World War 3, North American Front: Tens of thousand of mostly Christians killed in the name of U.S. instigated False Flag Drug War in Mexico! Migrants seaking work in the U.S. at record lows! More deaths in Mexico than in Syria?

25 December 2013 (15:52 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Safar 1435/04 Dey 1392/23 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“The case of Anastacio Hernandez Rojas is emblematic of a disease that runs to the cold heart of the Obama administration’s immigration policy. The administration’s silence before the killing of innocents is enabling the Border Patrol to continue to kill and abuse with utter impunity. This is an agency that refuses to be accountable to anyone.”-Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente

The U.S. backed Drug War in Mexico is getting a lot of people killed, and they’re not even Mexicans!  As I’ve written before, most of the people killed in the so called Drug War, are people from Central American countries!

But of course Mexicans are being killed.  The latest case involves five Mexican teenagers who were ran over by a pickup truck as they left a Christmas party in Reynosa, Tamaulipas.  Officials say it was intentional, and that the occupants of the truck were “gunmen”, although no gun shots were reported.

Most people in Mexico and Central America say they’re Catholic Christians, with a growing number switching to other christian ideologies.  It was the Christian George Bush Jr who pushed Mexico into the Drug War, and Christian Barack Obama is continuing it. On the U.S. side of the border U.S. government officials have been busy killing anybody they want, seemingly at random.

Another report revealed that U.S. government agents are also killing U.S. citizens: “Since 2005, on-duty Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection officers have killed at least 42 people, including at least 13 Americans.”

The Institute for Women in Migration reports that their research confirms that 47-thousand migrant workers have been killed in the so called Drug War in Mexico, since the Bush Jr regime started it.

Mexican newspapers are reporting that between 10-thousand and 70-thousand migrants from Central American countries have gone missing inside Mexico!  Even the UN suggests that U.S. backed Mexican officials are intentionally looking the other way when it comes to Central American migrants trying to reach the U.S.

The Swiss based Academy of International Humanitarian Law says they’ve confirmed that in 2012  nine thousand people were killed in Mexico, as a result of the Drug War, putting Mexico in second place after Syria.  More people were killed in Mexico than in Afghanistan.

The Swiss study also pointed out that many more unsolved and unreported killings in Mexico could be directly attributed to the Drug War, which means Mexico could actually beat out Syria for the most people killed in 2012!

Oh, and for all those ‘mericans that’re sick of those dern Mexicans stealing the very jobs that most ‘mericans wouldn’t take, the study by the Institute for Women in Migration shows that migrant workers going to the U.S. has crashed.  In 2007 Latin American migrants heading to the United States, through Mexico, peaked at a record 682-thousand+.  By the end of 2012 the number of migrants heading to the U.S. hit a record low of 181-thousand!  (that’s a drop of just over half a million migrant workers, for those of you who can’t do the math)

It’s a sign that the U.S. instigated Drug War in Mexico is really targeting migrants, and it’s also a sign of how bad the U.S. economy really is.   So shove that up your red neck Estados Unidos Christian asses!

Another video game/computer graphics maker going down?  Machinima laid off 22 employees.  Company officials said layoffs were necessary for their “growth”.

California: In Bakersfield, after 20 years the Baskin-Robbins ice cream store shut down.  The store owner blames the property owner (who is also a property developer), who refused to offer a new lease to the ice cream seller.  In Long Beach, tax sucker Boeing announced they will shut down their last major assembly factory in California by 2015.  Boeing ended production of expensive C-17 military transport aircraft.  In Escondido, Palomar Health laid off another 35 employees.  At the beginning of September Palomar Health laid off 122 employees in Escondido!

Michigan: In Novi, a Blockbuster video store shut down.  It’s part of plans to shut down all Blockbuster stores. In Wyoming, after 62 years in business, Leatherman Hardware shut down.  The family owners blame an ever worsening economy: “It seemed like our piece of the pie got smaller and smaller each year. The city has changed so much over the years, and things just kept getting harder and harder.”-Dave Leatherman junior

Unpaid contractor is winning bidder for abandoned Hoku Materials factory, again! 1-thousand jobs on the way, by a company with questionable history?

18 December 2013 (18:12 UTC-07 Tango 17 December 2013)/14 Safar 1435/27 Azar 1392/16 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

After a federal court judge ruled the November auction of the massive, and unused, Hoku Materials factory in Pocatello, Idaho, illegal, JH Kelly wins again.

This time JH Kelly bid $8.3 million, which is still a paltry sum when you realize the polysilicon factory is said to be worth about $700-million (but then again, JH Kelly is the one owed the money for building it). Reports say this time the federal bankruptcy court approved the auction.  However, JH Kelly has 72 hours to pay up.

There are reports by a local east Idaho TV news program (KIFI) that a local silica mining operation has made a deal to operate the factory.  Officials with Idaho based Arco Hills Silica Company (AHSC), and Nevada based JCF Funding, claim as many as one thousand jobs will be created!

However, back in August JH Kelly’s attorney said this about AHSC and JCF Funding: “It just seems difficult to conceive these people are serious if they haven’t made a written offer and haven’t engaged capable counsel.  The first thing a bankruptcy judge asks is: ‘Show me the money.’”-Ford Elsaesser

JH Kelly is also the biggest creditor to the bankrupt Hoku Materials factory, and they want their money.

There are some scandals with Arco Hills Silica Company; back in June a former CEO pled guilty to wire fraud, involving the theft of $5-million.

Also, there is court documents showing AHSC was sued by Beco Construction Company.  A “Judgment By Default” for more than $30-thousand was levied against Arco Hills Silica Company in 2004, and renewed in 2009.

“Arco Hills Silica Company is the exclusive mining and manufacturing Company for one of the world’s largest and most pure silica deposits in the world. It is presently in the early stages of development of these assets with anticipation that production will begin during 2011. This company is also actively in beginning construction on a major silicon processing plant, solar panel manufacturing and research facility and various polysilicon plants all to be located in Southeastern Idaho.”-AHSC company statement

All home postal deliveries to stop by 2019! 8-thousand job cuts! Who said the Queen of England was just a figure head?

12 December 2013 (10:38 UTC-07 Tango)/08 Safar 1435/21 Azar 1392/10 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

The evil British empire country of Canada just announced that all home postal deliveries will stop by 2019.  People will have to pick up their mail at centralized locations (such as cluster boxes).

Canada Post Corporation (aka Canada Post) is a tool of the evil Queen of England.  It is part of the royal Crown Corporations of the monarchical Commonwealth (empire).  In Australia, Crown Corporations are called Government Business Enterprise (GBE).

Canada Post also said 8-thousand employees will be rendered unemployed by 2019!

The shift to centralized mail pick up might not be that bad for Canadian postal customers, according to reports only one third of Canadians get their mail delivered to their homes.  However, representatives of old Canadians (elderly) who still live in their own homes have pointed out that they have no way of getting to any centralized mail pickup point.

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (also a Crown Corporation) said this could be the “nail in the coffin for Canada Post”.

The empire country of New Zealand recently announced major cuts to their postal system.

Uruguay pisses off United Nations, makes Marijuana legal! Is this a False Flag to justify a U.S. led, UN backed invasion?

12 December 2013 (17:17 UTC-07 Tango 11 December 2013)/08 Safar 1435/21 Azar 1392/10 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

On the grounds of fighting fire with fire, the government of Uruguay has officially declared Marijuana legal, and the government as the only official source!

According to various surveys there isn’t actually a majority of support for the new law in Uruguay, but the law is being promoted as a way to destroy violent drug lords.

People over the age of 18 years can buy 1.4 ounces per month from government sponsored pharmacies.  If you want to grow your own you must register with the government.  Marijuana smoking clubs consisting of up to 45 people can be formed.

But this has the United Nations upset, because it violates an anti-Marijuana international law, which previous Uruguayan governments have signed on to.

So what now?  Is the UN going to ask the United States to lead an invasion against the now illegal country of Uruguay?

I wonder how many U.S. DEA agents, or evil British empire SIS (MI-6) agents make up the violent drug lord’s gangs?

Food Crisis: Dumb American industrial farmers still forcing unhealthy anti-biotics into animals! Only making people sicker, is this a False Flag to kill us off?

11 December 2013 (14:30 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Safar 1435/20 Azar 1392/09 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“Antibiotic use in animals is out of hand! We feed antibiotics to sick animals, which is completely appropriate, but we also put antibiotics in their feed and in their water to help them grow faster and to compensate for unhygienic conditions. If you have to keep the animals healthy with drugs, I would argue you need to re-examine the system.”-Gail Hansen, Pew Campaign on Human Health and Industrial Farming

Despite decades of studies that show the use of anti-biotics in farm animals is not only bad for their health, but bad for us humans as well, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) reports that farmers are still abusing the use of  anti-biotics on animals!

Overuse of anti-biotics results in stronger germs that can kill us!

The FDA is so upset that it plans to outlaw certain anti-biotics.  This is based on the FDA’s earlier study (released in April) which showed massive drug use on animals we eat: 81% of ground Turkey meat contaminated with anti-biotic resistance bacteria!  69% of pork (Pig) chops contaminated!  55% of ground Cow (beef) meat contaminated!   39% of chicken contaminated!

In 2011, farmers used 29.9 million pounds of anti-biotics on the animals we eat.  Compare that to the 7.7 million pounds of anti-biotics used by humans to fight infections! Why such a disparity, especially when most of those farm animals are not sick?

Hello farmers, what are you doing?!

Alaska: In Kodiak, a Blockbuster video rental store closed down.  It’s part of plans to shut down all U.S. Blockbuster stores.

California: In Santa Rosa, optical communications company JDSU Uniphase laid off 126 employees!

Colorado:  In Colorado Springs, the Christian God doesn’t feel like stopping the layoffs of 69 of ‘His/Hers’ employees!  Focus on the Family ministry laying off 40 people, and NavPress (publishing arm of The Navigators ministry) laid off 29 people.  Both ministries said more layoffs could be in the works as their revenues are crashing.

Florida: PSS World Medical laid off 124 people!  It’s blamed on a merger with McKesson Group.

Georgia: Savannah River Remedi­ation laid off 465 people!  The operation manages the U.S. Department of Energy’s radioactive waste site as well as the Defense Waste Processing Facility.  The layoffs are blamed on federal funding cuts.

Indiana:  Indiana University Health eliminating 800 positions through layoffs and forced early retirement!  This is on top of jobs cuts made last school year.  It’s partly blamed on “declining reimbursement rates” caused by Obama Care (ACA).

Kansas: In Wichita, Spirit AeroSystems laying off additional 150 people!  The company laid off 350 people back in July!  They are also asking employees to retire early.  This is strange because local news reports say the company is advertising for hundreds of available positions due to “record demand”.  The company builds major sub-assemblies for aircraft industry giants like Boeing.

Maryland: In Canton, the Bay Cafe being sold off.  The longtime owner hasn’t been able to pay his rent or taxes, he says there is no way the economy has recovered: “Business has been horrible!”-David Naumann

Missouri: The Normandy School District warning of layoffs, and even shut down? The school district lost its accreditation, and so far 449 students have transferred to other school districts.  Those districts are now billing Normandy at least $424-thousand USD for the transfers, which could be the nail in the coffin for Normandy.

New Jersey: Community Medical Center warns of another major round of layoffs.  Hospital officials partly blame Obama Care for “rapidly shifting” the business environment.

New Mexico:  The Christian God won’t stop Obama Care from killing 44 jobs at the Taos Health Systems’ Holy Cross Hospital: “Given the changes in reimbursement and our losses of the last few years this becomes a bit tenuous.”-Peter Hofstetter, CEO.

Oklahoma: Natural gas giant, Chesapeake Energy, laying off 2-thousand people! Company officials say they have to “reorganize”.

Washington: In Redmond, Pacific Music store closed down, for good?  The store was forced to move from a better location, because city officials wanted the property for condos!  Store owners say being forced to move to a lesser location along with the bad economy did them in.  In Liberty Lake, utility meter maker Itron laying off 750 people!  This despite the fact that Itron won a contract to supply India with hundreds of thousands of utility meters.

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.
