Gun Bans = Oil Wars: Anti-gun DR Congo descends into hell!

06FEB2018 (10:48 UTC-07 Tango 06)  17 Bahman 1396/20 Jumada l-Ula 1439/21 Ren-Yin 4715

In the past 24 hours violence seemingly has escalated in the pro-U.S.-European oil rich and anti-gun country of ‘Democratic’ Republic of Congo (DR Congo, not to be confused with Republic of Congo).  In one case, news reports of stabbings by knife wielding rebels inside hospitals.

To show you that even Iran is anti-gun, the government run media outlet PressTV actually described the hospital slashers as “gunmen” (Gunmen stab 12 hospitalized patients in DR Congo), even though there are (so far) no news media reports describing the attackers as being armed with guns!

The official government of DR Congo bans the private ownership of guns.  The gun laws of DR Congo are described by international anti-gun organizations as “restrictive”.  To show you how anti-gun the United States government truly is, in 2013 the fake news, I mean propaganda (oh wait, propaganda is the original Fake News) Voice of America reported that rebel groups are conducting anti-anti-gun operations “forcing” families, in the areas under rebel control, to own at least one gun!

The violence in DR Congo got worse after an Israeli oil tycoon (Dan Gertler) discovered massive amounts of oil in the central African country, in 2014.  A similar amount of oil was discovered in neighboring Uganda.  The so called rebels who conducted the hospital knife attack in DR Congo are assumed to be from Uganda, and United Nations peacekeepers in DR Congo believe the violence that has taken place since the discovery of oil is not about civil war, but control of the oil in both DR Congo and Uganda.  ‘Western’ oil companies want to build an oil pipeline from Uganda, through DR Congo, to the Atlantic Ocean.

The recent FitBit fiasco, involving dumb U.S. military personnel allowing a silly-vilian designed electronic device to publicly track their movements, reveals slight U.S. military ops along the Atlantic coastline of Africa, but more U.S. activity is seen on the Indian Ocean side, including in DR Congo’s violent neighbor Uganda.

Here’s some real news reports about what’s happened in DR Congo in the past 24 hours:

More Economic Decline: Idaho mall loses yet another anchor store! Lazy ‘Experts’ continue to blame online sales!

31JAN2018, 20:16 UTC-07 Tango 06  (12 Bahman 1396/15 Jumada l-Ula 1439/16 Xin-Chou 4715)

Chubbuck Herberger's

Bon Ton owned Herberger’s announced it will exit its Pine Ridge Mall location, in Chubbuck, when the inventory runs out.  The official reason is crashing sales, including declining online sales. However, and as usual, local news media turned to so called experts who lazily blamed it on internet competition and people supposedly spending big bucks on gas to drive to the state of Utah to do their shopping!

First of all, Bon Ton and Herberger’s have their own websites where you can buy their crap!

Back in November 2017 Bon Ton announced it would shutdown 40 stores, including some Herberger’s, across the U.S. in 2018. Despite also selling online, Bon Ton’s family of department stores revealed they had lost $44.9-million USD in Bon Ton’s 3rd quarter of 2017! 

Today, Bon Ton published its shutdown list for 2018, and the Chubbuck Herberger’s is at the top of the list.

Also today, internet selling site ebay reported a massive loss of $2.6-billion USD (not counting losses caused by the new U.S. tax laws), and that’s just for its 4th quarter of 2017!  

Secondly, I’ve been hearing the old “people are driving to Salt Lake” excuse since 2001.  It’s a bullshit excuse mainly because why the hell would people drive their gas guzzling SUV and pickups out-of-state to go shopping?  The majority of jobs in eastern Idaho don’t pay their employees well enough to afford such a luxurious shopping trip! (approximate round-trip driving distance from Pocatello, Idaho, to Salt Lake City, Utah, is 336miles/540km)

Guess what? Retailers in Salt Lake City have been shutting down!

The truth is that ‘wise christian’ leaders in Bannock County began driving off all the good paying jobs from the Pocatello/Chubbuck area in the late 1990s (with Union Pacific suffering the biggest loss of jobs, in the thousands) and that trend has never been reversed (death spiral).     I remember in the late 1990s, one local official (a member of the dominant ‘christian’ sect) stated that industrial jobs were bad because they were the cause of local crime.  Last laugh’s on that exalted politician of god, because crime is so bad now that the Bannock County Sheriff repeatedly begs cash strapped taxpayers to approve funding a new county prison to deal with prison overcrowding!

KPVI interviewed a local labor force ‘expert’ who actually said Herberger’s shutdown could “be a blessing in disguise” for the 46 soon-to-be-unemployed-employees, because he believes the local economy is so good they’re sure to find better jobs!

Herbergers moved into the two story anchor location at Pine Ridge Mall, which was former home to ZCMI, May Company and Dillards.  They were true two story operations, but Herberger’s is a single story operation.  Apparently the top floor is being used for storage and office space.

“A lot of this is teaching resiliency training to military kids so they know how to cope with deployments and know that there’s a support system always there for them.”-Katie Kohlbecker, father is member of Idaho State Militia

Idaho National Guard has a Child and Youth Services program which held a four day Beyond Camp Wonderland-Snow Bash 2018 to instill team building and leadership skills, and build resiliency for tough times ahead, in the children that took part.

One participant gave ominous Orwellian sounding praise for the program: “Everyone is the same because we all have parents in the military. It’s different than interacting with kids at school because most kids at school don’t have parents in the military and don’t know what it’s like to have a parent gone.”-Elijah Maisey

Keep in mind that Idaho is one of only 11 U.S. states that have the highest per capita participation rate in the U.S. military system! (IDAHO ONE OF ONLY 11 STATES SUPPLYING MOST OF THE HUMAN CANNON FODDER FOR THE OBAMA REGIME)

Children can join the Idaho National Guard Child and Youth Services when they turn ten years old.  They can even gain rank: “It’s rewarding to see the development of the older kids who have transitioned from campers, to counselors to chaperons.”-Colonel Farin Schwartz

Influenza

Operation Jupiter: Military’s secret flu imitating virus exposed, vaccinations for military only!

29JAN2018, 20:41 UTC-07 Tango 06  (10 Bahman 1396/13 Jumada l-Ula 1439/14 Xin-Chou 4715)

“On the basis of the severity of the clinical presentation of some cases in this study, the vaccine currently licensed for military use should be considered a potentially valuable resource to prevent disease in susceptible populations living in closed communities, such as college settings, summer camps, and long-term care facilities.”-Adriana Kajon, Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has revealed that a previously secret viral infection is spreading, and it mimics influenza.  It’s called adenovirus and was first identified in the 1950s, specifically infecting U.S. Army personnel.

Initial U.S. Army experiments with vaccines seemed successful, but after a few years the adenovirus resurfaced stronger than before, even re-infecting personnel that had been vaccinated.   One study showed that two damaged adenovirus cells will join together to form a new healthier, stronger cell (a process known as multiplicity reactivation).

In August 2017, the Naval Health Research Center revealed a vaccine that supposedly works against five version of adenovirus: “In the mid-1990s, the adenovirus vaccine was discontinued at military recruit training commands throughout the Department of Defense (DoD), resulting in frequent respiratory illness outbreaks. Adenovirus was the most prevalent and widely spread virus in military training environments, infecting up to 80 percent of recruits and resulting in lost training time and increased medical care. 

In 2011, the adenovirus vaccine was reinstated for military recruits after NHRC and the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research conducted a clinical trial that demonstrated its safety and efficacy. According to researchers with NHRC’s operational infectious diseases team, after the live, oral vaccine for adenovirus types 4 and 7 was resumed, rates of adenovirus among recruits declined dramatically—cases went from 250 each week to two, on average. To date, other adenovirus serotypes—3, 14, and 21—that had previously caused illness in recruits have not reemerged.”  

(also read Naval Medical R&D News, August 27-30 Special Edition)

The virus mimics influenza and is so unheard of in the silly-vilian world that most clinics and hospitals don’t have the test to identify it.  Many silly-vilians are incorrectly diagnosed with having the flu.

Human adenovirus is a cause of Acute Respiratory Disease (ARD) and can also cause gastroenteritis (often incorrectly called stomach flu), even tonsillitis (my adult son just had a tonsillectomy due to a mystery infection which ‘shredded’ his left tonsil, literally nothing remaining but shreds, uh oh, I used the word literally guess I’m gonna be kicked outta that NYC bar).  There are more than 50 versions of adenovirus.  Transmission is thought to be through the air and in your crap, but adenoviruses are also resistant to cleaning chemicals and other liquids, so washing your hands all day long won’t get rid of them.  There is no treatment for it.

There are also adenoviruses that attack seals, bats, canines, reptiles, birds, monkeys and all domesticated farm animals.   I didn’t see any mention of felines being affected.

Here’s where what I call Operation Jupiter comes in; adenoviruses are used by scientists to genetically modify organisms, under the guise of gene therapy!  Adenoviruses are used as ‘delivery platforms’ for externally created (GMOed) antigens into humans suffering from things like cystic fibrosis or cancer.

CDC Reports: “In May 1997, a large, persistent epidemic of adenovirus type 4-associated acute respiratory disease began at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, the largest army basic training center. The epidemic lasted until December and declined when vaccine administration resumed. More than 1,000 male and female trainees were hospitalized; 66.1% of those hospitalized had an adenovirus type 4 isolate.”

“Adenoviruses are frequent causes of respiratory disease in the US military population. A successful immunization program against adenovirus types 4 and 7 was terminated in 1999. Review of records in the Mortality Surveillance Division, Armed Forces Medical Examiner System, identified 8 deaths attributed to adenovirus infections in service members during 1999–2010.“

“An outbreak of respiratory illness occurred in a long-term care facility in New York City. Investigation of the outbreak identified confirmed or suspected adenoviral infection in 84% of the residents from October 19 to December 18, 1999. Further identification by type-specific neutralization and restriction analysis identified a new genomic variant of adenovirus type 7.”

“Antibodies were more common in humans residing in sub-Saharan Africa…..This finding suggests cross-species transmission of chimpanzee adenoviruses.”

“In mid-May 2007, a respiratory disease outbreak associated with adenovirus, serotype B14 (Ad14), was recognized at a large military basic training facility in Texas. The affected population was highly mobile…………Ad14 was identified at 8 sites in California, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and South Korea. Ad14 spread readily to secondary sites after the initial outbreak. Military and civilian planners must consider how best to control the spread of infectious respiratory diseases in highly mobile populations traveling between diverse geographic locations.”

“…isolates collected in Iowa from 1992 to 2002 and found that genome type Ad7d2 became increasingly prevalent. By 2002, it had supplanted all other Ad7 genome types. The association of Ad7d2 with severe illness and death calls for heightened public health concern.”

“In March 2011, an outbreak of acute respiratory disease was reported at the Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) Police Training Centre. Approximately 100 trainees were hospitalized and 5 were admitted to the intensive care unit. Three of these 5 trainees died.”

“During April 2011–March 2012, we retrospectively reviewed medical records for South Korea soldiers to assess the etiology and epidemiology of acute viral lower respiratory tract infections. Adenovirus was the most commonly identified virus (63.2%) and the most common cause of pneumonia (79.3%) and hospitalization (76.6%); 3 soldiers died of adenovirus-related illness.”

“During October 2013–July 2014, Oregon health authorities identified 198 persons with respiratory symptoms and an HAdV-positive respiratory tract specimen. Among 136 (69%) hospitalized persons, 31% were admitted to the intensive care unit and 18% required mechanical ventilation; 5 patients died.”

“Let’s piss in his mouth.”: Dumbing Down U.S. of A., January 2018

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.”-George Orwell (aka Eric Arthur Blair)

 Disappearing Students Syndrome (DSS): A phrase created by me to describe a phenomenon taking place across the United States, affecting both privately and publicly funded schools, from Kindergarten all the way through University levels.

Across the United States, in metro areas taxpayers could become burdened with yet another cost of providing inadequate grade school education; housing subsidies for teachers!

The U.S. Army and the Department of Homeland Security are designing a simulation of school shooting situations for teachers.

“We can’t prevent evil, and trying to prevent it by taking away the freedom of law-abiding people is not a price our society should pay.”-HomeSchool Association of California, regarding the 13 adults and children rescued from their “Good Christian Family” home-school-hell in Perris

NBC Los Angeles on home schooling: “Alaska and Idaho have virtually no regulations, while New York and Pennsylvania families must submit annual instruction plans to the district, administer standardized tests taken by public school students statewide and provide academic progress reports.”

Incomplete (i-e Tip-o-the-Iceberg) list of publicly announced education related layoffs, shutdowns and education crimes, January 2018:

Arkansas: Trusty Elementary school could be shutdown within four years due to the outrageous costs to maintain the almost 100 years old building.

Arizona: A now former Ironwood Ridge High School assistant coach arrested for suspected sex crimes.

California: 60% of estimated 6-million students in The Golden State’s grade school system are considered poor and/or English Learners.  An Infotech employee of the privately funded Nueva School arrested for inappropriate contact with a child.  As many as 90% of students in the Twin Rivers Unified School District are living in poverty, now the federal government charging three school workers with stealing taxpayer funded USDA food meant for those poor students!  At Helix High School a female student refused to leave after being suspended, resulting in her arrest. But here’s the ironic part, police say as they were arresting her she tried to leave, i.e. escape, so she’s also facing resisting arrest charges. Things are so bad in Riverside County that Val Verde Unified School District has created its own police force!  In San Bernardino County (the largest county in the world) four school districts (Fontana, Hesperia, Apple Valley and San Bernardino) have their own police forces!  A teacher (who is also a Pico Rivera City councilmember) at El Rancho High School caught on video dissin’ students wearing clothing displaying U.S. military logos.  The cell phone video was posted on facebook by Kimberlie Flauto, at one point you hear the teacher say “Your freakin’ stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumb shits. They’re not high-level bankers. They’re not academic people. They’re not intellectual people. They are the freaking’ lowest of our low.” regarding military personnel fighting the undeclared War on Terror.

Los Angeles Times: “A 67-year-old with two Harvard degrees and an international reputation in ophthalmology, Puliafito started using methamphetamine with a circle of prostitutes and criminals while dean of USC’s Keck School of Medicine…”  and now a suspect in the death of a drug addict’s baby.

Colorado: A Thunder Ridge High School student that obviously hasn’t learned much from being in school posted video of himself biting into a laundry detergent ‘pod’.  Hey, maybe it’s a new form of washing your mouth out with soap after using ‘foul’ language?

Florida: After being suspended for a fight at Surfside Middle School a 12 years old girl killed herself, her parents say she was being bullied and the school’s actions only made things worse. After 64 years privately funded Arlington Country Day School shutdown without warning to parents, while class was still in session!  School administrators gave no reason, but promised to refund field trip money (no mention of refunding tuition).  The cost for attending the private school is about $7-thousand USD per year per child: “She said the school was shutting down. She didn’t say why…   I am livid … It’s crazy. At this point it’s crazy!”-Venessa Balan, pissed parent

“I just assumed they were doing fine. I’ve always heard throughout the grapevine that they were doing fine, and had 300 kids. But I have no idea how many they really have because, obviously, they don’t communicate a lot with us.”-Grace Williams, operator of competing private school

Idaho: Six weeks after being hit by a massive ransomware cyberattack, the Jerome School District claims it has restored about 95% of their computer processes.  Shoshone School District hit by federal lawsuit after a 13 years old girl said she was raped in class, it was recorded on security camera video.  A woman is now suing two state lawmakers, accusing them of non-physical sexual harassment while she was a high school page in the state House.

State lawmakers hoping their new Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine will solve at least one of many deficiencies within the Idaho medical system, however, let me remind you that less than ten years ago ‘wise’ lawmakers rejected an Idaho State University  proposal to build a medical school, even after Portneuf Medical Center offered their old PMC West hospital building (located right next to the ISU campus, it was eventually torn down in 2016-17 ostensibly to make room for a VA clinic) as it was going to be shutdown anyway, and a taxpayer funded study (A Proposed Distributive Model for a Medical Degree Program) said it was sorely needed and would greatly boost the local economy!    Idaho news media boasting of record level student enrolments in taxpayer funded grade schools, however, while overall numbers are up they’re not spread evenly across The Gem State, many districts actually lost students like District 91.   Yet another report says Idaho teachers are ‘getting the hell outta Dodge’, this time the study was done by the State Department of Education itself.   In District 25 signs of religio-class warfare as rich Mormon dominated school board wants to end what it calls “student self-segregation”.

Highland High School, Pocatello

Highland High School, Pocatello.

It involves a decades old rivalry between rich-Mormon-brat-prep’s and wannabe-prep’s Highland High School and everybody else’s (including working class Mormons) Pocatello High School (aka Pokey High).

Iconic Pocatello High School

For decades parents have been able to choose which high schools to send their kids to.  District administrators now complain that Highland High is overcrowded by about 7-hundred rich-brats and/or wannabe rich brats, while Pocatello High School is disproportionately full of poor students whose parents can’t pay the outrageous yearly fees, so to ‘correct’ this “socio-economic” imbalance administrators want to end parental school choice!

Century High School

Century High School, ‘The Prison’.

Another possible covert reason for ending parental school choice is that nobody wants to send their kids to the outrageously huge and expensive and controversial Century High School (I call it The Prison because from Interstate 15 it looks like a state prison).  Several years ago the State Department of Education told District 25 there weren’t enough students to justify the state/federal funding for the school (which was built on land purchased from a relative of a school board member).   District 25 recall petition.

Illinois: Community High School District 155 threatening to shutdown the Haber Oaks Campus and relocate the remaining 90 Crystal Lake South High School student body due to at least five years of DSS (Disappearing Students Syndrome).  God powerless to stop the Archdiocese of Chicago from shutting down five schools (Saint Cyprian School, Holy Cross School, Incarnation School, Our Lady of the Ridge School, Saint Michael School)  due to The Rapture, I mean what I call DSS.  At Morgan Park High School a girl was nearly “stomped” to death for ‘liking’ a boy’s post on social media. Apparently the boy’s girlfriend doesn’t take kindly to other girls liking his posts.

Indiana: Jeffersonville High School student arrested and accused of sex crimes with 17 children.

Iowa: State lawmakers considering making passing a U.S. citizenship test a requirement to graduate high school.

Kansas: A Blue Valley Northwest High School student threatening suicide was obliged by Overland Park police who shot and killed him. Police claim he was trying to run them over with a car.  Some parents of students at Herington Elementary School stood up to christian bullying and halted the 1st Amendment violation of Bibles being forced upon public elementary school students: “The district’s actions in assisting the Gideons in distributing Bibles to elementary students represents a clear breach of the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution and we hereby demand assurances that this practice will discontinue immediately.”-Appignani Humanist Legal Center

Kentucky:  The state Public School Commissioner condemned the Cordia School building, forcing it to shutdown by February.  A new state law allows taxpayer funded public schools to violating the federal 1st Amendment by using taxpayer funds to pay for Bible/christian classes! 

Louisiana: A teacher was arrested after questioning why the Vermilion Parish School Board gave the superintendent a $30-thousand USD taxpayer funded pay raise, when teachers and other school employees have gone without a pay raise for years: “I feel like it’s a slap in the face for the teachers, the cafeteria workers or any other support staff we have.”-Deyshia Hargrave

Maryland:  The ‘bomb cyclone’ that hit the east coast revealed that more than 60 Baltimore area schools had no functioning heating system!  In Rockville:  “Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has received multiple reports from community members that one or more individuals is posting inappropriate content on a private social media platform, including nude images of MCPS students.”

Massachusetts: Leftist liberal globalist Harvard Kennedy School is attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, alongside President Donald Trump.   Boston Public Schools accused of sharing immigrant student info with ICE.

Michigan: East Michigan University eliminating 60 jobs due to being short by as much as $5.5-million USD, partly caused by lack of students.  In already-proven-in-court-to-be-run-by-criminals Flint: “The Flint Community High School athletic department and upper level management does not have the students’ nor the student-athletes’ best interests in mind. Specifically, in the athletic department there has been criminal neglect and incompetence on multiple occasions.   I demand that … the entire Flint administration step down immediately for the greater good of Flint schools.”-Trace Fisher, high school football coach

Minnesota: Fridley High School engaged in censorship when they edited out a student’s shirt from a school pic.  The shirt read Deport Racists.  It’s been revealed that the 77-acre Duluth Central High School property still hasn’t been sold, the school was shutdown six years ago.  Doesn’t that make you happy taxpayers happy?  Police investigating claims of sex crimes between a Grand Blanc Community Schools employee and a now former high school student, police refused to give any more info.

Missouri: You can now claim a tax deduction for your private school payment, further hurting tax funding for public schools.  Gov’na Eric Greitens wants lawmakers to extend a taxpayer funded college scholarship program for graduates of taxpayer funded high schools to graduates of privately funded high schools.

New Mexico: Nationally recognized teen NanoForm inventors get kicked out of their Taos Middle School lab, with no explanation.  Their invention sponsor said the school principal wanted them out.  Some state lawmakers want to join the police-state-school system by forcing taxpayers to spend between $25-million and $60-million USD to turn the Public Education Department into its own police force.

New York: As a fine example of where education priorities are with students, a New Dorp High School cheerleader wants 500k tweets so she can meet the Mets for prom!  At least 16 school districts actively engage in School Lunch Shaming of students whose parents can’t pay the lunch bill!   A now former Olean High School special ed teacher, along with his mother, is charged with welfare fraud.  A female New School for Leadership and the Arts teacher pled not-guilty to sex crimes with a 14 years old student.  Local news media described the teacher as “booze loving”.  God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ 94 years old (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) Saint John Villa Academy, apparently god needs money because The Sisters are conducting a study to see how much money would be made from selling the school.  In Bronx-NYC, at Public School X811 a drug addict was found dead in the school toilet room, he wasn’t a student he was one of the teachers!!!

Ohio: In Stark County, Perry Local School District dealing with the suicides of six students. 

Oregon: A contract worker ripped down Immigrant Welcome signs at taxpayer funded River Road/El Camino del Rio Elementary School.  The worker was fired, but district administrators admitted the signs are too political and will not replace them.  Seaside Heights Elementary janitor accused of sex crimes with students.

Pennsylvania: Scranton School Board laying off 51 teachers and all librarians!  School administrators swear student access to the libraries will continue.  Pleasant Valley School District under investigation for using a vending machine equipped with a wi-fi camera to spy on teachers in the break room, for the purpose of extorting them, the district’s supervisor of support staff already arrested.

Rhode Island: The female principal of Harry Kizirian Elementary School accused of knowing about, and failing to report within 24 hours, sex crimes involving a gym teacher and fifth graders.  In 2016 the state law regarding the reporting of sex crimes was changed, and the principal claims she was unaware of the change.

South Carolina: In a fine example of lack of leadership intelligence resulting in taxpayer ripoffs, Berkeley County School District filed a federal lawsuit against an insurance company claiming that for the past 16 years it sold the school district $14.2-million USD in worthless insurance policies.  Taxpayers should sue the school district for signing onto, and paying for, those insurance policies!

Tennessee: A teenage girl arrested for killing another teenage girl from Glencliff High School, by accident, during a burglary spree the girls were involved in.  In a statement the arrested teen said a gun they were using during the burglaries accidentally went off.   It’s been revealed that it is a crime to be a barber in Tennessee without graduating high school! One requirement to get a barber’s license is that you must be a high school graduate, but a crimewave of fake barber’s licenses reveals a failure of the taxpayer funded grade school system. 

Texas: Houston based Parker School Uniforms now chapter 7 bankrupt busted, local news reports say all 320 employees were laid off without warning and without final pay!  Houston Independent School District warning of calamity due to new state funding requirements, crashing student enrollments and local tax revenues.  Texas school districts caught violating voting laws by using taxpayer funded school buses to transport voting aged students and employees to polling stations to vote on issues affecting education: “This is the first time this behavior has occurred. That’s why it’s different and needs to be commented on. It needed to be stopped before it got out of hand.”-Paul Bettencourt, state senator

Vermont: Rochester School shutting down at the end of the school year, it’s down to just three high school students.  Parents are concerned because they have no way to drive their kids to the nearest school, after the shutdown.  News media report that the state is experiencing a yearly decline of about 1-thousand-3-hundred students!

Virginia: Exalted state lawmakers finally admit their garde school system is nothing more than a ‘school-to-prison pipeline’.  In one example an eighth grade student was ‘arrested’, suspended and sent to juvenile court after a school cop accused him a stealing a 65 cent carton of milk, which turned out to be part of the student’s free lunch due to his family’s low income!  Lawmakers claim they will now change current laws which requires school principals to report specific misdemeanor ‘offenses’ to police.  In 2015, the Center for Public Integrity stated that Virginia has the highest rate of students being sent to police/juvenile courts in the country.  A 2016 Virginia Tech study discovered that students with disabilities, and ‘black’ students, were disproportionately more likely to be suspended or expelled from grade schools.

Washington: After years of courtroom battles, Washington Inter-scholastic Activities Association (WIAA) and a former high school coach settled a defamation lawsuit.  The coach was suspended for two years when Bellevue High School accused him of violating WIAA rules.  The coach is not seeking money in his lawsuit, instead he wants changes to WIAA rules. His lawsuit against the high school continues.

Wisconsin: God powerless to stop ‘his’ Saint Gregory Catholic School from shutting down due to lack of students, apparently they’re unable to meet the minimum of 20 students required for next school year.

Wyoming: Wrestlers at Kelly Walsh High School are facing accusations of waterboarding a teammate, even allegedly saying “Let’s piss in his mouth.”

Influenza

Vaccine Fail: Hospitals consider flu a non-emergency! As many as 20% of children who died had flu shot!

27JAN2018 (07:21 UTC-07 Tango 06) 07 Bahman 1396/10 Jumada l-Ula 1439/11 Xin-Chou (12th month) 4715

Hospitals across the metro areas of the United States are reporting emergency rooms being overwhelmed with people sick with the flu.  This is causing problems like seven hours long waits in Iowa, ambulance diversions in New York, California hospitals actually stopping ambulance deliveries of non-trauma patients!  That’s because flu infection is considered a non-emergency by U.S. hospitals, despite what the mainstream fake news tells you on TV! So hospital ERs are getting crammed full of non-emergency patients who should be going to clinics or through non-emergency hospital admissions.

Prescriptions of anti-viral Tamiflu skyrocketing by 640% compared to last flu season.  So far the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says there’s plenty of Tamiflu in stock. 

Low vaccination rate proven to be a myth as Blue Cross Blue Shield reports that infant vaccination rates across the U.S. average in the 70% range.   However, influenza vaccinations were not included in the study.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admitted that “In past flu seasons, between 80 and 85 percent of children who have died from the flu had not gotten a flu vaccine that season…”, as reported by Reuters.  This also infers that of those children that died 20% to 15% had gotten the flu shot!  

It should be noted that the CDC does not track adult influenza cases, nor does the CDC have ‘hard-n-fast’ data regarding flu deaths: “CDC does not know exactly how many people die from seasonal flu each year. There are several reasons for this. First, states are not required to report individual seasonal flu cases or deaths of people older than 18 years of age to CDC. Second, seasonal influenza is infrequently listed on death certificates of people who die from flu-related complications. Third, many seasonal flu-related deaths occur one or two weeks after a person’s initial infection, either because the person may develop a secondary bacterial co-infection (such as bacterial pneumonia) or because seasonal influenza can aggravate an existing chronic illness (such as congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Also, most people who die from seasonal flu-related complications are not tested for flu, or they seek medical care later in their illness when seasonal influenza can no longer be detected from respiratory samples. Sensitive influenza tests are only likely to detect influenza if performed within a week after onset of illness. In addition, some commonly used tests to diagnose influenza in clinical settings are not highly sensitive and can provide false negative results (i.e. they misdiagnose flu illness as not being flu.) For these reasons, many flu-related deaths may not be recorded on death certificates.” 

A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society reveals that only 28% of hospitalized old people get tested for influenza.

U.S. researchers have confirmed what many Asian researchers already knew (2013: STUDY SUGGEST THAT BREATHING SPREADS FLU FASTER THAN SNEEZING!); that simple breathing spreads the flu, no coughing needed.  

In Idaho, the November/December 2017 issue of Bingham Memorial Hospital’s Health Matters quoted Doctor Gary Ullery who admitted “The immune system still remains a mystery…there is still a lot we don’t know.”  But forget trying to immunize yourself by having a ‘flu party’, a new study says repeated exposure to influenza A (like the current Horror Flu H3N2) can actually make you more susceptible to dying in future flu pandemics: “It is also generally thought that past exposures to antigenically dissimilar strains of influenza virus may also be beneficial due to cross-reactive cellular immunity. However, cohorts born during prior heterosubtypic pandemics have previously experienced elevated risk of death relative to surrounding cohorts of the same population. Indeed, individuals born during the 1890 H3Nx pandemic experienced the highest levels of excess mortality during the 1918 ‘Spanish flu.'”-Pandemic Paradox: Early Life H2N2 Pandemic Influenza Infection Enhanced Susceptibility to Death during the 2009 H1N1 Pandemic

Mmmm, what does that say about getting vaccinated for influenza A?

VACCINE FAIL: HORROR FLU HITS UNITED STATES!

Your taxpayer dollars paid to find out how to make the H5N1 influenza virus more lethal than anthrax!!!

Incomplete list of healthcare related layoffs and shutdowns, announced in January 2018:

ObamaCare-ACA fact: Only one out of four workers has health insurance through their employer, according to a survey by Clutch.

Pacific Ring of Fire activity strikes Idaho? Volcanoes just destroyed all human attempts to stop climate change! Get ready for Cascadia!

Video

26JAN2018 (13:09 UTC-07 Tango 06) 06 Bahman 1396/09 Jumada l-Ula 1439/10 Xin-Chou (12th month) 4715

“We remain on red alert… …gearing up for three months…”-Romina Marasigan, government disaster agency worker

For awhile now I’ve been suspecting that the ongoing earthquakes in southeastern Idaho could be the result of secretive fracking operations by the petroleum industry.  But this time it might be due to a sudden increase in activity around the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Here’s the rundown:

During the second week of January 2018, Mount Mayon in Philippines begins small eruptions and lava flows, then on 23JAN2018 it begins large eruptions. 25JAN2018, massive lava flows begin, eruptions continue.  Now at least 81-thousand people forced to evacuate, and told eruptions could last three months! 

18JAN2018: Big Waves, Flooding Batter Oregon And Washington Coasts

23JAN2018, in Japan, northwest of Tokyo, a volcano (Mount Kusatsu-Shirane) suddenly erupts. Cell phone video shows the eruption occurred in a new area not associated with the volcano, on the slopes of a ski resort.  One soldier killed while taking part in ski training, 11 people injured.

23JAN2018, magnitude 7.9 quake strikes off the southern coast of Alaska. 

25JAN2018, magnitude 5.8 quake strikes off the coast of northern California. 

25JAN2018, the Soda Springs area of the inland state of Idaho hit with numerous 3 and 4 magnitude quakes (again).  

One volcano can destroy all human attempts at curbing human caused air pollution, so stop trying to waste your taxpayer funding on trying to stop climate change.  But volcanoes cause Ice Ages, not global warming, so mister-almost-was-president-of-the-U.S.-if-he-hadn’t-of-given-in-to-George-Bush-Jr-threats Al Gore, it looks like Mother Earth is taking care of ‘global warming’!

livescience: Research Shows Volcanic CO2 Levels Are Staggering

Oregon Field Guide warns of massive earthquake-tsunami Cascadia Event:

https://youtu.be/-n6FxBNNOC4

“Idaho’s participation helped raise awareness that the residual effects of an earthquake and tsunami along the coast would be felt in Idaho. That includes the possible need to accommodate tens of thousands of evacuees and displaced persons who were directly impacted.”–Federal Emergency Management Agency, June 2017

By the way, FEMA designates inland Idaho as the refugee destination for the expected massive Cascadia Event, which new computer models suggest will wipe out half of Oregon and Washington.  Idaho’s population will suddenly explode by “tens of thousands” of people (maybe that’s why our exalted, and secretive, leaders keep talking about a huge future boost in population?)!  But wait, if Yellowstone goes off then we all get wiped out!

“it’s time to adapt or die”: U.S. Food Crisis, January 2018

Incomplete list of announced United States food supply shutdowns for the month of January, 2018: Many food suppliers/distributors are consolidating operations and killing jobs due to the collapsing grocery store and restaurant industries, as well as rising costs of food production, spread of disease and extreme weather.

Eater: Why Restaurants Can’t Always Fire Chefs Accused of Sexual Misconduct

Arkansas: Food Giant shutting down its grocery store in Osceola, when the inventory is gone, local news media was not able to get an explanation from corporate.

Arizona: In Tucson, after only two years restaurant Stray Dogs shutdown with only hours notice to employees, it was quietly sold-off.   In Chandler, after eight years El Palacio Mexican Restaurant and Cantina shutdown: “…eight years of my life trying to make the restaurant profitable using all the means at my disposal…..has never translated into enough new customers to support us.”-facebook video post

California: As many as 90% of students in the Twin Rivers Unified School District are living in poverty, now the federal government charging three school workers of stealing taxpayer funded USDA food meant for those poor students!   Cities in the leftist liberal fascist Golden State have been passing anti-homeless people laws under the guise of fighting the Hep A outbreak.  The laws ban people from publicly sharing food!  In El Cajon 12 people were ticketed by cops for feeding homeless people!  Evil Albertsons owned Safeway shutdown its grocery store in West Sacramento, on West Capitol Avenue, due to lack of profits. In Bakersfield, after five years Flame Burger forced to shutdown “Due to an unresolvable dispute with our landlord….”   California Dairies shutting down its 92 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) old Los Banos operations, 63 jobs gone by March.  It’s blamed on “…reduced milk volumes [statewide], combined with the high cost of operating our Los Banos facility..”  In Ridgecrest, after ten years restaurant Grape Leaf shutdown.  In La Quinta, after only two years Jule’s Market shutdown, local news media say it’s the third grocery store in La Quinta to shutdown since 2014. The owner of Jule’s Market says sales just aren’t high enough to cover skyrocketing rent and utilities.  Dr. Bob’s Donut Cafe (aka Dr. Bob’s Donuts & DoYos) suddenly shutdown its Roseville location and canceled plans to build a bigger store in Folsom. It might be because the vegan hemp (weaker cousin of marijuana) bakery was mightily expensive, some social media comments saying two DoYos were $10, another comment said “DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FLAVOR IF YOU ARE NOT VEGAN”.  Dr. Bob’s website seems to still be functioning, so maybe you can still buy their special baking mixes online.  In Orinda, after 31 years the Village Inn Cafe shutdown, one of the co-owners saying “I’m tired.”  Los Angeles based Eclipse Berry Farms-Rosalyn Farms-Harvest Moon Strawberry Farms now chapter 11 bankrupt busted due to more than $50-million USD of debt.  Los Angeles based Pabst Brewing suddenly eliminated 70 positions “…in order to reduce complexity, cut costs, simplify priorities, and reallocate resources…” San Diego based Green Flash Brewing halting sales in as many as 32 U.S. states, and suddenly laid off 33 people saying “The market is nothing like it was 2 years ago, 5 years ago, 15 years ago….it remains to be seen whether we can survive as an independent brewery.”  TGI Friday’s issued a shutdown WARN for its Oxnard location, 41 jobs gone by the end of March.  Tyson Foods issued a layoff  WARN for its chicken plucking ops in San Diego, 79 jobs gone mid-March.

They were the only Taco Buenos in the state, local news media say restaurant managers/employees got no warning or explanation.  Taco Bueno’s Lone Star State administrators would only say the shutdowns are part of a plan “to focus on strategic growth”.  Also in Colorado Springs, after 42 years Sunbird Mountain Grill & Tavern shutting down in February, the owners sense things aren’t going to get any better saying “We want to end on a high note”.  In Fort Collins, after 39 years Bisetti’s Ristorante shutdown, so the owners can retire.  Greenwood Village based Red Robin Gourmet Burgers eliminating more than 6-hundred table busser jobs in states that jacked-up the minimum wage!

Hawaii: After 48 years Agnes’ Portuguese Bake Shop, in Kailua, shutdown.

Idaho:  ‘Christian’ Gem State lawmakers supporting a bill that will expand the use of taxpayer funded prisoners in the agriculture industry!  According to Financial Condition of Idaho Agriculture federal taxpayer subsidies to Idaho farmers fell by 44% in 2017. Yeah that’s right, farmers are the biggest recipients of government ‘welfare’ in the U.S. of A., plus they use taxpayer supported legal and illegal immigrant workers, and now prisoners!  I complain a lot about immigrant workers (only because it’s become so hard for U.S. working class citizens to find stable work), but I also know from first hand observation in California strawberry fields (Santa Maria), and Arizona potato fields (Yuma), that migrants workers are also screwed-over.  A study by Blue Review reveals that migrant farm workers in southwestern Idaho have a hard time getting food for their families, despite the high value of some of the crops they harvest. It also reveals Idaho’s true population growth (as I’ve been saying in other articles) is coming from migrant farm workers, U.S. citizens are actually leaving the state!  Welcome to globalization; the Idaho Dairymen’s Association upset that milk prices are down, yet happy that hay prices are down was well, due to a global excess supply of both.  In American Falls, rumors that ConAgra spin-off Lamb Weston is hiring, however, some employees told me that what’s really happening is that Lamb Weston is outsourcing the overnight shift!

Illinois:  Restaurant owners now joining customers in accusing Arlington Heights based restaurant.com of fraud.  The Better Business Bureau (BBB) gave the website an F grade.  After seven years Barn & Company barbecue shutting down the day after the Super Bowl, it’s being replaced by a nasty meatless eatery.   In Percy, after 35 years Pioneer’s Cabin shutting down, the building up for sale.  The owners claim they’ll open a new restaurant when they find a suitable location. In Urbana, after 20 years restaurant Milo’s shutting down by the end of February, because the landlord found a new tenant willing to pay higher rent.   Flying Machine Coffee shutting down its four years old Urbana location in March.  In the same building, Pizza M restaurant being forced to move. The owners of Pizza M and Flying Machine Coffee blame it on the landlord who’s bringing in tenants that can pay more rent: “Rent more than doubled since we’ve been here.”-Matt Kitzmiller, Pizza M owner

“After four years of being part of a growing downtown Urbana, it turns out I had less bargaining chips than I thought I did. It’s a shame, but we are just no longer welcome…”-Josh Lucas, Flying Machine Coffee owner on facebook

“I was charging obscenely below-market rents for the first two years. Then, yes, rent technically doubled.”-Matt Cho, landlord

Indiana: Coca Cola eliminating 15 jobs in Terre Haute, as part of its plan to abandon warehouse ops and go with ‘just in time delivery’ (drop lot distribution).  The former owner of the now dead Rails Craft Brew & Eatery chain under arrest for fraud and corruption. One of the accusations is that he was writing bad checks from one restaurant to cover bills (including employee paychecks) at another restaurant.  In Indianapolis, after less than a year Broken Beaker Distillery shutdown.

Debbie and Harry (get it? Debbie Harry) Zombie, pic by Doug Tobin

Iowa: Orchestrate Hospitality shutting down its experimental Zombie Burger &  Shake Lab in downtown Iowa City, admitting “…we may have overbuilt the market.”  Also, college students kept kidnapping the zombie mascots.

Kansas: In Wichita, Jack’s Coffee Shop has been shutdown due to a string of bad luck, first losing their chef, then a gas leak, now the owner is waiting for inspectors to give the O-K to re-open, saying if it doesn’t happen soon she’ll have to shutdown permanently due to lack of cash.

Louisiana: Slinky’s shutting down in February due to the greedy landlord, the bar owner exclaiming “I need a job!”

Maryland: In Baltimore, after 14 years Ryan’s Daughter Irish Pub & Restaurant shutdown, the owners saying business has been “a little bit slow”. After 52 years Goldman’s Kosher Bakery shutdown, supposedly because the owners are tired of their 24 hours commitment.  In Pikesville, Pastries Plus and Suburban House Restaurant both shutdown.  Goldman’s Kosher Bakery and Pastries Plus operations were sold to a competing bakery, no reason was given for the sudden shutdown of Suburban House Restaurant.  In Bethesda, Pi Pizzeria on Wisconsin Avenue shutting down in February.  Also in Bethesda, after 15 months Tapa Bar shutdown, and after seven years, Yamas Mediterranean Grill shutdown blaming it on street repairs to Rugby Avenue which blocked customers.

Massachusetts:  Canton based Dunkin’ Donuts eliminating 40 corporate jobs and shutting down 40 vacant positions, claiming its the only way the company can grow.  In Arlington, after only one year Bistro Duet shutdown due to “the rising cost of the restaurant business”.

Michigan: Traverse City based Bagger Dave’s suddenly shutdown an additional five restaurants.  News reports say Bagger Dave’s has been shutting down restaurants since 2015.  In Detroit, after spending big bucks renovating the building Antietam restaurant shutting down in March and being sold-off.  Seventh Day Adventist founded Kellogg issued a layoff WARN for its RTEC (Ready-To-Eat Cereal) Plant, 14 jobs lost as part of its plan “…to simplify and streamline operations in our North American cereal network.” 

Minnesota: In Roseville, after 19 years Maverick’s Real Roast Beef suddenly shutdown, no explanation on the facebook page. In Wadena, after 18 years Cyber Cafe shutdown.  It was revealed that only subsidies (funding) from the local community, and government, kept it in operation, sales alone are not enough to cover operating cost. The owner also revealed competition from ever advancing social media technology played a major role in killing them off.

Food Crisis Japan: Overnight, the eels have disappeared? Good news for the U.S.A.

23JAN2018 (01:18 UTC-07 Tango 06) 03 Bahman 1396/06 Jumada l-Ula 1439/07 Xin-Chou (12th month) 4715

“A series of unfortunate events.”-Shingo Kimura, Professor of the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Frontier Sciences

Elvers caught off Maine, U.S.A.

In Nippon (Japan) baby eels, known as Glass Eels  or Elvers, are captured in the wild and then raised in fish farms.  It’s such big business in Japan that even Republic of China (Taiwan) is involved.  But this year there are almost no baby eels to catch, either around Japan or Taiwan!

It’s actually been like that since last year, a measly 0.2 metric tons were caught in December!   One eel catcher was followed by NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) on his hunting trip.  He worked for hours and caught 11 eels, his normal catch is in the hundreds!

2013 was considered a record low year for eel catches (5.2 tons), but this year is about to set a new record low.  1963 was the best year for eel catches, hitting 232 tons!

The disappearing eels are driving up prices, currently the equivalent of $32-thousand-650-hundred USD per kilogram (2.2 pounds)!

Professor Shingo Kimura blames it on a combination of overfishing and climate change.

What appears to be a sudden near-extinction of eels around Japan and Taiwan could bring a boost to eel catchers working off the coastline of Maine, in the United States.  The state of Maine has just increased the number of glass eel/elver fishing licenses, to 425.  The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is also considering increasing the allowed catch beyond its current 4399.8 kilograms (9,700 pounds), in response to not only disappearing eels in Asia, but in Europe as well.
