Frank Herbert Quote
If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.
Another long read, but what the hell, why not …
We created Islamic extremism: Those blaming Islam for ISIS would have supported Osama bin Laden…
Jingoists conveniently forget the West’s Cold War strategy was to arm the Islamic extremists that became al-Qaida VIDEO
“Jihadist #1: Are you ready to proceed with the plan?
Jihadist #2: I *was*, until Trump shut down our mosque.”
I stole that one from twitter …
ISIS is the enemy you say? People are too dumb to understand that ISIS was America’s last best hope to prevent Iranian hegemony across the Middle East … Outchessed again … And they say Obama was the smart warmonger …

You have to keep in mind, this was always the plan. Nationalization of health care can’t happen overnight.
First the government promises to subsidize for-profit private ownership of service providers. Then when the for-profit private ownership of service providers fails to be sufficiently subsidized to generate a profit and the business exits the service market, the government will ride in on its white horse to save the health care market by declaring a failure of capitalism and providing full nationalization of the health insurance market.
If you’re a socialist democrat, this is great news for you.

“UnitedHealth Group Inc. has scaled back marketing efforts for plans sold to individuals this year and may quit the business entirely in 2017 .. The company also cut its 2015 earnings forecast.
““We cannot sustain these losses,” Chief Executive Officer Stephen Hemsley told analysts on a conference call. “We can’t really subsidize a marketplace that doesn’t appear at the moment to be sustaining itself.””
“Customers the company has added have tended to use more medical care. UnitedHealth also said today that some people are signing up for coverage, getting care and then dropping their policies.”
““If one of the largest and presumably, by reputation and experience, the most sophisticated of the health plans out there can’t make money on the exchanges, then one has to question whether the exchange as an institution is a viable enterprise,” Skolnick said.”
UnitedHealth May Quit Obamacare Market in Blow to Health Law
The U.S.’s biggest health insurer is considering pulling out of Obamacare, a month after saying it would expand its presence in the program.
The real terror threat is human ignorance. I will sadly admit that these terrorists have won since I too have allowed them to contaminate my hope for change.
