False Flag: Turkey, Russia blame assassination on U.S. based extremist group!

20 December 2016 / 22:26 UTC-07 Tango 06 (01 Dey 1395/21 Rabi ‘al-Awwal 1438/23 Geng Zi 4714)

News reports out of the Middle East say Rossija and Türkiye has ‘intelligence’ identifying an Islamic extremist group, operating within the United States, as being behind the assassination of Rossija’s ambassador to Türkiye.  Of course the Obama regime called the reports “absolutely ridiculous”.

I’ve already written how in 1997 President Bill Clinton rescued an Islamic extremist after a failed coup attempt in Türkiye.  That man, Muhammed Fethullah Gülen, has been living at tax-payer expense in Pennsylvania, and operates a massive charter school system based in Texas.

The assassination comes as Iran, Rossija and Türkiye began their own diplomatic efforts to end the U.S.-EU-Israeli instigated insurgency in Syria, stating:

1. Iran, Russia and Turkey reiterate their full respect for the sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic as a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, non-sectarian, democratic and secular state.

2. Iran, Russia and Turkey are convinced that there is no military solution to the Syrian conflict. They recognize the essential role of the United Nations in the efforts to resolve this crisis in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 2254.

The ministers [Mohammad Javad Zarif, Sergei Lavrov and Mevlut Cavusoglu] also take note of the decisions made by the International Syria Support Croup (ISSG) and urge all members of the international community to cooperate in good faith in order to remove the obstacles on the way to implement the agreements contained in these documents.

3. Iran, Russia and Turkey welcome joint efforts in eastern Aleppo allowing for voluntary evacuation of civilians and organized departure of the armed opposition.

The ministers also welcome the partial evacuation of civilians from Foua, Kefraya, Zabadani and Madaya and commit to ensure the completion of the process without any interruption and in a safe and secure manner.

They express their gratitude to the representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) for their assistance in the conduction of the evacuation.

4. The Iranian, Russian and Turkish ministers agree on the importance of expanding ceasefire, unhindered humanitarian assistance and free movement of civilians throughout the country.

5. Iran, Russia and Turkey express their readiness to facilitate and become the guarantors of the prospective agreement being negotiated between the Syrian government and the opposition. They invite all other countries with the influence on the situation on the ground to do the same.

6. They strongly believe that this agreement will be instrumental to create the necessary momentum for the resumption of the political process in Syria in accordance with the Security Council resolution 2254.

7. Zarif, Lavrov and Cavusoglu take note of the kind offer of the president of Kazakhstan to host relevant meetings in Astana.

8. Iran, Russia and Turkey reiterate their determination to fight jointly against Daesh and al-Nusra terrorists and to separate them from armed opposition groups.

Marijuana saves Colorado! Illegal immigrants protected in Idaho? : September 2016 U.S. FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL SHENANIGANS

Incomplete list (there’s just too much government BS to be able to keep up with all of it) of U.S. Federal/State/Local Government self-destruct announcements for September 2016:

Arkansas:  July sales tax revenues for the cities of Fayetteville,  Rogers, Springdale, Bentonville were up compared to July of 2015.  There was no immediate explaination for the increase in tax revenues.

Arizona:  Counties are begging the state goverment to raise gas taxes, threatening an increase in property taxes as an alternative.  County leaders point out that since 2008 state administrators have used gas tax revenues for things other than road repairs!

California: Not only has Cupertino based Apple avoided paying its fair share of taxes to the not-so Golden State, as well as Taiwan, United States and European Union, but also failed to pay its fair share of taxes owed to Japan! Apple was apparently offshoring profits made in Japan to its tax haven operations in Ireland.  Once caught Apple administrators quickly agreed to pay Japan $118-million USD in back-due taxes!  Last month The Guardian reported that the Obama regime is threatening the European Union (an ally of the U.S.) for demanding U.S. companies like Apple pay their fair share in taxes!

Colorado: As everything else declines state and local tax revenues from marijuana sales continue to climb, but local news reports say desperate cities addicted to tax revenues are now fighting over how much of the state collections they’ll get, and how they can spend the money.  For an example, the city of Edgewater claims they’ll make $1.2-million USD off the sale of marijuana! 

Idaho: The State Police will stop enforcing a booze law that allows them to crash establishments that serve alcohol during ‘live sex acts’.  It’s the result of a lawsuit that proved that the law being used to harass bars with adult performers is too vague, and possibly unconstitutional.    And the State Police are being sued for the 2013 killing of a Montana man.  The man was questioned by police for 40 minutes before they shot him while he was sitting in the passenger’s seat of his car.  Police claim the license plates didn’t match the man’s car and that there was a gun in the glove box. The family of the victim says police dash-cam video shows their son never threatened police with any gun.  Boise State Public Radio revelaed that the federal government refuses to reveal how many illegal immigrants in Idaho get deported.  The U.S. Department of Homeland Security/Immigration and Customs Enforcement admitted that actual deportations have declined since 2012, due to a focus on immigrants convicted in court of crimes other than immigration violations.   Here in Idaho deportations in 2015 dropped by about 4-hundred compared to 2011.  And in Camas County, actor Bruce Willis‘ plans for a private airport crashed and burned after complaints from residents, and the city of Ketchum claimed it violated local laws.  Apparently the land was zoned specifically for agricultural use.

Indiana: Dearborn County facing crashing riverboat gambling tax collections as analysts expect a 15% decline in the next two years.  Local news reports say the county has been relying on casino taxes to support its budget and even with projected declines the casino tax still brings in the most revenue.

Louisiana: More proof of a Failed State; the Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Department eliminating 26 jobs, directly blaming crashing sales tax revenues.

Michigan: More proof of a Failed State; Montcalm County eliminating 20 jobs due to crashing tax revenues.  Operating costs have outpace tax revenues by $2-million USD per year since 2012!  Detroit Metropolitan Airport claims skyrocketing revenues from fees charged to airlines, to vendors and for parking.  Thomas Naughton, CEO of the airport, credits “…increased demand and air service opportunities that have resulted in part by keeping our airline rates competitive…” Grand Rapids owned Indian Trails Golf Course threatening the city budget due to its $2.8-million income tax funded renovation.  The problem is that optimistic city leaders expected almost $700-thousand from customer fees to help repay the renovation, which is now 50 days behind schedule.

Mississippi: The city of Jackson eliminating 28 jobs in an attempt to balance their budget.  In Leake County, the troubled taxpayer funded Mormon corporate run Management and Training Corporation’s (MTC) Walnut Grove child prison shutdown after a lawsuit revealed years of sexual abuse, illicit drugs and physical abuse of child prisoners by corporate correctional officers.

Missouri: Kansas City reports a 58% increase in revenues due to its ‘special’ property and sales tax created to fund its new downtown public transportation streetcars.  However, analysts point out that most of the increased revenues took place before the streetcar system went into operation and that the actuall economic impact of the new streetcar system is not yet knowable.

Nebraska: The Omaha Public Power District eliminating an ‘estimated’ 4-hundred jobs at the soon to be shutdown Fort Calhoun nuke plant!

New Mexico: The state Department of Tourism shutting down 50% of its visitor centers claiming its due to lack of use, but its really because the gov’na ordered a 5% reduction in spending.

Oklahoma:  Oklahoma City revealed sales tax revenues continue to crash, and ordered more city government layoffs.  The city needs to cut an additional $4.5-million USD.  Reduced tax collections forced Comanche County to reduce next year’s budget by $204-thousand.

Pennsylvania: Local news reports say the city of Hazelton is short $813-thousand in tax collections, yet the mayor is asking for a 5% increase in spending so he can hire more people.

Tennessee: Evil Nashville based tax-sucking for profit prison company CCA (Corrections Corporation of America) laid off 55 HQ employees due to the federal government ending reliance on corporate run, yet still taxpayer funded, prisons.

Texas: Brown County reports that all cities within the county are suffering crashing sales tax revenues, for the fourth month in a row.  However, some cities leaders swear their sales tax collections will be up for the year.   The city of Plainview unanimously adopted a new budget that increased property values (a backdoor way of increasing property taxes) without hearing any public comment on the budget plan.

Virginia: City of Falls Church claims hard-to-believe tax revenues from a two months old mega-gorcery store/apartment complex combo, and that’s despite a sudden change of corporate ownership.  The city council is crediting the new mega-gorcery store/apartment complex for helping create almost $500-thousand USD more than what was expected in fiscal year tax collections.  The city of Fredericksburg claims an across the board increase in tax revenues.  City leaders credit tourism for most of the tax revenue increases. Fairfax County wants to rape the tourists even more by proposing a 4% meal tax!  Residents will vote on the proposal in November. 

Washington: King County claims their local economy is strong, yet property tax revenues continue to go down.  County leaders warn they must cut $22-million USD from next year’s budget, meaning jobs.    Davis County wants to massively jack up property taxes for 2017.  Leaders want an additional $7.2-million for county operations and $1.25-million for the county library system.   

Washington DC: More proof of a Failed State; the Congress passed yet anther short term spending bill to avoid federal government shutdown.  The new spending bill is good only until December, and will cost taxpayers trillions of U.S. dollars.  Federal tax collector Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced it must kill-off more than 7-thousand jobs between now and 2024, due to crashing hard copy filings of income tax ‘returns’!    The massive layoffs will directly affect the states of California, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas and Utah.

Wisconsin: The ijiot ‘Right to Work’ you over gov-na Scott Walker is now so desperate to save his Failed State economy he’s proposing a sales tax holiday on school supply items.  If the state cheese-weenie-head ‘lawmakers’ approve it it’ll go into effect in the 2017-19 school year.

August 2016: “EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE….NO ONE IS SAFE.”

U.S.

July 2016 U.S. Federal/State/Local Government Shenanigans

Incomplete list of U.S. Federal/State/Local Government self-destruct announcements for July 2016:

Arizona:  Due to crashing tax funding the state Health Care Cost Containment System denied Medicaid to 3-thousand 5-hundred refugees and immigrants, as far back as October 2015!  The city of Scottsdale just spent $4-million tax-dollars buying a man’s property, then asking the man to continue living there rent free!  It’s all part of the city’s plan to ‘protect’ the world’s largest urban nature preserve.  The man who sold out is now basically a park ranger in exchange for somewhere to live.  The city of Tempe is being pushed to considering changing laws, and possibly spending tax dollars, to create a ‘tiny home community’.  The idea is to cram 11 living spaces on two thirds of an acre.  The tiny homes are tiny versions of mobile homes which, ironically, are being promoted in response to Tempe’s growing mobile home eviction rate!

California:  The Golden State’s Cap-n-Trade program is praised for reducing pollution, criticized for killing jobs, and now the courts want to know what the ‘elected’ lawmakers are doing with the money!  The program forces industries to bid on auctioned ‘permits’ to produce pollution. Whistleblowers revealed that revenues are far short of what was expected, but nobody is saying what’s being done with the money.

Connecticut: More proof of Failed State-ism, after already eliminating 825 taxpayer funded jobs the ‘elected’ government announced more layoffs.  Apparently the layoffs will continue until 2-thousand 5-hundred taxpayer funded jobs have been eliminated! However, local news media report that state agencies might be rebelling against the gov’na’s plans, by re-hiring laid off employees into newly created lower paying positions!

Florida: At MacDill Air Force Base, IAP Worldwide laying off 45 people by the end of September. At Kennedy Space Center, Chenga Security & Support Solutions eliminating 272 jobs by the end of September!  At Eglin AFB, InDyne eliminating 641 jobs by the end of September!

Georgia: In Atlanta, after 35 years privately funded homeless shelter Open Door Community shutdown due to the cost of keeping the aged building open. Local news reports said this will burden the city run homeless ops, which are already being cut due to crashing taxpayer funding.

Idaho: The Idaho Statesman revealed that a plurality of ‘elected’ christian lawmakers are covered under taxpayer funded healthcare for full time employees.  The reasons this is a scandal are that Idaho’s lawmakers are legally considered part time employees, and the fact that at least 78-thousand Idahoans are not covered by ObamaCare insurance.  According to InsideGov.com, Congressman Raul Labrador claims his net worth is negative $216-thousand USD!   A ranch family is suing Adams County after two deputies shot and killed Jack Yantis.   Admas County Sheriff claims his deputies were about to put down one of Yantis’ bulls, after it had been hit by a car, when Yantis showed up and threatened them with a gun.  All deputies on scene blasted Yantis to death. The family disputes the Sheriff’s version of what happened.  A Deputy Fire Chief in Nampa was fired after revealing that two apartment complexes weren’t safe for disabled people.  A federal court judge now says there’s enough evidence for Doug Strosnider, the now former Deputy Fire Chief, to file a ‘whistleblower’ lawsuit against Nampa.   The ongoing drought is forcing the state Water Resource Board to spend $7.2 million tax-dollars to boost water recharge of the Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer.

Illinois: A prime example of Failed State; Winnebago County will conduct layoffs due to multimillion-dollar budget shortfalls.  The county is short nearly $1.6-million USD on just personnel expenses, and sales tax funding for 2017 are expected to be short by as much as $8.8-million!  The Madden Shelter/Residential Program shutting down in Chicago, Bartlett and Des Plaines, 145 jobs gone starting now!

Louisiana: For profit prison operator GEO eliminating 80 prison jobs at Allen Correctional Center.   To save money the Louisiana Department of Corrections wants to downgrade the ‘correctional center’ to a simple jail.

Michigan: The number of tax-sucking state employees charged with the city of Flint’s water catastrophe now numbers nine.   All are basically charged with covering up what they knew was criminal action by contractors.  The state administrators charged worked for the state Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Environmental Quality.  Flint’s former utilities manager has also been charged.

New Jersey: “Gov. Chris Christie’s executive order to freeze transportation projects could wind up costing construction contractors millions in additional expenses and force layoffs to thousands of construction workers…”-Burlington County times

The U.S. Justice Department now suing two former executives of New Jersey based military contractor Louis Berger Group.  Those executives pled guilty to ripping off $50-million tax-dollars for work not done in Afghanistan,  Iraq and other parts of the world the U.S. is occupying.

New York: “The Campaign for One New York, the now-defunct nonprofit dedicated to promoting New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s agenda, raised $60,000 during the first six months of 2016… …the mayor decided to shut down amid federal and state investigations into……..whether the mayor traded government action in return for donations…”–The Wall Street Journal 

Also,  federal investigators are looking into current ‘elected’ mayor Bill de Blasio’s connection to the sale of Long Island College Hospital. Supposedly the buyer of the hospital is a property developer with direct connections to de Blasio’s assistants.  The city of New York paying more than $2-million tax dollars for the death of an autistic boy.  The death happened in 2013, after the Queens school somehow failed to notice the autistic boy left the campus.  He was found three months later (in January 2014) in the East River.   The state Department of Financial services now investigating foreclosure actions against people with reverse mortgages. In The Empire State there are escalating cases where old people who got reverse mortgages (you know, those home equity loans that claim you can live in your home for the rest of your life) are being foreclosed on by those very reverse mortgage lenders!

North Carolina: Between January and July, state employment administrators received notice of the elimination of more than 8-thousand 5-hundred jobs in the private sector!

Oregon: The city of Portland is pushing ahead with the shutdown of a homeless camp, despite not providing a viable alternative for the increasing number of homeless people (an estimated 5-hundred people now live in the Springwater Corridor).

Texas: Taxsucking Lockheed Martin eliminating more than 1-hundred jobs at Randolph Air Force Base, by September!  Despite many Texas leaders claiming to be ‘christians’, the city of Dallas is pushing ahead with shutting down homeless camps despite threats of lawsuits by the ACLU.  Local news reports say the number of homeless people has doubled since May!    “Yeshua [Jesus of Nazareth] said to him, ‘Foxes have lairs and birds of the sky have shelters, but The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’”-Matthew 8:20, Aramaic Bible

Virginia: Arlington based Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is offering $4-million tax-dollars to any company that can meet its Cyber Grand Challenges for 2016.  That includes creating an automated computer hacking system!

Washington: At the Hanford nuclear vitrification plant U.S. Department of Energy contractor Bechtel eliminating 45 jobs, but in another report claimed they will continue to fill 3-hundred positions! Company administrators basically said 45 eliminated positions were found to be “inefficient”.

Washington DC: Taxsucking military contractor Lockheed Martin announced that 350 jobs will be eliminated from their Mission Systems and Training operations!

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!

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.”

Fukushima

Hawaiian cows bombed by Fukushima radiation! Highest skin cancer rate & government lies connected to Idaho?

11 June 2016 / 23:30 UTC-07 Tango 01 (23 Khordad 1395/06 Ramadan 1437/08 Jia-Wu 4714)

Belgium: Yet more problems with troubled Tihanga 2 nuke plant (which was supposed to be shutdown in 2015): “An electrical motor that turns a steam turbine in a non-nuclear part of the site broke down.”-Serge Dauby

Canada: Reports say the Canadian government has reversed course on shutting down the Whiteshell/Pinawa nuclear site in Manatoba. Canadian Nuclear Laboratories has frozen the decommissioning and has apparently decided to leave underground reactors in place and simply pour concrete over everything: “Essentially, it has become too difficult and expensive to dismantle and dig up the radioactive waste at the Pinawa site, and the result is the province will wind up with a de facto nuclear waste facility.”

Finland: In 2020 the northern country will begin burying nuke waste for the first time.  They plan to bury 5-thousand tons of nuke waste for at least 100-thousand years.  The initial cost to taxpayers to build The Hollow is $4-billion USD!  Imagine the cost to maintain it, they must expect their economy to boom in order to provide the tax revenues to support The Hollow.

India: The U.S. Obama regime is supporting India’s plan to join the international Nuclear Suppliers Group: “In practical terms, there is nothing extra that the NSG will give India other than a seat at the nuclear high table.”-Rakesh Sood

Italy: The prime minister of the the U.S. led NATO member revealed plans for Italy to abandon its anti-nuclear weapons policy, and will allow the U.S. Obama regime to maintaining a nuclear arsenal in the Latin country (despite Obama’s promise seven years ago that the U.S. would stop exporting nukes), all in the ironic name of nuclear security: “Thank you President Obama. Italy is fully determined to follow through with its commitment for nuclear security.”-Matteo Renzi, Italian prime minister commenting on the basing of new U.S. B-61-12 nuclear bombs in Italy

Japan:  Five years later several people are breaking the news media silence on cancers caused by the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi disaster. A 21 years old woman with thyroid cancer is begging the rest of her neighbors to get screened for cancer. She’s one of 173 young people to reveal they have cancer that according to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation says can only be caused by a nuclear disaster.  News reports say the 21 years old woman is hiding her identity because victims of Fukushima Daiichi who go public are actually attacked by supporters of the nuke industry!  In the nuclear disaster areas skyrocketing cases of children with thyroid cancer are making local news, however, the neo-imperialist ‘hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil’ government of Japan blames the increased child cancer rates on increased cancer screenings, not radiation! Even the Fukushima Medical Association flat denies the increased cases of thyroid cancer in children could be caused by radiation contamination!   News media revealed that the government is actually dragging its feet on cancer screenings, at least 38% of the victims of Fukushima Daiichi have yet to be tested for radiation contamination!

Micronesia: 70 years after the U.S. nuked the shit out of Bikini Atoll its still too radioactive for people to return: “People dream of going back to Bikini Island, but there’s an ugly history of people returning too early and getting sick. I couldn’t get clear answers, even in scientific literature, on whether these islands were, in fact, radioactive or not.”–Emlyn Hughes, Columbia University

Sweden: Government administrators have voted to build ten new nuclear power plants. At least four will be built to replace four of Sweden’s nine older nuke factories: “This is a traditional Swedish compromise.”-Ibrahim Baylan, Ministry of Energy

United States: A shipment of plutonium and weapons grade uranium from Japan was delivered to Savannah River Site in South Carolina and weapons lab Y-12 National Security Complex in Tennessee.  So far nobody has explained why Japan had been storing massive quantities of weapons grade material in violation of its own laws and international laws.  It was revealed that Japan was convinced to hand it over due to its lax security of nuclear facilities: “The removal of the material from Japan represents a significant accomplishment in our broader global nuclear security efforts to secure highly enriched uranium and plutonium worldwide.”-Lieutenant General Frank G. Klotz, U.S. Department of Energy

In California “There is 89 times the amount of radiation at San Onofre as was released at Chernobyl, [Southern California Edison] spends millions of dollars each year distorting the truth. It’s a smoke-and-mirrors show they put on for the public while they cut costs to increase their profits.”-Rita Conn of Secure Nuclear Waste commenting on spent nuclear fuel at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)

Reports out of The Aloha State reveal that only one week after Fukushima Daiichi blew up radiation was detected in the air over Hawaii.  That same year the University of Hawaii at Manoa began collecting water samples to establish a baseline cesium level.  Researchers say since then elevated cesium levels have been detected around Midway Island and the west coast of North America.  But what’s more worrisome is that cesium is showing up in the milk of dairy cows on Hawaii: “The Department of Health monitored precipitation and the atmosphere and also milk. They found positive hits in all of these.”–Henrietta Dulai, University of Hawaii researcher who admitted her own cesium testing conflicts with the state Department of Health’s test results

The Idaho state Attorney General Lawrence Wasden claims he will defend the 1995 nuclear waste agreement between The Gem State and Washington DC, despite the fact that ‘elected’ state and federal lawmakers are pushing to bring more nuke waste into Idaho. The Idaho Statesman revealed that the federal government repeatedly violates the 1995 agreement. This comes as it’s been revealed that since November 2015 clean up crews from the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have been investigating why a Snake River Plain Aquifer monitoring well, near Highway 20, is contaminated with tetrachloroethylene. Efforts are now underway to clean up the contamination. And of course that news arrived as news that between 2001 and 2005 Idaho had the most people die from skin cancer than any other U.S. state!
Idaho’s neighbor The Evergreen State had the highest rate of skin cancer in 2008! Both Idaho and Washington are home to huge nuclear laboratories.

“About 700,000 people drink water from the Kentucky River, which runs through the city of Irvine. Last year, Irvine received 4 million to 10 million pounds of concentrated, radioactive fracking residue from Advanced TENORM Services LLC, which further concentrated waste from Virginia-based Fairmont Brine Processing.”-Leslie Bruner

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission rates Massachusetts’ Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station as one of the three worst in the U.S. (all three are operated by the same company, Entergy).   Pilgrim is supposed to be decommissioned starting in 2019, however local news media revealed “Entergy does not have enough money to decommission now. Entergy has about $900 million in Pilgrim’s Decommissioning Trust Fund (DTF). Entergy estimated that the total cost (if the work started in 2014) to clean-up Vermont Yankee, a smaller reactor than Pilgrim, would be about 1.243 billion dollars. Pilgrim’s DTF is about 350 million dollars short, even if work started today. By the time that the work is actually done, the shortfall likely will be in the billions.”

The fat-ass Christie regime in New Jersey is allowing the aged Artificial Island nuclear power plant to continue operations for another five years, and interestingly is not requiring the construction of cooling towers.  It’s all about the politics of global warming and taxpayer funded (socialist) job creation: “Nuclear plays a key role today and also in the future in meeting New Jersey and America’s clean air goals. These goals can’t be achieved without carbon free nuclear power. Just as important is the economic impact of the 1,800 jobs we supply and the millions of dollars we spend each year on goods and services right here in New Jersey.”-Joe Delmar, PSEG Nuclear

The Department of Energy (DoE) gave the green light to restart ‘cold operations’ at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in New Mexico,  more than two years after the mixed-nuke waste explosion.  The DoE is paying the Land of Enchantment $74-million USD compensation for the WIPP disaster.

In Washington DC “The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) quietly issued proposals …to allow radioactive contamination in drinking water ….equivalent to 250 chest X-rays a year.” Yet another study saying cell phones cause brain cancer, this time it’s the federal government.  After spending $25-million taxpayer dollars funding the study through the National Toxicology Program it was concluded that “radiofrequency radiation (RFR) at frequencies and modulations used in the US telecommunications industry” was connected to “…RFR exposure and the neoplastic lesions…”

“People are hanging on by their fingernails…” Economist reveals 10,000 jobs lost every month! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 10 May 2016

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

Since 2008 beer maker Anheuser-Busch has been owned by Belgium, today in an effort to increase sales they changed the name of Budweiser to America.  It’ll probably work ’cause there are still a lot of people in the U.S. that think Budweiser, I mean America, is still American.  Remember, it was the Belgians who created French Fries, the name came from dumb American ‘Dough Boys’ (World War 1 soldiers) who thought they were in France.  Then after 9-11 the dumb American Congress tried to ban French Fries as a way of punishing France for not supporting the illegal invasion of Iraq.

California: In Simi Valley, Too Big to Jail Bank of America eliminating 90 jobs by mid-June. In South Lake Tahoe, Diversified Transportation shutting down, 65 jobs lost by the end of June. In Yucca Valley, school bus contractor First Student laying off five people (in addition to the previously announced 71 layoffs) by the end of June.  In Los Angeles, Andromeda Entertainment shutting down, 96 jobs gone by July. In Lake Forest, Quantum Fuel Systems shutting down, 110 jobs gone by the end of June!  In Menlo Park, after 134 years (surviving The Great [deflationary] Depression and numerous recessions) pioneering Beltramo’s Wines & Spirits shutting down to be sold-off. Don’t blame the economy or the internet (they sell on ebay), the only heir to the family business says she is not ready to take over.  More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high-tech competition for your demise; Sacramento based newspaper owner The McClatchy Company off-shoring 150 U.S. InfoTech jobs to India!  Xerox laying off 55 people in Riverside, by the end of June.  Cisco Systems killed yet more jobs, this time 83 people in San Jose rendered jobless.  In San Francisco, Roof Diagnostics Solar and Electric issued a WARN, 48 jobs gone by July.

Colorado: The following restaurants reported as shutting down this week; Bubu Lowry, Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, Big Country’s Bar-B-Que, Protein Bar Colorado Boulevard, Viand and Willie G’s Seafood & Steak.

Connecticut:  Roof Diagnostics Solar and Electric issued a shutdown WARN for their Middletown operation, 46 jobs lost by mid-July.  In South Windsor, General Electric (GE) issued a WARN saying 1-hundred people will become jobless starting in July, no official reason given.

Florida:  Tampa Media Group shutting down, 3-hundred jobs gone by July!

Kansas: It’s being revealed that Gessler Drug Company suddenly shutdown two drug stores two weeks ago: “It hit me like a ton of bricks! ….I couldn’t tell anybody what was going on.”-Allen Ames, operated Ames Watch Repair inside Gessler’s stores for more than forty years

Minnesota: In Minneapolis, after 20 years Big Brain Comics shutting down in June.  Owner Michael Drivas says he’s tired of playing the game, “You’re either always working, or never working.”

Missouri:  What housing market recovery? Two years after re-entering the home loan market Ditech Financial eliminating 103 jobs by September, as it shuts down its debt collects ops in Earth City!

New York: British empire founded but now NYC based news agency Reuters essentially reported that your ‘elected’ officials are lying about economic recovery, especially in manufacturing: “People are hanging on by their fingernails in manufacturing.”-J.B.

“Companies are becoming more reluctant to expand and more cost conscious, so that cutback in hiring is a reflection of that.”-Christopher Williamson, economist who says U.S. factories are eliminating an average of 10-thousand jobs per month

In Rochester, Moe’s Southwest Grill shutting down their East Avenue location this weekend.  More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high-tech competition for your demise; insurance company New York Life issued a WARN saying 104 InfoTech employees in NYC and Sleepy Hollow will become unemployed by January 2017!  The jobs are being “outsourced”.

North Carolina: Haywood County Board of Education eliminating 14 jobs and shutting down Central Elementary.  They need to cut $2-million USD from their budget.

Oklahoma: Oil and natural gas producer Chaparral Energy chapter 11 bankrupt busted due to $1.2-billion USD of debt!

Pennsylvania: The FDIC seized First CornerStone Bank and handed the assets over to First-Citizens Bank & Trust.  What housing market recovery?  As part of the demise of Mechanicsburg based home builder Innovative Building Systems, subsidiary excelHomes notified state administrators that they’ve already laid off 291 employees!  In Harrisburg, school bus contractor First Student issued a layoff WARN, 43 people jobless by the end of June.  Despite reporting an increased demand for Ketchup, Presbyterian/Agnostic Warren Buffett eliminating 40 Kraft-Heinz jobs in Pittsburgh, they’re being contracted out by June.  In Richland Township, customers and employees woke to find the Ryan’s restaurant shutdown.  Parent company Ovation Brands apparently exited bankruptcy, but the property owner is still pissed that they didn’t pay the rent while in bankruptcy so he kicked them out: “I was there last night, I closed, and they didn’t say a word to us.”-Trista Miller, a pregnant Ryan’s employee who worked a 13 hours shift

Tennessee: The FDIC seized Trust Company Bank and handed the assets over to The Bank of Fayette County.

Texas: Bloomberg reports that so far this year Houston based petroleum contractor Schlumberger is leading the way with the most  job cuts; 20-thousand in the past four months!

Washington:  The manager of radioactive River Corridor Closure Project, Washington Closure Hanford, issued a shutdown WARN for their Richland office, 435 jobs gone starting in July! 

Wisconsin: Tyson Foods shutting down their Jefferson pepperoni factory in July,  250 jobs lost! 

09 May 2016: “We are done…”

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.”

Five Years Later: WiFi spreading radiation! Bullet proof vest blocks radiation? More mystery radiation from Fukushima! Tomatoes block radiation?

Iran: The Ministry of Defense is now using octagen as a bomb.  Octagen is also used as rocket fuel and, in countries that have nuclear weapons, it is used as the detonator for nukes.

The government revealed a new nuclear site called Pasman Gor.  Government administrators claim they will reveal numerous nuclear industry developments that until now were “currently under the monopoly of a handful of nations.” 

Japan: News reports that Tokyo Electric Power Company is concerned over a massive radiation spike coming from a near empty wastewater storage tank.  At TEPCo’s Fukushima Daiichi a three years old wastewater tank is now emitting 8-thousand 1-hundred becquerels (bq) of radiation, last week it was only 87bq!  TEPCo administrators are trying to find out why.

Japan’s Board of Audit says this year’s decontamination efforts around Fukushima Daiichi will cost at least $27-billion USD! Now extrapolate that to $27-billion every year for the next 40 years, that’s how long they think decontamination efforts are to last (right, tell that to the people of Chernobyl).

Switzerland:  Researchers say they’ve come up with a product to greatly speed up wireless (WiFi) computer communications by blocking exposure to radiation that’s actually created by computer electronics. It’s called Graphene.  Radiation created by WiFi electronics themselves is one reason microchips can’t currently be made to operate any faster.   Graphene acts like polarized sunglasses for microchips, filtering out radiation.

United States: The U.S. is being turned into the world’s nuclear waste dumpsite.  Last month Japan shipped off tonnes of weapons grade plutonium to the U.S., now it’s being revealed that United Kingdom is shipping 7-hundred kg (1,543 pounds) of uranium to the U.S.

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton reminded people of a forgotten radiation contamination event that took place at Bethlehem Steel in New York.  It happened in the 1940s and 50s.  Workers were exposed to uranium while making fuel rods for nuclear plants.  It wasn’t until the year 2000 that the U.S. Congress finally decided to pay for medical costs for those who were still alive!

North Carolina State University’s Afsaneh Rabiei claims to have created a bullet proof metallic foam that can also block radiation. Rabiei swears the secret for Composite Metal Foam’s ability to stop armor piercing bullets is the air bubbles, not the metal.  However, when it comes to blocking radiation CMF must use exotic metals like tungsten and vanadium.

United Kingdom:  Researchers at University of Manchester claim that the chemical that turns tomatoes red can block radiation contamination, under certain conditions.  They hope that one day lycopene can be used to help people undergoing radiation treatment for cancer.  Earlier studies suggested that lycopene can protect cigarette smokers from cancer causing nitrogen dioxide radical and peroxynitrite.

Five Years Later: Contamination of Japanese rivers skyrocket! INL admits its radiation detectors don’t work! More WIPP problems!

Idaho: The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) recently revealed their onsite radiation detectors don’t work!  They discovered this a month after an ‘incident’ contaminated several employees!

INL glove box

Local eastern Idaho newspapers got copy of a 43 page internal document detailing what happened.  The INL report was actually completed in December 2015, and concerns an accident that happened in August 2014.  In the Fuel Manufacturing Facility (under management of contractor Battelle Energy Alliance) the seal on a ‘glove box’ failed causing radiation to leak out, however, the radiation detectors never sounded the alarm.  The leak was accidentally discovered a month later during a routine test of the detectors.  Nine of 15 employees in the room suffered internal radiation contamination.  It should be noted that it wasn’t until January this year that the specific room where the incident took place was deemed OK to resume work!  The internal report suggested better safety procedures must be undertaken by contractor Battelle Energy Alliance.

Newspaper Post Register suggested the incident would never have been made public if it weren’t for their first reporting the incident back in September 2015, a year after the incident.  The U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) only alluded to the INL incident in random postings on its website starting in October 2014, but failed to mention that employees had been exposed!

New Mexico: It’s been revealed that work at the failed Waste Isolation Pilot Project (WIPP, with direct connections to INL) was halted for a month when detection devices picked up  carbon monoxide and ‘volatile organic compounds’ in the underground air.

Work is ongoing to install new ventilation systems as a result of the 2014 explosion of a mixed waste drum from Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Despite the ongoing problems at WIPP, the U.S. DoE has decided to ship six tonnes of ‘surplus’ nuclear bomb making plutonium to WIPP, under the guise of reducing any chance that terrorists might get their hands on it.   All that weapons grade plutonium is supposedly coming from South Carolina’s Savannah River Site.

Japan: The prefecture of Fukushima concluded testing on the 72 rivers flowing through the area and was shocked at the results.

After five years of supposed effort to contain and clean up the ongoing meltdowns at the GE designed Fukushima Daiichi, radiation contamination levels have skyrocketed!

The worst offenders are:  Maeda River in Futaba Town (location of Fukushima Daiichi)=54-thousand 5-hundred becquerels per kilogram of radioactive substances

Hiru River in Fukushima City=39-thousand 6-hundred becquerels

Five other rivers=more than 10-thousand bq

When prefectural administrators approached the national government about the situation the Ministry of Environment said under current Japanese nuclear regulations “decontamination is not required for areas outside of residential zones”!

It should be noted that Japan recently shipped several tonnes worth of weapons grade plutonium to the United States and United Kingdom, under the guise of reducing any chance that terrorists might get their hands on it.  Here’s the thing; according to signed agreements Japan is not supposed to have weapons grade plutonium to begin with.  These shipments back up claims by China that Japan is hoarding plutonium for the secret purpose of making nuclear weapons.  What was that about Donald Trump wanting Japan to make it’s own nukes?

False Flag: Belgian nuke plant security guard assassinated, ID stolen!

Belgian news media reporting that SLFP Police have revealed that a security guard at the Doel nuclear power plant, near Charleroi, was shot dead while walking the grounds with his security dog.  His identification was stolen.  The assassination took place two days after the Tuesday bombings in Brussels.  140 Belgian soldiers have deployed near Belgium’s two nuke plants, Doel and Tihange.

There are unconfirmed reports that a terrorist attack on the nuke plant could be imminent.  A Belgian newspaper reporting that SFLP (Syndicat Libre de la Fonction Publique) Police uncovered hours of video of the nuclear plant taken last year by the alleged terrorists behind Tuesday’s bombings.

Belgium has a recent history of problems with its nuclear reactors.  In August 2014, Doel was shutdown after an employee sabotaged reactor 4. It was revealed in 2015 that Doel reactors 1 and 2 were supposed to be decommissioned due to age, but the government ordered them to remain in service for another ten years!  In December 2015, the Tihange reactor 1 was shutdown after a fire in a “non-nuclear” part of the building. In 2012, Tihange reactor 2 was shutdown due to numerous cracks (it restarted last year).

For decades we’ve been told nuclear power plants were the cheapest way to generate a lot of electricity over the long run, but now Japan is shutting down reactors precisely because they cost too much to operate!

Shikoku Electric Power Company announced they’re shutting down and decommissioning reactor 1 at its Ikata nuke plant in Ehime Prefecture.  SEPCo says the 39 years old reactor has become too expensive to operate, and it will cost to much money to upgrade it!

Japanese news media revealed that five other nuclear reactors across Japan have been shutdown for the same reasons!
