These facts are indisputable and despite the censorship and propaganda, each passing day skeptics like me are being proven correct in our assessments of the situation!</p><p> Black people in the US and around the world have every reason to be skeptical and hesitant regarding the West’s COVID remediation attempts given the long sordid nexus and history of eugenics, population control, medicine and vaccines. What we are seeing and experiencing now is extremely alarming: escalating all cause mortality and an ever growing list of adverse reactions to the COVID jabs following the inject roll outs in December of 2020; yet Big Pharma, the corporate mind control apparatus and the governments continue to deny the existence of this humongous elephant in the room and they keep pushing the jabs!</p><p> Here is something interesting that flies in the face of the COVID “vaccine” propaganda; the African continent has the lowest vaccine rates in the whole world and the lowest incidence of COVID infection! “Part of the African continent’s success is no doubt due to a fortunate accident of microbiology, infectious diseases, pharmacology and immunology. <strong>It so happens that two of the most effective treatments for COVID, ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, are also routine prophylactic weekly medicines throughout equatorial Africa, because they happen to be known for a half-century as the most effective, applicable and safest anti-parasite medications.</strong> So the population, particularly through about 31 countries, the tropical middle rectangle roughly, of Africa already were well-equipped prior to COVID events launching in late 2019 to early 2020. As fortune would have it, the unpatented and relatively inexpensive half-century old drug Ivermectin, whose inventors won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015, also has been the most effective medicine against COVID, due in part to its specific effect against RNA transcriptase, as well as its blocking effect on all three parts of the trimeric spike protein, and other mechanisms.” <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/africa-starkly-unvaccinated-and-starkly-unvanquished-covid#comment-stream">https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/africa-starkly-unvaccinated-and-starkly-unvanquished-covid#comment-stream</a></p><p> Are you getting the significance of this? Our people in Africa were wise enough to eschew the mRNA injections and it has paid off handsomely in the lowest rates of infection and concomitant vaccine adverse effects! Righteous leaders like the late John Magufuli who earned degrees in chemistry including a PhD, publicly exposed and ridiculed the uselessness of the COVID tests led the way. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-tanzania/president-queries-tanzania-coronavirus-kits-after-goat-test">https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-tanzania/president-queries-tanzania-coronavirus-kits-after-goat-test</a> Many people believe he was killed because of it. He died suddenly and his successor Samia Suluhu Hassana a Western lapdog, immediately reversed his policies and pushed for injections (they are not vaccines in the original definition and sense of the word!) <a href="https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=50886">https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=50886</a></p><p> Magufuli and other brave African leaders set the tone for questioning, challenging and rejecting the West’s conclusions and narratives about COVID and their mitigation therapies. “<strong>This is not the first piece of evidence that Africa is leading the world away from a microbial-pretext tyranny. </strong> Last summer, Africa stood alone in being the continent, led by Botswana, to pull the worlds’ people back from the precipice, while pushing the World Health Organization (WHO) back from their attempted tyranny over all world governments. This danger is by no means past, and new efforts for WHO dominance over the world are ominously re-grouping at this time. Africa led the way and inspires the world. Are the politicians and “public health experts” of the rest of the world humble enough to admit their grotesque errors, even crimes, and to learn from the peoples of the African nations, their experiences and lessons on handling a pandemic? Or will ethnocentrism or a hostile and racist pride, or the sheer greed stimulated by the lucrative COVIDmania boondoggle, prevent the rest of the world’s willingness to learn from the African experience? Will such provincial and purchased attitudes bury the 21st century’s most important lesson to date?” <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/africa-starkly-unvaccinated-and-starkly-unvanquished-covid#comment-stream">https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/africa-starkly-unvaccinated-and-starkly-unvanquished-covid#comment-stream</a></p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}10960006092,RESIZE_180x180{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}10960006092,RESIZE_180x180{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="10960006092?profile=RESIZE_180x180" /></a></p><p> Oh and by the way in case you think it was just a Black thing, Sweden rejected the farcical lockdowns and has shown that their approach fared better than most of their European neighbors! <a href="https://unherd.com/thepost/sweden-reaps-the-benefits-of-its-no-lockdown-policy/">https://unherd.com/thepost/sweden-reaps-the-benefits-of-its-no-lockdown-policy/</a>.

<p> </p>
<p> When you question the goals of the oligarchs who run the world they call you a “conspiracy theorist” or a tin foil hat wearer. They do so to discredit you and marginalize you so people will reject what you say or ignore your questions and evidence.</p>
<p>From my perspective there are three main types of people in the world, those who are ignorant and apathetic about what is going on, those who believe things happen by coincidence, life is random etc and the third group who realize things happen in this world on the physical plane due to planning, cooperation and collusion what some might call “conspiracy”.</p>
<p> The ruling elites are the world’s most famous or infamous plotters, schemers and colluders. They do so to further their hold on power, to enrich their class at the expense of the rest of us, to monetize and legitimize their psychopathy and greed. They formulate plans, they have immediate goals, five year plans, twenty year plans and multigenerational plans designed to advance their agendas. This is no secret; we can read books, magazines or go Online to see how they did it, how they are doing it now and what they plan for the future.</p>
<p>In the past the elites kept their plans secret only people in their innermost circles knew what was going on and then not everyone was privy to the same information which is why people said they were engaged in conspiracies. But now they openly flaunt their plans. Of course they couch their agendas in noble sounding verbiage; they’re not going to reveal their plans to create a neo-feudal, techno-fascist social order. Occasionally they do share some of their plans to see what our reactions will be so they can determine how to best move forward. <a href="https://www.corbettreport.com/how-to-spot-a-propaganda-trial-balloon-propagandawatch/">https://www.corbettreport.com/how-to-spot-a-propaganda-trial-balloon-propagandawatch/</a></p>
<p> For example you can go to the World Economic Forum’s Website and see for yourself exactly what these globalists, eugenicist billionaires who own more physical assets than the rest of the world put together are planning. They call it the <strong>Great Reset</strong>.</p>
<p>The Davos crowd is calling for a total restructure of society: economic, political and social. They are saying COVID is “an opportunity” to restructure the world and they are going to take full advantage of it.</p>
<p>This is what they are saying, “There won’t be many among the 7.7 billion people on Earth who haven’t been affected in some way by COVID-19. From sickness and the death of loved ones to work shortages and school closures, the pandemic’s ramifications have touched every part of society – and thrown inequalities into sharp relief. As lockdowns are starting to ease, governments and organizations across the globe are turning their attention to the recovery process – and the opportunity it provides to rebuild in a different way. One that makes the world better for everyone and addresses the other great crisis of our time: climate change. With the economic fallout from COVID-19 dominating <a href="http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_COVID_19_Risks_Outlook_Special_Edition_Pages.pdf">risk perceptions</a>, this is a rare window of opportunity to shape a more sustainable, resilient world. And starting today [3 June], the World Economic Forum is working with HRH The Prince of Wales on an initiative coined Great Reset, to guide decision-makers on the rocky path ahead. Leading up to the Forum’s Annual Meeting 2021, which will be devoted to the Great Reset, a series of virtual Great Reset Dialogues will take place every other Wednesday – bringing together global stakeholders from all sectors to discuss the way forward.” How the world can reset itself after COVID 19- according to these experts <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/covid19-great-reset-gita-gopinath-jennifer-morgan-sharan-burrow-climate/">https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/covid19-great-reset-gita-gopinath-jennifer-morgan-sharan-burrow-climate/</a></p>
<p>Who are these stakeholders they are calling on to reshape the world?1 When you look at the World Economic Forum, who their members are, who is partnering with them, how these people made their money how they gained their positions and influence you get an creepy feeling something is amiss. Many of these people are European royalty, members of secret societies and organizations like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, The Trilateral Commission, The Order of Skull and Bones; many are CEOs of multinational corporations, international banking cartels, government leaders and others. Given the history of the past five hundred plus years it strains credibility to think these people really care about humanity or this planet!</p>
<p> But that is exactly what they want us to think. They are hell bent on transformation and they are using COVID to make it happen. Keep your eyes and ears out for their 2021 Great Reset. You will see more and more talk about the need for a systemic reset to facilitate sustainability, reduce inequality, counteract climate change, insure vaccines and health security; keep in mind Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the World Economic Forum sponsored the October 2019 global pandemic planning and simulation exercise called <strong>Event 201</strong> a few months before COVID struck.</p>
<p>If you are a coincidence thinker you say so what, but if you subscribe to the collusion scrutiny of history/reality you know something is up.</p>

They have been successfully initiated into a cult, which is essentially what totalitarianism is, albeit on a societal scale. Their initiation into the Covidian Cult began in January, when the medical authorities and corporate media turned on The Fear with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/who-says-coronavirus-death-rate-is-3point4percent-globally-higher-than-previously-thought.html">projections of hundreds of millions of death<strong>s</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/31/a-man-lies-dead-in-the-street-the-image-that-captures-the-wuhan-coronavirus-crisis"><strong>fake photos of people dropping dead in the streets</strong></a>. The psychological conditioning has continued for months. The global masses have been subjected to a constant stream of propaganda, manufactured hysteria, wild speculation, conflicting directives, exaggerations, lies, and tawdry theatrical effects.”</em> The COVID Cult- CJ Hopkins <a href="https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/13/the-covidian-cult/">https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/13/the-covidian-cult/</a></p><p> </p><p> When the mass media began reporting about the COVID-19 pandemic early this year, I became suspicious. As a journalist I recognized we were being subjected to a massive propaganda campaign, a military style psychological operation (psy-op), day in day out gloom, doom, dire predictions of death coupled with images of overwhelmed hospitals, morgues, doctors, nurses, morticians saying how inundated they were, and they were. But through it all I kept searching and found glimmers of truth to contradict the media induced hysteria and panic. My Higher Self prompted me not to fall for the flimflam. Even when politicians shut down the economy and closed society to in person interactions I remained skeptical, even more so.</p><p> Once I gleaned the facts, agenda and patterns I was able to predict what the fear-mongers next moves were going to be. I knew they had to keep the hysteria going. I knew just like after 9-11 when the government regularly announced color coded terror alerts (until people finally stopped falling for their okey-doke) that sooner or later people would begin to resist and react to the lock downs. I knew the oligarchs would have to lighten up a bit because they took everything away from us: sports, school attendance, religious observation and attendance, national holidays (Easter. Memorial Day and 4<sup>th</sup> of July) and they literally put us on house arrest; I knew people would snap.</p><p>They did but I didn’t count on the racial angle. People were already in the streets protesting the lock downs, when George Floyd was murdered by Milwaukie police. Much of the unrest and protests were due to cabin fever, anxiety and the psychological meltdown from the lockdowns!</p><p>When placed under extreme pressure, humans either transmute their stress and rechannel it into something positive, they explode outwardly or implode inwardly. We are seeing examples of all of these. The perpetrators of this crime against humanity, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, the WHO, CDC, The World Economic Forum and assorted billionaires knew this was going to happen. They were well aware their fear-mongering, gloom and doom and the suppression of optimistic alternative narratives and facts would lead to psychotic meltdowns and maladaptive responses.</p><p>We are seeing the rise in COVID related suicides, deaths of despair, addictions, abuse and mental illness. We are witnessing and experiencing mass psychosis, cult like behavior knowingly and deliberately caused by the non-stop psychological programming of the oligarchs’ psy-op and propaganda. An article called <strong>The COVID Cult</strong> in Off-Guardian a British counter culture Website says it like this, “Because the same techniques that most cult leaders use to control the minds of the members of their cults are used by totalitarian systems to control the minds of entire societies: Milieu Control, Loaded Language, Sacred Science, Demand for Purity, and other standard mind-control techniques. It can happen to pretty much any society, just as anyone can fall prey to a cult, given the right set of circumstances. It is happening to most of our societies right now. An official narrative is being implemented. A totalitarian official narrative. A totally psychotic official narrative, no less delusional than that of the Nazis, or the Manson family, or any other cult. Most people cannot see that it is happening, for the simple reason that it is happening to them. They are literally unable to recognize it. The human mind is extremely resilient and inventive when it is pushed past its limits. Ask anyone who has struggled with psychosis or has taken too much LSD. We do not recognize when we are going insane…What we are up against is not a misunderstanding or a rational argument over scientific facts. It is a fanatical ideological movement, a global totalitarian movement the first of its kind in human history. It isn’t national totalitarianism, because we’re living in a global capitalist empire, which isn’t ruled by nation-states, but rather, by supranational entities and the global capitalist system itself. And thus, the cult/culture paradigm has been inverted. Instead of the cult existing as an island within the dominant culture, <em>the cult has become the dominant culture</em>, and those of us who have not joined the cult have become the isolated islands within it.” The COVID Cult- CJ Hopkins <a href="https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/13/the-covidian-cult/">https://off-guardian.org/2020/10/13/the-covidian-cult/</a></p><p>We are the victims of targeted and focused psychological manipulation using fear to capture our minds and reduce us to cowering, compliant fools and zombies. FYI, the World Health Organization hired the D.C. PR firm Hill and Knowlton to manage their COVID messaging. Hill and Knowlton are the same people who gave us the fake story about Iraqis murdering Kuwaiti babies in incubators to manipulate us into going along with the invasion of Iraq and the Iraq war!</p><p>Yale University is testing COVID vaccine propaganda as we speak!

The company's director of communications wrote ‘Koch companies value free speech and believe it is good to have more Americans engaged in key policy issues. That said, Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch and David Koch have no ties to and have never given money to FreedomWorks. In addition, no funding has been provided by Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch or David Koch specifically to support the tea parties.’ Koch's director of communications did affirm, however, that the company funds Americans for Prosperity (AFP). TPM's Lee Fang reports that ‘AFP was founded in part by the company's Executive Vice President, David Koch. He is currently the chairman of the board of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation.’ Media Matters also lists the Sarah Scaife Foundation as having given a total of $2.96 million in funding to FreedomWorks.[7] The Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation is financed by the Mellon industrial, oil, and banking fortune. The Claude R. Lambe Foundation, also controlled by the Koch family, has donated more than $3 million to Americans for Prosperity”</span> Tea Party Funding <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Tea_Party_movement_funding">http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Tea_Party_movement_funding</a><br /><br /> A little over a year or so ago I started getting E-mail messages from Dick Armey who was calling for rallies and demonstrations against the policies of Barack Obama. How he got my E-mail address I’ll never know. However I noticed the masthead on his literature was called Freedomworks and after receiving more announcements about upcoming marches and demonstrations I did a little Internet research on Armey and Freedomworks. For those of you not familiar with him, Dick Armey was a former US Congressman who rose to the rank of Majority Leader when the Republicans took control of the House during the 90's. He eventually left Congress and took on the role as Chairman of Freedomworks an organization dedicated according to it Website to: lower taxes, less government and more freedom. Looking at their Website <a href="http://www.freedomworks.org/issues">www.freedomworks.org/issues</a> you see they profess to be against government regulation and for tax and tort reform, school choice, privatization of Social Security and reform of Medicare. <br /> <br /> So while their Website appears benign and ideologically non- threatening, the tip off that they are not libertarians is the fact that nowhere on their Website do they take a stand against the ongoing wars that are draining this country dry; nor do they mention the bailouts of the insurance, banking and Hedge Fund industries by the same government they want to shrink. So it was not surprising to me when it came to light that Freedomwokrs is a front for the Koch Brothers, two energy industry billionaires who have their own aggressive right wing agenda. According to SourceWatch a group that, “profiles the activities of front groups, PR spinners, industry-friendly experts, industry-funded organizations, and think tanks trying to manipulate public opinion on behalf of corporations or government.”, the Tea Party is being funded by super wealthy right wingers to promote their own conservative agenda.<br /> “ Reports indicate that the Tea Party Movement benefits from millions of dollars from conservative foundations that are derived from wealthy U.S. families and their business interests. Is appears that money to organize and implement the Movement flows primarily through two conservative groups: Americans for Prosperity and FreedomWorks. In an April 9, 2009 article on ThinkProgress.org, Lee Fang reports that the principal organizers of Tea Party events are Americans for Prosperity and Freedom Works, two ‘lobbyist-run think tanks’ that are ‘well funded’ and that provide the logistics and organizing for the Tea Party movement from coast to coast. Media Matters reported that David Koch of Koch Industries was a co-founder of Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE), the predecessor of FreedomWorks. David Koch was chairman of the board of directors of CSE.[2] CSE received substantial funding from David Koch of Koch Industries, which is the largest privately-held energy company in the country, and the conservative Koch Family Foundations, which make substantial annual donations to conservative think tanks, advocacy groups, etc. Media Matters reported that the Koch family has given more than $12 million to CSE (predecessor of FreedomWorks) between 1985 and 2002" <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.p">http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.p</a> <br /> <br /> In case you haven’t figured it out by now, the Tea Party movement isn’t a spontaneous grass roots movement after all. Disaffected whites are being manipulated by some very cunning Republican right wingers who are exploiting the fears, frustrations and angst of white folks who see their net worth and standard of living deteriorating at a rapid pace. These white folks are looking for someone to blame because they mindlessly drank the Kool-Aid about their house always appreciating in value, believing they could keep using it like an ATM machine ad infinitum. Now they are facing default, unemployment and homelessness; they are angry and frightened. While their frustrations are real and justified, the so called spontaneity of the Tea Party movement is not. Yes people are upset but like me many of them received E-mails and letters from Dick Armey and Freedomworks urging them to attend town meetings, rallies and demonstrations against Obama’s Healthcare Bill and other domestic policy issues. Armey and the Republican Party recruited Glen Beck and Sarah Palin to be their celebrity spokespersons and Fox News a bastion of fascist propaganda anyway, readily jumped on board to support the movement. Don’t be mad at the Tea Baggers, they are being duped and used by the right wingers for their agenda.<br /> <br /> The left-right divide is used by the ruling elites to cunningly keep the masses duped, distracted, disorganized and discombobulated. This way the people won’t come together to figure out how the banksters, military industrial complex war mongers, the multi-national corporations their political puppets and stooges are ripping us off. Both sides of the political aisle are bought and paid for. It’s not just the Tea Party, it’s the left too. Don’t you ever wonder who funds the NAACP or how Al Shaprton flies all over the country to attend “grass roots” rallies? If you want to see who is funding most of the organizations on both the left and right go to <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=338">www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=338</a> which is a right wing Website by the way; and peruse their Funding The Left and Right page. Click on the various spreadsheets they provide and look at the names of the foundations putting out money to fund supposedly grass roots movements.<br /> <br /> I have nothing against philanthropy but when money is used as a means for clandestine political manipulation that’s a different story. The ruling elites have mastered funding both sides in a dispute, that way no matter who wins, they come out on top and the “winners” owe them. They do it in political campaigns and war. Don’t fall for the okey-doke and flim-flam. The Tea Party is being used by right wingers to further their own agenda, just like some so called progressive organizations are funded by the left to promote their agenda. <br /><br /> -30- <br /> <br /> <br /><br /></div>The Health Care Reform Flim-Flamhttps://www.theblacklist.net/forum/topics/the-health-care-reform2009-11-30T18:59:15.000Z2009-11-30T18:59:15.000ZJunious Ricardo Stantonhttps://www.theblacklist.net/members/JuniousRicardoStanton<div><b>From the Ramparts</b>Junious Ricardo Stanton<b>The Health Care Reform Flim-Flam</b><i>“We must realize that we're in a battle not merely for whether this particular puppet regime of the demonic cabal in 2009 starts this pre-emptive war or that or gives trillions of taxpayer money to fat-cat bankers, but with whether or not our very being will be subverted by lies and false values. A depraved society--such as we now face--can destroy a person's soul, because the disorder of society is a disease in the psyche of its members... We must, in other words, refer to what's happening today by its true nature--pathocracy--the rule by insane thugs--instead of masking it with such lies as ‘incompetence,’ ‘receiving false intelligence,’ and ‘well-intentioned but bungling efforts.’”</i> Pathocracy <a href="http://www.hermes-press.com/pathocracy">www.hermes-press.com/pathocracy</a>Did you know that Republican Party candidates William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt ran for President and Vice President in 1900 on a platform calling for universal health care and national health insurance? They won but obviously they didn't follow through on their campaign promises because here we are in 2009 and many US citizens lack health insurance and the so called health care industry is far from the angels of mercy portrayed in the corporate media. Granted emergency care, Triage and acute care have helped numerous people in time of need and distress. However a candid look at the US “health care” industry reveals some very alarming results. In 2000 Dr. Barbara Starfield M.D. MPH at the Department of Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health wrote a paper for the Journal of the American Medical Association entitled: Is US Health Really the Best In The World? The paper compares the health of US citizens against the health of twelve other industrialized nations. In it she pointed out some shocking facts, “The US population does not have anywhere near the best health in the world. Of 13 countries in a recent comparison, the United States ranks an average of 12th (second from the bottom) for 16 available health indicators. The US ranks behind Japan, Sweden, Canada, France, Australia, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Belgium. The poor performance of the United States was recently confirmed by the World Health Organization, which used different indicators, and ranked the United States as 15th among 25 industrialized countries. 13th (last) for low-birth-weight percentages 13th (last) for neonatal mortality and infant mortality overall 11th for post-neonatal mortality,13th (last) for years of potential life lost (excluding external causes), 11th for life expectancy at 1 year for females, 12th for males 10th for life expectancy at 15 years for females, 12th for males, 10th for life expectancy at 40 years for females and 9th for males,7th for life expectancy at 65 years for females and 7th for males, 10th for age-adjusted mortality” Is US Health Really The Best In The World JAMA, Vol. 284, No. 4, July 26, 2000 <a href="http://www.drscottfuller.com/pdfs/US_Health.pdf">www.drscottfuller.com/pdfs/US_Health.pdf</a>In her report Dr. Starfield also came to some very unsettling conclusions: “The health care system also may contribute to poor health through its adverse effects.” For example: 12,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery, 7000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals, 20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals, 80,000 deaths/year from nosocomial infections in hospitals, 106,000 deaths/year from non-error, adverse effects of medications These total to 225,000 deaths per year from iatrogenic causes. These estimates are for deaths only and do not include adverse effects that are associated with disability or discomfort. If other estimates are used, the deaths due to iatrogenic causes would range from 230,000 to 284,000. In any case, 225,000 deaths per year constitutes the third leading cause of death in the United States, after deaths from heart disease and cancer. An estimate of adverse effects in outpatient care and including adverse effects other than death concluded that between 4% and 18% of consecutive patients experience adverse effects in outpatient settings, resulting in 116 million extra physician visits, 77 million extra prescriptions, 17 million emergency department visits, 8 million hospitalizations, 3 million long-term admissions, 199,000 additional deaths, and $77 billion in extra costs.” <a href="http://www.drscottfuller.com/pdfs/US_Health.pdf">www.drscottfuller.com/pdfs/US_Health.pdf</a>With all the hoopla about Obama, Congress and “health care reform” have you seen or heard any of these figures, estimates or issues raised in the corporate media? I certainly haven't. How can they talk about serious health care reform and not address the conclusions in Dr. Starfield’s paper, “Recognition of the harmful effects of health care interventions, and the likely possibility that they account for a substantial proportion of the excess deaths in the United States compared with other comparably industrialized nations, sheds new light on imperatives for research and health policy” ibid.All the talk in the media is about costs and fiscal deficits but in my opinion the debate needs to be expanded to address the thousands of needless deaths caused by medical interventions and policies!! It is obvious Obama and the Congress are not on our side. They are too busy pandering to the insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, the for profit hospitals and physicians who have influenced the pending legislation via bribes euphemistically called campaign contributions. Our Congress critters can always set aside budget busting funds to wage illegal invasions and occupations of sovereign nations on behalf of the military industrial complex and oil companies, bail out the international money changers whose irresponsible speculation and Ponzi schemes caused the US financial system to implode and pass laws that benefit the pharmaceutical industry but they magically become frugal when it comes to looking out for Joe and Jane Sixpack, Pookie and Shananay.The same politicians who give away the store to the aforementioned special interests are doing nothing to help their struggling and suffering constituents weather the depression we are currently experiencing. Don't be fooled by the hype and disinformation; the pending health care reform legislation will not reform the system to help us nor make affordable health insurance a reality. How can working class people pay for health insurance if they are losing their jobs?! This is another scam to fleece the people, extort more taxes under the guise of health care/insurance while creating stranglehold monopolies for the insurance companies, drug industry, hospitals and physicians.“A survey published in the April 2008 Annals of Internal Medicine showed that 59 percent of U.S. physicians support national health insurance. Polls have long shown that a majority of Americans favor some form of single payer health-care system. Over the last 30 plus years the number of doctors and nurses has increased approximately 2.5 to 3 times. This increase is proportional to the growth in population. But the number of health administration personnel has increased 30 times! These increased personnel are not doctors, not nurses, not pharmacists. They provide no care. Many of them are being paid to deny care. So, they're fighting with the doctors and the hospitals to see how few bills can be paid. That's how the insurance industry thrives--by denying care, paying as little out as it can, getting the healthiest patients, and yet getting reimbursed as though these patients were sicker than they really are. With such a racket as this going it's no wonder that the billions being made from the private health insurance industry and from the drug industry get spread all around Washington. The biggest recipients of insurance money and drug money are the powerful people who chair the committees, who decide what witnesses testify.” Workers Must Demand Single Payer Universal Healthcare <a href="http://www.hermes-press.com/health_industry_scam.htm">www.hermes-press.com/health_industry_scam.htm</a>This is why the “single payer public option” was taken off the table. Don't go for the okey-doke, this is another flim-flam scam. We can’t count on the federal government to save us because they are too corrupt. They are bought and paid for and have sided with the corporatocracy . Personal, familial, communal health and wellness are our responsibility. If you want to be healthy, stop eating so much junk food, increase your intake of plant based foods, get your rest, relax and detox your system, practice meditation, exercise regularly and make healthy living your top priority. Remember McKinley and Roosevelt won in 1900 and they did nothing to bring about national health insurance or universal health care. If history holds true, Obama won’t either.-30-</div>
