Days after news source McClatchy and the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute revealed the U.S. nuclear industry has killed off at least 33-thousand 480 nuclear employees, the data wrested from the hands of the U.S. Department of Labor shows at least 471 Idahoans were killed by radiation they were exposed to at the Idaho National Laboratory and Argonne West.
That number is just for those families the federal government compensated, it’s just 37% of all Idaho families who filed a claim for the death of a relative who died from possible radiation contamination!

Corrupt Boise based Saint Luke’s Health System took over Nampa based Saltzer, but a federal judge ruled the takeover violated anti-trust laws. Saint Luke’s has 12 months to sell-off Saltzer.

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. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”

China: People’s Liberation Army Air Force says the U.S. deployment of spy planes to Singapore threatens peace. The PLAAF will now spy on the U.S. spy planes.

Japan: The neo-imperialist government accuses China of sending two warships into Japanese water around the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea. China claims the islands. Tokyo police claim the ‘terrorist’ who blew up a public toilet (at the evil Yasukuni Shrine) is a Korean, based on DNA testing. The Yasukuni Shrine honors Japan’s convicted war criminals, as far as I know no other country has a shrine that honors convicted war criminals (so who’s the real terrorists?).
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: The U.S. ally is approaching a new record for number of people executed. So far in the Gregorian year 2015, 151 people have had their heads chopped off, many were not even Arabs!

The Democratic Self-Administration of Rojava is condemning the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for banning them from taking part in the so called Riyadh Syria Peace Talks. Iran has revealed that KSA is allowing DAIISH and other ‘western’ insurgent groups to attend the so called peace talks.

Why? “I would like to operate in a state that doesn’t have a state control system. I have three licenses in three areas and even then it isn’t a stable investment. There is always the chance you lose it to a violation and then who knows when you will get another.” Gee, and our exalted ‘conservative’ republican ‘lawmakers’ have always led us to believe they’re against such state controls. Settles is moving to Colorado. In Ammon, the optimistic city leaders went running to the local news media with “the biggest booming” business news ever! They’re getting a Kneaders cafe, Popeyes chicken (there’s already at least one nearby in next door Idaho Falls) and a Rita’s Custard and Ice.

Just days ago Idaho mainstream news media reported that no Gem State cop has been charged with killing a civilian, in the past 16 years. Wrong!
At least two cops were charged with killing people in 2011. What’s amazing is that the mainstreamer news reported those charges when they first happened, but apparently totally forgot about them when they published their recent story praising local cops for not killing anybody! (the Idaho Statesman blames their new database system)
But here’s some interesting info, those two cops are actually federal Native American Reservation cops. A judge threw out charges against one of the Reservation cops and the other cop was acquitted of lying to the FBI by a jury.
Over the past decade there have been dozens of cop shootings of civilians in Idaho, however in most cases it was obvious the cop was justified. But that doesn’t excuse mainstream news sources in The Gem State for lying about such things!
California: El Segundo based children’s computer tablet maker Fuhu now bankrupt busted and being sold-off to rival Mattel.

The entire agency was completely surprised by the bank’s actions.”
Idaho: Some good news that’s actually bad news; Corporation for National and Community Service ranks Idaho in 2nd place in the country for volunteerism. Why is that bad? Because it’s a freakin’ sign of how many people are suffering you Gem State rock heads! 68% of Idahoans help their struggling neighbors through ‘informal volunteering’! (Blind Bat News is brought to you by such informal charity by a tiny number of Idahoans, because Blind Bat News makes no money from advertising, and nobody wants to use the ‘donate’ button for some reason. If you guys donate maybe Blind Bat News could become a real threat to mainstreamer news sources.)
Illinois: Rock Valley College eliminating 30 jobs due to the failed state ‘lawmakers’ failing to come up with a budget. In Quincy, after 12 years Roly Poly sandwich shop shutting down after Xmas, no reason given.

Michigan: Health insurance giant Blue Cross Blue Shield warned of massive layoffs across the state. The insurance industry created ObamaCare is failing to rape-in the profits because smart and healthy ‘Mericans who don’t need health insurance know it’s a fucking ripoff and are protesting with their wallets by refusing to sign up! Blue Cross Blue Shield says as a result they must cut $300-million USD in Michigan jobs by 2018!
Minnesota: The Christian God is weaker than the God known as Money as the Catholic Diocese of Duluth now chapter 11 bankrupt busted. Of course it doesn’t help that its godly priests were caught raping children!!!

Montana: After 62 years Hi Line Cleaners in Chester shutdown.
New York:Too Big to Jail Morgan Stanley killing at least 1-thousand 2-hundred jobs in 2016!Also in NYC, ancient internet company AOL eliminated 1-hundred jobs due to its takeover of evil cell phone company Verizon!

Ohio: In Columbus, after 28 years the Wall Street Nightclub shutting down after Xmas, blaming “Financial stress from declining business and deteriorating building conditions were compounded by the loss of parking with condo development in the neighborhood and the loss of third party production companies.”
Pennsylvania: Another false ‘charity’ in money trouble, Easter Seals laid off 22 HQ employees because the state ‘lawmakers’ failed yet again to come up with a taxpayer funded budget. A true charity doesn’t rely on forcing taxpayers to ‘donate’ by asking ‘lawmakers’ to rape taxpayer funding! In Richland Township, Concurrent Technologies laying off 30 people after Xmas. Company administrators say it’s the only way they can stay “competitive” in this suck-ass global economy.

Vanquish administrators admitted they were billing U.S. taxpayers $25-million USD every year for their Afghan trucking ops: “This is part of the government contracting process…..especially with large contracts and NAT is the largest ever in Afghanistan….!”-Dawn White, marketing manager
In Nashville, after 19 years Noshville Delicatessen shutting down after Hanukkah. The entire city block has been taken over by an evil property developer.

Two people being held in two Idaho jails died on the same day, one at the Bonneville County Jail in Idaho Falls, the other at the Correctional Alternative Placement Program facility near Boise. There is a connection; both of the ‘victims’ are from Bingham County.
On 05 December, guards at Bonneville County Jail claim they found an 18 years old murder suspect dead in the cell. He had been in the county jail since August, waiting for his murder trial (so much for speedy trial as the Constitution dictates). County prison administrators claim they’re investigating the cause of death.
On 29 November, guards at the Correctional Alternative Placement Program claim a 47 years old prisoner went into seizure after taking an overdose of prescription drugs. He died in hospital on 05 December. What the hell are prisoners doing being allowed to control their own medication? Here’s a clue; the Correctional Alternative Placement Program is run by the proven to be evil (or at least incompetent) Mormon owned Management & Training Corporation! The Idaho Department of Corrections claim they will investigate the MTC related death.
Alabama: In Trussville, ObamaCare administrators have cut off funding for the Golden Living Center, forcing it to shutdown after New Year’s Day, at least 111 jobs lost! In Opelika, cafe The Overall Company shutdown, word is that a temporary coffee shop will take its place while the building is being re-purposed.

California: San Francisco’s iconic Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery now chapter 11 bankrupt busted. The dip noodle administrators blame it on their expansion creating the Magnolia Dogpatch & Smokestack BBQ restaurant. Gee if only individuals could file bankruptcy on the grounds of being stupid. In Santa Rosa, after 23 years the privately run animal shelter and children’s summer camp McDonald Ranch shutting down because evil A-hole city administrators revoked their license to operate. The owners are looking for homes for everything from guinea pigs to horses. They’re now forced to sell the property.
Florida: In Longwood, VIP Petcare issued a WARN saying 12 people will be laid off by the end of January 2016.

Idaho: Switzerland based drugs maker Novartis paid $390-million USD to settle U.S. charges of kickbacks to pharmacies that pushed Novartis’ drugs into Medicaid and Medicare patients. This is just a slap on the wrist as the money has to be split between at least 40 states. For The Gem State a piddly $52-thousand will come from that pot. By the way, this isn’t the first time Novarits got caught being a criminal in Idaho, back in 2010 they paid the state $350-thousand for basically the same thing, bribing healthcare providers for pushing their drugs!
