More than a miscalculation

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas has filed for a rate increase of almost 60%. This is due to revenue losses estimated at more than $1 billion over the past two years under Obamacare. The increase in rates will destroy the private insurance market because many will be forced to cancel their insurance. This will lead to the government picking up the coverage and attempting to pay for it through higher taxes and inflation. InfoWars 2016 Jun 2 (Story) (Cached)

That has been the plan all along. Cost overruns in Obamacare are not the result of a mere miscalculation. That outcome was known from the start. American leaders in both major political parties are dedicated collectivists, and this was merely a strategy for achieving their goal. They will not rest until every human activity, not just health care, is under their control. It is their path to greatness and power.

The people, however, are not yet ready to become total serfs in the New Feudalism, so they must be fooled a little while longer into thinking that America still is the land of capitalism and free markets. They must be convinced that the present economic and social strains on the system are caused by the failure of the old order and that, someday soon, we will need to replace it with even more government intervention and control.

Obamacare is just the tip of the iceberg. Collectivism has been the dominant force in all governments of the world, especially the United States, since World War One. Collectivism is the cause of almost all economic and social decay since that time. Let us work hard to awaken our fellow citizens to that reality in time to prevent the process from running full course to global totalitarianism.

THIS WEEK IN REVIEW

California: A Trump rally in San Jose turned violent when an organized mob carrying Mexican flags, punched and kicked Trump supporters – while police did nothing. The media describes the thugs as ‘protestors’ and blames Trump and his supporters instead of the thugs who initiated the violence. InfoWars 2016 Jun 3 (Story) (Cached)

Following mob violence at the Trump rally in San Jose, Emmett Rensin, an editor at the leftist publication, Vox, is encouraging people to riot at all Trump events. He compares this to storming the barricades of fascism.

US: The murder/suicide at UCLA in Los Angeles this week highlights the futility of ‘gun-free zones’. Students and staff tried to find safe places to hide, but many doors would not lock, and people created crude barricades and tied doors shut with belts and electrical cords.

Snapchat is a social-media tool that allows users to delete photos and videos shortly after they are sent. At the last meeting of the board of directors, it was decided to begin storing all photos (whether deleted by users or not) so they can be sold to third parties as stock images. The decision was based on a desire to increase the valuation of the company, which now stands at $16 billion – with a B. We Are Change 2016 Jun 2 (Story)

US: The Food and Drug Administration has issued guidelines for food manufacturers and chain restaurants to reduce salt in their products. This is said to be an attempt to lower blood pressure for those at risk for heart attacks and strokes. [As usual, the FDA is far behind the most recent research showing that cardiovascular disease can be caused by too little salt, not too much.] The new guidelines will be voluntary – for now.

US: In response to overwhelming evidence that fluoridated water supplies are dangerous, the federal government has made a token reduction in the recommended safe level. The government admitted that high levels of fluoride can cause neurological toxicity in adults, and a Chinese study showed there was an association between fluoridated water and a drop of seven IQ points. In response to this, the new recommendation is .07 milligrams per liter of water. [We think there is no excuse for ANY fluoride to be added to public water systems. It should be as close to zero as possible.] NextNewsNetwork 2016 Jun 2 (Story)

The White House is resisting Federal Judge Hanen’s demand for immigration officials to submit the names of tens of thousands of migrants who have signed up for President Obama’s amnesty list. Obama says the move is scaring illegal aliens. Justice Department lawyers asked the judge not to force thousands of attorneys to take ethics classes after they issued more than 100,000 three-year work permits in direct violation of the judge’s order against it. [We agree that the attorneys should not be forced to take an ethics class. They should be fined, disbarred, and sent to prison instead.] Newsmax 2016 Jun 1 (Story) (Cached)

The EU has issued a “code of conduct on illegal online hate speech”, claiming it is in response to a surge in antisemitic, anti-immigrant, and pro-ISIS commentary on the web. The ruling requires Facebook, Google’s Youtube, Twitter, and Microsoft to review reports of hate speech in less than 24 hours and remove the content if necessary. These companies are authorized to create their own definitions of hate speech. Reuters 2016 May 31 (Story) (Cached)

Pakistan has registered a case against unnamed US officials for the drone strike that killed Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour, and a taxi driver.

The city of Chicago settled a police department ‘code of silence’ lawsuit for $2 million brought by two whistleblowers.

Three babies with microcephaly have been born in the US and, without any evidence, the Zika virus is being blamed. Fear of the virus is prompting athletes and tourists to ban the Olympics this summer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Reporter Jon Rappoport speculates that the Zika virus is a medical scare tactic being used to harm Brazil, a country allied with other BRICS nations that threaten US monetary hegemony. He says that the most recent number of cases of microcephaly in Brazil total 854, but only 11% of those showed any trace of the virus. [If 89% of the cases are caused by something other than the virus, it is likely that the virus is not the cause of 11% of the cases.] Jon Rappoport 2016 Jun 2 (Story) (Cached)

The Republican Party is threatened by the Libertarian Party (LP) and wants to neutralize it because it is the only alternative to the two-party system that will appear on ballots in all 50 states in the upcoming election. Gary Johnson, the LP presidential nominee, is an establishment politician who supports international interventionism and is pandering to Sanders’ supporters. Johnson and his running mate, William Weld, support the concept that treaties supersede the Constitution as the supreme law of the land and they do not support the right to private property. Weld thinks that only hunting rifles are covered by the Second Amendment. Finally, the LP was made to look very undignified when a candidate for LP chairman did a strip-tease on stage.

The US Food and Drug Administration has claimed for decades that marijuana has zero medicinal value, but now it has granted a license to GW Pharmaceuticals to market a synthetic version of cannabis for treating multiple sclerosis. Other drug companies have more synthetic versions in the pipeline to treat everything from cancer to autism – all the illnesses that the real plant is being used to treat. [Nothing from nature can be patented, so drug companies and their lapdog, the FDA, are interested only in synthetics made in a laboratory that can be patented – even if the original forms are more effective, which usually is the case.] Natural News 2016 May 31 (Story) (Cached)

Slavery is rampant worldwide. Over 45 million people live in conditions comparable to farm animals and cannot leave. Statistics show that the number of humans in this condition has increased 30% in the past year, but much of that is because the statistics merely are becoming more accurate than in the past. India has 18.35 million slaves, followed by China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Uzbekistan. CNN 2016 May 31 (Story)

US: Supreme Court backs property owners over wetlands permits. The Court ruled that property owners can immediately contest the government’s decision regarding property rights under the Clean Water Act rather than having to wait until the end of the permitting process, which can last two years and cost up to $270,000, with owners facing penalties of up to $37,500 a day for noncompliance.

Need to Know is as serious as it gets, but laughter is good for the soul and helps to keep our equilibrium amid the chaos. So, here are quips, gags, and images to put a smile on your face. If you have some you would like to share, please send them here.

I never use my turn signal. It’s nobody’s business where I’m going.

I try to avoid things that make me fat, like scales, mirrors and photographs.

When I get a headache, I take 2 Aspirin and keep away from children – just like it says on the bottle.

Be nice to nurses. They keep doctors from killing you.

I think Snow White had the right idea. She moved in with seven guys, who went to work every day and all she had to do was whistle to get the birds to do her cleaning!

GLAD TO BE IN THE FREEDOM NETWORK
2016 June 3 from David Schmitt, Ph.D.
I have just signed up and am glad to be in the Freedom Network. I picked up The Creature… from some JBS folks several years ago. I recently saw you [GEG] featured again in a film by Free Minds in OKC. You have helped me in my coming out of Plato’s allegorical “cave with shadow pictures.”

I look forward to becoming progressively more and more involved. I hope to write book on the inside workings of bureaucratic tyranny. My audiences are both the general public and, specifically, young people who need to re-conquer government from the inside. That is not a perfect solution, but it is another important phalanx, I believe, in the battle.

Can you please tell me which atmospheric mass transport model I should be using? Also, what’s the density, surface tension, etc. of this stuff that they’re spraying? Thank you.

REPLY FROM GEG:
I do not have the technical knowledge to answer your questions, but I will be glad to post your inquiry in the Forum section of Need to Know News. Hopefully, there will be some experts out there who will be able to provide this information. I will post the results if/when they come in.

WHY BANKS CHARGE NEGATIVE INTEREST
Posted 2016 May 26 from Chris Read
Dear GEG,
There’s so much talk in the media these days about “negative interest rates.” You’d think the banks were losing money or something! If I read your book Creature from Jekyll Island correctly, then it’s obvious that the banks are still making a fair bit of money even at negative rates. I think it would be very interesting to your readers if you did an example of how, with fractional reserve banking, banks could still make money even at “negative X%” or whatever the number is.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Chris. Negative interest rates is merely banker talk for bank fees charged to depositors based on a percentage of their deposits. It has little to do with fractional reserves. By using the term “negative interest rates”, it diverts attention away from the reality that banks are socking it to their depositors by simply taking money out of deposit-account balances to make up for bank losses when they occur. The extra twist in this is that governments and their partner central banks are going to great lengths to make the process entirely legal so depositors cannot sue them when the theft occurs.

When people finally wake up to the reality of this legalized theft, those with large deposits will want to remove their money from banks. That is why the banks and their partners in government are working hard now to eliminate cash. That will force everyone to leave their money in banks where it can readily be taken in the form of negative interest rates.
