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

Alaska: Anchorage School District eliminating 225 jobs due to state budget problems caused by the oil industry BS.

Alabama: God’s Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School warning of shutdown due to funding problems caused by The Rapture, I mean declining enrollments.

California: God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ 66 years old Saint John’s Episcopal School, due to The Rapture, I mean Disappearing Students Syndrome.

Delaware:  Colonial School District eliminating 134 jobs due to state taxpayer funding cuts!

Florida:  University of Miami Hospital is shifting focus to outpatient care and will eliminate jobs as a result.  In Tallahassee, after only nine years Imagine School at Evening Rose shutdown due to many factors, including what I call DSS.  In Hillsborough County a part-time high school teacher charged with leaving his own two children home alone for more than 24 hours.  The situation was discovered by police who responded to a ‘panic alarm’ tripped by the nine years old.  The part time high school teacher said he was attending a meeting relating to his second job.

Illinois: Northeastern Illinois University laid off 180 people due to state budget impasse!

Kentucky: Jefferson County Public Schools eliminating 142 jobs!  Administrators revealed that most of the jobs were ‘make work’ jobs created by taxpayer funded grants, in other words the number of students don’t justify all the employees and since the grants are ending so are the jobs.

 Louisiana: Livingston Parish warning that it might not be able to rebuild three schools damaged during the August 2016 natural disaster.  The problem is that the school district was already struggling with crashing enrollments, the August flooding might be the straw that breaks their back.   In New Orleans, after 53 years the Maple Street Book Shop shutdown, for the second time saying “We’re not sure what we’ll do next, but we’ll always keep fighting the stupids. We hope that you will too.”

Maryland: Baltimore City Public Schools proposing to eliminate 3-hundred jobs, instead of their original 1-thousand proposed layoffs! Despite additional taxpayer funding the school district is still short $30-million USD.

Massachusetts: The Brockton School Department notified 344 people of layoffs due to the way politicians changed the taxpayer funding formula for schools: “This is very troubling, the worst I’ve ever seen it!”-Aldo Petronio, Brockton budget chief

Missouri:   Saint Louis University School of Medicine suddenly eliminated 21 jobs by shutting down its Center for World Health and Medicine, due to a budget deficit of $16-million USD.  Lincoln University eliminating 48 jobs and reducing pay for everybody else, due to a $3.8-million USD deficit.  University of Columbia-Missouri eliminating 4-hundred jobs due to continuing enrollment crash!

Nebraska: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Creighton University from laying off 60 people.  Administrators blamed competition with other universities for The Rapture of students.   Anybody who’s been following my Dumbing Down reports knows that’s a bogus reason because most U.S. universities are dealing with crashing enrollments.

New Jersey: Ten school districts warning of mass layoffs for the 2017-18 school year, for lack of taxpayer funding. Paterson School District notified 85 people of layoffs. Camden School District eliminating 121 jobs due to economic and job performance problems!  Lakewood High School laid off 140 people, blaming taxpayer funding problems!  Penns Grove eliminating 53 jobs by outsourcing them to a cheapo contractor.

New Mexico: For-profit Santa Fe University of Art and Design shutting down in Spring 2018, due to crashing enrollments and a failed attempt to sell the university to a Singapore company.

New York: God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ 133 years old Immaculate Conception School saying “Enrollment is at a historic low and the increased financial strain on both the school and parish is insurmountable.”  Mill Neck Manor Early Childhood Center issued a shutdown WARN for its school for the deaf, 34 jobs gone in August.

North Carolina: Warren Wilson College eliminating 30 jobs and reducing work hours for some remaining positions.  It was revealed that last year employees had their pay reduced.  It’s blamed on crashing enrollment and skyrocketing operating costs.

Ohio: Wright State University eliminating 70 jobs and closing 1-hundred vacant positions in an effort to reduce costs.

Pennsylvania: God powerless to stop the consolidation of ‘his’ North Hills Catholic schools, which will result in at least 36 teachers becoming unemployed. 

Puerto Rico: 184 taxpayer funded schools shutting down due to the ongoing insolvency, more than 3-thousand jobs lost and 27-thousand students affected!

Rhode Island: Warwick Public Schools laying off 31 teachers in June as the school district does not foresee getting the necessary local taxpayer funding.

Texas: In El Paso, god powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ 60 years old Our Lady of Assumption school: “Those associated with the school have been aware of the decline in enrollment the school has experienced in recent years, going from 134 in the 2012-13 school year to the present 83. There simply are not as many children in that part of the city as there once was.”-Bishop Mark J. Seitz

Virginia:  In Lynchburg, god powerless to stop the sudden shutdown of ‘his’ almost 60 years old Quaker Memorial Preschool due to The Rapture, I mean DSS.

Wyoming: University of Wyoming suddenly eliminated 37 jobs as part of a plan that includes freezing 3-hundred vacant positions and offering employees buyouts (bribes to voluntarily quit).

Obama Legacy: Illinois now an “exceptional” failed state, blame ObamaCare!

21 JUN 2017 (10:36 UTC-07 Tango 06) 31 Khordad 1396/26 Ramadan 1438/27 Bing Wu 4715

“As Illinois’ Chief Fiscal and Accountability Officer, my Office is responsible for managing the state’s financial accounts as well as providing the public and the state’s elected leadership with objective and timely data concerning the state’s difficult fiscal condition. As you are quite aware, I have been very vocal regarding these issues and the budgetary impasse since assuming office six months ago; however we are now reaching a new phase of crisis.

 

Accordingly, I must communicate to you at this time the full extent of our dire fiscal straits and the potential disruptions that we face in addressing even our most critical core responsibilities going forward into the new fiscal year.  My Office has very serious concerns that, in the coming weeks, the State of Illinois will no longer be able to guarantee timely and predictable payments in a number of areas that we have to date managed (albeit with extreme difficulty) despite an unpaid bill backlog in excess of $15 billion and growing rapidly.

 

We are effectively hemorrhaging money as the state’s spending obligations have exceeded receipts by an average of over $600 million per month over the past year.

 

My cause for alarm is rooted in the increasing deficit spending combined with new and ongoing cash management demands stemming from decisions from state and federal courts, the latest being the class action lawsuit filed by advocates representing the Medicaid service population served by the state’s Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). As of June 15, the MCOs, and their provider networks, are owed a total of more than $2.8 billion in overdue bills at the Comptroller’s Office. There is no question that these obligations should be paid in a more timely manner and that the payment delays caused by the state’s financial condition negatively impact the state’s healthcare infrastructure. We are currently in court directed discussions to reach a workable and responsive payment schedule going forward, but any acceleration of the timing of those payments under the current circumstances will almost certainly affect the scheduling of other payments, regardless of other competing court orders and Illinois statutory mandates.

 

For the record, however, and as a message to the financial markets, please know that debt service payments will not be delayed or diminished going forward and I will use every statutory avenue or available resource to meet that commitment. It is a necessary pledge in order to attempt to avoid further damage to our already stressed credit ratings and to make possible the additional debt financing that we all know will be required to achieve some measure of stability going forward.

Ultimately it is the only way that we can preserve what remains of our ability to provide vital services to our state’s most at risk populations.

 

Currently, more than 90 percent of Illinois’ monthly spending is directed toward core functions of state government mandated by court orders, consent decrees, or state law including continuing appropriations. These include certain Medicaid programs, debt service, payroll, K-12 General State Aid and state pension contributions. With the inevitable cash management impact related to the outcome of the MCO lawsuit, this Office will soon be facing the prospect of deciding which court order or statutory mandate the state can accommodate. I hope we can all agree that this is more than an unprecedented situation; it is simply unacceptable.  

 

Even absent pressure from additional court orders, we still foresee unmanageable financial strains, beginning in July, that will severely limit any payments in core areas not under court mandate or consent decree that provide essential services to the state’s most vulnerable individuals, including but not limited to, long-term care, hospice, and community care and supportive living centers serving the senior community, and ambulatory and other critical medical supplies for the poor and disabled.        

 

In large part, through careful cash management and effective stewardship of the state’s General Revenue Fund, our Office has made every effort to triage this crisis in a way that has prioritized and enabled some hardship payments to the state’s most vulnerable citizens and the programs that serve them while still meeting core obligations. That ability will eventually cease.  

 

It is critical that the state’s fiscal situation be addressed immediately before the cash shortages this summer cause further deterioration. I am available to discuss this situation, and possible remedies, with you personally, as a group in a leaders meeting or individually at your earliest convenience.

 

In the meantime, I will be meeting and communicating with other public stakeholder groups to share these same warnings.

 

My closing message is simple: The state can no longer function without a responsible and complete budget without severely impacting our core obligations and decimating services to the state’s most in need citizens. We must put our fiscal house in order. It is already too late. Action is needed now.

 

I eagerly await your response as to next steps for furthering this discussion.”-Susana A. Mendoza, State of Illinois Comptroller, letter posted on the internet 20 JUN 2017

Canadian General Fortin returned home to the British empire’s (Commonwealth) Canada after a two year stint as Deputy Commanding General for Operations with the United State Army’s I-Corps (pronounced eye-core).  He revealed that since 2008 Canadian officers have been working inside I-Corps, in command positions.

Record number of U.S. & U.K. citizens defect to Germany! What do you know, Deutschland!

13 JUN 2017 (14:09 UTC-07 Tango 06) 23 Khordad 1396/18 Ramadan 1438/19 Bing Wu 4715

During the Cold War when a person moves to another country and becomes a citizen of that country it was called defecting.

According to the Statistisches Bundesamt of Deutschland (Federal Statistical Office of Germany) the number of United States citizens now claiming German citizenship increased by 33% between 2009 and 2015.  Don’t blame Donald Trump, those are the years when Barack Obama was president.

This chart shows that the great emigration of U.S. citizens skyrocketed after Obama became president.

Interestingly, the liberal left bureaucrats controlling Germany officially don’t understand the big jump in ‘Mericans calling Deutschland home, telling local German news media that “..we don’t have any data for the motivation” because they didn’t consider the Obama years as having any political reforms that would drive ‘Mericans away.  However, a news source called The Local interviewed a family from Texas who straight up said “We are happy here, our kids’ educational opportunities are better than they would be in the places where we would move back to, Texas or Georgia… and health care.“  ObamaCare anybody?  Doesn’t that count as a political/legal reform?

Another interesting fact is that 79% of U.S. citizens who get German citizenship aren’t even living in Germany.  Basically they’re former German citizens who want to move back to the Fatherland!

55% of U.S. citizens who became German citizens had to renounce U.S. citizenship, 45% were able to have dual citizenship.  The amount of men versus women moving to Germany is almost even, with the majority being 45 years of age or older.

But wait, there’s more!  In 2016, the British empire country of United Kingdom experienced a record breaking jump in defectors, by 361%!  It’s being blamed on the vote to leave the European Union.  However, the biggest group of people becoming German citizens still come from Turkey!

But native born Germans are fleeing as well.  At the end of 2016, the Gatestone Institute reported that in the past ten years more than 1.5-million Deutsches Volk left their Fatherland, 138-thousand just in 2015!  The reason is the never ending ‘refugee’ crisis, which is resulting in record crimes by migrants.  I’ve already written about ‘make work’ jobs being created for migrants at taxpayer expense.

Another reason for Germans getting the hell outta Dodge is religion. Even though Christianity was forced upon Germanic people, most Germans consider Christianity a European, even German, cultural identity.  With the False Flag war refugees Germany now has the biggest Islamic population in Europe, closely followed by France.

Ironically some German citizens have become illegal immigrants right here in the United States, ranked as number four in 2015 (but note that British empire Canadians are number one for overstaying their visas).

It must be noted that the boom in international immigration, from one country to another, is being led by native born citizens who are tired of non-native peoples flooding into their country, or being driven out by foreign created False Flag wars of liberation, thus creating a downward spiral (upward spiral?) of international emigration & immigration.  It’s happening everywhere!  When all is said and done, the number one reasons for this global immigration is about jobs, economics and conniving governments working for elitist corporations. 

Maybe the NSDAP was right after all? German workers unite!

“…..we were done!”: Dumbing Down the U.S. of A., April 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, April 2017:

California:  San Diego Unified School District sent out 2-hundred layoff notices, in addition to earlier layoff announcements!  The district is short $124-million USD in taxpayer funding!  God powerless to stop ‘his’ elementary and secondary school services op Roman Catholic Welfare Corporation from halting operations at three locations, 126 jobs gone by June!

Connecticut: In New Haven, school for students who don’t fit in, Domus Academy shutting down in June due to state budget cuts.

Illinois: Lutherbrook Child and Adolescent Center shutting down, 84 jobs lost, no reason given.

Indiana:  Ivy Tech Community College suddenly laid off 12 people, blaming what I call DSS and a taxpayer funding shortfall of $2.6-million.  God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Joseph’s College from renouncing its accreditation, suspending campus activities and eliminating 416 jobs in June! Administrators said they hope to be re-accredited once they get some money to operate the school. Purdue University Northwest shutting down its Charlotte R. Riley Child Center by the end of June, blaming “…recent year….decreased enrollment…..along with escalating costs of providing high quality child care…”

 Louisiana: Pinko commie leaders of New Orleans officially denying the history of the United States by beginning the process of removing four Civil War statues.  “The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”-George Orwell (aka Eric Arthur Blair)

Maryland: Baltimore City Schools warning that even with city and state taxpayer funding increases as many as 1-thousand people will become unemployed!  Administrators say it’s because only now are the previous year’s budget cuts impacting employment, the new funding increases are not enough to stop the bloodletting.

Massachusetts: University of Massachusetts Medical School eliminating 65 jobs due to lack of money.

Michigan: After only five years Grand Rapids Ellington Academy of Arts and Technology shutdown due to what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome.  Kenowa Hills Public Schools eliminating 20 jobs due to lack of $1.6-million in taxpayer funding caused in-part by crashing enrollment.  Horizon Books shutdown its Petoskey location because the company owner wants to retire, and nobody wanted to take over the operation (due to crashing sales).

Minnesota: Minneapolis Public Schools warning of “hundreds” of layoffs due to the budget being $28-million USD short!

Missouri: University of Missouri eliminating 20 jobs in July, due to both crashing enrollments and taxpayer funding.  After 137 years Wentworth Military Academy shutdown due to DSS and escalating operating costs.

New Jersey: Bayonne School District eliminating 3-hundred jobs due to being $6-million short!  Local taxpayers are pissed because last year school funding was boosted by a 3.95% tax increase!  Known for Home of the Friars basketball, god powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Anthony High School from shutting down due to The Rapture (not enough students or money: “Our seats had not gotten warm and we were done!”-Bob Hurley, basketball coach

New Mexico: Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) eliminating teaching jobs covertly by increasing class size and cutting department budgets by 10% and by requiring high school teachers to teach more classes. Also, APS is reducing the number of ‘contract days’.  Administrators say they’re just getting ready for state taxpayer funding cuts. Santa Fe Public Schools warning it could be forced to shutdown two elementary schools due to expected state taxpayer funding cuts.

New York: In Wallkill, school bus contractor First Student lost two contracts, 238 jobs gone by June!  In Bronx-NYC, Montauk Student Transport eliminating 116 jobs in September due to loss of contract!  In Brooklyn-NYC, Otsar Early Childhood Center shutting down, 61 jobs gone by the end of June.  God powerless to stop Catholic Charities from shutting down its Fidelis Parenting/Fatherhood Program by July.   In Ronkonkoma, Community Program Centers shutting down its Early Discoveries Center Childcare program, at least 33 jobs gone by the end of June.

North Carolina: War of budgets as state lawmakers force schools to reduce class sizes, and schools say they don’t have the money to hire the extra teachers.  Lawmakers called bull-shit on that and claim that next year’s state budget for schools includes money to hire new teachers.  School administrators call bull-shit on that saying the increase in state funding barely makes up for previous year’s cutbacks.

Ohio: Wright State University warning 170 employees of layoffs in an effort to save $35-million, never mind that they admitted they over-spent $40-million!  North Royalton School District are threatening 23 job cuts if cash-strapped taxpayers don’t vote to approve yet another levy.  In Columbus, Half Price Books shutdown its store on North High Street.  Apparently it’s the third Half Price Books to recently shutdown.

Oregon: Rogue Community College jacked-up tuition and warned of about 20 layoffs due to state ‘lawmakers’ reducing taxpayer funding for next year by about $5.2-million.  Students are not happy.

Pennsylvania:  Mark DiRocco, executive director of the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators, stated “Many districts have still not recovered from the Great Recession.”  Remember, Barack Obama declared The Great Recession over in 2013!

Education Management shutting down in Pittsburgh, 75 jobs lost by the end of August.  DuBois Area School Board shutting down three elementary schools due to not enough students and not enough money.   God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Bartholomew School from shutting down.  It’s blamed on The Rapture, I mean crashing enrollment, and skyrocketing debts incurred to operate the school.  California, Cheyney, Clarion, and Edinboro universities all say they must eliminate jobs and cut programs due to long term taxpayer funding cuts.  Now obviously corrupt Quakertown warning of two school shutdowns and 50 teacher layoffs due to lacking $4.8-million in funding, despite 30 straight years of tax increases for cash-strapped local taxpayers (who are really pissed-off right now)! 

Virginia: Central Virginia Training Center  laying off 14 people in the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services in May.
