The Daily Monitor's political editor, Henry Ochieng, said about 50 plainclothes police entered the paper's premises in the capital, Kampala, on Monday. "There are lots of plainclothes individuals inside the premises. You can come in but you can't leave," he said. Alex Asiimwe, the newspaper's managing director, said in a statement that the company was "horrified by this act". The raid comes amid a heated public debate about a letter sent by General David Sejusa to the Internal Security Organisation asking for a probe into reports that there were plans to assassinate officers opposed to President Yoweri Museveni's son succeeding him. The Daily Monitor obtained and published Sejusa's letter, which has been dismissed by the army's top leadership as propaganda. Three journalists from the newspaper have since resisted efforts by the police to have them submit their copy of the letter and to explain how they obtained it. Sejusa, who is currently travelling in Europe, has since written another letter in local newspapers alleging the president had planted a man in his office to spy on him for three years. Forced to tone down There are lots of plainclothes individuals inside the premises. You can come in but you can't leave Henry Ochieng, The Daily Monitor's political editor Police spokeswoman Judith Nabakooba said the police secured a warrant to search the newspaper's premises for Sejusa's letter. "The journalists had been told to give to the police a certain document but somehow they did not hand it in,'' she said. Alex Atuhaire, the news editor with the paper, said the action was "obviously related" to Sejusa without giving further details. He said police were treating the newsroom like "a scene of crime". Jackie Asiimwe, an activist with the women lawyers organisation, FIDA, told Al Jazeera from Kampala that police stood guard outside the newspaper premises. "They are searching the premises," she said, adding she and her colleagues were standing outside "in solidarity". Daily Monitor has been on a collision course with the government which has tried to rein in private media outlets determined to expose official wrong doing. In 2002, the paper was shut down for nearly two weeks after it published a story saying that an army helicopter had come down in northern Uganda, where rebels of the Lord's resistance Army (LRA) were fighting the government. Daily Monitor was reopened but after being forced to tone down its criticism of the government. Under Museveni's government, the media has enjoyed some degree of freedom, but hard-hitting reporting about corruption has led to the prosecution and harassment of journalists. Museveni seized power in 1986 after waging a five-year guerrilla campaign and changed the constitution in 2005 to remove term limits, effectively setting the stage for him to run for president indefinitely. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2013/05/201352013538601371.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bf9_1369089325 Tutsi Police raid <span class="highlight">Uganda</span>n newspaper office Uganda Newspaper Raid Thu, 16 May 2013 12:00:29 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0dc_1368719886 omniradar More of the Things You Aren't Supposed To Know By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor It is time we differentiated hard intelligence and rational analysis from conspiracy theory addiction. Remember, it was Fox News and the Limbaugh crowd that created the addiction for wild conspiracies and fabrication. They, of course, did so out of knowing treason, as time has proven out rather conclusively. Let's look at what we know, what we can prove and, especially, what can never be published. A reader coined our media here in the west, the "LSN" (Lame Stream News). That one may stick. The shame is even Colbert, Maher and Stewart are shamefully dim witted and gutless. They make me sick. BUGGING THE PRESS, OR AT LEAST THE "ASSOCIATED PRESS" The AP or "Associated Press" is hardly real press. Why shouldn't the government bug the press? We pay the government to protect us from dangerous criminals. In recent years, those who aren't wearing uniforms or badges, carry press passes often as not. First of all, at VT, we have certainly been bugged all along by a dozen governments. We get followed and a few claim that helicopters are over their homes continually. I am not so sure about that but we have endless evidence of continual infiltration attempts by paid informants and petty "terrorist groupies," all pretending to be activists of members of the "alternative press." We have had several of our editors and correspondents imprisoned, including a UN Ambassador and member of congress and one who served as White House intelligence chief. Their crimes? One tried to tell Bush his Iraqi WMDs didn't exist. The other refused to assign a huge amount of money belonging to the people of the United States to the Bush family. That got him a 22 year sentence. These moves "on the press" were done by two "Bush league" presidents. Another VT correspondent in Britain is under indictment for, and you will love this, reporting a terrorist threat to an intelligence agency that may well have been fully complicit in planning what was to be an act of false flag terrorism. "Let no good deed go unpunished." The lesson, if you are going to report terrorists, please ask them if they are working for the Mossad, CIA or MI-6 beforehand. If they say no, they are with the Department of Homeland Security, America's answer to Al Qaeda. Bush and Cheney ordered the assassination of another of our editors, Gwyneth Todd, a member of the National Security Council. "Gw" escaped to Turkey and then to Australia. The attempt on her life was featured in a five page Washington Post article and is mentioned, with some regularity, on television in Australia. Todd, while at the White House, was privy to some of America's darkest secrets, not just the illegal invasions but broad spying by AIPAC and even planning of the 9/11 attack as well. Three VT contributors have been killed while reporting in zones of conflict. One was kidnapped and tortured by Israelis, an issue now before the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Another, an Israeli citizen of Jewish ethnicity, is under "sentence of death for honesty in journalism," a common form of recognition in Israel. As for the AP and "others," we are fully behind government efforts to investigate them. We have found the "Lame Stream News" isn't quite so innocent. Minimally, anyone who hasn't been living under a rock knows the news delivered to the undiscerning American, Brit, German, Canadian or what have you is pure propaganda. What few realize is that the acts of domestic terrorism know openly accepted as "false flag attacks," certainly Sandy Hook and Boston, and 9/11 most of all, would be impossible without full complicity by the press. If the government wants to stop domestic terrorism, they are going to have to wiretap the LSN, catching the text messages, emails and phone calls from the spy organizations and terrorist groups that we believe are regularly in contact with the press. Key press assets are notified in advance of attacks so that stories can quickly be "spun" to blame the "favor of the month" patsy and to cover up blunders. On 9/11, when Building 7 collapsed though undamaged, the BBC had predicted that collapse 20 minutes in advance by mistakenly getting the timing of the demolition schedule wrong. They had been notified in advance. To any idiot, this has to be obvious: The BBC was working directly with the terrorists. No other explanation is possible. If you can think of one, let me know. It is impossible to defend the United States from terrorism and espionage without running surveillance on terrorist groups and foreign spies. America's press qualifies on both counts. There is more than conclusive evidence that the press takes direction from AIPAC/ADL, long under investigation/indictment for espionage. Eighty five percent of America's press is controlled by corporations involved in war profiteering. 95% of the individuals who manage our news are either Israeli citizens or qualify for Israeli citizenship. This is not to say that all are controlled but as the truth never gets out and wrongdoers are openly assisted and covered for by the press, perhaps its time we took a look at them. TEA PARTY IRS TROUBLES Let's face it, the Tea Party is funded by money laundered into the country through "Citizens united." The funding that put Tea Party candidates in office was money from international criminal cartels, drugs, prostitution, human trafficking, human organ theft and their cut of the massive financial crimes that their policies defend while they sit on their fat behinds in congress. As for domestic contributions, most come from Sheldon Adelson, the gambling boss, likeable old character though he is, and the ultra-evil Koch brothers, some of the biggest market scamsters in the world. It doesn't take a genius to note that the Tea Party serves and agenda that demonstrates ties to organized crime, terrorist organizations and that it is broadly aligned with financial wrongdoing. This is exactly the kind of group I want the IRS investigating. They are only being rational: "Where there's smoke, there's fire." NUTTY CONSPIRACY FREAKS Let's face it, the LSM or LSP, (Lame Stream Media or Lame Stream Press, pick one), is not worth defending. They are enemies of the United States, work directly with the groups that have destroyed much of the world and, were I to have my way, I would put many in prison or worse. There is no major news agency that isn't openly complicit in acts of treason. As for the Tea Party, the Wall Street dominated attempt to derail any legitimate attempt to restore democracy in America, who cares if the IRS goes after them. They are drowning in dirty money and should well be paying taxes or doing jail time for tax evasion. What I would like to know is this, why does anyone care when our government finally starts going after the people all of us really hate? It makes me happy. You say going after them is "fascism?" Where did you read this, the Lame Stream Press? Anyone wonder why my next words are "Too Stupid to Live." SYRIAN NUKE On or about May 4, 2013, we have conclusive evidence that a nuclear weapon was used against Syria. Sources tell us that it was one of two nuclear "bunker buster" weapons illegally transferred to Israel, stolen by agents of the Department of Homeland Security. (If only I were kidding...) The last statement, however, is NOT confirmed, not the use of the these particular weapons nor that Israel was responsible for the attack. However, the nuclear attack was concurrent with an Israeli artillery barrage against Syrian forces. The confirmed nuclear attack, a weapon that could have been easily delivered by a number of platforms, was against an underground facility. Syria has gone to considerable lengths to deny an attack that was filmed and that there is medical confirmation of as well. We then ask, what was the facility and why the silence? STRANGE BRITAIN On January 18, 2013, a double-lorry stopped outside a pub in Somerset. The name on the side said Insight Trans Logistics. The pub is a known "watering hole" for a major arms trafficker known to trade in nuclear technology and worse. The cargo was identified as containers for two nuclear weapons. The cargo was to be loaded for shipment to Gibraltar. When this incident was reported to the security services, the individual reporting, someone with decades of experience handling nuclear weapons, was told to remain silent. I leave the "dots" unconnected. SYRIAN VOTE IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY However the conflict in Syria began, the situation there has deteriorated into something "unholy." I have deep respect for legitimate opposition forces that wish for a change in the Syrian government. Toward that end, I have worked with others to organize a strong delegation to Damascus to begin a peaceful reconciliation, one that is "reality based" and is respectful of the survival of all the Syrian people. Others want Syria to go the way of Iraq or worse. Syria is to be a platform for isolating and crushing Lebanon, for destabilizing Iraq under the guise of Kurdish nationalism (a people I care deeply for) and imposing a region-wide tyranny, financed by reactionary Arab royalty and managed by Zionist fanatics. World war will be the result. The vote in the UN General Assembly, pushed by Qatar and the Saudi's, a vote even Israel refused to take part in, was a shameful attempt to push forward a sick agenda by the same nations that sent tanks into Bahrain to suppress freedom loving people fighting against a vicious and tyrannical state. No rational person could look on the goals of an Israeli-Saudi coalition and not be more than a bit dismayed to find two supposed enemies have been working together for decades. Imagine the mischief the LSM has had to cover up for this "axis of evil." Anyone that thinks Russia and China will watch Syria be taken down, them and then Iran, must know something the rest of us don't. NIGERIA In 2011 I was in Nigeria for the inauguration of Goodluck Jonathan. While there, Harry Erivona and I and our associates met with the president and the Chief of Security, top police and counter-terrorism officials and leaders in banking and the national oil companies. We had been invited to lay out plans for modernizing Nigeria, uniting the country and preventing the civil war now ravaging the nation. Our concerns weren't just for Nigeria or making money, the real reason Nigeria has been targeted. Oh, you might ask who has targeted Nigeria? Civil war in Nigeria is big business, a civil war planned and executed with full complicity by many of those now in Abuja working to supposedly help protect Nigeria from, well, from those Nigeria is paying endless millions to for "counter-terrorism" assistance. Key officials in Nigeria were informed, very specifically, of the timeline for terrorist bombings, training and supplying Boko Harum and flooding the region with jihadists. We had been in Nigeria before, same message, 2008. Nigeria is a great country, the real key to African security and, with that, very much the real security of the United States. We watched intelligence agencies from Europe and "elsewhere" flood into Niger under the guise of dealing with the conflict in Mali. While there, they were pouring weapons into Nigeria and supporting terror cells throughout the country. Then, of course, the same groups were also sitting in hotels in Abuja, with suitcases of cash to bribe officials, ready to take fat contracts to fight the terrorists they had sent. I do so love it when a plan comes together. Southern Sudan, Uganda and Kenya are next on the list. The hotels are filling up with "doctors" who bring the disease with them. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=0dc_1368719886 omniradar More of the Things You Aren't Supposed To Know!!!!

The president of Somalia Hassan sheikh Mohamoud, however, says that a delay in establishing this security front in his country has paved the way for illicit trade and criminal activities that are not only slowing the growth of the economy but also costing Somali lives. President Mohamud made the remarks at a high level forum in Ethiopia where the challenge of Organized crime was being discussed by heads of state. President Mohamud says Somalia is currently experiencing daily instances of crime, which are not only restricted to piracy and terrorism but also extend to illegal toxic fishing, waste dumping and a huge destruction of forest for charcoal production and export. Criminal activities in Somalia thrive because other African countries either provide the market or sustain supply of the illicit trade. As such Somalia has appealed to other African countries to tighten the security enforcement in their own territories. According to the latest report by the African Union Mission in Somalia, nearly 400 Somali troops have been trained in Mogadishu and Uganda so far. AMISOM, in collaboration with international partners, is making arrangements to shift most of the training for the Somali National Army to the newly refurbished Jazira Training camp in Mogadishu. As the Somali government awaits the establishment of its security forces, it plans to tackle criminal activities, through re engagement of young former criminals such as pirates in vocational training. It also plans to educate them on the need to abide by national and international laws. However, the Somali president says the faster the country establishes its security forces the better it will be for a total eradication of criminal activities. http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2013/04/21/299549/somali-appeals-for-assistance-in-building-its-security-forces/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=f72_1366662408 cathy winslow Somalia appeals for assistance in building its security forces Somalia,Terrorism,War,Mogadishu Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:29:06 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2c3_1361456744 KLM35AboveUK Thieves beaten by mob. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2c3_1361456744 KLM35AboveUK Mob justice in <span class="highlight">Uganda</span>. mob justice Uganda thieves beaten Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:59:46 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=49e_1363013806 Nazel_Hut Part I http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/1133491/e412ff30/defqon.1_festival_uganda.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=49e_1363013806 Nazel_Hut Meanwhile in <span class="highlight">Uganda</span> Part II happy, joy, joy Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:03:09 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=34b_1361987452 AfricanZuluKing These Nigerians Scam from birth to old age. hahaha http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=34b_1361987452 AfricanZuluKing Two Nigerians Arrested With $100 Million Dollars in Counterfeit Currency Nigerians, Scam, Counterfeit, Currency, 100 Million, U.S Dollars, Uganda Mon, 18 Mar 2013 17:28:38 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4cd_1363642051 LostRothschild Anti-gun group teams with UN to prep African countries for arms trade treaty talks Paid to play: Anti-gun group teams with UN to prep African countries for arms trade treaty talks By George Russell Published March 15, 2013 FoxNews.com Sept. 24, 2012: Clouds are reflected off the Secretariat Building of the U.N. headquarters in New York. (REUTERS) A week before it opens a treaty conference to impose worldwide limitations on arms sales, the United Nations co-hosted and paid for a series of meetings involving 48 African nations and an anti-gun group that espouses much greater national and international control of firearms, including registration of small arms and ammunition. The co-host of the gathering in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa was a multinational "civil society" network known as IANSA , which calls itself the "global movement against gun violence," and aims to build a coordinated network of organizations "to stop the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons," and "make people safer by reducing demand for such weapons, improving firearm regulation and strengthening controls on arms transfers." U.S. members of the international network include Amnesty International, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and the Law Center for Smart Gun Laws, which on its website decries a 2008 Supreme Court decision upholding the right of individual Americans to keep a gun in their home for self-defense as "radical." Also in attendance was Peter Woolcott, head of Australia's U.N. mission in Geneva, who will serve as president of the 10-day round of Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) negotiations in New York. No gun rights groups were apparently invited to attend. Exactly what happened at the extraordinary session co-hosted by the U.N. and the anti-gun activists is not known. According to Rodger Glokpor, program manager for the U.N.'s regional center for peace and disarmament in Africa, who coordinated the meeting, "there was no public record of deliberations." Questions directed by Fox News to Woolcott at the Australian mission in Geneva had not been answered before this article was published. Neither were questions sent to Michele Poliakof, IANSA's "U.N. Liaison Officer" in New York City. In response to questions from Fox News about the event itself, Glokpor declared that the "seminar" was "just a forum for African Member States to enhance discussion on the Final Conference on ATT." According to a U.N. flyer soliciting attendees, the meeting was merely intended to "enable African States to deepen their understanding on relevant issues associated with the final negotiations conference." CLICK HERE FOR THE FLYER On the other hand, Glokpor also called the meeting "an opportunity for African Member States to consider in depth the contents of the draft ATT in order to identify gaps as well as explicit inputs to be taken into account to achieve a strong ATT in line with African region's interest." And letters sent by the U.N. to scores of African foreign ministers suggested that the best person to send was "the person in charge of disarmament affairs who is likely to attend the Final United Nations Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty." The letters went out to nations as South Sudan, the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Somalia-all of which have reasons to oppose international arms trafficking-and also to nations such as Uganda, which has been accused of supplying murderous rebel forces in the neighboring DRC. Countries such as Libya, where insurgents used illegal arms-as defined by the murderous Qaddafi regime then in power-- to overthrow the dictatorship, also were included. CLICK HERE FOR SAMPLE LETTERS The hoped-for future delegates to the ATT conference were also invited to attend the preliminary at U.N. expense. Attendees had their air fares, hotel bills, and per diem living expenses paid during the session by the U.N. itself, via the local office of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). Just how much money was involved in the subsidies is not known, but on its U.S. website, the German government says its foreign ministry was spending about $175,000 on the Ethiopia meeting. Funds to support the session also came from the governments of Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands-all countries that support aggressive forms of small arms regulation that go considerably further than the Obama Administration., which vows to defend Second Amendment rights at the session, is likely to endorse. In response to a question from Fox News, a State Department official said that for Washington's part, "to the best of my knowledge we do not pay for other countries to attend the ATT." But other countries do. At a negotiating session last year on the same treaty-which ended in deadlock-Australia's foreign minister, Bob Car, publicly declared that his country had at that time sponsored "workshops" not only in Africa but the Caribbean and Asia in support of an arms treaty deal. Moreover, he said, Australia had paid the way for "nearly 50 delegates from some 35 developing countries to participate" in the conference negotiating round itself. For the arms trade treaty session that begins March 18, Australia is once again covering the air fare and living expenses for a "limited number of developing countries" to attend the meeting. The representatives are "generally representatives of foreign ministries," a UNDP spokesman said, thus "ensuring developing countries will have a voice." Critics of this year's two-day African meeting, which took place in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, have other terms to describe such get-paid-to-play sessions. "This is propaganda," says Ted Bromund, a security policy expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation who has followed the arms trade treaty process closely, and who believes the U.S. should not be participating in the March treaty talks . "It is intended to further deepen understanding from only one side of the question." Bromund took special aim at IANSA's participation in the session as a full-fledged U.N. partner. "IANSA is not simply in favor of an international arms treaty. It also favors heightened national levels of gun control." "The U.N. should not be busy drumming up support for one side of the issue," he said. "The U.N. talks a lot about 'civil society'. It really means dealing with non-government organizations it likes." "IANSA's decade-long crusade for domestic gun control laws has been a major factor keeping the arms-trade-treaty process limping along," says John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. under President George W. Bush - and a Fox News contributor. "To be supported by the U.N. itself is shameful." Bolton himself locked horns with IANSA in 2001, when he helped block an earlier attempt at an arms trade agreement on the ground that it threatened American Second Amendment rights. Moreover, Bolton sees a paradoxical loss of sovereignty for less developed nations in their reliance on non-government organizations such as IANSA . "Small states too often act like agents of the NGOs, not as sovereigns," he says. In fact, according to a 2010 document outlining IANSA's "global strategic directions for the next five years," the organization sees heightened levels of international and national gun control as just two of its aims. It also sees an important permanent role for itself in the global arms control process. According to the IANSA strategic document, the group hopes to become a kind of international gatekeeper of sorts on conventional arms control issues. Or, as the document puts it, IANSA should become "the primary monitoring, influencing &amp; promoting organization, and source of civil society data, on national governmental performance in meeting global/regional small arms control standards" in international conventional arms trade agreements. Its target date for achieving that status was last year. CLICK HERE FOR THE STRATEGIC DOCUMENT Such alliances between the U.N. and private sector advocacy groups have become increasingly common, especially during the tenure of U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. For years now, with varying degrees of success, Ban has openly supported-and sought support from-non-government organizations, corporate partners and other elements of "civil society" to help seize a leading role in establishing a new global agenda , especially, but not always, linked to the issue of climate change. Indeed, at one closed-door session on Long Island two years ago, top U.N. officials received with approval a position paper that explicitly declared that "the U.N. should be able to take the lead in setting the global agenda, engage effectively with other multinational and regional organizations as well as civil society and non-state stakeholders, and transform itself into a tool to help implement the globally agreed objectives." One additional question that the heavily subsidized U.N.-IANSA meeting in Ethiopia raises is the puzzle of exactly how those "globally agreed objectives" are themselves agreed to. As former U.N. Ambassador Bolton puts it, "The incestuous relationship between NGOs with policy agendas and the U.N. and U.N. member states has never received adequate media attention." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/03/15/paid-to-play-anti-gun-group-teams-with-un-to-prep-african-countries-for-arms/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=4cd_1363642051 LostRothschild Anti-gun group teams with UN to prep African countries for arms trade treaty talks 2, 2nd, second, amendment, gun, firearm, rights, constitution, tyranny, freedom Mon, 04 Mar 2013 10:26:27 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f3_1362410497 drynwhyl Distracted by the deadly violence in Mali and Algeria, no one seems to be paying adequate attention to the tragicomedy under way in Pakistan. This matters because events of the last several weeks demonstrate without equivocation that Pakistan is an utterly failed state - but one that possesses nuclear weapons. The country is tumbling down the abyss. Where else could a fundamentalist Muslim cleric who lives in Canada draw tens of thousands of fans to a rally calling for dissolution of the government - speaking from inside a shipping container with a bulletproof window? That's just one in a litany of absurdities going on there. At the same time comes the latest round of unresolvable acrimony between President Asif Ali Zardari and the country's Supreme Court, which has been trying to bring him down for years. Two years ago, the court ordered the prime minister of the time, Yousaf Raza Gilani, to open a corruption investigation against Zardari - as if Pakistanis didn't already know that Zardari, like most every government official, was thoroughly corrupt. After all, since the time his wife, the late Benazir Bhutto, was prime minister, Zardari has been known as "Mr. Ten Percent" for the money he purloined from every business deal he managed. The court ordered Gilani to ask Swiss officials for documentation of Zardari's in-absentia conviction on money-laundering charges 10 years ago. Gilani refused, noting that the president is supposed to be immune from prosecution. The court scoffed. One justice spat: "Obedience to the command of a court" is "not a game of chess or a game of hide-and-seek." And soon after, the court forced Gilani to resign. Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, the information technology minister, took his place. Right away, the court landed on him with the same request: Help us file corruption charges against Zardari; get those Swiss documents. The new prime minister also resisted, and wouldn't you know it: Right now the court is trying to force him out of office - charging him with corruption. It's almost comical. But all of this seems to have paralyzed an already ineffective, incompetent government. Just a few days ago, an officer in the state anticorruption agency who was investigating the allegations against Ashraf was found hanged in his barracks. Police called it a suicide. Awfully convenient timing. At the same time, in northwestern Pakistan, thousands of protesters shouting antigovernment slogans put the bodies of 15 villagers on display, charging that security forces had shot them dead in their homes. The chief security agency, the shadowy, mendacious Inter-Services Intelligence, did not comment but finally did respond to a court inquiry into the fate of seven men who were arrested in 2007. A court ordered them released. But then, all seven men simply disappeared. Finally, on Monday, an ISI lawyer acknowledged the "lack of incriminating evidence" against the seven men but went on to say that they were arrested "on moral grounds." Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry shot back that the ISI simply cannot detain suspects indefinitely and unlawfully - particularly on "moral grounds." "Morally, they can put anyone behind bars, even me," Chaudhry charged. "According to them, all the people are guilty." But despite years of heinous abuses, neither the court nor anyone else in government ever tries to rein in the renegade spy agency. Why should we care about any of this? After all, Pakistan is hardly the only failed state in the world. Think about Somalia, Sudan, Haiti, Zimbabwe. But have any of these other states received more than $12 billion in aid from Washington over the past decade - with another $688 million payment now before Congress awaiting almost certain approval? And do any of the other failed states - Afghanistan, Chad, Nigeria, Uganda - possess nuclear weapons? No. Pakistan is the only state that has bombs - and a vibrant Islamic insurgency intent on toppling the absurdly ineffectual government. And don't forget that senior leaders of al Qaeda live there, too, most of them resident in Pakistan's eastern borderlands. Of course, Osama bin Laden also resided there, undisturbed until U.S. forces killed him in 2011. If the Taliban do ever succeed in toppling the government, they would almost certainly seize the nukes - a terrifying prospect. Right now, though, Taliban militants, responsible for manifest mayhem and thousands of deaths in recent times, appear to be sitting back and watching, most probably with smiles on their faces. Their goal is to destabilize the state, but it's quite obvious now that the sitting government is much better at that than they are. http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/brinkley/article/Pakistan-a-failed-state-on-a-tinderbox-4224701.php http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3f3_1362410497 drynwhyl Pakistan Practically A Failed State pakistan, failure, failed, state, corruption, terorism, nuclear, weapons, taliban, isi, politics, aid Fri, 01 Mar 2013 18:53:15 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=981_1362181202 Killerzone Keep talking shit about the barbaric islam while you all get raped in your own country.

The map is not complete and reflects available information from open sources. Similar to drone bases in Pakistan, a Washington Post article from 2012 quotes a senior U.S. commander as saying that most of the African air bases launching drones and surveillance flights are "small operations run out of secluded hangars at African military bases or civilian airports." Several sites that are rumored to be used for launching drones and surveillance aircraft are not included in the map, including al-Wigh airbase in Libya which has been recently reported by news outlets in North Africa to be a base for French and U.S. operations in Mali. All images are via Google Earth. Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti Camp Lemonnier, a U.S. Naval Expeditionary Base located at the Djibouti-Ambouli International Airport, has functioned for several years as a "core of secret operations" in Africa and the Middle East. Since at least 2009, the site has hosted armed drones flights targeting Somalia and Yemen. A 2012 Washington Post article states that unmanned aircraft take off "about 16 times a day" from Camp Lemonnier. According to the Post, the site is closely linked with Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), hosting at least 300 special operations personnel who "plan raids and coordinate drone flights from inside a high-security compound at Lemonnier that is dotted with satellite dishes and ringed by concertina wire . . . concealing their names even from conventional troops on the base." At least five Predator drones have crashed near Camp Lemonnier since January 2011 and a Special Operations Command U-28 surveillance plane crashed in February 2012 killing four Air Force Special Operations personnel. Arba Minch Airport, Ethiopia The U.S. Air Force verified in October 2011 that the Arba Minch Airport in Ethiopia hosts armed flights of MQ-9 Reapers over Somalia. According to the Washington Post, the U.S. Air Force invested millions of dollars to upgrade the airport "where it has built a small annex to house a fleet of drones that can be equipped with Hellfire missiles and satellite-guided bombs." The drones are reportedly used in operations against Al-Shabaab. Ouagadougou Airport, Burkina Faso Described as a "key hub of the U.S. spying network" in Africa, Ouagadougou Airport is the home of a classified surveillance program code-named Sand Creek that includes "dozens of U.S. personnel and contractors" operating a "small air base on the military side of the international airport." From the airport, unarmed PC-12 airplanes fly surveillance mission in Mali, Mauritania and the Sahara. Niamey, Niger Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger has hosted PC-12 surveillance flights since 2012. On February 22, 2013 President Obama sent a letter to Congress that approximately 100 troops would be sent to Niger to support "intelligence collection" and "facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region." The same day the AP published a story quoting two senior defense officials as saying that the troops, mostly U.S. Air Force logistics specialists, will be setting up a drone base in the capital of Niamey. The drones will reportedly be unarmed and used for surveillance. The location also currently hosts French activities in relation to Mali . Nzara, South Sudan In March 2012 U.S. Army General Carter F. Ham, the head of U.S. Africa Command, testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee about the need for spreading intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) efforts in "assist the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Central African Republic and the Republic of South Sudan to defeat the Lord's Resistance Army in Central Africa." According to the Washington Post, the airfield at Nzara is one of the locations intended as a future base for surveillance flights. An article from April 2012 in the Post states that Nzara is a basing location for part of a contingent of U.S. troops searching for Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony. Other locations where small camps of troops are located include Dungu, Congo and Obo and Djema in the Central African Republic. Entebbe, Uganda Since at least 2009, the U.S. military has been using defense contractors to run surveillance flights in unmarked PC-12 aircraft from out of Uganda. The flights are part of a secret project codenamed Tusker Sand that searches for Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, processing imagery from over the airspace of Uganda, Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic. In August 2011, the U.S. government provided small unarmed drones to Uganda and Burundi . The Ugandan military operates an airbase adjacent to the Entebbe International Airport that is reportedly used by the U.N. and foreign military forces. Photo dated July 2, 2011. Manda Bay, Kenya Though drone flights have not been confirmed to originate from Manda Bay, Kenya, past drone strikes in the region have raised suspicion that the base could be a launching point for armed drone flights into Somalia. According to the Washington Post, the U.S. military has more than a hundred commandos stationed at a Kenyan naval facility at Manda Bay called Camp Simba and the U.S. Navy is currently spending several million dollars to upgrade the runway at the facility. An unclassified 2008 diplomatic cable from the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi released by WikiLeaks indicates that: "The Government of Kenya has demonstrated outstanding support for U.S. and coalition operations in the Horn of Africa (HOA) region. They have allowed a continuous US DoD presence in Manda Bay that allows for training and combined operations in support of counter-terrorism operations and anti-piracy actions. They have maintained one of the only long-term access agreements that allows unparalleled cooperation for U.S. military aircraft, permits DoD personnel to enter and exit the country by simply presenting an ID card, provides a safe location for hub operations throughout the HOA region, and provides a Status of Forces Agreement that safeguards US DoD personnel. Kenya is among our strongest supporters in the region and a key friend in the regional war on terror." The Kenyan military has publicly denied that it hosts U.S. drones or surveillance flights. St. Victoria, Seychelles Located on the island of Mah'e, Seychelles the Seychelles International Airport has hosted U.S. drones since at least 2009. Since December 2011, two MQ-9 Reapers have crashed at the airport . http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7d7_1362164305 TopSecretDocuments U.S. Drone and Surveillance Flight Bases in Africa Map and Photos drone warfare, us military, Africa, Middle East Fri, 25 Jan 2013 21:18:26 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=83d_1359166143 gregsto Biblical law is no different than Sharia Law.
