ObamaCare Hell: FEMA says almost 60% of Idaho’s firefighters screwed over by Affordable Health Care! An ObamaCare backdoor tax increase revealed!

15 January 2014 (22:45 UTC-07 Tango 14 January 2013)/13 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/25 Dey 1392/15 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“…about $300 per employee per month to insure them…….If we are forced to provide these insurance benefits I think you will see a lot of fire departments out of business.”–Bryan Grover, Central Fire District, Rigby, Idaho

FEMA’s own U.S. Fire Administration says 57.8% of Idaho’s fire fighting operations are considered “volunteer”.  Under Obama Care even volunteer fire departments have to start paying for insurance.

A couple of weeks ago some main stream U.S. news sources reported that the IRS (the ones who’ll be fining those they believe are in violation of Obama Care at the end of the year) gave volunteer fire departments an exemption.  But that’s not true, the ‘exemption’ was only a suggestion on the IRS blog, it still has not been ‘implemented’: “We are going to need to wait and read the final implementing regulations very closely before we can 100% declare victory.”-David Finger, National Volunteer Fire Council

If the exemption is not implemented then not only could there be less fire fighters on hand, but your local taxes will jack up 35%!

But Idaho’s volunteer firefighters are not the ones who’ll be hardest hit, 92.7% of Nebraska’s fire departments are considered volunteer!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 30 December 2013-02 January 2014: Woman who bitch slapped cop to face criminal charges! Afghans have the guts to fight hand to hand with corrupt cops! Pakistan wants U.S. to stay! Snow Leopards thriving in war!

Farah Province: In Qala Ka District, two road workers were killed when they struck a landmine.

Helmand Province: A 22 years old USMC Sergeant, from the U.S. state of Washington, was shot and killed. The U.S. Department of Defense said they were investigating the incident.

Herat Province: Reports that a female politician in the city of Herat was assassinated.  She was shot as she walked home from work.

Kabul Province: The Interior Affairs Ministry of Afghanistan says it will take legal action against the female representative from Ghazni Province, who bitch slapped a cop in front of the Pakistani Embassy.

Logar Province: In Baraki Barak District, a motorcycle bomb exploded in a busy market.  Six people killed, 18 wounded.

Samangan Province:  Residents protesting the provincial governor, turned violent after a week of demonstrations.  They want him and other politicians to resign on the grounds of corruption.  Police fought the protestors, two people killed, at least eight wounded.  What anti-corruption protestors in the United States have the guts to mano-a-mano with pro-government cops?

Uruzgan Province: U.S. led Afghan government forces stopped a young man and his aunt as they were riding on a motorcycle.  In classic Israeli style, the government forces accused the man of using the motorcycle to traffic explosives and beat him senseless in front of his aunt.

Zabul Province: In Qalat City, one cop killed two wounded when they drove over a landmine.

British empire news media are reporting that the Obama regime is so desperate, that officials with the U.S. Department of Defense are now begging President Hamid Karzai to sign the 2014 Security deal!  The Bilateral Security Agreement could see U.S. military personnel incountry for another ten years.  Recent surveys show an overwhelming majority of U.S. citizens hate the occupation of Afghanistan, even more than the number of U.S. citizens who hated the U.S. occupation of Vietnam.

Pakistan’s new ambassador to the United States, Jalil Abbas Jilani, says the fear of a U.S. pullout is flooding Pakistan with refugees: “Even the talk of U.S. pullout has started having its impact. Pakistan has started to receive more Afghan refugees than before….”

U.S. taxpayers ripped off again! The highly expensive armored car known as MRAP (mine resistant armored patrol vehicles) are being chopped up for scrap in Afghanistan, rather than be shipped back to the United States.  U.S. taxpayers forked out $1-million USD for each MRAP!  So far, as of October 2013, 938 MRAPs have been scrapped (that’s more than $1-billion worth down the shit hole!).

Snow Leopards are making a comeback despite decades of war among humans.  The National Environmental Protection Agency of Afghanistan reports an increase in the number of Snow Leopards being sighted.  This seems to coincide with the decline of Snow Leopards further north in Mongolia.

Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing Civil Engineering Squadron, from the U.S. state of Arkansas, returned home from Afghanistan.

Exceptional Failed State: The Hell of ObamaCare Lies! More proof it’s about killing the economy & your health care! Taxpayer bailout of insurance industry in the works, in case of Obama Care failure!

13 January 2014 (09:47 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/23 Dey 1392/13 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

There are more studies that show that more and more people are getting their working hours cut drastically, all so unAmerican Corporate America can avoid providing mandatory health benefits (under Obama Care) for employees who work 30 hours a week or more: “Employers often prefer part-time workers because they don’t have to pay benefits and can pay less per hour than full-timers.”-Arne Kalleberg, University of North Carolina

Even if minimum wage is increased to a pathetic $10 USD per hour, it still won’t be enough because so many people will be working less than 30 hours per week!

Recently the Obama regime proudly said that 6-million people enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.  Lie!  It’s been revealed that 3.9-million of that claim was actually people finding out that they were ‘eligible’ for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and that was back in October/November!

Then Marilyn Tavenner, administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, went and spoiled it even more by stating most of the people that the Obama regime claims have been signed up for Medicaid under Obama Care were already enrolled long before, and just happen to be renewing their Medicaid enrollment at the time Obama Care begins!

In other words most of the 6-million Obama Care “enrollments” are actually people finding out they’re eligible, or mostly people already enrolled in Medicaid and simply renewing!

CNN has been reporting on the growing number of people who’ve paid for insurance through Obama Care, and have sought medical help only to be denied because of technicalities!  Those technicalities range from not having proper insurance ID cards, to not picking the right doctor under their Obama Care insurance plan, to being “lost” within the insurance provider’s “system”!

The people being denied care, many who make too much money to get ‘free’ Obama Care coverage, are also complaining that they are constantly given the “runaround” by insurance companies and Obama Care reps when they call to complain. CNN also reported that insurance companies admit they are getting swamped by a “unprecedented level” of complaints.

Daily News reporting that the supposed Spanish language version of the Obama Care website (CuidadoDeSalud.gov) is preventing Spanish speaking residents from signing up because it’s not written in Spanish: “When you get into the details of the plans, it’s not all written in Spanish. It’s written in Spanglish….”-Adrian Madriz, Obama Care ‘navigator’ in Florida

U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman, Darrell Issa, is warning U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.  He basically accused her of lying to Congress: “Witnesses who purposely give false or misleading testimony during a congressional hearing may be subject to criminal liability……With that in mind, I write to request that you correct the record and to implore you to be truthful with the American public about matters related to Obamacare going forward.”

Click here to read the Forbes report on the Milliman study that proves Obama Care will fail financially.

And now there are reports that if Obama Care fails, then U.S. taxpayers will pay to bailout out the insurance industry! Seems fitting, the insurance industry wrote Obama Care to begin with, so why not rip off the dumb ass taxpayers of the United States even more!!!!

Exceptional Failed State: Jews control United States banking system! Obama kisses their asses! Mein Kampf becomes a best seller, again!

13 January 2014 (08:47 UTC-07 Tango)/11 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/23 Dey 1392/13 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” -Quote attributed to Woodrow Wilson, U.S. President who signed Federal Reserve Act in 1913

Ever since the end of World War 2 we’ve been hit by massive pro-Israeli/Jewish propaganda stating that the idea that the Jews control international (western) banking is nothing but a false stereotype, or a myth.  If you check just a few facts you’ll realize the most famous NAZI, Adolph Hitler, was right!

Fact: The Obama regime recently nominated an Israeli citizen and former Bank of Israel boss, Stanley Fischer, to be vice chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Fact: The new chairman of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, is Jewish.

Facts: Former Federal Reserve bosses Ben Bernanke (2006-14), Alan Greenspan (1987-2006),  Arthur F. Burns (1970-78), Eugene R. Black (1933-34) and Eugene I. Meyer (1930-33, also became the first president of the World Bank) are Jewish.

Facts: Paul Volker (Fed chairman 1979-87) was born to a Jewish mother who converted to Lutheranism. Under orthodox Jewish law you are Jewish if your mother is Jewish.  Volker helped the Nixon administration destroy the Brenton Woods agreement by taking the U.S. off the gold standard.  Also, other researchers claim the following Fed Reserve chairmen are Jewish or have Jewish ancestry, although info on these guys is sparse:  Roy A. Young (1927-30), Daniel R. Crissinger (1923-27), William P. G. Harding (1916-22) and Charles S. Hamlin (1914-16).

Facts: Apparently the only ‘Christian’ Fed Chairmen were Marriner S. Eccles (1934-48), a Mormon from Utah, and William M. Martin Jr (1951-70) a Presbyterian from Missouri.  Eccles was involved in creating the evil World Bank and International Monetary Fund.  Martin’s father helped create the Federal Reserve bank. Info available for Thomas B. McCabe (1948-51) and G. William Miller (1978-79, also member of evil Club of Rome) do not suggest any religious/ethnic affiliation.

Fact: 11 out of 15 Federal Reserve chairman are Jewish or have Jewish ancestry.

Facts: Fed Reserve governor Sarah Bloom Raskin is married to Jamie Raskin, who is Jewish.  Fed Reserve governor Jeremy C. Stein is Jewish, as is Moise Y. Safra Professor of Economics at Harvard University.  Governor Frederic Stanley “Rick” Mishkin is Jewish and has worked for the evil World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, and International Monetary Fund. Governors Jerome H. Powell and Daniel Tarullo appear not to be Jewish, both have connections to Georgetown University.  Tarullo was also a member of  the evil Council of Foreign Relations and Center for American Progress.  Powell is a member of the evil Carlyle Group and The Nature Conservancy.

Facts: Former Fed Reserve vice chairman Donald L. Kohn, and former governor Randall S. Kroszner are Jewish.

Fact: When the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank was created in 1913, as a privately held operation, the Ashkenazi Jewish (in the 12th-13th centuries Gregorian time elite Ashkenazi became government backed moneylenders) founded and controlled Rothschilds of London (N M Rothschild & Sons Limited) somehow gained an estimated 57% control of the new U.S. Central Bank.

Now, almost as a counter to this Jewish domination of western crony capitalism, Adolph Hitler’s 1925 best seller Mein Kampf is a best seller again, this time through iTunes and Amazon e-books!

Read what Hitler wrote about Jews in the 1920s, think about the current zionist state of Israel, the World banking/stock exchange system, the control of western government by Israeli political lobbies, and even the nuclear destruction (?) of Japan by Jewish intrigue.  Read and contemplate Hilter’s warnings: (from the Hurst and Blackett edition) ….the Jewish State….has absolutely no territorial boundaries……the Jewish intellect will never be constructive but always destructive……the Jew does not ever think of leaving a territory which he has once occupied…..the Jew has at all times lived in States that have belonged to other races….hidden behind the mask of a ‘religious community’…..the Founder of Christianity made no secret indeed of His estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God; because then, as always, they used religion as a means of advancing their commercial interests. But at that time Christ was nailed to the Cross for his attitude towards the Jews; whereas our modern Christians enter into party politics and when elections are being held they debase themselves to beg for Jewish votes. They even enter into political intrigues with the atheistic Jewish parties against the interests of their own Christian nation…..this first and fundamental lie, the purpose of which is to make people believe that Jewry is not a nation but a religion….the Jew gained an increasing influence in all economic undertakings by means of his predominance in the stock-exchange. If not the ownership, at least he secured control of the working power of the nation……By means of the Press he began gradually to control public life in its entirety…….under the name of ‘public opinion’….(from Volume 1, Chapter 11)…They created the economic weapon which the international Jew uses for the purpose of destroying the economic foundations of free and independent national States, for ruining their national industry and trade and thereby enslaving free nations to serve Jewish world-finance, which transcends all State boundaries.(from Volume 2, Chapter 12)…the transference of our productive forces to the control of Jewish international finance…commanded by international and Jewish stock-exchange capital…Hence it is that at the present time the Jew is the great agitator…the Jew is always the instigator. In peace-time, as well as during the War, the Jewish-Marxist stock-exchange Press systematically stirred up hatred…until one State after another abandoned its neutrality and placed itself at the service of the world coalition, even against the real interests of its own people….Jews control the financial forces of America on the stock exchange……He does not want to see a national Japanese State in existence when he founds his millennial empire of the future, and therefore he wants to destroy it before establishing his own dictatorship…(from Volume 2, Chapter 13)

Nazi is the incorrect term for the NSDAP (National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei), the word Nazi is considered to be an evolution of Southern German derogatory terms used against people you don’t like. It is interesting how it sounds like Ashke-Nazi, which might explain why some conspiracy theorists think elite Jews actually created the ‘Nazi Party’.

4-methylcyclohexane methanol poisons water supply in United States! Time to throw away those air fresheners!

13 January 2014 (17:32 UTC-07 Tango 12 January 2013)/11 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/23 Dey 1392/13 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

At least 7500 U.S. gallons of toxic chemicals, mainly 4-methylcyclohexane methanol, has shutdown the Elk River water supply for 300-thousand+ people in West Virginia.

The chemicals (aka Crude MGHM) are used in coal mining.  The West Virginia National Guard has been tasked with supplying clean water to the residents of at least nine counties.  FEMA is also involved.

The National Guard has also been testing river water every hour.

From day one of the incident Freedom Industries and West Virginia American Water Company has been secretive about what exactly was spilled, and by how much.

The Charleston Gazette discovered that state officials knew at least one year before the incident that Freedom Industries was storing the chemicals near the Elk River.  The U.S. coal industry has been in crash mode, closing down several mines and laying off thousands of employees in the past couple of years.  They had to have somewhere to store their chemicals.

People have been complaining of headaches and skin rashes.  Officials claim the chemicals evaporate quickly.  Officials say if you smell the chemical get to fresh air, but wait, many air fresheners that so many people seem to like are made using the cyclohexane component of 4-methylcyclohexane methanol!

At least nine Afghans were wounded.  Mujahideen say that 16 military vehicles were damaged or destroyed in the attack.  In Kabul City, police say the crime rate has skyrocketed under U.S. occupation.  Police held a press conference to report a record 100 kidnapping, robberies and murder cases in the past month.  More than 200 people have been arrested.  The cops blame it on people from other parts of Afghanistan flooding into the U.S. occupied capital city to look for jobs.  And what was that about Afghan women being oppressed?  Female politician, Human Sultani, publicly bitch slapped a male cop in front of the Pakistani Embassy! Reports say there is video of the incident.  Back to Camp Phoenix, the Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 294th Infantry Regiment, from the U.S. territory of Guam, gave away more than 120 pairs of boots to the Afghan National Army!  Don’t those Guam guys know that U.S. taxpayers are already giving the ANA billions in cash and material?

Virus hitting hundreds of children in the United States, no it’s not the Flu! Hospitals telling kids to Keep Out! Keep kids out of school!

11 January 2014 (10:22 UTC-07 Tango)/09 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1435/21 Dey 1392/11 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

The Arizona Department of Health Services reports 164 cases of  RSV so far this season.  32 of those cases showed up this past week. More than 80% of the cases involve children under the age of five.

Hospital officials in the city of Phoenix are telling kids to stay away from the hospital: “Any kids less than 12, we don’t like them coming to the hospital because they obviously are at a higher risk of carrying those infections and passing them on.”-Wassim Ballan, Phoenix Children’s Hospital

In Houston, Texas, an outbreak of RSV has sent hundreds of children to the hospital since the beginning of the 2013/14 flu season.  Just one hospital, Children’s Memorial Hermann, reports that since October they’ve admitted more than 140 children for the viral infection.

RSV is not the flu, but it might just be what most people have called the common cold.  The ‘season’ for human Respiratory Syncytial Virus just happens to be the same ‘season’ as for influenza.

Texas Department of State Health Services is reporting a 45% increase in RSV cases in December 2013, compared to December 2012.  By the end of December 2013 there were 600 confirmed cases of RSV in Texas.  State officials admitted they do not track deaths, but also said they haven’t heard of any, yet.

RSV hits children hardest. There is no vaccine, and treatment is limited to trying to help the patient breath and observation.

In New Jersey, by the end of December 2013 there were more confirmed RSV cases than confirmed influenza cases.  120 RSV versus 16 flu (of course that might have changed by now).

A study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases says grade schools are the main source of RSV infections.  The study was done in a rural area of Kenya, on the continent of Africa.  It concluded that “…for a high proportion of infant RSV infections, the source is from within the household and predominantly introduced by an elder school-going sibling…”-Wellcome Trust Research Program study

RSV also affects adults.  Another study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases says some transplant patients are at risk of getting RSV.  It involves hematopoietic cell transplant and lymphopenia: “This study identified a protective lymphocyte count level (more than 1,000/mm3), which might suggest that patients who acquire RSV during the first 100 days after transplantation do not require treatment if they have good lymphocyte counts. On the other hand, patients with the risk factors identified in this study may be good candidates for early antiviral treatment.”-Michael Boeckh, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Vaccine and Infectious Disease Research Center

A study by the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation concluded that even though RSV is currently considered to mainly target children, older people are targeted as well, which challenges current beliefs that by the time most people become adults they’ve become immune to RSV.  At least 10% of hospitalizations of people 65 years of age, or older, for pneumonia is actually caused by RSV: “Knowing that adults’ susceptibility to RSV increases as they age is important for health care providers and public health officials to note as they treat and monitor respiratory illnesses this season.”-Edward Belongia, Director of the Epidemiology Research Center at Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation

A troubling study involving mice suggests that getting sick with RSV as a child, and infected again as an adult is not a good thing.  The study was published in the Journal of Virology, it basically says your immune system has a short term memory regarding its encounter with RSV when you were a kid.  This immune system memory is called Innate Immune Pathogenic Recall Response: “Infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in neonatal mice leads to exacerbated disease if mice are reinfected with the same virus as adults……….These findings indicate a hitherto unappreciated role for the innate immune response in governing the pathogenic recall responses to RSV infection.”-Delayed Sequelae of Neonatal Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection Are Dependent on Cells of the Innate Immune System

The above study would also suggest that if a vaccine was made it would be of short term benefit only.
