World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 01-05 April 2014: SIGAR accuses USAID of corruption! More drone strikes! Cop kills reporter! Suicide bombers attacking Mujahideen?

Faryab Province: In Garziwan District, battles between government and Mujahideen forces left at least six people dead, three wounded.

Ghazni Province: In Gelan District, National Directorate of Security (NDS) used a reverse suicide bomber to kill 16 Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen. Nine wounded.  There were also major battles in the province, on election day, with at least 54 people being killed.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, more explosions, this time the Interior Ministry was hit and six cops killed, dozens wounded.

Khost Province: Reports of riots between supporters of different political candidates.  A cop shot and killed a ‘Western’ reporter, and shot and wounded another.  Of course Western media blamed Mujahideen, even though it was a cop who did it!

Kunar Province:  Government officials called in a U.S. drone strike that wounded at least ten people wounded.  Two people killed.  Even though women were among the casualties, government officials said all the victims are Mujahideen.  In Nari District, yet another U.S. air strike, this time five people killed, several wounded.

Logar Province: In Charkh District, sounds like a reverse suicide bomber killed six Mujahideen.  It’s starting to look like the claims by the government of Mujahideen “accidentally” blowing themselves up are really NDS reverse suicide bomber ops.

Paktika Province: In Wana District, reports that Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen fought each other.  Reports say the Afghan Mujahideen stopped planned attacks on Afghan voting stations by the Pakistani Mujahideen.

The Afghan government shut down the Short Message Service (SMS) for cell phones, claiming candidates were using it to violate election laws.  The government also arrested people in at least three provinces for “ballot box stuffing”.  Isn’t ‘democracy’ wonderful?

The British empire country of United Kingdom declared their Afghanistan occupation officially over.  Only 448 evil Red Coats were killed.

NATO General, Philip Breedlove, told CNN that U.S. led NATO will never leave Afghanistan: “NATO’s mission doesn’t end; NATO’s combat mission ends, but our train, advise, assist mission begins, and this is very important to remember.”

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction has accused the U.S. Agency for International Development of lying about what they are doing with the billions of U.S. taxes in Afghanistan: “USAID kept this information from Congress and the American people. As a former federal prosecutor and congressional investigator, to me it begs the questions: What were they trying to hide, and why?“-John Sopko, SIGAR

Also, SIGAR reports that your ‘elected’ officials have decided to leave/give to the Afghan government $6-billion USD worth of military equipment, if the U.S. ever leaves Afghanistan.

An Oklahoma Army National Guard veteran, called a hero for what he did in Afghanistan, is now charged with murdering his own uncle.

The Army National Guard’s 877th Engineer Battalion and 1305th Survey and Design Team (Alabama) have been ordered to deploy to Afghanistan.

False Flag MH370 update: Expert says if there ain’t no wreckage then the plane ain’t there! It’s in Afghanistan?

15 April 2014 (23:32 UTC-07 Tango 14 April 2014)/14 Jumada t-Tania 1435/26 Farvardin 1393/16 Wu-Chen 4712

“Pilots are not guilty; the plane was hijacked by unknown terrorists. We know that the name of the terrorist who gave instructions to pilots is ‘Hitch’. The plane is in Afghanistan not far from Kandahar near the border with Pakistan.”-Unnamed Russia FSB agent

CNN interviewed an expert in deep ocean searches, he’s involved in about 30 research trips to the Titanic. Paul-Henry Nargeolet explained that there is no way a large plane hitting the rolling ocean  wouldn’t “explode” into smaller pieces, he stressed that he was “100% sure” on that.

He was then asked about the strange fact that, so far, no wreckage has been found.  Here’s his expert response based on his experience: “From my point of view, if we don’t see any debris, the plane is not there! It so simple, you know!” 

Nargeolet also explained that all airliner pingers are the same: “….all the pingers are the same. Same frequency, all the same signal, there is no distinction……”

Before Nargeolet’s interview with CNN, Russian FSB (Federal’naya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti Rossiyskoy Federatsii) announced they have reason to believe that MH370/CZ748 was hijacked and flown to a secret U.S. airbase in Afghanistan.

By the way, far more than $100-million of your tax dollars have been spent looking for this so called missing plane: “Search for MH370 to be most expensive in aviation history”–Reuters

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: California cops shoot and beat old man, after they killed him!

14 April 2014 (03:05 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

In East Hollywood, a homeless man between the ages of 70 and 80 stole a bag of ice from a 99 Cent store.  Supposedly he was armed with a knife.  Responding police tazed him then shot and killed him.  Witnesses say the ass hole cops then shot him four more times, and then beat him: “They shot him four times, and he was already dead! He fell on the bag of ice that he stole, and then, all of a sudden, there’s this other police guy that comes and hits him two times with a stick.”-‘Maria’

Evil NAZI Red Coat cops; they’re one reason why you have the right to defend yourself with a gun!

Do your historical research; the evil British Red Coat empire cops would beat, stab, shoot, kill and then steal from the American colonists.  This is one of many reasons why 1776 and the creation of the United States happened!  Is it time to get all 1776 against these neo-Red Coats?

U.S. Department of Justice concludes your local ‘christian’ police are pure evil!

U.S. Civil War 2014: Supreme Court judge wants to get rid of first six Amendments, make it a crime to own guns!

14 April 2014 (02:49 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

Retired U.S. Supreme Court associate judge, John Paul Stevens, has published a book calling for the end of the current U.S. Constitution.

The book is called Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution.  Stevens claims that most Supreme Court judges view the 2nd Amendment as referring only to maintaining a military, and not to individual citizens.

Here’s a reality check: If the current U.S. Constitution is thrown away, then it’s proof the United States I defended during the Cold War and beyond no longer exists, and I wasted my time.  The oath of allegiance for members of the military is to defend the current Constitution, not some future police state constitution that destroys my rights!

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: Gun owners in New York will become official criminals on Tuesday! Cops to come after them!

14 April 2014 (02:33 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

On 15 April 2014, anybody who owns an ‘assault type’ rifle must make it known to New York state NAZI officials, or go to prison as a felon!

The new anti-Constitution law is called SAFE Act.  Police have already been issued a “field guide” as to how to go after supporters of the 2nd Amendment.

The new law also bans sales of guns with “military features”.  Also, New York gun owners can’t sell their guns inside the state, and even if they sell their guns outside the state of New York, they must notify police!!!

But it sounds like a lot of New York gun owners are wimping out to tyranny as gun associations are reporting that members are either modifying their guns to meet the new laws, or getting rid of their guns altogether.

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: Connecticut news media outright lie about ‘success’ of new anti-gun laws!

14 April 2014 (02:14 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

In an obvious anti-Constitution editorial, thedayConnecticut said “….there are strong indications the new law is doing what it was meant to do.”  The only ‘proof’ they offered was the revocation of 1747 pistol permits, and 38209 declarations regarding magazine ownership!

They also said Gov’na Dannel P. Malloy “….announced on April 4 that more than 50,000 of the weapons have been registered and accounted for.”  That’s an outright lie, proven by statements made by the self-proclaimed “Master” of Connecticut, state boss cop Paul Vance, who said this about the “accounted for” new background checks: “We’re still in the processing stage. We have no plans over and above that.”

Vance stressed that the new anti-gun laws aren’t even being enforced, due to administrative and logistical reasons!  One of the new laws says you’ll go to prison for five years for not revealing to the state government that you own a gun!

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: NYC EMT arrested for blank guns & fireworks!

14 April 2014 (01:57 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

“I told them where everything was. I told them they were guns that shoot blanks, like the ones they use at races.”-Victor Cadicamo, EMT now in Rikers Island Prison without trial

On 10 April 2014, a New York City Emergency Medical Technician was arrested for what the NAZI cops said were guns and explosives.

The EMT is still in jail, but swears the guns can only shoot blanks, and the bombs were fireworks.

He was arrested after his wife claimed he was threatening her with a gun.  He was also charged with the crime of being “menacing”!  How do you define that f*cked up law?

More Economic decline for Idaho: Coldwater Creek now busted! All remaining stores to shutdown!

14 April 2014 (00:59 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

On 11 April 2014 (and as I warned back on 11 February 2014) Idaho based women’s clothing retailer Coldwater Creek went Chapter 11, meaning it is now toast, the show is over, all stores to close down!  6-thousand jobs across the United States lost!

It’s blamed on the suck ass economy: “While we are extremely disappointed with this outcome, the company’s declining liquidity position and the challenging retail environment, together with the fact that we have exhausted all other possibilities, requires that we take this action.”-Jill Dean, CEO
