False Flag: Denmark reports 50,000 migrants “disappearing”!

13 June 2016 19:57 UTC-07 Tango 01 (25 Khordad 1395/08 Ramadan 1437/10 Jia-Wu 4714)

News media in Denmark reporting that at least 49 migrants/immigrants/refugee/asylum seekers, who’ve had their requests to enter the European country, are the latest to have disappeared.

CPH Post says a review of paperwork at the Kærshovedgård deportation center, in central Jutland, showed that of the 84 men refused entry only 35 are accounted for.

Two scenarios: The other 49 returned home, or they’ve disappeared somewhere in Europe.

Richard Østerlund la Cour, an immigration administrator, said it is typical that when people are rejected asylum they simply “disappear”!

A pro-immigrant group known as Refugees Welcome admitted that as many as 50-thousand migrants have disappeared from Denmark, over the past ten years!

This news comes at the same time a 15 years old migrant boy attacked other migrants with scissors.

Gun Ban Fail: Cop & wife stabbed to death in France!

13 June 2016 19:15 UTC-07 Tango 01 (25 Khordad 1395/08 Ramadan 1437/10 Jia-Wu 4714)

“The anti-terror department of the Paris prosecution service is taking into account at this stage the mode of operation, the target and the comments made during negotiations with the RAID [Recherche, Assistance, Intervention, Dissuasion].”-unnamed police source

In Paris a man claiming allegiance to Islamic State (DAIISH) used a knife to stab to death a police commander and his wife!

According to French news sources the suspect was already surrounded by police, who were trying to negotiate with him.  The suspect had broken into the police commander’s home and stabbed the couple to death.  Police stormed the home and killed the suspect with their government issued weapons of war.

France has strict anti-gun laws, any gun labeled a “weapon of war” and pistols are banned.  Rifles and shotguns (called Long Guns) are regulated.

Japan media says Orlando shooter was brainwashed!

13 June 2016 (15:50 UTC-07 Tango 01) 24 Khordad 1395/07 Ramadan 1437/09 Jia-Wu 4714

I’ve already written that one sign that somebody has been recruited for a False Flag operation is that they disappear from family and friends before the ‘event’.

Japan’s NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) has interviewed a 56 year old man who attends the same Florida Mosque as the alleged Orlando shooter.  That man says the alleged shooter grew up in the area and was very social until about five years ago when he suddenly left.  When the alleged shooter returned several months ago he was a changed man, avoiding talking to people who knew him.

“financial position is extremely perilous” Hastings dead! 122% ObamaCare insurance cost increase for Idaho! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 13 June 2016

Incomplete list of U.S. job loss announcements and shutdowns.

Arizona: Walgreens shutting down all 40 of their Grand Canyon State Theranos Wellness Centers and ending its partnership with California based blood testing lab Theranos.  It’s connected to Medicare and Medicaid rejecting numerous test results from Theranos.

California: In Fresno, after 66 years Sunnyside Department Store shutting down, local news media say its the last of ten family owned stores on Butler Avenue.   Blood tester Theranos facing shutdown after Medicare-Medicaid declared their test results invalid, and losing their major contract with Walgreens.

Delaware: Draw Another Circle has made it official and placed Hastings into bankruptcy, as part of their plan to try and sell-off the dying entertainment chain.

Idaho: ObamaCare insurance providers are demanding premium increases from anywhere between 27% and an insane 122% for Blue Cross’s ObamaCare Gold Plan!  The Idaho Public Charter School Commission warning Syringa Mountain School of financial peril because state funding can’t come close to covering the charter school’s outrageous operating costs: “SMS’s financial position is extremely perilous. While fundraising efforts have met current cash flow needs, SMS has struggled with lack of funds periodically throughout its years in operation.”

Illinois: Lake Land College eliminating jobs due to “significant reduction” in state taxpayer funding.  Desperate Lake Zurich considering raping taxpayers to fund a new tax district for the abandoned Kmart property! And they’re spending $40-thousand tax dollars to study the feasibility of the Kmart tax district!

Kentucky: ValuMarket shutting down their Louisville store on Hurstbourne, by July.  Local news media says the property owner is redeveloping the property.

Maryland: It’s revealed that taxpayers are being forced to pay more than $320-million each year to shore up the state’s failed retirement system that is now tied to the volatile stock markets!

Michigan: In Ann Arbor, after 70 years G&H Barbers shutting down due to the new property owner wanting to redevelop the property.

New York: In Potsdam, after more than 25 years The Cheshire Cat clothing store shutting down by mid-July.  In Jamaica, Ultimate Aircraft issued a mass layoff WARN, 145 employees unemployed by August.

Ohio: The city of Lorain notified 23 firefighters they will become unemployed due to the city being short $3.6-million USD.  City administrators are trying to get a taxpayer funded grant from the federal government.

Oklahoma: Kimray laying off 120 people by Friday, blaming the oil industry BS!

Pennsylvania: After surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions god powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ Holy Innocents Catholic Church: “We can’t afford to keep it open. We don’t get enough money in the collections to maintain it.”-Medio Mercolini, loyal member

Texas: Draw Another Circle owned Hastings told 375 distribution and HQ employees in Amarillo they will become jobless within 60 days!

Washington: Redmond based Microsoft is buying LinkdIn for $26.2-billion USD, expect mass layoffs.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification.

I found a 2010 AFL-CIO analysis (titled The Public Availability of WARN Notices: Lack of Accessibility and Disclosure…) which proves what I’ve been suspecting in my search of state WARN notices; most states are not complying with federal WARN regulations and are not publicizing or tracking mass layoffs.

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed!

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. It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”

Control Through Chaos : Using the Bible as your guide to destroy society!

13 June 2016 (04:09 UTC-07 Tango 01) 24 Khordad 1395/07 Ramadan 1437/09 Jia-Wu 4714

I’ve heard a lot of ‘right wing christians’ ranting that attacking unarmed, innocent people is cowardly, but not only does it work it’s commanded by your own ‘god’ in your own Bible!

If  you’re a Christian you should remember the story of the statue with the feet of clay.  This story in Daniel 2 says the statue was a representation of various empires; the golden head being Babylon, the silver shoulders & chest Persian, the brass/bronze mid-section Greek, the iron legs Roman, the iron & clay feet Christian Rome (meaning the Western World today), or something like that.  But look at it from a military point of view.  The head is gold and symbolizes the elite. The silver upper body represents the upper class which supports the elite and delegates the orders of the elites.  The brass/bronze mid-section represent the middle class, the people who actually hold the empire together, just like with real humans having a strong mid-section is key to overall strength.  The iron legs represent the lower classes, the ones who actually propel the empire with their highly efficient labor (meaning they work for peanuts).  The feet are made of iron and clay, they represent the impoverished and outcast people of any society, people who actually support empires through their unfairly compensated efforts (meaning slaves or wage slaves).

The impoverished of society are never united, hence the iron and clay mix.   A society that has strong social services to support the impoverished will have ‘feet’ leaning more to the iron side, weak social programs result in ‘feet’ more of clay than iron.  A society that does not support the poor has a larger iron & clay footprint and is setting itself up for a takedown by outside enemies.  Essentially the dream of Nebuchadnezzar was showing him how to bring down his enemies; attack the poor people of your enemy’s territory.

“Contributing to maintain an army at a distance causes the people to be impoverished….   …..When their substance is drained away, the peasantry will be afflicted by heavy exactions. With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the homes of the people will be stripped bare, and three-tenths of their income will be dissipated….  ….We can form a single united body, while the enemy must split up into fractions…..   So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.“-Sun Tzu (aka Sun Zi, Sun Bin, Sun Wu) at least 7-hundred years before the Bible was ‘compiled’ from older writings

False Flag: Both ‘christian’ Pride Festival attacker & ‘muslim’ Orlando shooter were security guards!

13 June 2016 (02:50 UTC-07 Tango 01) 24 Khordad 1395/07 Ramadan 1437/09 Jia-Wu 4714

The main stream news media, and the right wing ‘christian’ media, are  rabid about pointing out that the Orlando shooter was a ‘muslim’, but why aren’t they talking about the ‘christian’ who was arrested with a car full of ammo and potential explosives while on his way to a homosexual Pride Festival in California?

The ‘christian’ is also a classic case of somebody being recruited for a False Flag event: Young adult, disgruntled, ideological (Orlando shooter could be considered left wing since he was a registered democrat and Pride Festival attacker is being called right wing since he publicly ranted against democrats), criminal history or history of violent behavior (this also means law enforcement was aware of individual), disappears from family and friends before ‘event’.

But here’s something more specific and connected to the shooting in Florida: Both the Orlando shooter and the attempted Pride Festival attacker were security guards!

The Orlando shooter worked for evil G4S, the Pride Festival attacker worked for Universal Protection Services and Geek Squad City, he was arrested with his security badge.

Universal Protection Services is a division of Universal Services of America.  Universal Protection Services has been video-ed providing security against anticipated civil disorder in southern California. Universal Services of America’s HQ is in Santa Ana, California, the alleged homosexual Pride Festival attacker was arrested in Santa Monica, a 57 minutes drive (if traffic is good) from Santa Ana.

According to Universal Services of America’s website they provide security not only for commercial operations but for the U.S. National Park system.  In 2010, Security Systems News posted an article that hinted at a possible connection to G4S and a growing security industry trend: “Universal Protection Services was in early on the emerging trend of guard firms increasing their abilities in electronic security. As G4S…and Andrews, for example, have both lately emphasized their desires to better coordinate their guarding and electronic security operation….”

Geek Squad City is a computer repair operation run by Best Buy.  The company has been sued for using copyrighted software illegally. Geek Squad City employees have been caught on numerous occasions using customer’s computers to spy on them (especially female customers).  Unconfirmed reports say the alleged attempted Pride Festival attacker likened his job at Geek Squad City to working for the CIA.

Main stream news reports say he disappeared several days before he showed up in Santa Monica, even his parents in Indiana began calling his friends to find out where he went.  What’s interesting is how police caught him; reports say he was knocking on doors and windows in the early morning hours in a Santa Monica neighborhood, and concerned residents called police.  He said he was looking for a friend, he was officially arrested at 04:59 hours.

Another point that makes this a False Flag is that at the first official police conference the Santa Monica Police Chief straight up said the guy was going to “harm” the Pride Festival.  At the next conference she said she was mistaken, that the guy with a car full of ammo and explosives (five pounds of mixed Tannerite) was only on his way to the Pride Festival.

Operation Jupiter: G4S calls Jupiter home, right next to shooter’s non-profit!

12 June 2016 (14:51 UTC-07 Tango 01) 23 Khordad 1395/06 Ramadan 1437/08 Jia-Wu 4714

The FBI made a vague statement saying there were 911 calls which mentioned Islamic State.

The alleged shooter worked for G4S.  G4S has its U.S. HQ at Jupiter, Florida.  It’s about a 35 minute drive from a pro-Afghan non-profit known as Durand Jirga.  Durand Jirga is owned and operated by the alleged shooter’s father, established in 2010 in Port Saint Lucie.  2010-11 is the year G4S Wackenhut became G4S Secure Solutions and set up its new HQ next door in Jupiter, Florida.

Operation Jupiter is a term I came up with to refer to False Flag NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) warfare operations, after I discovered the U.S. Army’s JUPITR program while investigating the anthrax fiasco, and outbreaks of MERS and a new form of ebola.  It’s interesting that G4S has its U.S. HQ in a city called Jupiter.

False Flag: FBI admits it knew about Orlando shooter since 2013! ATF says gun purchase was legal!

12 June 2016 (13:23 UTC-07 Tango 01) 23 Khordad 1395/06 Ramadan 1437/08 Jia-Wu 4714

At press conference in Orlando, FBI reps admitted they had interviewed the alleged nightclub shooter several times since 2013!  They said it was because he was associated with other ‘terror’ suspects, and made threats against people, but for some reason they always concluded he was not a threat!

Outraged reporters at conference demanded to know why the shooter was not considered a threat, FBI rep would only comment that their investigation into the suspect had been officially closed and suspect was no longer “under surveillance”!

The ATF rep said the alleged shooter and employee of G4S legally purchased his weapons.

Confirmed reports that the alleged shooter at the homosexual dance club in Florida was employed by the evil British empire ‘christian’ run global security corporation known as G4S, (aka Rent-A-Thug, aka Shadow CIA).

G4S has more than 50,000 employees in the U.S. and its domestic headquarters is in Jupiter, Florida. Judicial Watch is filing a number of public records requests to get more information involving the arrangement between G4S and the government, specifically the transport of illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to other parts of the country.”
