World War 3: Russia declares no fly zone near Japan, sends two bombers around Japan

In less than a day after Japan’s new policy chief Seiji Maehara recommended changes to Japan’s military policies, Russia has declared a no fly zone north of Japan.

The no fly zone could be part of Russia’s planned war games in the Sea of Okhotsk, northeast of Hokkaido.  Japan is asking for details from Russia.

Russian officials are confirming that two of their Tu 95 Bear bombers flew around Japan. But insisted they were over international water.  The Japanese scrambled fighter jets, the Japanese pilots confirmed the Russian bombers were over international water.

These incidents have got the fragile Japanese government on edge.  Russia and Japan are disputing claims over islands north of Hokkaido.

World War 3: Japan wants to start selling weapons to other countries, let their peacekeepers carry weapons & fight alongside U.S. troops

Currently the Japanese constitution does not allow the sale of Japanese made weapons to other countries.  It does not allow Japanese troops to be used outside Japan, although the government got around this by ordering their troops not to carry weapons on ‘peacekeeping’ missions.

Japan’s new policy chief Seiji Maehara, is recommending changing the constitution to relax criteria for weapons use by Japanese Self-Defense Forces taking part in UN peacekeeping operations.  He says Japanese troops could help the U.S. by being able to actually fight alongside U.S. forces.

Also, Maehara claims that without letting the Japanese military industry sell weapons to other countries, and take part in advanced weapons development with countries like the United States, Japan’s military defenses could become technologically outdated.

Global Economic War: Increase in Japanese Corporate Bankruptcies, they blame the falling U.S. dollar

Corporate bankruptcies in Japan have risen for the second month in a row, they blame the rising value of their yen, which is being pushed up by the falling U.S. dollar.

Credit research firm Teikoku Databank says 969 companies failed in August!

The strong yen is causing a drop in orders and exports, and causing trading losses in currency derivatives.

The research firm warns of a vicious spiral, with more companies shifting production overseas to escape the high yen, in turn cutting even more orders to Japanese firms and putting them at risk of bankruptcy.

War on Terror cover for Global Economic War: Invasion of Afghanistan IS about oil, Afghanistan has 80 million barrels of oil, now it all goes to China

State-owned China National Petroleum Corporation won the first oil and natural gas exploration contracts in Afghanistan since the U.S. led invasion in 2001.

It’s estimated that there are 1.6 billion barrels of crude oil in Afghanistan.  The oil fields of Bazarkhami, Kashkari and Zamarudsay (areas under contract with CNPC) contain an estimated 80 million barrels.

In 2007 China got the rights to mine copper in Afghanistan.  Isn’t nice that the U.S. led War on Terror is allowing other countries to get contracts to mine minerals and oil?

World War 3: More proof the U.S. & U.K. were paying Gaddafi to torture suspects in the U.S. led War on Terror

“When I was in China in 2004, the British approached me through an intermediary. They said they would allow me to return to Britain but they just wanted to speak to me at the British Consulate in Hong Kong to check my political views.  I was expecting to meet the British, but I and my whole family were arrested at the airport and ended up on an airplane taking us to Libya.”-Sami Saadi, anti-Gaddafi dissident

What’s really strange is that this man was not anti-western, he was anti-Gaddafi!!!  Yet the British rounded him and his family up, and shipped them off to be tortured by Gaddafi’s security agents.

According to documents recently found by Human Rights Watch, the U.S. CIA offered to pay for expenses relating to the detention of Sami Saadi.

Saadi ended up spending six years in prison, during that time he was interrogated by British intelligence officials.  Then he was arrested for not denouncing this years Libyan rebellion. He escaped prison after rebel forces took Tripoli.

Ironic; Saadi spent years in prison because of the United States and United Kingdom, but then is freed by rebels supported by the United States and United Kingdom!

World War 3: More lies from Libyan Rebels & the Western Media, no big pro-Gaddafi convoy went into Niger, or Burkina Faso

Over the past few days U.S. supported Libyan rebels, and the western media have reported a huge convoy of dozens of vehicles with hundreds of pro-Gaddafi forces entered Niger.  Some reports even said they had tons of gold!

The reports say the convoy drove through Niger into Burkina Faso, where Gaddafi might have been offered asylum.

The problem is that the government of Niger says only four vehicles, with 18 people, came into their country!  On top of that the government of Burkina Faso says there is no way they would offer Gaddafi asylum: “We cannot grant him asylum because for the past three years we have not had good relations with him. We don’t see why we would stick our neck out for him and create problems for ourselves.”-Alain Traore, Burkinabe government spokesman

Always the information from the Libyan rebels and the western media is so wrong!?!

As if to back up the claims by the governments of Niger and Burkina Faso, on September 7 the Libyan rebels asked Niger to block any access to pro-Gaddafi forces: “We have sent a delegation today that is going to Niger to talk … about securing our borders to stop any kind of infiltration of Gaddafi troops to Niger, to stop any attempt by Gaddafi or his family to escape to Niger.”-Fathi Baja, head of the NTC’s political affairs committee

Now why would the Libyan rebels make such a request after swearing that a huge convoy of pro-Gaddafi troops, and even Gaddafi himself, had already crossed into Niger?

World War 3: Israel builds concrete wall around their Embassy in Egypt

“It is very provoking because it only means one thing and that is the [Egyptian] government is still taking orders from Israel because building Apartheid walls like the ones in Palestine is Israel’s strategy to protect itself but the fact is walls never protect anyone as history shows.”-Dina Fergani, protestor

Israel is surrounding its large embassy compound in Egypt, with a huge concrete wall.  Egyptians are responding by protesting, and painting the wall with anti-Israeli slogans.  One protestor pointed out that the wall actual sits on public property.

The 100 meter (328 feet) long, three meter (9.8 feet) high wall is being built by an Egyptian contractor.

The Facebook page “A call for peeing on the wall before the Israeli Embassy” was created on September 6.  According to the page, the idea was inspired by Egypt’s use of water cannons to breach Israel’s Sinai fortifications during the 1973 war.

World War 3: Palestinian officials tell Hillary Clinton, go F yourself! (essentially)

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton begged Palestinian Authority President Mahmud Abbas, on September 6, to: “…work hard with us to avoid a negative scenario in New York. “

That “negative scenario” is the United Nations recognition of a Palestinian state!

Clinton then sent U.S. envoys to personally beg Abbas to stop the UN vote!

Abbas says it is now clear that the United States is not sincere in its claims of wanting peace for the Palestinians!  (about time he figured that out, Palestinian Hamas has been correct all this time)

Palestinian Liberation Organization Secretary General Yasser Abed Rabbo, said this about U.S. President Barack Obama’s policy towards Palestinians, and Arabs in general: “The subject is not settlements, or Palestinian independence or the rights of the Palestinian people, or halting the criminal violations perpetrated by the [Israeli] settlers against the Palestinian people.  All this is being ignored and the only issue has become the issue of us not going to the United Nations.  This shows not only disdain for the Palestinian position, but also scorn for what is happening in the Arab region.“

Class War: Israelis arrested protesting Israeli government, attack Tel Aviv city hall

September 8, Reuters reporting at least 40 Israelis being arrested after blocking traffic, and breaking into the Tel Aviv city hall.

This after the biggest anti-regime rallies in Israel’s short history, on Saturday.

Anti-regime protests erupted in Israel in mid-July as activists began setting up tents in Tel Aviv to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s economic and social policies.

The protestors are also opposed to Israel’s illegal settlement expansions in the occupied Palestinian territories.

World War 3: Libyan Rebels detaining, torturing Russian & East European oil workers

At the end of August U.S. supported rebels detained 19 Ukrainian cooks and oil workers, on unsupported claims that they are mercenaries for Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi.

“How can we be snipers? They are old. She is a woman. We are not snipers. As you know, life in the Ukraine is bad. We came here to earn money for our family. They [rebels] took everything from us. Money, passports, computers, everything.”-Maksim Shadrov, cook

The rebels even admitted they found no weapons on the Ukrainians.  The Associated Press is reporting the most of Gaddafi’s mercenaries have fled the country.

Around August 30, Russian journalists found five Serbs, who’d been taken prisoner by Libyan rebels.

The five Serbs say they are construction workers who came to Libya on August 12, to repair roads for a Serbian-Libyan firm, Zazura.  When the fighting reached Tripoli, U.S. supported rebels stopped them, saw their passports and accused them of “aiding Gaddafi”.

The Serbs have now been confirmed as construction workers, and the Serbian Embassy is in touch with them.

Several Russian oil engineers have also been held, and beaten, by U.S. supported rebels: “For some reason they think that Slavic people are snipers. We have nothing to do with that. We came here to earn money peacefully.”-Vladimir Dolgov, engineer

Russian media says Russia is working to get its citizens out of rebel detention, but there are several dozen Russian and Ukrainian citizens still under rebel control.
