“cash flow negative” “…time to pack up.” “This is absolutely a trend.” No more Jamba Juice? Idaho schools get mean, fires people over $1.70 lunches! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 23 December 2015

What housing market recovery?  The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports that sales of existing homes crashed in November, down 10.5% from October (which, by the way, were revised downward from previous reports), and down by 210-thousand sales compared to November 2014!  By region: NorthEast down by 9.2%, South down by 6.2%, MidWest crashed by 15.4% and the West also crashed by 13.9%.

California: Emeryville based Jamba Juice announced it is shutting down 30 stores in Illinois and New York, 104 jobs lost!  Administrators said the stores “are cash flow negative”.  The evil city of Oakland spent $72-thousand tax dollars evicting homeless people from 162 homeless camps!  That’s a lot of homeless people, gee I thought there was an economic recovery Barack Obama?   A famous ‘Hollywood’ junkyard that nobody knows about is shutting down.  The Aadlen Brothers Auto Wrecking (aka U Pick Parts) junkyard has been used in dozens of TV shows, especially police/crime shows, over the years but is now shutting down due to crashing revenues.  Another problem is that the junkyard is also an unofficial abandoned cat refuge estimated to have dozens of homeless cats.  Efforts are being made to capture the cats and find homes for them.  In Santa Monica, restaurant Cadet shutting down after the Gregorian New Year’s Day: “…it was not financially viable and will be doing their best to reposition the staff…”-official statement

Florida:  MV Transportation issued a WARN saying 80 people in Orlando will lose their jobs by mid-February 2016.

Idaho:  More proof public school systems are covert Concentration Camps! The evil and corrupt School District 25 (aka Pocatello/Chubbuck school district) fired a food service worker for giving a starving child a free lunch valued at a measly one dollar and 70 cents!  On top of that the A-hole District 25 administrators sent the good samaritan (now former) employee a letter stating they consider her act of charity “theft”!  The former food service employee told new sources she offered to pay for the meal herself but that offer was rejected by her supervisor: “…what are you supposed to do when the kids tell you they are hungry and they don’t have any money?”-Dalene Bowden, hero District 25 food service worker fired for trying to feed starving children

More proof Idaho’s version of ObamaCare is meant to kill you.  The state Department of Health and Welfare is slashing Medicaid payments for in-home care of mentally disabled people.  Already, in-home care operation A New Leaf, in Meridian, is shutting down and eliminating 39 jobs as a result.  Many more in-home care operations will be shutdown as the draconian state ‘lawmakers’ want to warehouse disabled people in institutions.  (better do your research to find out what happened the last time people were warehoused in institutions, it not pretty)

For more proof your Gem State ‘lawmakers’ are out to get you, a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court judge ruled that your ‘elected’ lawmakers act with extreme hatred (“animus”) regarding things like animal rights: “The overwhelming evidence gleaned from the legislative history indicates that (the statute) was intended to silence animal welfare activists, or other whistleblowers, who seek to publish speech critical of the agricultural production industry….a review of the (statute’s) legislative history leads to the inevitable conclusion that the law’s primary purpose is to protect agricultural facility owners by, in effect, suppressing speech critical of animal-agriculture practices.”-B. Lynn Winmill

Wild turkeys seen near Inkom, Idaho

Did you pay too much for your holiday turkey?  Producers blame a shortage of the big birds for high store prices but the state Department of Fish and Game claims there are so many wild turkeys in eastern Idaho that they’re asking for a special “expanded” hunting season.  Turkeys are not native to Idaho and their growing population is considered a threat to native game birds.

Now to northern Idaho where the city of Dalton Gardens wants to spend local taxpayer funding on birth control, not for humans but for deer!   Despite the fact the deer were there first city administrators say there are too many and they’re destroying property values, so they want to spend tax dollars on a vaccine that will prevent pregnancies for at least two years.   This is the same animal-people hating city that gave us politician “…Vito Barbieri, who famously asked a physician during a February House committee hearing if doctors could perform gynecological exams remotely by having patients swallow tiny cameras.”

Indiana: The girls prison called Muskegon River Youth Center, in Ladoga, shutting down 20 jobs threatened.  News reports gave this ominous reason; “….will close for a few months and will re-open as a slightly different type of facility.”

Kansas: News reports say Overland Park based cell phone company Sprint has begun its planned $2-billion USD in layoffs/cost cutting a month early!    The layoffs were originally to take place by the end of January 2016, now Sprint administrators say the undisclosed number of massive layoffs will be “largely completed” by the end of January.  Don’t forget, Sprint administrators claim they’re hurting for money so much that for employees laid off after January 2016 the severance package will be cut in half!

Montana: State ‘lawmakers’ are shutting down the Montana Developmental Center.  State representative Denise Hayman (who is opposed to shutting MDC down) says mentally handicapped patients are already being transferred to prisons!     

New Jersey:  The Tenafly Swim Club chapter 7 bankrupt busted.  The New Jersey Pool Manager’s Association says it’s proof there ain’t no economic recovery: “This is absolutely a trend.  We’ve gone from having 54 pool clubs to 45 in our association in about 10 years.”-Ray Roig

New Mexico: In Farmington, after five years the SNS Skate Shop shutting down when the inventory is gone: “The year’s been very slow for everyone that I’ve talked to. I just decided that it was time to pack up.”-Daniel Diswood, owner

Ohio: Forrester’s on the River shutdown after a quagmire of lost business and legal battles.   Railroad operator Norfolk Southern shutting down one of its coal docks, blaming crashing demand for coal, 30 jobs lost as soon as the coal is gotten rid of.

Pennsylvania:  After 43 years of feeding hundreds of hungry families every week the Chester County Food Kitchen shutdown.  The operators blame crashing donations and skyrocketing costs of operation.

Texas: In Fort Worth, after 25 years Shelton’s Barber Shop shutdown.

Virginia: In Fredericksburg, after 11 years Hop & Wine shutting down in January 2016.  The owner blamed many factors including state booze laws.

Wisconsin: Chieftain Sand & Proppant Barron revealed it laid off 63 people.  It’s connected to the oil industry’s fracking operations.

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.”

This year state ‘lawmakers’ have agreed to pay last minute local fire fighting hirees 65% of what is considered “standard rate” for contracted firefighters!  The rip off artist known as Your Health Idaho ObamaCare enforcer is being cut loose from federal funding. For 2016 Your Health Idaho is expected to fund itself, which guarantees rates will go up.  And for more proof Idaho lawmaker’s version of ObamaCare is evil: “Students and their families are also facing steep increases in prices for policies offered on the state exchange, with average prices for a minimal coverage ‘bronze’ plan exceeding $200 per month.”-from staff report recently presented to Idaho Board of Education

“My dad’s dying wish was don’t let them get away with this and don’t ever work out there.”–Steve Bailey, son of INL worker who died of radiation

Days after news source McClatchy and the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute revealed the U.S. nuclear industry has killed off at least 33-thousand 480 nuclear employees, the data wrested from the hands of the U.S. Department of Labor shows at least 471 Idahoans were killed by radiation they were exposed to at the Idaho National Laboratory and Argonne West.

That number is just for those families the federal government compensated,  it’s just 37% of all Idaho families who filed a claim for the death of a relative who died from possible radiation contamination!

INL admits “nobody really knows what’s going on.”

U.S. nuclear industry conducting genocide on nuke workers!

70-million government records from the past 70 years were reviewed by news organization McClatchy, and the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute.  However, the number of people listed as killed directly by their nuke industry jobs are based only on cases where the government admitted to and then compensated the victim’s families.  McClatchy investigators pointed out that the federal government intentionally dumbs down the actual number of victims.

The investigation also revealed that current radiation standards are not reducing the number of people being exposed to radiation.

It’s been revealed that Christian Catholic Church and the British empire Canadian government conducted mass torture and genocide against French Canadian Christian orphans!   The victims are known as Duplessis’ Orphans. In a recent interview on RT an activist said the genocide involved the United States, as many orphans were disappeared to several New England states. The Christian government of Canada refuses to make reparations and the Catholic Church refuses to acknowledge their role.   Quebec denies requests to disclose documents on Duplessis orphans

Asylum: “In the 1950s, Quebec’s Duplessis government and the Catholic Church warehoused thousands of orphaned children for use in often fatal drug experiments. This shameful piece of Quebec history provides the motivation for Asylum’s present-day plot.”

“The Duplessis Orphans were the victims of a scheme in which approximately 20,000 orphaned children were falsely certified as mentally ill by the government of the province of Quebec, Canada, and confined to psychiatric institutions.”

UN occupied Central African Republic: Voting has begun on a new United Nations influenced Constitution.

NATO Czech Republic:  The President, Milos Zeman, criticized NATO Turkey “I think Turkey is indeed a member of NATO, but sometimes behaves as if it’s more an ally of DAIISH.”

NATO puppet Egypt:  10 Egyptian police were wounded after a remote detonated bomb exploded as their armored vehicles passed over it.  It happened in the Sinai.  The Sinai, which borders Israeli occupied Palestine, is considered a refuge for Israeli backed insurgents.    The Egyptian junta has rounded up even more members of Muslim Brotherhood, this time 220 have been falsely imprisoned.  The ‘western’ backed junta has already disappeared thousands of Muslim Brotherhood members since the coup.

Ethiopia:  17 Muslims wounded after somebody threw grenades into the Grand Anwar Mosque.

NATO Germany: In Leipzig, 23 anti-Muslim Christians temporarily detained and 69 government Christian cops wounded by those very anti-Muslim Christians.  50 cop cars damaged.

NATO Greece: 1-hundred Muslim migrants were detained after fights broke out in a migrant concentration camp when one group started blackmailing the others: “I was told that a group of Moroccans were blackmailing people to give them money, or be forced to leave.”- Greek Alternate Minister Yiannis Mouzalas

But don’t blame Syrians, the mayor of Palio Faliro, Dionysis Hatzidakis, said most of the migrants at the camp are “Moroccans, Algerians, Yemenis, Eritreans”.

Occupied Iraq: Obama regime admitted they have deployed at least 3-thousand 5-hundred military personnel in Iraq, and more are on the way.  The traitorous False Kurdish government of Iraqi Kurdistan plans to deliver natural gas to NATO Turkey by late 2016.  This is despite the fact that Turkey continues to invade their territory.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA): In the first ever elections where women could vote, a woman was elected to city office in Madrakah.  Yemen Army hit the Saudi Khalid Bin Abdul-Aziz Air Base in Khamis Mushait, with a Scud type ballistic missile they call Qahir-1.   Interestingly the Yemen Army says the Qahir-1 is a surface to air missile, which makes you wonder about their intelligence, it is clearly a surface to surface ballistic missile.

Korea:  Peace talks between Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Republic of Korea (U.S. ally) officially ended with no results.

Montenegro:  At least 5-thousand Christians protested their government’s desire to join with NATO, and called their ‘elected’ officials “murderers”.  Christian protesters also questioned the NATO led War on Muslims: “What has Afghanistan done wrong, what has Iraq done wrong? Why has Libya been destroyed, what’s happening today in Syria? Can we close our eyes to that?”

Nigeria: Reports that government forces killed at least seven Shia Muslims as they were attending a religious service.  The government soldiers then attacked the home of the local Shia cleric.  Reports say 15 Muslims trying to protect the cleric were killed.

Pakistan:  At a clothing bazaar in Kurram Valley a bomb exploded killing at least 15 Muslims and wounding as many as 47.    The government boasts it has killed 3-thousand 4-hundred insurgents since June 2014, mainly from the Pashtun ethnic group.

Israeli Occupied Palestine:  The city of Tulkarm has been locked down by Israeli forces for the past three days.  Jewish gestapo say it’s in retaliation for the assassination attempt against a known Jewish terrorist.   In the city of al-Bireh, Israeli occupiers wounded 20 people with rubber coated steel bullets and crowd suppressant (CS) gas.  In the town of Kafr Qaddum, Israeli occupiers shot and wounded an unarmed 17 years old boy in the leg.

NATO Poland:  An estimated 50-thousand Christians (just in the city of Warsaw) protested the ‘democratic’ government’s plans to change the country’s Constitution regarding individual rights.  There were protesters in other Polish cities as well, and the numbers shocked even the protest organizers.   

Russia: 

Somalia:  Government forces say they’ve captured Barwaqo village, near the border with Kenya.  Government sources say the village had been attacked by DAIISH.

NATO Spain:  Police seized 1.4 tonnes of cocaine that arrived from the U.S. puppet country of Colombia in South America.  The sneaky U.S. puppet drug smugglers disguised the cocaine by molding it to look like wooden pallets and charcoal briquets.  12 people were arrested including people from United Arab Emirates.

Switzerland: The two Syrians arrested have now been charged with conspiracy to make bombs and toxic gas.

Syria:  Western Christian and Wahhabi Muslim supported insurgents lobbed at least 15 mortar rounds into Damascus City, killing two civilians and wounding six others. 

The latest female Christian Anarchist to join the fight against Western Christian supported insurgents, her name is Babylonia!

  True Christian Anarchist Kurdish females have joined the YPJ (female branch of YPG) to fight the False Flag Western Christian-Wahhabi Muslim supported insurgents in Hasaka Governorate (Rojave).

NATO Turkey: The Ankara office of Hurriyet Daily News was shot-up by unknown drive by shooters.  So much for government run gun control.  Government personnel assaulted the predominantly Kurdish city of Batman, at least four people disappeared by Turkish police.

NATO United Kingdom:  Paranoid prescription-drugged-up Christians forced a Muslim man off the Piccadilly Line train because they didn’t like the way he was using his iPad!  Efforts by sane Christians to defend the Muslim man failed.

NATO United States of America:

New video shows two fat-ass Christian Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies blasting away at a man who was walking away from them.  The man falls after the first shots, then tries to crawl away and the fat-ass-hole Christian deputies really start unloading the rounds into hims!    In Pennsylvania, a man with guns walked into a Walmart, police arrived amazingly fast and shot and killed him (earlier reports said the man shot and wounded himself)!  No doubt those Christians who want to take your 2nd-Amendment Rights from you other Christians will add this incident to their bag of tricks.   In Mississippi, a man arrested for killing cops was found mysteriously murdered in his jail cell, the cop loving coroner declared the 30 years old man died from heart disease.  In Indiana, Indianapolis police shot and killed an apparently drugged-up man, he had a knife and smashed the windshield of their precious cop car.  For a second time in the past week a Christian Florida cop shot a person carrying a pantywaste air soft gun!  But instead of killing the victim, the 14 years old victim was wounded in the leg.  The cop claims the boy threatened him with the BB gun.  In Illinois, a car fleeing Chicago police smashed into a van, one person killed, 12 wounded, proving that cars can make better weapons than guns!  The normally anti-2nd Amendment Right (for individuals anyway) ACLU is in big trouble after one of their leaders posted a ‘joke’ on social media that he wanted to shoot Donald Trump!   In Washington state, Everett police say a man was shot and killed at a house party.  Somebody anonymously took him to a hospital.  Despite all the people at the house party police say they are unable to find a suspect and are asking the general public for help.  In Seattle a woman was shot and critically wounded, police say they have no idea who shot her, another person was slightly wounded.  More proof Christian ‘Mericans are paranoid drug addicts; in the dip-noodle state of Colorado a bar in Watkins was locked after a waitress freaked out thinking a microphone stand was a gun!

The brand new, and expensive, USS Milwaukee broke down 20 days after being commissioned for the U.S. Navy.  It’s now under tow for emergency repairs.   The U.S. has decided to resume postal service with Cold War enemy Cuba.

Yemen:  Reports of KSA led airstrikes in Serwah District of Mareb Province.  Reports of a drone strike on homes in the Al-Nodr area in Majzar District.  KSA led airstrikes reported in Kashar District of Hajjah Province.  Unconfirmed reports that Yemen Army and Mujahideen have liberated an area of Ta’izz Province from KSA occupation, killing at least 19 U.S. Academi (Xe, Blackwater) mercenaries.  In the Province of Dhale, unconfirmed reports that 13 U.S. Academi (Xe, Blackwater) mercenaries were killed. Unconfirmed reports that Yemen Army shot down a KSA recon UAV over the Asir region.

COP 21 False Flag: Study says tropical groundwater benefits from climate change!

12 December 2015 (15:17 UTC-07 Tango 01)/21 Azar 1394/29 Safar 1437/02 Wu Zi (11th month) 4713

“Our results suggest that the intense rainfall brought about by global warming strongly favors the renewal of groundwater resources.”-Richard Taylor, professor having a ‘no shit Sherlock’ moment

The University College London released the results of their study of the effects of climate change on groundwater sources in the tropics.  In a ‘no shit Sherlock’ moment they concluded that increased rainfall is beneficial as it recharges tropical groundwater sources.

What this means is that the areas of the world where most of the population is expected to be living by Gregorian year 2050 should have enough water to support that population.

Pocatello & Chubbuck, Idaho, running out of water as their main aquifer does not recharge with rain

False Flag: Ice Core samples prove Climate Change not “self inflicted”!

World War 3, 12 December 2015: More proof San Bernardino shooting False Flag by your government! Yemen shoots down Arizona National Guard F-16? Saudi Arabia bombs their own Blackwater mercenaries!

Islamic State-ISIS-ISIL-DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]), False Flag operatives created by United States, European Union, Israel and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Afghanistan:  In Kabul, two Spanish embassy cops were killed after a Toyota truck bomb exploded near the Spanish embassy.  Spanish administrators insist their embassy was not the target. Five Afghan cops and one civilian were also killed.  Three attackers killed, one wounded.   The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) concluded that 848 civilian casualties (289 deaths and 559 injured) resulted from intense battles in Kundoz Province from September to October, that includes the U.S. airstrike on the Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) hospital as well as other NATO operations.  By the way, for more proof the U.S. attack on the hospital was deliberate, it was the only hospital in the entire province and did not discriminate as to who they treated!

Azerbaijan: Reports that the minority government has begun genocide against Shia Muslims in Nardaran District.  Apparently the new genocide began on 26 November.  85% of the people in Azerbaijan claim the Shia Muslim religion.

Bosnia & Herzegovina: The government announced intentions of joining the European Union.

Burundi: Dozens killed, dozens wounded after major attacks against several military bases, including the French influenced L’Institut Supérieur des Cadres Militaires (ISCAM).

Cameroon: Eight people killed, 24 wounded by two United States, European Union, Israel and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia created Boko Haram kamikaze bombers.

Central African Republic: In another case of irony the United Nations has revealed that under its invasion and occupation at least 8-hundred civilians have been raped, tortured and murdered in the past eight months! However, the UN weenie heads blame it on people who refuse to give up their weapons and kowtow to the United Nations!

Ecuador:  Has Ecuador stabbed Julian Assange in the back? Reports say they are working with Sweden, where he is wanted on rape charges.   Assange has been lock up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, United Kingdom.

France:  Prime Minister Manuel Valls is wanting to use the 13 November Paris attacks as a False Flag for a French invasion of Iraq, Syria and Libya: “We are living with the terrorist threat. We have a common enemy, DAIISH, which we must defeat and destroy in Iraq and Syria and probably tomorrow in Libya.”

It should be noted that Valls also warned of civil war in France: “We have reached a historic moment where the bottom line for our country is a choice between two options. One is the extreme right, which basically stands for division, a division that can lead to civil war.”  

Gambia: Declares itself an independent Islamic State.

Germany: Vice-chancellor Sigmar Gabriel openly stated he is pushing for a German invasion of Syria!

Iran:  Iranian news sources say respected cleric Hojjatoleslam Kazem Seddiqi said the NATO Turkey invasion of Iraq was illogical and a threat to the entire region.  Iran has submitted to the United Nations proposals for a new World Against Violence and Extremism resolution.  Iran says it has captured the killers of three border guards (killed in 2014).  The killers are members of smuggling gangs operating out of Pakistan.

Iraq: “All Iraqi people, with all their resources, never cease to defend their soil and are all united to repel this blatant violation!”-Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, referring to the NATO Turkey invasion of Iraq

“We call on the Security Council to demand that Turkey withdraw its forces immediately … and not to violate Iraqi sovereignty again!”-Mohamed Ali Alhakim, Iraqi Ambassador to United Nations

The U.S. controlled United Nations insulted the Iraqi government by saying the Iraqi court system is not “competent” to investigate war crimes!

Along the border with Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a man dressed as a soldier exploded a truck bomb at an Iraqi border checkpoint.  Six border guards killed, 14 wounded.

Japan:  The neo-imperialist government revealed it has RC sized drones designed to capture other RC drones in mid-flight.  The creation of anti-drones came after somebody landed an RC sized drone on the prime minister’s mansion, contaminated with radiation.  The neo-imperialist government announced they will spend a record $40.6-billion USD on their military in 2016.

Korea:  Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Republic of Korea (U.S. ally) began a second day of peace talks despite objections by the United States.

Lebanon: All you refugee-phobics in Europe and North America can eat shit ’cause tiny Lebanon is dealing with at least 1.2-million refugees, and nobody wants to help!  Eat shit you all Euro-‘Merican refugee-phobics, your governments caused the problem, you eat shit!!!

Mexico: The government has approved the legal growing of marijuana by Mexican Society for Responsible and Tolerant Personal Use (SMART).

Morocco: The Interior Ministry reports nine U.S. backed Islamic State-DAIISH members arrested: “The suspects have revealed that they had received instructions from DAIISH to target sensitive sites in the kingdom with explosives.”

Myanmar (Burma):  The government has revealed that ever since it became a puppet of the United States/United Kingdom child trafficking has skyrocketed!  A record number of 226 traffickers have been arrested, and 1-hundred children rescued, so far this year!

Nigeria:  The United States, European Union, Israel and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia created Boko Haram killed 14 people in the village of Kamuya.  Six people wounded.

Pakistan:  Yet another successful launch of the new nuclear ballistic missile named Shaheen-3 (Falcon-3).  So far I have yet to see any pics or vids of it on the internet.  What is posted as Shaheen-3 pics & vids are actually Shaheen-2 (it actually says so on the side of the missile). In Balochistan Province, an explosion at a military checkpoint killed one soldier and wounded four others.

Palestine: Israeli occupying forces shot and killed three people near Hebron.  Two of the victims were killed for throwing rocks.  The third victim was shot and killed after obeying orders to stop his car.  At an Israeli checkpoint in north West Bank a Palestinian shot at Israeli occupying forces, but missed, he escaped before Israelis could shoot back.

Serbia:  Gun dealer Zastava claim they have documentation showing that the AK-47 guns used in the 13 November Paris, France, attacks came from Century International Arms in Florida, U.S.A., the same company used by USMC Colonel Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal.  Zastava say the guns were listed as semi-auto fire only.  News reports in France say the guns were modified to full-auto.

Switzerland: In a country that is no longer neutral or secure, police arrested two Syrians for having “traces” of explosive residue in their car.  Swiss administrators also revealed that it is the Obama regime that has been spreading rumors of massive terrorist attacks in Switzerland, Canada  and even Obama’s homie-town of Chicago, Illinois.

Syria: “I order you to act as tough as possible.  Any targets threatening the Russian grouping or our land infrastructure should be immediately destroyed.”-Russian President Vladimir Putin, issuing new orders to Russian personnel in Syria

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirms that somehow the U.S. created Islamic State-DAIISH can make perfect copies of Syrian passports.  Perhaps ICE showed them how?

“Why did we only start hitting the oil tanker trucks after the Russians showed the evidence of them going into Turkey and started hitting them themselves? We could have been doing that months and months ago, but we didn’t do it. Why? Because we really didn’t want to hurt DAIISH that badly.”-Jim Jatras, former advisor to U.S. Senate Republican leadership

Two car bombs exploded outside a hospital in the al-Zahra neighborhood of Homs City, dozens killed and/or wounded.

The death toll in the U.S.-Israeli style attack on a hospital in Tal Tamer (Til Temir) is now 28, at least 122 wounded.

Turkey:  Government forces continue their genocide against Kurds in the city of Diyarbakir.  The city has been under attack since 02 December.

Ukraine/Novorossia:  In Donetsk, NATO puppet Ukrainian forces bombarded the towns of Zhabichevo and Spartak.  Three people have been killed, and 14 disappeared, since Ukraine broke the ceasefire on 04 December.  Donetsk recon units identified at least 15 Ukrainian multiple launch rocket systems, two SP guns and 59 BMPs staging along the ceasefire line.

United States of America:  In Florida the Palm Beach Post tried questioning the owners of Century International Arms regarding the 13 November Paris, France, attacks but found the facility locked up, and nobody was answering the phone.  The USAF is demanding $3-billion USD to buy more UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles, aka Drones).  The fucking Ass-Hole Texans on a grand jury refused to indicted two literally fat-ass cops for gunning down a San Antonio man who had his hands high in the air, despite a video that clearly shows the man with his hands high in the air!

Gilbert Flores immediately after the bullets impact his body, hands still high over his head!

You Ass-Holes!!!  Police say they were justified because he was holding a knife.  Over his head?   Also in Ass-Hole Texas, it’s been revealed by Associated Press that during the 17 May biker gang fight in Waco that at least four of the dead bikers were actually killed by police snipers, not rival bikers!  Texas ass-hole cops also lied about the number of guns they confiscated, originally they claimed 1-thousand, but Associated Press revealed it was 430 ‘weapons’ including knives and brass knuckles.  Never trust the cops! In Alabama, a man attacked a Huntsville cop putting him in the hospital.  The attacker was arrested.  In Arkansas, the man who put Univeristy of Arkansas on lockdown was actually the one who called 911, and turned himself in.  He accused the university of not paying him for work rendered.   It was revealed that a number of U.S. police bosses have been in the British empire colony of Scotland to learn the British empire way of being a cop.  The British empire is supposed to be the mortal enemy of the United States!   Despite California being an officially anti-2nd Amendment state, gun sales have skyrocketed! I guess the people of The Golden State don’t trust their cops or government!   One reason for the distrust is a British empire TheGuardian report which revealed that one of the alleged Inland Regional Center shooters was actually being “ignored” by “jihadi groups” because the “jihadi groups” suspected it was a U.S. government set up!!!   In Mount Oliver, Pennsylvania, four people wounded after a drive by shooting, police have no suspects.  In Old Louisville, Kentucky, a man killed after being shot multiple times, police have no suspects.  In Las Cruces, New Mexico, a man arrested after shooting at two security guards who wouldn’t let him enter a bar.  In Florida, a Broward County Sheriff’s deputy has been suspended without pay and charged with manslaughter after shooting a man to death.   The victim was holding a pantywaste air rifle and had headphones on when the cop shot him.  The cop said he shot him because the victim wasn’t responding to his commands.

United Arab Emirates F-16, please note Arizona National Guard tail code!

Yemen: Once again Yemen’s Ministry of Defense reports “Saudi” F-16 went down, exploding upon impact.  This isn’t the first time an F-16 has been reported as going down over Yemen, there’s one problem, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) does not operate F-16s!  Two possibilities; Yemen is mistakenly calling the aircraft an F-16, or somebody else is flying those F-16 against Yemen!  Guess who does operate U.S. made F-16s, and is actively supporting the KSA invasion of yemen?  United Arab Emirates (see pic of UAE F-16 with Arizona National Guard tail code).  Yemen’s Defense Ministry also reports they launched an anti-ship missile at what they believed to be a ship carrying supplies for invaders, the ship was sunk.  There are reports that a former GITMO prisoner is now leading KSA backed al Qaeda forces against the Yemeni people.    In Baidha and Sana’a provinces 15 U.S. Academi (Xe, Blackwater) mercenaries were captured.  In Jawf Province, witnesses say KSA bombed their own Academi (Xe, Blackwater) mercenaries!  There are increasing reports that KSA is bombing their own mercenaries, Yemen Ministry of Defense believes this is because of the recent discovery of the U.S. Academi (Xe, Blackwater) operations.  In Hajjah Province, KSA conducted three airstrikes, no reports of casualties. Yemen began ground assaults against the Saudi Jizan (Jazan) Region, destroying armored personnel carriers.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

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.”
