The Quaker Oats Company announced Wednesday it is permanently closing its factory in Danville, Illinois, with upwards of 500 employees to be impacted.
The News-Gazette reports Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. confirmed the news to the wider community, with city officials saying:
Today, we learned that after 65 years of production in Danville, Pepsico will close Quaker Oats effective June 8, 2024.
The business has already ceased production but will continue to pay their employees through that time. While this shocks and saddens us, we will unite as a community to help those who have lost their employment.
Williams said he is unsure whether any of the affected employees are being transferred or if they are all being laid off.

Dick Van Dyke is saddened.
I’ve been eating Life Cereal for 60+ years. But recently I’ve seen “Product of Canada” on the boxes. I guess we don’t have enough grain here in the US...or workers to process it and package it.
Just more proof of Bidenomics creating a more balanced and equitable economy, make everyone poor.
I’m from Danville, it WAS a nice town before...but lately, gangs imported from Chicago, more and more drugs, high taxes and poor management and a Gov that is a utter and total failure.
I wonder how much this is impacted by the government program paying some farmers to keep their land fallow.
You have to wonder if the new plant will hire only our wonderful Newcomers.
I feel bad for the workers. It’s not easy to lose a job... especially in this climate of disaster and looming further disaster.
The breakdown of the family, the absence of fathers, the loss of faith.
Just spoke with my sister who lives just outside of Danville, the rumor mill is working overtime, this move and other moves indicate that the gov of Illinois will be moving in a large load of illegal aliens in to the area and housing them in a soon to be closed mall.
I grew up over there. AKA the western hub of Illlinois evil. I am an RN, worked there in both hospital, as well as other medical venues. Dvlle has been in freefall for years. <B
This is the end result of leftist activity in that area. Consider almost all the area around this city is Conservative...for miles around it, all the small cities.
Lots of trains in danville. Many many trains. I was frequently late to work because of the trains. I always thought of Dville as a “dirty” city. It has lived up to its name.
There is a good side though. Lots of good fishing around the area. Not the lake: Is it still too shallow to ski? I don’t know. But this is not the only business this city has lost. “the old addage of come out of her” really does have signicance for this now defunct city.
That stuff raised my blood sugar. Always thought it was good for us.
Is a holodomor coming to the land of milk and honey?
For other countries he hates this one
There is an often ignored issue that many manufacturers have.
The ROI on a manufacturing plant is often best the more hours a day it can operate, with many plants having more than one shift.
And even when that is not the case it can be problematic (too much production shut down) to modernize an operating facility, while its operating. Yet, even after building newer more modern facilities where they can, they will wrench all the ROI out of an older facility, as long as they can, and then no more.
“You have to wonder if the new plant will hire only our wonderful Newcomers.”
I think the newer plant has already been operating for some time.
Rolled oats used to raise no concerns about health because in its natural state it is simple de-husked oat kernels run through a roller mill. However, with genetic engineering and Monsanto chemicals in agriculture one has to now be concerned over something as simple as consuming rolled oats. As to the salmonella ‘scare,’ that appears all it was. I see no reported cases of illness and the shut down looks to me like an excuse to dump 500 workers and move out of Danville.
Quite a long time ago (~2000 AD), The Hog slaughterhouse in Logansport, IN closed for long, major remodeling.
After it re-opened, none (almost none) of the former employees was re-hired (I knew few), but the plant hired new “wonderful newcomers”.
Funny, to go around the blatant discrimination, they actually highly advertised the job openings, but they found some problems with anybody who tried to apply.
Obviously, jobs which US citizens do not want to do!
The town crime problem skyrocketed.

We were Couped:

The Great American Coup d’état.
Coup d’état, also called coup, the sudden, violent overthrow of an existing government by a small group. The chief prerequisite for a coup is control of all or part of the armed forces, the police, and other military elements. Unlike a revolution, which is usually achieved by large numbers of people working for basic social, economic, and political change, a coup is a change in power from the top that merely results in the abrupt replacement of leading government personnel.
A coup rarely alters a nation’s fundamental social and economic policies, nor does it significantly redistribute power among competing political groups. Among the earliest modern coups were those in which Napoleon overthrew the Directory on November 9, 1799 (18 Brumaire), and in which Louis Napoleon dissolved the assembly of France’s Second Republic in 1851. Coups were a regular occurrence in various Latin American nations in the 19th and 20th centuries and in Africa after the countries there gained independence in the 1960s.
Types of Coups d’Etat:
As described by political scientist Samuel P. Huntington in his 1968 book Political Order in Changing Societies, there are three generally recognized types of coups:
The breakthrough coup: In this most-common type of takeover, an opposing group of civilian or military organizers overthrows the seated government and installs themselves as the nation’s new leaders. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, in which Russian Communists led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin overthrew the tsarist regime, is an example of a breakthrough coup.
The guardian coup: Typically justified as being for the “broader good of the nation,” the guardian coup occurs when one elite group seizes power from another elite group. For example, an army general overthrows a king or president. Some consider the 2013 overthrow of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as part of the Arab Spring to have been a guardian coup.
The veto coup: In a veto coup, the military steps in to prevent radical political change. The failed 2016 coup conducted by a faction of the Turkish military in an attempt to prevent what it considered Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s assault on secularism could be considered a veto coup.
Wikipedia lists some 13 examples of coups here in the US. Number 13 is a complete lie and does not tell the truth of the Biden overthrow. But that’s what makes for a great coup; the state run media lying to the public.
Wikipedia also speaks about a Soft Coup. Or a nonviolent revolution. AKA a bloodless coup.
But is that what has happened here in America? Nope. Look at the violence and bloodshed.

Wikipedia also speaks about a Soft Coup. Or a nonviolent revolution. AKA a bloodless coup. But is that what has happened here in America? Nope. Look at the violence and bloodshed Antifa and BLM has caused in our American cities and see how clearly violence has played a part in the overthrow of our American government.
And then there are Predictors. Event and issues that lead up to a coup. One predictor not listed but which played a very large role in the 2020 coup was the manmade crisis caused by the manmade Covid 19 virus. The manipulation by our enemies to overthrow a legal election using panic over Covid was ingenious.
But there are other components that liberals used in overthrowing America. Lets list them:
1. State Run Media. There is no doubt that the news media and social media are but tools of the Democrats to spread disinformation and lies.
2. Fraudulent Election. There is also no doubt the election on November 3, 2020 was stolen by millions of votes.
3. Collusion with a foreign military power. The Biden’s (Hunter and Joe)collusion with China and other governments played a key role in how and why the election went the way it did.
4. Riots and insurrections. From Minneapolis to Portland to many other cities, we saw government allowed actions of violence and sedition in the streets.
5. A puppet regime. Look at many South American or African overthrows and you will often see a weak leader that is totally controlled by another powerful entity. Joe Biden is the perfect example of a puppet.
6. Goverment Agencies. The FBI is but one of many agencies that have been complicit in undermining the Constitution and was but another part of the coup. The events on 1/6 were completely orchestrated by the FBI using Antifa agents as provocateurs.
7. Troops in the Capitol. How can any coup d’etat be sucessful without a powerful military force to back it up? Pelosi and the democrats show of force - 25,000 troops at the Capitol - was another essential element of how the US was overthrown.
8. Political Prisoners. Yep. We have them also. Months after the events on 1/6 the FBI has rounded up and jailed hundreds of political prisoners with no bail and no trial. The Kangaroo Court verdict and the massively unfair sentence of Derek Chauvin is also an indication of how a Banana Republic sends innocent people to jail simply because they are on the wrong side of politics in this country.
9. Suppression of Civil Rights. The right to vote is a fundamental freedom. The liberals stealing millions of votes in effect removed our right to vote. We also had the right to free speech removed. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other media sites are very public ways to express our freedoms. The very idea that they routinely and capriciously remove and cancel conservative POV’s is unconstitutional. And what about the authoritative and illegal lockdowns we endured. The USSR would have been proud of that.
