Peaceful Blows against the Empire: MD’s refusing to do abortions in Italy

Here’s the Breitbart article reporting:

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2017/03/29/un-censures-italy-for-high-number-of-doctors-who-wont-perform-abortions/

The UN says Italy is naughty because there are so many doctors who refuse to do abortions.

That’s the Real Resistance.

The ones marching for Deep State are false flag resistors. They’re not resisting Trump, in other words, or fascism, or tyranny or any such thing. They are resisting the American manifestation of the world-wide Resistance against the Global Dictatorship somebody is trying to force us into. Even many atheists will oppose this when the goats separate out from the sheep. It looks like they’ll be coming up soon enough with their top man, their star of the show, the one Christians know of as the Antichrist.

So the UN is putting a naughty mark on Italy’s record for not pushing more doctors into ending a baby’s life in the womb.

Who said globalization was a democratic process anyway. It won’t be all that long before they will have to take off the sheepskin and the sheep mask, show their canines, and declare themselves the rulers. It’s already kind of obvious and overt more than ever.

According to some recent Christian interpretations of prophecies in including the list from Ezekiel of countries that invade Israel with Gog and Magog, some countries in Europe may be in on the invasion. First though it looks like they’re moving into a stage of anger with the USA, the only world power that impedes the ascendancy of the Beast.

House Committee Passes Bill To “Audit The Fed”

House Committee Passes Bill To “Audit The Fed”:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-28/house-committee-passes-bill-audit-fed

We shall see how far it goes this time. Rand Paul has reintroduced an Audit the Fed bill before in the Senate, or tried to, but there is a lot of pushback from banking interests, aka The Fed, aka Wall Street…

Go, Mo!!!!

Rep. Mo Brooks files bill to repeal Obamacare

http://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2017/03/rep_mo_brooks_files_bill_to_re.html

Lew Rockwell observes though: ” A model for many other issues! But it doesn’t rip us off for the pharma-insurance-hospital cartel, so forget it.”

Gary North predicted Obamacare-lite in 2010

Just after the elections of 2010, Gary North (“the Tea Party economist”) predicted John Boehner’s plan to sell out the Tea Party in 2013. He was four years off on the prediction, and now it’s Paul Ryan instead of John Boehner, but now in March 2017 we have otherwise seen his prediction come true.
http://www.garynorth.com/public/7218.cfm

He is not exactly crowing “I told you so”, however, though maybe there’s that. But it’s fine because there is a lesson to be had. He said 2013 because he thought the Tea Party would not only give the Republicans a majority in the House but also the Senate and the Presidency.

Gary North shared this perspective of Maxine, funny old cartoon gal:

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/489696159453422860/

Let me get this straight . . . . We’re going to be “gifted” with a health care plan
we are forced to purchase and fined if we don’t,
Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor,
but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents,
written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it,
passed by a Congress that didn’t read it
but exempted themselves from it,
and signed by a President who smokes,
with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes,
for which we’ll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect,
by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare,
all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese,
and financed by a country that’s broke!!!!! ‘What the heck could possibly go wrong?’

Gary North closed his 2010 article with this:

The Bigs will get bigger. They always do.

Forward this to friends. Post it on Twitter and Facebook. The troops need to be warned what’s coming.

Which brings me to this, something I point out to my left-lopsided friends:

Welfare and subsidies from government are never about helping the poor or working class or even for good causes like keeping the environment clean. It is always about helping the super-rich or the biggest corporations or growing government power together with their rich friends:

#1. Food stamps (SNAP) are about helping Big Agriculture on the demand side.

#2. Subsidies and “price supports” for farmers are about keeping down the costs Big Agriculture has to pay to the farmer for his farm production.

#3. Tax credits to business for providing insurance to their employees was started to give Really Big Business a way to get around the wage and price freeze during WW2. They were kept for the same reason: Big Corporations still have this edge over small businesses that cannot afford it.

#4. Export subsidies and export funding is a back door way to pay for corporate experimentation. Once upon a time the federal government funded a McDonald’s project to test a new food item in French in the French market.

#5. The entire Obamacare debacle was programmed from the beginning as a massive hidden subsidy for the biggest insurance companies. It was billed as making sure everybody could have insurance. It is STILL being sold as a way that some 18 million people can have insurance that otherwise would not.
They still refuse to tell the truth. The big “uninsured” figure they kept quoting in 2009 was a very deceitful figure for selling this. Before Obamacare, most of the “uninsured” had incomes enough such that they could afford it but declined to buy it, or were able to sign up for Medicaid or Medicare or equivalent state programs but decided not to. In my personal experience, hospitals always had in the emergency room someone on site, ready to sign up anybody who qualifies for government programs on the spot.
Find an analysis here.

#6. Federal highway funds continue pouring out to states. Besides being money that was better left in the hands of the individuals in all the states in the first place, instead of being “returned” to the states with strings, it is a way to lay one-size-fits-all everywhere by enticement.

#7. Funds for police departments. More control. Military-level equipment (tanks even) under the guise of obsolescence and “homeland security” help entice local and state police forces into a nationalized scheme. This possibly peripheral to big-company subsidies, as it helps bring police into a hierarchy that ends not in Washington, D. C., but into the mission creep that has global oligarchy as the end goal. Corporations go along with this, they don’t have much choice, plus they are sort-of promised a piece of the loot. Plus they have been trained so well they have entire “compliance” departments responsible for keeping up with the onslaught of government decrees.

#8. Foreign military aid is generally a subsidy to the national military-industrial complex. The funds usually come with strings.

#9. Other foreign aid has similar problems. Programs meant to fund aid for the poor or anything else are provided through the receiving government. Most of the money is a loan that obligates the rulers when the bill comes due, and the vicious cycle is kept going with more loans and strings. Funds for highways comes with sales of Caterpillar equipment. Funds for agricultural projects come with John Deere sales. The leftovers go to the politicians pockets.

Like Ron Paul famously said, “Foreign aid is robbing the poor in rich countries to give to the rich in the poor countries.”

So that’s one side of the coin, but the other is, to emphasize, government money for almost anything has an opposite effect of that intended, especially in concessions marketed as helping the poor.

First, ALL government subsidies to the poor must come from people engaged in productive commerce. Even for programs that farm out tasks to companies that hire workers for the projects, the funding must by necessity be filtered through the hands of officials that make the decisions and their departments.

So it’s wealth robbed from the productive forces, given to a bureaucracy with lots of payroll, and whatever the bureaucracy does not grab is passed on to projects. Even an infrastructure project carries this totally wasteful weight on the backs of the victims of the initial looting. The projects too often turn out to be smaller-scale of things like the famous billion-dollar pork barrel proposal for the “Bridge to Nowhere”. A smaller scandal came from a bunch of “airports to nowhere” in another state.

Money robbed from the productive and healthy who before the government commanded universal national insurance purchase, WAS freed up for actual direct medical care.

Just a couple of points from Rand Paul’s plan exposes them all. Tear down the walls between states that would force national competition in the market for insurance. Obamacare has instead forced near-monopolies in place state by state. Tax credits to INDIVIDUALS for both insurance and medical expenses. Let individuals form groups to share medical expenses. (There are a number of these sharing cooperatives that are allowed under the law already.)

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard. –Proverbs 21:13

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. – Prov. 29:2

Burning Man Blog, Trump, Asimov, Foundation and Empire, Trump, and the One that Did Change History

As a youth I was greatly into reading science fiction books, with a sideline of science. Then this article came across my eyes, with lots of reference to the Foundation series trilogy by Isaac Asimov:

https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/03/27/foundation-and-empire-is-donald-trump-the-mule/#comment-1466711

The author brings his own perspective to the ideas Asimov put into the book, and quotes Asimov as saying the idea sprung forth from thoughts about the Roman Empire, after reading Gibbons’ “Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire”.

Historical perspective helps in understanding of history. The Pharisees, Jesus said, could tell when it was going to rain, but could not discern the “signs of the times”. The signs matter a lot. In this warning to the Pharisees, it was a matter of life and death, a great many deaths not so long thereafter.

The author shows some discernment into the signs, apparently based on ideas found in the book “The Fourth Turning”, and overlays ideas from the Foundation series to see where Trump might fit in to all this. Or not fit in.

Asimov proposed in this book a science of “psychohistory” could predict social and political events over great numbers of humans, like the quintillions galaxy-wide in the book.

The author, identified as “admin” on the web page, seems to think that one individual could not change the course of history. Asimov does it in the second of the Foundation series by throwing a mind control mutant in to the mix, the “Mule”.

But one man DID change the course of human history in the real world, and that man was Jesus Christ. In areas dominated by Christ’s influence and net results have followed. Abominations like gladiator sports, baby sacrifice, human sacrifice, have faded, while good things like clinics, orphanages, science, education, and increasing individual freedom (albeit in jumps and starts), have appeared on the scene and grown.

I disagree totally with the “Foundation” notion that a secret cabal of social engineers and manipulators could maintain the altruistic empathy with human civilization (as Asimov was able to live it) and humans therein, over the course of history, as described in the series. In the trilogy they are only presented as benevolent, tweaking one mind here, another there, stopping the rule of the “Mule”.

Give Asimov credit though, for he must have had more cogitations about purely-motivated elites. In a later sequel, he describes political infighting among these guiding elites, and jockeying for position, jealousies, and they are shown as just as human as anybody.

Too bad he couldn’t connect the spiritual dots though. There is in fact a guiding light that has helped humanity in its progression through history to this day, and of course that is divine guidance acting through those who accept the guidance.

Jesus Christ was the one man who changed history in ways no science fiction author has captured. Even the socialist elites like Soros have had to cover their stealth conquest with a cloak of Christian-like charity works. They must point for justification to the crumbs they permit the poor and their subjects (the rest of us) to keep after their direct looting and indirect looting (currency control). Meantime population control operations continue apace, parallel to population reduction operations.

Reaction: Less Butter And Less Guns

Dear Mr. Margolis,

Herein is my reaction to your article at https://lewrockwell.com/2017/03/eric-margolis/trump-budget-good-cuts/.

Most of your writing is great and spot on so has no need of feedback, IMHO. And most of this article and its central thrust against the warrior culture is commendable. The list of useless wasteful programs funded in the budget is instructional. And the slashing of budgets –State Department down 25 percent is huge only because the historical measuring stick is so horrendous. Almost no federal programs have ever been cut even a little bit in my post-WW2 lifetime.

Here is the troubling part:

That’s the sensible part. Now the bad. High-quality public broadcasting is to be gutted, saving $445 million. Americans will be left with sports, game shows, and soap operas. Funds for protecting the environment, a growing urgency for America, are being slashed, delighting many flat earth Republicans. Rail subsidies are cut even though decent railroads are a hallmark of civilized nations.

#1. So-called “high-quality public broadcasting”:

That phrase for this organization is a euphemism for “government-subsidized broadcasting”, which itself is a euphemism for “government propaganda organ”. Being a propaganda organ, it never bites the hand that feeds it. Its executives seem to know that it is not the elected representatives who ultimately order their priorities, nor they themselves, but they are hand-picked for a purpose. Who an deny that the pontificators always talk from the perspective of “the Left”, meaning advocacy of the growth of government power, and they will cheer any solution that the looters in Washington decide to come up with for a problem they have to “fix”. There is a veneer of wise-sounding phrases and such but when you see it in its true light, it is a lipstick veneer applied to a really ugly destructive pig.

Yes, Americans will be left with sports, game shows, and soap operas, in broadcasting. They will also have the Internet, Lew Rockwell, the Ron Paul Report, and many of us “Ron Paul knock-offs”. This phenomenon of spontaneous (and led) awareness of issues of liberty growing is hidden right now in the pablum and fake poll numbers and ridiculous explanations for the “private sector” part of the government-media complex dishes out, but at least it won’t directly be funded by tax extortion.

And on occasion we get a few brave souls like Judge Andrew Napolitano and John Stossel and Tucker Carlson, that buck against Deep State ideology. The public broadcasting programs would never hire someone like them, or even YOU. Except maybe as a quick token guest for whatever your group identity is that supports their broadcasting, or more government funding for the environment, rail subsidies.

#2. Funds for “protecting the environment”:

These are funds targeted at crippling the free market, not pollution. The biggest poison spill of the 21st century so far was done by the EPA itself. Did the EPA have to pay a fine out of its greedy profits? No, because they are “sovereign”.

I used to live a block from a soap factory that stunk all around for blocks, worse when there was wind. And about two miles down Vandevanter Boulevard was a meat packing plant. That one really stank.

Lawsuits have put the hurt on polluting companies. Michael Crichton made the case (an addendum to novel “State of Fear”) that pollution was already on the down-swing before anti-pollution laws became a thing.

And now we have the outrage of the EPA decree that carbon dioxide is a pollutant! You are a polluter! This should fit nicely with Agenda 21’s plans to reduce the population of the earth to the figure on the Georgia Tyranny monument.

This all based on politicized “science so-called”. When politicians cooperate with Deep State in funding a meme, it is a good bet that the public reason they give for it hides a much more atrocious motive. In the end, they do not accept losing their power.

And the old cynical law about government promoting individuals to the level of their incompetence sounds like it’s right. Small businesses and farms and ranches on the wrong end of their relations with these little dictators.

What does a D. C. bureaucrat know about conditions in Idaho as opposed to conditions in Arizona for farms?

Government has this power over the individuals in it that make decisions. When they decide someone’s life, it’s a “godlike” power. They are convinced their decisions are right because their motivations are so pure. So it a farmer has to pay a fine of half a million dollars, that’s good, because his whole job is to protect the watershed, even if the farmer created that little pond for the cows he had two years ago and decided now to fill it in.

Throwing out flattery like “flat earth Republicans” will get you nothing but equal opprobrium.

Michael Crichton was nobody’s “flat earth Republican”, as even you in your blankety-blank must admit. And anybody who reads the charts and graphs and detail digging into the web sites on the subject by people who obviously know the issues like wattsupwiththat, Crichton gave an excellent talk at UCLA I believe it was where he spoke on the condemnable practices that pass for science these days. The title of the talk was “Aliens Cause Global Warming”.

He uses Drake’s equation as a showcase example, pointing out with some caustic effect that every single factor on the right side of that equation was a completely unknown one. At the time they were unknowable, and yet many otherwise accomplished accomplished figures in science would use the equation as “proof”. I will add to that that at this time that of the public pronouncements about all the “habitable” planets they are finding in the stellar neighborhood, more of them have turned out to be not so much certain. And presence of water is ridiculous in the extreme as an indication. Scientifically speaking.

Search the story of the climatologist, famous in her field, who recently resigned from Georgia Tech (I believe it was) because of all the [political] pressure put on her for being slow to declare a planetary emergency.

#3. ” Rail subsidies are cut even though decent railroads are a hallmark of civilized nations.”:

A better hallmark of civilized nations might be rather a hands-off attitude by government. Rail subsidies are a major grand theft operation using stolen money supporting people who prefer to ride trains, and the corporations that run them, and the unions that provide the workers that run them. I personally would prefer to ride a train but even the Amtrack subsidies are not enough to make it worthwhile to get to anywhere farther than a four-hour drive by car from where I am.

Yes, I use the local commuter lines when it’s appropriate for my need and their nice but then it’s subsidized by me and my neighbors even when we’re not using it. And it’s still subsidized.

The failure of the local department that plans the bus lines, by the way, gave rise to a shuttle company, and a jitney operation, lightning fast after a suit that opened up competition, a decision that took the county deciders by surprise no doubt. So the government got their lawyers in gear and got a court order blocking any expansion. The private lines that were implemented already were allowed to stay. Hurray!

Now, the city of Miami is banning Airbnb by simply implementing zoning laws. A free gift to the big hotel chains and peripheral industry in this heavily tourist-y area. I saw a presentation once by a guy at a gullible “hacker” activist groups that think they do good with their new tool for good social causes by showing that in some areas in New York, rents went up in association with the penetration of Airbnb use. They did a study.

I thought later I should have asked whether they studied hotel room prices and hotel room occupancy rates at the time. And since they were studying this supposedly on behalf of the cause of poor tenants, I could have asked it they got any data on the socio-economic status of the people who use this “home sharing” service.

#4. Other than that, your article was pretty good.

Louise Mensch guilty of revealing an ongoing FBI criminal investigation?

From https://thetollonline.com/2017/03/22/breaking-rabbits-found-at-bottom-of-rabbit-hole/

Also fascinating is that Louise Mensch reported on the FISA request at HeatSt.com on November 7, 2016, the day before the election; most likely to undermine Trump. Then, last Friday, in the New York Times, Mensch alluded that Trump’s “wiretapping” Tweets could be an impeachable offense:

This is an issue of the utmost consequence. If Mr. Trump’s tweet alleging that Trump Tower was wiretapped on the orders of President Barack Obama was untrue, Mr. Trump is guilty of a slur. If, however, the president tweeted real news, he revealed the existence of intercepts that cover members of his team in a continuing investigation. That would be obstruction of justice, potentially an impeachable offense.

What a deal! If Trump was wrong, he is a liar who defamed a former president. If Trump was right about the wiretapping, which it now looks like he was, then he could be impeached for obstruction of justice.

Well, well, look here. This is interesting.

First, Louise Mensch reports on the tweet saying “[if] he revealed the existence of intercepts that cover members of his team in a continuing investigation”, that would be “obstruction of justice, potentially an impeachable offense”.

But his tweet is cryptic, ambiguous, the word “wire tapped” in quotes. Plus Obama probably never explicitly gave a written or voiced order to somebody to do this, especially in a way that loses him deniability. And we who understand the normal usage of the English language and the limits of 140 characters in a tweet, understand that Trump probably did not mean it that way. He probably meant it the same way Harry Truman did: “The buck stops here” (at the presidential desk, the desk of boss-man, as chief of the Obama administration).

It’s pretty obvious from the sneaky way the retorts came back that they understood perfectly what Trump meant but rather than object to what they knew he meant, they went after a semantical two-step.

Meantime, it looks to me like this Louise Mensch is shooting herself in the foot, while her foot is in her mouth!

If Trump’s tweet was true, she says, then he was revealing an ongoing FBI criminal investigation, making the tweet an “obstruction of justice”!

But if the Trump tweet was true, we also have HER making a MUCH more direct revealing statement, by revealing the FISA request. If Trump’s tweet was arguably true the way she makes it criminal, then hers is the much more obvious felony crime.

So her report is a confirmation of the bogus FISA request based on what now looks like may have been a CIA “Umbrage” plant meant to prop up the case for the bogus “wiretapping” request to listen in on Trump and his team. She says such a revelation can be used against Trump for revealing an ongoing FBI criminal investigation. She did exactly that, and by her own words, she should turn herself in for the crime.

If she gets to claim reporters’ protection, then she encouraged a felony act by her source.

What did she say about Edward Snowden? Manning?

Why Dems protest Nunes revelations

Dems in Congress are squealing about Nunes sharing the information he received that Trump’s team, and the tower, was indeed the subject of “wiretapping”, which is understood as eavesdropping by government officials.

It occurred to me that their problem is that they were doing fine with the leaks, and even with Comey announcing to Congress that the FBI is investigating whether or not Trump campaign members “colluded” with Russian agents.

Republicans should be laughing their heads off at this. Instead the congressmen-R strategy is more low-key, maybe because they are taking Schumer’s advice to tread carefully around insulting the Intelligence agencies. If they had backbone they would speak frankly.

On speaking frankly, when Senator Joe Biden asked Supreme Court nominee Antonio Scalia about some concerns the Congressmen had, Scalia replied that there was only one concern he and his colleagues had, and that was their own re-election.

Not really funny. FBI Director Comey just admitted to Congress and to the American public that they are on a fishing expedition. All the leaders in intelligence sources that can speak openly now like Clapper and others, are saying that they saw absolutely no evidence of such “collusion”.

So what we have here really is evidence of real collusion, albeit possibly by “unspoken agreement” as it’s called sometimes, to block the actions of a president properly chosen by the electorate.
