U.S. Food Crisis December 2015: “…what are you supposed to do when the kids tell you they are hungry & they don’t have any money?”

Incomplete list of announced United States food supply shutdowns for the month of December, 2015: Many food suppliers/distributors are consolidating operations and killing jobs due to the collapsing grocery store and restaurant industries, as well as rising costs of food production, spread of disease and extreme weather.

Prestigious France based Le Cordon Bleu shutting down all 16 schools in the United States!

California: Emeryville based Jamba Juice announced it is shutting down 30 stores in Illinois and New York, 104 jobs lost!  Administrators said the stores “are cash flow negative”.   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.  Also in San Fran, Roosevelt Tamale Parlor shutdown due to the owner’s “health issues”.  In Mission Viejo, five years after making a “comeback” Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour shutting down after the Gregorian New Year’s Day. In City of Industry, Bay Valley Foods issued a shutdown WARN, 62 jobs lost in February 2016.  In Los Angeles, P.F.

Hawaii:  The Fresh Cafe Downtown and Fresh Cafe Kakaako shutdown with little warning.  It’s blamed on a dispute between the co-owners.

Idaho:   Pay too much for your holiday turkey?  Producers blame a shortage of the big birds (due to Bird Flu) for high store prices but the state Department of Fish and Game claims there are so many wild turkeys in eastern Idaho that they’re asking for a special “expanded” hunting season.  Turkeys are not native to Idaho and their growing population is considered a threat to native game birds.  A man in Idaho Falls has pled guilty to ripping off potato supplier Idaho Select-Select Express.  His guilty plea requires him to payback $1.7-million USD to his former employer (I’d like to know how he’s gonna do that) and in exchange prosecutors dropped 70 other charges of forgery!  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, such as with food,  through ‘informal volunteering’!   Kevin Settles, the owner of three successful Bardenay restaurant and distillery operations, decided to exodus The Gem State with his fourth op.  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.  Yep, the same ol same ol, service sector jobs that are totally reliant on manufacturing sector jobs, which they don’t got.

A U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court judge ruled that your ‘elected’ Idaho lawmakers act with extreme hatred (“animus”) regarding things like whistleblowers revealing how badly animals are treated in Idaho slaughterhouses: “The overwhelming evidence gleaned from the legislative history indicates that (the statute) was intended to silence animal welfare activists, or other whistleblowers, who seek to publish speech critical of the agricultural production industry….a review of the (statute’s) legislative history leads to the inevitable conclusion that the law’s primary purpose is to protect agricultural facility owners by, in effect, suppressing speech critical of animal-agriculture practices.”-B. Lynn Winmill

The evil and corrupt Idaho School District 25 (aka Pocatello/Chubbuck school district) fired a food service worker for giving a starving child a free lunch valued at a measly one dollar and 70 cents!  On top of that the A-hole District 25 administrators sent the good samaritan (now former) employee a letter stating they consider her act of charity “theft”!  The former food service employee told new sources she offered to pay for the meal herself but that offer was rejected by her supervisor: “…what are you supposed to do when the kids tell you they are hungry and they don’t have any money?”-Dalene Bowden, hero District 25 food service worker fired for trying to feed starving children

It just came to the point where there’s not enough coming in.”-Larry Katz, owner

It just doesn’t make sense.”-Perry Beaton, franchise owner

Kansas: In Topeka, Mad Eliza’s Cakes & Confections shutting down their brick-n-mortar store and focusing on catering only: “The many extra expenses and workload of keeping and stocking a storefront can only be justified when there is a line at the counter a large portion of the time…”-Mark and Peggy Murnahan, owners

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

U.S. Food Crisis, November 2015: “I sit at night and I worry that…this time somebody got shot…”

U.S.

Dumbing Down the United States, 4th Quarter 2015: “Students and their families are also facing steep increases in prices…”

Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon taking place across the United States, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.

Incomplete list of publicly announced education layoffs & school shutdowns from October to December 2015:

Prestigious France based Le Cordon Bleu shutting down all 16 schools in the United States! In the past decade graduates have been accusing the 115 years old cooking school of ripping them off, saying school recruiters lied about how much a cook can be paid after graduating. The U.S. Department of Education agrees and is ending federal student loan funding for Julia Child’s alma mater.

California: 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.  In San Diego, Bridgepoint Education laid off six people.  Failing to prove its graduated students can find good paying jobs France based Le Cordon Bleu shutting down its Pasadena cooking school in February, 126 jobs lost!

Florida: Dade Medical College shutdown all its campuses without warning, thousands of students and hundreds of employees out in the cold!  Basically school administrators realized they are flat broke (for numerous reasons)!   In Port Saint Louis, Teacher’s Pet and More education supply store shutting down due to nobody wanting to take over the 30+ years old business.

Idaho: The evil and corrupt School District 25 (aka Pocatello/Chubbuck school district) fired a food service worker for giving a starving child a free lunch valued at a measly one dollar and 70 cents!  On top of that the A-hole District 25 administrators sent the good samaritan (now former) employee a letter stating they consider her act of charity “theft”!  The former food service employee told new sources she offered to pay for the meal herself but that offer was rejected by her supervisor: “…what are you supposed to do when the kids tell you they are hungry and they don’t have any money?”-Dalene Bowden, hero District 25 food service worker fired for trying to feed starving children

The rip off artist known as Your Health Idaho ObamaCare enforcer is being cut loose from federal funding. For 2016 Your Health Idaho is expected to fund itself, which guarantees rates will go up.  And for more proof Idaho lawmakers’ version of ObamaCare is evil: “Students and their families are also facing steep increases in prices for policies offered on the state exchange, with average prices for a minimal coverage ‘bronze’ plan exceeding $200 per month.”-from staff report recently presented to Idaho Board of Education

The U.S. Department of Education says Idaho’s High School graduation rate is 41st out of the 50 states and Washington DC!    College of Southern Idaho revealed that 30% of its student body are still in High School!  The imbecilic Idaho Board of Education realizes that it’s a sign of a ‘significant’ change in college student body demographics (you think?).  What this really shows is a mass exodus of traditional college age students from Idaho!  According to the Idaho Department of Education more than 60 school districts saw decreasing enrollment, even though the overall statewide enrollment levels were up from last year.  For unknown reasons School District 2 (West Ada) is seeing the lion’s share of enrollment increase, far outpacing the next four districts with the top enrollment.    School District 151 is now suddenly short $15-million USD after convincing taxpayers to issue new bonds!  District administrators blame an architect from the School District 25 area for grossly under-budgeting new construction projects!  That architect admitted as much adding that “I feel sick.”   Test score rankings of home educated Idahoans versus traditional schools (yeah, the ones in blue are the homeschooled results).  Homeschooling is one reason why taxpayer funded public schools are losing students.  According to Idaho Coalition of Home Educators there’s an estimated 7-thousand kids being educated at home, in a state with a total official population of 1.5-million.  The reason the number of homeschool kids is an ‘estimate’ is that The Gem State does not have any laws regarding the tracking or even state testing of home educated kids.  In related news (and something I wish happened when my kids were attending School District 25), a local judge has ruled that West Ada School Board violated the state Constitution by charging fees.  In fact the ruling reveals just about all Idaho public schools are violating the state Constitution: “So we’re hoping that moms and dads will ask these questions about ‘Why are you charging fees when they’re unconstitutional?’”-Russell Joki, West Ada School Board member who actually agrees with the court ruling

Illinois:  Black Hawk College warned it must eliminate jobs to cover a $1.5-million shortfall.  Rock Valley College eliminating 30 jobs due to the failed state ‘lawmakers’ failing to come up with a budget.  Richland Community College laying off staff and refusing to pay MAP grants to students, blaming the failed state ‘lawmakers’ for failing to come up with a budget!   In Obama’s homie-town three charter schools being shutdown; Lighthouse Academy, Amandla High school and Betty Shabazz-Barbara A. Sizemore Academy.  Apparently they’ve failed to meet performance standards.   Since October the Illinois State Museum has been closed due to the Failed State ‘lawmakers’ failing to come up with a budget.  Now local news reports say two thirds of the staff have been forced to retire early, or quit!

Indiana: In Terre Haute, God refuses to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ John Paul II Catholic High School.  The school was opened in 2000 but cannot generate enough cash to continue operating.  (so money is the true god?)

Iowa: In West Des Moines, Kingdom Kids Academy shutdown. News reports say administrators refuse to say why, but employees say new management suddenly backed out and quit.  Bridgepoint Education-Ashford University moving ahead with shutting down its Clinton campus in 2016, at least 50 jobs lost.  In 2011 the university had 959 full time students, in 2015 full time enrollment dropped to 418!

Kentucky:  In Louisville, after 35 years the Parent-Teacher Store & Toys Too shutting down in 2016, blaming crashing sales and skyrocketing operating costs.

Massachusetts: In Ware, God refuses to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ Saint Mary’s School after 91 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) of education.  It’s blamed on what I call The Rapture, I mean what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome (they’re down to just 32 students). 

Michigan:  Kent City Community Schools shutdown their elementary school, blaming water service problems.   Detroit Public Schools selling off 16 schools and eliminating bilingual jobs!  News reports indicate that the elimination of bilingual personnel could lead to students being taken out of school, which will further reduce funding for the dip-noodle school district.  East Jackson School District announced they must layoff six teachers due to unexpectedly low student enrollment.

Minnesota: In Austin, Riverland Community College joins the new trend of eliminating nursing programs and laid off six nursing instructors and halted the enrollment of new nursing students!  Administrators blame ObamaCare saying “We’re making changes in the curriculum so that our program is more reflective of the health industry today.” 

Missouri: God refuses to stop ‘his’ Evangel University from using attrition to eliminate 44 jobs by next school year.  33 faculty and staff have already been forced into early retirement.

Montana: The University of Montana eliminating 201 jobs due to what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome.  Since 2011 the University of Montana has lost nearly 5-thousand students!

New Jersey: More proof internet/high-tech jobs are not recession resistant; Mercer County Community College announced it is eliminating as many as 24 IT jobs.  

New York: God refuses to stop ‘his’ College of Saint Rose from laying off 23 people after Xmas.  Briarcliffe College issued a shutdown WARN, 294 jobs lost by December 2018!

North Carolina:   College apartment complex operator Campus Crest shutting down their HQ and eliminating 70 jobs by February 2016. Campus Crest is being sold-off.

Ohio: In North Olmsted, the Butternut Primary School shutting down after this school year.  Administrators are playing a property shell game promising to eventually build a new school.

South Dakota: In Sioux Falls, after 38 years non-profit Kilian Community College announced they’re shutting down in May 2016. Administrators blame a rapidly changing higher education environment.  God refuses to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ Christian Center School (after 35 years of service) at the end of this school year.

Tennessee:  In Union, Deb ‘n Heir kids clothing store shutting down after 55 years.  When asked why he didn’t have barcodes on his merchandise the owner proved the new tech age is actually dumbing people down when he responded “Most of it I just kept in my head.”

3rd Quarter 2015:  “To save that kind of money, you have to do something drastic….It’s a necessary evil.”

Dumbing Down Japan: ‘Secret’ order to eliminate ‘thinking’ classes revealed!

ObamaCare job destruction, 4th quarter 2015: “The straw that broke the camel’s back…the Affordable Care Act…”

The following is an incomplete list of healthcare job cuts that took place, or were announced, from October to December 2015, and were directly or indirectly blamed on Obama Care (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act).

On 19 December 2015, during a televised presidential candidate debate Hillary Clinton admitted that skyrocketing health insurance, and health care costs, were the result of ObamaCare “glitches”!

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!  Limestone Hospital eliminated 15 jobs after the county halted $1-million USD in taxpayer support!  Hospital administrators warned that could be the tip of the iceberg.   East Alabama Medical Center shutdown their baby birthing shop.

Arizona:  Tucson based Carondelet Health Network laid off 1-hundred people!  Non-profit Meritus Health Partners shutdown by ObamaCare, 59-thousand people will lose their promised healthcare insurance as a result!   

California:  In Rancho Cordova, medical device maker Volcano began another round of layoffs, 60 people now unemployed.  News reports said at one time there were almost 7-hundred Volcano employees, but estimates it’s now less than 1-hundred.  In Los Angeles, Cedar-Sinai Medical Center issued a layoff WARN, 57 jobs lost by February 2016.   Medical vascular care company Abbott Vascular shutdown their Redwood City ops, 144 people now jobless!  In San Jose, medical device maker Boston Scientific laid off 75 people.  In San Diego, Arena Pharmaceuticals eliminated 79 jobs.   In Los Angeles, Hersha Hospitality Management claimed it was shutting down temporarily.   Fireman’s Fund Insurance issued a layoff WARN for their Novato office, 73 jobs lost.

Connecticut:  Hartford Health Care eliminating 120 jobs at Windham Hospital.  Evil drugs researcher Bristol-Myers Squibb laying off 78 employees between January and March 2016.  ObamaCare forcing the state to cut Medicare, which in turn forcing Day Kimball Healthcare to eliminate 23 jobs: “Once again, our organization has been dealt a severe financial blow from the state that has far-reaching repercussions. We have no choice but to be proactive in cutting costs…”-Robert Smanik, president and CEO

Florida:  Health insurance company Preferred Medical Plan issued a layoff WARN saying they lost so many customers that they must now eliminate 162 jobs in February 2016!   Dade Medical College shutdown all its campuses without warning, thousands of students and hundreds of employees out in the cold!  Affordable Care Act forcing ResCare to layoff 79 employees in Homestead.  Reports that Citrus Memorial Hospital eliminated jobs.    In Fort Lauderdale,  The Recovery Place laid off 125 healthcare workers !  In Miami Lakes, Outpatient Services laid off 28 healthcare workers.

Idaho:  Idaho’s version of ObamaCare has directly caused a death. Jenny Steinke died in Idaho Falls, her husband Jason had just gotten insurance, but it didn’t go into effect until 01 September, the very day Jenny suffocated to death due to her asthma.  Jason stated that ObamaCare is “just not affordable” and bemoaned his wife’s death “I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.”  Jason’s mother Cella describes Idaho’s version of ObamaCare as nothing more than “death by poverty.” 

Kaiser Family Foundation study says Idaho is one of dozens of states keeping low income people from affordable ObamaCare (called the Coverage Gap), and that it’s actually costing taxpayers more money as a result, saying the cost of healthcare in The Gem State went up 6.9%!

Lewiston’s non-profit Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center is up for sale.   A federal court has ordered the sale of Saltzer Medical Group.  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.  The state Department of Health and Welfare is slashing Medicaid payments for in-home care of mentally disabled people.  Already, in-home care operation A New Leaf, in Meridian, is shutting down and eliminating 39 jobs as a result.  Many more in-home care operations will be shutdown as the draconian state ‘lawmakers’ want to warehouse disabled people in institutions.    The ObamaCare insurance exchange (Your Health Idaho) admitted that 78-thousand Idahoans (in a state with about 1.5-million people) whose low incomes (or sex; that fact they’re healthy low income adult males) won’t allow them to qualify for Idaho’s sexist Medicaid program!  And for 2016 Your Health Idaho is being cut loose from federal funding, which guarantees rates will go up.  And for more proof Idaho lawmaker’s version of ObamaCare is evil: “Students and their families are also facing steep increases in prices for policies offered on the state exchange, with average prices for a minimal coverage ‘bronze’ plan exceeding $200 per month.”-from staff report recently presented to Idaho Board of Education

Illinois:  God refuses to stop ObamaCare from forcing ‘his’ Hospital Sisters Health System to end inpatient healthcare services at Saint Mary’s Hospital, other services are being consolidated to other hospitals, 3-hundred jobs affected!   Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) medical device tax (and crashing profits) forcing medical device maker Baxter International to eliminate 1-thousand 4-hundred jobs!

Iowa: Insurance company Transamerica warned of mass layoffs in 2016.  It’s part of their ongoing consolidation operations.  They’ve already consolidated 14 division into two, eventually there will be only one!

Kansas:  In Topeka, the non-profit health care Marian Clinic shutting down affecting at least 4-hundred low income patients.  Local news reports say the Shawnee County Health Agency is experiencing a steady increase in patient inquiries since the announcement that Marian Clinic was shutting down.  1-hundred years old (surviving the Great Depression and numerous recessions) Mercy Hospital shutdown,  administrators admitting they’ve lost a lot of money since Affordable Care Act went into effect.

Kentucky:    Louisville based healthcare provider Humana announced they will no longer accept patients under specific ObamaCare health plans, affecting at least 100-thousand people: “Operating results for the company’s individual commercial medical business continue to be challenged primarily due to the volatility related to the start of the healthcare exchange program created under the Affordable Care Act….”–Humana 3rd quarter financial report

Louisiana:   South Beauregard Health Center in Longville shutdown  blaming crashing patient volume caused by Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare)! 

Massachusetts:  Baystate Health eliminating as many as 40 jobs and consolidating inpatient care, blaming ObamaCare. Partners HealthCare System shutdown their Spaulding Hospital for Continuing Medical Care North Shore, 3-hundred jobs lost! 

Michigan:   Detroit Medical Center reducing the number of its jobs by about 125!  Administrators blame ObamaCare for forcing them to “achieve efficiencies across our system”.  They laid of 127 people last year.  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 scam 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: In Austin, Riverland Community College joins the new trend of eliminating nursing programs and laid off six nursing instructors and halted the enrollment of new nursing students!  Administrators blame ObamaCare saying “We’re making changes in the curriculum so that our program is more reflective of the health industry today.” 

Mississippi: Merit Health Natchez laid off 13 people.

Montana: State ‘lawmakers’ are shutting down the Montana Developmental Center.  State representative Denise Hayman (who is opposed to shutting MDC down) says mentally handicapped patients are already being transferred to prisons!  

Nebraska: In Omaha, God refuses to stop ObamaCare from forcing Catholic Health Initiatives from eliminating 60 jobs. 

New Hampshire:  Valley Regional Hospital eliminated eight jobs in an effort to be “not quite break-even but…sustainable”.    Monadnock Community Hospital laid off six people and eliminated vacant jobs: “This is largely as a result of the changes in the Affordable Care Act, which really got into full swing in 2014.”-Laura Gingras, vice president of philanthropy and community relations

New York: The town of Hamburg eliminating 29 jobs and blaming it on ObamaCare!  ObamaCare (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) resulted in jacking up healthcare costs for the city so much that the only way they can pay for it is to eliminate jobs!  After 57 years Slaterville Volunteer Ambulance Service shutdown, due to lack of volunteers.  Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) forcing EmblemHealth Services to issue a shutdown WARN for their NYC Claims Processing office, 101 jobs lost by February 2016!  In Rochester, Sweden based medical tech Getinge Sourcing announced 52 layoffs by January 2016.  The Jewish Board of Family and Children Services shutting down their Copiague Mental Health Clinic & PROS Possibilities program as well as their Central Islip Mental Health Clinic and ACT Program and their Hempstead Mental Health Clinic & Nassau County Care Coordination programs, at least 214 jobs lost!  County taxpayer funded Summit Park Hospital and Nursing Care Center shutting down after Xmas, due to a potential buyer backing out of the $32-million USD sale.  4-hundred jobs lost!  Due to the pending shutdown of New York Presbyterian Hospital Family Medicine Center (in January 2016), Hunter Ambulette-Ambulance lost their contract, 113 jobs lost!  Is Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) behind Health Republic Insurance of New York shutdown?  147 jobs lost!

Ohio:  Wheelchair maker Invacare conducted a second round of layoffs, this time 30 people were let go.  Back in August they laid off 150 people.   Lakewood Hospital Foundation shutdown their Thrifty Peddler resale shop, saying “circumstances change”.  And the Lakewood Hospital itself being shutdown in favor of a smaller clinic operation.  Mercy Health warned it will eliminate 24 jobs, blaming ObamaCare (Affordable Care Act) for “changing” healthcare.   Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act forcing Gallipolis based Holzer Health System to eliminate 1-hundred jobs in Ohio and West Virginia!  Administrators directly blamed ObamaCare saying it “resulted in dramatic change in healthcare service delivery models.”  They also stated that ObamaCare is actually doing the reverse of what it promised, it’s actually preventing people from getting healthcare!   Health insurance company Assurant shutting down their two years old Dayton call center, 150 jobs affected!  Two years ago the company promised to employ 2-hundred people, in anticipation of increased demand due to ObamaCare forcing people to buy health insurance, but guess what, it didn’t happen.

Oregon:   Yet another affordable insurance co-op shutting down, this time it’s non-profit Health Republic.  The forced shutdown will affect 8-hundred Oregon businesses and 15-thousand individuals! 

Pennsylvania:  Drugs pusher Philidor Rx Services finally revealed to state administrators that they shutdown, back on 23 November, 262 jobs lost!  Bemis Healthcare Packaging shutting down in January 2016, no job numbers given.   ObamaCare likely behind the job destruction at AmeriHealth Administrators.  They issued two mass layoff WARNs saying 476 Keystone State jobs (130 at Horsham & 346 at Fort Washington) are being lost as the company is moving elsewhere!  University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing shutting down by New Year’s Eve, 108 jobs lost!    After 101 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) the non-profit Mahanoy City Visiting Nurse Association killed off by skyrocketing costs and lack of donations.   Once again, God not as powerful as ObamaCare as Saint Joseph’s Hospital is shutting down, at least 675 people out of a job by March 2016!  Because of ObamaCare hospital services are being consolidated into fewer locations.

Rhode Island: Blue Cross Blue Shield announced it will eliminate 80 jobs over the next 17 months.  The health insurance company is joining the trend of contracting out its IT operations, ironically blaming ObamaCare (ironic because the health insurance industry created ObamaCare).

South Carolina: ObamaCare killing off yet another affordable insurance co-op, this time it’s non-profit Consumers’ Choice Health Insurance being forced to shutdown, leaving 67-thousand customers without affordable insurance!  Nason Medical Center shutdown all five  Lowcountry urgent care centers and laid off all remaining employees, saying “We thank you and wish you the best of success in your new positions wherever they may be.”

That was going to require new revenue and the commission felt like they couldn’t do that through a tax increase.”-Jerry Strong, director

Texas:  TAPS medical transportation in Wichita Falls shutdown.  In Fort Worth, Forest Park Medical Center chapter 11 bankrupt busted and for sale.   Bowie Memorial Hospital has ceased to exist after cash strapped taxpayers voted down a funding initiative.  138 hospital employees and another 336 ‘outside’ jobs lost!

Proof Police conducting genocide against U.S. citizens! Where’s the so called war on cops?

27 December 2015, 19:13 UTC-07 Tango 01 (07 Dey 1394/14 Rabi’a’-Awwal 1437/18 Wu Zi 4713)

The Washington Post has updated their death by cop data for 2015; so far more than 960 people have been shot and killed by police across the U.S., that’s not a war on cops that’s genocide by the cops!  (remember, this data is the number of people shot and killed by cops, it doesn’t include other forms of death by cop)

564 victims were allegedly armed with guns, 281 victims were ‘armed’ with anything from a knife to a toy!  90 victims were not armed with anything!

As far as the claims by police departments that there’s a war on them, data going back to 1870 prove them dead wrong, in fact 2015 could be one of the least deadliest years on record for cops:

CNN straight up lies about Arab nations not fighting Islamic State!

10 December 2015 (11:32 UTC-07 Tango 01)/19 Azar 1394/27 Safar 1437/29 Wu Zi 4713

CNN has posted a flat anti-Arab propagandist article titled War on ISIS: Why Arab states aren’t doing more. The article straight up accuses Arab nations of not doing enough to fight the False Flag U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]).

First off, as I just pointed out DAIISH is the creation of the United States, European Union, Israel and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).   The CNN article even points out that KSA and United Arab Emirates (another DAIISH supporter) are not helping attack DAIISH.  No shit Sherlock, they fund DAIISH!  CNN tries to excuse KSA by claiming it’s fighting a proxy war with Iran in Yemen.  The true reason why KSA invaded Yemen is because the Yemenis were kicking  ass all over U.S., EU, Saudi and Israeli created Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH insurgents, despite their own civil war!

Secondly, the majority of ‘Arab’ states are locked in combat with said DAIISH!  Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia and Palestine.  Your main stream U.S. news media never tells you about that.

CNN is either a government pay-rolled propagandist, or CNN has missed the intelligence boat, big time!

United Police States: Sex Crimes get Washington cops suspended without pay!

10 December 2015 (08:37 UTC-07 Tango 01)/19 Azar 1394/27 Safar 1437/29 Wu Zi 4713

The rape victim is a fellow police officer! 

In the state of Washington at least two policemen (smoe reports say three) have been suspended without pay after being accused of sex crimes.   The city of Spokane suspended one cop accused of Second Degree Rape, another cop suspended for First Degree Rendering Criminal Assistance and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer.

One of the officers is the president of the local police guild!  The rape allegedly took place at a police party in October.  Statements by the victim made it sound like she might have been drugged because she felt “very intoxicated” before passing out.

Investigators say they were helped by the accused cops’ own cell phone calls and text messages.  Of course, the accused cops pled not guilty, despite those phone and text records.

In the Failed State of Illinois, lawsuits have finally forced Chicago’s evil Independent Police Review Authority to release data on criminal cop behavior (even though it’s supposed to publically available): An average of one civilian shot every week for the past eight years!  56-thousand complaints filed against cops during the time periods of 2001-2008 and 2011-2015 (no explanation why only those times periods were released)!

What happened to the real hijacked 9-11 airliners, or MH370? Take a look, and be scared!

08 December 2015 (11:50 UTC-07 Tango 01)/17 Azar 1394/25 Safar 1437/27 Wu Zi 4713

The claim that the airliners that crashed into the World Trade Center were not the actual civilian airliners has been poo-pooed by countering ‘then what happened to the real airliners?’  The same has been said about claims Malaysian Airlines MH370 was actually flown to a secret airport.  Guess what, there’s plenty of pictorial evidence of such secret airports!  Most are abandoned airports or military bases, but even today the operating airport in Malaysia has revealed they have several airliners that nobody knows where they came from or who owns them!  Take a look at the evidence, see if any look like planes that we’ve been told disappeared or were used in terrorist attacks.

A couple of the several abandoned airliners recently ‘discovered’ at Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

In 2014, it was revealed that NATO supported insurgents in Libya ‘disappeared’ 11 airliners from the Tripoli International Airport, they have yet to be found.

California Shooting CRAFT INTERNATIONAL False Flag Op! News media continually described black GMC, innocents in black Ford sacrificed! Witnesses swear shooters were 3 men!

08 December 2015 (10:35 UTC-07 Tango 01)/17 Azar 1394/25 Safar 1437/27 Wu Zi 4713

“…just one in a long string of false flag events that I am afraid to say are not over. We’ll probably be seeing several more before the end of the year, because of the events that are going on in the world, specifically with the NATO being implicated in the buying of oil from DAIISH and other events…”-Steven D Kelley, former NSA/CIA contractor

In the immediate aftermath of the 02 December Inland Regional Center shootings in San Bernardino, California, all mainstreamer news sources were being told by the FBI and local police that basically nobody saw it coming, then yesterday the FBI came out and stated that the couple police murdered had been radicalized “for some time”.

And it could be outright murder by cop of that couple, why? Because they were driving in a black Ford Expedition, not the black GMC Yukon that I heard every California TV stations repeatedly describe all afternoon!  I even heard several California TV newscasters question why the suspected shooters were still driving around in the area hours after the Inland Regional Center shooting went down.

Police even admitted they targeted the couple because the man had left the Inland Regional Center holiday party upset after getting in an argument with co-workers.  He and his immigrant wife were set up, murdered by the very perpetrators of the shooting, it’s called being a patsie!  Not only does the couple’s Ford Expedition not match what the local mainstreamer news was describing for hours on end, but the couple does not match witness after witness testimony that the shooters were at least three men!

Witness after witness interviewed by local SoCal TV news said there were three shooters, all men.  One woman, interviewed after the cops murdered the two people (a man and a woman) in the Ford Expedition (at that time the media was still calling it a GMC Yukon), swore that it was three men doing the shooting at the Inland Regional Center.  The live reporter asked her if she was sure, based on what cops were saying at that point, and she stated the shooters were “Three athletically built males.” 

Then there’s the man who said his wife called him from the Center and said “A man dressed in black was shooting into the first floor of the building.”   This was while other relatives of people inside the Inland Regional Center said “two men were walking the hallways shooting”.

Then there’s Jose Rosa who said he was driving on the street where cops blasted what we now know is a Ford Expedition.  He said he was forced to stop, it sounded like the cops didn’t expect him to be there, but he said he saw a “man dressed like an officer” exit the black SUV.  Many witnesses described the three male shooters as being dressed in black and/or tan uniforms.

“The people that were on the scene and saw this happen also reported that three tall white men wearing black shirts, khaki pants and tanned combat boots were actually the shooters. The description is almost exactly what the gentlemen from Craft International, the mercenary organization that was involved in so many other false flags, actually look like. This seems to be their standard uniform. The people that are being implicated, the couple, first of all if they were planning something, if they were radicalized as this is being said, and clearly the NSA, the FBI will be right on the top of these people all the time, but rather than stopping them from doing something, they were nurtured to be used for this exact purpose. I do not suspect that these people have anything to do with the actual shooting. I suspect that these were patsies. Obviously, the United States is getting very very desperate; the government here is very desperate, they need to do something immediately to disarm the United States prior to a revolution, because the people here are waking up very fast, and they are ready to shut down this evil empire.”-Steven D Kelley, former NSA/CIA contractor

Chris Kyle, now dead? founder of Craft International

Craft International was founded by ‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle.  In 2014 his wife sued Craft International for illegally using his image, after he was killed, to promote themselves.

“Kyle is in major trouble. He had just published a book, American Sniper, in which he had proven to have lied. Moreover, the lie was against a prominent individual, Jesse Ventura, who called him on the lies and ending up suing him for defamation. It was a clear case for Ventura: he was in the right, and he could prove it. That meant the damages could be big, far more than Kyle could possibly afford. Trial was set for August 1, 2013. Then, suddenly, people are to believe, the veteran sniper turns up dead, shot to death by an associate on a firing range.”– Did Craft International’s Chris Kyle Fake his Death?

Pic of Craft International mercenary planting backpack bomb at Boston Marathon, it’s definitely not a Chechen: 

Be aware that nobody was allowed into the area where the black Ford Expedition was blasted, not only during and after the police execution, but even before!  I saw several witness in the neighborhood tell local TV that police told everybody to stay away BEFORE THE MASSIVE GUNFIRE TARGETING THE FORD EXPEDITION BEGAN!  Even a newspaper reporter stated he was prevented from entering the area when the cops aimed their guns on him and order him to leave.

I’ve witnessed this type of False Flag tactic used by San Bernardino County Sheriff deputies before.  They seal off a neighborhood before perpetrating a crime.  In 1983 I was driving home from work after working several hours overtime at Edwards Air Force Base Bombing Range, it was almost midnight when I approached my residence in Hesperia, California.  Just two blocks from my street there was a couple of what looked to be hastily erected barricades, no signage no police visible, I drove around the barricades as there was no other way to get to my street.  Suddenly I was swarmed by San Bernardino County cop cars, with one deputy drawing his weapon and screaming like a drugged out speed freak.  Not once did he ask for my ID, he did not ask me to get out of my car, all he was freaked out about was that I had crossed the barricade.  He was literally screaming his head off, pointing his revolver at me.  I explained I was on my way home from work and even tried to show him my driver’s license to prove my address.  He screamed at me to get home and if he saw me again that night he would “shoot your sorry ass!”   And I’m not even ‘black’ or ‘Hispanic’!

This was the first of several incidents where I learned that the number one drugs dealer in San Bernardino County is the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department!  I had friends in Victorville and Hesperia who were into drug use and guess where they bought most of their drugs from?  San Bernardino County cops!  In one case we went to a house in Victorville, the deputy had his  taxpayer issued cop car parked in his driveway, he sold my friend a baggie of ganja right thought his bedroom window!  There were a lot of house parties back in the ’80s, and at one party I identified a man selling cocaine as a San Bernardino County deputy because I had encountered him before, when he was wearing his cop uniform. The amazing thing is nobody else at the party seemed upset that he was a cop.

In the mid 1990s, as a TV news producer at KYMA in Yuma, Arizona, I was constantly getting phone calls from people claiming to have evidence that cops were behind the massive drugs smuggling from Mexico.  I was particularly interested in the calls we constantly got from people in Mohave County, Arizona.  Dozens of calls from different people claiming their sons had been “recruited” by San Bernardino County (which borders Arizona’s Mohave County) deputies to act as drug informants only to have them arrested and imprisoned once they crossed into California!  In other words, teenagers in Arizona were being set up by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department in California, given drugs to ‘traffick’ into California under the guise of being an undercover agent for ‘the good guys’ then being arrested by those good guys and having all their property stolen under the Criminal and Civil Forfeiture laws.  After asking my News Director, several times, about investigating these allegations I was finally brought into a closed door meeting where I was told “We in the news media don’t report such things.  We don’t give airtime to people in jail or even the man on the street when it comes to serious issues. Our only official sources are the government and corporate representatives.”  It was further explained that this unwritten policy was at the suggestion of news media attorneys who were trying to prevent lawsuits, or the FCC from shutting us down.  It’s also unwritten policy for local TV news to “make friends” with local law enforcement.

My last few weeks at KYMA, in 1996 before being transferred to KPVI in Pocatello, Idaho, was covering a mass shooting event.  That shooting involved two Yuma cops machine gunned to death, each one having a full clip of MAC10 rounds pumped into them while they were at the combined drug task force HQ.  Who was the shooter?  Another cop!  A cop who was setting himself up as THE drug lord of Algodones, Mexico!   The two cops he killed had been investigating the disappearance of guns, cash and drugs from their evidence vault, and the trail led to this undercover U.S. cop operating in Mexico.  An obvious question we in the local news media were not allowed to ask was how did this undercover cop know that he was being investigated, and how did he know who the investigating cops were?  The obvious answer is he was tipped off by fellow ‘bad cops’.  DON’T TELL ME THE COPS AND THE GOVERNMENT ARE ON OUR SIDE, THEY ARE THE PUPPET MASTERS OF DRUG DEALERS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES!  Drugs are the number one cause of mass shootings in United States!
