Economic Reality finally hits Boise-area Realty Market with 920% cuts!

30 September 2021 (02:13-UTC-07 Tango 06) 08 Mehr 1400/22 Safar 1443/24 Ding-You(8th month) 4719

For years now, politicians and local business leaders have sworn up-and-down that Idaho’s economy was booming. One of the ‘proofs’ these exalted leaders used was the skyrocketing price of real estate, but those of use working class long term residents knew that was bogus; how can the economy be booming when most working class people are working less hours and making less money? Now it looks like reality is finally pricking the real estate bubble, will it explode or just slowly leak until nothing is left?

Incomplete list of links to recent reports about the reality of Idaho’s realty market:

29SEP2021: Pocatello family sues the city for $21-million, because the city will not allow them to develop their 380 acres farmland! It’s a scandal involving the three years old taxpayer funded Northgate project: “…has knowingly and willingly engaged in a fraudulent and illegal scheme to deprive the Rupp family trust of much of the value of the Rupp property…. its accomplices have conspired with developers including in particular a Utah company Millennial Development Partners LLC to breach an agreement based upon the original design of the intersection that would allow for sufficient access to the Rupp property….”

 CoreLogic/insurance industry says Idaho’s existing home market cannot support catastrophic loss due to wildfires, will result in homelessness and prolonged economic problems!

My Immigrant Idaho: Chobani to hire Afghan refugees, par for the course for Biden, and a Turkish owned company!

A company with the world’s largest yogurt operation (located in Idaho), accused in the past of favoring immigrant and refugees over U.S. citizens, as employees, and of course denying those accusations, has announced (on 21SEP2021) that it wants Afghan refugees to fill their vacant positions, and is creating a coalition of more than 30 companies that will do the same!

The owner of Chobani is also not a U.S. citizen (just like Elon Musk is not), even though he has been living in the United States since 1994!  Hamdi Ulukaya is described by Wikipedia as “a Turkish businessman, activist, and philanthropist of Kurdish descent based in the United States.”

In 2005, using a U.S. Small Business Administration loan, Ulukaya bought a defunct Kraft yogurt factory in New York.  He called his new business Agro Farma.  By 2007 he had changed the name to Chobani.

Chobani yogurt facility, Twin Falls, Idaho, December 2012.

In 2012, Chobani opened what was then called the largest yogurt factory in the world, in Twin Falls, Idaho.

In 2014, Ulukaya began funding refugee operations around the world, starting with a $2-million donation to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

It should also be known that Ulukaya has made huge donations within the United States, helping local communities struggling with the never recovering bad economy.  He has also expressed concern and support for the U.S. dairy farmers.

2015, CNN report saying Ulukaya wants all U.S. corporations to hire refugees:

In 2016, a New York Times article stated that Chobani was “employing more than 300 refugees”.

2016, Fox News reports that people want to boycott Chobani for hiring refugees over citizens:

Gov’na Brad Little attends a Chobani grand opening ceremony.

2017, Idaho’s current gov’na, Brad Little, praised Chobani saying “Chobani has worked hard to make itself an integral part of the Magic Valley community. Chobani’s latest investment in its state-of-the-art Innovation & Community Center underscores its commitment to Idaho. We are grateful to the leadership and employees at Chobani for their continued dedication to excellence, which only serves to help us in our goal to make Idaho a place where our children and grandchildren choose to stay.” Really? Then why are so many of Idaho’s youth leaving The Gem State?

In 2018, pro-British empire CNN called Ulukaya a “US billionaire” (note CNN doesn’t punctuate US, which is typical British grammar, not U.S. grammar) even though his official citizenship is still with Turkey, and claims the number of refugees and immigrants employed by Chobani is only 30% of Chobani’s total number of workers. 

2019, Ulukaya explains why he hires refugees:

February 2021, WKTVNEWSChannel2 report on Chobani and Utica’s refugee population:

May 2021, KTVB report on why Idaho refugee organizations are expecting a flood of refugees:

Read on indeed.com what employees at Chobani’s Twin Falls, Idaho, operation think.

Read on glassdoor.com what Chobani employees around the world think.

A new documentary claims Chobani puts employees before profit.  Do an internet search for all the food donations Chobani makes around the world every year and you will wonder how does Chobani have anything left over to sell, and, how can it afford to pay its employees?

Chobani Australia to sell yogurt for dogs.

Chobani makes vegan yogurt.

Chobani goes public, makes 2021 debut on stockmarket.

In 2012, Ulukaya’s ex-wife sued him, saying she was owned money from previous investments.

In 2013, a Californian sued Chobani after an outbreak of mold.  The U.S. FDA confirmed 220 people reported they were sickened after eating Chobani products. 

In 2014, Chobani was sued for copyright infringement.

Also in 2014, Chobani sued over its claim of being Greek yogurt.

The only time I’ve had Chobani yogurt was about five years ago when I was totally reliant upon food from charities.  It was slimy and tasted bad, but then again it could have been sitting on a shelf for a long time, which in the case of donated foods is typical, I was routinely given food products that were several months past their ‘use by’ dates.  If I can’t find a job soon (and I’ve been told by several HR managers that it is because of my age) I’ll be forced to return to relying on food pantries/banks.  Oh by the way, in 2017, lawsuits filed by former employees at the Twin Falls, Idaho, Chobani factory claimed the company discriminated based on sex and age.

Also in 2017, Chobani lawyers stated that claims against Chobani of employment of violent refugees “…have caused and continue to cause harm to Idaho residents…”

In 2018, a former employee of the Twin Falls factory sued Chobani, saying the company discriminated against her because of her disability.

Also in 2018, Chobani itself filed a lawsuit against the Twin Falls School District, saying the school district overcharged Chobani for property tax/fees.

In October 2019, New York’s Unadilla Valley Central School District was given additional time, by a judge, to justify the property tax/fees for the Chenango County Chobani factory. In 2017, Chobani itself filed a lawsuit against the Unadilla Valley Central District, saying the school district overcharged Chobani for property tax/fees.

In October 2020, Chobani was sued for false advertising regarding its vanilla yogurt.

Also in 2020, Chobani was sued regarding its claim of 45% less sugar.

In May 2021, Chobani was sued for false advertising regarding its low-fat Greek yogurt.

In July 2021, Chobani was accused of misrepresenting certification by Fair Trade USA (a non-profit organization).

Biden’s War, July 2021: SECRET NEW AFGHAN-AFRICAN REFUGEE OPERATION REVEALED!

Biden’s Borderland: Operation Allies Welcome, don’t call them ‘refugees’, and pass the vaccine!

Welcome to borderland hell under the new U.S. President, this includes links to local news reports:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched Operation Allies Welcome, which is actually being carried out by U.S. Northern Command.  Locations across the United States (mainly military bases) will be prepped to ‘welcome’ refugees being brought into the country as part of Operation Allies Refuge which I revealed back in July, which also includes refugees from unnamed African countries. The taxpayer funded ‘welcome’ is supposed to include transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for as many as 50-thousand Afghan refugees at each location!  By the way, the Department of Defense doesn’t call them refugees, it calls them “evacuees”.

03SEP2021 DHS press conference announcing Operation Allies Welcome:

ARIZONA: ABC15 video report, evacuees arrive, but for some reason the arrival is being played down:

ARKANSAS: Charity group gives vague notice of hundreds of evacuees coming to the Northwestern part of the state.

CALIFORNIA: Governor demands federal taxpayers give him $16.7-million to resettle Afghans!

IDAHO: 

The Idaho Office of Resettlement reports that for fiscal year 2021 (which ends on 30SEP2021) Afghans are the second most ‘resettled’ group into The Gem State.  But that might change for fiscal year 2022, with Operations Allies Refuge and Allies Welcome.

WMD: Idaho’s All Hazards Environment

“Idaho National Lab has access to training aids for radiological scenarios, safety staff and training facilities for the scenarios we presented to the students. We worked in radiologically contaminated environments and in high radiation fields.”-Captain Daniel W. Arguello, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE) Command, U.S. Army

U.S. Army photo, 17AUG2021.

In the middle of the Arco Desert, in Eastern Idaho, lies the U.S. Department of Energy’s 890-square-mile Idaho National Laboratory (INL).  The INL has offices in the city of Idaho Falls (known as Idaho Falls Campus), but the actual 890 square mile site (known as Desert Site Facilities) is located in the Arco Desert, about 50 miles west of Idaho Falls. It’s interesting that Google Maps does not show the actual INL site, just the offices in Idaho Falls. Google Maps does show EBR-1, the world’s first nuclear reactor (and site of the world’s first deadly nuclear meltdown), which is part of the 890 square mile INL site.

Due to the decades of radiation contamination on the INL site, it has become the logical choice for training military personnel on how to deal with radiation contamination environments: “The focus of the training is to train Army and sister service personnel to respond to accidents and incidents involving radiation or radioactive materials, conduct radioactive source recovery operations and provide radiological site assessments of areas suspected to be contaminated with radioactive material.”-First Lieutenant Joshua D. Salazar, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th CBRNE Command, U.S. Army

In the middle of August, 2021, the annual Radiological Hazards Operations Course (known to FEMA as a HOT [Hands On Training] Course) was taught by the U.S. Army’s First Lieutenant Joshua D. Salazar and Captain Daniel W. Arguello.  They are with the 20th CBRNE Command, which is headquartered on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.  The training is a way of preparing for future warfare: “Through this course, these outstanding health physicists are helping to keep our military ready to fight and win in an all hazards environment.”-Colonel Matt Grieser, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th CBRNE Command, U.S. Army

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) used to be known as INEEL, before that INEL, before that ERDA and before that NRTS.  The name changes coincide with changes in government agencies and contractors who run the site.  You can actually take a tour of the historical and deadly site.

Biden’s Borderland: Refugee Policy pisses-off NATO members! Record # of Children & Drugs!

Welcome to borderland hell under the new U.S. President, incomplete list of links to news/government agency reports as of 09 August 2021:

NATO member Turkey announced it will not cooperate with Biden’s new Afghan refuge policy.  The Biden admin specifically told Afghans to travel to NATO member/partner countries, where the U.S. military would pick them up.  However, Turkish officials say Biden’s people never told them: “Turkey will not take over the international responsibilities of third countries!”-Tanju Bilgic, Turkish Foreign Ministry

Revealed, Biden admin returns to Trump pandemic policy of flying border crossers deep into Mexico, due to new Delta pandemic fears! 

The Office of Refugee Resettlement has asked federal employees to volunteer their time to head to the border with Mexico to assist with caring for the masses of children who came across the border without parents/relatives. Volunteers deploy for up to 120 days to supervise children, assess their needs, conduct interviews, and use the National Call Center to contact biological relatives within the United States.  Oh, don’t worry, apparently the volunteers can apply to get reimbursed at taxpayer expense, and travel expenses are covered by the taxpayers as well!

Biden expands his once secret Afghan refugee operation, to include not only Afghans who directly worked with U.S. combat units, but to any Afghan who has worked for the U.S. government, U.S. contractors or U.S. based charities!

Biden’s War: Idaho gets ‘smart’ artillery rounds, reveals “upcoming mobilizations”

“Receiving the PGK NET was a great opportunity that will enhance the battalion and the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team’s lethality on the battlefield.  We purposely sought to field the PGK prior to the brigade’s upcoming mobilizations. If the PGK capability exists in the theater of operations we end up in, then our soldiers will be trained to employ it and bring a precision capability to the fight.”-Lieutenant Colonel Eric Orcutt, 1st Battalion 148th Field Artillery Regiment

The Idaho Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion of the 148th Field Artillery Regiment (FAR), headquartered in Pocatello, learned how to use ‘smart’ artillery projectiles known as the M1156 Precision Guidance Kit (PKG).

During the last two weeks of July 2021, the 1-148 FAR was in next door Wyoming, on Camp Guernsey, for annual ‘summer camp’ training.  The ‘smart’ projectiles they were launching through their M1096A6 Paladin 155mm gun tubes uses aerodynamic fins on the fuze to steer the projectile on target.  If the smart projectile happens to be not so smart and impacts outside 150 meters of the target area, it won’t explode.

Not only does PKG make artillery projectiles more accurate, it’s hoped that accuracy will save taxpayers some money by not needing as many ‘dumb’ projectiles.

Round=projectile+case

Projectile=bullet, shot, slug

Cartridge Case=case or shell containing propellant

The M1096A6 Paladin gun does not use a cartridge case on its projectiles, instead it uses combustible bags, or combustible solid casings, of propellant shoved in behind the projectile.

The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team, of which the 148th FAR is a part of, is scheduled for deployment in 2022 (apparently the location is still hush-hush, and this is despite President Biden’s pull-out from Afghanistan and his order to cease combat ops in Iraq).
