AN ORWELLIAN PIG - DICK CHENEY

AND AN ORWELLIAN IDIOT - GEORGE W. BUSH

George Orwell's epic classic, "1984," is a MUST READ for every American who can put down his or her beer can. For that matter, it's a must read for everyone who knows how to read.

Only then, will the reality of how the world operates become clear. Some readers may think of North Korea, Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, or other scamming countries. That's simply not enough. This great work depicts how power operates on a political level in ALL countries.

The expose' now taking place about the Bush/Cheney years in the White House is a clear description of power usurpation by monied elites. As this scabrous drama unfolds, the useless deaths of thousands of American soldiers and the repulsive nature of religious fundamentalism allied with the arms merchants of the world and the oil mogul states and companies driven by profit motives can only make the vomitous years of that American presidency bloodier and bloodier.

I hereby promise to purchase "1984" for anybody who requests it.

NEW YORK TIMES HEALTH CARE REPAIR

The New York Times editorial board is as obtuse about health care repair as the rest of the country’s citizens.

In its lead editorial on July 7, 2009 titled, “Financing Health Care Reform” that ran about twenty-four column inches, not a single mention was made of the insurance companies that are the prime culprits responsible for the existing health care mess.

Though the percentages vary from analyst to analyst, it is reasonable to state that the insurance companies suck approximately twenty-five cents out of every dollar spent on health care in the United States. In fighting this travesty, other legal and illegal money-sucking activities are committed by entities involved in providing health care of various kinds. The insurance companies and their fellow criminals, the pharmaceutical companies, are the reason that the United States tops the list for health care cost and is TWENTY-FOURTH IN THE WORLD in providing health care.

Everyone, including our president, talks about health care “coverage” and “insurance.” They do not address the core idea of health care DELIVERY.

And the insurance industry has convinced the American People that they for sure don't want government telling THEM who should treat them or telling THEM what they need in the way of health care. NO! The American People should want the INSURANCE INDUSTRY telling them what, when, and where, and especially IF they should get health care. The INSURANCE INDUSTRY WILL TAKE BETTER CARE OF THEM THAN THE GOVERNMENT!! HOO HA! Are the American People dopes and dupes, or what?

Health care is as essential for the population as roads and red lights. The government provides roads and red lights. No one complains. Let the government do its job of providing health care. Get the insurance companies to stop sucking from the teats of the health care provider industry. GET THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY OUT OF HEALTH CARE!!!

IRAN - JULY - 2009 - EXPECTATIONS AND PREDICTIONS

IRAN - JULY -2009 EXPECTATIONS AND PREDICTIONS

The news and the information coming out of Iran relating to the recent election create blaring warning signals for the world. The establishment of a militaristic theological state that benefits the military and theological establishments seems an ordered future for Iran. With the creation of atomic capability in this closed society, the world is threatened with an atomic catastrophe that will make Hiroshima and Nagasaki seem like firecrackers.

The first victim of this “new order” will be Israel, of course. Now desperately attempting to create a rocket response barrier to annihilation while also trying to convince the world of imminent danger to established order, Israel is in the position of Chicken Little running around claiming the heavens are falling because of the acorn that fell on her head. But Ehud Barack is no Chicken Little. The intelligence apparatus renowned for its high capability is sounding a reasonable alarm.

Yet, what can the world do? The effete United Nations has shown both its ineffectiveness in conflict situations and its bias against Israel that results from the preponderance of anti-Israel Arab and Muslim nations who vote anti-Israel knee-jerk resolutions ad infinitum. The sordid story of Palestinian victimhood at the hands of their Arab brethren who point to Israel as the source of their calamitous existence is expanded to tie the hands of the world peace body even when the very existence of their states and their peoples is threatened by this atomic threat.

Iran will have its way with the world, having learned well the lessons taught by that theatrical state, Korea. The difference appears to be that with all its pomposity and swagger, Korea recognizes that its geographical position has placed it at China’s and the world’s mercy. Iran believes that it possesses a magic formula of geographic and maritime location and oil in the ground that will someway impress rational nations and prevent them from intruding on its nefarious plans to “only” eradicate Israel as an example of its machismo, in defiance of civilized functioning.

I predict that Israel will be forced to act, as it did in 1967, preemptively, to assure its continued existence. In some bizarre way and for some inscrutable reason, the world is forcing it to do so without support. In addition, the world will turn on Israel for doing the world’s work.

The trigger that sends the bullet on its way will be the murder of Iranis who dared to challenge the military-theocratic complex.
