Privatize! Privatize! Privatize! Trump Picks Dr. Oz to Privatize Medicare and Medicaid
by Scott Creighton
Donald Trump has picked TV celebrity Dr. Oz to head up the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in spite of the fact that he 1. has no experience running such a large agency of any kind and 2. he was recently busted shilling a fake weight loss program to his fans.
Of course, to Dr. Oz, that means TIME TO PRIVATIZE those effective programs so BIG BUSINESS can make some glorious money!
'Dr. Oz has weighed in on Medicare policy, helping to write a 2020 opinion column in Forbes arguing for a universal health coverage system, in which every American not covered by Medicaid would be enrolled in a private Medicare Advantage plan. The coverage expansion, the column said, would be financed by an “affordable 20 percent payroll tax,” and would eliminate employer health coverage and the government Medicare program.
That strategy would be far out of the mainstream of conservative health policy. In 2019, Vice President Kamala Harris, then a candidate for president, proposed a version of a “Medicare for all” plan with similarities to Dr. Oz’s 2020 idea. Instead of replacing private coverage with a government-run system, as some of her Democratic rivals had done, Ms. Harris called for allowing people to choose between a government Medicare program and plans modeled on Medicare Advantage.'

Meryl Nass Says There are Ways to Get ALL of Trump's Neocon Zionists Appointed WITHOUT Approval
by Scott Creighton
Hey don't worry folks. I know Donald Trump's appointees are kinda tainted with that whole 'neoliberal/neocon/Messianic Zionist/warmongering trash' smear and some (if not most) will have a hard time being approved by the Senate for that very reason (those appointments that need approval)
But have no fear, Meryl Nass has it all figured out. Screw the constitution, they can just cheese it and all those neocon Zionist warmongers she likes will come to power just like Trump promised.

Ayman Odeh's Courageous Speech in Knesset
by Scott Creighton
from Ayman Odeh
'The full speech that Speaker of the Knesset did not allow me to complete'
Ayman Odeh is a a lawyer and a member of Hadash party. He is a Muslim Arab. Hadash is a socialist party which was the first to openly support a two-state solution in the Knesset. They also advocate for complete removal of settlements in the West Bank.
'Israel's internal intelligence agency, the Shin Bet, has interrogated Odeh many times in the past. He said in an interview to The New Yorker: "I was called three more times by the Shin Bet. They never hit me. But they succeeded in two things. I isolated myself from my friends—I became much more introverted. And I had the sense the Shin Bet was watching me no matter where I went. When I went to the bus station, and I saw some guy in sunglasses, I just assumed he was Shin Bet."
A right-wing activist was arrested in February 2016 for making death threats against Odeh' Wiki
This man knows what price will be extracted from him for making these honest and passionate statements in public about the genocide and Netanyahu. Still, he did it.
We don't have a single politician or congress critter who would ever be so honest and honorable. Not one. Certainly not one who has already been targeted for attack and drilled by the likes of Shin Bet.
I tip my hat to Ayman Odeh for putting his own life at risk in the hopes of saving the lives of children in Gaza.
The world needs more like him.
