World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 05 – 08 March 2013. Intense Green on Blue & Blue on Green attacks, dozens killed! More games with tax dollars over aircraft! More than 13000 U.S. troops will remain! More proof it’s all about the oil! U.S. female soldier goes to prison for stealing your tax money!

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

(where’s the U.S. main streamer media on this one?) In Kapisa Province, Afghan National Army (ANA) troops attacked a U.S. base. Reports say the ANA soldiers were using U.S. supplied vehicles.  One civilian contractor was killed, one U.S. soldier killed, as well as three ANA troops. Local government officials say it was a spontaneous attack, as U.S. personnel apparently insulted ANA troops as they were leaving the base. However, an independent report says U.S. forces open fired on an ANA vehicle, killing the driver. Then other ANA forces arrived and open fired in a vengeance attack. The independent report says two more ANA troops were killed, nine U.S. personnel were killed and two wounded.  ISAF said only: “Individuals wearing Afghan National Army uniforms turned their weapons against International Security Assistance Force members in eastern Afghanistan today, killing one ISAF-contracted civilian. The incident is currently under investigation.”

The above incident in Kapisa might be connected to a massive home invasion operation the day before.

In Helmand Province, a NDS (National Directorate of Security) spy was assassinated by Mujahideen.

In Kandahar Province, a motorcycle bomb was used to destroy an Afghan government forces’ Toyota Land Cruiser.  Also, Mujahideen claim two NATO tanks rolled over landmines. The casualties were medivaced by helicopters.

The games with U.S. tax dollars continue in regards to the U.S. funded COIN (COunter INsurgency) aircraft program for Afghanistan.  Once again Beechcraft is protesting the USAF decision to give Afghanistan the A-29 Super Tucano.  This is the second time Beechcraft is protesting.  The USAF has held competition/review between the Beechcraft AT-6 and A-29 twice now, and the A-29 won both times.  The program could end up costing U.S. taxpayers $950 million USD.

In Kapisa Province, in Koh Band district, a large scale home invasion operation took place.  According to locals six homes were set on fire, wounding seven people including children.  Apparently the operation was actually an attempt to kidnap a local Imam.

In Ghazni Province, an ANA soldier joined the Mujahideen.

(here’s another one the U.S. main streamers missed) In Maidan-Wardak province, in Chak district, U.S. helicopters attacked ANA forces!  Six Afghan government troops killed in the Blue on Green attack.  The U.S. air attack on Afghan government forces came after Mujahideen ambushed U.S. ground forces in the same area.

In Kunar Province, Mujahideen say they killed three U.S. personnel during a firefight in the Chowki district.

In Farah Province, three cops were killed, nine wounded, while they were destroying an opium field in Khak-e-Safid district.  Local officials say one of the cops stepped on a landmine.

In Herat Province, two explosions wounded at least five people. One of the explosions was caused by a motorcycle bomb, which went off as an opposition political party was holding a rally.

In Uruzgan Province, six mercenaries (contracted militia/cops, aka Arbakis) joined the Mujahideen.

In Kandahar, a policeman from the Zhiri district joined the Mujahideen.

A female U.S. Army soldier, Tonya Long, went to prison, convicted of trying to smuggle more than $1 million out of Afghanistan.   Investigators say she and her family spent half of it on plastic surgery, vacations and a tractor/trailer rig.  She served in Afghanistan as customs inspector with the 189th Combat Sustainment Battalion between 12 January 2008 and 5 April 2009.  She will spend five years in prison, three on probation and must pay back one million U.S. tax dollars: “Tonya Long betrayed her team and while other soldiers were fighting for our country, she was stealing money intended to support the mission.”-Thomas G Walker, U.S. Attorney

Merry olde Britisher slave taxpayers are going to be funding $14.9 million in Afghan mining projects.  Prime Minister David Cameron revealed that his bloody Red Coat interests in Afghanistan are not about fighting terrorism but about getting control of natural resources.   Recent mineral resource analysis suggests that Afghanistan has $3 trillion worth of gold, gems, iron ore, and petroleum!

06 March 2013/23 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/16 Esfand 1391

In Paktia Province, another U.S. home invasion, in Girda Chiri district, resulted in three people being killed.  Reports say the three people killed were shot out of frustration because the U.S. led forces did not find whatever it was they were looking for. Several people were beaten.

In Farah Province, two Italian NATO troops, and an Afghan translator, were wounded after they drove over a landmine. The explosion flipped their new Iveco Lynx wheeled vehicle.

In Takhar Province, local government officials say a potential suicide bomber might have set off his bomb too soon.  Police say the bomb went off in his house, wounding the home owner and a child.  The home owner/potential bomber has been arrested.

In Herat Province, a police commander was assassinated by Mujahideen.

In Kandahar Province, a NDS spy was assassinated by Mujahideen.

USMC General James Mattis told the U.S. Congress that thousands of U.S. personnel need to remain in Afghanistan after the supposed 2014 pullout: “I have made my recommendation….That recommendation is for 13600 U.S. forces.”

General Mattis originally wanted to keep 20000 personnel in the Central Asian country! So much for any withdrawal.  Mattis also told Congress that he wants to turn over drone operations to Afghanistan.

05 March 2013/22 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/15 Esfand 1391

In Kunar Province, reports that three people simply walking were killed by U.S. led drone strike, in Ghazi Abad district.

In Laghman Province, Mujahideen say they engaged a U.S. led patrol in Qarghaee district, killing one and wounding two.

In Saripul Province, Mujahideen say they liberated the village of Qonsai.  Three Arbakis killed, three wounded. One Mujahid wounded.

In Helmand Province, Mujahideen claim to have repelled a U.S. led offensive in Babaji district. At least three ISAF armored vehicles destroyed.  The offensive might have started after Mujahideen ambushed an ISAF foot patrol earlier in the day in the same district.

While the U.S. is actually planning on staying, German Defense Minister Thomas Maiziere announced they are leaving.   Specifically they will abandon OP (Observation Post) North near the city of Puli-khumri in Baghlan Province.

In Badakhshan Province, Mujahideen presented local government officials with the bodies of 16 ANA troops.  Mujahideen said they killed the ANA soldiers in a firefight. Mujahideen say in the battle they captured 12 government personnel, 2 vehicles and 37 weapons.  Eight government vehicles were destroyed. Two Mujahideen killed, one Mujahid was wounded.

At least 21 former executives and employees of Kabul Bank have been convicted and sent to prison. They were convicted of fraud after it was discovered that 90% of the bank’s loans went to only 19 individuals and businesses.  Sentences range from six months to five years in prison. Two former executives will have to pay back more than $700 million combined.

33 years later, a Soviet soldier who went MIA (Missing In Action) during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, has been found, alive.  According to Russian media the soldier defected to the Mujahideen.  Just think you Yankees, 30 years from now you could be hearing similar reports about your MIAs!

World War 3: Israel to build military academy on Mount of Olives!

“It is unwise and provocative to put the Military Academy on this sensitive place.”-Peace Now

10 March 2013/27 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/20 Esfand 1391

Since last year the Israeli zoinist government has been pushing to build a military academy (aka plan 51870) on the Mount of Olives near Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

On 07 March 2013, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) radio announced a halt to the final approval process for the academy, until after U.S. President Barack Obama’s visit later this month (20-22 March).

Since last year several Christian groups have held protests to try and stop Israel’s plans.  The planned Israeli Military College is so large that it will cover the top of the hill, and have an underground parking lot five stories tall!

World War 3: Is China’s vote for sanctions against Korea a trick?

10 March 2013/27 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/20 Esfand 1391

After defending it’s vote for the latest UN sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Chinese officials now say they will support the North.

Analysts think China voted for the sanctions for purely political reasons and will not do their part to enforce those sanctions.

An editorial in Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun pointed out that the latest UN sanctions will not work if China does not enforce them. Apparently China is the lynch pin of the latest sanctions against DPRK.

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, believes China is not sincere in their claim of support for the latest sanctions: “There’s no reason to think they’re going to do anything different than they’ve done before. I call this a marginal increase in sanctions.”

World War 3: War Messsage from Supreme Command of the Korean People’s Army

Kim Jong-un is not sole dictator of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  Korea, north, should be thought of as one huge army base, run by Songun (Sŏn’gun).  Songun is the national military first policy of the DPRK, which means it’s actually the ‘general staff’ that’s making many policy decisions.

The following excerpts are from the  08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391/Juche 102 DPRK war declaration.

“First, the DPRK abrogates all agreements on nonaggression reached between the north and the south.

The frantic Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises being staged by the south Korean warmongers together with the U.S. in the land, air and seas of south Korea with huge armed forces, nuclear-powered carrier flotilla, strategic bombers and other nuclear strike hardware involved are open acts of aggression against the DPRK and a vivid expression of wanton violation of all the agreements on nonaggression reached between the north and the south.

The south Korean puppet forces are working with bloodshot eyes to invade the DPRK in collusion with the U.S…… 

Therefore, the DPRK officially declares that from the moment the Korean Armistice Agreement is made totally invalid on March 11 all the said agreements will be completely nullified.

The DPRK will mercilessly punish the enemies through prompt crushing retaliatory strikes, not bound to the above-said agreements, if they intrude into its land and territorial air and waters even an inch and fire even a single shell at them.

Second, the DPRK totally nullifies the joint declaration on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. is the arch criminal who introduced nuclear weapons to south Korea more than 60 years ago and has threatened the DPRK with nukes, spawning the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. The south Korean puppet forces are the accomplices who shielded and encouraged the U.S. shipment of nuclear weapons into south Korea and have danced to the tune of the U.S. in its moves for a nuclear war against the DPRK.

The U.S. and the puppet forces’ nuclear war moves against the DPRK virtually put an end to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula long ago and rendered the joint declaration on its denuclearization totally meaningless.

Hence, the DPRK re-clarifies that the joint declaration on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula has become totally invalid……..

Third, the DPRK will close the Panmunjom liaison channel between the north and the south.

There is nothing to talk to the puppet group of traitors hell-bent on the moves for a war of aggression against the north, blinded with confrontation and hostility towards compatriots. What remains to be done is to settle accounts with them by physical force only…….

We will never miss the golden chance to wage a great war for national reunification.”

World War 3: Hamas & Islamic Jihad says if Obama visits al-Aqsa Mosque then War Were Declared!

09 March 2013/26 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/19 Esfand 1391

Hamas, and the militia group Islamic Jihad, says if U.S. President Barack Obama visits al-Aqsa Mosque without Palestinian approval it will be taken as a declaration of war against Palestine.

There are reports that Obama will visit Israel, and the territories Israel illegally occupies, later in the month. Israel illegally controls Al-Quds (Jerusalem), and there is word among Palestinians that Obama will visit al-Aqsa with Israeli protection, and in defiance of the fact that it is sovereign Palestinian territory (just like the recalcitrant IDF soldiers that have recently been shooting Palestinians at the Mosque).

UN Security Council Resolution 478 basically says Israeli occupation of Jerusalem is illegal under international law.

What Economic Recovery? List of U.S. job losses & store closings for 09 February 2013: More Obama/Romney Care cuts! People being laid off so their co-workers can get a raise! Christian God can’t stop Christian Book Stores from being shut down! Blame greedy Christian landlords!

The Southeast Arizona Medical Center bankrupt. A new company will take over operations.  The old company was millions in debt.  Hospital officials say nothing will change regarding employees and hospital operations (famous last words).

In Ohio, the Aultman Hospital and Mercy Medical Center laying off employees and closing departments.  Company officials blame the Obama/Romney Care reforms.  Also, Akron General Medical Center warned 132 employees that layoffs are coming! Officials there blamed a combination of decreased revenues and Obama/Romney Care: “The external pressures being placed on us, and really all hospitals across the country, are extraordinary.“-Tim Stover, Akron General Health System

Eastern Kentucky University announced they will layoff an undisclosed amount of employees.  This in an effort to maintain classes and give pay raises to those who are not laid off!  Also, Guitar Emporium closed down in Louisville. The owner retired, five employees out-o-work.

Christie’s closing its Haunch of Venison galleries in New York, U.S.A., and London, U.K.  40 jobs affected.  Also in New York, Pardzee’s pizza restaurant in East Syracuse closed down. The owners wanted to retire.

In North Carolina, the Books-A-Million store closed in Cotswold Village.

In Washington DC, the Christian book seller, Newman Bookstore, will close down in May.  Church officials say it’s because the landlord jacked up the rent (so why not ask your God for the extra rent money?).

Lambert’s Swap Shop book store in Arkansas out-o-business. The Christian owners blamed crashing sales, but said their biggest seller was the Bible.  They claim the Bibles would sell out as soon as they came in, but I guess it wasn’t enough for the Christian God to help them keep their 40 years old book store open.

Railroad Books & Videos closing down in Strasburg, Pennsylvania.  Also, the Thomas’ Trackside Station toy store closing down as well. Both stores are owned by the same family. They blame crashing sales.

In Williamstown, Massachusetts, the Store at Five Corners closing down, again. The store was going to close down in 2011, because of money problems, but somehow continued on.  Now the landlord wants the store closed for sure.  The manager of the store say he was not given a reason why: “I received a call on Wednesday night from the building’s owner, saying he wanted to close the store and he wanted to close it by Sunday.”-Ryan Hassett

In Iowa, the Citizens First National Bank branch at Flindt and Richland Drives in Storm lake, closing down.  The bank wants to make more money by renting out the office space.

A 100 years old privately run public swimming pool shut down. Wisconsin’s DeKoven Foundation blames “…increased state and federal regulations, prohibitive cost structures and availability of qualified staff.”

After 105 years the Emmerson Furniture store in Cañon City, Colorado, closed down. The owner is upset because he tried everything in the past three years to save the family business: “…I hate the fact we have to close. It’s not anything I’ve done wrong or anybody else. It’s just the economic conditions aren’t good….it’s been a spiral going downhill. I couldn’t make it stop.”-Brady Emmerson

Also in Colorado, Sonny’s Rocks jewelery store in Denver closed down. The owner said the bad economy was a sign that it was time to retire: “Retail has just gotten to the point it’s so tough today. I’ve been doing this for 40 years, so I’m ready to relax.”-Michael Nedler

Government & Corporate Evil: It’s official, the Too Big to Fails are now Too Big to Jail! Attorney General claims that UnAmerican Corporate America has the world economy by the balls!!!

The following statements were made during the 06 March 2013/23 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/16 Esfand 1391 U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee questioning of Department of Justice oversight.

“In the case of bank prosecution. I’m concerned we have a mentality of ‘too big to jail’ in the financial sector….Assistant Attorney General Breuer said that one reason that DoJ has not sought these prosecutions is because it reaches out to ‘experts’ to see what effect the prosecution will have on the financial markets.”-Chuck Grassley, U.S. Senator from Iowa

“…I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if we do prosecute…..it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy.”-Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General

Another U.S. Senator, and economist, went nuts when she heard those statements: “It has been almost five years since the financial crisis, but the big banks are still too big to fail?  That means they are subsidized by about $83 billion a year by American taxpayers and are still not being held fully accountable for breaking the law!  Attorney General Holder’s testimony that the biggest banks are Too Big to Jail shows once again that it is past time to end Too Big to Fail!”-Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts

Where’s the main streamer media on this one?

Those of us who’ve been dealing with long term unemployment have already seen our economy “negatively impacted”, it’s time for those who destroyed our economy to pay!

World War 3: China calls for calm after North Korea declares War!

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

China voted for the latest UN sanctions against Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which led to Pyongyang’s declaration of war.

Now China is calling for calm: “China calls on relevant parties to exercise calm and restraint, and avoid actions that might further escalate tensions.”-Hua Chunying, spokeswoman Chinese Foreign Ministry

Chinese officials defended their vote against Democratic People’s Republic of Korea by saying it was “…objective and fair…”

World War 3: Israeli soldier desecrates Qur’an, IDF attacks al-Aqsa Mosque! Israel continues attacks on Gaza! U.S. begins Leviathan war games with Israel.

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

Israeli soldiers attacked protesting Palestinians at the al-Aqsa Mosque.  Palestinians responded with firebombs.

The protest has been ongoing since Israeli soldiers stormed the Mosque on 03 March 2013.  They broke up a Qur’an recitation, with one IDF troop kicking and trampling the Qur’an.

No mention by U.S. media!

Also not mentioned is that fact that Israel has not stopped attacking Gazans. The latest attack involves an attack by IDF personnel on farmers in the town of Jabalia.   One Palestinian wounded.  This is yet another violation of the most recent cease fire agreement. Last week six Palestinians were wounded by IDF troops in Gaza Strip.

The navies of United States, Greece and Israel have begun two week long war games.  This is a continuation of war games started in 2011 called Noble Dina. The main purpose of the war games is to protect new natural gas operations in the massive Leviathan petroleum fields under the Mediterranean Sea.

World War 3: New Korean War to begin 11 March 2013! South Korea says the North shall be wiped from the Earth!

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has declared the 1953 non-aggression pact void!  As of 11 March 2013 the northern half of Korea will now consider itself at war with the southern half, and the United States!

Officials in Pyongyang are shutting down their operations at the Demilitarized Zone.

There are reports that Kim Jong Un visited front line military units deployed on an island off the western coast of the Korean Peninsula.  Apparently he ordered the military to quickly annihilate the enemy in a single attack.

Other reports say Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s KCNA news agency is reporting that the people are “…ready to fight a Korean style all-out war.”

KCNA also reported that the war will not be confined to the peninsula, and it mentioned future precision strikes targeting “…enemy deployed on five islets…”

The latest claims by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea come after the Republic of Korea declared “…Kim Jong-un’s regime will perish from earth.”

That threat from the South was in response to the North’s threat to use nukes in a first strike against its enemies.  See more of the tit for tat here.
