For possibly the first time Japan has been hit by double explosions caused by a 72 years old military veteran.   The retired Self Defense Force vet killed himself, and wounded three other people in the process.

The first explosion happened in a park on the north side of Tokyo.  Police found the remains of a burned body.  The second explosion was a car parked in a parking lot, believed to be the veteran’s car, taking out two other cars.

News reports say the veteran set his home on fire before going on his Kamikaze spree.  Police confirmed they found a suicide note, but gave no details.

Guns are banned in Japan, but that doesn’t stop murder and suicides from happening, in fact Japan has one of the highest rates of suicide in the world.

“You can’t keep the doors open if you don’t have providers” : September 2016 ObamaCare destruction

It must be noted that I started documenting these ObamaCare/healthcare related shutdowns at the beginning of 2014. In that year I posted the reports biannually (every six months). In 2015 ObamaCare cutbacks ramped up and I posted quarterly (every three months). For the past nine months of 2016 there have been so many ObamaCare cutbacks that I’ve posted a report every month!

Incomplete list of healthcare related layoffs and shutdowns, September 2016:

Denmark based drugs maker Novo Nordisk eliminating 1-thousand jobs worldwide, blaming crashing U.S. sales (due to its own skyrocketing prices for insulin).

California: Tulare Regional Medical Center laid off 29 people.  Administrators hinted that layoffs will be ongoing because they “continue to streamline operations”.  Israel based drugs maker Teva issued a layoff WARN, 11 jobs gone in Corona, by December.

Florida: Drugs maker Merck eliminating 112 jobs between November 2016 and June 2017!  CVS Pharmacy issued a WARN, 94 jobs in Tampa gone by Thanksgiving.

Idaho: The state Department of Insurance warning of yet another rate hike for insurance, as much as 24% for 2017!

Illinois:  Health Care Service Corporation (parent company of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Illinois) off-shoring as many as 540 InfoTech jobs, by April 2017! Health Care Service Corporation has also been encouraging employees 50 years of age or older to quit, by offering them buy-outs.

Kentucky: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Catholic owned  KentuckyOne Health from laying off three top executives, a fourth executive resigned. The ‘christian’ hospital admin called it “leader transitions”.  Signature Healthcare shutting down two locations, 207 jobs gone by Thanksgiving!  Patients are being transferred elsewhere.   In Louisville, McDonald’s shutting down their Kosair Children’s Hospital by Xmas. The lease expires and the Kosair-McDonald’s franchise can’t afford to renew it!

Louisiana: Non-profit Lafayette General Medical Center eliminating 70 jobs by the end of October.

Maine: Mercy Hospital suddenly laid off 31 people.  Administrators say it was a “clinical redesign of services offered”.

Massachusetts: Drugs maker ImmunoGen laid off 65 people.

Minnesota: Superior View Assisted Living shutdown, the CEO Rob Gannucci blamed the state and federal government saying “It just wasn’t worth it anymore.”

Mississippi: Quitman County Hospital quit and shutdown due to lack of money. Local news reports indicated it was the only hospital in the area.

Montana: Medicare health insurer New West Health Services shutting down, 14-thousand customers losing their insurance by the end of the year, and 84 people losing their jobs.  Administrators directly blame ObamaCare saying “…with the increased complexity in this industry and the new challenges that affect our ability to break even, we are not able to make this insurance plan financially successful.”

New Hampshire: Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center eliminating up to 460 jobs by Xmas!  ObamaCare is forcing the hospital to make at least $100-million USD in cuts, CEO James Weinstein saying “We cannot be all things to all people…… Reductions at all levels of the organization will be considered…”

New York:   Crouse Hospital laid off nine management, 13 non-union and 12 union employees. Unfilled positions are also being eliminated. Administrators called the layoffs ‘routine’.  God powerless to stop ‘his’ Catholic Charities Neighborhood Services from issuing a layoff WARN for their ops in Brooklyn. The layoffs take place right before Xmas.

North Carolina: Oncology specialist Biologics shutting down their Cary ops after being taken over by California based McKesson, 132 jobs gone! Johnston Ambulance Service shutdown, 4-hundred jobs suddenly gone! Administrators blame ObamaCare rules for lack of payment of services rendered.

Oklahoma:  Pushmataha Hospital now chapter 9 bankrupt busted despite four years of trying to reign in costs to deal with greatly reduced ObamaCare insurance reimbursements.

Pennsylvania: Ohio based HCR ManorCare sold-off their Devon Manor nursing home, 124 jobs gone by the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday!  Patients are being transferred elsewhere.  Drug testing startup Falcon Genomics already chapter 11 bankrupt busted due to failing to raise enough investment cash.  Somerset Hospital shutting down their obstetrics unit by the end of November.

Tennessee: It’s been revealed that in August Church Hill Emergency Medical Services suddenly shutdown, eliminating “dozens” of jobs due to lack of funding.  Church Hill EMS is now officially chapter 11 bankrupt busted. Tennova Healthcare eliminating 45 jobs in October.

Texas:  Saint Mark’s Medical laid off nine people and then sold their La Grange office building to Rainier Realty Investments.  Administrators directly blame ObamaCare for the layoffs saying “The layoffs were…..an adjustment to our current healthcare environment.  As penalties increase and volumes decrease, it’s critical each hospital/physician office adapt to the new landscape.”

Virginia:  After 40 years Dominion Psychiatric Associates shutting down in November, one of the doctors told local news media “You can’t keep the doors open if you don’t have providers.”

Wisconsin: Integrated Health Network laid off 21 employees.

Wyoming: Mountain View Regional Hospital laid off 15 employees.

August 2016: “…WE’LL ALL HAVE TO DO MORE WITH LESS.”

August 2016 : “A FINANCIALLY RUINOUS GAME OF MUSICAL CHAIRS”

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification.

I found a 2010 AFL-CIO analysis (titled The Public Availability of WARN Notices: Lack of Accessibility and Disclosure…) which proves what I’ve been suspecting in my search of state WARN notices; most states are not complying with federal WARN regulations and are not publicizing or tracking mass layoffs.

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed!

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”

God is Evil: Saudi Arabia adopts ‘Christian’ calendar system, it’s about the money!

03 October 2016 (02:37 UTC-07 Tango 01) 12 Mehr 1395/01 Muharram 1438/03 Wu Zu 4714

Ironically the country which is the origin of true Islamic Extremism has just adopted the western ‘christian’ Gregorian calendar system!

The wahhabist Kingdom of Saudi Arabia began officially using the Gregorian calendar on 02 October 2016, and it’s all about the money.  The move specifically targets its own civil servants, reducing their annual pay by 11 days!  There are 11 less work days in the Gregorian calendar than in the Saudi lunar calendar (which was established in 1932, Gregorian time).

Because of oil prices being below $70 USD per barrel, and its U.S. supported invasions of neighboring countries, the monarchy of Saudi Arabia now faces a $100-billion shortfall.

By the way, the so called christian Gregorian calender was created more than 1-thousand 5-hundred years after the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.
