In response to the Mexican government’s efforts to “bully” the people of Oklahoma through a trade war, state Rep. Randy Terrill today called for imposing “much tougher sanctions on illegal aliens.” “This represents an attempt by a foreign nation to interfere with the sovereign actions of a U.S. state,” said Terrill, R-Moore. “We clearly not only have the right, but the responsibility to legislate for the public health, safety, morals and welfare of our citizens – not theirs. “The Mexican government should know that the people of Oklahoma will not be bullied or intimidated by anyone, anywhere.”

Afghan and US forces gearing up for a major offensive in Helmand province, near Marjah dropped leaflets warning people not to give shelter to the Taliban. Marjah is surrounded by fertile land where poppies grow easily, and the Afghan government’s limited presence allows the drug trade to flourish. The production of opium helps finance the Taliban. ** Hayden’s Note: The problem is, we aren’t eradicating the poppy fields. We are seizing them and have become the largest drug cartel in the world!

GAII speculates that the earthquake may have been the result of an eco-weapon, which “flattened the French embassy and many of its officials, imploded the United Nations’ own establishments in the Haitian capital, and no doubt obliterated evidence of US Government and rogue official drug-running complicity . . . channeled through the Haitian capital and Central Bank for many years.” Suffice it to say that the United States military is now completely in charge in Haiti.

The Nato Secretary General has said the London Conference on Afghanistan will be used to raise millions of pounds to pay off the Taliban leadership. NATO said it was necessary to “establish a trust to finance the reintegration programme” that would persuade the militants to lay down their weapons. The proposals will require huge amounts of money to pay for new jobs, pensions, land and even fund the relocation of senior militants abroad. [Am I really hearing this? Hayden's Note attached**]
