Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 22-27 August 2013. Hundreds more laid off due to Obama Care. California hit hard, once more! Jobs moving to Mexico to avoid Obama Care tax!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs.

California: In Fresno GAF laid off nine people.  Tax sucker Boeing laid off 11 people.  In West Hollywood, local internet advertising developer CityGrid Media laid off 108 employees!  The company’s New York based parent, IAC, blames it on the bad economy, saying revenues could no longer support their California staff.  CityGrid laid off employees last year, too.  In Fountain Valley, memory card maker Kingston Technology laid off 55 people.  Production is being moved to Taiwan/China.  In San Clemente, Southern California Edison laid off 600 people!  It’s blamed on the shut down of the damaged and leaking San Onofre nuclear plant.  In Mountain View, Areva Solar laid off at least one person.  The Christian God can’t stop Obama Care layoffs. Christian medical university/hospital Loma Linda laid off 113 people! Loma Linda has been cutting pay and laying off employees since 2009.  In Arvin, medical device maker Salter Labs laid off 87 people. Salter Labs moving production to Mexico to avoid Obama Care’s tax on medical devices. Arvin has the highest unemployment rate in Kern County, in May it hit 29% unemployment before the Arvin layoffs were announced!  In Visalia, Medical Billings Technologies laid off 21 employees. In Alameda, Caliper Life Sciences laid off 60 employees.  In Cerritos, medical biller Revcycle+ laid off 189 people! In Redwood City, Abbvie Biotherapeutics laid off 63 employees.

New York: In White Plains, Pearson Education laid off 55 employees.

Ohio: What Obama Care? Blue Cross & Blue Shield laid off 159 people!  In Columbus, DialAmerica shut down a call center, 143 people unemployed!  The closure comes one month after DialAmerica claimed it would be hiring 170 people, local news media were refused an explanation.

South Carolina: What Obama Care? In Columbia, Medicare and Medicaid payments processor Palmetto GBA (a subsidiary of Blue Cross & Blue Shield) laid off 126 people!  Palmetto has been laying off employees since 2007, this after claiming to start hiring as many as 1-thousand people in 2004.

Tennessee: In Memphis, local shipping company ARL Memphis East laid off 89 employees.

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, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 19-21 October 2013: U.S. Navy killing their own? Italy bugging out? Obama increases drone strikes! More proof Red Coats are evil! NATO turns to Russia for help! Afghans dream of China!

Helmand Province: In Lashkar Gah (aka Bost) the U.K. Ministry of Defence withdrew a “police mentoring team”.  MoD officials said the are “stepping back” their training of Afghan cops.  A U.S. Marine Lance Corporal, from Louisiana, was killed by explosion: “An International Security Assistance Force service member died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan.”

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, a magnetic bomb exploded on a car, killing the driver.  The Chinese government held a speech contest titled My Chinese Dream.  Two Afghans tied for top prize. Basically the Chinese Dream is what the American Dream used to be; education and prosperity for the average person.

Kandahar Province: In Spin Boldak District, Afghan border police say Mujahideen from Pakistan attacked a border check point.  Two Afghan border cops killed, one wounded.  Ten Mujahideen killed.

Kunar Province: Reports that 20 people killed by five U.S.-NATO drone strikes, over the past four days.  Possibly as a result of relentless U.S. airstrikes, a top Afghan Special Forces commander in Kunar has switched sides and joined the Mujahideen.  The governor of Kunar says the Special Forces commander also gave Mujahideen armored vehicles as well as weapons and ammo.

Maidan Wardak Province: Reports that a U.S.-NATO airstrike killed one person.  Local government officials say it was a Mujahideen leader.

Parwan Province: Foreign Mujahideen group, The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, claimed credit for the attack on U.S.-NATO military convoy on 18 October 2013.

More proof the British empire is evil: Three Red Coat Marines are on trial for murdering a wounded Afghan.  The three scum bags were being investigated for other crimes, when civilian police found the Red Coats’ own video of their war crime on a laptop computer.   The British news media got hold of the audio from the video and you can clearly hear the Red Coats taking about killing the wounded man instead of rendering first aid, as required by international law (and I though we were a society that operated by the Rule of Law).  They turned off their helmet cams right before the murder.  Hear the audio here.

Italian-NATO troops are leaving one year early.  Italy announced it is pulling out starting now, they hope to have 11-hundred troops back in Italy by spring 2014.   However, that would mean Italy would still have 18-hundred troops incountry, and Defense Minister Mario Mauro admitted those troops would remain even after the supposed 2014 U.S.-NATO pullout.

NATO officials admitted they are now relying on Russia to help deal with controlling Afghanistan: “A NATO-Russia Council will start off the second day of the ministerial on Wednesday. The Council is to focus on ways to build on the positive practical military and defence cooperation achieved so far. The NATO ministers, with Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoygu, will also discuss pressing international security issues, including Syria. A meeting of defence ministers from NATO and partner countries which contribute to the ISAF mission will wrap up the ministerial. The Afghan Defence Minister Bismullah Mohammadi Khan, the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton and the UN Secretary General’s Special representative Jan Kubis are expected to attend.”-North Atlantic Treaty Organization press release

The Afghan Interior Ministry has stated that the government of Afghanistan must go after terrorist operations outside the country.  They are referring specifically to western Pakistan.  That area of Pakistan used to belong to Afghanistan before it was stolen by the British empire.  Afghan officials have been demanding the territory back, and this declaration of going after terrorists in Pakistan might be an excuse to take back their land.  The Obama regime is against such action.   The increased drone strikes in western Pakistan is an attempt to placate the Afghans.

An investigation by Washington Times, into the August 2011 Extortion 17 heliborne op disaster,  suggests it was an “inside job”.  A Chinook ‘copter carrying the same SEAL Team 6 that supposedly assassinated Osama bin Laden exploded and crashed, killing 30 personnel on board including U.S. Army personnel.  “I want to know why so many U.S. servicemen, especially SEALs, were assembled on one aircraft. I want to know why the black box of the helicopter has not been found.”-Sith Douangdara, father of USN victim

“Somebody was leaking to the Taliban. They knew. Somebody tipped them off. There were guys in a tower. Guys on the bush line. They were sitting there, waiting. And they sent our guys right into the middle.”-Charlie Strange, father of USN victim

Exceptional Failed State: British empire controls United States, and Idaho, through evil Christian G4S? South Africa accuses Christian G4S of torturing prisoners!

09 November 2013 (19:20 UTC-07 Tango 08 November 2013)/05 Muharram 1434/18 Aban 1391/07 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

“We stripped them naked and you throw water so the electricity can work nicely….you want them to be afraid of you.”-‘Mpho’, former G4S prison guard interviewed by BBC

Ever hear of G4S?  They claim to be the “leading security company” in the United States, but the private prison concentration camp/private police state operator G4S is based out of the British empire’s United Kingdom.

G4S started out in the 1980s when four British private security companies merged.  Then they merged with a security company in Denmark, becoming Group 4 Falck in 2000.  In 2004 the name changed to G4S.   They took over the U.S. private prison concentration camp operator GEO (which used to be known as Wackenhut).

Their U.S. operation is also known as G4S Secure Solutions USA.

G4S has offices all over the U.S., including Boise, Idaho (aka Idaho Security Services).  Interestingly, GEO still operates as GEO even though they are now part of the G4S family.

GEO/G4S were planning to offer a bid to take over the operations of the evil Idaho Gladiator School (Idaho Correctional Center).  The latest news reports say GEO/G4S suddenly backed out, and even the current concentration camp operator, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), is jumping ship.  MTC is apparently the new operator of the Idaho Gladiator School.

Idaho has been hit with lawsuits concerning mistreatment of prisoners, including claims of outright torture at the Gladiator School.  Don’t think the accusation of torture is far fetched.  South Africa (a member of the British empire, aka The Commonwealth) recently kicked out G4S, directly accusing G4S of torturing prisoners!  Not only that, but G4S mistreated 300 of their South African prison guards as well!

BBC interviewed one of the prison guards turned whistleblower, who said it is G4S (and possibly all private prison companies’) policy to torture prisoners who complain about mistreatment. The BBC report also says prisoners were forced to take drugs, similar kinds of drugs that the perpetrators of recent mass shootings in the U.S. were on.  Watch the disturbing BBC report here, it includes video shot by prison guards.

GEO (owned by G4S) runs concentration camps in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington state.

CCA runs concentration camps in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho (soon to go to MTC), Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington DC.

Utah based Mormon/Christian MTC (Management & Training Corporation, by the way the LDS church also uses the acronym MTC for their Missionary Training Center) runs prions ops in Arizona, California, Idaho, Florida, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio and Texas.   Read Mormons behind privately run concentration camp in Mississippi 

According to New Jersey media reports, Catholic Christian governor Chris Christie (a closet Anglophile giving British companies tax breaks even though they destroy jobs in his state) is directly involved in CEC (Community Education Centers, aka Education and Health Centers of America). Don’t let the company’s name fool you, they are totally a prison operation.  The New York Times investigated the company and discovered rampant drug dealing inside CEC’s New Jersey prison ops.  CEC operates in Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming.  CEC also conducts prison ops in the U.K. territory of Bermuda.

G4S (remember, it is a British empire corporation) runs police state operations in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Washington DC, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Note that is almost all of the United States, and G4S is being paid with your tax money! Isn’t this proof enough that the British empire has regained control of the U.S.?

Most of the executives of GEO, CCA, CEC, MTC and G4S consider themselves to be Christians.  In the United Kingdom, where G4S originates, Christianity is the official government religion controlled directly by the queen (she’s called the Supreme Governor).

G4S has also been hired by Christian universities, in Illinois, to provide campus security.

G4S has also been hired to provide security for U.S. nuclear plants!

G4S is behind “real-time event monitoring and situational management, and ever-expanding business intelligence” within the U.S.

“At G4S, we have a single focus: to provide expert investigation solutions and corporate governance services to our clients in the insurance, commercial and government sectors.”

G4S dominates U.S. electronic security and communications through AMAG and OneFacility (aka 1F): “When we say we offer a total solution, we are saying that we are capable of handling every facet of every project from fruition through maintenance, including design, engineering, project management, technology, and service.”-Sam Belbina, Executive Vice President, G4S Technology

Exceptional Failed State: Broke United States exiting United Nations? Loses voting rights!

08 November 2013 (14:35 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Muharram 1434/17 Aban 1391/06 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

“…and let me be clear. This is not only about financing, this is about values!”-Irina Bokova, UNESCO

“We regret that today the United States lost its vote in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization General Conference.”-Jen Psaki, Obama regime U.S. Department of State spokeswoman

The United Nations says the United States has lost its voting right due to failure to pay member dues!

This concerns the UN Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.  In 2011 the Obama and Netanyahu regimes canceled their membership dues to protest the recognition of Palestine.  UN officials finally gave up on the U.S., and Israel, and revoked their voting rights in UNESCO.

The Obama regime blamed U.S. Congress, saying the renewal of payments to the UN can only be authorized by the Congress.  Is Congress really blocking UN payments because the U.S. government is broke?

“I bought a catastrophic health policy for $170/mo when I left MSNBC. Obamacare cancelled the policy. New rate $600/mo. Thnx Mr. President!”-Dylan Ratigan, twitter posting by former MSNBC host

“I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me.”-Barack Obama, 07 November 2013 interview with NBC

“Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed.”-Barack Obama, 04 November 2013 speech to his NAZI organization known as OFA

“I think it’s time to give you, the American people, more control over your health.”-Barack Obama, 19 March 2010 Fairfax, Virginia

If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.”-Barack Obama, 15 June 2009 speech made to AMA

employers…using Obama Care as excuse to cut employee hours and benefits 

Business/Economics, Idaho, U.S.

Exceptional Failed State: Kroger joins other employers in using Obama Care as excuse to cut employee hours and benefits, including at Fred Meyer in Idaho & Washington!

08 November 2013 (03:14 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Muharram 1434/17 Aban 1391/06 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

“The reason why the employers are doing this is it’s a big money grab!”-Tom Geiger, UFCW Local 21 in Washington

“I started working in the grocery business over 40 years ago. The proposals we saw this time from employers were some of the worst I’ve ever seen. They tried to turn us into Walmart!”-Dave Schmitz, President of UFCW Local 21

I know of at least one Boise area Fred Meyer that has drastically cut their employee hours, below 24 hours per week.  An employee there told me the cuts were unexpected, her hours were cut to 16 per week and she lost her Fred Meyer health insurance.  (Idaho is a Right to Work you over anti-union state) This was in mid-October.  It turns out the insurance was actually cut before then.  She had nine cavities filled and when the dentist filed the insurance claim they were told by the insurance provider that the policy had been canceled on 30 September!

She told me the majority of the employees at the Boise area Fred Meyer, where she works, are scheduled for only 20 hours per week.  There are three Fred Meyers in Boise.

Back in October a Fox.news report stated that as many as 30-thousand grocery store workers were preparing to go on strike in Washington state.  This was because they learned their employers were about to slash and burn their hours and benefits, to take advantage of Obama Care.  The report named Kroger Company’s Fred Meyer and QFC as some of those companies preparing to rip off their employees.   Albertsons and Safeway were also mentioned.

Kroger Company is a massive operation based in Ohio, and includes Baker’s, City Market, Dillons, Food 4 Less, Foods Company, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, Gerbes, Harris Teeter, Jay C, King Soopers, Kroger, Owen’s, Pay Less Super Markets, QFC, Ralph’s, Ruler Foods, Scott’s, Smith’s and numerous jewelry stores, dairy operations, bakeries, delis and meat plants all across the United States.

Obama Care (aka Affordable Care Act, aka Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) allows companies to cancel health benefits for any employee working less than 30 hours per week.

Lie: A lie is a false statement made by a person or group who knows it is not the whole truth, intentionally, such as Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

I’ve seen many mainstreamer pro-Obama Care articles outright calling reports of cuts to employee hours and health benefits lies.  Investors.com has been updating a list of U.S. corporations and school districts that have announced they will cut hours and benefits because of Obama Care, so who’s the real liars?  As of 05 November 2013, the Investors.com list now includes up to 363 U.S. corporations and school districts, click here to read it and weep.

In June 2013, Reuters revealed that the major non-governmental employer of the U.S., Walmart, was intentionally cutting employee health benefits because of Obama Care: “Full-time people are getting slimmer and slimmer.”-unnamed Walmart manager in north Carolina

“Everybody who comes through the door I hire as a temporary associate.  It’s a company direction at the present time.”-unnamed Walmart manager in Alaska

Things are so bad for Obama Care that the Obama regime, and its supporters, are spending millions of dollars to bribe mainstreamer news media to report only good things about Obama Care: “Families USA has received a $1 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which it will use to collect and distribute to the media personal stories of those who have benefited from the new health insurance exchange….”-Time, 25 October 2013

And how’s this for audaciousness; Obama Care was touted as helping low income people get healthcare, but now the Obama regime is asking those same people to donate their precious little money to promote Obama Care: “President Obama’s political arm, Organizing for Action, is using the uproar over the failed Obamacare website to raise money…..A link takes the email recipient….to what appears to be the real business at hand: a new page with a solicitation for $15-$1,000 or some ‘other amount.’….OFA plans to spend ‘the next five months’ promoting Obamacare and ‘making sure people have the facts.'”-White House Dossier, 29 October 2013

“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

Exceptional Failed State: Kmart shoots self in foot with T-day sales! Kmart to become rent to own business? More stores being shut down! Targets of false flag terrorists?

On 06 November, Sears Holdings announced they will sell off even more U.S. and Canadian stores (at least five Canadian stores to close) into 2014.   Investors initially liked the news sending Sears Holdings stock prices up 12% (before backing back down), despite the fact that many investor analysts continue to repeat the mantras “Avoid Sears” & “Get Out Now”.

Sears is also closing a distribution center in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada.  276 jobs lost.

Sears Holdings also announced it is considering spinning off Land’s End and Sears Auto Center, as stand alone operations.

According to reports out of Massachusetts, Kmarts across the United States are being hit with bomb threats.  So far none have proven to be legit.   Apparently on 01 November, at least three Kmarts in Massachusetts were hit with bomb threats.  Anybody see the mainstream news report this?

We can’t blame the bomb threats on Kmart’s plan to open Thanksgiving Day morning.  That announcement came after said bomb threats.  Customers and employees have expressed outrage over the T-Day plan.  Here’s job killer Kmart’s response to complaints: “Kmart is staffing w/teams & seasonal associates when possible, giving them opportunity to make extra money during holiday.”-Jennifer Brazen, Kmart twitter posting

Sears Holdings officials announced they will start a lease to own program through Kmart.  People who can’t afford to pay up front, or don’t have credit cards, can rent to own expensive merchandise.  It’s a sign of the bad economy.

One corner of the half vacant Chubbuck, Idaho, Sears. No official closing announcement was made.

Idaho: Lewiston Sears (at least 60 jobs lost).  No official announcement, but it’s painfully obvious the Chubbuck Sears going’ down. Or, maybe it’s preps for Shop within a Shop, or one of those domestic spy data storage centers?

Ever since the Kmart bankruptcy, this pad site for sale sign has been seen in the Pocatello, Idaho, Big Kmart parking lot. The Kmart is the only building on the lot.

Exceptional Failed State: Obama Bush intentionally destroying U.S. military! Led by Night Stalker!

06 November 2013 (16:42 UTC-07 Tango)/02 Muharram 1434/15 Aban 1391/04 Gui-Hai (10th month) 4711

“Resentment is so high that some members have reportedly considered trying to ‘take out the President’ and stage a coup.  Something deadly dangerous is happening in America.”-theTrumpet.com

“…the U.S. Armed Forces have been under relentless attack by the occupant of the Oval Office for five years.”-retired U.S. Navy Captain Joseph John to WND (formerly WorldNetDaily)

“…intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.”-retired U.S. Army Major General Paul E. Vallely to WND

“…the Obama administration apparently on a mission to undermine the integrity of the military……it has also revealed itself to be entirely intolerant of dissent of any kind. Whether it is reporters or domestic opposition groups such as the Tea Party, Obama has made clear he will aggressively pursue anyone who defies his agenda. Now it seems that chilling message his been sent to the military as well.”–Canada Free Press

“The Obama administration, which has fired no one over scandals such as its Fast and Furious Mexican gun-running operation, its criminal negligence in the terrorist attack on our Benghazi diplomatic mission, or the use of the IRS to target and intimidate political foes, seems to have a curious obsession lately about ethics and competence in the U.S. military.”–Investor’s Business Daily

But who’s the mastermind behind this?

“She [Valerie Jarrett] seems to have her tentacles into every issue and every topic…her name ultimately always comes up.”-Congressman Jason Chaffetz, from Utah, to Laura Ingraham

“Jarrett is reportedly called ‘the Night Stalker’ due to her high access that allows her to go to the first family’s private residence well past the time when others are allowed in.”–The Daily Mail

The purging began under the Bush Jr regime.  I was ‘purged’ from the Idaho Army National Guard in November 2003.  Officially the discharge papers (and RE code) say it was because I was physically unfit for duty, despite the fact I had the third highest APFT score in my unit that year!  I believe I was really ‘purged’ because I criticized the Bush Jr administration one time too many about their new War on Terror (once while in formation as acting platoon sergeant).  Within just a few months of my criticisms of the Bush Jr regime I was demoted to E-5 and told not to bother trying to re-enlist when my enlistment expired in November 2003.  For about six months I did try to get re-enlisted, I was literally passed from unit retention NCO to recruiter after recruiter.  Finally, a recruiter in Pocatello told me, literally, “You don’t need to keep calling us.  If we have a need for you we will call you.”  

A couple months after being told that I received my official Honorable discharge documents, and discovered I had been flagged for being unfit.

The Idaho National Guard has deployed numerous times to Iraq and Afghanistan.  I have multiple combat MOSes, I’ve lived in the Middle East, and I wasn’t needed?  I don’t agree with the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama dynasty, but there is a kind-o-brotherhood among military personnel that transcends whatever is the political climate of their country, and I felt guilty for not being able to deploy with my former unit (although I know there are some who were glad to see me ‘purged’).

The purge has been ongoing since 11 September 2001, Obama is just accelerating it!

“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
