But even more incomprehensible to some was the story that emerged after the bodies were found Tuesday: A father who, after he and his wife were fired from their jobs, killed all six family members before turning the gun on himself.
In a letter faxed to Los Angeles television station KABC before his suicide, Ervin Antonio Lupoe blamed his former employer for the deaths, detailing his grievance against Kaiser Permanente’s West Los Angeles Medical Center, where he and his wife Ana had worked as technicians.
Lupoe claimed the couple was being investigated for “misrepresentation of our employment to an outside agency for the benefit to ourselves’s [sic], childcare.” He said the initial interview was held on December 19, and when he reported for work on December 23, “I was told by my administrator … that ‘You should not even have bothered to come to work today. You should have blown your brains out.’” MUCH MORE
Kaiser Permanente stated “we are confident that no one told him to take his own life or the lives of his family.” Who do we believe? A large corporation - or the last words from an individual (who may have been mentally deficient and/or clinically depressed) that knows his life was about to end. There is a possibility it was a supervisor that was tired of doling out bad news, had a hard day, or was just an A**hole. In most cases of those who are passing on, it is truth and confessions that pour from their mouths, not lies. We’ll never know where the truth actually lies, but it’s the vision of no hope and a belief that their jobs were irreplaceable in a time of firings, lay-offs, and attrition - the father (and possibly the mother) appeared to have lost all hope, and this is only one example of many where senseless violence is on the rise in the United States in a nation that is in utter despair.
And today, I noted that an Ohio family had succumbed to murder/suicide, and while the police are not releasing the contents of the suicide note at this time, they make it a point to add the father was employed by Honda and was employed at the time of this tragedy. Whether or not it’s related to Honda moving some of their manufacturing from the U.S. to China was not mentioned and at this time remains a mystery - but the horrific crimes continue to add-up, indicating that the murder/suicides are mounting.
It takes a man of courage and an ability to act in the people’s best interests that has the ability to save this nation - and the courage I speak of would have to be monumental. The GOP would go crazy knowing the people themselves were going to benefit in a meaningful manner. The lobbyists on K-Street would be throwing money around like it was candy, and the elite would view such legislation as socialism or in our rabid right-wing’s language, treason. To make the tough decisions, you have to know what’s in the offing:
New Report: 30 Million Service Jobs May Be Shipped Overseas
by James Parks, Jan 23, 2009
Recent telecommunications advances, especially the Internet, could theoretically put more than 30 million U.S. jobs at risk of being exported overseas. Services previously needed to be performed domestically theoretically can be done anywhere in the world through the Internet, four U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) analysts say in an article appearing in the agency’s Monthly Labor Review (subscription required).
The 160 occupations considered capable of being performed in other countries account for some 30.3 million workers, one-fifth of total U.S. employment and cover a wide array of job functions, pay rates and educational levels.
More than half of the vulnerable jobs in the BLS study are professional and related occupations, including computer and mathematical science occupations and architecture and engineering jobs, and many office and administrative support occupations also are considered susceptible. MUCH MORE
The above report, which is more than sobering, indicates that the job market in the United States is extremely vulnerable because of globalization. It’s imperative to use your oratory skills and make it patriotic to buy American. The best price isn’t always the best deal! It isn’t hype, politics, or rhetoric; it’s the truth. We may never reach our former economic status, but to exist with some amount of dignity, we need bring to bring the bulk of our jobs back home. Corporations have to be re-educated that they have to be friendly to the American people and actually represent the needs of the people. And yes, it’s an extremely profitable venture. (But you do have to make money the “old fashioned way.”)
An article I just stumbled across today indicates the government is expecting trouble on a scale that could affect most of us, especially those who do not agree with the government or rise-up and demand justice and equality. I had hopes that with President Obama, the FEMA Internment camps might become a sad memory of the Bush administration. I was wrong. This is pending legislation that the MSM is not reporting upon, or if they have, it certainly hasn’t been covered with the scrutiny it deserves:
