Do we have classic socialized medicine in the United States?
Do we have national healthcare inspired by European democratic socialism? What we have is political medicine.
With socialism , goods and services are rationed by something other than price. Who gets what or how much in terms of healthcare is determined by political power. Those with little or no political power have get very little to none in terms of healthcare.
How does ObamaCare kill ? It turns doctors into clerks and patients into commodities. Insurance plans are actually life management plans and have no characteristics of genuine insurance. Under Obama Care , preventive healthcare comes down to starting patients with anointed maladies on big pharma life extending prescriptions drugs.
Doctors no longer talk to patients about genuine preventive measures like losing weight. A doctor’s role now , is to mine for problems to exploit on behalf of the hugefinanciallypowerful firms which lobbied for decades to get the bill passed. After those are found,
any other patient issues are explained away, postponed or ignored. Doctors now act as agents of the state…. helping to carry out national healthcare agendas. From your doctor, do you get his opinion or a political opinion? Truth is not used in politics. So, is not truth used in medicine?
This is why the death rate in the U.S. is increasing. It is going to get a lot worse. When was the last time you can remember a bad law being repealed in the United States?
Are Americans crazy? I say no. What we
can see is mal-adaptive behavior. As
previously mentioned the evolution of free
markets and democratic systems, in terms of
economics is of greater influence than the
invention of the wheel.
What we are seeing worldwide are
populations consumed and absorbed in
instinctive behavior. The emergence of free
markets and democratic principles changes
the way mankind reasons intellectually. It
does not change the adherence to instinctive
behavior.
So, what human thoughts and behaviors with respect to politics and economics are
caused by instinctive behavior and are not sourced in reasoning? Virtually all of them.
1.) It is deemed patriotic to enthusiastically, support whatever national initiative leaders come up with. It is deemed unpatriotic to do otherwise. This is exactly what a totalitarian system calls for. Following the leader like children amounts to volunteering for slavery. In mankind’s DNA, this is the path to follow. Thoughts change faster than the ability of DNA to adapt.
2.) A central authority is what determines what is truth and all who disagree are rejecting what is good. What modern censorship does is squelch independent thought with dialog deemed to be the only truth as it is spoken by those deemed to know, even though they don’t.
3.) All of citizen’s basic and most important decisions are made by whatever central authority they have at their disposal. Is that really mankind’s preference? It is not intellectually, but it is not the thinking brain which makes political decisions. It is the animal brain. Folks vote for this system over and over again.
These are only three of the mal-adaptive behaviors that are destroying the country. Any
complete list would be longer than my arm.
So what we have is a huge gap between what the thinking brain can figure out and what the instinctive animal brain directs us all to do. Must we be herd animals? No we don’t have to be.The thinking brain can override the animal brain. If there is no thinking or no thinking encouraged, the animal brain gets its way. Americans are not thinking and those within the power structure are happy to have it that way. I will say that suffering activates the thinking brain.
The American mind set is such that what is right is deemed wrong and what is wrong is deemed right. The system is going to collapse because the American mindset is such that forward progress is not now possible.
Is there anything an individual can do? Personally, I can’t think of a thing. But we all must
realize that we are in an every man for himself situation. It does make sense to assume this
posture as early as possible.
Folks are wondering about why the stock market is still doing so well. The stock market is strong because it is not allowed to be otherwise. This will change. When it does, understand that there will be monumental heroic efforts to save it. This may include something like nationalizing parts of the tech industry so that all of the insiders lose little or no value.
Basically, our government actually actually is, the group that governs our government and
through our government governs us all. So are we dealing with a worldwide crime syndicate?
Well, the New York mob never placed formal notifications that they were in existence and that crime was their business model. Just a few of the world’s richest citizens have more power and influence than all of the world’s governments put together. So, do we need to wait until the elite make a formal announcement, that they are they are functioning as a crime syndicate and plan on continuing? Or, do we go with what we see that is completely obvious to anyone with the courage to look?
So, that is it in a nutshell. Expect the worst and you won’t be disappointed.
No activity on earth is as lucrative as serving as the steward of lives of others. At this historical juncture corporations such as big tech, big pharma, big health insurance and big banks are positioning themselves to function as stewards of the American people.
Why is information about hydroxychloroquine, vitamin c, zinc and other anti viral substances being censored by organizations with no previous history of censoring anything? Why at this unique period of time in history? What is the emergency in keeping these perfectly legal drugs and supplements out of the bodies of American citizens?
There is no other reason than that the success of inexpensive remedies would deem a mandatory vaccine for all Americans unnecessary. As stewards of your lives, big pharma and big health insurance would be guaranteed massive automatic windfalls as far into the future as can be fathomed. Big tech and big banks are also poised to serve as your stewards in other areas. All of the involved corporations maintain symbiotic relationships with one another, government and media. So, there is an ongoing cooperative effort to keep any information out of the public’s awareness that might prevent people from accepting the the worlds largest corporations as their stewards.
The question is, how successful will these organizations be in their endeavors? Odds are in their favor. Behavior in the political arena is universally misunderstood. When votes are cast voters are actually choosing others to make decisions for them and guarantee their security. The number of those who prefer that representatives serve as delegates can be rounded off to zero. That which makes folks feel safe, secure and unthreatened reduces our overall standard of living dramatically.
Modern man does not understand natural law. Ancient scholars did and most of what they discovered has been lost. Contrary to popular opinion, ancient scriptures were not totally focused on God and religion. Each story serves as a model of natural law. What do ordinary people do when they find themselves in the circumstance of being free? They seek out stewards of their lives. They bargain away what freedom they have in return for comfort and security. Samuel 8:1explains how this works as well what it costs in just a few words. The situation explained has reoccurred countless times throughout history. The outcome is always the same.
Still there are those who value life as a free person so much that they are prefer to make their own decisions and take their own risks. Does freedom stand a chance?
If mankind as a whole is going to be free, those who want it that way will have to impose freedom on all others. This requires forcing others to make their own decisions and take their own risks independently of government. Those who value freedom highly are seriously outnumbered just as they were in the ancient writing.

“Yes, resistance should have begun right there, at the moment of the arrest itself.
But it did not begin.”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The past couple of weeks have reflected some type of dystopian future that’s supposed to be the backdrop for a bestselling novel.
Everyone is acting normal. I’m at my middle son’s football practice. The adults are quarantined behind a chain link fence talking amongst each other like you’d figure they would. On the other side are various age groups of youth, running obvious football drills. Kinda. The coach blows the whistle and my kid runs through a ladder drill, fakes to the left and shoots diagonally upfield. Flying through the air, the coach throws a bright yellow tennis ball in his direction. Will he catch it? Probably. I look over at my brother-in-law, Scott, “what’s with the tennis balls? Some sort of agility drill or something?” Maybe the point is that if they can catch a tennis ball, a football should be easy. Maybe that’s the point? What do I know? I’m not a football coach. “No,” Scott explained, “They’re using tennis balls because footballs are against the rules for now. You know. You can catch Covid from throwing a football, but not a tennis ball. It’s pretty stupid.” Meanwhile, the adults carry on, not saying anything, acting like “Yellow tennis balls. That’s normal. Whatever. I’m just waiting here chatting it up waiting for my kid so I can go home and cook dinner. I’m glad he gets to play.”
“How’s Pops?” Scott’s dad, my father-in-law was diagnosed with brain cancer over a year ago, went through surgery to remove a lemon sized mass, underwent an initial round of brutal chemo treatments and just went through a second, more maintenance kind of round. A few weekends ago, on a Saturday night he called Shelley about an excruciating pain in his gut and she rushed over there to find out he hadn’t been taking his meds as prescribed. Par for the course. His short memory is no longer what it could be, especially since the cancer. We have to keep on him. But sometimes he’s doing so well that our kids stay the night. Sometimes several nights in a row. It’s easy to take his memory for granted. Still. It’s not getting any better. Meds straightened out, she came back home. Sunday went by without any complications, but Monday morning, early before the sun, my phone rang and startled me. I missed the call. So had Shelley. It was Scott. I messaged back and asked if everything was ok and it wasn’t. An ambulance just came for Pops. The pain in his stomach reached unbearable. “Still no updates. I’m hoping he gets to come home this weekend.” Nobody is allowed to go see him at the hospital. We have real problems getting updates from the staff. Pops’ memory is going, so he can’t remember to tell Shelley what the doctor said. She calls several times throughout the day. Several times at night. Sometimes she gets answers, sometimes she doesn’t. Meanwhile pops is alone and surrounded by strangers.
Practice ends and we go home, but Shelley needs some supplies for dinner. Off to Walmart I go. It’s the nearest grocery store. It used to be open 24 hours but now it closes at 8:30 so I gotta get there before they close.
Why don’t I resist? Why don’t I stand up and say something? Why don’t I declare how blatantly ridiculous the idea of playing football with tennis balls is? Everybody knows that playing football with tennis balls is for chumps. But guess what? We’re all chumps, going along with it. Obviously practicing with a football would spread Covid 19 and kill someone, but tennis balls won’t. Why do we capitulate? We aren’t idiots. Is it for the sake of our kids? Is it for the sake of ourselves? Do we not want to make a scene? We surely don’t want to offend anyone, especially those militant people on Facebook. For all I know, you are one of them. Our kids need to get out and do something so bad that at this point, we’ll take anything. Surely the suited bureaucrats telling us how to now practice football are right, aren’t they? And have our best interest in mind, don’t they? Surely they do! I could make a sign that says “Wake up! Playing football with tennis balls is stupid!” or “Playing with imaginary defenders is stupid!” Because that’s a new rule now too. You can’t have someone opposite you trying to keep you from catching the tennis ball. I am trading my common sense for what? What are we getting in return? I don’t make my sign. I don’t make a scene.
I did the math yesterday, August 2, 2020. There are 328,200,000 people in the United States and 151,265 people have died from the new Covid 19 virus. That amounts to about .0046% of the population. What you do with those facts is up to you.
Set markers six feet apart and crack the whip at the kids who don’t comply. You comply, so you should teach the kids to comply. That way you have company in your misery. They can share in your complicity, so they learn that they shouldn’t refuse stupidity either. They have tricked us into playing by rules we all know are stupid. A surveillant perched somewhere beyond view, wrings their hands, chuckles and reports to the superiors, “That was too easy. What should I try next?” Three months time is all it took to convince the nation that practicing football with tennis balls and imaginary opponents is sane and makes sense! ”
But go to Walmart and you can put your hands all over whatever you like. Test run any ball, football, soccer, tennis, baseball. I can pick up and inspect tomatoes, bananas, onions and cilantro. I need some baby wipes but the box I pick up is partially crushed, so I put it back and grab the better one. I check out and touch the same screen that two hundred and forty seven people before me have touched today. I have a mask on though. So it’s okay.
Karl Marx made a case that religion is the opiate of the masses. He was wrong. It’s Walmart. He had no idea it wouldn’t be religion. As long as I can go to Walmart my son can substitute a tennis ball for a football and play against imaginary defenders. My father-in-law can lay dying alone in a hospital but because I can go to Walmart nobody stands up. Nobody screams, nobody says anything. Everyone watches as a mysterious and ghastly, subtle invisible entity removes your existence one football at a time.
You scour the house looking for something you know you had. It was here yesterday wasn’t it? You ask the kids. Where did it go? The wife puzzles with you. How long has it been gone? We don’t know. We weren’t even paying attention. We wonder if we even owned such a thing that disappeared so definitely, so silently! When an intruder breaks in and my house is robbed. I immediately know the TV is gone. Nobody could ever take my phone. I’d notice that within minutes. Months go by and one by one you realize other things are missing. More and more, things you used to take for granted are gone. “Did I misplace it or was it taken with the TV?” You don’t really know. They will take the TV and everything else from underneath you, leaving you in nothing but your undergarments, standing barefoot in the snow, loading onto a cattle car. You don’t know how you got here. You don’t know where it all went. You don’t know how long it’s been gone. All of a sudden you’re alone and your only hope left is in the State. All your resources gone, no longer able to care for your business, community, family, yourself. As you despairingly ascend the ramp to be with the others, a guard with a sinister grin tosses you an old yellow tennis ball. You hold onto it because you should have known, it wasn’t really all of a sudden. You felt it coming. You should have spoken up when you had the chance. The car jostles as it begins to creep down the track. It disappears into the distance, taking you with it never to be seen again. After all they know better than you.
It all started long ago with your son playing football with tennis balls against imaginary defenders, and your father-in-law dying alone in the hospital, and me going through the produce at Walmart.
In the background can hear the echos of a song when the wind blows it your direction . It’s the Eurythmics. Sweet dreams are made of these… This is the Hell that’s been coming all along.

Folks, what is government for? You can give it all kinds of lofty definitions, exalt all of the people who work in it. Then you can declare that everyone who works in government has given up self interest and is working tirelessly to make everyone’s lives better.
Those are all highly comforting notions. But, none of it is true. The way government is actually used varies from decade to decade. It is never used the way you think it is even if the way you think it works. Today the rich are using government to insulate themselves from the rigors of free market competition. They do so easily because people do not recognize this as fascism.
I get called out for hating the rich. Does expecting the rich to live under the same economic system as the rest of us constitute hating the rich? You may have noticed that applying any law to people at the top is not particularly easy to do. That is kind of hard to miss unless you are making sure you don’t notice.
The system is going to break down. It is going to break down because the system has been saved so many time. The first economist to entertain the idea of a business cycle was Karl Marx, the father of communism. Karl Marx offered communism as a way to end the business cycle. The only way Marx could tame the business cycle was to do away with capitalism.
The solutions offered by economists, other than myself are not suggesting communism or socialism outright. Instead they they remove the necessary attributes of free markets, like the scarcity of money. Then they pass out subsidies to the affluent. Karl Marx wanted to send the free market system to the execution chamber. American economists, other than myself, only break the knee caps of the free market system. So, Americans would say no thanks to Marxism. But, breaking the knee caps of capitalism and letting it die an agonizing death is something Americans are overwhelmingly embracing.
What cannot be proven with statistics can be proven easily with natural law. Free markets produce optimums. Improvements are desired but they are impossible, no less than it is impossible to have a round square. Free markets generate the best economic outcomes for all income classes, but the free market system is not perfect. It turns out that there are business cycles and sometimes things get bad before they get better. As it is, your country’s economists with me as an exception, believe ending the business cycle is a good idea. Kill the business cycle and you kill the free market system. The efforts to kill the business cycle, without officially having the intention do do so have already brought the economy to the brink of destruction.
So, as it turns out, in order to destroy capitalism, it is not really necessary to have a revolution and overthrow the country. Your country’s economists, with the exception James Quillian of course, are working tirelessly to end the business cycle, which will in the end, end our prosperous way of life.
Kill the business cycle and you kill the free market system.
Who will unite the country? Certainly, it won’t be me. Will it be Joe Biden or Donald Trump? God forbid that any president unites the country. Should a country be united?
A united country is fine as long as the population unites itself independently of a leader urging folks to unite behind him. If citizens are generally of a similar mind that is fine. When a politician seeks to unite the population behind him, ordinary citizens are being ask to fall on a sword for their country. Follow a national leader and you are following the equivalent of aJudas goat.
Lets look at some examples of situati0ns where a leader has united a country. The first that comes to mind is Venezuela. Hugo Chavez United Venezuela. How did that turn out? You decide.
When has the United States been united? There was World War II but it was the war itself that United the country. Hitler did in fact Unite Germany. Germany could not have risen had Hitler not United his country.
The United States was united behind John F. Kennedy. But, he was assassinated. Perhaps that is because he was uniting the country in ways powerful people did not appreciate. Kennedy’s agendas were not fully developed when he died. The Country was united behind Lyndon Johnson following the Kennedy Assignation. Following, we got the false flaggedGulf of Tonkinincident and a useless war that took the lives of millions.
Richard Nixon united the country early on. He completely finished off the gold standard. The country is now flooded with unearned fiat currency. He accepted a $2,000,000 donation from Jimmy Hoffa and pardoned him in order to receive it. Then there was Watergate,
The country was united behind Ronald Reagan. Out of Reagan we got the birth of modern socialism and perpetual tampering with the financial markets. Under this new system we have stagnate wages from the middle class on down and enormous wealth and income at the top. The growth of top down socialism is the root cause of the depression the country is in today. Both Bushes United the country and the result is perpetual wars in the Mid East.
Bill Clinton did not manage to Unite the country and his administration did little if any permanent harm to the country.
A system designed around democratic principles is not meant to be united or expected to be. Check the writings of our founding fathers. Democracy works only when different people and sides vigorously disagree with each other. In that system, the side that wins turns out to have the best approach. So, should the country unite behind the next president? You decide.
For years Wall Street and international banks have been steeling form the public. That public has not minded because they can’t actually see the money coming out of their pockets, so they don’t know who to blame. This may all be for the best because they would have killed to get your money if they had to. There is no high ground in the banking industry. Banking these days is mostly organized crime. This makes sense because crime is risk sensitive just like everyone else. What would suit organized more than a situation where government is a partner? For decades the banking and brokerage industries have operated above the law. Typically when laws are broken fines are assessed. Fines amount to a business expense and the crimes continue. Did I say crimes? Yes but the bankers are safe. Government goes out of its way to treat any banking activity as legal.
Ordinary people would get prison time for the things Wall Street does with impunity.
All of the power and money in the world cannot keep them from destroying the economy. For years, Wall Street has operate like a corrupt dealer at a casino. They have run off all of the honest money and now must square off and trade against each other. The world’s capital markets are destroyed and stocks are ready to fall despite the efforts of the Federal Reserve and the rest of Wall Street’s allies in government.
The public will lose pensions, savings and most of what they own. The parties responsible for rigging and corrupting the financial markets for years will keep their profits.
It could be worse. The profit the mob has been able to make amounts to far more than what they normally kill for.

<a href=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/How-to-Take-Over-the-World-in-the-Modern-Era.pdf”>PDF Version How to Take Over the World in the Modern Era</a>
<img class=”alignleft wp-image-7566 size-medium” src=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/jq-271×300.png” alt=”” width=”271″ height=”300″ />I have made the case many times that there is a consortium using government and the media to consolidate ownership of the world’s factors of production. That initiative is focused on land labor and capital. Taking over and controlling the financial markets, mainly equities, is the least obvious but the easiest to explain. Here is the explanation.
History is full of attempts to take over the world. At any given time, some person or group has been or is making the attempt. This is the nature of the quest for power which obsesses a few but determined individuals.<!–more–>
Below is a list of such attempts. Engaging in imperialism may not appear as as an attempt to take over the world and its resources. Imperialism is basically the same as a massive attempt but opportunities are lacking so piecemeal opportunities are undertaken. Imperialist ventures are included in the list. The list is long. You may just want to scan through it enough to realize that attempts to take over the world have been present in every time period. Is there any reason why there would not be such an effort going on at this very moment? I cannot think of a reason personally but if there is a reason why it ain’t so, I would sincerely like to know what it is.
<a href=”https://quillian.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Empiers-and-times.xlsx”>Empires and times</a>
Historically, the military has been used but that has given way to a more effective technique. Using financial markets to gain control of the capital markets is much more efficient. Whole populations can be enslaved without a shot being fired. Virtually no one even realizes what is happening. People have their minds on other things. There is almost no push back at all. Using power and money to control all governments around the world gains everything acquiring whole countries do through war. Acquiring land and labor and capital that way is mostly non violent.
In the past, entire countries have sought to take over all others. In today’s world citizens of various countries imagine that they control governments in the countries in which they live. Actually, all governments today are controlled by a group I call the <strong>Richest 100</strong>. That is not meant to be a precise number. It is simply that money and political power is what determines political outcomes. These folks are the source of essence of virtually all politicians in all countries. Those who don’t accept their money and go their own war are easy enough to replace.
The stock market is not insanely moving high because mom and pop are buying more stocks to put in their IRAs. Stocks are not being bought so as to turn a trading profit. As it is 10 percent of Americans own 85 percent of all stocks.
These are the tools being used.
<strong>Central Banks:</strong> Federal Reserve appointments go the best politicians among economists. No Federal Reserve Chairman is appointed unless he is certain to carry out a president’s and his party’s agenda. There is no way mountains of debt turned into unearned money is ever going to cause economic growth. What it does and all it ever does is preserve and abet existing institutions and funnel wealth and assets from the bottom of the economy to the top. They know these things. Anyone smart enough to acquire the credentials these folks have knows what they are accomplishing.
<strong>Stock Buybacks:</strong> Stock buybacks accomplish two things. They contribute greatly towards the goal of concentrating ownership of equities at the top. Buybacks also provide the fastest way those inside the corporation can make the most money in the shortest period of time.
<strong>High Frequency Trading Firms: </strong> High frequency trading firms are allowed to operate provided they assist in elevating stock prices. They know of every trade placed with every broker. They profit by sabotaging the trades of all sort term investors.
<strong>Retail Brokers: </strong>In any immediate time frame, retail brokers benefit from high frequency trading firms exploiting their customers. So they are on board. Any retail broker could allow customers to enter stop orders held within the firm and then immediately place the trades when a price level is hit. They choose not to do that because the high frequency trading firms generate commissions for them.
<strong>President of the United States:</strong> Any president benefits from a bull market, especially when the economy is tanking, Any president will support affirmative stock market action.
<strong>Congress:</strong> Congress is owned by the 100 or so richest people on the planet. Often Democrats and Republicans mysteriously get on the same page and pass a bill at least half of them would normally oppose. Any lawmaker who votes against one of these bills will be targeted and helped out of office. The 100 or so richest provide the essence for most politicians in Washington. Who is going to betray those who provide their essence.
<strong>The Media: </strong>All of the major news outlets are owned by the 100 or so richest, or at least controlled by them. All news is agenda driven. Very little news that could be deemed negative for the stock market ever makes it to the eyes and ears of the public.
<strong>Big Tech and Social Media:</strong> Big tech firms, especially the FANGs as much as serve as government agencies, corrupt ones. All have government contracts. They practice agenda driven censorship. As far as I can see, so far only the truth is being censored.
I can add more to this list, but it is getting too long already.
Who has any facts? Well, I do. What is unique about the present moment is that no one has a single fact as to what people are doing exactly right now or even for a period covering a few days. Then who hears the truth about anything? So, what facts are available to me that others don’t have? The word is incentives. There is only one incentive in the aggregate. That one is self interest. The incentive to serve is assumed but in public life, that incentive is only imaginary. The incentive to serve is relevant on a personal level but in the aggregate it never applies. All one need to know to discern what individual and institutions are doing is to focus on what is in their self interest to do. Do they have and counter incentives that would prevent them from following their self interest? In the absence of counter incentives it is safe to assume others are doing what is best for them personally.
Attempting to take over the world is an ongoing constant effort. Look at the list. Try and find long periods when such an effort has been present. Each effort has always used the most advanced tools available at time. Ships, guns, bombs and missiles and such have in the past been the best tools. Today, using the financial markets provides a more efficient, less expensive, less risky approach. War is still used and that may come into play
Using the financial markets is also preferred because that way all infrastructure can stay in tact. The goal is not to destroy people and things. The goal is to control and use others for their own purpose. Romans did this for centuries. So, the consortium trying to take over the world prefers non-violence but coercion for sure. No one wants you dead. The idea is to make you and your kind more useful as consumers and maintain low wages for their benefit.
What I am writing here will never be used for making economic or political policy. Regardless, ordinary citizens must make decision with respect to what is going on in the world because it effects their lives.
<h2><b> </b></h2>
Do important people in governments, corporations and members of the upper one percent only speak with one another in formal venues? Most would say no to that but then live their lives and establish their beliefs as if none of these folks ever interact except in formal settings
One forgotten characteristic of corporate insiders is that they are among the best
salesmen in the world and they are constantly exploring and seeking out information as to Continue reading →

No activity on earth is as lucrative as serving as the steward of lives of others. At this historical juncture corporations such as big tech, big pharma, big health insurance and big banks are positioning themselves to function as stewards of the American people.
