'This Is Like War' - Mayor Of Migrant-Flooded Town Tells Of 'Selfie Fires' And Self-Inflicted Starvation

$

Slovenia is being overwhelmed by the migrant crisis, particularly in the small town of Brezice where the local mayor has likened the situation to a warzone and called on Germany to intervene. Brezice sits right on the border of Slovenia and Croatia, which in recent days has become the focus of the migrant crisis in the region. In the last 24 hours alone more than 12,000 migrants have crossed into Slovenia, with thousands more expected to follow. The mayor of Brezice, 52-year-old Ivan Molan, has been interviewed by the German news magazine Der Spiegel about the effect the crisis is having on his town. He described the current situation as the biggest loss of control and largest state of emergency of his ten-year tenure. It has been alleged by the likes of the BBC that a lack of water and food, coupled with a delay in processing, led to angry scenes with migrants setting fire to the tents in which they were housed. The mayor, however, gives another explanation. Mr. Molan showed his interviewer a picture on his cell phone of discarded bread and other food lying on the ground. He explained: "We organise food and water.But some refugees refuse it in order to increase the pressure, so we let them move on. 50 to 100 Slovenian assistants are available around the clock. The system does not work perfectly, but it works. The best proof is that there were no major conflicts." The interviewer pointed out that although there may have been no major acts of violence, over half the tents intended to house the migrants had been set of fire. Mr. Molan responded: "That's the way many refugees force their onward journey. Some take selfies before the burning tents . If I were in their place I would be happy to be in a safe country and have a drink and get to eat. But they are not satisfied with what they have." Mr. Molan said his town is in the vicinity of a nuclear power plant and is hit by occasional flooding and even the odd earthquake, but the impact of the migrant crisis is "much more serious". He says it restricts the life of everyone in the community, both the 24,000 inhabitants and the authorities who have to deal with it. Furthermore, Mr. Molan says that he fears Austria's decision to close its borders as he believes Slovenia cannot cope alone. In his opinion, if the German government is sincere in its welcome to refugees then it should send trains to collect those in Croatia, alleviating their suffering. Mr. Molan believes that realistically Slovenia can only house "2,000 people, nothing more" citing the country's relative economic weakness and ability of local communities to integrate newcomers. He wants the remaining migrants to travel to countries with stronger economies. The recent decision of the Slovenian government to amend the law in order to allow the army to help police the border will not solve the crisis, Mr. Molan said. He pointed out that they are only there to assist the police with registering the migrants and that will do nothing to prevent trouble coming into the country. He offered his suggested solution: "We must resolve the crisis in Syria and the other countries refugees come from. The must step up its efforts for peace in Syria and support Turkey and Greece in dealing with the situation." Mr. Molan ended by giving a stark warning of the consequences of failure to solve the migrant crisis: "Sooner or later, more than a million refugees will have come to the EU. This could shatter the international community." 23 Oct 2015 http://tjc.z6.sl.pt

Top Eurocrat FINALLY Admits EU 'Glory Years' Are Over As UK 'Stay' Vote Tumbles

Europe has become a "valley of fears" as its "glorious years" have come to an end, top Eurocrat Jean-Claude Juncker has admitted. In a downbeat assessment of the trading bloc's immediate future, the president of the European Commission told an audience in Madrid the continent is now in the shadow of the rest of the world but he had faith in the "simple people" to set things right. "Economically, we see the end of Europe's glorious years compared with what others are doing," Mr Juncker said on Wednesday night. The "dream" of a unified continent is at risk from "fissures and fractures" of national divisions and separatist movements, he continued, before adding: "The European Union is not going very well, and so we must ensure that we keep alive the ambitions, hopes and dreams of Europe." Mr Juncker, who is a former prime minister of Luxembourg, then prescribed what he believes is the simple problem facing the European "project" in 2015: "There is not enough Union in Europe". But he maintained this was an argument for the EU sticking together. "The time has not arrived for us to re-divide the national leagues and classes, now is the time to ensure that the EU stays together," he said. Mr Juncker likened contemporary Europe to the vale of tears, the Biblical term for the sorrows of life on earth. "When I'm on another continent, I see eyes shine when those I visit talk about Europe. And when I return to Brussels or Luxembourg, I find myself in a valley of fears, a valle Lacrimarum. We do not know who we are, and we are not proud of the solid achievements of our predecessors." In a separate speech to the European People's Party, Mr Juncker said he would focus on "social Europe" - that is, employment rights - to win the support of "simple" people."We can't lose the people who always believed in us, the simple people who work, who aren't any less intelligent than the elites. They've always supported Europe and it is about reconquering their heart." At a conference in Brussels yesterday, Mr Juncker's First Vice President Frans Timmermans continued that theme by warning that the growing migrant crisis could bring the final end of the EU. "The challenge to the European project today is existential. The refugee crisis has brought that to light," he said. "What was unimaginable before now becomes imaginable, namely the disintegration of the European project."There is quite a strong lack of trust between member states. We need to get out of this."We've lost track of what we share or the common destiny we should be building and we're looking ahead especially at the differences between us. This is an old European illness." The Juncker/Timmermans assessment of Europe's frailties comes as British support for staying in the EU has tumbled over the past four months as an influx of migrants into Europe has pushed many voters towards opting for an exit, the Ipsos MORI pollster said on Thursday. In one of the starkest illustrations to date of how the migrant crisis may be polarising British views of Europe, an Ipsos MORI poll showed 52 per cent of Britons would vote to stay in the EU, down from a record 61 per cent in June. Reuters reports support for a British exit rose to 39 per cent, the highest level since 2012, up from 27 per cent in June. That more than halves the "in" lead to 13 percentage points from 34 points in June. 23 Oct 2015 http://tjd.35.sl.pt

US Military JASSM Missile for US Air Force

Published on Oct 25, 2015 The US Military AGM-158 JASSM Missile for US Air Force combat aircraft is a great idea to improve US Military power. The AGM-158 JASSM (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile) is a low observable standoff air-launched cruise missile developed in the United States. It is a large, semi-stealthy long-range weapon of the 2,000 pounds (910 kg) class. The missile's development began in 1995, but a number of problems during testing delayed its introduction into service until 2009. As of 2014, the JASSM has entered foreign service in Australia and Finland, and been ordered by Poland. An extended range version of the missile, the AGM-158B JASSM-ER (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile-Extended Range), entered service in 2014. Program overview: The JASSM project began in 1995 after the cancellation of the AGM-137 TSSAM project. The TSSAM was designed as a high precision stealthy missile for use at stand-off ranges, but poor management of the project resulted in rising costs. Since the requirement for such weapons still existed, the military quickly announced a follow-up project with similar goals. Initial contracts for two competing designs were awarded to Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas in 1996, and the missile designations AGM-1595A and AGM-159A were allocated to the two weapons. Lockheed Martin's AGM-158A won and a contract for further development was awarded in 1998. The AGM-158A is powered by a Teledyne CAE J402 turbojet. Before flight the wings are kept folded to reduce size. Upon launch the wings flip out automatically. There is a single vertical tail. Guidance is via inertial navigation with updating from a global positioning system. Target recognition and terminal homing is via an imaging infrared seeker. A data link allows the missile to transmit its location and status during flight, allowing improved bomb damage assessment. The warhead is a WDU-42/B 450 kg (1000 lb) penetrator. The JASSM will be carried by a wide range of aircraft: the F-15E, F-16, F/A-18, F-35, B-1B, B-2 and B-52 are all intended to carry the weapon. The Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) has suggested lightening the warhead of the AGM-158A to increase its range. That way it would be able to be fired a greater distance from enemy air defenses while being cheaper and available in greater numbers for protracted conflicts than the AGM-158B JASSM-ER variant.

US Air Force B 52 bomber aircraft

Published on Sep 23, 2015This has been a great aircraft bomber for the Us air force The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons. Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight-wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name Stratofortress is rarely used in informal circumstances, and it has become common to refer to the aircraft as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fucker). The B-52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955. As of 2012, 85 were in active service with nine in reserve. The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was deactivated in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command (ACC); in 2010 all B-52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the new Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite the advent of later, more advanced aircraft, including the canceled Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie, the variable-geometry B-1 Lancer, and the stealth B-2 Spirit. The B-52 completed fifty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2005; after being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, it is expected to serve into the 2040s

After 52-year ban, Syrian Kurds now taught Kurdish in schools

DARBASIYAH, Syria - When children enrolled for the 2015-2016 school year in areas of Syrian Kurdistan controlled by the Democratic Union Party (PYD) and its allies, the new curricula and educational system surprised many residents. The autonomous government in western Syria had in 2014 made the decision to teach the Kurdish language in schools. Thus Kurdish was added to the curricula for grades one through three, and Kurdish was designated a language of instruction in the other grades. It is an unprecedented step, as under Baath Party rule, Kurdish had been banned in Syrian schools since 1963. Teaching Kurdish was forbidden, and anyone caught teaching it faced arrest. The decision to adopt Kurdish in schools was rejected by some residents, including Kurds. Those opposing it consider the measure a partisan effort that is not beneficial in the educational system and claim it could lead to a drop in attendance. In 2014, governing authorities in the Kurdish areas secured funding for printing books to teach Kurdish, training teachers and developing a professional staff to oversee children's education. Authorities believe that teaching children their native language is essential to creating a generation that loves its homeland. Akram Hissou, chairman of the Executive Council of the Democratic Self-Management in al-Jazeera province, told Al-Monitor, "Teaching the mother tongue in schools is a form of practicing cultural rights. These rights are a priority in practicing democracy in any country. When the Democratic Self-Administration decided, via the education committee, to teach the curricula in the mother tongue as well as Syriac and Arabic, it created an opportunity to teach in different languages for the purpose of applying democracy and preserving the heritage of all of Rojava's coexisting components." Hissou added, "We, as a the general coordination for the Democratic Self-Administration in Rojava, decided to support the decision with all available means. We will not back down because the ability to apply democracy is in line with Rojava's decision. The Democratic Self-Administration has the potential to build a new Syria, a united federal Syria for everyone. Thus, we would be able to apply democracy on all Syrian territories." Before the outbreak of the revolution in 2011, Syrian minorities, including Kurds, Assyrians and Turkmen, were only taught Arabic in schools, to the exclusion of their mother tongues. Mezkin Ali, a Kurdish student currently learning the Kurdish language, plans to become a teacher so she can instruct others in the language. She told Al-Monitor, "In the past, we were not allowed to speak our mother tongue among each other as students. The current situation is like a dream for many Kurds. I am really happy to learn my mother tongue and teach it to my Arab friends who don't know it. This way we can understand each other when discussing life." The Democratic Self-Administration is training staff in early childhood education. The Syrian government has yet to approve this decision, and Kurdish political parties disapprove of it, but the autonomous government is nonetheless moving forward. Sozdar Mohammad al-Mohammad, a member of the Kurdish language movement and a supervisor for the Kurdish education sector who studied at the Faculty of Sociology at the University of Tishreen, told Al-Monitor, "Despite the difficulties we are currently experiencing, we are certain that success is ours, because we have enough staff to teach the Arabic and Kurdish languages

Never Forget - Your Country Admits to False Flag Terror Posted on September 11, 2015 by WashingtonsBlog Presidents, Prime Ministers, Congressmen, Generals, Spooks, Soldiers and Police ADMIT to False Flag Terror In the following instances, officials in the government which carried out the attack (or seriously proposed an attack) admit to it, either orally, in writing, or through photographs or videos: (1) Japanese troops set off a small explosion on a train track in 1931, and falsely blamed it on China in order to justify an invasion of Manchuria. This is known as the "Mukden Incident" or the "Manchurian Incident". The Tokyo International Military Tribunal found: "Several of the participators in the plan, including Hashimoto , have on various occasions admitted their part in the plot and have stated that the object of the 'Incident' was to afford an excuse for the occupation of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army ...." And see this. (2) A major with the Nazi SS admitted at the Nuremberg trials that - under orders from the chief of the Gestapo - he and some other Nazi operatives faked attacks on their own people and resources which they blamed on the Poles, to justify the invasion of Poland. (3) Nazi general Franz Halder also testified at the Nuremberg trials that Nazi leader Hermann Goering admitted to setting fire to the German parliament building in 1933, and then falsely blaming the communists for the arson. (4) Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev admitted in writing that the Soviet Union's Red Army shelled the Russian village of Mainila in 1939 - while blaming the attack on Finland - as a basis for launching the "Winter War" against Finland. Russian president Boris Yeltsin agreed that Russia had been the aggressor in the Winter War. (5) The Russian Parliament, current Russian president Putin and former Soviet leader Gorbachev all admit that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin ordered his secret police to execute 22,000 Polish army officers and civilians in 1940, and then falsely blamed it on the Nazis. (6) The British government admits that - between 1946 and 1948 - it bombed 5 ships carrying Jews attempting to flee the Holocaust to seek safety in Palestine, set up a fake group called "Defenders of Arab Palestine", and then had the psuedo-group falsely claim responsibility for the bombings (and see this, this and this). (7) Israel admits that in 1954, an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind "evidence" implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers, and several of the Israelis later confessed) (and see this and this). (8) The CIA admits that it hired Iranians in the 1950's to pose as Communists and stage bombings in Iran in order to turn the country against its democratically-elected prime minister. (9) The Turkish Prime Minister admitted that the Turkish government carried out the 1955 bombing on a Turkish consulate in Greece - also damaging the nearby birthplace of the founder of modern Turkey - and blamed it on Greece, for the purpose of inciting and justifying anti-Greek violence. (10) The British Prime Minister admitted to his defense secretary that he and American president Dwight Eisenhower approved a plan in 1957 to carry out attacks in Syria and blame it on the Syrian government as a way to effect regime change. (11) The former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people's support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: "You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security" (and see this) (Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred). And watch this BBC special. They also allegedly carried out terror attacks in France, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the UK, and other countries. False flag attacks carried out pursuant to this program include - by way of example only: The murder of the Turkish Prime Minister (1960) Bombings in Portugal (1966) The Piazza Fontana massacre in Italy (1969) Terror attacks in Turkey (1971) The Peteano bombing in Italy (1972) Shootings in Brescia, Italy and a bombing on an Italian train (1974) Shootings in Istanbul, Turkey (1977) The Atocha massacre in Madrid, Spain (1977) The abduction and murder of the Italian Prime Minister (1978) The bombing of the Bologna railway station in Italy (1980) Shooting and killing 28 shoppers in Brabant county, Belgium (1985) (12) In 1960, American Senator George Smathers suggested that the U.S. launch "a false attack made on Guantanamo Bay which would give us the excuse of actually fomenting a fight which would then give us the excuse to go in and ". (13) Official State Department documents show that, in 1961, the head of the Joint Chiefs and other high-level officials discussed blowing up a consulate in the Dominican Republic in order to justify an invasion of that country. The plans were not carried out, but they were all discussed as serious proposals. (14) As admitted by the U.S. government, recently declassified documents show that in 1962, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil , and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See the following ABC news report; the official documents; and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. (15) In 1963, the U.S. Department of Defense wrote a paper promoting attacks on nations within the Organization of American States - such as Trinidad-Tobago or Jamaica - and then falsely blaming them on Cuba. (16) The U.S. Department of Defense even suggested covertly paying a person in the Castro government to attack the United States: "The only area remaining for consideration then would be to bribe one of Castro's subordinate commanders to initiate an attack on Guantanamo." (17) The NSA admits that it lied about what really happened in the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 ... manipulating data to make it look like North Vietnamese boats fired on a U.S. ship so as to create a false justification for the Vietnam war. (18) A U.S. Congressional committee admitted that - as part of its "Cointelpro" campaign - the FBI had used many provocateurs in the 1950s through 1970s to carry out violent acts and falsely blame them on political activists. (19) A top Turkish general admitted that Turkish forces burned down a mosque on Cyprus in the 1970s and blamed it on their enemy. He explained: "In Special War, certain acts of sabotage are staged and blamed on the enemy to increase public resistance. We did this on Cyprus; we even burnt down a mosque." In response to the surprised correspondent's incredulous look the general said, "I am giving an example". (20) A declassified 1973 CIA document reveals a program to train foreign police and troops on how to make booby traps, pretending that they were training them on how to investigate terrorist acts: The Agency maintains liaison in varying degrees with foreign police/security organizations through its field stations .... a. Providing trainees with basic knowledge in the uses of commercial and military demolitions and incendiaries as they may be applied in terrorism and industrial sabotage operations. b. Introducing the trainees to commercially available materials and home laboratory techniques , likely to he used in the manufacture of explosives and incendiaries by terrorists or saboteurs. c. Familiarizing the trainees with the concept of target analysis and operational planning that a saboteur or terrorist must employ. d. Introducing the trainees to booby trapping devices and techniques giving practical experience with both manufactured and improvised devices through actual fabrication . *** The program provides the trainees with ample opportunity to develop basic familiarity and use proficiently through handling, preparing and applying the various explosive charges, incendiary agents, terrorist devices and sabotage techniques . (21) The German government admitted (and see this) that, in 1978, the German secret service detonated a bomb in the outer wall of a prison and planted "escape tools" on a prisoner - a member of the Red Army Faction - which the secret service wished to frame the bombing on. (22) A Mossad agent admits that, in 1984, Mossad planted a radio transmitter in Gaddaffi's compound in Tripoli, Libya which broadcast fake terrorist trasmissions recorded by Mossad, in order to frame Gaddaffi as a terrorist supporter. Ronald Reagan bombed Libya immediately thereafter. (23) The South African Truth and Reconciliation Council found that, in 1989, the Civil Cooperation Bureau (a covert branch of the South African Defense Force) approached an explosives expert and asked him "to participate in an operation aimed at discrediting the ANC by bombing the police vehicle of the investigating officer into the murder incident", thus framing the ANC for the bombing. (24) An Algerian diplomat and several officers in the Algerian army admit that, in the 1990s, the Algerian army frequently massacred Algerian civilians and then blamed Islamic militants for the killings (and see this video; and Agence France-Presse, 9/27/2002, French Court Dismisses Algerian Defamation Suit Against Author). (25) The United States Army's 1994 publication Special Forces Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces - updated in 2004 - recommends employing terrorists and using false flag operations to destabilize leftist regimes in Latin America. False flag terrorist attacks were carried out in Latin America and other regions as part of the CIA's "Dirty Wars". And see this. (26) Similarly, a CIA "psychological operations" manual prepared by a CIA contractor for the Nicaraguan Contra rebels noted the value of assassinating someone on your own side to create a "martyr" for the cause. The manual was authenticated by the U.S. government. The manual received so much publicity from Associated Press, Washington Post and other news coverage that - during the 1984 presidential debate - President Reagan was confronted with the following question on national television: At this moment, we are confronted with the extraordinary story of a CIA guerrilla manual for the anti-Sandinista contras whom we are backing, which advocates not only assassinations of Sandinistas but the hiring of criminals to assassinate the guerrillas we are supporting in order to create martyrs. (27) An Indonesian fact-finding team investigated violent riots which occurred in 1998, and determined that "elements of the military had been involved in the riots, some of which were deliberately provoked". (28) Senior Russian Senior military and intelligence officers admit that the KGB blew up Russian apartment buildings in 1999 and falsely blamed it on Chechens, in order to justify an invasion of Chechnya (and see this report and this discussion). (29) As reported by BBC, the New York Times, and Associated Press, Macedonian officials admit that the government murdered 7 innocent immigrants in cold blood and pretended that they were Al Qaeda soldiers attempting to assassinate Macedonian police, in order to join the "war on terror". (30) At the July 2001 G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy, black-clad thugs were videotaped getting out of police cars, and were seen by an Italian MP carrying "iron bars inside the police station". Subsequently, senior police officials in Genoa subsequently admitted that police planted two Molotov cocktails and faked the stabbing of a police officer at the G8 Summit, in order to justify a violent crackdown against protesters. (31) The U.S. falsely blamed Iraq for playing a role in the 9/11 attacks - as shown by a memo from the defense secretary - as one of the main justifications for launching the Iraq war. Even after the 9/11 Commission admitted that there was no connection, Dick Cheney said that the evidence is"overwhelming" that al Qaeda had a relationship with Saddam Hussein's regime, that Cheney "probably" had information unavailable to the Commission, and that the media was not 'doing their homework' in reporting such ties. Top U.S. government officials now admit that the Iraq war was really launched for oil ... not 9/11 or weapons of mass destruction. Despite previous "lone wolf" claims, many U.S. government officials now say that 9/11 was state-sponsored terror; but Iraq was not the state which backed the hijackers. (Many U.S. officials have alleged that 9/11 was a false flag operation by rogue elements of the U.S. government; but such a claim is beyond the scope of this discussion. The key point is that the U.S. falsely blamed it on Iraq, when it knew Iraq had nothing to do with it.). (32) Although the FBI now admits that the 2001 anthrax attacks were carried out by one or more U.S. government scientists, a senior FBI official says that the FBI was actually told to blame the Anthrax attacks on Al Qaeda by White House officials (remember what the anthrax letters looked like). Government officials also confirm that the white House tried to link the anthrax to Iraq as a justification for regime change in that country. (33) According to the Washington Post, Indonesian police admit that the Indonesian military killed American teachers in Papua in 2002 and blamed the murders on a Papuan separatist group in order to get that group listed as a terrorist organization. (34) The well-respected former Indonesian president also admits that the government probably had a role in the Bali bombings. (35) Police outside of a 2003 European Union summit in Greece were filmed planting Molotov cocktails on a peaceful protester (36) Former Department of Justice lawyer John Yoo suggested in 2005 that the US should go on the offensive against al-Qaeda, having "our intelligence agencies create a false terrorist organization . It could have its own websites, recruitment centers, training camps, and fundraising operations. It could launch fake terrorist operations and claim credit for real terrorist strikes, helping to sow confusion within al-Qaeda's ranks, causing operatives to doubt others' identities and to question the validity of communications." (37) Similarly, in 2005, Professor John Arquilla of the Naval Postgraduate School - a renowned US defense analyst credited with developing the concept of 'netwar' - called for western intelligence services to create new "pseudo gang" terrorist groups , as a way of undermining "real" terror networks. According to Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Seymour Hersh, Arquilla's 'pseudo-gang' strategy was, Hersh reported, already being implemented by the Pentagon:"Under Rumsfeld's new approach, I was told, US military operatives would be permitted to pose abroad as corrupt foreign businessmen seeking to buy contraband items that could be used in nuclear-weapons systems. In some cases, according to the Pentagon advisers, local citizens could be recruited and asked to join up with guerrillas or terrorists ... The new rules will enable the Special Forces community to set up what it calls 'action teams' in the target countries overseas which can be used to find and eliminate terrorist organizations. 'Do you remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador?' the former high-level intelligence official asked me, referring to the military-led gangs that committed atrocities in the early nineteen-eighties. 'We founded them and we financed them,' he said. 'The objective now is to recruit locals in any area we want. And we aren't going to tell Congress about it.' A former military officer, who has knowledge of the Pentagon's commando capabilities, said, 'We're going to be riding with the bad boys.'" (38) United Press International reported in June 2005: U.S. intelligence officers are reporting that some of the insurgents in Iraq are using recent-model Beretta 92 pistols, but the pistols seem to have had their serial numbers erased. The numbers do not appear to have been physically removed; the pistols seem to have come off a production line without any serial numbers. Analysts suggest the lack of serial numbers indicates that the weapons were intended for intelligence operations or terrorist cells with substantial government backing. Analysts speculate that these guns are probably from either Mossad or the CIA. Analysts speculate that agent provocateurs may be using the untraceable weapons even as U.S. authorities use insurgent attacks against civilians as evidence of the illegitimacy of the resistance. (39) Undercover Israeli soldiers admitted in 2005 to throwing stones at other Israeli soldiers so they could blame it on Palestinians, as an excuse to crack down on peaceful protests by the Palestinians. (40) Quebec police admitted that, in 2007, thugs carrying rocks to a peaceful protest were actually undercover Quebec police officers (and see this). (41) A 2008 US Army special operations field manual recommends that the U.S. military use surrogate non-state groups such as "paramilitary forces, individuals, businesses, foreign political organizations, resistant or insurgent organizations, expatriates, transnational terrorism adversaries, disillusioned transnational terrorism members , black marketers, and other social or political 'undesirables.'" The manual specifically acknowledged that U.S. special operations can involve both counterterrorism and "Terrorism" (as well as "transnational criminal activities, including narco-trafficking, illicit arms-dealing, and illegal financial transactions.") (42) The former head of Secret Services and Head of State of Italy (Francesco Cossiga) advised the 2008 minister in charge of the police, on how to deal with protests from teachers and students: He should do what I did when I was Minister of the Interior ... infiltrate the movement with agents provocateurs inclined to do anything .... And after that, with the strength of the gained population consent, ... beat them for blood and beat for blood also those teachers that incite them. Especially the teachers. Not the elderly, of course, but the girl teachers yes. (43) At the G20 protests in London in 2009, a British member of parliament saw plain clothes police officers attempting to incite the crowd to violence. (44) Egyptian politicians admitted (and see this ) that government employees looted priceless museum artifacts in 2011 to try to discredit the protesters. (45) Rioters who discredited the peaceful protests against the swearing in of the Mexican president in 2012 admitted that they were paid 300 pesos each to destroy everything in their path. According to Wikipedia, photos also show the vandals waiting in groups behind police lines prior to the violence. (46) A Colombian army colonel has admitted that his unit murdered 57 civilians, then dressed them in uniforms and claimed they were rebels killed in combat. (47) On November 20, 2014, Mexican agent provocateurs were transported by army vehicles to participate in the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping protests, as was shown by videos and pictures distributed via social networks. (48) The highly-respected writer for the Telegraph Ambrose Evans-Pritchard says that the head of Saudi intelligence - Prince Bandar - recently admitted that the Saudi government controls "Chechen" terrorists. (49) High-level American sources admitted that the Turkish government - a fellow NATO country - carried out the chemical weapons attacks blamed on the Syrian government; and high-ranking Turkish government admitted on tape plans to carry out attacks and blame it on the Syrian government. (50) The Ukrainian security chief admits that the sniper attacks which started the Ukrainian coup were carried out in order to frame others. Ukrainian officials admit that the Ukrainian snipers fired on both sides, to create maximum chaos. And a Maidan protester admitted that he fired a sniper rifle at police from the Conservatory, and that he was guided by a military veteran within the Maidan resistance. (51) Britain's spy agency has admitted (and see this ) that it carries out "digital false flag" attacks on targets, framing people by writing offensive or unlawful material ... and blaming it on the target. (52) U.S. soldiers have admitted that if they kill innocent Iraqis and Afghanis, they then "drop" automatic weapons near their body so they can pretend they were militants (53) Similarly, police frame innocent people for crimes they didn't commit. The practice is so well-known that the New York Times noted in 1981: In police jargon, a throwdown is a weapon planted on a victim. Newsweek reported in 1999: Perez, himself a former cop, was caught stealing eight pounds of cocaine from police evidence lockers. After pleading guilty in September, he bargained for a lighter sentence by telling an appalling story of attempted murder and a "throwdown"-police slang for a weapon planted by cops to make a shooting legally justifiable . Perez said he and his partner, Officer Nino Durden, shot an unarmed 18th Street Gang member named Javier Ovando, then planted a semiautomatic rifle on the unconscious suspect and claimed that Ovando had tried to shoot them during a stakeout. Wikipedia notes: As part of his plea bargain, P'erez implicated scores of officers from the Rampart Division's anti-gang unit, describing routinely beating gang members, planting evidence on suspects, falsifying reports and covering up unprovoked shootings . (As a side note - and while not technically false flag attacks - police have been busted framing innocent people in many other ways , as well.) (54) A former U.S. intelligence officer recently alleged : Most terrorists are false flag terrorists or are created by our own security services. (55) The head and special agent in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles office said that most terror attacks are committed by the CIA and FBI as false flags. Similarly, the director of the National Security Agency under Ronald Reagan - Lt. General William Odom said: By any measure the US has long used terrorism. In '78-79 the Senate was trying to pass a law against international terrorism - in every version they produced, the lawyers said the US would be in violation. (audio here). (56) Leaders throughout history have acknowledged the "benefits" of of false flags to justify their political agenda:" Terrorism is the best political weapon for nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death". - Adolph Hitler"Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked , and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goering, Nazi leader."The easiest way to gain control of a population is to carry out acts of terror. will clamor for such laws if their personal security is threatened". - Josef Stalin Prior to 9/11 - Netanyahu in 2001 US Won't Get in the Way of Israeli Expansionism - Here's How I killed the Oslo Accords (click CC for subtitles) Postscript: Private parties - such as NBC News, as well as Muslims, Jews, Scientologists, African-Americans and Neo-Nazis - play this game as well.

US Air Force B 52 bomber aircraft

Published on Sep 23, 2015This has been a great aircraft bomber for the Us air force The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000 kg) of weapons. Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight-wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name Stratofortress is rarely used in informal circumstances, and it has become common to refer to the aircraft as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fucker). The B-52 has been in active service with the USAF since 1955. As of 2012, 85 were in active service with nine in reserve. The bombers flew under the Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was deactivated in 1992 and its aircraft absorbed into the Air Combat Command (ACC); in 2010 all B-52 Stratofortresses were transferred from the ACC to the new Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC). Superior performance at high subsonic speeds and relatively low operating costs have kept the B-52 in service despite the advent of later, more advanced aircraft, including the canceled Mach 3 B-70 Valkyrie, the variable-geometry B-1 Lancer, and the stealth B-2 Spirit. The B-52 completed fifty years of continuous service with its original operator in 2005; after being upgraded between 2013 and 2015, it is expected to serve into the 2040s

French police are hunting for Main Suspect Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old born in Brussels, wanted in connection to Friday's attacks in Paris. Police have warned that he is very dangerous. French police are still hunting for three gunmen on the run, including Brussels-born Frenchman Salah Abdeslam, and an ISIS bombmaker likely to have made the suicide vests. An international arrest warrant has been issued for Abdeslam, 26, who is accused of renting a Volkswagen Polo used by the suicide bombers. He is one of three brothers believed to be at the heart of the eight-strong ISIS cell. Two other men were also in the Seat car. At the time, officers in Paris knew that Abdeslam had rented the car used by the killers which had been abandoned near the theatre but the information had not been transmitted to those responsible for conducting the border checks. His brother Ibrahim, 31, blew himself up in a solo attack outside cafe Comptoir Voltaire after renting a black Seat found abandoned today filled with AK-47s and ammunition. A third sibling, named as Mohamed Abdeslam, has been arrested in the Belgian capital.

Words from ISIS about Downed Russian Plane and Attacks in Paris [Dabiq #12]

Article taken from Dabiq Magazine issue 12. {They thought that their fortresses would protect them from Allah; but Allah came upon them from where they had not expected, and He cast terror into their hearts so they destroyed their homes by their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O people of vision} . The divided crusaders of the East and West thought themselves safe in their jets as they cowardly bombarded the Muslims of the Khilafah. {They will not fight you all except within fortified cities or from behind walls} . But Allah c decreed that punishment befall the warring crusaders from where they had not expected. Thus, the blessed attacks against the Russians and the French were successfully executed despite the international intelligence war against the Islamic State. Both crusader nations had undoubtedly destroyed their homes with their own hands through their hostilities towards Islam, the Muslims, and the Muslim body of the Khilafah. On "30 September 2015," after years of supporting the Nusayri taghut in the war against the Muslims of Sham, Russia decided to participate directly with its own air force in the war. It was a rash decision of arrogance from Russia, as if it held that its wars against the Muslims of al-Qawqaz were not enough offence. And so after having discovered a way to compromise the security at the Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport and resolving to bring down a plane belonging to a nation in the American-led Western coalition against the Islamic State, the target was changed to a Russian plane. A bomb was smuggled onto the airplane, leading to the deaths of 219 Russians and 5 other crusaders only a month after Russia's thoughtless decision. A year earlier, on "19 September 2014," France haughtily began executing airstrikes against the Khilafah. Like Russia, it was blinded by hubris, thinking that its geographical distance from the lands of the Khilafah would protect it from the justice of the mujahidin. It also did not grasp that its mockery of the Messenger g would not be left unavenged. Thus, the Islamic State dispatched its brave knights to wage war in the homelands of the wicked crusaders, leaving Paris and its residents "shocked and awed." The eight knights brought Paris down on its knees, after years of French conceit in the face of Islam. A nationwide state of emergency was declared as a result of the actions of eight men armed only with assault rifles and explosive belts. And so revenge was exacted upon those who felt safe in the cockpits of their jets. Amirul-Mu'minin Abu Bakr al-Husayni al-Baghdadi (hafidhahullah) said, "By Allah, we will take revenge! By Allah, we will take revenge! Even if it takes a while, we will take revenge, and every amount of harm against the Ummah will be responded to with multitudes more against the perpetrator. {And those who, when tyranny strikes them, they defend themselves} . Soon, by Allah's permission, a day will come when the Muslim will walk everywhere as a master, having honor, being revered, with his head raised high, and his dignity preserved. Anyone who dares to offend him will be disciplined, and any hand that reaches out to harm him will be cut off. So let the world know that we are living today in a new era. Whoever was heedless must now be alert. Whoever was sleeping must now awaken. Whoever was shocked and awed must comprehend. The Muslims today have a loud, thundering statement, and possess heavy boots. They have a statement that will cause the world to hear and understand the meaning of terrorism, and boots that will trample the idol of nationalism, destroy the idol of democracy, and uncover its deviant nature" . Yes, by Allah, the Khilafah will take revenge for any aggression against its religion and people, sooner rather than later. Let the arrogant know that the skies and the lands are Allah's. {Musa said to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the final outcome is for the righteous} . So when will the crusaders end their hostilities towards Islam and the Muslims? When will they realize that the Khilafah is here to stay? When will they recognize that the solution to their pathetic turmoil is right before their blinded eyes? For until then, the just terror will continue to strike them to the core of their deadened hearts. On this occasion, we will not forget to commend the martyred "lone" knights of the Khilafah who struck out against the kafir and apostate enemies near them. These brave men were not content with merely hearing news about jihad battles, rather they distanced themselves from the traits of those who {would wish they were in the desert among the Bedouins, inquiring from afar about your news}, those who {if they were among you, they would not fight except for a little} . They did not use the obstacles laid down by the kuffar on the path to hijrah as an excuse to abandon jihad against the enemies. They did not use a younger age or lack of training as an excuse to be mere bystanders. They sacrificed their souls in the noblest of deeds in pursuit of Allah's pleasure. We consider them such, and Allah is their judge. Amongst these brave knights of tawhid and jihad was fifteen- year-old Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar, who on "2 October 2015" struck the crusaders of Australia and killed one of their personnel. Thereafter Faisal Mohammad carried the banner and his dagger to spear the crusaders of America on "4 November 2015," spilling their filthy blood in their insecure homeland. Earlier, on "10 October 2015," sixteenyear-old Ishaq Qasim Badran grabbed his blade and pierced citizens of the accursed Jewish state, filling the atmosphere with their screams. After Ishaq, Muhannad Khalil al-'Aqabi carried his own weapon into a high security train station on "18 October 2015" and killed a soldier from an "elite unit" belonging to the Jewish army, causing the other cowardly soldiers to retreat. And on "9 November 2015," Anwar Abu Zeid - after repenting from his former occupation - attacked the American crusaders and their apostate allies, killing two American crusaders, two Jordanian apostates, and one South African crusader. These are the deeds of those upon the methodology of the revived Khilafah. They will not let its enemies enjoy rest until enemy blood is spilled in revenge for the religion and the Ummah. So let every such muwahhid barred from hijrah purify himself of the branches of lesser hypocrisy that hold him back from performing jihad in his location. Let him record his will, renew his bay'ah, carry the Khilafah banner, and strike the crusaders and their pagan and apostate allies wherever he can find them, even if he is alone. And he should remember that {whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him} . And let the crusaders know that the Islamic State will remain despite all their military arsenal. {Say, "Do you await for us except one of the two best things while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or at our hands? So wait; indeed we, along with you, are waiting"} .

USAF's Oldest C-130 Hercules "Iron Horse" Has Been Sent To The Boneyard

The C-130 remains the flying backbone of America's combat forces. You need a pallet of crap moved from an air base to a dirt strip? No problem. You need a flying command post? No problem. You need to infiltrate below enemy radar to refuel helicopters in mid air? No problem. In fact, Iron Horse, the USAF's oldest C-130, has done all these things and more in its colorful life. The 'legacy' C-130 is a blue collar airplane. It doesn't have a ton of frills, it is loud, smokey, and well worn and many have multiple vocations under their belt. Yet they work so well that the USAF has trouble sending them out to pasture. Aircraft 62-1863, an HC-130P Combat King nicknamed "Iron Horse," is one of these planes. The 52 year old Iron Horse started out life as a nondescript C-130E, spending much of the 60s and early 70s hauling material and personnel around the Vietnam Theater of operations. It rambled on as a standard line C-130E for decades, spending many thousands of hours doing what C-130s do, which is just about everything having to do with logistics and wings.Somewhere in its mid-life, presumably in the early 1990s, 62-1863 was converted into one of the most important, albeit obscure, aircraft in the entire USAF inventory, the EC-130E Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center. These modified C-130s, of which about eight were put into service, were incredibly capable, versatile and economical flying multi-role command and control and data-fusion platforms. There broad mission is described by FAS.org: The EC-130E ABCCC consists of seven aircraft that are used as an Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center. The EC-130E is a modified C-130 "Hercules"; aircraft designed to carry the USC-48 Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center Capsules (ABCCC III). These one-of-a kind aircraft include the addition of external antennae to accommodate the vast number of radios in the capsule, heat exchanger pods for additional air conditioning, an aerial refueling system and special mounted rails for uploading and downloading the USC-48 capsule. The ABCCC has distinctive air conditioner intakes fore of the engines ("Mickey Mouse ears"), two HF radio probes-towards the tips of both wings, and three mushroom-shaped antennas on the top of the aircraft - and, of course, numerous antennas on the belly. As an Air Combat Command asset, ABCCC (A-B-Triple-C) is an integral part of the Tactical Air Control System. While functioning as a direct extension of ground-based command and control authorities, the primary mission is providing flexibility in the overall control of tactical air resources. In addition, to maintain positive control of air operations, ABCCC can provide communications to higher headquarters, including national command authorities, in both peace and wartime environments. The USC-48 ABCCC III capsule, which fits into the aircraft cargo compartment, measures 40 feet long, weighs approximately 20,000 pounds and costs $9 million each. The ABCCC provides unified and theater commanders an Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center (ABCCC), with the capability for combat operations during war, contingencies, exercises, and special classified missions. A highly trained force of mission ready crew members and specially equipped EC-130E aircraft to support worldwide combat operations. Mission roles include airborne extensions of the Air Operations Center (AOC) and Airborne Air Support Operations Center (ASOC) for command and control of Offensive Air Support (OAS) operations; and airborne on-scene command for special operations such as airdrops or evacuations. The ABCCC system is a high-tech automated airborne command and control facility featuring computer generated color displays, digitally controlled communications, and rapid data retrieval. The platform's 23 fully securable radios, secure teletype, and 15 automatic fully computerized consoles, allow the battlestaff to quickly analyze current combat situations and direct offensive air support towards fast-developing targets. ABCCC, is equipped with its most recent upgrade the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System, allows real-time accountability of airborne tracks to capsule displays through data links with AWACS E-3 "Sentry" aircraft. Iron Horse served at Davis Monthan AFB in Tuscon, AZ in the EC-130E role for about a decade, when the old "Herky Bird" was selected to undergo yet another transformation, this time into a combat search and rescue and special operations support tanker, known as a HC-130P Combat King. Iron Horse has been flying low-level blacked out aerial refueling missions, delivering PJs to their drop zones at all different altitudes, performing search and rescue missions and a whole slew of other cool crap for over ten years, flying with the 71st Rescue Squadron, based out of Moody AFB. Now, with some 27,533 hours on her 52 year old airframe, and with the much more capable and modern HC-130J Combat King II joining the fleet, Iron Horse has taken her last ride. Her final destination, like almost every other DoD bird that is no longer wanted or afforded, is her old home at Davis Monthan AFB, only this time she will sit in the 'back lot' instead of on the flightline. All the rest of the standard C-130Es are gone out of the USAF's inventory, being retired to the boneyard around the turn of the decade. Today, around 265 C-130Hs continue to soldier on, although their fleet size is in no way secure. A looming 2020 requirement for an expensive avionics upgrade , a program the DoD has bungled with for years, remains a moving budgetary target for these remaining 'legacy' C-130s. So enjoy these proud, reliable and hard worn smokey old birds while they still grace the skies. A lot of glory, courage and a whole slew of other stuff, some of it probably unimaginable, has passed through their cargo holds over the last five decades or so. Just imagine the stories Iron Horse and all its comrades could tell... http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/usafs-oldest-c-130-hercules-iron-horse-has-been-sent-1689811797

Voters to Obama: Yes, We Are at War with Radical Islam ( Rassmussen poll, 92% )

Shillary ohBama won't like this poll 92% of americans say radical islam IS a threat... global warming my ASS A Staggering 92% Of Voters: Yes, Hillary And Barack, There Is A Serious Threat From Radical Islam... 92% this means even the sickened whacko's of the party(D) are not drinking the kool aide . That goes for the 'lip service' politicians(D), they know whose ASS they have to kiss in 2016. Gonna be hard selling another 4 years of dope&shame President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other senior Democrats refuse to say America is at war with "radical Islamic terrorism" for fear of insulting all Muslims, but voters beg to disagree. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 60% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism. Just 24% share the president's position and disagree. Sixteen percent (16%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Even 56% of Democrats believe America is at war with radical Islamic terrorism, a view shared by 70% of Republicans and 54% of voters not affiliated with either major party. ******** A staggering 92% of all voters now regard radical Islamic terrorism as a serious threat to the United States. This includes 73% who say it is a Very Serious one, up 23 points from 50% in October of last year. ******** Voters are also more reluctant now to agree with Obama that the radical Islamic State group (ISIS) which masterminded the massacres in Paris last weekend is not a reflection of Islam itself. A plurality (46%) still thinks the president is right when he says ISIS does not represent true Islamic beliefs. But that's down noticeably from 58% who felt that way in February after the president gave a speech equating the atrocities committed by ISIS with past sins of Christianity. Thirty-five percent (35%) now believe ISIS does represent Islamic beliefs. One-in-five voters (19%) are not sure. (Want a free daily e-mail update ? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook . The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on November 17-18, 2015 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC . See methodology . Citing the links between Syrian refugees and the killings in Paris, more than two-dozen governors oppose Obama's plan to bring 10,000 of those refugees to this country. The House yesterday passed a bipartisan measure "pausing" Obama's plan, with enough votes to override his threatened veto, but Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid has vowed to prevent the measure from passing in his chamber. Voters strongly believe, however, that the Syrian refugees pose a national security risk, and most oppose settling them in the state where they live. Sizable majorities across most demographic categories consider radical Islamic terrorism a Very Serious threat to the United States. The majority of voters in nearly all categories also believe the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism. Sixty-five percent (65%) of Democrats agree with the president, though, that ISIS does not represent the true beliefs of Islam. Just 27% of Republicans and 44% of unaffiliated voters share that view. The older the voter, the more likely he or she is to disagree with the president's assessment of what ISIS stands for. Voters who think the United States is at war with radical Islamic terrorism are evenly divided over the question of whether ISIS represents true Islamic beliefs. Sixty percent (60%) of those who do not feel America is at war agree with Obama. The Republican presidential hopefuls say if America doesn't identify radical Islamic terrorism as the enemy, it can't begin to win the War on Terror. As recently as January, 52% of all voters said Islam as practiced today encourages violence more than most other religions, and 75% said Islamic religious leaders need to do more to emphasize the peaceful beliefs of their faith. Even before the horrific events in Paris, voters remained less confident of their safety here at home than they have ever been. Sixty-eight percent (68%) consider ISIS a Very Serious threat. Forty-nine percent (49%) feel the federal government is not devoting enough attention to the potential threat of domestic Islamic terrorism. Both of these findings also came before the weekend of terror in Paris. Additional information from this survey and a full demographic breakdown are available to Platinum Members only.
