Israel has national health care, and no one is talking about it! And they LOVE it!

How come there's never any comparisons to "how bad" Israel's health care system is? They have national health care! Have you EVER heard any talking media head or tea bagger or any news show mention that Israel has National Health Care? We talk about everything else about Israel! Why not this? Just an "oversight", right?

Below video: Woman tea bagger conservative wearing brownshirt yells "Heil Hitler" to Jewish man at Las Vegas Town Hall, the Jewish man is saying how Israel has NATIONAL HEALTH CARE and it's great, something our corporate media has blacklisted: Israel has national health care, and they LOVE IT!!! This is something tea baggers aren't bringing up, pro-Israel rightwing radio heads Rush Limbaugh and the gang aren't bringing it up...NO ONE'S BRINGING IT UP! This is the 2nd time I'm bringing this up, how this subject is blacklisted!



Health care in Israel is both universal and compulsory, and is administered by a small number of organizations with funding from the government. All Israeli citizens are entitled to the same Uniform Benefits Package, regardless of which organization they are a member of, and treatment under this package is funded for all citizens regardless of their financial means.

How come these pro-Israel/anti-universal health care MULTI-MILLIONAIRE MEDIA MISINFORMERS never mention that Israel has national health care, just like every other country except us??? These creeps are MILLIONAIRES who don't need health care, they could pay CASH! Why isn't anyone asking them?

While I'm pointing this out, why aren't so-called PROGRESSIVE SITES bringing this up, either? No one's bringing it up!




"72 percent of the American people, including more than 50 percent of Republicans, believe that they ought to have the choice between a public or a private system. This is not a liberal-conservative thing. This is whether you’re going to vote with the health insurance companies or whether you’re going to vote for what 72 percent of your constituencies want." - Howard Dean

Flashback: Taibbi - The Obama Whore Factor

Broadcasting pioneers witnessed the power of propaganda with radio Tokyo Rose, so they worked with government on two key broadcast regulations. First, to qualify for a license to broadcast on the public airwaves, stations had to serve the public interest, which became defined as local news, political debates, equal time, and a rule that said no personal attacks. Second, one person could own just 6 radio stations, nationwide. There were a lot of "street corners" in radio. Today there are almost none...Radio Speech is not Free Speech


"Protesters" can bring guns and automatic weapons to Obama Town Hall meetings, let's take a look back at the Bush years:

2006: Man arrested at mall for speaking to Cheney.

A 61-year-old librarian was ejected from an ostensibly public McCain campaign event at the Denver Center of Performing Arts in Denver, CO on June 7 because she was brandishing a deadly memetic weapon: a hand-lettered sign that read "McCain=Bush."

If the public option for health care folds, it's the Democrats' fault (with a hat-tip to the GOP), and it's even possibly on purpose: they have the majority to do it! Are you watching the "two faces of the same party", as they say? Democrats & Republicans? Right before your eyes, in Real Time? Both parties representing the wealthy, corporations, and the military industrial complex...AND NOT US???

The Republicans are a lost cause, but Democrats were voted in by America for single payer or at least the public option. The Democrats & Republicans: BAD & WORSE!!!

As the corporate media misdirects focus on brown shirt-like disruptions at the town halls, the real "death panels" --- the corporate profiteers and their bought-and-paid-for politicians --- hammered out a pseudo-reform package that will perpetuate a corrupt, dysfunctional and deadly health care system which kills more than 18,000 Americans each year simply because they can't afford coverage and countless more when carriers refuse to authorize vital, life-saving procedures...

The Obama administration admitted last week it promised to oppose proposals to let the government negotiate drug prices and extract additional savings from drug companies. In return, drug companies reportedly pledged to reduce costs by up to $80 billion. The White House has tried to back off the reported agreements, but the drug industry says it expects the White House to uphold its pledge. We speak to former presidential candidate and longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader.

Where are all the anti-war/anti-torture protesters you ask? NOT on the corporate-controlled "news" (the so-called "liberal media"), and they're being arrested. They won't even cover the arrests, because it would bring attention to the protests! ...but rightwingers can bring guns to Obama Town Hall meetings, and they get all the TV coverage in the world: In California four anti-torture activists were arrested at the University of California, Berkeley during a protest calling for the school to fire former Justice Department attorney John Yoo. Shouting “war criminal” protesters confronted Yoo as he entered a classroom Monday at UC Berkeley’s Boalt Hall School of Law. Yoo is teaching a course this semester on civil law.

You're a "patriot", if you bring a gun to an Obama protest. You're "arrested" when you peacefully protest someone from the Bush administration...STILL!!!

So, you still get arrested for protesting someone from the Bush administration, but you can bring automatic weapons and guns to Obama Town Hall protests! Maybe the Yoo protesters should bring guns, and they won't be arrested! Could you imagine, if people brought guns and automatic weapons to Bush protests during the Bush administration years? WTF???

This is truly amazing and a sign of the times about the "liberal media" (that's not liberal): after being covered by all the major networks, internet news site "The Daily Beast" digs deeper into a Florida double murder and connects it to the Mexican Mafia as an execution-style double-murder...AFTER the major "news" networks drop it after covering it as a simple/random murder!!! The death of TV investigative journalism is being proven over and over and over again. An internet news site acts like real journalists and outs the real story: it was a contract hit!!!

Investigators have linked Mexican organized crime to the murders of the parents of 17, reveals Rick Outzen, perhaps answering the case's riddle: Why was a Florida couple shot at home execution-style?

CREDIT CARD COMPANIES RUSHING TO JACK UP RATES

BREAKING........Being in debt is about to get a lot more expensive for millions of Americans. Credit card issuers have been rushing to raise rates in advance of this Thursday, when the first provisions of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD) will go into effect, with other protections starting in February 2010.

Note, this just happened to me, I've been writing about it in my comments for over a month: Capital One just doubled my rate for absolutely no reason! I paid on time for years! I called them, and asked them to put my rate back down, and they said "NO"! I said, "Put my rate back to what it was, and I will continue paying you on time as I have for years, more than the minimum as I have for years, and I won't even use the card anymore", they said "NO!" I stopped paying them, so should YOU! They can go to HELL! Time to fight back! They're doubling their rate on balances you already have! Things you already bought! Maybe you paid off a medical bill with your credit card, maybe you had a huge car repair...but even if you bought a big screen TV, is it a bargain anymore, if they doubled your rate AFTER you bought it? Balances are transactions you made when the rate was lower! It's called GOUGING THE CONSUMERS! They're doing it to left, right, liberals, rightwingers, tea baggers, ALL OF US!!! Come on, tea baggers! Turn against the credit card corporations that are doubling your credit card rates! Or will we see "Tea Party Patriots for Higher Credit Card rates" grassroots group, sponsored by Dick Armey & Freedom Works? Let's see if the "LIBERAL MEDIA" covers this story, it should be the #1 story in the "LIBERAL MEDIA", exposing this credit card company SHAM!!! Right now, congress should put a retroactive FREEZE on credit card rates...we bailed out these credit card companies with our tax money! PART OF THIS BILL SHOULD BE TO GO BACK AND INVESTIGATE ALL CREDIT CARD COMPANIES (IE: MOBSTERS) THAT ARE JACKING UP THEIR RATES BEFORE THIS CREDIT CARD CONSUMERS' RIGHTS BILL IS PASSED, AND THROW THESE FUCKERS IN JAIL!!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STOP THE MEDIA PROPAGANDA!

Today, Monday, the beginning of the weekly news cycle, we are being inundated by the corporate media, on behalf of their buddies the health care industry, that "Obama appears ready to drop the public option". Obama DID NOT SAY HE IS DROPPING THE PUBLIC OPTION! In fact, Gibbs, his spokesman, said "OBAMA STILL BACKS THE PUBLIC OPTION"!!!
