Operation Dark Store shifts tax burden to cash strapped individuals!: U.S. Government Shenanigans, May 2017

Incomplete list of U.S. Federal/State/Local Government self-destruct announcements for May 2017:

Alabama: Taxpayers in the city of Oxford forced to pay for the former Sears building at the Quintard Mall.  The mayor of Oxford recently announced that in an effort to save the local economy they’re willing to buy the property, which has been up for sale since November 2016.

Delaware: After promising a Spring 2016 grand opening (which never happened) the Delaware Sports Complex is already bankrupt busted, it even owes the taxpayers of Middletown $195-thousand USD for building necessary infrastructure for the failed $13-million project.  Middletown Mayor Kenneth Branner basically called the administrators of Delaware Sports Complex a bunch of liars: “We don’t know what to do, we don’t know what our next steps are… ….We were led to believe they had the money they needed. They told us they were scheduling tournaments and kept saying they could do it.”

Illinois: Star Center Mall now chapter 11 bankrupt busted and it’s blamed on “the City of Marion regarding disputed bonds.”

Minnesota:  Local news media reporting that the taxpayers of Minneapolis are about to become the new ‘landlord’ of the Kmart on Nicolette Avenue.  It’s being blamed on the ‘re-connect’ scandal.  The $7-million USD proposal will be discussed in June.  Local news media also revealed the city made an $8-million offer to buy the Kmart on West Lake Street, last year.

Mississippi: The state Forestry Commission laid off 75 people due to declining tax revenues.

North Carolina: Management consultant contractor CGI Federal shutting down its Durham InfoTech ops due to losing a federal taxpayer funded EPA contract, 1-hundred jobs lost!  Surry County condemned the now vacant Kmart building at the Mayberry Mall.  The condemnation prevents the property owner from finding a new tenant, until the structural problems are fixed.  On top of that, local news media report the property owner is back due on county level property taxes.  The action by the county opens the door for use of taxpayer funding to deal with the problem.  Alamac American Knits shutting down in Lumberton, 154 remaining jobs gone due to the long term effects of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement)!  Administrators stated that before NAFTA went into effect they “…employed 1,000.” 

Oregon: SureID suddenly laid off 160 people after losing a tax-sucking U.S. Navy contract!

Puerto Rico: The governor is demanding Title-3 bankruptcy protection for the U.S. territory.

Texas:  Taxpayers in the city of Abilene might be forced to pay for the abandoned Kmart as “…funds would be used to acquire, renovate and equip buildings for a new police station, municipal court, water utilities billing, collection and meter-reading offices, and record storage. The cost is estimated at $9 million.”   The combination donation-taxpayer funded Houston Symphony announced an undisclosed number of layoffs in an attempt to survive the next ten years.  Taxpayer funded illegal immigrant ‘shelter provider’ Southwest Key Programs suddenly laid off hundreds of employees “Due to the low number of unaccompanied children crossing our national border, the federal government has instructed all of its shelter contractors, including Southwest Key, that they must decrease the bed capacity…..”

The office of the Texas Comptroller issued a warning over the growing push by big box retailers to use Dark Stores as a way of avoiding their fare share in taxes.  Dark Store: A large retail facility that resembles a conventional supermarket or store but is not open to the public, housing goods used to fulfill orders placed online.

Virginia:  British empire owned, U.S. tax-sucker BAE Systems suddenly began laying off 3-hundred people in Norfolk, due to uncertainties over the new U.S. Navy taxpayer funded budget!

Wisconsin: The 50+ years old Brookfield Sears Auto Center shutdown, local news media revealed that Brookfield city administrators spent taxpayer money on a five years study to justify creating a taxpayer owned conference center near the Sears Auto Center location.   The Economic Development Commission of Fort Atkinson has revealed plans to spend taxpayer money on the now vacant Kmart property.  Local news media reported the city Fort Atkinson asked Sears Holdings how much they wanted to sell it for!  It’s been revealed that nearly 40 cities are pushing for a new state law that will prevent taxpayers from being forced to pay the property taxes on vacated stores like Target and Sears.  It’s a complicated mess, but because of current laws and recent court decisions local Wisconsin taxpayers are being forced to foot the property tax bill on vacated retail spaces!  This has led to municipalities using taxpayer funding to sue retailers (most recently Target and Sears) for creating what’s called Dark Stores.

1st Quarter 2017 U.S. Christian Rapture: “A MASSIVE APOSTASY”

“And Yeshua entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. And he said to them, It is written: ‘My house will be called the House of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers.’ “-Matthew 21:12-13 Aramaic Bible

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.-1st Amendment, U.S. Constitution

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance (or even be counted as unemployed): “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment.

God is Evil: Christian Hobby Lobby supports Islamic State?

Video

06 JUL 2017 / 18:40 UTC-07 Tango 06 (16 Tir 1396/12 Shawwal 1438/14 Ding Wei 4715)

Christian Evangelical Hobby Lobby illegally imported more than 5-thousand artifacts from The Middle East.  The top illegal/stolen artifact dealer in The Middle East is Islamic State, aka DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]).  Hobby Lobby says most of those illegally acquired artifacts were meant to be displayed in their massive Biblical Museum in Washington DC.

An antiquities expert went on liberal-left-leaning PBS Newshour and not only accused Hobby Lobby of knowingly buying illegally acquired antiques, but accused them of money laundering tactics as well:  “First, Hobby Lobby is a sophisticated importer and they know very well that you have to designate the country of origin, and the appropriate tariff line when bringing these into the country. This was not done…..instead of being declared as antiquities were declared as ‘clay tiles’ or ‘samples’. They were not noted as coming from Iraq, but instead that they were coming from Turkey…..   …..they’re coming from a part of the world where….antiquities are being actually excavated by groups like DAIISH or ISIS, and knowingly being exported and used as a means of funding for terrorism.

What they [Hobby Lobby] actually did was pay five individuals through seven different accounts…then shipped these [artifacts]….to several different locations in the United States and without the appropriate, or accurate, shipping records.”-Deborah Lehr, The Antiquities Coalition

Bush (CVN 77) was sent to Israel “to enhance U.S.-Israel relations as the two nations reaffirm their continued commitment to the collective security of the European and Middle East Regions.”  (note that Israel is considered a defender of Europe, after decades of denying that it is actually a European colony)

“…you have a storm warning.”: Dumbing Down the U.S. of A., June 2017

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 related layoffs & school shutdowns, June 2017:

Arkansas: God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’  Ambassadors for Christ Academy in Bentonville.  Local news media said no official reason was made public, but that enrollment at the K thru 12 school had crashed from hundreds of students to just 95 students!  (The Rapture anybody?)

California:  Job killing Los Angeles School District about to kill-off an additional 120+ jobs! Plus 180 positions would be ‘reassigned’ and almost everybody will get reduced pay.  It’s blamed on what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome.

Florida: After 99 years Jones College suddenly shutdown due to “loss of ACICS accreditation”.  The pinko commie leaders of Orlando denied factual U.S. history by tearing down a Civil War statue called Johnny Reb.

Illinois: City Colleges eliminating 120 jobs due to the fact that Illinois is a true Failed State!  God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ 55 years old sexist ‘girls only’ Queen of Peace High School in Burbank.

Kansas: The after school service known as Labette County Boys and Girls Club shutting down: “Unfortunately, we must cease our operations. Recent changes in the Boys & Girls Clubs of America have made it impossible for us to gain the charter we have been working diligently toward for the last several years.”

Maryland: Baltimore City Public Schools notified 115 people they will soon be unemployed!  Barnes & Nobel bookseller shutdown its store in Towson.

Massachusetts: The mayor of Leominster wants to cut next year’s estimated school funding by $5.6-million USD, which of course means mass layoffs.  God powerless to stop ‘his’ 66 years old Saint Anthony School from total shutdown due to The Rapture: “The numbers of enrolled students simply cannot support the financial responsibilities that would be necessary to operate and provide a quality education…”-Reverend Leo-Paul LeBlanc

Minnesota: Saint Paul Public Schools eliminating 11 jobs due to what I call DSS which leads to crashing taxpayer funding.  After 27 years St. Croix Antiquarian Booksellers shutting down in July, so the owner can retire: “It helped me put six kids through college.  But it’s a tough business, especially in this day and age.”-Gary Goodman

Nebraska: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Boys Town based Boys Town from shutting down after-school ops in the states of California, New York and Texas: “California, New York and Texas are attempting to reform their child welfare system and are doing so in ways that makes it difficult to provide quality, family-style care of the type Boys Town has built a long history of providing.”

New York: The number of 8th graders failing the Common Core math test went from 14-thousand in 2012 to 44-thousand-483 with the most recent results! David Rubel, education consultant, sounded an alarm saying “I think you have a storm warning.”  However, Bob Schaeffer of FairTest pointed out that “Cutoff scores have been manipulated to produce politically desirable results in many jurisdictions.”   Stepping Stones Learning Center suddenly shutdown, affecting 5-hundred families!  The Empire State says the child care center violated numerous state regulations, plus the company that operates it is financially broke.  God powerless to stop ‘his’ Nebraska based Boys Town from shutting down six Father Flanagan’s Boys Homes, 92 jobs gone by September.  God powerless to stop ‘his’ College of New Rochelle from suddenly laying off 32 people, in an attempt “to achieve financial stability.”  God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ Saint Joseph’s School in Kingston due to The Rapture, I mean DSS: “St. Joseph’s has seen a decline in enrollment in recent years which has presented considerable operational challenges to maintaining the school.”-Archdiocese Superintendent of Schools Timothy McNiff

Ohio: Akron Board of Education will shutdown three schools, eliminating 93 jobs in an attempt to be “fiscally responsible”.   Wright State University eliminating 52 jobs as part of efforts to reduce the budget by $31-million.

Oregon: The Roseburg Library shutdown on the last day of May. Nearly all of Douglas County’s libraries now closed due to cash strapped taxpayers rejecting yet another tax-levy to fund the library system.

Pennsylvania:  After 15 years Black and Nobel shutting down due to lack of sales, the owner is trying to crowd-source $250-thousand USD to keep the bookstore open.  Philadelphia Schools threatening to eliminate 3-thousand-8-hundred jobs, unless taxpayers are willing to pay an additional 16% tax on top of what they already pay!  Isn’t that blackmail?  That which cannot be named powerless to stop ‘its’ seven years old National Museum of American Jewish History from suddenly laying off 18 people.  Vacant positions will not be filled, expected pay raises have been cancelled and some employees will have their pay reduced due to crashing attendance and memberships.

Texas: The San Antonio Museum of Art suddenly laid off 11 people, blaming it on unexpected building repairs.   It was revealed that Austin based for-profit electronic-education company Civitas Learning suddenly laid off 10% of its employees, back in May!

Virginia: Privately run living history museum Colonial Williamsburg continues to kill jobs, this time 71 people will become unemployed and 262 positions will be outsourced!   God powerless to stop ‘his’ 45 years old Alliance Christian Academy from sudden shutdown: “The reality is that the church is defining its mission and strategy for the future. Moving forward, the church is simply going to be focusing on its role as a church and not staffing and supporting a school.”-Glenn Reynolds, attorney

Dumbing Down May 2017: “This is very troubling, the worst I’ve ever seen it!”

Idaho, U.S.

1st ever U.S. PanzerFräulein killed by mystery fire!

“I just couldn’t believe it…..there was just nothing anybody could do. There was one man [William Smith] that had run out of the house, along with a neighbor who had been trying to help him, and they were just completely, you know, hysterical.”-Mark Conley, witness

In June of 2016, Erin Smith became not only Idaho National Guard’s first ever M1 tanker (MOS 19K), but the first ever female tanker in U.S. history!  One year later (30 JUN 2017) Master Sergeant Erin Smith, along with her daughter, and two other people, died in a house fire at the Tamarack Resort in Valley County, Idaho.

The resort ‘cabin’ was being used by three National Guard personnel;  James Harper the Third, Erin Smith and her husband William Smith.  James Harper brought his son and the Smith’s brought their daughter on pre-4th of July weekend vacation.

Investigators say the house was fully engulfed when firefighters arrived, they suspect a propane (aka Tricarbane, a type of LNG) fueled fireplace is the origin of the blaze.  William Smith was the only one to survive.
