More pleas for help from Idaho company that wants to save Pocatello’s Hoku polysilicon factory! 1-thousand new jobs to be created?

23 November 2013 (18:09 UTC-07 Tango 22 November 2013)/19 Muharram 1435/02 Azar 1392/21 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

The following was sent by Francis W Kreais III of JCF Funding:

Gordon Jenkins has been working closely with Francis Kreais who is the founder and CEO of JCF Funding-who has been the front man for Arco Hills Silica Company making this deal work.

Gordon Jenkins is the president of Arco Hills Silica Company. This company owns some very large and very pure silica located in Butte County, Idaho. (About 20 Billion tons) When we heard of the bankruptcy auction of Hoku, we became extremely interested in acquiring that polysilicon plant because it fits in so well with what we are trying to do with our silica mine located near Arco Idaho.

We plan to purchase the entire plant at this upcoming auction because it would make it possible for us to go into operation without having to build our own processing plant. We also would benefit the local community because we would not only bring back the some 160 jobs related to the shutting down of the Hoku plant, but at least another 500 to 1000 jobs related to the development of our silica mine and related to the companies that are willing to move their plants out here to Idaho just so they can decrease the transportation costs of hauling the silica back to where they are already located.

Don’t take your Crapper for granted, it’s time to celebrate World Toilet Day!

20 November 2013 (14:53 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Muharram 1435/29 Aban 1392/18 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

The words crapper and crap, for that matter, are ligit.  They come from the name of a real person.  Thomas Crapper was a successful British plumber who was incorrectly associated with inventing the modern flush toilet.

The idea of a flushing toilet is ancient.  Archeologists say the first example was created for the King Minos more than 2800 years ago.  The first patent for a modern flushing toilet went to Alexander Cummings in 1775.  The first use of indoor plumbing and flush toilets was in 1825 by a hotel in Boston, Massachusetts.  But toilets back then were for the elites.  It wasn’t until after 1910 that flushing toilets took on a design similar to current toilets, and became affordable for us commoners.

And it wasn’t until after the Second World War that most commoner families of the Western World got indoor flush toilets.  I was in Scotland in 1991 and visited a museum dedicated to the history of sewage.  It even had a full size replica of a 1800s sewer system complete with stinking crap and piss (of course it was replicated, but who’d of thought somebody could be paid to make models of craps, other than those joke crap toys)!  But what awakened me to the fact that we take our crappers for granted was a small display that pointed out that most Scottish homes didn’t have indoor plumbing, or toilets, until after the 1950s!

Then you have to wonder at the Japanese, for taking toilets to the extreme.  Apparently the Japanese are so afraid of their rear ends they created toilets that blast their asses with water jets so they don’t have to wipe.  The latest Japanese toilets provide imaging systems and soothing female computer voices to tell them if they still have a nasty ass, and then it blasts them again.  (there are some people in the U.S. that are the same way and will pay top dollar for a robot toilet from Japan)

By the way the first production toilet paper wasn’t invented until 1857.   And the technology to make modern toilet brushes was used to create the first artificial Xmas tree, in the 1930s, thus linking Xmas and toilet cleaning.

Now to get serious,  the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) marked 19 November as World Toilet Day.  They want people to be aware of the major impact toilets have on reducing disease.  Even so, UNICEF says one reason for the rise of new diseases is the fact that (in their estimation) as many as 2-thousand children die every day because they live in areas that have no toilets, or way of handling sewage: “Access to toilets remains the unmentionable, shameful secret for even some very prosperous countries.  But its invisibility doesn’t make it harmless; in fact it is quite the reverse. Lack of access to toilets is quite literally killing children, making adults sick…”–Sanjay Wijesekera, UNICEF Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

So those of us commoners who have toilets should be proud, and thankful, for they truly are our porcelain thrones!

Oh commodus selarium deus, forgive me for taking you for granted. I am truly thankful to have you.

Oh commodus selarium deus, forgive me for taking you for granted! I am truly thankful to have you!

Martial Law: Google gets record World government demands for your personal data!

“Americans still have no way of knowing whether the government is striking the right balance between privacy and security, or whether their privacy is being violated.”-Al Franken, U.S. Senator from Minnesota

ABC (American Broadcasting Company) News reporting that Google has received a record number of U.S. federal government demands for your personal data.  In the first six months of 2013 the police state federal government demanding the info for 10918 Google users.  That’s 2949 more than all of 2012.  It’s double the government demands from 2009.

Google admits it turned over 83% of the data demanded.  Google officials also revealed that other governments have increased their demands for your personal data (14961 foreign government demands in first six months of 2013, and Google says they’ve complied with most of them).

One Japanese agency accuses another agency of making it unprecedentedly easy for terrorists to get nukes!

06 November 2013 (04:19 UTC-07 Tango)/02 Muharram 1434/15 Aban 1391/04 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

The Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) is accusing the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) of violating anti-terror laws, regarding the protection of nuclear material.

The JAEA runs the fast breeder Monju reactor: “The violations included the lack of background checks on visitors to Monju, and the lack of regular inspections over the past 3 years of a device that records vehicle and personnel entry into the compound……members of the Nuclear Regulation Authority said that such neglect at a plutonium handling facility is unprecedented.“-Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation

The NRA says the lax nuke reactor security is inherent in the way the JAEA is organized.

Economic Decline: Pocatello’s Hoku factory bought by construction contractor, to be parted out?

05 November 2013 (05:20 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Muharram 1434/14 Aban 1391/03 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

The $700-million USD white elephant known as Hoku Materials in Pocatello, Idaho U.S.A., just sold for a paltry $5.273-mill!

The construction contractor responsible for building the white elephant, JH Kelly, made the offer.  This after a bulk auction brought in a high bid of only $3.7-million, and a piecemeal auction resulted in a high bid under $5-mill.

JH Kelly then made an offer of $5.273-million, which will be reviewed in bankruptcy court on 12 November.  JH Kelly stands to lose a lot because Hoku failed to fully pay the contractor for the work (as well as failing to pay a lot of other companies).

JH Kelly will probably dismantle the factory as the parts can used in oil industry construction, which is JH Kelly’s forte.   Because of the current state of the polysilicon market it is not feasible to find a new polysilicon operator, and the parts are obviously worth more than the whole.

Exceptional Failed State: Idaho & other states beat out Obama Care, have been collecting & giving away your medical data for years!

“I was just really angry that that right had been taken away from me, to decide that I wanted information shared. Everything was being uploaded to this database.”-Karen Helms, filed complaint with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights

The supposed Red State conservative leaders of Idaho have been doing something that Obama Care opponents have been warning about; giving away your personal medical data!

It’s called the Idaho Health Data Exchange.  Exchange officials admitted they accessed patient records, unbeknownst to the patients, more than 343-thousand times in September alone.  Officials also admit they get weekly complaints from patients who find out about the data access.

The false republican governor, Butch Otter, supports the Idaho Health Data Exchange.  It began in 2008, and got a $5.9 million USD federal government grant in 2010.  Many states operate similar data programs.

“I understand it’s scary, but it’s a really good thing.”-Matt McGraw, Idaho Health Data Exchange

“What we’re really talking about here is patient autonomy, and they’re taking that away. I can’t believe this is happening, and I don’t agree with it.”-Karen Helms

Fluoride is poison! Insecticide companies say so! EPA & HHS say so! First use of Fluoride was as a bug killer!

“…a growing consensus that Americans are exposed to too much fluoride. It raises the concern that, for many decades now, the public has been overexposed.”-Jane Houlihan, Environmental Working Group, January 2011

“The compounds of fluorine which I employ for the purpose of destroying insects, are certain soluble ones, viz.: sodium fluoride, ferric fluoride, the silico-fluorides of the same bases, hydro-fluo-silicic acid, and the boro-fluo-silicates.”-from the first patent on the use of fluoride in 1896

“Investigations by the United States Bureau of Entomology with sodium fluoride have demonstrated that lice infesting poultry may be readily destroyed by the application of a small quantity of this powder.”–Parasites and parasitosis of the domestic animals

“It is used in the manufacture of effervescing steel, and the smelting and refining of light metals. It is also used in fluorination of drinking water, as a wood preservative, an adhesive preservative. An insecticide, a protective coating for metals, a pickle for steels and other metals, a flux for soldering and welding, as well as a flux and pacifier for ceramic, glass and porcelain enamel.”–Fluoride Chemicals (Yunnan) of China describing the many wonderful uses of their fluoride product

“U.S. EPA today proposed to start gradually banning a pesticide often used on cocoa beans and dried fruits that degrades to fluoride, a move closely linked to the Obama administration’s decision last week to curb the maximum levels of fluoride in drinking water out of concern for children’s health…………..The Department of Health and Human Services and EPA announced Friday that fluoride, long considered a beneficial tap-water additive that helps prevent cavities, should be restricted to 0.7 milligrams per liter, or the low end of previous legal ranges.”–The New York Times, 11 January 2011

“Fluoride, the primary toxin, interferes with the metabolism of stored fats and carbohydrates that the insect needs to maintain a sufficient source of energy (disrupts glycolysis and the citric acid cycle). The insect then uses protein and amino acids as an alternative source of energy; however, the metabolic rate does not increase sufficiently, and the insect dies. Mortality may not occur for several days…………The following effects were observed at 100 and 300 ppm: decreased body weights, mottled teeth, and injury to the brain, nervous system, liver, kidney, lung, and nasal tissues. In another study, animals died when exposed to concentrations of 600 ppm………At 200 ppm (5.0 mg/kg/day) dogs showed decreased body weight and body weight gain, nervous system effects and changes in the brain………Data is not available from work-related exposures, accidental poisonings, or epidemiological studies to indicate whether sulfuryl fluoride is likely to cause cancer in humans…….Animal studies show that fluoride binds to teeth and bones following long term exposures, resulting in mottled teeth……Sulfuryl fluoride is broken down by hydrolysis into fluoride……”-National Pesticide Information Center Technical Fact Sheet

“The false idea that ingesting fluoride is somehow good for your teeth. At best, fluoride is a topical treatment which should be swished around your mouth and then spat out.“-NaturalNews.com

Fluoride Wars, primary ingredient in Sarin Gas!

Fluoride Wars, people accused of being terrorists when they question water quality! Proof it’s a class warfare thing!

…..none of the drinking water buckets and pans for the dogs and cats were infected, even though they’ve been sitting for a few days.  The animal’s water buckets were filled with city water, which is treated with chlorine and contains fluoride. 

EPA and HHS admit too much fluoride is bad! Argentina says it causes diabetes! Japan says it causes cancer! China (and Harvard) says it reduces intelligence! 

Study contradicts pro-fluoride claims!

Even the ADA now suggests fluoride is bad!

Fluoridated water blamed for Dumbing Down Americans and causing chronic unexplained pain…..

“We have a great respect for our partners and allies who cooperate with us……..That’s all I have to say.”-Chuck Hagel, U.S. Secretary of Defense

“Google becomes the devil…”-Monica Rosina, Fundacao Getulio Vargas Law School in Brazil

Brazil: Google is accused of directly helping the U.S. NSA to steal millions of Brazilians’ personal data, including President Dilma Rousseff.  The Brazilian government has stopped all other debates and is working to create new laws that will block or penalize IT companies from passing personal data to other countries.  Google officials are whining that such new laws will restrict their plans to expand in Brazil.  The Brazilian government told Bilderberger Microsoft that its contract will not be renewed.

“These TAO accesses into several Mexican government agencies are just the beginning — we intend to go much further against this important target.”-leaked NSA Tailored Access Operations document

Mexico: U.S. government spied on Mexican government for at least a decade, under operations Flatliquid and Whitetamale.  They can be traced back to the beginning of Mexico’s so called Drug War.  The U.S. spying on the Mexican government suggest that the Bush Jr and Obama regimes actually considered the Mexican government the enemy, not the drug lords. (remember when the U.S. government was caught selling guns to drug lords?)

At the recent Organization of American States (OAS) meeting, U.S. officials failed to explain the NSA spying fiasco.  They blamed the False Flag government shut down (only 18% of government spending was stopped during the supposed shutdown): “With the government closed and most of its employees furloughed, we lost the time essential for us to engage our inter-agency colleagues and prepare for this hearing.”-Lawrence Gumbiner, Deputy U.S. Permanent Representative to OAS

Italy: 46 million phone calls recorded by U.S. NSA in just one month.

Spain: 61 million phone calls recorded by U.S. NSA (some reports say it was done in conjunction with United Kingdom’s Government Communications Headquarters) in just one month.

France: 70 million phone calls recorded by U.S. NSA (some sources say it was for Israel) in just one month.

Germany: 361 million phone calls recorded by U.S. NSA (including the Chancellor’s, some reports say for the British empire/United Kingdom) in just one month.

European Union: Parliament members are debating new laws that would directly affect Google, Apple and Facebook.

“Is Angela Merkel a terrorist? Are sixty or seventy million Spanish or French citizens terrorists? Are there terrorists at Petrobras? This is clearly about political power and economic espionage, and the claim that this is all about terrorism is seen around the world as what it is, which is pure deceit.”-Glenn Greenwald, journalist who revealed the NSA scandal

Other reports say most of the info gathered by the U.S. government was actually used for U.S. corporate/investment espionage, not true security issues.  That is a violation of international laws.

“New cybersecurity threats and revelations of widespread Internet surveillance are only two of emerging issues that the multi-stakeholder community must address.”-Elia Armstrong, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs

China is now using the U.S. NSA spying scandal to demand the United Nations create international laws to control the internet/cyberspace.

The government of China made the comment several days after the 8th UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) concluded.

At the four day IGF government spying through the internet was called “the elephant in the room”.

Japanese tech company, NTT Communications, announced they are taking over two U.S. companies in Colorado and California.

Virtela Technology Services, based in Colorado, provides corporations with computer networking service.

California’s RagingWire collects, processes and stores your personal data.

NTT Communications’ take over will be complete by January 2014.

Japan is part of the Trilateral Commission alliance.

The Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller in 1973.  The official goal is to foster economic and political co-operation between Japan, North American countries and European countries (notice these are the regions that are currently in big economic trouble).

In 2000, the Japan membership was expanded to include many other Asian countries, and is now called the Pacific Asia Group.

In April 2013, Japan became a member of NATO (which has become the Trilateral Commission’s military unit): “…..You might ask why the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should come to the Pacific region.  The answer is very simple.  Today’s NATO is a new NATO.  It’s a NATO with a global perspective.  It’s a NATO with global partners.  And Japan is our longest-standing global partner…..NATO and Japan are like-minded……we can help the United Nations and the international community to reinforce the rules-based international system……we need common approaches and responses…….To confront global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks, and proliferation…..And I am delighted that later today, Prime Minister Abe and I will sign a Joint Political Declaration to guide our future work.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General, from statement made on the morning of 15 April 2013, Japan National Press Club
