These are all the faces I went through on a previous post. Follow the eyes, hairlines, noses …
Where, oh where, is our universal healthcare?
All “developed nations” provide universal health care to each and every citizen, except one. The United States is the lone exception. We hardly discuss universal health care anymore. We’re too busy chattering on about insurers, hospitals, drug companies, doctors, anything but universal healthcare. Universal healthcare does not necessarily mean government-only health care. Many developed countries implementing a universal health care systems offer both public and private insurance and medical providers.
Universal healthcare systems fall into three basic categories: Single Payer, Two-Tier and Insurance Mandate. Continue reading “Where, oh where, is our universal healthcare?”
The Get Out of Jail Free Card: Manuel Noriega, Michael Milken
Please note, in the text that follows there will be references to spook numbers contained in Wikipedia, a way of messaging one another that we outsiders are not supposed to understand. The numbers they use have significance to them, and are often expressed in many ways. “33”, for instance, a widely used one, can be expressed as 3+3, or 6, 3*3, or 9, or 3^3, 27. Other numbers that seem to recur are 8, 22, 11, 47 (perhaps just another way to say 11), 77 (always watch out for terrorist events on July 7), and 555. In reading over the Wikipedia pages regarding Noriega and Milken, these numbers appeared frequently and out of sequence.
Manuel Noriega
The life and times of Manuel Noriega does not read right. We are told that he worked closely with the CIA from the 1950s up until the US invasion of Panama in 1989. We are told that he ran cocaine during this time, and that the CIA was aware of it, but found him otherwise useful and so overlooked his activities. Here’s Wikipedia:

Who needs the IRS when we have fake churches to launder political cash?
Right on schedule, Trump fakes delivery of another campaign promise. Right-wing, authoritarians have long advocated against any prohibition against bonding politics and religion, claiming it infringes on their rights of free speech and religious expression.
This is not a new battle between right and left, and is not restricted to the U.S.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Today we commemorate Mexico’s victory at the Battle of Puebla (1862), one year after the end of Mexico’s Reform War (1858–61). The Reform War was a civil war fought over the issue of separation of church and state. Liberals believed in freedom of religion and separation, while Conservatives favored union between the Roman Catholic Church and the Mexican State.

Just for giggles …
The two photos above were taken on the same day, part of Jon Tester’s run for Senate from my former and Steve Kelly’s current home state of Montana in 2006. I am hoping that our astute readers can point out some obvious inconsistencies.
Bokanovsky’s Brats
Note to readers: We are, at this time, four writers on this blog. (We are always on the lookout for new voices, by the way.) Each of us has traveled a different path to develop our own perspectives and voices. I look with great anticipation at what the others might post on any given day. Their thoughts are their own, as are mine. This particular post is a bit reachy, a step into the unknown, and I want it understood at the outset that the others are not part of the process that brings it to the fore. They got their own things going on. MT
This post is a trip into uncharted waters. I am up against a great unknown: ‘They’ appear to be manufacturing stars, musicians, politicians, academicians, scientists, in fact, makeshift people. They are given identities, endowed with unearned expertise and talent, and made to seem a natural result of the ever-ongoing search for talent.
Our friend Straight has a remarkable eye for masks and sees through them with more ease than the average person. This blog benefited tremendously not only with his written posts, but hours of behind-the-scenes help as we tried to pick up on twins, zombies, and other assorted public hoaxes. Yes, we made those rookie mistakes, but we learned so much in the process.
JFKTV: Segment Nine
Caretakers of the hoax
Whether dupes, useful idiots or outright assets, the original generation of JFK researchers started right away in assessing the claims of the official narrative. One individual who still posthumously carries a great deal of weight within the Grassy Knoll Society is the character known as Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. His shtick in effect was “I was right there in the belly of the beast”. He worked in the Pentagon from 1953 to early 1964 as the liaison between the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the intelligence agencies, specifically the CIA.
The Grassy Knollers hold Col. Prouty in high esteem. The spy craft term “limited hang-out”* seems apt here: The parceling out of a certain amount of good information along with some obfuscation to set the researcher down paths to a predetermined conclusion. IE, “Kennedy Shot Dead”. Continue reading “JFKTV: Segment Nine”
Protection for Northern Rockies ecosystems.
Here’s some public-lands news you probably won’t read in the pages of the NYT or WaPo. It might not make the local news either. The following is today’s press release from House and Senate sponsors. H.R. 2135 in the House, the Senate bill is S. 936.

Reps. Maloney, Grijalva and Sen. Whitehouse Introduce Legislation to Protect Pristine Northern Rockies Ecosystem
WASHINGTON – To protect a major pristine ecosystem in the Northern Rockies that is currently under threat from logging and other industrial activities, Representative Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12) and House Committee on Natural Resources Ranking Member Raúl Grijalva (AZ-3), along with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), introduced the Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (NREPA) today in both the House and Senate. The bill would designate 23 million acres of America’s premiere road-less lands in five states; Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon and Washington, as permanent wilderness. It would also designate nearly 1,800 miles of rivers and streams as wild and scenic rivers.
For the first time, NREPA has been introduced with companion legislation in the Senate.

Thom Hartmann: Government stooge
I have been reviewing past work concerning Brandon deWilde, who in my opinion faked his death in 1972 in order to become radio personality and author Thom Hartmann. Mr. deWilde was a somewhat familiar face to me. I probably saw episodes of Alfred Hitchcock, Wagon Train or Hawaii Five-O as a kid. deWilde was a familiar face for a few years on our TV screens. He did not stand out to me, but I do have a faded memory of that face.
Brandon deWilde was good friends (and is anyone surprised?), with Gram Parsons, whom we have outed here as also faking his death (“their death,” as Parsons was a set of twins). This is a red flag for deWilde, being buddies with another zombie. Also note this from Wikipedia, concerning his death in Lakewood, Colorado, just a few miles from where I live:
DeWilde’s final western role was in Dino De Laurentiis‘ 1971 spaghetti western The Deserter, one year before his death.[8]
That “[8]” is a spook marker, along with 11,27, 33 and all the variations. It’s a way of spooks telling other spooks that the death was fake.
Another fake fiscal crisis.
Our “republican” form of government, or our (representative) democracy, if you prefer, is inconsistent with neo-liberal economics. You can have one or the other, but not both, simultaneously.
According to the MSM, “we’re facing another government shut-down.”
Is that so? Why is that so? Almost every member of Congress, all 535 members, is sworn to implement one or more of the principles of neo-liberal economics. Austerity measures are attempts to take a meat ax to government spending in an alleged effort to “control the deficit” and “pay down the national debt.”
