NATO airstrike kills two Afghan children

Posted on by

“A NATO helicopter strike killed two children in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, officials said, in the latest civilian casualties to beset the coalition’s war against Taliban militants.  The operation close to Ghazni city was conducted after local people complained of a Taliban post targeting traffic convoys in the area, Mohammad Ali Ahmadi, the deputy governor of Ghazni province, said.  ‘It was a joint (Afghan and coalition) operation conducted this morning that killed nine Taliban. Unfortunately, two school children were also killed and seven other civilians were wounded,’ he said.”

Afghan villagers flee their homes as US drones terrorize them

Posted on by

“Barely able to walk even with a cane, Ghulam Rasool says he padlocked his front door, handed over the keys and his three cows to a neighbor and fled his mountain home in the middle of the night to escape relentless airstrikes from U.S. drones targeting militants in this remote corner of Afghanistan.  Rasool and other Afghan villagers have their own name for Predator drones. They call them benghai, which in the Pashto language means the ‘buzzing of flies.’ When they explain the noise, they scrunch their faces and try to make a sound that resembles an army of flies.”

US Army vet charged with fighting alongside al-Qaida against Syrian government

Posted on by

“A U.S. Army veteran, who boasted on Facebook of his military adventures with Syrian rebels, was charged Thursday with firing rocket propelled grenades as part of an attack led by an al-Qaida group against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.  According to an FBI affidavit, Harroun, who served three years in the Army before being medically discharged, was engaged in military action in Syria, siding with rebel forces against the Syrian government, from January to March of this year.  Harroun is not charged with providing material support to a terrorist group, but instead conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction outside the U.S.”

U.S. flies nuclear-capable stealth bombers over South Korea

Posted on by

“The United States said two nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers flew ‘deterrence’ missions over South Korea on Thursday.  The deployment of the stealth bombers was clearly meant to deliver a potent message to Pyongyang about the US commitment to defending South Korea against any aggression as military tensions on the Korean peninsula soar.  It came shortly after the North severed its last-remaining military hotline with South Korea.  US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told his South Korean counterpart that Seoul could rely on all the military protection the United States has to offer — nuclear, conventional and missile defence.”

Creator of drone casualties visualization hopes data will ‘shock’ people

Posted on by

“Wesley Grubbs of Pitch Interactive told HuffPost Live on Tuesday that he created an interactive graph of the U.S. drone campaign in Pakistan to highlight civilian causalities. ‘We want to shock people,’ he explained. ‘What we tried to do though with this was not just shock people with the number of casualties, but to shock people with the amount of information that we really don’t know.’  The data visualization illustrates the number of casualties from drone strikes in Pakistan between 2004 and 2013, categorizing the victims as either children, civilians, alleged combatants, or high-profile targets.”

One Man Blocking Arizona Anti-NDAA Bill

Posted on by

“Arizona has the chance to become the first state in America to enact real protections for its citizens against the NDAA. HB 2573, introduced by Rep. Carl Seel, passed Committee 6-2 last month, and passed the Rules Committee yesterday.   Yet, one Representative does not see the tide turning to liberty. Representative Andy Tobin is currently blocking HB 2573 from receiving a full House vote. He is willing to kill protection for the people of Arizona, and allow the Federal government to trample the rights of his constituents.”

The Iraq War: 10 Years Later – Anthony Gregory

Posted on by

gregory_anthony_1002

“Operation Iraqi Freedom unleashed terrorism, draconian Shariah law, and the systematic persecution of women and religious minorities. Bush’s gang established martial law, deadly checkpoints, and torture chambers; used white phosphorous, flooded the country with sewage and disease, destroyed infrastructure that twelve previous years of U.S. war and sanctions had yet left standing, confiscated Iraqis’ guns, and implemented central taxation and economic planning.  Wilson’s WWI bungling helped lead to communism, Nazism, and WWII; Bush’s bungling has exacerbated jihadism and will reverberate for decades. One good resulted: Global disrespect for American empire.”

Syrian Insurgent Provocations: Going For Endgame?

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“After creating the chaos in Syria through his policy of arming and training the insurgents, President Obama said last week in the Middle East that he is ‘very concerned about Syria becoming an enclave for extremism because extremists thrive in chaos, they thrive in failed states, they thrive in power vacuums.’ The US created the very instability by empowering radicals that it now seeks to mitigate, first by the CIA fool’s errand of supporting ‘moderates,’ when it is clear that only the radicals are capable of actually fighting. It would be interesting to see the criteria for determining who is eligible for CIA assistance. Beards are, after all, quite easy to shave…”

Albany police: SWAT used poor black neighborhood for training because it’s ‘realistic’

Posted on by

“The chief of police in Albany, New York says that his department just wanted a ‘realistic’ setting when it frightened residents in a poor, predominately African-American neighborhood with SWAT training exercises that included firing blank ammunition and exploding flash grenades. On Thursday, Albany’s SWAT team shocked nearby residents when it stormed a public housing complex that was scheduled to be demolished, according to the Times Union. Photos circulated on Facebook over the weekend showed police in tactical gear, spent shell casings and fake blood.”

New report says there are still no federal safety standards for nation’s bioterror defense labs

Posted on by

“US labs that research bioterror germs such as anthrax are at risk for accidents because they do not have uniform building and operation standards, a Congressional investigative group said on Monday.  A lack of oversight has persisted despite a 2009 report by the Government Accountability Office on the same topic, leaving no single agency in charge of safety or research goals at bioterror labs, the GAO said in its report.  US labs that research ways to protect against bioterror germs and disease outbreaks have been on the rise since the September 11, 2001 attacks.”
