Winter Solstice Dissolution of Hospitals
& Asylums (HA) Political Party Relating to the Mayan Long Count HA-21-12-12
Done
24 November 2012. The end of the…Mayan Great Calendar occurs on
the winter solstice on December 21, 2012.
According to the correlation between the
5,125 year Long Count and Western calendars accepted by the great majority of
Maya researchers (known as the Goodman-Martinez-Thompson, or GMT, correlation), this Mayan creation date 4 Ahaw, 8 Kumk’u is equivalent to August
11 (my birthday), 3114 BCE in the proleptic
Gregorian calendar we use today. Inspired by the shadow of the serpent descending
the Temple of the Sun and sun descending along the edge of the stone box on the
roof of el Caracol at the ruins of Chichen Itza during equinox 1994 I have been publishing the
Hospitals & Asylums (HA) newsletter yearly, equinox and solstice (yes),
without interruption since 2000, online, with another monthly newsletter, since
December 2004. Since three personal
acquaintances ran for local political office, without any political party
affiliation, and my namesake, Senator Bernie Sanders, is the only independent
in Congress, inspired but unsatisfied with the Tea Party and Occupy I am toying
with the idea of Hospitals & Asylums Political Party 2013 (HAPPY). It is an auspicious time for HA. The Perseid meteors
of August 2012, with a peak of around 120-130 meteors per hour, edged out the Leonids of November, with 110-120 meteors per hour, and is
the largest meteor shower since 600-700 Geminids fell
per hour December 2011. Because the lesson we have to teach the major political
parties is dissolution and we want to be nonviolent and healthy, at all times,
so the arts might flourish, and social networking remains out of reach (the athletic-scholar),
our form of reunion shall be dissolution, for six months of formal study of the
Party line (depending on your State), until you may be registered as a HA party
candidate with your election board. For the occasion, I have constructed a TARP
winter shelter to host a winter solstice party with which to ask the public
authority for permission to camp, pay $47 billion for the entire Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) budget FY 2013 and retroactively return around $300
billion in repaid TARP loans to the General Fund to sustain the Federal Budget Balanced to Prevent Debt from
Exceeding 100% of GDP FY 2012, do justice and serve as temporary party
headquarters until the FDA adopts the Center for Alcohol, Tobacco and Marijuana
(ATM)..
Book 10 Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH)
To
transfer Chapter 1 Navy Hospitals, Army and Navy Hospitals, and Hospital Relief
for Seamen and Other §1-40 to Chapter 10 Armed Forces Retirement Home §400-435. The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) houses
approximately 1,600 veterans at the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home (USSAH in
Washington D.C. and the U.S. Naval Home (USNH) in Gulfport, Mississippi. At an average age of 76, the largest
percentage of residents, 80% are WWII veterans, 30% in Korea and 10% in
Vietnam. The average length of stay is
10.6 years. The Naval Home was
established in the Naval Hospitals Act of Feb. 26, 1811 by Paul Hamilton of South
Carolina, secretary of the Navy, under President James Madison. The charter was to provide a permanent asylum
for old and disabled naval officers, seamen and Marines. The Naval Home was however not officially
opened until 1834 after James Fillebrown, Secretary
of Commissioners of Navy Hospitals appealed his embezzlement conviction to the
Supreme Court in 1833, it was known as the Naval Asylum until the name was
changed to the Naval Home in 1880. The
Soldier’s Home was established in 1851, as an asylum for old and disabled
veterans. It was at the Soldier’s Home
that President Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. The Soldiers’ Home began admitting airmen in
1917 and officially changed its name to Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home in 1972. The Naval Home was initially funded by
contributions from the active force. This contribution was augmented by all
fines imposed upon persons of the Navy and was the principal source of monies
for the Naval Hospital Fund/Pension Fund. The Pension Fund also received all
money accruing from the sale of prizes of war. For nearly 100 years these
monies funded the Naval Home. In 1934,
the Pension Fund was abolished by Congress and the proceeds were deposited into
the U.S. Treasury. From 1935 until 1991, the Naval Home was funded by Navy
appropriations. Today, it is funded by monthly withholding from active duty
troops, fines and forfeitures, interest off the Trust Fund and resident fees,
to incorporate the oldest and newest HA laws; Quiz…1583
