World War 3: Leon Panette restates that the U.S. will back up an Israeli attack on Iran

“Obviously Israel is an independent country, and they’ll make whatever decisions they make on their own based on what they think is in their national interests….If they should make that decision, then obviously the United States would take action.”-Leon Panette, U.S. Secretary of Defense

World War 3: Details of Panjwaii shooting investigation made public; 2 villages, 2 squads of U.S. troops, 2 helicopters, women raped. U.S. veteran believes claims

“What’s coming now is increasing evidence that everything the U.S. Army has said is a lie!”-Gordon Duff, Veterans Today, USMC Vietnam veteran

The investigation made by a Afghan Parliament group, gave details of what they found regarding the “lone” U.S. shooting genocide in Panjwaii.

The investigators say there were between 15 and 20 U.S. troops, operating in two teams (squads), being backed up by two helicopters.  Two, not one, villages were attacked.  They also discovered that several women were raped!

Some of the witnesses interviewed were Afghan National Security Forces.

The attacks actually took place in two villages more than 1.5 kilometers (0.9 mile) apart. All the killings took place in less than 30 minutes, which makes it impossible for one person to hit two villages!  Investigators say three sizes of bullets were used.  In one house eleven bodies had been piled up and burned. Women had been raped.

A U.S. Vietnam War veteran, and current veterans activist, Gordon Duff, stated that it is impossible for a single soldier to walk off a U.S. base in Afghanistan: “When you’re in a forward position [Forward Operating Base FOB, Combat OutPost COP]….to leave a base requires a vehicle…a vehicle could not have left the compound at night without more than one person in it…to open the [compound] gate would have required the mission to be allowed…a watch officer, he would have had to have given permission, so they had permission…”

Duff went on to explain that the fact that the bodies were piled and burned is also proof that more than one person did the killing: “The fires would have been caused by pouring gasoline from what we call a cherry can [not everyone calls it that, my 13 years in service no one in the units I was in called it that, although I did hear it from other units] which weighs about 50 pounds.  Nobody walked with one or more cans…they’re attached to the back of our vehicles…” 

 

 

United Police Kingdom: Man arrested for questioning Afghanistan War on facebook

“What about the innocent families who have been brutally killed? The women who have been raped, the children who have been sliced up? Your enemies were the Taliban not innocent families.”-facebook posting

The above comment got a 19 year old man arrested by Yorkshire police, and facing charges of “racially aggravated public order offence”.

Government Lies: U.S. allows farm Corporations to contiue business with Iran, oil contractors as well. Proof the U.S. sanctions against Iran are bogus, and possibly illegal under current U.S. law created by Republicans!

“If they need something really quick and reliable, the U.S. is there to do it.”-unnamed U.S. wheat trader

It’s been revealed that despite U.S. economic sanctions against Iran, U.S. agricultural giants Cargill and Bunge will sell about 220,000 tons of U.S. wheat to Iran, by April.

Not only that, but Iran is paying more than the going Market rate for wheat, as much as $30 per metric ton more!

So what happened to the U.S. economic sanctions against Iran?  Turns out money does talk, and U.S. officials are willing to turn a blind eye to big Iranian money being spent on U.S. industries: “They seem to be taking hundreds of thousands of tonnes a week. If that’s the case and we repeat 2008, if they buy seven million tonnes of wheat, this is going to be a huge deal for the [U.S.] market.-another unnamed U.S. wheat trader

This could also be proof that there is no economic recovery taking place inside the United States, forcing officials to go back on threats against Iran.

It’s not just the agriculture industry, even U.S. medical industries and oil contractors, and even Mars candy bar corporation, are allowed to continue business with Iran.  Guess why?  A U.S. law created by Republicans, under the influence of Corporate America, in 2000, allows dozens of U.S. industries to be exempt from any future sanctions against Iran!!!

According to a December 2010 New York Times article, the U.S. government, under Republican President George Bush Jr, enacted a law in the year 2000 that allowed U.S. companies to not only do business with “terrorist” “rogue” states such as Iran and North Korea,  but to be exempt from future sanctions!

Even Democrats complained about the Republican created law: “It’s not a bad thing to grant exceptions if it represents a conscious policy decision to give countries an incentive. But when you create loopholes like this that you can drive a Mack truck through, you are giving countries something for nothing, and they just laugh in their teeth. I think there have been abuses.”-Stuart Eizenstat, former Bill Clinton administration

World War 3: Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia orders destruction of all Christian Churches! Backlash for Herman Cain statements?

The Grand Mufti of U.S. petrodollar triad member Saudi Arabia, has ordered that all churches on the Arabian Peninsula must be destroyed!

This follows yesterday’s announcement by Said al-Shihri, a leader of the U.S. created al Qaeda, who ordered the killing of all Shi’a Muslims in Saudi Arabia!

Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, is the highest official of religious law in Saudi Arabia, as well as the head of the Supreme Council of Islamic Scholars.  He claims the Prophet Mohammed said the Arabian Peninsula can have only one religion.

The Grand Mufti’s declaration follows the announcement of a Kuwaiti politician, Osama al-Munawar, who said the Kuwaiti parliament will consider a law that will ban the construction of new Christian churches in Kuwait.

These calls for actions against Christians might be in retaliation for anti-Muslim statements made by U.S. leaders. Failed presidential candidate hopeful, Herman Cain, said he believed that U.S. Muslims were not protected by the Constitution: “They’re using the church part of our First Amendment to infuse their morals in that community, and the people of that community do not like it.”

Pat Buchanan told a radio host that the U.S. should find a way to ban the construction of new Mosques.

In 2009 Switzerland banned the building of Minarets.  In 2010 France banned the wearing of anything that covered your face, the law is actually directed towards Muslim women.

Basically, the Christian West started the whole thing!

Oil & Gas Prices: Iran cuts oil shipment to 4 more European countries! SWIFT retaliation? U.S. to sanction India

March 16, 2012, Iran’s Oil Ministry announced it will stop oil shipments to four more European Union members.

Back in February Iran stopped oil shipments to France and United Kingdom.  Iran had also named four other EU countries that could lose their Iranian oil shipments.

Iranian media reporting that Iran will now stop oil shipments to those other countries.  Those countries are Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

I’ve heard that claim before, but this time it might be for real, and in retaliation for Iran’s exclusion from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT).

“It is a direct result of international and multilateral action to intensify financial sanctions against Iran.”-Lazaro Campos, CEO SWIFT

The SWIFT move will affect about 30 Iranian banks.

Washington DC insiders say it’s likely the United States will sanction India, for refusing to take part in the U.S. led oil sanctions against Iran: “Given the level of trade, and in particular oil, between Iran and India, targeting an Indian entity that facilitates Iran’s access to the international financial market should be top of mind for the U.S. Treasury.”-Avi Jorisch, former Treasury Department official

According to the International Energy Agency, India and South Korea have greatly increased the amount of oil they’re buying from Iran.  Japan and South Korea are demanding exemptions from the U.S. oil sanctions, because British Petroleum was able to be exempted. (I told you Obama does not have the support of the International Community, as he claims)

 

 

Oil & Gas Prices: Incompetent Chevron creates new spill in Brazil, unknown oil spill near Seattle, U.S. fisherman still waiting for money from 2010 BP oil spill

Only a few days after Chevron announced it was hopeful in restating oil production in Brazil, ooops, there goes another one!

March 15, 2012, Chevron reported another oil spill, just 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from last November’s spill.  The spill was actually noticed on March 4, but Chevron didn’t report it until now because they didn’t know where it was coming from!

In the U.S. state of Washington, the Department of Ecology is trying to figure out what kind of oil is spilling from two sunken barges.  The oil spill is forming near Lummi Island.

Salvage companies were in the process of cutting up the sunken barges when the oil spilled out. Some officials say the oil could be coming from under the barges. The spill is affecting 200 feet of shoreline.

In U.S. states along the Gulf of Mexico, fisherman still haven’t been paid by British Petroleum.  In 2010 an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil were spilled by BP operations, shutting down the fishing industry.

The Commercial Fishermen of America say at least $2.5 billion in damages were done to the Louisiana fishing industry alone!  The numbers of fish are still below pre-spill levels!

Recently a settlement was made, but it could take years for all the money to be issued.  Another problem is that attorneys are about to unleash a campaign to convince people they can get their money fast, if they only go through their law firm.

Because it will take so long for the money to be issued, the Gulf states could still lose 2,650 to 3,975 jobs, with earnings losses of $68 million to $103 million!

 

 

Government/Corporate Evil: EU cuts funding for Hungary, Hungary tells EU to F Off!

“Hungarians will not live as foreigners dictate, will not give up their independence or their freedom, therefore they will not give up their constitution either!”-Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary

March 15, 2012, Hungary’s Prime Minister told the European Union to basically F Off! 

On March 13, 2012, EU finance ministers suspended half a billion Euros worth of aid to Hungary.  They said it was because Hungary was not co-operating on their demands for fiscal reform.

“This provides a strong incentive for Hungary to conduct sound and sustainable fiscal policy.”-Olli Rehn, EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner

But that’s not the only reason the EU is angry with Hungary.  Hungary has a constitution that states that Hungarians will not recognize laws created by foreigners!

Hungarians are holding anti-EU rallies, and the Prime Minister gave a defiant speech: “Freedom means that we decide about the laws governing our own life, we decide what is important and what isn’t. From the Hungarian perspective, with a Hungarian mindset, following the rhythm of our Hungarian hearts. We will not be a colony!

The EU is now threatening legal action if Hungary does not change its constitution.

Government/Corporate Evil: Greek taxes will increase, collections to be privatized, EU officials sending in the tax collecting troops

At the end of February the European Union said it was sending in tax collection forces to help the new, unelected Greek government take money from the people.

On March 15, 2012, the EU tax collection task force (including 160 German tax man troops!) said Greece has already collected about U.S.$1.2 billion.

On March 14, 2012, New Democracy party leader Antonis Samaras, said not only is the Greek government going to increase taxes, but they’re going to privatize the tax collection business: “If necessary we will get tax oriented companies like KPMG to help collect taxes. We have to make an appeal for outsourcing, even in collecting taxes and we’ll also try to make public employees more competitive.”

Making public employees “more competitive” is code for reducing their pay and benefits even more!  Now you know why the Greek people are still fighting in the streets.

KPMG is a Swiss company that specializes in tax collections. They have operations in the United States, and more than 150 countries!

 

 

United Police States of America: You are a Terrorist in California if you sell organic milk! Woman charged with money laundering & securities fraud! Man tortured by cops for one week, nearly died! Part of conspiracy to shut down organic farms!

“I’m shocked that this is America. Because it seems like you’re in some third world country, in a gulag, like in the movie Midnight Express, where you’re absolutely just tortured. That was the experience I had. Your mind goes, how can this be? This is America?”-James Stewart, victim of Los Angeles County Sherrif’s Department

If you sell raw milk in California you will be accused of being a terrorist, of money laundering, securities fraud, conspiracy, grand theft and tax evasion.  You will also be tortured!

65 year old James Cecil Stewart was arrested and charged with 37 felonies regarding his raw milk business, Rawesome.  His business partner, Larry Otting, has been charge with 14 counts.

Stewart claims he suffered 10 days of “hell” at the hands of LA County deputies: “I thought I was gonna die in there.”

A March 7, 2012, report said his partner Otting was still in jail!

But wait, there’s more.  Two other people were arrested and charged with a plethora of felonies as well.

Sharon Palmer, who runs Healthy Family Farms in Santa Paula, was arrested, and Victoria Bloch has also been charged in connection to Healthy Family Farms.

In a video posted in July 2010, Bloch explains how the local governments of California are shutting down raw milk farms, and even farmers’ market operations, because they are taking business away from corporations.

It’s interesting that almost two years after the video was posted, of Bloch explaining that Corporate America, through local governments, is acting to shut down competition from small organic farmers, she and four others involved with organic farms, get arrested and charged with an incredible amount of felonies!

Watch video of August 2011, FDA raid on Rawsome organic farm.

The raw goat milk farmers had clients in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties.  They have been charged with crimes in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.  The attorney for Sharon Palmer, Matt Bromund, says the outrageous actions of the county courts “…smacks of grandstanding.”

There are plenty of videos of local & federal government raids of organic farms, raw milk sellers, tomato farmers, etc, across the United States, check out YouTube.
