And the Insanity Continues: June 2013

Today I have a listing of general news and events …

  The Obamacare System is Collapsing – Floyd Brown … it’s collapsing before it can be implemented. … It’s so complex and byzantine that the government is struggling to implement the law. … The full implementation of Obamacare is supposed to happen January 1, 2014. But how are the 45 million uninsured Americans supposed to sign up if there isn’t a place to sign up? … Health insurance rates are doubling, tripling and even quadrupling. [no source given] Aetna has announced that it’s pulling the plug on California. … Opponents of Obamacare don’t have much courage. If they did, Obamacare would already be gone. … The best plan of action is not to aid Obama and try to fix it piecemeal. Allow it to fail in full view so voters become committed to total repeal.

  Supreme Court Ruling You Didn’t Hear About – Marty Biancuzzo: In Houston, Texas, a citizen was not read his Miranda rights and the court used the Fifth Amendment rights against him. The US Supreme Court ruled against the defendant, Mr. Salinas; who went to the police station voluntarily when officers asked to speak to him. The Supreme Court ruled that Salina’s silence could be used against him because of one key factor: When police ask potentially damaging questions, merely keeping your mouth shut is not the same as invoking your right to remain silent. According to the Supreme Court if you speak any words when being questioned, you lose your Fifth Amendment rights. Is it not despicable that the justices in our Supreme Court knows less than the common citizen? It is not that they do not know the Bill of Rights, they pick and choose what they want to pay attention to, like the other two branches of government.

ODESSA Files: Outdated 2013 Farm Bill Progressing Through Congress

Every five years the US Congress passes a farm bill. It is part of the process of the Department of Agriculture whose policies have barely changed since the 1930s, despite a great change in the farming industry. This year the Farm Bill is due to be passed, and fellow Americas need to know more about this program and let their senators and representatives know that one of the major ways to decrease national debt and taxpayer burden is to completely reform the Farm Bill before it is passed. The Senate and House both have their versions of the bill: S. 954 and H.R. 1947. The main issue is SNAP [Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program] that concerns food stamps. It is why the Farm Bill has continued through the decades with little or no reform. SNAP’s goal, or rather those that are supporting it, is to end childhood hunger by 2015 and react quickly during economic and natural disasters that affect availability of food, which is a companion program called TEFAP [The Emergency Food Assistance Program].
