Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 23-24 September 2013. Texas hit hard! More bank contractions killing more jobs! Hospital official reveals that Obama Care is meant to kill jobs and stop health care!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

Alabama: In Pelham, after 50 years Fran’s Restaurant shut down.

California: In San Diego, Coca Cola laid off 92 bottling employees.  The soda pop maker says they plan on closing the bottling factory off state Route 94 at 47th Street.  In San Bernardino, Ryder Logistics shut down, 108 jobs lost!  Software maker Intuit, laid off at least 47 people across the Golden State.

Georgia: The non-profit Georgia Heritage Center for the Arts shut down.  In Thomasville, after 156 years Jerger Jewelers shut down!

Hawaii: Toys N’ Joys shut down after 30 years in business.

Illinois: In Woodridge, Sports Authority shut down. Christian Saint James laid off 125 people at its Chicago Heights and Olympia Fields hospital campuses.  Hospital officials directly blame Obama Care: “Under the new law, institutions such as Franciscan St. James are, in fact, encouraged to keep patients out of the hospital, and are penalized for certain hospital re-admissions.”-Franciscan Saint James press release

Kentucky: In Louisville, model train store L&N Trains and Things shut down after 32 years. The owner blames health problems (just in time for Obama Care).

Michigan: Too Big to Jail JP Morgan Chase shutting down their Detroit office.  367 jobs lost!

Nevada: What housing market recovery?  In Las Vegas, Too Big to Jail CitiMortgage killing at least 760 jobs!  At least one thousand people will lose their jobs across the U.S., it’s part of the banking industry’s contracting mortgage ops, due to crashing demand for new home loans.

New York: Christian Saint James Mercy Hospital shut down their psyc unit. Hospital officials said Obama Care will not fund such in-house psychiatric care operations!

North Carolina: Elizabeth City State University laid off 46 employees.  The school’s budget is short $5-million USD, caused by taxpayer funding cuts and declining student enrollment. In Winston, The Screaming Rooster restaurant shut down after only three years in business.  The corporate owner, WSRooster, went bankrupt.

Ohio: What housing market recovery?   JP Morgan Chase killing another 440 jobs in Columbus, Westerville and Gahanna.  The Too Big to Jail bank also closed an office in Cleveland, killing 31 jobs.  It’s part of the banking industry’s contracting mortgage ops, due to crashing demand for new home loans.  What automotive industry recovery?  In Toledo, Chrysler laid off 500 Jeep factory workers!  Chrysler officials say the new car market is so slow that they’ve overproduced the new Jeep Cherokee, and have to halt production!

Oklahoma: The Christian God can’t stop the Christian controlled Chesapeake Energy from laying off another 86 employees. This is apparently in addition to the 2-thousand who will become jobless, and after the gas company fired all their in-house Christian chaplains!

Tennessee: The only medical clinic in the town of Trezevant, shut down.  McKenzie Regional Hospital operated the West Carroll Medical Clinic and decided they could not continue paying the rent under Obama Care!

Texas: Cardell Cabinetry issued a WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification), saying 903 people will become jobless!   The company is now under investigation for violating the WARN law, apparently they closed down their factory before issuing the WARN!  Going somewhere? Travcelocity laid off 14 employees in Southlake, and warned more layoffs were coming. The layoffs are connected to Travelocity’s deal with Expedia. What automotive industry recovery?  In Houston, Gulf States Toyota laid off 85 people at its vehicle processing center.  Company officials say the bad U.S. economy has forced them to change their “business objectives”.  In Fort Worth, tax sucker Bell Helicopter laid off more than 300 employees and contractors!  Company officials blame it on their main source of revenue, the unstable U.S. government!  In Austin, Colorado based Arrow Electronics shut down their office, laying off 60 people.

Wisconsin: Milio’s Sandwiches in Wauwatosa and Waukesha shut down.  Local news media says no explanation from company officials.  In 2012 the owners claimed they were going to expand over the next five years.  In Madison, renewable energy company, Virent, laid off 35 employees.

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.

Norovirus: Putting the Fast in your Fast Food? Japanese hotels hit hard! No standardized reporting in U.S.! Stay away from hospitals!

02 January 2014 (01:09 UTC-07 Tango)/29 Safar 1435/12 Dey 1392/02 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

California, U.S.A.: In Walnut Creek, a Rehab center is the center of a tummy bug outbreak. At least 30 staff and patients have been sickened. Public health officials say the rehabilitation center took quick action, including notifying local government officials.

Connecticut, U.S.A.: Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford reporting an uptick in cases.  Doctors indicated the problem is that people are confusing the symptoms with influenza.  Norovirus causes vomiting and diarrhea for several days.  This is not caused by influenza.

Florida, U.S.A.: The Royal Caribbean ship Oasis of the Seas reported an outbreak of gastroenteritis. They did not indicate how many passengers were sick.

Iowa, U.S.A.: Several grade schools have been warning parents of norovirus cases.

Kansas, U.S.A.: The state Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Lodging is investigating Jimmy John’s sandwich delivery/restaurant for spreading norovirus.  At least 110 people are sick.  State officials say employees of Jimmy John’s are helping with state investigators. This case follows an Ecoli case in Colorado, which was traced back to a Denver Jimmy John’s, back in November 2013.

Michigan, U.S.A.:  Doctors in Genesee County are reporting upticks in tummy bug cases.  Doctors pointed out there is no vaccine for norovirus, but they erroneously told infected people to wash their hands without specifying what they should wash their hands with. (it makes a big difference, see below)

Missouri, U.S.A.: Doctors at Barnes-Jewish Hospital warning of increasing stomach bug cases.

Nevada, U.S.A.: Back in December at least five Las Vegas High Schools had to be scrubbed because of suspected norovirus outbreaks: “Your child’s school conducted extra cleaning today following a report that recent visitors to campus contracted the norovirus while visiting Las Vegas. While the source of the norovirus is not known, we wanted to be proactive and take extra efforts to sanitize our facilities.”-automated robo-call sent to parents

North Carolina, U.S.A.: Health and Human Service’s Department warning that the version of norovirus (aka Norwalk virus, Caliciviridae, viral gastroenteritis, stomach flu, tummy bug, vomiting bug) spreading in their state is GII.4 Sydney.  In the past, main streamer TV news have reported that a small fraction of people who get sick will die, but in recent years the number of people who die from norovirus have shot up.

South Carolina, U.S.A.: Despite warnings from North Carolina, South Carolina’s Department of Health and Environmental Control doesn’t expect norovirus cases to skyrocket this winter.  That’s because, so far, local health care centers are not reporting any number of cases that are considered above ‘normal’ for winter.

Wisconsin, U.S.A.: Madison and Dane County officials reporting “sporadic” cases. Epidemiologist Amanda Kita-Yarbro explained that there is no U.S. regulation requiring the public tracking or notification of norovirus cases, so the actual number of cases is probably higher than we think!

Ireland: The National Immunisation Advisory Committee is pushing for mandatory oral rotavirus vaccine for infants. Rotavirus also causes gastroenteritis.  Keep in mind this panel of ‘experts’ are also pushing to vaccinate homosexual men against the HPV, which is considered a cause of cervical cancer in women!

Tochigi Prefecture, Japan:  118 people sickened at the Kinugawa Gyoen Hotel in Nikko City.  Health officials say that besides the 118 people sickened, eleven hotel kitchen personnel were found to have norovirus in their bodies.  You can carry norovirus without knowing it.  Apparently the hotel customers got sick directly from the kitchen personnel, because investigations found that it didn’t matter what type of food the customers ate.

England, United Kingdom:  Weston General Hospital reporting a suspected outbreak of vomiting bug.  Visitation is restricted, because of a “high number of cases”.   Several hospitals restricted visitation in Hampshire County, due to outbreaks.  And in Lancaster, ward 34 at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary is closed to visitation.

North Wales, United Kingdom: Reports say Wrexham Maelor Hospital is still in lockdown because of a vomiting bug outbreak.  New patients are being sent to other health centers.

Scotland, United Kingdom: The latest reports say at least seven wards in four hospitals were lockdown due to outbreaks.

If you notice, most norovirus outbreaks in the United Kingdom take place in hospitals.

The U.K. Food Standards Authority want sick people to tell them what color their throw up is.  It’s a new twitter program that officials think will help them track specific tummy bug infections.

Norovirus is a surface contact bug, meaning you pick it up by touching or eating it.  I still see reports from local U.S. news media connecting norovirus prevention to flu vaccines, as I wrote last year, it is not influenza and there is still no vaccine for fast evolving RNA norovirus.  The only ‘treatment’ is to keep the sick person hydrated.

Exotic anti-biotic soaps can’t kill norovirus, or any other virus for that matter, because anti-biotics are only for bacteria.  Despite that, even hand ‘sanitizers’ made with alcohol can’t totally get rid of norovirus.   Guess what apparently works: According to the U.S. CDC old fashioned hand soap is best.  Consumer Reports says to leave the soap on your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.  Also, in public restrooms use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door, do not touch surfaces with your bare hands after washing them (time to wear those Michael Jackson gloves you’ve been hiding).

Wash household surfaces with bleach.

The worse thing is that you can be infected and not have any symptoms.  An infected person can spread norovirus, yet not feel sick themselves. If you think you might be infected do not cook food for other people. People recovering from traditional symptoms of norovirus can continue spreading the bug for days after feeling better (some reports say weeks).

Western New Year & Christianity nothing more than continuation of ancient Grain King sacrifice ritual!

01 January 2014 (04:34 UTC-07 Tango)/28 Safar 1435/11 Dey 1392/01 Gui-Chou (12th month) 4711

The western new year has arrived.  A common graphical depiction is that of old Father Time turning things over to a baby New Year.  This is nothing more than the most ancient Grain King sacrifice ritual.

Thousands of years ago small agricultural societies would actually sacrifice their king (today we would call those ancient kings, village elders), then bury him as a piece of grain to ensure a good crop for the New Year.  A new young king was appointed for the rest of the year.

Meat eating societies also had a similar ritual.  The Japanese Ainu would make offerings to the head of the bear they killed, in fact the dead bear’s head sat at the head of the tribe’s feast hall.  North American’s would worship the salmon and buffalo.  The myths basically say the people were starving, then god, or a god, would appear and offer to sacrifice itself in order to save the people. In return the people had to honor and remember the god.

The Americans also had a Grain King myth about Maize.  A people were starving, god appeared in the form of a man and told the virgin princess to cut off his head and bury it.  The buried head instantly grew into a life saving corn stalk that provided enough grain to feed the people!

In Meso America, one story says the Earth was being destroyed tortuously.  A god felt sorry for the Humans on the Earth and offered to sacrifice itself to save them.  The Sun became the everlasting symbol of the god’s blood covenant to bring salvation to the Humans.  However (there’s always a catch), in return the Humans had to remember and rejuvenate that god, typically with Human blood.

Around the World the honoring of such god sacrifice took many forms from simple dance rituals or prayers, to animal/human sacrifice.  (remember the story of Cain and Able; god wasn’t impressed with the farmer brother who offered the sacrifice of his crops, god was pleased only with the animal sacrifice of the hunter/herder brother: “The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor.”-Genesis 4:4-5 New International Version)

It is also interesting to note that the more densely populated a society was, the more likely they believed in such religious crap!  This is why the Middle East is the considered the birth place of the World’s biggest religions.  Thousands of years ago the Middle East (Fertile Crescent) was literally the New York City of the ancient World.

The western New Year is based on the Catholic created Gregorian calendar system.  It is a solar calender, and to be sure there were other solar calender systems before it came along.  The Gregorian system modified the Julian system in Gregorian year 1582, 15-hundred years after Jesus of Nazareth died (this is one of many reasons why today’s western Christian holiday celebrations are incorrect, like Jesus being born in December when the Bible clearly states his parents went to Jerusalem/Al Quds for the census, which took place during summer).

The Bible is clever in that whom ever came up with it knew how to combine the agricultural and meat eater sacrifice rituals, to trick as many people as possible.  Jesus of Nazareth became the god that saves the starving people by sacrificing himself.

This motif appears in several different versions in the Bible’s New Testament:  Jesus feeds a crap load of people with only a few fish (meat eaters) and few loaves of bread (Grain King).  Jesus turns water into wine (Grain King).  Jesus commands his followers to “drink my blood” and “eat my flesh”!

Holy cannibalism Batman! This is a clear human sacrifice motif.  And don’t think human sacrifice didn’t place at the Temple of David (aka Second Temple, before that, Temple of Solomon/First Temple), it did!   The Romans destroyed the Temple in the approximate Gregorian year 70AD (about 76 years after Jesus was born, he was actually born about the year 7BC), even Titus Flavius Josephus (a Jewish-Roman scholar) implies the destruction of the Temple was god’s punishment for past evils: “…for that House, God had for certain long ago doomed it to the fire; and now that fatal day was come…”-The Wars of the Jews 6.4.5 249-253  (now realize the fundamentalist Jews want to bring back the Temple and all its ancient bloody rituals)

The Bible wasn’t written until several hundred years after Jesus of Nazareth died!  The compilations of the New (Christian) Testament began in the 4th Century after his death.  The compilations of the Old (Hebrew) Testament began even later in the 9th Century AD!  Whomever was behind the creation of the Bible was genius, because not only does Jesus cover the bloody sacrifice ritual by commanding his followers to eat and drink him, but it combines both Grain King and meat eater motifs: The wine and bread represent the Grain King, but they in turn represent the meat (blood and flesh) of Jesus! (Cain and Abel united!)

(the Bible has been re-edited and translated many times since its creation, with dozens of version available, which might explain why so many ‘christians’ disagree with each other, as they did before the Bible was compiled)

When are the commoner masses going to wake up to this elitist control freak scam? Happy New Year!

International, U.S.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 02-05 December 2013: More proof Obama wants to stay in Afghanistan! U.S. Militiamen get awards for valor, and prison time? Security deal part of Title 10!

Badghis Province: In Bala Morghab District, a major battle between Afghan National Army (ANA) and Mujahideen lasted three days, and killed at least 100 people.

Ghazni Province: In Deh Yak District, a tribal elder was assassinated as he left a Mosque.  The cops have no idea who did it.

Helmand Province: In Marjah District, two people killed, 10 wounded after a bomb exploded.  Nobody is taking credit for the bombing.  Then a second explosion in the same district killed one cop and wounded one cop.  Also in the same district, villagers report that U.S. led forces kidnapped two people during an Israeli style home invasion.

Kandahar Province: In Panjwai District, four people killed after a motorcycle ran over a landmine.  In Maiwand District, a massive suicide attack on a U.S.-NATO-ISAF convoy.  Local cops report as many as 30 people killed.  The convoy was stopped at a busy market place when the attack took place. No comment from NATO-ISAF.

Kunar Province: In Manogi District, a U.S.-NATO-ISAF drone strike killed at least five people. Of course U.S.-NATO-ISAF officials say those killed were “militants”.

Maidan Wardak Province: In Nerkh District, four cops killed, 19 wounded by suicide bomber.  The bomber targeted the district’s police HQ.

Nangarhar Province: A motorcycle bomb exploded near a local university, wounding seven people.  Police arrested the owner of the motorcycle, who is also a student at the university.  In Ghani Khail District, Mujahideen claim they killed two U.S.-NATO-ISAF personnel in an ambush on a military convoy.  In Bati Kot District, villagers say an Israeli style home invasion resulted in three brothers being shot and killed.

Zabul Province: In Arghandab District, the district police chief and six cops were wounded by an explosion.  Three cops were killed.

Transparency International (TI) list Afghanistan as being tied for first place for corruption.  North Korea and Somalia are also tied for top places for corruption.  Officials with TI point out that Afghanistan is a major failure as the U.S. led West has poured trillions in taxpayer money, and military domination into a country with a thousand year history of anarchy (localized self rule, no centralized government system).

The U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) blames the U.S. Department of Defense for failing to provide oversight for the billions in lost taxpayer dollars sent to Afghanistan!

NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said NATO would withdraw all its troops from Afghanistan if President Hamid Karzai does not sign the Obama regime’s bilateral security agreement.  But wait, isn’t that what most people in Afghanistan want?  Isn’t that what most people in the United States and Europe want?   Why is Obama pushing to stay when he promised to leave?

The U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, said the Obama regime will except the signature of the Afghan Defense Minister on the Obama regime’s so called security deal.  This is because President Karzai continues to complain about the details of the deal, and he has repeatedly stated he would rather the U.S. forces would leave Afghanistan!  However, Kerry’s ploy backfired when Karzai banned any minister from signing the deal: “President Karzai wants an absolute end to the military operations on Afghan homes and a meaningful start to the peace process, and we are certain that the Americans can practically do that within days or weeks. As long as these demands are not accepted, President Karzai will not authorize any minister to sign it!”-Aimal Faizi, spokesman for President Hamid Karzai

The Obama regime’s security deal with Afghanistan is actually part of the new Title 10.  This involves the role of the U.S. military with NATO members, and affiliated non-members. The New Jersey National Guard has already gone through Title 10 training in Germany.  This training is planned for every month through to the end of 2014 (when U.S.-NATO is supposedly going to leave Afghanistan).  Title 10 is all part of creating a greater NATO: “They are mainly concerned with Title 10 training……to make sure U.S. Army units are well integrated with our NATO and multinational partners….The training is exactly in harmony with what we want to attain in the whole of NATO.”-Colonel Thomas S. Matsel, Joint Multinational Training Command

Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 294th Infantry Regiment, from the U.S. territory of Guam, were told they will be going home one month early.  At least three Guam militiamen were killed in Afghanistan.

Army National Guard’s 141st Military History Detachment, from the U.S. state of Washington, are in Afghanistan to compile an official history for the Center for Military History in Washington DC.

In the U.S. state of North Dakota, four militiamen from the 1919th Contingency Contracting Team returned from Afghanistan and Qatar.  Also, 40 militiamen with the 814th Medical Company deployed to Afghanistan.

A member of the Oklahoma Army National Guard, now serving in Afghanistan, is asking the Tulsa courts to hold off on a grand jury trial until he gets back from combat!  The militiaman used to be a Owasso City councilman, but along with other city officials is being accused of malfeasance.  The former councilman says he is involved with top secret heliborne ops and there is no way he can end his tour early.  Attempts to use the internet or social media to get his testimony in court have failed.

A member of the Maryland Army National Guard is wanted by the FBI.  The militiaman is in Afghanistan, but his civilian job is being a Baltimore City police officer.  The FBI says the cop by day, and militiaman on weekend drills, is connected to the Black Guerrilla Family gang.  It’s all part of the FBI’s investigation of mass cop corruption at the Baltimore Jail!  The FBI is working to have the militiaman extradited back to Baltimore.

The National Guard from the U.S. states of Mississippi and Montana, are taking part in so called anti-drug ops with the government of Kyrgyzstan.  They claim they are stopping the drugs coming out of U.S. controlled Afghanistan.  It’s part of the 2011 DOD Counternarcotics and Global Terrorism Strategy.

Air National Guard’s 106th Rescue Wing, 103rd Rescue Squadron, from the U.S. state of New York, presented six militia-airmen with medals of valor: “On Dec. 10, 2012 the six 103rd Rescue Squadron Airmen were the Guardian Angel team assigned to man two HH-60 Pavehawk rescue helicopters….A friendly platoon (about 25 Soldiers) had been ambushed and the four Soldiers….were very badly injured.The friendly unit was still under Taliban fire…..the Air Guardsmen…..treated three patients with gunshot and shrapnel wounds and also stabilized a gravely wounded American Soldier who was missing his legs and an arm….called in support from the HH-60 Pavehawk helicopters and a pair of Army Kiowa Warrior OH-58 helicopter gunships….evacuated back to the combat surgical hospital at Kandahar Airfield. Unfortunately the triple amputee….died…”

Influenza

Influenza H1N1: Nurse fired for refusing vaccine, and not being religious! Mass vaccinations in Canada! H1N1 a fast killer of 20 year olds! Testosterone counteracts vaccines! Proof it’s too late for flu shots anyway!

31 December 2013 (01:40 UTC-07 Tango)/27 Safar 1435/10 Dey 1392/29 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention says influenza is now widespread in the states of Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.  Four children have died.

Alabama, U.S.A.: Health officials in Madison County report spiking cases.  They also report lack of Tamiflu anti-viral treatments.  However, they say “…it starts to present itself with just generally not feeling good all over, then the fever will hit. The minute that fever hits, go get treatment….” They also say “…wash your hands, get proper rest, don’t share drinks or towels…..Make sure your body is hydrated.”   Doctors in Huntsville are reporting record number of at least 20 cases per day: “For me it is a record because we have been here 10 years, and my earliest case was December 8th. This year it was December 3rd. Normally influenza is a January/February sort of thing, so it is very early and we are seeing plenty.”– Marshall Plotka, Phoenix Emergency Care

Alaska, U.S.A.: Health officials admit flu cases are spiking, but they don’t have hard-n-fast numbers, due to no laws requiring such info.  Alaskan news media reported that on 29 December 2013 there is supposed to be new laws in effect that require public reporting of adult deaths related to influenza.

Illinois, U.S.A.: Hospitals in Chicago are reporting hundreds of new cases since Xmas day.

Louisiana, U.S.A.: More than 16-hundred cases reported, so far.

Massachusetts, U.S.A.:  State health officials say H1N1 is now the dominate flu strain in the Bay State.

Michigan, U.S.A.: Department of Community Health reports one infant killed by H1N1.  Official flu activity level raised from Local to Regional.

Minnesota, U.S.A.:  More than 100 people are hospitalized with H1N1.  Officials are expecting cases to “increase”.

Missouri, U.S.A.: A 29 years old man with autism, died shortly after being diagnosed with H1N1.  His mother, Alene Porter, said by the flu was fast acting: “He had a cough and a low-grade fever and he came up to me and said, ‘Mom, I don’t feel well.'”  He was taken to the hospital, and died.  Health Department reporting more than 12-hundred cases just in the Northwest Region of the state.  Six times higher than the five year average!

Montana, U.S.A.: Richland County Health Department confirmed the first flu cases of the 2013-14 season.  Yellowstone County reporting that ten people are hospitalized with flu, double the number from the same time last year.

Nevada, U.S.A.: Washoe County Health District reporting a spike in H1N1 cases. Health officials there admit they have no ‘official’ standardized flu testing or reporting guidelines, and that they literally guess at how many people die from flu, by using U.S. CDC estimates.

North Dakota, U.S.A.: Health officials report that 14% of all confirmed flu cases are H1N1.  New confirmed flu cases jumped from 86 on 14 December to 165 on 21 December.

Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: A pregnant nurse lost her job for refusing to get the flu shot.  She stated that it could cause her to miscarry, and that vaccines have unknown proprietary ingredients.  She also pointed to studies that show vaccines do not help pregnant women! Basically she was refusing the flu shot for personal reasons that were based on scientific analysis. But here’s the real outrage, if she had refused for religious reasons she would still have her job: “I have taken care of patients who have become paralyzed after having the shot and if that can happen to a full grown person who knows what can happen to a growing fetus. It is frustrating that someone can say ‘religiously I can’t do this’ but I can say I’m not comfortable about this for serious medical reasons and I lose my job!”-Dreonna Breton

South Dakota, U.S.A.: Health officials report a jump in cases in the cities of Rapid City and Yankton.  They are perplexed as to why there is a spike in cases just in those two locations, and not uniformly throughout the state.

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Doctors are reporting increased cases, 95% being H1N1!  In Willette, a 36 years old pastor died from H1N1.  His wife, who is a physicians assistant, begged him to go to the hospital but he refused.  Doctors point out that some influenzas can take you down within 48 hours of infection.

Texas, U.S.A.: A teenager in Houston is the latest victim.  Health officials are not making public any further info. At least 13 people have died from flu in the city of Houston.  In Beaumont, at least five H1N1 deaths.  A Fox news TV station is reporting that many Texas families are deliberately avoiding this year’s flu vaccine.  In Tatum, a 14 years old girl was taken down fast by H1N1.  She was taken to the hospital after getting sick, but she only got worse and was life flighted to Dallas Children’s Hospital.  She’s in critical condition and needs a lung bypass.  There are at least 22-hundred lab confirmed flu cases in Texas, so far.

Alberta, Canada: Officials with Alberta Health Services report 90% of flu cases are H1N1, two people have died, more than 100 hospitalized.  Health officials are begging people to get the flu shot, and have begun mass vaccinations.  South Calgary Health Centre reporting more than 274 confirmed cases of flu.

Manitoba, Canada: Health officials say 80% of flu cases are H1N1.  But they are not freaking out about flu shots like other health departments.  Manitoba officials say H1N1 is now the “normal” flu strain among their residents.

Ontario, Canada: Thunder Bay District Health reports two people dead from H1N1.  Flu cases have almost doubled in one week.

Saskatchewan, Canada: The Ministry of Health reporting increasing flu cases, and want residents to get vaccinated.

The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital says their latest study shows your body’s own PD-1 protein makes you sick.  It’s aka as the Programmed Cell Death Receptor (encoded within the human PDCD1 gene).  It prevents your own T-cells from protecting you from influenza. Scientists blocked PD-1’s associated ligand PDL-1 in mice, and found they could fight off flu infections easily, as a result.  The PDL-1 block was administered in a nose spray.

A new study says the testosterone levels in men prevent vaccines from working: “….we identified a cluster of genes involved in lipid biosynthesis and previously shown to be up-regulated by testosterone that correlated with poor virus-neutralizing activity in men. Moreover, men with elevated serum testosterone levels and associated gene signatures exhibited the lowest antibody responses to TIV. [Trivalent Influenza Vaccine]” 

Why is the main streamer news media continually telling us “It’s not too late to get the flu shot”? Remember that nurse in Pennsylvania who refused on scientific grounds to take the flu shot? Turns out the hospital chain she worked for had set a deadline for all employees to get vaccinated by 15 November!  This implies that you’re too late if you get a flu shot now!

Business/Economics, U.S.

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 20-22 September 2013. Papa John’s going down? Obama Care killing home health care services! Yet again, thousands of people losing their jobs!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

Blackberry now says at least 45-hundred jobs will be killed!  Blackberry is being forced to restructure due to crashing sales.

Alabama: More coal mine shut downs.  Rocky Mountain Mining and Twin Pines laid off a combined 113 people!

California: Tax sucker Boeing laid off 51 people across the not so Golden State. In San Francisco, John Muir Health begging 212 employees to voluntarily quit! This is on top of the 540 employees that are being laid off!!!  CEO, Cal Knight, referred to Obama Care when he said “In this new health care environment, our current costs are not sustainable in the long run.”  In San Jose, Tico’s Tacos shut down after 56 years in business.  In Sacramento, eight Papa John’s take-n-bake pizza places shut down without notice!  50+ employees will not get their final paychecks (I’ve experienced that). Company officials said only that it was due to “…circumstances beyond our control…”  (In my case the circumstances beyond my employer’s control was the state of Idaho seizing all her assets, for failure to pay taxes/fines, then telling we employees there was nothing left over to pay us with. In other words the state killed our jobs and took our money! And conveniently none of us qualified for unemployment under the state’s draconian Right to Work you over unemployment compensation program) In El Centro, International Paper shut down.  110 jobs lost!  

Florida: In Jacksonville, cigar maker Swisher International laid off 250 people!  Company officials blamed government regulations for their decision to move ops to Dominican Republic.  In Orlando, Darden Restaurants laid off 85 people at the HQ.  Company officials said they need to save $50-million USD per year!

Illinois: In Kewanee, Charitable Resource Foundation shut down. 60 jobs lost.

Indiana: In Carmel, Frontier Communications laid off 54 employees.

Massachusetts: Harvard Pilgrim Health Care laid off 65 employees. CEO Eric Schultz blamed Obama Care for “….the changing health care environment.”  Say, isn’t Obama Care based on Romney Care, and Romney Care was created for Massachusetts?

Michigan: In Berkley, Hiller’s grocery store shut down. Company officials blamed “…many factors…” including the cost of renovation and lack of parking. Basically, the bad economy doesn’t make it worth putting more money into the store.

Minnesota: Crystal Care Home Health Services now bankrupt.  Local news reports said employees are working without pay! The health care provider is accused of ripping off Medicaid.  800 employees affected!

Missouri: Bankrupt furniture maker, Furniture Brands/Thomasville, announced they will shut down all corporate owned stores!

New Jersey: The South Brunswick YMCA shut down.

New York: In Wappingers Falls, Southeastern Container shut down. 31 jobs lost.

North Carolina: In Smithfield, electronics maker AB Interconnect shutting down a factory.  70 jobs lost.

Oklahoma: In Tulsa, Steve’s Sundry Books & Magazines shutting down on 31 December 2013.  The owner said the timing of the lease expiring and declining book sales seems to indicate she needs “…to begin the next chapter in my life.”

Rhode Island: The Providence Journal laid off about 30 employees. Revenues continue to drop.

South Carolina: In York, Stacy’s Garden Center shut down after 39 years of business.  It’s blamed on ‘big box’ competition.

South Dakota: In Huron, tax sucker Raven Aerostar shutting down.  75 jobs lost.  Their contracts to supply U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan ended.

Texas: In Edinburg, International Paper-Edinburg East Container Plant shut down.  105 jobs lost!

Utah: In Ogden, after 40 years Gardiner’s Sew & Quilt shut down. “We just gotta retire. The years have caught up with us.”-Kurt Gardiner, 80 something years old owner

Washington: Sprint laying off 161 people! Company officials blame it on their takeover of Clearwire.  Saint John Medical Center has reduced the hours of its nursing staff.  No, it’s not to make the working conditions better, it’s blamed on declining customers and reduced reimbursements from Obama Care.  Saint John is owned by PeaceHealth Columbia Network, which recently eliminated 500 jobs at its various hospitals!

West Virginia: In Moundsville, TeleTech shut down.  258 jobs lost!

Wisconsin: In Waunakee, Owens & Minor Distribution shut down. 70 jobs lost.

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.

Exceptional Failed State: Sears and Kmart closing in Michigan! Disney disses Pakistan, could affect Sears & Kmart!

30 December 2013 (12:22 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Safar 1435/09 Dey 1392/28 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

Somehow I missed this one: According to a report out of Bloomfield Township (Bloomfield Hills), Michigan, the local Kmart and Sears are closing.

The Kmart had a name change at the beginning of the year, to KDollar.  Sears Holdings’ experiment into ‘dollar’ stores failed, because the store shut down this month.   Reports said the closing sale discounts were being mirrored at the Bloomfield Township Sears, which implies it is shutting down too.  The Sears and KDollar share the same retail property address.

The Disney corporation has decided to stop buying clothing made in Pakistan.  Disney’s subsidiary, Marvel, is expected to do the same.  The Walt Disney Company has adopted a new Permitted Sourcing Countries list for its slave wage labor made products, and decided Pakistan doesn’t meet their new guidelines.

Pakistani officials believe the new Disney created Permitted Sourcing Countries list will be adopted by U.S. retailers like Sears and Kmart, which could mean a crash in cheap exports from Pakistan by as much as $200-million USD per year.

I find this hypocritical of Disney, and maybe even political, as when you view Disney’s list of “permitted” sources you’ll find countries that are far worse than Pakistan.  Also, Pakistan has been spending billions of dollars, and thousands of lives, helping the U.S. fight the so called War on Terror.  Yet, U.S. officials and U.S. news media are constantly making Pakistan to look like the bad guy.  Is this move by Disney under the guise of “…safe, inclusive, and respectful workplaces…” (soon to be adopted by many other U.S. companies) just a false flag op to crash Pakistan’s economy?   After all, where are the most problematic clothing factories right now?  Bangladesh, not Pakistan.  (Disney swears it does not do business in Bangladesh, yet after every major clothing factory fire there investigators always find clothing with Disney labels on them)

Maybe the real reason Disney is cutting off Pakistan, as a source of products, is that the U.S. (and European) retail economy sucks so bad they just can’t sell all those slave wage labor made products?

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Homeless people used as slave labor by Yakuza! Decontamination efforts are bogus? Don’t eat the fish! California getting hit with radiation! NSA coverup?

30 December 2013 (04:15 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Safar 1435/09 Dey 1392/28 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“The construction industry is 90% run by gangs.”-Hayashi Fuminori, construction employment manager who recently paid a $5-thousand USD fine for skimming wages

“Many homeless people are just put into dormitories, and the fees for lodging and food are automatically docked from their wages. Then at the end of the month, they’re left with no pay at all!”-Aoki Yasuhiro, Christian homeless advocate

An investigation by Reuters found massive contractor corruption and crime, regarding the ongoing disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuke facility.  At least 56 subcontractors are suspicious as they have not been certified by the Ministry of Construction.  At least five companies have no public records!

The former advisor to ex-Prime Minister Kan Naoto has implied that the whole ‘decontamination’ effort at Fukushima Daiichi is bogus: “There are many unknown entities getting involved in decontamination projects. There needs to be a thorough check on what companies are working on what, and when. I think it’s probably completely lawless if the top contractors are not thoroughly checking.”-Igarashi Takayoshi, Hosei University

This is not the first time Yakuza were involved with Fukushima Daiichi.  Back in 2011 I wrote about Tokyo Electric Power Company blaming many of their problems on Yakuza supplied workers.

The Japanese government is now authorizing the “throwaway” workers to be kept inside No Go radiation zones 24 hours a day.  Government officials claim it’s the only way they can speed up so called decontamination efforts for towns and cities inside the radiation danger zones.

This doesn’t make sense because a person can be safely exposed to radiation for a specific amount of time, so keeping them locked down in a radiation area for 24 hours will only speed up their exposure rate.  It will only increase the demand for cheap (or even free) “throwaway” workers!

A man in San Francisco, California U.S.A., is using a hand held geiger counter to test for radiation at Pacifica State Beach.  His video shows the geiger counter going past the ‘alarm’ stage, the closer he gets to the water.

Most geiger counters read radiation that is ‘surface’ radiation.  They can’t detect what is called Hot Particles, or airborne contamination.

Reports showing that most fish caught by fishermen near Fukushima are indeed contaminated.  This after many official reports saying catches were not contaminated.  That’s because people are being bribed to shut up: “Most of the fish caught within the 30 kilometer radius is thrown into the garbage because it is radiated. And TEPCo is paying to local fishermen for it, so that they’re happy and keep silent on that. Some of it though makes it to stores, but only locally.”-Kurosaki Hirokai, whistleblower economist

The Washington Times accusing the U.S. NSA (National Security Agency) of knowing U.S. military personnel were being irradiated while taking part in Operation Tomodachi, yet saying nothing to warn them.   NSA should have been privy to the massive amounts of phone calls from Tokyo Electric Power Company and Japanese government officials.

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 29 November-01 December 2013: Toyota car of the year in Afghanistan, again! U.S. forces kill Mother and Child! Shadow governor assassinated! U.S. stops fuel supply for ANA! U.S. military personnel are drug addicts!

Helmand Province: An explosion at the local National Security Directorate (NDS) compound killed one NDS agent, and wounded two others.   In Faqiran village, a U.S.-NATO drone blew up a house, killing a child and two women, one was the mother of the child.  President Hamid Karzai says this is proof the United States has “no respect” for others. Officials with U.S. led ISAF claims they were trying to target a “…known insurgent riding a motorbike…”  USMC General Dunford officially apologized to Karzai.  In Musa Qala District, five people were killed when the vehicle they were in ran over a landmine.

Herat Province: In Shindand District, Afghan National Army forces claim they assassinated a “shadow governor”, along with seven other Mujahideen.  ANA says the Mujahideen are running a shadow government in Shindand.

Jowzjan Province: In Aqcha District, villagers claim the local Madrasa was raided by U.S. backed government troops.  Three students kidnapped.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, a political representative was wounded after a suicide bomber ran into the politician’s house and blew up.  Two others were wounded.  The politician representing Zabul Province is in critical condition.

Kandahar Province: In Daman District, a suicide bomber attacked a dismounted patrol of U.S.-ISAF and ANA personnel. Government officials say the only people killed were the attacker and a child.  Two people wounded.  Mujahideen say at least 15 people killed.

Kunar Province: In Shegal District, reports that Pakistani artillery fired 20 rounds into the province.  Villagers claim property damage, but no casualties.

Nangarhar Province: In Chaparahar District, provincial officials confirm a U.S. drone crashed.  Mujahideen confirm they watched the drone crash, but did not claim they shot it down.

Uruzgan Province: Army National Guard 184th Security Force Assistance Team, from the U.S. state of California, claims they’ve properly trained up the provincial police forces.

Afghan defense and interior officials claim the United States has stopped fuel supply and other support for ANA and Afghan National Police forces.

More evil committed by the U.S. Obama regime: The Guardian news source reporting that Afghan men, who marry female U.S. military personnel, are being denied by the U.S. government travel rights to the United States to be with their wives and children.

In the U.S. state of Ohio, the family of a National Guard militia man began a campaign to raise awareness of the massive problem of military personnel being addicted to opiates and opiate related pain killers (opium, heroin, morphine, codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone,  oxymorphone).  Their militia man son killed himself with heroin.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Afghanistan, India and Iran have agreed to create a trilateral transportation deal to boost their economies.

The Health Ministry reports that there has been a 38% increase in AIDS cases from 2012 to 2013, under U.S. occupation.

Once again, the Toyota Corolla was picked as the favorite car in Afghanistan.  The reason why are: Price, practicality, availability of parts, reliability and fuel economy.

World War 3, North American Front: Tens of thousand of mostly Christians killed in the name of U.S. instigated False Flag Drug War in Mexico! Migrants seaking work in the U.S. at record lows! More deaths in Mexico than in Syria?

25 December 2013 (15:52 UTC-07 Tango)/21 Safar 1435/04 Dey 1392/23 Jia-Zi (11th month) 4711

“The case of Anastacio Hernandez Rojas is emblematic of a disease that runs to the cold heart of the Obama administration’s immigration policy. The administration’s silence before the killing of innocents is enabling the Border Patrol to continue to kill and abuse with utter impunity. This is an agency that refuses to be accountable to anyone.”-Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente

The U.S. backed Drug War in Mexico is getting a lot of people killed, and they’re not even Mexicans!  As I’ve written before, most of the people killed in the so called Drug War, are people from Central American countries!

But of course Mexicans are being killed.  The latest case involves five Mexican teenagers who were ran over by a pickup truck as they left a Christmas party in Reynosa, Tamaulipas.  Officials say it was intentional, and that the occupants of the truck were “gunmen”, although no gun shots were reported.

Most people in Mexico and Central America say they’re Catholic Christians, with a growing number switching to other christian ideologies.  It was the Christian George Bush Jr who pushed Mexico into the Drug War, and Christian Barack Obama is continuing it. On the U.S. side of the border U.S. government officials have been busy killing anybody they want, seemingly at random.

Another report revealed that U.S. government agents are also killing U.S. citizens: “Since 2005, on-duty Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection officers have killed at least 42 people, including at least 13 Americans.”

The Institute for Women in Migration reports that their research confirms that 47-thousand migrant workers have been killed in the so called Drug War in Mexico, since the Bush Jr regime started it.

Mexican newspapers are reporting that between 10-thousand and 70-thousand migrants from Central American countries have gone missing inside Mexico!  Even the UN suggests that U.S. backed Mexican officials are intentionally looking the other way when it comes to Central American migrants trying to reach the U.S.

The Swiss based Academy of International Humanitarian Law says they’ve confirmed that in 2012  nine thousand people were killed in Mexico, as a result of the Drug War, putting Mexico in second place after Syria.  More people were killed in Mexico than in Afghanistan.

The Swiss study also pointed out that many more unsolved and unreported killings in Mexico could be directly attributed to the Drug War, which means Mexico could actually beat out Syria for the most people killed in 2012!

Oh, and for all those ‘mericans that’re sick of those dern Mexicans stealing the very jobs that most ‘mericans wouldn’t take, the study by the Institute for Women in Migration shows that migrant workers going to the U.S. has crashed.  In 2007 Latin American migrants heading to the United States, through Mexico, peaked at a record 682-thousand+.  By the end of 2012 the number of migrants heading to the U.S. hit a record low of 181-thousand!  (that’s a drop of just over half a million migrant workers, for those of you who can’t do the math)

It’s a sign that the U.S. instigated Drug War in Mexico is really targeting migrants, and it’s also a sign of how bad the U.S. economy really is.   So shove that up your red neck Estados Unidos Christian asses!

(don’t forget about radioactive material being stolen in broad daylight)

Mexico losing U.S. instigated drug war to Knights Templar! 

Mexico kicks out U.S. ‘law enforcement’ agencies, blames them for drug war!
