More Economic decline for Idaho: Coldwater Creek now busted! All remaining stores to shutdown!

14 April 2014 (00:59 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Jumada t-Tania 1435/25 Farvardin 1393/15 Wu-Chen 4712

On 11 April 2014 (and as I warned back on 11 February 2014) Idaho based women’s clothing retailer Coldwater Creek went Chapter 11, meaning it is now toast, the show is over, all stores to close down!  6-thousand jobs across the United States lost!

It’s blamed on the suck ass economy: “While we are extremely disappointed with this outcome, the company’s declining liquidity position and the challenging retail environment, together with the fact that we have exhausted all other possibilities, requires that we take this action.”-Jill Dean, CEO

More from the slow crash-n-burn of Coldwater Creek:

Fukushima, Idaho, U.S.

More Fukushima WIPP Fallout: Radiation monitors at WIPP in doubt by EPA! Jamaican nuke monitoring part of false flag nuke attack? Beware belts & bras!

08 April 2014 (13:28 UTC-07 Tango)/07 Jumada t-Tania 1435/19 Farvardin 1393/09 Wu-Chen 4712

The U.S. EPA is installing more air samplers around the shutdown Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.  According to local news reports, the EPA now questions the reliability of air sampling radiation monitors around WIPP, so they are installing redundant monitors “to identify any needed improvements and ensure adequate monitoring.”

The special investigation team has made two descents into WIPP, and a third is planned for 10 April.  They set up a command base near the plutonium and americium leak, they claim they detected no high radiation levels.  Samples have been sent to the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in eastern Idaho. The INL is also the site of the World’s first deadly nuclear reactor accident (EBR-1).

In Japan, Tokyo Electric Power Company has revealed that there is not enough storage space for all the nuclear waste that will be generated while ‘decommissioning’ the melted down Fukushima Daiichi!

TEPCo estimates 560-thousand cubic meters of waste over the next 13 years.  They plan to burn about 340-thousand cubic meters of the nuke waste!  But that will leave 220-thousand cubic meters with nowhere to go.  TEPCo says all the storage being built now will hold only 160-thousand cubic meters, or about 200 olympic sized swimming pools worth.

Japan’s fishermen have agreed to TEPCo’s plan to reroute groundwater into the ocean, but now they’ve issued demands.  The National Federation of Fisheries Cooperative Associations is demanding an independent third party to monitor the water release, and that the national government of Japan must finally take responsibility for what happens to the fishing industry.

More investigation into the U.S. taxpayer funded Department of Energy (DoE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) radiation monitoring in Jamaica and Bahamas revealed that the program actually started between 2006-09, years before Fukushima Daiichi blew up!

At the Port of Kingston, in Jamaica, it is called the Radiation Detection Program, and it is actually part of the larger War on Terror known as Megaports Initiative: “President Obama has made an unprecedented commitment to preventing the threat of nuclear terrorism by securing dangerous nuclear and other radioactive materials and keeping those materials out of the hands of proliferators and terrorist organizations.  This cooperation increases our capability to identify illicit shipments of special nuclear and other radioactive materials and bolsters the worldwide effort to prevent nuclear proliferation and terrorism.”-Ken Baker, NNSA

The Megaports Initiative involves at least 42 ports throughout Asia, Latin America, Caribbean, Europe, Middle East and Africa.  The NNSA came to life after President Bill Clinton reluctantly approved it at the end of his term as regime leader (more than one year prior to the 11 September 2001 terror attacks in the U.S.).

In 2013 the NNSA, along with the International Atomic Energy Agency, began training ‘first responders’ from Armenia, Djibouti, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, under the Radiological Assistance Program Training for Emergency Response (I-RAPTER): “….joint training to ensure that more first responders have the capability to locate, characterize, identify and control nuclear and radioactive material.”-Joseph Krol, NNSA

Clearly your fearless leaders are expecting a some kind of nuclear attack! (was it on the missing MH370?)

Already companies are producing new dubious products to protect you from radiation.

An Israeli company is marketing a belt they claim can protect your entire body from gamma radiation!  Company officials admitted that for their gamma radiation blocking material to really be effective they’d have to make a full body suit, however, it would weigh 200 kilos (441 pounds)!

The next dubious product is a bra made by a U.S. hazmat suit maker  in Florida.  They claim that by covering your boobs with their $69 bra your boobs are totally protected from radiation.  The rest of your body is screwed!  I guess vain women want their boobs to look good even if the rest of their body is ravaged by radiation contamination.  By the way, the company refuses to guarantee that your boobs will not be irradiated while wearing the expensive bra.

Skyrocketing U.S. gun sales results in record funding for wildlife conservation programs!

07 April 2014 (10:49 UTC-07 Tango)/06 Jumada t-Tania 1435/18 Farvardin 1393/08 Wu-Chen 4712

Perhaps one reason that the U.S. federal government hasn’t yet begun outright suppression of the 2nd Amendment is taxes!

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has received billions in tax revenues from gun and ammo sales, just this past year.  As a result it will distribute to the States a record $1.1-billion for wildlife conservation!

One of the federal taxes on gun/ammo sales, known as Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration, has been in effect since 1937.

Here’s an example of just how record setting the tax revenues are:  The state of Washington will receive $14.4-million just from the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration tax.  That’s $10-million more than in 2013!

Idaho will get a record $14.6-million from the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration tax.

The record levels of taxes collected on gun/ammo sales shows you that anti-gun, anti-American efforts are failing!

Martial Law 2014 U.S.A.: Idaho Christians ban book about Native Americans!

05 April 2014 (14:19 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Jumada t-Tania 1435/16 Farvardin 1393/06 Wu-Chen 4712

School District 2, the largest in Idaho, has banned a fictional book about a Native American’s experience in an all white Christian environment.

White Christian parents are upset about the truthful depiction of white Christians in the book, calling it racist and anti-Christian (like the guy said in the movie A Few Good Men “You can’t handle the truth!”).

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian will not be allowed for use in mandatory reading programs, but is still available in school libraries.

If those gottdamned white Christians think a novel is bad, wait ’till they read actual factual history about how Christians enslaved, tortured and killed Native Americans (in the process of stealing their land ‘Israeli style’, actually that’s how the Israelis learned to steal land from Palestinians) ever since that asshole Columbus arrived!

U.S. Civil War 2014: Obama regime forcing state run Air National Guard units onto federal controlled air bases!

27 March 2014 (15:46 UTC-07 Tango)/25 Jumada l-Ula 1435/07 Farvardin 1393/27 Ding-Mao 4712

“I think as anybody might expect, we’re all concerned about what the future holds for us….”-Colonel Tim Marsano, Idaho Air National Guard

Idaho’s Air National Guard has been notified that they could be forced from their state home at Gowen Field (Boise International Airport) to the USAF’s Mountain Home AFB.  This is after the Obama regime steals the last of the Idaho National Guard’s fixed wing air assets.

“We don’t know if this would come to pass, what that would mean for all of those folks. It is possible that some would go to Mountain Home Air Force Base and integrate with them down there, some would stay here. But the honest answer is at this point, we just don’t know.”-Colonel Tim Marsano, Idaho Air National Guard

It’s looking more and more like the federal government is fearing that states will declare independence, and these moves to steal their air assets and force state militia-airmen onto federal U.S. Air Force Bases is an attempt to repress such action.

Look what’s happening in Crimea.  Those Ukrainians in the military have been given two choices; leave for Ukraine or become part of the new pro-Russian Crimean SDF.

I wounder why I have yet to hear any of the dynastic, supposedly conservative-state’s rightist, Idaho politicians speak out against what the Obama regime is doing?

 “….through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose……power is derived from the consent of the governed…

…..that international law matters, that people and nations can make their own decisions about their future.

…..every society must chart its own course.

That’s what will make America strong.”-Barack Obama, Address to European Youth, 26 March 2014

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: Senator reveals true U.S. Shadow Government is in charge, not your “elected” officials! Invokes Idaho’s Frank Church!

“Now you may be a republican, or a democrat, or a libertarian I’m not here to tell you what to be.  I am here to tell you though that your rights, especially your right to privacy, is under assault.

I’m here to tell you that if you own a cell phone you’re under surveillance!  I’m here to tell you that the NSA believes that equal protection means that Americans can be spied upon equally, including Congress.  Instead of equal protection, to them it’s equal disdain.

They don’t care if your white, or black or brown, they care only that everyone must submit to the state.

……Senator Sanders…….he asked the NSA ‘Are you collecting records on Congress?’…..They said ‘Congress is getting the same treatment everybody else is.’……Digest exactly what that means.  If Congress is spied upon without their permission, who exactly is in charge of your government?

Last week….we learned that the CIA is illegally searching the computers of the Senate Intelligence Committee!  They’re the ones supposed to be overseeing the CIA!……if the CIA is spying on Congress who exactly can, or will, stop them?

……I perceive fear of the intelligence community that’s drunk with power!………who is truly in charge of our government?

……The NSA uses an automated system called ‘Turbine’.   They’ve hacked into millions of computers, the NSA as even posed as a fake Facebook server……..to infect computers.

….Your government stores your email so it can access it without a warrant. Your government claims the right to look at your every purchase online.  Your government actually claims none of your records are protected by the 4th Amendment……

.…..your government is interested in what you’re reading, they’re interested in what you’re saying on your phone calls, they’re interested in what you write in your email…….they say the 4th amendment doesn’t protect any of these records.

The NSA is collecting the records of every American………For over a year before Snowden’s revelations, Wyden [Senator from Oregon] expressed concern that the government was acting outside the law……..Clapper [intelligence boss] comes to Congress and lies.  This is a felony punishable for up to fives years, but you hear nobody talking about it!…..

…..Their only regret was that the program was no longer secret…….They’re only sorry they got caught!

…..they don’t believe any of your records have any 4th Amendment protection…..from your [online/credit card] bill the government can tell whether you drink, whether you smoke, whether you gamble, what books you read, what magazines you read, whether you see a psychiatrist, what medications you take…….

James Clapper proposed that it was OK to lie to Congress, and the American people, in the name of security.

…..lying to Congress is still a crime……..it’s harder and harder to believe them when they don’t tell the truth when they testify.

Who knows what to believe anymore?……we must limit government power.

As Americans we don’t deserve ‘the least untruthful way’ from the people we pay for, who work for us!  We have a right to the truth…….we demand the truth from our officials!

…….The 4th Amendment is very clear.  Warrants must be issued by a judge, warrants must be specific to the individual….and a single warrant for a million Americans’ phone records hardly sounds specific to the individual.  Warrants are supposed to be based on evidence or probable cause.

……The President claims ‘Well the NSA program it’s been approved by 15 judges.’  Yeah right!  15 judges most of them ruling in secret, where nobody had a lawyer on both sides….The FISA court is a court where the defendant gets no attorney.  The debate is shrouded in secrecy.  In the FISA court the NSA can say whatever they want and they are not cross examined.  A secret court is not a real court……demand an end to secret courts.

…….I will push for a select committee, styled after the Church Committee that investigated the abuse of power by the intelligence committee in the ’70s……..it should watch the watchers.”

Civil War U.S.A. 2014: Idaho about to recognize False Flag Christian take over group known as Patriot Academy!

17 March 2014 (11:23 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Jumada l-Ula 1435/26 Esfand 1392/17 Ding-Mao 4712

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion……”–1st Amendment U.S. Constitution

“Train students to understand and influence government policy with a Biblical worldview….”-Patriot Academy statement

The Gem State of Idaho is about to violate the U.S. Constitution (again) by passing SCR 141, which would governmentally recognize the Idaho branch of Patriot Academy.

The Idaho Patriot Academy was established in August 2013, at an event at the Gem State’s capitol in Boise.  Crony govna Butch Otter proclaimed August 13-16 as Patriot Academy week.  This violates the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, because Patriot Academy is a Christian organization posing as a “premier political bootcamp for students”.

The Patriot Academy has also been fomenting anti-Russian sentiment among the false Christians of the United States.

The Patriot Academy has taken over state governments in Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Idaho and Texas.

Do not confuse the “biblical” Patriot Academy with the Army National Guard Bureau’s Patriot Academy.  The National Guard’s Patriot Academy was located in Indiana, and “….was a pilot program of the National Guard Bureau from 2009-2013 that gave qualified recruits without high school diplomas the opportunity to join the National Guard, earn their diploma, and give back to the community. The last class graduated in November, 2012 and the program was terminated on January 12, 2013.”

More Economic Decline: Ashley Furniture shuts down liquidation center in Pocatello! So much for their “investment”!

12 March 2014 (15:54 UTC-07 Tango)/10 Jumada l-Ula 1435/21 Esfand 1392/12 Ding-Mao 4712

A local southeast Idaho TV station reported that Coldwell Banker realtor, Don Zebe, claims Ashley Furniture is simply selling off an “investment”, and has no plans to leave Pocatello, Idaho.   Yet he is the agent selling off both their Pocatello properties!

Ashley Furniture dumping their Oak Street "investment". Sales got so bad they started selling used cars in 2013!

Ashley Furniture Liquidation dumping their Oak Street “investment”. Sales got so bad they started selling used cars in 2013!

Ashley Furniture's Hurley Drive "investment", now up for sale. It sits on property that used to be residential, until the city forced the home owners out, so they could bring in the California based furniture seller.

Ashley Furniture HomeStore’s Hurley Drive “investment”, now up for sale. It sits on property that used to be residential, until the city forced the home owners out, so they could bring in the “independently” owned furniture store.

Zebe has the Ashley Furniture HomeStore listed for sale at $3.2-million USD, and the Ashley Furniture Liquidation store listed at $647,600.

Ashley Furniture recently announced they had more than $3-billion in furniture sales in 2013.  They also opened their 500th store, in Texas.  They claim they’re going to open 50 new stores across the U.S. in 2014.

But wait, it turns out that Ashley Furniture HomeStore, and Ashley Furniture Liquidation stores are independently owned.   These so called independently owned stores sell furniture made by Ashley Furniture Industries.

So, are the independent owners of Pocatello’s Ashley Furniture HomeStore and Liquidation stores just cashing in on their “investments”, or is there a plan in the works for new locations in Pocatello, or maybe Chubbuck?

Martial Law U.S.A. 2014: More prison corruption news out of Idaho!

Ada County: A 29 years old County Jail prisoner died.  Officials say he ODed on drugs.  So how’d he get the drugs mister prison officials?  Prison guards claim they got an anonymous note about the illegal drugs.  The prisoner was found sweating and shaking, but no drugs were found.  He was taken to a hospital where he suffered and died of a heart attack.

CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) is asking a judge to temporarily suspend a lawsuit until the FBI’s investigation into the Gladiator School is finished.

Idaho’s Department of Correction boss, Brent Reinke, is taking time off because his grandson (Bradley Frank James) is being tried for murder.   His grandson has been charged with shooting a man in the face, and then stabbing him 25 times.

Bannock County: It’s been revealed a prison guard at the Pocatello Women’s Correctional Center was fired on 05 March 2014, for threaten his wife by holding a knife against her neck (so much for gun control laws).  He has been arrested.
