U.S. Civil War: Chicago update 31 May – 02 June 2014, 4 dead 15 wounded! 7% increase in shootings, despite anti-gun laws!

Police report a 7% increase in shootings compared to the same time last year.  This despite anti-gun laws and millions of dollars spent on anti-violence programs.

The following is an incomplete list of shootings that took place from Saturday to early morning hours Monday.

3800 block of North St. Louis Avenue: 16 years old boy shot and killed while walking with a group.  Police say it was a drive by shooting.

2600 block of East 83rd Street: 33 years old man shot and killed.  Police say the shooters walked up to the man.  The man was shot in the legs and arm, but died by the time he got to the hospital.

7000 block of East 87th Street (Chatham): 21 years old man apparently minding his own business and sitting in his SUV, when somebody walked up to him and blasted him multiple times. He was killed.  Social media say he was a budding rap singer.  Police say he tried to drive off after being shot, but died and his SUV crashed into a B*Fresh clothing store.

7900 block of South Champlain Avenue (Chatham): 23 years old man shot and wounded in the leg.

7100 block of South Seeley Avenue: 26 years old man shot in the shoulder and wounded.

West Ferdinand Street and North Lavergne Avenue: Six people ranging in ages of 14 to 22 were standing at the intersection when they got shot.  One male was killed and five females were wounded.

2000 block of West 68th Street: 21 years old woman shot and wounded by a drive by shooter.

1900 block of North Tripp Avenue: 26 years old man shot in the  head while driving.  Amazingly police say he is alive.

Washtenaw Avenue and 24th Street: 49 years old woman shot, now in critical condition.  Witnesses say the shooter was actually trying to shoot at a group of men.

Cermak Road and Kolin Avenue: A 28 years old woman who was making a music video was shot and wounded. An 18 years old man shot in the thigh, walked himself to the hospital.

8500 block of South Marquette Road: 25 years old man shot in the back, now in critical condition.

Police say most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!

Chicago update 28-30 May 2014

Business/Economics, International, U.S.

Where are they going? South of the border is the number one destination, just ask Jesse Ventura! 2014 to be another record year for rejection of U.S. citizenship!

02 June 2014 (18:30 UTC-07 Tango 01 June 2014)/03 Sha’ban 1435/12 Khordad 1393/05 Geng Wu 4712

Fate is twisted, after decades of U.S. citizens pissing and whining about ‘Mexicans’ swarming into the United States the shoe is now on the other foot!

Now, U.S. citizens are literally swarming into Mexico.  As of 2010, U.S. and Mexican government data estimate the number of U.S. citizens living in Mexico at between 740-thousand and 1-million!  That’s a record.

Compare that to the claims of the evil British empire member Canada: 2011 data shows just over 311-thousand U.S. citizens calling the Great White North home.

It must be noted that Brazil is challenging Canada’s position as number two destination spot.  Unconfirmed reports say as many as 350-thousand U.S. citizens live in Brazil.

The capitol of the evil British empire (and mortal enemy of the United States) United Kingdom might be the third destination spot for ‘Americans’:  The 2001 U.K. census puts U.S. citizens at 158,434.

Israel and Italy are challenging United Kingdom’s number three spot. Israel claims 185-thousand U.S. citizens, while Italy claims as many as 200-thousand.

Unfortunately there are no hard and fast numbers, as each country conducts census surveys on their own terms, and even the U.S. government keeps lousy track of U.S. citizens living abroad.  But no country can come close to Mexico’s one million U.S. citizens! Heck, even ex-Navy SEAL, action movie actor and former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, now calls his Mexican home his “government in exile”!

Probably the best source for tracking ‘Americans’ living abroad is the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), due to Congress passing draconian tax laws against U.S. citizens living abroad.

Thanks to the  FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) and FATCA (Foreign Asset Tax Compliance Act) the IRS has stolen $55-billion from ‘Americans’ living abroad.

In fact, ever since 1996 the IRS has issued quarterly reports (through the Federal Register) revealing those ‘Americans’ who officially reject their citizenship (officially called expatriation), and 2014 is going to be another record year.  I counted the names on the latest report and counted about 1-thousand rejected their citizenship during the months of  January to March.  Compare that to the same time in 2013 when about 670 rejected their citizenship.  If the trend continues, say 1-thousand every quarter for 2014, then you could estimate that 4-thousand ‘Americans’ will reject their citizenship.  Now compare that to all of 2013 when about 3-thousand ‘Americans’ rejected their U.S. citizenship (which was a record year as well).

U.S. citizens fleeing to Canada!  

the unemployed are leaving…….where are they going? 

 

Record number of ‘mericans renounce U.S. citizenship in 2013!

U.S. job losses & store closings 22 – 24 February 2014: Massive ObamaCare shutdown in idaho! Pets being thrown out? No more Outback? Where’s the California beef? More city officials killing jobs!

Incomplete list of announced closings & layoffs.

Outback Steakhouse began shutting down 22 Aussie style restaurants across the U.S.A.  The restaurants to be shuttered are in Arizona, Iowa, South Carolina, New York, Tennessee and Kansas.   Bloomin’ Brands is also closing restaurants under the names of Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar, and Roy’s.  Bloomin’ Brands officials say the shutdowns are just for the first quarter of 2014, more could follow.

California: Who said there ain’t no inflation? In Brawley, Kansas based National Beef shutting down a major meat packing plant in April. 1300 jobs lost!  Company officials blame the crashing supply of cows for driving up their costs (supply vs demand).  Cattle ranchers blame the decline in cow numbers on the long term drought.  Tax sucker PAE Applied Technologies killed 12 military jobs at China Lake and Point Mugu.

Idaho:  In Boise, Obama Care call center operator Maximus announced it will kill 1600 jobs by the end of April!  Retail businesses located around the call center say they will be directly impacted.  Employees are suing because they have not been paid for overtime that they’ve worked, and they were told the jobs were permanent full time positions.  Company officials now say the positions were officially temporary!  Company officials directly blame Obama Care: “The reduction in staffing is based on the nature of the contract and the reduced volume of calls, both of which are directly related to the enrollment period under the Affordable Care Act.”

Indiana:In Muncie, after 60 years Camp Isanogel shutting down.  The operators say maintenance costs keep going up, while revenues keep going down.  They admitted they’ve lost money for years.

Michigan: In Green Oak Township, Liquid Manufacturing shutdown.   The property was auctioned off for $3.25-million.  More than 200 jobs lost!  The Township is still owed more than $620-thousand in unpaid taxes and utilities.

New Jersey: Gillian’s Funland of Sea Isle City shutdown.  The owner blames Hurricane Sandy, from which he never recovered.  He spent $2.5-million building the amusement park, and Mother Nature took it away.

New York:  Poughkeepsie city officials warned of at least 25 job cuts.  The city is struggling with 300 abandoned properties, crashing tax revenues, crashing property sales, all putting the city in $3.6-million USD of debt.  On top of that, major local employer IBM has been killing jobs, and rumors say IBM is about to bring the hammer down.  In Rochester, after only three years God refused to stop the shutdown of The Generosity Store.  Profits from the store went to support the School of the Holy Childhood.  In Pittsford, the Life is Good store shutdown.  Apparently Life bitch slapped the owners to let them know that Life is not always good.  In Potsdam the supporter of unwanted animals, the Best Friends thrift store, shutting down after only three years of operations.  Apparently unwanted pets have no best friends in Potsdam?  The owners claim the store is able to support the local Humane Society, but the owners say they have better things to do.  They’ve come up with a plan to have the store run by unpaid volunteers, but admit “The bottom line is money, and we need it.”  In Watertown, after 12 years the Brew Ha Ha coffee house shutdown.  The owner is also a city council member, and she says she needs to spend more time taking care of the city.  At the Westchester County airport, baggage contractor Ground Handling shutting down by May.  128 jobs lost!  They lost their contract.

North Carolina: Legal drugs pusher Purdue Pharmaceuticals laid off six employees at its Wilson Park operations.  Company officials said the layoffs are part of their restructuring to become more efficient.

Oregon: Lebanon city officials eliminating ten positions.  The city is suffering from crashing tax revenues, and is trying to save $1-million.  Also, an independent audit revealed the city was using the general fund to pay some employees, which resulted in at least $200-thousand being taken from the general fund inappropriately.  City officials now realize their yearly budgeting has not been in line with the realities of declining tax revenues and actual costs of maintaining a city.

Pennsylvania: In Lower Saucon Township, the Starters Pub shutdown.  Local news reports say it was without warning or explanation.

Virginia: Capital Bagel Bakery store shutdown. The operators blame the property owners: “We were given one month notice to vacate the space due to the landlord’s consideration of Fresh Mart, since they’re carrying bagels as well.” 

Washington: In Sodo, Sears announced it will shutdown their Starbucks Center store and Auto Center operations by summer, 79 jobs lost.

21 February 2014: More greedy property owners!

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.

6600 block of South Union Avenue: An NPR reporter witnessed a gang banger shooting as he was interviewing a real estate agent: “He got out the car,  he parked right there and got out and just started shooting.  I actually didn’t even duck because I was just so, I thought it was, like, a movie. Like, I was just so stunned.”-Asiaha Butler, real estate agent

“…a man is standing outside of a car, firing a large semi-automatic rifle at a target around the corner we cannot see. Asiaha pushes the little girl indoors…..The shooter’s target was a van traveling east on 66th Street, not even a half a block away. Police say it was found at a nearby hospital with bullet holes on all four sides……a 28 year old male, was hit, the bullet lodged in his head, behind his ear.”-David Schaper, NPR reporter

Local news reports indicate that many Chicagoans are pissing themselves and demanding police state martial law tactics from the government.  And of course, they’re demanding the government spend even more tax money on creating a huge paramilitary police force to fight the gangs.  How about this, why don’t law abiding citizens get their own guns and start shooting back!  That’s what the 2nd Amendment is all about!  I’ve noticed that in every case of gang banger shootings the reports indicate the victims are not armed!

Police say most of the gun violence is caused by gang bangers. New anti-gun laws would not stop the shootings, because most guns used by gang bangers are already illegal!

Where are they going? Steady increase in U.S. citizens fleeing to Canada!

30 May 2014 (21:24 UTC-07 Tango 29 May 2014)/30 Rajab 1435/09 Khordad 1393/02 Ji Si (5th) 4712

People fleeing to Canada are becoming such a problem for the British empire country that immigration laws are about to become tougher.   One of the problems revealed is that Canadian law firms are helping employers avoid current laws, which say Canadian citizens must be considered for employment over immigrants.

Apparently Canadian companies are taking advantage of the mass immigrations of economic refugees, including those from the United States, because they can pay them far less than what they pay Canadian citizens.

Ever since 9/11 Canada has seen a steady yearly increase in U.S. citizens becoming permanent residents.

According to Canadian government statistics, in 2005 U.S. citizens made up 250,535 of the immigrants granted permanent residence.

In 2011, 8,829 U.S. citizens were granted permanent residence.  In 2012, 9,414 U.S. citizens became permanent residents of Canada.

But Canada is not the number one destination for U.S. citizens fleeing economic and political hardship, in fact U.S. citizens make up only about 4% of the immigrants in the Great White North.

Stay tuned.

the unemployed are leaving the Gem State! But where are they going?

At least five brand new unsold Toyotas were killed in Pocatello, Idaho, today.    However, no humans were hurt in the making of the massive accident.

Click on the pics to make them bigger:

“The back trailer started to tilt and sway up and snap and then I looked over at the driver and I seen him yelling into the mic and then I looked down and then just seen it tilt the rest of the way and slowly watched it hit the Computer Warehouse sign and then drift into the parking lot at Phil Meador.”-Miguel Dominic, witness interviewed by KPVI

Witnesses say one of the fatally wounded Toyotas was thrown into the air.  Apparently the newly built tank was heading to a Colorado natural gas plant.
