Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

World War 3: Kurdish rebels in Iran admit they are being armed by the United States

In an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation’s Iranian channel, BBC Persian, Abdul Rahman Haji Ahmadi admitted they are conducting military action against Iran with the help of the United States.

Abdul Rahman Haji Ahmadi is the boss of the Party for a Free Life in Kurdistan (PJAK) terrorist group.

He said the PJAK had built tunnels into Iran from Iraq.  They also received new weapons and equipment, including 120mm mortars, from the U.S. consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil.

Currently Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) is in battle with the PJAK.  This follows attempts by Iraq’s Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to mediate between the Iranian Kurdish rebels (PJAK) and Iranian government.  The mediation failed after PJAK forces killed two Kurds: “But the PJAK terrorist group paid no heed to the KRG’s appeals and mediation (and) martyred two local Kurdish forces… and this proved to the KRG that the terrorists had ignored its requests.”-Hamid Ahmadi, IRGC Colonel

Proof the U.S. backed democratic rebellion in Libya is a Lie: Human Rights Watch finds document after document showing U.S. support of Gaddafi right to the end, proof that rebels are connected to Al Qaeda! Proof that the U.S. is in bed with Al Qaeda?

Human Rights Watch has come across nearly 300 pages of documents, found in the offices of Libya’s external security services, along with ten of thousand of documents found in the abandoned British Embassy in Tripoli.  The documents show how the United States and the United kingdom supported Gaddafi right up until sanctions were imposed.

Those documents also show that Gaddafi tortured terror suspects sent to him by the U.S. and U.K.  One of those tortured on the request of the U.S. and Britain is now a rebel leader!

Abdel Hakim Belhadj (also known as Abdullah al-Sadiq), the military commander who led the revolutionary forces into the Libyan capital Tripoli, is now demanding an apology from the U.S. and British governments over that torture.

In 2004, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) detained Abdel Hakim Belhadj in Malaysia, over suspicions of having links to Al-Qaeda.  He applied for asylum to the British government, but instead the British renditioned him to Libya, where he was tortured in the name of the U.S. led War on Terror.

Now Abdel Hakim Belhadj is a major rebel leader in Libya, do you really think he and his followers are going to do what the U.S. wants?  This is potentially a case of “blowback” in the making.

The documents also show that French and U.K. intelligence agents, and even Scotland Yard, worked to protect Gaddafi’s sons from assassination.  Here’s an interesting coincidence; the assassin was from Qatar. Qatar is now the biggest Arab supporter of the current rebel TNC!

One should wonder why NATO allies worked hard to protect Gaddafi’s son Saif from assassination, as recently as 2004, and now they’re trying to blow him up!  Is this action against the Gaddafi family really some kind of effort to cover up war crimes committed by Gaddafi, at the behest of the U.S., and allies, in the War on Terror?

Other documents show that Gaddafi is probably hiding by using military technology he recently got from the British!  In 2007 Britain supplied Libya with the most up-to-date command and control systems made by General Dynamics UK, which is similar to Bowman Systems used by the British Army.  One of the features is that it allows you to communicate electronically without being tracked.

Other documents show Libyan militant groups are connected to Al-Qaeda.  One group known as LIFG (Libyan Islamic Fighting Group), was directly linked to Al-Qaeda. The former LIFG leader, Abdel Hakim Belhaj, is now current leader of the rebel Tripoli Military Council!  Is this proof that the U.S. and U.K. are in bed with Al-Qeada?

With thousands more documents still to be analyzed, the true extent of the relationship between the United States, Britain, Al-Qaeda and Libya has yet to be revealed!

Proof the Libyan Rebels are a Lie: Thousands of Libyans continue to flood into Tunisia

Despite the rebels controlling most of Libya, the number of refugees fleeing into Tunis has increased!

Tunisian media reports that prior to the rebel take over of Libya there were about 7,000 Libyans fleeing into Tunis every day.  Now that number has jumped to 9,000 per day!!!  And just at the Tunisian-Libyan border post of Ras El Jedir!

If the Libyan rebels are all about democracy and freedom, and representing the majority of Libyan people, why are there more Libyans fleeing now, than before the rebels took control?

World War 3: Japan pushing for relocation of U.S. Marines, still need U.S. help in defense against China

The new Defense Minister Yasuo Ichikawa, and the new Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba, both say they will push for the agreed to moving of USMC units from one part of Okinawa to a new location, also on Okinawa.

People living on Okinawa would like to see the USMC gone altogether, but Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba stressed the importance of the U.S. forces in Japan’s defense plans against China.

U.S. forces are part of a multilayered mechanism to avoid misunderstandings in case of ‘accidental occurrences’ between Japan and China.

World War 3: Japan to prepare to take disputed territories, to expand Japan’s security and economy

The new Prime Minister of Japan, Yoshihiko Noda, is about to publish his national security policy in a Japanese magazine.  Reportedly this will include plans to control territories that many Japanese believe inherently belong to Japan.

For several months now, Japan and China have had run ins involving disputes over territorial water, and islands.  This includes harassment of fishing boats by both the Japanese and Chinese navies.

There are also incidents concerning islands in the South China Sea, in which China, Japan, Philippines and Vietnam all lay claim to.  The South China Sea has potentially the largest oil reserves in the world (it’s the real reason the U.S. was at war in Vietnam).

Other issues involve the control of islands north of Hokkaido, which were lost to the Soviet Union after the Second World War.  Japan wants them back and Russia says no way.

Prime Minister Noda is basing his plan on the vision of former Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, who wanted to create a Japan led East Asia community in 2009.  The aim of the idea is to create stable economic and security systems across the region.  If anyone knows history, this sounds just like the reasoning of Imperial Japan, the same reasoning that led to Japan attacking the U.S. Navy at Pearl Harbor in 1941, thus creating the Second World War.

Typhoon Talas: Still dumping record rain as Tropical Storm Talas, 5.9 feet in one area, at least 54 land slides

Typhoon Talas, now Tropical Storm Talas, continues to slam Japan.  On the Kii Peninsula, in west central Japan, rainfall has topped a record-breaking 1,800 millimeters (5.9 feet) in one village.

Even though the storm is over the Sea of Japan it continues to pummel land with rain as it moves north. Talas is expected to dump up to 40 millimeters (1.5 inches) of rain per hour in the Kanto and Tohoku regions, in eastern to northeastern Honshu.

Hokkaido, the island north of Honshu, heavy rain of up to 60 millimeters (2.4 inches) per hour could fall through Tuesday.  To make matters worse, another storm is approaching Japan.

All the rain has caused at least 54 landslides. In Nara Prefecture, mid-western Japan, an overflowing river has reportedly been dammed up with mud and rocks at five locations in Tenkawa Village and Gojo City.  This could cause a massive flood once the nature made dams break lose.  Emergency officials are scrambling to figure out what to do.

Corporate Incompetence: TEPCo to build giant 2,625 feet long Iron Wall around Fukushima Daiichi?

05 September 2011, Tokyo Electric Power Company says it is growing concerned (finally) about the amount of radioactive water still building up in the basements of the reactor buildings.

TEPCo officials say even if they keep it from running off into the Pacific Ocean, it will eventually soak into the groundwater, which eventually runs into the Pacific Ocean.

To try and stop anymore contamination from hitting the ocean, TEPCo proposes to build a 800 meter (2,625 feet) long wall!  The wall will be made of huge iron pipes.

Each pipe, 22-meters (72 feet) long and 10 centimeters (4 inches) wide, will be installed deep below the sea bed to stop the flow of groundwater.

TEPCo says they will also attempt to use pumps to pump out contaminated water.  They hope to start building the wall by the end of the year, and think it will take two years to complete.

Typhoon Talas: Japan still flooding, Death toll rises, Sacred Sites destroyed

Japanese media reporting that many areas of Japan, that were hit by typhoon Talas on Friday and Saturday, are still flooding.

The damage is the worst since typhoon Tokage hit in 2004.

At least 34 people were killed, and at least 55 are missing.   In Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, rescuers found the body of Saki Teramoto, the daughter of Mayor Shinichi Teramoto. Saki was engaged to be married.  Mayor Teramoto’s wife, Masako, is still missing.

Bridges, roads and even World Heritage Scared Sites have been destroyed.

Talas is a word from the Philippines meaning “sharpness.”

Government & Corporate Incompetence: NRC says U.S. Nuclear plants are not earthquake safe

According to the Associated press,  a preliminary Nuclear Regulatory Commission review says that most U.S. nuclear reactors are not as earthquake safe as first thought.

The NRC review was actually started before the recent east coast quake, and the March 11 quake in Japan.

Earthquake safety standards for nuclear reactors were set more than 20 years ago.  Since then much more has been learned about earthquakes.

The review showed that some reactors are actually 24 times more likely to suffer a severe accident, than originally thought.  That’s because 20 years ago most planners didn’t think there could be such big earthquakes as the one in Japan on March 11.

At least 27 reactors are being recommended for earthquake safety upgrades.

Think the people of the United States lead the world in hatred of Immigrants? Nope, try moving to tiny Belgium!

In a survey done by Ipsos Mora y Araujo, citizens of 24 countries were asked how they viewed immigrants.  The United States did not lead the way with immigrant haters, still more than half of U.S. citizens hate immigrants.

The Ipsos survey asked various questions regarding immigrants, but basically most European and American residents don’t like immigrants, which is ironic considering that most European and American countries are made up of immigrants.

The country that leads the way in hatred of immigrants is Belgium, with 72% of respondents saying immigrants are bad for their country.  Argentina, United Kingdom and United States are on the same wavelength, with about 61% of their citizens hating immigrants.

50% of Australians and 41% of Canadians say immigrants make it harder to find a job.  One Canadian respondent explained their view of immigration as ‘yes, you can move here, but just not where I live’.

So where to move, now that it’s becoming clear that the United States isn’t a place where you can achieve your dreams?

47% of Brazilians say immigrants are good for their economy, and 49% say immigrants make Brazil an interesting place to live.  Could explain Brazil’s exploding population numbers.  Brazil now has the 5th largest population in the world.  Officially 192 million people live in Brazil, that’s almost equal to all the other South American country’s populations combined!
