The Obama Health Care Plan will be
devastating for the American people. What we really need is a Single
Payer System that insures no health care for Illegal Aliens and which
completely legalizes Marijuana under the MERP Model so that the sick and
poor can have a competing medicine that is completely free of government
taxation or regulation.
The Problem
The Solution
The Role Of Marijuana in Health Care
The Problem:
Getting health care "right" is
certainly one of the most important things that government needs to do
in order to insure the health and security of the American People.
Unfortunately much of the debate has been censored by the Obama
administration and the Mainstream Media (MSM) who both serve the
interests of a
transnational global elite. Fortunately the American People
are beginning to understand the underlying "demonic" intentions of both
as evidenced by the recent town hall meetings on health care during the
Congressional recess. And if you listen carefully the larger
issue, looming in the minds of the American People, is that the
government no longer represents the interests of the people.
At one of these meetings a 35 year
old women put it into perfect perspective:
"I don't believe this is just about
health care. It's not about TARP. It's not about left or right. It's
about the systematic dismantling of this country. I'm only 35 years old.
I've never been interesting in politics. You have awakened the sleeping
giant. We are tired of this. This is why everybody in this room is so
ticked off. I don't want this country turning in to Russia . . . "
What she is eluding to are a plethora
of policies, on the part of the last seven administrations, beginning
with President Carter. And every one of these politicians have
been hand picked by a global elite under the tutelage of globalists such
as Brzezinski and Kissinger. And while I don't completely agree
with commentators such as, Glenn Beck, David Ickes, Alex Jones etc., I
have to agree that they have added much more to the public discourse
than the entire Mainstream Media combined. Something terrible is
in the offing for the American People and it appears that the American
People are beginning to notice. That is why there is so much anger
at these town hall meetings.
Why is the government building 800
internment camps? Why, for the first time in US history do we have
30,000 US military on US soil to thwart civil unrest? Why have the
last 7 presidential administrations put in place plans to institute
"martial law" in the United States. Why do we see Posse Commitatus
systematically being disassembled?
What does all of this have to do with
the health care issue?
Let me give you my own "thumb nail"
sketch focusing specifically on health care.
Between 1948 and 1964 there was a
huge increase in birthrates in the United States that we now refer to as
the "Baby Boom." In 2007 the first of these "baby boomers" reached
the age of 60 making them potentially eligible to collect on the various
entitlement programs: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security etc.
While they were young these "pay as you go" programs created huge
amounts of revenue for these programs because, at that time, they had
little need for acute health care (e.g., hip replacements, knee
replacements, cancer treatments, long term disabilities etc.).
This created more than enough funding to take care of the older
generation which was much smaller in size to that of the "baby boomers."
Unfortunately instead of putting the surplus money aside your
congressional representatives allowed the remaining funds to be funneled
into the federal budget each and every year. So instead of keeping
a "lock box" with your retirement funds they stole your money and put a
worthless IOU note in the box.
So now that the "baby boomers" are
beginning to retire the ponzi scheme could no longer be hidden.
There is no money left in the "lock box" meaning that the only way to
make up for this deficit is to raise taxes to astronomical levels and to
also restrict access to heath care. In short, the "baby boomers,"
and the generations following them, have been "screwed."
Making things far worse is a
confluence of other factors that are quickly moving us toward the
epicenter of a perfect storm. Some of these include:
* Wealth redistribution from the
working class to the investment class through "ponzi scheme" bubbles
such as the S&L crisis (1987), the "Dot Com" crisis (March 2000) and the
"Housing Crisis" (2007).
* Erosion of real worker income through the offshoring of our
manufacturing base; outsourcing of American jobs to third world
countries that both support and enforce "slave wages,"
* Insane immigration policies that provided de facto suspension of our
immigration laws so that 12 to 20 million Legal and Illegal immigrants
could pour into this country in order to depress both American wages and
benefits.
And all of this was made possible by
what I would call an "unholy trinity" composed of government, business
and media. Since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913
control of all three of these entities has slowly fallen into the hands
on the international banking elite. And the "perfect storm" was
engineered by the very same scum bags. In an analogy to Tolkien's
"Lord of the Rings" it is the international banking elite that now
control all of the rings of power.
And the "coup
de grāce" is just around the corner: the coming derivatives bubble
which now holds between 500 Trillion and 1000 Trillion in "toxic
worthless assets." Just for perspective consider that all of the
assets on the entire planet are worth less than 140 Trillion dollars.
And this is exactly why thinking
American Citizens are so worried right now. So over the past few
months Obama has tried to push forward a new health care plan which he
insists is going to be wonderful for everyone. But there is plenty
of reason to be suspicious. First of all he occasionally throws in
that one of the goals for this plan to be "budget neutral," meaning that
there must be sufficient taxes available to pay for the program.
So how is he going to perform that trick without raising taxes or
reducing health care benefits?
As much as I detest the philosophical
inconsistency of
Glen Beck I think he is right when he argues that this will be done
by reducing benefits to the elderly, the infirm and the politically
weak: just like Hitler did. Before you call both of us crazy I
implore you to read the transcript of his recent show addressing this
very topic:
Then there is Obama's employment of
"purple shirt" SEIU thugs that have actually beaten Obama's health care
opponents at recent town hall rallies. In the following video I
want to make clear that I think unions have been good for the American
working class. But everything else said is spot on:
Is there really much difference
between Hitler's "brown shirts" and Obama's "purple shirts?"
The bottom line is that Obama is
serving the very interests that truly put him into the Oval Office and
those interests were not coming from donations of American Citizens.
Instead his funding came from the very people he is now representing:
the banking interests, the Pharmaceuticals, the Insurance Industry, the
Prison Industrial Complex and the Military Industrial Complex.
To give you a brief idea as to who
Obama is sleeping with these days just consider the following article by
William Greider that discusses Obama's "deal" with "big pharma" on
health care:
This is the bottom line of Obama's
health care plan. It will not separate health insurance from your
employer which means that when Obama replaces your job with foreigners,
or sends your manufacturing plant to China, you won't have access to
health care. And this accounts for about 50 percent of the
bankruptcies in the United States. It won't get rid of the 15 to
30 percent of your health care dollar which now goes to the health
insurance industry. It will most definitely result in the
reduction in health care access to older American workers. And
worst of all Obama is using this plan as part of his agenda to give
health care to the 12 to 20 million Illegal Aliens that corporate
America has allowed to slither into this country and reduce our wages
and benefits. So the much younger Illegal Aliens, and visa
overstays, will get increased health care coverage, while the older
legal American Citizen is left to wither away and die.
Is this the change you voted for in
November 2008?
It is also worth mentioning that,
while most of the protesters at the town hall meetings were
independents, about 20 to 30 percent were there to lobby against Single
Payer Healthcare. And there is no doubt that these people were
well funded by the banking interests, the Pharmaceuticals, the Insurance Industry, the
Prison Industrial Complex and the Military Industrial Complex.
The Solution:
And that brings us to the part of the
essay where I discuss a better health care plan.
I envision a form of "Single Payer
Healthcare" that includes the following provisions:
* It must be completely independent
of the work place. In other words your health insurance should no
longer be tied to your place of employment and if you are unemployed you
should still have full access to health care. This should
eliminate the 50 percent of bankruptcies due to loss of health
insurance.
* It must be implemented in such a way that no illegal immigrants or
visa overstays get any coverage whatsoever. To make this stick I
suggest a complete moratorium on all immigration into the United States.
I would also insist that every worker in the United States is put
through the E-Verify system to determine if they are Illegal Aliens or
Visa Overstays. Of course both are essentially Illegal Aliens.
Not only will this reduce the overall cost of health care -- it will
also free up between 8 and 20 million jobs for Legal American Citizens.
* Both "chain migration" and "anchor baby" programs should be
immediately ended. And those that came here through "chain
migration" should be made to prove that the relative that "got them
here" really is a relative through non-invasive genetic testing through
mouth swabs of both relative and immigrant. All those that fail
should be biometrically identified, in case they return, and deported
within 6 months.
* Marijuana should be completely legalized under the MERP Model so that
Marijuana can freely compete with Pharmaceutical drugs in order to
reduce their costs. Vaporizers and Marijuana foods should be
recommended in order to minimize the amounts of the combustible organic
matter that ends up accumulating in the lungs of smokers.
* Regulation of Tobacco is unnecessary and Obama's recent move to put it
under the discretion of the FDA is a joke as they are nothing but
"whores" for the Pharmaceutical Industry. Years ago Surgeon
General Sir Evertt Koop revealed that 95% of the lung cancer, from
cigarettes, was due to the radioactive Polonium-240 which is found in
the phosphate fertilizer used in tobacco production. Instead we
should immediately look for solutions to remove this substance from the
tobacco. We should also investigate alternative smoking solutions such
as "electronic cigarettes" and "vaporizers," both of which would
eliminate nearly all of the combustible organic matter that ends up
accumulating in the lungs of smokers.
Here is a great summary of why we
need a Single Payer Health Care System in the United States:
Every month another 14,000
Americans lose their health care or are denied coverage for a specific,
often life-saving procedure, even though they have paid for their
insurance. This continues to occur while the Congress "debates" the
merits of the single-payer option.
So what do the Democrats holding town hall meetings and the mobs trying
to disrupt the meetings have in common? No matter which side wins,
millions of Americans will still go without coverage, hundreds of
thousands will go into financial ruin over health-care costs, and
insurance CEOs will laugh their way to the bank.
Don't be fooled by President Obama's plan for "mandates" and promises of
a "public option," which mean continued skyrocketing health-care costs
and huge taxpayer-funded subsidies to insurance companies; the public
option has been taken off the table.
The only real solution is the single-payer plan, which covers every
American regardless of income, age or prior medical condition.
Under single-payer, physicians and patients make decisions about medical
care, not government or corporate bureaucracies, and everyone can choose
his or her own health-care provider. Single-payer will save billions of
dollars, because it eliminates the administrative costs, waste and high
CEO salaries of for-profit health insurance.
Single-payer could be Congress's gift to working people and businesses
alike. Single-payer will boost the economy by relieving businesses of
the costly burden of providing health benefits.
Whether the Obama plan passes or Republicans get their way and no
health-care reform is passed, insurance companies will win and the
American people will lose. The health of the American people is more
important than corporate profits. Let's make health-care a right for
everyone and pass HR 676, the single-payer bill. For more information,

To beter understand the concept of
"Single Payer Health Care" I would highly recommend the following
Wiki article on the subject. I would also recommend that you read
through the citations within the article:
Many of you are probably rolling your
eyes right now. "What the heck does
Marijuana have to do with health care?"
Well, despite the fact that our
government doesn't acknowledge Marijuana as a medicine it is, in fact,
human kinds earliest medicine. And despite all of the government
deceit the American People have felt so strongly about this that we now
have 13 states where "the people" have voted to make sure the sick had
at least some access to Medical Marijuana. I made a live video in
2008 which gives a brief introduction to Marijuana's origins in human
culture:
In terms of
medicine Marijuana has been shown to have application as a
analgesic, a palliative and has also been shown to be efficacious in the
treatment of many diseases including: glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, wasting away
syndrome, cancer and cerebral palsy. For more information on this
I would recommend reading through the following article and all included
citations:
More recently Rick Simpson has
been "illegally" treating many ailments with a concentrated tincture of
Marijuana with what can only be described as "incredible results."
You can watch the first part of the video series on this through the
video below.
So the main purpose of legalizing
Marijuana is to allow it to compete in the free market against against
the pharmaceutical industry which has long been dead set against
legalization for this very reason.
Unfortunately the moneyed drug reform
organizations (NORML, DPA, MPP) have been attempting to usher in what I
refer to as "Government Marijuana Dispensaries" under a "tax and
regulate" model that most closely resemble the current model for hard
liquor. In this model you will be able to purchase Marijuana from
these GMD's at prices that will probably range from between $300 to $500
an ounce: the same price found on the "streets" in the black market
economy. The corporate controlled media has aided this effort with
such cable specials as "Marijuana Nation" and "Marijuana Inc."
Not only will this make the
government your new Marijuana "Drug Dealer" but it will not allow the
sick access to free medicine. You can read about how this is
progressing by reading the following article by Marijuana phobic Rachel
Ehrenfeld:
NIDA's solicitation for
marijuana growth for research is nothing new. Marijuana studies have
been conducted over decades, and thousands of them document the adverse
effects of this controlled (illegal?--its not controlled yet) substance.
Yet, now, for the first time, the government is soliciting organizations
that can grow marijuana on a "large scale," with the capability to
"prepare marijuana cigarettes and related products ... distribute
marijuana, marijuana cigarettes and cannabinoids, and other related
products" not only for research, but also for "other government
programs."
Since when is the U.S. government in the business of distributing
marijuana cigarettes? Is this part of the health care programs the Obama
administration is so keen to enforce?
So while I basically think Ehrenfeld
is "clueless," when it comes to drug policy, she is spot on in seeing
that this GMD system will definitely make the government our new
Marijuana "drug dealer." And why would we ever want to allow
the same scum bats, that have been busting us, for the last 71 years, to
now become our new drug dealer: selling us medicine at a price that most
of the sick will not be able to afford? What is far more troubling
is that many "activists" are taking the bait in thinking that this is
the only solution.
It is also worth mentioning the NORML
has done very little to criticize the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) for
the great "bait and switch." You see, up until Michigan became the
13th state to Legalize Marijuana, for Medical Use, all patients and
caregivers were able to grow at least 12 plants in order to self
cultivate their own medicine. But Kampia, of MPP, has been the
sponsor of most of the medical initiatives passed by the American People
since Proposition 215 was passed in 1996. But there pending
initiative in Nevada will prohibit self cultivation unless the patient
lives more than 25 miles from a dispensary. Obviously no one will
be able to self cultivate once enough GMD's are in place.
It is my hope that none of these
organizations -- NORML, MPP or DPA -- receive any more donations once
this becomes more widely known.
But there is a far better solution
that will not only provide free medicine to the sick and poor. It
will also destroy the drug cartels and put an end to the police busting
in your doors in the middle of the night to make sure you aren't growing
any Marijuana in your home. It is also worth considering that many
medical growers are now in jail for growing more than their "12 plant"
allotment. The better solution is the MERP Model that essentially
treats Marijuana in the same way we treat the home production of beer
and wine, which is neither "taxed or regulated."
You can watch some of the videos I
have produced on the MERP Model below:
You can also read what I have written
about the MERP Model at the link below:
The Obama Health Care plan will only
promulgate the present status quo and will continue to enrich the
"Medical Insurance Complex" ( Health insurance, Pharmaceutical interests
etc.) at the expense of the American People. You will still be
unable to afford health insurance if Obama sends your job abroad or
allows one of the 1.5 million Legal Immigrants, that Obama continues to
let in each year, to take it from you. And the dirtiest secret of
all is that Obama is working with the global elite to push older
American workers to the curb and displace them with far younger Legal
and Illegal Immigrants. Provisions in the current health care
bill, to do nothing to assess citizenship, shows that both Obama and
Congress have no problem with pushing you out of your job and your
access to health insurance. Fortunately, the angry citizenry, at
these town hall meetings indicate that the American People are beginning
to wake from their slumber. And it could not happen faster should
we want to stop this globalist agenda in its tracks.
Legalizing Marijuana, under the MERP
Model, will assure that the poor have access to Marijuana for free if
they choose to self cultivate. It will also provide competition
against the bloated Pharmaceutical Industry which has been a major
contributor to "anti-Marijuana" organizations such as DARE and
Partnership for a New America.
My proposals for Health Care and
Marijuana Re-Legalization are both planks of a larger agenda known as
the "New Agenda for America."
NEW AGENDA FOR AMERICA: Preliminary
Planks
(1) Universal Health Care for All American Citizens
(2) A 20-year moratorium on all immigration into the United States
(3) Legal Marijuana for all Adults and Medical Patients
(4) An immediate reversal to the Offshoring and Inshoring of American
Jobs
(5) A strict enforcement on issues of Separation of Church and State
(6) An immediate move from so-called Free Trade Agreements to Bilateral
Trade agreements
(7) A major R&D project to bring energy independence to the United
States and the World through recycling, reuse, ending hyper-consumerism
and investing in the development of sustainable energy sources (e.g.,
solar, photovoltaic, wind, geothermal)
(8) No further ownership of US Assets (businesses, homes, ports, stock
exchanges) by foreign governments or individuals!
(9) Replace the Federal Reserve with a People's Reserve which allows
public oversight
(10) Absolute support for Net Neutrality
You can learn more about this agenda
at the following link:
Finally I am seriously considering a
"write in" candidacy to defeat Obama in 2012. Please send me an
email if you would like to assist in this effort. I am 55 years
old, have been married for over 33 years and fully support your right to
grow all of the Marijuana you wish to grow. You can help
start this process by posting the following graphic on your website,
Facebook page, MySpace page etc.
Please send the link to
activists throughout the planet. The translation bar should allow
this to be read in any language. The 5-Point Strategy for
Marijuana Re-Legalization should be easy to implement in any country
throughout the planet. I encourage all groups celebrating the
Global Marijuana March to make the immediate implementation of the MERP
Model a primary focus of the event.
Call President Obama and your Representatives and demand:
(1) Immediate clemency for Marc Emery and
(2) Immediate implementation of the MERP Model through an Emergency
Session of Congress, similar to what was used to pass the TARP Bailout
on October 3rd, 2008
