World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 25-28 November 2013: Two million drug addicts under U.S. occupation! More free money from World Bank! National Guard heading back to Afghanistan! Guardsmen return home to no jobs!

Badakhshan Province: In Yamgan District, an entire Afghan National Army unit joined the Mujahideen to protest the Obama regime’s post 2014 occupation deal (aka bilateral security deal).  At least 25 U.S.-NATO-ISAF trained soldiers switched sides.  The ANA commander, known as Ashoor, called the security deal a slavery pact with America.

Faryab Province: Six employees of the French NGO, Agency for Technical Co-operation and Development, were shot and killed.  Cops claim they don’t know who did it, but Mujahideen proudly claimed responsibility.

Helmand Province: In Nad Ali District, a Georgian-ISAF tank was blown up.  Witnesses say the crewmen were killed.  Rescuers were hit with another explosion, killing three and wounding two.

Herat Province: In Shindand District, over a two day period government forces stole 200 motorcycles, 50 cars and trucks, and kidnapped two people!  Witnesses say the government forces gave no reason for their actions.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, an explosion was heard.  Cops say it was a trash can bomb, and nobody was hurt.

Kandahar Province: In Panjwai District, a vehicle carrying a family was blown up by a landmine. Three people killed, one child wounded.

Nangarhar Province: In Shirzad District, a Afghan helicopter (most likely paid for with U.S. tax dollars) crashed during anti-opium ops, according to government officials.  However, Mujahideen say the ‘copter was part of a seven ship heliborne assault led by U.S. forces.  Mujahideen say they shot down the ‘copter.  They claim the battle resulted in five U.S.-NATO-ISAF troops killed, seven ANA troops killed and 10 wounded.

Nuristan Province: In Kamdish District, the Afghan National Army called in a U.S.-NATO drone strike.  Two people killed.  ANA officials claim the two people were Mujahideen.

The Pubilc Health Ministry says the U.S. occupation has created more than two million drug addicts in Afghanistan!

The Afghan Ministry of Justice is considering reinstating the Death by Stoning law for people who commit adultery, or have sex without being married.  President Hamid Karzai says he is against such a law.

The U.S. based World Bank is pledging even more free money to Afghanistan.  This time the $50-million USD grant is for making it easier for Afghans to get loans!  It’s called the Afghanistan Access to Finance Project.

The U.S. National Guard Bureau met with Lithuanian military leaders, one of the topics of discussion was the continued occupation of Afghanistan: “We have been tackling with the multinational mission in Afghanistan and training in joint military exercises. We hope that our military cooperation in multinational exercises and operations will not run out and more joint projects will facilitate its further development.”-Juozas Olekas, Lithuanian Minister of National Defense

200 Army National Guard 48th Infantry Brigade militia personnel, from the U.S. state of Georgia, departed for training to prepare for their deployment to Afghanistan in January 2014.

In the U.S. state of Louisiana, a Army National Guard militia man returned from Afghanistan was denied his civilian job.  Sherman Crandle spent a year in Afghanistan.  He left his Best Buy job when he was deployed, but when he returned home Best Buy told him to take a hike!  This violates U.S. law!  But Crandle did not give up: “Throughout the rehiring process it took me about a month and a half to get my job back…[however]…I’ve worked a total like six days so far out of the last three weeks.”

Corporate Evil: Hepatitis vaccines causing people to die! Bilderberg connection!

24 December 2013 (20:11 UTC-07 Tango 23 December 2013)/20 Safar 1435/03 Dey 1392/22 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

China’s Food and Drug Administration has banned specific hepatitis vaccines after the confirmation that seven infants died from the anti-virus shot. 

At least one infant is now sick with hep B after getting the vaccine.

The seven infants died after receiving hepatitis B vaccinations.  The vaccine has been sold to the provinces of Hunan, Guangdong and Guizhou. 

In July of this year, Vietnam stopped hep B vaccinations after three infants died.

In May of 2011, the same type of vaccine was found in a U.S. court to be responsible for the death of a child: “….she suffered certain injuries as a result of receiving a vaccination. Among the injuries petitioner alleged that she had suffered as a result of receiving a hepatitis B vaccination was systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) … A lump sum of $475,000.00 in the form of a check payable to petitioner as Administratrix of the Estate of Tambra Harris.”-United States Court of Federal Claims

Some doctors have even testified in front of U.S. Congress, saying the hep B vaccine is worse than the disease: “For most children, the risk of a serious vaccine reaction may be 100 times greater than the risk of hepatitis B.”-Jane Orient, Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

The organization called Child Health Safety also points out that hep B vaccines are connected to cases of multiple sclerosis and autoimmune disorders.

The company that made the vaccines in China, BioKangtai, is under investigation.   China requires that children get three hep B shots within their first year of life!

It turns out that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is behind global hep B vaccination programs.

The Gates Foundation supports the Partnership Project to Strengthen Immunization Services and Introduce Hepatitis B Vaccine, in India’s Andhra Pradesh: “I commend the State of Andhra Pradesh for its strong commitment to immunization.”-Bill Gates

They also gave the Pan American Health Organization $4.9-million USD to run vaccination programs for children, including hep B.   Other hep B vaccination programs supported by the Gates Foundation ($10-billion pledged in 2010) are GAVI Alliance, Children’s Vaccine Program at PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health),  and University of Washington Department of Global Health.

The Hepatitis B Foundation gave the Gates Foundation an award for the aggressive promotion of vaccinations.

Warren Buffet is a “co-trustee” of the Gates Foundation.  Bill Gates has attended secretive Bilderberg meetings, his name appears on their publicized guest list.

 

Business/Economics, U.S.

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 18 September 2013. Several thousands more lose their jobs! More Obama Care layoffs!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

BlackBerry announced 5-thousand people will lose their jobs!  Company officials blame crashing sales.   In June, BlackBerry reported a loss of $84-million USD.

Arizona: In Tucson, after 23 years the El Mezon del Cobre restaurant shut down.  The owner, a single mother of three, said it was getting too hard to continue operations.

Connecticut:  What automotive industry recovery? In Cheshire, Willow’s Motorsports shut down.  The motorcycle dealer blamed the high price of new motorcycles (who wants to pay more than 10-thousand dollars for a new motorcycle, anybody remember when they were just a couple of hundred?) and internet competition for their declining sales of motorcycle parts.

Florida: In Clearwater, Ruth Eckerd Hall laid off 13 employees. Officials with the non-profit performing arts organization blamed it on declining donations.

Iowa: What automotive industry recovery? In Creston, after 103 years of manufacturing automotive parts and engines, Gits will shut down in 2014! 95 jobs lost.  The company is consolidating manufacturing to other factories.

Kentucky: In Louisville, at least five Swifty gas stations shut down, without notice!  Speculation is that the company lost too much money, because they were an old fashioned gas station selling mainly gas, which generates only pennies in profits on every gallon sold. (that’s pennies on every gallon, not pennies on every dollar.  more proof that you can’t blame the gas stations for the high prices, they’re getting ripped off too)

Maine: In New Bedford, Southcoast Health System laid off 60 people.  Southcoast President and CEO, Keith Hovan, directly blamed Obama Care.

Maryland: In Salisbury, the Peninsula Regional Medical Center laid off 58 people.  That brings this year’s layoffs to 101.  Hospital officials blame declining demand for care and declining reimbursements caused by Obama Care.

Michigan: Too Big to Jail, Flagstar Bank, shut down in Troy, according to a WARN filing.  At least 299 jobs lost!

Missouri: In Saint Louis, tax sucker Boeing laid off 300 people!  Boeing ended production of their expensive C-17 military transport aircraft.

New York: Tax sucker General Electric to shut down its Fort Edward factory.  200 jobs lost!  Company officials moved production to Florida, with little notice to New York employees.

Ohio: Non-profit Summa Health System being killed by Obama Care. 30 more employees were laid off.  Back in January Summa Health laid off 54 employees.  Summa officials are hoping a deal with the Christian God’s Catholic Health Partners will save them.  The largest employer in the region, Cleveland Clinic, laying off as many as 3-thousand people!  Hospital officials blame Obama Care: “To prepare for healthcare reform, Cleveland Clinic is transforming the way care is delivered to patients.…..we need to further reduce costs to the organization by $330 million in 2014.”-Cleveland Clinic press release

Pennsylvania: In Wyomissing, Play It Again Sports shut down. The operators blame declining sales. In Waynesburg, Southwest Regional Medical Center laid off 29 employees.  Hospital officials blame reduced payments caused by Obama Care.  The hospital can no longer offer high level services: “The key change to services available locally is that we will only be performing scheduled surgical procedures and we will not be offering the highest intensity level of services as in the past.”-Cindy Cowie, CEO

South Carolina: A West Ashley Piggly Wiggly grocery store shut down. 14 other Piggy Wiggly stores were sold off!

Washington DC: Education software maker, Blackboard Incorporated, laid off an undisclosed number of employees.  Company officials refuted claims it was 140 employees. Company officials said they needed to reduce operating costs.

West Virginia: Theatre West Virginia shut down after 53 seasons! It’s blamed on the bad economy.  In Morgantown, the Kmart will be shut down. 100 jobs lost!

Wisconsin: OEM Fabricators laid off 45 employees. They blame a slow down in construction, oil and gas industries.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Record radiation levels, global radiation wave bigger than all nuke weapons testing combined!!! Surge in cancer rates!

22 December 2013 (15:18 UTC-07 Tango)/18 Safar 1435/01 Dey 1392/20 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“The rate at which children in Fukushima prefecture have developed thyroid cancer can be called frequent, because it is several times to several tens of times higher.”-Tsuda Toshihide, Okayama University

It has been revealed that 59 people living in Fukushima Prefecture have thyroid cancer.  They were all younger than 18 years of age when the nuke disaster began in 2011.  Compare that to medical records that show between 1975 to 2008 the average yearly thyroid cancer rate, for all of Japan, was 11 in every one million Japanese!

Children and young adults in their early 20s, and pregnant women, are Canaries In The Coal Mine when it comes to radiation contamination, because growing bodies absorb more radiation than people who are no longer growing: “It is known that radioactive iodine is linked to thyroid cancer. Through the intake of food, people may absorb and accumulate it inside glands.”-Choi Kin, former president of the Hong Kong Medical Association

Radiation caused cancer rates are probably much higher in Japan.  Arnold Gunderson, a former nuclear industry executive and engineer with more than 30 years of experience, told KBOO radio in Oregon, U.S.A., that Japanese doctors are being ordered not to declare any unusual illnesses as being related to radiation: “We’re seeing Japanese doctors not being able to tell their patients that the illnesses they’re experiencing are radiation induced….”  

Japan’s Environment Ministry has blasted Tokyo Electric Power Company for dragging out the nuclear disaster of Fukushima Daiichi, for three years now.  Specifically they are referring to the decontamination of contaminated areas and towns around the GE designed disaster reactors.  It was promised they would be cleaned up by March 2014, but it’s painfully clear that’s not going to happen.

The main problem remains the fact that Japan does not have sufficient nuclear waste storage sites, due to the fact that political and corporate officials in Japan thought anything like this couldn’t happen.  But, even the U.S. is not prepared for a similar situation: “Even for the U.S. nuclear industry, such a cleanup and decommissioning would be a great challenge.”-Akira Tokuhiro, Professor of nuke engineering with University of Idaho, U.S.A., at their Idaho Falls Center

Another problem is continued high level radiation emissions from  Fukushima Daiichi.

Within the past day, TEPCo workers recorded record levels of beta type radiation coming from Reactor 2; 1.9 million becquerels per liter!  Since November, Reactor 2 has been emitting higher and higher levels of deadly beta radiation.

On top of that, TEPCo admits radiation in the air is so high that when it rains it floods the ground with contamination.  Today they discovered that one of the concrete liners/barriers, under one of several nuke waste water storage tank farms, is leaking contaminated rain water.  They believe the joins in the concrete liner have eroded, the water pouring out is not from any of the tanks, but from rain water that gets contaminated as it falls and collects in the liner/barrier.  How contaminated?  Throwaway workers say they detected 93 becquerels per liter of strontium 90 in the rain water that is still in the barrier.

International researchers are now desperately warning of massive global radiation contamination, because of Fukushima Daiichi.

“Fukushima Daiichi has been allowed to get out of control……The amount of radiation that went into the Pacific from largely French [nuke weapons] tests, but also American tests, is smaller than what is going into the Pacific now from Fukushima Daiichi…….Fukushima Daiichi’s plume that’s heading towards the west coast of the United States is about 10 times more radiation in that wave, as it comes toward the west coast of the United States, than what we had already done from bomb testing.”-Arnold Gunderson, former nuclear industry executive and engineer interviewed on KBOO radio in Oregon, U.S.A., on 08 November 2013

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, U.S.A., has published a graphic which shows the radiation coming from Fukushima Daiichi is far higher than any of the man made radiation created by the nuke weapons testing in the 1960s, and the 1989 Chernobyl disaster combined!

The U.S. government conducted airborne radiation sampling off the west coast of the U.S., in 2012, but has refused to publish the results claiming national security issues!

Fukushima, U.S.

More Fukushima Fallout: Strontium reaches deep aquifer! USN personnel suffering radiation poisoning! Government to sell off TEPCo to pay for decontamination! Still no nuke evac plan!

20 December 2013 (12:53 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Safar 1435/29 Azar 1392/18 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“I get so angry. They said as long as the plume was avoided we would be fine!”-Jamie Plym, USN

U.S. sailors who served aboard the USS Ronald Reagan and USS Essex, during efforts to help the Japanese at the beginning of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster, are reporting illness linked to radiation contamination.  At least 51 sailors are attempting to sue Tokyo Electric Power Company (they should also sue GE, Hitachi and Toshiba).  The U.S. military personnel are suffering from strange growths on their bodies, thyroid and testicular cancers, leukemia, bronchitis and even unexplained and uncontrollable bleeding.  They claim medical testing confirm the symptoms are radiation poisoning.

For the first time, TEPCo is reporting that cesium and strontium is contaminating the aquifer under Fukushima Daiichi, 25 meters (82 feet) underground!  The contamination is coming from the GE designed, Hitachi built Reactor 4.  6.7 becquerels per liter of cesium 137, and 89 becquerels per liter of strontium were detected.

The Japanese government announced it will sell its shares of TEPCo stocks to raise cash to pay for decontamination efforts.  Lack of capitalist funding is the main reason for why the decontamination is being held up.   However, who wants to buy into a company that’s proven to be incompetent?

But wait, there’s more! The Japanese government is also increasing interest free loans to TEPCo.  About $87-billion USD worth!

TEPCo has agreed to decommission reactors 5 and 6 at Fukushima Daiichi.  Supposedly they suffered only cooling problems, and were shut down, but the Japanese government insisted they needed to be decommissioned before tackling the decommissioning of reactors 1 through 4.

The Japanese government says it will increase its paltry financial help for residents forced to leave the radiation contamination area.   The money is not coming from taxpayers, but supposedly from TEPCo.  Money will be used to rebuild homes.  People suffering mental stress have one year after evac orders are lifted to apply for a lump sum payment.  (lump?)

Remember, this disaster has been ongoing for three years!

And three years later, 60% of Japanese cities located within 30km (18.6 miles) of a nuclear power plant still have no evacuation plans in case of nuke disaster!  Local government officials within 30km of nuke plants are blaming local governments outside the 30km zone.  Officials within the 30km zones say they need places to evacuate to, outside of the evac zones, and that cities outside the zones are not set up to handle mass evacuees or casualties pouring in from other areas.  Yet another reason to dump nuke power!

Here’s another reason:  Researchers have been studying the forests around Fukushima Daiichi.  They’ve found high levels radiation at the root level of trees, about 1.8 microsieverts per hour.  Also, 50-thousand becquerels of radiation per kilogram is being found in the leaf fall and soil!  When it rains the radiation is washed downhill into streams and water supply for people. Currently there are no official efforts to clean up radiation contamination in the forests.

The New Great Opium War Game: Myanmar now second largest producer of opium! Interesting correlations between opium production in Afghanistan and Myanmar (called the United States)!

19 December 2013 (22:56 UTC-07 Tango 18 December 2013)/15 Safar 1435/28 Azar 1392/17 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

In May 2012 the Obama regime lifted all economic sanctions against Myanmar.  The now ‘open for business’ south Asian country has become the World’s second largest producer of illegal opium.  Realize that back in 1999 the government of Myanmar said they would be opium free by 2014!

The evil British empire, as well as the U.S. government, still calls Myanmar, Burma.

The U.S. government supported Myanmar/Burma from the end of the second World War to 1997.  U.S. taxpayers sent lots-o-money and even military equipment to Myanmar/Burma in the name of fighting opium production.  By 1990 Myanmar/Burma had become the largest opium producer in the World, despite all the anti-drugs war help from the United States.

Then the government of Myanmar really cracked down hard on opium production.  In 1997 the United States began imposing sanctions against Myanmar on the grounds the government was undemocratic and repressing its own people.  By 1998, opium production in the Golden Triangle, which includes Myanmar, was cut down by 33%.  In 1999 the Myanmar government declared they would eradicate opium by 2014.

As opium production decreased in Myanmar, the U.S. government increased sanctions.

Now enter Afghanistan.  Opium production in Afghanistan did not become a problem until the Soviet occupation in the 1980s.  But it wasn’t the Soviets who were behind it.  The Russians continue to say they have evidence that the U.S. CIA instigated opium production in Afghanistan to help pay for a covert war against the Soviet Union (and don’t forget the Iran Contra scandal led by the U.S. ‘hero’ Oliver North).

However, opium production in Afghanistan did not explode until the 1990s, that just happens to be the time Myanmar was cracking down on opium production.  By 1999 Afghanistan produced a record crop of opium, the same year Myanmar officials said their country would be free of opium by 2014.

Between 1990 and 1996 Afghanistan was under the control of U.S. backed warlords.

In comes Taliban.  The Taliban took over Afghanistan in 1996.  The U.S. government, under George Bush Jr, misled the people of the United States, saying the Taliban were behind the record opium production.  Fact: From 2000 to 2002, under the Taliban government opium production in Afghanistan was cut down by an incredible 99%, in less than two years!  That stat is backed up by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

In 2002 the United States invaded Afghanistan, and now under U.S. occupation Afghanistan is the World’s top producer of opium, producing more opium than they ever did in the 1990s.

But wait, what about Myanmar?  The U.S. government actually returned to funding Myanmar/Burma in 2000, under the Bush Jr regime.  It was done under the guise of the evil U.S. AID.  In 2008 U.S. AID funding was increased.

By 2012, under the Obama regime, the U.S. AID mission to Myanmar became official, and Obama pledged $170-million in taxpayer funding to the country formerly known as Burma.  The Obama regime claimed it was because Myanmar had become democratic, despite outright open genocide against Muslims living in Myanmar.

Also in 2012, opium production in Myanmar had not only returned to record levels, but actually surpassed the production levels of the 1980s.  Now, in 2013 U.S./British empire controlled Myanmar is considered the second largest opium producer, after U.S./British empire controlled Afghanistan.

Russia claims most of the opium being produced in Afghanistan is being smuggled into Russia.  Iran claims to have lost thousands of border cops fighting illegal drugs smugglers from U.S./British empire controlled Afghanistan.  Iran even says some of those smugglers they’ve captured had U.S. issued documents on them.  China reports that most of the opium being produced in U.S./British empire controlled Myanmar is ending up in their country.

Now go study the history of the Opium Wars against China, and the history of The Great Game against Russia.  They’re still happening more than two hundred years later!

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 21-24 November 2013: U.S. troops allowed to commit crimes under new Article 13! Praying in your religious establishment will get you accused of being a suicide bomber? National Guard deploying to Kuwait!

Baghlan Province: In Dand-e-Ghori District, a man and woman in their 20s were executed for having sex outside of marriage.   Western Christians shouldn’t be too shocked, unless they are ignorant of their own history.  There was a time in the Christian West when people who had sex outside marriage could be killed.

Kandahar Province: In Shorabak District, an Afghan border cop turned his gun on fellow cops, killing two of them.  The shooter escaped.

Khost Province: In Khost City two explosions killed Afghan National Army and Police personnel. The first explosion killed one ANA soldier and wounded three others. The second explosion occurred when ANP forces were investigating the first explosion.  Three cops and seven civilians were wounded in the second explosion.

Nangarhar Province: In Shirzad District, seven people were killed inside a Mosque when a bomb exploded.  Interior Ministry officials claim they were all suicide bombers! Government officials implied that religious establishments are being used to make bombs.   In Jalalabad City, an explosion killed two civilians and wounded one cop.

Takhar Province: A provincial government official was assassinated by explosion.  A remote controlled bomb was planted in his car.

Uruzgan Province:  Two health care workers were hanged after they took part in a vaccination program in Khush Qadeer village.  No clue as to who did it.

According to local news reports, The national grand council (Loya Jirga) has agreed to give U.S. troops, stationed in Afghanistan after the supposed 2014 pullout, legal immunity from any crimes they commit!   It is known as Article 13 of the Obama regime’s bilateral security agreement.  The Loya Jirga also wants the ‘peace’ deal with the Obama regime signed before the end of the Gregorian year 2013.

What was that about farmers can’t make money unless they grow opium?  A new business just started up in Afghanistan, called FINEST (aka The Finest Group).  It promotes agricultural products grown in Afghanistan.   Company officials claim they will mobilize food crop production from 100-thousand Afghan farmers.

Army National Guard 878th Engineer Battalion, from the U.S. state of Georgia, returned home from Afghanistan.

Army National Guard 833rd Engineer Company, from the U.S. state of Iowa, returned home from Afghanistan.  According to local news reports they are the last Iowa Guard unit to return from the Central Asian country.  The father of one returning militia man says he feels betrayed by the Obama regime’s bilateral security agreement, which keeps U.S. forces in Afghanistan past the 2014 pullout: “I was just blown away that they would actually do that after basically promising that after 2014 that nobody would be there in Afghanistan.”-Justin Enderson Senior

Army National Guard 129th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, from the U.S. state of South Dakota, returned from Afghanistan.

Army National Guard 3-238th General Support Aviation Battalion, from the U.S. state of Delaware, deployed to Kuwait.  Their primary job will be transporting military personnel to and from areas of the Middle East and Afghanistan.  The U.S. Department of Defense recently awarded Exelis Systems $463.1 million USD contract for base security in Kuwait (on top of the $1.27 billion the contractor has already received from U.S. taxpayers).  It’s part of the U.S. build up in the Persian Gulf country.

Several Guard units from other U.S. states are deployed to Kuwait.  The Kuwaiti government has been helping to fund the U.S. backed civil war in Syria.

Influenza

Influenza: H5N1 now at 59% kill rate? Health officials caught using H5N1 scare to steal lots-o-money!

18 December 2013 (09:59 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Safar 1435/27 Azar 1392/16 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

According to the United Nations’ World Health Organization (WHO), there have been 648 reported Influenza A-H5N1 cases.  384 people have died, that’s a 59% kill rate!

The countries being hardest hit are Indonesia, Egypt and Cambodia.  But wait!  I checked on these misleading news media reports; the 648 cases being reported are from 2003 to 2013!

However, that 59% kill rate still applies.  Example: So far this year, Cambodia reported 26 people infected, 14 of them died.

UNWHO officials did point out that a change in the subtype of H5N1 is being observed in Cambodia.

In the United States, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has approved a H5N1 vaccine.  But seeing as how the virus is already evolving subtypes, the new vaccine probably won’t be that effective.

Government health officials say the new vaccine is only for use if the H5N1 begins spreading from human to human: “This vaccine could be used in the event that the H5N1 avian influenza virus develops the capability to spread efficiently from human to human, resulting in the rapid spread of disease across the globe.”-Karen Midthun, U.S. FDA

Vietnam’s Health Ministry reports they’ve created their own H5N1 vaccine, as well as a H1N1 vaccine.  Their research was funded by the UNWHO.

Back to Indonesia; employees with the Health Ministry have been charged with political corruption (graft).  Police say the health officials used the 2007 H5N1 outbreak to rip off the government by overcharging taxpayers for medical equipment.    Those officials kept the difference between the actual costs of the equipment, and the inflated costs they reported to the Supreme Audit Agency  and the State Finance Development Comptroller.

One health ministry director has been convicted and sent to prison.  But she insists she was following orders, orders that came from the very top of the Health Ministry.

Unpaid contractor is winning bidder for abandoned Hoku Materials factory, again! 1-thousand jobs on the way, by a company with questionable history?

18 December 2013 (18:12 UTC-07 Tango 17 December 2013)/14 Safar 1435/27 Azar 1392/16 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

After a federal court judge ruled the November auction of the massive, and unused, Hoku Materials factory in Pocatello, Idaho, illegal, JH Kelly wins again.

This time JH Kelly bid $8.3 million, which is still a paltry sum when you realize the polysilicon factory is said to be worth about $700-million (but then again, JH Kelly is the one owed the money for building it). Reports say this time the federal bankruptcy court approved the auction.  However, JH Kelly has 72 hours to pay up.

There are reports by a local east Idaho TV news program (KIFI) that a local silica mining operation has made a deal to operate the factory.  Officials with Idaho based Arco Hills Silica Company (AHSC), and Nevada based JCF Funding, claim as many as one thousand jobs will be created!

However, back in August JH Kelly’s attorney said this about AHSC and JCF Funding: “It just seems difficult to conceive these people are serious if they haven’t made a written offer and haven’t engaged capable counsel.  The first thing a bankruptcy judge asks is: ‘Show me the money.’”-Ford Elsaesser

JH Kelly is also the biggest creditor to the bankrupt Hoku Materials factory, and they want their money.

There are some scandals with Arco Hills Silica Company; back in June a former CEO pled guilty to wire fraud, involving the theft of $5-million.

Also, there is court documents showing AHSC was sued by Beco Construction Company.  A “Judgment By Default” for more than $30-thousand was levied against Arco Hills Silica Company in 2004, and renewed in 2009.

“Arco Hills Silica Company is the exclusive mining and manufacturing Company for one of the world’s largest and most pure silica deposits in the world. It is presently in the early stages of development of these assets with anticipation that production will begin during 2011. This company is also actively in beginning construction on a major silicon processing plant, solar panel manufacturing and research facility and various polysilicon plants all to be located in Southeastern Idaho.”-AHSC company statement

Martial Law U.S.A.: Federal judge says NSA data collection violates Constitutional rights of U.S. citizens! Calls data collection “Orewellian”.

17 December 2013 (11:43 UTC-07 Tango )/13 Safar 1435/26 Azar 1392/15 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“I cannot imagine a more ‘indiscriminate’ and ‘arbitrary’ invasion than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every single citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior judicial approval. Surely, such a program infringes on ‘that degree of privacy’ that the founders enshrined in the Fourth Amendment.”-Richard Leon, Federal District Court for the District of Columbia

U.S. Federal District Judge, Richard Leon, has stated that the government data collection of its own citizens is unconstitutional, but is withholding official judgement in the case he’s presiding over.  Leon cited “…significant national security interests at stake in this case and the novelty of the constitutional issues…” for withholding judgement.

This is the first time a federal judge, who was not part of the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, spoke against data collection.  In previous data collection cases the judges were members of the evil FISC.

If you study NAZI Germany, you’ll find they created a similar court of convenience, which ruled all the government’s evil doings, including gas chambers and death camps, to be legal!
