S. reports with numbers that differ by several thousand).  USN officials say they invited China to take part, but big whoop, they’ve always invited China to the party, at least since 2009!

At the end of last year some Australian news sources reported that the Talisman Sabre games are directed against China. But one USN official said the U.S. actually wants to make China a partner in dominating the region: “I think it would be misguided to say its focused on any one country, what it’s focused on is increasing the stability in the region and thereby increasing the prosperity. People are going to more willing to invest their money and commit to a region if they know stability is there.“-Vice Admiral Scott Swift, U.S. Navy

(so this is proof the U.S. military is the tool of the elites because, after all, who has the money to throw away on investing into an entire region of the World?)

Australia might be playing off the U.S. and China, it’s been revealed that Australian military leaders have been discussing the possibility of their own war games with China.  But the real reason the U.S., and the country formerly known as New Holland, want to play ‘army’ with China is simple: “We need to know the Chinese……”-General David Hurley, Australian Defence Force

One Aussie news source said “Brigadier Bob Brown says the exercise is also used to prepare…..international aid agencies for humanitarian crisis.”  Mmmm, what international aid agencies?   Are the western elites trying to portray their militaries as ‘aid agencies’?

For the people of Queensland the war games are being called a “rocket” booster for their ailing economy, at the expense of taxpayers: “Tens of millions of dollars is injected into the local economy via accommodation, via cafes, restaurants and food outlets, the retail sector as well as the supply chain.”-Mary Carroll, Capricorn Enterprise

False Flag (?) Bio-War: Confirmation, malaria vaccine causes U.S. soldier to massacre Afghan civilians!

20 July 2013 (15:24 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Ramadan 1434/29 Tir 1391/13 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“The company [Roche] assessed the event of Homicide as medically significant.”-Case ID: 8504150, FDA-Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)

In March 2012, United Kingdom news media reported that U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales had been under the influence of a controversial malaria vaccine when he supposedly killed at least 16 Afghan civilians in their homes (Afghans insist there was more than one U.S. soldier involved) .  Then, at the beginning of July 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed the British reports!

According to the FDA, at the end of March 2012 a pharmacist filed a Adverse Event report.  The vaccine/treatment used on Bales is Mefloquine Hydrochloride (aka Lariam, Mephaquin or Mefliam).  It’s made by a company called Roche.

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine there are numerous bad side effects of the drug, including “Feeling confused….Seeing or hearing unusual things….Unusual behavior or thoughts of hurting or killing others or oneself.”

Bales attorney says he has military records showing Bales was given Lariam: “We know that he was given Lariam while in Iraq.  We just don’t have a complete set of medical records…..He can’t help us. He just says he took ‘whatever they gave me.’”-John Henry Browne

Having spent time in the military I can confirm that it is common for personnel to not question military medical officials.

Remington Nevin, a former U.S. Army doctor, says the Army’s own studies showed the vaccine to be dangerous, and ordered that it not be given to personnel who had suffered head wounds.  The Army also ordered the documentation of the administration of the drug.  Nevin says both orders were routinely ignored.

On 17 January 2012 the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Joathan Woodson, made this admission: “Some deploying service members have been provided mefloquine for malaria prophylaxis without appropriate documentation…and without proper screening….not all individuals have been provided the required mefloquine medication guide and wallet information card, as required by the Food and Drug Administration.”

It was Remington Nevin, along with The Military Times, that used the Freedom of Information Act to force the FDA to reveal the March 2012 Adverse Event report.  The Adverse Event was first reported to the drug maker Roche.  Officials with Roche thought it severe enough to forward to the FDA: “We took a look at it, and we decided we needed to submit it.”-Chris Vancheri, Genentech/Roche Group

Note that the Assistant Secretary of Defense statement was made two months prior to the Adverse Event report.

Martial Law U.S.A.: Secretive NAZIistic U.S. court approves continued NSA domestic spying!

20 July 2013 (14:22 UTC-07 Tango)/12 Ramadan 1434/29 Tir 1391/13 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“The Government filed an application with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court seeking renewal of the authority to collect telephony metadata in bulk, and that the Court renewed that authority.”-James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence

The secretive Foreign Intelligence Service Court (FISC) has authorized the continued domestic phone data collection of the National Security Agency (NSA).

Isn’t it interesting that a court created to oversee ‘foreign’ spy operations is ruling on ‘domestic’ spy operations?  Most U.S. citizens have never heard of FISC, even though the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 created the NAZIistic court.

Recently a contracted employee of the NSA revealed that the NSA ordered phone companies to provide all domestic phone call records to the government spy agency.

On 19 July 2013, NSA director James Clapper announced that the FISC has ordered Verizon to continue providing the NSA with all phone call records.  (it’s assumed that other phone service providers have been issued the same order)

Gold from Cosmic Stellar Collisions! Proof the ancient Sumerians were right?

19 July 2013 (21:06 UTC-07 Tango 18 July)/11 Ramadan 1434/28 Tir 1391/12 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

“We estimate that the amount of gold produced and ejected during the merger of the two neutron stars may be as large as 10 Moon masses….”–Edo Berger, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Astronomers think they found the origin of gold; colliding dead stars.  The study will be published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

According to Zecharia Sitchin’s translations of ancient Sumerian/Akkadian writings, God the Father Sun, called Apsu, created the planets including the now dead Mother Goddess Tiamat.  The tradition of giving a bride a gold ring comes from the ancient Akkadian myths, for Father Sun had the messenger planet Mummu (Mercury) present Tiamat with the gift of gold.  In other words, the Sumerian/Akkadian ‘myths’ (written down several thousands of years before Jesus of Nazareth was born) correctly stated that gold originated from stars!

“When in the Above the gods in the heavens had not been called into being,
And in the Below Ki, the Firm Ground, had not yet been named,
Alone in the void there existed Apsu [our Sun], their Primordial Begetter…….Tiamat, the Mother of All, as a spouse for himself he fashioned.
A celestial mother, a watery beauty she was indeed!
Beside him Apsu little Mummu then brought forth,
As his messenger he him appointed, a gift for Tiamat to present.
A gift resplendent to his spouse Apsu granted:
A shining metal, the everlasting gold, for her alone to possess!“-Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

Apparently it was the interaction between the Sun and this gigantic terrestrial planet called Tiamat that resulted in the creation of the other planets of our solar system.  Yet positions of power had to be established, and Tiamat considered usurping Apsu.

“At that time, Nibiru had not yet been seen, The Earth was not yet called into being.  Mingled were the heavenly waters; by a Hammered Bracelet [asteroid belt] they were not yet separated.  At that time, circuits [planetary orbits] were not yet fully fashioned; The destinies of the gods were not yet firmly decreed……Tiamat, getting no rest, was aggrieved and raged.  A throng to march by her side she formed, A growling, raging host against the sons of Apsu she brought forth….”-Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

Tiamat challenged Apsu’s reign, and threatened the security of those planets that would not join her.  Hold on now, this sounds like the origins of the Judeo/Christian/Islamic myth of the great battle between God/Apsu? and Lucifer/Tiamat? over the creation of Jesus/Nibiru!  Apsu gave birth to a savior son, to kill Mother Goddess Tiamat. The savior planet (literally the son of the Sun, or son of God since the Sun was/is considered God) was called Nibiru and its description sounds like a failed star.

“…in the heart of the Deep a god was engendered, In a Chamber of Fates, a place of destinies, was he born.  By an artful Creator was he fashioned, the son of his own Sun he was…..His head to doubled size grew larger, four members [the four horsemen of Revelation] at his sides he sprouted. He moved his lips in acceptance, a godly fire from them blazed forth….Let Nibiru be your name, as Crossing [the Sign of the Cross, Iron Cross, Svastika] forever known!……Tiamat, she who bore us, now detests us; She has set up a warring host, she is furious with rage.  Against the gods, her children, eleven warriors [planets, in the Judeo/Christian/Islamic myths the fallen angels] march by her side……Let Nibiru become our Avenger! Let him vanquish Tiamat, let him save our lives!”-Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

According to the study by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, gold is created when stars literally collide: “We’ve been looking for a ‘smoking gun’ to link a short gamma-ray burst with a neutron star collision. The radioactive glow from GRB 130603B may be that smoking gun.”–Wen-fai Fong,  graduate research student

“Now this is the account of the Celestial Battle, And how the Earth lead come to be, and of Nibiru’s destiny……Face to face they came, Tiamat and Nibiru; against each other they were advancing……The Lord [Nibiru] spread his net [electromagnetic/gravitational field], to encompass her he cast it; With fury Tiamat cried out, like one possessed she lost her senses.  The Evil Wind [electromagnetic radiation from Nibiru, which is an extremely dense magnetic planet], which had been behind him, Nibiru drove forward, in her face he let it loose…..The Evil Wind charged her belly, into her innards it made its way…..Through the opening Nibiru shot a brilliant arrow a lightning most divine.  It pierced her innards, her belly it tore apart….into two parts he split her, her chest from her lower parts he separated.
Her inner channels he cut apart, her golden veins he beheld with wonder.”-Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

According to the Sumerians/Akkadians Tiamat was the only planet in our solar system with such a concentration of gold.  Nibiru, with the help of his four companions (aka the four cardinal winds/directions, four horsemen of the apocalypse), dismembered Tiamat, but she was so big that after flinging her head into deep space and smashing up a large chuck of her body to create the asteroid belt, there was enough left to create a new planet: Earth.

“Passing again in Apsu’s region, of the Sun’s missing spouse he thought with remorse.  He gazed upon Tiamat’s wounded half, to her Upper Part he gave attention; The waters of life, her bounty, from the wounds were still pouring.
Her golden veins Apsu’s rays were reflecting…….He addressed words to Apsu, to him thus saying: With your warming rays, to the wounds give healing!….Apsu to the words of Nibiru gave heed: Let the Earth join my family,
Ki, Firm Land of the Below, let Earth her name henceforth be!”-Second Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

By the way, the Moon was one of Tiamat’s minions.  This is why the Moon has negative symbology in some myths.  The now dead Moon was caught up in the new Earth’s gravitational field as it journeyed to it’s new home between Venus and Mars.

After the Cosmic Battle, where did all the gold go?  In the asteroid belt and on Earth!  The asteroid belt is too unstable to safely mine for gold, so the Earth has been subject to intense gold mining operations for hundreds of thousands of years, originated by the humans from Nibiru.  In South Africa, gold mining is known to have existed as far back as 5000 BC!  Bronze Age Egyptian rulers were told that gold was more plentiful than dirt in southern Africa.  Today, African gold veins are still considered the biggest on Earth, in fact South Africa still holds 50% of the World’s gold reserves!  South Africa’s Witwatersrand mine has the World’s largest deposits!

“In the sky chamber Ea over mountains and valleys traveled, The lands by oceans separated he with the Scanner examined.  Again and again there was the same indication: Where dry land from dry land apart was torn……Golden veins from Earth’s innards were abundant!  Abzu [over time the region becomes the continent of Africa], of Gold the Birthplace, Ea to the region the name gave…..With gold Earth indeed is filled……Abzu it shall be called, can an abundance of gold be gotten!……In the Abzu the soil they tested. Gold there was indeed; with much soil and rocks it was commixed….”-Fourth Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

Thus begins the long history of Earth being used by extraterrestrials to mine gold.  People should wonder, gold had no practical use until the 20th Century.  Why where ancient kings and queens (who claim divine right, meaning ordained by God/gods/extraterrestrials) so obsessed with gold?  Why do ancient myths around the World associate gold with the Sun and the gods?  Why even now, are modern elites obsessed with gold?  (el-ite, from the Sumarian/Akkadian extraterrestrial human/god EL)

“The gold from Earth’s innards to obtain, the gold from the admixture to separate, By skyships and chariots to be carried, from landing places [like Jerusalem/Al Quds] tasks to perform.  Who of the settlements in charge will be, who of the Abzu shall take command?”-Fourth Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

“…the fields diminished their yields [electromagnetic field weakens], fruits and grains lost abundance.
From circuit to circuit [complete orbit], nearing the Sun heat grew stronger; in the faraway abode, coolness was more biting [climate change]……In the atmosphere a breaching [ozone hole/thinning?].…From circuit to circuit Nibiru’s atmosphere more breaching suffered……ways to bandage the wound were urgently considered.  A new shield to embrace the planet was attempted……..to use a metal, gold was its name. On Nibiru it was greatly rare…..It was the only substance that to the finest powder could be ground; lofted high to heaven, suspended it could remain [chem trails].  Thus, with replenishments, the breach it would heal, protection make better.”-First Tablet, Lost Book of Enki

The problem was that the chem trailed gold didn’t stay in Nibiru’s atmosphere permanently, requiring constant recharging with new gold from Earth.  This is where the myth of the savior god returning to Earth periodically, comes from.  The next time Jesus, I mean Nibiru is scheduled to make a gold pick up from Earth is when the zodiacal age of Pisces gives way to Aquarius.   And now you know why the Earthly elites are so obsessed with hoarding gold!

Government Evil: U.S. backed South Korea forces entertainers to perform for soldiers!

18 July 2013 (13:21 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Ramadan 1434/27 Tir 1391/11 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

Recently it was revealed that Republic of Korea forces Korean entertainers to perform for military units.  Entertainers are conscripted as ‘entertainment soldiers’ and serve with the Defense Media Agency.

Now, the Rok Defense Ministry was forced to end such a program after scandals publicly revealed the program.  The scandals involved favoritism and bribery of government officials and entertainers.

In the U.S. backed southern Korea, all men must serve two years in the military.  Despite South Korea having a higher ‘democracy’ rating than even the United States, the people have been under Martial Law since 1972, declared by U.S. backed dictator Park Chung-hee.  Today, the new dictator of RoK is his daughter, Park Geun-hye.

Also, POVs (Privately Owned Vehicles) could become property of the ‘democratic’ government of Republic of Korea, if full blown war were declared.

Remember who pulls the strings in the Martial law controlled South Korea; the United States.  The U.S. has a lot of experience with martial law.

World War 3, East Asian Front: Billions of U.S. taxes spent on new military HQ in Korea! More proof of coming war with China!

18 July 2013 (13:06 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Ramadan 1434/27 Tir 1391/11 Ji-Wie (6th month) 4711

U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) will be replaced by KORCOM (Korea Command).

KORCOM, along with United Nations Command forces, will be headquartered in a new $10.7 billion USD facility located at Pyeongtaek, currently where the U.S. Army’s Camp Humphreys is now.  U.S. Army officials said the new massive HQ can operate for 72 hours without re-supply.

The shift to KORCOM is dependent on southern Korea taking over direct military operational control (OPCON) during wartime.  However, today the Republic of Korea Defense Ministry asked for a delay in transfer of OPCON from the U.S.

The OPCON and KORCOM shifts were to go into effect at the end of 2015.  RoK defense officials say they’re holding off on taking over OPCON because they believe the military situation in East Asia is escalating faster than expected, and RoK forces are not yet ready to take the lead with OPCON.

Government Evil: Samantha Power & the United States are the tools of Israel! U.S. is anti-Palestinian!

“Sam had been the point person at the White House on all issues related to Israel at the UN.”-Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser

Barack Obama’s nominee for Ambassador to the United Nations has revealed who she, and Obama, really work for; Israel!

Here’s some of what the zionist told the U.S. Senate:

“The United States has no greater friend in the world than the state of Israel. We….have a special relationship with Israel.”

“And just as I have done as President Obama’s UN adviser at the White House, I will stand up for Israel and work tirelessly to defend it.”

“The Security Council seat is one that has eluded Israel, despite its many contributions across the years, and I commit to you wholeheartedly to go on offense, as well as playing defense on the legitimation of Israel, and we’ll make every effort to secure greater integration of Israeli public servants in the UN system.”

“We need to deter the Palestinians in any way we can…”

Implied by one U.S. official, Samantha Power was actually nominated by Israel: “Samantha has always made herself available and accessible to many Israeli officials visiting Washington for coordination on our efforts at the United Nations.  And that has produced strong relationships, an ease of communication, and a lot of mutual trust that will continue when she is UN ambassador.”-Dan Shapiro, U.S. Ambassador to Israel

Keep in mind that it’s interesting that U.S. Senators are apparently concerned Power wouldn’t properly represent Israel!   Is Israel a taxpaying member of the United States?
