Five Guys responds to Inside Edition rodent expose

15 May 2009

After a visit from Inside Edition's Rat Patrol showed mice and rodents at two Washington, D.C.-area Five Guys locations, owners of the brand have shut down the stores until the problem can be addressed.

The television show was visiting the District this week taking aim at area restaurants frequented by the Obama family. Michelle Obama had taken her staff members to lunch at one of the locations in February.

The television program said it found a pack of rats outside the back door of the Dupont Circle restaurant two nights in a row, and at the second location, on Wisconsin Ave., a mouse was observed crawling through sacks of potatoes kept inside the front window. The mouse also was observed two nights in a row.

The Black Death or the Bubonic plague, which spread rapidly mostly throughout Europe (between 1347 and 1351) from rodent fleas; after the rodents where said to have came off of docked ships down the ropes. The estimated death toll was 4 to 7 million, due to the various sources and areas of infestation. Another more common malady of today, is that especially in the United States; that rodents are high carrier's of Rabies, among other contagious problems, which can be found not just the rodents themselves; but there droppings. Which this event in history is a reminder, of how serious a rodent infestation can be on a person's health and well-being; which this problem is not just in eateries in Washington D.C., but serious health risk across the US.

In response to the program, Five Guys released a statement:

"The health and safety of our customers and employees is of primary importance at Five Guys. As such, we have three, independent, third-party, precautionary programs in place to prevent health or safety risks at all of our restaurants. Previous to being notified by Matt Meagher of Inside Edition, we did not have any indicators of rodent infestation at the (Georgetown, D.C.) nor (Dupont Circle, D.C.) locations from our store management or from our third party oversight vendors including the D.C. Health Department.

"We thank Matt Meagher and his team for sending the still photos of a mouse at the Georgetown location and of rodent activity in the dumpster outside of our Dupont location. As a result, we took the most aggressive approach and closed the locations immediately on 5/12/09 and 5/13, respectively. In addition, we scheduled an immediate appointment with our pest control vendor to further investigate the claim. We will not reopen the locations until our pest control services and the local health department reconfirm that we are rodent free.

"Prior to this incident, we proactively scheduled routine visits from independent pest control companies along with a third-party, independent food safety and quality assurance brand protection company. We also receive regular inspections from the local health departments. The first two programs mentioned were started on our own accord to act as a proactive step to protect our customers and our brand. The pest control program has been in place since the opening of the restaurants and our auditing program has been in place, system wide, for over a year. We will use this experience with Inside Edition as an opportunity to research the programs that are in place and to determine where we need to make adjustments to make them more effective."

Loving Your Fellow as Yourself*

Ultra-Orthodox Jews walk past Muslim street vendors selling fresh vine leaves at the landmark Damascus Gate in east Jerusalem upon their return from overnight prayers and Torah reading at the Western Wall on the occasion of the Jewish harvest holiday (1) of Shavuot, early on 29 May 2009.

The annual religious festival, which began at sunset on 28 May; marks the day Moses gave the Torah to the Jews (from Mount Sinai) after their exodus from Egypt.

A Jewish boy looks at a Muslim man reading the daily Arabic newspaper 'Jerusalem' early on 29 May 2009 as ultra-Orthodox Jews passed through the landmark Damascus Gate in east Jerusalem upon their return from overnight prayers and Torah reading at the Western Wall on the occasion of the Jewish harvest holiday of Shavuot.

This comes at a time that only yesterday, US President Barack Obama in Washington DC; was again trying to destabilize the peaceful unity between Muslims and Jews, due to the US war that has been ongoing for over a hundred and nine years towards Israel and her people.

This also comes under the old US foreign policy ( known originally, as the "The Wind and the Lion" War Campaign; started by then US President Theodore Roosevelt ) towards Israel with Obama's continued enforcement of the unacceptable two-state solution (using in collaboration with the non-citizen Canaanites under PLO global terrorist, Interpol fugitive Mahmoud Abbas and his terrorist organization), which is detrimental to all the inhabitants of the country and the further necessity for desegregated housing towards every one's benefit .

Which Obama himself, is just another old hand of the same tired US oppressive story; which has no future (Judges 5:31).

(1) Harvest Holiday, Chag ha-Katzir (Harvest Festival); also Yom ha-Bikurim (Day of First Fruits) usually characterized here as being the end of the barley harvest.

The Only Solution: US Out of Pakistan

Pakistani citizens have a protest rally in Karachi on 27 May 2009 against the US and the military operation in the Swat, Buner and Malakand districts.

The military ordered the offensive under US pressure to crush alleged rebels in the northwest, which Washington said, 'threatened the very existence of the Muslim country and posed the greatest terror threat to the West.'

Around 2.4 million people have fled fighting as soldiers struggle to wrest back the northwest Swat and two nearby districts from alleged Taliban presence, since last month to within 100 kilometres (60 miles) of the capital Islamabad.

A Bezalel Islamic Prayer Rug

Bezalel (Exodus 31:1-11) was a leader who constructed and decorated the tabernacle in the wilderness detailed by Divine plan communicated to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Later, the Bezalel Academy was founded in Jerusalem in 1906 by sculptor Boris Schatz; named after the original Bezalel. Their mission was said to develop non charitable useful arts and crafts among Jews within the country, which in turn designs where developed within the scope of all the indigenous inhabitants; which are historically Jewish in origin.

Which some of the inhabitants after the Islamic period, became a people identified as having two religions.

Israel Tourism Poster Error

A close up of an Israel tourism poster, which depicts the whole of Israel and the disputed area under negotiations with Syria, known as the Golan Heights; as seen at an underground station in London, 22 May 2009.

As I do apoligize, that their was an error on the poster because of the situation pertaining to the Golan Heights and no disrespect was ever intended towards Syria.

As to the rest of the tourism poster, it is correct and has been so for quite some time under the authority of HRM Deborah of Israel.

As to those Pro-Palestinian activist's that complained, they where in grave error to their assumption and need's to learn more about the country.- HRM Deborah

Obama Attacks Jewish Center and Synagogue

NEW YORK - David Winter, executive director of the Riverdale Jewish Center, stands outside of the center following the foiling of a terrorist plot on 21 May 2009 in Bronx borough of New York City.

Four suspects were arrested last Wednesday night on charges of plotting to detonate explosives near a synagogue and Jewish center in the Bronx borough of New York City and to allegedly shoot down military planes located at the New York Air National Guard Base at Stewart Airport in Newburgh, New York; which came only days after Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah's visit with US President Barack Obama in Washington DC.

While this is another case by the US government under US President Barack Obama, to put four people in place instead of the usual three black males which was common under the Bush Administration; in this particular case, to appear as Islamic Extremist’s and commit an Anti-Semitic terrorist attack; this time the main objective was a Jewish Center and synagogue.

Previous attacks and murder's which has occurred before by the US government towards Muslims and Jew's is still ongoing within the boundaries of the US, as with some of these previous ventures; with the aid of US agencies.
