Former Secret Service agent implies Hillary loves violence!

“There is no justification for violence, for hate, for attacks on men and women who just put their lives on the line every day in service of our families and communities.”-Hillary Clinton, 17 July 2016

“We came, we saw, he died, ha ha ha ha…”-Hillary Clinton, 2011 interview with CBSNews concerning Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi being sodomized, tortured and killed by Obama supported ‘peaceful’ rebels

After slaughtering Gaddafi, Obama regime backed ‘peaceful’ rebels then tortured one of his sons.

It was revealed last year that it was Hillary Clinton who pushed Barack Obama to go to war against Gaddafi, just a few years after Clinton welcomed one of Gaddafi’s sons to the White House as a new ally.

“From the bottom of my soul I know this to be true. And with Hillary’s latest rise, I realize that her own leadership style — volcanic, impulsive, enabled by sycophants and disdainful of the rule set for everyone else — hasn’t changed a bit.”-Gary Byrne, former Secret Service agent during the Bill Clinton regime

“…Mike Huckabee slammed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Saturday for allegedly taking credit for the death of Osama Bin Laden but not responsibility for an attack on a State Department facility in Libya.”

Emails proving (yet again) that the U.S. mainstream news media are puppets under the hands of Hillary Clinton.

“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

According to Amnesty International, the 2011 Obama led ‘regime change’ operation in Libya continued to kill people in 2015: “Civilians continued to bear the brunt of the conflict. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, by October some 2.44 million people needed humanitarian assistance and protection. The number of civilian casualties remained unknown, but some 20,000 were injured between May 2014 and May 2015, the UN estimated. At least 600 civilians were killed in 2015 according to the ICC Prosecutor.”

LibyaBodyCount.org says that so far in 2016 at least 717 people have been killed.

Gun Ban Fail: Man kills 84 people with truck full of fake guns!

15 July 2016 (12:07 UTC-07 Tango 01) 25 Tir 1395/09 Shawwal 1437/12 Yi-Wei 4714

Yet again, in the anti-gun European country known as France, people have been killed by a terrorist act, the main weapon was a delivery truck.

France has strict anti-gun laws, pistols and any gun labeled a “weapon of war” are banned. Rifles and shotguns (called Long Guns) are strictly regulated.

In the city of Nice a man drove a truck down a crowded pedestrian crowded street, killing at least 84 people and wounding 50.  French news sources claim the man was also shooting at people, that claim has not been verified by police.  The cops killed him, by blasting him through the truck’s windshield, with a bunch of guns.  Isn’t it interesting that pistols and “weapons of war” are banned for civilian ownership in France, yet cops are allowed to use them?

Also, there  are reports the delivery truck was full of guns and explosives, but unnamed police sources say those ‘guns’, and one grenade, turned out to be “fake”!  Police say the driver, who was a legal migrant worker from Tunis, had a short criminal record (charged with crimes but never convicted of a felony) but was never considered a terrorist threat.  News media interviews with the man’s neighbors say he never took part in religious activities.

Twice in one week Security Bot injures child! Christianity behind Rise of the Machines?

14 July 2016 (11:14 UTC-07 Tango 01) 24 Tir 1395/08 Shawwal 1437/11 Yi-Wei 4714

“What is that thing? What is that thing!”-mother of victim screaming as she tried to pull her child from under the 300 pound K5 security-bot

For the second time in one week, and at the same California shopping mall (Stanford Shopping Center), a 136kg (3-hundred pound) security guard job stealing security robot has injured a human.

Knightscope, the maker of the K5 Autonomous Data Machine (Machine Identification Number 13), claimed in the latest incident the child was running backwards, which somehow confused the bot, and got run over.  The angry parents call bullshit on that claim as their 16 months old is too young to know how to run backwards!  They say the security-bot drove straight for their child, without deviation, knocking him face-down.  Their child survived the accident with a long scratch on the back of his leg.

Unnamed mall employees said this was the second time there was an “incident” with the K5, mall management refused to confirm, or deny, the employee’s claim.  Knightscope claims the latest reported incident is the first and only incident.

Interestingly a Catholic news source published a report, last month, which stated that “Robots evolving to defend themselves as people prove dangerous” and concluded that “It’s important that humans respect robots…” !  The report documents how around the world robots are being attacked by humans.  It also promoted the use of the K5 Autonomous Data Machine.

Obama’s New War: Chinese soldier killed! Japan evacuates South Sudan! UN troops run for their lives!

11 July 2016 (07:24 UTC-07 Tango 01) 21 Tir 1395/05 Shawwal 1437/08 Yi-Wei 4714

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.

False Flag : Cop ‘watcher’ says “Something didn’t seem right” about police presence at Dallas BLM demo!

08 July 2016 / 20:20 UTC-07 Tango 01 (19 Tir 1395/03 Shawwal 1437/06 Yi-Wei 4714)

Idaho TV station KIFI interviewed a man in Dallas who is part of a citizen’s police watchdog group called Dallas Cop Block.  Jose Vela first said “At first I thought maybe the police were corralling people and then all of I sudden I heard ‘they’re shooting they’re shooting.'”

On KIFI’s 6pm newscast they ran a part of their interview with Vela in which he stated “I think the Dallas police were caught with their pants down….  I didn’t see any heavily armed police… something didn’t seem right…” at the Black Lives Matter demonstration because he said it looked like they were not prepared in the usual way for protest deployment, meaning they were wearing standard uniforms and armed with standard issue pistols.

At the time I write this KIFI has not posted that part of their interview with Vela on their website.  They have a politically correct version currently posted in which Vela says he feels sorry for the police.

False Flag : Dallas police now say it was a “lone shooter”! Are the cops on drugs?

08 July 2016 (17:39 UTC-07 Tango 01)18 Tir 1395/02 Shawwal 1437/05 Yi-Wei 4714

16 hours after what’s called the deadliest attack since 9/11, the police chief of Dallas, Texas, now says the shooting of more than a dozen police and civilians was the work of a “lone shooter”.

But from the beginning it was the police who told local news media that there was at least four shooters!  After about eight hours they changed it to two shooters, with the police chief saying he wasn’t going to comment on the people they had arrested for being suspects.  There’s even video of a suspect on the ground shooting a cop at point blank range, supposedly while a sniper is picking off cops from a parking garage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUQ25Hj0hdc&feature=player_embedded

Police chief David Brown stated that police were confused by the situation as it unfolded, but now they’re sure it was a lone shooter; a 25 years old ‘black’ U.S. Army Afghanistan veteran who “wanted to kill white police” in retaliation for police killing ‘black’ people.  Police say they killed the lone shooter using a robot to sneak a small bomb to the shooter’s location, it’s considered a ‘first’ in police operations.  The point is, police chief Brown admitted that even cops get confused in stressful situations, that’s his excuse for why they publicly stated at the beginning there were at least four shooters.  Now think about all those killings of civilians by police.  If you watch the videos of those killings it’s obvious the cops are freaking out.

Are people who want to be a cop required to prove they can ‘maintain’ under stressful situations?  Many cops are on prescription psychoactive drugs (for anxieties, which proves they can’t handle stressful situations), even illegal drugs (Boston Globe: 75 officers failed city drug tests, Cocaine use most prevalent. Drug Policy Alliance: The GAO reported that from 1993 to 1998 the FBI opened at least 400 state and local police corruption cases that were drug-related, leading to the conviction of over 300 officers. Federal Bureau of Investigation: Nine Law Enforcement Officers Sentenced for Protecting Drug Dealers.).  Realize what we have in the U.S. is a lot of people who can’t handle stress, whacked out on prescription and/or illegal drugs, and employed as gun armed police who have the authority to kill you!

“It’s like a never-ending funeral.” : June 2016 U.S. tech/communications destruction

More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high-tech competition for your demise. Incomplete list of U.S. internet/high-tech/communications job destruction announcements in June 2016:

Arizona: California based internet health insurance management company YourPeople-Zenefits shutting down their Grand Canyon State sales office, at least 1-hundred jobs lost!

California: Ebay posted a mass layoff WARN saying they laid off 538 people, back in February 2015!   Cupertino based hard disk maker Seagate Technology announced it will kill off 1-thousand 6-hundred jobs by the end of its third quarter!  Renewable energy company SunEdison continues killing jobs, this time 121 people in three locations were laid off at the end of May!  Once touted as one of the fastest growing women owned companies, military InfoTech contractor Xtreme Solutions issued a layoff WARN for their Ontario location, 80 jobs lost by the end of August.  San Jose based Apple computer “human interface” parts supplier Synaptics eliminating 160 jobs!

Steiner eOptics (aka Laser Devices) shutting down their Monterey location, 69 jobs gone by August. Connecticut based Xerox shutting down their Cerritos location, 39 jobs lost by August. Internet slots website Playtika eliminating 111 Santa Monica jobs by August!  In Los Angeles, ad agency 72andSunny announced it laid off “2%” of its employees in an attempt to maintain the “long term health” of the company.  San Jose based electronic payments company VeriFone Systems reports a surprise decline in revenue and will layoff an undisclosed number of people, blaming it on “difficult market dynamics”.   Solar Link eliminating 169 jobs in Ontario by mid-July!

Indiana: CTS Electric Components shutting down their Elkhart factory and moving production to Mexico and China. 230 U.S. jobs gone by mid-2018!

Maryland:  Missouri based finance and healthcare software maker DST Systems shutdown its Baltimore office. Georgia based payment processor Global Payments shutting down their Owings Mills ops, 334 jobs lost between July 2016 and March 2017! Local news media say administrators refused to say why. Global Payments recently reported big profits, and in 2007 said they would expand their Ownings Mills operations. It might have to do with the $3.8-billion USD spent on taking over rivals!

Massachusetts: Braintree based radio station owner Greater Media eliminated an undisclosed number of jobs across the U.S.  In the state of Boston Weak, MassMutual Financial Group laying off at least 1-hundred U.S. citizen InfoTech employees, replacing them with H-1B migrants!

Minnesota: The Post Bulletin laid off 11 people due to declining advertising revenue.

Missouri: Finance and healthcare software maker DST Systems eliminating 150 jobs in Kansas City!  Bankrupt solar panel and windmill maker SunEdison eliminating at least 43 jobs.

Ohio: In Lockbourne, IntelliSource eliminating 235 jobs by mid-August, apparently due to losing its contract at the Zulily Fulfillment Center.

Oklahoma: Newspaper The Oklahoman shutting down its packaging and printing ops in Oklahoma City, 130 jobs gone by September! The Oklahoman was Oklahoma’s largest newspaper but will now contract out work to rival Tulsa World.

Oregon: Data center Peak Hosting laid off 135 people and declared bankruptcy after losing a major internet video gaming client!   It was revealed that last month’s 784 layoffs by computer chip maker Intel were the largest ever mass layoff in Oregon’s history! Local news media says several hundreds more are expected to lose their jobs by the end of the year.

Texas:  ‘Tech distributor’ Ingram Micro eliminating 937 jobs in Fort Worth, as part of its $6-billion USD sell-out to Chinese company Tianjin Tianhai-HNA Group!  In Austin, former drivers for California based internet companies Uber and Lyft filed multiple lawsuits over their sudden dismissal in May. The sudden halt to Uber and Lyft operations is the result of Austin residents approving a new law requiring Uber and Lyft to conduct background checks on ‘independent’ drivers. Apparently Uber and Lyft didn’t want to comply, so they laid off hundreds (possibly thousands) of people without warning. (Uber has already agreed to settle a lawsuit by 350-thousand drivers in California and Massachusetts who say Uber never reimbursed them for fuel expenses! Lyft is offering to pay California drivers $27-million USD to settle their legal action!)  Also in Austin, once praised as one of the “best funded startups” 10 years old Spiceworks announced it must layoff 12% of its hundreds of employees, the CEO would only say “…new efforts and strategies require us to reconsider our own organization…”  

Washington: Redmond based Microsoft is buying LinkdIn for $26.2-billion USD, expect mass layoffs.  Seattle based Amazon will invest $3-billion USD in creating new jobs, but not here in the United States, the money is going to India! By the way, that’s on top of the $2-billion Amazon has already pumped into India!

Wisconsin: Texas based InfoTech company Compucom issued a shutdown WARN for its Waukesha operations, at least 16 jobs gone by the end of August.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed
