World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Another $20 million lost by Coldwater Creek! Blames it on climate change and shuttered stores!

29 June 2013 (21:41 UTC-07 Tango 28 June 2013)/20 Sha’ban 1434/08 Tir 1391/22 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The Idaho based women’s clothing retailer, Coldwater Creek, just keeps bleeding out cash!  For its most recent quarter, which ended in May, Coldwater Creek lost $19.4 million USD.

Executives headquartered in Sandpoint blamed it on climate change and the fact that they’ve closed so many stores: “Our first quarter results were impacted by unseasonable weather throughout the quarter….”-Jill Dean, CEO

Coldwater Creek closed two retail stores in the last quarter, along with one factory store.  Company officials don’t expect any good news when this current quarter ends, either.  Amazingly, Coldwater Creek (CWTR) stocks are selling for about $2.50 per share, despite being downgraded to neutral by investment bank B. Riley!

To try and become more efficient, Coldwater Creek just spent money on a Oracle Retail Merchandise Planning and Optimization program: “Ultimately, this should lead to further reductions in aged inventory and allow us to increase our full price selling, making us more productive and profitable.”-Jim Bell, CFO/COO

They say the program will let them better forecast what women want to buy (by spying on customers’ shopping habits).

Internet Martial Law: United States expanding cyber attack operations, will include old school military strikes! UnAmerican Corporate America demands it!

28 June 2013 (12:54 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

U.S. Army General Martin Dempsey told the Washington DC think tank, Brookings Institution, that the Army will spend $23 billion U.S. tax dollars training 4000 new cyber attack personnel over the next four years.

The new U.S. cyber attack program will also “….secure 4G wireless network that will get iPads, iPhones and Android devices online by mid-2014.”

Dempsey claims that future cyber attacks against the U.S. “…could be as destructive as the terrorist attack of 9/11.”  In that case the U.S. will respond not just with cyber units but with old school military attacks.

Dempsey claims that cyber attacks against the U.S. have increased by 17 fold in the past two years.  He also says at least 20 countries have cyber attack units.

Dempsey partly blames the taxpayer funded build up of U.S. cyber attack units  on U.S. businesses who have not protected themselves “….adequately in cybersecurity.” 

A recent survey by Cyber-Ark Software polled 900 corporate executives about cyber security.  51% believed they were under cyber attack right now, 80% say cyber attacks are more damaging than an old school military attack!

“….DDoS [distributed denial of service] attacks have increased 600% over the last year!”-James Barnett, Venable law firm

Basically, unAmerican Corporate America is forcing the individual taxpayers to pay for a massive corporate cyber defense system run by the U.S. Army’s Cyber Command!

Martial Law Canada: Cops loot homes of flood victims, takes all their guns!

28 June 2013 (11:08 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“We have seized a large quantity of firearms simply because they were left by residents……We just want to make sure that all of those things are in a spot that we control, simply because of what they are….”-Brian Topham, RCMP

“When people find out about this there’s going to be untold hell to pay!”-Brenda Lackey, High River resident

“This is the reason the U.S. has the right to bear arms!”-Charles Timpano, High River resident

Royal Canadian Mounted Police evacuated the town of High River, during recent floods, then they looted the homes for all personally owned guns!  The Mounties are keeping 13000 residents away from their homes despite the fact that flood water has dissipated (going on eight days now).

The Canadian cops said the residents can have their guns back when they prove they own the gun!  The crony cops also admitted they “forcibly” entered many homes to get the guns, which is a violation of Canadian Private Property rights!

Internet Martial Law: U.S. Army censors news sources!

28 June 2013 (09:52 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM, part of Cyber Command) admits that it censors print news sources before soldiers are allowed to read it.  They call it “network hygiene”.

NETCOM officials say they don’t target specific internet newspapers, but use a program that “relies on automated filters”.   For example, articles about the ongoing NSA scandal are blocked out.

Internet Martial Law: U.S. schools publishing children’s personal school data in the Cloud!

28 June 2013 (09:35 UTC-07 Tango)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“This information…I have no idea what it is, I have no idea who’s using it, I have no idea for what purpose!”-Karen Sprowal, concerned parent in New York city.

Some school districts across the United States are using computer programs that allows them to collate and make available on the internet all your child’s personal data.

Orwellian education officials say it’s all about “personalizing” your child’s learning.  However, the info being made available online is not just grades and the type of classes, but your financial info and child’s medical records, as well as any behavior issues.

Previous news media reports said schools would not share your kid’s data with third parties, but that has been proven false.  There is no law that prevents school districts from giving (selling?) third parties the personal data of students, and many do so.

World War 3, West Asian Front-Syria: UN demands combat cease on Golan Heights, Israel says it’s ready to invade!

28 June 2013 (23:55 UTC-07 Tango 27 June 2013)/19 Sha’ban 1434/07 Tir 1391/21 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“What has changed here is that today we are carrying out an exercise in the Golan Heights which is not theoretical. The reality around us is changing and is volatile, and we must be ready accordingly.  I want the other side to know that when needed, we can move to any side, and I do not care that the other side hears this! I hope that we are not tested and that we meet any challenge.”-Binyamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel

The United Nations has renewed Disengagement Observer Force (DOF) operations in the Golan Heights.   The UN is also demanding that all combat taking place in the Golan cease.  Japan, Croatia and Austria have already withdrawn their UNDOF troops.  That leaves UNDOF troops from Fiji, India and Philippines.

Israeli Minister of Defense, Moshe Ya’alon, made this statement about current war games conducted by the Israeli Defense Force Golani Brigade: “Golani, as other fighting units in the IDF, may find itself called to a campaign in a short period of time. Therefore, this exercise, as with others taking place these days, has special significance, in this time and in this sector.”

Ya’alon also referenced Gaza Strip, which is nowhere near Golan Heights!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan: More proof the U.S. ain’t leavin’! More proof U.S. & U.K. behind illegal drugs, Iran says ‘I told you so!’ More proof of U.S. corruption!

27 June 2013/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

In Helmand Province, Musa Kala District, a Mujahid sniper claims he killed a NATO/ISAF troop.  In Nad Ali District, reports that a NATO/ISAF tank was blown up by a landmine.  Two crew killed, two wounded.  Mujahideen say they ambushed a dismounted patrol in the same district.

Members of the Islamic Movement of Afghanistan Party are condemning plans by the United States to establish permanent military bases after the 2014 ‘pullout’.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, the U.K.’s Guardian news source reports a booming housing market.  One driver is that apparently rents have dropped, however, the article points out that the money supporting such a “…lavish lifestyle has been funded by an influx of foreign money and the proceeds from drugs, which have enriched a tiny elite while most of the country still grapples with desperate poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy and some of the lowest-life-expectancy in the world.”

The Guardian also reported that many property developers in Kabul do not believe the U.S./NATO is leaving in 2014: “Everyone says the Americans are leaving but they are not. They have invested too much in Afghanistan. The current problems are just politics by the U.S. to help them negotiate their strategic pact.”-Hasan Ali Sakhizada, wealthy property developer

Red Coat Simon Cowl is jumping on the corruption bandwagon and taking his …Got Talent TV show to Afghanistan.

The U.S. Department of Defense stated they want to continue funding contracted propaganda mills in Afghanistan.   This despite a recent Government Accountability Office report that says such funding of propaganda is just throwing taxpayer money down the toilet!  The top private producer of propaganda in Afghanistan is the Leonie Group.  Last year the corrupt co-owner, Camille Chidiac, was suspended for using taxpayer money to launch an anti-news media propaganda campaign directed at USA Today!

It’s been revealed that $70 million U.S. tax dollars meant for agricultural development in Afghanistan has disappeared!  Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) blamed the problems on USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)!  SIGAR also said that farm equipment, like irrigation pumps and solar panels, ended up being used in the homes of elites!  (World War 3, False Flag Front: USAID a covert terrorist organization?)

A little history lesson: What was former Prime Minister of U.K. Harold Macmillan’s first rule of politics? Answer: “Don’t invade Afghanistan!”

In Paktia Province, Zormat district, Mujahideen report they ambushed a supply convoy.  They claim five trucks destroyed, one escorting military vehicle destroyed, and at least three people killed or wounded.

In Baghlan Province, Baghlan-e-Markazi District, Mujahideen captured a Afghan National Army (ANA) base.  The ANA then sent troops to take back the base, but after five hours of battle the ANA lost.  Mujahideen say they killed 13 ANA troops and wounded nine others.  They destroyed four vehicles and captured a large amount of weapons and ammo.  Two Mujahideen killed, two wounded.

The country of Georgia is now the top non-NATO country occupying Afghanistan, according to NATO.

USMC General James F. Amos says what military equipment the Marines can’t send back to the U.S. will be given away to other countries, or that “Anything that gets left in that country that has ‘USMC’ on the side will be purposefully left by General Dunford, or General Austin.”

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports that the U.S. controlled Afghanistan has broken another record year in illegal drug production.  In 2012 Afghanistan supplied 74% of the World’s illegal drugs!  Way to go U.S.A.!

In Iran, the National Security Commission accused the United Kingdom, as well as the United States, of being behind the explosive illegal drugs trade in Afghanistan.  Since the 2001 invasion, hundreds of Iranian border guards have been killed by drug traffickers out of Afghanistan.  Iran has spent at least $50 million fighting drug trafficking from Afghanistan in the past eight years.  Also, 100 metric tons of illegal drugs from Afghanistan were burned in public displays throughout Iran.  Officials condemned recent accusations from U.K. officials, that Iran is the one trafficking drugs to Europe, saying the U.K and U.S. are not doing anything to stop drug trafficking from Afghanistan: “Iran is at the front line of fighting narcotics, but countries involved not only don’t provide assistance to us, they refuse to provide the basic equipment such as sniffer dogs and electronic equipment!”-General Ahmad Reza Radan, Commander of Iranian Police Forces

In Kabul Province, Bagrami District, the U.S. SIGAR says two schools built by U.S. funded contractors are so unsafe they threaten the lives of the students: “Specifically the school’s interior and exterior walls appear to be insufficiently constructed to hold the weight of the concrete ceiling.”-John Sopko, SIGAR

Iranian Deputy Energy Minister, Alireza Daemi, announced Iran will build a water treatment plant in Kabul city.  Unlike the U.S. which throws taxpayer money at contractors with any oversight, Iran strictly controls their projects in Afghanistan, which include roads and power lines.

In United States, a federal appeals court has rejected the appeal of a U.S. contractor convicted of trying to smuggle $150000 out of Afghanistan.  He tried to ship the taxpayer cash from Bagram airbase to Kansas, in a DHL box.

In Germany, the U.S. Army’s 2nd Cavalry (Cav-all-ry, not Calvary. Calvary is the hill Jesus was crucified on) Regiment held a deployment ceremony.  The regiment’s 2000 soldiers have been ordered back to Afghanistan!  They will be based in Kandahar Province.

In Ghazni Province, reports that four Polish-NATO troops killed, two wounded, apparently after their armored vehicle hit a landmine.

In Logar Province, Poli Alam city, a car bomb rammed a regional police headquarters, as many as 25 people killed, including top police commanders.

In Kabul Province, Kabul city, eight suicide bombers/attackers killed themselves and several government security guards when they attacked the Presidential Palace.  Mujahideen said the target was the CIA office inside the compound, along with two U.S. Generals.

In Kandahar Province, Arghandab District, a bus ran over a landmine killing nine people and wounding three others.

In Uruzgan Province, Deh Rawud District, six Afghan National Police were killed when they drove over a landmine.   They were on their way home from operations against Mujahideen.

The U.S. Army admitted the Mujahideen were right when they said they killed U.S. soldiers on 23 June: In Paktika Province, Sar Rowzah District, the U.S. Army says a Specialist who’s home state was California, was killed by explosion.  In Paktia Province, Zormat District, the U.S. Army admitted a Sergeant who’s home state was Maine was killed by explosion.

World War 3: Pope angers the power elites! Will he survive to the end of the year?

27 June 2013 (21:55 UTC-07 Tango 26 June 2013)/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

Pope Francis recently upset religious ideologues saying: “The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone. ‘Father, the atheists?’ Even the atheists. Everyone!“

It seems Pope Francis is setting the stage to fulfill Nostradamus’ prophesies (a short seven month career, victory of the East over the West, and civil war among Christians).

Pope Francis just issued the order that a “Christian cannot be anti-Semitic!”

Pope Francis stated at a recent mass that being Christian was a matter of destiny, not choice: “…none of us is Christian by pure chance. No one.”

Pope Francis upset the entrenched elitists within the Catholic church saying: “We are all equal in the eyes of God. But, one of you might say, ‘Mr Pope, sir, you are not equal to us.’ But I am just like each of you. We are all equal. We are all brothers and sisters. No one is anonymous: all form and build the Church.”

Pope Francis said investigations and reforms concerning the Legion of Christ group will continue into next year.  It turned out that the now dead founder of the order was a pedophile (including with his own out of wedlock children).  Former members of the order have warned that the reforms will probably be cosmetic at best because “They misled the church before, and that same duplicity is so deeply embedded in the congregation that they can proceed in no other way.”-Genevieve Kinecke, former Regnum Christi member

Pope Francis has just created a commission of investigation to reveal what is really going on in the secretive Institute for Religious Works (aka IOR, or Vatican Bank)!  Italian officials have accused the Vatican Bank of money laundering and other crimes.  The investigators include four Vatican officials and a former U.S. ambassador.

Just days prior, Pope Francis refused to show up at a traditional Beethoven concert.   A day before he chastised bishops for having “the mentality of a prince”.

Pope Francis upset Globalist elites saying “The riches and cares of the world choke the Word of God and do not allow it to grow. And the Word dies, because it is not cared for: it is choked. In that case you serve riches or you serve cares, but you don’t serve the Word of God.”

The anti-homosexual marriage Archbishop of Canterbury met with Pope Francis, and reported that the Pope and he agreed to “…the stability of families founded on marriage.”  Archbishop Justin Welby recently told the U.K. House of Lords that officially the Anglican Communion was opposed to legalized homosexual marriage.

From Malta, a news media commentator wrote about his first, and probably only visit to Vatican: “….the enormous esplanade of Piazza San Pietro, with its beggars and street vendors, its priests and pigeons and, above all, its gaggles upon gaggles of American tourists (honestly, you’d think the entire population of the USA had simply emptied itself out onto Viale del Conciliazione)……..it is almost like a house of cards: so much has since been built on these same millennial foundations that there is now a genuine fear – almost visible in the faces of the palace staff – that one false move by the already ‘controversial’ Pope Francis I could quite literally bring the entire edifice crumbling down about their ears………It is as though Pope Francis is actually overseeing the gradual winding-down of a millennial institution that can simply no longer keep up the pretence of timelessness: trying to drag the entire shebang kicking and screaming into the 21st century, even if he secretly knows (as do his cardinals and as did his immediate predecessor) that not much of the Catholic Church in its present form can actually survive the transition.”-Raphael Vassallo

Reuters said the most visible thing about the five months of Pope Francis’ reign “…is an empty chair. The chair — a large white throne….”

Pope Francis upset crony capitalist elitists by telling the UN Food and Agriculture Organization “This is truly scandalous. A way has to be found to enable everyone to benefit from the fruits of the earth, and not simply to close the gap between the affluent and those who must be satisfied with the crumbs falling from the table!”

Speaking to 108 papal representatives, Pope Francis warned that future bishops must be “…pastors who are close to their people, fathers and brothers, who are meek, patient and merciful…” and to “Beware of those who are ambitious, who seek the episcopacy.”

It was reported that Pope Francis told the Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious Men and Women “But there also is a stream of corruption, there is that as well, it is true…The ‘gay lobby’ is mentioned, and it is true, it is there…We need to see what we can do.”  No nun or priest at the meeting is willing to elaborate to news media what he was talking about.

Pope Francis upset his security guards when he spontaneously allowed a 17 years old boy with Downs Syndrome to ride the Popemobile.

In a nod to Saint Malachy of Ireland’s warning about Peter the Roman, Pope Francis thanked the Roman group Association of Saints Peter and Paul for their “behind the scenes” work at the Vatican.

The United Kingdom rejected the idea of allowing Pope Francis to mediate the Malvinas/Falklands dispute with Argentina: “I think the last thing we need is religion…”-Mike Summers, Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly

Pope Francis ordered Jesuit journalists to “…be uncompromising against the hypocrisies which result from the closed, the sick heart. Be uncompromising against this spiritual illness…..Your task is to gather and express the expectations, the desires, the joys and the dramas of our time….God is at work in the life of every person and in every culture, the Spirit blows where He wills. Try to find out what God has done, and how He will continue his work.”

There are now reports that Pope Francis might cancel his trip to Brazil, due to the current civil uprising.  He is planning on showing up for World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, towards the end of July.  Brazil is a country with many rivers, with Rio being a major drainage point for many rivers.  Nostradamus warned “Roman Pontiff beware of approaching The city that two rivers flow through…”

World War 3, Asia-Pacific Front: U.S. Army cuts will not apply to units poised for war with China!

27 June 2013 (20:09 UTC-07 Tango 26 June 2013)/18 Sha’ban 1434/06 Tir 1391/20 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

The U.S. Army is reducing its size over the next four years.  However, U.S. Army units operating in the Asia-Pacific Theater of War (APTW) will not be affected.  It seems U.S. DoD officials have other plans for those Army personnel.

Only two U.S. Army Brigades in the European Theater of War will be cut.   Brigades in the U.S. states of Washington, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, North Carolina, New York, Kentucky and Georgia will be de-activated.

U.S. Army officials say the reductions are the result of the Budget Control Act of 2011.  APTW Brigades will be enhanced with equipment and personnel from those Brigades that are de-activated.
