In the continuing media reports on all the wheeling and dealing that is now going on at the Hill on now the Baucus proposals, and the "stakeholders" (read:  industry beneficiaries) of this clearly ludicrous and unconstitutuional health care deform, one factor and point appears to be clearly missing.

Since most states throughout the nation already provide health care for indigents, and also those who are uninsured, in fact even illegal immigrants are provided health care in this country for emergency treatment at hospital emergency rooms courtesy of Uncle Sam and the U.S. taxpayers as has been the case now for over 20 years, nothing has been mentioned now about all the revenue collected by the states which has gone to fund those programs through sales taxes, sin taxes and a host of others.

Or whether there will be offset credits then made against these "fines" and or costs of provision to the taxpayers for all the public assistance and federal grant monies some of those large medical health care providers already receive for both medical research, and patient care under various state and federal programs and grants.

The real mystery is why health care costs have escalated in this country at the rate that has made it now unaffordable for most and what lead to this, since for literally decades most of those health care networks and providers have been getting federal and state grant monies also paid by the public for new equipment, building costs, and all sorts of other reasons, yet the costs then to the public have exceeded the CPI by over a thousand percent in the last ten years alone.

The cost of tuition at state and local universities also has quadrupled and bears now no relevance at all to either the CPI or the costs since most of those public universitities are also the recipients of state and federal tax monies and grants, and funded in many by state citizens property taxes, and alumni grants.  In fact, most state universities at this point could subsist on their athletic programs alone.  Not to mention the out state tuition they have been collecting from foreign students which are now educated in this country from many Far Eastern and South American countries in the medical field, such as India. 

Many seeking and receiving training in the specialities that U.S. doctors left due to the high costs of malpractice that is charged to U.S. citizens, but not at the same levels as those foreign doctors as green card holders or "permanet residents" but not "U.S. citizens."

Nowhere in all the townhall meetings were any questions posed as to whether or not some of those state taxes now collected would then be minimized in order to offset some of the potential costs of this rather unlawful federal program.  Arizona under a citizen initiative passed several years ago collects money from those that smoke to fund provision of health care benefits for children in that state.  But nothing has been said as to whether taxes such as these would then be rebated under any federally concocted program.

Which is why these matters were best left for state determination of the state citizens bearing the burden of those costs, which provided more local accountability.

These health care networks and clinic are state chartered and incorporated, and as such the state governments have been the ones who have been woefully negligent also in their duties in regulation over their practices, since according to my reading of the Constitution, the federal government has power over "interstate" commerce (across state lines, national concerns, and global ones, especially other than costs, the provisions of those policies do not at all vary state-to-state, but are "boilerplate" in almost 90 percent of the cases since their corporat lawyers for those insurers have been busy little beavers using those premium payments in order to also lobby for those industries "privileges and immunities" in much legislation which has occurred also at the state level).  The states have their power over intrastate commerce (commerce conducted within the state primarily by state chartered corporations, and it appears many state legislators are behind this in order to score more unaccountable revenue then for the state coffers from the citizens for their discretionary spending, while also then taking the heat off of them for the out of control costs which have also escalated at the state level in taxation to provide for these programs - and benefits for even non-emergency care for non-Americans at that at private health care clinics, which is then passed off also to the public for added profit over what the citizens already provide to Uncle Sam for also those benefits. 

A double whammy, in other words, for these programs, and appears this is nothing more than, again, in corporate speak attempting to "cut out the middle man," the states - now that Washington has totally abandoned the U.S. Constitution and are acting more like Boards of Directors for U.S.A. Inc. 

According to the true "Law," the federal government would have regulatory power ovedr the national and global health care providers, and the states then further for any of those those incorporated within their states and yet restricting their business and domiciles within simply their own state borders, and the country and state run facilities.  At the present time, there is absolutely zero or no regulation insofar as "citizen" protection for those megacorporate financial concerns which rake in those premiums on either the federal or state levels.

It appears that taxation without representation is actually ending up now doing exactly what the founders predicted. 

If any fines or mandatory provisions are to be anticipated in any such legislation, according to the Commerce Clause itself, wouldn't those fines and fees need to be directed toward the big business commercial organizations that are now not providing any coverage?  And any such fines then also rebated to the public in lesser costs then in the future for those services.

Or will it be like the I.R.S. who collects massive amounts of fines and penalties against many Americans for the U.S. Department of the Treasury since it came into existence, yet instead of then the bite on the remaining taxpayers lessening, it has only increased? 

Just where has all that revenue thus far collected in fines from the American people by the federal government also gone from all the various regulatory agencies throughout the years?

This "plan" is so chock full of holes, appears nothing more than another bureaucratic dark hole painted with a "feel good" spin. 

Sort of like Cap & Trade, and the Patriot Act. 

Presented to the public in the guise of the "public's good" and protectionism, but which is merely protectionism for the criminal element whose own health insurance is funded tax free and at no cost by those that are being made increasingly homeless by Washington's "self-protectionism." 

For Any And All Conserve-ative Americans (not Global Socialists):

Due to many recent events, and some independent research I have done on my own rather recently as a now a political exile from the State of Arizona due to the ramifications which have progressively occurred to many long term residents and former natives in the loss of their homes, jobs and very state to an invasion now that is occurring from Mexico with the federal government's explicit support (hence, twice attempting to provide a "pathway to citizenship" and also amnesty for Mexican nationals in this country presently), and other rather recent legislation that was foreigner friendly at the cost of Americans, it is long overdue in asking some fundamental questions.

Is Washington purposely facilitating a leveraged buyout of American assets, in corporate speak.

After the truth of the bogus "foreclosure rescue" scams have now come to light more and more as throwing money at the Federal Reserve bank branches that were primarily responsible for writing some of those overly restrictive, and high cost "low interest" or "interest only" loans (when many were loaded with junk fees and costs also on the front end) as being nothing more than using those banks to "buy down" those investor's debts in order to then flip those properties for more banker revenue, the MO in Washington is becoming clearer.

Those homes now are being depressed to the point that if Mr. Obama (as Mr. Bush) again pushes for an amnesty, some of those properties taken from the existing Americans who were raped of much of their assets, and now with credit reports precluding any new home purchase for at least a decade, that it will be those "new" Americans that will be seeking some of them. 

Who, of course, won't speak very fluent English and thus prime patsies for the next economic manipulation and depression in the next 20 years under those now 40 year loans.  That has been the case since this is the third such manipulation in the Southwest in 30 years.  First in the 70's, then during the savings and loan Keating disaster, and presently.

Right now, foreign investors own a great deal of stock in some of America's foremost industries, some outright now such as China and the Hummer Division.   And even a great many of the American public utility companies, believe it or not, when Washington and the state governments afforded those "public" corporations then to privatize. 

Even our nuclear power plants at this point, since Palo Verde in Arizona was privatized after the ratepayers were promised the moon in reduction of utility costs in order to "go green" and go nuclear. 

After which, rates skyrocketed then to provide for those foreign investor profits, since their currency also was then higher than our own due to Federal Reserve manipulation. 

Which is, after all, owned by the European and British banking cartels.

Interesting enough also, while then homeless yet also concerned for the somewhat declining health of my elderly parents who live outside New Orleans and were evacuated for both Katrina and Gustav recently, and as a now struggling artist and photographer I visited the French Quarter while I was there for an extended period of time during which time my mother suffered two heart surgeries for blockages in her arteries by a South American heart surgeon. 

As having both a public and private supplemental plan provided by AARP, the corporate practice to which he belonged failed to check for a blockage when her blood pressure was off the charts and did relatively nothing insofar as testing basically until she eventually did suffer the inevitable.

At that time I also had a chance to visit the still recovering New Orleans greater metropolitan area. 

And made a visit to the French Quarter, which I had visited on former trips with my family since my extended family has lived there over 30 years.

The area is still struggling and rebuilding.  Mostly with federal contractors hiring illegal immigrant labor for much of the construction, and has it own now Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in order to promote their agendas and welfare. 

And the homes which were built on the only really habitable land there in the French Quarter which was surveyed by those original settlers and chosen for their settlement as a port on the highest ground available, are still standing and suffered relatively little damage due to the degree of construction used by those original inhabitants.  And of course also built on the highest ground near the Mississippi.

Many are now listed for sale mostly by a British real estate firm, Sotheby's of London, and being marketed to mostly British and Candian citizens. 

In fact, I ran in to several of them while walking through the Garden District taking some photographs.

Due to the differences in accents, it didn't take a formal statement of country of origin.  Some of the licenses and identifying personalized stickers on their vehicles also were in plain view.

And the most famous "new" American who now owns a good deal of our media and internet news sources is also a former Brit from Australia, Rupert Murdoch. 

And bringing his British style of reporting and political agendas with him in the process as not really also assimilating to this country, but attemping to make it more like his own.

So for all you foreigners wishing to leave yours in the belief that America still stands as that beacon of freedom and liberty, and land of opportunity in order enjoy the fruits of your labor, and lower taxation I have news for you.

The British won the war, apparently, without most of the American public being aware, and without firing a shot.

They simply bought our bank.  And have progressively also been buying up most of our valuable real estate. 

Including those homes now being lost that you hear about on your news in the Southwestern United States for the Mexican nationals, and Canadian retirees.

Who, of course, will be the next victims in this global pyramid scheme.

In light of all the news recently carried in the mainstream media reports of all the homeowners that are now being stalled, waylaid and denied sums under Obama's much ballyhooed "foreclosure rescue" and with all the monies thrown at these banking institutions and "new jobs" for those greedy realtors and ex-mortgage banking officials now restructuring or counseling some of those victims, it appears to be time to take a step back and probe a little deeper into the hows and whys of this situation.

Is there another agenda here that is the true goal in these continuing outrageously escalating actions coming off the Hill?

While many of these homeowners are awaiting word and the processing of their applications, the banks are continuing to collect those outrageous sums that were in some of those loans marketed which were at sub-prime and interest only flex rates and that are the subject of the bulk of the type of offered in the last ten years primarily, and under terms most of those homes have been or are in foreclosure. 

Tacked onto most of those loans were significant late fees for late payment, processing fees, reappraisals, junk fees which are once again now being collected against those homeowners in these restructurings while they are "pending.".

Of course,literally hundreds of thousands have and had already lost theirs when this downturn and tsunami began back in 2006 for real.

Another 300,000 in July according to RealtyTrac also saw their homes go on the auction block, and Bank of America, based out of California (one of those who received a massive amount of those bailout sums) reported it has only renegotiated 4% of its existing loans that were "at risk."

The head of Countrywide Loans, also based out of California and "assumed" by Bank of America under the terms of bailout (with Bank of America then being "assumed" by Merrill Lynch, a Wall Street investment house), was placed in charge of renegotiating those loans, and would assume that he is the official reporting on the Bank of America stats.

Interestingly though, Merrill Lynch's name has been kept for the most part out of this process.

Most of those subprime offerings were rebundled and resold over the stock exchange, many to foreign investors. Washington, of course, afforded Wall Street to "globalize" the U.S. economy with that of other nations progressively, so much so that now when an earthquake strikes in the Far East, the economic impact is felt now in Middle America.

Compromising in so doing the U.S. economy and American citizens economies also progressively in the process.

All of these "economic forecasts" with respect to the economy that the Fed releases, and those economists on Wall Street on the mainstream media networks that have been reporting recently that economic indicators are looking more "hopeful" are evaluating those economic indicators with respect to the global economy and not the U.S. economy at all.

So when they predict that this economy will "rebound," they are speaking of the world's economy - not the United States or average Americans.

In fact, it is the average Americans now in the loss of their homes and jobs that are being asked to sacrifice now in the name of "global socialism" of this economy for the Wall Street bankers most of all and global stock exchange, not simply Wall Street and the NYSE.

And, of course, also by our own Federal Reserve which is owned by several prominent European banking houses since these debts are being added and "billed" to the U.S. and America in order to "stablize" the global economy.  Americans now eating the debt for foreign investment bankers across the globe.

At this point a fundamental question thus must be asked: Could this be simply a rather sophisticated Federal Reserve/Washington pyramid scheme along the lines of Bernie Madoff?

These renegotiated loans and loan terms which even are being executed from all reports are similar to the old ones. Not fixed, low interest loans. But flex adjustable or "interest only" ones, along the same lines as the old ones. Some still are being based on the European markets LIBR rates and not that much ballyhooed "zero interest" Federal Reserve "prime" rate at all you keep hearing about in order to pump up the Fed's image with Americans.

It is also clear another fundamental question needs to be asked in light of all these reports now on the "stalls" after pouring literally billions into those Fed branch banks in order to assist American homeowners "at risk."

Are those banks really actively attempting to save these American homeowners from losing those properties, or merely acting as "agents" for Wall Street and Washington in renegotiating or "buying down" some of the foreign investors who bought some of those securities, while continuing to collect those outrageous sums and fees from American homeowners while, for all intents and purposes, those banks ultimate aims are to simply score a piece of real estate for the bank then future profit and gains in the turnover or flipping of them?

And in satisfying some of those foreign investors who invested in these rebundled "risky" investments in the first place, are these banks under that bailout bill which was sped through Congress so quickly last September offering "shares" of these American banking interests in satisfaction for their investment, thus the aim truly is further amalgamating our economy with that of the world in shares of now even U.S. banks owned by foreign interests with Washington's complicit and express consent outside Constitutional authority and thus treason of it? 

It is clear that the founders in fighting a war to break free from foreign dominion and control in that War of '76 established a "union" of soveign states and our economy was never intended to be merged with the global one to begin with in any manner whatsoever as a sovereign nation established for just such purpose -sovereignty over foreign dominion and control   

In effect it appears clearly that Washington is using those banks which they continue to claim are "private" banks although publicly owned and branches of our governmentally created Federal Reserve in order to secure America's position in Earth, Inc. and also in what appears to be the ultimate aim of a totally merged global economy and in effect then world government in the process?

What is also interesting now to take note of also due to news coming off the Hill is where 77% of those foreclosure actions are located, and which banks were involved in marketing in those states.  The top five states on the list just so happen to also be border or Sunbelt states whose primary industries are tourism, both domestic and global.

All have also had significant increases in local taxes and insurance rates which have skyrocketed due to the massive costs of the illegal immigrants who also live within those states and for which those states citizens have been subsidizing since the last Reagan amnesty in the 1980's.

Due to the focus on tourism as a state industry, that industry is one of the primary employers of those illegal immigrants for those resorts, restaurants, casinos and developers who prefer hiring this cheap labor in order to skirt around the added costs that are involved in hiring Americans due to withholding taxes which are mandated to be withheld for Social Security, unemploment compensation and the like.
And a host of other regulatory provisions on the workplace and license standards that are required for those in the construction industry, another major industry which hires and prefers this cheaper labor.

Is it the intention of Washington to then, after force feeding another illegal immigrant amnesty as appears is now also another of Obama's plans even after the American people had spoken loud and clear in 2006 under the Bush Administration with respect to this issue, in manipulating this crisis and forcing prices of homes in those states down now for over three years the purpose to then have available a great deal of housing in order to resell by those banks or "flip" at such time and after those banks raped lawful Americans during this "foreclosure rescue scam" for those over 12 million illegal immigrants?

Foisting then off those foreclosured upon properties and subsidized with also taxpayer monies involved (including the tax monies of those foreclosed upon owners) in those still ursurous loans that will then be sold to many non-English speaking newcomers with the legalese and fine print involved that many Ameicans were duped into signing by those banks and realtors for their profits most of all, in order to then set up these "new" Americans for the next wave manipulated by the Fed and Wall Street? 

Many of those loan terms are being extended to 40 YEARS for those mostly poorly constructed stucco and chicken wire homes so that in another 10-15 years this cycle will be repeated, as this cycle is no mimmicking that of the 70's recession (although far worse) in their market and currency manipulations for the "global" marketplace playing roulette with people lives and homes in the process for their own amusement and gain?

Bankers make profit when homes turn over, not when citizens actually pay them off. And the greater the turnover rate, the greater the profit.

The Bosnian refugees were given automobiles by the Clinton administration for those mostly scientists who were the bulk of those immigrants taken in at that tiime. Many American children can report on the brand new cars their fellow Bosnian students were driving courtesy of the American taxpayers and Uncle Sam.

It was also reported that over 20,000 deemed "vulnerable" Iraqis have also been taken in during this war. Many of them middle class. And due to the border "drug war" (in name only since our southern borders still remain unsecured eight years after 9/11), many middle class Mexicans have bought a great many of the houses in the San Diego area recently that were part of the original wave three years ago.

Nevada (a high tourism and casino state, and thus a high illegal immigrant employment state) had the highest foreclosures last month and topped the list.

Is this how truly low those in Washington have sunk in order to desecrate the very government the founders fought and died for merely 200 years ago, while waving the flag and claiming how much they "love" America?

Which America are they speaking of - the America of Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and John Adams?

Or this new one under a world government more similar to that of Hitler, Stalin and Lenin?

With the people merely the worker bees for the "great good" of world socialism, and their homes and properties theirs for the taking?

As Congress this week ponders the new "global warming" and energy bills, some thoughts and points that have long troubled me with this "scam" on the public might be of interest to some of the more aware Americans clued in on Washington's continued psychotic agendas:

Who manufactures the gadgets that are going to measure these "greenhouse gases?"  Do they come with a warranty, and who is the government contractor who will be awarded the contracts for all the science based theory technology.

So far, science hasn't been able to predict the weather accurately, so again how accurate are these estimates?  And when there is a "normal" cyclical change, is the EPA and the honchos on the Hill going to now take credit for becoming "masters of the universe," in controlling the weather?  Harnessing energy, controlling the weather, find a cure for cancer, populating the moon, developing "new forms" of energy - and a meteor hits the planet long before the Hollywood scenario in all its HDR resonance ever occurs.

It appears either these scientists, who still haven't found the cure for the common cold, after all, for now over 2,000 years might be biting off more than they can chew. Or simply the 21st century versions of P.T. Barnum, with Congress even more clueless than the public has already pretty much determined as of late, and may need those shrinks in order to determine if narcissm and self-delusion are symptomatic of holding public office.

While everyone keeps send money for AIDS research in order to find a cure, don't you find it strange that those expensive miracle drugs to treat the symptoms arrived on the scene about three years after the first diagnosis, and a lawsuit then ensued for over 10 long years in order to extend the patent for those pharmaceutical companies (since patents don't run until any dispute over ownership is settled) with two companies now splitting the proceeds on Inferon and the other spinoffs? 

The patents expire in 2017, and I hope I live long enough to see whether a "cure" then will suddenly be discovered, or whether they will then bleed the generic market dry while getting grants annually still "working" on a cure, since it is viral and we sure came up with that "swine flu mix" vaccine and had some on hand, conveniently, through the WHO "donations" as soon as that new "strain" was announced. Sort of makes you wonders, since AIDS has now become an industry also all its own with all the Hollywood benefits, by those open borders "blue" liberals, and even the "red" state liberals due to their big industry benefactors of the AIDS outbreak.  AIDS became actually the best method of birth control, and stimulus for the latex industry and Dow Chemical ever.

And each "threat level" scare a stimulus for the medical industry.  It does seem that the terrorism that occurs to Americans now is at a level unprecedented in this country, and not as with the border issue, the major threats don't at all seem to be from a small Middle Eastern terrorist sect, that we did, after all, even train in their guerilla tactics.  

So per the 9/11 report and those "facts," it would appear Giulianni's outrage at the blamelessness of Washington for 9/11 does seem rather ludicrous - although Hillary's claim about America's "insatiable" need for drugs is actually also due to both governmental terrorism (at this point who wouldn't want to zone out for some relief) and also negligence.

But instead we'll give Mexico Black Hawk Helicopters (that will eventually be used to America's overall detriment by the cartels or Mexico), and a choice of all terrain vehicles now over the GM Pathfinders, new Hummers.

Hey, we were all just forcefed digital for the industries profits now forcing Americans to literally have to pay for the airwaves, so it mustn't seem such a leap in now taxing our very breath, and with all those towers and sonar equipment now outdated for "sciences" benefit not even given an "offset" credit.

Timothy Geithner, the magician and "jack of all trades, master of none," now acting as trustee for the American people on the bank bailouts, AIG foreign corporate bailout, and automakers bailouts (with California whining in the wings) recently met with Chinese officials and predicted that the global recession "seemed to be losing force." 

Of course, this has come at the cost of selling off shares of U.S. major businesses and industries to the global market, in order to "stabilize" the global economy, in effect further continuing to destroy our own.  

That's the downside of corporate globalization and Washington's "hands off" approaches and collusion in socializing the U.S. economy, rather than protecting American interests and effectively regulating corporate mergers, acquisitions and any "outsourced" offshore expansions.

Saving a British based insurer, AIG, and selling off parts of the automobile manufacturer which until not too recently was responsible for 3% of the United States GNP apparently is not too steep a price to pay for Mr. Geithner to continue to equalize the global scales, while those in Detroit are eating pork and beans, yet the AIG executives were entitled to stress breaks at one of California's four star resorts.

The Chinese, of course, got their bite of the apple in the reported sale of the GM Hummer Division to a Chinese concern.  Apparently so did the Canadians with protection of their union Teacher's Pension and Mexico, from all reports.

This, of course, is in addition to all that labor and the export imbalance due to the Chinese providing a great deal of the manufactured goods here in the United States for one of the major retail chains, Wal-Mart, whose wealth if it were one of the countries in the now "global community" would place it fifth in GNP.

He also apparently reassured the Chinese that the debt that has been amassed during this trade in assets is fundamentally secured due to the United State's "liquid" financial markets. 

It appears the liquid Mr. Geithner might be referring to would be that of mercury - "now you see it, now you don't."

So, although we may owe the Chinese government a great deal of debt on paper, exactly how DID they accumulate all that wealth to begin with?

I hope Mr. Geithner gets around to answering that question,  when he has time and a break from shuffling all these  country's assets around, before he eventually ends up selling off some of our prime real estate, such as  the Grand Canyon or Redwood National Forest.

By the way, did I mention according to the article, Mr. Geithner's father worked in China, and is a former employee of the Ford Foundation?
