Title: Laying the Political Groundwork for ‘Fed Health.’ Given the recent alarming and disappointing news about Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, selling Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder – just before President-elect Barack H. Obama takes residence in Washington – we thought it important to spotlight on this and the next two installments of Political Health and Healing, what mainstream media might underplay: how in some ways similar thinking – amongst Barack Obama, Senator Dashle, labor unions, organized crime and the Federal Reserve – is required to accept what is apparently being planned for our health care, ‘Fed Health’, and ultimately how it may negatively affect our health freedoms.

“For youz Americans it’s Obama, Daschle and Fed Health.

That’s the deal for health care. Gotta problem with that?”

Will Unions, Mafia and Federal Reserve be Largely to Blame for the Collapse of U.S. Dollar? It is understandable how unions can protect workers from unfair corporate labor practices, yet it is not fair to America how labor unions fix wages. Fixing the price of labor is incompatible with free enterprise. And combining such price fixation with organized crime threatens our freedoms as protected by the U.S. Constitution. Recent case in point: A fundamental concern of the bailout of the ‘Big Three’ auto makers is “whether the legislation would force concessions from the unions.” The euphemistic way of saying this is to ask if the unions will be ‘competitive,‘ i.e. will they lower union workers wages? This is nothing new to Americans. We’ve become accustomed to unions exerting their negative influence and power on free markets by essentially fixing wages, but in reality, to even be asking unions to lower wages in the United States is incongruous with American principles.

On TV recently United Auto Workers (UAW) president Ron Gettelfinger said the UAW wont commit to lower wages for union workers, and stated erroneously that their wages are already the same as foreign auto companies. And then Mr. Gettelfinger announced that the UAW will ‘go to the Federal Reserve‘ if the bailout bill is not passed by the Senate, which is exactly what they are doing: trying to get their way through ‘auto czar Paulson’, since the ‘balance of powers route’ (Congress) didn’t work for them. So now, the finance arms of Chrysler and G.M. are to be morphed into government-regulated financial institutions so they become eligible for direct loans from the Federal Reserve. It’s called the nationalization of the auto industry. Maybe after this, the impact of the nationalization of health care – a ‘Fed Health’ – wont seem so bad.

The joke is on all Americans though because the ‘Federal Reserve’ is a quasi-private fiat monetary system without a ‘reserve’ of ‘funds,’ i.e., it has NO MONEY – unless ‘the fed’ prints more, for the money tree. After doing away with the gold standard, our monetary system is all ’smoke and mirrors.’

Regardless though, shouldn’t we be shocked as Americans? The UAW essentially said, “If we can’t get the money through Congressional legislation, we’ll get it from our friends at the Federal Reserve”! So now we have two systems of government in the U.S. to choose from, the legislative branch and the ‘Federal Reserve’ branch? Apparently yes. We’ll be addressing what all this seems to mean for the advancement of medicine during this and the next two installments of TGM. And as we’ll see on TGM #18 – as unbelievable as it is – the Federal Reserve is to be the model for our new health care system – Fed Health! Few people seem to be asking, ‘Who’s running the show here, anyway?’

Obama’s Relations With the Unions and the Mafia. It’s not news that organized crime largely controls the labor unions, but from the Wall Street Journal and CBS just six months ago: Obama favors closing down the official government oversight board created to try to rid the unions of organized crime. Interestingly it wasn’t until after Obama published his ‘pro-mob’ position, that the Teamsters union then endorsed him for U.S. president. As the WSJ piece says, “The Teamsters in Chicago have shown little enthusiasm for rooting out corruption in their ranks.” And Obama’s “warm words to the Teamsters [are] …disturbing.” Note: According to the WSJ Bush appears involved in this too.

The CBS article continues: Obama’s Federal Election Commission records show a “hefty contribution to his…presidential race from Richard Simon who has mob ties.” But “the taint of corruption and of ties to organized crime seemed not to ruffle Obama….” If Obama wants to be portrayed as promoting “good government and higher morality, the place to start may not be Washington, but his home town of Chicago.” We might do well to study this article to see the depth of this unhealthy political situation.

Obama’s Relations with Governor Blagojevich. We’ll probably hear little or nothing about the relationship, or flat denials that there was much of a relationship between ‘the Gov’ and Obama. Or we may hear, “Oh c’mon, you think Governor Rod Blagojevich has significant ties to the unions or that Obama really has any significant relationship with Blagojevich – just because ‘The Gov’ controls his Senate seat in Washington? Naaaah!” Bottom line: Obama is looking pretty weak before assuming office. He said he had no contact with ‘Blago’ about the Senate seat. But his campaign chief of staff, David Axelrod stated last month that Obama spoke with the governor about the vacancy! Obama should tell us all – on mainstream media – about his relationships with any and all thugs who run Chicago politics. To prove his innocence, he should allow himself and his political team to be fully investigated. Otherwise can we trust him and his administration with our health and health care? Hey, at least, ‘Bobo,’ ‘Geuseppi,’ ‘Hoffa’ and ‘Vinny’ and the rest of the “Chicago Outfit” will probably be merry this Christmas at their palaces in Chicago or Las Vegas. And if mafia politics repeats itself, ‘family member’ Gov. Rod Blagojevich will probably be merry too.

Pieces of the Mysterious Puzzle for Health Care: Obama, Dashle, the Mob, Unions and the Federal Reserve. Clearly Obama has relations with America’s labor unions, which are corrupt. And the unions look to a separate entity, the Federal Reserve, for money when they don’t get what they want from what is supposed to be a Constitutionally-based balance of powers in Congress. What you may find interesting, if you read the ‘Criticisms’ section on Wikipedia’s Federal Reserve page, is where Milton Friedman outlined how the Federal Reserve caused the great depression. If the UAW circumvents Congress – and free enterprise – by going directly to the Federal Reserve for their bailout, is the Federal Reserve repeating history today?

And what’s probably most ironic, and adds to the mystery of what will probably be a radically different health care system in the near future: Obama’s choice to head up the department of Health and Human Services (HHS) WAS Senator Tom Daschle who, as mentioned above, wanted to use the Federal Reserve model for America’s ‘new and improved’ US health care system – ‘Fed Health‘. Watch out America. We may be in for a shock. If Mr. Daschle succeeded, you could probably expect that soon, all private medical decisions made on your behalf, by you and your doctor, will be under federal control. “Fed Health“?

Where does this type of alien thinking and planning come from? A friend sent me this article from American Free Press showing that Daschle is part of the ‘One World Government Bilderbergerite’ mentality. To find Daschle in the list of other Bilderberger meeting attendees, see this Wikipedia link.

One World Health Care anyone? It appears that Senator Tom Daschle would not have been good medicine for America! Perhaps the exposure of his improprieties (not paying his ‘fair share’ of income taxes, etc) was a good thing, but don’t expect the end of this one politician to make much of a difference in Washington D&C.
