On the insurance issue, insurance companies have a lot of actuarial acumen. Obamacare basically instituted the auto industry equivalent of "uninsured/underinsured " motorists that we see on our auto premiums. Basically because government won't do its job of punishing illegal activity [going after people who don't insure properly] , we the law abiding motorists have to not only pay for our own insurance , but pay for others' illegal activities. Same with medical insurance. With the allowance of millions of illegals to be allowed in and shipped across the country, our premiums are covering their medical costs when they show up at hospitals and such. And people are still dumb enough to vote Democrat. [I'm looking at you suburban wine women who keep putting these idiots in office.]

When we used to live in Glen Ellyn, IL they were called GEMs. They were all a piece of work - I just called them down-mouths in my mind because they wore the same look of disapproval everywhere they went. They couldn't even say hello to my son (2.5 years old at the time). I mean, who in the world cannot greet a child when he's got a beautiful smiling face and a happy waving hand? We used to tell him it was ok, when he would wonder why they wouldn't wave at him, that it wasn't him it was that their "Hi!" was broken. It was there that I learned first-hand that money does not make one happy.

The government tells us we HAVE to have health insurance, we HAVE to have auto insurance, we HAVE to have homeowners insurance- insurance executives sitting pretty and government officials I am sure get plenty of kick backs on all these HAVE TOS. In meantime we just pay through the nose and shit coverage. (IMHO auto insurance essentially ‘stole’ my car from me after MVA [huge auto insurance uptick in totaling cars- saves them money and they make more money selling your vehicle as well- ya get screwed twice essentially] and homeowners insurance keeps denying roof (3 hurricanes, 3 hailstorms) and I am sure their tactic is to keep doing so until they can say it’s now too old so I have to replace it. Also I highly resent being FORCED to take medicare which I will have to use the money for my healthy alternative treatments to pay for care I will not use!! So, yes, IMHO the gub mint can just get the heck out of my life and business.

Being in Army IT nearly my entire career, I know programmable machines can give what ever result desired. I also know with 100% certainty parts of the "election" equipment are connected to the network and manipulated by remote operators.

But the massive wholesale mail in ballot fraud is done outside that system. If mail in ballot fraud does, for some reason, not give the criminals the result they want, they can simply do brute force manipulation of the numbers with the machines. Its the primary backup to mail in fraud. And they protect it all with a corrupt judiciary starting at the DOJ and propagating out to the lowest courts.

Here in GA the GOP is telling people to request a mail-in ballot but instead of mailing it, take to your voting place and drop off directly. That way ‘they’ can’t use your mail in ballot bc you will have already requested it and voted. And VOTE EARLY! Don’t wait until Election Day bc we all know they will stop at nothing to rig the system or set up another weather disaster. So many shenanigans... in 2020 I had a PO Box for my business and got a card in the mail addressed TO someone else, from the biden election team, saying thank you for your vote. (Thought PO Boxes didn’t count as a residence!) I also received several mail-in ballots for my mom who was living in GA but also lived part time in AZ. She’s a dem I shouldn’t have given them to her lol! If she sent them all back she would have voted 3 times. But lots of red flags from the cheaters. We can’t let them do it again this year!

Great analysis! If they DID treat healthcare insurance like auto insurance then they should have had the “assigned risk” category and left our healthcare alone.

Insurance is truly socialism; the many pay for the few. I’ve been a commercial property underwriter for almost 35 years and know how it’s ‘supposed’ to work.

We insured folks should ONLY be subsidizing other people’s healthcare insurance if they have it, not if they don’t. This is the reason why we insured people pay more. If folks are not paying premiums now and getting healthcare coverage, then how can we ask them to pay more?

The healthcare system we have now is badly broken. Adding FREE people makes it abominable.

100% true, and don't forget that Obama Care (the Unaffordable Care Act) also REQUIRED insurance companies to cover/insure abortions and mammograms for "men". Maybe that was their way of furthering the collapse of the sex differences within the "system" in their whole "gender" lunacy. The Unaffordable Care Act is their "necessary" step towards single payor. The illegal alien invasion is their Saul Alinsky way of flooding and collapsing the system. Then the commies can come in and "remake" it in their socialist totalitarian fashion. In hindsight, Pres. Trump should have let that whole system just fail, instead of nursing it along. The system was never designed to function long term. It was a steppingstone to collapse.

Very well stated and an excellent reminder. Sadly here in commifornia our republicans are even complicit.

The System (grift everyone to death, maim and murder) is now so corrupt that The System threatens to implode leaving us all starving, broke and without food or heat. And thus, Elon Musk's words in the Tucker interview hit home like they never have before. If something does not happen, nobody will be able to do anything. Things will just grind to a halt.

At some point, one just has to stop paying for things like health insurance. It gets to the point where one can't pay more than one makes. That plain fact is that corruption is the death of all of us.

I had always wondered about people ... like how dumb people really are. Covid Health Terrorism supplied that answer.

He wants a something that looks like the Christian Liberty, but it is not Christian Liberty because Elon's 'liberty' is still a grant within the same civil rights system of state permissions.

Not one in hundred thousand understand that God has a real Kingdom, is a real Lord and Magistrate ... and that God's Kingdom (a jurisdiction) is inviolable (non-infrangible) by the civil state for lack of standing. As long as person keeps God's Laws (God's Peace), that person enjoys immunity from interference by the civil state in the exercise of the Rights of Liberty. Elon does not understand one bit of this because he is by his own description 'a cultural christian' who does not believe in God. This all could be much expanded upon.

Christian Liberty is different because the civil state cannot enter into, disturb, make its own law and rule in a jurisdiction over which the civil state has no sovereign claim. That 'cannot infringe upon' has a real meaning far in excess of what of what is understood today.

John Adams apparently understood this because he stated that King Geo. 'was transporting the colonists OUT OF LIBERTY and into Admiralty'. And Admiralty Cout is where the king was the sovereign and law giver (and where the king could boss around the colonists).

"Having a semblance of liberty but denying it's power." I'd also be surprised if one in a hundred thousand IN THE AMERICAN CHURCHES understood this. The signatories of the Declaration of Independence understood this as it was clearly stated. However the framers of the novel Constitution did not and this acknowledgement to God's sovereignty and the sovereign jurisdiction of His Law was completely abandoned. They want to enjoy the benefits of liberty all the while denying the source of that liberty, God's Law.

What Elon fails to understand is that this means man is god as he is the source of all law. Therefore the State, as the ultimate expression of man, is god and its law defines liberty. He fails to see there is but a sliver of difference between his idea of liberty and Kamala's idea of "liberty". One cannot defeat Humanism if one is also a Humanist. We are all "cultural Christians" now.

daverkb's avatar

Essential right. Both Kamala and Elon are operating in the same body of law, just going in opposite directions. And yes, whether Kamala or Elon, it's all Humanism ... and not the original Christian conception of law and liberty.

I doubt that either Kamala and Elon have any idea that the original American states were Christian states. Years ago, when I came across this piece of information, I was shocked. And again, nothing that was taught in American schools, not even in the earlier textbooks.

Politico Phil's avatar

As I look back trying to see the beginning point of the decline of the Biblical/Christian ideal of a state, I have to say that point was the secret Philadelphia constitutional convention that resulted in the adoption of the US Constitution that implicitly disavowed the source of human liberty, our Creator and His law given to us in His Revelation and embodied in the life of the Son of Man and His ascension as King of kings.

The worst thing that happened was the subjugation of the individual American Christian states to a Federal Gov't that recognizes no authority higher than it's own. With the elimination of competition between the States and their subjugation to a monolithic authority, that lead directly to the monolithic tyranny we live with today.

All of this is a mystery of How Much of How Much. And of forces in contention and with shifting balances of power. Both of the major factions (Radical Woke and Republican Normie) were more or less the same as far as NeoCon-ism and the entirety UN totalitarian agenda goes ... and both were unquestionably pro-Zionist and Zionist controlled. But be that as it may, it looks as though there is now trouble in Post WWII City. First the Radical Wokies and Republican Confederates are cracking apart with defections from within Woke and also a new rising dissident power moving in on the Republican establishment. All of this is novel and within a destabilized context. Add in Muslims in swing states and it's one big struggle for King of the Hill.

So Trump is clearly is in the dissident push back group seeking to reinvent the failing past, a dissident group which is apparently gaining steam ever since 2020/2021 onwards. And addionally, I would say that Trump may not be totally controlled, at least not in the same way as are Biden and Kamala. And I'll add that Trump also has to please the Zionist power to some large extent, because if Trump does not please the Zionist power, then he might as well be in the middle of the Atlantic trying walk on water with one hundred pound cement shoes on each foot. And so, it's a complex situation, with various forces vying to gain control of a now sinking ship of state/empire. And to further complicate the matter, the Zionist State is fractured within and the international community now sees Israel as a pariah state. That is, Israel is increasingly to be seen isolating itself through escalation of its provocative anti-human agenda.

There is no easy analysis to be had here in a Western World now disintegrating before our very eyes. Furthermore, the same crowd that has controlled the Western World throughout the 20th Century and on into my life time may be the very same people who were in powers and who are busy repurposing themselves in another chameleon incarnation.

So why can't we chose healthcare insurance like we chose car insurance? It ticks me off too that we are paying insurance for uninsured motorists but just imagine how much automobile insurance would be if the government took it over, too. The truth is that competition would fix the problem. I can shop around for automobile insurance so companies have to compete for my business, especially since I have a good driving record. Let me add this-no one can be turned away from an emergency room per federal regulations. People use emergency rooms like clinics when they do not have insurance so that is a huge problem. Hospitals make a lot of money off these people by billing our government for the services rendered, too.

79SmithW60's avatar

@CH, because they don't want competition (it is the "State's way" i.e. government run sick care and that is it. That is why they did everything to get Obama Care across the finish line and when it was threatened to be ruled unconstitutional because of the "non-tax tax", they had the goods on Roberts, so he caved and declared it a tax (opposite of what the government had argued the entire time they were trying to pass it), thus decreeing it "constitutional", even though it is clearly not. The 9th and 10th Amendments are clear, as is Article I of the Constitution (No matter how hard I try, I still can't find in the 18 enumerated powers where Congress is authorized to be in the health insurance business)... The only way it could possibly become "constitutional" would be if they amend the Constitution through the Amendment process (which it would never pass or be ratified by 3/4 of the states if were passed by 2/3's of the Senate and House). That is why the just created a law and decreed it "constitutional". It is corruption at its core.

I pray that those on the west coast who are able have evacuated and those who aren't able have gone to shelters. There's an old story about a man in a flood and he prays for God to protect him. Someone comes to tell him to evacuate, then as the flood waters rise, a boat comes by to carry him to safety, and as the waters continue to rise another boat. Finally, when the man is on the roof, a helicopter comes to take him to safety. The man refuses to leave each time and dies in the flood. He gets to heaven and asks God why didn't you save me to which God replies, "I sent you a warning, 2 boats and a helicopter. What exactly did you want?"

I get that. There were people in the CA fires that were forced to leave their horses behind even though they had them in trailers. The police came up with some lame excuse and all those horses died. Such an unnecessary tragedy.

Not that stupid parable that demeans people of faith again! Only a damn fool, an absolute moron would not accept rescue from a boat or a helicopter! People, who pray and wait upon the Lord, would see them as God sent.

I guess for me it describes a stubborn heart which we can all be prone to having and I'm especially guilty of doing. But the point of the story is that the person expected God to provide miraculous protections when basic protection sufficed. Unfortunately, I do know a Christian that is doing just this in Sarasota because she survived the last hurricane and was fine and God protected her then and will protect her now. There is also such a thing as "Do not tempt the Lord your God." When there is a way of escape, take it.

Kames Howard Kuntsler does not mince words about the desperation of the cabal. He says the same thing Jenny Moonstone said the other day in an interview with Bix Weir, with the addition that there is something primordial, and other worldly about Appalachia , the oldest mountain range on earth. Essentially, they have picked on the wrong people , and the wrong place. During the Revolutionary War, the British, and their Loyalist allies, tried to intimidate and terrorize Appalachians into submission, or at least staying out of the fray. The Battle of King's Mountain was conducted with such ferocity the British and Loyalists stayed well away from Appalachia for the rest of the war.

FEMA with billions and hurricane impacting elections.. it’s 2011 all over again. Back then Ron Paul called to abolish FEMA, but “as if on cue,” Hurricane Sandy came through and all talks of abolishing FEMA were stopped.

Strange coincidence how these storms keep “affecting” political campaigns:

Sandy was another steered and directed hurricane. When it hit Wall Street, it conveniently flooded the uber protected DTCC where ALL stock records are kept. I by all , I mean All. Bet you didn't know that. Bix did.

https://nypost.com/2012/11/18/billions-in-bearer-bonds-could-be-lost-due-to-hurricane-sandy-sources/

Mind bogglingly ( I know that is not a word, but it fits here), then it caught on fire. Bix Weir had prepared a video to air on national TV the week before on the dirty little secrets about DTCC, but for Some reason, it was pulled first. Nothing to see here. Move along. For the record, you used to be able to request physical stock certificates be sent to you , but no longer. Brokers always tried to talk you out of it, saying it would prevent you from selling before you sent them back to them. It wasn't because it would curtail their ability to rehypothicate (sell multiple times) the same stock certificate. No. Not that. You conspiracy theorist.

This premise is interesting. The current welfare state took root in the early 1900’s when the church abdicated its responsibility to care for the poor and the government took over. Secularism replaced dependency on faith in God’s provision. When I worked in public health in the 1970’s, I gained an understanding of what causes generational dependence on welfare. Motivation is lost, and the state becomes the supreme entity.

So... I don't know if you've seen this on social media but while we are all focused on the second geo-engineered "turbo hurricane" to hit FL in as many months - RIGHT BEFORE ELECTION DAY - apparently multiple wildfires have been set in California and Wyoming by the same malevolent forces trying to force everyone off their land.

And oh, btw, apparently there is a "heat dome" over CA preventing any rain from coming off the Pacific so the fire can burn out of control. Now just coincidentally, "someone" is pulsing electromagnetic frequencies out into the pacific from CA which is keeping moisture from the Pacific from coming ashore and raining on the fires. Look at this short video...........

Some will complain about Stew Peters vociferous style. They want their news delivered in a style that is conciliatory and humorous. Childers does a great job at this and his style is enjoyable. But there is a place for Stew Peters. If you object to his rhetorical style, consider that you would also object to the vociferous style of one Patrick Henry who was right about the British Crown, he was right about the Revolution ("Give me liberty or give me death") and he was right about the secret Constitutional Convention when he said, "I smell a rat in Philadelphia.".......................................

There is a complete media blackout on the hurricanes that have hit Acapulco. When that happens, that's when we should be paying attention. They are hiding something and distracting us from it, quite successfully I might add. A year ago a CAT 5 magically developed all of sudden and hit Acapulco without warning. Total devastation and the people had no warning. But there was a complete media blackout. How many here saw any news about it???

Fast forwarding to this October as Milton was forming in the western Gulf, Hurricane John, a CAT 3, hit Acapulco and fizzled out. Then the system did a 180, went back out to sea, strengthened to a CAT 3 again and came back in and hit Acapulco AGAIN. Anyone hear any news about this? Anything? This just happened. The weathermen are baffled. They have never seen a hurricane do this and cannot explain how this could be possible.

And while we are all obsessing over the approach of Milton, we are completely distracted from what is happening to the million people in the mountains of North Carolina who have been cut off and left to die by the USG.

I shouldn't have to point this out but the USG DoD and the NeoCons in the Biden administration at all levels are waging systematic warfare upon the American people. They are also doing everything they can to provoke international war in eastern Europe and the Middle East. They need an event, even if a false flag event, to get the American people to back their blood-lust for war against the Russians and the BRICS.

Everything is connected and if you can't connect the dots and realize this is all part of their strategy to wage war on Americans and reduce us to slavery, then you will never understand why all these things are happening.

Or if you could just make people understand that our body is an engine, and it burns fuel at a rate based on your activity.

People are fat because they eat too much. Prove me wrong.

Look up Big Fat Surprise (both a book and a movie) by Tim (or Tom?) Naughton. He ate excess calories for a month or so. When getting them from processed foods and veg oils, he developed a belly. When getting them from a well-formed low carb diet, he did not.

CICO (calories in, calories out) is only part of the equation. Gary Taubes has also written about this. His book, Good Calories, Bad Calories discusses.

Our bodies need certain kinds of fuel to run well. Sort of like diesel engines require a certain kind of fuel. But put diesel in my sedan and it won't work very well.

Actually the Tim/Tom Naughton book is Fat Head and Fat Head for Kids. The title is off-putting but the content is great. It's also a documentary.

The foods have poisons in them that create non stop craving and addiction, which increases consumption. You eat the junk, you never feel full.

Just as bad with sodas. Empty calories causing cravings for more empty calories.

Kristina the Short's avatar

prove you wrong, huh?

well I dunno about proof, for

"a man convinced against his will

is of the same opinion still"

(Ben Franklin IIRC). But if you're willing to really look from another angle: consider these, among others.

1) Most things are tested on males.

Males don't naturally produce estrogen. Estrogen helps maintain & prepare a female body for pregnancy; so it helps retain water, & makes one gain weight on less food. Hey guess what the slaughterhouse do? buy lots of animals live for pennies per pound, give them estrogen on their food (or injections)for a coupla weeks, they gain weight -- then they get slaughtered/butchered/sold/consumed. This raises the slaughterhouse profits. But since the estrogen is synthetic, not natural, it's still effective even after the animal is dead. :-( Read the oldie but goodie "Modern Meat", if you dare.

2) ever read labels? lots of things have soy in them. soy is a phytoestrogen, a plant equivalent of estrogen. yeah.

3) in your label reading, note how many things have wheat in them. Modern wheat has been changed in the last 50 years; genetically it is now very non-good for us. Read "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis.

4) MSG, MonoSodium Glutamate; it's not "just a flavor enhancer" !!!

it affects that part of your brain that registers fullness (satiety), and gets you ADDICTED to the foods you ate that contain it. That's why you crave a Big Mac.

5) research HFCS -- High Fructose Corn Syrup. Rumor says it replaced regular old corn syrup because mice that were bred for diabetes (so the pharma guys could try diabetes meds on them) got fatter, faster, with foods containing HFCS.

That's all you get for free; any more and I'll have to charge you.
