“Premiums for Obamacare plans are expected to increase substantially in 2016, with many insurers requesting double-digit rate hikes. For example, in June Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina proposed an overall rate hike of 26 percent for 2016 Obamacare plans, and two months later raised the hike to 35 percent.”–Agile Health Insurance

The British empire’s taxpayer funded BBC announced massive funding and program cuts.  The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is the shadow owner of the United State’s PBS (Public Broadcasting Service, public meaning funded by donations), if you haven’t noticed all those British programs clouding up the PBS airwaves.

Alaska: After four years film and commercial production company Piksik shutting down by the end of the month.  It’s connected to a controversial tax credit for the movie industry.

California: In San Gabriel, after 32 years the People to People food bank shutting down due to massive lack of cash donations: “Staff members haven’t been paid at all this year, and some have taken from their own pockets to help cover expenses.”-Robert Ries, president

In San Francisco, popular Zapata Mexican Grill shutting down after 22 years: “Unfortunately our landlord has decided not to renew our lease, so we will be closing our doors permanently on October 15.”

Florida: Sun and Skin Care Research-Ocean Potion Suncare-No Ad-Bull Frog eliminated 130 jobs!  Local news reports say the sun-block company was sold to a Canadian outfit which plans on moving production to Georgia.  In Titusville, after 55 years The Coffee Shoppe shutdown due to the greedy landlord tripling the rent from $1-thousand USD per month to $3-thousand!

Idaho:  It’s been revealed that after certain medical care providers were cut-off from Idaho’s Medicaid that taxpayers are still shelling out money to those banned service providers!   At least six providers have been paid $820-thousand USD since they were banned!  Another two banned providers did not get payments but are still on the list of approved healthcare providers!  It’s not just Idaho, the revelations come from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Illinois:   In Carbondale, after 36 years Pick’s Liquor shutdown.

Texas: In Austin, Sandra Bullock’s Bess Bistro shutting down by the end of the month.  It sounds like the property has been sold.

Washington DC: The National Park Service is ending the Buzzard Point Marina contract, claiming it’s not “a financially viable business”.

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.”

After failing to break up the Palestinian Unity government, for a second time, Israeli news reports now say Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will declare the Oslo Peace Accords null and void.

Israeli news media cite Palestinian Ma’an news as their source for the info, however I did not find any such report when I checked out the Ma’an English version website.

World War 3: Egypt joins massive Saudi led invasion of Yemen! Supported by Obama regime!

“The U.S. mission in Saudi Arabia expresses its deep regret for the loss of 10 Saudi soldiers in last Friday’s attack in Yemen.”-Obama regime U.S. embassy statement, completely ignoring the fact that Saudi Arabia has killed thousands of Yemenis

After six months of failed airstrikes the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has launched a massive invasion of Arab Peninsula country Yemen.  The latest video shows convoys of French built LeClerc tanks pouring into Yemen, along with more than 3-thousand troops.

Yemen’s Brigadier General Sharaf Luqman said all cities in KSA are now targets for vengeance attacks.  The KSA led invasion began after Yemen hit the KSA’s Hamiyeh power plant with ballistic missiles (Scud). Yemen’s Scud attack was in response to the months of KSA airstrikes that have killed thousands of Yemenis.

Yemen Mujahideen also claim to have destroyed two KSA U.S. built AH-64 Apache gunships.  A KSA coalition ammo depot was also blown up by Yemeni Mujahideen.

The latest KSA airstrikes hit a hospital and an orphanage, as well as killing at least 20 people at a funeral (U.S. drone style).  And in an attempt to cover up their involvement in the former oppressive government of Yemen, KSA bombed their own embassy and the embassy of United Arab Emirates.

It’s not just KSA invading the neighbor who refuses to bow down to their bullying, but Arab Peninsula’s United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain are taking part, and Fertile Crescent’s Kuwait and Jordan, as well as Africa’s Morocco, Egypt, Sudan and Somalia.   (So many countries, backed by the United States, so afraid of a truly independent Yemen!)

“The future plans are wide-ranging but the initial goal is matching the global standard of a single number that stays with citizens throughout their life.”-Shigeki Morinobu,  Tokyo Foundation

The neo-imperialist government of Japan has imposed a mandatory ID (identification document) and tracking system of citizens!  It’s said to involve tracking everything from your bank account to disaster relief funding!

According to reports, the My Number system will start out focusing on tracking citizen’s bank accounts! Eventually the My Numbers system will track your health insurance, passports, vaccination records and even your day-to-day shopping trends!  Local governments have been ordered to start collecting data on their residents starting next month.

Supporters say the My Numbers system is needed to meet standards set by the evil Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Want to avoid asthma? Get your kids the hell outta the city!

A new study by the European country of Belgium blames city life for children developing asthma, but it’s not what’s in the city it’s what’s not in the city.

In farm/rural areas the researchers discovered a protein in the dirt that’s not found in metro areas.   It’s called A20 and when children are exposed to it their chances of developing asthma are greatly reduced.  A20 is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory.

“These repeated failures are eroding all confidence, and they have got to stop. Our nation’s bioterrorism response efforts are in jeopardy as we continue to uncover problems….”-joint statement from the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee

Secretary of the U.S. Army John McHugh ordered the shutdown of anthrax factories in Ohio, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia and Utah.  It was also revealed that the United States operates anthrax factories in Africa’s Egypt and South America’s Peru.

Most of the “mistaken” ‘live’ anthrax shipments originated at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.   It was part of a program run by the Critical Reagents Program (CRP), whose symbol is a winged devil (they claim it’s a gargoyle).  

In Texas, the Department of State Health Services issued a warning after a deer and a horse died from anthrax.

A former University of Texas biology professor is suing the university for firing her.  The university revoked her tenure by claiming she was a terrorist and was helping China develop weapons grade anthrax.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated and could not find any evidence to back up the university’s claims.

California based Pfenex got a $143.5-million USD taxpayer funded contract to make anthrax vaccine for humans.

California’s Keck Graduate Institute says a type of quinine discovered in 1944 could be used against anthrax and ebola!
