Corporate Incompetence or Evil? Investigation into Bile duct cancer spreads from Printing industry to Semiconductors and Metal industries. U.S. workers suffering same cancer!

“The research conducted in the United States shows that the hazardous nature of dichloromethane had been pointed out some time ago. The warning of the health hazard to humans was issued more than 20 years ago!“-Shinji Kumagai, University of Occupational and Environmental Health

Back at the end of June 2012, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare announced an investigation into the high rate of bile duct cancer among workers in the printing industry.  Now, they are warning the semiconductor and metals industries they will be investigated as well.

The common factor is a cleaning chemical called dichloromethane (aka methylene chloride).  “Dichloromethane is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.”-Report on Carcinogens, Twelfth Edition (2011)

According to a study by University of Occupational and Environmental Health, cancer rates among printing industry employees is 600 times higher than than the average Japanese man who dies from bile duct cancer!

The identification of dichloromethane, and other cleaning solvents, is leading investigators to look at other industries that also use those chemicals.

Japanese doctors will now question people who get bile duct cancer (or related cancers), as to what industry they work in.  Health officials are concerned that industries are not taking the proper precautions, such as proper ventilation of work place.

On 10 July 2012, a report by The Mainichi revealed that workers in certain U.S. industries suffer high rates of cancer.  The thing is the study was released back in 1990, not in U.S. publications but in a European magazine!  (Mortality update of cellulose fiber production workers)

U.S. health researchers studied 1,271 people who worked at a factory in South Carolina between 1954 and 1977.  Workers had developed liver cancer, from cancerous bile duct cells.  The mortality rate was 20 times higher than the U.S. average! The main culprit;  dichloromethane!

When Japanese health researchers read the study, more than a decade later, they decided to investigate Japanese industries. It was that initial study that revealed the outrageously high cancer rates of printing industry workers!

World War 3: U.S. & Israel plotting for demise of Syrian government, Israel threatens war, Israeli defense boss warns it could be the wrong move!

Israeli officials confirmed that U.S. envoys are working with their Israeli counterparts to come up with a plan to manage a Syrian government collapse.

War Pig Israeli Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said that if Syrian WMDs make it out of the country “We will act decisively and without hesitation or restraint.”

The Syrian government recently said that if they are attacked by other countries they will use their WMDs for self defense.  That has Israelis panicking, because their own politicians have been threatening to attack Syria.

On 23 July 2012, 3,700 gas masks were requested by Israeli citizens: “There’s a smell of chemical weapons in the air, the sense that a war could be triggered.”-Maya Knobler, in Mevasseret Zion

Israeli officials say they are monitoring the WMDs of Syria: “At the moment, the entire non-conventional weapons system is under the full control of the regime.”-Amos Gilad, adviser to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak

However, IDF Lieutenant General Benny Gantz, warns that any attack by Israel against Syria could backfire, leading to “…a broader offensive than we planned.”

In a round-a-bout way, Gantz is saying the Israel Defense Forces are not prepared to handle a full blown regional war, of course that’s why the U.S. envoys are in Israel, now, helping to make bigger plans!

Government Evil: U.S. Consumers who use Cash make F-B-I list of Terrorists! Working for cash in the U.K. is a crime?

“These kinds of schemes are where we are focusing our efforts, and they are all, to borrow a phrase from the chancellor, ‘morally repugnant’. These schemes damage our ability to fund public services and provide support to those who need it. They harm businesses by distorting competition. They damage public confidence. And they undermine the actions of the vast majority of taxpayers, who pay more in tax as a consequence of others enjoying a free ride.”–David Gauke, ass hole British exchequer secretary to the Treasury, referring to people who get paid in cash!

At the beginning of this year the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released Community Against Terrorism (CAT) warning signs, which include people who “Use cash for large transactions”!  But did you know that in the United Kingdom you can go to prison for being paid with cash!

Of course people who don’t report their cash earnings when they file their tax paperwork can end up spending time in prison, but, why are governments so focused on the small fry individual, who might owe hundreds to thousands in taxes, when a tiny minority of elites have gotten away with a combined total of USD $20-trillion in unreported income/revenues?!

Just last week, the U.K. government sent a plumbing company owner to prison for not paying USD $77-thousand in taxes.  Here’s the thing, British government officials claim they’re owed about USD $54-billion in unpaid taxes every year, but according to the latest study by the British government established Tax Justice Network, the big tax evaders are not the individuals getting paid in cash, but they are the teeny tiny minority of elites that sucked off USD $20-trillion from the western economies in the past few years!

Why don’t the elected and appointed officials get some balls and go after those elitist economic terrorists?!  At least those individuals who are being paid in cash are spending the money, keeping the Circular Money Flow of the economy going! The elites are money vampires sucking it out of the Circular Money Flow system, crashing the economy!

By the way I’m amazed how many people in the United States still can’t believe that the FBI (under orders from Homeland Security) considers the use of cash an act of terrorism, but just go to this link and read the FBI CAT lists for yourself.

Long ago cash became king, and barter became the enemy. Anyone entering a city to do business had to first do business with money changers, to acquire the authorized cash for that specific city state.  Now credit is king, and cash is the enemy. If you want to continue doing business in the new world order then you have to give up the cash ghost: “…and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”–Revelation 13:17, Young’s Literal Translation

Evil Elites: $20 trillion stolen away and hoarded by Global Elites, that’s why the economy sucks! Money hoarding causes poverty, destroys economies, is a threat to National Security!!! Too Big to Fails & LIBOR involved!

“These estimates reveal a staggering failure: inequality is much, much worse than official statistics show, but politicians are still relying on trickle down to transfer wealth to poorer people. People on the street have no illusions about how unfair the situation has become.”-John Christensen, Tax Justice Network

According to a recent report by the Tax Justice Network (established by the British Houses of Parliament in 2003), the reason for the lack of money in the failing western economies, is that the elites are hording it, to the tune of $12.5 trillion to $20 trillion USD (that’s according to data from the world’s top 50 banks)!!!

Wealth is finite, there is not enough for everyone, money does not grow on trees!  But, the only way an economy works well is if that money/wealth is in circulation, being spent to buy services and products. That’s why some incompetent economists and analysts have been lambasting the working class consumers for not spending more money.

Most working class consumers are broke, they operate on credit/debt if they still have it, and more and more the governments of the United States and United Kingdom are criminalizing the use of cash (which most people don’t have much of anyway).

Most U.S. corporations are broke, they’ve been operating on debt.  They even pay their employees with payroll loans from the Too Big to Fail banks!  Governments are broke, cutting services and raising tax rates in the hopes they can squeeze more out of the working class! So where is the money?

Between 2005 and 2010, the elites managed to hide away, in plain sight using the help of the Too Big to Fails, trillions in untaxed revenues using offshore accounts, and other tricks, by the top 50 international banks.

Notice this is during the same time period of the Credit Crisis/Crunch, and first recessions of the U.S. and Europe! This is evidence that the credit crisis is really  caused by elites siphoning as much as $20 trillion out of the Circular Money Flow, with the effect of literally hitting the brakes on the western economies!

This should be considered a National Security Threat!  The elites are economic terrorists!

The Tax Justice Network explains how the elites get away with their cash hording.   This latest report suggests that the true percentage of world elites is only 0.001%!!!

Here’s a list of the top 10 banks involved, see if you recognize any: UBS, Credit Suisse, HSBC, Deutche Bank, BNP Paribas, JP MorganChase, Morgan Stanely/SSB, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Pitchet.

Note that these banks are also being investigated for the international currency/interest rate fixing scandal involving LIBOR, TIBOR and EURIBOR!

It’s time the people of the western economies stand up and demand their crony capitalist lap dog politicians, and their crony capitalists leaders to “Show us the money!!!”

World War 3: Iraqi leader defies U.S. & Arab League, says stay out of Syria!

“If the Arab nations who met in Doha were honest about wanting to stop the bloodshed, they would have stopped supplying arms…All their statements are hypocritical.”-Jihad Makdissi, spokesman for Syria’s Foreign Ministry

“This call is not appropriate at this time because it is interfering in the sovereignty of another country.”-Labid Abbawi, Deputy Foreign Minister of Iraq

23 July 2012, Iraqi leaders are denouncing the Arab League’s call to support the Free Syrian Army, create a de facto government supported by outsiders, and offer of a “safe exit” for President Bashar al-Assad.

Iraqi officials say the issue is “…the sole responsibility of the Syrian people” and everyone else should butt out!

23 July 2012, Yemen security officials say they’ve diffused a bomb at their intelligence headquarters.  This comes a day after unconfirmed reports said a Saudi Arabian deputy intelligence official was assassinated by an explosion at their intelligence HQ in Riyadh.

Yemen shares a border with Saudi Arabia, and the Yemen government is supported by the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

On 22 July, a Yemeni air force commander was attacked. His convoy was bombed, he survived.  Security officials say they have information indicating that rebels are now focusing on attacking senior military leaders and intelligence operatives.

Evil Elites: Check the facts, fithly rich are NOT the ones creating new jobs!

Right wing pro-unAmerican Corporate America supporters are spouting off that the evil elites are the ones we should thank for job creation.

Fact: According to the Congressional Research Service’s report titled Small Business and the Expiration of the 2001 Tax Rate Reductions: Economic Issues, cutting taxes would have little affect on job creation. Here’s why; business owners already deduct their employees’ wages off their company’s tax filings!

Fact: According to the Congressional Research Service, there is no evidence that tax breaks results in increased investment into businesses!

Fact: Traditionally, in a bad economy the main reason for reduced employment is that business revenues are down, due to reduced spending by consumers.  Reduced revenue means less taxes businesses have to pay anyway (why do you think local governments are going bust?)! Tax breaks to rich business owners do not solve that problem!

Fact: Recently the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities issued a report which showed that tax breaks to rich business owners has a net effect of…nothing!  In the extreme short term jobs might be created, or working hours lengthened, but in the longer run the rich business owners cut back so much they cancel out any employment increases made in the short run!!!

Fact: Studies show that the businesses creating the most new jobs are new small businesses. But the overwhelming majority of filthy rich are not involved in new small businesses, so why give the elites more tax breaks?  According to the U.S. Treasury (Department of the Treasury, Office of Tax Analysis Methodology to Identify Small Businesses and their Owners, Technical Paper 4, August 2011), only 7.6% of elites get their income from small business operations, and only 5.6% of those actually have employees!!!

Evil Elites: Check the facts, high taxes on the rich do NOT hurt small businesses!

Right wing pro-unAmerican Corporate America supporters are spouting off that raising taxes on the elites will hurt small business owners.

Fact: The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s own data (August 2011 technical paper titled Methodology to Identify Small Businesses and their Owners) shows that increasing taxes on the filthy rich will affect only 2.5% of small businesses!

Fact: According to the Small Business Administration, the reason is that about 21 million small businesses are “mom & pop” operations, meaning they have little to no employees (they are operated by the owners themselves), and the average yearly revenue is only $45,000!

Something else, the SBA says the overwhelming majority of U.S. businesses are “small businesses”, employing more than half the U.S. work force.  However, the SBA also points out that the survival rate is not good, with only 25% lasting 15 years or more.  Interestingly the SBA says the survival rate for the big corporations is almost the same!

What this tells me is that tax breaks for businesses, or the filthy rich, are not helping businesses to survive long term (20 years is long term).

World War 3: Syrian government warns of clone TV news reports. Arab League tries to shut down Syrian TV, same thing happened in Libya!

22 July 2012, Syria’s Information Ministry claims that U.S., European, Arab and Israeli agencies are cloning Syrian TV stations, for the purpose of presenting false news reports.

Syrian officials say already one TV station has been cloned, right down to the TV station’s logo and patriotic music.

The Arab League has repeatedly asked Arab satellite TV service providers to stop airing Syrian programs.  The Arab League managed to cut off Libyan TV shortly before U.S./European backed rebels murdered Gaddafi.

World War 3: Saudi Arabian intelligence official assassinated

22 July 2012, unconfirmed reports say an explosion hit the intelligence service headquarters of Saudi Arabia, killing one official.

It happened when the newly appointed intelligence boss, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, was entering the building in Riyadh. His deputy was killed.

Prince Sultan, longtime envoy to the United States (1983-2005), is considered a puppet of the U.S.: “…..is among the people who best understood U.S. policies and managed to deal well with the decision-makers.”-Anwar Eshki, Middle East Center for Strategic and Legal Studies
