World War 3: U.S. occupation of Afghanistan; 25 – 28 December 2012. Attacks increasing! U.S. bombs Afghan government militias! Tit for tat increases with Pakistan. Cops keep attacking fellow cops! More waste of U.S. taxpayer money!
28 December 2012
Mujahideen claim wave of attacks in Kandahar Province. In Shahwalikot district, battles raged since the day before. Mujahideen are not sure of how much damage they inflicted on enemy troops, but they think they blew up a U.S./NATO armored vehicle. Also, in the same district a local cop joined the Mujahideen. In Panjwaee district, a cop was sniped. In Kandahar city, a police vehicle was blown up with a bicycle bomb, killing four and wounding one. In Ghorak district, a police vehicle was blown up with a landmine. In Hisark district, 15 U.S./NATO personnel were killed in a firefight.
Pakistan closed the Torkham gate on the border with Afghanistan, claiming two Pakistani truck drivers had been tortured by Afghan border police. This was apparently in retaliation for Pakistani police harassing 29 Afghan truck drivers. And that was in retaliation for Afghan harassment of Pakistani workers the week prior!
In another example of wasted U.S. taxpayer money; two Afghan women returned from the United States after receiving helicopter pilot training. The problem is that the Afghan air force refuses to let the women do their jobs as pilots. The two 2nd Lieutenants are the first female pilots for Afghanistan since the Soviet occupation in the 1980s.
Afghans are suing Germany over an airstrike that killed almost one hundred civilians, and wounded at least 142. It happened in 2009, when German ground troops called in an airstrike on two fuelers that had been captured by Mujahideen. USAF F-15 Eagles blew up the fuel trucks in a crowded part of Kunduz city.
Australia began officially withdrawing from Afghanistan. They claim they will be out by the end of 2013.
27 December 2012
In Logar Province, Mujahideen claim heavy fighting. Two U.S. led troops on foot patrol killed, and two wounded, using a remote detonated bomb. They also claim to have killed two Afghan government troops when they blew up their vehicle. A policeman was sniped by Mujahideen as well.
In Uruzgan Province, Mujahideen attacked a police checkpoint. Government reports say four cops killed, four wounded. Mujahideen claim six cops killed. Reports say the attack was led by a local cop.
In Kunar Province, Mujahideen are calling it the Battle of Kunar. In Chapa Darah district, they claim to have killed seven enemy troops and blew up three vehicles. In Manugi district, they claim to have killed three enemy troops, wounded dozens, and destroyed three vehicles.
26 December 2012
In Nangarhar Province, in Khogiyani district, U.S./NATO forces used helicopters to bomb Afghan government militia troops and local police, killing 15. It happened during an intense battle with Mujahideen. Apparently the U.S. led forces mistook the local government militia/cops as Mujahideen. No comment from ISAF, so far. Mujahideen say, “na, na, you missed me, you didn’t even touch me!”
In Faryab Province, in Dawlatabad district, Mujahideen attacked a police checkpoint chasing off the cops and taking two motorcycles and a supply truck. In Chilgazi district, Mujahideen killed 10 Afghan National Army (ANA) troops, and captured one.
In Khost Province, Forward Operating Base (FOB) Chapman was hit by a car bomb: “Three Afghan nationals are killed and seven Afghan nationals are wounded. We have no report of coalition casualties right now.”-International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)
Afghan media reports say President Hamid Karzai has met with Mujahideen leaders. He promised them he would take their complaints directly to U.S. President Barack Obama.
Afghan investigators say the police woman who killed a U.S. police contractor, is from Iran. They say she came to Afghanistan ten years ago with her husband. Although investigators are trying to blame the shooting on the fact that she’s originally from Iran, they have not found any links to Mujahideen. The female cop said she did it to get vengeance for being sexually harassed.
France will offer asylum to Afghans that have worked for the French military. French officials admit those Afghans who worked for the French military will not be safe once French troops leave Afghanistan.
Today was the 33rd anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Soviets had advanced weapons, highly trained troops, much more firepower including air power, yet still lost. They occupied Afghanistan (on their own, not with allies like the United states) for ten years.
25 December 2012
In Kandahar Province, Panjwaee district, Mujahideen say they attacked a enemy foot patrol by ambush and landmines. Two killed, one wounded. In Karez bazaar of Kandahar city, Mujahideen attacked a police check point with grenades. As government reinforcements arrived, Mujahideen attacked them with bombs. Six killed. In Boldak district, three border police were killed, one wounded, when they drove over a landmine.
In Farah Province, three people were killed when they drove over a landmine.
In Helmand Province, in Bari Gul bazaar area of Nad Ali district, U.S./NATO forces raided a village. Three people were beat up then kidnapped.
In Paktika Province, an ANA soldier joined the Mujahideen.
Breaking news: McCoy says Martial Law training ramped up since May 2012. Federals own local cops!
In a Call to Decision 02 January 2013 interview with North Carolina State cop, Lieutenant McCoy, he stated that Martial Law training began in May 2012, is nothing new, except the training has since been “stepped up”.
McCoy relaid how over the past decade the Federal government pumped millions of dollars into local law enforcement agencies, to the point they now “own them”. I can attest to that regarding state National Guard (militia). During the 1990s the Federal government offered billions in extra funding to state National Guard, with the catch that the governors had to essentially turn over their right to authorize activation of their respective Guard units to the Federal government.
Listen to interview here (02 January 2013 interview).
Breaking news: McCoy has first hand knowledge of FEMA camps.
In a Call to Decision 02 January 2013 interview with North Carolina State cop, Lieutenant McCoy, he stated he had first hand knowledge of FEMA concentration camps, but did not elaborate.
Breaking news: McCoy says 3 to 6 months before Martial Law declared. Christians who stand up against Martial Law are main targets!
“For God’s sake, people’ve got to wake up!”-Lieutenant McCoy, North Carolina State cop
In a Call to Decision 02 January 2013 interview with North Carolina State cop, Lieutenant McCoy, he stated his experience with computer training for Martial Law, it appears that Federal officials are concerned things will deteriorate to the point of Martial Law in the next three to six months.
McCoy says Christians who stand up to Martial Law will be considered by Federal government to be their main targets.
Breaking news: McCoy says elected officials know what’s coming, target list of potential resistors already established!
In a Call to Decision 02 January 2013 interview with North Carolina State cop, Lieutenant McCoy, he stated he talked to at least one elected official who said they know what’s coming, regarding Martial Law.
Planning for Martial Law began in the 1980s. At least 45% of county Sheriffs will not support Martial Law.
Federal officials already established potential target list of U.S. citizens they expect to resist. List includes farms, and any operation that could allow individual citizens to operate independent of government or unAmerican Corporate America.
Breaking news: McCoy says 75% of U.S. cops will fight Martial Law! Implies recent media reports of shootings and anti-gun propaganda part of the plan!
In a Call to Decision 02 January 2013 interview with North Carolina State cop, Lieutenant McCoy, he stated that he believed three quarters of local law enforcement officials will fight any Federal Martial Law.
McCoy also implies that U.S. media reports focusing on shootings, and anti-gun propaganda is part of elitists’ plan to get the general public riled up, rioting in the streets, so Federal government can justify Martial Law.
Class Warfare: More proof Fiscal Cliff is a done deal to screw over taxpayers! End of part one in the ongoing Fiscal Cliff Hanger saga!
“We Republicans need to be willing to tolerate a temporary, partial government shutdown, which is what that could mean.”-Pat Toomey, U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania
“Go fuck yourself!”-John Boehner, Speaker of the House, reply to Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader
“More remains to be done to put U.S. public finances back on a sustainable path without harming the still fragile recovery.”-Gerry Rice, International Monetary Fund (IMF), commenting on the so called fiscal cliff deal in the United States
“As the IMF have said, anything short of a deep and wide reaching resolution will not be good enough this time around.”–Wayne Swan, Treasurer of Australia, commenting on the so called fiscal cliff deal in the United States
The so called budget agreement to avoid a fiscal cliff (austerity measures) is a total sham. As I posted before, this fiscal cliff is a done deal.
Proof is the fact that there will be across the board 2% income/payroll tax increases for everyone, not just the wealthy! So much for some of those states that recently raised their mandatory minimum wage levels (or maybe that’s why they raised it, they knew what was coming).
One small business owner said he can not afford to try and help his employees deal with the increased income tax by giving them a raise: “Any business that survived the recession did so by digging a big hole. We can’t dig any deeper.”-Mike Brey, Hobby Works
The 2% payroll tax increase comes as a temporary decrease on Social Security taxes ended with the first round of fiscal cliff BS. That’s right, this is just first round. Despite what the incompetent main stream U.S. TV media is reporting, there are more fiscal cliff hangers coming.
According to many economists, this latest deal does not cut spending enough, or at all, and the amount of increase in taxes is piddly, so the end result is deeper government debt.
Over the next two months there will be more fiscal cliff hangers, over the national debt ceiling, more taxes and government spending cuts. Isn’t this what we’ve been seeing in several European countries in the past couple of years?
2013, there will be Martial Law in the United States! Source: Police
“Things are going down hill very quickly…..they’re [government forces] looking for it [martial law/civil collapse] to happen….they’re training to take us [U.S. citizens] down.”-Lt McCoy, police officer from North Carolina
On 28 December 2012, a Lieutenant McCoy claiming to be with a police department in the state of North Carolina called into a Christian radio show, called Call to Decision, and gave details of how martial law training is taking place in the Old North State/Tar Heel State.
McCoy believes a Martial (military) Law event will take place in the next two to three months, possibly directly related to economic collapse. He stated that “…they’ll start to move and they’ll start picking out certain people, making confiscations and arrests…..be prepared, defend yourself and your family……from the information I’ve been able to gather, it’s [orchestrated economic collapse/Martial Law] kinda gonna come in altogether at one time, so they can’t blame the government but they can blame us [local police].”
McCoy says the info he’s relaying is not “hearsay” but information he was told directly. You can hear the December radio program by clicking hear, the interview with McCoy is more than halfway through the show.
Butch Paugh, of the Call to Decision radio show, says he will do a full length interview with McCoy on 02 January 2013, and hopefully reveal more about what is happening in North Carolina, and the rest of the United States.
What Economic Recovery? Hewlett Packard on the ropes, and going down! Blames War on Terror!
“Terrorist acts, conflicts of wars (wherever located throughout the world) may cause damage or disruption to HP, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers or adversely affect our ability to manage logistics……..The potential for future attacks, the national and international responses……or wars, including ongoing military operations in Afghanistan, have created many economic and political uncertainties……actions against or by the United States may impact our business and employees.”-HP Form 10-K, Security & Exchange Commission report, 27 December 2012
Hewlett Packard filed a 10-K report with the U.S. SEC, and it’s full of what if scenarios, mostly bad scenarios. Obviously the executives of HP are not positive about 2013. Employees will continue to be shed: “The restructuring plan includes both voluntary early retirement programs and non-voluntary workforce reductions and is expected to result in 29,000 employees exiting the company by the end of the period [by the end of 2014].”
HP is also dealing with trouble from competitors, dealers and divisions.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating HP’s claims that the executives of the British company Autonomy, lied about its financial situation. HP shelled out $11 billion USD for Autonomy in 2011!
After a challenge by IBM (International Business Machines) the U.S. Federal government will continue with a $543 million five year Department of Veterans Affairs contract with HP.
Despite Idaho voters rejecting a laptop for students proposition, HP was awarded a $180 million contract to provide the laptops, at least one week before the voting took place!!!
Skycom Tech, a business partner of Chinese company Huawei, tried to sell $1.72 million worth of HP communication equipment to an Iranian company, some say in violation of U.S./European sanctions. The deal didn’t go through, but Huawei said: “Huawei’s business in Iran is in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including those of the UN, U.S. and EU….”
HP officials said: “HP’s distribution contract terms prohibit the sale of HP products into Iran…”
There are reports that HP is no longer directly selling printers on Amazon. Some analysts think it’s actually retaliation by Amazon, because HP’s new Cloud computing system is in direct competition with Amazon’s own computing system.
A report out of India says a state government is investigating HP’s claims of being able to supply 1,500,000 school laptops by a certain date. If government officials don’t think HP can make the deadline they will split up the contract to other competitors: “If HP is found to have insufficient capacity, then it could, accordingly, get a contract to supply a reduced quantity of laptops and the remaining quantity will be divided among the bidders ready to offer the quantity at the rate quoted by HP.”-Uttar Pradesh government statement
HP and General Motors (GM) are going after each other in court. It involves GM’s recent decision to hire away from HP 3,000 employees, to start its own inhouse tech service. HP claims it’s more than coincidence that GM’s plans to dump HP (and IBM) as tech service providers come after GM hired several HP executives to run GM’s technology operations. HP said the initial 18 HP employees hired by GM resigned “en masse and without notice.”
