OF COURSE the country is gripping in EEK-bola fear and the Main SCREAM Media MUST do its part to exacerbate this near-zero-per-cent chance YOU WILL BE EXPOSED AND DIE narrative. Leading the pack on the Sunday Funnies is DOCTOR ANTHONY "Tony" FAUCI, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who gets his own Infectious Disease Control security detail to visit State of The Candy, Meet the Chuck, Face the Bob, This Snafugopolis and FAKE SNOOZE where he will demonstrate how to properly don Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that most U.S. hospitals DO NOT HAVE. FSN anchor CHRIS WALLACE reportedly will spray-paint Dr. Fauci with red goop on a FAKE hospital set (like those used by FAKE SPORTS football guys) and laugh hilariously as Dr. Fauci tries to not get the fake blood on his body as he attempts to disrobe his PPE. Watch Chris Wallace FREAK OUT when he gets splashed with the fake red goop! Great laughs! BTV Editor-At-Large MADDY has this one courtesy Josh Marshall's TalkingPointsMemo: TPM Reader JM on Rick Scott, hospital preparedness and the "Ebola cart" "It’s An Object of Gallows Humor for the Staff"
    I have a perspective tying together today’s big news brouhahas. My wife is an ER nurse at a major urban hospital owned by the Hospital Corporation of America, the hospital chain once run by Rick Scott. It’s the largest for-profit medical system in the world, and is of course also notable for its ‘creative billing’ practices in the largest Medicare fraud settlement in history. Scott was booted from the CEO position following that fraud investigation, so he’s not directly responsible for current conditions in those hospitals. But it is obvious to those who work there that the combination of lax training and toxic labor relations ‘leaders’ like him have brought to the company are emblematic of a big problem for US hospitals if a major outbreak of ebola or other infectious disease occurs. My wife’s ER has an ‘ebola cart’ with some lightweight protective gear and written instructions for putting on a PPE, but the instructions are a loose bundle of papers and the pictures don’t match the gear in the cart and has inaccuracies that put them at serious risk. It’s an object of gallows humor for the staff. That’s the totality of their training or preparedness so far. As we all now know, PPEs are not easy to put on and take off correctly. Even though nurses all have experience with standard droplet control (they see TB and HIV all the time), ebola is a special case. They have gone months and months without a nurse education director because no one wants to deal with their management and take the position. Her coworkers are clear that they will refuse to treat an ebola patient because they have woefully inadequate training in the correct procedures and lack proper gear. And yet the head of infectious disease at this hospital went on the local news to proclaim the hospital was ready to receive ebola patients safely. They obviously didn’t bother to speak to a single nurse on the front lines. I’m not particularly panic-y about ebola, even though obviously the family members of ER personnel have a lot at stake in ebola preparedness. But I think that this situation will be the weak link in any major national response. So many of our hospitals are run by lunatics like Rick Scott who seek only the highest profit margin. They do not invest in training, they build charting mechanisms that are good for billing but not treating patients, they constantly fight with their unionized employees, they lie to the public, etc, etc. We like to imagine that competent, highly-skilled medical institutions like Emory will save us, but we have way more Dallas Presbyterians in this country than we have Emorys. You can see exactly this managerial incompetence—and toxic labor relations—woven through the statement released by the nurses at Dallas Presbyterian today. Also see the head of National Nurses United on All In With Chris Hayes for a similar perspective. To put it bluntly: we’ve entrusted our national medical system to the managerial competence and goodwill of the Rick Scotts of the world, and that is much scarier than a podium fan.
 CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? (If you're unfamiliar with the "Rick Scott-fan-gate" angst see BradBlog WTF?!: Florida Gov. Rick Scott Refuses to Come Out on Stage for Gubernatorial Debate [VIDEO]) So for all the brouhaha about the bennies "Obamacare" DO give to the "uninsured" one big sty-in-the-eye is the fact that Big Pharma & Big Med INS COs will reap HUGE $$$$$$$$ in profits Biggest winners in Obamacare? The health insurance companies. Very “progressive.”
obamacare_medinsprofits
Barrack Obama is the largest enabler of the big 5 health insurance companies there has ever been, by a long shot...... The For-Profit Health Care "Model" was brought to light on the Big Screen in 2007 with Michael Moore's SiCKO so preview that for background info. Of course it shouldn't be poor shtoop Dr. Fauci on the telly but instead the REAL U.S. SURGEON GENERAL, no? Guess what? The U.S. DOES NOT HAVE A SURGEON GENERAL! Why? Doctors ‘Aghast’ That Surgeon General Nominee Blocked For Gun Control Views In another time and place, a nominee like Dr. Vivek Murthy, with a narrative so akin to conservative politicians like Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, would sail through Senate confirmation as the nation’s surgeon general. But in our time and place, special interest groups have hijacked Dr. Murthy’s nomination, as they have the entirety of the American political process. As physicians and students of public service, we are aghast. .......... This new style of McCarthyism comes at a time when the United States leads the world in gun deaths and 15 months after the tragedy at Newtown. After all, even C. Everett Koop, the legendary surgeon general nominated by Ronald Reagan, described gun violence as a public health emergency. But in our America, facts such as these have little impact in the national debate. The NRA’s influence – and that of countless special interest groups like it – cannot be ignored..... Of course this all goes back to the GOPhers plotting to BLOCK each and every move by Obomer that just might move the country forward as outlined in the new Robert Draper Book: GOP's Anti-Obama Campaign Started Night Of Inauguration WASHINGTON -- As President Barack Obama was celebrating his inauguration at various balls, top Republican lawmakers and strategists were conjuring up ways to submarine his presidency at a private dinner in Washington. The event -- which provides a telling revelation for how quickly the post-election climate soured -- serves as the prologue of Robert Draper's much-discussed and heavily-reported new book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives." ........ For several hours in the Caucus Room (a high-end D.C. establishment), the book says they plotted out ways to not just win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama's legislative platform. "If you act like you're the minority, you're going to stay in the minority," Draper quotes McCarthy as saying. "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign.".......... And challenge they have resulting in the most disfunctional Congress seen in decades. Kevin Drum and Jaeah Lee at Mother Jones figured out 3 Charts Explain Why Democrats Went Nuclear on the Filibuster For all practical purposes, Republicans had declared war on Obama's very legitimacy as president, forbidding him from carrying out a core constitutional duty. Begging and pleading and cutting deals was no longer on the table. Eliminating the filibuster for judicial and executive branch nominees was the only option left, and on Thursday that's what Democrats finally did. I guess that's why in part we at BTV refer to the GOPhers as Regressives and Troglodytes! It's fairly obvious to the uninterested observer that the GOPhers have NO INTEREST in uplifting their fellow citizens but would rather take re-election campaign ca$h from transnational corporate conglomerates to do THE EXACT OPPOSITE. Even though the Dems feed at some of the same troughs of "dialing for dollars" Korporate Ka$h by-and-large these Dems are moving the ball FORWARD not BACKWARD like Senators Warren, Sanders, Brown and others down-ticket. Even full-blown corporatists like Mary Landrieu and Dianne Feinstein are nominally better than their tea-bag counterparts. As we move toward Election Day November 4th we ask that you to engage yer friends, neighbors, co-workers and even complete strangers and educate them on the importance of rejecting any and all GOPhers and their REGRESSIVE, DESTRUCTIVE and plain WRONG policies that have all but turned this country into a form of corporate feudalism not seen here in a over a century. The pendulum has swung way too far RIGHT and MUST SWING the other way, and FAST as the human race faces innumerable challenges, starting with global anthropogenic climate change and corporate pillaging of carbon resources followed by the house-of-cards global capitalistic monetary system ready to implode that fuels the corporate pillaging (with OUR tax dollars mind you). So this Mid-Term election is BIG! HUGE! Let the 2014 Election be the one remembered in history as beginning of the Big Pendulum Swing. If we're successful in 2014 we might have a fighting chance GOING FORWARD. Saner heads MUST prevail!

The 1st Amendment is Our Permit Our permit to occupy is The First Amendment. Quickly sign the following statement which will be delivered to mayors, police chiefs and major media across the country:

    Our permit to occupy public squares and parks is in The First Amendment, which affirms "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." When people across the Middle East occupied public squares, leaders in Washington mostly cheered those protesters and warned Middle Eastern governments not to use force to clear them. Those other societies don’t have a First Amendment. Yet Washington affirmed the universal right to assembly and protest. We do have a First Amendment. The force being used to clear nonviolent protesters from public squares in our country is unacceptable. It must stop.

The Democracy Collaborative—the host of C-W.org—in partnership with the Cleveland Foundation, the Ohio Employee Ownership Center, Shorebank Enterprise Cleveland, the City of Cleveland, and the city's major hospitals and universities—is helping to implement a new model of large-scale worker-owned and community-benefiting businesses. The Evergreen Cooperative Initiative is beginning to build serious momentum in one of the cities most dramatically impacted by the nation's decaying economy. Increasingly, this model is being referred to nationally as The Cleveland Model. Initial planning is now underway to assist other cities in Ohio and nationwide to replicate and adapt this innovative approach to economic development, green job creation, and neighborhood stabilization.

NET NEUTRALITY! SaveTheInternet.com Declaration of Internet Freedom Tired of fighting bad bills like SOPA, PIPA and CISPA? Want to stand up against those who are trying to control what we do and say online? It's time for something different. A group of more than 1,500 organizations, academics, startup founders and tech innovators has come together to produce a Declaration of Internet Freedom, a set of five principles that put forward a positive vision of the open Internet. Our goal: Get millions of Internet users to sign on to this Declaration. Build political power for Internet users to make sure that we get a seat at the table whenever, and wherever, the future of the Internet is being decided. It's time to stop playing defense and start going on the offensive. The open Internet is central to people’s freedom to communicate, share, advocate and innovate in the 21st century. But powerful interests want to censor free speech, block the sharing of information, hinder innovation and control how Internet users get online. And all too often, people in power are making political decisions behind closed doors about how the Internet should operate — and they're doing this without the involvement of actual Internet users. The result: policies that could close down the open Internet and destroy our freedom to connect. It’s time for us to reclaim the Internet for its users. Take action now and sign the Declaration of Internet Freedom. ACTION! Stop the FCC from Breaking the Internet The Federal Communications Commission is proposing rules that would kill — rather than protect — Net Neutrality and allow rampant discrimination online. Under these rules, telecom giants like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would be able to pick winners and losers online and discriminate against online content and applications. And no one would be able to do anything about it. We must stop the FCC from moving forward with these rules, which would give the green light to ISPs eager to crush Net Neutrality. The agency can preserve Net Neutrality only by designating broadband as a telecommunications service under the law. Anything else is an attack on our rights to connect and communicate. Tell FCC Chairman Wheeler to throw out his proposed rules. Demand nothing less than real Net Neutrality. SIGN NOW at Stop the FCC from Breaking the Internet at freepress.net NOW. Join the Day of Action on May 15! The Internet will rise up online and take to the streets. SIGN UP HERE to learn more!

Stop Media Consolidation! Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski is trying to change the agency’s ownership rules to pave the way for Murdoch to get exactly what he wants. Worse, Genachowski and Murdoch are keeping this all very hush-hush, hoping you won't notice. These changes wouldn’t just benefit Murdoch. If the FCC proposal passes, one company could own the major daily newspaper, two TV stations and up to eight radio stations in your town. And that one company could be your Internet provider, too. What is the FCC thinking?!? We can still stop the agency from taking this perilous step — but we have less than a month to do it. By taking action, you’re joining a movement of millions who are working to stop big media from getting even bigger. Please take action today.

REPRESENT.US IT’S TIME TO GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS SO THE GOVERNMENT CAN REPRESENT US. Represent.Us is a fresh campaign to pass the American Anti-Corruption Act: a law that would overhaul campaign finance, impose strict lobbying and conflict of interest laws, and end secret political money. We are mobilizing millions of Americans — conservatives and progressives, young and old, every issue group fighting K Street, online and offline — to join this campaign. Represent.Us is not just building a movement to pass the Act. The campaign will use hard-hitting accountability tactics to unseat politicians who fail to endorse the Act. If passed, the Act will completely reshape American politics and policy-making and give people a voice.

    • Stocks plunge, Treasuries gain, oil tumbles by Stacy Herbert — Stacy Summary: More turmoil. Has Jim Cramer started yelling at Janet Yellen that “it’s no time to be an academic” blah blah blah. READ Treasuries Gain as Oil Drops Below $80 While Stocks Slide (bloomberg) Treasuries and the dollar climbed, oil fell below $80 a barrel and U.S. futures plunged more than 1 percent in one hour as concern deepened that global growth is slowing. European stocks slid an eighth day in the longest rout since 2003 and bonds from Greece to Spain tumbled.

Locals hurry by, avoiding looking at the man, while visitors stare in fascinated horror.
    • If the US Deficit is ‘only’ $483 Billion, why does the Government Have to Borrow $1.1 Trillion to Fill the Hole? by WolfStreet.com — We’re shocked and appalled: they’re lying to us, here in the land of open and transparent governance? Read…If the US Deficit is ‘only’ $483 Billion, why does the Government Have to Borrow $1.1 Trillion to Fill the Hole?.
    • Propaganda 101 – How the Pentagon is Trying to Rewrite Vietnam War History by Michael Krieger — In case you weren’t aware, the Pentagon is set to roll out a 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War. As a part of this event, the Pentagon intends to rewrite history by whitewashing this period of civil unrest and government shame from American history. The propaganda is so blatant that it has resulted in many of the era’s most well known protestors and activists to come together in order to stop it… Read more HERE......
    • Welcome to Arcadia – The California Suburb Where Wealthy Chinese Criminals are Building Mansions to Stash Cash by Michael Krieger — In some California communities, 90% of real estate buyers are from China. Yes, 90%. Naturally, many of them are buying multi-million dollar homes in “all cash” transactions. Well it appears that one of those communities is the 57,000 person Los Angeles suburb known as Arcadia. The suburb had a relatively insignificant Asian population of 4% in 1980, but it is now 59%. Of course, I could care less what the ethnic mix of any particular suburb is, but what does concern me is that a lot of the recent money coming in seems to be from questionable characters. The buyers are getting access to U.S. real estate via the EB-5 visa program, and of the 10,000 of these given away this year, 85% went to the Chinese. Oh, and it’s estimated some 20% of these home sit vacant. A great use of resources….. Read more HERE......
    • KEISER REPORT [KR666] Keiser Report: Lucky Chinese Number We host episode 666! The mark of the beast? Or the mark of the financial regulator Nero’s fiddling while markets burn? We discuss the IMF warnings on the speculative bubbles caused by zero percent interest rates but the chaos that could ensue if rates return to ‘normal.’ Whatever that is. In the second half, we discuss 666 being a lucky number in China, where the economy is now bigger than the US, according to World Bank data.
    • KEISER REPORT [KR667] Keiser Report: Trickle Down Terror! We discuss the case of trickle down clown terror as the clowns terrorizing California behave like the central banking clowns scaring the global markets. In the second half, Max interviews Professor Antal Fekete of FeketeResearch.com about deflation, bonds, and how it is that the current European depression is worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s when Fekete was a child.
    • KEISER REPORT [KR668] Keiser Report: Punk Rock Gobbing from Central Bank We discuss Johnny Rotten calling Russell Brand a ‘bum hole’ and offer the Keiser Report show as a platform for a debate between the two. Max notes that quantitative easing is the central bank equivalent of punk rock gobbing. We highlight several of the many market distortions similar to the insanity leading up to the 1929 market crash – including $140,000 AUD cats. In the second half, Max continues with his interview of Professor Antal Fekete of FeketeResearch.com about how the 1921 bond market collapse led the US Federal Reserve & Treasury conspiring to illegally introduce open market operation, leading to a situation in which profits in the bond market are risk free while profits in the commodity market are NOT risk free.

  • The Scott Horton Radio Show
    scotthorton
    Scott Horton is host of Antiwar Radio on Pacifica 90.7 FM KPFK in Los Angeles and KUCR 88.3 in Riverside, and the Scott Horton Show on No Agenda Radio. (You can listen live Monday through Friday New show hours effective 5/26/2014 @ 12-3 PM Eastern! HERE.) Plenty of archives too!
    • Scott Horton Radio Show Progress Report: All right, yall, welcome back to the show to the inaugural Scott Horton Show progress report! It’s been an eventful year since the show and I (amicably) parted ways with Antiwar.com, so I thought I would highlight just a few of the show’s important milestones, as well as preview some of the exciting projects to look for in the near future. ........ The show on Pacifica KPFK 90.7 FM in L.A., still called Antiwar Radio, has now moved to join their Sunday morning public affairs line up (8:30 am pt - http://kpfk.org), and remains the largest source of listeners, with 15,000-20,000 people tuning in weekly. The future: Liberty Express Radio is growing and bringing me along for the ride. The great Charles Goyette hooked me up with Alan Butler and the Liberty Express earlier this year, and what has been the daily replay there from 3-5 eastern time has become my best listened-to show. And now they’re adding my friend Tom Woods to the lineup from 2-3 PM. That does it. I’m making the switch! Starting Monday, October 14, the live show is moving to 3-5 PM Eastern time on LibertyExpressRadio.com, as well as NoAgenda and my own stream....... New show hours effective 5/26/2014: 12-3 PM Eastern!
