U.S. vehicle maker General Motors (GM) ownes Deutschland car maker Opel. In turn Opel sells (and builds) its cars in United Kingdom under the name Vauxhall.
GM administrators say the vote by U.K. residents to leave the European Union has caused a crash in Opel-Vauxhall sales (United Kingdom is second largest car market in European Union). GM bean counters expect sales to drop by $400-million USD! As a result they’ve ordered shift reductions for 5-thousand Opel employees in Deutschland!
Spontaneously combusted Vauxhall
But wait, Opel actually made a profit between April and June of this year (after years of losses). The move by GM is pure paranoia over the Brexit vote, in fact the real reason for any claimed declines in Vauxhall sales could be that some older cars are spontaneously combusting! Also, U.K. news media have pointed out that this time of year is a natural slowdown for car sales in Britain, and that GM’s paranoid outlook is based on “interim results”.
And here’s something interesting; Northern Ireland news media report that the actual slowdown in new U.K. car sales was a negligable 0.1%, and Vauxhalls are the number 2 and 3 top selling cars (Ford was #1)!
The tiny Baltic country of Republic of Lithuania (land area 25,212 square miles compared to the much less populous U.S. state of Idaho with 83,642 square miles) just spent the equivilant of $437-million USD on new armored vehicles from Deutschland and Israel!
The vehicles are Deutsch made Boxer wheeled AFVs with Israeli made turrets and gun systems.
The reason for the record level purchase for the tini-tiny country is the ramping up of fear mongering by U.S. led NATO against Russia. It’s the same fear mongering bullshit that was used during the undeclared Cold War (1947-91). There is no proof that Russia is about to launch a take-over the world war! In fact it is the United States that has surrounded Russia, just like it did during the Cold War.
“The Americans have become obsessed with the idea of becoming absolutely invulnerable…..absolute invulnerability for one country would in theory require absolute vulnerability for all others.”-Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, February 2012
Today the United States has greatly expanded the territory it controls, some in the name of fighting a vague undeclared War on Terror (declared by the main stream news industry), some in the name of helping former Warsaw Pact members defend themselves, and some in the name of promoting stability in oil rich South China Sea.
The Soviet Union was the reason the United States waged its Cold War, but the Soviet Union died in 1991. Are ‘Americans’ so drugged up they can’t tell what year it is?
Never ending techno-glitches, rebelious parts suppliers, crashing sales and more conspiratorial moves towards all-electric vehicles could kill-off a once iconic car brand; Volkswagen.
The latest tech propblem for VW is that its eletronic lock system can be easily hacked, according to research at United Kingdom’s University of Birmingham. That means at least 100-million VW, Skoda and Seat vehicles are vunerable! The study also found that Ford, Peugeot and Citroen vehicles are also screwed up.
In Deutschland, nearly 70-thousand automotive industry employees found themselves suddenly unemployed when vehicle production was halted at six VW factories, and worker strikes hit several independantly run parts factories! For the past few weeks news reports said the looming shutdowns were to be blamed on disputes with parts suppliers. Parts suppliers (controlled by a company called Prevent) accuse VW of violating its own contracts and say VW hasn’t been paying them. However, perhaps the real reason for the production halt is the fact that VW sales in the United States fell for a ninth straight month, an 8% decline in July.
Sales in the Fatherland of Deutschland fell 8.7%. But that’s nothing compared to the 32% decline in Brazil (for the first half of 2016)!
The U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that 76% of the wealth in the United States is controled by only 10% of the population!
The data was based on 25 years of information, from 1989 to 2013. The CBO results back up what the tax collector Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been saying for the past decade; the majority of U.S. residents are losing their ass financially, since 1979!
And while the majority of money is made by a minority, the greater percentage of tax (per individual) is paid by the majority with a minority of income (16.9% tax rate for rich vs 23.4% for everybody else in 2007)!

On 18 August 2016, U.S. Air Force B-52H bombers taking part in exercise Pitch Black were diverted to the British empire country of Australia, to take part in Australia’s Vietnam Remembrance Day.
Video fo B-52s being diverted over Australia:
Australia’s Vietnam Rememberance Day is set on the date of the Battle of Long Tan, which took place in 1966. Supposedly 1-hundred Diggers (Aussie soldiers) and three Kiwis (New Zealanders) were surrounded by 2-thousand Vietnamese. According to Australian news sources, without explanation the Vietnamese halted their assaults after three-and-a-half hours. 18 Diggers killed, 21 wounded. The Australians claim they killed 245 Vietnamese druing the battle.

It should be noted that veteran Digger commander Harry Smith, who took part in the Battle of Long Tan, openly criticizes Australia’s Vietnam Rememberance Day pointing out that Australians would be “up in arms” if Japan had an national holiday celebrating it’s bombing of the Aussie port of Darwin (Japan conducted air raids on Australia from 1942-43).
Amazingly there are news reports saying Vietnam actually gave the Aussie government the go-ahead to celebrate the U.S. led occupation of Vietnam, in Vietnam! More than 1-thousand Australians went to Vietnam for Vietnam Rememberance Day, that’s ten times the number of Diggers surrounded at the Battle of Long Tan!
But to add even more insult to the Vietnamese veterans who fought against occupation, the U.S. Air Force diverted two B-52H bombers to Australia for the celibrations. The B-52 bomber became an infamous icon of genocide during the Vietnam occuation after bombing “them into the Stone Age”. In 1995, the Vietnamese government claimed that U.S. airstrikes (from 1965-74) caused most of the 2-million civilian causualties during the occupation!
The final, and ‘heaviest’ B-52 bombing missions over Vietnam were ordered by president Richard Nixon, about 20-thousand tons of bombs dropped in one week of December 1972!
Remains of B-52 still visible in Hanoi today. For a long time the USAF denied its B-52s were being shot down by the ‘stone aged’ Vietnamese
B-52 shoot down over Hanoi:
It was called Linebacker II, also known as Christmas Bombings (isn’t that nice of you ‘christians’?). Here’s audio of Nixon and Henry Kissinger talking about creating a False Flag excuse for launching the Christmas Bombings:
They were bombed “back to the Stone Age”, the U.S. and Australia never lost a battle, but who won the war?
“The Americans are still relying on their large, sophisticated war machine with electronics and awesome carpet bombs. That’s their strong point. But they have always underestimated their enemy. That’s their weakness…”-Bui Tin, former Colonel in People’s Army of Viet-Nam (PAVN), February 1991
“No army has ever surrendered because they were subjected to heavy bombardment.”-Eugene J. Carroll Junior, retired USN Rear Admiral, February 1991
“Beginning Sunday night there was a line of cars and people waiting to get their vouchers to be seen the following day. These patients slept in their cars and on the concrete outside the fence line of the high schools in hopes to be provided free health care!”-Major Brad Cunningham, U.S. Army optometrist
Desperate Texans lined up at Juarez-Lincoln High School in Mission, for free eye exams provided by the U.S. Army
If ObamaCare (Affordable Care Act) is so good why has the U.S. military ramped up free medical services for U.S. silly-vilians?
At the end of July the Brooke Army Medical Center took part in a Remote Area Medical mission in Rio Grande Valley. 986 full eye exams were conducted, 885 glasses made, and 58 people had to be refered to civilian specialists because of more severe eye problems.

The highlight at Cotant Park was when the helicopter ride force landed, twice, and looking very much like it would crash into neighboring Chase Park playground, due to passenger overloading. However, the main attraction had arrived and most people were thus busy getting baptized by the Chubbuck Fire Department, so they missed the ‘copter excitement.

I warned back in February that Kuwait and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) were going to cancel their funding for their students attending cash strapped Idaho State University (ISU). Back then it was due to falling oil prices, but then Arab students began reporting increased cases of harassment and discrimination by Idahoans (a couple months ago at least 50 Arab ‘students’ reported their residences being burglarized). By June Kuwait and KSA suspended scholarships for their 1-thousand 2-hundred students at ISU.
The 1,200 Kuwaiti & Saudi students made up about 90% of the foeriegn students at ISU, going by this ISU generated graph
The National Association of Foreign Student Advisers (NAFSA: Association of International Educators) economic analysis shows the struggling Gem State made $110-million in tuition/fees and living expenses from foreign college students during the 2013-14 school year! NAFSA says 882 jobs were created as well.
“And the storms just keep on coming, Mother Nature is your best friend or your worst enemy.”-Nikki Booth, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation
Lack of rain or massive hail storms, some that also hit parts of the United States, wiped out many of Canada’s Alberta farms! As of 01 August 2016, 7-thousand and three insurance claims have been filed, only about half are currently being examined by insurance adjusters. As many as 3-hundred farms were hit by crop destroying weather right before harvest.
It’s expected that insurance payouts for hail or rain damage will exceed the 2012 record payout of $450-million CAD, however that still doesn’t beat the insurance payouts for crops killed by drought. In 2015 almost $1-billion CAD was paid for drought damage!
In neighboring Saskatchewan hail damage insurance claims are up by 60%! The province of Manitoba also reporting “significantly higher than average” insurance claims.
