“With it ends a 70-year geopolitical era of Pax Americana.”-Top Risks 2017: The Geopolitical Recession

The New York City based political policy think-tank known as Eurasia Group has declared the U.S. the biggest threat to the World in 2017, all because of Donald Trump!

However, the control freaks at Eurasia Group don’t think the threat to the World will be an overly aggressive President Trump, but that Trump will pull back from “…America’s responsibility to play an indispensable role in world affairs.”  In other words, the paranoids at Eurasia Group believe the U.S. must continue playing World Cop for other countries who refuse to police themselves!

Police Cause Gun Violence: Majority of people killed by cops are White Men!

03 January 2017 (08:30 UTC-07 Tango 06) 14 Dey 1395/04 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1438/06 Ji Chou 4714

PBS Newshour reported that for Gregorian year 2016 a mere 64 U.S. law enforcement personnel were killed with guns, versus 951 civilians shot to death by cops.

The Washington Post reported that despite the main stream U.S. news media’s fixation on Black Lives Matter demonstrations the majority of people killed by police are ‘white’ men, 46% of death by cop shootings are ‘white’ males.  The Washington Post points out that the reason ‘black’ males killed by cops is a news maker is that ‘black’ men make up 6% of the U.S. population, yet they account for 34% of death by cop cases.

What’s really important, especially regarding 2nd Amendment military grade weapons ownership rights, is that 84% of civilians shot to death by cops were unarmed!

The Washington Post also reminds people that official government recorded murder by cop shootings are voluntarily reported, there is no law requiring law enforcers to reveal how many citizens they kill.

“uncertainty about future government funding” : ObamaCare Death Spiral, December 2016

It must be noted that I started documenting these ObamaCare/healthcare related shutdowns at the beginning of 2014. In that year I posted the reports biannually (every six months). In 2015 ObamaCare cutbacks ramped up and I posted quarterly (every three months). For the past 12 months of 2016 there have been so many ObamaCare cutbacks that I’ve posted a report every month!

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) more people in the United States die from opioid based drugs than from gunshot! And the majority of those opiod deaths are not from illegal drugs but from prescription drugs!

“This is a bomb dropped on us!” “I can’t take it anymore!” : Dumbing Down the U.S., December 2016

It must be noted that I started documenting these education shutdowns at the beginning of 2014, in that year I posted the reports biannually (every six months). In 2015 education cutbacks ramped up and I posted quarterly (every three months). For the past 12 months of 2016 there have been so many education cutbacks that I’ve posted a report every month!

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.

The Lamanite (Mormon word for Native Americans) Student Placement Program (aka Indian Student Placement Program) took Navajo children from their parents in Arizona and placed them with Mormon families in Utah.

Arkansas: Bentonville based, and United Church of Christ Sam Walton founded, Walmart decided to kill 7-thousand accounting jobs by the end of the year!

Florida: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Adventist Health System-Florida Hospital Medical Group from eliminating 67 positions by outsourcing (contracting out) the jobs. ‘Christian’ Agnostic Warren Buffett eliminated 72 jobs with his Berkshire Hathaway Concierge in Fort Lauderdale.   Baptist Health South Florida bribing employees to quit (voluntary buyouts) in order to free-up cash for investments into “growth areas”.

He promised $23-thousand for the Big Momma’s House project.  (UPDATE: TV station KPVI reported that after the initial report of a Muslim saving Big Momma’s House at least two more large donations were made, however, KPVI was careful not to mention the religious affiliation of the donors. JANUARY 2017 UPDATE: TV station KIFI reporting that Bingham Memorial Hospital made a significant donation and admitted they were motivated by the Muslim doctor’s donation.)

Cassia County Joint School District decided not to fight a ACLU lawsuit accusing it of discriminating against non-Mormon students.  Details of the settlement were not disclosed but the taxpayer funded Mormon dominated school district claims it will make changes to its official policies of favoring Mormon students.  What happened was a non-Mormon student wanted to run for student body president but was denied on the grounds of not having the required classes completed.  But it turns out the only candidate, a Mormon, also did not meet the requirements to campaign for president yet was allowed to run!  The Mormon dominated district was counting Mormon seminary as credit towards the class requirement.    School District 321, based in ‘Mormonsville’ Rexburg, has declared a teacher shortage emergency and is now hiring anybody who wants to teach, regardless of certification, starting pay $30-thousand (which is damn good for rural Idaho)!

In Nampa, Holly Lane Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center (owned by ‘christian’ for-profit Tennessee based Orianna Health Systems-Covenant Dove) continues to violate Medicare and Medicaid rules for patient safety.  State inspectors accuse Holly Lane of repeatedly putting patients in “immediate jeopardy”.   The Nampa nursing home has until January to get its act together or lose all federal funding.  Local news media interviewed former patients who say the mistreatment started years ago due to lack of employees.  One patient told a state inspector “If I have to piss and shit on myself, I would rather be dead!”

Kentucky:  University of Louisville claims ‘christian’ owned KentuckyOne Health owes $46-million USD in back due payments! In 2012, U of L contracted with Colorado based ‘christian’ KentuckyOne to manage its hospital and cancer treatment center.  Instead of making the U of L health care operations profitable KentuckyOne ended up eliminating more than 5-hundred jobs.  ‘Christian’ administrators of KentuckyOne countered by demanding to know what U of L is doing with the money it already got!

Louisiana: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Pius Child Development Center from shutting down sometime in 2017, claiming the church cannot afford to make needed repairs to the facility.

Minnesota: After 103 years God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ Crossroads College (International Christian Bible College), after the Fall Semester! ‘Christian’ administrators blame it on what I call Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS, it’s The Rapture eyes tells ya).

Missouri: God can’t stop ‘his’ Our Lady of Sorrows and Saint James schools from shutting down due to The Rapture (I mean massive DSS), local news reports say the Saint Louis Archdiocese has suffered a net loss of 12-thousand 5-hundred students over the past decade (that sounds like The Rapture numbers to me)!

Montana: In Billings, Saint Vincent Healthcare effectively eliminated 84 jobs, and shutting down their Shirley’s Place Child Care Center,  blaming changes in the healthcare industry (like ObamaCare pushing people out of inpatient care) which is causing their revenues to crash.  “…Montana residents, who call themselves pain refugees, boarded an airplane from Missoula to Los Angeles. They say that finding doctors willing to treat chronic pain in Montana is almost impossible…   In the past several years, the Montana Board of Medical Examiners has taken on several high-profile cases of doctors it suspects of overprescribing opioids.”-Kaiser Health News

New Jersey: In Atlantic City, the Carl Icahn-Donald Trump (Presbyterian christian) owned Trump Taj Mahal Casino officially shutdown, 3-thousand jobs gone!

New York:  God powerless to stop ‘his’ College of Saint Rose from possibly eliminating 23 jobs due to a $9-million shortfall, despite boasting of a record number of enrollments this school year!  It should be noted that the College of Saint Rose is deeply involved/connected with U.S. attorneys and court judges, unAmerican corporate America and the main stream news media.   God powerless to stop ‘his’ Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services from issuing a layoff WARN for their ops in Brooklyn.

In Little Hocking, Stahl’s Christmas Shop shutdown: “I didn’t want to have to do this but with the downturn in the economy, things just haven’t been as good the last few years so we just thought it was time. We’ve been here 36 years so we’ve had a long run.”-Sharon Stahl

Oregon: God powerless to stop ‘his’ non-profit Saint Charles Health System from already shutting down their new Center for Women’s Health in Bend, blaming “staffing-related issues”!  When asked for specifics John Weinsheim, president of the Saint Charles Medical Group, insisted “I really can’t.”  Facebook posts indicate the year and a half old clinic is losing doctors early next year.

“But the root of all these evils is the love of money, and there are some who have desired it and have erred from the faith and have brought themselves many miseries.”-1 Timothy 6:10 Aramaic Bible

“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.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance: “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment.

Right to Vote? Yeah Right! Clinton wins record # of pop votes? Stop blaming Russia!

21 December 2016 / 21:18 UTC-07 Tango 06 (02 Dey 1395/22 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1438/24 Geng Zi 4714)

For more proof your vote doesn’t count (and that the U.S. has never been a democracy) Hillary Clinton set a new record for the amount of popular votes received by a candidate who lost the Electoral College vote!

Note the Pledge of Allegiance states the country is a Republic, not a democracy. The line “one nation under God” was added in 1953 in direct violation of the 1st Amendment!

But most of those pop votes came from one state, the not-so Golden State of California, by 4.2-million. She won The Empire State of New York by 1.6-million (she even got her husband Bill to vote in the Electoral College for New York). The fact that Clinton did win the pop vote also slams her supporter’s claim that Russia rigged the election! However, when you throw out California and New York, Clinton actually lost the pop vote by 3-million votes!

RIGHT TO VOTE? YEAH RIGHT! CLINTON CASTS ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE FOR CLINTON!

New York state Militia celebrates 380th B-day while deployed to Kuwait

13 December 1636 is the official ‘birth date’ for U.S. state militias, aka National Guard.   That makes the National Guard 140 years older than the United States itself!  It also means the National Guard is one of the oldest continuous military organizations in the world!

In 1636, the Massachusetts General Court ordered that all able-bodied men, between the ages of 16 and 60,  join the militia.

While the Regulars (full time federal military) get most of the recognition during wars it’s actually National Guard personnel who supply most of the manpower.  On 08 December 2016, Vermont’s Air National Guard deployed for never ending ops in The Middle East.

Virginia and Maryland Army National Guards deployed (first time both deploying together since Korean Conflict) to Kuwait.  On 12 DEC 2016, Michigan Air National Guard deployed to The Middle East.

IMF warns World economies of Trump regime!

“The timing of the abrupt asset-price movements—coming within days of the U.S. election—is the key clue about what moved markets. The election of Donald Trump as president, coupled with continuing Republican control of the Congress, ended six years of divided U.S. government.

………More rapidly rising U.S. interest rates signal further dollar appreciation. Tax incentives for U.S. corporation to repatriate their past profits held abroad, which some estimate at $2.5 trillion, could also push the dollar up. Given faster demand growth, the outcome will be a widening U.S. current account deficit, that is, more borrowing from abroad. Some of it will possibly finance a growing Federal fiscal deficit, depending on the precise features of the U.S. fiscal package, the extent to which it is paid for by budget cuts elsewhere, the path of government borrowing rates, and the economy’s growth response.

……..If sharp exchange rate shifts and growing global imbalances follow the U.S. policy regime change, protectionist pressures become a major risk…….it is most likely that emerging market economies are the main targets for higher trade barriers erected by advanced economies.

Governments should therefore keep in mind that protection is likely to be counterproductive at home……In an environment of sharply divergent policy mixes, as we may now be facing, the rules of the global trading system will be more important than ever.”–Maurice Obstfeld, International Monetary Fund Economic Counsellor and Director of Research,  and Professor of Economics

False Flag: Turkey, Russia blame assassination on U.S. based extremist group!

20 December 2016 / 22:26 UTC-07 Tango 06 (01 Dey 1395/21 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1438/23 Geng Zi 4714)

News reports out of the Middle East say Rossija and Türkiye has ‘intelligence’ identifying an Islamic extremist group, operating within the United States, as being behind the assassination of Rossija’s ambassador to Türkiye.  Of course the Obama regime called the reports “absolutely ridiculous”.

I’ve already written how in 1997 President Bill Clinton rescued an Islamic extremist after a failed coup attempt in Türkiye.  That man, Muhammed Fethullah Gülen, has been living at tax-payer expense in Pennsylvania, and operates a massive charter school system based in Texas.

The assassination comes as Iran, Rossija and Türkiye began their own diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-EU-Israeli instigated insurgency in Syria, stating:

1. Iran, Russia and Turkey reiterate their full respect for the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic as a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, non-sectarian, democratic and secular state.

2. Iran, Russia and Turkey are convinced that there is no military solution to the Syrian conflict. They recognize the essential role of the United Nations in the efforts to resolve this crisis in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 2254.

The ministers [Mohammad Javad Zarif, Sergei Lavrov and Mevlut Cavusoglu] also take note of the decisions made by the International Syria Support Croup (ISSG) and urge all members of the international community to cooperate in good faith in order to remove the obstacles on the way to implement the agreements contained in these documents.

3. Iran, Russia and Turkey welcome joint efforts in eastern Aleppo allowing for voluntary evacuation of civilians and organized departure of the armed opposition.

The ministers also welcome the partial evacuation of civilians from Foua, Kefraya, Zabadani and Madaya and commit to ensure the completion of the process without any interruption and in a safe and secure manner.

They express their gratitude to the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) for their assistance in the conduction of the evacuation.

4. The Iranian, Russian and Turkish ministers agree on the importance of expanding ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian assistance and free movement of civilians throughout the country.

5. Iran, Russia and Turkey express their readiness to facilitate and become the guarantors of the prospective agreement being negotiated between the Syrian government and the opposition. They invite all other countries with the influence on the situation on the ground to do the same.

6. They strongly believe that this agreement will be instrumental to create the necessary momentum for the resumption of the political process in Syria in accordance with the Security Council resolution 2254.

7. Zarif, Lavrov and Cavusoglu take note of the kind offer of the president of Kazakhstan to host relevant meetings in Astana.

8. Iran, Russia and Turkey reiterate their determination to fight jointly against Daesh and al-Nusra terrorists and to separate them from armed opposition groups.
