U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings 17 July 2014: “…that train is headed for the cliff!” Microsoft culls 18-thousand tech jobs! More casinos roll snake eyes! Another women’s clothing store goes down! “The doctors….just can’t sustain it anymore.” Obamacare culls more healthcare jobs!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

An east coast female clothing store now chapter 11 bankrupt busted. Love Culture owes its landlords tens of millions of dollars in back rent.  Their website still says they are growing and expanding their business!  Company officials stated that the bankruptcy will allow them to shutdown many of their 80 stores.  The company founders chose a bad year to start up a corporation; 2007.

Arizona: Who said tech jobs were recession proof?  In Tucson, California based tech company Intuit announced they’re killing 200 jobs in the near future.  Company officials refused to explain why, or exactly when they would take place.  If you go back over my previous Job Losses reports you’ll notice that Intuit has been steadily laying off employees in California.

California: Speaking of Intuit, they also announced they are killing an additional 127 Golden State jobs in September!  Taxsucker Boeing announced that 58 Golden Staters will be laid off in September.  More proof you can’t blame the internet for killing brick-n-mortar stores.  Yet another women’s clothing retailer in trouble, this time San Francisco based internet seller ModCloth.  Reports say the internet operation laid off about 70 employees, even though they’re advertising that they’re hiring.  ModCloth has also been accused of modifying the pics of clothing on their website.  Staying in San Francisco, the Grand Cafe warned that at least three employees will be let go in September.  In Porterville, Foster Poultry Farms announced 60 chicken pluckers will be laid off come September.  In Los Angeles, Wolfgang Pucks shutting down their restaurant at LAX Terminal 2 in September, 24 jobs lost.  Also at Terminal 1 LAX, Delaware North Companies (DNC) Travel Hospitality Services shutting down their Back Lot Deli in September, 25 jobs lost.  In Montebello, insurance industry created Obama Care forcing Beverly Community Hospital to cull 82 healthcare jobs in September.  In El Dorado Hills, Video Products Distributors IV announced they are shutting down in September, 17 jobs lost.

Georgia: In Atlanta, after 50 years snooty upscale private for profit Bauder College announced it is shutting down in 2015! It’s blamed on massive disappearing students.  In 2009 the college had 12-hundred students, it’s now less than 420!  College officials said by the start of the 2015-16 school year they’ll be down to 75!  You see, the U.S. economy is so bad even wealthy people can’t afford to pay for college!

Kentucky: What automotive industry recovery? In Maysville, Federal Mogul warned of 157 layoffs! The maker of automotive parts is consolidating operations out-o-state.  Obama Care killing 70 healthcare jobs at Jennie Stuart Medical Center: “…like many hospitals nationwide….We are adjusting to federal sequester cuts, declining Medicare reimbursement, an increasingly complex and restrictive Medicaid system, and a commercial insurance marketplace that is placing more of the burden of cost on its insureds.”– official statement from hospital

Maine: What housing market recovery?  After 61 years window maker Waterville Window now chapter 7 bankrupt busted and liquidating.  The company began laying off employees in December 2013.

Michigan: The city of Flint is warning that Obama Care’s increased employee benefit costs and the bad economy are pushing the city into bankruptcy: “Flint’s at the forefront, but a lot of cities are on the same train, and that train is headed for the cliff!”-Eric Scorsone,  Michigan State University economist

Minnesota: In Minneapolis, after nine years Social House restaurant shutdown, the operators blame the property owner for kicking them out, saying “We had absolutely no control over this situation…” 

Mississippi: Obama Care forcing Trace Regional Hospital to shutdown their Emergency Room in September: “The federal government is cutting or eliminating programs that pay hospitals for treating uninsured patients. This money is being redirected to fund the cost of Medicaid expansion….”-State Senator David Blount

New York: In Auburn, air conditioner maker Daikin Applied warned it is shutting down just in time for the New Year, 415 employees affected!  In Newfane, Obama Care forcing Eastern Niagara Hospital to cull 185 healthcare jobs beginning in October!

Nevada: In Laughlin, the River Palms Resort Casino announced they will kill at least 271 jobs in September!  The casino was sold off, and it’s not known what the new owners are planning to do with the property.

North Carolina: After 35 years Obama Care (Affordable Care Act) forcing Cancer Centers of North Carolina (CCNC) to shutdown in October, 135 healthcare jobs lost: “The doctors have really tried for the past couple years to stay independent. They just can’t sustain it anymore.”-Sheri Dyke, CCNC director

Ohio: Uranium mining company Fluor-B&W Portsmouth issued a WARN, saying all 19-hundred employees and subcontractors could lose their jobs by Autumn!  Company officials say they are losing money due to the crashing price of uranium, a similar situation to what is crashing and burning the coal mining industry.

Pennsylvania: In Lawrenceville, Paragon Foods canceled their plans to build a distribution center.  The female president of the company said “It was unaffordable for us…”  God refuses to stop the Franktuary hot dog restaurant at Trinity Cathedral from shutting down: “We’ve come to the end of an era.  Franktuary will close its original set of doors on National Hot Dog Day, July 23rd, at 4 p.m.”-owners

Tennessee: Another U.S. shoe factory shuts down, this time Wellco Enterprises shuttered its Morristown factory, 53 jobs lost.  Before the 2010 takeover by Wellco the taxsucking factory used to make boots for the U.S. Department of Defense.

Texas: In Amarillo, after 88 years (surviving the Great Depression and numerous recessions) Beebe’s Ace Hardware & Building Supply shutdown.  Back in the day ‘hardware’ meant hammer and nails, not hard drives or motherboards. The owner blames Globalization: “It used to be everything in the lumber business was made in the U.S., we live in a world economy now. He [the founder of the store] would have a fit if he knew we were selling tools that were made in China and Indonesia…..plywood from Russia, from South America, from Chile, from Australia and hardwood from Indonesia. It’s just incredible….”-Parker Beebe

Who said tech jobs were recession proof? In Plano, computer company Dell announced they are killing an undisclosed number of jobs around the World.  Dell officials said less than 175 Texans would be laid off.   The company calls job killing ‘optimizing operations’: “We can confirm that we have taken steps to optimize our operations over the past few years and recently.” 

Virginia: In Staunton, the Dixie Theater shutdown.

Washington: Who said tech jobs were recession proof?  Redmond based Microsoft finally revealed its massive job culling plan; 18-thousand by the end of 2015!  Analysts knew it would be big, but not that big.  Reports say about 55-hundred job losses will be in the United States! It’s partly blamed on Microsoft’s takeover of Finland’s Nokia (apparently thousands of Finns are soon to be jobless), but some of the U.S. layoffs come from the shutdown of Xbox Entertainment Studios.

West Virginia: In Charleston, after 84 years (and surviving the Great Depression and numerous recessions) the Sport Mart Superstore announced they will shutdown in August.  The owners blamed “ever changing demographics, competition from big chain stores, the Internet and the local economy have all contributed to sales erosion.”

Wisconsin: Internet based Anthem College shutting down its Brookfield operation in September, 30 jobs lost.  In Milwaukee, Associated Bank shutting down its Wisconsin Avenue office in August.

15 – 16 July 2014: “It is extremely scary!”

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shutdown.  It doesn’t count people who get a severance for being laid off.

World War 3: “This is where armor fights!” Idaho National Guard returns to Cold War era ‘Total Force’ warfare training! First female combat mechanic! Pure Armor ecstasy!

12 September 2014 (23:59 UTC-07 Tango 11 September 2014)/16 Dhu l-Qa’da 1435/20 Shahrivar 1393/19 Gui-You 4712

“…we’re re-energizing that thing that we knew, and applying the new systems that are available to us. It continues what we’ve established over the last 10 years in Afghanistan and Iraq; it’s an opportunity for us to combine forces and re-engage the heavy fight….”-Colonel Brad Christopher, 116th Cav Brigade Combat Team Idaho National Guard

After a decade of training for low intensity conflicts (like the questionable occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan) the Idaho and Oregon National Guards just concluded new Total Force warfare training, similar to what we trained for during the Cold War and in the 1990s.

Back in the day, we trained hard for massive force on force warfare with the ultimate ground force wargame being held at Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC) in California.  But that all went away with the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.  (remember, not one Afghan or Iraqi was involved in the 9-11 attacks on the U.S., the alleged attackers were Saudi, Egyptian, Lebanese or from the UAE)

Apparently the growing tensions with Russia is pushing the U.S. Army to return to Cold War training, even though the Obama regime continues to deny that we’re returning to a Cold War mentality.

“Being at the Orchard Training Center allows leaders to get their tanks, their Bradleys and their crews and Soldiers with live-fire and tactical maneuver and practice those skills, so when and if it becomes time to use them, they are already trained, proficient and confident.”-Lieutenant Colonel Brian Dean,  3-116th Cav Battalion Oregon National Guard

Orchard Training Area (OTA), south of Boise, was recently the scene of massive armor and artillery (I assume  Pocatello’s 1-148th Arti was there, for a couple of years I was a 13F with that unit) wargames not seen since the late 1990s.  Units from the U.S. Army’s Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, as well as Army Reserve and the Idaho and Oregon National Guards went head to head in the eXportable Combat Training Capability (XCTC, pronounced ‘ecstasy’) operation.

As a former 19K with B Co 2-116th Armored Cav (as it was known then), as well as a former 19E with California’s D Co 1-185th Armor (I was also a 12F with CSC 1-185th Armor before that, and somewhere in between I was an IsoDock crew chief on C-130s with 463rd MAC at Dyess AFB),  I can tell you that being on the line during tank gunnery is XCTC.

Click the pics to make bigger (unfortunately some of the photos were taken with crappy 110 camera with fixed focus lens and are fuzzy)

A couple of sergeants from Oregon accuratly describe what it’s like training at the OTA: “This environment and these big guns going off just adds to the chaos.  We eat a lot of dirt out here, a lot of dirt!”-Staff Sergeant Brian Allender

“It’s an adrenaline rush when you’ve got tanks and Bradleys and armor meshing out here in the middle of nowhere. It’s a lot of fun! The training value out here is invaluable. This is where armor fights!”– Staff Sergeant David Wahlstrom

Of note, a woman has become the first female M1A2 SEP mechanic in the Oregon National Guard.  Specialist Samantha Brumley also took part in the recent XCTC wargames, but never thought she’d be a first: “I wanted to be a nurse. I actually wanted to be a medic when I got in, but that didn’t happen….I like getting hands-on. I like getting dirty…I never thought I would join the National Guard and be a tank mechanic. I certainly never thought I’d be the first woman.”

Business/Economics

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings 02 – 03 July 2014: “This would be a worst case scenario…” God can’t stop the bad economy! “…please continue to pray…” Military contractor admits U.S. forces inside Iran? More Obamacare job cuts!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

California: Who said the internet is killing brick-n-mortar businesses?  In San Francisco, ebay owned internet movie-concert ticket seller StubHub! killed 100 jobs! Company officials refused to comment to local news sources.  In Orange, Children’s Hospital of Orange County killed another 89 jobs.  This is on top of the 61 layoffs in June and the 20 layoffs in May, for a grand total of 170 in three months!  Hospital officials say job layoffs are the only way they can deal with decreasing insurance payments caused by Obama Care.  In Petaluma, Massachusetts based Brooks Automation announced they’re shutting down in October, 89 jobs lost.

Colorado: In Loveland, the Family Tree Restaurant shutdown and the owners are pissed about the bad economy saying “We don’t have enough customers to pay our bills, so we’re closing our doors! ….it’s stupid…..We did our crying….”  Also, it was discovered that the Red Dragon restaurant shutdown in June, the property was sold off back in May.  Also, the Great Wall Chinese Buffet could be shutting down due to the fact the greedy property owner is trying to sell off the building.  However, the restaurant owner swears “We’re not going anywhere!”

Hawaii: In Waikiki, Capital One shutting down their 360 Cafe in August.  The property is owned by California based  American Commercial Equities and might have been sold off.  In Honolulu, after only five years Cake Couture shutdown, not surprising when they were charging $3.50 for a little cupcake.

Maryland: In Silver Springs, after 64 years Dale Music Company shutdown.  The co-owner blamed the bad economy and greedy property developers: “We have done what we can. It would be too expensive to move, and with Silver Spring redevelopment happening now, we decided it was best to close our doors.”-Carol Warden

Massachusetts: In Woburn, the Sea Dog Brew Pub now chapter 7 bankrupt busted, and shutdown without notice.

Michigan: Thomas M. Cooley Law School warned of major employee and program cuts, due to disappearing students.  They reported a 40% drop in enrollment from 2010 to 2013!

Missouri: Medicare reviewer Primaris warned of massive layoffs due to Obama Care, starting in August.  Company officials say the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act caused them to loose a $5-million USD contract!

New Mexico:  Los Alamos National Laboratory contractor and U.S. taxsucker and Mormon owned Energy Solutions killed 115 jobs!  Company officials swear it has nothing to due with the explosion at the Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP).    By the way, back in 2005 Energy Solutions founder and LDS member, Steve Creamer, actually lobbied the state of Utah to ban nuclear ‘B’ and ‘C’ waste storage in the Beehive State!  Is that ironic or hypocritical?

New York: What automotive industry recovery?  Manhattan Ford Lincoln announced they’re shutting down in September, 245 jobs lost!  In Albany, RiverSource Life Insurance announced they’re shutting down and moving to Minnesota, 29 jobs lost.  Company officials blame the bad economy in the Empire State.  Also, Newkirk Products announced they are moving 76 jobs out-o-state in October.  In Bronx, IAC Acoustics announced they’re shutting down in November, 101 jobs lost!  In NYC, The New York Times reports that the Wall Street Journal killed up to 40 jobs.  Eastern Niagara Hospital laying off 60 healthcare workers.  Officials blame Obama Care for forcing them to consolidate ops with another hospital: “Healthcare is undergoing a very significant change. Hospitalizations are decreasing and work is shifting to outpatient care, so we are reacting to the shifts that are occurring.”-Clair Haar, CEO

North Carolina: In Raleigh, after 47 years the city’s first Dunkin’ Donuts shutdown.  The owners said their franchise agreement expired in December 2013, and they just can’t afford to renew it.

Ohio: In Tipp City, after two years of bragging that it was about to add 500 jobs, Process Equipment actually killed 70 jobs.  Back in 2012 the fabrication company was in trouble, so one of the partner-owners spent his own money buying the company in order to save it.  He thought he had some big contracts lined up so he announced he was about to buy new property and hire hundreds of new employees, but apparently that all fell through due to the bad economy.  Now Process Equipment is shutting down its equipment, gear and robotic welding services lines.  In Dayton, the Dayton Mall and the Mall at Fairfield Commons are both up for sale.  They are the biggest malls in the city.

Oregon: Texas based Berry Family of Nurseries announced they’re shutting down their Cornelius ops in September, at least 100 jobs lost!  Company officials blame it on crashing sales to their clients Lowe’s, Home Depot and Walmart.

Pennsylvania: New Obama Care medical device taxes forcing Johnson & Johnson to kill 400 jobs with its DePuy Synthes medical device subsidiary!  The Prince Music Theater told its landlord that it will not be able to pay its rent for October.  Theater officials also said that unless they can find a lot of money fast they’re out-o-business.

Tennessee: In Nashville, the Green Wagon “sustainable” products store shutting down their brick-n-mortar ops and going mobile.  They’re shifting to a Green Wagon ‘food type’ truck and internet site. Apparently they can’t afford the rent and utilities of a old school store.

Texas:  In San Angelo, Tennessee based SITEL (Systems International TELemarketing) announced as many as 348 people will be laid off, saying “This would be a worst case scenario…”!  The company lost a major contract, officials said they could not reveal who the contract was with.

Virginia: Snack maker Prime Choice Foods now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  Company officials say the need a new ‘partner’ willing to make a big investment in order to survive bankruptcy.  In Roanoke County, taxsucking military contractor Exelis Night Vision and Communications Solutions killed 60 jobs.  Earlier this year the company laid off an undisclosed number of employees, and in the past three years they killed at least 800 jobs!  A local news report slipped up and reported that Exelis was supplying U.S. forces inside Iran: “Demand [for] the company’s night vision goggles and other products has dropped due to a reduction of U.S. forces in Iraq and Iran.”-WTOP 103.5 FM

Washington: In Redmond, after tens years award winning video game maker Airtight Games shutdown without notice. Earlier in the year 14 employees were laid off.  Company officials did not give a reason for their surprise shutdown, but did thank their fans.  God refused to stop Seattle based Mars Hill Church from killing jobs.  Officials with the mega-church blame the bad economy for a surprise crash in tithes: “…the budget crunch caught the executive elders by surprise and was related to a dramatic decline in attendance and giving…please continue to pray for the church as we navigate through a tough season.” 

Wisconsin: In Stevens Point, Copps and Roundy’s grocery distribution center shutting down in August, 196 jobs lost!  27 Roundy’s grocery stores were sold off to SuperValu.  The first Roundy’s was opened in 1872.

01 July 2014:  “30 minutes is a long time when you’re dying!” 

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

World War 3: Statements from Iran reveal they’re at war with both the West & East

27 August 2014 (15:37 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Dhu l-Qa’da 1435/05 Shahrivar 1393/03 Ren-Shen (8th month) 4712

“Our response to this aggression will not be diplomatic. We will retaliate in the battlefield, but will not necessarily announce it. The enemy will see and understand it.”-Brigadier General Hossein Salami, Islamic Revolution Guards Corps

“The message of the Palestinian nation’s great victory in the Gaza war is a call on all Islamic governments and nations to practice full-scale resistance against the hegemonic and arrogant powers….the forefront is now arming the West Bank in the campaign against the usurper Zionist regime.”-statement from The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran

“We believe the West Bank, too, should be armed just like Gaza and those who are interested in the fate of the Palestinians must work in this respect so that the pains and miseries of the Palestinian people will be decreased due to their mighty hands and the weakness of the Zionist enemy.”-Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei

“Reinforcement of counter-terrorism teams and bomb defusing experts in Sistan and Balouchestan province is on our agenda……We will witness major changes and developments in these provinces by sealing the borders….A new [U.S. backed] terrorist group has started operation….and it has committed murders in the Southern parts of the country and they attack people under the cover of defending the Sunnis….”-Brigadier General Esmayeel Ahmadi Moqaddam, national police chief

“…different European and western countries and famous world industries….have collaborated with the Zionist regime and the U.S. efforts to sabotage Iran’s nuclear industry…..The Islamic Republic of Iran inevitably purchases certain parts from certain developing countries in the ‘East’, but unfortunately they are also sabotaging Iran’s nuclear industry.  We might not be surprised by the ‘West’s’ sabotage operations against Iran…..but we are certainly stunned when such moves are made by the eastern countries…”-Ali Akbar Salehi, Atomic Energy Organization of Iran

World War 3: Iraq shoots down Israeli drone? U.S. admits to massive use of Israeli drones!

27 August 2014 (14:49 UTC-07 Tango)/01 Dhu l-Qa’da 1435/05 Shahrivar 1393/03 Ren-Shen (8th month) 4712

“…..all Hermes missions will be halted in skies over Iran, Iraq, Syria, Palestinian territories and Lebanon.”-unnamed former U.S. military official in statement to Fars News Agency

Breaking news reports out of Iraq say Iraqi forces might have shot down an IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) drone over Baghdad.  At the moment, Iraqi military officials are refusing to comment.

What seems to be sure is that an IDF drone has crashed near the Baghdad Airport.  Reports say U.S. embassy security personnel are on scene, to prevent the drone from falling into ‘enemy’ hands.

News reports say it is the same type shot down by Iran on the 24th, which might also be the same type shot down by Palestinian Mujahideen in Gaza City.

World War 3: Iran shoots down Israeli drone, claims it will now attack IDF troops occupying Palestine! Mujahideen shoot down Israeli drone! U.S. shoots up Iranian boat!

“Arming the West Bank has started and weapons will be supplied to the people…The Zionists should know that the next war won’t be confined to the present borders and the Mujahedeen will push them back.”-Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, Iranian Sazmane Basij-e Mostaz’afin (volunteer militia) commander

“We will accelerate the arming of the West Bank and we reserve the right to give any response.”-General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, IRCG

Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced they shot down an Israeli drone on 24 August 2014.  They say the drone was heading for the Iranian Natanz uranium enrichment site.

Also, Israeli news sources reported that Palestinian Mujahideen shot down an Israeli drone (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV) over Gaza City.  Palestinian Mujahideen posted video to the internet showing what they say are remains of the drone.

Today Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri, of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stated that Iran will now strike at Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) occupying Palestine.

Iranian intelligence also says the IDF drone was actually launched from a Central Asian country friendly to Israel.  There is an implication that Iran will retaliate against that country as well.

A South East Asian news source is reporting that Iran will now “accelerate” efforts to arm Palestinian Mujahideen.

Also today, the U.S. Coast Guard reports they shot at an Iranian boat in the Persian Gulf.  The wimpy Coast Guard claims they were being attacked, but here’s what really happened: For some reason the Coast Guard ship dispatched a small armed boat towards an armed Iranian merchant ship.  As the U.S. boat approached the merchant ship the Iranian crew naturally trained their machine guns on the U.S. boat.  That’s when the U.S. crew fired.

The U.S. Coast Guard claims they were in radio contact with the merchant ship when it suddenly stopped communicating.  That’s why they dispatched a boat, to investigate why the radio communication was cutoff.  (sure)

False Flag U.S.A.: First Operation Vibrant Response & Vigilant Guard, now Vigilant Vortex! More to come in 2015!

22 August 2014 (02:15 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Shawwal 1435/31 Mordad 1393/27 Ren-Shen 4712

The massive military disaster training continues in the United States.  I already told you about the U.S. Army’s NorthCom Vibrant Response, the National Guard’s Vigilant Guard, now Vigilant Vortex brings European forces into the United States.

Last week the Minnesota National Guard hosted the 2nd annual Vigilant Vortex mass casualty exercise, which included the Heartland Animal Rescue, Red Cross and at least 30 state and federal government agencies as well as observers from Croatia (Minnesota provides military overwatch of Croatia, like California does for Ukraine).

Vigilant Vortex didn’t focus on a nuclear event, but on response to a massive chemical spill and damage from multiple tornadoes.

In 2015 Vigilant Vortex will be expanded involving a full-scale ground operation.

U.S. Civil War Chicago, 11 – 15 August 2014: FBI quietly begins gun confiscation mission! People being killed in front of police station! Notice how many people are gut shot! FD & PD officials continue to contradict each other!

Incomplete list:

3500 block of South Indiana Avenue: 25 years old man gut shot to death just one block from a Chicago police station!  Police say they “found” the man after he was killed, yet somehow they know that he was shot by another man who walked up to the victim before shooting.

7100 block of South Green Street: 26 years old man shot three times and killed supposedly by a drive by shooter in a white car.  Police don’t give a shit because they declared the victim a “documented” gangbanger.

9200 block of South Dobson Avenue:  17 years old boy shot and killed supposedly by drive by shooter in silver car.  News reports say “someone” drove him to a hospital.

103rd and State streets: 22 years old man sitting in a vehicle was somehow shot in the butt and ankle by a person using a rifle, according to police.  Police say they found spent casings for a rifle in the intersection.

9800 block of South Ellis Avenue: 32 years old man shot in the leg and back, 19 years old man gut and butt shot.

7400 block of South Greenwood Avenue: 21 years old man gut shot supposedly by drive by shooter, according to police.

500 block of West 80th Street: 29 years old man shot in the hand while on his porch.

3900 block of West Grand Avenue: 17 years old boy shot in the leg and wounded.

11300 block of South Carpenter Street: 28 years old man shot and wounded.

1100 block of West 80th Street:  Two men in their 30s shot and wounded.

8600 block of South Ingleside Avenue: Three people in their back yard shot and wounded.  Police say the shooter was in the alley.  Police reported two people in serious condition, one in stable condition, yet Fire Department officials say all three are in critical condition.

11800 block of South Princeton Avenue: 15 years old boy shot and wounded in the arm and gut, by drive by shooter.

65 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) personnel began a intelligence and surveillance mission for the expressed purpose of future arrests and gun confiscations: “This is a new tactic the FBI is using in fighting crime.  By working in a concentrated area and a concentrated time on the street, although the FBI has been working hand in hand and day in and day out with the police department.”-unnamed FBI spokesperson

The FBI mission was pushed for by Obama puppet Rahm Emanuel.  An unnamed Chicago police officer told the Chicago Sun-Times that he was shocked by the federal government operation: “It’s mind-boggling, it’s almost unheard of!  I thought the mayor and the police superintendent had said they don’t need more police on the streets?”

“You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”-Rahm Emanuel, Obama regime puppet

40 Illinois State troopers are now assigned to the Chicago Police Fugitive Unit.  For the next 30 days they will help city police hunt down wanted individuals, at least that’s the official story.

It’s interesting that the police seem to know how most shootings went down, even though they weren’t present and most victims refuse to “cooperate”.  And yet, few arrests.

The majority of victims are male.  Police continue to insist most of the gun violence is caused by gangbangers, but have made few arrests. That’s because police believe most of the victims are also gangbangers.  Realize that police in metropolitan areas keep records of whose who in the local gangs, this how they know if a victim is a “documented gang member”.  This also means police probably know who the assailants are.   So why no arrests?

Once again, shooting victims were not armed, it’s as if the shooters are deliberately targeting unarmed people.  It also questions the police claims that the victims are gang members.  Wouldn’t they be armed?

New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used in Chicago shootings are already illegal!

Now here’s something interesting: Notice police claim most of the victims of the shootings are gangbangers, and realize that it’s the families of those victimized gangbangers demanding all out police state gun bans! Is that irony?

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security….That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013, calls Chicagoland his homie town

Fukushima, Idaho

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: WIPP employee lawsuit! France & Idaho connection to Fukushima & WIPP! Cosmic rays to be used at Fukushima! Hows your underwear?

14 August 2014 (01:47 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Shawwal 1435/23 Mordad 1393/19 Ren-Shen 4712

Customs/Port officials in Korea, south, have discovered a shipment of scrap metal from Japan is highly radioactive.  20 kilograms (44 pounds) of scrap metal was found to be contaminated with cesium-137.  They’ve ordered the ship to return to Japan.

Officials with the district of Hong Kong, China, are refusing to lift the ban on food from five Japanese prefectures affected by the ongoing nuke disaster at Fukushima Daiichi.

In Japan‘s Fukui Prefecture nuclear power plant inspectors have discovered a new danger; seawater pumps at Takahama Nuclear Power Plant could be destroyed by tornadoes.  Kansai Electric Power Company is now trying to protect the pumps with steel plates and steel nets.

A Virginia U.S.A. company (Decision Sciences International Corporation aka DSIC) has been hired by Japan’s Toshiba to use cosmic rays to scan the melted down GE designed reactor units at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

What most people don’t understand is that nobody has been able to see what’s happening in the reactors, because the contamination levels are so high that it will kill humans, and even the electronics in robots get fried if they’re in the buildings for too long!  This is why this disaster is ongoing more than three years later (and why I believe China Syndrome is now in play).

DSIC will use two muon detectors to scan the reactors.  The detectors will be placed in a reactor building,  on opposite sides of the containment vessel.  Muons are considered harmless, but they can pass through just about anything, however their direction of travel can be altered by dense objects.  The scanners will create a 3D image that will hopefully show exactly where the mass of molten fuel rods are.   By the way, Toshiba openly refuses to say how much they’re paying DSIC for the work.

The neo-imperialist government of Japan has announced it will spend  $3-billion USD to help Fukushima Prefecture recover from the ongoing nuclear disaster, but there’s a catch.  In order to get the money the municipalities within the prefecture must agree to become nuclear waste storage sites!

The bribe comes after three years of utter failure in filtering radioactive water at Fukushima Daiichi, prompting Tokyo Electric Power Company to call it quits, almost.

The experimental and expensive (TEPCo openly refuses to say how much it cost!) filtration system was only able to operate for three months before being repeatedly shutdown for multiple problems, mainly leaks.   TEPCo says there is another problem, radiation contamination.

The filtration system is so radioactive that it has become like the melted down reactors onsite; too ‘hot’ to literally handle.  This is the true reason for the abandonment of the Areva designed filtration system, because throwaway employees cannot get near the system just to perform maintenance!  A new ‘treatment’ system is being tried, and of course all the water that goes through these systems end up in the ocean.

Areva is a French company, and this brings us to Idaho, U.S.A.

Areva is a contractor at the United States’ Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and has just ben awarded a $34-million contract to turn the INL  into a low level nuclear waste storage site.  It involves building 200 concrete nuke waste trash cans (vaults) underground.

INL and Department of Energy also held a health conference in Idaho Falls, regarding the Radiation and Worker Health Program’s scheme (Special Exposure Cohort) in determining health problems caused by radiation: “If a person who worked at INL gets cancer and feels like their cancer is due to radiation exposure they received on the job, they could file a claim in this program and our job at NIOSH is (to) attempt to reconstruct the dose, that person received while they were here. You know how much dose they could have received. Once we have done that, the Department of Labor takes that information and determines whether their cancer was more likely or not caused by the radiation exposure.”-Stuart Hinnefeld, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

It turns out that INL was chosen for the public forum because several hundreds of claims of radiation caused cancer have been filed!

A live reporter with local TV station(s) KIDK-KIFI reported that several DoE employees, and former employees, say their cancer caused by contamination claims have gone unanswered!   (It’s interesting that KIDK-KIFI did not put that info in their text version of the story, it was relayed by their live reporter)

The INL is also one of the major suppliers of nuclear waste to New Mexico’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).  And speaking of WIPP, the first of what could be many lawsuits by employees has been filed.

It turns out the lawsuit was actually filed in May!  The waste handler claims he suffered several types of injuries during the salt truck fire, including inhalation of toxins.   He is one of at least a dozen people hurt during the February fire.  He is now having to travel to Colorado for undisclosed respiratory treatments.  The DoE has admitted that one worker is still undergoing treatments.  The employee stated that he’s constantly tired, and coughs and vomits “all the time”.

In United Kingdom, entrepreneur Richard Branson announced he would market radiation proof underwear.  They’re made with silver thread.  Scientist scoffed at the idea, after all if you could make radiation proof underwear then you’ve solved the problem for humans undertaking long distance space flight (with all that lethal cosmic radiation floating about).

“We’re preparing for the worst day in America.”

Fukushima – WIPP – Radiation Fallout: WIPP inspections never done! China Syndrome confirmed at Fukushima! Melt downs started 5 hours before originally thought! Pouring water directly on core made things worse!

“We’re preparing for the worst day in America.”-Colonel Lawrence Terranova, U.S. Army NorthCom

Back in June I wrote how the GE designed reactor Unit 2, at Fukushima Daiichi, could very well be experiencing China Syndrome.  Now, Tokyo Electric Power Company confirms Chine Syndrome in reactor Unit 3!

TEPCo has now discovered that all the nuclear fuel rods in Unit 3 melted through the reactor core, and are working their way through the containment vessel!

It was also revealed that the melt downs at Fukushima Daiichi started at least five hours before an official government investigation stated.   Unit 3 actually began melting down at 05:30 hours on 13 March 2011 (The cooling system actually stopped six hours earlier than originally claimed.  You conspiracy theorist need to get busy with this one!).

TEPCo says melted fuel in the containment vessel halts their plan to decommission the reactors.   The ijits assumed the reactor cores were stable.  Another kink in their plans to decommission the reactors is the fact that all their attempts to filter radioactive isotopes out of the cooling water have officially failed.   So what now, you nuclear engineering geniuses?

TEPCo also discovered that pouring water directly on the reactor cores back in 2011 made things worse, by creating a chemical reaction that built up explosive hydrogen gas.

Japanese news media have revealed that TEPCo is fudging on its ice wall attempt.  They’re supposed to be using a giant frigeration system to freeze the ground around Fukushima Daiichi, in the hopes it will stop contaminated groundwater from getting into the ocean.  However, TEPCo now admits they’re dumping 15-tons of huge ice blocks, per day, into the trenches meant for the in-ground AC unit.   They claim they are only trying to “speed things up”.  Why can’t they just admit they don’t know what they’re doing and start dumping concrete on the whole thing?

And now for some more bad news:  Japan has been hit with massive amounts of rain, this means Fukushima Daiichi is flooding even more radioactive isotopes into the Pacific Ocean.

In the United States: “A study from 2012 reports that the plume of radiation made a serious impact on Southern and Central California, with Southern California’s seaweed testing at a 500 percent higher level of radiation than normal…..

…..Elevated levels of iodine-131, which is a product of nuclear fission and exceeds the levels of contaminant permitted in the water supply, have been reported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)….

….radioactive elements that are present in California are Iodine, Cesium-134 and Cesium-137…..

…the Japanese government’s Meteorological Institute, found that levels of cesium 137 at the surface of the Pacific could potentially be 10,000 times higher that the contamination at Chernobyl….

….In 2012 the U.S. government ordered 14 million pills of Potassium Iodide….”–Adrianne Hill

In New Mexico, more confusion about the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).  This time it was revealed that federal Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) wasn’t conducting mandatory quarterly inspections of WIPP!

MSHA officials claim they were confused as to just how much authority they had at the Department of Energy’s (DoE) WIPP.   The DoE and MSHA signed a vague agreement back in 1987, but MSHA didn’t begin inspections until 1995, and even then they were sporadic.

In my last Fukushima posting I wrote about the massive nuclear disaster training taking place all across the U.S.  One of those exercises is being conducted by the U.S. Army’s NorthCom in Indiana.  The first half of the “premier” Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) wargame was from 21-27 July.

An update on Vibrant Response 14 (VR 14) shows it has entered the second half (01-09 August), and involves 55-hundred personnel from FEMA, Homeland Security, National Technical Nuclear Forensics Ground Collections Task Force, Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, FBI, DoE, USA (United States Army), USAF (United States Air Force), USN (United States Navy) and more than 28 states including Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.

The Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC) is considered the best for simulating a nuclear disaster area: “This place is unreal! Considering how this whole place was once a functioning facility, this is probably the best place for my unit to get a feel for what we’d encounter during a real-life nuclear attack.”-1st Lieutenant Jeff Merritt, Indiana National Guard

The achilles heel of a nuclear disaster response is the same as for combat, logistics: “If the transportation mission wasn’t accomplished, Vibrant Response would not be possible.”-1st Lieutenant Mitchell Vaughan, Michigan Army Reserve
