Palestine: The New Emerging State in the Middle East!
Thank You England, Spain, Sweden and now France for recognizing the state of Palestine! Finally, the past insane eruptions of conflict have settled into a narrative that portends peace and legitimacy. France, a country often associated with providing refuge to political dissidents around the world has boldly and correctly recognized the state of Palestine. Although this action is non-binding, it has the symbolic import of a de jure recognition of a group of people who have been displaced from their own homeland to pieces of land—both the West Bank and Gaza—that constitute for all reasonable purposes the new state of Palestine.

France follows several other countries like Spain, England and Sweden which have understood that the pronouncement of ‘statehood’ to refugees who have been thrown out of their own lands, for whatever reason, has legitimized the dreams of millions Palestinians to correctly call themselves a nation. Most importantly, the Palestinians can begin to have a piece of paper called the ‘passport’ that is recognized all over the world as a document that designates a particular person as a citizen of a country. For the past sixty years, Palestinians have had to endure the concept of ‘statelessness’ which entailed their begging for ‘laissez-passez’, transit papers from either Israel or some other non-indigenous authority.

Equally important, this symbolic recognition of Palestine is the direct consequence of the barbarous fifty day slaughter of innocent Palestinians in the camps of Gaza.  I have always found Bibi, the nominal leader of Israel, to be basically arrogant, merciless and not very bright, despite the fact that he went to my alma mater, MIT.  I can pronounce these words because since the time that my former boss, Sec State James Baker threw this ‘shithead’ out of the State Dept for his stupid, insolence pompous manners,  I knew that Bibi would lead Israel into a path of self-destruction.  Bibi is a spoiled American child reared by a self-aggrandizing Cornell University Professor.  Bibi’s father worked alongside another Cornell University Professor, the Neo-Con Paul Wolfowitz’s ruthless mathematician father.  Funny, how much of the foundational building blocks of the neo-cons come out of Cornell.

Unlike the true military geniuses, Moshe Dayan and Sharon, Bibi never once understood that to win a battle is not to win the war. This past battle of IDF tanks, jets, and gun boats, mercilessly bombarding innocent men, women and children reawakened the conscience of the world.  People like myself, decried the IDF’s actions as Nazi-like and compared it to the devastation of both the Warsaw Ghetto and Guernica, Spain during WWII. It was obvious to me that Bibi had finally reached the apex of his strategic limits and tactical malfeasance.

Those brave Israelis intelligence operatives and combat soldiers who defied Bibi’s orders to destroy the innocent, be they Palestinians, Druze, Jews or Christians, took the first and most important steps to realigning Israel with the principles of fairness and just deeds.  Justice and Fairness are at the root of Jewish philosophy evidenced by the 15th century writings of the great Maimonides—RAMBAM [medical doctor/ writer/ advisor to Arab leaders-- my direct descendant].
Thank you France. 
Thank you England.
Thank you Spain.
And, thank you Sweden.
Now, let the other countries of the world step forward and finally declare the just truth that those who have lived in the shadows of legitimacy and self-recognition can finally have their own State- PALESTINE!!

Mazel Tov! Salem Alechem! Merci! Thank you! Gracias! Tusen Tack!

  1. Bibi bibi... Neocons were good for youth, there was employment in those wars but that was all. America, Israel and Europe are always conducting same sinful mistakes, looking money not culture, you do not go to middle east if you do not invade North Africa, sins of crusaders was that they were not crusaders. They, were just private army rich nobility and clergy trying get one trade route toward east so they they can get silk and luxury good from china and india without having to pay money to arabs for passing their territory any more... Luxury destroyed them. Or how you would put it today, ...oil... That is why i am saying that Morocco stayed Muslim by providence of Devil. Keep going guys, go in circles like Maya calendar, i am sure you will get far far away. :))

  2. In 1940 or 1941 I think Moshe Dayan and Itzak Rabin went into Syria as commandos to fight the pro-German French. It was fighting the French that Dayan lost his eye. The fight between the Jews of Palestine and the British against the pro-Nazi governments in Syria and Iraq is little known to Americans but explains a lot about subsequent history.

  3. Recognizing a Palestinian state is necessary, but dividing Palestine into a Jewish state of Israel and tiny remaining areas constituting an Arab state won't work. All these "two state solutions" never address the issue of the Palestinian Arabs who were not permitted to return to what became Israel and what happened to their property. Believe it or not Israel told the Palestinians that Israel was confiscating their properties in absentia because the Iraqi government took all the property of the Jews there when they left for Israel in 1949....hardly a sound argument.

    The Jews in Israel knew they were acting ruthlessly and unfairly to the Arabs, and did use terror to frighten them away...

    But understand that for the Jews the issue at steak was the existence of their country, a new country, which otherwise would not come about if the Arabs were not driven out.

    It's one of those situations where you prefer not to harm someone, but without harming them you have to forgoe something colossal in value. Under such circumstances who else would have done the "right" thing? Look at history and tell me because I think although it was wrong it's what anyone else would have done.

  4. The big argument in Israel today is what's going to happen in a generation or so when Arab citizens of Israel outnumber the Jews?

    As the Israelis are framing it the choice is between continuing to be a Democracy or continuing to be a Jewish state.

    Last week Netanyahu introduced the first of what he intends to be many future laws to decrease Democracy. His plan is to gradually give second class legal status to all non-Jews. If this does not happen in a few decades non-Jews will outnumber Jews in the Kenesset and they will enact laws favoring themselves.

  5. When the Israelis took the west bank in 1967 Israeli leaders thought they were liberating the Arabs there and that the Arabs would welcome belonging to Israel. They were surprised when the PLO, PFLP, etc. took exception and went on a rampage in Jordan....

    Then in September 1970 King Hussein in Jordan slaughtered the Palestinians in a bloodbath few people today even know happened. That's how the Fadeyeen came to be in Lebanon, and then in 1982 they were slaughtered again so more....

    If the Israelis would have granted those in refuge citizenship, and citizenship to the Arabs in Gaza and the west bank most Arabs would have gone for it....

    There would have been a struggle between most Arabs who favored integration with Israel and the Fedayeen....

    I like that term for the one-state solution....integration.

  6. Let's be honest here.....

    If Arabs living in Egypt or Syria had the chance to live in Israel as full citizens they'd MOVE TO ISRAEL IN A HEARTBEAT.

    Israel claims to be the only modern democracy and economy in the region, and no one knows the truth of that better than their penury Arab neighbors.

  7. Melting pot works only in USA, even i think USA will get soon Central African Republic in belt from Missouri to Virginia... because USA failed with black people which were excluded from working in factories with whites (just little in auto industry of 60es at end of that industry) so they never learned how to work and live... They were included in agriculture, and we see that was enough because today crime rate among rural black is same as for whites... Or Israel could adopt Indian reservations for Arabs and sell them booze there in combination with casinos to empower their family values.

  8. Peoples mass can learn how to live only on fields or in factories... Definition of citizen is person defined by the way how he/she provide for his/her material needs. Today classes are abolished (middle class) and instead of classes we have two jungles, we have jungle of multiculturalism (which does not exist, it only exist one culture which is changed), and have jungle where instead of belonging to one class you can belong to Ron Paul youth or some of 1000 commercial subcultures. American melting pot is abolished also so USA will soon learn beauties of Mexicans (first non melting pot) americans. Soviets were little less delusional, they had just illusions that class will solve all national or religious questions... It works great in every socialist country.

  9. or like the lyrics from "The Jeffersons" TV sitcom show;


    Well we're movin on up,
    To the east side.
    To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
    Movin on up,
    To the east side.
    We finally got a piece of the pie.

    Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
    Beans don't burn on the grill.
    Took a whole lotta tryin',
    Just to get up that hill.
    Now we're up in the big leagues,
    Gettin' our turn at bat.
    As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
    There ain't nothin wrong with that.

    Well we're movin on up,

  10. Let's suppose the God of Abraham is as the Bible claims. We know David (a Jew) killed Goliath (a Philistinian) and the armies of David and Solomon (God's armies) drove out all others. The oldest living book prophesied Israel (God's people) would be returned to their lands. So it has been written so it has been done.

    Esikiel says the land would be laid a barren waste until the return of the people. That small sliver of earth was a sewer hole until it was redeveloped by the Jews. The agricultural development and it's production today is literally a miracle compared to pre-47. Go back and look at arial photos of Israel before 1947 and compare them to today.

    MIT Mike presents the best solution I have ever read and his logic of outcome is sound had that plan been implemented decades ago. In today's world of constant manipulation, it's difficult to forecast any outcome but the same old conflict.

    One thing is certain, the Jews owe nothing to the Arabs who have wished for the death of Israel since the first tribes crossed the river Jordon. And speaking of Jordon, isn't the bulk of 'Palestinian Lands' located in Jordon? How has Jordon skirted it's responsibility for ejection of the 'refugees'?

    How about Jordon repatriates the Palestinians, carves off a 'state' for them, and BINGO they can have their passports and a fresh base to build up another army that Israel can nuke without getting a sunburn.

    I suggest you all read your Bibles if you want to know how this all plays out. If you think you're smarter than God, think again!

    1. What may seem most reasonable, practical, and logical to some, seems to degenerate into " The War of the Roses" in the "real world" when efforts are made in its application. It begs the question for some, what does reasonable mean, obviously different things to different people, as evidenced by continued strife in the region. Seems to be the never ending conflict for sure, unfortunately.

    4. The Arabs of Palestine recognized throughout the 1930s and 1940s that the Jews who were showing up there intended to take over the whole of Palestine. Everyone called the Palestinian Arabs' fears of this "exaggeration" and "conspiracy theory," but THEY WERE RIGHT.

      IT WAS the intend of the zionist leaders to take over Palestine with a Jewish state and either drive away the natives or relegate them to second class status in their own homes.....

      This is why the Mufti of Jerusalem collaborated with the Nazis, the Iraqi Golden Square, revolted against British rule in the revolt of 1936, and fought the zionists at every turn. IT WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE RIGHT.

      It's the Arabs who owe the Jews there NOTHING, not the other way around.

      But that's history. Israel is now a fact and the question is how everyone can proceed in peace...FOREVER.

      The answer is so simple and everyone can be fine as long as they adhere to modern standards of secularism in governance.

      Israel must be a pleuralistic nation and there's no reason it can't be.

      But as for the Islamists and the supremicist Jews who insist that they have their own little cantons where they can practice their religious laws or ethnic supremacy....THEY HAVE TO SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

      Zionism was never about Jewish law before anyway! It was always a secular movement based on Jewish ethnic identity NOT religious faith...most of them were Marxist anway lol.

      I remember him very well. And he always had serious bodyguards around him constantly.

    6. It as zionism which destroyed Jewish culture and life in the Middle East.

      Jews had lived in Iraq for 2,600 years with no problems at all. They dominated trade, finance, the professions and the bureaucracy. THEY WERE ALL OPPOSED TO ZIONISM AND A JEWISH STATE IN PALESTINE.

      But when the Jews in Palestine started pushing out the Arabs there Iraqis began to retaliate against Iraqi Jews. This escalated during the war as it became clear that the Jews in Palestine intended to push out the Arabs altogether. Even though the Iraqi Jews didn't want to live in Palestine and opposed zionism when Israel was declared in 1948 the Iraqi government retaliated against them by confiscating their property and taking away their citizenship. Iraqi Jews had no choice but the immigrate to Palestine although IT'S NOT WHAT THEY WANTED.

      This same pattern was repeated in every Middle Eastern country.

      Jew who had lived everywhere in the Arab world were forced to adopt the zionism and Jewish culture in all these places were ended.

      The zionists were happy with this result.

    7. no no God destroyed those Jews who were living there in muslim lands, because those Jews were Jews who did not respect 1. st order of God, do not have other Gods than me...

God will destroy them, yes they will exist some time but Israel will destroy them, Israel is destroyer of all paganism.

  11. Great post and great news for Palestine! Also interesting though not surprising about Bibi!!! I once again ask you and fellow commentators to look up the documentary called "the gatekeepers" these were ex leaders of shin bet and even after what they called "counter terrorism" they seemed to me anyway understand how things in that region should go forward! I would Also endorse Dr pieczenik's observation that Israel is indeed becoming less important strategically so therefore it should indeed itself recognise that great change is required! Seems to me the world is growing more and more tired about the " holy land" which is a contradiction! The documentary I mentioned is a BBC documentary so I hope people watch! As ever my mumblings are basic and simple and I leave it to the more educated to digress on what I find a fascinating subject

    1. I don't Israel ever had the "strategic importance" people assume. The US has no treaty with them, no forward deployed bases or even material.....

      As far as US military plans are concerned Israel is an empty suit. The Israelis don't want American material and training. They never train with Americans....

      Israel actually is of no strategic value and adds nothing to US military plans.

      I think the major reason why US politicians have come to love Israel in the last fifty years is purely the evangelical Christian vote. Stupid white Christians in America came to view Israel as the old Testiment Israel and that it was the fullfillment of prophecy and they were God's "chosen people"...blah blah blah.....

  12. The number one reason people refuse to enter into a relationship with God is the innate knowledge of their sins and transgressions against God resulting in assumed seperation which could never possibly be repaired. God is too powerful to ever be approached by the shameful sinner.

    In walks Jesus Christ whom willingly takes the sinner's place in judgement, his resurrection validating God in the flesh. He walks amongst the people, gives his final instructions and ascends to Heaven leaving His Holy Spirit behind. He acts as the believers attorney on judgement day and if you know him you get in, for eternity. If you don't, you roast in fire and torment for eternity.

    In lieu of Darwin's unproven theory of evolution for which no evidence exists, this Jesus guy is sounding like the best deal out there. Love, forgiveness and eternal life? Might be a no brainer. After all, our calendar runs by him...

    1. Darwin's "unproven" theory of evolution, for which "no evidence" exists, is what brought you here, Roger, and will continue whether or not you decide to believe in it. You might say the reverse to me. Unlike your deity, however, evolution really doesn't give a damn.

      There is however an existential threat to evolution, or, as you would have it, to God's creation, that Darwinists and Creationists alike should unite in combating..... I explain here: http://wxxxnews.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-war-against-evolution.html

    2. Darwin's evidence was the finches, which are still (drumroll) finches. They did not evolve, they adapted. No physical evidence exists on this planet to demonstrate change of species from one to another. There is no missing link, not cat to dog, hippo to elephant, nor ape to homosapien.

      Your belief in the theory of evolution requires blind faith as there is no scientific evidence present to prove that theory. Putting your faith in man makes you a slave to man. Many scholars have set out to disprove Jesus Christ and many gave up or became believers. He was born on earth 2014 years ago and will return again. He wasn't sent for the righteous, he was sent for the sinners.

    3. I am not a Christian, but that has nothing to do with the fact that evolution through natural selection does not exist and is not possible. Not only is their no examples of any organ or tissue "evolving" by random chance, but there is no way statistically that any of these organs or tissues could have evolved over only a few million years.....

      The human brain has infinitely vast, huge areas of billions of neurons devoted purely to the task of language aquisition and use....

      In humans language is an innate set of traits which are infinitley complex, and the structures in the brain which support it are vast and complicated beyond anything imaginable....

      And yet all this supposedly came into being by "natural selection" and "mutation" and "variation" in only 100,000 years !

      LOL

      That's a fucking joke if ever there was.

      Three hundred thousand years ago primative humans couldn't speak or talk or form symbolic thoughts....

      Then by 100,000 years they were speaking and thinking and talking and forming symbols and syntax.....

      And their brains had grown all these huge areas for abstract thought.....

      In only 100,000 years!

      Dude there's no such thing as "evolution by natural selection."

      SOMETHING is designing and building all this....and it's down to the level of every virus and sea urchin crawling on the bottom of the oceans which humans haven't even discovered yet...and on every other planet in the universe.....

    4. And what is the universe?

      First understand that what you were taught in school that there is "empty space" between the planets and stars is untrue.

      There is no such thing as 'empty space.'

      The distances between large objects in 'space' is a structure. Space itself is a structure, and it may or may not have material in it such as gases, but always is infused with energy of all kinds passing through it everywhere.

      'Non-locality,' or the ability of particles to 'communicate' instantly with other particles distant in the universe is an indication of the characteristics of the structure of space.

      96% of all material in the universe is 'dark mattter' which is unseen to humans....

      "Open the space pod door Hal"

      "Hal....open the space pod door please....."

      And space isn't the perfect vacuum people think it is either....

      The scene in "2001: A Space Odyssey" where an astronaut has to launch himself into an air lock using the air in his space pod to fill it is actually what would have happened.

      There isn't enough real vacuum in space to have evacuated all the air from the air lock before he could have closed the door.

      The air was escaping but not so fast as to have killed him instantly.

    5. Distances in space are not that great either....

      The moon is only 250,000 miles from earth. My car has over 250,000 miles on it and I haven't gone anywhere with it.

      250,000 miles is nothing.

      Any good car accelerating from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds is accelerating at 1 G....

      If you take this modest acceleration and travel at only 1 G for less than one year YOU ARE NOT TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT....

      Getting to the speed of light is well within the technology of simple rockets and we could have been traveling at those speeds decades ago if we wanted.....

      There are many stars that are only 20 or 30 or 40 light years away.

      There are many peices of the planet Mars which are scattered around on the surface of the earth.

      In the past peices of Mars were thrown up into 'space' and eventually found there way to earth and landed here.

      The distances between planets are not that great.

    8. The problem with the Christian conception of sin is that it doesn't have anything to do with what a person does....

      It has only to do with a mythological status that all humans supposedly have condeming them to torment because their ancestor, Adam, disobeyed God.

      The whole reason for the Christ according to Christian doctrine wasn't to "teach" how to be a better person or how not to commit sin.

      The whole point was to provide a BLOOD SACRIFICE to appease God and thereby counter-act the original sin that all humans are supposedly born with because of what their ancestor did.

      This is why and how a person can commit all manner of crimes and sins and if they get absolution from a priest before they die they can still get the benefit of eternal life via the Christ.

      "Christ paid for all our sins."

      It's only about the BLOOD SACRIFICE of God's son just as he asked others in the past to sacrifice their children to appease him.

      And if anyone is a stupid to believe any of that well.....

    9. According to the Christians here in Texas anyone can have eternal life regardless of how bad they are or what they do.....

      I know lawyers, bankers and dentists here who actually believe this ill-logical and non-moral stuff.

      Morality has NOTHING to do with it.

I think MITmichael is suggersting alien intervention rather than natural selection or some religions god. I must just say I am always bewildered by some religious comments from some American folk and I am sure del stead would back me up on this. In the UK even the Archbishop of Canterbury does not talk like this. Jesus this Jesus that the obsession with Armageddon, if I spoke like this in England people would assune I was being sarcastic or I was a fruit and nut case. Where does it come from, as mentioned George Bush spouting religion while bombing the living crap out of any far flung country he felt like. It does not make sense, I appreciate for some reason this a vote winner in Southern States so it might be a posture on his part, but it is still bizarre. You see athletes who are so arrogant they think the creator of the Universe has helped them score a touchdown, or others who think such a being would have a problem with you wanking or wearing particular clothes on Sunday...stop being so silly! Regarding distances in space this is just the local block beyond Proxima Centauri without some new (or old!) drive you are talking generational ships or Robots. Or as Douglas Adams put it 'Space is big. You just will not believe how vastly, hugely, mind-boggingly big it is. I mean you may think it is a long way down the road to the Chemist's shop, but that's just peanuts to space.'

    15. It does not matter, was it aliens, or Satan who was kicked out from heavens, but seems alines were conducting genetical experiments and were giving knowlege to Aztecs, Egypt, Babylon... Satan or those aliens gave ultra precise calendar to Aztecs, and they made real pagan mistake, they started to worship calendar and not creator of giver of calendar, (do not have other Gods than me), so they very soon started human sacrifices and genetical experiments on females by help of aliens so that aliens could survive on planet, that is why we have all those statues of mixing between animals and human which are to scare all human kids as a sign of sickness... Jesus said that all those who scare little one should put stone around their neck and thow them self to river to try save their soul, because that was better than to meet him in when he dies... (pedophiles), that is only time when Jesus is calling to kill someone.

    17. Aliens are involved with changing human DNA, but that's a purely materialistic and scientific program they have....

      The real phenomena of life changing from one form to another using constant changes in their DNA is something operated by the universe itself because the entire universe is a conscious mind of energy moving around in infinitely complex ways to create matter and energy...

      Look at the 'string theory'

      You don't really believe there are little strings vibrating to create a particle of energy with certain properties???

      What the scientists are witnessing is the creation of energy with certain properties arising out of a point AS IF there were a vibrating string there....

      But there is no vibrating string there....

      The energy at that point arises from that point and that's the origin of it.

      It's like consciousness in the brain of an animal...

      It has a point or an attachment which is non-material and therefore it can't be found.....

      But it's obviously there and it's not just a machine or a neuron....a neuron or a machine cannot experience anything. Only an idea can experience anything...and an idea is not material.

      The only thing that appears undistorted in dreams are PEOPLE because people exist in the universe as actually what they are...

      When you are dreaming you see someone you know in your house and he looks exactly like he does in material life, but the house is distorted....

      In reality people actually exist but houses don't actually exist....

      Houses are non-conscious material/energy constructs which don't really exist and therefore the subconscious mind has to find a symbol for it...

    24. "The problem with the Christian conception of sin is that it doesn't have anything to do with what a person does...."

      If you have time, you might enjoy a youtube link to an instructor of mine, who taught Biomedical Ethics, Dr. Jack Provonsha from Loma Linda University. He touches upon this very subject of his dislike of the idea of "original sin", for the very reason you state, and compares and contrasts theological ideas of various well known theologians just about better than anyone I have heard speak on the topic. Give it a whirl if you have time, you might enjoy his analysis if you will.

      He is not one of those "prosperity preachers"... lol like you alluded to earlier.

      Dr. Provonsha was an Adventist, physician, theologian, medical ethicist, and psychologist holding a doctorate degree in 3 of the aforementioned specialties. I loved listening to him lecture. I took his biomedical ethics class to better understand the decisions that would be made when my mother was dying, while in college years ago.

      Hope you get a chance to listen to it sometime. Dr Provonsha appears in the video to have suffered from a mild stroke before the video was made. I believe he was well into his 80's by the year 2011 or so. He was a bright individual, who inspired me while in school.

      Enjoy ! : )

  13. THE AMERICAN - ISRAEL 'STRATEGIC ALLIANCE'

    Doesn't exist. It's completely a myth.

    There is in fact NO intelligence sharing of any kind with Israel.

    When Israel declared independence in 1948 the US recognized it along with the Soviet Union, but when the Arabs attacked it to destroy it the US sent no aid whatsoever, and fully hoped that the Arabs would win and that Israel would be destroyed.

    It was Stalin that saved Israel by sending huge amount of arms and ammunition during the war.

    The Israelis never forgot this.

    In 1952 the Israelis conducted 'operation Suzanna' in Egypt, which was a false flag program of Egyptian Jews working for Israel dressing up like Arabs and seeking to bomb American facilities and kill American diplomats.....

    During the 1950s all interactions between Israel and the CIA had to pass through one office - the CIA office of Counterintelligence so that they could assess the vulnerability of each and every interaction or 'sharing' because it was assumed that sharing anything with Israel was the same as handing intl over to the Russians.

    Israel has always operating its own spies in the US government, and from time to time they have been caught, including Jonathan Pollard, who in the 1980s handed over to the Israelis more valuable intl than any other spy...and then the Israelis sold this data to the Soviet Union....

    The US has NO defense treaties or any joint training or exercises with Israel...but the US DOES have joint training and exercises with Egypt.

    The US forward bases and stores and plans with Egypt and other Arab states....NOT Israel.

    If you listen to American politicians and pundits you would think everything is the opposite of this.....

    The Israelis do not trust the US and continue to think of the US as an adversary nation.

  14. MIT,
    Hearings here re: Uber. It's been in the Globe, front page of the local Metro even.
    Posted onto fb earlier today from someone.
    Uber, the car-share service company, announced yesterday it got more money from venture capitalists this year than any other company, putting its value at around $40 billion -- higher than American Airlines. Yet Uber employs only 1,500 people directly. The rest of its “employees” – the drivers who use their own cars -- take on almost all the cost and risk. In fact (as the New York Times revealed yesterday), Uber demands drivers handle any and all damage claims themselves through their own personal car insurance, even though those insurance companies don’t cover commercial activity. Which means Uber drivers aren’t insured to drive others for money. Which means Uber riders won't collect if there's an accident. So is Uber a $40 billion success story or a dangerous scam?

    2. If I were an unemployed person frozen out by the new economy I'd drive for Uber in a heartbeat.

      The BEST kinds of jobs are the ones skirting the law.

      The most satisfaction I had at any business was the years I owned escort agencies. I did that for eight years and I never once had even one policeman turn up even though they "investigated" me several times. They never bothered me because I knew the laws and they understood they'd be wasting their time when there were so many low hanging fruit for them to target.

      The escort thing was cash paid daily, and the girls would show up needing cash right away and in a day or two they had at least a thousand dollars in their hands. They made about 10k a month working in total safety.

      When I fly into NY I usually take one of the mafia-operated non-licensed "cabs" just because I like the idea of spending my time and money with the people who drive for them and like to keep their business non-legitimate.

      Unless you've been a part of the underground economy you've never lived. It's the best liberation to have cash in your hand the day you made it.

    3. I grew up in Sunday School and am a mom. I would have to become someone I am not to work illegally.

      I am a single female and alone up here and deeply enmeshed with the medical system. To cut away ftom that as a type 1 diabetic since aged two years, almost fifty years, is easier said than done. My income must be reported or one phone call from one of these ugly townie bullh women up here who are all related to the judges...this is fact, not speculation. Nepotistic New England.

      What city could I go to and drive Uber and make enough tonpay for the car and save some money until I ran out of insulin and got sick and had to see a doctor? I used to own a 1999 Cab Yellow VW GTI in Dallas. I would pick people up waiting for cabs and drive them for no charge sometimes. That was so cool to do. I used to joke about taking the drunken doctors from Deep Ellum clubs back to their apartments near UTSW....

  15. It wouldn't surprise me in light of the aforementioned if some law is passed in the very near future, making Uber drivers, employees of Uber, for the aforementioned liability reasons, and or probable worker's comp issues.

    I would be surprised if Uber riders "couldn't collect" FROM THE DRIVER. I believe the riders will try to collect, maybe not from the insurance carrier (fraud will vitiate the insurance contract probably), if a driver induced the carrier to insure them by fraud, by claiming that the vehicle was for personal use only.
    I also believe that if you are considered a "common carrier", like planes, trains, and buses, then there is probably strict liability in carrying paying passengers, so you better check with an attorney in your area on these important issues, if I say so myself SouthernBelle.

    But good luck in your business venture, it sounds exciting.

    2. Hey Mike, when GWB, Slick Willy and Obummer say God Bless America, they are paying tribute to Lucifer, their god. Never have you, or will you, ever hear them or their ilk speak of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. You assume too much about Christians Michael (named from the archangel). Jesus said, many will come in my name and you will know them by their fruits. Wolves in sheep's clothing abound.

      The gang who run this show (planet earth) are anti-Christ. Their god Lucifer, Rah, Satan, et all; is the angel of light cast out of Heaven with 1/3 the angels. Illuminati means enlightened, and they are very enlightened by all that Lucifer provides in knowledge and power. The same knowedge he offered Eve and Adam. Remember when Lucifer offered Jesus the power to preside over all the kingdoms? He still has that power today as is evident by the state of global commerce and politics. None that we talk about is said in positive terms is it?

      The apostle Paul talked about not being led astray from a relationship in Jesus based on the sins you see other 'believers' commit. The relationship is a personal one from a personal choice to allow the Holy Spirit access into ones self. That small voice in your head commonly referred to as your conscience gets louder. It has nothing to do with what the people in the building called a church are doing. It has to do with changed hearts through repentance of sins.

      Last fact - the only time Jesus ever lost his cool and snapped was in the temple on the money changers/bankers. I know you have enough sense to process the significance of that act given todays monotheistic form of global fiat currency. Don't be fooled Mike, those people you mention are not serving Christ, he's not allowed in their meetings.

    3. Roger Dat,

      You are actually correct about which God people like George W. Bush, Clinton and Obama believe in.

      I don't think they are aware of it, and they don't actually pray to lucifer or attend illuminati rituals like Alex Jones falsely claims...

      But the idea they pursue and love is the idea of destruction of everything valuable and innocent because their personalities are fractured from their pathological souls coupled with childhood rejections and traumas...

      Everything they do, every act, even when they think they are doing something positive like helping AIDS patents in Africa...

      Everything they do results in innocent people suffering and bringing misery to the earth.

      "You will be the one who rapes my wife and then I will catch up with you later and cut off your balls..."

      And so on and so forth....

      It's the real drama of life on planet earth and if the aliens who know about all this told humans what's really going on it would spoil the whole thing because humans think they are randoming or 'chosing' their behaviors...

    5. Each person's fate is decided before they are born. It's what they agreed to do.

      But translating this awareness into the physical brain is a different story.

      But enough of this awareness about at least what's going to happen to the individual in the future bleeds into the subconscious mind and effects behavior so that people are heavily influeneced by it....

      People do know if and when they are going to die, or have such huge life events, and they act on this whether they are aware of it or not....

      I believe that people who commit suicide are often acting on what they see....

      People are borne and die every day and everyone dies. Each life has a different purpose and a different path.

      It's difficult when a child or young person dies, but I believe it was what was supposed to happen. It was their choice for whatever reason and now they're doing whatever else they are seeking to do.

I have been to Haiti, Mexico...seen what you have seen AND THAT IS WHY I SURVIVED AND DIDN'T CRYBABY UNTIL THE OSTEONECROSIS SET INTO THE BONE and I could not walk to the subway one night after work. I was on crutches on ice alone in beantown. You have lived here and Texas and I falsely assumed you knew more about Ocare than you do. I have lived it and with a medical anthropologist and read every version.

      I am only stuck in this housing temporarily and am not permanently disabled.

      You of all people to lecture about me posting about this is laughable. I guess I should have thrown in some porn or hate speech. My MIT men here, Korean and Turkish are nothing like you are. You sound like a libertard Texan the way you have posted to me.

      I DO NOT OWN A CAR. I AM NOT GOING TO BUY A CAR VIA UBER UNTIL I RESEARCH OUT THE INSURANCE LIABILITY ISSUE. DUH.

      Insulin should not cost $187 for one vial of Humalog. If you boys cannot find anyone else to bitch at than me right now, you must be in a worse spot than I.

  23. So if I understand this correctly, let me just paraphrase, you are saying that Djabuti, was about the J' bootay and not about the J'booti.

    I don't get the attraction, but I'm not willing to spend my life worrying about someone who likes to "putt from the ruff"as they say.

  24. Well, it could be worse Southern Belle, you could have what I have "Squeaky Ball Joints", well not me but my car thank goodness. But there is a few grand, for naught. And do you think that the car manufacturer places a port to lubricate the "balls"? Nope, just gotta replace them. I guess they don't want customers with greasy balls, but it sure would have been a whole lot less expensive.

    I want Obama to come out with " auto-care", where you stand in line forever waiting for new balls. Never mind the ones you've got are worn out and dragging, nope, gotta wait for replacements when they get around to it.

    I mean if we have mandatory auto insurance, then why not go ALL the way and make auto repair insurance mandatory as well?

    We can have a one party, centralized biller, standardization of care for the rich and poor, old and young alike, and a vacuous complaint department, much like the VA system, that served our military so well in their time of need.

    We will fine people who don't get mandatory "Auto-Care" insurance, and that way, we will de-incentivize, "squeaky balls".

    We will hire 1000's of IRS agents to collect these fee's, but won't increase the number of doctors, I mean mechanics to service these clients with "squeaky balls", all while millions of customers join the "auto-care" insurance plan.

    And we will be lectured by the Camel smoking Obama, and the sun tan addict Mr. Boehner, on its benefits. Puff Puff.

    Dr. P can you tell we are ready for a new post? ; )

    I sound like Oliver Twist.... " I want more sir " lol !

  25. When I read about the US healthcare system I am not a little confused. Despite what Alex has said about our Socialist healthcare system on this subject he is misinformed. If I see a Dr or a Psychiatrist or any medical pro, it is free, accident and emergency is free. My Dad was once hit by a Train and was in Hospital for 6 months followed by convalescence you guessed it ...free. If I have a prescription for any drug it costs £8 (about $12), if you have a baby you are seen mainly by a Midwife (because it is supposed to be natural not a Dr Fest) it is free.It is so good we have 'health tourists' who fly in just to have their baby, then go home! As you have one of the richest countries in the World it cannot be beyond the wit of your leaders to come up with something better, rather than if you have a credit card or not. In the UK not matter if you were a Billionaire or a Hobo if you were run over you would get taken to the same Hospital. In fact some state Hospitals are better than the expensive private ones. I am very grateful to the State and the NHS as one of my sons has Special needs and frankly they could not be more helpful financially, medically and psychologically to him and me. As an outsider my friends, I think you are all being Royally shafted!

    1. Alex and his type tremble with fear once I get hold of them for my verbal reality check with my near fatal medical woes in their fair state. I grew up elsewhere.

      The iatrogenic error due to covert rationing in Dallas, while I was lucky enough to have insurance was due to covert rationing. Two of their own staff admitted it straight up as they felt guilty.

      I had part of my face eaten off by actinomycosis after a root canal tooth failed in Dallas. The first emergency clinic oral surgeon said a CT was needed and that I needed to be admitted. That decision was trumped by her waspy, projectile bellied baby boomer male superior who cancelled the CT and let some resident muck around with the severe infection. I am lucky I didn't die from their neglect and they made a scar of scars. I used to very pretty. I camoflouge it best I can. I wish I could go to Paris and see if they could make it aesthetically better, lol. French women tell me to go there as they don't leave scars like we do here.

      And as crappy as my insurance was I had insurance there! At follow up some uppity white frat boy who had likely never broken a sweat outside of a tennis game tell me In the midst of the trauma, that "if I didn't like the healthcare in this country, to leave the country!!!" I told him they don't take immigrants like we do!

      Once here we ordered the medical records and they were very altered and dishonest. Winning a med mal almost impossible, especially for this type of rare thing. I was being treated here for the entire two years that Texas requires you sue by.

      I have talents and hope I can move forward from here. I didn't need validation from you here, but I did appreciate your post.

      This Remote Area Medical brief video is worth a watch as it explains the gaps in Ocare.

  26. Sorry you're having a rough time out there Southern Belle, I lost a wonderful mentor from diabetes and osteomyelitis, also when I was in college many years ago. Monitor your blood sugars religiously, and try your best to keep your sugar levels in check. Also when you feel better, try to make walking part of your regular exercise protocol, (with your doctors blessings), it will most likely significantly improve your chances of avoiding a heart attack.

    My friend Bert, was a great inspiration as an african american physician, (graduating medical school in the South in the 1950's if you can imagine), and as a civil rights leader of the 1960's.

    Over his desk ( he had an ob/gyn practice in Pasadena, Ca.), was a fantastic picture of him and Martin Luther King.

    However what made Bert bigger than life to me was his magnanimous personality. He was charitable to his alma mater and always tried to help the next generation of up and coming doctors while they were just "starving students".

    Keep fighting the good fight there Southern Belle, and don't give up.

    1. I have a very high arched ballet pointe foot that stress fractured a sesamoid once I moved to Boston (where the access to healthcare for working people is not impossible to afford on a modest income).

      I pounded the concrete and stood on my feet, with Dansko clogs, custom made orthotics in them, and taping my feet like a marathon runner.

      My break had nada to do with the type 1. I take t3 and my feet are pink and I feel every toe. Never had a need for laser in my retinas and perfect kidney function. MGH and Mass Eye and Ear retinologist call my health "a miracle".

      My nemesis is the cost of healthcare in the US, with or without insurance, and povery wages. I was denied access to healthcare for graduate school due to pre-existing condition exclusion of care.

      Poverty wages leave me walking when my high arch demands driving.

      Medical Nemesis: The Expropriation of Health by Ivan Illich is a good read. It is free on archive.org

      Thanks for your encouragement.
