Local media reports from West, Texas, say the explosion which totally destroyed a fertilizer factory, has set buildings on fire.  One building on fire is the West Middle School.  A nursing home and apartment complex is also damaged.  The blast was felt 24 kilometers (15 miles) away.

Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in Waco has called in all staff.  Local law enforcement are driving in casualties in their cop cars.   Triage has been set up near the site of the explosion.  Helicopters are being used for medivac.

Electrical power has been cut for at least 2000 people.  The explosion was reported at 19:50 UTC-06 Sierra.

World War 3, North American Front: Ricin man arrested? Waco, Texas, massive explosion!

20 miles north of Waco, Texas, a fertilizer factory exploded dramatically.  Pics posted to the internet show what looks like the entire factory going up in a massive cloud of grey smoke.  Reports say the explosion was so large it flattened parts of the town of West.

Local police expecting hundreds of casualties.

The explosion took place right before the anniversary of two important dates; the end of the federal instigated Waco Siege, and the vengeful Oklahoma City Bombing.

In Mississippi, a man has been arrested regarding the supposed ricin laced poison letters sent to senators and the President.   It happened after a Mississippi judge got one of the ‘poison’ letters.  It’s interesting to note that federal officials still have not confirmed that the letters contained ricin, although the main streamer media has been reporting it as if it were so.

World War 3, North American Gun Control Front: What Freakin’ 90%?!?

17 April 2013 (17:25 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

I’m assuming that the 90% that war criminal (just recently proven by bipartisan investigation, along with Bushy Boy) Obama, and the U.S. main streamer media, claim support more background checks for gun buyers, comes from the Quinnipiac University telephone poll conducted a couple of weeks back.

Fact: Only 1711 people were interviewed in that supposed ‘national’ poll.  There are more than 300 million people in the United States.  There is no way that poll was representative of ‘the American people’!

Fact: Most of the 1711 people surveyed are in the north eastern United States. Again, not representative of the whole country, and proof that is was not a ‘national’ poll!

Fact: The same poll showed a majority of those 1711 people surveyed also believed that background checks were a stepping stone to gun confiscation (as is happening in California).  Why doesn’t the main streamer media report that?

World War 3, North American Front: Israel joins Boston Bombings investigation?

Israeli media reporting that the Israeli police chief, Yohanan Danino, and his staff left for the U.S. the day after the Boston Bombings.  It’s part of a ten day visit with U.S. Homeland Security, planned weeks ago.

Israeli media reporting that Danino announced Israel is willing to help with the investigations of the Boston Bombings.

World War 3, North American Front: Boston bombings video captures possible paramilitary bombers

17 April 2013 (12:26 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Clear pics, taken from different angles, have surfaced from the Boston Marathon, showing men wearing black jackets, khaki pants and khaki shoes (paramilitary/contract cops?) and carrying large black backpacks.  One looks to have security credentials hanging from his neck.

The backpacks match the remains of a shredded backpack found at one of the explosion sites (pic of that posted by FBI).  There are also pics of several men in civilian clothes holding similar backpacks, they are all in the area of the explosions.  Another pic shows a man placing a black backpack in a the threshold of a doorway of the building in the explosion area.

Apparently the pics were posted yesterday.  The pics were taken from the second floor of the building where the first explosion took place.  They focus on the crowd below, not on the runners in the street.

There is video of a man getting up and running for his life after an explosion.  His black shirt and black pants are shredded, but he’s apparently not hurt because he immediately gets up and runs way before anyone else in the blast area has recovered their senses.

Do the internet search yourself.

World War 3, Economic Front: Credit Card companies shutting down mom & pops with outrageous fees!

17 April 2013 (10:20 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

Recently I was told by a Spanish small business owner I know, that he had to stop taking credit card payments because of a huge increases in fees being charged to small businesses.

He said the outrageous fee hikes involve VISA, MasterCard and American Express.  Turns out that MasterCard is actually being investigated for violating the European Union’s anti-trust laws.

According to EU investigators, MasterCard has jacked up fees on purchases involving cardholders living outside the EU.  Here in the U.S. credit card companies already charge cardholders extra fees for making purchases outside the United States, so it seems they’re now charging business owners in Europe extra fees for international sales as well.

MasterCard officials blamed banks for issuing cards with higher fee rates, but then said “….MasterCard always aims to balance the interests of both consumers and retailers to ensure that each party pays its fair share of the costs…”

You mean those outrageous interest rates aren’t enough to cover your costs, MasterCard?   “Fair share” my ass!

MasterCard also said the higher fees were the only way the company could remain “viable”.

VISA is also being investigated.  VISA is the biggest credit card scammer, I mean credit card service provider in the EU.  It too has created outrageous ‘cross-border’ purchaser/seller fees.

What those dumb ass highly educated credit card corporate officials don’t realize is the net effect of continuing to create new fees, and jack up existing fees and interest rates, is that it will greatly reduce credit card use, which could render them inviable.

World War 3, Economic Front: China returns to buying U.S. bonds!

17 April 2013 (09:52 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

China has increased its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds (aka U.S. government debt).  Last year at this same time China held $1.16 trillion USD of U.S. bonds, now it’s at $1.22 trillion.

According to the U.S. Treasury, the $9.16 billion increase took place in February.  Apparently China still thinks the U.S. is good for the money.

World War 3, East Asian Front: Japan & South Korea to sign military pact! North Korea tells citizens to prep for war!

17 April 2013 (01:36 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

South Korean media reporting that the Japanese ambassador announced his country is prepared to sign a military intelligence pact with Republic of Korea.  It turns out Japan and ROK was supposed to sign the military pact in July 2012!  It was put off because of protests by South Koreans. If you understand the violent recent history between Korea and Japan then you’ll understand the significance of such a pact.

ROK media also reporting that U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, told Chinese officials that the United States was willing to reduce its missile systems in the area, if the DPRK gave up nuclear weapons.

North Korea insists that its nuclear program is not negotiable.  DPRK media has published front page articles telling people to prepare for war.  Articles also point out that North Korea has every international right to its own nuclear program.  In 2003 the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea pulled out of the UN’s Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Another U.S. investigation confirms the United States is pure Evil!!! Bush, Obama & DoJ lied about no torture!

“….it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture.”–Task Force on Detainee Treatment

A bipartisan investigation by the Constitution Project proves that the Christian dominated United States is pure evil!

“U.S. forces, in many instances, used interrogation techniques on detainees that constitute torture. American personnel conducted an even larger number of interrogations that involved ‘cruel, inhuman, or degrading’ treatment. Both categories of actions violate U.S. laws and international treaties….”

Blame is placed on all leadership, right on up to the President of the United States.

“The nation’s most senior officials, through some of their actions and failures to act in the months and years after immediately following the September 11 attacks, bear ultimate responsibility for allowing and contributing to the spread of illegal and improper interrogation techniques…..”

The investigation found that, as history shows (otherwise we’d still be under the terror that was known as the Christian led Inquisition), torture does not result in viable intell!

“There is no firm or persuasive evidence that the widespread use of harsh interrogation techniques by U.S. forces produced significant information…much of the information…was not useful or reliable.”

The report also demands an end to Gitmo.

It also accuses the Attorney General, and other lawyers who give advise to the Office of the President, of deliberately lying about laws concerning torture and war!

“Lawyers in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) repeatedly gave erroneous legal sanction to certain activities that amounted to torture…..in violation of U.S. and international law…”  

The investigation also revealed that the DoJ ignored data from the Department of Defense, FBI and Department of State concerning the treatment of detainees.  The investigation confirmed that the U.S. imprisons and disappears innocent people.

“….the United States has violated its international legal obligations in its practice of forced disappearances and arbitrary detention…”

The investigation found that the U.S. knowingly sent prisoners to countries that would guarantee they would be tortured, and not only that, U.S. personnel took part in the Black Site tortures.

“….U.S. officials involved with detention in the Black Sites committed acts of torture….”

What’s even more disturbing is that the investigation revealed that people in the health care, and mental health professions, helped the military develop torture techniques.  And in direct violation of U.S. military regulations doctors and psychologists even took part in torture by monitoring the victims’ responses!

“Medical professionals….participated variously in interrogations….provided medical information on detainees to interrogators, and not reporting abuses.”

The more than 500 page report has many more claims of law breaking by the military and top government officials.  It even states that the claim of protecting National Security does not justify how badly the United States has treated people imprisoned in the name of the U.S. led War on Terror.

World War 3: Freudian flub as Obama outs self as a terrorist?

17 April 2013 (21:58 UTC-07 Tango 16 April 2013)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1434/28 Farvardin 1391/08 Bing-Chen (3rd month) 4711

“Anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it’s an act of terror.”-Barack Obama, President of the United States, 16 April 2013

According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism,  since 2009 Obama has authorized the killing of 684 innocent civilians in Pakistan, with drone (UAV) strikes.  156 were children.  And that’s not counting the U.S. drone strike launched just a few days ago.

Then there’s the hundreds killed in Somalia and Yemen by Obama authorized drone strikes.

In Afghanistan, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan says that since Obama took office in 2009, at least 1306 innocent civilians have been killed directly by U.S. led NATO/ISAF operations.  And that’s not counting the U.S. airstrike made on 06 April 2013.

According to Iraq Body Count, Obama has reigned over the deaths of 17563 innocent civilians! And that’s not counting the nearly 100 killed on the same day as the Boston Bombings.  In 2012, articles in the New York Times and Washington Post revealed that Obama was replacing the withdrawn U.S. forces with CIA, SOF and mercenaries (contractors).

Don’t forget to count the civilian deaths in Libya, Palestine (through overt support of Israel), and the ongoing U.S. supported insurgency in Syria.

Then there’s the sudden U.S. support (begun by Bushy Boy Junior) for a government previously considered terrorist; Myanmar (aka Burma in British media).  Ever since the Obama administration began supporting this regime, hundreds of Muslims have been slaughtered, as well as more than 100000 made homeless and being chased out of the country.  The UN declared the Sunni/Sufi Muslim Rohingyas the most persecuted people in the world!  They are being killed, and their homes destroyed or stolen by U.S. supported Buddhists.  That U.S. supported poster girl of human rights, Aung San Suu Kyi, has actually made statements to the media that shows she doesn’t care what happens to the Muslims.

Who’s the real terrorist?
