Report shows Romney’s Bain Capital was typical crony capitalism from the very start. Included investors accussed of murdering their fellow countrymen!

“Over the years, these Latin American friends have loyally rolled over investments in succeeding funds, actively participated in Bain Capital’s May investor meetings, and are still today one of the largest investor groups in Bain Capital.”-Harry Strachan, former Bain Capital partner

According to the latest reports, at least 40% of Bain Capital’s initial funding came from investors who were accused by the U.S. government of murdering their own people!  Mitt Romney personally appealed to those investors, who were living in Florida.

Also, many of Bain’s initial investors were corporations registered in Panama. By being registered in Panama they avoided paying taxes, and they were able to hide information, such as the details about how they were making their money.  These corporations are sometimes called “shell companies”, because they really don’t produce a product or service, they’re simply used to hide money from governments.

Regarding the investments from death squad overlords, the U.S. government accused many of the Florida investors of being directly related to El Salvadoran officials, and/or directly funding the brutal civil war and mass killings that took place in the Central American country from 1980 to 1992.

Harry Strachan, a one time partner in Bain Capital, stated that Romney, and others, knew where the money was coming from, and were initially “…terrified of bringing in Central Americans. They were afraid of drug money.” Strachan admits that he convinced Romney to take the money.

The names of at least three investors, accused of funding death squads, have been released by the U.S. Department of State.  Romney has even named several investors, but claims he investigated them for such crimes against humanity. Another investor, Orlando de Sola, is now in an El Salvador prison, convicted of fraud.  Interestingly, he says he did not make any money off his family’s investments into Bain Capital!

Romney is still getting money from many of these same elitist Central American families. In fact they are major supporters in his campaign for President of the United States!

The latest reports connecting Romney to death squads and warlords in Central America, can be found in the Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Boston Globe, Associated Press and others.

World War 3: U.S. led NATO member Turkey invades Syria

07 August 2012, there are reports from northern Syria that hundreds of Turkish soldiers and armored vehicles crossed into Syria.  Turkey is denying such reports, but has already warned the Syrian government that they would invade on the pretext of fighting Kurdish Mujahideen.

There are reports that 40 of Turkish troops have been captured inside Syria, as well as the capture of a Turkish general in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Witnesses to the Turkish raid said the troops stopped at a village, and were escorting a large number of militants who are not Turkish. The Turks also gave the militant group weapons including anti-aircraft missiles.

The name of the village is Jarablos (aka Cerablos), it is in the Kurdish dominated area of Syria.

Kurds have been fighting for almost a hundred years to regain their autonomous regions, which run through Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran.  The Kurds lost those areas when the British stabbed them in the back after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after the end of World War One.

World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 29 July – 31 July. U.S. violates night raid agreement, again! Auswitch in Kabul! Mujahideen profiting from NATO supply routes from Pakistan! Afghanistan on verge of war with Pakistan! Afghan cops behind new war with Tajikistan! ISAF investigation reveals Green on Blue attacks caused by ass hole U.S. led forces!

31 July 2012

French occupation troops began pulling out.  France wants all their troops out by the end of 2012.

In Herat Province, yet again U.S. forces conducted a night time raid.  This time four civilians were wounded inside their home.  Local Afghan officials said the U.S. did not consult with them, and no Afghan government troops accompanied the U.S. troops, which are violations of the recent agreements signed between Afghanistan and the U.S.!  For some reason U.S. occupation troops have been conducting a lot of night time raids in Herat Province, many of them look like vengeance raids against local cops!

In Laghman Province, one teenager was killed, four wounded, after they found an old mine and started hitting it with a rock!

The U.S. puppet country of Georgia said a 17th soldier has died from wounds received in Afghanistan.  He had been in a coma since January 2012, after being caught in a mortar attack.

Mujahideen revealed they are actually making money off the U.S./NATO supply convoys coming through Pakistan!  The money is being made by charging the convoy security companies a fee which will allow the convoys to go through without being attacked.  This is actually standard practice in this part of the world, has been going on since the time of the Silk Road, think of it as a type of  Mafioso toll road.  So what this means is that the real reason a U.S./NATO supply convoy is attacked is because they didn’t pay the local ‘security’ fees!

In Badakhshan Province, a local police chief has been arrested and accused of instigating a border war with Tajikistan. The border was closed after Tajikistan troops conducted a cross border raid into Afghanistan. Tajik officials say it was in response to attacks against Tajik villages, the attackers came from Afghanistan.

The Afghan senate officially accused Pakistan of attacking Afghanistan.  Some officials claim Pakistan has fired 3,000 artillery rockets into Kunar Province in the past two months.  Afghan government officials believe the shelling is part of a covert plan by Pakistan to flood Afghanistan with insurgents.

In Kunar Province, local government officials claim they’ve killed six militants, and captured three.  Officials say some of the militants were Pakistani.

30 July 2012

In Farah Province, at least 23 U.S. trained militia men have defected to the Mujahideen. Afghan government officials, including President Hamid Karzai, warned the United States against such a program because the Soviets tried the same thing back in the 1980s, and it failed.

International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) Brigadier General Gunter Katz (of Germany) held a meeting with Afghan government officials over the increased attacks against U.S. led occupying troops by Afghan government troops.  So far this year there were 21 attacks launched against U.S. led forces by Afghan government forces.  Katz says most of those incidents had nothing to do with Mujahideen: “We have thoroughly probed these incidents. Our investigations have revealed such incidents take place due to personal matters, pressure and other such issues.”

The Afghan House of Representatives approved a new military pact with the United Kingdom.  The pact includes political cooperation, security issues,  improvement of legal system, economic and social development.  Other countries recently signing “strategic” pacts with Afghanistan are India, United States, France, Germany, Australia and Italy.

A Kabul hospital being run by the United States is now being investigated for abusing patients, in “Auschwitz like conditions”! The ass hole military commander in charge, U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Caldwell, and his deputy, Major General Gary Patton, are being accused of interfering with the investigation.

The accusers are whistleblowers and U.S. military investigators: “The evidence is clear to me that General Caldwell had the request withdrawn and postponed until after the [November 2010 U.S. congressional] election and then, after the election, tried to intimidate his subordinates into a consensus that it need not move forward at all.”-Retired U.S. Army Colonel Gerald Carozza Jr

Another investigator believes Caldwell was also acting on orders from the Department of Defense, citing a DoD memo which said: “Under no circumstances will they be shared outside of this command, transmitted via email, posted to the internet, or duplicated in any way without prior approval of the Command Surgeon….”-Jason Chaffetz, U.S. House Representative from Utah

In September 2011, the Wall Street Journal revealed that people in the U.S. run Dawood National Military Hospital were dying of simple infections and even starvation, because the patients did not have the money to pay for treatment or food!!!  Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Schuyler Geller confirms the accusations in a memo, and is now an official witness.

Several high ranking officers blew the whistle on the Auschwitz operation, and were reprimanded by Caldwell: “Lt Gen Caldwell screamed at these three officers, waving his finger at them for trying to bring in the DoD IG [Inspector General].”-Retired U.S. Army Colonel Gerald Carozza Jr

Caldwell is also being investigated for violating the Military Whistleblower Protection Act.

In Uruzgan Province, someone bombed a local Mosque, killing five people. Local officials suspect the target was a judge, who was killed in the blast.

ISAF claims they arrested an explosives expert in Kunduz Province. They say he is part of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.

29 July 2012

In Ghazni Province, local government officials claim they’ve launched a campaign against the Mujahideen, using local villagers as militia.

Also in Ghazni Province, more than 100 shops were burned down.  Local government officials are blaming it on an electrical short circuit. The fire was so huge that local officials asked U.S. led occupying forces to help put it out.

ISAF said: “Two International Security Assistance Force service members died following an insurgent attack in western Afghanistan today.”

In Kunar Province, four Afghan army officers were arrested.  They are accused of selling back weapons to Mujahideen, weapons that were confiscated in raids.

Also in Kunar Province, local officials claim Pakistan fired 250 rockets into the area.

In Kabul Province, and Afghan parliament member survived an assassination attempt.  Another official was wounded in the attack.

Also in Kabul Province, two people were sentenced to 16 years in prison for spying.  No official word on who they were spying for, but unnamed sources say they were working for Iran.

In Maidan Wardak Province, a local official was assassinated: “The Governor of Chak district, Mohammad Ismael Wafa, was on his way to office this morning when unidentified armed men opened fire on his vehicle killing him on the spot and injuring his son.”-official government statement

The Afghan Interior Ministry claim that more than 17 Mujahideen were killed in battles in Nangarhar, Kunduz, Balkh, Ghazni and Helmand provinces.

World War 3: Former IDF inteligence boss says any Israeli attack against Iran would be the beginning of continued attacks for years to come

The following quotes are from Major General Aharon Ze’evi Farkash, former Israeli Defense Forces intelligence chief

“An attack is not a single strike and once it happens we are in a whole other world. Iran will pull out of the [nuclear] Non-Proliferation Treaty…..and it will be clear that they need a bomb now so that we cannot attack them again. This means that Israel will need legitimacy to be able to maintain the operation with more attacks within weeks, months and years after.” 

“Israel without legitimacy will not be able to, over time, maintain the results of a successful attack.”

“I think that within this window it is difficult to imagine that something will happen a month before [U.S.] elections.”

World War 3: Lebanese parliament official says World War guaranteed if Syria attacked

“I don’t think the Syrian regime would collapse, but if it gets close to collapse, a new world war will erupt because China and Russia won’t let the regime in Syria collapse!”-Michel Aoun, Free Patriotic Movement

04 August 2012, a member of the Lebanese parliament warned that a third world war was guaranteed if Syria was attacked.

What Economic Recovery? Hewlett Packard to layoff 300 British employees, government officials calling it a “quarterly cull”! HP has too much debt, turns to GE for help!

“This is not part of the global program, it’s just a quarterly cull.”-unnamed government source

03 August 2012, news media in the United Kingdom have discovered that Hewlett Packard (HP) has told the British government they will let go at least 268 employees.

British law requires companies that are laying off more than 20 employees to notify the government.

Despite the unnamed government official’s statement, some analysts believe this is part of the planed layoff of 27,000 HP employees by October 2014.

HP officials in France and Germany said they’re planing to cut their workforce by 10%.  In Sweden it could be as high as 14%.  Italy and Spain are still awaiting HP’s layoff estimates.  Even the announced 268 layoffs in the U.K. are not considered the final cut.

Unions in Britain are claiming that HP will end up laying off at least 1,600 employees.  CEO Meg Whitman, refused to answer British media questions.

On 30 July 2012, the Wall Street Journal reported that HP was finding it harder and harder to get credit default swaps on its debt.  The cost of such swaps has quadrupled for HP since last year.  That’s because more and more investors are worried that HP will end up busted.

Also, HP’s debt load is now at $21 million USD, no thanks to its recent purchase of a company called Autonomy.

As a result HP has turned to General Electric (GE) for financial help.

On 02 August 2012, GE Capital announced they will offer credit to HP resellers. The offer includes 60 days of no interest re-payments: “Resellers of any size can view this kind of financing as working capital that they can use to help grow their markets and expand their businesses. We’re pleased to be working with HP to support its resellers.”-Mike Marcolina, GE Capital Commercial Distribution Finance
