The largest pharmacy benefits provider in the United States, Express Scripts, laid off 100 people across the country!  This is rumored to be the first round of layoffs for 2014.  Last year they killed 425 jobs!  The company has been restructuring ever since taking over Medco Health Solutions in 2012.

Arizona:  The once profitable Gilbert Hospital is now chapter 11 bankrupt busted.  It’s blamed on everything from corrupt hospital officials, to a creditor suddenly calling in a $1.1-million USD loan, to Obama Care funding cuts.  At least 100 jobs threatened!  In Willcox, NatureSweet laid off 70 employees at their tomato greenhouse operation.  Last year they laid off 65 employees.  Please note that NatureSweet also uses prisoners as employees, and none of them got laid off.  The Willcox operation used to be owned by EuroFresh, and back then they employed 400 prisoners.  It was also revealed that for years there has been a “disease” inside the greenhouses, but company officials claim they have it under control.  In Phoenix, the South Mountain YMCA shutdown, due to declining memberships.

We must change in order to sustain our purpose…..”-Barbara Mackovic, spokeswoman

Exceptional Failed State: Don’t blame guns! Bullied Isle Vista shooter deranged by prescription drugs?

25 May 2014 (21:31 UTC-07 Tango 24 May 2014)/25 Rajab 1435/04 Khordad 1393/27 Ji-Si 4712

“….he fell from a balcony at a party or was thrown off of it. I think he was probably a victim from my understanding of bullying throughout his life… I’m sure that had played a role in the terrible consequences from last night.”-Alan Schifman, Rodger family attorney

Former U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, outright lied to reporters when she said “This is almost the kind of event that’s impossible to prevent and almost impossible to predict.”

California’s Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department revealed that not only was the Isle Vista shooter under psychiatric care, but the cops and social workers knew about it!  The guy even began posting his strange videos weeks ago, prompting a social worker to contact cops last week!

The son of the assistant director for the first Hunger Games movie was being treated by “multiple therapists” (implying multiple prescriptions).

The Rodger family is openly anti-gun, but that didn’t stop their son from somehow acquiring guns and an incredible amount of ammo.  Anybody notice that these mass shooters always get their hands on massive amounts of ammo, at a time when law abiding gun owners are struggling to find ammo due to the fact that multiple federal agencies are buying up civilian ammo by the ton?

Of course, already families of victims are calling for outright gun ban.  But guess what, why didn’t the cops intervene when they had a chance, based on the videos the shooter posted before he went on the drug induced(?) rampage?  After all, they did interview him.

Maybe if UCSB allowed guns on campus, like here in Idaho, somebody could’ve shot the guy early on.

And banning guns wouldn’t have stopped him from stabbing to death his three roommates.  I don’t hear those families of the victims calling for a sharp object ban.  And what about reports of people he ran over with his car, is it time to ban cars?  By the way, in the U.S. more people are killed by cars than guns.

Why don’t these so called responsible citizens who want to ban guns take a look at the fact that all mass shootings in the U.S. involved prescription drugs?

Since 1988 there have been 32 mass shootings at schools where the shooters were on prescription drugs, and those are just the cases where it was made public.  Mass shootings in shopping malls and even military bases have one thing in common: prescription drug use by the shooter!  Increasing suicides and ‘accidental’ overdoses are also connected to these legal drugs.

Even the International Society For Ethical Psychology and Psychiatry states that mass shootings are caused by prescription drug use, not the guns themselves.

But those so called responsible anti-gun Americans won’t call for a ban on prescription drugs, because they are prescription drug addicts themselves!  You made your bed, now sleep in it!

Legal drugs associated with mass shootings in the United States:  Prozac, Ambien, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, Ritalin, Xanax, Trazodone, Effexor and Celexa.

Most of those drugs are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI).  There is a website that tracks killings connected to these drugs: SSRI Stories

Martial Law U.S.A.: California’s anti-gun laws fail to stop mom from killing her three children!

25 May 2014 (19:25 UTC-07 Tango 24 May 2014)/25 Rajab 1435/04 Khordad 1393/27 Ji-Si 4712

California has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the United States, yet they didn’t stop a mother of three from stabbing to death all her children!

It happened earlier this week.  The dead children were found by their grandmother on 20 May 2014.

California also has laws regarding the use of knives to commit crimes, but that didn’t stop the killer mom.

The grandmother also found the mom laying naked next to her dead children.  Apparently the mom tried to kill herself.  Grandma then ran outside the house, throwing a bloody knife towards the father and exclaiming “You wife has gone crazy!”

Iran executes Too Big to Jail bank fraudster!

25 May 2014 (19:13 UTC-07 Tango 24 May 2014)/25 Rajab 1435/04 Khordad 1393/27 Ji-Si 4712

A man accused of being the mastermind behind a $2.6-billion USD bank scam might be Too Big to Jail in the United States, but in Iran he’d be convicted, jailed and then executed!

The man behind the biggest bank fraud scam in Iran’s history (since the 1979 Revolution) was executed on 24 May 2014.  He was convicted of ripping off the state bank, since 2007, by forging loan documents.   Of course he had help, 39 people were convicted in connection with the scam.

The man built a business empire that spanned the world, including operations in South America.  According to his attorney with his execution the government of Iran now controls his empire’s assets.

U.S. Civil War 2014: Think it’s bad now? Get ready for the Summer of Violence! Hunger Games behind latest shootings? Anti-gun laws are a big fail!

24 May 2014 (00:52 UTC-07 Tango)/24 Rajab 1435/03 Khordad 1393/26 Ji-Si 4712

Please note that many law enforcement agencies across the United States are “gearing up” for a “summer of violence”.  Why for, if there’s no civil war?

California:  In Isle Vista, police responded to what one witness described as an “Old Western shoot out.”  Seven people killed (including lone gunman), 11 wounded.   A local news reporter is claiming that the gunman was shot by cops in a “rolling gun battle” (County deputies now say he shot himself)!  Cops call it a “retribution shooting” by the son of Paul Rodger, the assistant director on the first Hunger Games movie.  Elliot Rodger posted a pathetic video to the internet in which he states that he will kill people simply because women didn’t want to have sex with him!  New reports say he also stabbed to death three roommates before going on his shooting spree.  This happened in the UCSB college town of Isle Vista.  University of California Santa Barbara bans guns: “No person shall possess or have control of any firearm, deadly weapon, explosive device, or prohibited knife, as defined in the California Penal Code, except as required in the lawful course of business or as authorized by the UCSB Police Chief. Possession, storage, and use must comply with California law.”.   In Antioch, police investigating three separate shootings that wounded three people.   Hayward cops responded to five shootings in the past week.  One man was killed, seven wounded.  Police say none of the victims will cooperate with the investigation.    In Santa Anna, in the past two weeks shootings have killed three people.  Police say they’re gang related but they don’t think there is a gang war on.  In Salinas, Night of riots after three people killed by cops!  The NAZI Orange County DA cleared several cops of any wrong doing in the deaths of four people, including two “in custody deaths”.  One of those killed was shot about eight times by the cop, right in front of his mother! (there is a war goin’ on and the cops ain’t on your side, folks)

Maryland:  Baltimore City cops responded to five shootings in the past 24 hours.  Two men were killed, three wounded.   One man was shot in the chest and he walked himself to hospital.  Police have no suspects!  And in the 24 hours before that six people were shot, four men and two women.

Illinois:  Chicago update 18-23 May 2014.  In Aurora, police investigating two separate shootings.  One was the result of an argument, the other involved a hispanic man randomly shooting.

Indiana: In Indianapolis, four people killed three wounded (including a 10 years old girl).

Louisiana:  In New Orleans, police are looking for a gang banger in connection with three shootings and a car theft.

Missouri:  In Kennett, a couple of drive by shootings.  In one shooting a person in a car was wounded and a cop sitting in his car was almost hit.  Only one person has been arrested.

New York:  In Rochester, three men were shot in separate shootings, all are now in the hospital.  Despite new anti-gun laws in New York City the NYPD reports 410 shootings since January, a 7% increase over the same time last year.  Break it down to shootings at public housing projects and it increases by 32%!  City officials want to hire 1-thousand more NAZI cops, but say they don’t have the money.

Oregon:  Portland police responded to nine shootings in the past two weeks.  One shooting involved at least 21 rounds of ammo.  Another shooting was between people in two cars driving down I-84.  Cops blame gang bangers, several people wounded.

Tennessee:  In Memphis, three people wounded in two separate shootings.

Washington:  Seattle cops investigating two reported shootings.  Empty shell casings were found, but supposedly nobody got hit.

Wisconsin:  In Milwaukee, two separate shootings two people wounded.  No arrests made.  Days prior three people were shot and wounded in separate shootings, including a 15 years old boy and 11 years old girl. No suspects.

This is not a complete list of shootings for the first few weeks of the month of May, 2014.

Most shootings are blamed on gang bangers (Teen Crews), and the overwhelming majority of guns used by gang bangers are already illegal under current laws, so don’t waste our time calling for more anti-gun laws!

Exceptional Failed State: U.S. voters prove they are insane!

24 May 2014 (23:24 UTC-07 Tango 23 May 2014)/24 Rajab 1435/03 Khordad 1393/26 Ji-Si 4712

This week voters in the United Failed States of America proved they are indeed insane.  Millions of people voted in state primaries and other local elections.

Election after election citizens vote (believing it’s their “duty” despite the fact that there is nothing in the Constitution mandating voting to prove you’re a loyal citizen), and, election after election most voters claim they didn’t get what they voted for!   Then why the hell do you keep voting ?

Some unknown/unconfirmed genius calls that insanity: “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Washington:   In Bellevue, Intellectual Ventures laid off an undisclosed number of employees.

11-12 February 2014: Property owners continue killing mom & pops! 

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.

Most victims took themselves to hospital, or were brought by neighbors.

Various agencies inside the department have been considered at high risk for fraud and waste by the GAO since 1990……..The GAO said in its report issued Tuesday that the long-standing accounting weaknesses mean the defense department still cannot account for its total assets or estimate improper payments.”
