Compulsory insurance premiums represent the privatization of taxes. Talk about taxation without representation. How would a personal expense mandated by the government be any different than a tax? The burden is contributed toward the common good, but administrated privately. While oversight might fall to civil service regulators, nowhere is an elected official part of the loop. They’re privatizing the public sector: the military, the utilities, the media, the schools, the Postal Service, and of course they’re after Social Security. Taxpayers pay for the social safety net. Making them pay health insurance premiums is to privatize their taxes.

MANITOU SPRINGS- Sept 30, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway delivered 78 to the summit, at 14,110 ft, for the world’s highest yogic spiral.

Since a member of the House of Representatives made a very simple and direct chart outlining the Republican “plan” (charitably so-called, because they don’t have one) which is: Don’t get sick, or if you do get get sick, Die Quickly.

This post is for the Clueless Woman last week who raced up behind me in a parking loot honking her horn loudly. I immediately pulled to a stop and waved to her as she raced on by, all the while talking on her phone without even a glance in my direction. Your ‘multi tasking’ is impetuous and foolish, Clueless Woman. Report: Nearly 6,000 deaths connected to driver distraction Get off the cellphone and save your own life!

Are you represented by a US senator? I doubt it. Today the Senate Finance Committee rejected Public Option amendments to the health care reform legislation; continued to vilify ACORN based on fraudulent accusations hyped the MSM; and thirty two senators signed a letter drafted by AIPAC, to urge Secretary of State Clinton to block further investigation of Israel for its crimes in Gaza based on the findings of the Goldstone Report.

Here are a few troubling images of the G-20 protests in Pittsburgh, where police brutality insulated the globalist ministers from the anti-capitalist demonstrations.
 
Look at this smile. Next time they’re eulogizing a policeman killed on the job, or the city proposes changing a street name to commemorate a fallen officer, think about this image. A Pittsburgh cop does not conceal a fiendish grin as he throws tear gas canisters at the G-20 protesters.

DISTRESS SIGNAL

The US government is a government that engages in illegally holding and torturing its own captive Prisoners of War, and is guilty of illegally invading and occupying at least 2 countries, Afghanistan and Iraq. Further, with the harassment of Najibullah Zazi who is a vulnerable Afghan immigrant to the US, the US government is now moving into yet new ventures of manipulating its criminal code in order to justify its own growing illegality worldwide.

The G20 protests gave the US National Security State a platform to introduce its newest torture device since the introduction of the taser.

President Obama came into office with quite a checklist:
Stop war-making,
Close Guantanamo,
End renditions/torture,
Rescind the Patriot Act,
Restore the rule of law,
Address global warming,
Reform US health care,
Re-regulate bankers,
Talk to Iran, and doubtless many other items, including
Secure the 2016 Olympics for Chicago.
 
Are his handlers staking the measure of his success on the last one?

The entire liberal Left US community has been totally silent as Barack Obama and his FBI go about framing up Afghan immigrant to the US, Najibullah Zazi. The corporate daily press of our country has been non-stop trying Zazi in public using the FBI’s lurid Hollywood style scripts for its material. And yet, all the liberal and Left groups in the US have remained silent about all of this with nary a whisper about it all! Why?

Three months as Barack Obama passively supports a military coup in Honduras and the people there have been radicalized as never before. Here is video from yesterday’s protests as the G20’s thugs in Honduras see their grip on power beginning to slip away! 90 días de resistencia en Honduras The same militaristic repression as is seen in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is there also in Tegucigalpa and throughout the country of Honduras.

Obama is out there at the Pittsburgh G20 assembly pretending that the world depression is over and that ‘tough’ new regulations are the reason why, while the local Chamber of Commerce is pretending that Pittsburgh is now the model city ‘recovering’ from Rust Belt malaise! Who are they trying to kid? Meanwhile the US Police State is having one of their usual field days at the G20 get together as their crushing fire power is turned on those in dissent from the official line.

Activist scholar David Barsamian visited Colorado Springs yesterday to speak on Afghanistan and raise money for the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission. Barsamian was his usual gracious and erudite self but the PPJPC can’t even embarrass themselves. At one point in his presentation, Barsamian talked of encountering a Vets For Peace participant, who’d been an active PPJPC member. “You remember Brian?” He asked the group, as if relating a greeting from an old friend. Blank stares all around. Barsamian scanned the room until his eyes reached Tony and I, demonstrably nodding our heads. “Of course you do” chided Barsamian, as he moved on. What a pathetic lot.

So were most of the people he murdered. Just, you know, sayin’ is all. Same way with the Crusades and the Reformation. I know that wouldn’t get me invited to speak at any church in Colorado Springs.
Neither would anything Jesus actually said, so I’m in good company.
