39. IRS Fraud

On September 24, I started a blog which was severely critical of the Obama / Democrat health care plan (DeathPill.Blogspot.com ).

On the day after Thanksgiving, I received a certified letter from the IRS informing me that I owe $227,741 for the year 1978.  This figure comprises $107,992 in interest and $120,749 in taxes.

The letter threatened to levy my assets if I did not pay up.

This letter from the IRS is false and fraudulent.  I do not owe $120,749 in taxes for the year 1978.

That amount is approximately three times my total income for the year in question.

The IRS Code has no provision for assessing a tax of 300% of a taxpayer's total gross income for the year 1978.

The IRS letter is false and fraudulent on its face  It is an attempt to extort money that I do not owe.

SUMMARY

I assert:

--  I do not owe $120,749 for the year 1978.

--  The tax alleged is approximately three times my total grosss income for 1978.

--  The IRS Code has no provision allowing assessment of $120,749 income tax for 1978 on my income.

--  The IRS cannot prove that I owe $120,749 in income taxes for 1978.

--  The IRS has falsified my "tax liability" for 1978.

--  The "interest" assessed on the basis of this erroneous tax is inherently incorrect.

--  This IRS letter is an unlawful attempt to extort money from me which I do not owe.

--  There may be RICO activity involved here.

--  In view of the false and fraudulent nature of the assessment and the demand for payment, the IRS should abate this "tax and interest".

38. Purely Personal Stuff

Last night I woke up with a terrible pain in my lower back.  I could not get out of bed.  The pain was unbearable.  It hurt to move.  It hurt to not move. 

I had to get to the medicine cabinet, eight feet away.  It hurt unbearably to stand up.  It hurt unbearably to walk.  I was screaming with every step I took.  I hate to admit it -- I was screaming with pain. 

The bottle of Aleve had a "child-proof" closure.  I couldn't work it.  I couldn't read the directions for working it.  Government burocrats had made it impossible for me to get relief.  I screamed.

I needed something like codeine, and I nooded it bad.  But of course there was no way I could get codeine, though I was screaming with intolerable pain.  Government burocrats had declared codeine to be a prescription drug, and there was no doctor to write a prescription at that time of night.  I could not buy the medicine I so desperately needed, on the free market, because the freee market no longer exists in the 'land Of The Free".  So I screamed, and it didn't help at all.

Do you think you will be able to get pain killers under government controlled medicine ?  Just beacuse the Great Polished Liar mentioned it as an alternative to real medical treatments [Blog 1 and 2] ?  Well, if the government rationers decide that it is "good for society, you may be left without pain killers too, to scream your way to death, as a "socially useless" person.

By whose standards?   Obama's.  E. Emanuel's [Blog 24].  By the standards of all the political pragmatists who think that the individual should be sacrificed to "society".

I found some Ibuprofen, and finally got some relief.  I stopped screaming.

But I can't help wondering how many others will die screaming as a result of the government takeover of all health care.

Government Health Care

37. AMA Endorses Government Take-over

The American Medical Association (AMA), or at least the ones in charge, has endorsed the Pelosi government take-over bill.  THe AMA now supports:

--  Government control of doctors and hospitals.

--  Government control of medical and surgical treatments.

--  Government control of patients.

--  Government control of insurance companies.

--  Government rationing of health care.

--  Government taxation of health necessities.

  Government-induced doctor drain (flight from tyranny, known to readers of "Atlas Shrugged" as "going Galt").

The AMA may now be counted among the organizations working to destroy the American system, wherein the government's proper function is to protect the life, liberty, property, and pusuit of happiness of the individual.  They may now be counted as being among the enemies of freedom.  They have thrown in with the followers of the madmen Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Marx, Hitler, and the other German collectivists.

36. AARP Dumps Seniors

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has come out in favor of nationalizing health care, after dancing around the issue for months [Blog 25].

AARP has betrayed their constituency, the sebiors.  AARP now supports:

--  A 20% cut in Medicare spending.

--  Rationing of care.

--  Discriminating against seniors [Blog 24].

--  Taxation of medical devices such as hearing aids.

--  Creation of 111 new government agencies.

--  Spending of trillions of dollars that don't exist, causing inflation.

--  Government control over doctors and hospitals.

For a beautifully written example of how government control of health care results in destruction of life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness, read "Noble Vision", by Gen LaGreca [Blog 10]..

--  Government control over medical and surgical treatments.

--  Forced participation in government insurance.

AARP seems perfectly willing to sacrifice the interests of their members to such collectivist butchers as E. Emanuel [Blog 24] and the Great Polished Liar [Blog 1 and 2].  It is the pragmatic (unprincipled) thing to do [Blog 32].

AARP is a big business, in insurance (health, dental, auto, etc.) and publications with lots of advertising.

Hitler was able to get the cooperation of some business men for his national socialist (Nazi) regime.  For details, see "The Ominous Parallels", by Leonard Peikoff.

Full disclosure:  I am a member of AARP, solely in order to buy their Medicare-supplement insurance.  If any reader knows of a reasonable alternative, please tell me about it.

34. I Accuse

--  I accuse Pres. Obama of genocide, for proposing a health care scheme that withholds treatment from old people, the vety young, and the disabled. 

--  I accuse Ezekiel Emanuel of promoting a health rationing scheme that withholds care from the elderly, the very young, and the disbled, in favor of age group 15-40.  [Blog 24]

--  I accuse Congress of fraud for proposing a health care bill which requires everyone to buy government "insurance", and rations health care so as to deprive old people, the very young, and the disabled of the very benefits for which they have paid, and will be forced to continue paying.

--  I accuse Obama and his entire regime of sacrificing the life, liberty, property, and pusuit of happiness of the entire American people, by their collectivist policies and legislation.

--  I accuse Obama of giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the American people, by consorting with Chavez, Ortega, Castro, and other tyrannical dictators, and by consorting with advisors who are communists and admitted admirers of Mao, a communist dictator who killed millions of Chinese.

33.  Helloween For Real

A friend sent me a PDF copy of the Pelosi health crime bill.  This is the 1990 page monstrosity that will destroy liberty in America.

Looking at the PDF in Foxit Reader, I felt as if the UPS guy had just delivered a huge crate into my front yard, and the crate contained Frankenstein's Monster.

Pelosi's Monster
1990 Pages Of Contrils And Taxes

The Pelosi monstrosity is 1990 pages of new taxes and controls.  Meanwhile, the Polished Liar is still going on TV, bleating that he won't increase taxes or limit choice.

Pelosi's bill is a burocratic nightmare comparable only to the IRS code in complexity, intrusiveness, and taxes imposed.  But the IRS code took 80 years to reach its present byzantine convolutions.

Aside from crushing liberty, a main effect of the bill will be to provide employment to thousands or millions of lawyers.

When you visit your ObamaCare doctor, the first thing he will have to do is consult the Pelosi Act to find out if it is legal for himn to treat you, and what treatments he is allowed, by the government rationers, to prescribe.

Pelosi's bill is a burcratic horror, evidently crafted by a building full of collectivist-minded hack lawyers, busily hacking away at the roots of the Tree Of Liberty, destroying the freedom of all Americans.

It is a scene that even Franz Kafka could not have imagined.

Nightmare Castle
Where Pelosi Concocts Her Horrors

"You can keep your doctor," croons the Polished Liar.  When your doctor considers this 1990 page recipe for serfdom, which he must consult to learn whether the collectivist rationers will permit him to treat you -- and  he might have to hire a roomful of lawyers to interpret the convoluted regulations -- he just might decide that it isn't worth it, and start planning to move to Australia or Timbuktoo.

Syonara, Doc.

How is Obama going to stop that?  Oh, yes, the Great Emancipator could simply enslave the doctors.  Just get Pelosi to add a few more pages to the bill.

32. Pragmatism & Potatoes

And now for something entirely different.

Opponents of nationalized health care sometimes point to the nationalized systems of England, Canada, Cuba, and elsewhere -- as examples of the disaster, bankruptcy, and misery that such systems have always caused.

On hearing such facts, proponents of nationalized health care sometimes stare in glassy-eyed indifference, totally unmoved by the clear evidence that nationalized health care doesn't work.

Such indifference to facts may be an indication that the person is suffering from pragmatism.

Pragmatism is a philosophy which believes that reality is not real, or that reality is a shapeless, ever-changing goo, that facts don't exist, that existence can by molded by the human wish or will, ignoring or denying or in sptie of facts.

Pragmatists believe that existence cannot be understood by observing facts and drawing reasoned conclusions from facts.

How do pragmatixts operate in the real world?  When they wish to accomplish something, they do not examine the relevant facts of reality.  Instead, they just try something, anything, to see if maybe it will work (produce results in accordance with their wish).  Try what?  Why, just anything -- after all, the pragmatist isn't constrained by facts and has no way of knowing what might work, or not -- because he refuses on principle to consider facts about a reality which he considers to be infinitely changeable and therefore unknowable.

How does this work out in practice?  It usually results in disaster, bankruptcy, and misery.  But not to worry.  The pragmatist believes that maybe the next "experiment" might turn out better.  When human lives are the subject of the "experiment", the results are usually tragic.

For those who are sane enough to be grounded in reality, not fantasy, an example of pragmatism may be helpful.

Over the ages, man has learned a lot about gravity and other laws of nature (facts).  But the pragmatist ignores all such knowledge, on principle.  So how can he possibly act? 

Well, here's the example.  Our pragmatist suddenly feels that it would be very cool if potatoes could fly like birds.  So, ignoring the nature of potatoes and birds, he tosses a potato into the air to see if maybe it will actually fly.  It doesn't.  The pragmatist learns nothing from this.  After all, maybe next time the potato will fly. There is no way for the pragmatist to know (since he ignores the facts that would have given him knowledge). 

So he tries again and again until the potato is destroyed.  And still the pragmatist has learned nothing about potatoes or flying, because he believes that reality and facts do not exist.

Back to nationalized health care and the pragmatist politicians who promote it.

To the pragmatist (politician or citizen), the fact that such schemes have failed miserably wherever and whenever they are tried -- makes no difference.

Because, according to pragmatist doctrinne, maybe -- just maybe -- the potato will fly the next time, and Obama's wishes will have been imposed on a plastic, formless realty, and maybe next time nationalized health care will not result in disaster, bankruptcy, and misery.

But facts are facts. The potato does not fly, and nationalized health care does end in disaster, bankruptcy, and misery.The pragmatist will never be able to  make reality conform to his wish, in defiance of facts.

The pragmatist's attempt to impose his arbitrary wishes upon the facts of reality regarding health care will fail (or succeed, if -- as with Obama -- the perpetrator's wish is to cause disaster, bankruptcy, and misery).

"There is no such thing as truth," said Hitler.

The metaphysics of pragmatism is subjectivism. The epistemology of pragmatism is irrationality. The politics of pragmatism is collectivism.  The ethics of pragmatism is altruism.

Unfortunately, pragmatism has gained broad acceptance in the United States.

Back to the real world.

-- Reality exists.
-- Existence exists.
-- Facts exist.
-- A man is capable of perceiving facts through his senses.
-- Things are what they are.
-- A potato is a potato, and a bird is a bird.
-- Birds fly: potatoes don't.

Perceiving facts and processing them with his rational mind is man's way of dealing with existence, of living, of producing values, of enjoying life.

31. One-Payer In 7 Steps

OK, here's an explanation, in seven easy steps, of  exactly how the "one-payer" health scam will operate:

1. You pay into government insurance all your life (or pay fines or go to jail).

2. You grow old and begin to need some serious health care.

3. You discover that your doctor is working for the government, not for you.

4. You discover that you are now considered too old and "socially useless" to qualify for the care you need.  Government rationers have "attenuated" your health care beyond useless.

Grim Reaper Curve [Blog 24]

5.  You discover that you have spent all of your money on government "insurance", and you have no money left to buy health care on the free market.

6.  You continue buying health insurance that buys you nothing (or you pay fines or go to prison).

7. You die.

30. Duty To Die

Central American aborigines, Aztec, Mayan, Peruvian, etc., are said to have sacrificed virgins, babies, and assorted other innocent victims to their pagan gods.

Who benefitted from this barbarous practice?  Certainly not the victims, who lost their lives.  The intended beneficiaries were the other members of the tribe, who supposedly reaped the approval of the gods.

This barbaric practice is condemned by many modern people, yet some of these same people enthusiastically support such schemes as the Obama health scam.

The Obama scheme is based on exactly the same principle as the Aztec or Mayan ritual of killing virgins. They are both examples of altruism take to the logical extreme. 

Only the specifics are different. The barbarians killed virgins for the benefit of the tribe.  Obama & Co. propose to kill the elderly, the very young, and the disabled -- to benefit the 15-40 age group [Blog 24], or society, or the community, or "complete lives".

Grim Reaper Curve

 

Where is the outcry against this brutally savage violation of the victims' right to life?  Where are the impassioned sermons denouncing the invasion of individual rights?  Are they too embarassed or too afraid to speak out against this logical application of altruism?  Schools, churches, the media, and politicians have been teaching us altruism for a century.  Now it has come home to roost.  How many innocent people must die before we admit that the individual has rights?

Duty to the state cannot reasonably come before self-interest. beacuse the proper function of government is to protect the life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness of the individual. But that is egoism, not altruism.

29. IRS Health Care

Pelosi has rolled out a second version of the House health care scheme.  The first version was 1200 pages.  This version is 200 pages.  The difference?  More regulations, more taxes.

The announcement came with the usual quota of lies:

-- It won't increase the deficit (it will cost trillions)

-- It will increase health care (reduce it by instituting rationing)

-- You can keep your insurance (private insurance will be driven out of business by the non-profit "public option")

-- It won't raise your taxes (the bill is full of new taxes)

-- More and cheaper health care (20% cut in Medicare means less care)

-- Won't impact private insurance companies (it will destroy them)

-- Etc., etc.

The IRS (the most feared agency in the government) is put in charge of enforcing compliance with the health rules, and collection of new taxes:

-- Taxes on employers

-- Taxes on those who don't buy insurance
(and prison sentences)

-- Taxes on those who buy insurance

-- Taxes on insurance companies

-- Taxes on rich people

-- Taxes on "medical devices", including tampons and condoms (Tax toilet paper in Version 3?)

The IRS will control and enforce government health care.

The aim and goal of this health scheme is the destruction of the capitalist economy. It is collectivism in action, enforced by the IRS.  It is what Obama meant by "change".

Welcome to fascist health care.

 

Obey Obama!  Obey Obama!

28. One-Non-Payer Plan

Obama claims at various times to be in favor of a "one-payer" health insurance scheme [Video at Blog 25].  Actually, it is a one-non-payer scheme.

BO advisor on health ratoning Dr. Emanuel [EE] proposes a scheme based on an arbitrary graph (fancifully but accurately dubbed the Grim Reaper Curve).  This scheme rations health care based on age.

Grim Reaper Curve [Blog 24]

If you are lucky enough to be in the 15-40 age bracket, EE would award you "maximum" care -- which depends on how much money is "available".  Note that if the scheme goes broke (like every government project), you get nothing, even though you are in the favored age group of "socially useful" persons.

If you are in the 40-60 year age group,  your health care is "attenuated" (reduced) until at age 60, when you might really, really need it, you get practically nothing.

If you are so unlucky as to be beyond 60, the Grim Reaper Curve "attenuates" you to the category of "socially useless" persons who get Band-Aids, cough syrup, and Tylenol instead of real health care [Blog 1 and 2].  "Let them die", said Robert Reich [Blog 23], and EE's Grim Reaper Curve implements this thought.

Oh, yes, if you are disabled at any age, you are obviously socially worthless and worthy of no care whatsoever, according to EE and BO [Blog 1 and 2]. The same goes for young children [Blog 26].

"One-payer" government insurance will be run by "expert" death committees, who will "no-pay" for large segments of the population.

27. Told You So

Betsy McCaughey blew the whistle on Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel (Dr. Death), Obama's advidor on rationing nationalized health care [Blog 24].  She uncovered the infamous "Reaper Curve", which shows graphically how Dr. Death would have government death committees deny health care to old people and babies, in favor of the 15-40 age group.

Grim Reaper Curve [Blog 24]
(Click to enlarge)

This is not just the mad doctor's nightmare dream.  It is in the Senate bill.

McCaughey has another article, in the New York Post
[ tinyurl.com/ygxs2c9 ] on how the Senate Obamacrats are planning to implement the Ezekiel Grim Reaper Curve.

According to McCaughey, Section 3003(b) (p. 683) of the Senate Finance committee (Baucus) bill "punishes doctors who land in the 90th percentile or above on what they provide for seniors on Medicare by withholding 5 percent of their compensation". That is, a fine for treating their patients.

Also, "The Senate Finance bill establishes a formula that penalizes hospitals for high 'Medicare spending per beneficiary' (Section 2001, p. 643)."  That is, a fine for providing hospital care.

Government controlled health care would require doctors to renounce their Hippocratic Oath to consider the patient's welfare first.  The Baucus bill would penalize ethical action and reward doctors who are subservient to government death committees.

Here we see the ethics of death-wopship (altruism) in all of its naked infamy, sacrificing some patients and doctors for the benefit of others, according to an arbitrary rule concocted by self-righteous "partners with God".

They cannot justify their actions in reason.  They can only impose their rules by force.

26. British Health Care

A British newspaper reports that babies are being born on sidewalks, in taxies, and elsewhere. (Health care has been nationalized in Britain.)

Apparently the British death committe rationers have decreed that maternity hospitals shall be replaced by sidewalks, taxis, hallways, and other pre-existing facilities, as a cost-cutting measure.

Getting back to civilization in the Obama era of fascist health plans, this British phenomenon is right in line with the EE Reaper Curve [Blog 24], which decrees that essentially zero amount of health care  should be allotted to the newborn, who, after all, are socially useless.

25. AARP Dilemma

The AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) tacitly (and not so tacitly) endorses Obama's "plan" to take over and nationalize health care.

This is not surprising, since they have always been a government "front". And like thier Leader, Obama, they don't like criticism.

Video: AARP Town Meeting Brawl

But there is an unintended consequence that the AARP might want to consider.

Obama's health rationing advisor, Dr. E. Emanuel ( Dr. Death) proposes to ration nationalized health care on the basis of age [Blog 24], by means of a chart popularly known as the Reaper Curve.  According to this scheme, persons in the age group of most AARP members would receive little or no health care, beyond the Obama-esque Band Aids, cough syrup, and Tylenol.

Reaper Curve [Blog 24]

As Obama's death committees , guided by the Reaper Curve, kill more and more old people, the membership of the AARP might decline, as the old people slip away into the Nirvana of pain-pill-induced dementia, after retiring to the Obama Killing Salons.

Not to worry.  The AARP can just redefine itself as the association for non-retired persons, AANRP.

24. E. Emanuel, Dr. Death

This is the most important blog that I have posted.  It reveals the plan behind the drive to nationalize health care, and how rationing will be implemented.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel  (EE) is an advisor to Obama on health matters.  He cannot be called the Health Czar, because Nancy-Ann DeParle has that title. He is also health-policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget and a member of the Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research. He is the brother of Rahm Emanuel, Obama's Chief Of Staff.

Perhaps EE should be called the Health Rasputin, for reasons which I will explain.

Emanuel calls himself a "bio-ethicist"; that is, one who concerns himself with the morality of medical activities.  The specific problem which concerns him is the "fair" distribution of government health care (by rationing).

Emanuel sets forth his "bio-ethicist" ideas plainly in an artice, "Principles for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions",  in The Lancet, Volume 373, Issue 9661, Pages 423 - 431, Jan. 31, 2009 [ tinyurl.com/yfemyzh ]  This article was published after Obama's inauguration, so Obama can't credibly claim ignorance of the ideas of his advisor.

A summary of Emanuel's views, by Betsy McCaughey, appears in the Wall Street Journal [ tinyurl.com/kjw6bj ].  According to McCaughey, Dr. Emanuel has fought for a government takeover of health care for over a decade.

In the Lancet article [ tinyurl.com/yfemyzh ], Dr. Emanuel analyzes several schemes to allocate / ration governmnent health care. He concludes that the "fairest" scheme is one which he calls the "complete lives system" [CLS] — which prioritizes younger people who have not yet lived a "complete life".  He does not define "complete life", or explain why this is a valid criterion for his discrination scheme.  In the CLS, EE fancies that he has solved the "bio-ethical" problem.

Emanuel's plan would start with elimination of the Hippocratic Oath [ tinyurl.com/58fbca ], which pledges the doctor to keep the good of the patient as the highest priority, to practice and prescribe to the best of his ability for the good of his patients, and to try to avoid harming them.

Hippocrates

EE wants to eliminate the Hippocratic oath because it pledges the doctor to act for the benefit of the patient.  EE wants the doctor to be an agent of the government, and medicine to be practiced for the "good of society", not the individual.
 
EE illustrates how this depraved, shocking,  and totally evil scheme would "work" by setting forth the specifics of his scheme in a graph.

This graph is known as the "Reaper Curve", though EE does not call it that, and McCaughey  tinyurl.com/kjw6bj  uses the term without attribution. I am proposing an even more appropriate name: the "Grim Reaper Curve".

Here is the graph as EE presents it in The Lancet:  

Emanuel Curve

tinyurl.com/yfemyzh 

The curve shows the relative amount of health care that EE's ghoulish scheme would allocate, as a function of age of the patient. Patients aged 15 to 40 would be allocated the "maximum" amount of health care, while those under 15 or over 40 whould receive
"attenuated" (reduced) amounts of care.  BO has obviously concurred in this scheme [Blogs 1 and 2].

EE compounds his dishonesty by claiming that "allocation by age is not invidious (discriminatory) discrimination" [ tinyurl.com/yfemyzh ].  This is insulting.  The whole purpose of the Reaper Curve is to set forth graphically the different treatments for patients of different ages.  This is discrimination by age, or words have no meaning.

To express EE's proposals -- for rationing health care by age -- with more clarity, I have taken the liberty of drawing in the age limits of 15 and 40, and coloring the regions according to a distinctive pattern.  Here is my revised version of the Grim Reaper Curve:

Grim Reaper Curve, Revised [PS]

 The principle behind the Grim Reaper Curve and the ghoul EE's scheme for government-run health "care" rationing is altruism -- the sacrifice of the individual to the collective ("society"), which means, the sacrifice of some individuals to other individuals.  EE proposes to sacrifice the old, the very young, and the disabled to those in the 15-40 age group.

The Grim Reaper Curve [ tinyurl.com/yfemyzh ]proposed by EE/BO makes it crystal clear that the purpose of forced government "insurance"  (the falsely-named "public option") is to transfer the cost of health insurance from the able-bodied 15-40 age group to the old, the young, and the disabled.  Yes, the old, the young, and the disabled will be forced (fines, prison terms) to pay for the health care of the able-bodied.

And -- the old, the young, and the disabled will be denied health care because they are "socially useless" or have lived "complete lives" [ tinyurl.com/yfemyzh ].  EE/BO propose to give them Band-Aids, cough syrup, and Tylenol instead of real health care [Blogs 1 and 2 ],  Or just "let you die" as Robert Reichstag proposed [Blog 23].

This is monstrous.  This is hideous.  This is altruism carried to its logical horrible extreme.  This is wholly evil.  EE is proposing genocide.  He deserves to be known as Dr. Death.

This is not a health care "plan". It is not even a health care scheme.  It is a health care scam.  It is a system for rationing health care according to the ethics of altruism.  Dr. Death's "bio-ethics" turns ethics on its head, sacrificing the individual for the group, sacrificing some for the benefit of others (the "chosen  -- by EE / BO-- people").

Ethics, rightly understood, is a code of values to guide man's actions for survival, not death.

In Dr. Death's inverted ethics [ tinyurl.com/yfemyzh ], the old, the handicapped, and the very young are sacrificed to the 15-40 age group, those whom Dr. Death considers "socially useful".  This is death-wish ethics.  It is genocide by government decree.  It is ObamiCide. It is completely evil. 

If we value life, it must not come to pass.

Robert Reich, a member of Obama's economic transition advisory board, in a speech in 2007, discussing government health care, said that if you're very old, and care is too expensive, then "we're going to let you die."

This is government health care? No, it is government euthanasia, or genocide, wherein "we" (Reich and his government death committees) will "let you die" to save money.

This is fascist health care. The people are considered as commodities, accounting units, the property of the government, as things to be used for government purposes, as objects that are fit to live only if they are "socially useful".

22. Obama's Commie Brigade

Obama has appointed 30 or 40 "czars". These are commissars who control various parts of the economy, without oversight by Congress, indeed without responsibility to anybody.

Several of these czars have been exposed as communists or communist sympathizers,

Anita Dunn, cazr of communications, has expressed her admiration for her "favorite philosopher", Mao Tze Tung.

Video: Dunn praises Mao

Ron Bloom, OBama's Car Czar, has also expressed admiration for Mao.  He has opined that the free market (capitalism) is "nonsense". http://tinyurl.com/yjp3wlj

Reminder: Mao is the Marxist who imposed communism on China. He is "credited" with killing 40 million or 50 million or 70 million Chinese.  If he is a "philosopher", he is a philosopher of death. Obama's czars found Mao's philosophy of death admirable, and consider America's egoistic freedom to be "nonsense".

Do these czars plan to transform America into communist China?  Do they plan to kill 40-70 million Americans?  This is what they admire.

Van Jones, sometime Green Jobs Czar, was an avowed communist.

There are others among Obama's czars and advisors.

These are the people now running the government -- and the country. With their help, Obama is gradually transforming America into a fascist tyranny. The Obama regime is the Death Pill for freedom.  You have been warned.

21. Flushed Out

Time for some comic relief?

The Washington Post reports that the latest environmentalist crusare is against toilet paper, especially those squeezable two-ply varieties.

Why? Beacuse toilet paper is made from trees (as is most paper), and trees are more valuable to environmentalists than human beings and their right to live a civilized life.

The environmentalists want the government ("big brother") to mandate the use of recycled toilet paper (please don't vomit at this idea).

Don Quixote tilted at windmills.  These fanatics tilt at outhouses. That's progress?  No, toilet paper is progress.  After all, Mohammed used stones, and required his followers to do the same.

Should we take them seriously?  Well, the Washington Post does, and they are the voice of big government.

I say, keep your hands out of my toilet, you perverts and Congressmen (if that is redundant, I am sorry).

Watch your behind.

20. Health Rationing In Florida

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that planners will throw cancer patients, heart patients, etc. out of hospitals as necessary to free up beds for swine flu patients.

So, death committees are already in operation.

Hospitals (death committees) will decide who shall be removed from respirators, based on prognosis.

SUGGESTION: If you have something seriously wrong with you (other than swine flu), stay out of Florida. Because the death committees have been set up and are functioning.

19. Call It A Banana

Pending congressional bills require every citizen to buy health insurance or face an IRS tax or a prison term.

Obama says [Fox News 9-20] that this is "not a tax".

Well, it's money taken by the IRS and used forgovernment purposes

So what should we call it?

A banana?

No. A tax by any other name is still a tax.

And Obama is still a crypto-fascist and a liar.

18. Altruism Runs Amuck

In "What To Call It" [Blog 6] I pointed out that the Obama regime is based on the doctrine of altruism -- service / sacrifice to others is the only moral action (acting in one's own interest is evil).

Here below is a video (professionally made by Obama admirers Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher) in which selected Obama supporters (or actors) proclaim their devotion to altruism.

WARNING: This video may cause nausea and vomiting.

17. Holocaust, American Style

After publishing the startling news that all white babies are "racists" [Blog 11], Newsweek tops it with a cover story proclaiming "The Case For Killing Granny".  [http://tinyurl.com/nr6g87] According to Newspeak Magaine, Granny has a duty to die (or be killed).

This is the USA, not Nazi (national socialst)Germany. Not communist Soviet Russia.

So, a formerly respectable American magazine has now come out in favor of genocide, or at least for legalized murder. Well, they had to support Obama, of course  [Blogs 1 and 2].

Soon we may see Evan Thomas and his fellow ghouls at Newspeak Magazine printing articles extolling the virtues of killing workers to solve the unemployment peoblem, or killing bankers to solve the financial liquidity problem, or killing everybody (except Al Gore)  to solve the global warming problem.

And, dear monsters of the Obamaland black lagoon, please don't oberlook the neat solution proposed by Jonathan Swift .

 Jonathan Swift, Satirist

In his essay, "A Modest Proposal", tinyurl.com/5jxarw  [1729] Swift suggested eating babies to solve the famine problem in Ireland. So back in the more civilized twenty-first centuiry, white babies are all racists [Blog 11] and therefore richly deserve to be eaten.

Bon appetit, Obama (God's partner in matters of life and death. [Blog 5].

16. Hunorous Interlude

Time for another pause while we laugh to keep from crying. Today was the day the comedians hit it big.

The punch line is: Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize, 140 million dollars, and a rubber chicken.

The kicker is: He didn't know he was going to get it. His daughter brought the news from Norway on a sardine boat.

The second kicker: It is also the dog's birthday.
He likes sardines.

So what did Obama do to merit this magnificent prize?  In the words of Saturday Nite Live, Nothing, Nada, Zip.

Well, not exactly.

-- He is Barack Hussein Obama (Mmm, Mmm, Mmm.)

-- He has a gift.

-- He is partner with God.

-- He got elected.

-- He is a Democrat.

-- He promotes appeasment of communism and terrorism throughout the world. Oh, that must be what got him the prize.

Surely these stellar accomplishments are enough to justify giving Obama the prize. At least in the rarified air of Norway.

What about the $140 million?  Not to worry. He assures us that he will give the money to charity.  He has a lot of possibilities.

-- ACORN, to steal elections and break up protest meetings.

-- Jeremiah Wright's church, to preach racism, and hatred of America.

-- Bill Ayres, to buy bombs and trample flags.

After the initial shock, the first thing Obama did was to run to the nearest video camera for a photo op.

Here he surprised everyone by saying one thing that was the truth, for a change.  He said he didn't deserve the prize.

But maybe he actually did deserve it.

-- He consorted with South American communist dictators.

-- He approved Iran's muclear arms actions.

-- He deserted Israel in favor of Islamic terrorism.

-- He delivered Afghanistan to Islamic terrorists.

-- He prpmotes socialism in America.

Enough already.

October 9 should br made a national holiday: the dog's birthday.

Have fun.  Throw up.

15. National Day Of Altruism

In Blog 6, I stated that the Obama regime is based on altruism. Obama continues to demonstrate the truth of that evaluation.

On September 11, the anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Obama called for making September 11 the "National Day Of Service".

In other words, our Leader (Fuehrer / Duce) calls on us to serve the state, as a duty. Remember the Obama proposal for Civilian (forced) Service Corps?

Altruism justifies everything that Obama does, including forced health care insurance and Civilian Slavery Corps.  He has inverted the purpose of government from protection of the individual's right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness, an egoist concept, to making the citizen the servant of the state, an altruist concept.

14. Swine Flu Goes Fascist

 Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary, is demanding that everyone should be forced to take the swine ful vaccine.

As a typical fascist, she cannot stand the sight of a free person making decisions for their own benefit.  This demand for universl compliance is an example of statism, the principle that man's life belongs to the state (i.e., to those who run the state).

This is also a preview of socialized medicine.  Your body will be socialized to suit the whims of the burocratic tyrants.  You can forget about freedom.

Fortunately, the supply of swine flu vaccine is at least temporarily inadequate for carrying out her decree. Supplies are currently being reserved for health workers and school children. Maybe some of the rest of us will temporarily escape the clutches of the HHS flu vaccine  police.

If Obama gets his health scheme rammed thru Congress, none of us will be safe.  None of us wull own our own bodies.  We will be the property of the government.  How does this differ from slavery?  Hitler would be so proud.

13. Lemming Doctors

Lemming Doctors Applaud Tyrant

The Fuehrer descended into the rose garden yesterday, to deliver another of his innumerable pitches for his fascist scheme for nationalizing the health industry.

He was surrounded by a bevy of -- count 'em -- 150 doctors (Obama supporters and contributors) flown in (at taxpayer expense) from everywhere to buttress his pitch.

The doctors were all wearing white coats (some supplied by the White House) so that viewers of the spectacle can know that these were doctors and not thugs from ACORN.

>>>   LATE NOTE. Here is a pic of a White House intern handing out white coats to those doctors who had ignored directions in the invitation to bring their own. Yes, it was a photo op by invitation only. [Pic from New York Post via Glen Beck.]



The media did not ask the doctors if they favored these provisions of the Obama socialist scheme:

--   Less compensation to doctors.

--   Less compensation to hospitals.

--   Burocratic control over hospital equipment.

--   Forced closing of hospitals to save money.

--   Burocratic control of what are "acceptable" treatments.

--   Death committees to deny treatment to save money.

--   Fewer new drugs and treatments.

--   Cancel the Hippocratic Oath.

--   Doctors responsible  to the government, not to the patient.

--   Treatment rationing by burocrats.

--   Mandatory insurance with fines and prison  sentences.

--   Patients age 15 to 40 get preferential access to treatment, at the expense of those younger or older, who get less treatment. [E. Emanuel's "Complete Lives System" (CLS)].

--   Pain pills instead of real treatments. [Blogs 1 and 2]

The assembled doctors enthusiastically applauded the Fuehrer, thus probably indicating their agreement with the above items, as well as the other features of Obama's plan to enslave them.

Would you prefer a doctor who supports the above-listed provisions of socialized ObamaCare, or would you prefer a real doctor, a doctor who looks after your interests, not the dictates of an all-powerful state.

Well, a poll found that 45% of doctors would consider retiring if ObamaCare is enacted. If the real doctors retire, you might not have the above choice.

12. The Ultimate Contradiction

>>>  "There can be no such thing as the 'right' of some men to violate the rights of others."
-- Ayn Rand, "Racism" in "The Virtue Of Selfhishness", page 180 (hc), 131 (pb).

The health care schemes of Obama & Company are a massive violation of rights.

They violate the rights of the individual.

They violate the rights of the doctor.

They violate the rights of the insurance companies.

The violate the rights of the drug companies.

They violate the rights of every business person.

Obama & Company propose to violate the right of everyone -- to freedom of action.

>>>   "Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group (to 'society', to the tribe, the state, the nation) and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests."
-- Ayn Rand, Ibid., page 175 (hc), 128 (pb).

Thus the crypto-fascist (national socialist) regime of Obama & Company tries to force its collectivist health scheme upon us -- in the name of 'society'.

11. My Baby Is A Racist

Time for some more comic relief.

Newsweek Magazine said it, so it must be true. White babies are racists from the age of six months.  I kid you not. This was a cover story in Newsweek.  This inspires hearty guffaws, and  a new traditional ballad:

THE NEWSPEAK RACIST SONG

Your baby is a racist if your baby is white,
Yes, your baby's a racist because he is white,

White babies learn the N-word before they learn their name,
White babies are racists and their white skin is to blame.

Oh, white skin is racist, white skin's a sin,
Gotta get rid of babies with sinful white skin.

*  *  *

Newsweek deserves to be laughed off the news stands for their assertion that "racism" is carried in the DNA, like sex or hair color.

Racism is actually a mental concept. To assert that racism is transmitted thru the DNA is as stupid as the similar theories held by the Soviet biologist Lysenko, and adopted by Stalin. And that is truly racist.

Are the Newsweek pundits so dazzled by Obama's racial heritage that they have completely lost their wits?

A complimentary reminder to the Newsweek "white baby" racists:

>>>  "There is only one antidote to racism: the philosophy of individualism and its politico-economic corollary, laissez-faire capitalism."
-- Ayn Rand, "The Virtue Of Selfishness", page 173 (hc), 128-129 (pb).

10. Reviw of "Noble Vision"

I highly recommend "Noble Vision", by Gen Lagreca. $27.95; Amazon $22.36, used $11.75 to $15,74.

This novel is a beautifully written story with great relevance to current political events and to this blog.

A surgeon has developed a new treatment for restoring damaged nerves. He lives in a State that has "Care-Free", an Obama-like political control of all aspects of health care.

I think you will be fascinated by this doctor's struggle to outsmart the burocrats who want to "kill grandmama" and prevent him from using his discovery.

Read this book.  If you don't like it, I'll buy it from you.

9. Lies, All Lies?

In his grandiose oration to the combined houses of Congress, the American people, citizens of the world, wherever they may be
[September 8], President Obama laid to rest one nagging question.

He stated emphatically that it is a lie that his health care plan envisioned killing old people to save money.

OK, that's good to know.

But can we trust him?


On June 24 and again on August 11. Obama stated his opinion that old people should be denied treatment and instead be given pain killers, to save money. [Blogs 1 and 2].

Either he is a liar or death committees are not in his "plan".  Which is it? Since no "plan" exists [Blog 4], it is hard to tell. Shoulg we trust our lives to a possible liar?

8. Don't Kill Grandmama

Obama's gruesome suggestion that old people -- including his grandmother -- should be denied treatment, given pain pills, and left to die, to save money [Blogs 1 and 2] is well documented.

Now, that grisly proposal has been admirably memoialized in a video with a catchy tune called "Don't Kill Grandmama!".  Don't miss it.

>>> Late note: YouTube responds with "Removed by user". Too bad this song got killed.

Then there is the immortal ballad, "Old People", by Paul Shanklin (white comedian). Click to play here:



Obama said: "I have become a symbol of America returning to our best traditions." I strongly doubt that killing old people is one of America's "best traditions".

Rather, these two musical memorials to Obama's infamy deserve to remain in the popular reportory as long as "Battle Hymn Of The Republic".

7. Control Is Sweet

Is it too strong to sat that Obama is going for total power over our lives? [Blog No. 4]

The Baucus (Dem.) Senate bill contains a provision to tax beverages that contain sugar. Tax laws in a health care bill? Obama may have proposed it too. [NY Times op ed by Michael Pollan, September 9, 2009].  Did I say total power?

The crypto-fascist excuse, for putting this outrageous new tax into the health care bill, is probably that sugar is unhealthy. According to the crypto-fascist viewpoint, nobody should be allowed to do anything that might make them unhealthy, because that might cost the government some (of your) money.

So drinking Coke or Pepsi or Mountain Dew might make you obese, which might lead to diabetes, don't you know. So now the federal sugar police , followed by the goons from the IRS, aim to influence what we drink. Oh yeah, total power!

What.s next in Obama's crypto-fascist USSA? A tax on fats? Because they make you fat (maybe). A tax on protein? Protein might strain the kidneys, or something. Better sic the IRS on it. Saves money in the long run, you know.

All foods are made up of sugars (carbs), fats, and proteins (and water).So a tax on those components is a tax on all foods, from Coke to crackers to codfish. The IRS could control what everyone eats (and how much).

Talk about power!  Closing down all hamburger and fries dispensaries is surely power.  And dictating who lives and dies, by way of a phony "health" bill [Blog No. 5] -- now that's real, real power.

This power-grab could also solve the supposed population problem (some Obama appointees believe that the world's problems are caused by too many people). All that is necessary is to starve everybody, and the awkward problem of how to get rid of old people is solved automatically. Damned clever, Obama.

But we expect nothing less from God's partner in life and death [Blog No. 5]. God would certainly be very proud to think that his little crypto-fascist partner in Washington was looking out for what people eat (or don't eat), and disciplining them to choose between taxes and cat food.

6. What To Call It

The Obama regime has been called by many names. Any of the following might be appropriate:

Socialism
National socialism
Fascism
Corporatism
Communism
Stalinism
Marxism
Leninism
Tyranny
Statism
Liberalism
Collectivism
Good of society
Communitarianism
Community service
Social gospel
Liberation theology

All are applicable to the Obama regime in some respects. While they vary in the details of their programs, all of these isms have one thing in common: their fundamental philosophy.

All of the above isms are based on the philosophy of altruism. They are all death cults.

>> "The basic principle of altruism is that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that service to others is the only justification of his existence, and that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty, virtue, and value.... which means the self as a standard of evil, and the selfless as a standard of the good."
-- Ayn Rand "Philosophy, Who Needs It", page 74 (hc), 61 (pb).

Obama's philosophy is thoroughly altruistic. His actions in taking over control of business fit the fascist pattern. And he is doing it all by stealth, not revealing his true motivation or goals, concealed behind meaningless propaganda slogans such as "Hope" and "Change".

Therefore, I will continue to use the term "crypto-fascist" to refer to Obama and his regime.

5. God's Little Helper

Motivational Poster

(Click on back arrow to return)

According to news reports [Joseph Abrams, FOXNews.com, August 20, 2009] President Obama appealed to 140,000 religious leaders (via webcast) to support his healeth care scheme, discussing the "moral dimension of health care" (i.e., how many people you can kill to save money [Blog No. 1, 2]).

He also appeared in person before 1000 rabbis, asking them to preach his political agenda in their sermons on Rosh Hashana -- one of the holiest days of the year.

For some reason, I am reminded of those Imams and Mullahs and Ayatollahs who preach terrorism to Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan (and every Friday), and fire missile tests on Rosh Hashana, as Iran did this year.

"I am going to need your help in accomplishing necessary reform," Obama said, according to Rabbi Jack Moline of Virginia.

Obama told the rabbis that "we are God's partners in matters of life and death".

So Obama has now promoted himself to being God's partner.  But only in matters of life and death.  Other matters Obama would presumably leave to God (and to Obama's crypto-fascist henchmen).

In matters of life and death, Obama now considers himself a co-equal (why not?) partner with God. He, like God, would hold each of our lives in his hand, to do with as he chooses.

This latest arrogant pronouncement from Obama (the Most High?) fits perfectly with his previously-announced opinion that medical treatment should be withheld in favor of pain pills, to save money. Well, he's now partners with God, so he must really know God's will. This might also be true of Obama's health care czar and his henchmen serving on the death committees.

Most religions consider God to be omnipotent, all-powerful, not sharing power with any known "partners".

May we now add blasphemy to Obama's resume?

4. Obama Has No Plan

Obama has made countless speeches  (about 140 to date, and counting) promoting his "plan" for health care reform, taking over the insurance industry, and killing Grandmama.

But the curious fact is that he has never once displayed a copy of his "plan". He has never posted any "plan" on the internet. He has never expressed approval of the House bill H.R. 3200, or Sen. Baucus' (Dem.) bill, or any of the three or four other legislative bills.

Yet he has given countless speeches with much bluster about the supposed merits of his "plan".  Curiouser and curiouser.

The dirty secret is that the emperor has no clothes. Obama has no "plan".  There is no document which one can point to and say, "This is what we get if we accept Obama's plan."

Obama's "plan" is a pig in a poke.  Except that there is no pig.  Obama doesn't have a plan.  It's all smoke and mirrors. It's the Oz story all over again. Only now the little guy behind the curtain is the crypto-fascist Obama.

All that we know for certain -- because it's on video -- is that Obama plans to take over the insurance industry and kill off the old people.We don't know how many crypto-fascist burocrats would be on the insurance committees or the death committees.

All we know for sure is that Obama is going for total power over our lives.That should be enough. Only a self-hating, life-hating altruist would put up with this. Or a silly, unthinking idiot.

3. Prison for health?

Prisoner For Health
(Click on picture for larger image)

(Click on back arrow to return)

THe Baucus (Dem.) Senate health care bill requires that every person have health care insurance (so much for the "Choice and Competition" myth).


Those who don't have it will be fined $1900 or sent to federal prison for up to one year and fined $25,000.


The Dems want to make the United States the pnly country on the planet which makes failure to buy health insurance a federal crime. This in the former "land of the free".


The Dems envision a brave new world,where every State would have a brand new "Obama Federal Nedicare Prison For Health Care Criminals" or OFMPFHCC.


Stalin sent dissenters to Siberia (th Gulag). Obama/Baucus want to criminalize the failure to buy health care insurance. Well, Baucus does, anyway. Whether Obama wants this depends on the day of the week.


Somebody should ask Obama if criminalizing health care is what he means by "change".


No sane person would propose such a tyrannical scheme. But whoever accused the crypto-fascist gang of being sane? Was Stalin sane? Was Hitler sane?


Where in the Constitution do the Obama/Baucus Dems get the authority to criminalize the lack of health insurance? Silly me; the Constitution no longer means anything in Obam's Washington.


We can reasonably blame this turrany on Obama, unless he disavows it. But then, who will believe him?
