The Meltdown of Western Medicine, Part III
Don't look now (is it already too late?)
By Susan Callaway, Editor

Don't look now (is it already too late?), but your health care is just about to be sucked down that big black hole into total chaos. You don't believe that? Then you have just not been paying attention.

The one with CONTROL of the wealth is the one who calls the shots. This is true in every aspect of life. Health care is no exception.

We all know who controls the wealth, and it isn't us. By many means, which have been discussed at length in many articles, the government of the U.S. has taken over control of all the wealth in this country. We appear to "control" at least some of it, but that is mere illusion if you consider the vast array of regulations, taxes and outright bans - not to mention the fact that the very "value" of that "money" we think we control can be reduced to zero in seconds if the power brokers decide to do so. This includes real estate, stock, and investments of every kind. Barter items and precious metals, etc. are only worth something if you are free to move about and trade them with others.
So, what does this have to do with health care? Everything. You get what you pay for. If you don't control what and who is paid, you have no real voice in things, no matter how much you believe the propaganda about "patient rights", "confidentiality", "choice", or any of the other fairy tales.

The Power Of Women
for good or for evil
By Dorothy Anne Seese

The fact that women have allowed the media to influence them into becoming the late 20th and early 21st century "victim class of the world" doesn't mean improvement in their influence on the well-being of the earth, in fact, quite the opposite. In a few nations (which is really a private religious affair) women have been subjugated by eighth century cultures with a brutal religious view of females. Whether their "liberation" among violent men will bring a semblance of peace to such fanatic believers with suitcase nukes in their camelbags is questionable. It has only been where formerly civilized Greek, Roman and western culture prevailed that women have exercised great influence without masculinity before being conned into becoming the newest class of humanoids on the planet, female males or lesbians, "straights" with a power complex, and contributors to the breakdown of the nuclear home and the rise of the new world order or global governance.

And yes, "Dorothy" is a female name, belonging to a "straight" female with nothing more to offer than another analysis of times, trends and events, focusing the lens now on this generation of women and what they have done to our world in which I am a combatant for the traditional family and the Christian faith. For the WW II era in which I grew up and the 1950's in which I was a student and young woman, we had an unfair discrimination against women with talent. What I wanted (and did not get) was a short career as a journalist and a long career as a wife and mother, perhaps returning to journalism after the children were of age. Never did I believe in trying to balance a full-time career and its multiple demands with being a full-time homemaker. It was and is my belief that a woman who chooses to marry and have children sacrifices her personal career objectives and subordinates them to the family unit until the children have left for college or are otherwise on their own. If she has the talent and opportunity to make a home business (writer, cosmetic lady, crafts expert) then she has every right to use these talents at home as long as the house is clean, the husband and children are fed in a healthy and timely fashion, and her eyes are everywhere on the whereabouts of the children and their companions.

Texas Straight Talk
Against NATO Expansion
by Congressman Ron Paul - R - TX

In the House of Representatives, March 30, 2004

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this resolution. I do so because further expansion of NATO, an outdated alliance, is not in our national interest and may well constitute a threat to our national security in the future.

More than 50 years ago the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed to defend Western Europe and the United States against attack from the communist nations of Eastern Europe. It was an alliance of sovereign nations bound together in common purpose – for mutual defense. The deterrence value of NATO helped kept the peace throughout the Cold War. In short, NATO achieved its stated mission. With the fall of the Soviet system and the accompanying disappearance of the threat of attack, in 1989–1991, NATO’s reason to exist ceased. Unfortunately, as with most bureaucracies, the end of NATO’s mission did not mean the end of NATO. Instead, heads of NATO member states gathered in 1999 desperately attempting to devise new missions for the outdated and adrift alliance. This is where NATO moved from being a defensive alliance respecting the sovereignty of its members to an offensive and interventionist organization, concerned now with "economic, social and political difficulties...ethnic and religious rivalries, territorial disputes, inadequate or failed efforts at reform, the abuse of human rights, and the dissolution of states," in the words of the Washington 1999 Summit.
