“This worked for many years but times have changed” Bose revealed secretly offshoring hundreds of U.S. jobs! British empire abandons Texas! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 29 March 2016

Incomplete list of job loss announcements and shutdowns.

A study by ValuePenguin says 80% of High-Deductible Health Insurance Plans don’t qualify for the ObamaCare Health Savings Account tax break!

California: An investment company with way too many cooks in the kitchen (their website lists 10 ‘presidents’) Cetera Financial Group now chapter 11 bankrupt but not busted, it’s all part of their plan to go private in connection with RCS Capital.  At Camp Pendleton, tax sucker TransitAmerica Services eliminating 30 jobs by the end of June. 40 years old industrial metal fabricator Paris Precision issued a layoff WARN for their Paso Robles ops, 130 jobs lost by mid-May!  What housing construction industry recovery?  Home builder ZETA Communities suddenly shutdown their McClellan Park operations, 122 jobs lost, no explanation!  More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high-tech for your demise; British empire United Kingdom based software solutions company (according to Bloomberg) nobody heard of, Mycom North America, revealed it suddenly shutdown their Santa Fe Springs ops, two weeks ago.  138 jobs lost, no explanation!  Boeing issued more layoff WARNs, this time 49 jobs in El Segundo and Huntington Beach gone by mid-May.

Florida: In Tampa, distribution company Hapag-Lloyd America eliminating 55 jobs by the end of May.

Georgia: In Atlanta, employees of Thirteen Pies pizza joint reporting they’ve been told they will become unemployed within 60 days.  The company that owns Thirteen Pies, Raised Palate Restaurants, says no final decision has been made, however local news reported that Raised Palate Restaurants shutdown another food joint in the same plaza back in January.

Idaho: What timing! After ‘christian lawmakers’ shit-canned a bill to close the ObamaCare healthcare gap for at least 78-thousand people (also attributed to killing 1-thousand Idahoans) a new U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report shows Idaho is the second worst state for lack of healthcare for low-income people with mental problems or addictions.    Interestingly the top two offenders, Utah (ranked at 40% of low-income disabled residents uninsured) and Idaho (ranked 39% uninsured), are both densely packed with Mormons/Christians (U.S. Census Bureau data), who also dominate their government services.

Illinois: In Bradely, after six years Impact Fitness shutting down on Thursday because the owner can’t afford to make the facility accessible to disabled people: “…due to circumstances out of our control stemming from complaints filed against Impact Fitness with the Illinois AG office for violations and anti-business practices of the city of Bradley…”-Charles Navarro

Iowa: After more than 1-hundred years (surviving The Great depression and numerous recessions) Kingston Hill old folks home shutting down in May, administrators say that after all this time ObamaCare reimbursement reductions render Kingston Hill  “financial unsustainable”.

Maryland: Meritus Health shutting down their 30 years old Hagerstown child Learning Center in June. 125 children affected.  Local news did not indicate a reason saying only that the decision to shut it down was made suddenly.

Massachusetts: Non-profit Mayo Clinic shutting down its 20 years old Andover lab, 105 jobs lost by the end of 2016!  Work is being shifted to labs in Minnesota.  Without warning audio equipment maker Bose began layoffs at their Framingham call center.  Local news reports say Bose administrators claim it’s because more customers are using the internet to complain rather than the phone, but employees revealed that at least 2-hundred call center jobs are actually being offshored: “They have the Philippines up and running now. They will be letting more of the call center go in waves after May 6, as they bring more people online in the Philippines. They are sending our own people to train them, three months at a time.”-unnamed Bose employee

Minnesota: In Minneapolis, Maison Darras sandwich shop and the U.S. Postal Service extension office being forced to shutdown on Thursday, due to massive $20-million USD remodeling of Baker Center.  News reports say the sandwich and postal operations will not resume because the ‘Skyway’ is being eliminated by the remodel work.

Montana: In Great Falls, the Teton County Nursing Home shutting down in May, 34 jobs lost.  ObamaCare reimbursement reductions forced the county to beg the cash-strapped voters to approve a levy to fund the home, but it was rejected.

New York: Manhattan Beauty Supply shutting down at the end of April. No explanation, but locals who shop in that area lamented that most of the kitschy shops that lined the street in the 1990s are gone.   In Rochester, Corner Bakery Cafe suddenly shutdown after the owner posted a sign that said “will be closing early tonight.”  Local news reports blame it on property developers.   The Broome Developmental Center for disabled people shutting down on Thursday, 6-hundred jobs lost! Officially it’s blamed on federal rules changes and ObamaCare reduction in reimbursements, however, I should point out that last year at least one employee was arrested for sexually abusing the tenants.

North Dakota: Dickinson State University shutting down their Strom Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation due to the loss of $1-million USD in grants and taxpayer funding.

Oklahoma: Main stream news media is confused about unemployment data.  They know tens of thousands of Okies have been laid off due to the oil industry BS, but state unemployment numbers are showing unemployment going down.  Here’s what I’ve been saying for the past few years at the end of every Job Losses report; if an employee gets laid off but gets severance they are not counted as unemployed. The overwhelming majority of oil industry workers are getting severance, therefore their unemployment is not being counted!  While I don’t advocate for Donald Trump as president (he’s just a salesman, will say whatever he has-to to close the deal, then files bankruptcy, study his history) he’s correct when he estimates true unemployment around 50%!

Texas: In Dallas, after 16 years Monica’s Hallmark gift store shutting down.  More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high-tech for your demise; British empire United Kingdom based software solutions company (according to Bloomberg) nobody heard of, Mycom North America, revealed it suddenly shutdown their Dallas office, two weeks ago.  At least 22 jobs lost, no explanation.  British empire’s Too Big to Jail bank-investment company Barclays issued a shutdown WARN for their McKinney operations, 196 jobs lost by mid-May! British Petroleum (BP) issued three layoff WARNs, 5-hundred jobs in Houston and Coppell lost by the end of May! Rotary Drilling eliminating 65 jobs in Beasley by mid-May.  Boeing revealed it laid off 15 people in Houston.

Washington: After 39 years Kathy’s Studio of Dance shutting down: “This was a very difficult decision for me to make but the dance world is changing and I am no longer up for the challenge. I started my studio with the idea that anyone should be able to dance – no matter their size, talent or ability to pay…….This worked for many years but times have changed….”-Kathryn Lahey

27-28 March 2016: “tiny 4-inch fish” killing economy?

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed!

Employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance: “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment. It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”

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.”

False Flag: Egypt airliner hijacked by former U.S. university prof(?) with a bomb, all Egyptians released! Americans & Brits hostages!

29 March 2016 (01:35 UTC-07 Tango 01) 10 Farvardin 1395/19 Jumada t-Tania 1437/21 Xin Mao 4714

Cypriot President says hijacker is not a terrorist, but a love struck idiot!

Local newspaper reports say the hijacker is a former professor who once taught at the University of Atlanta, in the U.S. state of Georgia. Egyptian reports say the hijacker is 27 or 28 years old, however, pics posted on social media show a man who is obviously in his 50s or 60s!

An Egyptian airliner (EgyptAir MS181) was hijacked and forced to land on the island country of Cyprus.  Unconfirmed reports say a single man with a bomb strapped to him managed to get on the plane in Alexandria, Egypt.  Egyptian aviation administrators say that claim came from the pilot of the plane.  The hijacker wanted to go to NATO member Turkey but the pilot convinced him there wasn’t enough fuel. The flight was a domestic flight, not international.

Since landing in Cyprus supposedly all Egyptians on the plane (the majority of the passengers) were allowed to leave. Passengers of United States and United Kingdom are still on board, along with all the crew.   Negotiations have been ongoing, it’s now revealed the hijacker is demanding political asylum and also wants a message delivered to his ex-wife, who is Cypriot.  Some unconfirmed reports say police doubt if the hijacker has a bomb.

Viva la liberación! UN rules Falklands belong to Argentina, not the British empire!

“We’re reaffirming our sovereignty rights over the resources from our continental shelf, minerals, hydrocarbons and sedentary species. I sincerely believe that is a very significant foreign policy achievement of Argentina.”-Susana Malcorra, Foreign Minister of Argentina

It’s been revealed that quietly at the beginning of March the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf voted unanimously to return the oil rich Malvinas (Falkland Islands) to Argentina!

In 1982 the U.S. backed junta of Argentina lost a war to take the islands by force.  The arrogant U.S. backed generals actually thought that once they had occupied the islands that the British empire wouldn’t attempt to re-capture them, so the arrogant genocidal generals made no attempt to prepare for such a thing.

The United Nations ruling increased Argentinian territory by 35%, inline with current UN rules.  So far no comment from the British empire, but in January the Queen’s puppet regime leader David Cameron stated the Falklands will “remain British.”  Of course that’s because a British oil company discovered vast new oil reserves in the area.

Operation Jupiter False Flag: Apocalyptic Aum Shinrikyo back from the dead! As illegal immigrants they’re appearing all over the world!

28 March 2016 /23:19 UTC-07 Tango 01 (10 Farvardin 1395/19 Jumada t-Tania 1437/21 Xin Mao 4714)

Last year I implicated the U.S. Department of Defense’s JUPITR ATD anthrax scandal as possibly including the terror group known as Aum Shinrikyo (the ones who launched a chemical weapons attack in a Tokyo subway in 1995)!

Since I wrote that article Aum Shinrikyo has grown even stronger with a fast spreading global membership. Last year Japan’s Public Security Examination Commission claimed they had Aum Shinrikyo sub-groups Aleph and Hikari no Wa under surveillance, however, that surveillance failed to show the rapid spread of the terror cult from Japan to Russia to eastern Europe.

Aum Shinrikyo is considered a terrorist group in Russia and therefore banned.  Russian police have discovered numerous Aum Shinrikyo cells operating as spiritual-yoga self help centers (usually using just the word Aum [meaning Om, or divine sound of creation], there are such Aum meditation groups currently in the U.S.).  Russia shutdown one such operation in Moscow last October.  Then on 25 March 2016, police in Montenegro captured 59 cultists in the capital of Podgorica and the city of Danilovgrad.

They entered Montenegro illegally and most are from Russia, four are from Japan. They’re supposed to be deported to Russia and Japan tonight (Russia claims most already have self-deported after being released by the court).

The cultists rented the hotels all for themselves for ten days, and here’s the kicker; they demanded that all hotel employees leave! A Montenegrin newspaper says cult members swore that they are “tourists”.   None of them had required documentation for cross-border travel.   My research turned up information that revealed that those hotels have been used in the past for Aum mediation retreats, but apparently they’ve never before shutdown an entire hotel and ordered the employees to leave.

Court proceedings revealed the cult had already been in Montenegro for ten days before the police were notified (apparently by pissed off hotel employees). Police said they found the cultists “performing rituals”, and they confiscated their cell phones and laptops.   Police also stated that the cultists have what appear to be wounds to their necks and other extremities that might be the result of the ‘rituals’.

Montenegro’s court ordered the deportation, instead of further prosecution, because there was no evidence that the arrested cultists were connected to the 1995 sarin gas attack in Tokyo, that left at least 12 dead and more than 50 permanently wounded.

Court acquits Kikuchi of 1995 Aum bombing

Council on Foreign Relations: Aum Shinrikyo “As early as five years before the March 1995 subway attack, the group attempted to carry out at least nine biological assaults…”

“tiny 4-inch fish” killing Wisconsin economy? ‘Christian’ school closed for breaking kid’s bones! : U.S. Job Losses & Closings 27 – 28 March 2016

Incomplete list of job loss announcements and shutdowns.

California:  New York based Corning issued a shutdown WARN for their Axygen Scientific Union City operations, 193 jobs lost by November!  More proof you brick-n-mortar store owners can’t directly blame the internet/high-tech for your demise; in Aliso Viejo, video game maker Carbine Studios laying off 18 people in May.  And video game maker NC Interactive (NCsoft) already laid off 11 people.  Evil student loan debt collector Collection Tech shutting down their Monterey Park location and eliminating jobs in Rancho Cucamonga, 55 jobs gone by mid-May.  In Santa Monica, GMRI shutting down their Seasons 52 restaurant next month, 70 jobs lost.  The Yamashiro restaurant in Los Angeles shutting down by the end of May, 88 jobs lost.  In Camarillo, Alma Farms finally issued an official WARN revealing they shutdown back on 01 January, 73 jobs lost. Retailer Williams-Sonoma issued layoff WARNs for several Golden State locations, 77 jobs lost by mid-May.  Georgia-Pacific shutting down their San Leandro operations, 65 jobs gone by mid-May.

Connecticut:  The state Department of Administrative Services revealed that the average state employee has 177 hours of unused paid vacation time, money that will be owed them when the Malloy regime lays them off.  The Malloy regime is now working to find a ‘legal’ way to steal that vacation pay from the employees they want to layoff.  (and he’s considered Obama’s favorite governor! more reason to stop saving up your paid vacation days!)

Florida: In Tampa, Zenith Education revealed they laid off 123 people, last week! It’s part of their plan to consolidate operations.  It should be noted that Zenith Education Group was created in 2015 as a non-profit to accept students from the criminal and now defunct Corinthian Colleges, yet Zenith began laying off employees in the same year they were created!

Idaho: More fraud in The Gem State; a waiter at a restaurant (mostly likely a Christian going by U.S. Census Bureau data) in Ammon stole a customer’s credit card and went shopping at the Idaho Falls Home Depot.  It happened last month, the waiter managed to buy $740 USD worth of home improvement items before Idaho Falls police caught up with him.

Massachusetts: In the state of Boston Weak; a school for disabled boys was shutdown after the ‘christian’ (the school hosts the traditional Great Barrington Christmas Party) employees were arrested for abusing those students, and even threatening witnesses.  Eagleton School also had a contract with the state of Vermont, which is now scrambling to find a new school.  One student had his sternum broken: “Eagleton staff continue to place residents at risk by utilizing physical force and unwarranted restraint techniques to control emotionally and mentally disabled individuals.”-Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care

Michigan: In Saint Clair, after eight years Sweet Pea’s Yarn & Gifts shutting down: “There was a combination of factors, sales were down last year, but mostly, we’ve had a lot of family illness….”-Patty Armstrong

New York:  Macy’s shutdown three stores in the Eastern Hills Mall and McKinley Mall, 160 jobs lost!  Local news reports say only a dozen employees transferred to other Macy stores.  In Buffalo, after three years Butterwood Sweet & Savory restaurant suddenly shutdown and will be auctioned off in April.

Pennsylvania: In Philadelphia, after three years Fireside Camp Supply shutting down their brick-n-mortar store after 01 April, they’re shifting to internet sales only.

Texas: The remaining four franchised Blockbuster video stores in El Paso shutting down after 02 April: “We opened our first El Paso stores back in 1992. It’s been a great run, but over the past few years more and more people have changed how they watch movies.”-Alan Payne, owner

Virginia:  Washington County Adult Skill Center shutting down in June, people needing job training will have to go to Virginia Highlands Community College.  It was revealed that the plans to shutdown the skill center began seven years ago.  Due to increasing numbers of people losing their jobs the skill center was overwhelmed and needed larger facilities.

Wisconsin: The Menasha lock being shutdown permanently to prevent the spread of invasive species, local business owners say blocking ship traffic will force them to shutdown: “This is huge to have something like this happen. We’ve had a locks system since 1855 or somewhere around there, and it’s never been anything like this. Who would ever think a tiny 4-inch fish would do it?”-Diane Schabach, Menasha’s harbor master

Proof contractors are corrupt: China to eliminate military contractors by 2019!

27 March 2016 /20:40 UTC-07 Tango 01 (09 Farvardin 1395/18 Jumada t-Tania 1437/20 Xin Mao 4714)

“Paid services can sometimes encourage corruption and the military should focus on national defense. The announcement also aims to improve the military’s combat capability.”-Gong Fangbin, People’s Liberation Army National Defense University

China’s Central Military Commission revealed plants eliminate military contractors, in a bid to reduce corruption.  That’s according to news reports citing a leaked document.

Last year President Xi Jinping announced plans to greatly reduce the size of the military in an attempt to reduce government tax spending.  The Central Military Commission called their plan to halt the use of contracts (called ‘paid services’ in China) “an important political task” as it was seen as a major cause of “corruption”.

Eco Friendly, Economic Collapse or Martial Law? UK forcing people to walk or bike, Olympic cyclist says it’s a sham!

“Realizing our ambition will take sustained investment in cycling and walking infrastructure. Delivering this long term plan will require patience, persistence and a change in attitudes, amongst government, local bodies, businesses, communities and individuals.”-Robert Goodwill, Minister of Transport

The British empire’s United Kingdom Department for Transport revealed plans to force the majority of ‘subjects’ to walk or cycle everywhere they go, by 2040.

An unnamed Transport employee said the plan to force people to walk or bicycle against their will “…will be met through providing safe and attractive infrastructure to encourage journeys on bike and foot. By 2040, walking and cycling should be a normal part of everyday life, and the natural choice for shorter journeys such as going to school, college or work, traveling to the station, and for simple enjoyment. We want everyone in the country to have access to safe, attractive routes for cycling and walking.”

Taxpayers and donors are expected to fork over the equivalent of at least $350-million USD to pay for brainwashing elementary school children, to convert roads to bicycle only, or add bike lanes to roads that have none.

The policy advisor to British Cycling (and former Olympic champion) Chris Boardman called the Draft cycling and walking investment strategy an “embarrassment”.   But not because he doesn’t think it won’t work, but because he thinks the government should rape the citizens for even more money: “The truth is that without sustained funding, this strategy won’t be worth the paper it’s written on.”

God is Evil: Israel sneaks in ‘white’ Indian Jews while kicking out ‘black’ Ethiopian Jews!

27 March 2016 (03:06 UTC-07 Tango 01) 08 Farvardin 1395/17 Jumada t-Tania 1437/19 Xin Mao 4714

“While the Ethiopian Jews are being left behind, quietly and secretly hundreds of members of the Bnei Menashe community, who identify as descendants of one of the 10 lost tribes, are being brought over……being brought over with urgency….this is happening away from the public eye.”-Ksenia Svetlova, Knesset member

An Israeli politician has revealed a conspiracy to eliminate ‘black’ Jews and replace them with ‘white’ jews!

Knesset member Ksenia Svetlova says her government has made a secret plan to import 7-hundred Jews from India and place them into stolen Palestinian homes.  At the same time the Israeli government continues to beat, deport and even genocide Jews from Ethiopia!  Think about that, ‘white’ Jews committing genocide against ‘black’ Jews!

“We are living in the days of aliyah! We are witnessing the return of the Bnei Menashe after 2,700 years of exile. You and I may not look alike, but we both share a Jewish soul, and that is what unites us. You are my family, I am your family, and together, with God’s help, soon we will march back to Zion. [unless they’re ‘black’]“-Michael Freund, leader of Operation Menashe

The plan to sneak in hundreds of Indian Jews is being led by U.S. born Michael Freund. It’s part of a greater plan called Operation Menashe, and Freund’s Shavei Israel organization, meant to bring the Jews home to Israel (unless they’re ‘black’).   Guess what, there was another Michael Freund, he worked as a propaganda writer for Nazi Germany!

Connecticut: Gov’na Malloy shutting down two nursing homes,  Ella T. Grasso Center and the Meriden Center, 171 jobs lost by June!  At least 40 aging and disabled residents kicked to the curb!  Gov’na Malloy claims the shutdowns will actually help the state ‘care’ for more people!

Florida: In Gulf Breeze, God powerless to stop the shutdown of ‘his’ more than 60 years old WaterFront Rescue Mission for women, and consolidate ‘his’ men’s shelters, and sell off ‘his’ Olive Road Career Development Center and lay off 20 paid staff.  The homeless shelter funded itself mainly with recycling projects, but because of the crash in prices of recycled goods they’re now broke: “We’ve been in the business of trying to help people, so we have given away every dollar.”-Devin Simmons

“Yeshua [Jesus of Nazareth] said to him, ‘Foxes have lairs and birds of the sky have shelters, but The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’”-Matthew 8:20, Aramaic Bible

It’s blamed on the recent Sports Authority bankruptcy, a corporate rep said they cannot pay the rent.

Indiana: Indianapolis based sports shoe store Finish Line revealed it has shutdown 54 stores and will continue until they’ve shuttered 150 stores across the U.S.! It’s because the athletic apparel industry expects the economy to get worse! Finish Line administrators also blame supply chain problems for its 3rd quarter loss of $21.8-million USD.

Virginia: Martin’s shutting down three grocery stores by Summer, they are not part of the shutdowns due to the merger of Giant Food and Food Lion, but are the result of a decision back in 2015.  Another ten Martin’s stores in Virginia will be sold off as part of the merger!  Hundreds of jobs lost! In Lynchburg, after two years art co-op 5th Street Art House shutting down, the owner is “moving on”.

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed!

Employees of religious non-profits might not qualify for unemployment assistance: “If the non-profit organization is a church, you may or may not be entitled to unemployment. It all depends upon state regulations for church employers. In many cases, churches are allowed to set their own rules regarding unemployment benefits, meaning the church can choose whether to offer benefits to former employees.”

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.”
