False Flag: French evacuations began hours before terrorist attacks! How did so many people get so many guns in anti-gun country?

14 November 2015 (20:33 UTC-07 Tango 01, 13 November 2015)/23 Aban 1394/01 Safar 1437/03 Ding-Hai (10th month) 4713

160 people killed, 200+ wounded.  1,500 French soldier patrolling the streets of Paris.

Live news reports say the German foosball team was evacuated from their Paris hotel “just hours” before the terrorist attacks began. Die Mannschaft team members revealed the evacuations on social media.  Despite being evacuated from their hotel they were told to go ahead and play their scheduled soccer match.   In video of the game you can hear explosions in the background.  There are reports that French police evacuated several other Parisian locations before the attacks began.

In a possible retaliation, a refugee camp in Calais was set on fire, so far no reports of any refugees hurt.  The entire country of France is locked down (state of emergency/martial law), the borders are closed for the first time since World War 2 (more than 70 years ago).

One reporter asked the question how could so many guns and explosives get into the hands of so many people in a country that has such strict ant-weapons laws?

One analysts stated that he fears that ‘western’ U.S.-led NATO will use this as an excuse to declare war on Syria, even though the Syrian government itself is fighting the same terrorists within its borders.

Anti-gun laws fail to stop record gun sales, blame illegal immigrants!

“The ICC therefore has jurisdiction over Rome Statute crimes committed on the territory of Afghanistan…..

…the Office has found that the information available provides a reasonable basis to believe that crimes under articles 7 and 8 of the Statute have been committed in the situation in Afghanistan, including crimes against humanity of murder under article 7(1)(a), and imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty under article 7(1)(e); murder under article 8(2)(c)(i); cruel treatment under article 8(2)(c)(i); outrages upon personal dignity under article 8(2)(c)(ii); the passing of sentences and carrying out of executions without previous judgement pronounced by a regularly constituted court under article 8(2)(c)(iv); intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population or against individual civilians under article 8(2)(e)(i); intentionally directing attacks against personnel, material, units or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance under article 8(2)(e)(iii); intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to education, cultural objects, places of worship and similar institutions under article 8(2)(e)(iv); and treacherously killing or wounding a combatant adversary under article 8(2)(e)(ix).

…The information available suggests that victims [of the United States] were deliberately subjected to physical and psychological violence, and that crimes were allegedly committed with particular cruelty and in a manner that debased the basic human dignity of the victims. The infliction of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques,’ applied cumulatively and in combination with each other over a prolonged period of time, would have caused serious physical and psychological injury to the victims. Some victims reportedly exhibited psychological and behavioural issues, including hallucinations, paranoia, insomnia, and attempts at self-harm and self-mutilation.”–Report on Preliminary Examination Activities (2015), The Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court

Idaho: What housing market recovery?  Time for a reality check on misleading Idaho news reports about increased home loan applications.  The overwhelming majority of mortgage applications are concentrated in one county, Ada, which is home to The Gem State’s capitol Boise.  The further away you get from Ada County the more the number of applications crash and burn.  Only 8% of applications came from minorities who faced a 20% rejection rate (higher than non-minorities).  Many of the mortgage applications were for refinance of existing loans, or existing home improvement/repair projects, not for buying a home.  The Associated Press did not give a specific source for their info, vaguely referring to the “banks and mortgage companies” as their source.

Illinois:  In Winnetka, after 24 years O’Neil’s Restaurant shutting down by January 2016.  The owner is focusing on his other two restaurants because “We tried remodeling O’Neil’s and changing the menu but…it just ran out of gas.”

Dumbing Down Japan: ‘Secret’ order to eliminate ‘thinking’ classes revealed! “attempt by the government to produce people who accept what it does without criticism.”

08 November 2015 (09:57 UTC-07 Tango 01)/17 Aban 1394/25 Muharram 1437/27 Ding-Hai 4713

Back in June the U.S. backed neo-imperialist government of Japan ordered all 86 taxpayer funded universities to “abolish or convert” courses that are not considered useful to big corporations (using the the Orwellian doublespeak term “society’s needs” when they really meant big corporations’ needs).  Those course to be abolished involve literature, history, philosophy and social sciences.

There is growing protests over the order to dumb down Japan:

“Pursuing studies of humanities and social sciences may not produce quick economic results, but shunning them risks producing people who are only interested in the narrow fields……Studies of literature, history, philosophy and social sciences are indispensable in creating people who can view developments in society and politics with a critical eye….Shimomura’s [Hakubun Shimomura of Ministry of Education issued the order to abolish such courses] move may be interpreted as an attempt by the government to produce people who accept what it does without criticism.“-The Japan Times

“…there is a need for the natural sciences as well as the humanities and social sciences (HSS) to work closely together in order to….play a vital and unique role in critically comparing, contrasting and reflecting on the way in which human beings and society operate.”-The Science Council of Japan

“…abolishing subjects such as sociology and philosophy just because they are not useful in business is incredibly short-sighted….business and making money is not everything in a society….”-Makoto Watanabe, Hokkaido Bunkyo University

Even the federation of Japanese businesses known as Keidanren condemned the order to dumb down their employees, basically saying Japanese businesses need employees who can think for themselves.

Iran has imposed economic sanctions, or literally a blockade on any U.S. made products being imported into Iran!

No U.S. products for your market! On orders of your own government!

Amazingly this appears to be part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement concerning Iran’s nuclear power industry.  Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei recently stated that as part of the JCPoA with U.S., Europe, Russia and China, Iran is to promote a “resistance economy”, meaning retailers cannot sell anything made in the United States as the U.S. is still seen as the Great Satan (Great Obtruder).

You should realize that European companies are lined up out the door trying to get trade deals with Iran, because Iran is actually flush with cash (despite decades of U.S. sanctions).  So couple the fact that Iran is about to let the Europeans flood back in (such as allowing France base Peugeot-Citroën to join back up with Iran Khodro after pulling out in 2012 on orders of the U.S. General Motors, which was the major stockholder of the French company at the time)  while barring business to U.S. companies, and that Iranian oil production will skyrocket bringing oil prices down to around $20 USD per barrel possibly becoming the final nail in the coffin for U.S. and Saudi oil companies, and it’s starting to look like this whole nuclear thing was an elaborate plan to destroy the United States economically.

Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh based Warren Buffett & 3G Capital owned Kraft Heinz announced it will shutdown seven food factories in North America and kill off an additional 2-thousand 6-hundred jobs!  The factory shutdowns are apparently on top of the three New York factory shutdowns I reported on a few days ago.  The new shutdowns involve two factories in California, one in New York, one in Pennsylvania, one in Maryland, one in Wisconsin and one in the British empire country of Canada.  The 2-thousand 6-hundred jobs reported as being lost must be ‘low balled’ because news reports out of Wisconsin say the factory shutdown there will kill 1-thousand  2-hundred jobs!  Wisconsin based QuadGraphics shutting down their magazine/catalog factory in East Greenville, 4-hundred jobs lost by January 2016!

Virginia: In Henrico, after 182 years (surviving The Great Depression and numerous recessions) Blair’s Drug Store shutdown, blaming the skyrocketing costs of legal drugs for legal drug addicts: “Some drugs have increased 500 to 1,000% overnight!”-Berkley Rayfield, owner

Washington DC:  The U.S. Department of the Treasury revealed your dumb-ass ‘elected’ lawmakers just jacked up the National Debt by a record one day increase of $339.1 billion USD!  This is basically how much your government borrowed under a presidential executive order in order to prevent the total collapse, I mean shutdown of your exalted government!

Wisconsin: Local news reports say the Warren Buffett shutdown of the Kraft Heinz Oscar Mayer meat factory will kill 1-thousand 2-hundred jobs!  Doug Leikness, the president of the employees’ union, stated “We’re doing very well…..Didn`t see it coming. We`ve increased productivity in this plant. We`ve done it with less workers, and now we`re getting the carpet pulled from underneath us. We just feel a big sense of betrayal from this company.”  Mining equipment maker Joy Global announced they eliminated an additional 30 jobs on top of the 139 eliminations announced earlier in the month!  At this point the state of Wisconsin has lost more than 10-thousand jobs for 2015!

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed

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.”

Operation Jupiter: Are you a Super Carrier? MERS kills in Korea & KSA, again! Ebola warnings for Korea!

04 November 2015 (08:04 UTC-07 Tango 01)/13 Aban 1394/21 Muharram 1437/23 Ding-Hai 4713

The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) epidemic is not finished!  After three months of no significant cases of MERS a man in the Republic of Korea (RoK, aka south Korea) has died.

The 66 years old man got infected back in June, while at the Samsung Medical Center.  Health administrators declared him cured but he relapsed.  He’s not the only person declared cured and then relapsed, a 35 years old man who got infected in July has also relapsed.

44% of infections occurred in Korean hospitals.  33% of infected people were non-health care workers and 13% were healthcare workers.  Since May, 36 people in RoK have died from MERS.

RoK Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that the majority of the infections in their country were the result of people called Super Carriers.  Five people are identified as causing most of the 186 cases of MERS since May.

Also, on 02 November the Institut Pasteur Korea held a press conference warning of an ebola outbreak in RoK: “It is a question of time for Ebola reaching the Korean peninsula. Global warming [you see, it’s part of the ‘global warming’ conspiracy] significantly expands the territory of the fruit bat, the virus natural host, to the northern hemisphere. In addition, globalization, heavy air travel, will significantly increase the risks of emergent infectious diseases.”-Marc P. Windisch, Hepatitis Research Laboratory

In 2004 France based Institut Pasteur set up in RoK to “discover the biology for infectious diseases”.   But in the past few years has focused on MERS and Ebola, as part of a joint operation with the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).

In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA, considered ground zero for the MERS epidemic) the end of October saw 12 new cases and two deaths.  The majority of cases are also tied to infections while in hospital, specifically the Almana General Hospital in Hofuf.

In fact, four KSA hospitals have been identified as being spreaders of the disease.  The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy did not name the hospitals but did point out that the first hospital involved with MERS is KSA’s military hospital.   This is important as I’ve stated that Operation Jupiter is “A small part of a larger military operation spreading disease at a hospital near you!”

Back in August I also reported that “…a doctor with KSA’s National Guard says actual cases and deaths are much higher than what the government is reporting.  She should know because she works at the King Fahad National Guard Hospital in Riyadh where, apparently for some odd reason, MERS cases there are not being included in the official reports by the Ministry of Health.”   

The other three infected KSA hospitals involve two directly controlled by the Ministry of Health and one private hospital.

Since 2012, when MERS was first detected, 1,273 people in KSA became infected and 542 died.  So far for 2015 the MERS death rate in KSA is at 55%.
