World War 3: Non-NATO countries attend NATO anti-Russia Meeting! NATO to spread war to Caucasus?

If the United States is the leader of NATO, then why does NATO use British/King’s English grammar/spelling, and not U.S. English?  Even the British Council specializes in teaching the difference between Yankee English and King’s English.

On 14FEB2023, NATO began a huge anti-Russia meeting, called the Meeting of the Defence (King’s English spelling used by NATO) Ministers.  The meeting took place at NATO’s massive headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.

The first day of the meeting was actually about the U.S. led 9th Ukraine Defense Contact Group (notice the U.S. spelling of defense). U.S. Department of Defense photo by Chad J. McNeeley, 14FEB2023.

The European Union (EU) is not officially a country, it is considered a supranational political and economic union.  Many of its member countries are also members of NATO, but not all the EU countries are NATO members.  14FEB2023 statements of EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy representative Josep Borrell; the NATO meeting is about Ukraine and Russia, and reveals EU & NATO are willing to spread the war to non-NATO countries Georgia and Moldova:

Ukraine is not a full member of NATO, yet Ukraine’s Defense (U.S. spelling not used by NATO) Minister Oleksii Reznikov is taking part. Towards the end of the video he hints at getting fighter jets from NATO taxpayers, by showing the reporters a handkerchief with the image of a Russian Sukhoi 27 on it:

Sweden is not a full member of NATO, here the Defence Minister of Sweden Pål Jonson answers a question about becoming a member of NATO, on the second day of the meeting, 15FEB2023:

Finland is not a full member of NATO, here is a statement by the Defense Minister of Finland Mikko Savola, second day of meeting, 15FEB2023. Notice that he mentions ‘conscription’, many NATO members force their citizens into the military. In the U.S. this is known as ‘The Draft’, or ‘Being Drafted’, and such practice was ended in 1973, however, adult males are still required to register with what is called the Selective Service:

Opening statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, on second day-15FEB2023, reveals NATO is at war with Russia, NATO is planning for the war to last “for the next few years”, will increase spending on NATO’s military industrial complex, will increase the acquisition of “resources”:

On 16MAR2022, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin the Third and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg meet (again) at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss their plans against Russia.  The day’s meeting also included the defense ministers of non-NATO countries of Finland, Georgia, Sweden and Ukraine.  It also included reps from the European Union, which just happens to also be based in Brussels, Belgium.  There are reports that Sweden and Finland might join NATO.

Also on 16MAR2022, NATO U.S. President Joe Biden’s promise of ‘unprecedented’ deliveries of antiaircraft systems to Ukraine actually involves U.S. taxpayers buying NATO Slovakia’s Russian made (ironic) S-300 system (NATO reporting name SA-10 Grumble), and giving it to Ukraine!

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin the Third just met with Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger, 17MAR2022, concerning the Biden plan to spend U.S. taxes on buying NATO Slovakia’s Russian made S-300 antiaircraft missile system, and then give it to Ukraine! Slovakian officials say they will agree to the deal if only NATO replaces the S-300 antiaircraft system with a new antiaircraft system.

17MAR2022, NATO Croat MiG-21s are now flying ‘air policing’ operations alongside U.S. Air Force F-16s out of NATO Italy.

On 17MAR2022, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a live video speech to the German Bundestag, in which he essentially says he now realizes Ukraine was just a pawn, that the reason why the West/NATO dragged their feet on helping Ukraine was that there is a conspiracy between Russia and NATO to bring back the Cold War era Iron Curtain.  He specifically used the word “wall” and said the true goal is to create a new “divided Europe”:

World War 3 Afghanistan, 17 – 21 December 2014: CIA admits drone strikes don’t work! Proof it’s a Christian Crusade! Police ordered to attack Pakistan! Increasing number of female Kamikaze bombers! UN declares 2014 “bloodiest year ever” for civilians! U.S. 99% taxpayers create new 1% elites in Afghanistan!

Badakhshan Province: Police have arrested two Mujahideen whom they say cannot recite the Kalimas.  I checked on this Kalima thing and discovered it’s specific to Pakistani Islam, but even the majority of Pakistanis cannot recite all of the ‘Kalimas’.  So what is the point the police are trying to make?

Baghlan Province: In Baghlan City, two explosions targeted the local NDS office, but police say nobody was hurt.

Balkh Province: NATO ‘partner’ Georgia is sending 170 troops, to serve under German command out of Mazar-e-Sharif.

Farah Province: In Bala Balook District, police claim to have killed three Mujahideen.

Faryab Province: It’s been revealed that all the financial efforts of the taxpayers of Finland were wasted! In 2007 Finnish troops left the area, after spending millions building 10 ‘western’ style police stations and a few ‘western’ style schools.  A Finnish (former ISAF) commander (Colonel Ali Mättölä) told Finnish news sources that Mujahideen have either taken control of those buildings, or destroyed them.  He also says Mujahideen effectively control Faryab Province.

Helmand Province: In Lashkar Gah City, a bank was attacked leaving seven people (including Afghan National Army [ANA] personnel) dead and as many wounded.  Police say all the attackers were killed.

Herat Province: In Shindand District, police claim five people blew themselves up while planting a landmine.

Jawzjan Province: In Qawsh Tapa District, seven cops were killed defending their FOB (Forward Operating Base).  Police claim that five Mujahideen were killed as well.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, Mujahideen claim they’ve killed six NATO personnel, they assume they are Norwegian troops, along with 10 ANA troops.  The Ministry of Defense is reporting battles raging across the country over the past five days, with hundreds of people killed.  The ministry mentioned Helmand, Paktiya, Khost, Uruzgan, Balkh, Jowzjan, Sar-e-Pul and Kunar provinces as being the hot spots. The National Directorate of Security (NDS) says there are at least 107 terrorism ‘hubs’ in Afghanistan, mainly within the province of Kabul.  The NDS admits that security operations have been infiltrated.  Regarding the city of Kabul, the NDS admitted there are only enough security personnel to monitor four access points at any one time, and the city has 26 access points.  Of course NDS administrators are using these claims to justify asking for more money.  As the NDS was asking for more money a Kamikaze car bomber blew up a group of Kabul City police after they tried to stop him from ramming a convoy of ANA-NATO troops.  One cop killed at least three wounded.  The European Union has extended its police ops in Afghanistan until the end of 2016.   EU members will be shelling out an additional 58-million Euros ($90-million USD) in taxes to pay for the European Union Police Mission in Afghanistan.

Kandahar Province: The provincial police chief has given the green light to local police to conduct cross border ops into Pakistan!  He claims it’s the only way they can stop attacks against his province from Pakistan.

Kapisa Provence: A motorcycle bomb targeted the provincial police HQ, the explosion wounding three cops and two civilians.

Kunar Province: In Dangam (aka Dankam) District, battles continue resulting in at least 62 people killed.  A local governor claims they’ve taken territory from the Mujahideen, however, Mujahideen claim they’ve captured nine FOBs.  Police report that a family of seven were killed when they drove over a landmine.

Laghman Province: In Dawlat Shah District, reports of artillery rockets hitting a house, killing a girl and wounding six other family members.

Nangarhar Province: In Jalalabad City, two explosions killed two cops and wounded five.  One bomb was place on a police vehicle, the other bomb was placed on the vehicle belonging to the local administrator in charge of passports.  Days later a ANA vehicle got stuck with a magnetic mine, the explosion killed at least one soldier, Mujahideen claim it was a top U.S. trained ANA special forces officer and that his three bodyguards were also killed.  In the Quram area of Shirzad District, a U.S.-NATO-Afghan drone strike killed at least 11 people in a truck.  In Achin District, battles resulted in at least six people being killed, 11 wounded.  It was a combined op of ANA, Afghan National Police and NDS against Mujahideen.

Sar-e-Pul Province: Police report they’ve arrested ten women who were building bombs for a Kamikaze attack.  The cops claim the women turned out to be “experts” and were trained in Pakistan.  Through interrogations of the women the police now believe there is a huge network of female Mujahideen.

Zabul Province: Mujahideen now claim Shahjoi District to be liberated from U.S. led occupation.

A Pakistani provincial governor is demanding that all Afghan refugees living in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province should be expelled back to Afghanistan by the end of January. He, and even Pakistan’s spy agency, believe the attack on the Pakistani army run school (that left at least 141 dead) was planned by Afghans.

The European country of Romania has promised to send an additional 450 military personnel to Afghanistan, to help support the continued U.S. led occupation.  This is on top of the 200 troops already scheduled to go.

A Reuters report says the overwhelming majority of the $108-Billion U.S. tax dollars (and counting) that was spent in Afghanistan went to “security building”.   Reuters says $61.54-billion went (supposedly) to fighting the ‘Taliban/Al Qaeda’ and building up a ‘western’ style Afghan military.

A Bloomberg report shows exactly where your hard paid taxes go to: The top ten Afghans!

Some excerpts from the report: “In the five years that Mullah Omar and his Taliban regime dominated Afghanistan, ‘foreign currency was rare. There probably wasn’t even $2 million in the market,’ says Khan Mohammad Baz, the bespectacled head of the currency exchange union at Sarai Shahzada, Afghanistan’s central exchange market. ‘By 2003 there was probably $1 billion circulating.’ These days, Baz says, about $20 million worth of business deals are made in a day. The central bank alone pumps about $60 million a week into the market to buy back the Afghan currency and keep it stable.”

“About 36 percent of Afghanistan’s 30 million people live below the poverty line. ‘If you ask people on the streets whether we have a billionaire, they will shrug and say no,’ says a senior Afghan economic official, who asked to remain anonymous because he is privy to sensitive information. ‘But I can tell you with confidence we have many. If the top 10 wealthy men in Afghanistan—I would say 9 of them products of the past 10 years—came together, they could buy this government, the bank, this whole system.'”

“He also helped deliver USAID cash to far-flung districts as part of a jobs program called Cash for Work. He started other businesses as well, importing Iranian biscuits and shampoo from Nimroz, a large border province and hub for smugglers, distributing the products across the country. He invested his earnings abroad, including putting $100,000 into a bakery in the United Arab Emirates. He had become rich—thanks to American spending.”

The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reports a 19% increase in civilian casualties since 2013, making 2014 the bloodiest year yet for the U.S. occupation.   The UN says children have become the main victims.

“This year alone, more local security forces (police and army) have been killed by attacks and in fighting than ever before: 6,000 alone by mid-November, which is more than in the previous 12 years combined. In addition, according to official figures, some 3,000 civilians have also been killed. However, the real figure is probably much higher.”-World Socialist Web Site

WikiLeaks has released a 2009 CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) report which declared HVT (High Value Target Assassination, usually by drone strike) to be “intermittent” at best, because the Mujahideen “…military structure blends a top-down command system with an egalitarian Afghan tribal structure that rules by consensus, making the group more able to withstand HVT operations… …has a high overall ability to replace lost leaders, a centralized but flexible command and control overlaid with egalitarian Pashtun structures, and good succession planning and bench strength, especially at the middle levels…”

The CIA report is very useful for those who rage against the machine, you should check it out by clicking here.

Did anybody pay attention to the ‘end of mission’ ceremony conducted by the U.S. led NATO?  It’s total proof that this is a ‘western Christian’ war against ‘eastern Islam’!  All the top NATO military administrators made it a public point to conduct a ‘western Christian’ style prayer service as part of the ‘end of mission’ ceremony, in plain view of all the Islamic Afghan dignitaries!  What happened to ‘separation of church and state’?

Major General Max Haston spoke out: “We’ve already taken significant reductions in the Air National Guard to the tune of about 200-250 people and now we’re getting ready to look at what’s going to happen to the Army National Guard. If the worst case in the Budget Control Act takes place, the state of Tennessee could lose anywhere from 8-12% of its national guardsmen. That concerns me for the security of this nation….”

Norovirus / Tummy Bug update, 27 May 2013: Now number 1 cause of gastroenteritis! Meat good! Another misdiagnosis gone wrong!

In Maryland U.S.A., health officials revealed that on 17 May at least 200 kids attending the Pot Spring Elementary school got sick.  Nine employees also got sick.  Preliminary lab tests blame norovirus.

In Washington U.S.A., weeks later an outbreak continues.  Back on 10 May Longview Elementary school was closed.  Grant County Health District officials have confirmed it’s norovirus, and they’re warning that there are still “…pockets of students in other Moses Lake schools with stomach illnesses.”

In Iowa U.S.A., the Siouxland District Health Department concluded their investigating into what caused about three teachers and 80 students to get sick at the Bryant Elementary School.  They blame norovirus.

A study published in the latest edition of the New England Journal of Medicine says norovirus will soon be the number one cause of gastroenteritis in children.  Rotavirus was the number one cause, but that is on the decline since a vaccine was developed.  There is no vaccine for norovirus.

According to the journal Foodborne Pathogens and Disease, norovirus is now the number one cause for gastroenteritis for children and adults in Canada.   The study says one in eight Canadians will get norovirus every year.   In the United States it’s now one in every six people!

The U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting that meat based E.Coli (bacteria) caused gastroenteritis is down, by a lot.  An overall drop of 44% from 2000 to 2010.  It’s even better for ground beef (hamburger), a whopper, I mean a whopping 72% decline in E.Coli cases!  The decline is being credited to better raising of beef cows, cleaner handling of meat at the slaughter houses, and better cooking practices by consumers.

In Southampton, Hampshire U.K., a Celebrity Cruises ship docked after a trip to the Mediterranean.  It was revealed that at least 77 passengers and five crew members were sick with gastroenteritis.  The cruise line says from now on passengers will be asked if they’ve had stomach problems within three days prior to the cruise.  Customers can reschedule their cruises.

Norovirus has hit the Royal Lancaster Infirmary in Lancaster U.K.  Visitation in Ward 37 is now restricted.

In Finland, a study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health found that ‘open plan’ office work spaces not only result in less productivity, but they’re the main reason why office workers get sick!   Open space office workers take 62% more sick days than office workers who have their own office.  Studies by several U.S. and U.K. universities had similar conclusions.

In Galway, Ireland, a family recounted the death of their four years old daughter and gave a warning.  At first everyone thought she was suffering a bad case of gastroenteritis, because of the symptoms.  She died hours later in her fathers arms, after a doctor said it was just a tummy bug.  Turned out it was  an aggressive type of pneumococcal meningitis that rapidly progressed to septicemia (blood poisoning).  Meningitis can result in flu like/stomach bug like symptoms, but it’s not the flu.  You can visit the privately funded actformeningitis.ie for more info.

What Global Warming? Europe & Asia suffer freezing WX, at least 420 Europeans freeze to death, even North Africa affected

“It’s awful. I had to walk two hours through freezing temperatures just to get to the metro. The area is full of trees that have fallen on cars but no one’s come to help us.”-Federico Maneski, Rome, Italy

While North America is experiencing a warmer than normal winter, Europe and Asia are breaking records.  From record snowfall in Japan and Korea, to record low temps in Europe.

Japan and South Korea had reported record snowfall, and record freezing temps, but not as freezing as the temps in Europe.

As of February 6, at least 420 Europeans, mostly homeless people, have frozen to death!  Finland has hit -40 Celsius (-104 Fahrenheit)!   The deaths of people who do not have access to heat sources range from France, Italy, Poland, Romania to Ukraine.

In Serbia, an area of 70,000 people has been cut off by record snowfall.  Police and military units have to use helicopters to fly in supplies.  In Croatia, a woman gave birth to a daughter with the help of her neighbors in her village, because the road to the hospital was blocked by snow. She named her daughter Snjezana, which means Snow White in Croatian.

The freezing temps have even hit the North African country of Algeria.  16 people were killed when their cars slid off ice covered roads.

 

 

 

 

 

World War 3: Finland allows Patriot missiles to sail to South Korea

After an investigation, Finnish officials decided to let a British registered ship sail to South Korea, with it’s cargo of 69 Patriot missiles.

On December 21, Finnish port authorities discovered improperly packed, and labeled, Patriot missiles and explosive acid on the ship M/S Thor Liberty.   The explosives were exposed to the elements, and the missiles were labeled “fireworks”.

It turns out the German government had sold some of its Patriot missiles to South Korea.  The Germans demanded the Finns let the cargo go.

The two top officers of the ship were charged with safety violations.  The cargo was repacked safely and the ship was allowed to sail with its crew (the Finns originally wanted to hold and try the crew in court, but something changed their minds).

World War 3: Finland seizes U.S. made Patriot missiles, Germany says legitimate cargo bound for South Korea

“We have impounded the explosives and missiles and asked the Defense Ministry to transport and store them.”-Petri Lounatmaa, Finnish Customs

Finland has cleared an Isle of Man (a British Crown Dependency) registered ship, but only after taking the 69 Patriot missiles and 160 pounds of explosives.

German officials are upset. They claim the missiles came from German inventory, and were properly declared for shipment to South Korea.  Finnish officials basically say Gemany is lying: “Of course, there are legal transports of weapons or defense material (through Finland), but in this case the cargo was marked as containing fireworks. That is quite unusual.”-Paivi Rasanen, Interior Minister of Finland

Finnish port authorities say the 160 pounds of explosives, mainly picric acid (a nitrate based explosive which is also used in fireworks),  were stacked on pallets fully exposed to the elements.  Knowing what it was they began to open crates and that’s when they found the Patriot missiles.  The missiles were in crates marked “fireworks”!

The Finnish government has properly stored the explosives along with the missiles.  Finland is keeping the missiles and explosives, pending further investigation.

The ship, M/S Thor Liberty, is free to sail, but the 11 crew, including the captain, are in custody: “She can sail, but customs is still holding the cargo and the (detained) crew isn’t allowed to leave Finland.”-Markku Koskinen, Port of Kotka

 

World War 3: Finland discovers U.S. Patriot missiles on board U.K. ship heading for China

“Of course, there are legal transports of weapons or defense material (through Finland) but in this case the cargo was marked as containing fireworks.”-Paivi Rasanen, Interior Minister of Finland

On December 21, Finnish port authorities discovered 160 tons of explosives and 69 U.S. made Patriot missiles on a British ship heading for China.  The cargo was labeled “fireworks”!

The M/S Thor Liberty arrived in Finland on December 15, it had just left Germany two days prior.  Not only is it not normal to label weapon systems as fireworks, but under Finnish law shipping companies must get permission before docking with weapons on board.

Finnish Customs officials say the ship has no documentation regarding where they got the U.S. made weapons, or where they were going to take them: “We have impounded the explosives and missiles and asked the Defense Ministry to transport and store them. At this stage we don’t know where it (the cargo) was loaded on the ship or if the Thor Liberty planned a drop before its port of destination in China.”-Petri Lounatmaa

Finnish officials are questioning the crew of the Thor Liberty.
