Exceptional Failed State: FBI to investigate Idaho’s Gladiator School and the evil profiteering prison operator CCA! Crimes in Idaho prisons connected to other cases?

07 March 2014 (14:10 UTC-07 Tango)/05 Jumada l-Ula 1435/16 Esfand 1392/07 Ding-Mao 4712

Idaho Department of Correction, and the Idaho State Police confirmed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken away the state’s investigation into the Corrections Corporation of America, and the possible crimes CCA committed while running the Gladiator School (Idaho Correctional Center).

The FBI is now conducting their own investigation.  It was also revealed that the FBI was already investigating CCA for other crimes in other states: “They have other cases that are tied to this one so it worked out better for them to handle it from here.”-Teresa Baker, Idaho State Police

The FBI became aware of the CCA Gladitor School scandal after Idaho lawmakers made an appeal: “We believe this is a big deal, and that there’s a real question of whether crimes have been perpetrated on the citizens of Idaho.”-John Rusche, State House Minority Leader

According to one Associated Press report, demands were made for an Idaho State Police (ISP) investigation in 2012.  The ISP declined until ordered to at the beginning of this year.  The govna Butch Otter reluctantly ordered the investigation after massive pressure from the public, and evidence made public by his own Idaho Department of Corrections.  I’ve demonstrated in past articles that govna Otter is the biggest single recipient of campaign donations to Idaho politicians from CCA.

Lawsuits by prisoners began in 2010.  In 2012, a lawsuit revealed that CCA was encouraging gang violence as a way to control inmates.  In 2013, an Idaho state investigation revealed that CCA ripped off taxpayers by lying about how many employees they had.  CCA had overbilled by 26-thousand working hours in 2012 alone!

I want to point out that it was Idaho Democrats that called in the FBI.  My past research shows the Idaho Republicans have been the biggest recipients of campaign contributions from Tennessee based CCA.

It’s also interesting that Republicans launched a Buy Idaho campaign, yet as lawmakers they love to outsource taxpayer funded projects to out-o-state companies!

more than $18-million in Idaho taxes, to out-o-state lawyers! 

more than $1-million in Idaho taxes, to France!

Idaho lawmakers demand FBI go after CCA

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: More proof ‘Wall Street’ is a scam to steal your money! Regulator deletes “Red Flag” info about stock brokers!

“…there are problems at all those levels….it’s really been an honor system…there were breakdowns at all levels….”-Micheal Siconolfi, Wall Street Journal interviewed on CNBC’s Nightly Business Report

“PIABA Warning: FINRA Withholds Critical ‘Red Flag’ Information in Broker Background Check Disclosures to Investors.”-Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association

“The report is being issued as deeper problems with FINRA’s disclosure BrokerCheck were brought to light. A Wall Street Journal investigation published late Wednesday found that the public records of some 1,600 brokers failed to include criminal charges, bankruptcy filings and other problematic issues that should have been in their files.”–Reuters

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is a private corporation hired to supposedly keep ‘Wall Street’ honest.  FINRA is not a government agency.

“…investors need to be a lot more active…..do a little forensic investigation of your own…go to your state securities commissioners….”-Micheal Siconolfi, Wall Street Journal interviewed on CNBC’s Nightly Business Report

How can Idahoans trust their own state regulators?  Idaho’s own State Treasurer, Ron Crane, was outed by an internal audit which revealed that he recently blew through at least $10.6-million of taxpayers money, betting it on ‘Wall Street’!  Crane has been Idaho State Treasurer since 1998!

Exceptional Failed State: The Hell of ObamaCare Lies! More double/triple taxation! Got a great health insurance plan? Get ready to pay a 40% “Cadillac” tax on that!

07 March 2014 (18:39 UTC-07 Tango 06 March 2014)/05 Jumada l-Ula 1435/16 Esfand 1392/07 Ding-Mao 4712

“The 19th Annual Towers Watson/NBGH Employer Survey on Purchasing Value in Health Care found that employer costs are expected to reach $9,560 per employee in 2014, an increase of 4.4%* from $9,157 in 2013………..employees’ share of premiums increased nearly 7%, to $2,975, this year. Out-of-pocket costs also increased. The total employee cost share has climbed from 34.4% in 2011 to 37% in 2014. Employees now pay over $100 more each month for health care compared with just three years ago.

Nearly half (49%) of employers have increased employee contributions for dependent tiers at higher rates than for individuals. Another 19% expect to make this move next year. About one-quarter (24%) of companies now use spousal surcharges of around $100 per month……..the trend toward increased cost sharing for spouses will likely continue.

The survey was completed by 595 employers between November 2013 and January 2014. Respondents collectively employ 11.3 million full-time employees, have 7.8 million employees enrolled in their health care programs…..”–Towers Watson

“One big reason: the so-called Cadillac Tax. In 2018, under the Affordable Care Act, high-priced employer-sponsored insurance plans will trigger a 40 percent excise tax on insurance benefits in excess of $10,200 for an individual and $27,500 for a family plan.”–Bertha Coombs, CNBC’s Nightly Business Report

More Economic Decline: Radio Shack & Staples ups the ante, more than 1-thousand stores to close down!

06 March 2014 (08:17 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Jumada l-Ula 1435/15 Esfand 1392/06 Ding-Mao 4712

At he beginning of 2014 Radio Shack announced it will close 500 stores.  That was before they compiled their crappy Xmas 2013 sales.  Turns out Santa decided to take a dump down their electronic chimney!

Click pics to make bigger.

End of Gregorian year 2013 sales crashed 20% for the iconic Radio Shack.  So now 1100 Radio Shacks will close down.  There has yet to be confirmation as to whether this is an additional 1100 stores on top of the 500, or is this the final 2014 total?   An investor/ bankruptcy analyst says Radio Shack is in a death spiral: “They can continue to operate but they are in a cash-flow negative spiral and that doesn’t usually reverse itself.”-David Tawil

In the late 1980s I worked at a Lompoc, California, Radio Shack.  I lost my job when I tried to blow the whistle on a scam the lead sales associate was running with the electronic repairs.  The guy would take customers’ broken electronics, charge them the usual Radio Shack fees to send it back to Texas for repair, but instead he did the work himself.  People started complaining because many of the repair jobs were failures, and some people never got their items back.  I found some repair orders sitting in a closet that had receipts dated from more than a year earlier! I quickly learned the store manager was involved because I lost my job when I told him about the scam.

Now comes Mitt Romney’s wunderkind Staples.  Their end of year revenues were were so bad they’ve just announced they will close 225 stores by the middle of 2015!

Santa’s dump on Staples was so big that company officials say they need to cut $500-million USD!  It’s blamed on increased competition from the merged Office Max/Office Depot.

Staples shutdown 40 U.S. stores in 2013.

Gun Control: Oregon bus driver shits self then calls police because somebody mentioned guns! No guns found, but a man was arrested on false charges!

06 March 2014 (23:29 UTC-07 Tango 05 March 2014)/04 Jumada l-Ula 1435/15 Esfand 1392/06 Ding-Mao 4712

On 04 March 2014, a Northeast Portland bus driver had a conniption fit because he/she(?) claims they heard voices talking about guns on the bus.

Police were called in, and were even told the ‘man’ on the bus had a “cocked and loaded” gun.

A man was arrested, but no gun was found.  The man was falsely charged with interfering with public transportation.  It’s a false charge because the man was not preventing the operation of the bus, and the bus driver never made such a claim.  (other than it was hard to drive the bus with a load of shit in their pants)

The wrongly arrested man was released.

You Oregonians are such big failed United Statesians!

Exceptional Failed State: The Hell of ObamaCare Lies! One Million poor people in Florida denied ObamaCare, and counting!

“It’s very difficult, because most people were thinking once passed, they were going to have health insurance or an opportunity to get insurance. Having to retell that story over and over again that you don’t qualify because Florida didn’t expand Medicaid is very difficult.”-Stephanie Jones-Theaker, Brevard Health Alliance

Florida, like at least half the states in the great United failed States of America, refuses to expand Medicaid to meet Obama Care requirements.  It’s now been revealed that, at this point, one million Floridians have been rejected for Affordable Health Care as a result of a 2012 federal Supreme Court ruling.

Another discovery is that the majority of poor people are unaware of the 2012 Supreme Court ruling.  You can blame that on the ignorant main streamer U.S. new media for failing to explain it, and leading the people on to think almost everybody will be covered by ‘free’ health care.

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

California:  Taxsucker Boeing continued layoffs, this time 22 employees let go.  In El Centro, International Paper continued layoffs, this time three people fired.  In Pocoima, clothing store Juicy Couture laid off 17 employees.  The company was sold off.  In West Sacramento, Xyratex International laid off 17 people.  In California City, the Correctional Center (prison) laid off 296 people!  It’s blamed on the bad economy and a federal court order.  In Riverbank, Silgan Containers continues layoffs, this time 25 employees kicked out.   In Long Beach, transportation company Keolis Transit America laid off 77 people.

Indiana: In Indianapolis, metal fab company CMW International shutdown, 100 jobs lost!  The company was trying to sell off the factory, due to lack of cash.  A lawsuit filed in New York indicates the company hasn’t been paying its suppliers.  Company officials blame the bad economy: “The company has been actively seeking capital, actively seeking additional business……”-CMW statement

New Jersey: In Barnegat, Healthcare Services Group laid off 100 people!

New York:  More proof you can’t blame the internet for brick & mortar shutdowns! In NYC, internet pop-up ad company Fab.com laid off 79 employees.  It’s blamed on the bad economy.  Tax service provider, PricewaterhouseCoopers, laid off 27 people.  It’s blamed on the bad economy.  Clothing store Juicy Couture laid off 61 employees.  The company was sold off.

Virginia: In Glen Allen, cancer screening lab Bostwick Laboratories laid off 34 employees.  This after the company paid a $503,668 USD fine for “inducing” doctors to send their lab work to Bostwick labs only.

 According to employment consultant Challenger, Gray & Christmas, employers in the United States issued 45314 “planned” job cut notices in November 2013.  This does not count the small mom and pop operations.

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.

World War 3, East European Front: Canada cancels NORAD wargame with Russia! Chernobyl aid shutdown by Obama regime! Russia tests ICBM as U.S. secretly bases ABM system in Ukraine?

“I have this morning directed that, effective immediately, all planned bilateral activities between the Canadian Armed Forces and the military of the Russian Federation be suspended. This includes exercises, such as NORAD’s Exercise Vigilant Eagle, and scheduled meetings.”-Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of the British empire country of Canada

More Russian naval ships have been seen sailing through the Bosporus Strait, heading towards Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of failed State John Kerry are meeting in Paris, France.

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Tatarstan have signed a cooperation agreement.

The Obama regime puppet mayor of the Ukrainian city of Uhzgorod, Viktor Shchadei, was stabbed and is in the hospital in critical condition.  The attackers are unknown.

The Association To Help Chernobyl, in Japan’s Chubu-District, says they’ve been told to stop sending medical equipment and funds to their Ukrainian counterparts dealing with the ongoing Chernobyl nuclear disaster.   They have been told that the overthrow of the democratically elected government, by the Obama  regime, is hampering humanitarian activities.

Humanitarian groups in Ukraine are reporting that the Obama regime government in Kiev has shutdown and seized the offices of many NGOs and NPOs.

There’s been a lot of talk involving money.  The Obama regime installed puppet government in Kiev is willing to sign onto massive debt financing from the EU and U.S., but is expressing an unwillingness to pay off debts owed to Russia for natural gas.  Russia is willing to negotiate those debts, but only if the Obama puppets accept Russian financing.

The Obama puppet Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has denied reports that the United States is about to base an anti-ICBM missile system (aka ABM, Anti Ballistic Missile) within Ukraine.   Those reports were sparked by the Ukraine’s own ambassador to Russia, Mykhailo Yezhel, who told Russian news media that such a missile deal with the U.S. would be in exchange for financing.

Those reports came as Russia successfully tested a RS-12M Topol ICBM.   It’s interesting that there was no international uproar over the test, when you realize that every time North Korea even throws a rock into the air Western news media and political leaders shit themselves.

Ukrainian cable TV company, Lanet, has cut three Russian channels from its lineup.

There are reports that U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, of Idaho, will be left in Afghanistan after the Obama regime pulls out combat personnel for actions elsewhere.   Maybe it’s becasue he realized the U.S. War on Terror is a lie: “The future is too good to waste on lies. And life is way too short to care for the damnation of others, as well as to spend it helping fools with their ideas that are wrong.”-Bowe Bergdahl, letter to his parents that was leaked to news media in 2012
