Exceptional Failed State: Record number of ‘mericans renounce U.S. citizenship in 2013! Almost double the 2011 record! FBI tracks expats! Gringos fleeing to Mexico!

18 February 2014 (01:26 UTC-07 Tango)/17 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/29 Bahman 1392/19 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“The U.S. used to be the ‘Rolls Royce’ of destinations, the land of opportunity, both naturalized and native-born American citizens are choosing to say goodbye to Uncle Sam today.”-Eugene Chow, immigration attorney in Hong Kong

According to the latest Federal Bureau of Investigation data, a record 3128+ Americans renounced their U.S. citizenship in 2013!   The data was made public after a Canadian news source filed a U.S. freedom-of-information demand.

But wait there’s more!  The Global News discovered that FBI data, concerning people who reject U.S. citizenship, is much higher than what the IRS and even the Department of State (DoS) has reported!  This revelation also shows that the FBI tracks former citizens!

Here’s why the FBI numbers are higher than what the IRS and DoS reports.  There is the officially recognized ‘renunciation’ of citizenship, which can cost $450 USD, and there’s the free unofficial ‘relinquishment’ of citizenship.  The FBI tracks both.

Compare the renunciation of  citizenship of U.S. residents to Canadians: An average of 172 Canadians renounce their citizenship every year, the number of U.S.ians who reject their citizenship is now in the thousands every year!

The latest report to Congress by the U.S. National Taxpayer Advocate blames the increased loss of U.S. citizens on the British empire type of taxation of U.S. citizens living in other countries.  FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) imposes massive fines, even tens of thousands of dollars for just being late with the filing!

“…the IRS has not acted upon advice it has received from some well-informed stakeholders. FATCA carries with it the potential for substantial
resource burdens and significant due process concerns that will arise….”-from the National Taxpayer Advocate’s report to Congress: The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act Has the Potential to be Burdensome, Overly Broad, and Detrimental to Taxpayers

But remember, the number of citizenship renunciations pales in comparison to the number of  ‘mericans simply fleeing their country.  According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, U.S. citizens are the number one migrant group moving TO Mexico, by almost 1-million in 2010!  But the Obama regime has this warning: “Persons who wish to renounce U.S. citizenship should be aware of the fact that renunciation of U.S. citizenship may have no effect whatsoever on his or her U.S. tax or military service obligations….”-U.S. Department of State

Another 1.18 million citizens have left the U.S.! Don’t blame new tax rules! 

Yet again, Record number of people renounce U.S. citizenship. 

More U.S. citizens renounce their citizenship, American exodus continues, if you leave you are now a terrorist 

people officially renounce U.S. citizenship because of taxes

Idaho, U.S.

More Economic Decline: Idaho politicians give away more than $18-million in Idaho taxes, to out-o-state lawyers!

17 February 2014 (16:22 UTC-07 Tango)/16 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/28 Bahman 1392/18 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“The ‘Buy Idaho’ message is simple but profound: Doing business with the family helps us all.  That was the idea 25 years ago when I helped found Buy Idaho, and it’s still the idea today. Keeping our dollars here at home contributes to our economic growth. It helps pay for the schools, services and infrastructure we all need to compete in the global marketplace. It just makes good sense to Buy Idaho.”–Butch Otter, lying governor of Idaho

The Associated Press reporting that ‘elected’ and appointed Idaho officials have spent at least $18-million USD in Idahoan’s tax dollars on out of state attorneys!

The AP had to file a public records request with the State Comptroller in order to reveal the taxpayer rip off that took place over the past three years (at least).

The AP also discovered that out of state lawyer fees, paid by the dumb taxpayers who supposedly continue to re-elect the government thieves, range from $125 to more than $300 per hour!  How much does a in-state Idaho lawyer cost taxpayers?  Only $54 per hour!!!

The AP also reported that the governor/dictator Butch Otter loves using out-o-state attorneys.

Fukushima, U.S.

Radiation leak in the United States! Real life emergency as alarms sound at WIPP!

16 February 2014 (16:08 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/27 Bahman 1392/17 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“….I believe it’s safe to say we’ve never seen a level like we are seeing. We just don’t know if it’s a real event, but it looks like one.”-Roger Nelson, U.S. Department of Energy

Radiation alarms have been going off at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico, since Friday night!  Most employees have been sent home, sensors indicate alpha and beta contamination in the air!  Local news media reports said employees were seen taking soil samples, but say no contamination found, so far.

The alarms went off as WIPP was being prepped for routine maintenance ops.  High levels of airborne radiation is being detected near WIPP’s Panel 7, Room 7, in the south salt mine.  DoE officials admitted alarms have gone off before, but were always determined to be false alarms.  This time they are concerned because the levels being detected, now, have never been seen before: “I can’t tell you the amount or level but they were elevated and above normal, above background….”-Roger Nelson, DoE

Several days ago a WIPP salt truck caused an evacuation when it caught on fire!  DoE officials say there is no connection to the current radiation leak and the truck fire.

 

Fukushima

More Fukushima Fallout: Snow storms flood Strontium 90 into groundwater! Uranium prices crashing! Native Americans demand action! Men avoiding contaminated women?

16 February 2014 (15:50 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/27 Bahman 1392/17 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Tokyo Electric Power Company reporting that almost 20 tons of strontium-90 has flooded into the groundwater around the contaminated water storage tank farm near reactor Unit 4!  The cause: Snow storms and the idiotic way they tried to raise the height of the ridiculously short barrier wall around the tank farm.

Japan has been hit with record level snow.  Fukushima Daiich is literally hot with radiation so it all melts.

Last year TEPCo feebly tried to raise the short height of flood barrier walls, around the tank farms, by simply clamping a new section of wall on top of the old one.  The clamps are just sections of steel plate bolted to the walls.  Throwaway workers found at least seven massive leaks coming from the join between the top and bottom walls around the tank farm near reactor Unit 4.  The water contains 23 becquerels per liter of strontium 90.

More big snow storms are forecasted to hit Japan.

It turns out the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster has resulted in crashing uranium prices.  Several uranium mining operations have actually stopped digging for the radioactive rock (Paladin Energy lost $255-million USD in the last half of 2013).  Uranium prices are below $36-per pound.

Former president and CEO of Ontario Hydro International, Thomas Drolet, says the official estimate for the cost of ‘cleaning up’ Fukushima Daiichi is a lie.  He says it will cost at least $120-billion, and taxpayers are going to pay for it!

For weeks now, native Americans (aka First Nations) in Canada have been demanding action by the evil British empire government in Canada.  They want the government to begin official radiological testing of food sources along the Canadian Pacific Coast.

The Korean edition of Maxim men’s magazine is getting Japanese all hot and bothered.  That’s because it has an article claiming to tell men how to find and date women not contaminated by radiation!  Here’s how one Japanese responded: “I’ve gotten tired of looking at these ridiculous stories day after day. I’m begging you, please just ship everyone off to Mars.”

Business/Economics, U.S.

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. job losses & store closings 25-26 October 2013. More hobby shops go down! More university cuts! More auto industry layoffs! 500 healthcare workers laid off! Hundreds of attorneys fired!

Incomplete list of announced closings and layoffs:

Internet video game maker, The Playforge, laid off an undisclosed number of employees.  However, the company’s website says “We’re hiring!”

California: Who said internet businesses are thriving? In Los Angeles, SpinMedia laid off about 30 employees, and shutdown eight of their websites.  Company officials say they are no longer making a profit on the internet!

Colorado: The Denver Post laid off six employees.

Florida: Miami based LexisNexis Legal & Professional laid off 205 employees across the U.S.!  It’s blamed on a merger with a marketing company.

Massachusetts: Reports that the Ashland Malt Shop shutdown.  Reports say the owner had to sell out after 25 years of business.

Michigan: In Farmington Hills, Sprint laid off 56 employees.

Minnesota: In Le Sueur, an ALCO grocery store shutdown: “The economy has clearly had an impact on store sales, and we’ve made the very difficult decision to close.”-company statement

Missouri: Officials with Drury University said they laid off less than 10 people, and shutdown 35 open positions. Officials blame it on declining student enrollment.

New Jersey: In Collingswood, Casona restaurant shutdown.  The owner blames it on personal injuries and problems with a business partner.

New York: Long Island College Hospital laid off 500 people!

Pennsylvania: Edinboro University eliminated 30 positions, and warned of more cuts because of “dire straights”.  Officials blame the bad economy for cutting funding and enrollment.  In Pottstown, Weis Market shutdown “due to continuing under-performance”.  35 jobs lost.  In Bloomsburg, Windsor Foods shutdown, 160 jobs lost! This is the same food factory that was scheduled to get $15-million USD in federal taxes to build a flood barrier around the factory.  The catch was that Windsor Foods was supposed to spend $1-million of their own money on the flood prevention project, but they say they don’t have it, so they shutdown.

South Dakota: In Souix Falls, movie entertainment provider to hotels and hospitals, Sonifi, laid off at least 70 people.  It’s blamed on new owners.

Texas: What automotive industry recovery?  More layoffs by Gulf States Toyota. This time 83 jobs lost in Houston.  It’s blamed on “a change in business objectives”.

Virginia: In Salem, reports that tax sucker General Electric laid off about 20 employees.

Washington: Public relations company, Waggener Edstrom, laid off 43 employees. Company officials blame it on changes with their biggest client, Microsoft.

Wisconsin: In Wausau a 50 years old hobby store shutdown.  The owner of Pope’s Hobbyland said it was time he retired.

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.

World War 3, East Asian False Flag Front: North Korean rocket made with U.S. electronics!

16 February 2014 (00:56 UTC-07 Tango)/15 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/27 Bahman 1392/17 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Despite international sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), sections of a rocket recovered after its launch, in 2012, revealed it was made with electronic parts from the U.S., United Kingdom and Switzerland!   Is this why leaders of the U.S. and U.K. were so sure the rocket was really a ballistic missile, because they were involved?

This latest news is being leaked by unnamed Republic of Korea (South Korea) officials.  South Korea recovered some of the rocket sections that splashed down in the ocean after the December 2012 launch.  The unnamed RoK officials believe the electronic parts were not covered under U.S. led international sanctions, saying anybody could buy them!

World War 3, East Asian Front: Obama regime to base nuke weapons in Japan! More proof U.S. claims against Iran are bogus!

15 February 2014 (13:48 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/26 Bahman 1392/16 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

Kyodo News reports that neo-imperialist Foreign Minister Kishida Fumio announced Japan is willing to allow the Obama regime to base nuclear weapons in Japan.  This is a direct result of increasing tensions between Japan, China, Korea and several other east Asian countries over the oil rich areas in and around the South China Sea.

But wait, there’s more.  Turns out that Japan has had this ‘secret’ nuclear weapons deal with the United States since the Cold War, revealed in 2010 by then Foreign Minister Okada Katsuya:“We have never been able to categorically assert that no nuclear weapons were brought into Japan.”

It turns out there are U.S. nuke weapons on Okinawa, in direct violation of the Japanese signing of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, as well as their own non-nuclear policies which state that no nuclear weapons are allowed in Japan.

I’ve written before that Japan is probably building nuke weapons, after the head of Japan’s Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) admitted they were not ensuring that nuclear material was being used for “peaceful purposes”, saying the AEC was only a “formality”.

Japan has also made a deal with Turkey to reprocess nuclear fuel, allowing Turkey to extract weapons grade plutonium for Japan!  Nuclear analysts have surmised that if Japan openly went for building nuke weapons it could do it in less than 12 months.

Japan even wants to get involved with the Iranian nuclear program! So why is the United States all hot and bothered about Iran?

Remember, Japan is a puppet of the United States, and the Obama regime has repeatedly stated they will back up Japan even if it means war with China or North Korea.  Obama is not bringing the troops back home from the illegal War on Terror, he’s  shifting U.S. military power to Japan, and South Korea, for the coming war with China.

Japan wants UN to recognize slave labor industry as a “World Heritage”!

Japan wants UN to recognize suicide bombers as a “World Heritage”!

Japan to build nuclear power plants in Iran!

Official Orwellian Double-Speak pro-war propaganda program has begun 

Japanese leaders overheard talking about invading Korea!

Japanese news media is reporting that Hagel is planning to officially ask Japan to prepare to take over some U.S. military ops

Trilateral Commission member, Japan, to create new Homeland Security office!

Japan enters U.S. data collection/spying market!

Imperialist Japan to increase military spending by tens of billions 

TriLateral Imperialism as the U.S. mulls allowing Japan to invade Korea!!!

The Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller in 1973.  The official goal is to foster economic and political co-operation between Japan, North American countries and European countries (notice these are the regions that are currently in big economic trouble).

In 2000, the Japan membership was expanded to include many other Asian countries, and is now called the Pacific Asian Group.

In April 2013, Japan became a member of NATO (which has become the Trilateral Commission’s military unit): “…..You might ask why the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should come to the Pacific region.  The answer is very simple.  Today’s NATO is a new NATO.  It’s a NATO with a global perspective.  It’s a NATO with global partners.  And Japan is our longest-standing global partner…..NATO and Japan are like-minded……we can help the United Nations and the international community to reinforce the rules-based international system……we need common approaches and responses…….To confront global threats such as terrorism, cyber attacks, and proliferation…..And I am delighted that later today, Prime Minister Abe and I will sign a Joint Political Declaration to guide our future work.”-Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO Secretary General, from statement made on the morning of 15 April 2013, Japan National Press Club

Exceptional Failed State: Sears shuts down 4 years old store! More massive Kmart closings! Customer data stolen! Sears admits to ripping off employees!

15 February 2014 (01:23 UTC-07 Tango)/14 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/26 Bahman 1392/16 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

The Inlet Square Mall, in South Carolina, loses a Kmart.  A 40 years old West Ashely, South Carolina, Kmart shut down.  The property has already been sold off for $10-million USD!  Sears shuts down a Craftsman Experience store in Illinois, after only four years of operations.  Illinois also losing the Galesburg Sears.  Colorado Springs, Colorado, lost another Kmart.  New York losing two more Kmarts.  Wisconsin losing two long time Kmarts in May. Washington losing a 26 years old Kmart in April.  Virginia loses a Newport News Kmart.  Indiana losing their Logansport Sears in May.   Ohio losing a Kmart in May.  In Kentucky, a Cannonsburg Sears will close in May, the Auto Center will close at the end of February.  Two Minnesota Kmarts closing.  One in March, one in May.  New Mexico loses another Kmart.

Officials are reporting that a robber got away with customer’s pharmacy data from a Wind Gap, Pennsylvania, Kmart store. The robbery happened at the beginning of January, and police still haven’t caught the robber!

A Kmart store manager in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, has been arrested in connection with long time money thefts from two Kmarts!  Kmart officials say the manager was falsifying merchandise return and register transaction documents.  Supposedly the arrested manager said he was stealing the money to pay the IRS, and other debts.

Sears has settled a California lawsuit which accuses the company of not paying employees overtime pay.  The total settlement comes to $3.2-million.  Don’t hold your breath for Sears to actually pay that money out.

Medical Martial Law: U.S. doctor with connections to Fort Hall, Idaho, convicted of torturing children!

14 February 2014 (12:55 UTC-07 Tango)/13 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/25 Bahman 1392/15 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

A famous pediatrician, now in the U.S. state of Delaware, has been convicted by his peers of waterboarding his wife’s daughter.  The sick Christian doctor tried to claim he was washing the girl’s hair!  He had been charged with other tortures as well, such as starvation, force feeding, suffocation and forcing the girl to use her toy box as a toilet.

In 2012, the girl managed to runaway and get help.  Her mother pled guilty to endangering her daughter’s life, she said she was afraid of the loving Christian doctor and went along with whatever he said.

What made this sicko famous were his two books published in the 1990s, about near death experiences (NDE).  It should have been a warning because they focused on children who died and came back to life.  He also wrote magazine articles and even appeared on Oprah and Larry King.  How could a doctor have so many encounters with children who died and came back?

He was a pediatrician who worked in the states of Washington, Delaware, California and even for the Fort Hall Indian Health Service in Idaho.  In 2007 he created The Spiritual Scientific Research Foundation, and has been praised for his NDE research by several ‘Christian’ organizations.  Is it possible he actually instigated the NDE in the helpless children under his control?   His name; Melvin Morse.
