ObamaCare is repealable, and should be replaced with a plan to cover the uninsured and reduce costs

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), the No. 4 House Republican, is walking back comments attributed to her that ObamaCare can't be repealed. But she's not the only one suggesting Congress merely make changes within the framework of the health law. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says the goal is to get the law "fixed." It seems many GOP lawmakers still haven't read the law, or they'd know the framework is corrupt.

Even Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) speculated Friday that repeal is unlikely because it will be "difficult to turn the clock back."

Nonsense. Even by the most inflated administration claims, some 8 million people have signed up for exchange plans, out of a nation of 318 million. ObamaCare is repealable, and should be replaced with a plan to cover the uninsured and reduce costs.

ObamaCare's authors paid lip service to these goals but had an ulterior motive: forging a permanent Democratic majority. The law creates a huge infrastructure for enrolling millions of people not just in insurance but also for food stamps, housing assistance and other welfare programs - and registering them to vote.

Comment: ObamaCare was not created out of a sense of compassion. The need for healthcare was invented to line the pockets of the insurance companies and was forced on citizens.

In the U.S., 'medical mistakes' are the 5th leading cause of death and prescription drugs are 300 percent more likely to kill you than the illegal ones. Even U.S. veterans suffer unbelievably under our current healthcare system. How does covering more people, affordable or not, help in any way?

Execution means improvisation as drug supplies dwindle

Oklahoma's bungled execution of convicted murderer Clayton Lockett on Tuesday was, in some ways, a medical experiment gone wrong.

In recent years, as pharmaceutical companies have halted sales of drugs used in executions, as legal challenges have mounted and medical groups have vowed to ostracize doctors who participate in sanctioned killings, states have found themselves winging it when it comes to carrying out lethal injections.

In their scramble to carry out death sentences, prison officials from different states have made secret handoffs of lethal-injection drugs. State workers have carried stacks of cash into unregulated compounding pharmacies to purchase chemicals for executions. Some states, like Oklahoma, have relied on unproven drug cocktails, all while saying they must conceal the source of the drugs involved to protect suppliers from legal action and harassment.

Comment: The modern U.S. death penalty is inhumane, cruel and was created by soul-less psychopathic leaders. While the rest of the world has been abandoning the death penalty, the United States has been very busy killing, some found to be innocent of their crimes. Killing people the way the U.S. does is NOT a good policy:

"After more than a century of trying, we have still not managed to find a way of killing that does not run the risk of violating our most important moral and constitutional commitments. It is possible to see this as simply a failure of ingenuity, one that might be solved by the next clever execution technique. But the story of America's enforcement of the death penalty suggests another answer as well: that in practice, such a method simply does not exist."

Moscow to ban US from using Russian rocket engines for military launches

Moscow is banning Washington from using Russian-made rocket engines, which the US has used to deliver its military satellites into orbit, said Russia's Deputy PM, Dmitry Rogozin, who is in charge of space and defense industries.

"We proceed from the fact that without guarantees that our engines are used for non-military spacecraft launches only, we won't be able to supply them to the US," Rogozin is cited as saying by Interfax news agency.

If such guarantees aren't provided the Russian side will also be unable to perform routine maintenance for the engines, which have been previously delivered to the US, he added.

The US relies on Russian-made RD-180 and NK-33 engines to launch military and civilian satellites into space, with NASA saying it's unlikely to produce a fully operational rocket engine of its own before 2020.

US/Nazi collaboration: Ukraine and worldwide history repeats - interview with Prof Barry Lituchy

The US government, NATO, European Union countries and their pliant media are all suppressing the truth about what is really occurring in Ukraine, just like in Yugoslavia. And they are supporting and using Nazi groups to fulfill geopolitical objectives, something that they have continued to do since the end of the Great Patriotic War (World War II).

It would be understandable if Jews worldwide raised the alarm and took up arms, metaphorically speaking, against the US. However, they are not being informed and the truth is being suppressed. We spoke to Professor Barry Lituchy, the editor and co-author of the book "Jasenovac and the Holocaust in Yugoslavia". He is also a member of the US-Jewish community and has roots in Ukraine. He spoke about the US support and the continuation of US collusion with Nazis and fascists worldwide.

Western powers now compete to carve up Libya for themselves

The below link is for an article published in an Egyptian newspaper yesterday. The article breaks the story that the US, UK and France are all in a fight over who will fix Libya now that it is completely broken by THEM. How ironic is this or should I say how criminal is this?

The article is an interview with Dr. Abdul Aziz Song. The doctor is an expert in Libyan and North African affairs. He speaks quite candidly about what is happening in Libya currently.

First he says that France, UK, and USA are all fighting to take the biggest piece of the cake (Libya). Having brought their foreign intervention into Libya, they are the reason for the mess in Libya. Libya is now considered a "Gray" state, meaning completely unstable with no effective government of any kind. All the borders are open, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, Ansar Al Sharia and other Islamic extremist groups have training camps all over Libya and they are supplied arms and money by Qatar and Turkey. Both Qatar and Turkey are acting as fronts for the USA to arm and fund the Islamic extremists in Libya.

Comment: The Moriartys draw attention to the possibility that one of the goals of the "Arab Spring" operations was to foment revolutions in Libya's flanking neighbors (Tunisia and Egypt) as precursors to the "rebel" invasions that brought down Libya. They suggest that this was necessary due to the widespread contentment of the Libyan people with the Libyan government.

Best of the Web: Nazism: History is repeating itself in Ukraine

Image
It's been said those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it...

In the 1930s, special interests backed the Nazis as a means of achieving greater power and wealth. Today in Ukraine, they are doing it again. Play by play, word for word- using the same toxic demagoguery and arraying troops, armor, and airpower against their own people and their neighbors.

History is repeating itself because some of us have clearly failed to learn from it. For those of us that have learned history's lessons, it is time to spread the word.

Just good sense: Scottish officials condemn West's support for Neo-Nazis in Ukraine

Western leaders do not know what they are doing by backing neo-Nazis who overthrew the democratically elected president of Ukraine, Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) leader Colin Fox has told RIA Novosti.

"There is a history there, in that part of the world, where the Nazis invaded Ukraine and some people collaborated with them and other people, rather more nobly, resisted the Nazis," Fox said.

"You are seeing the remnants and the explosion of that today, a deep seated hatred," Fox told RIA Novosti.

With UN special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi's resignation Russia wants Syrian talks to continue without artificial delays

There should be no artificial break in settlement of the Syrian conflict, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told ITAR-TASS on Wednesday in connection with the resignation of the UN and Arab League Special Envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi.

"Russia assumes that Brahimi's follower on the post will continue his course," said the diplomat. "We believe there should be no artificial delays in the political process, there is a need to maintain the positive dynamics achieved in the previous rounds," Gatilov noted.

The most important thing was that the Syrian government was ready to continue the dialogue, he added. "We absolutely encourage and support Damascus and believe there is no other alternative than to continue the inter-Syrian dialogue on all aspects of crisis settlement," he said.

The Fed is 'The Great Deceiver': U.S. central bank just laundered $141 billion through Belgium

Image
Is the Fed "tapering"? Did the Fed really cut its bond purchases during the three month period November 2013 through January 2014? Apparently not if foreign holders of Treasuries are unloading them.

From November 2013 through January 2014 Belgium with a GDP of $480 billion purchased $141.2 billion of US Treasury bonds. Somehow Belgium came up with enough money to allocate during a 3-month period 29 percent of its annual GDP to the purchase of US Treasury bonds.

Certainly Belgium did not have a budget surplus of $141.2 billion. Was Belgium running a trade surplus during a 3-month period equal to 29 percent of Belgium GDP?

No, Belgium's trade and current accounts are in deficit.

Did Belgium's central bank print $141.2 billion worth of euros in order to make the purchase?

No, Belgium is a member of the euro system, and its central bank cannot increase the money supply.

So where did the $141.2 billion come from?

Ukrainian armed forces have opened fire on journalists from Russia's LifeNews working near the city of Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, where fighting broke out between self-defense forces and Kiev's army.

The shooting began around 1 p.m. as three members of a LifeNews crew tried to enter the village of Oktyabrskoe following the fighting. The village is located some 20 kilometers from Kramatorsk.

"We saw that machines were gone and the shooting stopped like half-an-hour ago. We tried to enter the premises of the village to find out what happened to locals, if they needed help, and if there were wounded among them," reporter Oleg Sidyakin told RT. "But as we got closer to the outskirts of the village, we ran into an armored troop carrier with a Ukrainian flag on it and armed people in black uniforms. We were going in a car with 'TV' stickers, indicating that were are press. We stuck hands out of windows, but first there came one shot and then machine gun fire."

Sidyakin said he did not know where the shots were aimed - in the air or above their heads - but still decided to turn away and move to a safer location, in order to avoid provoking armed people.

"I had to make such decision because I could not put in danger the lives of a driver and a cameraman," he said.
