“The Saudi justice system (sharia) is notoriously very harsh, and gives no leeway to non-Saudis, and embassies can provide only limited help in these situations.”-Wikitravel.org
Due to unprecedented response to the new Pokemon Go game the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabi (Islamic State) Sharia court is reviving their 2001 law banning the playing of Pokemon!
The Wahhabi country (no, Saudi Arabia is not ruled by Sunni Muslims despite what your main stream news media says) calls its Sharia court the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta’ of the Council of Senior Scholars, and the king of U.S. supported Saudi Arabia is the top member.
In 2001 Wahhabi Sharia clerics declared that Pokemon, and other video games, are the same as gambling if they use characters that were created by the influence of the concept of Darwinian evolution! In Saudi Arabia all games using religious symbols are also banned, including symbols of Freemasonry and Japan’s Shinto animist religion. According to the Quran punishment for gambling is the same as for drinking alcohol; public whipping.
Arabiacasino.com revealed that while it is illegal to gamble inside Saudi Arabia many residents can gamble by accessing internet sites outside the kingdom. The U.S. backed Saudi government works hard to block internet access to such sites.
Before any ‘western’ christian goes nuts over the Saudi Sharia laws about gambling they should do some historical research to discover that at one time (and recently in fact) their precious christian religions also banned gambling! Prior to the Gregorian 1980s most U.S. states (except Nevada) banned gambling, based on christian religious law!

Iran has captured ten U.S.-Saudi backed Islamic State (ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH=DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam) insurgents in the province of Kash.
Kash appears to be the main insertion point for anti-Iran “Islamic extremist terrorism” as it’s been the site of several recent DAIISH activities. This latest operation captured the DAIISH digging tunnels under local police stations.
In the province of Kordestan the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps killed at least two U.S.-Saudi backed insurgents during a firefight.
“…failing to identify them properly maligns all those good Muslims around the world, who are being killed by them…… Iran….. We are actually giving them the money to fund the terrorists who’re killing us and our allies!”-Rudy Giuliani, 18 July 2016, totally failing to properly identify the true origin of al Qaeda/Islamic State
Giuliani’s outrageous Republican National Convention statement begs the question; is he a puppet of Israel? We are being attacked by Wahhabi-Salafi Muslims, the extremists who originate from U.S. ally Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who’ve not only declared war on the ‘west’ but declared war on Iran as well!

While the Idaho based Army National Guard 116th Cavalry was deploying to Romania, in April 2016 Idaho Air National Guard’s 124th Fighter Wing/190th Fighter Squadron deployed its A-10Cs to an undisclosed location. However, a coup attempt in NATO Turkey inadvertently revealed the secret deployment location of the Idaho Warthogs.

“After close coordination with our Turkish allies, they have reopened their airspace to military aircraft. As a result, counter-ISIL coalition air operations at all air bases in Turkey have resumed. U.S. facilities at Incirlik are still operating on internal power sources, but we hope to restore commercial power soon.”-Peter Cook, U.S. Department of Defense
Türk Hava Kuvvetleri photo.
NATO member Turkey locked-down the NATO base known as Incirlik, after failed coup members used air tankers stationed at the base to refuel U.S. made F-16s. At least one rebel Turkish senior officer (a member of the High Military Council), who was also the Turkish commander of Incirlik, was captured.
External electrical power to the U.S. Air Force managed NATO base is cutoff, and supposed Obama regime airstrikes against DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]), aka Islamic State, aka ISIS, aka ISIL were halted.
Ironically, Obama’s once secret deployment of the 124th FW/190th FS came after years of repeated threats by the Obama regime to take away the iconic A-10 from Idaho’s Air National Guard, as part of the Obama regime’s ongoing neutering of Idaho’s state militia. Regarding the failed coup attempt, Major Chris Borders assured Idahoans “All of our personnel are present and accounted for and they’re safe and performing their duties in an outstanding manner.”

Incirlik is also used by Germany, United Kingdom and several other NATO members, and has as many as 90 U.S. tactical nuclear weapons.
“We as a nation have to be loud and clear that nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. Attacks on police are an attack on all of us, and the rule of law that makes society possible. We need to temper our words and open our hearts….”-Barack Obama, 17 July 2016
“…..Barack Obama in his second mandate would be buried in a deluge of images which would present him as the most sinister character in the history of the United States.”–Fidel Castro Ruz, 2013

Japan sending three C-130 transport aircraft to South Sudan to evacuate at least 70 Japanese working in the five years old oil rich country. 47 Japan International Cooperation Agency personnel are reported to be trapped by intense fighting in Juba City.
Since 2012 Japan has stationed about 350 military personnel in South Sudan (possibly in violation of their own constitution), as part of United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) ‘peacekeeping’ operations. Those peacekeeping ops fell apart over the weekend as full-on war between South Sudan’s president and South Sudan’s vice president began last Thursday (skirmishes have been ongoing since June), killing nearly 3-hundred people so far, including a Chinese soldier taking part in UNMISS ops.
UNMISS says the Chinese soldier was killed (independent news reports say two Chinese killed) when Jebel ‘House’ was attacked. Chinese government reports say the soldier was killed, and several wounded, when their vehicle was blown up. Several Rwandan soldiers were wounded at Tomping House, witnesses described a “massive explosion”. Unnamed UN workers at a refugee camp say South Sudan’s president ordered helicopters to bomb the refugee camp. Hundreds of civilians are being killed. The paranoid U.S. Obama regime backed president of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, has always accused refugees of being covert terrorists.
UNMISS officials report Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites are being overrun by people fleeing the fighting. The impotent UN Security Council is demanding the fighting between South Sudan’s president and vice president stop.
Incomplete list of U.S. Mining/Industrial/Logistics job loss announcements and shutdowns for June 2016.

Los Angeles based independent film distribution company Alchemy preparing for bankruptcy. Republic of China (Taiwan) owned, but Newbury Park based, Giant (aka Giant USA, Giant Bicycles) warned of mass layoffs due to “flattish sales”. The bicycle maker says ‘soft market conditions’ have forced them to begin consolidating sales and distribution operations, which means people will lose their jobs. France owned security camera and equipment maker Pelco laid off at least 43 people in Clovis. Administrators say the current economy is forcing them to “focus” their operations. In San Francisco, British empire United Kingdom based BAE revealed it laid off 54 people in May. Alcoa issued a layoff WARN for their Fontana operations, 189 jobs gone by August! National Retail Transportation issued a shutdown WARN for its Fontana location, 125 jobs gone by the end of July! Also in Fontana, Ryder laying off 47 people by August.

Electric car maker Tesla has been caught directly importing migrants to work in The Golden State! The San Jose Mercury News reports that the migrants are not legal H-1B workers but are illegal immigrants. The newspaper tracked an immigrant from Slovenia who worked for Tesla. When confronted Tesla administrators flat denied employing the immigrant. Irvine based hobby industry remote controlled vehicle maker Novak Electronics (aka TeamNovak) suddenly shutdown after 38 years: “We are announcing that we have decided to close down our operations effective today. This decision was difficult to make, as this has been a family business spanning two generations.”-Novak family statement
Save Mart issued a shutdown WARN for their Vacaville distribution center, 325 jobs gone by mid-August! Food packager Pactiv shutdown their Vernon operations, 106 jobs gone! In Salinas, Foothill Packing has been fined $235-thousand USD for falsely firing U.S. citizens and replacing them with H-1B migrants: “The employer claimed the workers — who were U.S. citizens — had failed to meet production standards. Investigators found that many of them had consistently exceeded the production of many of the foreign workers doing the same jobs, yet Foothill did not terminate these foreign workers.“-U.S. Department of Labor press release
Colorado: Bankrupt Arch Coal eliminating 80 jobs at its West Elk Mine. Denver based Triangle USA Petroleum now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.
Connecticut: Korea owned Doosan Fuel Cell America revealed it laid off at least 33 employees in the past few months. The mayor of South Windsor said company administrators told him they had to “regroup”. The company makes 4-hundred kw natural gas powered fuel cells. Packaging maker Norampac New England shutting down their Thompson operations, 63 jobs gone between July and August.
Florida: Caterpillar issued a WARN for its Work Tools ops in Jacksonville, 63 jobs gone by the end of November.
Georgia: Maker of fake grass AstroTurf chapter 11 bankrupt busted after losing a legal fight over patent rights. General Dynamics owned Gulfstream Aerospace ‘offering’ voluntary buyouts of employees, starting in August. It was revealed after news was leaked to local news media by employees. In December 2015, it was revealed that Gulfstream Aerospace eliminated 1-thousand 1-hundred U.S. jobs.
Idaho: 15 years after shutting down their Power County phosphorus operations FMC declared their EPA superfund site is now ready to be the new home to Rupert based Valley Agronomics‘ new fertilizer plant (Valley Agronomics is owned by Minnesota based Land O’Lakes). The arrogant ‘christian’ governor of Idaho, Butch Otter, proudly boasted that this was a sign the area’s economy has “risen from the ashes” and then flat lied by saying “…when somebody says we’re gonna return, we’re gonna come back! You can trust us that we will keep our promise in coming back. I want you to remember this day Valley Agronomics and FMC because they told us that! They told us that we can trust them…” This is a lie because it’s not FMC “coming back”, and Valley Agronomics never operated out of the site before! The so called Phoenix Site (as declared by Otter) will employ a measly 50 people once it’s up and running in 2017 (incompetent local TV stations have been reporting 70 jobs created, but those are the temporary construction jobs). I don’t think that qualifies as a local economy that’s “risen from the ashes”.
Otter also quietly revealed to local news media that the once touted Solar Farm project at the Pocatello Airport is dead.
Illinois:Rex Energy shutting down their petroleum extraction ops near Bridgeport, 102 jobs gone by mid-August! The Aurora Laundry Company issued a shutdown WARN, 64 jobs lost by August due tot the linen supply business being sold. Trunk Club shutting down its Goose Island distribution center, 250 jobs lost under a new deal with retailer Nordstrom! In Elgin, design company Southern Graphic Systems issued a shutdown WARN, 30 jobs gone by the mid-July. In Edwardsville, wholesaler United Pet Group issued a layoff WARN, 48 in-house employees unemployed by mid-August due to their jobs being contracted-out. In Bedford Park, Northstar Aerospace lost their contract, 226 jobs gone! In Chicago, Georgia packaging maker WestRock issued a layoff WARN, 173 jobs gone due “to market conditions”! Pony Tools revealed they laid off 61 people back in mid-May. Lake Forest based car parts maker UCI Holdings-International now chapter 11 bankrupt busted, including their subsidiaries Airtex, ASC Industries and Champion. Chicago based bicycle parts maker SRAM laid off 12 people due to 12 months of down sales: “The quarters before were soft as well. It’s been cumulative. Certainly the softness of the last 12 months has not helped. It’s definitely lowered the water level and exposed the rocks.”-Stan Day, president
Indiana: General Electric (GE) shutting down its Bloomington fridgerator factory. The remaining 329 employees to become unemployed due to a 76% crash in sales since 2008! 130 people were laid off in 2013. In Middlebury, motor-home builder Evergreen RV suddenly shutdown (employees were simply told not to come to work) 4-hundred jobs lost! Local news reports say up until the sudden shutdown employees were told the company was doing well financially, and was actually in ‘growth mode’. Some employees had just been hired. Motor-home dealers confirmed they were told the company is dead, because when a company goes out of business the product’s warranty is void. So far company administrators have refused to explain what is going on.
Iowa: What automotive industry recovery? The maker of CO cooling systems for Jeep Liberty, Modine Manufacturing, announced more layoffs at their Washington factory. An additional 60 people becoming jobless on top of those already laid off, in preparation for production to move to Mexico. Canadian Pacific Railroad shutting down their Nahant maintenance shop, 21 jobs lost. In Spencer, Ireland based Eaton Hydraulics eliminating 70 U.S. citizen jobs over the next 12 months. Administrators claim the economy is worse than they thought and they need to “expand some of our restructuring and cost-reduction activities this year.” However, the Sioux City Journal revealed that “Eaton had been training Chinese nationals here in recent months.”
Kansas: LMIAerospace shutting down a Wichita sheet metal factory and moving it to Mexico, due to the crashing U.S. aircraft manufacturing industry: “With customer demand on these platforms declining significantly, and in a competitive pricing environment we had to make the difficult decision to close this operation and move its remaining work….”-Joe DeMartino, coo
Kentucky: Blackhawk Mining issued a shutdown WARN, more than 2-hundred jobs gone between now and August!
Maine: De-inking mill Cascades Auburn Fiber shutting down in July, 45 jobs lost due to the crashing paper market. Twin Rivers Paper Company shutting down paper machine 3 at its Madawaska mill, 49 jobs gone by July. It’s the result of $12-million USD in upgrades to make the paper mill more efficient.
Maryland: In an example of what I call Ripple Effect Layoffs, Baltimore based sports clothing maker Under Armour (they claim to be an American company yet spell ‘armor’ the British empire way) admitted the massive bankruptcy and shutdown of hundreds of Sports Authority stores will cause Under Armour to lose $23-million in its 2nd quarter of 2016! Japan owned plastic maker Hedwin laying off at least 129 people in Baltimore, by the end of August! Hedwin is moving operations to Delaware, and the Baltimore property has been sold to a developer.
Michigan: What automotive industry recovery? Detroit based General Motors (GM) is creating 7-hundred new jobs, not in the United States but across the northern border in Toronto, Canada! Local news media confused as France based vehicle interior maker Faurecia North America has been caught firing employees just as fast as it hires new ones! 105 employees in Sterling Heights will be laid off by July, yet 90 new employees will be hired at the same time at the same location. The new hires are partially paid for by a $350-thousand USD taxpayer funded state grant! So much for the ‘free market’, welcome to covert socialism. The consolidation of Midland based Dow Chemical and Dow Corning will result in 2-thousand 5-hundred jobs lost and the shutdown of a factory in North Carolina and in Japan! Independent drug wholesaler Frank W. Kerr Company suddenly shutdown due to “an unexpected business circumstance.”
New Jersey: Aquity Brands Lighting issued a WARN, 168 people in Edison jobless by mid-August!
New Mexico:Peabody laid off 65 miners at its El Segundo and Lee Ranch mines. Texas based oil field service company Baker Hughes admitted to laying off employees in Farmington, due to “consolidation” ops, but refused to say how many.
New York: Toy maker Fischer Price laying off 75 people at its Aurora toy factory. The jobs will now go to a cheap-o contractor from another country! Process equipment designer Buflovak issued a shutdown WARN for their Buffalo operations, 53 jobs gone by the end of September. In Jamaica, Ultimate Aircraft issued a mass layoff WARN, 145 employees unemployed by August!
North Carolina: What automotive industry recovery? Ryder shutting down its Charlotte GM (General Motors) logistic operations, 124 jobs gone by the end of August! Germany owned truck maker Freightliner laying off 8-hundred people in Gaston County, due to crashing sales!
North Dakota: Maker of mini-excavators Bobcat eliminating 140 jobs at their Gwinnier factory, by Xmas! They’re consolidating operations.
Ohio: Bendix laid off eight people at its commercial vehicle brakes factory in Elyra, and another 16 employees elsewhere, blaming the trucking industry: “Since the start of 2016, build levels at truck and trailer manufacturers have declined rapidly. This decline has now trickled to the industry’s primary suppliers, including Bendix. The layoffs were the result of the down market conditions….”
Oklahoma: Kimray laying off 120 people by Friday, blaming the oil industry BS! Oil field company Seventy Seven Energy chapter 11 bankrupt busted and turning itself over to its bond holders, due to $1-billion USD in debts. D&L Oil Tools conducted a second round of layoffs, 53 jobs lost. In February they laid off 78 people.
Oregon: In Portland, Germany owned truck maker Western Star laying off 170 workers due to crashing sales!
Pennsylvania: Chemical company Koppers issued a shutdown WARN for their Clairton factory, 46 jobs gone by August due to the crashing aluminum industry. Victor Paving and Construction fined $115-thousand USD for failing to pay employees for overtime worked during the past three years! The U.S. Department of Labor says company administrators actually ‘doctored’ employees’ pay records to make it look like they did not work overtime. Japan based Fujifilm shutting down their Hunt Chemicals factory in Dayton, 84 jobs lost. Like most corporations Fujifilm-Hunt is being consolidated.
South Carolina: British empire Canada based bicycle distributor Hawley-Lambert laid off 13 people at its Lexington office. Those jobs are being consolidated back to Canada due to crashing sales.
Tennessee: In Chattanooga, after 45 years MetalTech shutting down their machine shop, 46 jobs lost. General Electric (GE) shutting down three Alstom factories, 235 jobs gone by Xmas due to the crashing railroad industry!
Texas: Dallas based Maxus Energy chapter 11 bankrupt busted, blaming it on the cleanup costs for New Jersey’s Passaic River. Hercules Offshore now chapter 11 bankrupt busted. Draw Another Circle owned Hastings told 375 distribution and HQ employees in Amarillo they will become jobless within 60 days, due to bankruptcy! Weatherford International confirmed they laid off at least 90 people in Katy. The same place where it was revealed that most of the oil workers are migrants: “80 to 100 families have relocated to their home country primarily because of job changes and changes in the economy.”-Richard Rowell, business owner in Katy City
Vermont: Coffee products maker Keurig still in trouble, now 108 people being laid off as production of Keurig Kold is shutdown! It’s blamed on non-stop crashing sales.
Washington: Accell North America’s Seattle Bike Supply has been sold to British empire Canada based Hawley-Lambert. Boeing issued two layoff WARNs for their Puget Sound operations, 211 employees unemployed by mid-July, followed by 99 employees becoming unemployed by the end of August! Once again Seattle based Amazon is in trouble. This time it’s being fined $350-thousand USD by the FAA after United Parcel Service employees were sickened by a chemical reaction in some packages from Amazon. Those packages were filled with chemical cleaners, which are banned in the U.S. from being shipped by air. The chemical cleaning product is called Amazing Liquid Fire, and the UPS employees said they felt like they were burning after fumes came from the package.
Washington DC: The U.S. Department of Labor said the month of May saw the lowest new job growth since 2010, only 38-thousand new jobs created. Unofficial propagandists of unAmerican corporate America, main stream news media ‘experts’, had been promising at least 160-thousand new jobs! The U.S. Department of Labor tracks people considered “not in labor force” in their official unemployment reports, but for some reason the main stream news media refuses to publish the data.
The U.S. Department of Labor is also dealing with an issue I’ve experienced myself; your employer suddenly says you’re now a contractor, reduces your pay and ends benefits. It’s called Employee Misclassification.
Wisconsin: Ameridrives Power Transmissions issued a shutdown WARN for their Green Bay factory, 37 jobs lost by November. The maker of parts for heavy duty “off highway” vehicles is joining the rest of unAmerican corporate America in consolidating operations. In Manitowoc, after 60 years Groz-Beckert shutting down their Foster Needle felting needle factory, 64 jobs gone between July 2016 and January 2017. In Milwaukee, Global Industrial Services issued a shutdown WARN, 27 jobs lost by mid-August. Air Wisconsin Airlines also issued a shutdown WARN for their Milwaukee location, 53 jobs gone by mid-August.
Wyoming: Buckskin Mine laying off an additional 45 employees, local news media reports it brings total Buckskin Mine layoffs close to 6-hundred since 2010! Uranium miner Ur-Energy eliminating 12 jobs due to crashing demand (and prices) for the intensely radioactive metal.
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.”
National Insurance Crime Bureau reports a 16% increase in reported vehicle thefts from 2014 to 2015. The city of Lewiston was number 1, Pocatello number 2, Coeur d’Alene 3, Boise 4 and Idaho Falls number 5. Interestingly KIFI reported that Pocatello administrators denied the insurance industry report.
ObamaCare insurance providers are demanding premium increases from anywhere between 27% and an insane 122% for Blue Cross’s ObamaCare Gold Plan! And its been revealed that Your Health Idaho have been delaying the issuance of special tax forms needed for some Idahoans to avoid paying the ObamaCare tax fine. The forms are supposed to be issued by 31 January, but Your Health Idaho administrators recently admitted they weren’t issued until April!
Idaho Falls police arrested a man for stealing his employer’s bank deposit. The manager of Pretzelmaker, in Grand Teton Mall, discovered that just over $1-thousand USD went missing on Friday.
An Idaho Falls woman pled guilty in federal court to tax fraud. She and her employes at Carillo’s Tax Service intentionally created 2-thousand 5-hundred false tax returns for her clients, such as claiming child tax credits when the clients didn’t have children.
The Idaho Public Charter School Commission warning Syringa Mountain School of financial peril because state funding can’t come close to covering the charter school’s outrageous operating costs: “SMS’s financial position is extremely perilous. While fundraising efforts have met current cash flow needs, SMS has struggled with lack of funds periodically throughout its years in operation.”
The Fire Chief of Chubbuck resigned in connection to the planned merger of the city of Chubbuck’s fire department with the city of Pocatello (both cities are dealing with cash problems despite continually telling the taxpayers the economy is good): “Whether the consolidation goes forward or not it’s not going to be affected by whom the chief is at the time.”-Joshua Ellis, Chubbuck city councilman
The city of Pocatello admitted a recent closed door meeting violated the state’s Open Meeting Law. The closed meeting involved labor negotiations with the firefighter’s union. The city voided the results of the meeting, saying they “cured” their violation of state law. I’ve lived in the area for twenty years and both Pocatello and chubbuck are notorious for hold ing closed meetings, regardless of who the ‘christian elected’ officials are.
Speaking of Chubbuck and Pocatello, the county of Bannock made an appeal to property owners to pay their property taxes, warning of fines and interest charges. It sounded like the county is having problems with property tax collections, which would not be happening if the economy was good. I gotta message for Bannock County: “You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.”
Bannock County also revealed that their prison operations are over budget, and facing record overcrowding! The majority of people being arrested are from out-o-state. The county sheriff said that since last year 90% of the prison budget is now due to overcrowding and is the result of housing prisoners in other counties. He demands that cash strapped Bannock County taxpayers build a bigger county jail (despite voters recently rejecting the proposal) warning that the increased prion population is going to be a “long-term” issue!
Bannock County canceled long term/monthly rental of horse stalls at the county fairgrounds. It’s connected to the recent shutdown after the contractor caring for horses was arrested for mistreatment of animals. Overnight rentals are still available. And next door at the new privately created Wellness Complex, Bannock County revealed that current maintenance costs are paid for by a privately funded trust and current concert bookings, however, that money will run out by the start of 2018 meaning taxpayers could be raped, although most taxpayers ignorantly think they’re already paying for the Wellness Complex: “Funding the park most people think that tax dollars are being used. These monies have come directly from the Portneuf Health Trust. No tax dollars have been used so far.”-Robert Poleki, Bannock County
15 years after shutting down their Power County phosphorus operations FMC declared their EPA superfund site is now ready to be the new home to Rupert based Valley Agronomics‘ new fertilizer plant (Valley Agronomics is owned by Minnesota based Land O’Lakes). The arrogant ‘christian’ governor of Idaho, Butch Otter, proudly boasted that this was a sign the area’s economy has “risen from the ashes” and then flat lied by saying “…when somebody says we’re gonna return, we’re gonna come back! You can trust us that we will keep our promise in coming back. I want you to remember this day Valley Agronomics and FMC because they told us that! They told us that we can trust them…” This is a lie because it’s not FMC “coming back”, and Valley Agronomics never operated out of the site before! The so called Phoenix Site (as declared by Otter) will employ a measly 50 people once it’s up and running in 2017 (incompetent local TV stations have been reporting 70 jobs created, but those are the temporary construction jobs). I don’t think that qualifies as a local economy that’s “risen from the ashes”.
Otter also quietly revealed to local news media that the once touted Solar Farm project at the Pocatello Airport is dead.
The federal government shutdown popular Skinny Dipper Hot Springs, citing possible health concerns after multiple illegal pipes and pools were discovered. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) thinks it will take five years to remove the illegal construction. BLM also says that since 2004 there have been skyrocketing cases of intoxication and even sex crimes at the hot springs.
Bonneville County screwed over its smaller communities when it convinced voters to consolidate ambulance service to the city of Idaho Falls, under the guise of saving money for taxpayers. As a result of the consolidation the ‘christian’ led state government is now suing the town of Swan Valley for repayment of grant money that was used to buy an ambulance back in 2012. Because the town was forced to consolidate service to Idaho Falls the ambulance is not being used, which apparently violates the conditions of the grant.
It’s been revealed that a major buyer of Idaho potatoes, Japan, has banned the ‘fresh’ version of the iconic food product since 2006. That’s the year that the pale cyst nematode showed up in east Idaho farms. Japan has imported fresh potatoes from other U.S. states since then.
A sure sign of a failed state; Jefferson County jacked up taxes for farmers. Under a new property value assessment plan, co-created by the ‘christian’ dominated state government, property values for farmland in Jefferson County have skyrocketed by as much as 72%! Farmers say the property assessments were done by an ‘outside’ group and will appeal the assessments. The county is giving them until 11 July to make an appeal, in person, not on paper.
Mining companies from Canada and China have signed a $700-million USD deal to open a molybdenum mine near Boise. Administrators with American CuMo Mining and MCC8 Group say Idaho has the largest moly-b deposits in the world! $100-million of the $700-million deal will be used to study the viability of the mining ops before any mining takes place.
In Boise, an Oregon woman pled guilty to stealing $850-thousand USD from corrupt ‘christian’ run Saint Luke’s Health System. The woman ran the scam through her Boise employer Pinnacle Pension Services. Saint Luke’s itself has been caught ‘stealing’ local tax dollars.
The economy is so bad that there is an official teacher “famine” in eastern Idaho schools. According to numbers presented by east Idaho school districts, between 2009 and 2014 at least 9-thousand 569 teachers fled eastern Idaho schools! Statewide only 11 of Idaho’s 70 school districts were able to fill vacant positions, at the same time there is and exodus of education students as well. Between 2009 and 2013 there was a 35% drop in college students entering a teacher training program (what happened to Idaho’s free tuition if somebody became a teacher in Idaho?). Idaho Education News revealed that the state Department of Education does not keep track of such data, it’s coming from local districts and the universities themselves, implying that exalted state ‘lawmakers’ are ignoring the situation. Local school district administrators admit low pay for teachers is the main reason for the exodus, but say ObamaCare has jacked up the cost of employee benefits so high that they can’t afford to pay teachers mo-money: “I would not say it’s a teacher shortage we are experiencing, it’s a teacher famine!”-Randy Lords, Madison School District
Due to a lawsuit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing its approval for the way Idaho measures toxic arsenic levels in water (the EPA’s decision to let Idaho ‘christian lawmakers’ ignore arsenic limit regulations seems to coincide with state ‘officials’ quietly allowing natural gas fracking operations). It sounds similar to what happened in Flint, Michigan: “EPA violated the Clean Water Act when it allowed arsenic levels in Idaho waters that are up to 1,000 times greater than the agency has determined are acceptable for this toxic chemical. EPA placed political expediency over human health protection.“– Nina Bell, Northwest Environmental Advocates
The state Department of Health and Welfare confirmed seven ‘refugees’ infected with tuberculosis, but at the same time says they are not “infectious”. The Idaho Statesman reports that in the past five years 4-thousand 5-hundred ‘refugees’ have been quietly settled in The Gem State, at taxpayer expense.
For several years Idaho has been pumping natural gas no thanks to fracking (which was secretly approved by your ‘christian elected’ officials), but now Alta Mesa Idaho reports they’ve struck oil in the Willow Creek area:“Only one completion of 10 thus far has produced primarily oil. This area is in the early stages of exploration….”-John foster, Alta Mesa Idaho
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.”
Incomplete list of U.S. Christian shutdowns and layoffs 2nd Quarter 2016.
Mormon Glen Beck’s ‘news’ network The Blaze laid off at least 40 employees across the U.S. This is at least the second round of layoffs for Glen Beck. Back in February a Daily Beast report basically said former employees accused ‘christian’ Beck of being a backstabber. It’s blamed on crashing ratings and the crashing numbers of people looking at Beck’s websites Glennbeck.com and TheBlaze.com.
Arizona: God powerless to stop his Illinois based Saint Xavier University from shutting down their Gilbert campus. Administrators say they are prepping for the possible halting of Illinois taxpayer funding for low income students.
Colorado: In Colorado Springs, god powerless to stop ‘his’ British empire Salvation Army from shutting down the Cold Weather Shelter. Administrators said their shelter was a temporary short term fix requested by the county, but the homeless situation has become so bad that it “…needs to be addressed as a community.” Also in Colorado Springs, after three years Curbside Cuisine shutting down multiple lots owned by god’s Young Men’s Christian Association and being rented to independent food trucks. YMCA administrators said Curbside Cuisine wasn’t making enough money off renting out the YMCA property so they’re being handed back to the YMCA. One food truck operator said he got three weeks notice of shutdown: “I don’t know where to move. We have been here all winter and didn’t make any money and now the weather is starting to get better and we have to move. It is not fair.”-Hayder Hassan, former U.S. Army translator now food truck operator
Connecticut: Despite surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions god powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ East Avenue United Methodist Church. Church leaders adopted an “off the fence faith” policy by that failed to stop The Rapture, I mean massive loss of believers.
Florida: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Leo University system from eliminating 30 jobs due to “restructuring”. Interestingly local news reports say administrators claim they’re actually creating new jobs. God powerless to stop ‘his’ church organ maker Tadlock Piano Company from shutting down their Dothan store. They’re consolidating ops to Panama City.
Georgia: In Savannah, god powerless to stop ‘his’ Young Men’s Christian Association from shutting down their 17 years old Southside YMCA. But get this, the YMCA is being shutdown by god’s own Saint Joseph Hospital, who owns the property the Southside YMCA is using.
Idaho: In Twin Falls, after 37 years god powerless to stop ‘unofficial’ Mormon Bell’s Family Books from being shutdown by ‘official’ Mormon bookstore Deseret Book! You read right! Local news reports say Bell’s Family Books was facing increasing competition, the final straw being when their own religion opened a bookstore down the street.
More charges of corruption in the ‘christian’ controlled Gem State: A city employee of 14 years has resigned from her job with Idaho City after being accused of taking taxpayer funding. Idaho State Police say she took about $47-thousand USD over a two years period, two other city employees were fired. According to magicvalley.com in the past year and a half Idaho doctors were paid-off by drug companies, to the tune of $24-million USD of ‘incentives’! Now you know why so many ‘christians’ in The Gem State are wacked on evil prescription drugs! ‘Suspect’ State Treasurer Ron Crane is now facing wrongful termination charges by a former employee, who was fired “in direct retaliation for communicating in good faith the existence of extensive waste of public funds/manpower and illegality”. In November 2015 five state employees reported to their superiors massive corruption in the Republican ‘christian’ controlled state government. Instead of being praised for revealing the waste of taxpayer funding, they were accused of insubordination! Two were fired! Idaho state level ‘elected christian’ politicians have so far spent $136-thousand taxpayer dollars on travel expenses for just 75 days of their legislative session! The revelation was made after The Associated Press forced the release of data through a Freedom of Information demand. Not all reimbursement requests have been submitted, so expect the total tax dollars spent to go up. It was revealed that state taxpayers were forced to pay outrageous three-fold increase in overtime pay to Idaho State Police (ISP) trainees. ‘Christian’ ISP administrators explained, without blinking an eye, that it was mainly for trainee commute times to the academy because there was No Room at the Inn, I mean the ISP’s academy dorms in Meridian, or at the National Guard barracks on Gowen Field! (how many civilian businesses pay their employees to commute?) The Idaho Housing and Finance Association reports that the number of homeless people in northern Idaho has increased 5% since 2015. Local true Christian charities say the homeless rate is actually higher than the official count because not all localities are included in the head-counting, and warned the homeless rate will go up: “Although the homeless number is always interesting, those living from paycheck to paycheck who are on the verge of losing their homes is far greater. That’s the bigger issue.”-Jeff Conroy, Saint Vincent de Paul of North Idaho
Despite boasting of a recovering economy the self proclaimed ‘christian’ leaders of Idaho have decided they must ration the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, incorrectly called Food Stamps). Starting in July instead of getting all their food assistance on a single day, it will be spread over a ten days period, affecting 82-thousand of Idaho’s 1.5-million residents. It was revealed that this rationing of food assistance was actually ordered by state ‘elected christian lawmakers’ back in 2014! The British empire created christian Salvation Army protested the SNAP rationing by pointing out that poor Idahoans have been screwed so much by state ‘christian lawmakers’ that up to 90% of people coming into Salvation Army food banks are there to supplement the meager scraps given to them by Idaho’s SNAP! (as a single healthy unemployed adult male I can confirm that there are plenty of poor people in Idaho who don’t qualify for ‘christian’ state manipulated social programs) This comes as Gem State ‘christian’ led Department of Labor sold its Right to Work Internet Unemployment System (ius) to the states of Iowa and Vermont! In Boise, ‘christian’ healthcare scammer Saint Luke’s Regional Medical Center has been found in violation of the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). In 2015 an employee reported to the U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) that Saint Luke’s was not ‘coding’ certain time off as FMLA. The DoL reviewed two years worth of “hundreds” of employee records and concluded that Saint Luke’s “…failed to ensure that all employees on FMLA-covered leave received all the protections…” Interestingly the DoL determination, and resulting Saint Luke’s resolution actually took place in November 2015, but only now is being made public! In February I reported how Saint Luke’s was caught stealing local property taxes! The AFL-CIO’s annual Executive PayWatch survey reports that chief executive officers in ‘christian’ controlled Idaho are paid an average 277 times more than Idahoans earning minimum wage, and 149 times more than Idahoans earning a ‘living wage’!

Pennsylvania: Presbyterian/Agnostic Warren Buffett owned Kraft-Heinz moving its Lehigh Valley Grey Poupon production to Michigan, because it’s being paid half-a-million dollars by Michigan taxpayers and $17-million USD by private investors. Also, Kraft-Heinz is moving its Lehigh Valley Tassimo coffee production to Canada, claiming that the majority of Tassimo customers live in Canada. Both moves will cost Pennsylvania as many as 7-hundred jobs!
