Boeing, the world's largest aircraft maker is leaving the city it has helped make the air capital of the world.After years working with politicians in Kansas to secure government contracts, Boeing has announced that they will close their iconic plant in the south central city of Wichita next year.The closing of the plant, which services the US President's plane, Air Force One, will mean the loss of 2,000 jobs in the state's largest city. The jobs lost by the closing of the Boeing plant will represent a 10 per cent cut, as the city that over the decades went from 42,000 to 29,000 aviation industry jobs.Al Jazeera's John Hendren speaks to locals in Wichita about their sense of betrayal at the lost aviation jobs and the countless other related jobs that may go with those loss by the closing of the Boeing plant.

John 3:13-15 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

This is why bankers, big media/money should never be in business and Congress out of the way. Bullshit happens behind closed doors and we all suffer cause one politican wanted more cash or else shut em down. Bluff failed, we lost.

There isn't a city in America that doesn't share this story. All have been to the altar of asset stripping in the service of imperial globalization. All still waiting for rock bottom.

The Boeing Employee Union in Everett, WA did this to non-unionized Witchitah, KS. And how much do you bet they got some help from Obama?
