Hospitals & Asylums
Summer 2010
Vol. 10 Is. 2
The unwarranted foreign
intelligence surveillance, that caused a 3% drop in aggregate market
capitalization, in recrimination against the updating and service of my Atlas, by
means of the local health department suddenly responding to “an anonymous” tip ostenstibly to get us to clean up the years of trash in the
yard, caused $500 in civil damages as the result of the breeched lease and 40
hours uncompensated labor that would otherwise have been volunteered. Although I have found a new home, paying a
second month’s rent this month, I am back to square one in regards to getting a
computer, and don’t have the savings to buy one anymore. The computer in my new home is not powerful
enough to flip between Internet research and the Microsoft Word substitute they
use. To make matters worse, possibly for
all of us, the belligerents and their sado-masochistic
home health care professional who moved in subsequent to the intervention of
the health inspector, have stolen my CD with all my
files and the files I was using on the computer. Although it is unlikely that they have any
use, or power of abuse, for this information, I am obligated to inform you that
your personal information, your email addresses, as well as vital federal and
international economic and social data has been stolen.
The health department refuses to
respond. I have contacted the Attorney
General in order to service a warrant to collect my CD and save and delete
files from the computer. Those poor health departments. Everytime they try
to assassinate me they get whomped with a huge fine,
so as to hobknob with their equals instead of paying
me compensation. Last time the health department
was fined $30 million dollars. This
time, in a much smaller county, it looks like they are going to be held
responsible for the $1.5 million municipal deficit. The local health sector expanded 17% over
last year. This biological invasion with
no responsibility exhibited by the health department is the probable cause of
this expansion and it is logical to hold the health department liable. Unlike other government agencies the health
department seems to be held responsible for bumping into me, probably because
Hospitals & Asylums is their most legitimate superior, taking into
consideration the way the Department of Health and Human Services dropped out
of school in 1980 and continues to fail to fulfill the requirements for a
degree…eg. Identifying and arresting the raging leaks
from medical campus animal research laboratories, rather than financing them,
and the uniform 20 years of ignorance exhibited in varying degrees of savagery by
every health care professional in times of government intervention.
I am trying to raise $500 to buy a
new laptop with Microsoft Office and wifi. I have had some offers of money from the maternal
side of my family of health professionals, but we just got over the need for a
home to break and without any ulterior motive they might not want to give. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has kindly asked all the billionares
in the United States
to donate half of their wealth, but I haven’t gotten a response. So I kindly ask that you make a contribution
to the Paypal link on my homepage or News page. Thank you very much. Your national and international governments
don’t have two cents to afford to maintain their subsistence standard of living,
mooching off of Hospitals & Asylums, without your help.
The 2010 World Atlas: MDGs
1990-2015 and the 2009 Factbook HA-1-6-10
The
Atlas has been updated to record the low-point of the global Recession. Economic growth, around 3.5% since 1946,
contracted 0.8% in 2009 and global trade plummeted nearly 25% from 2008 levels,
the largest single year drop since WWII.
Purchasing power parity of GWP dropped to $70.29 trillion (2009 est.)
from $70.84 trillion (2008 est.) and the official exchange rate GWP was $58.07
trillion U.S. dollars. Per capita income
retreated about 2% to $10,500 (2009 est.) from $10,700 (2008 est.) as global
unemployment rose from 7% in 2008 to nearly 9% in 2009 while underemployment,
especially in the developing world, remained much higher. The number of hungry people rose from 700
million to a record high of 1.2 billion.
The IMF reports economic growth to be stable at 1.7% in the first
quarter and 3.2% in the second quarter of 2010. The UN
Millennium Development Goal Report 2009 brings into question whether Goal 1
to halve the poverty, <$1 day, from 45.5% in 1990 to 22.75% in 2015, has
been jeopardized by the recession. In
2007, only 21.5% were extremely poor, however the recession plunged 100 million
more people below $1 a day and poverty increased to 22.9%, so in 2009 Goal 1
was not achieved. Both 90% primary
school enrollment rate and 50% reduction in people needing water are both
achievable at current rates of growth.
The AIDS drugs arrived and rates of infection and death went down. To achieve all the health related goals the
utility bill for water and sewage connections must be paid, folic acid
multi-vitamins are damned. The short
term plan for 2010 is for the bailouts to cease and ODA to exceed the $154
billion committed. The long term plan is
to levy a carbon tax to finance eco-friendly water, sewage and electricity
(solar) connections in slums by 2030.
The medium term plan to finance the MDGs for
2015 is for the U.S. Dollar and Euro basket to experimentally appreciate
developing nation currencies - equalizing exchange rate GDP with purchasing
power parity GDP rate, in pursuit income equality and more purchasing (selling)
power so:
GDP
XR = GDP PPP (developing nations) Ţ GDP PPP > GDP XR (all nations)
American Political Economy HA-20-3-10
The History of the American Political
Economy presents a number of lessons.
The colonial economies were forbidden to establish banks and used tobacco,
wampum and other things as money.
Independent under Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (1776) the Founding
Fathers established a currency, the dollar, and the First Bank of the United States (1789-1811) and a Second Bank of
the United States
(1816-1834) and financed the government mostly with customs duties. President Andrew Jackson (1828-1836) paid off
the national debt in 1835. The Panic of
1837 was the first major depression. The
foundation of the Republican Party in 1854 triggered a recession in 1857 they
took majority of the House in 1858 and the Presidency in 1860, the South
seceded from the Union triggering the bloodiest conflict in national history,
the Civil War (1860-1864) during which time an income tax was introduced in
1863 to finance the war effort. The
Progressive era was a time of robber barons and railroads, third parties and
high voter participation. There was a
depression in 1893. There was a
recession in 1907 from gold shortage.
The Federal Reserve was established in 1913, when the income tax became
law, and the central bank went into operation shortly after the Great War began
in 1914. Prohibition undermined the
peacetime economy and in 1929 the stock market crashed and recovered until the
1932 Snoot-Hawley Tariff Act plunged the world into a global depression known
as the Great Depression. Franklin D.
Roosevelt set forth the New Deal, the economy recovered and the modern welfare
state was born, increasing federal revenues from 3% of the GDP to 20%. Stabilized by the dual mandate of price
stability and maximum employment the baby boomer economy after WWII boomed
until the 1970s when the economy was undermined by the DEA and retaliatory oil
inflation. The creation of the Court of
International Trade assured increasing inequality and after a recession in
1980-82, the U.S.
prospered with trade and budget deficits and a soaring prison population and
lame duck saboteur. After bank failures
under Bush Sr. and torturous failing health negotiation Clinton managed to balance the budget and the
economy prospered until the American century came to a screeching halt on 9-11.
Last Right in
Vermont HA-21-4-10
Vermont is a small, well-governed State in the northeast of the United States,
with a population little more than 600 thousand. Vermont was the
fourteenth State to enter the Union in 1793. Socially, Vermont is described as the state with the oldest
working population. Politically,
Vermont can be described as a well governed socialist State. Vermont even
elects Senator Bernie Sanders, the only Socialist in the U.S. Congress. This tribute to Oma and Opa Sanders is addressed to him and Home Share Vermont. Vermont is one of the thirteen, or fourteen, free colonies
under medical marijuana law. The
governor talks straight. Gay
marriage is allowed. Most
importantly the tax system is progressive. The budget is balanced although not specifically required
in the Constitution. The Green
Mountaineers pay their debts. Vermont
does not seem to be fighting their health insurance company(s). There has been an extremely high rate of divorce. Whereas Vermont is a particularly well-governed socialist
State the Baby Boomers chose not to have many children as their method of Xing
out the X Generation, heaven help the social security beneficiaries. This essay takes advantage of the good socialist governance
in Vermont to make a rational decision regarding the transfer of Probate and
Family Court to licensed social workers employed by the Treasury. It is found that by socializing the civil law a great deal
of legal strife could be eliminated thereby increasing longevity and improving
the quality of life by enforcing the separation of the socialist party and the
social worker. The Virgin Mary is
proselytized for the discipline of the marry-in corp in regards to reverting to their maiden name when divorced
or widowed.
Fault of the Haitian
Constitution of 1987: A Voodoo Ritual to End all Abuses
of Power and Acts of God HA-26-4-10
Fault is found in the sandwiching of Title X of the
Haitian Constitution of 1987 pertaining to Family between Title IX Environment
with penal protection and Title XI Armed Forces and Police. It is therefore
proposed to amend the Constitution of 1987 under Article 282 as proof against
the abuse of power and Acts of God such as the 8.8 Haitian Quake of January 12,
2010. It is recommended that Haiti
amend their constitution to separate the armed forces and family, and also to
recognize the voodou religion unique to
Haiti,
wherefore - Article 30-1 would be inserted in Title III Chapter 2 Section E and
subsequent sub-articles renumbered so as to recognize voodou. It would read something along the lines of, Article
30-1 Voodou is a religion
unique to Haiti. Haiti could therefore defend the reputation of their native
religion internationally and even sell rights thereto. Title X Family
would be transferred to a Basic Right in Title III Chapter 2 Section F and the
Constitution would be recodified with as minimal
impact as possible. In the US Constitution it is the right to bear arms and
quarter troops in homes in the face of the first amendment freedoms and right
to sue the government that offends. This false association is often
redressed by the separation of church and state, whereby God blesses our homes,
families and speaks for the legitimate institution of marriage and the State
for the government and legislature and there is no religious persecution. With the State not
ashamed no one could discriminate against Haitian voodoo, HA could demonstrate
how people of good faith cure themselves of the DR and we could all express our
concern that even the United Charter Legitimate Edition (UNCLE) might be an abuse of power.
Deepwater Horizon Spill Response
Solution HA-8-6-10
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil platform, drilling at a depth 5,000 feet in the Mississippi Canyon, about 40 miles off the Louisiana coast, suffered a catastrophic explosion; killing 11 seamen, it sank a
day-and-a-half later. The rig,
manufactured by Hyundai in South
Korea, was owned by Transocean L.L.C. and
leased by British Petroleum (B.P.). The
accident occurred a day after Halliburton had cemented the pipe, B.P. rushed
although warning lights flashed, and before the cement hardened, an explosion
occurred and the blowout preventer manufactured by Cameron, that is supposed to
cut and seal the pipe in case of malfunction, failed to work, although it had
passed inspection 10 days before. The
resulting oil spill is the largest in U.S. history, larger than the Exxon
Valdez, that precipitated the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, that
threatens to rank amongst the major spills of 100-300,000 tons. Everyday an estimated 12-19,000 barrels of
oil (42 gallons to a barrel and 7.33 barrels to a ton, at 60 degrees
Fahrenheit), is leaking. Trimming the
pipes to put on the top hat increased the flow of oil about 25%, the top hat catches 11,000 barrels a day at its current
state of development. It is estimated
that by the beginning of June nearly 100,000 tons of petroleum had leaked into
the Gulf and by August when a relief will has been drilled, and the leak should
be sealed, either conventionally or by controlled nuclear explosion,
200,000-300,000 tons of oil shall have contaminated the waters and shores of
the Gulf. Thousands of miles of waters
have been closed to fishing and over a thousand live and dead animals have been
collected. Wind and currents threaten to
carry the slick to East Gulf Florida
and ultimately, in a diluted form, to the Atlantic. The Deepwater Horizon Response Unified
Command is coordinating the conversion of fishing vessels. States, Louisiana,
Alabama, Mississippi
and Florida
are coordinating volunteers. Private
Citizens are protecting their shores with booms. Every effort must be made to contain the
spill at sea with booms, skimming up the oil and dumping the solid waste at
E.P.A. approved dumps on-shore. It is
estimated that B.P. is responsible for $10.5 billion, mostly for the economic
damage to the fishing and tourism industries, about 50-75% of their projected
profits for 2010.
CHAPTER
1 Military Democracy (MD)
To transfer Chapter One Navy Hospitals, Naval Home,
Army and other Naval Hospital, and Hospital Relief for Seamen and Others §1-40 to Chapter 10 Armed Forces
Retirement Home §400-435 and write a whole new Chapter
on military democracy. This Chapter shall change the name of the
Department of Defense (DoD)
to the Military Department (MD). The US Military employs an
estimated 2.8 million US citizens
including 600,000 civilian employees. In FY
2009 military spendingrose to $611 billion one
half of global military spending. The elimination of nuclear arsenal is
a priority. Under the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT)
the US,
who has an estimated 10,000 warheads, must reduce their arsenal to no more
than 1,700 to 2,200 nuclear warheads by 2012. Elimination of
various Cold War weapons systems can save $50 billion from maintenance,
redeployment from Iraq and Afghanistan can
save another $50 billion. For the first time since the war began
troop levels have gone down in Iraq
below troop levels in Afghanistan,
a little over ninety thousand in both nations.
US troops are scheduled to leave Iraq
in August 2010 and to go down in Afghanistan in the fall of 2010 and
be completely deployed by fall of 2011. Since
its foundation the US military
has suffered nearly 1.3 million casualties in 13 wars. There are
reported to be 26.4 million US veterans. To
keep the peace the military must carefully prohibit the use of force, thermal
oceanic dumping, biological experimentation and damaging environmental
modification programs; carbon emissions must be capped. Military
spending must be limited to not more than $400 billion
annually. Surplus military assets shall be sold to the most peaceful
bidder. The US shall
veto UN Chapter VII missions and instead promote humanitarian missions that pay
payroll taxes and corporate profits, less social insurance and deductibles, to
the general treasury of any developing democratic nation they
occupy. The United
States must purchase rights to African
Command, Iraq Reconstruction Fund and US/Afghan Peace Treaty from the Author;
and elect a new, civilian Secretary for the Department. Democratic
peace theory holds that liberal democracies tend to be more peaceful than
authoritarian or totalitarian states because they don’t make war upon other
democratic nations…51
CHAPTER 3 Health and Welfare
(HaW)
To
amend Chapter 3 National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers §71-150. To pass a Balanced Budget
Amendment to the US Constitution.
To adequately staff the Social Security Administration (SSA) to
eliminate the disability backlog and supervise health care. To add cardiovascular
disease the Disability Quick List. To change the name of the Centers for
Medicare Medicaid and SCHIP (CMS) to National Health Insurance (NHI) and
transfer the confidential government health insurance program to SSA. Freeze or
limit medical cost increases to less than 3%.
Allow for patients to refuse to pay for unnecessary, overpriced, or
harmful medical treatment. Evolve to a
universal health insurance system and then to a national health service that is
free for all. Establish a 1% social
security payroll tax for international development. Ultimately we must eliminate the income cap
on SSA contributions to create a welfare system that would completely eliminate
poverty in the United States. One-in-six Americans
receives a Social Security benefit. At the end of 2008, almost 51 million people were
receiving benefits: 35 million retired workers
and dependents of retired workers, 6 million survivors of deceased workers,
and 9 million disabled workers and dependents of disabled workers. During the
year, an estimated 162 million people had earnings covered by Social Security
and paid payroll taxes. Total benefits paid in 2008 were $615 billion. Total
income was $805 billion, and assets held in special issue U.S. Treasury
securities grew to $2.4 trillion. Together Medicare
and Medicaid served 87 million people at a combined cost of $602 billion. Health care reform is social security
reform. Medicare and Medicaid operate
under Social Security statute, it is logical that they would follow SSA to
independence, but SSA must be adequately staffed to enforce their pension for
civil torts…370
CHAPTER
9 Public Health Department (PHD)
To
amend Chapter 9 Hospitalization of Mentally Ill Nationals Returned From Foreign Countries §321- §329. In
the 20thcentury considerable progress was made eradicating
communicable diseases, in the 21st century medical science must
begin to communicate about the laboratory pathogens that are theoretically the
cause of the majority of non communicable diseases. To secure the
people against the dangers of the Public Health Service the Centers for Medicare,
Medicaid & SCHIP (CMS) shall change their name to National Health Insurance
(NHI) and be transferred with all other Mandatory Benefits Programs to the
management of the Social Security Administration (SSA). Children’s Health
Insurance shall be financed with 100% of the proceeds of the Attorney General’s
Master Tobacco Settlement. The Substance Abuse Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) shall change its name to Social Work
Administration (SWA). The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Office
of Diversion Control shall change its name to the Drug Evaluation Agency (DEA)
and be transferred to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Whereupon
the name of DHHS may be changed to the Public Health Department (PHD) on the
condition that an Education Division (ED) to the Agency for Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry (ATSDR) be created to secure toxic laboratory supplies. To
limit medical costs by enabling patients to refuse to pay and be compensated
for abusive, involuntary, and/or unnecessary treatment and for the poor to gain
access to medical care all health institutions shall be required to employ
Ethics Committees. Internet medical records shall be confidential. Epidemiological
statistics shall be improved. Medical residency rotations limited to less
than 60 hours a week. Payments to high paid specialists reduced and family
practice promoted. The abuse of bio-medical research supplies is
prohibited and tans-fat banned…1243
