U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings, 24 – 27 May 2015: New word for layoffs is ‘synergies’, “…and unfortunately for a lot of people today we’re realizing those synergies.”!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

California: California’s The PennySaver shutdown after 50 years of publication (there are many other independent ‘pennysaver’ publications throughout the U.S.)!  Employee Luann Benton told local news media “We had no idea the company was going to shutdown!”  It’s blamed on last year’s takeover by vulture capitalist Open Gate.   In San Bernardino, after 67 years the owners of The Mug restaurant announced it will shutdown in June. Loyal customers call it “a huge icon”. Local news reports said the owner would not explain why it was being shutdown, but employees explained that the area has been losing businesses for several years now, and that’s negatively impacted the number of people that check out the restaurant (in other words, sales have crashed).  The San Diego Union Tribune laid off 178 truck drivers, machinists, electricians, packagers circulation, sales, finance and pressroom workers!  Most employees said it came without warning.  It’s blamed on the takeover by Tribune Publishing, and resulting consolidation of operations to Los Angeles, at the same place the Los Angeles Times is published.  Company administrators tried to say they warned employees, but the problem is they called impending layoffs “synergies”: “When the two companies announced that they were coming together, we said at the time there were going to be some synergies, and unfortunately for a lot of people today we’re realizing those synergies.”-Russ Newton, president San Diego Union Tribune

Colorado: In Longmont, the legal drugs seller Walgreens announced it will shutdown its Main Street  store in June. Company administrators would only say “We are closing a number of stores that are underperforming around the country.” 

Illinois: Closeout retailer Tuesday Morning announced it is shutting down its Rockford store in July.

Louisiana:  In Metairie, a greedy landlord shutdown the 38 years old Tiffin Inn Pancake House. The property owner signed a new contract with a home decor chain store.

Maine: Catalyst Paper says it must “temporarily” layoff 50 employees.  A temporary layoff is basically what’s known as a furlough.  However, there’s a possibility the temp layoff could become permanent as company administrators said they will be “re-evaluating the situation throughout the summer”.  The company makes paper for magazines, and with all the magazine shutdowns orders are crashing.

Michigan: In Northville, the owners of Riffle’s Homestyle Kitchen announced it will shutdown in June. After 31 years they said they’ve finally realized you can’t provided quality food while competing against the low prices of ‘Big Box’ restaurants, so “Rather than cut corners or raise prices, we’ve elected to move on to other endeavors.”

Minnesota: Indiana based Steel Dynamics shutdown two pig iron ops, one in Hoyt Lakes and the other in Chisholm, at least 2-hundred jobs lost!  To give you an idea how long this so called ‘recovered’ economy is going to last, Steel Dynamics said the layoffs would be in effect for at least two years!  Minnesota’s Iron Range ops have seen employers eliminate more than 1-thousand jobs so far this year!  Obama Care medical device tax forcing Minnetonka based IMRIS (Innovative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems) to go chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  Reports say the company could be taken over by vulture capitalist Deerfield Management.

Mississippi: In Hamilton, chemical company Tronox will shutdown one of two sodium chlorate factories this year, 70 jobs lost.  The chemical is used in the paper industry and Tronox administrators say orders from paper companies have crashed.

New Jersey: Crashing & burning Atlantic City conducted a second round of school district cuts, laying off 75 more employees.  It was also revealed that more than 30 employees were forced to resign or retire early.  City administrators warned that a third round of layoffs is in the works.  Gerresheimer Glass announced it will shutdown its Millville factory by the end of the year, 1-hundred more jobs lost!   They already laid off 115 factory workers back in January! Administrators say the bad economy is forcing them to consolidate operations.

New York: In Jamaica, milk products distributor Derle Farms issued a shutdown WARN saying they are moving operations to Bathpage by September, 72 employees will be affected.  Evil financial advisor PricewaterhouseCoopers issued a WARN saying they are shutting down their Albany office in August, 38 jobs lost.

Ohio: Sweden based Johnson Metall announced it will shutdown its Lorain ops in July, at least 35 jobs lost.  Local news reports say at one point there were more than 1-hundred employees at the industrial parts factory.  Company administrators stated “Most recently, we’ve manufactured parts for wind turbines, and then the oil and gas industry. With the decline in both of those industries, and the lack of profitable replacement work, we have seen a significant decline in customer orders and are running the facility at a loss.”

Oregon: After 20 years the operators of Oregon Coast Periodontics announced it will shutdown in June, supposedly because the owner moved to Louisiana, which they called “unfortunate circumstances”.

Pennsylvania: In Deptford, the owners of 37 years old Freeway Diner shutdown on Memorial Day. The property is being re-purposed as a strip mall.

Texas: In San Antonio, aircraft customizer GDC Technics laid off 162 people!  Ironically company administrators blamed a “growing backlog” of work for forcing them to move to Fort Worth and eliminate the 162 positions!  In Aransas Pass, off shore oil rig fabricator Gulf Marine Fabricators warned it will eliminate 554 jobs!

Virginia: In Richmond, MARTIN’S Food Markets announced they will shutdown their 42 years old store on Staples Mill Road, in July. They claim “the store has not achieved performance goals.” MARTIN’s bought the store from Ukrop in 2010.  Sears Holdings announced the Hilltop Square Shopping Center Kmart will shutdown in July, 82 jobs lost.

Washington: In Spokane, without warning the 25 years old Olive Garden restaurant shutdown by owner Darden Restaurants, 80 jobs lost overnight. Local news reports said Darden Restaurants administrators accused the Spokane Olive Garden of failing to perform.

21 – 23 May 2015: “I was stunned! It just kind of happened…”

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

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.”

U.S. Food Crisis 08 June 2015: Albertsons Safeway suddenly closes Oregon & Washington stores! Property analyst calls B-S on the official reason!

“Today we are a $57 billion dollar company with 250,000 employees, the second biggest traditional grocery chain in America and the good news is we are headquartered in Boise.”-Bob Miller, CEO Albertsons-Safeway, 08 June 2015

Despite the optimism of the new Albertsons-Safeway, they’ve agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by three hedge funds who held stock in Safeway.   The three hedge funds combined will now get an additional $127-million USD for their shares of Safeway!

Cerberus controlled and AB Acquisition owned Albertsons-Safeway blaming an expired lease and a greedy property owner for the shutdown of its Beaverton, Oregon, grocery store.  The 20 years old store is scheduled to shutdown on the 20th.

Albertsons-Safeway administrators claimed “We were caught by surprise” by a rent increase, however, a commercial property analyst called Bull-Shit on that: “They are never caught by surprise! Every big retailer is in the real estate business whether they say so or not!”-Jeff Sackett, Capstone Partners

In Poulsbo, Washington, the Albertsons will shutdown on 05 July because it is “an underperforming store”, according to company administrators.  However, I discovered the real reason for the shutdown is because there is a Safeway just across the street!  60 jobs will be lost.

In Pennsylvania, the last Albertsons-Safeway owned Genuardi’s grocery store shutdown: “We’re the last store that will have the Genuardi banner out there because the lease has expired and the landlord and Safeway agreed to exit the market…..it just happened a little faster than we expected….”– John Vuotto, employee relations

To add insult to the injury of the Genuardi’s shutdown (and the ongoing shutdowns everywhere), Safeway claims they will hire 2-thousand temporary summer-time  employees across the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.: “This full-scale push to hire well beyond attrition is something we have not done for a very long time.”-Lisa Umali, eastern division human resources director

In Henderson, Nevada, a fire damaged a Albertsons-Safeway controlled Vons grocery store.  The store has re-opened.

In Arcata, California, a Safeway was evacuated after people began feeling faint.  Firefighters determined a relief valve for coolant failed and the refrigerant gas leaked into a generator room.

Colorado Springs Albertsons shutdown in March. Cerberus administrators say it has nothing to do with their takeover of Safeway-Vons: “That store basically has not been profitable for quite some time, despite the best efforts of our company and associates there and the location…..That’s why we’re closing it.”

Florida, U.S.A.: Albertsons issued a WARN saying they will shutdown their Clearwater store in May, 86 jobs lost.

Hawaii, U.S.A.: Drugs pusher Walgreens canceled plans to open a pharmacy in the Kauai Safeway: “As part of this process, Walgreens did a comprehensive financial reassessment of its plans to open a new store in Lihue on Kauai, and have concluded that it is not in the company’s best interests to move forward with opening a store in that location.”

Illinois: The Jewel-Osco HQ in Itasca was sold for $23.7-million. A local news report implied it was the result of the hostile takeover of Safeway by Albertsons.

Nevada, U.S.A.: The following grocery stores will become Haggen; Boulder City Vons, three Henderson Albertsons (don’t be surprised if at least one is closed), three Las Vegas Vons (don’t be surprised if at least one is closed).

Cerberus administrators made the exact same claim as in their Colorado Springs shutdown saying “The store has not been profitable for quite some time.” This is interesting because according to local news reports there are only two grocery stores in the city! In Lake Grove, the Albertsons being switch over to Haggen. Safeway shutting down their Clackamas regional office, 91 jobs lost by March. Safeway in Ashland, two in Klamath Falls and one in Springfield to become Haggen.

Pennsylvania: The last Safeway owned Genuardi’s grocery store shutdown, 40 jobs lost.

Texas, U.S.A.: Arlington Tom Thumbs shutting down in June, at least 45 jobs affected. In East Dallas, an Albertsons was renamed Minyard Sun Fresh Market. Reports said the grand opening was delayed due to problems switching over the cash register system. A second East Dallas Alberstons became Minyard Sun Fresh Market on 16 February. Only one of the three East Dallas Albertsons will remain Albertsons. One store manager said the changes are a direct result of the takeover of Safeway. Interestingly I found a report that said Cerberus swore there would be no name changes after the takeover of Safeway, but they failed to explain the sale of 12 stores to RLS Supermarkets (apparently the result of a court order). The Tom Thumb grocery stores in Bedford and Grapevine converting to Minyard Sun Fresh Market.

Washington, U.S.A.: The Poulsbo Albertsons shutting down in July,  60 jobs affected.  The Safeway in Spokane Valley shutdown in March, 60 jobs lost. Company administrators said it was not due to the takeover by Cerberus controlled Albertsons, but that the lease expired and it wasn’t worth renewing it. In Kirkland, reports that Goodwill thrift store is taking over the now vacant Albertsons store. Haggen took control of the Monroe Albertsons.

U.S. Job Losses & Store Closings, 18 – 20 May 2015: “healthcare services for our communities will be reduced and disrupted” ObamaCare layoffs escalate! Coal mine layoffs escalate! Evil foreclosure law firm now dead!

Incomplete list of publicly announced layoffs & shutdowns:

It’s been revealed that British empire United Kingdom based Rolls Royce is eliminating at least 3-thousand jobs around the World, including in the United States, due to crashing demand from the oil industry!

Alabama: In Brookwood, Walter Energy announced that 4-hundred coal mine employees will become unemployed within two months!   Administrators blame the low price of coal on the commodity markets.

Arizona: In Tucson, after 53 years West Boutique Florist shutdown, the owner lamented “I have been too long here. I tried to build this business, never made it big….I have a good relationship, good customers but my family didn’t want it anymore…”.   More trouble for Texas based Blue Bell ice cream maker.

Hawaii:  Obama Care forcing taxpayer funded Hawai’i Health Systems Corporation’s to eliminate 87 jobs in its East Hawai’i Region.  That includes Hilo Medical Center, Ka’u Hospital, and Hale Ho’ola Hamakua.  Administrators estimate that increasing costs and decreasing Obama Care reimbursements will cost the state hospital system $7-million USD in revenue losses for fiscal year 2016!  Administrators warned that Obama Care is actually restricting access to healthcare: “Some healthcare services for our communities will be reduced and disrupted….As a result of operational efficiencies and cost reductions we’ve already instituted, we are able to complete our current fiscal year intact, but those action are not enough to make up for the coming year’s shortfall….it saddens us that very capable people who help care for our community will lose their jobs.”-Dan Brinkman, interim CEO

North Carolina: California based NetApp announced that 2-hundred Research Triangle Park employees will lose their jobs! Local news reports said the announcement was a “surprise”.

Pennsylvania:  In Sunbury, 68 years old Pop Snyder’s restaurant shutdown.

Everything is being sold in an internet auction. Another Artfully Chocolate was shutdown in 2014.

Wisconsin: UW Madison announced that 434 jobs will be eliminated no thanks to Right to Work you over Scott Walker, and other ‘lawmakers’, plan to cut $300-million from the state university system (never mind that Walker and other ‘lawmakers’ are going to spend $250-million tax dollars to help build a $500-million sports stadium)!  Food processor ConAgra announced it is shutting down its Ripon cookie factory by the end of the year, at least 3-hundred jobs lost!

World War 3 False Flag: Pentagon’s anthrax math doesn’t add up! NATO member Turkey hit with anthrax!

04 June 2015 (13:41 UTC-07 Tango 01)/14 Kordad 1394/16 Sha’ban 1436/18 Ren-Wu (4th month) 4713

Turkish news reports say five people from a village near the Black Sea are infected with anthrax.  Local health administrators suspect it might be naturally occurring anthrax as all those infected worked in a cattle slaughterhouse.

My research shows that Turkey has the highest rate of anthrax cases in the World.  Most human cases are blamed on sick farm animals.

Turkey is a Member of U.S. led NATO.  Interestingly there was a jump in Turkish human anthrax cases after the 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States.  Most cases involved skin infections (anthrax can attack different parts of your body depending on the type of contact).   Treatment with penicillin seems to work best, but ampicillin has also been successfully used.

Inhalation of anthrax is the worst type of infection, most likely to cause death.

According to Russian based bacillusanthracis.org, anthrax can be spread through direct contact, through the air, and can even be spread by blood sucking insects.   The website also states that you can’t easily kill anthrax: “spores are still infectious after years and decades.”

At least 31 U.S. military personnel are now being treated for anthrax exposure in the latest conspiracy involving Utah’s Dugway Proving Ground. Three NATO member/Global Partners are also involved: Australia, Canada and Republic of Korea (Canada is a Member, Australia and RoK are Global Partners).

Here’s a problem for people who like to do math: The Obama regime says ten samples of live anthrax were shipped out of Utah to 51 laboratories in 17 U.S. states, plus Washington DC, and three countries.  Does that add up?

New deadlier anthrax spreads across the U.S.

U.S. ally Republic of Korea (South Korea, aka RoK) has quarantined more than 16-hundred people, and now has shutdown more than 230 schools, all because 35 people are infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).  At least three have died.

Unconfirmed news reports say the first infected Korean had returned from operating a farm equipment company on the Middle East island of Bahrain.  Most of the people now infected are healthcare workers who came into contact with the infected man.

So far there are no reports that can justify the lockdown of more than 16-hundred Koreans and 230 schools.

It should be noted that RoK has been in a declared state of Martial Law since 1972.  Martial Law was declared by U.S. backed  Park Chung-hee, who took power in a coup in 1961.  He established the Martial Law Command to enforce it.  The current president of RoK is Park Geun-hye, daughter of Park Chung-hee.

False Flag: Pro-vaccine government blames a single case of diphtheria on rejection of vaccines!

Vaccine pushing Spain is reporting its first case of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in 29 years, and health administrators blame a growing rejection of vaccination by the general public.

A six years old boy is infected.  Spanish administrators even begged Russia to send them the drug needed to treat him, as vaccine addicted Spain did not have the drug!

Diphtheria is spread by direct contact or through the air. It causes a condition known as Bull Neck, as it causes swelling of body parts.  The bacteria is assumed to have a 10% fatality rate.  In fact, it’s not that common of a disease with the UN World Health Organization reporting 4-thousand 7-hundred cases worldwide in 2013.

The Spanish Ministry of Health has officially labeled people who refuse vaccines as “irresponsible”.  90% of Spaniards are considered ‘vaccinated’.

ObamaCare Self-Destruction: Healthcare costs to skyrocket 80%! Six million U.S. citizens about to lose health insurance!

04 June 2015 (00:41 UTC-07 Tango 01)/14 Kordad 1394/16 Sha’ban 1436/18 Ren-Wu (4th month) 4713

“…it does look like premiums are heading upwards.  And it’s for a combination of factors….health care costs, which have been growing very slowly recently, are increasing faster, particularly for prescription drugs. And insurers are for the first time under Obamacare setting premiums based on actual experience with enrollees.  Up until now, they were guessing at how much health care people were using. …..in many cases people are ….sicker than insurers expected.”-Larry Levitt, interviewed on PBS News Hour

The soon to be concluded U.S. Supreme Court case, King v. Burwell, could result in 6.4-million U.S. citizens losing their taxpayer subsidized Obama Care (Affordable Care Act, ACA) health insurance.  The lawsuit states that the ACA does not provide for subsidies for those who can’t afford the outrageous insurance industry rates.

Currently $1.7-billion U.S. tax dollars are spent helping people get healthcare insurance, after Obama Care made it a crime not to have insurance.  Even more could be spent once the insurance industry jacks up their rates (something that was promised wouldn’t happen by supporters of Obama Care).

New studies by the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Commonwealth Fund, say insurance/healthcare costs will increase by as much as 80% in 2016!

Bottom line is that Obama Care clearly is not going to increase access to healthcare, but is actually restricting access, and is not reducing healthcare costs to individuals, but is actually increasing it.

ObamaCare job destruction “more change than we’ve seen in the past 75 years combined.”

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

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.”

World War 3 False Flag: New deadlier anthrax spreads across the U.S. from Mormon Utah! Canada has known since 2006, kept quiet until now!

03 June 2015 (15:13 UTC-07 Tango 01)/13 Kordad 1394/15 Sha’ban 1436/17 Ren-Wu (4th month) 4713

“We have concern that the inactivation procedures, when followed properly, are inadequate to kill all spores, and the U.S. government is developing an approach to securing such possible samples from misuse.”-Daniel Sosin, U.S. CDC

The Obama regime’s Department of Defense (DoD) now says at least 17 U.S. states have been hit by live deadly weaponized anthrax, sent with love from Dugway Proving Ground in the state of Utah.  Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work warned “We expect this number may rise.”  

DoD investigators also say that it appears the Army’s standard procedure of using radiation to kill live anthrax does not work on this new deadlier version, and that the test to ensure the anthrax is dead didn’t work either!

Here’s a conundrum; in order for military bio-weapons detectors to identify anthrax in the environment they actually need live samples inside the machines for them to function properly.

The states now confirmed to have received the new strain of bacillus anthracis are California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina plus Washington DC.

The British empire NATO member Canada now confirms that Utah has sent live anthrax to two Canadian laboratories as early as 2006.   What’s interesting is that the Public Health Agency of Canada claim they knew then that it was live anthrax, but said nothing about it until now.  They add that they still have the live anthrax.

The Canadian labs involved are the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg (2006 shipment), and the Defence Research and Development Suffield Research Centre in Alberta (two shipments in 2007).

And what timing: The U.S. FDA is looking at a new treatment for anthrax.  U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing a new drug called Anthim.  The FDA has given Fast Track development status to the drug, which was developed by the Biological Advanced Research and Development Authority.
