The murder of the Taliban leader by US drone strike in Pakistan

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

Hakimullah MehsudNovember 2013: The murder of the Taliban leader by US drone strike in Pakistan, on Friday, November 1, 2013, on the eve of peace talks between the government of Pakistan and the Taliban can have had only one aim; to scuttle the talks.

The United States has no wish to bring the Taliban to any negotiating table to create peace, neither in Pakistan nor in Afghanistan, as it would not benefit them and their war on terror.

The war on terror has be maintained in order to claim that this or that country has to be attacked in order to get their hands on the resources of that country and also, and especially, to maintain and increase the attack on the freedoms of the individual under the guise of “fighting terrorism”.

Both the attack and consequent occupation of Iraq and the occupation of Afghanistan have nothing to do with fighting terrorism but everything with getting access to “vital” resources, ideally without paying for them, bar in the blood of young men and women of the military, and also with creating, for everyone knows that that will be the result, more terrorism, and the means to creating ever more draconian laws to destroy the freedoms, such as they are, of the individual in our so-called free and democratic countries.

Greenpeace response to the Obama climate plan

Commenting on President Obama’s new climate plan, which was announced the other day in a speech in Washington, Greenpeace UK executive director John Sauven said: “The President is embracing policies that will excite people around the world, and if the full potential of this plan is realised then we could look back at this speech as a landmark moment. At the very least it sends a huge signal. For years, since the failure of the Copenhagen summit and the onset of the financial crisis, politicians have ignored this issue. Now the world’s most powerful man is saying, “We’re going to talk about climate change again.”

“This speech could be the dawn of a new era in which the White House finally stands up to the fossil fuel giants. We’ll know soon enough, when negotiators next meet at the UN climate talks in Warsaw. If this speech is to mean anything, if Obama is serious about challenging the dominance of the oil, gas and coal lobby, then the US diplomats who go to Poland will be the first to push for real action instead of holding the world back.”

Why is the US Homeland Security buying Russian ammunition?

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

AK-47_sml According to a list that I have seen the US DHS has been purchasing thousands of rounds of Russian ammunition for the AK47 (7.62x31), the Dragunov sniper rifle (7.62x54R), and also 9mm Makarov.

dragunov1_sml In my mind, unless they are up to something on the false flag front, such ammo does not make sense as the US government agencies do not, in general, carry AK47s, Dragunovs or PMs, as in Pistolet Makarov, that is to say, Makarov pistols, pistolet_makarov not even the DHS.

So, therefore, the question as to why then buy such ammo?

If I clamp my conspiracy theorist hat firmly in place I would suggest that this ammo is intended for some sinister operations when then another entity or even country is to be blamed.

Maybe it really would be a good idea to stay well clear of London on 7/27/12 just in case some predictions are true and something is being hatched at certain agencies in order to create mass casualties to then blame that on, say, a certain oil-rich country next door to Iraq.

Just saying, mind... Something to think about, though...
