Posted on 01/12/2013 10:43:25 AM PST by JerseyanExileEdited on 01/12/2013 1:15:44 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
The battle to retake Mali's north from the al-Qaida-linked groups controlling it began in earnest Saturday, after hundreds of French forces deployed to the country and began aerial bombardments to drive back the Islamic extremists from a town seized earlier this week.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Mali -- the next Afghanistan???
If you are trading copters for pickup trucks, you aren't using enough firepower.
The Ring of Fire = where ever Islam borders the sane world.
So the French are getting tough even as we surrender?
Never thought I'd see the day...
Nous vous saluons, la France!
"So the French are getting tough even as we surrender?"
The French have been getting tough in Africa for decades. It's part of their colonial legacy and happen mostly in their old colonies to which they have banking and trade interests. Remember the French interventions in Ivory Coast, Chad, Djibouti and libya, not to mention Algeria, which is a different kind of animal. I think they've also rescued hostages in Somalia.
What makes this Mali intervention interesting to me is that it mirrors the fight against Al-Shabaab in Somalia on the other side of the continent, except that the French are intervening directly instead of supporting proxies. Things were crumbling pretty badly.
It's worth noting that the militia in Mali that is fighting the French obtained some of their weapons from the Steven's operation at Benghazi.
What does Hillary know, and when did she know it?
Now to take back suburban Paris.
I wonder what will be the direct consequences of whatever idiotic decision he makes with regards to Syria. Either way, it'll be idiotic, and you'll watch it on TV or the Internet. I'll hear the explosions' vibrations through the ground.
It is also a strange contrast to France's role in Syria, where they are supporting Islamist rebels to overthrow a government.
MrJ, they told us that the overthrow of Gaddafi was for freedom and democracy ... would they lie??? Those rebels aren't murdering scum are they? ...
That's my suspicion, as well. So, in a sense, the French are fighting Obama's effort to spread transnational Islamist rule throughout North Africa.
Not just *any* French...Hollande is a socialist.
Driving them back doesn't cure the problem. They need the French version of the Roach Motel - Islamists go in, but they don't come out.
And all the gun-control talk has driven Benghazi, along with all of Obama's failures, out of the news cycle and out of the minds of the voters.
Send in the FFL if France wants to win.
Thanks JerseyanExile.

What a peaceful world we live in. The French are back fighting in Africa. The British are developing war plans for the Falklands. Atlanta has to have the police patrol in armored cars.
meanwhile leftists continue attacks on the foundations of civilization
Al Qaeda/Taliban operate the same way in every country they subvert.
However, Mali is quite different from Afghanistan in geography. Afghanistan is a country made up of small cities/towns and homesteads in mountain valleys and at a few crossroads. Without aircraft, fighting the jihadists is a long slugfest.
However, in Mali, as in the Saharan fight between Morocco and the leftist Polisario, there were few major bases involved and attacks were made by truck convoys (Polisario). When they were caught in the open by the Moroccan (and/or French Air Force), they were decimated, and a hundreds of miles long bern wall stopped them from raiding Moroccan army camps and cities.
Mali looks like the place where airpower, by the French, will be the weapon with which to cripple AQIM armed convoys, and then hit their supply depots, communications and control centers, and to cut them off from reinforcements from other towns/bases. (Already happening according to new reports).
The only thing missing is, besides what one poster suggested, i.e. a Spectre gunship(s) is napalm. It is the best weapon for taking out a truck convoy which usually travels single-file across the desert. You can run but you can't hide or even outrun a jet filled with the good stuff.
Helicopter gunships are good if you have enough, with rockets and heavy machineguns. Sending in a handful to a battle is not combat efficiency. If you are going to destroy the enemy in the field, you make sure that you have enough choppers and planes to do it right the first time.
You hit them "high and low", high being bombers and mid-altitude strafing by jets and light bombers, while "low" means helicopters and/or an equivalent of the A10 Warthog.
Spectres are both mid-level and high level fighting machines, depending on whether you are using miniguns or the 105MM cannons.
I hope the French don't have "rules of engagement" for desert fighting. You fight to win, not gain a draw.
It's not just Obama's foreign policy blunders. Perhaps Mali is reaping a little of what the Clinton era sowed in Africa as well :
DECEMBER 1999 : (USAID TERMINATES IARA PROJECT AGREEMENTS IN MALI-— see IARA, COLUMBIA MO CELL, SILJANDER, MALI, IRAQ, TERROR CHARITIES) IARA, Hamed and Bagegni had previously entered into a series of agreements with USAID for relief projects in Mali, Africa. When USAID terminated those agreements in December 1999, the amount of money involved totaled approximately $2 million. IARA had allegedly failed to fully fund the matching contributions required to receive USAID funds. After the termination of these agreements, the indictment alleges, IARA, Hamed and Bagegni, without authorization, retained approximately $84,922 of USAID money and failed to return the funds to USAID as called for by the agreements.

Didn't Pakistan's nuclear scientist Qadeer Khan have a hotel in Mali?
Speaking of Mali :
A London accountant has described how Pakistan's disgraced nuclear hero Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan visited the West African state of Mali on three occasions between 1998 and 2000. Abdul Ma'bood Siddiqui accompanied A.Q. Khan on three mystery trips between 1998 and 2000. Their final destination was Timbuktu, a remote outpost in the desert that has always been a magnet for explorers and adventurers from around the world.Siddiqui, who used to live in the Gulf until he moved to London, has told how on his vists to Timbuktu the 'father' of the Pakistani bomb witnessed the digging of a well, toured an ancient Islamic library and enjoyed the views of the desert.
Despite Siddiqui's claim that the three visits had no ulterior motive, the qualifications of the men who accompanied Khan, including his chief scientific adviser, the head of security at the top secret Khan Research Laboratories near Islamabad and a former surgeon general of the Pakistan army, would suggest otherwise.———————— "Khan's visit to Timbuktu was to prospect for uranium - dissident," London |By Shyam Bhatia, Correspondent | 19-02-2004
Gulf News, Feb 19, 2004
Ha, found the reference. Yes he did... :
Pakistani dissidents for their part have told how the real reason for Khan's visit Timbuktu was to prospect for uranium. Landlocked Mali lies adjacent to uranium-rich Niger, from where the French government obtains all the uranium it needs for its nuclear programme, and Mali also has untapped resources of the same mineral. The [Pakistani] dissidents say Khan's subsequent purchase of the newly named Hendrina Khan Hotel was just a cover to his real interest in the precious uranium needed for nuclear bombs. ---------------- "Khan's visit to Timbuktu was to prospect for uranium - dissident," London |By Shyam Bhatia, Correspondent | 19-02-2004 Gulf News, Feb 19, 2004 http://article.wn.com/link/WNAT039982C35252AFDAE2D6E88A1A1896F5?source=templategenerator&template=nigerpost/mainsearch.txt

Very interesting and thank you for the ping Piasa.
A leading Pakistani newspaper reported today that Khan had a vast array of real estate holdings, including a hotel in Timbuktu, Mali. The News daily reported that Khan also used a military transport aircraft to ship carved wooden furniture to the hotel, which he named after his Dutch wife, Hendrina. Because the plane couldnt land in Mali, it touched down in Tripoli, Libya, and the furniture was taken the rest of the way by road, the News said. Also along for the ride was Farooq, an expert on centrifuges a key piece of equipment required to enrich uranium for use in weapons.-----------Scientists investigated over selling nuclear secrets, Ireland On-Line, 01/02/2004 - 15:23:37 http://breakingnews.iol.ie/news/story.asp?j=93330376&p=9333yx8z
The controversial father of Pakistans nuclear program was in Niamey (Niger) on the very same days in which Saddams emissaries were present. ...
A recent intelligence lead takes us back to Niger, where Khan was a welcomed guest of the government and where his intermediaries continue to do business: the very same intermediaries who ,in 1999 made a fool of the French Secret Services charged with monitoring through the multinational Cogema the uranium mines from which some years before these intermediaries were able to illegally export 1,200 tons of yellow cake (yellow uranium oxide from which gas is extracted to be applied in centrifuges in order to be enriched) to Libya.
The very same Khan according to official International Atomic Energy Agency data bought a part of the 450 tons of (uranium) stored in Libya in exchange for arms and petrodollars to finance Islamabads nuclear program. ...-—— "Uranium from Niger for the Islamic Atom Bomb," By Gian Marco Chiocci , il Giornale de Italia , Washington, November 30, 2005 (Translation by Parnasokan .Edited by poster.) ; Original text-in Italian-is at the link: http://www.ilgiornale.it/a.pic1?ID=46594

These probably were. Notice "Special Forces"? There ain't too many other SF's in France that I'm aware of.
Odd how they didn't ask the UN for permission.
Thanks piasa!
"It is also a strange contrast to Frances role in Syria..."
True for all the west. Acting so contrary to our collective national interests is not going to end well.
Thanks for the Khan observation.
Al Qaeda's African strategy has always been part of a broader geopolitical strategy supported by their state sponsors in the Middle East and elsewhere (including Iran), geared towards gaining a land foothold for control of the key naval shipping routes in the region. Reviewing the Nazi strategy in North Africa and the Soviet strategy during the Algerian independence movement is instructive for interpreting the strategic significance of the recent agitations in Egypt, Libya, Mali, etc.
Thanks for the ping!

This is exciting to me. When my husband looked kind of blank about my plans and then asked me why this was a big deal I didn't really have an answer for him. On further thought I've decided it is an affirmation. I decided to do a blog and I've stuck with it. I've had a certain amount of success in positive comments and I enjoy it. The blog has opened up new possibilities and visions for me. I look at the world a little differently.
As promised I am having a giveaway. Everybody who leaves a comment to this post before Tuesday, September 21will be entered into a drawing. I will put all the names into a hat and draw one lucky winner.
So, what is the prize, you ask?
A large goodie bag full of vintage and new papers, fabrics, sequin waste, dried flower petals, fibers, buttons, beads, trims, and my Lillian Russell tag, "She Dreamed."

5 Celebrity Homes That Won't Sell
Existing home sales are up, existing housing prices are moving north and mortgage interest rates continue their dive below 4%. That's great for the average schmoe with a condo who just finished riding out the housing bust, but for folks hanging on to sprawling estates with more bathrooms than the average home has rooms, those 2000s displays of big-rimmed, bejeweled opulence just aren't coming back.
While mansion moving isn't nearly as difficult a task as it was at the peak of the housing market collapse, there are still some celebrities who can't unload their seven- to eight-figure homes. We thumbed through the listings and, with help from Zillow(Z) and Trulia, found five celebrity homes that haven't budged despite price drops and multiple market postings:
50 Cent's Connecticut mansion
Asking price: $10 million
Former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson wasn't tight with a dollar, and the sprawling Farmington, Conn., estate he left behind is a testament to that spending.
Tyson pioneered hip-hop opulence in the 1980s, when he was crashing Bentleys in midtown Manhattan while most rappers were just trying to keep their sneakers clean. It's little surprise, then, that his home fell into the hands of rapper and Vitamin Water investor Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, who bought the property from Tyson's ex-wife for $4.1 million in 2003.
The deep discount from the $25 million asking price allowed Jackson to spend $6 million renovating and repairing the mansion's entourage-friendly 21 bedrooms, 25 full bathrooms, eight-car garage, five fireplaces, two guest houses and one-acre koi pond. A 40-person hot tub and grotto, a nightclub with a 20-screen video wall and stripper poles and enough bathrooms that you never have to use the same toilet two days in a row have lost a bit of their appeal since.
The house first hit the market for $18.5 million in 2007. Its basketball and tennis courts, recording studio and indoor shooting range proved no match for the housing slump or the lawsuit that forced Jackson to take it off the market in 2009. He relisted it for $14.5 million the same year, but he's been getting impatient with the commute to New York and has cut the price of Tyson's '80s dream palace almost in half.
Christina Aguilera's Los Angeles perch
Asking price: Removed from market
As the blonde teen songstresses of the '90s continue their slow decline into the game show hosts of the 2010s, fate becomes increasingly less kind to folks such as Christina Aguilera.
The Voice host put her Hollywood Hills mansion on the market in April 2008 for $8 million. The gorgeous midcentury modern with "Jetliner views from downtown to the ocean," was then taken off the market and re-listed for $6.3 million in 2010. After Aguilera split from husband Jordan Bratman, the price was reduced to $6 million.

Skip to comments.Protesters across globe rally against Monsanto - GMO
Posted on 05/26/2013 8:26:53 AM PDT by opentalk
click here to read article
But the same folks don't have a problem using food for fuel.
Obviously they've been drinking the GM kool aid for years already.
21st Century No-nothings.
Monsanto.....or at least its friends, recently managed to have an outrageous rider slipped into the 587-page funding bill Congress sent to President Obama.
The rider essentially prohibits the Department of Agriculture from stopping production of any genetically engineered crop once its in the ground, even if there is evidence that it is harmful.
Thats a pre-emptive Congressional override of the judicial system, since it is the courts that are most likely to ask the U.S.D.A. to halt planting or harvest of a particular crop.
Chemical's the new food group.
They must not be the no/low info voters we've heard so much about. Apparently they are the wrong info voters.
What does the nobility (Husseins, etc.) care? Apparently, when they're not shoveling junk food into their troughs, they have their slaves prepare only organic food.
Shouldn't you be marching with the rest of the clowns?
Amazing how the left has demonized Monsanto. There are scores, probably hundreds, of companies developing GM seeds around the world. Demonizing just one of them is classic Alinskyism in action.
I would have hoped that most people here would know better.
The same people favor the biggest federal government possible ... without which Monsanto, ADM and others would not exist because they get so many subsidies and favored tax status, exclusions from lawsuits, etc.
Yep. They would not be able to be such a huge company and monopolize the market without big federal government bully protection from competition.
The words "Genetically Modified" terrify ignorant leftists....they haven't a clue.
What is their favored tax status?
What makes you think they can't be sued?
...Not only GMO's, but Monsanto has the 'terminator seed'. This seed produces a plant with no viable seed to reuse for the following year. This seed is sold primarily in 3rd work regions desperate for food. AND - Here in the USA Monsanto patrols the heartland looking for farmers trying to reuse the seed they bought. Farmers are hit heavy with fines if they save seed for the next year. Monsanto has bought many small seed companies and now controls a large market share of our food supply. Follow their rules, or pay
... Monsanto seeds require the application of the Round-up chemicals to activate features; this way farmers have to buy the seeds AND the chemicals to spray on them!
... if GM seeds are no big deal then why all the fuss against labeling? Why not let consumers make their own choice? Why spend nearly $6 million on lobbying for the "Monsanto Protection Act," which was written anonymously, passed in secret, and allows Monsanto to keep selling genetically engineered seeds even if a federal court says they may pose a health risk?..
Monsanto has bought worldwide influence to prevent anyone from questioning them in a legal forum.
If they are so proud of their gmo crops, why are they afraid to label it in stores?
Let everyone who wants to eat gmo crops do so knowingly. Let everyone who wants to avoid eating gmo crops have the knowledge to do so. Seems fair.
Around here, an Amish farmer threw some gmo corn out by the edge of the woods and even the dear won't eat it... If they don't want it, I sure don't.
I've had this discussion on here before. The answer was, essentially, "Adding a small label that says 'GMO' would be far too burdensome on companies and drive them out of business."
So now we know.
I am very uncomfortable allowing increased centralization and control of food supplies by uber-corporations.
Food supplies like politics is best controlled at the local level.
A liberal judge decides they may pose a risk?
Sounds like a good reason to destroy billions of dollars in value.
Ethanol subsides for a start. Monsanto reaps huge benefits from subsides to corn farming for ethanol production. There is much more. The new bill in Congress proposes protection from lawsuits.
..Whole Foods says there is growing demand for products that don't use GMOs, with sales of products with a "Non-GMO" verification label spiking between 15 percent and 30 percent.
Exactly. This should be a Conservative issue ... if more conservatives would get their heads out about what centralization of EVERYTHING means.
Smaller is better. More local is better.
I thought Conservatives were supposed to be for more local control and less top-down control.
Centrally controlled food production should terrify Conservatives.
Oh please. Ethanol subsidies don't give Monsanto any taxpayer funds. You're really stretching. Any more realistic proof of your claim?
There is much more.
I'll wait for your proof.
The new bill in Congress proposes protection from lawsuits.
Can you be more specific in the protection you think they get?
"They would rather let Africans and Asians starve then modify food. Sometimes I wonder if starvation isn't the real left wing agenda."
Exactly what I was thinking.
I don't think that is quite right. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Monsanto supporter.
The GMO foods are resistant to the weed killer in Round-UP. In other words, it makes it possible to spray the weeds and not kill the crop along with the weeds. The problem is that no one really believes that Round-Up is not harmful to humans.
GMO foods enable farmers to grow more crops on less land. There is a huge push to open up land in the Pacific Northwest to growing grain and soybeans to ship to China, land which has been banned from growing anything by the federal government. GMO crops are the back-up crop for some of those new "coal" terminals that the Obama administration is pushing, with the support of of Republicans and TeaParty members. According to some of the representatives of the Gateway Pacific Terminal (Goldman Sachs), the Chinese have told them that they don't want our sub-bituminous coal, they want grain and soy beans. (but coal is the product that earns the support of the Republicans).
Why are you here posting?
Shouldn't you be marching with the rest of the clowns?
Hey, I like that solution! There's nothing to stop companies from labeling their food NON-GMO.
I didn't see any mention of the fact that the TeaParty was the original backer of this anti-Monsanto demonstration. I heard this because the local left, which has been opposing GMO foods for a long time, backed out of the local event when they found out that it was connected to the TeaParty.
Teach me. Use facts, not feelings.
So you are for ethanol subsidies?
Why should any industry get Federal subsidies?
Why does Monsanto need Federal laws to protect it from competition. If it has such great products, then why can't they stand on their own?
That's interesting (and encouraging) about the tea party opposition to Monsanto. Got any links to this?
Once they control all the seeds they control the entire food producion chain. Africans and Asians would be at their mercy if they didn't want to starve.
Slavery is coming back.
Centrally controlled food production should terrify Conservatives.
You're right. But some conservatives see some lefties protesting and automatically shut their minds.
Not now, not ever, never.
You said Monsanto couldn't survive without the subsidies they get. They were around a long time before the idiot politicians gave us these idiotic ethanol subsidies.
Why should any industry get Federal subsidies?
I agree, get rid of them. What does that have to do with your claim about Monsanto.
Why does Monsanto need Federal laws to protect it from competition.
You need to be more specific. What law protects them from competition?
Teach yourself.
I don't shut my mind when I see ignorant conservatives protesting alongside ignorant liberals.
It's easy to demonstrate against GMO foods when you're a low information luddite who has never been hungry a day in your life or watched family members die of starvation.
Great idea! Should I read silly articles like you?
I am extremely Conservative. Monsanto is using government power to abuse the Capitalist system.
I hope that GMO labeling moves forward. Let the marketplace decide, not D.C.
Meet a few of the games players
Michael Taylor was most recently appointed by Barack Obama to be the Senior Advisor to the Commisioner of the United States Food and Drug Administration. His previous post was also under Obama as the Deputy Commissioner for Foods (Food Safety Czar) at the FDA. He was also put in charge of the FDA under Bill Clinton where he approved Monsantos rBGH. Taylor worked with Monsanto by establishing and leading a food and drug law practice as well as later serving as Vice President for Public Policy at Monsanto. He also had a stint with the United States Department of Agriculture. Michael Taylors back and forth positions with Monsanto, the FDA, and the USDA over the course of nearly three decades is a perfect example of how big government and big business operate.
An Obama recess appointment, Mr. Siddiqui is the Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). He also served as Vice President for Science and Regulatory Affairs at CropLife America and lobbied for that same federation earlier in his career (CropLife America represents Monsanto among others). Siddiqui is a big supporter of GMOs and as Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs at the USDA, he oversaw the release standards permitting both irradiated and GMO foods be labeled as organic.
Founding president of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, which is a de facto Monsanto non-profit research center. Appointed by Obama to direct the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), which is an agency of the USDA. This puts Mr. Beachy, unconfirmed by the public and unelected, in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars for the countrys agricultural research policy.
Mr. Vilsack serves as the United States Secretary of Agriculture for the Obama Administration. Both as Iowa State Senator and Governor, Vilsack has shown his support for GMOs as well as CAFOs, concentrated animal feeding operations (factory farms). He even went so far as to support legislation that would prevent local governments from regulating CAFOs, and later, the locals regulation of genetically engineered seeds. There was also controversy surrounding Vilsacks travels via Monsanto corporate jet. Vilsack founded the Governors Biotechnology Partnership, and also was named governor of the year by the Biotechnology Industry Organization. As governor of Iowa, he was a big proponent of the use of GMO corn in the production of ethanol. Prior to being appointed Secretary of Agriculture, Vilsack worked as an of-counsel lawyer for Dorsey & Whitney.
Are you beginning to see the picture? Big agri business has its tentacles all throughout big government and vice versa. As those in control jump from one ship to the other, kickbacks, favors, and even employment opportunities are given while favorable laws are paid in turn. The result is an uneven playing field, and ultimately, the increased likelihood that your local farmer will be put out of business.
So when you see legislation that promotes public health or food safety you better band against it because it pretty much ensures you that both will be threatened, along with your basic liberties.
Obama has to s of Monsanto people in his admn. Hope tha helps.
Somewhere, Dr. Norman Borlaug is laughing at these people.
Are you against irradiated foods?
As it was, we were at a Corvette Car Show and they came by chanting "No More GTO's".
My solution is to shrink government, a lot.
Not to team up with ignorant liberals to spread ignorance.
Thats exactly right, this should not be political thing, I join my smelly brothers and sisters on the left in opposition to all GMO, s
No kidding. To these idiots, starvation is better than technology.

Strategy: How Cybercriminals Choose Their Targets and Tactics
Security pros and cybercriminals are locked in a struggle with each other, and fighting the battle gets more difficult by the day. Cybercriminals often fit no specific profile, and they frequently change their tools (which are powerful, and often freely available) and tactics. Indeed, they seem to adapt to new defenses just as quickly as they can be deployed.
To best defend against cybercrime, you need to spend time living in the world that cybercriminals live in — to understand what drives them, how they target their potential victims and how they decide what tools and tactics to use. In this Dark Reading report, we'll provide insight into the most current motives and opportunities for cybercrime, the most common practices for identifying vulnerabilities and the methods used for developing an attack.

'Calling all participants of the 'Wizzer Walk'. Time to collect that Sponsor Money!'.
(09/01/2012 @ 15:28:00)
It didn't seem that long ago on November 27th last year that 90 people took part in the West Somerset Railway Walk, also known as the 'Wizzer Walk' between Williton and Bishops Lydeard. For late November the day was very sunny and with moderate temperatures, walkers were able to enjoy the outstanding scenery over that ten mile stretch of line.
For those that took part in the walk , just a polite reminder that now Christmas is over, it may be time to approach those wonderful people who agreed to sponsor you.
The sponsorship forms allow half of the money to go to St. Margarets Hospice , the other half to the Heritage Carriages Project or alternatively all the money collected can go to the Heritage Carriages Project (H.C.P.) .
Just to tempt those raising the money, the prize for the walker raising the largest amount of money for the Heritage Carriages Project will receive this wonderful prize of a painting, kindly donated by Transport Artist Mike Tunnicliffe.
Completed Sponsor forms and cheques are payable to the WSSRT and addressed to the West Somerset Railway Walk, Bishops Lydeard Station, Bishops Lydeard, Taunton, TA4 3BX.
Happy New Year!

Source has told me # Browns are one of the teams # 49ers QB Alex Smith is interested in.
It couldn't hurt I guess.
It could possibly be a waste of money when all is said and done, but I think that having him, Weeds and some 3-7th round rookie all compete for the job is not a bad idea.
Then let Chud/Norv pick the guy they want.
and then if it all fails (which generally happens anyway), go draft Manziel or Bridgewater in the first in 2014.

Global deliveries of turbine business airplanes increased 7.2 percent in this year's first quarter over the first quarter of 2013, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. The jump in deliveries will most likely mean a boost to business at centers that perform aircraft completions and refurbishments and companies that provide interior components.

Your aircraft represents a wonderful business tool but also one of your largest potential exposures to catastrophic loss—one that could wipe out what you have spent years building. The importance of properly insuring against such loss should be obvious. Here's a look at the most critical coverage types and clauses.
August 4, 2014
When you're buying a jet, months of work culminate the moment you sign the papers. You're finished with research, analysis, due diligence and inspections. You've had the last of your consultations with brokers, attorneys, accountants, pilots and mechanics. The marathon has been run and now you can reap the rewards.

Which of the major bizav access models—charter, jet card or fractional ownership—best suits you? To begin to answer that question, determine which of the statements below apply to you. If more than half of the statements for an access option apply, it could be a good choice. Note, though, that not all statements carry equal weight; the hours you fly annually can trump other factors in determining whether a solution is appropriate.
July 20, 2014
Given the complexity of the deal and the money at stake, making a business aircraft change hands can seem almost like an act of magic. And as in Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, acts of this sort are best left to professionals—specifically, aircraft brokers and their teams.
July 10, 2014
As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.

Here's a look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.

If you did your research before adopting a puppy, you might be aware of the increased risk some breeds have of joint conditions like arthritis. Purebred dogs in particular tend to be more prone to painful conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia as they age, but there are things you can do as an owner to prevent damage to your pet's joints and protect them as they age.
Which breeds are at risk?
Large breeds such as purebred retrievers, Bernese mountain dogs, St. Bernards and Great Danes are at risk of arthritis and hip and elbow dysplasia, but small breeds can be too, particularly those bred to have short legs. Small dogs of any age can suffer from patellar luxation, a birth defect in which the kneecap pops out, causing the knee to lock. Dachshunds, bulldogs and basset hounds are all genetically predisposed to certain joint and elbow disorders.
It is important to remember that while some dogs have a higher risk of developing these conditions, any breed is subject to dog hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, arthritis and other joint problems. During your puppy's initial visits to the veterinarian, ask whether he might be particularly at risk.
How can I prevent damage?
When raising puppies, owners have the opportunity to prevent some damage. Generally, it's a good idea not to let your puppy jump from high heights before age 1. During this time, his joints and bones are still developing, and trauma can increase the risk of arthritis in dogs. Although play and exercise are an important part of any puppy's daily life, avoiding too much high-impact, rough play could protect the joints and bones.
VCA Animal hospitals reports owners can try to prevent hip dysplasia in dogs, especially larger breeds, by feeding them a special diet during their first year of life.
How can I protect the joints?
In addition to limiting your dog's activity, you can protect his joints with certain supplements. If your veterinarian thinks your dog has a high risk of joint problems, he or she may recommend giving him glucosamine supplements to promote cartilage in the joints.
As your dog ages, many veterinarians will recommend these supplements as a way of treating pain in dogs. The way they support cartilage in the joints can relieve some of the pain and inflammation caused by joint conditions.

The Digital Skeptic: Dreamliner Brings iPhone 'Reliability' to the Skies
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Uresh Sheth is like everybody else having bad dreams about the 787 Dreamliner: struggling with a crash course in keeping the Boeing (BA) wonderplane from, you know, crashing.
Sheth has a plum day gig analyzing mortgage-backed securities. But by night, starting back in 2008, the plane lover began collecting details on his passion craft in his blog, All Things 787 .
"What is fascinating about this plane is that it is totally different than anything in the past," Sheth told me.
Over time Sheth's meticulous collection of 787 Web factoids and active sources have created as valuable a picture of the project as I have found.
"Boeing really wanted to be a systems integrator with the 787. But that did not work out. So now they're also a manufacturer," Sheth said. "And the level of integration is so much more complex than anything out there."
Sheth's amateur 787-sleuthing puts the current Boeing battery crisis in a critical digital age context. Namely, that means the 186-foot, 502,500-pound flying machine is terribly similar to computers, cellphones or any other complex integrated hardware and software device:
Fabulous, but also fabulously complex. So complex that when things go south, one never really knows why.
Welcome to the dark age of digital aviation
Before you mistake the 787 Dreamliner for a mere plane, may I direct you to a 747-sized pile of white papers, case studies and academic literature Sheth has studied. Boeing made it clear early on that the plane was its transcontinental flight into tomorrow.
The craft would not only "bring the economics of large jet transport to the middle of the market." it would be built like no other. Forget pricey skilled labor handcrafting planes in a single factory in soggy Seattle. Oh no. The 787 would fly to the front of the outsourcing and Information Age manufacturing class by being built by a global army of brilliantly managed, interlocking experts. The company bragged that maintenance capabilities would be further enhanced by a library of cost-saving digital manuals and e-enabled engineers.
"We want it to be inexpensive for the airlines and safe for the passengers," said Molly Boose, technical fellow for intelligent graphics with Boeing Research and Technology in a company video .
And it all seemed like a brave new world of efficient air transport, save for one scrupulously well documented trend: Based on published documents, Boeing struggled mightily to manage the information needed to actually build the 787.
Lost in a cloud of data
The documentation of data gone wild with this plane is almost a cottage industry among journalists, analysts and academics.

And what I'm saying is that I don't think it matters to Howard. This guy, that guy, whoever. Good for O-town, hire wunderkid. Doesn't matter to Dewey. In his mind Howard is about getting hiis back right and getting out of Dodge to a contender with other players around him and a big, fat max deal after a faux S&T.
And van Gundy getting crushed by Howard? Why does a dog lick himself? There's your answer.
I can not ascribe a single rational motive to staying in O-town for Howard right now, thus all of the FO persoonel details you lay out per the blogosphere are non sequitors to me.

Dog adoption is a great way to help a canine in need find a happy home, but it also can make it difficult to get a good grasp on your pet's history, especially if you've adopted an older dog. Here are some tips for adoptive parents who want to make life as easy as possible for their pet, even if they aren't aware of his entire history.
Time for a visit to the vet
First and foremost, you'll need to take your dog to one of the nearby veterinary hospitals for a checkup. A medical professional can give your dog an examination and possibly run tests to assess whether he has any outstanding pet health issues that will need your attention. A vet can also update any dog vaccinations to ensure protection against certain infectious diseases. Visiting the vet is very helpful for first-time pet owners, as you can get professional advice on dog food and care tips to help your pet adjust to his new home.
It's not all physical
If you don't know your dog's history, it's possible he may have suffered a mental or emotional trauma that could come as a surprise later on down the line. It's hard to anticipate what these may be, but keeping any eye out for unusual behavior problems like dog aggression can be a key. For instance, if your dog shows fear when going up or down stairs, it may be that he had a bad experience on a staircase at some point in the past. It may take some time to train him to get over this fear, or he may overcome it simply by being in a safe environment. The important thing is to be supportive of your dog and show him that he is secure in your home.
Develop a routine
Dogs are animals who thrive on routine, so minimizing the number of surprises in your dog's life will help him adjust to his new life. Try to schedule walks and feedings at the same times every day, and if possible, make any out-of-the-home commitments, like work, as stagnant as possible. Dogs in a new home will benefit from extra care and attention, so be sure to monitor your dog's progress as much as you can in his first weeks with you.

Future of Windows--and .NET--Not in Doubt
Reports of Windows' demise in the enterprise have been greatly exaggerated. So says our InformationWeek Windows 8 survey of 975 business technology pros at companies with 500 or more employees. When asked about operating systems in use, 90% say they support Windows XP, and 81% run Windows 7; about half overall expect to migrate to Windows 8, though when we drill down, the numbers are greater on the server side vs. desktops and mobile. Still, new laptops will be shipping with the OS soon enough, and enterprise IT teams and developers should get familiar with the significant changes represented by the Metro-style touch-centric interface, by which Microsoft aims to bring the usability and interactivity of smartphone apps to desktops and laptops via live tiles, widgets and gadgets.
The good news for IT: Microsoft promises that anything that runs on Windows 7 will also run on Windows 8, making the transition easy—and maybe even worthwhile, given some slick new features. (S4000112)

Boston Red Sox Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Boston Red Sox have enjoyed an illustrious history since joining the American League in 1901. The Red Sox have appeared in the World Series 12 times and won it all on eight occasions. Boston was a dominant team early in the 20th century – they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in the inaugural World Series in 1903, and went on to win the Series four more times before 1918. After 1918, the Red Sox fell victim to one of the longest championship droughts in all of the major sports – it wasn't until 2004 that the franchise won another title. The Red Sox are one of the more beloved franchises in MLB history, and their memorabilia is full of classic collectibles that will infinitely retain high value.
Boston's 86-year championship drought was credited to the "Curse of the Bambino," which referred to the Red Sox decision to sell the contract of MLB legend Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. Despite not winning a title in 86 years, the Red Sox were a team to be reckoned with and were responsible for many of the most memorable World Series moments ever. A change in ownership in 1933 turned the struggling franchise around. The new owner acquired players like Lefty Grove, Joe Cronin and Jimmie Foxx and ultimately made the franchise respectable again.
In 1939, the Ted Williams era started for the Boston Red Sox. Williams, one of the best MLB players ever, consistently hit for a high average while producing a good amount of power. In 1941, Williams batted .406 for the season, the last time an MLB player has batted over .400 in a season. Williams, a Hall of Famer, had a dominant career to the tune of 521 home runs, 2,654 hits and 1,839 RBIs. Williams is an integral part of Boston Red Sox history because he played his entire career for the team in a sport where even the best players occasionally switch teams. Williams was a 19-time All-Star, two-time AL MVP, won the Triple Crown twice and was the AL Batting Champion on six occasions.
After Williams' retirement in 1960, the Red Sox struggled to fill the huge void left behind by his superstar status. In 1961, someone capable of replacing Williams came along, his name was Carl Yastrzemski. One of the best hitters ever, Yastrzemski led the franchise to the 1967 World Series but the team ultimately lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. Yastrzemski enjoyed a spectacular season in '67 as he won the AL Triple Crown after hitting .326 with 44 home runs and 121 RBIs.
Yastrzemski retired after the 1983 season, and it wasn't until 1986 that the Red Sox would come close to winning another World Series title. During the '86 season, Boston was led by Jim Rice, a Hall of Fame hitter, and ace Roger Clemens. Behind the play of Clemens and Rice, the Red Sox made it to the World Series, where they matched up against a heavily-favored New York Mets team. Boston was up in the series 3-2 after five games, and they seemed primed for a title for the first time since 1918. The Red Sox took a 5-3 lead into the bottom of the tenth inning against the Mets, victory was seemingly theirs but then one of the most famous sequences in baseball history occurred. A wild pitch tied the game and then a slow groundball bounced between the legs of Bill Buckner, allowing the Mets to tie the series and eventually win it in a game seven.
The 2004 season will forever be marked in Red Sox history as the year the "Curse of the Bambino" was destroyed. With players like Curt Shilling, Keith Foulke and Johnny Damon, the Red Sox were ready to make a postseason run that would finally result in a championship. The road to the title, though, didn't look to clear after the team dropped the first three games of the AL Championship Series to their hated rivals the New York Yankees. Boston then became the first team in MLB history to fall 3-0 in a series and come back to win it. After their epic comeback against the Yankees, the Red Sox faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. Boston never trailed in the series and after 86 years finally brought a World Series title back to Beantown. Outfielder Manny Ramirez was named World Series MVP.
Boston duplicated its title run again in 2007 after the emergence of rookie Dustin Pedroia and Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. The Red Sox rolled through the playoffs and made it to the World Series where they matched up against the Colorado Rockies. Boston dominated the Rockies and finished its championship run in four games; third baseman Mike Lowell was named World Series MVP. After struggling to win for over 80 years, Boston became the first team to win three World Series titles in the 21st century after once again beating the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
The Red Sox have one of the most storied histories in all of baseball that much is obvious. All across the U.S. and the world, fans proudly wear their Red Sox gear. After suffering through a legendary drought, Boston has become a franchise that is accustomed to winning and that's why investing in Red Sox memorabilia is such an easy decision. With a list of Hall of Famers like Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, Jimmie Foxx, Wade Boggs and Lefty Grove, there isn't a shortage of available classic Red Sox memorabilia. Any piece of Red Sox memorabilia would be a great addition to a MLB collection.
- Ted Williams Photo: Ted Williams is one of the best baseball players to ever play the game, period. Williams, a Hall of Famer, had a dominant career to the tune of 521 home runs, 2,654 hits and 1,839 RBIs. Williams is an integral part of Boston Red Sox history because he played his entire career for the team in a sport where even the best players occasionally switch teams. Williams was a 19-time All-Star, two-time AL MVP, won the Triple Crown twice and was the AL Batting Champion on six occasions. Ted Williams' collectibles are a unique piece of history that will never fall in value. His memorabilia represents the golden era of professional baseball and an opportunity to capture a moment in time with an authentic Ted Williams photo is something that should not be passed up.
- Dustin Pedroia Memorabilia: One of the best defensive second basemen in the MLB, Dustin Pedroia has won three Gold Glove Awards for the Boston Red Sox since joining the team in 2006. Pedroia is a four-time All-Star, two-time World Series Champion, AL Rookie of the Year (2007) and AL MVP (2008). Dustin Pedroia memorabilia will only continue to increase in value as he keeps his stellar play at a high level. Red Sox memorabilia is something that takes average collections to another level due to the franchise's storied legacy, and adding Dustin Pedroia collectibles to the mix honors a Boston baseball megastar and will only help establish a quality sports collection .
- Carl Yastrzemski Baseball Bat: Carl Yastrzemski is another legendary Boston Red Sox player; he played his entire 23-year career for the franchise and accumulated numbers that were unthinkable at the time. Yastrzemski was an 18-time All-Star, an AL MVP, a seven-time Gold Glove Award winner and was the last player, until 2012, to win the Triple Crown when he did so in 1967. A signed Carl Yastrzemski bat is a perfect within a collection of classic MLB memorabilia and is also a great way to commemorate the 452 home runs, 3,419 hits and 1,844 RBIs Yastrzemski recorded by the premier slugger.
- Autographed David Ortiz Jersey: David Ortiz is the player who younger Red Sox fans will remember as their equivalent to Carl Yastrzemski. Ortiz has played for Boston since 2003, and has been a main factor in the three World Series Championships for the Red Sox in his time with the team. As a member of the Red Sox, Ortiz has been named an All-Star nine times, won six Silver Slugger awards, the AL MVP Award in 2004 and World Series MVP Award in 2013. A signed David Ortiz is the best way for a younger Red Sox fan to establish memorabilia that will become classic once his playing days come to an end. One can see from looking at the way memorabilia from former Red Sox Hall of Fame players retains value that the time to invest in a David Ortiz jersey is now.
- Boston Red Sox Memorabilia: The 2013 Boston Red Sox were a team on a path toward redemption. Led by David Ortiz, the 2013 Sox rolled through a successful season and clinched their third World Series title in the 21st century, becoming the first team to do so. The franchise clinched the title at Fenway Park for the first time since the 1918 World Series, making the victory that much sweeter for Boston fans. The ultimate way to honor a team's success is with a piece of sports memorabilia that has been signed by several members of the 2013 World Series Champions, including: David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Clay Buchholz, Xander Bogaerts, John Farrell, Mike Napoli, and Shane Victorino, among others. This photo captured a historic moment in team history, making it a must have in any Red Sox memorabilia collection.

Skip to comments.Some families to be priced out of health overhaul (Obama's hands tied by how law was written)
Posted on 01/31/2013 12:42:49 PM PST by SeekAndFind
WASHINGTON (AP) - Some families could get priced out of health insurance due to what's being called a glitch in President Barack Obama's overhaul law. IRS regulations issued Wednesday failed to fix the problem as liberal backers of the president's plan had hoped.
As a result, some families that can't afford the employer coverage that they are offered on the job will not be able to get financial assistance from the government to buy private health insurance on their own. How many people will be affected is unclear.
The Obama administration says its hands were tied by the way Congress wrote the law. Officials said the administration tried to mitigate the impact. Families that can't get coverage because of the glitch will not face a tax penalty for remaining uninsured, the IRS rules said.
"This is a very significant problem, and we have urged that it be fixed," said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA, an advocacy group that supported the overhaul from its early days. "It is clear that the only way this can be fixed is through legislation and not the regulatory process."

By legislation, huh? Good luck with that.
You'll be able to keep your own doctor and insurance - broken promise number 12,37...oh, never mind......
The ethics of congress are so compromised that they are incapable of producing legislation that benefits the citizens of the USA.
The Obama administration says its hands were tied by the way Congress wrote the law.
But we had to (rush to) pass it so we can see what is in it?
[typing what I really think here may be legally actionable, so I'll refrain]
"We have to pass it so we can find out what is in it."
With our Dear Leader it's always someone else's fault, isn't it?
"The Obama administration says its hands were tied by the way Congress wrote the law"
'Just another, "I didn't know nothing" excuse to throw "Congress" under the bus. Well, he sure pushed hard enough to have his darling pelosi say to find out what was in the bill after they could get a chance to read it. Yes massa, elections have consequences, sure 'nuff.
Really, he didn't care what the consequences would be,
because 0bamacare isn't the goal,
it's the tentacles getting into our system,
then when it doesn't work,
it'll be set aside in favor of total government control of the healthcare system, instead of this facade of individual choice and involvement.
This year, the rate increased, so the premium now exceeds her pay. She could work more, but her hours are limited to 30 per week.
We don't qualify for financial assistance, and I don't qualify for COBRA anymore.
Having a great time out here. Glad to see Obama still has time to golf.
you know talking about a black man having his hands tied is RAAAAAACIST, don't you?
This may be an escape hatch for a lot of people looking for ways not to comply. Decline employer health insurance, not required to buy insurance. This needs to be exploited all the way.
I wish I had a counterargument for you . . .
This, and everything else the left does, is a transfer of money from producers to those who vote democrat.
If it hurts more people than it helps, the left could care less.
ObamaCare is a house of cards that is designed - like death from 1000 stabs - to slowly drive people into federal health care.
As for costs, my healthcare premium went UP 25% Jan. 1 due to ObamaCare stipulating that pre-exisiting conditions be covered. They say 40% of their new applicants have pre-exisiting condition.
So, when is Obama going to get booted out of office? Anyone? Have answers anyone? Congress? Patriots? Helloooo!
So, when is Obama going to get booted out of office? Anyone? Have answers anyone? Congress? Patriots? Helloooo!
Don't you remember? During the "fiscal cliff" negotiations with Beaner, O promised him that he (O) was going to blame EVERYTHING on the Republicans if he didn't get his way. Well, I guess that was the only promise he's ever kept.
This country is run by IDIOTS!!
The Obama administration says its hands were tied by the way Congress...
The favorite clause of the Obama administration.
RE: This country is run by IDIOTS!!
The more disturbing question is this -— WHO VOTED FOR THEM?
To quote a former member of the Baraqqi regime
"What difference does it make?"
"...hands were tied by the way Congress wrote the law."
Wait...what Republican in Congress helped to write this law?
For that matter, which Democrat did?
Wasn't the vast part of this bill written by the Apollo Alliance?
RE: Wasnt the vast part of this bill written by the Apollo Alliance?
Not sure about that. I do know that Harry Reid credited the Apollo Alliance with helping to create the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (also known as the stimulus bill)
Very sorry to hear of your trials. I know this may be hard, but this exactly what Medicaid is supposed to be for. Please look into it.
That's the safety net we all agree on rather than the life-long entitlement.
"The Obama administration says its hands were tied by the way Congress wrote the law."
The way the DEMOCRATS wrote the law...
In fact, is Obama in charge of anything other than the Office of Celebrity Appearances?
His family probably doesn't quite qualify for Medicaid just like ours doesn't. Every year or so the state of Washington sends us a letter saying we are being evaluated for transfer into Medicaid. But then about three months later we get another letter saying we don't qualify due to retirement assets (which aren't that much). Recently they raised the qualifying ceiling but still doesn't quite cut it.
Hmmm. Bookmarking this mess.
I remember Mark Steyn saying this years ago. When health care is nationalized, he said, every election and every political discussion becomes an argument about getting enough ambulances to each hospital and getting just the right number of doctor visits for each patient and getting proper medical care for every citizen's hangnails. This is just the start of those endless political discussions.
God help us.
The Apollo Alliance wrote a Cap and Trade bill too. There is enough evidence to suggest that they were essential to the health care debacle bill as well.
And, of course, Soros has his fingers in several pies as well.
"Weve talked about moving forward on these ideas for decades. The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them. ....Harry Reid
Don't for get this:
Radicals Wrote Failed Stimulus
And this:
The Apollo Alliance ( what are they building ? )
A noteworthy descriptor of the bills they write: Incredibly huge
"his hands are tied...behind his back as he was marched to the gallows, after being tried and found guilty for treasonous acts against the Citizens of the United States of America, where he was hung by the .........
Whoops, sorry wrong thread
Identify the "glitch" and exploit it.
I've got a real simple fix. Scrap the whole damn thing, then give low cost policies to those who WANT and NEED help.
There you go.
If it was about assuring that everyone has healthcare that is precisely what should be done, they could care less.. Unfortunately, it is about government power and control, it is the final step into socialism.
He is invoking the "Congress" rule. Just mention Congress and the national idiots will think the Republicans passed healthcare. He knows full well how stupid the electorate is, he must laugh his ass off all the time, especially when he boards AF1.
"...every election and every political discussion becomes an argument about getting enough ambulances to each hospital..."
Interesting point. Just like the local and State taxes are now. "Without this tax increase we will need to lay off 128 firefighters...."
BTW - my family's insurance premium is now more than my frikkin mortgage! (And that is the cheap plan - although I imagine sex change operations and abortions are covered.)
Off-topic - but you know how we say wrt the 2nd Amendment on "what part of 'shall not be infringed' don't you understand?"
Heck - they don't even know what "affordable" means. (Affordable Healthcare Plan. Heh.)
The Constitution, the legally passed DOMA law and the legally passed Immigration Laws, and I am certain many more haven't "tied Obama's hands," so why, OH WHY, would THIS law do it?
Maybe because he WANTS people to beg Government to help them and safe them from their own stupidity!
FUBO and the sycophant media pushing this DRIVEL!
HR3590 has more than 2000 pages but here is a summary, only 49 pages
In my opinion, there were 18 million people without healthcare insurance but Obamacare transforms the entire national health care system and affects all residents of the U.S., not just the 18 million.
In the HR3590 summary, the words Requires the Secretary (of HSS) appear 98 times and Directs the Secretary appears 64 times. Authorizes the Secretary appears 30 times. The law gives a tremendous amount of power to one individual, Kathleen Sebelius, who was NOT elected by We, the People, and who serves at the will of the President.
The IRS may need as many as 16,000 additional auditors, agents and other employees to investigate and collect billions in new taxes from Americans. The government could have just expanded Medicaid to provide healthcare to the 18 million people and ask taxpayers to pay 1 to 2% more on their income tax to fund it. There is a great need for health care and I believe most Americans would have been willing to this tax. Instead we have a humongous mishmash of rules and regulations and taxations that intrude and affect every aspect of our lives.
After reading this information it appears that the Affordable Health Care Act is a wolf in sheeps clothing. The good stuff, coverage for children under 26 years old and pre-existing coverage were initiated first. Then the heavy fines and taxations and mandates will take effect in 2013 or later, after the November election of course.
The Obama Administration has already handed out 111 Obamacare waivers to U.S. companies. Unfortunately, if you're a small business or don't have connections you can't get a waiver for your company. And there are some select groups who are exempt (Prisoners, illegal aliens, and foreign nationals, Amish, Mennonites, Scientologists and some Muslims). I think that Issuing waivers and exemptions to certain groups of people provides unequal treatment under the law. All laws should apply to all people. It is for this reason that this law violates the Constitution and should be thrown out. Just my opinion.
Stein knows what he's talking about here. He experienced the political ramifications of nationalized health care in Britain and Canada. Any rational person would have avoided nationalization looking at the history of the Brits and Canadians if their interest was creating great health care... but it is rational if your interest is creating political influence and power.
God help us.
Obamacare was never about "healthcare".
It has always been about "control". That is, control of both a large segment of the American economy and control of our lives.
Don't kid yourself. Nobody was trying to do a "good deed" for the American people.
"I think that Issuing waivers and exemptions to certain groups of people provides unequal treatment under the law. All laws should apply to all people. It is for this reason that this law violates the Constitution and should be thrown out."
That's right, it plainly violates the Civil Rights Act
"If it was about assuring that everyone has healthcare that is precisely what should be done, they could care less.. Unfortunately, it is about government power and control, it is the final step into socialism."
Extended Territorial Government Work/Labor Camp.
There was a thread awhile ago with a fairly old paper I think talking about how the money flowing through the economy is like a creek flowing into a lake. Once the money is in the population's hands (the lake), it is hard to take it back out. Of course there are taxes, but the money is already being used in the individual's interests funding business, etc.
The trick is to divert the money from the creek before it even gets to the lake. Government health insurance, and soon - Government health CARE (to fix the "crisis" created by Obamacare), will take a huge chunk of money (and power) out of the private market and directly into the government.
