Exclusive Interview With Afghanistan Reconstruction Watchdog – An Epic Waste Of Taxpayers’ Money
– Exclusive Interview with Afghanistan Reconstruction Watchdog:
In Charge of Saving Taxpayers’ Money in Afghanistan … Wait Till You Hear His Horror Stories
An ineffective $8 billion counternarcotics effort, $500 million worth of cargo planes that had to be turned into scrap metal and a $30 million program to grow crops that nobody wants — those are just some of the examples of how US funds have been wasted in Afghanistan.
While taxpayers have every right to be upset about how their money has been squandered, they might feel even more strongly about the lack of consequences for those who spend it so unwisely.
Muslim Man Warns Germans: “We Will Marry Your Daughters And Conquer You With Births” (Video) – Meanwhile, In An Average German City (Video)
FYI.
As I’ve said many times before, the elitists have planned the greatest economic collapse, civil war and WW3 for us.
The ‘migrant crisis’ – or whatever you want to call it – is just part of the plan.
And the elitists are, like always, using ‘divide et impera’ to accomplish their plans.
They will, again, turn humans against humans to accomplish their goals.
WW2 has been a staged event and we are on the road to WW3.
And all of this is part of the plan.
(Why is it that most of those refugees are young males? Shouldn’t they mainly consist of women & children and elderly people? You wouldn’t believe how many of those migrants have ‘lost’ their passports and own the newest iPhone. And it is not reported in the media that several states in Germany have already declared a state of emergency, because those mainly young male migrants just go into supermarkets and stores, eat and drink whatever they want and take with them whatever they want, leaving a total mess. Many supermarkets/stores refuse to open without police protection and will not let more than 6 refugees inside. Many stores are not even filling up the shelves anymore. Police forces are totally overstretched. Fights between migrants are constantly breaking out on a daily basis, needing hundreds of police just to get things back under control. Then refugees are just disappearing, even entire camps just have disappeared. Also German police forces have found 3 containers full of weapons.)

– Muslim Man Warns Germans: “We Will Marry Your Daughters And Conquer You With Births”:
A week ago, we showed a video of what we hoped was not representative of the general sentiment among Germans towards the refugee crisis as two ladies suggested, “Every year 2-3 million arrive…it’s generally about foreign infiltration.” Now we have the other side as the following video shows a muslim man threatening a German that “his daughter will wear a headscarf and marry a Muslim and that Germans stand no chance with their low birth rate,” adding that muslims will will “conquer Europe not with weapons, but with birth rates.”
This, according to the mulsimman in the video, is the alleged punishment by Allah, the almighty god himself, for the acts of “colonizing and exploiting their countries so they can drive Mercedes and have digital cameras”.
Given this video, whether right-wing propaganda or not, as we detailed previously, anger is spilling over to the common people: “In Freiberg in Saxony on Sunday evening demonstrators tried to stop asylum seekers reaching a refugee centre. The protesters tried to stop a bus with refugees from driving further down the road by staging a sit-in.

Dogfights Next? US Sends F-15 Jets To “Counter” Russian Air Force Over Syria
Ahead of US spec ops deployment in Syria, the US is sending F-15C Eagle twin-engine fighters to Turkey, suggesting The Pentagon is preparing for aerial combat with the Russian air force.
“In stark contrast, the F-15s only carry air-to-air weaponry, and their pilots train exclusively for shooting down enemy warplanes. It’s worth noting that F-15Cs have never deployed to Afghanistan, nor did they participate in the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. The war in Syria is different.”
– Dogfights Next? US Sends F-15 Jets To “Counter” Russian Air Force Over Syria:
When the Obama administration announced it would soon put 50 (er… 100 we guess, since soldiers generally have two feet) boots on the ground in Syria, the US media immediately asked the wrong set of questions.
As we noted in “US Sends Troops To Syria: Here Are The Questions The Media Should Be Asking,” the Josh Earnest presser was nothing short of a joke, as the media peppered the Press Secretary with question after question about whether the President had gone back on his promise (made to the American people at least 16 times) to not put US ground troops into combat in Syria.
Of course that completely misses the point. And here’s why:
There have been boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq for years and indeed, the public seems to have forgotten that just five months ago, US commandos executed a raid in Syria that purportedly killed Islamic State’s “gas minister” (and yes, that’s just as absurd as it sounds).

U.S. Military Spent $43 Million on a Gas Station in Afghanistan that Should Have Cost $500,000
– U.S. Military Spent $43 Million on a Gas Station in Afghanistan that Should Have Cost $500,000:
Earlier today, we learned that the U.S. government had raided a citizens victim fund to the tune of $1.5 billion in order to use the money for general expenses. It’s all starting to make sense now. When you’re spending $43 million on gas stations that should cost $500K, it doesn’t take long to run out of money.
Taxpayers lose. Again.
Reuters reports:
The U.S. Department of Defense spent nearly $43 million on a gas station in northern Afghanistan and has been unable to explain why it cost so much, a U.S. special inspector reported on Monday.
How the U.S. Government is Raiding a Citizen Victim Relief Fund to Pay for General Expenses
– How the U.S. Government is Raiding a Citizen Victim Relief Fund to Pay for General Expenses:
One of the primary “talking points” used by the Department of Justice to defend its practice of systematically deeming corporate criminals above the law via its used of deferred prosecution agreements, has been an emphasis on how much money it has earned in fines from criminal corporations. These fines were supposed to be distributed to help victimized American citizens. Not any more.
The Wall Street Journal reports that:
WASHINGTON—The government’s just-approved budget deal takes $1.5 billion from a fund for crime victims and uses it instead to help pay for federal spending, drawing on a growing reserve collected from settlements with banks and major corporations.

UK Introduces Legislation Requiring Tech Companies to Spy on Their Users
– UK Introduces Legislation Requiring Tech Companies to Spy on Their Users:
In the wake of Edward Snowden’s revelations detailing pervasive secretive and unconstitutional government spying, many tech companies have taken steps to secure users privacy via end-to-end encryption.
Of all the world’s “leaders,” one person has stood out from the crowd by consistently advocating the most destructive, ignorant and authoritarian solutions. That man is UK Prime Minister David Cameron.
I’ve highlighted this fact time and time again here at Liberty Blitzkrieg. Here are a few examples in case you need some context:

UK Government invests £60m in Skylon plane that can fly from London to Sydney in 4 hours
H/t reader squodgy:
“Shame the PTB will deny the Brits further benefits from it, it will all go to the World Military Industrial Complex…….just like the first supersonic plane, the first jet engine, the first bi-pass engine, the swing wing, the angled flight deck, the steam catapult, the landing mirror, the HUD, and on and on and on.”

This is the new super-plane. Why is it in the news?
The UK government has pumped £60m into a next-generation engine that will apparently make low-cost space travel possible for commercial customers.
Really? Will we be exploring the final frontier by Christmas?

After years of delays and failed launches, Obamacare has finally taken hold, and with it the economic and financial implications from this mandatory tax are finally being felt.
We have extensively covered how Obama’s Affordable Care Act will end up being a failure, observing both the economic implications in “In Latest Obamacare Fiasco, Most Low-Income Workers Can’t Afford “Affordable Care Act” as well as its operational shortcomings in “Obamacare Is A Disaster: Co-Op Insurers Across America Are Collapsing, And Now There Is Fraud“, paradoxically even as Obamacare – a tax – was according to the BEA the single biggest contributor to GDP growth in the third quarter.

Obama To Openly Welcome Criminals As Government Workers
– Obama To Openly Welcome Criminals As Government Workers:
President Obama has just unleashed a new executive order to remove admission of a criminal history from job applications, or in The White House’s words, to reduce potential discrimination against former convicts in the hiring process for federal government employees. As NBC News reports, this is a further step towards what many criminal justice reformers call “ban the box” – the effort to eliminate requirements that job applicants check a box on their applications if they have a criminal record – and continues Obama’s emphasis on assisting criminals who want to re-enter society as part of his continuing agenda items from his “My Brother’s Keeper Task Force.”

Prisoners believed to be regime officers used as shield near Damascus as Assad forces intensify bombing of rebel areas.
Syrian rebel groups have locked people in cages and driven them to areas near Damascus to use as human shields against heavy government air raids.
A video posted online by the Shaam News Network, an opposition media outlet, showed prisoners in iron cages being driven on the back of pickup trucks through what it said was the area of Eastern Ghouta, northeast of the capital.

– Austrian Politician Under Fire After Agreeing That “Zionist Money Jews Are The Global Problem”:
Austrian lawmaker Susanne Winter did something she probably shouldn’t have last week.
It started when someone named Oehlmann Hans- Jörg wrote the following on Winter’s Facebook page:
“The Zionist money Jews are the global problem. Europe, and in particular Germany, are now getting what they deserve from Zionist Jews, particularly rich Zionist Jews in the USA, for the century-long persecution of Jews in Europe. According to the Zionists, Europe, particularly Germany, should be cut off as economic competitors to the US.”
While it’s not entirely clear what Hans- Jörg is trying to communicate there in terms of specifics, the overall message seems clear and Winter apparently supports it. Here’s her response:
AGENDA 2030: The UN Plans To Implement Universal Biometric Identification For All Of Humanity
– The UN Plans To Implement Universal Biometric Identification For All Of Humanity By 2030:
Did you know that the United Nations intends to have biometric identification cards in the hands of every single man, woman and child on the entire planet by the year 2030? And did you know that a central database in Geneva, Switzerland will be collecting data from many of these cards? Previously, I have written about the 17 new “Global Goals” that the UN launched at the end of September. Even after writing several articles about these new Global Goals, I still don’t think that most of my readers really grasp how insidious they actually are. This new agenda truly is a template for a “New World Order”, and if you dig into the sub-points for these new Global Goals you find some very alarming things.
For example, Goal 16.9 sets the following target…

China Arrests Three High Frequency Traders For “Destabilizing The Market And Profiting From Volatility”
Last night we reported the shocking news that none other than “China’s Carl Icahn” (or its “Warren Buffett” depending on the news source), Xu Xiang – who has ranked China’s 188th richest man with $2.2 billion in net worth according to the Hurun rich list – had been arrested in what was the latest crackdown against “malicious short sellers”, with Bloomberg adding that Shanghai police raided hedge fund Zexi Investment on Sunday, taking away computers and other materials, “in the latest attempt by Chinese authorities to crack down on strategies blamed for exacerbating a $5 trillion stock-market rout.”
Xu Xiang being taken into custody as part of the investigation into market manipulationAccording to the FT, Xiang “was the the leading light of the “Limit-up Kamikaze Squad”, a group of hedge fund managers known for their fearless speculation.”

Ok, this is China: crazy things happen all the time. But where things got outright ridiculous, was when moments ago when as China National Radio reports, Wu Shuang, a partner of Xu Xiang’s at Zexi, and also an insider trading suspect, was shot and killed by Chinese police when he “resisted and tried to escape.”

How Arbitration Clauses Are Stripping American Citizens Of Their “Constitutional Right To Go To Court”
– How Arbitration Clauses are Stripping American Citizens of Their “Right to Go to Court”:
By inserting individual arbitration clauses into a soaring number of consumer and employment contracts, companies like American Express devised a way to circumvent the courts and bar people from joining together in class-action lawsuits, realistically the only tool citizens have to fight illegal or deceitful business practices.
Thousands of cases brought by single plaintiffs over fraud, wrongful death and rape are now being decided behind closed doors. And the rules of arbitration largely favor companies, which can even steer cases to friendly arbitrators, interviews and records show.
The sharp shift away from the civil justice system has barely registered with Americans. F. Paul Bland Jr., the executive director of Public Justice, a national consumer advocacy group, attributed this to the tangle of bans placed inside clauses added to contracts that no one reads in the first place.
“Corporations are allowed to strip people of their constitutional right to go to court,” Mr. Bland said. “Imagine the reaction if you took away people’s Second Amendment right to own a gun.”
– From yesterday’s New York Times article: Arbitration Everywhere, Stacking the Deck of Justice
I’ve followed the dangerous trend of the increased corporate use of arbitration clauses in contracts for several years now, and yesterday’s New York Times investigation into their civil liberties destroying nature, is one of the best pieces I’ve seen on the subject to date.
Bank of America Admits – Central Bank Policy Enriched Wall Street While “Steamrolling” Main Street
“When a country embarks on deficit financing (Bush-Obamanomics) and inflationism (Quantitative easing) you wipe out the middle class and wealth is transferred from the middle class and the poor to the rich.
– Ron Paul“Deficits mean future tax increases, pure and simple. Deficit spending should be viewed as a tax on future generations, and politicians who create deficits should be exposed as tax hikers.”
– Ron Paul
– Bank of America Admits – Central Bank Policy Enriched Wall Street While “Steamrolling” Main Street:
Wall Street is counting its winnings from seven years of easy money.
The results represent a clear victory for Wall Street over Main Street, according to the team of Michael Hartnett, BofA’s chief investment strategist.
“Zero rates and asset purchases of central banks have, thus far, proved much more favorable to Wall Street, capitalists, shadow banks, ‘unicorns,’ and so on than it has for Main Street, workers, savers, banks and the jobs market,” the BofA team wrote.
– From the Bloomberg article: Here’s How Much QE Helped Wall Street Steamroll Main Street
In a refreshing bit of honesty from “Too Big to Fail and Jail” Wall Street firm Bank of America, the American peasants are informed about a reality with which they are all too familiar. That the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve Bank bailed out the rich and powerful, while leaving average citizens high and dry.
AND NOW: Hillary Clinton Is “Too Big To Jail”
– As Benghazi inquiry fades, Clinton still faces legal questions about emails:
…
“She’s too big to jail,” said national security attorney Edward MacMahon Jr., who represented former CIA employee Jeffrey Sterling in 2011 in a leak case that led to an espionage prosecution and 3½-year prison term. He cited a pattern of light punishments for top government officials who have mishandled classified information while lower level whistleblowers such as Sterling have faced harsh prosecutions for revealing sensitive information to expose waste, fraud or abuse in government.
At least 671 emails that Clinton sent or received through her private server contained classified material, according to the State Department’s latest update Friday from its ongoing review of more than 30,000 emails. Her aides also sent and received classified information.
In response to a public records lawsuit, the department released another 7,200 pages of Clinton’s emails after partially or entirely redacting any containing sensitive U.S. or foreign government information on a range of issues.

US Army Tests Swarms Of Drones In Major Exercise
– US Army tests swarms of drones in major exercise:
The U.S. Army has for the first time tested swarms of consumer drones during a major military training exercise and determined the low-cost technology is at a stage where it could be used offensively.
Off-the-shelf drones have brought what was previously complex and expensive technology into the reach of consumers, and the military was curious to see how much of a threat that might pose.
So it brought consumer quadcopters and octocopters to the Network Integration Evaluation war games that concluded earlier this month at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, and Fort Bliss, Texas.
During the exercise, which is used by the Army to help evaluate new technology, the drones were deployed as a swarm to simulate a threat. Later, the Army expanded the trials to discover whether it might be able to make use of the same technology.
Putin’s Approval Rating Reaches A New High
– Putin’s Approval Rating Reaches A New High:
…
Vladimir Putin’s approval rating in Russia has soared to yet another all time high; leaving all those who don’t like Putin or were hoping for some sort of regime change in Russia continue to be out of luck. One reason why we are even posting about this is that the Western press has also reported on the event, employing a somewhat less neutral tone of voice. What makes the sour grapes style reporting in the Western media especially funny is that while it is true that the Kremlin exerts extraordinary influence on the media in Russia, one wonders in what way their reportage on Syria is different from the reporting in the happily self-censoring US mainstream media on the Iraq war, especially in the run-up to said war.
