False Flag: Politicians admit police ‘let it happen’! Police call it “jeu politique”! Blame Sony’s Playstation 4?

Why isn’t ‘western’ news media covering the scandalous news out of Belgium? The Interior Minister just accused the Belgian police of a False Flag operation!

False Flag operations don’t just mean the government was directly behind a terrible incident, it can also mean law enforcers know something bad is going to happen and then intentionally do nothing about it.  That’s exactly what controversial Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon revealed yesterday! (and he’s not just controversial for getting caught numerous times digging for nose goblins)

At the beginning of the month, Turkey and Belgium held a forum in which they pledged to increase anti-terrorist cooperation between their security forces.  Isn’t it interesting that just two weeks later Belgium gets hit with attacks that supposedly involve terrorists that Turkey tried to warn Belgium about?

Jambon revealed that in June 2015 Turkish police informed Belgian police that a known Belgian terrorist, Ibrahim El Bakraoui, was heading to Syria.  A previous news report revealed that El Bakraoui had been deported from Turkey to Netherlands in August 2015, by January 2016 he was back in his home country of Belgium.  Jambon says further investigations connected El Bakraoui to the Belgian terror cell that conducted Tuesday’s kamikaze bombings. However, he accuses Belgian police of deliberately halting their tracking of El Bakraoui weeks before the attacks!

This map looks like the current route for refugee/immigrants, however, it’s actually from an education website showing the 20th Century route taken by most international students from Middle East! Interesting.

Belgian police fired back at Jambon accusing him of “jeu politique” (dirty politics)!    Belgium’s SFLP (Syndicat Libre de la Fonction Publique) Police claim they’re inability to ‘properly’ track the terrorists is the result of a reduction in staff of 22%.

It should be noted that Belgium’s national police underwent ‘reforms’ in 2001 due to a scandal involving massive child sex crimes including torture deaths!    It should also be noted that a couple of days ago Jan Jambon tried to resign from his government job, but the Prime Minister denied the request.

In November 2015, Jan Jambon revealed that so called ‘Islamic State’ operatives were using Sony’s Playstation 4 video game console to communicate, because “it’s very difficult…to decrypt…”

Belgian news media are reporting inconsistencies with the official government version of the timeline of events on Tuesday.

What Economic Recovery? Sony to force 2,000 employees into early retirement!

19 October 2012, four years later and still losing money, electronics giant Sony says it’s forced to push 2,000 Japanese employees into early retirement.

This means those employees will have much less retirement money coming to them, with reduced or no benefits.  That means people not able to spend as much money as they planned, pushing the consumer driven economy further down.

The new announcement could be part of the already planned layoffs of 10,000 employees worldwide.  Even so, Sony admits the job cuts will have limited impact on revenue.  That’s because of all the people who’s incomes have dropped, or ceased all together (no thanks to the too Big to Fail Corporations/Banks), who can no longer buy the latest high tech electronic devices!

Sony is also closing a Japanese factory that makes lenses for digital cameras.

What Economic Recovery? Sony cuts 1,000 jobs in cell phone division!

23 August 2012, after buying back control of its Swedish cell phone operation, Sony announced it will lay off 15% of the employees.

Sony will also move most of the Mobile Communication division back to Japan.

Until Sony’s buyback, the Mobil Communication division was a joint venture with Sweden’s Ericsson.  The cuts are on top of planned lay offs in Sony’s television division.

What Economic Recovery? For the first time in 62 years, TV maker Sharp will layoff 5,000 workers! Despite profits Panasonic will let go 7,000 workers! Sony 10,000!

01 August 2012, Sharp announced that it will layoff 5,000 employees between now and March 2013, then, on 02 August reported a record loss of $1.6 billion USD for the quarter April-June!  That’s three times its loss from the same quarter last year!

The layoffs will affect workers in Japan, and in other countries.  Sharp hopes most of the layoffs will come from convincing older workers to retire early.

Sharp now expects to lose $3.2 billion for the year 2012!

Sharp has reported record losses, but, Panasonic recently reported profits and still plans to layoff 7,000 employees!

On 30 July 2012, Panasonic revealed that it plans to reduce its headquarter staffing by 7,000, leaving only 150 HQ staff employed!

Panasonic reported profits for the past quarter, but they (just like Sharp) suffered huge losses in 2011, and they expect sales to drop for the rest of 2012.

Panasonic executives say they hope to find other jobs for the 7,000 HQ staffers in Japan.

Back in April 2012, Sony revealed they will layoff 10,000 employees, both in Japan and in other countries.  On 02 August 2012, Sony reported a loss of $315 million for the quarter Arpil-June.

Sony officials revised their expected losses for this year, almost doubling it!

All three of these companies are losing big money in one sector of their industry: Televisions with LCD screens!  They say people around the world just aren’t buying enough LCD TVs.

Or is it that company execs messed up and ordered the production of way too many TVs with liquid crystal displays?

What Economic Recovery? Panasonic reports record loses!

May 11, 2012, Panasonic reporting a record loss for the year ending in March.

Panasonic ended the Japanese year with a net balance of minus $9.8 billion USD, it’s the fourth straight year of loses for the electronics company!

Panasonic officials blame it on a huge drop in TV set sales.  In April, Sony and Sharp gave the same reason for their losses as well, and blamed it on the lack of recovery in the United States.

What Economic Recovery? Sony posts record loss, Sharp says they’re about to follow suit, blames the United States for lack of economic recovery

April 10, 2012, Sony announced the biggest loss in its history!

Sony says it lost about $6.4 billion USD for their quarter ending in March!  That’s $4 billion more than they first estimated back in February.

Sony officials blame the monster loss on huge declines in sales in the United States!

Another Japanese company, Sharp, says it will post record loses as well.

Sharp says loses could be as high as $4.6 billion USD, much higher than first thought back in February!

They also blame lack of economic recovery, saying their TV sales have crashed!

Sharp is now forced to sell controlling stake in its liquid crystal panel factory to a Taiwan company, Hon Hai Precision Industry.

What Economic Recovery? Sony blames $2 billion loss on the United States & Europe, no more Sony TVs for you

On November 3, Sony announced that its television division is likely to post a record loss of about U.S.$2.2 billion for 2011.  That makes eight straight years of losses!

Sony is blaming poor sales in the United States and Europe.  This is more proof that the U.S. is no longer the market place for the World’s manufacturers.

Sony Executive Deputy President Kazuo Hirai says there is no sign of any economic recovery, and the company will revise downward its mid-term sales target by half.  Sony will also cut way back on TVs sold in Europe and the U.S.

Panasonic and Sharp say they will do the same.

What Economic Recovery? Will Sony join Hitachi and stop making TVs in Japan?

Believe it or not the electronics giant Sony has been losing money big time on TV sales.  Prior to the March 11th disasters Sony lost about $95 million from TV sales.

Hitachi recently announced they would shut down their last Japanese TV factory by March 2012.  They claim they’re losing to competition from South Korea.

Sony says it wants to continue to make TVs in Japan, in fact they say making TVs is “the biggest and critical issue” for Sony.

Sony would not give any details of their plans to rebuild their TV business, but analysts think Sony is hoping to expand sales in emerging markets.

The concern over TV production is overshadowing Sony’s next generation video game system, the PlayStation Vita, which is due to be released at the end of the year, or beginning of next year.

Sony shareholders want the heads of executives, record turnout

A record breaking turnout for a Sony shareholders meeting; more than 8,300 people showed up on June 28.

They want to overthrow Sony management.  It’s all because of the huge hack attack that breached the personal data of at least 100 million Sony customers.

One shareholder said the management lacks a sense of crisis.   Gee that seems to be the norm for Japanese officials.
