BBC News ^ | 11 Mar 2012 | BBC News

A US soldier in Afghanistan has killed at least 16 civilians and wounded five after entering their homes in Kandahar province, senior local officials say.

He left his military base in the early hours of the morning and opened fire in at least two homes; women and children were among the dead.

Nato said it was investigating the "deeply regrettable incident".

Something very strange about this report. How does one soldier walk out of a base in Crapganistan?

watch for Agenda 21

Just one of the reasons the "Breitbart videos" are so important.

Obama's ties to radical thinking needs to be exposed.

Some people on this thread want to denounce me and my way of thinking. That is fine. I stand with our troops. I stand as a citizen with my fellow citizens. Not with failed policies and "leaders" who are attempting a restructuring of the basic tenets that founded this nation.

Maybe I better not; my a$$ needs all the cover it can get. lol.

But agreed. And it’s happening right in front of our faces. They are relying on the Goebbels principle that people will swallow a big lie before a little one. People can handle debating whether Kim Kardashian had a boob job (or whatever the latest bread and circus is). They can’t handle the thought that the Islamists and communists who have been telling us for a very, very long time that they would destroy us are actually doing what they’ve said they would.

Making us afraid of being called a “conspiracy theorist” neutralizes the voices who would otherwise point out what should be obvious.

well Fred I stand with you..

I'm tired of playing Mr. and Mrs. Nice Guy...roll over and play dead...I'm sick to my stomach what is happening all across the once great Nation that my family and relatives and friends fought for...
I'm a daughter of a veteran
I'm a sister of a veteran
I'm aunt to many veterans
and I'm wife to a veteran
our men and women have their hands tied by this jerk in the White House and he knows nothing about serving in the Military or even what military life is like...
He needs to struggle, and suffer as many families have.

after spending the day reading up on Agenda 21...I tell you I'm scare for the future of America...thankfully I don't have as many years remaining as I've had in my past..It is sad sad times....

I have to wonder with the lack of info on this story, lack of the release of information on it... if this is the same instance we have seen in the past when a muslim is involved. Seems to always be the first thing they mention if it were a Christian...believe me, that would be the first word in the story, the headline, etc.

Ken
will we ever know the truth? will the MSM report truth of this incident?

NO because Obama will tell them what to print and say..for some reason our Media supports this guy..It is very hard to understand why???

we best wake up because another four years of Obama, then eight years of Michelle Obama, because I believe the media is grooming her resume to support her for a run in the office of President..how he has become so powerful from NOTHING is hard to understand..

thankfully I don't have as many years remaining as I've had in my past

I have two grandkids now. I think about the chance they are going to have to live a life like mine--free.

And then I ask myself "WHY should I let ANYONE stand in their way?"

The major media companies have been threatened - at least once before the election and at least once in the first few months after the election - with both FCC and FTC annihilation after the election if they reported about Obama’s eligibility issue, and it’s claimed that Glenn Beck left Fox because the threats continued even after Beck ridiculed “birthers” but continued to report on Soros’ and Obama’s ties to communists and Islamists. Beck couldn’t provide protection for the lower-level staffers and Fox refused to provide protection and tried to stop him from exposing Soros’ ties because somebody from Fox’s Board of Directors is tied to Soros financially.

Most people in the major media are in bed with Obama and Soros and their communist-Islamist alliance so they didn’t mind the threats. Doug Hagman says that’s actually what one witness said was brought out in one of the meetings where the media company told the on-air personalities that their jobs would definitely be lost and their lives and families’ lives were questionable if they reported on the eligibility issue.

But the threats were very real for the “conservatives”, which explains why we’re basically functioning without ANY media willing to cover the communist-Islamist coup currently taking place within our own country.

Those claims were made by Doug Hagman. Links are below. The transcript of Hagman’s interview with Laurie Roth can be seen in Tom Ballantyne’s book “Oh Really O’Reilly”, for anybody who doesn’t want to slog through 3 hours of audio.

And Mike Zullo, commander of Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse, has verified that the threats actually did take place. See http://www.wnd.com/2012/03/did-threats-silence-media-on-obama-probe/ for the article, and/or see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2856160/posts for discussion regarding the article.

I’ll post here a comment I made earlier that gives the links for the Hagman information. I should also add that before I got confirmation of the accuracy of Hagman’s claims from Mike Zullo personally, I constructed a timeline of events related to potential Soros threats, and based on that timeline I had already seen that Hagman’s claims were very credible, which is why I reported them to Zullo and why he investigated them himself. (It was when I tried to forward my timeline to Zullo that my ISP informed me that my reply to Mike’s e-mail couldn’t be sent because the address failed; so I forwarded it to a go-between who forwarded it to him with no problem. Somebody with power to control the ISP didn’t want me communicating with Mike about Soros’ threats.)

Those threats were actually basically repeated PUBLICLY when Media Matters told Ben Smith that they were conducting guerrilla warfare against Fox, trying to get British regulators to destroy NewsCorp - right after Hannity had agreed with Trump’s statements that Obama should release a BC (which led to the release of what the posse has now confirmed is a forged BC).

Here is what I posted earlier about this, which puts into perspective Breitbart’s death, the bomb scare with Rush Limbaugh, and the presser all happening on the same day (taken from the thread at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2854663/posts ) :

Right, but if he depends on Clear Channel for anybody to hear him, they can tell him what to say.

And this is a critical issue because Soros has threatened the media companies - including both TV and radio - if they reported on the eligibility issue. The same day as Sheriff Arpaio had a press conference saying there is probable cause that Obama’s birth certificate and draft registration are both forged, two of the most independent and effective conservative media entities received “messages” intended to be overheard by every reporter at that presser. Rush had the bomb threat situation. And just hours after interviewing Sheriff Arpaio, Breitbart was dead.

So the country isn’t hearing that a law enforcement investigation found that Obama’s records are forged. They’re hearing that Limbaugh called a gal a slut.

What the MEDIA, though, is hearing, is that Soros meant what he said when he threatened them - because Soros is working on taking out anybody in the media who MIGHT HAVE reported on the crimes that Soros & Co have committed to take the White House and country by an illegal coup.

The media is scared spitless. I encourage people to listen to the interview of Corsi at http://radiopatriot.wordpress.com/tag/dr-jerome-corsi/ (note: updated link) . Alex Jones says the people close to Breitbart believe he was murdered and notes that Michael Savage has a bodyguard and airs from different places because he’s fearful for his life. Corsi then mentions that the media companies were threatened if they reported on the eligibility issue. Doug Hagman had investigated that, and the posse has corroborated his claims; Corsi says he will report on that soon (if he’s not bumped off too...). What Hagman said was that the media people he spoke to were scared - and that was long before this situation with Breitbart and Limbaugh.
