Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 01 November 2013. More ObamaCare cuts! Massive grocery store shutdown!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

California: In San Clemente, two Kmarts made the hit list, about 100 jobs lost!   Southern California Edison laid off 27 employees.

Florida: The Home Shopping Network (HSN) laid off 59 workers.  Company officials said they need to become more efficient.

Illinois:  All Dominick’s grocery stores shutdown!!!  The owner, California based Safeway, said any Dominick’s stores that have not been sold off will be closed by the end of 2013.  So far only four of the 72 Dominick’s have been sold, potentially a thousand jobs will be lost!

Iowa: In Mason City, the Kraft’s Foods factory laid off 19 employees.  It’s blamed on declining company revenues.

Kansas: In Topeka, Hill’s Pet Nutrition Company laid off 39 employees.  Company officials said it was part of their re-focus on their finance operations in dealing with creditors and bill collectors.

Maine:  The Maine Coast Memorial Hospital warned they will be laying off employees.  Officials are expecting a $3-million loss of revenue under Obama Care.

New York:  In Garden City, CoreLogic Credco shutdown, 20 jobs lost.

North Carolina:  In Raleigh, a Kmart made the hit list, 88 jobs lost.   Also, two Fred’s Beds stores shutdown, in Raleigh and Wake Forest.  One store manager says the company has been “struggling” with the bad economy.

Ohio: In Springboro, tax sucker General Dynamics laid off 23 people.  This is on top of the 31 people laid off in October.   In Youngstown, the Northside Medical Center eliminated 56 full time medical jobs.  It’s blamed on Obama Care.  In Dublin, a Cord Camera store shutdown.  In Graceland, a Cord Camera store shutdown.  The owners of Cord Camera blame the bad economy.

Pennsylvania: In Philadelphia, Robinson Luggage shutdown.  The company vice president blames the bad economy: “…the change in the retail environment unfortunately has forced the closure.”-Nancy Center

South Dakota: In Aberdeen, 38 years old Noah’s Critters pet store shutdown.

West Virginia:  Oregon based Special Metals (formerly Inco Alloys) has warned of massive layoffs.  580 jobs cold be affected, but this is not the first time the company laid off employees.  Layoffs took place in 2012, as well.   It’s blamed on the bad economy.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) doesn’t count the hundreds of layoffs involving less than 50 people each, in its mass layoff reports. It also doesn’t count all the little ‘mom & pop’ businesses that shut down.

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013

How to tell if the United States-British empire is behind so called “democratic” revolutions: What language are they using?

25 February 2014 (01:31 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/06 Esfand 1392/26 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

The most obvious clue that the United States and/or British commonwealth are behind global revolutions is that almost all the signs held by protesters are written in English!

Also, most of the slogans shouted by protesters are in English, and most protest ‘leaders’ interviewed by western news media speak English.

Hello people, don’t be dumb, it’s so obvious!

Norovirus: 511 children made sick by bottled water!

25 February 2014 (01:19 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/06 Esfand 1392/26 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

China: In Zhejiang Province, at least 511 students in elementary and junior high schools were sicked by norovirus infected bottled water.  The company that supplied the water is being investigated.

New Zealand: The government is allowing pharmacists to treat children with gastroenteritis, in a bid to keep those sick kids out of the hospital.  So far the Paediatric Gastroenteritis Service program run by the MidCentral District Health Board has treated 91 children.

Florida, U.S.A: The U.S. CDC investigating yet another cruise ship outbreak, this time on a Holland America ship.  124 passengers and crew were sick.

Iowa, U.S.A.: In Cedar Falls, at least 90 people sick at a nursing home.   Also, the Ames Public Library was closed for two days after 30 employees were confirmed to have gotten sick by norovirus.

Ohio, U.S.A.: Hamilton County health officials were notified of an outbreak at a nursing home. At least 28 people sick.

Tennessee, U.S.A.: Shelby County Health Department confirming 100 cases of norovirus in five separate outbreaks.

The first norovirus case occurred in 1968 in Norwalk, Ohio U.S.A. This is why it is sometimes called the Norwalk virus. However, the 1968 outbreak was not confirmed until 1972, when researchers were finally able to identify the virus. Ever since then, year after year, there are more and more cases, and stronger and stronger versions of the virus.

The U.S. CDC says norovirus accounts for as many as 800 deaths in the United States, every year.

Norovirus (aka Norwalk Virus), is a surface contact bug, meaning you pick it up by touching or eating it.  It is not influenza and there is still no vaccine for fast evolving RNA norovirus.  The only ‘treatment’ is to keep the sick person hydrated.

Exotic anti-biotic soaps can’t kill norovirus, or any other virus for that matter, because anti-biotics are only for bacteria.  Despite that, even hand ‘sanitizers’ made with alcohol can’t totally get rid of norovirus.   Guess what apparently works?  According to the U.S. CDC old fashioned hand soap is best.  Consumer Reports says to leave the soap on your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds.  Also, in public restrooms use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door, do not touch surfaces with your bare hands after washing them.

Wash household surfaces with bleach.

The worse thing is that you can be infected and not have any symptoms.  An infected person can spread norovirus, yet not feel sick themselves. If you think you might be infected do not cook food for other people. People recovering from traditional symptoms of norovirus can continue spreading the bug for days after feeling better (some reports say weeks).

World War 3, East European Front: Control of natural gas pipelines the true reason for EU-U.S. backed coup in Ukraine?

25 February 2014 (00:51 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/06 Esfand 1392/26 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Here’s an interesting fact: Ukraine is the main transit point for natural gas pipelines running from Russia to European Union.  On the internet you can look up maps of pipelines running through Ukraine, and see it’s a big deal.

Another fact:  Many times Russia has shut off gas supplies, accusing successive pro-EU Ukrainian governments of ripping them off.

Another fact: Every time the U.S. gets involved in supporting a so called democratic revolution, the country targeted descends into chaos, even if the Obama regime considers the revolution successful.  These countries are all turning out to be sources for petroleum products that are considered rivals to the U.S. petroleum industry, or transit points for petroleum products from rivals of the U.S. petroleum industry.

It’s safe to say the true goal of the Obama regime backed ‘revolution’ in Ukraine is to collapse the country, possibly full blown civil war as half the provinces are refusing to recognize the new ‘legitimate’ government, and are forming their own military.  By doing so, a civil war could destroy the pipeline system, cutting off Russia from a primary customer (the EU).

This will make the United States the primary provider of natural gas to the EU.  If Russia has plans to invade Ukraine they better do it now.  Libya, Egypt and Syria are prime examples of what happens when you wait for ‘diplomacy’ to work.

I’m not the only one who thinks control of natural gas resources is the key behind the power struggle in Ukraine: Examiner.com, BloombergBusineweek, Reuters, OilPrice.

How many of you have already forgotten about Cyprus?  It was all about preventing Russia from getting a piece of the massive Mediterranean natural gas field:  Preemptive strike against Russia, What the Israelis said in 2012, Leviathan’s Block 12 and Israel, Cyprus says EU stabbed them in the back, now turning to Russia for help.

Stop believing the lies from the Obama regime, none of what’s been happening around the world, by the instigation of the United States, is about “democracy”, or even “free markets”!

Ukraine now divided, civil war inevitable

More Fukushima Fallout: More sabotage as cooling system fails?

Tokyo Electric Power Company is investigating why cooling fans on the reactor Unit 4 spent fuel pool stopped working.

Alarms sounded, and work to remove fuel rods was stopped.

A secondary power source for the cooling system is being turned on.  TEPCo suspects the power cable for the primary power source was cut by throwaway workers while they did excavation work on a road.

More Fukushima / WIPP Fallout: North American scientists announce ‘It’s here!’ Throwaway workers to finally get tested for radiation! More radiation leaks at WIPP!

“The only cesium-134 in the North Pacific is there from Fukushima.”-John Smith, Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia

At the yearly American Geophysical Union’s Ocean Sciences Meeting in Hawaii, scientists revealed that cesium-134 and 137, from Fukushima Daiichi, has hit the coastline of British Columbia, Canada.  At this point the levels are still considered safe, but they definitely came from Japan.  The radiation is expected to make its way down the Pacific coast of North America, as far south as Baja California, and then back towards Hawaii.

A study done in 2012 by Kyoto University revealed that some people in Fukushima Prefecture are being exposed to 2.5 millisieverts per year (mSv/y) of radiation.  In Japan the safe level for people not working in the nuclear industry is 1 mSv/y.  Getting a CT scan exposes you to at least 2 mSv/y, if the operator doesn’t screw up and OD you.

Japan’s Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry is finally going to study the health of 2-thousand throwaway workers who were involved at the beginning of the Fukushima Daiichi disaster back in 2011.  The ministry is looking specifically for thyroid cancer.  To this point no official agency has done such a survey, in fact even the employers of throwaway nuclear power workers are not required to monitor their health, or how much radiation they’ve been exposed to (that’s why they’re called ‘throwaway’ workers).

The number of children in Fukushima Prefecture with thyroid cancer is at 33.  Most Japanese officials blow it off.  However Russian health officials, who monitored the situation after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, pointed out that it took as long as five years before thyroid cancer showed up in the victims of that nuclear disaster.

The latest airborne radiation testing at the U.S. Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico, shows elevated radiation levels.  Officials with the DoE claim those levels are still below the amount of radiation you get from a properly done chest x-ray.

Four members of the prominent Parrish family were found dead in their Pocatello, Idaho, home on Sunday.  Police suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, but are investigating the cause.

Two adult children are away on a Mormon mission.  The large Parrish family is invasive throughout Chubbuck and Pocatello, controlling much of the commercial property, with family members working as attorneys, real estate agency owners, and even as doctors and dentists.

Bannock County corner, Kim Quick, said in his past 25 years as corner he’s never seen so many family members killed by suspected carbon monoxide.

New Polio hits California? Polio vaccine continues to kill babies in Asia! Connection to U.S. instigated wars? Syrian doctors accuse UN of Polio conspiracy!

24 February 2014 (13:37 UTC-07 Tango)/23 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/05 Esfand 1392/25 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Afghanistan:  Despite the U.S. occupation, which includes pushing vaccines, a three years old girl in Kabul City has polio. However, there’s more to the story.  The girl actually got sick while her family was in Pakistan, which is where a new version of polio (WPV1) has evolved (meaning current vaccinations are probably useless).

European Union:  Officials in Denmark are panicking because of polio outbreaks in U.S. instigated wars.  Those wars are flooding Europe with refugees, and EU officials think they’re bringing polio with them.  Officials are pushing for more vaccinations and testing of sewage: “After the outbreaks in Syria, we have contacted the city councils and asylum centers. We also wrote doctors across the nation to make them aware of the situation.”-Søren Brostrøm, national health agency Sundhedsstyrelsen

India: In Rajasthan’s Itunda village, a nine month old baby died after getting its third round of polio vaccine, as part of a mass government sponsored vaccination program.  Health workers, who gave the vaccine, said the infant died “within minutes” of getting the polio drops.  The villagers forced the government to stop the mandatory vaccination program.  State government  officials swear that “you can’t die from polio vaccine”.  Indian news media said the vaccine was from batch number 221213.  The Indian government now requires travelers to and from Afghanistan, Nigeria, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Syria, to get vaccinated for polio.

Pakistan:  Perhaps because of continued U.S. drone strikes, a new version of polio has surfaced, despite a multi-million dollar Bilderberg sponsored vaccination program (led by Bill Gates). Five new cases in the first month of 2014.  92 cases in 2013.  Back in 2011, I wrote how the UN’s World Health Organization warned about the new “Wild Strain” of polio in Pakistan.  A new version of polio renders useless the current polio vaccine.  Don’t blame anti-U.S. fighters for kids not getting polio vaccines.  A coalition of educators are now joining the anti-vaccine campaign, because they’re afraid of being killed by angry parents!  You see the UNWHO has been pushing polio vaccines in Pakistan since 1978, and yet polio is on the rise.  Maybe that’s the real reason many Pakistanis have lost trust in the international vaccination program.

Somalia: Perhaps as a result of U.S. military meddling in the Horn of Africa, 190 cases reported in 2013, including the new WPV1.

Syria: No thanks to the Obama regime instigated war, there is now an outbreak of polio in Syria.  Specifically the outbreak is in refugee camps. 26 cases since 2013.  The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East used the polio cases to scare Palestinian officials in the Yarmouk Camp in Damascus, to allow 10-thousand polio vaccines to be given to children of Palestinian refugees.  Back at the end of 2013, and what main stream news didn’t report, were accusations that the UNWHO had obstructed testing for polio, and was actually preventing polio inoculations in Syria!  That accusation came from Syrian doctors: “They knew it! We have been warning them for more than a month that polio is spreading, but they refuse to send the vaccine!”-Khalid Milaji, Syrian Polio Control Task Force

By the way, prior to the U.S. instigated war there had been no polio cases for at least 14 years.

United States: In California there are now 25 cases of a “polio like” illness in children. Five children are paralyzed.  All five had the polio vaccine!  The virus is being called enterovirus-68 (possibly a type of rhinovirus).  The virus first showed up in California in 1962.  I’ve noticed that some dumb main stream news reports say it is “associated with polio like symptoms”, yet all the scientific research I looked at made no mention of polio like symptoms, calling enterovirus-68 a respiratory illness. So is this a case of the polio vaccine gone bad, and the government is trying to cover it up?  More likely it is the main streamer reporters’ misunderstanding of what a Stanford University doctor meant when he said all viruses can potentially cause paralyzation: “….other viruses can also injure the spine, leading to a polio-like syndrome.”-Keith Van Haren

Have you ever noticed that pro-vaccination campaigns use slogans like “Eradicate Polio Now!”?  Here’s reality, you can’t eradicate a virus, it’s ever evolving!  Now realize that rich elites are actually donating hundreds of millions of their money to support vaccination programs like Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s (Bilderberger) global vaccine programs.  In 2013 it was revealed that the Gates Foundation’s polio vaccine program actually caused paralysis: “In 2011 there were an extra 47,500 new cases of NPAFP [non-polio acute flaccid paralysis]. Clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio received. Though this data was collected within the polio surveillance system, it was not investigated. The principle of primum-non-nocere was violated. The authors suggest that the huge bill of US$ 8 billion spent on the programme, is a small sum to pay if the world learns to be wary of such vertical programmes in the future.”-Polio programme: let us declare victory and move on.

Now realize that out of California there are reports saying that more and more upper class, highly educated people are refusing to get vaccinated! Mmmm….

World War 3, Asian Front-Afghanistan, 17-20 February 2014: Obama regime knows of eminent false flag attack on U.S. citizens? More National Guard deployments! U.S. military personnel being convicted of crimes!

Badakhshan Province: In Yamgan District, an Israeli style raid on a Mosque resulted in four people being killed, dozens wounded.

Farah Province: In Farah Rod District, a convoy of Afghan government personnel was ambushed, resulting in a three hours long battle.  Eight people killed, seven wounded.  Five vehicles destroyed.

Herat Province: 19 Afghan National Police joined the Mujahideen.

Kabul Province: In Kabul City, a gunbattle between two rival gangs left three people killed, dozens wounded.  A cultural center compound for Shia Muslims was attacked by a suicide bomber.  The bomber and a security guard were killed.  In Surobi District, suicide car bombers attacked the police HQ.  At least three suicide bombers killed.  One cop was killed, two wounded.  Also, Mujahideen tried to once again assassinate pro-Obama presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah.  They failed, but did kill three of his bodyguards.

Kapisa Province: In Ala Say District, a 75 kilogram landmine totally destroyed a Afghan National Army armored car, killing all six personnel on board.

Kunar Province: Provincial cops report that 21 artillery rounds fired from Pakistan impacted Afghan soil.   It’s interesting to note that Afghan Mujahideen claim they pounded parts of Kunar with artillery fire.  Could the government officials be confused?  Mujahideen also report they launched days of attacks in Kunar, resulting in dozens of Afghan government personnel killed or wounded.

Nangarhar Province: In Bati Kot district, reports that U.S.-NATO-ISAF forces conducted an Israeli style night time home invasion.  A residential compound was destroyed.

Paktia Province: In Zurmat District, reports that a U.S. led airstrike killed two people.

Paktika Province: In Yusuf Khel District, three girls aged 12 to 18 were kidnapped during an Israeli style home invasion by government troops.

Pakistan admitted that 23 paramilitary personnel were killed inside Afghanistan.  However, they claim they were murdered.  My question is: What were they doing inside Afghanistan?

The German parliament has approved plans to keep German troops in Afghanistan past the 2014 pullout date.  They also approved joining France and the United Nations by increasing their occupying troops in the African country of Mali.

The British Red Coat Ministry of Defence has somehow determined that a Red Coat soldier, killed in 2013, was killed by a Mujahideen sniper located more than 1-thousand yards away.  On top of that the Red Coat was standing in a compound with 12 feet high sandbag walls!

Video has been posted on the internet, of a USAF jet dropping a 500 pounder on a U.S. Army OP in Afghanistan in 2012.  The OP just happens to be named after that U.S. football star turned soldier, who was gunned down by fellow soldiers in 2004.

The U.S. Department of State issued a travel warning to all U.S. citizens going to Afghanistan.  Apparently the Obama regime knows something: “No province in Afghanistan should be considered immune from violence and banditry, and the strong possibility exists throughout the country for hostile acts, either targeted or random, against U.S. and other foreign nationals at any time.”-State Department statement

Just days after fellow militiamen returned from Afghanistan, the Army National Guard’s Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 169th Aviation Regiment (Alabama) deploying to Afghanistan.

98 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 454th Engineer Company (Texas) deploying to Afghanistan.

130 militiamen of the Army National Guard’s 133rd Quartermaster Company (New York) deploying to Afghanistan.

An Iowa National Guardsman is in trouble after he rammed a candy vending machine with a forklift.  The result was that he lost his taxpayer funded temp job (a program to help Guardsmen returning from Afghanistan to find a job).  He says the damn machine wouldn’t give him the candy bar, even after several deposits of money.  Most people in the U.S. understand.

The Wisconsin Army National Guard is in trouble after pics of funeral soldiers showed them apparently making fun of the dead.

A former Colorado National Guard recruiter was sentenced after ripping off taxpayer funded recruitment bonuses.  According to news media reports, the thief of a recruiter told the federal judge he did not know that taking recruitment bonuses for people he did not recruit, was wrong! He gets five years probation and has to pay back $31-thousand USD in stolen bonus money.

The Indiana National Guard is in trouble after three M-14 rifles went missing.  Turns out they were in the possession of a Guardsman when he reported them stolen.  A police investigation revealed the Guardsman is a convicted felon, meaning he is not supposed to be in possession of weapons, even if in the military.  The investigation is ongoing.

A former U.S. Army soldier pled guilty to accepting a $57-thousand bribe from an Afghan trucking company, and allowed them to divert needed fuel from Forward Operating Base Salerno, as well as lying about how much fuel was actually being delivered.

The U.S. Congress spent tax dollars on a study conducted by CNA Strategic Studies.  That study says not only should the U.S. stay in Afghanistan, but that many more military personnel will be needed, than what Pentagon officials have stated!

A FoxNews investigation revealed the top three U.S. companies making billions in taxpayer money off the continued occupation of Afghanistan: DynCorp International, KBR and Fluor Corporation.

World War 3, East European Front: Ukraine now divided, civil war inevitable as ten provinces refuse to recognize new Obama regime puppet government!

23 February 2014 (16:41 UTC-07 Tango)/22 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/04 Esfand 1392/24 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

The democratically elected Ukrainian president has stepped down after calling for early elections.  The pro-Obama/European Union speaker of the house is now the interim president.  But this is just the beginning of the end for Ukraine.

Ten southeastern provinces, which contain half the population of Ukraine, have basically declared independence saying they will not recognize the Obama regime puppet government in Kiev.  They have united to form their own government, and are in the process of forming their own military to “resist” the Obama puppets!

One anti-coup Ukrainian said all the pro-Obama/EU protestors were paid by the United States and showed up in Kiev as if they were “going to work”!

Russian media ran a video from U.S. ‘journalist’, Kevin Carro(?), who actually broadcast into Ukraine with direct instructions for protestors as to how to wage war against the Ukrainian government.  In the U.S., Obama would have that guy arrested for being a terrorist if he openly told U.S. citizens how to wage war against the Obama regime.
