“We’re being thrown out on the street!” Proof the oil layoffs are BS! 3,000 jobs lost due to no more Chrysler 200! Global warming causes Tree shortage? : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 22 February 2016

Incomplete list of job loss announcements and shutdowns.

California: Chevron is about to layoff 237 people at its beautiful Kern County oil ops!  Administrators say it’s necessary to maintain “long-term business objectives”.

Colorado:  Missouri based mattress maker Leggett & Platt eliminating 64 jobs at its Colorado Springs factory.  The factory is being shutdown by June.

Idaho:  Despite the U.S. petroleum industry slashing-n-burning jobs and drastically cutting production, the very same industry is pushing ‘lawmakers’ to create a new law that will allow them to accelerate oil and natural gas production in The Gem State.   The proposed regulation would change the way the state Department of Lands and the state Oil and Gas Conservation Commission handle the approval process for drilling.   A former manager at Aberdeen’s Idaho Select potato processing plant has been sentenced for his crime of ripping off the company.  He admitted to using company money to buy cars, homes, go on vacations, send his daughters to college and even pay his daily bills.  He must now repay $1.7-million USD within seven years, as well as spend time in prison.  Embezzlement crimes are very common here in the ‘christian’ dominated Idaho (2010 U.S. Census Bureau data says at least 80% claim to be Christians).  

Perhaps the former shed manager at the potato processor wasn’t being paid enough?  According to United Way, one in three workers in the Right to Work (you over) Idaho cannot afford to live on what they are paid!

Illinois:  Mass layoffs at Eastern Illinois University is creating what I call Ripple Effect Layoffs; the Test Center had to shut down temporarily “in order to train the remaining staff in the building to assume the duties of the lost positions”.  127 years old (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) Bernzen Lumber store shutting down next month.  It was sold-off due to the health problems of the owner, it’s hoped the buyer will re-open the lumber store.

Massachusetts: MassMutual Financial Group about to eliminate 360 jobs at its operations in Springfield and Enfield, despite record dividend payouts and a 9th consecutive year of growth!  Administrators would only say that the layoffs were their way to “effectively and efficiently deliver the greatest value to our policy owners”.

Michigan: What automotive industry recovery?  Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) furloughed more than 3-thousand people at its Sterling Heights factory!  They’ll be back to work in mid-March, but only for a couple of weeks when they’ll be laid off in April for an unknown amount of time!  FCA is ending production of its slow selling Chrysler 200.     Local news are also reporting that the Right to Work (you over) Michigan government has cut in half what it normally pays furloughed auto industry workers!

Minnesota:  Richfield based Best Buy continues killing jobs, this time 24 corporate HQ employees were kicked to the curb, despite that fact Best Buy is advertising that they have 90 open jobs at their HQ.  In the past few years Best Buy has eliminated at least 4-thousand jobs!

This happened in Serbia, but U.S. regulators fear it’ll happen in the U.S.

Montana: Another saw mill blames lack of trees for shutting down.  Stoltze Land and Lumber revealed they shutdown their night shift last week, due to lack of lumber to be milled.  The lack of lumber isn’t because we’ve run out of trees, rather it’s related to load limits placed on logging trucks.  The load restrictions are blamed on ‘global warming’, meaning warmer winter temps resulting in muddy roads, which are normally frozen now.

New York:  God powerless to stop ‘his’ Albany Roman Catholic Diocese from shutting down ‘his’ Saint Augustine school in  Lansingburgh.   Church leaders blamed the state government for refusing to give them taxpayer funding (which would be a violation of the U.S. 1st Amendment).  Germany based Deutsche Bank eliminating about 30 NYC jobs, blaming new laws and competition from U.S. banks.  Alternative clothing store Trash and Vaudeville shutting down its 40 years old Saint Marks Place location.  The owner blames “perpetual rent increases”.

Ohio: U.S. Department of Energy forcing Centrus Energy to shutdown operations at the American Centrifuge Project by the end of the week. However, about 150 people will remain to take part in decontaminating the nuclear energy project.  The DoE ended funding claiming it was a waste of taxpayer money.  In Cheviot, Vitor’s Bistro shutting down on Sunday, the owner blames low sales on a bad location.   The Fort Rapids Indoor Waterpark Resort and Seafood Buffet & Grill shutdown after a long history of violating local health codes, which resulted in several customers getting sick.  In Cleveland, decades old iconic the DINER on clifton shutting down next Monday, due to the greedy landlord: “We’re being thrown out on the street! Next to my parents dying this is the most stressful time of my life!   …..This feels personal when it’s something that’s been such a huge part of my life.”-Perry Drosos, operator

The landlord claims the eviction was coming for at least a year, primarily due to planned radical remodeling of the building.

Pennsylvania:  After 104 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) God is powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ SS. Cosmas and Damian Church, in Conshohocken.   Church administrators say it just cost too much to maintain the old building, proving that the real ‘god’ is money.

South Dakota: Yes Virginia, franchised Blockbuster video stores still exist, but no longer in Rapid City.  The last franchised Blockbuster store there is now dead.  The corporate operated stores all shutdown in 2011.

Texas: Houston based oil driller Schlumberger eliminated at least 25-thousand jobs in 2015, claiming it was losing money due to low prices, then paid its CEO a bonus of $18-million USD, which was the same amount the CEO got for his 2014 bonus!  How does low prices kill 25-thousand jobs, yet has no effect on the CEO’s bonus?

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

20-21 February 2016: “We need more time to….heal…”

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.”

Nuclear leak halts restart in Japan! U.S. refuses to compensate fishermen caught in Castle Bravo test!

22 February 2016 (02:49 UTC-07 Tango 01) 03 Esfand 1394/13 Jumada al-Ula 1437/15 Geng Yin 4714

A radioactive water leak halted the re-start of a nuclear power plant, no, not in northeastern Japan near the ongoing disaster known as Fukushima, but in southern Japan, at the Kansai Electric Power Company’s Takahama Nuclear Power Plant, in Fukui Prefecture.

At least 34 liters of contaminated cooling water leaked from the reactors.  Plant operators are investigating to find out why.

This latest leak is taking place at the same time that fishermen caught up in a 1954 U.S. nuclear weapons test are now demanding they be compensated for their cancers.

These are not the fishermen of the infamous Fukuryu Maru Number 5, who were compensated, but men on boats further away from the Castle Bravo nuclear blast.  They all suffer cancers now directly connected to exposure to radiation specifically created by nuclear weapons.

U.S. launches ICBM!

22 February 2016 (02:32 UTC-07 Tango 01) 03 Esfand 1394/13 Jumada al-Ula 1437/15 Geng Yin 4714

North of Lompoc, California, the U.S. Air Force launched a Minuteman 3 Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) towards the south Pacific Ocean.

USAF Global Strike Command said the launch was meant to test a new re-entry vehicle designed to improve the “accuracy and reliability” of the nuclear weapons delivery system.

Global Strike Command also revealed that it actually takes a long time to launch a Minuteman 3, requiring a “tremendous amount of effort and absolute attention to detail in order to ensure a safe and successful launch.”  Which questions the ‘deterent’ mission of the expensive (and old) missile system.

The launch of the U.S. ICBM comes two and a half weeks after Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (‘north Korea’) successfully launched a rocket which placed a satellite into orbit.  ‘Western’ governments and news media quickly labeled the satellite launch a “ballistic missile test”.

The number of the U.S. military personnel participating in joint military exercise in South Korea, this year, will be four times as many as in 2015!

North Korea is worth $9.7 trillion USD!!! Now you know why The U.S. is war mongering over the DPRK! 

“We need more time to regroup & heal…” Yet another layoff where employees also lost their final paychecks! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 20 – 21 February 2016

Incomplete list of job loss announcements and shutdowns.

‘Wall Street’ analysts are finally admitting we could be in a Depression: Chilling ways the global economy echoes 1930s Great Depression era

Arkansas: Bentonville based Walmart reported yet another quarterly decline in profits.  This time, for the 2015 end of year holiday season their profits fell 8%.  Ho ho ho, Merry Xmas everyone!  Administrators blame currency wars and their own plans to shutdown at least 2-hundred stores (which they included in their 4th quarter 2015 report even though the shutdowns didn’t start until 2016, mmmm, more bookkeeping shell games).

Connecticut: Germany based drugs maker Boehringer Ingelheim conducting more layoffs, management at their Danbury plant refused to say how many people will lose their jobs.  And an update to the employee relocation contractor Cartus Corporation layoffs,  unnamed employees told local news that at least 1-hundred people were let go last week!

Florida: Best Wishes of Boca shutting down.  Local news reports say the gift shop lasted 40 years because of its competitive prices, but failed to explain why it’s shutting down.  In Jacksonville, wholesaler CEVA Logistics issued a WARN saying 93 people will lose their jobs in April.

The owner of Big City Coffee threatening to sue Boise and Delaware North

Idaho: The city of Boise being sued by some of the tenants at the Boise International Airport.  Tenants also suing the New York based food service management contractor hired by the city, Delaware North.  Owners of airport eateries accuse Delaware North, and the city, of running them into the ground, primarily by substituting their products with lower quality items and providing terrible customer service, resulting in decreased sales.  Boise area news sources say Delaware North refuses to responded to their questions.

Illinois: Moline based farm equipment maker Deere (aka John Deere) revised its 2016 profit expectations downward.  Originally administrators thought 2016 sales would drop by 7%, but now they say things are so bad they expect a 10% drop in sales.

Mississippi:  New York based Saks Fifth Avenue shutting down their Outlets of Mississippi mall store by mid-March.  Local news reports gave no reason.  In Oxford, after nine years Holli’s Sweet Tooth shutting down in April, the owner blames non-stop increasing costs of operation that now exceed sales.

Missouri:  What auto industry recovery?  Discount Auto Protection shocked 60 employees by sending them a text message saying they were now unemployed and there would be no final paychecks!  That final paycheck was three weeks worth of work!  I’ve said it before; been there, experienced that.  Except in my case my employer didn’t even notify us and we lost four weeks of pay (we were paid once per month).  Still, most people still refuse to believe you can be laid off and lose your final paycheck, especially if your employer legally ceases to exist.

New Jersey:  Sears Holdings confirmed the Lodi Kmart will shutdown in April, 75 jobs lost. 

New York:   Palio shutting down their Saratoga Springs office.  No word on how many jobs will be lost, but one news report said at one time the advertising agency had at least 1-hundred employees.    H.P. Neun shutting down their packaging ops in Lyons and Seneca Falls, 93 jobs lost by the end of May.  The WARN said the company was forced to sell their assets.

North Carolina:  Durham based ad agency McKinney laid off 34 full time employees, due to the loss of a major client.  In Winston-Salem, after 4 decades iconic Ziggy’s nightclub shutdown due to the greedy landlord.  The owners of Ziggy’s swear they even offered to pay a full years worth of rent in advance, but the landlord refused!

Ohio: Anti-gun laws failed to stop a man from attacking customers at the Nazareth Restaurant and Deli, with a machette!  Four people were wounded.  The restaurant has shutdown for an undetermined amount of time: “We need more time to regroup and heal as a team.”-Facebook post

Oregon: After ending service in January, Portland based SeaPort Airlines is now officially chapter 11 bankrupt busted.

Pennsylvania: More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high tech for your demise; West Chester based shopping channel QVC eliminating at least 1-hundred jobs in the U.S. by the end of the year, as it off-shores them to Poland!  It was also revealed that QVC eliminated 147 U.S. jobs in November 2015!  What automotive industry recovery?  Aluminum maker Alcoa is about to split off its car parts operations, but before it does at least 90 people will lose their jobs in New Kensington.  Last year 50 people were laid off.  Reports say Alcoa is shifting to a new 3-D parts printing operation elsewhere in the state.  God powerless to stop the Diocese of Erie from shutting down four of ‘his’ grade schools; Venango Catholic high school and Saint Boniface, Saint Peter Cathedral and Our Lady of Mount Carmel elementary schools.  Church leaders blame The Rapture, I mean low enrollment.  What construction industry recovery?  In Ambridge, SBC Building Systems shutting down, 80 jobs gone by April.

Washington DC: The U.S. Department of Labor reports that ObamaCare (Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act) health insurance costs jumped by at least 4.8% in 2015.  That’s faster than the official rate of inflation in 2015.

Tired of those boring corporate meetings? Whip it out & blast ’em with Mother’s Best!

A Ukrainian woman got pissed during a long-going-no-where meeting of attorneys and open fired with her fully loaded booby!

I assume the meeting ran so long that the mom missed the feeding time for her baby, and was ready to burst.

Food Crisis: Deflation will cause 1 in 5 dairy farms to fail!

21 February 2016 (17:40 UTC-07 Tango 01) 02 Esfand 1394/12 Jumada al-Ula 1437/14 Geng Yin 4714

“We’re expecting an awful lot to exit the industry by the end of this year, when lots of farmers will have eaten up their savings. Last year the figure was 4%, but the expectation is more will exit this year, whether it’s 10% or 20%!”– Rob Harrison, dairy farmer & chairman of National Farmers Union

In the past ten years 10-thousand 5-hundred dairy farms ceased to exist, and now reports that another one in five will shutdown this year!

It’s happening in the British empire (Commonwealth of Nations) member United Kingdom.

“No other industry would continue on this basis of profitability, and it’s only because we are dealing with livestock that we don’t want to have slaughtered.  But, as feed stocks run down and have to be grown and replaced, many will simply get out. Once the banks lose faith in us being able to pay them back, you will see a huge exodus.”-Nick Adames, Black Barn Farm in West Sussex

Blame deflation! Dairy farmers blame a continuing decline in what they’re being paid for their products. The Royal Association of Dairy Farmers says currently dairy ops are shutting down at a rate of five per week!

Food Crisis: Where’s the Beef, New Zealand? China to blame? 

H1N1 roars back to life: Hundreds killed in the first two months of 2016! Targets vegans?

20 February 2016 /20:28 UTC-07 Tango 01 (02 Esfand 1394/12 Jumada al-Ula 1437/14 Geng Yin 4714)

European Center for Disease Prevention and Control reports half of its 50 member countries are dealing with a sudden increase in flu cases.

Armenia: 18 deaths caused by H1N1, so far.

Canada: In Saskatchewan an H1N1 outbreak was reported at a potash mine.  At least five case at the K+S Potash Legacy Camp, two people hospitalized.

Cyprus: The island country reports a father of two died from H1N1 a week after being admitted to hospital. He was admitted to a privately run hospital, which failed to take X-rays or detect a secondary infection in time to stop his death.  He was the second person to die from H1N1, dozens of people are hospitalized.

Belarus: Despite the UN World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. CDC and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) claiming the eastern European country is hard hit by H1N1, the government says ’tis not so.  President Alexander Lukashenko says the WHO, CDC and ECDC are assuming there’s an epidemic only because Belarus is sandwiched between Russia and Ukraine which are suffering a flu epidemic.  Health administrators report fewer influenza cases than in January 2015, saying so far only 30 people have been confirmed to have the flu!

Bosnia-Herzegovina: Two women killed by H1N1, six people hospitalized.

Finland:  19 people have died from H1N1-pdm09 since the beginning of the Gregorian year 2016. At least 146 people hospitalized.  Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare expects a tripling of influenza cases this year.

Georgia: At least three people dead from H1N1.  292 people confirmed infected with H1N1.

Greece: Five people died from H1N1 in the past 24 hours.  115 people have died from H1N1 since the beginning of the year!  356 people have been hospitalized. Hellenic Center for Disease Control & Prevention says the majority of people who’ve died had other health problems and were not vaccinated, however, they admitted that at least 5% of those who died were vaccinated.

India: Health administrators are reporting fewer cases and deaths by H1N1, compared to the same time last year.    A study by the Civil Hospital concluded that one of the best ways to protect yourself from influenza (besides vaccinations) was a high animal protein diet (makes sense because your anti-bodies are 100% animal protein, they can’t use veggie protien).  Such a diet is even more important for moms who breast feed their children: “These days even mother’s breast feed to infants has to be supplemented with trace nutrients and iron for the well-being of the infant and his increased immunity. The immunity comes from the food, habits and lifestyle of breast-feeding mothers.”-Mona Desai, pediatrician

Iran:  Health administrators report the biggest outbreak of H1N1 in their country, ever.  112 people dead since November 2015.

Ireland:  15 people have died from flu, 11 from H1N1.  460 people hospitalized, at least half with H1N1-pdm09.  Health Protection Surveillance Centre reports 757 cases of flu last month, compared to only 312 cases in January 2015.  The Irish Medical Organization has declared Ireland’s healthcare system in danger of collapse, caused by reduced taxpayer funding and an exodus of doctors from The Emerald Isle: “Five years ago, we moved heaven and earth to rescue failed Irish banks; surely we can now do the same to rescue the Irish health service on which all of us ultimately depend. What we need now is an immediate investment programme, followed by a period of sustained funding so that we can repair the damage done.”-Ray Walley, doctor

Jamaica: The island country reports one person died after getting infected with H1N1, but doctors implied there were other complications.  At least nine people hospitalized with H1N1.

Lebanon: After four people died of H1N1 panic buying of medical supplies resulted, now there is a shortage of Flumivir and Tamilflu treatments.  The Ministry of Health reports a 20% increase in flu cases compared to last flu season.

Libya: In the U.S.-EU-NATO destabilized country health administrators are urging people to get vaccinated, but at the same time say reports of an epidemic are just rumors.

Lithuania: Heath administrators report a fourfold increase in flu cases compared to the same time last year.  22 municipalities have declared epidemics, last year only five municipalities were dealing with epidemics of influenza.  So far three people killed by H1N1.

Malta: The island country reports 97 H1N1 cases in January 2016 (double the number of flu cases for all of 2015), with two prisoners dying.  Health administrators noted that 72,835 people have been vaccinated so far this year. 

Northern Ireland:  In the British colony, seven people died from H1N1 since September 2015.  At least 150 cases of H1N1.

Pakistan:  At least 33 people died from H1N1, since 01 January 2016.  More than 1-thousand people infected.

Palestine: Four people in the West Bank confirmed dead by H1N1.  So far 355 cases. H1N1 first appeared in Palestine in 2010.

Russia: ‘Lawmakers’ are blaming U.S. Operation Jupiter (JUPITR) for an epidemic of H1N1 in their country.  At least 126 people dead since December.  At the end of January, the city of Yekaterinburg shutdown the schools to try and prevent the spread of the virus.

Trinidad & Tobago: Health administrators ordered 50-thousand doses of influenza vaccine.  They say they need at least 116-thousand doses to fight the expected H1N1 outbreak.  46-thousand people have already been vaccinated.  Eight people have died of H1N1.  Health administrators say their battle with Zika virus is making the situation more difficult.

Ukraine: In the U.S.-EU-NATO destabilized country at least 315 people have died since the influenza season officially started, mainly from H1N1.  In January an epidemic was declared.  Schools have been shutdown.  Health administrators claim none of the people who’ve died were vaccinated.

United Kingdom:  Leicester Royal Infirmary reports at least 14 cancer patients are now infected with H1N1. Glenfield Hospital reports three people hospitalized with H1N1.  Royal Berkshire Hospital has four people in isolation with H1N1.

A teenager who was vaccinated for influenza when he was ten was recently awarded $173-thousand USD in damages because the Pandemrix vaccine gave him narcolepsy.  He now falls asleep even when eating, walking and swimming. 

United States:  Fresno County, in California, reports two deaths caused by H1N1.  County health administrators are concerned, calling the deaths “unusual” in that the victims might have been vaccinated for H1N1.  No other details about the victims were released.

San Diego County, California, reports one death by H1N1.  The man did not have any other health problems.  Doctors claim he was not vaccinated.

In the U.S. state of Indiana, the Putnamville prison hit by H1N1.  At least 40 prisoners infected, one died.  Health administrators admitted that at least three of the infected had been vaccinated. They admitted that vaccination rates for prisoners was higher than normal, but those getting sick are young and healthy.  They describe a lethal mix of infection with the H1N1 virus and the MRSA bacteria.  Watch the video of the press conference for more info.

Currently there are no vaccines approved for children less than 6 months old.  The majority of flu vaccines for children are for children three years or older, and usually need more than one shot before they’re considered effective.

Operation Jupiter?: U.S. hit by new stealth Dog Flu!

proof vaccines are overrated & all about the money as British empire takes control of U.S. flu shot supply

H1N1 …..Blame globalization! 

WinCo: New stores for Texas, Washingtonians & Oregonians want WinCo out!

20 February 2016 (08:49 UTC-07 Tango 01)/01 Esfand 1394/11 Jumada al-Ula 1437/13 Geng Yin 4714

Idaho based employee owned anti-unAmerican corporate America grocery store chain WinCo Foods continues to expand, while many publicly traded corporate grocery stores shutdown.

Carrollton, Texas (home of model kit builder’s iconic Squadron Mail Order), is about to get a new WinCo supermarket in a recently abandoned Target store.  Reports out of The Lone Star State say WinCo now has six food stores (since invading Texas in 2014) and is planning two more in Arlington and Fort Worth.  The Carrollton store isn’t expected to be ready until 2017, the vacant Target store must be torn down first.

In Utah, WinCo is constructing a new store in South Salt Lake, expected to open by the end of the year.  As many as 2-hundred jobs are expected and city administrators hope WinCo will make their top ten list of local taxpayers.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently declared South Salt Lake a ‘food desert’, meaning residents had limited access to food.

Speaking of food insecurity, in the not-so Golden State of California (see my Job Losses reports), a Ventura WinCo was hit by middle aged shoplifters who  threatened a security guard with a tazer.  Police are searching for them, security cam vid was captured.

In Grants Pass, Oregon, WinCo opened its 105th store.  It’s smaller than the normal WinCo supermarket, yet has managed to hire 150 locals (and transferred at least 11 people from other WinCo stores). Already the new WinCo has been hit by a food shoplifter.  The 25 years old woman is a meth and heroin drug addict, police had her hospitalized for an infection on her arm.

The Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals is about to hold a debate over plans to open a new WinCo in Albany.  Supposedly the issue is over the use of windows, however, a complaint was filed by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.  Unions are anti-employee owned businesses, because employee owned businesses are a bigger threat to unions than unAmerican corporate America.  Employee owned operations get better benefits, and pay far less in ‘dues’ than union shops.

 It should be noted that Oregon suffered the mass shutdowns of Washington based Haggen grocery stores in 2015 (connected to the Albertsons-Safeway merger).

In Edmonds, Washington, city administrators have revised zoning rules to allow retail development next to the local WinCo.  Previously, in the 1990s the WinCo location was a Top Foods grocery store.  Local news reports did not indicate whether the WinCo had any influence on the city’s decision to change the zoning.

Washington state is known to be a haven for anti-WinCo-ites.    In Moses Lake an anti-employee owned business organization is suing the city to stop the potential construction of a WinCo, accusing the city of not complying with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) process.  The city has yet to even approve WinCo’s request to set up shop.

It should be noted that Washington saw the demise of its Haggen grocery store chain in 2015.

Back in Idaho, the co-founder of WinCo (originally Waremart) was honored during the Twin Falls Rotary Club meeting.  Ronald L. “Bud” Williams died last month, of acute myeloid leukemia, he was 87 years old.  Local Rotary members say over the past 40 years Bud always helped with the local Xmas celebrations. His leukemia came on suddenly, being diagnosed the week before he died.

On a national level, WinCo Foods recently promised to sell only Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) rated farmed seafood.  By the end of this year all their farmed seafood should be three star rated BAP, by the end of 2017 it’ll be four start rated.

Currently WinCo Foods employs more than 15-thousand people, all part owners of the grocery chain.

Employee owned WinCo is the new business model of the 21st Century!

WinCo expanding big into Arizona! Delays caused by Arizona aesthetics cops! 

San Bernardino shooter’s cell password changed, after they’re killed! Proof shooting was a False Flag!

20 February 2016 (04:46 UTC-07 Tango 01)/01 Esfand 1394/11 Jumada al-Ula 1437/13 Geng Yin 4714

“…in an attempt to gain access to some information in the hours after the attack, was able to reset the password remotely, but that had the effect of eliminating the possibility of an auto-backup.”-admission by the U.S. Department of Justice

The U.S. FBI has been trying to get Apple technicians to hack into a cell phone supposedly belonging to one of the alleged San Bernardino, California, shooters.  Apple is resisting that ‘request’, now the FBI demands the federal court order Apple to assist in hacking the phone.

Court documents revealed Apple data records on the specific cell phone show its iCloud password was changed, within 24 hours after the owner was shot and killed by police!  The U.S. Department of Justice admitted in court that the password change was done by a San Bernardino County employee, supposedly in an attempt to protect the data.  Apple techs say the password change effectively makes it impossible to retrieve any data from the phone.  

Apple reps say what happened was that the iCloud password was reset in a Wi-Fi network that was not recognized as the owner’s network, thus automatically implementing an auto-reset security program which basically results in the phone’s history data being lost.

Is this a case of gross incompetence by government goons, or a deliberate coverup?

More proof San Bernardino shooting False Flag by your government! Yemen shoots down Arizona National Guard F-16?

News media continually described black GMC, innocents in black Ford sacrificed! Witnesses swear shooters were 3 men, not 1 man and 1 woman!
