At that scale why didn't they go Old School and just buy an old mine shaft. No water bill with water naturally in the lower levels of a mine. Put a solar array or windmill above ground for a future power system to power it and use the same lights they did in their houses. That way it's all underground with no LED light frequency signature for the satellites to pickup, no electric bill and no water bill. Amateurs! Oh, and if they really want it stealthy, choose a mine with a spring above and divert some of the water for watering and to power instead of visible power above ground. It's what smarter players did in the ‘70s. That leaves their hole being maintance, transport and sales.

Globalists. Interesting how US globalists seem to love international crime, such as fast a furious operation with Sinaloa cartel by the now a days extremely nervous anti Trump, Obama uniparty.

:Heh: In Eastern Oklahoma on the extensive lumber company lands, Welcome to the

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Ministry of Defense of Afghanistan says at least eight bully boyz including a French national apparently fighting in ISIS ranks have been killed in northern Jawzjan province of Afghanistan.
The source further added that the bad boyz were potted in Darab district of Jawzjan during a clearance operation.

The local security officials in Jawzjan had also confirmed the report and had said that the woman was arrested from the vicinity of Darzab district.
The district police chief Faqir Mohammad Jawzjani said the French woman was arrested during a joint operation of the Afghan Special Forces and the foreign forces based in Afghanistan.
Earlier, Darzab district administrative chief Mohammad Dawar has told the AFP that "A number" of Algerian and Frenchies entered the largely IS-controlled district of Darzab in northern Jowzjan province in November.
He said at least two women were among the arrivals, who were travelling with a translator from Tajikistan as well as Chechens and Uzbeks, Dawar added.

[RADIOSHABELLE] U.S military carried out an Arclight airstrike against pro-Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... krazed killer in Bari region of Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... , security officials said.
A Puntland security officer, who requested anonymity, told Radio Shabelle that the airstrike occurred near Qandala coastal town on Monday.
The officer added that he could not confirm whether there are casualties.
The attack is the second U.S. airstrike against the ISIS-linked group in Puntland.
In November 2017, U.S military carried out its first airstrike on a base-held by the ISIS faction, killing at least one fighter.

[Al Jazeera] Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... , a veteran military commander in Libya, has reportedly been admitted to a hospital in La Belle France after suffering a stroke and slipping into a coma. His front man denied the reports, however.
Touted as a possible future leader of Libya, Haftar was hospitalised in Jordan on Tuesday after suffering breathing difficulties and a possible heart attack, sources told Al Jazeera on Wednesday.
According to French journalist Huguex Vincent, Hatar was then sent to Gay Paree and admitted on Wednesday to Val-de-Grace, a military hospital in the French capital, and his health condition is "serious", he said on Twitter.
But associates of the former military commander disputed the reports. The front man for Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) in eastern Libya, Ahmed al-Mismari, told al-Nabaa TV the general was well and news of his deteriorating health was untrue.

[DAWN] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's air defences on Wednesday "intercepted" a ballistic missile fired from rebel-held Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... at Riyadh, a military front man said, adding two others were shot down in southern Saudi Arabia.
The announcement came after an AFP journalist witnessed kabooms and heard three blasts over the capital, which has previously been targeted by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
"An Iranian ballistic missile launched from Sadaa towards Riyadh was successfully intercepted by Saudi Air Defence earlier today," Colonel Turki al-Malki, front man for the Saudi-led coalition fighting the Huthis, said.
He said Saudi forces also intercepted two missiles in the southern Jizan and Najran ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , a city in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the border with Yemen. It is the capital of Najran Province and a favored target of Houthirocket forces.... provinces close to the border with Yemen.
The attacks were claimed by the rebels via their news outlet al-Masirah.
"The missile force carried out a large-scale ballistic missile attack on various parts of Saudi Arabia," al-Masirah said.
As the announcement on the missile interceptions emerged, Malki also said in a separate statement that Saudi air defences had shot down two unmanned Yemeni drones on Wednesday in southern Saudi Arabia.
One of the drones was targeting the Abha international airport in Asir province, which led to a temporary suspension of air traffic, and a second was approaching a "civilian object" in Jizan province, he said.
The Huthis claimed attacks on Abha airport and Saudi Aramco, located in Jizan, via al-Masirah, publishing an infographic of the "Qasef 1" drone.
Aramco in a statement on Wednesday said, "Saudi Aramco operations and facilities, including our facilities in Jizan, are operating normally and safely".

The Mirage 2000-5 crashed approximately 9 miles northeast of #Skyros island returning to its base after a dog fight with turkish fighter jets thta violated #Greece´s airspace @BILDhttps://t.co/3xa0GqW2c4
More in the Daily Mail
A Greek air force plane has crashed into the eastern Aegean Sea after returning from a mission to intercept Turkish aircraft, killing its pilot.
Officials said the Mirage 2000-5 crashed Thursday north of the island of Skyros but gave information about the possible cause of the crash.
The Hellenic Air Force said in a statement that authorities lost contact with the jet some 9 miles northeast of the island at 12.15 p.m.
Patrolling has intensified in recent weeks amid a spike in tensions between Greece and Turkey and near-daily mock dogfights in disputed airspace.
Greek navy ships and army helicopters are searching for the missing pilot.
Greek soldiers fired warning shots at a Turkish helicopter after it approached a tiny Greek island of Ro in the eastern Aegean on Monday.
The Turkish coastguard helicopteer, flew along the outer limit of the air control identification zone between the two countries, both members of Nato.

I think Turkey could end up more dangerous than Iran. Perhaps our prez should cancel the Syria attack, arm the Kurds to the hilt including with heavy weapons and drones, then exit stage left. Between Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hezbollah, and all sorts of factions with the Kurds to rile them all up, they could be well occupied killing each other for the next 50 years.

[DAWN] A major fire that erupted in the mal khana [warehouse] of the City Courts in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... also engulfed the record house, destroying case properties, valuable records and ammunition, DawnNewsTV reported on Wednesday.
The fire broke out late on Tuesday night. Firefighters, rescuers and law enforcers rushed to the scene but were unable to effectively run a firefighting operation due to blasts in the warehouse. The kaboom also caused panic among residents of surrounding areas.
The fire was subsequently overcome in the morning after a struggle of six hours.
Sindh Inspector General A.D. Khowaja and other officials also visited the site. The IGP, while talking to media, said that a short circuit seems to be what caused the inferno in the warehouse which was constructed in the British era.
"However, a woman is only as old as she admits... final conclusions will be reached after a thorough investigation," he said.
Chief Fire Officer Tehseen Siddique told the media that bullets and explosives present in the warehouse caused the blasts.

[DAWN] At least seven Kashmiri people were killed in fighting in India-held Kashmire on Wednesday that sparked angry retaliatory protests and violent street festivities across the restive Himalayan region.
Kashmire ‐ divided between India and Pakistain but claimed in its entirety by both ‐ has witnessed a surge in violence with more than 100 people killed since the start of the year.
In the latest shootout, Indian forces killed four Kashmiris in Kulgam district in southern Kashmire, police said.
Hundreds of civilians marched on the village, chanting anti-India slogans and throwing stones at government forces who responded with live rounds, pellets and tear gas.
"Two civilians died when they came close to the encounter site," local police chief Shesh Paul Vaid told AFP. A soldier who was maimed during the fighting died later in a military hospital, Vaid said.

[DAWN] The Sindh government on Wednesday dismissed from service a former Senior Superintendent Police of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Central Prison and six other officials after an inquiry committee found evidence of their involvement in the escape of two high-profile Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ... (LJ) Lions of Islam last year, Dawn reported.
Sheikh Mumtaz alias Firaun and Mohammad Ahmed alias Munna, two Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ) Death Eaters, who were incarcerated Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! by the CTD in 2013 for their alleged involvement in the killing of over 60 people, had beat feet from the Central Jail on June 13, 2017.
A team of Sherlocks led by DIG Prisons retired Capt Pervez Ahmed Chandio conducted a detailed investigation into their escape and concluded that over a dozen jail officials "abetted and facilitated" the jailbreak.
"The accused Senior Superintendent of Prison Ghulam Murtaza Sheikh and his accused subordinates behaved carelessly, negligently and dishonestly throughout their tenure in maintaining discipline and order at the Central Prison Karachi," according to the findings of DIG Prisons.
DIG Chandio opined that at the time of the jailbreak the prison was being influenced by some "powerful" prisoners instead of the jail administration.
"The accused officers miserably failed to enforce Sindh Prisons Rules, 1978, and the departmental SOPs during the period in question, which ultimately created a loose environment for hardcore prisoners namely Mohammad Ahmed alias Munna and Sheikh Mumtaz to escape easily," he stated.

[Debka] Tehran’s resolve to make Israel pay for its airborne missile attack on the T-4 air base was conveyed on April 11 by outing the 7 Rev Guardsmen killed in the attack. Iran has never, in all seven years of its intervention in the Syria war, released its military casualties. But on Wednesday, April 11, for the first time, the Iranian Guards mouthpiece, the Tasnim News Agency, ran the names and photos of the seven members of its aerospace unit, who died in the airborne missile strike on the Iranian compound of the big T-4 bases it shares with the Russian and Syrian air forces. The agency also ran pictures of heavily damaged equipment.
By coming clean about its painful setback, the Tehran regime implicitly assured the public that it was not in vain and it was committed to a reckoning with the enemy for the deaths and damage on display. The supreme leader’s senior adviser, Ali Akbar Velayati, said so bluntly when he arrived in Damascus on Tuesday: “Israel’s air strike on the Syrian air base will not go unanswered,” he said, As he spoke, Tehran gained support from its ally in Moscow with the visit of Alexander Lavrentiev, the special Russian emissary on Syria. In a long meeting with Iran’s national security adviser Rear Admiral Ali Shamkhani, the Russian said Iran’s decision for a military response to the T-4 attack was understandble. He then proposed combining Iran’s action against Israel with Russia’s plans for countering the forthcoming US-British-France operation in Syria.
The Iranian and Russian officials were of one mind that Israel’s T-4 strike was the opening shot for that operation, and the next round of attacks would target Iranian and possibly also Russian targets in Syria. On this point, they cited President Donald Trump who said on Monday, April 9, in response to the chemical attack in Douma: “We can’t allow atrocities like that… If it’s the Russians, if it’s Syria, if it’s Iran, if it’s all of them together, we’ll figure it out.”
Equally out of sync was the theory put about in the last 24 hours by some sources in Jerusalem, that Israel has no part to play in the US-British-French punitive operation against the Assad regime in Syria, since its only interest lies in preventing Iran from establishing a military presence in that country.
That theory is no longer relevant, because whatever Israel does now, it is not off the hook. For Moscow, Tehran and Damascus, Israel is an integral part of the US-led alliance and is seen to have fired the first shot for the main operation against Syria. Therefore, while Israel geared up initially for a limited Iranian strike from its northern border, it is now feared that a military location deep inside the country may be targeted. During Wednesday, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu conducted back-to-back consultations with his top security advisers: Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenklot, Air Force Commander, Maj. Gen. Amikam Nurkin, Military Intelligence Director Maj. Gen. Tamir Heiman and head of the National Security Council Meir Ben-Shabbat.
