14 September 2015 (20:26 UTC-07 Tango 01, 13 September 2015)/23 Shahrivar 1394/30 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/02 Yi-You (8th month) 4713

“A joint police and army force were chasing terrorist elements in the western desert area of Al-Wahat and they wrongfully dealt with four 4-wheel drives belonging to Mexican tourists who were present in a restricted area. The incident resulted in the death of 12 people and the injury of 10 Mexicans and Egyptians….”-Egyptian Ministry of Interior

The U.S. installed military junta in Egypt admitted they accidently killed 12 tourists from Mexico and Egypt, thinking they were Islamic State insurgents!  10 tourists were wounded.

Tour vehicles filled with Mexicans and Egyptians were ambushed by the junta’s police and army personnel.   However, evil junta administrators claim the tour bus convoy just happened to be driving through the same place where a battle was already taking place.

The Obama regime backed junta came to power in 2013 by ousting the democratically elected Mohamed Mursi.

Barack Obama has canceled his traditional stay at New York’s Waldorf Astoria hotel, supposedly because it is now owned by China!

The hotel has been the residence for the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations since 1947 but that’s gonna change: “The decision about the location of the U.S. Ambassador’s residence must necessarily take into account numerous factors, including costs, the needs of the United States government and the U.S. Mission to the UN, as well as any possible security concerns.”-Mark Toner, U.S. Department of State

Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products.

False Flag or Incompetence? 3rd time in 4 months massive loss of industrial bees in Idaho!

12 September 2015 (14:54 UTC-07 Tango 01)/21 Shahrivar 1394/28 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/30 Yi-You 4713

For the third time in four months, millions of bees used by farmers were lost when a tractor-trailer rig flipped while driving through Idaho.  (the first two times happened in June)

A pollen encrusted bee on a sunflower in Chubbuck, Idaho.

A pollen encrusted bee on a sunflower in Chubbuck, Idaho.

This time it happened near where I live,  on Interstate 15.  The bees swarmed and caused drivers in other vehicles to crash.  A motorcyclist was stung on the head, causing him to crash.  Then a tanker truck hauling sulfuric acid crashed into a car.

I find it interesting that as bees are so important to agriculture that three major accidents involving trucks hauling bees through Idaho happened in a four months period (one in Coeur d’Alene, northern Idaho. One near Arco, eastern Idaho, and now this latest one in Pocatello also in eastern Idaho).

The owner of the bees says most will die due to their hives being destroyed.

False Flag Exposed: Islamic State recruiter turns out to be a Jew!

The U.S. FBI and Australian police thought they were about to bust a DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]) aka Islamic State recruiter, but the man they arrested turned out to be a U.S.-Israeli Jew!

The Jew, who has citizenship in both Israel and United States, was actively trolling to send idiots to their deaths in the name of Islam, he was going to have idiots blow themselves up in the United States and Australia!

Australian news sources said the Jew was teaching people how to make pressure cooker bombs and lacing the shrapnel with rat poison!

The news, so far, has been reported only in the Australian and Israeli news media.

United States: “The change is being pushed by a group of pro-nuclear fanatics — there is really no other way to describe them. If implemented, the hormesis model would result in needless death and misery.”-Michael Mariotte,  Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS)

Washington DC: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission wants to eliminate the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) basis of radiation protection.  In other words they want to greatly increase the amount of radiation exposure per person before the government would consider it officially as ‘contamination’!

Kansas: Speaking of exposure, local news reports say about a dozen University of Tulsa’s North Campus researchers were bused to Burlington to be tested for radiation exposure, caused by a cesium 137 spill that occurred last year!

California: Once again, helicopters were seen flying low over the San Francisco bay area, and yes it was confirmed they were checking the air for radiation levels. 

UC San Francisco: Genetic Makeup May Make Radiation Riskier for Pediatric Cancer Patients

Idaho: The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission investigating a company called International Isotopes after an employee was sent to an Idaho Falls hospital for being exposed to more than a years worth of radiation.  Reports say contaminated items fell out of their protective container and the employee picked up the items thus contaminating himself.

The city of Hailey unanimously adopted a resolution opposing anymore nuke waste shipments to Idaho.  Gov’na Butch Otter, with the support of Senators, is waving an agreement between the state and federal Department of Energy banning nuclear waste shipments to The Gem State, in the name of making money (about $20-million USD) for the economically strapped state: “I think Senator Risch’s opinion was, and appears to be, that the economics of the INL [Idaho National Laboratory] are more important than the removal of dangerous nuclear waste that could contaminate the East Snake Aquifer.”-Fritz Haemmerle, mayor

Missouri: “Radiation from the West Lake Landfill in Bridgeton has spread to neighboring properties. That’s according to reports released on Thursday by Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster.”

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (evil DARPA) unveiled a new crowd sourcing radiation detector.  

Texas: Researchers with Chrysalis BioTherapeutics claim their new drug Chrysalis can stop radiation poisoning: “Because radiation-induced damage to the intestines plays such a key role in how well a person recovers from radiation exposure, it’s crucial to develop novel medications capable of preventing GI damage.”-Darrell Carney, University of Texas Medical Branch and ceo of Chrysalis BioTherapeutics

New Mexico:  NASA has, in a round-a-bout way admitted that they really don’t know how much radiation you’re exposed to when you fly on an airliner.  At Fort Sumner, NASA launch a high altitude balloon to test just how much radiation you’re exposed to when flying around the world. 

The shenanigans at WIPP (Waste Isolation Pilot Project) continue.  There was debate on whether three tonnes (metric tons) of weapons grade plutonium should be stored at the disaster site, until it was revealed that “The reality is that about 3 metric tons of down-blended weapons grade plutonium has already been disposed of at WIPP. As Bill Richardson knows, because it was completed while he was Secretary of Energy.”, according to Carlsbad Mayor Dale Janway.

New York: I’ve got relatives who went through radiation treatment for their cancers, only to have the tumors get bigger, which backs up my argument that treating cancer with radiation is like treating a gunshot wound by pumping a few more bullets into it.  Now there’s yet another study that backs me up.  “…radiotherapy may actually be making it easier for some skin cancer tumors to return and prosper. This may happen, they found, because the applied radiation causes a suppression of the immune system in the area being targeted.”

Japan: In Fukushima Prefecture two tropical storms caused record level rain, flooding hundreds of tons of radiation from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster reactors into the Pacific Ocean, according to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo).

The flooding also damaged thousands of homes and apartments across eastern Japan, which comes at a time when a new study admits that the people forced to flee their homes after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi explosions were not given adequate temporary housing, and that there still isn’t enough temp housing (four years on) for the people who cannot return to their homes due to radiation levels.

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

Alabama: Richland Golf Course shutdown: “It is with heavy and broken hearts that we announce we have put Richland Golf Center up for sale.  The past fourteen years at Richland have been a true blessing…..The past few years have been rough.  Our rent has more than tripled over the last several years and it has killed us.  We just cannot continue on this road……We have met with banks, private investors, City officials, and more trying to work something out.  Our prayer is to sell the facility.”

California: In San Luis Obispo, after 30 years the owners of Costume Capers say they must shutdown after Halloween due to competition from internet and the seasonal Halloween costume shops.  Cupertino based (but incorporated in Ireland as a tax dodge) hard-disk maker Seagate announced it’s killing off 1-thousand and 50 jobs in time for Xmas!  It’s blamed on crashing computer sales.  In San Francisco, the owner of the last gun store in the city, High Bridge Arms, says the city is about to pass an unconstitutional law that will shutdown his business.  City administrators boasted that they were openly attacking the 2nd Amendment: “What we are doing is essentially closing what amounts to a loophole between federal and state law and making sure that San Francisco continues to stay at the forefront of gun control legislation in our country.”-Mark Farrell

Florida: Avon Park Fire Department laid off 11 firefighters due to local taxpayers demanding an end to the Fire Assessment Fee.

Georgia: Atlanta based NBC owned Weather Channel laying off an undisclosed number of employees due to a radical change in programming.

Idaho: The Idaho Statesman revealed that Idaho police have not been enforcing state laws regarding the sale of beer and wine.  One rule says all brands of beer/wine must be available to all retailers who want to sell it, no “private label” sales.

In Bannock County the Mormon dominated Bannock Development Corporation outright lied about jobs saying “The demand is here but the workforce isn’t.”  Bullshit!  I’ve been unemployed since April (when I got laid off after the USPS shutdown their postal processing center in Pocatello on Flandro Drive).  I got no severance and the Idaho Department of Labor gave me no unemployment assistance.  I’ve got 13 years military experience, decades in retail/warehousing/delivery and six years in television, yet in the past few months I got three rejection notices for entry level jobs say I “didn’t have the qualifications they were looking for”!  Where are these jobs Bannock Development Corporation?  I’ve been told my problem is my age, I’m over 45 years old which seems to be the unwritten cutoff for hiring workers.  Most of the young adults in the area flee due to the lack of good paying jobs, so is what the Bannock Development Corporation really saying is that ‘the demand is here but the YOUNG MORMON workforce isn’t.’?

Illinois: In Washington, Tractor Supply Company shutting down its Washington Road location in October, due to “many business factors”.  The Lone Star Steakhouse & Saloon shutdown after 18 years on Route 50, at least 50 jobs lost.  It’s blamed on the property owner who wants to redevelop the land.  The Top of the Hill Bait Shop in Murphysboro shutdown.

Iowa: In Shell Rock, farm equipment maker Unverferth Manufacturing joins the downsizing club: “As commodity prices have plummeted over the last year and investment tax credits have subsided, so has the demand for farm equipment. As such, we have had to make the hard choice of laying off workers to better meet current demand. Being family owned, we keep any specific numbers private.”

Louisiana: Too Big to Jail Capital One announced major changes for its Pelican State operations that will result in shutdowns and hundreds of layoffs: “We are transforming the bank with a focus on efficiency and simplifying our organization. We notified assistant branch managers in Louisiana that their roles are being eliminated.”

Maryland:  Bethesda based tax-sucker Lockheed Martin announced they will eliminate 5-hundred IT jobs! It’s connected to their $9-billion USD takeover of Sikorsky Aircraft.  Lockheed Martin has already eliminated hundreds of jobs this year.

Michigan: After 35 years The Lark restaurant shutting down by Xmas in West Bloomfield Township.  The owners said it’s getting harder to run a business and the returns continue to fall.

New Jersey: In Toms River, Harris’ clothing store shutdown after 87 years (surviving the Great deflationary Depression and numerous recessions).   After 100 years (surviving the Great deflationary Depression and numerous recessions) Metzler’s Sporting Goods shutdown: “We made it to 100 years and that was very important to me. I’m going to be 65, it makes sense. Now is a good time for me to pack it in while everything is still OK and to go out on my terms.”-Billy Meltzer

New York: In Orchard Park, after 80 years (surviving the Great deflationary Depression and numerous recessions) Eckl’s Restaurant shutting down by the end of the month.  It’s up for sale.

North Carolina: Duke Energy shutting down their Allen Steam Station coal fired electricity factory by 2024, due to a federal lawsuit.

Oklahoma: In Tulsa, Lil’ Reasor’s convenience store on 15th Street and Lewis Avenue shutdown.

Pennsylvania: Too Big to Jail BB&T (Branch Banking & Trust) laid off 89 people at its new Lititz location.  It’s part of BB&T’s $2.5-billion takeover of Susquehanna Bancshares.  More layoffs could happen once more redundancies are identified.
