UnitedHealth Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Patients’ Treatment at Risk

-

(Here's some info about united health from truthout)
Neither Truthout nor any other news source is not responsible for anything I might say about anything. They try their best to be as reliable a news source any of us on the progressive side of things might want.
But after reading this article which was written back in mid-november before the ceo of united heath was assassinated a week or so ago, i asked myself if we all will start dealing with a new (and old) phenomenon of progressives with a gun, or a former mental health patient of united health, or anyone with a gun who will shoot down anybody, or a turned republican with a misinformed grudge against obamacare, Nevertheless, he is causing quite a stir with the CEO healthcorp executive branches.

A General Strike?

-
http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE,  A General Strike?  'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now.  If the 9th Circuit does right will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s?   I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way thinks are going, that Reichstag moment could comer soon than we may have anticipated.  Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge ?  Yet, I'm optimistic.  I have visited or done a little work with a few different organi...

Gone Days, Good Riddance, On to What Ever the Future Dishes Out

-
 The words and terms, standards, rules, and laws are no longer useful. They've been beat down, corrupted, lied about, exposed, abused and mostly ignored, and forgotten. Gone are the days when we are one movement. If we ever were. maybe it’s the days when we thought we were one movement that are gone. We believed we were the first to control consciousness, corner it, like it was a beaten animal but it came out enraged and dangerous instead, ready to fight. The term human degenerated into the term ‘matter’ or "consumer." We had been broken down into dna, goals, ambition, and cannon fodder. No one will give a shit about any of us twenty years after we become successful. Even the greatest, strongest, most wealthy among us become footnotes in the history books, and sooner or later the history books will be obsolete because they will be so replete with lies and self-aggrandizing stories that reading or learning from Aesop’s Fables or the Holy Bible will be just as fulfilling, a...

Fw: seeds of dissent root in the blood of martyrs

-
- seeds of dissent root in the blood of martyrs together, we were strong, then Apart, we fall unto a sword of personal perdition,  acceptance of their insanity, over our own desires. Opened our arms to their vendettas,  Became what we once despised. an age-old rhyme, freedom fighters  How can change happen in a country where policy makers age out their worn-out old ideas about the world against the persistence of the young, the insistence of new minds who dont want old men with old minds to protect them. The old architects of fear, who can only build castles, walls, moats, call it progress,  shame on them, Here we are at Columbia again sixty years later, the same issues, same monsters running to the shelter of their always dying society,  dying. dead.  The children of the children of the children consummated by the old vestiges of war, genocide, lies. Encircled. We've seen this ...

Today, Election Day, Nov 5th, 2024 (Short Term Memory)

-
 Something borrowed, something not blue, something old and never used. I don't know but if I didn't know better, it seems I've waited all my life for this day, or maybe, the day after, which would be tomorrow, wouldn't it be? You know, whatever day it is when a victor is announced. Will it be Project 2025 or Project Glad to Be Rid of Donald Trump But Everything Remains the Same, Sounds the Same, and Is the Same. Never mind. We have to wait. Old friends, who have passed from revolutionary to grandparent (whatever politics that is) calling yesterday to say they're too old to go live in the Canadian mountains if Trump is elected. I try and be calm and say, I'm too old to go through whatever either of these candidates offer for the future. I was left out of the Great American Dream long ago but i, like the billions of others on this earth, that are not in awe of the American diaspora, buckled down to work and play all our lives. Revolution according to Marx, or Mao ...

True believer

-
I f you're a true believer in the two state solution, that is, still believing that somehow a miracle of cooperation of western nations will make gaza great again or a true believer in the slow, slow relief from ill effects of climate change by a miracle of cooperation of all the oil based, oil users, oil producer nations will make climate change go away, or a true believer of peace, believing that a miracle of cooperation of western nations allied with their enemies list of combative nations will decide to make love, not war by willingness to let go of all the grudges, deceptions, wars, conflicts, accusations, then you must be under the influence of a delusion about how the political world exists. Seriously, stop and think for once. I'm talking to you who have driven the left skyward since the seventies when everyone went off and got jobs without conscience, supporting minor activist and charitable programs that had more to do with self-help than revoluti...

Forgive america

-
Why i cant forgive america although i am a white man and have never experienced any of the terrible events in my lifetime that were precipitated by the false, faked, infallibility of the american dream. Yes, some may see me from the outside in, middle class, retired, comfortable but inside my head, heart and soul is a complex mixture of guilt, anger, fear, isolation, and a resounding moral standoff between my natural world and americas unnatural world that all of us are exposed to and manipulated by. Its toxicity on everyones minds, hearts, and souls is all encompassing. After much introspection, ive concluded some things that i have played out during the course of my life. There are three historical events that stand out for me in which america, as a nation, manifested its true metal. This manifestation goes beyond americas supposed defense of principles related to humanitarian rights for all, which always   turned out to be for just some, especially de...

Freedom Will Win

-
  It's a wonder the lengths progressives will have to go through to explain their beliefs. To have to explain that Zionism does not represent Judaism to every god-fearing soul who wants to believe that what's happening in Gaza is an act of Jews defending themselves from a hateful, terroristic people, who, in reality, are people just like the Jews who live ordinary lives in Israel and in the rest of the world. Equating Zionism to Judaism is like equating Isis or the Taliban or even Saudi Princes to Islam. Yes, those terroristic examples use Islam in the same way Zionism uses Judaism. All that is not to say that religion itself, in all it's various forms, has not been the main harbinger of not always hate but a disguise for oppression, war, and the renunciation of freedom everywhere.  Let's face it. All the problems, worldwide, relating to the status of non-believers, the status of women, the status of freedom are connected to religious beliefs, which, of themselves, are ...

Fw: I could never be a martyr.

I could never be a martyr. Sit like siddartha, pour gasoline on my head, and strike the match of my desire. Choose where you want to be. It used to be in front of at Dow Chemical They wrote big boy on a nuclear bomb, A plane, a drone, a white house that never listens. The children of the children's children wiped from the earth.

Trump reversion to 1798

-
If you think trumps reversion to 1798 to take on deportation what about our fascination with attributing jewish as the chosen people by God himself, thus assuring all that we have today as far as blessing for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and dehumanizing interference in gazans obtaining food, water' and shelter. Huckabee, a christian zionist. I always thought jesus was coming, not to save the zionist but to save humanity. Religious belief is as confused as democrat-republican differences. You can run but you cant hide. Because the only one looking for you is your own conscience. Uprising by muse It looks like trump is appointing alot of women to positions of political influence. Is that diversity at work? Groundwork for future presidents? Sophie's Choice as immigration policy. Macchiavelli as foreign policy Adam Smith as economic policy. Oliver Cromwell as Domestic Policy The Bible as Definer of Freedom No one has asked me for my opinion...

Money and Other News

-
Latest News- Assad goes away, so is another afghanistan on the way? More on that later but now, it's mostly about money Liberals and progressives are again in a self-created conumdrum. The trump presidency which includes his appointments are about to attempt to dismantle the federal government we love to hate but its like rescuing your drunken parent from further harm but with no cure insight. We'd rather continue on with not a wounded beast which america likes to imagine itself but a really, nearly worthless concept that has been perverted, corrupted, self-destructive, and downright a lying, sociopathic nation for hundreds of years, ever since it rewrote the rules for genocide (supremacy) and slavery (ownership). But i come to bury Caesar, not to kill it. Recently, i experienced the death of my sister. Other than my parents, no one in my immediate family had experienced a long term terminal illness as her disease progressed through two years of treatme...
