Typhoon dumps nearly 10 inches of rain per hour, with winds over 100 mph, as it hits Japan

A powerful typhoon ripped into southern Japan on Sunday, Sept. 17, dumping torrential rain, grounding hundreds of domestic flights and halting train services.

Typhoon Talim made a landfall in Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands, packing winds of up to 162 km/h, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.

At least 644 domestic flights have been cancelled because of strong winds, according to public broadcaster NHK, while all major regional train services have been suspended, operator JR Kyushu Railway said.  Authorities have issued warnings of rainstorms, high seas, possible landslides and flooding across the southern half of the Japanese archipelago.

The meteorological agency said the typhoon was expected to head northwards, dumping heavy rain across a large area, including on Tokyo.  The typhoon had earlier battered the southern Okinawan island chain, dumping the most rain seen over a 24-hour period in 50 years on the city of Miyako, before it hit Kyushu.

Big storms regularly strike Japan, with 22 people killed when Typhoon Lionrock pounded the country last September.
Last month, Typhoon Noru killed two and injured 51.

 

Maximum sustained winds of 90 mph and 15-ft waves as Hurricane Jose strengthens to hit Jersey Shore and Long Island Tuesday

(International Hurricane Center)  Hurricane Jose strengthened Sunday as it churned its way north through the Atlantic Ocean as a Category 1 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 90 miles per hour.  Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for much of the Jersey Shore and Long Island as Hurricane Jose will make its closest pass to the Tri-State region late Tuesday into Wednesday.

The centre of Jose will stay offshore so the greatest impacts will be felt right along the coast with dangerous surf, strong rip currents, beach erosion and coastal flooding.  Wave heights can top out between 10 and 15 feet.  The strongest winds will be over eastern Long Island, with gusts up to 50mph.  Farther west, including the New York City area, winds can gust over 30mph at times late Tuesday into early Wednesday.

As far as timing, some of the outer rain bands from Jose could arrive late tomorrow night, but conditions will deteriorate more significantly on Tuesday as it becomes increasingly windy and rainy.  This will last through Tuesday night and perhaps into Wednesday, especially on Long Island.  Even as the storm departs later in the week, the ocean will remain rough with high surf and strong rip currents.

The storm was located about 355 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina Sunday and heading north at 9 mph.
The National Hurricane Center advised East Coast residents from North Carolina on up to monitor the storm’s progress.

The most likely of the computer models would put the storm at least 250 miles off the coast of the New York area.
The sustained winds increased Sunday morning, but Jose is still expected to gradually weaken as it pushes northward over the next few days into less favorable atmospheric conditions.  Jose is already producing dangerous surf for Bermuda, the Bahamas, parts of the Caribbean, and parts of the US East Coast.

While Jose is projected to weaken and veer away from any direct impact on the coast, the Hurricane Center said a minor shift could bring tropical-storm-force winds to North Carolina’s Outer Banks or areas to the north.  The storm formed Sept. 5 in the open Atlantic, brushed northeast Caribbean islands as a Category 4 hurricane and did a loop before tracking west again toward the U.S.

 

[Both of these reports were republished by The Big Wobble]

 

NORM ‘n’ AL Note:  There are two more hurricanes behind Jose which are now moving through the Caribbean toward the US; one of them, Maria, is projected to be a Cat. 5 storm by the time it reaches the US east coast.  Don’t know about you, but it sure seems to us that Almighty God wants to get our attention. There is a well-known Bible passage from 2nd Chronicles which reads “If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  (vv. 13 and 14)

Attacks on religious liberty in USA now proven to be increasing

The First Liberty Institute’s recently released annual Survey of Hostility to Religion in America report shows there has been a 15-percent increase in the number of cases across the U.S. just since its 2016 report.

The organization’s founder, Kelly Shackelford, writes the time for denial is past:

To deny that religious freedom is in crisis in America is to deny the obvious. And yet there are deniers. Ironically, they include those who launch the very attacks that have caused the crisis itself. The American people, however, deserve the truth …

After years of providing this research—widely cited in the media—we are now seeing confirmation from a growing number of sources and directions.

International Christian Concern (ICC), a respected global watchdog that monitors persecution, listed the United States for the first time in its annual “Hall of Shame” report in January 2017, noting America’s alarming rise in hostility toward Christians. Their report stated, “While there is no comparison between the life of a Christian in the U.S. with persecuted believers overseas, ICC sees these worrying trends as an alarming indication of a decline in religious liberty in the United States.”

The ICC report dovetails with findings published by noted sociologist Dr. George Yancey. He and his team did extensive and careful research into the roots of American hostility to religion. He found what he called widespread “irrational” animus toward traditional Christian beliefs among those with higher educational degrees and privileged positions in society.

In fact, Dr. Yancey found that those with the highest degree of animosity toward traditional religion were those with the most money, education, and power to turn that irrational animus into action in the legal arena.

In 2011, the first year for which First Liberty Institute reported on the subject, there were 600 documented cases of religious persecution in the U.S. The new report, which covers 2016, documents 1,400 cases—an increase of 133 percent in just five years.

Investigations into former FBI director James Comey, and into previous FBI director Robert Mueller (now the Special Counsel trying to take down President Trump) show astounding conflicts of interest

Investigations into the financial holdings of James B. Comey and former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller reveal astounding conflicts of interest. These relationships absolutely should have stopped them from being offered the top law enforcement job in the country.

Comey was the FBI director since 2013 when he replaced 12-year director Robert S. Mueller — who was chief counsel for London-based bank HSBC which was exposed in 2015 for sheltering $100 billion in client funds in murky offshore tax havens populated by drug dealers, money launderers, and arms traffickers.

Comey also served as chief counsel for Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world. In 2012, Comey’s Bridgewater salary was $6,632,616 just before taking over the helm at the FBI. In his first year at the FBI, he received another $3.3 million in Bridgewater severance cash outs. A year later, his net worth jumped up to $34 million. Comey also disclosed direct holdings in IBM Eclipse Foundation members: Verizon, Intel, Emerson Electric, Microsoft, Qualcomm, AT&T, Apple, HP, Morgan Stanley, Lockheed Martin, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, none of which has ever been disclosed or caused him to recuse himself in any legal matter.

Comey was a director of the London money launderer extraordinaire, HSBC. Even the Clinton Foundation website boasts about HSBC donations. This fact alone disqualifies Comey from involvement in any Hillary Clinton investigation.

Mueller held Defenders Multi-Strategy Hedge Fund LLC and Mellon Optima L/S Strategy Fund LLC. These “funds of funds” invest in other’s hedge funds. Mueller’s exclusive funds were not open to the public. The minimum investment in several of the funds of funds is $10,000,000. But as HSBC whistleblower Hervé Falciani revealed in 2015, many are secret havens for money laundering, arms trafficking, and tax evasion.

Both Mueller hedge funds were managed by Mellon Bank of New York (BNY). No less than ten (10) BNY directors were shared between Mueller’s Defenders and Mellon Optima funds. Tellingly, the FBI never prosecuted any of these BNY Ponzi schemers associated with Mueller’s defenders hedge fund or Comey’s actions with Bridgewater.

Even while U.S. Attorney in San Francisco, Mueller worked to cover-up the Oklahoma City bombing, Waco, and Ruby Ridge evidence by changing the rules of evidence so that the FBI and prosecution did not have to share as much evidence with defense attorneys in the cases as would have been required in the past. He changed the Brady rules of evidence in concert with the U.S. prosecutor Beth Wilkinson in the McVeigh and Nichols case who had assumed a position in the same department at Department of Justice that Mueller had worked earlier.

Mueller was brought into D.C. to head the transition team for Ashcroft, whereupon he proceeded to steer Ashcroft through the cover-ups by FBI and DOJ on the Oklahoma City bombing case. Mueller did such a superb job that Ashcroft personally nominated Mueller to Bush for FBI director to help perpetuate the FBI and DOJ cover-ups of Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the Oklahoma City bombing.

Mueller was also involved in covering up the Noriega, BCCI, and BNL banking scandals of Bush Senior. Mueller worked closely at several points with Larry Potts, the former Deputy Director of the FBI, who was kicked out of the FBI for lying about the FBI having Vickie Weaver murdered.

Congress investigated Mueller’s and the FBI’s handling of memos from FBI agents Coleen Rowley and Ken Williams before the 9/11 attacks about the Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda connections to hijacker pilots training in the U.S.  Mueller’s ties to the Saudis and BCCI are especially troubling because the FBI had been ordered not to investigate Saudi businessmen, Saudi Royals, and government officials that had been backing Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Bin Laden in their efforts to attack the U.S.

Mueller was Acting Deputy Director of the DOJ from January through May, went home for a month, and was then nominated to head the FBI. The Judiciary Committee and the Senate acted on Mueller’s nomination and within 2 weeks he was confirmed, but then it took over a month to swear him in as FBI director, just in time for the 9/11 attacks creating plausible deniability for the new director.

Comey’s FBI and Lynch’s Justice Department always stubbornly refused to prosecute heinous criminal acts of the Obama Administration. America, and especially Washington D. C., has become LAWLESS.  Comey is the King of Lawlessness in America.  Here is a short list of unprosecuted crimes that Comey ignores or outright supports.

• Hillary Clinton Benghazi gun running
• Ambassador Steven’s death
• Eric Holder’s Fast and Furious gun running
• Hillary’s private server espionage and treason
• Bush and Clinton bank bailouts
• Bombing seven sovereign nations without congressional approval
• Obama’s IBM Eclipse Foundation’s social networking patent theft
• James Clapper’s illegal NSA/CIA/FBI surveillance and his perjury before Congress
• Obama’s energy company subsidies
• Obama’s misuse of banker fines to support liberal activist groups
• Obama’s theft of Fannie May and Freddie Mac
• Obama’s IRS targeting of conservatives
• Obama and Clinton’s confiscations from the Bureau of Land Management
• Planned Parenthood eugenics and baby parts trafficking
• Gold, silver, and LIBOR rate rigging
• Ignoring “missing person” reports and supporting human trafficking
• Clinton Foundation theft of $2 billion under the guise of a Presidential Library fund
• Hillary taking money from foreign nations while Secretary of State
• Maintaining open borders and sanctuary cities
• Refugee trafficking and fraud
• Allowing overstayed visas of more than one million people
• Non-enforcement of existing immigration laws

It would take too much time and too many pages to make a complete listing of the Comey crimes that are well known. The scarier fact is that this list of 18 crimes is only the tip of the iceberg. These are just the crimes that are internet-available, and Comey is great at hiding details. Several of these crimes are some of the largest rip-offs of the America people in U.S. history.

It is well known is D.C. circles that Lockheed Martin is the military’s place to launder money for the Department of Defense and the CIA. Some say the missing $6 -10 trillion dollars from Pentagon accounting is shuffled through Lockheed Martin which can simply keep false inventories of fighter jets and hide hundreds of millions at the time. Just count the number of planes the government pays for, and then count the number delivered, and you will find the missing money. Each B-2 bomber cost $2 billion.

This list of Comey’s crimes ranges from “fixing” D.C. insider law suits to defending the biggest criminals in the world – the rogue CIA bankers who use HSBC and many other “CIA gold-backed banks” to conduct the business of the “company.”  The “company” is the inside name for the CIA whose job it is to maintain a destabilized geopolitical atmosphere where warlord bankers and brokers make huge profits from war-mongering.

Comey’s actions show that he is not an honest U.S. citizen. His actions are those of a traitor whose treasonous actions against the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, and the U.S. Bill of Rights must be acknowledged and brought to justice. Comey belongs behind bars as you can see by the crimes shown below.

Patent Theft and Insider Trading.  Comey was general counsel at Lockheed Martin and is an active IBM Eclipse member. Comey and Lockheed were complicit in the patent theft of social networking and later using insider trading information to manipulate stocks.

Fixing Hillary Clinton’s Email Espionage.  In fact, the email server “probe” marked the third time Comey has investigated Bill or Hillary Clinton and found them innocent even before a formal investigation was conducted.

Fixing Clinton Whitewater Investigation.  In the mid-1990s, Comey joined the Senate Whitewater Committee as a deputy special counsel to investigate allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to an Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton thanks to Comey.

Fixed the Pardon of Robert Palmer.  In his last days in office, Bill Clinton pardoned 450 people. One of those pardoned was Robert Palmer who pleaded guilty for his part in the Clinton’s “Whitewater” scandal.

Fixed the Pardon of Marc Rich.  Marc Rich fled the U.S. to Switzerland to evade $100’s of millions in taxes on his commodity trading profits.  Rich’s ex-wife Denise made donations to the Democratic Party, the Clinton Library and Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign as part of a plan to get Rich off the hook.

Failed to Recuse Himself.  Comey himself had overseen Rich’s prosecution between 1987 and 1993 so he should have recused himself from an investigation of Rich or Clinton.

Fixed Hillary’s Vote Rigging.  In 2002, Comey was the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York and was investigating a case involving the Clintons and suddenly, with very little explanation, closed the case. The case was concerning the infamous New Square Four, who were convicted of bilking the government out of tens of millions of dollars.

Fixed Clinton’s “Donations for Pardons.”  Comey oversaw the criminal investigation into the 176 last minute pardons that Bill Clinton made on his last day in office. Many of the pardon recipients, including Rich, had donated to Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign and to Bill Clinton’s presidential library. Comey found no criminal wrongdoing.

False Accusations about Khobar Towers Bombing.  Comey lead the team of investigators who determined that Iran had bombed the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia.  Later it was found that Al-Qaeda was responsible. This false accusation was much in line with Mueller’s false accusation that Al-Qaeda was responsible for the 911 attacks.

Fixing Clinton’s Part in 9/11.  In 2004, Comey as Attorney General of the Justice Department limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger, which left out former Clinton administration officials who may have coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives. The documents were relevant to accusations that the Clinton administration was negligent in the build-up to the 9/11 terrorist attack.

Fixed the Sandy Berger Theft.  As Deputy Attorney General, Comey was involved in the investigation of Sandy Berger who removed classified documents from the National Archives that should have been turned over to the independent commission investigating the 9/11 terror attacks. Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and was fined $50,000.

Fixed Clinton’s Continued Use of Berger.  Messages found stored on Clinton’s private email server show that Berger – a convicted thief of classified documents – had been advising Clinton while she served as secretary of state and had access to emails containing classified information. Comey did nothing about it.

Illegal Surveillance of Americans.  In 2006, Comey refused to certify the legality of aspects of the NSA surveillance program. The certification was required under White House procedures for the program to continue. Comey refused to answer the Senate Judiciary Committee’s questions over the question. Comey met directly with President Bush who gave his support for making changes in the surveillance program. That program continued to surveil all Americans illegally with Comey’s approval.

Condones Torture.  In 2005, as Deputy Attorney General, Comey endorsed a memorandum approving the use of 13 enhanced interrogation techniques, including waterboarding and sleep deprivation for up to 180 hours, for use by the CIA when interrogating suspects.

Fixing Crimes for Lockheed.  In 2005, Comey became the General Counsel and Senior Vice President for Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Department of Defense’s largest contractor. Under Comey’s direction and influence, Lockheed continued to break many laws and rip-off the Pentagon mercilessly. There are 58 cases for Lockheed involving more than $600 million in fines, damages and other payments that are registered. When President Obama nominated Comey to become FBI director in 2013, Comey promised the United States Senate that he would recuse himself on all cases involving former employers. But Comey earned $6 million in one year alone from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin became a Clinton Foundation donor that very year. Lockheed Martin is a Clinton Foundation donor. Lockheed became a Clinton Global Initiative member in 2010. In 2010, Lockheed Martin won 17 approvals for private contracts from the Hillary Clinton State Department. Comey needed to recuse himself from any case involving the Clintons, but he didn’t.

Allowing Illegal Accounting.  In 2005, about two weeks after meeting with Comey personally, the KPMG legal team was told that Comey and Gonzales decided against an indictment of the firm. This sent a message to the Big Four public accounting firms, KPMG, Deloitte, EY and PwC. The largest global public accounting firms are now, as a result of their decision, considered “too few to fail” by the Justice Department and SEC.

Lying to Congress.  In his July, 2013, FBI confirmation hearing, Comey said that the oversight mechanisms of the U.S. government have sufficient privacy protections even though the Chinese had hacking almost every department in Washington and stolen military secrets, personnel information, and blue-prints to military aircraft and weapons.

Illegal Surveillance by FBI.  Comey requested Google, Facebook, Apple, Cisco and others to install a “back door” for U.S. surveillance agencies to use.

All of the above to James Comey are simply described as “just another day at the office.”

“There can be no path to principled immigration reform if the executive branch is able to rewrite or nullify federal laws at will.”

As President, my highest duty is to defend the American people and the Constitution of the United States of America. At the same time, I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. But we must also recognize that we are nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws.

The legislative branch, not the executive branch, writes these laws – this is the bedrock of our Constitutional system, which I took a solemn oath to preserve, protect, and defend.

In June of 2012, President Obama bypassed Congress to give work permits, social security numbers, and federal benefits to approximately 800,000 illegal immigrants currently between the ages of 15 and 36. The typical recipients of this executive amnesty, known as DACA, are in their twenties. Legislation offering these same benefits had been introduced in Congress on numerous occasions and rejected each time.

In referencing the idea of creating new immigration rules unilaterally, President Obama admitted that “I can’t just do these things by myself” – and yet that is exactly what he did, making an end-run around Congress and violating the core tenets that sustain our Republic.

Officials from 10 States are suing over the program, requiring my Administration to make a decision regarding its legality. The Attorney General of the United States, the Attorneys General of many states, and virtually all other top legal experts have advised that the program is unlawful and unconstitutional and cannot be successfully defended in court.

There can be no path to principled immigration reform if the executive branch is able to rewrite or nullify federal laws at will.  (NORM ‘n’ AL emphasis.)

The temporary implementation of DACA by the Obama Administration, after Congress repeatedly rejected this amnesty-first approach, also helped spur a humanitarian crisis – the massive surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America including, in some cases, young people who would become members of violent gangs throughout our country, such as MS-13.

Only by the reliable enforcement of immigration law can we produce safe communities, a robust middle class, and economic fairness for all Americans.

Therefore, in the best interests of our country, and in keeping with the obligations of my office, the Department of Homeland Security will begin an orderly transition and wind-down of DACA, one that provides minimum disruption. While new applications for work permits will not be accepted, all existing work permits will be honored until their date of expiration up to two full years from today. Furthermore, applications already in the pipeline will be processed, as will renewal applications for those facing near-term expiration. This is a gradual process, not a sudden phase out. Permits will not begin to expire for another six months, and will remain active for up to 24 months. Thus, in effect, I am not going to just cut DACA off, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act.

Our enforcement priorities remain unchanged. We are focused on criminals, security threats, recent border-crossers, visa overstays, and repeat violators. I have advised the Department of Homeland Security that DACA recipients are not enforcement priorities unless they are criminals, are involved in criminal activity, or are members of a gang.

The decades-long failure of Washington, D.C. to enforce federal immigration law has had both predictable and tragic consequences: lower wages and higher unemployment for American workers, substantial burdens on local schools and hospitals, the illicit entry of dangerous drugs and criminal cartels, and many billions of dollars a year in costs paid for by U.S. taxpayers. Yet few in Washington expressed any compassion for the millions of Americans victimized by this unfair system. Before we ask what is fair to illegal immigrants, we must also ask what is fair to American families, students, taxpayers, and job-seekers.

Congress now has the opportunity to advance responsible immigration reform that puts American jobs and American security first. We are facing the symptom of a larger problem, illegal immigration, along with the many other chronic immigration problems Washington has left unsolved. We must reform our green card system, which now favors low-skilled immigration and puts immense strain on U.S. taxpayers. We must base future immigration on merit – we want those coming into the country to be able to support themselves financially, to contribute to our economy, and to love our country and the values it stands for. Under a merit-based system, citizens will enjoy higher employment, rising wages, and a stronger middle class. Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue have introduced the RAISE Act, which would establish this merit-based system and produce lasting gains for the American People.

I look forward to working with Republicans and Democrats in Congress to finally address all of these issues in a manner that puts the hardworking citizens of our country first.

As I’ve said before, we will resolve the DACA issue with heart and compassion – but through the lawful Democratic process – while at the same time ensuring that any immigration reform we adopt provides enduring benefits for the American citizens we were elected to serve. We must also have heart and compassion for unemployed, struggling, and forgotten Americans.

Above all else, we must remember that young Americans have dreams too. Being in government means setting priorities. Our first and highest priority in advancing immigration reform must be to improve jobs, wages and security for American workers and their families.

It is now time for Congress to act!

 

[President Trump’s statement was released by the White House yesterday]

 

NORM ‘n’ AL Note:  Instead of reacting with only poorly-gathered emotions, it would be much more productive for all concerned if we Americans read the President’s complete statement first. Do we not owe both him and this issue at least that much?  We went through eight years of completely unprincipled and poorly thought-out executive actions when Obama was in office, because he had no thought at all of upholding and defending our Constitution.  His only goal was to promote his own agenda.  We now have a president who has pledged to defend America and its Constitution, and made that pledge with honesty and sincerity, and without the agenda…which is the way the US government is supposed to be conducted.  Don’t waste your time being upset at Mr. Trump; get on the phone to your elected senators and representatives, or send them an email or, better yet, a real letter which you have taken the time to compose and mail.  Not only that, but send them a copy of the President’s statement…otherwise they may never read it!

Amazon wants to sell us microwaved, sterilized (dead nutrient) meals that will promote disease, then sell us pills to treat the disease

Eager to break even further into the $700 billion U.S. grocery market, online retail giant Amazon is working hard to develop a new home delivery model that would extend the shelf life of food for up to a year. According to reports, the plan being discussed involves sterilizing food with microwave radiation using an advanced technology known as MATS, or microwave assisted thermal sterilization, that basically kills everything inside food, including nutrients.

First developed for the U.S. military as a way to keep food “fresh” without refrigeration, MATS involves immersing packaged food in pressurized hot water while simultaneously blasting it with microwave frequencies at 915MHz. This process rapidly destroys food pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, as well as much of the food’s nutrition, rendering it dead as a doornail, and thus free from unsightly mold or foul smells.

MATS food represents everything that health-conscious consumers don’t want to be putting inside their bodies, but it’s a perfect fit for Amazon’s monopolistic drive and just-in-time distribution model, which relies heavily on long-term storage and low-cost logistics. In essence, Amazon wants to tap into every area of the grocery business, in this case by implementing a system that avoids the troubles and expenses of having to refrigerate food – instead opting for fresh-looking food that’s been blasted to maintain the appearance of goodness and nutrition.

While Amazon already has another home delivery service known as AmazonFresh that delivers non-irradiated groceries to people’s doorsteps, the MATS concept stands to generate even more income and control over this lucrative market. AmazonFresh has already been around for about a decade, and with Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods, the sky’s the limit. Implementing MATS would only further bloat the multinational’s grocery portfolio, in other words, giving the company an upper hand over the general food supply.

“They obviously see that this is a potential disruptor and an ability to get to a private brand uniqueness that they’re looking for,” stated Greg Spragg, a former Walmart Stores Inc. executive, and head of a MATS technology start-up, about Amazon’s latest endeavor. “They will test these products with their consumers, and get a sense of where they would go.”

AmazonPharm will gladly be there to treat all the diseases you’ll get from consuming its dead MATS-radiated food

While MATS has the potential to become a huge profit generator for Amazon, the concept spells health disaster for consumers. Packaged meals that stay “fresh” for a year or more aren’t exactly the most biologically active when it comes to supporting the nutritional needs of the body. This means that people who consume them will be more prone to develop nutritional deficiencies and chronic disease.

Amazon apparently has an answer for that, too. As Natural News recently reported, Amazon is actively trying to break into the pharmaceutical market as well, having reportedly hired a team of professionals to develop plans for how best to market and sell drugs to consumers.

No, it’s not actually called AmazonPharm (at least as far as we can tell), but it could end up functioning as such, adding another $50 billion in annual sales and profits to Amazon’s already bloated portfolio. Combined with its anticipated MATS food business, Amazon stands to make a whole lot of money from dead food and synthetic medicines.

You see, when people who consume MATS food products end up developing chronic illnesses stemming from their lack of nutrients and altered genetics, they can simply log on to Amazon to order up some pain pills and heart medications. It’s a financial win-win for Amazon, which stands to profit immensely by gaining management power over its customers from “fork to pharm.”

Amazon has already begun selling its own medical supplies, reports indicate. And its popular Amazon Web Services platform is already being integrated within several big health corporations, including major pharmaceutical companies like Bristol-Myers Squibb and Orion Health. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has even indicated that he plans to dominate not only the pharmaceutical industry, but the entire healthcare marketplace.

There’s already talk of Amazon developing a type of healthcare marketplace in which consumers would have the ability to purchase access to doctors, medical services, and even drugs, all via the Amazon portal. Some speculate that Amazon will eventually offer delivery services for pharmaceuticals as well, which would threaten to put places like CVS and Walgreens out of business.

Though Amazon hasn’t commented directly on whether it plans to enter the pharmaceutical business on a specified timetable, reports from back in May suggest that the company has been working to hire a general manager to lead its business development division, recruiting from a pool of folks that include those from the healthcare industry.

Democratic NY senator says we should ignore the Constitution and give illegal aliens the right to vote

“It’s racist to allow only citizens to vote”

Chuck Schumer thinks that President Donald Trump should allow illegal aliens to vote in order to prove that he is not a white supremacist.

Schumer has been called “the most corrupt politician since Obama,” which is assuredly not something one should aspire to live up to.  Everything that protects America from chaos, such as immigration laws, vetting of refugees, and using photo voter IDs, is racism according to this idiot senator.

The reason illegal aliens cannot vote is simple: THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS. They are here illegally.  Did not Mr. Schumer swear to uphold the Constitution when he took his oath of office?  How can he possibly suggest that non-citizens in the USA be given the right to vote?  Even more, this obstructionist senator from New York wants to disband the Voter Fraud Commission that President Trump recently established through Executive Order.

Oh, but wait.  He just spent the last eight years watching Obama ignore and disparage the Constitution and get away with it, so he’s merely following in those footsteps.  Catering to immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, is a quick way to generate more votes for Democrats because the illegals will be grateful they are being catered to.  This was the reason why Obama was so eager to welcome illegal immigrants in the first place…so he could cater to them and urge them to become Democrats.

Mr. Schumer should be ashamed of himself, but Democrats rarely understand the meaning of that concept.
