David Stockman: Worst Law Passed in Four Decades Must Be Stopped

“‘It is a massive entitlement to end all entitlements. It is going to cause a fiscal hemorrhage that is not even yet anticipated. It will tie up one-sixth of GDP in the most monstrous, massive, bureaucratic snarl that you can’t imagine. So therefore this needs to be stopped before it becomes operational.’ Stockman expects more companies will follow the lead of GE (GE) and Walgreen (WAG) who have announced they will move employee or retiree healthcare benefits to private exchanges. Once millions of additional Americans are ‘dumped’ onto Obamacare exchanges, Stockman expects the cost to the government of subsidizing (with tax credits) these Americans’ insurance to swell.”

Americans Suffering Sticker Shock: Is Obamacare Really Affordable?

“It’s Day 8 of the Federal Government shutdown and many citizens who are able to sign up for healthcare under the Affordable Care Act are shocked how to see how expensive the plans are for working middle class families.  Workers who were dropped by their employer’s health insurance are being told to sign-up for Obamacare. However, they are discovering that it is certainly not that easy. Workers are finding a buggy and complicated system where their premiums are outrageous and that they are too wealthy for the tax deductions promised under ACA.”

Bill Bonner: How to Survive the Coming Zombie Apocalypse, Part 1

Bill-Bonner2

“The defining characteristic of a zombified system is the way it hands out its rewards. In an honest economy people do their best. They work hard. They take their chances. Some prevail because they are productive. Others are just lucky. The chips fall where they may. But as zombies take over the system, the chips fall where they are told to fall. Rather than to honest and efficient producers, the rewards go to those who curry favors. Elizabeth Fowler knows how it works. She labored at the left hand of senator Max Baucus, drafting the collection of crimes and punishments that came to be known as ‘Obamacare.'”

Goodbye Silk Road, Hello Sheep Marketplace

“The war on drugs is a costly game of cops and robbers. One illicit business is shut down, and a dozen more spring up. Instead of chasing after the administrators of online marketplaces, the authorities should check out the business model with a view to drug decriminalization. A rating system for buyers and sellers, similar to that operating on eBay, and the sterile, anonymous way in which goods and money change hands, would serve nicely to bring down street crime and the use of contaminated substances.  It is a fact of life that these substances are readily available anyway, only without any kind of quality assurance system and often in dangerous settings.”

Georgia Police Kill Diabetic After Family Calls 911 Requesting Ambulance

“On Friday afternoon, 43-year-old Jack Lamar Roberson was shot to death by Waycross police officers in front of his mother, fiancé and 8-year-old daughter.  Alicia Herron, Roberson’s fiancé and girlfriend of 10 years, says she called 911 to request an ambulance for Roberson out of concern for his diabetic condition. But police arrived at their home instead. Immediately after the shooting, around 100 people gathered in the neighborhood to express outrage at Roberson’s death, describing him as a devoted father, partner and son who never caused any trouble.”

Silk Road closure reportedly cuts off supply of drug for assisted suicides

“Euthanasia is illegal in many countries, but there are still doctors and advocates who will help distressed patients seeking voluntary death. Usually these patients are in so much pain, or their quality of life is so diminished, that they no longer want to live and prefer to exit on their own terms. Such patients were using Silk Road to purchase the lethal drug Nembutal and download copies of an ebook called The Peaceful Pill Handbook, says Australian right-to-die advocate Philip Nitschke. A search of the Silk Road forums confirmed that vendors were advertising Nembutal, which also has recreational uses.”

Why 60% of All Americans Now Think Government Has Too Much Power

“60% of all Americans believe the federal government has too much power. We’ve listed some of the major reasons why… According to a recent Gallup study, 60% of all Americans believe the federal government has too much power.  The percentage of Republicans who believe this is typically high, but recently the number of all Americans, Independents and Democrats included, dissatisfied with the federal government has grown to unprecedented levels.  Here are some recent examples of the large overreach of the federal government.”

Health Canada Approves Heroin Maintenance

“Last Friday, Health Canada used some creative rule-reading to approve a program that would provide prescription heroin to a small number of hard-core users, and the Conservative health minister isn’t happy. But doctors, advocates, and the users themselves are quite pleased — and once again, Canada stays on the cutting edge when it comes to dealing smartly with heroin use.  Health Canada approved access to prescription heroin for at least 15 people who are completing their participation in Vancouver’s Study to Assess Long-term Opioid Dependence (SALOME), which is testing whether prescribing heroin was more effective than prescribing methadone.”

CDC: Painkillers Kill Four Times More than Cocaine and Heroin Combined

“A powerful report spanning 10 years from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed that painkillers are actually responsible for a whopping four times as many deaths as both heroin and cocaine combined.  While the previous report documented in 2011 found that 12 million were actually on prescription painkillers purely for the high it gives, the new CDC papers found that there was a massive 415% rise in the overall rate of fatal painkiller overdoses from 1999 to 2010. We’re talking about a higher fatality rate than those who are dosing up on heroin and cocaine.”

Court rejects bid by Jehovah’s Witness to refuse blood transfusion

“The 17-year-old, who suffers from an aggressive cancer, lost his case against Sydney Children’s Hospital in March in which he had argued that treating him with blood products or a transfusion would breach his relationship with God.  ‘There is no doubting (the applicant’s) devotion to his faith, but his life has been cocooned in that faith,’ Justice Ian Gzell said at the time.  ‘The sanctity of life in the end is a more powerful reason for me to make the orders than is respect for the dignity of the individual.'”
