This research was last updated on May 24, 2011For a full analysis of the repercussions and results of U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, please click here for "The Year of the Drone," by Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann, February 24, 2010 or click here for "The Hidden War," December 21, 2010.

2011 | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 | 2004-2007

The research on these pages, which we have created in a good faith effort to be as transparent as possible with our sources and analysis and will be updated regularly, draws only on accounts from reliable media organizations with deep reporting capabilities in Pakistan, including the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal, accounts by major news services and networks—the Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse, CNN, and the BBC—and reports in the leading English-language newspapers in Pakistan—the Daily Times, Dawn, the Express Tribune, and the News—as well as those from Geo TV, the largest independent Pakistani television network.

Our study shows that the 244 reported drone strikes in northwest Pakistan, including 31 in 2011, from 2004 to the present have killed approximately between 1,483 and 2,364 individuals, of whom around 1,190 to 1,893 were described as militants in reliable press accounts. Thus, the true non-militant fatality rate since 2004 according to our analysis is approximately 20 percent. In 2010, it was more like five percent.*

We have also constructed a map, based on the same reliable press accounts and publicly available maps, of the estimated location of each drone strike. Click each pin in the online version to see the details of a reported strike. And while we are not professional cartographers, and Google Maps is at times incomplete or imperfect, this map gives our best approximations of the locations and details of each reported drone strike since 2004.

*Count is more than the number of strikes in some cases because some targets fell into multiple categories.

In cases where a media report described a specific target such as Baitullah Mehsud or the Haqqani network, the target is counted as such. If a target was both al Qaeda and Taliban commanders, it is counted once under each category. Strikes against Baitullah Mehsud are not included in the overall Taliban count. We assume that strikes which kill a leader in a given group were targeted at that group.

"Pakistanis are poor but Pakistan is not a poor country", says one of the Swiss Bank Directors.   He says that "28 trillions (28,000,000,000,000) of Pak Rupees are deposited in Swiss Banks which can be used for:-


  *     "tax free" budgets for 30 years.
  *     Can give 6o million jobs to all Pakistan .
  *     Constructing 4 lane roads from any village to  Islamabad ..
  *     Ensure forever free supply to more than 500 social projects.
  *     Financial Assistance of Rs. 20,000 per month to every citizen for 60 years.
  *     Disbanding the need of World Bank and IMF loans.
   
Think how our money is stolen and blocked by rich corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.   We have full right against these corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.
Don't ignore and forgive corruption at any level in our country.
Iss message koe itna forward karo kay poora PAKISTAN  parhay aur jaag utthay.

The Queen Snubs Obama's Toast at State Dinner









Videos: The Queen Snubs Obama's Toast at State Dinner

http://www.exposeobama.com/2011/05/24/videos-the-queen-snubs-obamas-toast-at-state-dinner/?utm_source=Expose+Obama&utm_campaign=22f3de5e49-EO_05_24_20115_24_2011&utm_medium=email

If Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, or George W. Bush had so flubbed royal protocol that the Queen of England politely ignored them, every major network would have played the clip on continuous loop and the late night comedians would belittle the rustic rubes for days.

Did you know Barack Obama did this very thing during his state dinner with Queen Elizabeth II, sovereign of Great Britain — that The One screwed up his toast to QE2? Thought not.

Obama weakly read a toast from notes sitting on his table. (Perhaps his TelePrompter could not clear customs?) As he wound up, he raised his glass — as the band began to play the royal anthem, "God Save the Queen." (Older Americans and homeschoolers will know the tune as "My Country 'Tis of Thee.") No one is to toast during that time but instead to stand in respect. Obama does not do this for our national anthem, so he raised his glass — as the entire hall stood with their hands at their sides, waiting for the song to end. Then the Queen politely toasted back.

In 1943, the British intelligence implemented Operation Mincemeat, a plan conceived to deceive the Germans and their allies into thinking that the Allied invasion of Sicily, would take place elsewhere. After an extensive search, they found the cadaver of a man and dressed it in a Navy uniform.

Attached to the corpse's left hand was a briefcase containing fake documentation, identifying him as Major William Martin, R.M. The briefcase also contained memos, letters and related documents falsely stating that the Allied invasion force would land in Sardinia and Greece rather than Sicily, the actual point of invasion.

http://theintelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Servando.png

The corpse was secretly dropped in the sea at night from a British submarine not far from Gibraltar, so that the currents would bring "Major Martin" to Spanish shores. As expected, some Spanish fishermen found the body and when the authorities opened the briefcase, they immediately notified their Nazi allies.

The Spanish Intelligence Service passed copies of the papers to the German Intelligence Service who passed them on to their High Command. After looking at the documents — which were real, even though the information they carried was false — they swallowed its content hook, line and sinker. The ruse was so successful that, weeks after the landings in Sicily had begun, the Germans still believed that Sardinia and Greece were the intended objectives and that the guys in Sicily were part of a diversion operation.

Eventually, the Wall Street bankers and oil magnates who had brought Hitler to power in Germany — most of them members of the Council on Foreign Relations — won WWII. Contrary to common lore, however, its main objective was not rescuing the Jews or liberating Europe, but saving their Nazi friends from justice. The second objective was allowing the Soviet troops to occupy most of Eastern Europe, thus creating the new enemy they needed to substitute Nazi Germany: Soviet communism.

Sixty years later, the same Wall Street bankers and oil magnates who supported Hitler and eventually needed to get rid of the Frankenstein monster they had created, faced a similar problem. Now the CFR conspirators were pushing hard to impose the New World Order upon the American people, and for this final, decisive phase of their plan, they need in the White House a psychopath — a Hitler, a Stalin, a Castro — who cannot sway or hesitate when the time comes for him to take the drastic decisions that this moment will require.

Hillary had already been selected for the job, and was told that she would be the next President of the U.S. during one of the secret meetings where American presidents are tapped on the shoulder: the World Economic Forum she attended in early 1998 in Davos, Switzerland, where she was cheered by the globalist conspirators as a world leader. However, for reasons we can only guess, eventually they changed their minds and decided that she was not the right person for the job and selected Obama.

Probably one of the reasons that tipped the balance in Obama's favor was that he was not born in America, and he profoundly hated everything American, particularly its Constitution and culture. Actually, this was not the first time the globalist conspirators made decisions based on that consideration. Adolf Hitler, who eventually destroyed Germany, was not born in Germany, but in Austria. Fidel Castro, another of their creations, was born in the eastern province of Oriente, and it was known that he hated Havana.

One of the main jobs of every senior CFR member is to recruit agents. As people in the field of intelligence know very well, the best agent is the one who doesn't know (or doesn't want to know) that he has been recruited. CFR members are experts in recruiting ambitious people and pushing them to positions of power. Colonel Edward Mandell House recruited Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Dwight Eisenhower, and Zbigniew Brzezinski recruited Jimmy Carter. Everything indicates that the CFR conspirators used again their trusted agent Brzezinski to recruit young Barack Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama was perfect for the job. In the first place, he was a pot-smoking nonentity lacking in principles and ethics, not very clever and with an immense ego and ambition. As an added bonus, he exhibited the traits of the psychopathic behavior, a requisite for that type of job. Consequently, the CFR conspirators contacted the CIA, an organization they control, and ordered their secret agents in the Agency to create for their new recruit what in intelligence and espionage is called a "legend."[1]

Therefore, like the British intelligence in WWII, CFR agents at the CIA proceeded to create a man that never was in order to sell it to the self-righteous, naive and gullible American public. To this effect, they falsified Barry Soetoro's documents, including his birth certificate, social security card, school and university records, and places of residence. Of course, things like high school and college records are very difficult to falsify, because eventually somebody is going to check them against the original documents. Consequently, they froze Obama's records to keep them out of the hands of researchers.

However, they cannot modify student yearbooks, because there are hundreds of copies in libraries and private hands. Barack Hussein Obama does not appear in any of the yearbooks of the learning institutions of which he claims to have graduated, nor do any former classmate seems to remember him.

THE PRESIDENT WHO DREAMS OF BEING KING

 

By Michael LeMieux
May 24, 2011

One of the great powers of being a king is the ability to award staunch supporters and friends positions of power and wealth within the king's domain. Once a subject is raised to one of these lofty positions he is allowed to remain there at the pleasure of the king, and as long as he does the kings bidding the endowed subject is allowed to remain in his position of power.

Currently in the Senate is bill S.679 entitled "Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011." This bill, introduced by Senator Schumer and a whole list of communist want-to-bees, including Harry Reid, desires to give the President the power to appoint many high level executive office positions from "advice and consent of the Senate" to positions that are appointed by the President and are retained in those positions "at his pleasure."

Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2 in the U.S. Constitution states that the executive shall: "He shall have power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate… shall appoint … all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law; but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."

The rationale behind having such checks and balances was to ensure that people being placed in positions of power within government would be above all qualified for such positions and second that they were not being placed there as a puppet for an agenda driven executive.

Let's take a short detour and discuss another item of governmental control – the executive order. The president, as the chief executive officer over the federal government, historically has used executive orders, rightfully I might add, to direct the operations of the departments under his authority. For instance, the President may order a department head to ensure that he prepare a report on his departments fiscal health on a quarterly basis. The law may state only that the departments must provide fiscal data to the executive on a regular basis and the President is informing that department of what, in this case, regular is to mean.

But the executive order cannot, legally, create law – Article 1, Section 1 of the Constitution states that All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress…" The only legal way for a law to be valid is through congressional authority.

Upon this basis then we look at some of the statements of the current administration:

In a New York Times article from February 12, 2010 it states that "President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environment, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities." In the article Rahm Emanuel, then White House chief of staff, stated "We are reviewing a list of presidential executive orders and directives to get the job done across affront of issues."

As recent as today, May 11, 2011 the Washington Examiner headlines, in its politics section, "Obama ready to deploy executive powers against GOP hill." "In response, Obama is expected to make more frequent use of executive orders, vetoes, signing statements and policy initiatives that originate within the federal agencies to maneuver around congressional Republicans who are threatening to derail initiatives he has already put in place, including health care reforms, and to launch serial investigations into his administration's spending. 'There is going to be an effort on the president's part to use [executive powers] to satisfy his base and institutionalize what he can,' said John Kenneth White, professor of politics at the Catholic University of America. This week, the Environmental Protection Agency begins regulating greenhouse gas emissions at some energy plants and factories -- a move Obama pushed for after his cap-and-trade environmental legislation stalled in Congress.

So throughout his term in office he has been determined to get his agenda in place either with the assistance of Congress or in defiance of them. He is acting as a king with a puppet parliament that no longer wants to be manipulated and he will get his way the nation be damned.

The one thing that will ensure this victory is to be able to put people into key high level officer that he will have the ability to hold accountable only to him. But how can that be done because the Congress must consent to most positions of presidential nominations – enter Senate Bill 679.

Though the title includes the words streamlining and efficiency; the only thing it streamlines and makes more efficient is the president's ability to place key people in strategic positions and to have the power to do so without ANY oversight.

So what positions does this bill call for removing from congressional approval?

41. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps - all officer commissions and promotions will be a the pleasure of the President.
42. Chief Financial Officer Positions

If passed this bill will amount to the greatest power grab in the history of American governance. This would, in effect, allow the President to directly appoint key officers into every vital area of our national government with the power to coerce and demand compliance with his wishes or be removed and replaced with someone who will do what they are told to do.

The reason the Constitution mandated the consent clause was to ensure a President could not do what this President is trying to do – grab power unconstitutionally. He, and his cronies, have already admitted they have been frustrated by the lack of movement in their agenda and have threatened to "go around the wall" by whatever means they can. Executive orders are the means by which the President directs his staff and if abused can cause the departments to act under the color of law as we have already seen with the EPA and its desire to regulate CO2 without congressional legislation. This would create a true fiat government – a government relegated presidential decree via the Executive Order.

We cannot allow this travesty to come to fruition – please contact your Congressmen and demand that they vote against Senate Bill 679 (Presidential Appointment Efficiency and Streamlining Act of 2011).
