World War 3: U.S. civilian doctors about to head to Afghanistan, to help Afghans devastated by 30+ years of U.S. inspired war!

“I expect to see very extensive injuries. I expect to see burn injuries, burn injuries that have gone on to heal inappropriately.”-Louis Riima, Nassau County Burn Unit

Doctors in New York are joining a mission to help Afghans who’ve been horribly wounded, no thanks to the 10 plus years of occupation by the United States (and more than 30 years of war instigated by the U.S.).

The mission is headed by a group called Mission: Restore.

“Afghanistan is a country of 29 million people with over 30 years of continuous war and devastation.  Of those 29 million, there are only 2 self-trained plastic surgeons who are practicing in the capital of Kabul.  Afghanistan ranks as the least developed country in the eastern hemisphere and in need of serious infrastructure and health service development.”-Mission: Restore

Keep in mind that the 30 plus years of “war and devastation” is the fault of the United States.  Former U.S. National Security Advisor, and Trilateral Commission co-founder, Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, admitted that it was U.S. foreign policy that got the Soviet Union to invade in 1979!

What Economic Recovery? Idaho will lose hoped for Nuclear Industry jobs, Areva loses $3.2 billion!

French nuclear industry giant, Areva, announced record losses on March 2, 2012.  They lost U.S.$3.2 billion!!!

The loss is directly tied to it’s incompetent African uranium mining operation (which looks like they bought a pig in a poke).  The French government is investigating, because Areva is actually a French government corporation, and they used taxpayer money to buy the pig in a poke mine!

Also, since the March 11, 2011, nuclear disaster in Japan, which has resulted in about 90% of their nuclear plants shut down, orders for fuel rods made by Areva have crashed!

Also, Germany’s decision to end the use of nuclear power plants will result in 1,500 Areva employees losing their jobs in that country.

On February 28, 2012, Areva announced it was “indefinitely” suspending its planned uranium enrichment project in Eastern Idaho.  Its called the Eagle Rock project.  Local contractors were notified in writing about the suspension.

Areva is trying to get money from the U.S. government. They were trying for at least $3 billion, but now, with such huge losses that won’t be enough!

Eastern Idaho is desperate for good paying jobs, and a lot of hopes were riding on the Eagle Rock project.

What Economic Recovery: City desperate for cash approves Marijuana farming

A city, trying to deal with more than 20% unemployment, has turned to allowing  cannabis for cash!

So far there’s no comment from the federal government, that’s because in this country growing pot is legal (within limits).

The country is Spain!  Officials with the city of Rasquera, in Catalonia, have signed a deal that’s estimated to bring in U.S. $1.6 million to their local economy!

But it’s not just marijuana: ”The produce will only go to members of the association and it won’t all be cannabis. There will be crop rotation with cereal and sugar beet.”-Bernat Pellisa, Mayor of Rasquera

The deal will make Rasquera the largest legal pot growing area in all Europe!

Red Horse & World War 3: Reporters killed by Pro-U.S. Rebels in Syria, bodies found after Syrian troops re-take city

The bodies of two journalists, one U.S., the other French, were found by Syrian forces after they re-took the Baba Amr district of Homs.

The Syrian Red Crescent, and the International Red Cross, had made several attempts to recover the bodies, while the rebels were in control of the district, but the rebels shot at them every time.

The bodies will now undergo DNA testing, before being handed over to their respective governments.

Ever since the U.S. led War on Terror started hundreds of journalists have been killed.  The overwhelming majority have been killed by U.S., or U.S. supported forces!

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.

Red Horse & World War 3: Racist Pro-U.S. Libyan Rebels put Black people in Zoo, force fed flags, caught on video! Obama shows true colors? Portent of things to come in the U.S.?

“Eat the flag, you dog. Patience you dog, patience. God is Great!”-voice of Pro-U.S. Libyan Rebel on video

Some much for freakin’ freedom!  A video shows non-Black Libyan Rebels, supported by the United States and Europe, forcing Black people to eat the old green Libyan flag, while locked in a zoo!

You need to watch the video, ’cause this is what’s coming for the United States!!!  And no, do not blame Islam!  Blame your freakin’ lying ass Elitist Christian Republican/Democrat controlled Corporate America government!!!   Realize that every country that the United States has been involved in “liberating” has degenerated into this bullcrap!!!

Remember the video’s of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, when they were killed.  The same MO of humiliation!  This is not Islam!  In fact, in the video of Gaddafi’s murder he is saying, over and over, “Muslims do not do this.”

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.

Red Horse & World War 3: Pro-U.S. Syrian rebels arbitrarily killing people

“They kill both young and old. They steal people from their homes and chop them into pieces, put them in plastic bags and throw them out!”-‘Galina’, witness

Refugees from Homs are reporting that U.S./European supported Syrian rebels are arbitrarily killing people as they try to flee the violence.

Witnesses also say that some of the ‘rebels’ are actually soldiers, or mercenaries, from France, Lebanon and Tunisia!

Some refugees are saying that Syrian Christians are being targeted.

Reports say the U.S./European supported Syrian rebel forces destroyed water and electric power stations in Homs.  Why would you need to do that if you’re simply trying to replace one government with a, supposedly, more people friendly government?

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.

World War 3: Protestors in Saudi Arabia blow up major oil pipeline. Get ready for higher gas prices!

Anti-U.S. demonstrators have blown up a major oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia.

The anti-U.S./Saudi regime movement has been building since the beginning of 2011, yet ignored by the mainstream U.S. media (which has focused only on Libya and Syria)!

The pipeline is near the city of Awamiyah (Al-Awamia).  The city has seen increased protests, and increased brutality by the pro-U.S. Saudi regime.  Yet, no mention by U.S. media, or U.S. officials!

Since the beginning of February 2012, dozens of protestors have been arrested, and several killed. Awamiyah is a port city, on the Persian Gulf.  It is a famous tomato growing area, but is surrounded by oil pipelines.  More than 2 million barrels of oil pass through the area everyday!

Political Incompetence: Obama says his Apoplogy to Afghans have improved relations with Afghanistan!

In a clear case of being out of touch, U.S. President Barack Obama said, in an interview with ABC News: “We’ve been there over a decade now, and that creates strains…”

No shit sherlock, can you say we invaded and that alone creates “strains”?  How would you like it if your country was invaded?

Obama said the reason for his, and USMC General John Allen’s apology, was to “…save lives…” of U.S. troops.  He was then questioned whether it has improved the situation in Afghanistan and he responded: “It calmed things down…”

Where does Obama keep his head?

World War 3: Afghan Bank blown up, Karzai frees dozens of prisoners in Kandahar

On February 29, 2012, in Takhar Province, a vehicle belonging to a bank in the city of Taloqan exploded.  At least 13 civilians were wounded.

The “Taliban” have not claimed responsibility, which is not normal as they usually claim responsibility right away, if they did it.  Officials with the city of Taloqan said a bomb was attached to the bank vehicle.

On February 28, Afghan President Hamid Karzai ordered the release of 27 prisoners in Kandahar Province.  Those released include teenagers and women.  Karzai also shortened the sentences for 143 other prisoners in Kandahar.

One reporter said Afghans are being arbitrarily arrested, in U.S. NDAA 2012 style: “Hundreds of Afghans are serving in the central jail ….without having a specific charge against them and their cases are not properly followed.”-Javid Ahmad Tanveer

The climate is so bad in Kandahar’s prisons that several prisoners escaped by digging their way out, last year.
