Winter 2010

 

The United States has a serious public health problem.  Life expectancy dipped slightly in the United States from 2007 to 2008, according to a new federal report. Life expectancy for Americans in general declined by a little more than one month, from 77.9 to 77.8 years. For women, the average life expectancy dropped by a tenth of one year, to 80.3 years; for men it also dropped by the same amount, to 75.3 years.  For the first time in 50 years, stroke was not the third-leading cause of death; it was overtaken by chronic lower respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The age-adjusted death rates for stroke dropped 3.8 percent from 2007 to 2008, while rates for chronic lower respiratory diseases rose 7.8 percent, according to the report, released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Broken down by race, life expectancy slipped 0.2 years for whites. Life expectancy for black women remained unchanged at 76.8 years in 2008, while life expectancy for black men hit a record high -- 70.2 years -- although they still live nearly eight fewer years, on average, than white men. The difference in life expectancy between the white and black populations was 4.6 years in 2008, a 0.2 year drop from 2007. Heart disease and cancer, which are the two leading causes of death in the United States, still accounted for nearly half -- 48 percent -- of all deaths in 2008.  Death rates rose noticeably in 2008 from several other causes other than respiratory diseases -- Alzheimer's disease (up 7.5 percent), influenza and pneumonia (up 4.9 percent), hypertension, or high blood pressure (up 4.1 percent), suicide (up 2.7 percent), and kidney disease (up 2.1 percent).  To reverse this trend and improve life expectancy the most logical solution is to give everyone Over-the-counter access to the best medicine – antibiotics.

 

Although the medical propaganda states that antibiotics are the third leading lengthener of life expectancy in history they omit to mention that the top two increases in human life expectancy were the result of non-medical advances in clean water and sanitation.  This means that antibiotics take the prize for best medicine.  It is no laughing matter that people are denied antibiotics and are coerced by ignorant, greedy and cruel health care professionals and bureaucrats to consume second rate medicine that offers only minor relief and must therefore undergo expensive treatment and dangerous operations when antibiotics is more often than not a speedy cure.  There is no greater hypocrisy than Aspirin, the most lucrative drug, quite useful in treating headaches and arthritis.  In recent years Aspirin has become enforced in hospitals by the government for heart attacks although it is the pain deadening effects of Aspirin overdose that cause the sensation described as muscle death and the blood thinning myth only drives people to consume more than the small 81 mg limit for heart pain.  The cure for endocarditis is simply antibiotics, penicillin or erythromycin.  It is either ignorant or cruel to not prescribe antibiotics for anyone with organ or tissue damage against the frequent Strep and Staph infections that take root there and impede recovery for years until death.  Bronchial diseases are also more often than not treatable with antibiotics such as erythromycin.  It is critical that people have access to life saving medicine, the best medicine, antibiotics, without having to come into contact with the nosocomial infections, ruthless greed and senseless tortures of the government regulated health care system.  The most likely method of improving statistical life expectancy is to make antibiotics available Over-the-counter.    

 

Over-the-counter Antimicrobial Agent Course for the FDA: A Trade for Organic Antibiotics by the Holidays HA-20-11-10

 

The Bordetella pertussis epidemic unleashed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of July 2010 P.L. 111-148 has heightened sensitivity to the compelling need for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that all Americans have Over-the-counter access to safe, effective and affordable stockpiles of oral antimicrobial agents, both organic antibiotics and synthetics, as well as antimicrobial cleaning supplies and detergents, so the people and primary care physicians will stop calling the Act the “Patient Pertussis and Affordable Rheum Attack of 2010” and call it the “Productive Patient and Affordable Home”.  Pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory infection, with a distinctive phlegm producing cough, known as whooping cough, that lasts six weeks with associated rheumatic pains throughout the body.  Primary Care Physicians have dubbed this whooping cough epidemic the “90 day Pertussis” because many cases drag on as long as three months, probably as the result of re-exposure because one does not become immune to pertussis without a DTaP (Diptheria and Pertussis) vaccine.  Smoke-stopping is recommended by physicians, but the most important thing, is to avoid being coughed on, fast to avoid all proteins and get lots of aerobic exercise especially jogging and hiking, bathe and wash all fabrics and surfaces frequently to disinfect the cloud of infectious material spread by respiratory phlegm droplets as cloy as tobacco smoke.  Antibiotic associated colitis, Pseudomembranous colitis, usually caused by toxins of Clostridium difficile, a normal gut commensal, may develop as a side-effect to antibiotics in 1% of consumers who should switch to metronidazole if antimicrobials agents are so very needed.  Streptococci causes rheumatic heart disease and endococci cause endocarditis for which organic penicillin is most highly recommended for the cellular death and dissolution of bacterial vegetation of the heart rather than the heart muscle.  Toxic shock syndrome may result from the mixture of Staphylococcus aureau, a leading cause of food poisoning that occurs in the skin and Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A) that cause strep throat in teens.  Garlic is a natural antibiotic, avoid all proteins, milk, meat, eggs and even beans and chilies and shower frequently, wash your hands, fabrics and your vegetables carefully and exercise. Antibacterial agents are among the most commonly prescribed drugs of any kind worldwide.  At least 150 million antibiotic prescriptions are written in the United States each year, many of them for children.  Use of antibacterial agents in hospitals in the United States accounts for 20 to 50 percent of all drug costs and represents the largest expenditure for any pharmacologic class.

 

Rolling Back the Tobacco Tax of 2009 Act HA-10-10-10

 

Whereas small cigars and roll-your-own tobacco are preferred by the 31 percent of tobacco smokers who are poor; And the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA, Public Law 111–3) Title VII Revenue Provisions Section 701 Increase in Excise Tax Rate on Tobacco Products, imposed a 2,653 percent tax increase on small cigars and 2,159 percent tax increase on roll-your-own tobacco; And small cigarettes, large cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff, pipe tobacco, cigarette papers and cigarette tubes were subjected to a more reasonable 158 percent increase and large cigars a 155% increase and no floor tax. Therefore this cruel and unusual excise tax is excessive; And consumers of small cigars and roll-your-own are due the equal protection of the clause 26USC(F)(65)(B) §6423(c); To the full extent of their loss; Calculated by dividing the excessive tax hike on small cigars and hand-rolling tobacco by the 158 percent, multiplying by the two years the excessive rate was in effect and rounding to the nearest whole integer, wherefore; Small Cigars – Section 5701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as codified at 27CFR(I)(40)(C)§40.21 is amended by striking $50.33 and inserting $1.828 with a footnote that states, “refunded at this tax rate for excessive CHIPRA hike of 2009-2010 until April 1, 2045”.  Roll-Your-Own Tobacco- Section 5701(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as codified at 27CFR(I)(40)(C)§40.25a is amended by striking $24.78 and inserting $1.0969 with a footnote that states, “refunded at this rate for excessive CHIPRA hike of 2009-2010 until April 1, 2038”.  And 100 percent of the proceeds of the Attorney Generals’ Master Tobacco Settlement shall be deposited in the Federal, State Children’s Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) account. States, particularly those increasing rates 2009-2010, shall grant roll-your own and small cigar smokers refunds. Taxpayers shall not be eligible for the rolled back to the March 31, 2009 tax rate of 2008 for our traditionally cheapest rolling tobacco and small cigars, until they can prove they have reduced wholesale and retail prices to what they were before the tax increase, allowing for a 3 percent inflation rate and any new state excise tax increases incurred 2009-2010.  To express better understanding the FDA Warning Labels shall read – Nicotine withdrawal is a mental illness.  Excessive smoking and addiction may irritate emphysema, cancer and heart disease and complicate pregnancy.  Datura stramonium (Jimson weed), as well as D. metel and D. fastuosa can be smoked for the relief of asthma.  Verbascum Thapsus (mullein) can also be smoked for pulmonary ailments.   

 

Mission Statement of the Social Security Administration Beneficiary Union HA-18-11-10

 

The mission of the Beneficiary Union is to represent all people who receive, or would like to receive, retirement, disability or supplemental security insurance administrated by the Social Security Administration.  The purpose of the Beneficiary Union is to allow beneficiaries the freedom of the press, peaceable assembly and trade.  This Union is not elected by the Department of Labor.  Liver disease is not allowed in this Soviet Union.  This Union does not lobby the Democratic-Republican Congress.  Sickness, Poverty and Crime are not allowed by this Beneficiary Union.  This Beneficiary Union is a voluntary Community Service completely paid for by the regular benefit payments of the Social Security Administration.    We believe, at this time, social security guarantees all United States citizens, including children, an income of $1,000 a month.  We believe social security beneficiaries have achieved communist self-sufficiency and therefore have a duty of care to perform social work.  Social work begins with a happy home and family, heals the sick, cleans, feeds the hungry, houses the homeless, transports those on foot, liberates the slave, educates the stupid, balances the budget, pays the poor, employs the unemployed, and ends in peaceful and prosperous international relations.  While the strong eat anything they want, the weak eat only vegetables (Romans 14:2) Children’s Bible.  For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in union with the Messiah Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23) International Standard Version.  For the dictatorship of the proletariat to do social justice official documents must be emailed by the Author to the Secretary for publication.  In time it is hoped to coordinate with the disability and retirement advocacy organizations in every county in the nation to hold the social security administration accountable, host beneficiary union meetings to discuss issues affecting the beneficiary community, advertise housing and work opportunities within the beneficiary community, and promote social welfare.

 

American Popular Election: The United States has not had a Quorum for Democracy since 1900 HA-29-10-10

 

Just 26% of Americans say they are satisfied with the way the nation is being governed, the lowest in the history of the poll.  Fifty-eight percent of Americans believe a third major political party is needed because the Republican and Democratic Parties do a poor job of representing the American people.  The Democratic and Republican (DR) bipartisan system holds all public offices at all levels of government in a nearly totalitarian grip.  In 2005 ninety-nine of the one hundred U.S. senators were either republicans or Democrats, 434 of the 435 representatives in the House of Representatives are affiliated with one of the two major parties, all fifty of the state governors and more than 7,350 of the approximately 7,400 state legislators elected in partisan elections ran under major party labels.  The Democratic-Republican (DR) two party system evolved in six stages.  First, the Hamiltonian Federalist Party was defeated by the Democratic-Republican Party that ran virtually unopposed from 1800-1924.  Second, in 1824 the president became popularly elected but dissention within the Democratic-Republican Party led the Jacksonian Democrats and National Republican Party, later the Whigs to split the ticket.  Third the Republicans defeated the Southern Democrats in Civil War and militarily occupied them while blacks got the right to vote and as many as 2,000 were elected to public office, patronage kept voter turnout was high.  Fourth, by the turn of the century Jim Crow laws had suppressed the black vote and Republicans became decadent but held onto power until the Great Depression.  Fifth, the New Deal Democrats and their social welfare programs justified dramatic increase in taxation and government spending.  Sixth, the modern political system is known as the split ticket system because neither Democrat nor Republican seem to dominate and the President and Majority Party are more often than not from different parties.  To ensure the Democratic and Republican Parties are opposed voters are voting for legislators and Presidents from different parties, rather than remaining loyal to any one of the two major parties.  This game is however unequal to the challenge of redistributing wealth to the righteous.  The U.S. government is unpopular, the Democratic-Republican Party is deeply in debt to their aristocratic fantasies, the lack of a multi-party Democracy is glaring.  Public and private laws need to be made to redistribute not more than 25% of major party revenues and at least 50% of PACs to minor parties.   

 

Empirical US Foreign Assistance Statistics at the Close of the American Imperial Century: An Act to Secure a Voluntary 1 percent ODA Tax on Income HA-30-9-10

 

The US government needs to prove they have the human intelligence to contribute 0.7 percent of their GDP to ODA by 2015.  This can be accomplished if the US performs four tasks.  First, the US government’s official leaders of international development must publish annual foreign assistance statistics prominently on their website, transmit this to the US Census Bureau and CIA World Factbook to make foreign assistance the focus of US international relations for the domestic constituency of donors and advocates.  Second, capitalizing upon their new found bona fide empirical professionalism and mastery of the field of foreign relations the US Foreign Service must amend the intelligence failures in their foreign relations law, limit military financing to under the $800 million global limit, and bring an end to these foolish wars in the Middle East and Central Asia by purchasing their quota from an Afghan Opium Agency.  Third, going back the official table of foreign assistance the Department of State and USAID must account for the unique prevalence of private tax deductible contributions to causes that qualify as ODA and transmit these totals annually to the US Bureau of the Census and therefrom to the CIA World Factbook, OECD and UN Development Program to ensure the quantity and quality of US foreign aid is fully respected and credited by the international institutions that keep ODA statistics.  Fourth, to be fairly certain to achieve the 0.7 percent contribution target by 2015, a 350 percent increase from 0.2 percent, 0.25 with private contributions, the US must legislate a voluntary 1 percent official development payroll tax immediately, that would be administrated by USAID, that would not become enforced for all taxpayers until 2020 when the UN Charter Legitimate Edition should be ratified and first Secretary of the UN elected.  Everyone likes the idea of a tax to pay welfare to the world’s poorest people.  Three out of four Americans say they would like to pay such a 1 percent international development tax as long as it promoted peace and went to the world’s poorest people and the other quarter aren’t sure, but aren’t opposed to the idea.  Enacting the 1 percent international development tax now will give USAID the power to the fulfill the MDGs for the world’s poorest and richest alike.  A short Act is proposed in the appendix to this treatise to secure the peace, enact the tax and concisely and sovereignly direct US foreign policy at the beginning of the 21st century.    

 

Book 5 International Development (ID)

 

To amend Chapter 5 Columbia Institution for the Deaf §231-250.  Under the Millennium Development, MDGs to end poverty for 1990-2015, the number of hungry people living on less than $1 day is to be cut in half to 622 million people.  In 2005 843 million people, 12.5% of the population, were hungry and over a billion lived on less than a dollar a day, 21%.  In 2009 after the economic crisis the number of hungry people rose to 18%, 1.2 billion people and the number of poor to 22.9%, more than the 22.75% called for in the MDGs.  The spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic has already been halted and reversed.  The recession is a major setback and the only viable option is for the basket of industrialized national currencies to appreciate developing nation currencies, ending neo-colonial exploitation.  Official Development Assistance (ODA) growth must be sustained to achieve the intermediate target of 0.7% of GDP on the way to a 1% social security style payroll tax for international development.  The US must account for their unique private assistance flows in a up to date master table and report to the UN Demographic Yearbook.  Voting at the Bretton Woods institutions must be reformed from contribution based to population based, a one person one vote democratic system.  IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDR) shall be the international reserve currency.  The US shall reduce the price of a work visa from $2,500 to $500, purchase a quota from the Afghan Opium Agency, and terminate funding of the Israeli/Egyptian US military finance race.  The Foreign Service Exam shall be reserve for people with a minimum qualification of a BA in International Affairs or equivalency. The U.S. shall amend Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse (a-FRaI-d) to Foreign Relations (FR-ee), change the name of the Court of International of the United States (COITUS) to Customs Court (CC), to finish dividing the USAID Bureau for Asia and the Near East (ANE) into the Bureaus for the Middle East and Central Asia (MECA) including India and South East Asia (SEA) including Oceania.  Although the number of casualties of war have gone down since the foundation of the United Nations income inequality, poverty and deaths from preventable disease have increased and to democratically elect a bona fide civilian government it is resolved to set down the General of the United Nations (GUN), elect a Secretary of the UN (SUN), change ECOSOC to Socio-Economic Administration, General Assembly to Parliament, Trusteeship to Human Rights Council and establish an International Tax Administration by ratifying the United Nations Charter Legitimate Edition (UNCLE)…674

 

Book 8 Drug Regulation (DR)

 

To amend Chapter 6 Gorgas Hospital §300-320.  The objective of this work on pharmacology and toxicology is to reduce demand for the 10 billion prescriptions and oppression that fuel the $1 trillion global drug market with $600 billion in pharmaceutical sales and $400 billion in illicit drug sales, $160 billion pharmaceutical and $65 billion illicit drug sales in the U.S. alone.  The name of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) shall be changed to Drug Evaluation Agency (DEA), the Office of Diversion Control transferred to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the rest abolished, particularly the international offices.  The name of the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) shall be changed to Social Work Administration (SWA).  The Secretariat of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) shall be transferred to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Drugs removed from the U.N. Office of Crime.  Afghanistan shall be given 80% of the national and 75% of international opium quota until opium demand from the war economy has subsided.  A commission shall study the Psychotropic drug schedule to identify and remove from the circulation the pathogens that cause serious mental illness, reschedule Marijuana to Schedule III and terminate the automatically refilled military contracts under DEA Form 222, and repeal this loophole that hypothetically causes PTSD and Gulf War neurologic illnesses amongst soldiers, as well as suicide attackers.  The Controlled Substances Act, patent and Protection of Human Research subject statutes shall be amended to create a system whereby Regional Poison Control Centers shall assist the federal government to monitor the possession, transfer and use of all poisons and pathogens used in bio-medical research, to inspect those laboratories and receive reports from the public regarding the abuse of disease pathogens.  A rational classification system of Types of controlled substances shall enable Customs agents to control drugs and prohibit pathogens crossing the border.  As a matter of ethics doctors shall not be allowed to receive kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical companies shall not contribute to the Democrat and Republican (DR) parties instead diverting their political contributions to third party candidates.  Mandatory minimum sentencing shall be eliminated and sentenced reduced for illicit drug possession and trafficking.  Drug addiction treatment shall be safe, affordable and accessible.  MIRROR form….1085

 

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…1529
