Like common bandits, muslims are after your property

     The koran instructs muslims to spread its teachings through violence.  When a foreign people are conquered, it says to issue an ultimatum that each of the newly subjugated individuals must pay a "head tax"--defined as the handing over of all of one's property--or, the dissenters will die by the sword.  And, even if one does comply with this, the muslims may kill you anyway.

This is a rather enlightening glimpse into the motivation of many muslims.  Are they really all misguided fanatics?  Or, do they have a very real material goal, akin to that of the common bandit?

I find it interesting that upon meeting muslims for the first time, they exhibit an immense generosity.  This can lull the off-guard non-believer, and warm one towards islam.  After all, why not give away 1%, when you are going to get 100% back?

Another point on this topic, that is rarely discussed, is the history of oil in the Middle East.  It was Western oil companies that discovered, bought, and developed the original oil properties in the region.  In most cases, they were nationalized by the heavily islamic governments that took a position that they were going to hold them--a more resolute one than the Western countries' will to restore the properties to their rightful owners.

So, as you can see, as crazy as islam is, there is a material payoff when the muslims succeed.

A Capitalism Prize Could Cure Ebola

     The growing Ebola outbreak in America is very serious--not only because it is usually deadly and contagious--but also, because there are only a couple of known treatments with doses in extremely low supply.  One of the leading ones, known as "ZMapp", can take months to create--time which Americans likely do not have.

How did a catastrophic disease that has been known about since 1976, evade the medical industry's attention--when the economic demand for treatment could not have escaped Pharma's imagination of the profits that could be capitalized on, if there were millions of doses stored and ready to be sold?

Government Health Care is to blame.  True: in a Capitalist system, pharmaceutical companies would have the freedom to set prices for their products as they so choose.  But, that is what drives the cures to be in existence in the first place.  Under Government Health Care, there is shoddy treatment in very limited supply--so, if one doesn't want to spend a lot to save one's life, one is forced to not have the option of a big purchase (as well as a long life).

Ebola is a crisis--and, it's just going to get worse.  While Obama runs around with his guys in body suits, quarantining and killing off the infected population, I propose a market-based solution.  There should be a prize put forth in America in order to cure the disease--that being a Congressional law that the American medical company that cures the most Ebola-infected Americans, through the sale of its products to private individuals and businesses, will be granted the following charter:

The government of the United States of America hereby recognizes a Separation of State from Economics of the awarded Company in the form of a charter of Capitalism--defined as government being prohibited from compelling the awarded Company: to pay taxes, adhere to regulations, and have government force initiated against it in any physical way--for at least the next 100 years.

That, individuals of planet Earth, is how one cures the Ebola epidemic.

The Limitations of Freedom of Religion

     The Bill of Rights guarantees Freedom of Religion.  However, this license to be left alone, to believe what one wants, is dependent upon the legality of the rest of one's actions.  To illustrate the contrary, intrinsic philosophy, explore the following example:

Suppose an individual decided to subscribe to a new "religion" called "malsi".  This religion believes that it is God's will that malsians capture, torture, and then behead all government workers and judges in the judicial branch of government where one lives.  Only when the last person in the judiciary is "cleansed" will the malsians be able to go to a heavenly paradise.

Obviously, if this set of beliefs is ruled intrinsically sacred because of the American Constitution, then this country, and especially its judiciary, are in for a horrific future.  But, in reason it is not.  Why is that?

To be free to exercise one's Individual Rights is dependent upon one's respect for the Individual Rights of everyone else.  If a known religion, such as "malsi", notoriously advocates a threat towards the freedom and safety of individuals, then judicially preemptive measures may be warranted--especially in war-time.

Finally, pointing out that Freedom of Religion is not intrinsically absolute, in law, does not give Congress the mandate to declare that Right null and void.  Freedom of Religion still stands even if one prosecutes on the grounds that a religion is advocating threats to innocent individuals.  The element of war-time military association acts to magnify the perceived level of threats that would otherwise be considered as less than they are.

The American Solution: Ban islam

     Whereas islam is a criminal code--not a religion.  And, considering that America is at war with islam, I propose the following policy:

Require that each domestic, America-residing muslim denounce islam, or, one will:

(1) lose all of one's property like islam teaches muslims to do to non-muslims.

And,

(2) lose one's liberty by either being imprisoned or exiled from The United States of America, according to our government's discretion.

For those Americans who think that my proposal is too harsh, I remind you that this is war-time.  And, after all, to avoid the consequences, all a muslim has to do is to say one denounces islam.

The Threat of Climate Same

     At first, the environmental threat was "global warming".  Then that was debunked; and it became "global cooling".  But, that didn't last long.  So now, the Earth is undergoing deadly "climate change".  However, I contend that this may be statistically insignificant, and that the true threat is actually something entirely different from what the environmentalists have yet named.  I call this danger: "climate same".

As a former ecology major, before I discovered Objectivism, I know a lot about the science of the Earth.  Every species is affected by the environment--as evolution selects the survival of future offspring.  During times of static ecological change there are many fewer environmental forces to propel evolution.  Man evolved to be what the species is because of evolution.  If greater evolutionary progress is to continue, quickly, the Earth's climate must undergo rapid climate change.  On the other hand, the biggest threat to this human evolution is "climate same"--or, very little environmental alteration.

Now, I'm not entirely certain that what the Earth is experiencing, currently, is "climate same".  But, environmentalists have been wrong so many times in the past that it is very possible that there is no climate change occurring beyond the expected norm without Man.  Since, the philosophical, biological reasoning exploring the danger of widespread climate same holds, the environmentalists may have finally found their true pariah.  After all, if you think about it, there's nowhere left to go.  And fundamentally, the environmentalist philosophy, that identifies, as an axiom, that human beings must be the species that is destroyed--whether the threat is an environment that is: up, down, bipolar, or catatonic, is maintained by clinging to its conclusion that Man and his economic production are to be annihilated.  Perhaps, this innate nihilism in the anti-Man, environmentalist philosophy is what appeals to Obama so much--as can be seen so vividly in current news.

Not unless there's enough life for everyone?

     As ObamaCare regulations, taxes, and unconstitutionalities progressively pile onto what could have been a private medicine market, the single greatest attribute of United States medicine for foreigners is going extinct.  It used to be that men, women and children of some means, all around the world, could fly to American hospitals to be treated for otherwise inaccessible or incurable ailments.  Due to the heavy socialist health care environments of European medicine (the second best to the U.S.) there really was nowhere else individuals could go to have a chance against the killer diseases of Man.

But, Obama is changing all this.  His egalitarian approach to...everything!...will make sure that no American, (and, along with that any European, Australian, Asian, African, Latin American...etc.), will be able to get more than one's "fair share".  In my analysis of his philosophy, I summarize Obama's attitude by the slogan, "Not unless there's enough life for everyone."

Those defenders of ObamaCare have sophisticated arguments that are indeed formidable.  After all, why should John be able to live when James cannot?  It's not fair that John has the money and life if James has neither.  So, John's money and life must be taken by government.  And, though James will soon die, anyway, at least he gets his "fair life share".

Now, this applies in lesser cases of medicine, as well.  For example, why should Page get to see a doctor for a broken arm when Gina got to the hospital first?  Just because Page has more money why should that decide?  Gina's arm has been broken longer.  She has suffered more.  And who is this doctor to try to make more money by seeing Page, anyway?

You may claim that these scenarios can be accommodated and absorbed because they belong to some special kind of realm called "catastrophic health care".  But, what about the common cold?  Joey has been out of school for a week.  His mom applied at the hospital two days in.  Suzy just got it.  Her mom is frantic--claiming that she got it from Joey because Suzy sits right behind him in homeroom.  But, Joey's first.  Just because Ellie went into a coma from whatever it is, how does the state know that Suzy will too?  Should Suzy's mom be able to buy off the medical establishment by mortgaging the house?  It's not fair!

Thus we have ObamaCare and it's philosophy of, "Not unless there's enough life for everyone."

islam is not a religion.  It's a criminal code.

     Here in this great country, America upholds Freedom of Religion.  However, there are other Rights that apply that must not be violated if the government is going to leave one alone.  Among these are the Right to One's Own Life, the Right to One's Own Liberty, the Right to One's Own Property, and the Right to Pursue One's Own Rational Happiness.

So, when it comes to religion and how it relates to the law, it must be asked what the religion in question advocates.  To analyze one example, pick islam.  The koran preaches: death to non-muslims (violating the Right to One's Own Life), political taboos and government punishments against the exercising of non-muslim activities (violating the Right to One's Own Liberty), the coercive extortion of all of a non-muslim's property upon religious conquest (violating the Right to One's Own Property), and the subjection of all to sharia law (violating the Right to Pursue One's Own Rational Happiness).

As you can see, islam is not a religion in the sense that the Founding Fathers were referring to one in the Constitution.  Anyone can buy a koran and see what kind of vice is spewed from its pages, and the crimes that are encouraged.  Indeed, how can common sense conclude that a mandate to: murder, capture, steal and oppress Americans be held sacred by our laws?

islam is not a religion.  It's a criminal code.

Governor Rick Perry Innocent.  Obama Guilty.

     Ignore what the government-subsidized "mainstream" media is saying about the charges towards Texas Governor Rick Perry.  Read the actual judicial document.  All Perry did was to state his political requirements for not vetoing what the gubernatorial office empowers him to have the option of doing.

Now look at what Obama has been doing these last several years.  He usually doesn't threaten to veto at all.  He just conjures "executive orders" to invent "laws" and other government actions he favors.

And, witness the media!  The "indictment" was strategically created on a Friday at 5:30 PM--when it would be too late for most of talk radio to comment.  Considering that almost no one watches what really isn't mainstream media, anymore, doesn't anyone stop to ask how they can physically keep going?  They must be getting our money through government taxes or inflationary printing or something.

I sold my TV in 2009.  While depriving the corrupt media of our viewership won't necessarily stop funneled payments to the criminal media rackets in the shadows, it does go a long way towards avoiding much of the propaganda pollution out there.

This latest assault by the Obama-media fascist and socialist complex should not be treated by Tea Party and Republican Patriots as an issue that calls for strictly defensive maneuvers.  Take it to Obama and the "mainstream" media sources!

Read RooseveltCare to End Social Security

     I have finished the book, RooseveltCare: How Social Security is Sabotaging the Land of Self-Reliance, written by Objectivist, Don Watkins.

Before reading it, I didn't know that much about the Social Security system.  The book explains how the entire bureaucracy is one big Ponzi scheme--where government takes from the young and gives to the old with false promises to the wary that by the time those younger Americans become old, there will be plenty of future generations able and willing to finance them.

But, Watkins takes his expose deeper than a typical nightmare revealing of a system of vice.  He explores the morality of those who support and oppose what has become the status quo.

My favorite part of his book is the first chapter which enlightens the reader about the historical moral virtue of most Americans before 1934.

"Typically, elderly Americans continued to support themselves through productive work until the end of their lives.  This was seldom a tragic necessity.  Most did not want to retire.  They took pride and found meaning in their work.  The prospect of spending their final years sitting at home without purpose or aim was hardly enticing." (p.19)

The one part of Watkins' philosophy that I don't know whether I agree with, is his argument that Objectivists who have lost large amounts of money from Social Security taxes over the years, should accept Social Security in "restitution".  This conflicts with my personal "amendment" to the Objectivist philosophy--that being having an ethic of trying to "avoid socialism".

About fifteen years ago, I received a check in the mail from some kind of social service government organization for about $1,500.  At the time, I thought I would cash it and try to send the money to Tom Monaghan, the self-made billionaire who built Domino's Pizza.  I had second thoughts because I didn't think he would accept the money and it would be too awkward to approach him with it.  But, then I thought that I could find a more just way to reconcile its ownership than by sending it back to the government.  So, I put it into an independent CD at the bank--where it has sat collecting interest every month, to this day.  Perhaps, accepting money that has been in the Social Security system would have greater restitution, if one returned it to a billionaire who is open to the idea--maybe Bill Gates?

RooseveltCare is probably the best book on Social Security ever written.  I agree with almost all of it--my only reservation being that it could have motivated the reader more to fight for a speedy repeal.

Opting Out of "Entitlements"

     I am currently reading Don Watkins' book, RooseveltCare: How Social Security is Sabotaging the Land of Self-Reliance.  So far, I'm only halfway through it; but a brilliant idea occurred to me today.

Social Security and other "entitlements" are viewed by the majority of the uninformed public as a good deal--or, at least, a lock-box that will return what was taken during old age or other emergencies.  While there are a lot of people who realize that they will not receive back as much as was taken, few realize that, for many, (especially the young), they will be returned nothing at all.

So, this being the case, why doesn't America test the claims of the "entitlement statists"?  I propose that a precedent be set that each American have the legal right to opt out of all future "entitlement" reimbursement and payments from government of every kind.  At the same time, no future: social security taxes, medicare taxes, and new kinds of "future reimbursement" taxation will be charged against any of these "entitlement self-abolitionists".

It is a grave mistake to try to solve the "entitlement" crisis by focusing on those who were stupid enough to believe that government will solve their problem of future self-maintenance.  Instead, I stand for the justice of thinking about the young generations who are innocent enough to deserve to not lose their capital--which would otherwise go to feed those who fed the parasites who started the whole, damn scheme by accepting it.

What would John Kerry have done in an American war?

     America has been fighting terrorists since 2001.  Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, finally has the opportunity to go into Gaza and wipe out the organizations there that threaten it.  So here comes Secretary of State John Kerry--pressuring Israel for a cease fire.  To illustrate how absurd this diplomatic move is, allow me to draw a few hypothetical analogies to past American wars:

(1) What would have happened if upon crossing the Delaware, George Washington was approached by John Kerry who sought to broker a peace in order for the Colonials and Hessians to militarily disarm and celebrate Christmas together?

(2) What would have happened if as Robert E. Lee's army ventured into Pennsylvania, south of Gettysburg, John Kerry obtained an agreement that the forces of the North and South would not engage?

(3) What would have happened if as the transports carrying Allied troops landed on Normandy, they received a call not to advance because John Kerry had negotiated a cease fire with the Nazis?

It is my impression that Kerry does not understand war and thinks that his position compels him to do some kind of diplomatic thing--whatever that entails.  Ayn Rand wrote about the destructiveness of those who aspire to "unearned greatness".  John Kerry fits this model.

Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) Reading List

     Over the last few years, I have read three books about the pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly.  The following is a list of which investors and employees may want to take note:

(1) Eli Lilly: A Life, 1885-1977
-by James H. Madison (269 pages)

This is a book about the life and work of the Eli Lilly who was the grandson of the founding Colonel Eli Lilly who started the company.  It tells of how he led the company in the twentieth century--continuing to build it and facilitate its prosperity.

(2) All In A Century: The First 100 Years of Eli Lilly and Company
-by E. J. Kahn, Jr. (198 pages)

This is an older book that may be hard to find.  It was written around 1975--living up to its title of tracing the hundred years spanning the success of the company up until its publication.

(3) Eli Lilly
-by Jesse Russell and Ronald Cohn (86 pages)

While more of a booklet than a lengthy book, this publication focuses as much on the state of Indiana as on Eli Lilly & Co.  Being the biggest corporation based in Indiana, Eli Lilly and its place of residence have a significant effect upon each other.  Read Eli Lilly for a more fact-based accounting of the company, as well as unique information on its history and that of Indiana.

A Solution to the Illegal Immigration Impasse

     With Obama declaring that Central Americans will be given charity by the U.S. government and not be deported, a flood of illegal immigrants are crossing our southern border.

The politicians that are promoting this have one or two motives.  There is Obama's primary one--that being his ideologically driven multiculturalism.  However, most of the other politicians possess a different motive.

If Democrats can communicate that all of the "free stuff" (which is extorted from you and I) was made possible by the Democrat Party then they will get more votes when the immigrants are finally able to elect government officials.  This is the end goal of most of these politicians--the ones who don't have an ulterior motive to join Obama in his multiculturalist push.

But, why go to so much trouble to accommodate Central Americans and acclimate them to our language, economy, and democratic system?

There is growing opposition to Obama's manufactured burden that he is unloading upon us.  Most of the Republicans and Tea Party members want to stop the illegal immigration to secure America's border and fend off crime, terrorism and disease.

This is my idea:  Since America is waking up to the disaster of promising illegals a social service feeding trough north of the border, and some non-patriotic Republican politicians are considering the irrational position of trying to siphon off some of the future Democrat votes, why not give Central Americans the vote?

It could work like this:  Turn off all hope of social services for illegals, push back the hoards that have already punched through, and secure the border against threats to U.S. security.  Then, every two years, polling places could be set up throughout all of Central America to cast votes that will compete with northerly American ones to elect Congress and the President when candidates for those offices are eligible for election.

You may think I am joking in this blog--but, it's a much less painful and more practical way to accomplish what the Democrat Party is trying to do right now.

Only Vote for Candidates Who Pledge to Impeach Obama

     Obama has long since crossed the line into moral illegitimacy--even if he hadn't been born in Kenya.  What I couldn't understand in the last Congressional election was the lack of platform pledges to impeach him.

Demand that your prospective candidates promise to impeach Obama.  In fact, don't vote for anyone who doesn't--be they Republican or Tea Party members.

Even if America is spared only two years of fundamental destruction--or, just one--it will make a big difference to our lives, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness.

History Shines Optimistic Hope on America

     Back in the Middle Ages, tyrants ruled at the expense of the oppressed, prostrate peasants who were sentenced to work from sun up to sun down--in order to barely get by.  How did Europe, and especially England, result in the Industrial Revolution and Capitalism despite the oppression of the dictators?

I drive my car at work, and like to listen to Objectivist classes.  One course is The History of England by Andrew Lewis.  It tells of the violent invasions and bloody wars from tyrants raging across that island.  A major development that led to Capitalism was the success of the attempts of the individual people to limit the power of the king.

Fast-forward to America, today.  Obama is declaring himself a "king".  If history is any indication, Americans still have a chance to bring about the government's recognition of their Individual Rights and Capitalist system.  But, along with an improved philosophy, it hinges on Individual Patriots' ability to limit the power of the "king".

What will you do?

A Sweet Victory in Troubled Times

     The Bloomberg ban on large soft drinks in New York City has been summarily defeated.  I am happy to report that I had a hand in that victory--as can be seen by the poem that I posted about a year ago.  This success is a telling reminder that if the forces for freedom and justice keep fighting, America will be able to pull itself out of its statist dive.  The following is an encore presentation of my prose:


The Crossing
by Paul Wharton

Gather around the lunch table to hear a story of your past
about a dictator's encroachment of your rights that did not last.
Two terms he served, by limited law--but, that was the most allowed.
Bloomberg's three it was?  Like to The Kenyan, Obama, you have bowed.

Tax money burden of the sick?  We couldn't just refrain from force.
So, Michael claims it is good health care cracking down upon a source.
If its more state medicine we want, then Bloomberg is a wizard;
but, most love liberty and see a freedom guzzling gizzard.

The regulatory rooster crows that his nanny rule is law,
shrinking down the cup of Coke you enjoy with a scratch of his paw.
"Arbitrary and capricious" a judge unfurls a flag of old
that brings to mind Vanderbilt's crossing through the water--tall and bold.

Coca-Cola cries that from Michael, New York City must be free!
When the tallied votes are dismissed--the ones that say the mayor's he.
Like Rush pointed out, "portion control" indulgence is out of line
when a power-thirsty "mayor" thinks his term limits are not fine.

But, the battle rages still; and you have the hero's choice to tell
your children of the time, when you bought the Big Cup Coke had to sell.
The black marketeers are already pushing off from Jersey banks
with Big Cups to smuggle trade and profit into the rebel ranks.

Bloomberg says the danger is great.  To you it is a deadly fact
that state force will descend upon those who defy The Sugar Act.
But, I only ask that you stand and resist a few precious weeks
in doing the opposite of what prohibition says and seeks.

Is it irrational to go to war and risk one's cherished life,
or less so, as one gains a little weight in your home with your wife?
If there is to be enforcement or judicial prosecution,
sue Bloomberg for wrecking one's diet during the revolution.

An IRS Individual's Punishment

     Considering that what IRS individuals do is extort other individuals' money and then shift it around among those who didn't produce it, monetary "retribution" from IRS coffers to taxed individuals or taxed business owners that exceed the money extorted from those same, specific individuals is not justice.

A moral punishment for each IRS position holder who is guilty of a crime--if it isn't prison time--would be a sentence of operating in a legitimate government position or performing private sector work in which a large percentage of the earnings or wages are garnished and returned to those who were taxed enough to still have ones' rights to it.

The Tea Party Patriot's Revenge

     IRS officials used a tax code to selectively target political enemies in violation of morality and the law.  In my view, Tea Party Patriots should strike back by becoming a civilian collection force for justice.  The purpose of this blog is to arm those individual freedom fighters with script segments to guide their calls.

Tea Party Patriot:
"Are you aware that the IRS is an illegitimate form of government that doesn't exist in a moral country?"

"This is a collection call to reclaim the extortions that were handed to you in your IRS position."..."You haven't spent any of that money, have you?"..."Are you aware that you owe it all back and may be charged a penalty according to moral law?"

"Are you aware that judicial evasion is a federal crime?"..."...and that it is punishable with time in prison and/or heavy fines?"

What America needs are legions of individual Tea Party Patriots bombarding IRS individuals with calls in a fight in which the ultimate purpose is to abolish income taxes in this great country.

Would America be better off if Obama was the Ayatollah of Iran?

     Despite all of the media propaganda, most Americans know by now that Obama wants to destroy America.  He doesn't like this country and has a tenacious drive to undermine it in any way he can.

What I want to explore in this blog is the question: "Would America be better off if Obama was the Ayatollah of Iran?"

Normally, a leader is more valuable with us than in charge of an enemy state.  However, in the case of Obama, the degree of his government power is the degree to which he will do us harm.  As the Ayatollah of Iran, Obama would have the helm of the Iranian military.  But, that force is small.  If Obama is recognized as the American Commander-in-Chief, he has great power at his disposal--the only real limit being the necessity to shroud most of his actions and intentions in order to attempt to get away with facilitating its self-destruction.

Better to see Obama's drive to fundamentally destroy the United States of America, crippled, as a weak enemy, than a hoodwinking, ticking time-bomb in the Oval Office.

Obama's "Executive Orders" Never Happened

     Every time Obama declares legislation in the form of a self-proclaimed "executive order", Americans seem to get disheartened and depressed about the tyranny that resides in Washington.  But, since he has no legislation creating power, I don't see why we don't just ignore his nihilistic rants.

Considering that there is no "executive order" legislation, disregard these figments of Obama's imagination.  He has made no law.  Continue your life and career as if his desires to destroy this great country had never existed.

An Overlooked Consequence of a Higher Minimum Wage

     The targeting of McDonald's and other fast food restaurants by socialists and unions to try to force a higher minimum wage is a disaster, economically.  If successful, not only will many jobs be lost, but the moral liberty to contract to sell one's labor to a business for a freely agreed to price will be further subverted.

It seems that a low-end worker, who supports state force against employers to artificially increase the wage from a job that manages to be maintained, thinks that one is increasing one's capital income.  However, the fact that most of the products that that individual in poverty purchases are made primarily with minimum wage labor means that the coercive economic environment will not increase purchasing power.  Instead, it will simply impoverish everyone more.

Medical Insurance as Military Pay

     War is an environment in which the resources available to a government are allocated in a way that is most efficient to achieve victory.  This brings up the question of soldier pay.  During the crisis of an ongoing military battle, all reasonable effort should be exercised to rescue the wounded and apply necessary medicine.  However, once a wounded soldier is stabilized back home, or on a base, the question arises as to how much the conflicted country should pay out for the veteran's future medical maintenance.

Should a country set a number, such as a billion dollars of health insurance, per individual?  This obviously would soon sink the war effort.  I don't know what a reasonable number would be; however, I have thought of a philosophical system to guide the issue:

What if there was a sliding scale in an army that varied from paying military privates a basic medical insurance at the low end, and generals the most expensive policy at the high one?  This health insurance reward adds a greater incentive for soldiers to want to rise in rank.  Another way that the insurance values could get a boost is from winning medals and other military decorations.  A soldier with no battle experience would not have this, while a Medal of Honor recipient could conceivably have a multi-million dollar medical insurance plan.

One final note:  As a civilian recipient of a lot of unwanted health care, I must insist that every soldier who does not want the products and services of military medicine have that option.  So many veterans have fought and fallen into unfortunate states that it would be an outrage to deny them a way out of tortured conditions if that is what they want.

Why I Don't Want Health Insurance

     When it comes to the option of having health insurance, I am inclined to take my chances, by going my own way, uncovered.

Health insurance, on average, is not a good deal.  If I were to call up a private insurance company and solicit for a "health care plan", assuming I am honest, chances are that I will never get back as much as I pay into it.  The products they offer must be profitable to those companies, or they will go out of business.

The other legitimate (i.e. private) way many individuals obtain health insurance is from an employer.  However, what too many people don't realize is that if there really is any value behind the "health care plan" that is assigned to an employee, it is subtracted from what that individual would otherwise be paid.  I don't know about you, but personally, I would rather earn the cash.

Finally, my biggest reason why I simply don't want health insurance is that I don't want hospitals being rewarded for acting as prisons towards me.  Though it has been more than 11 years since I was last forced into a mental hospital, I remember all too well how a paid hospital had more of an incentive to not release me, or to keep me there longer, than one that is not profiting from the injustice.

Help Business by Attacking Obama

     As a pro-Capitalism, pro-America blogger, I try to find issues to write on that will help improve the economic and moral environment in which Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) does business.  Ayn Rand wrote that in the fight for the good, the battle will be Capitalism.

There are many issues and fronts in which to engage in this fight.  However, I have identified one common theme--that being that the enemy is most predominantly the person who is Barack Obama.

Since Obama is so explicitly determined to destroy Capitalism and America to the most that he is able to do, any attack that damages him politically should be invited and appreciated by the good.  Though Lilly Fuel's goal is to promote Eli Lilly (LLY), that is why I try to take political shots at Obama every chance I get.

Pet Medicine is Less Regulated than Human Medicine

     In reference to the Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) acquisition of Novartis Animal Health, I have come across an important fact that I did not have when I wrote the last post.  The Novartis business segment purchased only contains roughly 50% that is food related.  The other half falls under the category: "companion animal"--such as medicine for pets.

This knowledge in no way detracts from the point I was trying to make--which was that a shift in capital away from human health, and into alternative, animal health related markets is a positive move.

Rituparna Basu, an analyst at the Ayn Rand Institute, explains in her article, Why My Dog's Health Insurance is Cheaper than My Own:

"...veterinary medicine in general is freer, which contributes to why the same treatment costs far less when performed on a pet than on a person..."

Eli Lilly should realize more profit from doing business, in both the food and pet markets, than those companies that are still stuck trying to tangle with the FDA and Obamacare.  However, considering the large magnitude of Lilly's current R&D, no one invested in the company should give up the fight for Capitalist Medicine--so that the business can have the hope of prospering in all markets.

Food is Less Regulated than Medicine

     In big business news, Eli Lilly (LLY) has purchased the entire animal health segment of the Swiss multinational company, Novartis (NVS).

Lilly plans to merge the acquisition to its highly profitable Elanco business, which has a 60 year history.  "Elanco" derives from Eli Lilly ANd CO.

The integration of the two segments will create the second largest animal health business in the world, under Eli Lilly's control, with all of the streamlining advantages of size and resulting efficiency.

I have been analyzing this move, and believe that a large shift of capital from human medicine to food, and its production, is a smart decision for the following reasons:

(1) Obamacare is proving more stubborn than many expected.  I still predict that it will collapse.  However, the real danger is that it will settle into some kind of compromise that leaves American medicine much more regulated than it was at pre-ACA levels.

(2) Medicine is "needed" more than food in America.  This makes the takeover of the medical industry a more sympathetic issue to a lot of people.

(3) Massive government control over food production in this country lacks such a mandate--creating an inherently safer market to do business in.

(4) In light of Obama's across the board damage to the American economy, investors may want to know that Lilly's acquired Novartis animal health segment includes business that is 70% outside of the United States.

Eli Lilly still continues to remain a vibrant, human pharmaceutical company.  However, I agree with the expansion into food production and other animal products--as waiting around for the FDA to "approve" the legal purchase of medicine, while it blocks productive activity, is not a path to profitability.

One final note: If America can shake Obamacare, and reverse the Government Health Care slide, Eli Lilly (LLY), with the huge, pharmaceutical pipeline surge it has been investing in, should be in a much more advanced position to bring numerous, tested drugs to market than competitors that have been cutting their R&D budgets.

Book Critique: The Antidote

     Of all the medicine related books I have read that were advertised in the Ayn Rand catalogs, The Billion-Dollar Molecule is my favorite.  Author Barry Werth returns 20 years later with his sequel, The Antidote: Inside the World of New Pharma.

Both books focus on the interworkings of Vertex Pharmaceuticals--a science based drug design start-up in the first book, and a publicly traded, stock market success story in the second.

Vertex was created by scientific and business genius, Joshua Boger as a novel approach to bringing medicines to market.  Former executive Matthew Emmens commented, "When you think of this industry, of all the successes there are, it's mostly opportunism, either scientifically or from a commercial sense.  Very little of it can be planned.  Every time we've tried to plan--say, 'I'm gonna be the best at lipid-lowering agents, or I'm gonna be the best at hypertension, or something else'--it's never worked."(p. 316)

The company's first product launches were two drugs to fight AIDS.  As the years progressed, Vertex became a leader in treating hepatitis C and cystic fibrosis.  Medicine for cystic fibrosis (a genetic based disorder that inhibits the respiratory system) is especially of interest to me--as some of the members of my family are carriers of those genes.

Werth's first book is an excellent read, but The Antidote not only maintains a similar quality, it also has the advantage of being pharmaceutically up to date with a 2014 copyright.

Unjust Jury Fines Eli Lilly $3,000,000,000.00

     Americans have gotten so used to hearing that government is spending millions here, billions there, and over a trillion each year that a number doesn't seem like it means much anymore.

Well, in an adverse health risk case, a jury has decided to pull a number out of a hat and smack Eli Lilly with a 3 billion dollar fine.  Do these jurors even know how much money that is, or how much work is required to produce it?  That's 3,000,000,000.00 dollars!

It is the middle of the night; and Eli Lilly has yet to respond.  But, Takeda Pharmaceuticals that was hit with a 6,000,000,000.00 dollar fine at the same time issued a press release that it disagrees with the unjust ruling and intends to fight it judicially.  Let's hope for the sake of American justice that this financial nihilism is struck down.

Government Printing of Dollars Should Be Illegal

     In "How I Saved the Dollar", posted on March 22nd 2014, I introduced my idea of having a Great American Auction which would sell all illegitimate government to the highest bidders of gold.  Then, I would save the dollar by privatizing all proceeds from that auction uniformly according to every dollar.

This mechanism is a very simple way to go about getting rid of irrational government and restore value to the most widely used currency in America.  However, there is a dangerous threat to your dollars' value that the present administration is maliciously exploiting.  That nemesis is inflation.

Every time government prints a dollar, or presses a button that adds one digital unit to an American currency number, it depreciates every dollar you own.  Some economists may argue that government should have the capability to "replenish" dollar bills that get too old or are physically destroyed.  However, I argue that it should not.  If government has any ability to "make" dollars, it will usually lead to runaway inflation--which history has shown over and over again.

As speculation on the revaluation of dollars after the upcoming Great American Auction, the gross dollars in existence have a capital value.  Whenever a dollar out there is destroyed, it adds value to everyone who owns one or more dollars as savings.  In effect, an inability of government to print or digitize more dollars acts as extra interest on everyone's savings accounts each time a dollar is destroyed.

In an economy that has compromised every secure place to maintain one's money in the world, the restoration of high interest bank accounts by banning government money "creation" should be a policy priority.  The Great American Auction is coming.  Already, businessmen are accumulating gold supplies, and assessing state and federal illegitimate government values.  Let's defang the contemporary government's ability to undermine America's future, and...bring...savings...back!

The Choice in Medicine

     There is a flaw in the strategy of winning a political battle simply by defeating "Obamacare".  What will it be replaced with?  Will it just go back to semi-socialized medicine, as it was before?

Philosophically, there are only two stable (and opposite) systems.  Government Health Care is one--which America is hurtling towards today.  And, the other is Capitalist Medicine.

A country has to choose.  To try to have parts of both will send it down the slippery slope that defaults in Government Health Care.

Government Health Care is not free medicine for life.  It is government deciding when and how you will die.  With the reality of limited medical supplies, Government Health Care is death panel murder.

Capitalist Medicine, on the other hand, is medical freedom, individual self-empowerment, and free market opportunity to work in the field of medicine if that is one's aspiration.

The issue of the Rights of doctors and medical field workers is evaded way too often.  Do the quick-kill mentalities of those who want welfare shots, IVs and blood draws, even if it destroys America, justify the destruction of the careers of these noble professionals?

Missing Plane: A Cover-Up, As Such?

     How does a well-maintained 777 jet airliner just disappear without anyone knowing what happened to it or where it went to?  My guess is that the government of China did it.

America launched a massive, multi-front war over four plane hijackings that has wrecked its economy, and bogged it down in military slogs and quagmires halfway around the world.

At the beginning of the month, Russia went on a military offensive that presented an imminent threat to Europe and American interests--necessitating the positioning of responsive military assets to prepare for what could happen next.

Through I have not kept up on international military news much in Asia lately, back in the mid part of the last decade, I remember, repeatedly, reading about the aggressive buildup and modernization of the Chinese military that its government was undergoing.

So, considering how touchy America is about terrorism, what if it became necessary to go to war with predominantly muslim Malaysia and/or Indonesia?  Something happened to an airliner carrying Americans over muslim skies, and of course the far and distant country of China didn't cause it--as the plane's destination was supposed to be Beijing.

Personally, I believe that the whole fiasco is what I call a "cover-up, as such".  The American government figured out it was China.  China doesn't want to pay for what it has done (perhaps by forfeiting America's national debt to that country).  And, the American leadership doesn't want to publicly disclose the evidence it has that it was China because it is afraid of another war.

Ask yourself who stands to gain by the transfer of nearby American resources to a destructive war in the Southwestern Pacific?  That inductive recognition is worth more than any flight record black box that may eventually be found.

How I Saved the Dollar

     Ayn Rand wrote of the power of ideas to shape history.  And, with the following words, I will have made a major impact upon the U.S. economy, as well as all those who own dollars in the entire world.  This is how I did it:

The paper dollar's value hinges upon the belief that others will view it as a tradable commodity despite the fact that, recently, it really was only worth the value of its use as paper tinder to start a campfire with.  That is...until tonight.

The dollar can be saved.  However, it will not last for long if government possesses gold with simply some "promise" to liquidate it upon everyone's demand.  That has been tried and look what always happens.  What the United States needs is a Great American Auction.

The Great American Auction involves putting up 51 lots of soon to be private property to be transferred to the highest gold bidder in each one.  All "government infrastructure" except for that which had resided in Objectivist defined, legitimate sectors are to be sold.  The sectors that are exempted are military, judiciary, police, diplomatic, and treasury.  Everything else is thrown into each lot--50 lots that were in the former jurisdiction of each state, and one big one that was federal.

Only privately owned gold can be bid.  And, there must be proof that if a bidder wins all that one bids, one will be able to deliver.  Now to your dollars.

The sum of all the dollars in existence will have to be assessed.  Once the exact mass of gold from the Great American Auction is accumulated, through simple math, the quantity of gold will be divided up evenly according to each dollar.  Then the government will completely, securely privatize the holdings (such as by sending the gold claims to banks and dollar liquidation businesses).

The fact that the vital sectors of government are currently more bloated than they really should be, ought to insure that the legitimate government does not implode before enough, voluntary, private donations to the U.S. treasury (which will send the funding to the other valid sectors of government) kick in.

The Great American Auction is not an Objectivist, Ayn Rand idea.  It is mine that extends from my study of the philosophy.  Who knows how long it will be until those baseless pieces of paper in your bank account are worth something?  But, for you, tomorrow should be a brighter day because they will be...and that...is what value...is made of.

Islam, Burglary, and Other Religions

     There exists, in the United States Constitution, the First Amendment that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."  However, how does one define religion?  Is religion simply a group of people declaring that they are directed by "God", no matter what beliefs and activities are associated with it?  Must the American government abstain from interfering with all those who declare themselves religious--no matter what follows?

To illustrate the point I want to make, imagine a ring of thieves.  The leader of this burglary group writes a book about his beliefs and declares that he was inspired by "God".  The plans he has for a big heist are the will of "God"; and no one can oppose it without violating the burglars' religion.  It is written that: "There is only one God, and the burglar is his prophet."  When the American government confronts the burglary believers, they argue that it cannot interfere with the group in any way because of Freedom of Religion in America.

Do you see something wrong with this?  It is not the declaration of "God" related activities that protects people.  It is the existence of "God" declared activities that are also in accordance with the rest of the Constitution, and, secondarily, lower law that prevents government from interfering with them.

So, apply this argument to the "religion" of islam.  muslims teach toddlers to hate America and the West (which alone is actually not illegal).  But, when you combine that antagonism with what the koran preaches, it negates any kind of Freedom of Religion protection that a civil religion, such as Christianity, maintains.

I mean, seriously, do you really think that the American Constitution legalizes: offensively killing "non-believers" with swords and guns, intimidating those who survive into forced conversion to islam, killing off those who have some rational integrity after they have surrendered, cutting off heads as a standard execution tactic, taking all the private property away from the ones who are left living, beginning a process of indoctrinating the new geography that is conquered, and then continuing the spread of the virus of islam forward into history?

Why an Obama impeachment would fail

     Suppose for a moment that all the Republicans and Tea Party congressional members worked up their courage to challenge the imperialist by beginning the impeachment process.  And, what if the tide against Obama turned in our favor?  One key flaw exists that would sabotage the process from the start.  You can't impeach a "President" who never was President.

Obama was born in Kenya.  All the evidence shows that.  And, no matter how hard the formerly mainstream media tries to bury the issue, it will always exist.

Obama is America's enemy.  Could Congress have impeached Hitler?  Could Congress have impeached Stalin?  Could Congress have impeached Saddam Hussein?

Obama will probably continue on his course, and issue another "executive order", such as:

If you like your Kenyan, you can keep your Kenyan.

With the Constitutional mechanism non-applicable, will someone, please, find a way to solve America's problem!

A Minimum Wage Kills the Elderly

     It is a reality of the human condition that Man is mortal.  No one alive today will still be living 200 years from now.  As each of us transitions into old age, there becomes a point where those of us who are still living are no longer able to produce as much capital as we once were.  Then, eventually, we will transition into a state in which production is not possible at all.  At that point, our savings will carry us as far as it can until it is spent; and then we die.  So, with this metaphysical state of our nature understood, let's look at the political debate of the day.

Obama wants a $10.10 minimum wage.  This would mean that all potential workers must be worth at least $10.10 per hour, or it will be illegal for them to work.  Apply this to the elderly, and it would outlaw their production as soon as they transition down to only being able to make less than $10.10 per hour.  Visualize it by drawing a graph where individual age is the X axis and wage rate value is the Y axis.  You may be curious as to what a reduction in the current, legal minimum wage would appear as--which you can illustrate by going towards zero with lawful work on the Y axis.  Of course, there should be no minimum wage at all because it violates the moral principle of Capitalism.  But, you can play around with my Age/Wage graph until you affirm that conclusion.

For those who insist on forced room and board for old people, I for one object to the inevitable death panels that develop from that philosophy.  I'd rather die naturally than by the hand of government.

Prediction: Obama will not get away with destroying America

     America is too great.  Americans enjoy making money too much.  Americans have enough common sense to perceive that Obama is a destroyer.

American soldiers know who the enemy's ideological leader is.  The American military is not commanded by a foreigner who seeks to destroy it.

Americans are too rebellious to abuse from authority.  Americans are individualists.  Americans want to be self-reliant.

Americans cherish liberty and the opportunity to trade, profit, and prosper with one's property.  Americans are wary of Big Government.  They cling to their gun property, as they know it is the only insurance against the final political argument.

Americans don't want to be taken care of.  Americans want to earn what they get.  Americans want to work.

Americans know when they have suffered loss.  When government takes one's money, Americans will not get anything back.

Americans are mortal heroes.  As they age, they become more self-aware of their mortality, and the importance of continuing to produce.  When an American can no longer work, then one turns to one's savings.  When that fuel is spent, the American dies, nobly and with honor.  Americans know that such is the reality of life.

Americans want to glorify the businessman.  The man of production and trade stands as a symbol of America.

Americans want the scientist to return from exile in protest of using his mind to invent destruction.

America is ripe for an Intellectual Renaissance.  The formerly mainstream media is too easily disconnected.  Turn them off.  The political subsidies will still result in low ratings.

Americans respect the doctor.  They know their minds must be free to have healing options for the price offered.  America requires Capitalist Medicine before the health of families will have a chance at being insured.

Americans prize medical innovation.  They awe at the prospect of cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's and cancer.  Americans know that pharmaceutical freedom is the key to availability from success.

Americans want the value of gold.  Americans don't want inflation to be able to touch their lives.

Americans aren't takers who live on a credit card in their children's name.  Americans want an American future.

Its Time for the (T)

     With the Republican Party philosophically imploding, the argument that every Republican who is elected is at least one less Democrat in office doesn't seem so appealing anymore.  However, as angry as I am at many Republicans, denying Obama political allies still does make sense.  So, what about the Tea Party?

Several Tea Party Senators have gotten elected in recent years, being called Republicans.  I know who these ideological leaders are, however despite hearing of others, such as those in the House, I have no easy way to identify them.

Republican candidates are identified with an (R).
Democrat candidates are identified with a (D).
I propose that Tea Party candidates be designated a (T).

This would aid voters immensely in being able to grow the future of American politics.

If you like your property, you can keep your property.

     An article has been published at teaparty.org that reveals that Obama is plotting to force Americans, who have invested their money into retirement accounts, to forfeit their savings for government treasury bonds.

A treasury bond is nothing less than an "extortion future".  It is an acquired piece of paper that says that one will recoup the cost of the treasury bond, plus interest, at the expense of whatever unfortunate victims that government has taken money from.

You may be a scoundrel who thinks that an extortion future racket is an easy way to "insure" a stable "profit".  However, by their very nature, government treasury bonds are very unstable.

First of all, they are immoral which means that whenever a rational government gets into power, all of your extortion futures will be defaulted on.  They are also philosophically illegal, as instituting legalized theft through the incentive that the extortionists will profit at the expense of defenseless victims does not belong in a proper legal system.

Some investors may continue along--holding government treasury bonds--thinking that they will get away with skinning their fellow Americans because the racket may last a little longer.  However, we, who are the moral investors, should self-righteously celebrate the day that you immoral players lose, not only the extortion "interest", but also the principal you put down to try to uphold the government's coercion.

If you like your liberty, you can keep your liberty.

I can remember when that film hit theaters.  The owner of where I work invited half of the employees in the area to all go see it.  He paid for the tickets and the field manager bought refreshments.  I didn't go, as I had actually already seen it.  However, I was happy to hear the feedback from a couple of co-workers who said that the documentary really changed their minds about Obama.

Now that one of the most outspoken, opposition filmmakers is a political prisoner--being held on felony charges--I wonder when the next patriotic flame will rise to shine light on the truth about Barack "The Kenyan" Obama.

When Obamacare collapses, there should be no refund for enrollees

     Look back to the 60's when Lyndon Johnson's welfare programs, such as Medicare, were put into place.  Now look what they have become.  With the young (non-recipients) being forced to pay into a system that funds the senior expenses of those who never earned that much, shouldn't the young have moral recourse to declare a welfare default that does not continue to extort their money?

Whereas Obamacare is both immoral and illegal, I argue that, when the forces for Capitalist Medicine win the on-going, raging battle, those who are putting their money into the government's hands should get no refund.  Anyone who is stupid enough to side with Obamacare deserves this outcome.

If you like your privacy, you can keep your privacy.

Due to the fact that the long speech had little substance, and considering Obama's dishonest record and lack of conscience in lying to Americans, the speech should be more alarming than anything else.

I just signed an individual order, nullifying Obama's "executive orders".

     Obama thinks he has found a terrible weapon against America.  He intimidates legislators, judges, and others in government who oppose him, and then suddenly decides to declare that he is signing an "executive order" that does what he was arguing for anyway.

This tactic stops now.  I have just signed an "individual order" that nullifies all "executive orders" that Obama has ever signed.

You may assert, "But, you can't do that.  Can you do that?"  And I respond, "That is exactly my point."  My "individual order" and Obama's "executive orders" are no different in efficacy.  If Barack "The Kenyan" Obama had been able to become President, the validity of the two orders would be a matter of law.  And, the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land.

Obama, by declaring himself above the Constitution, is in effect treasonously announcing his individual self in a realm of physical war with America.  He is placing himself in a state of outlaw that any liberty-loving American is sanctioned with the mandate to apprehend and bring to trial before a court that has not been stacked with Obama's cronies or intimidated by him.

Don't Let Up On Obamacare!

     Weeks have gone by; and I have hardly read or heard anything about Obamacare.  It reminds me of the state that America was in shortly before its passage in 2010.  The votes were said to be clearly stacked against it; so Americans felt safe.  We thought that we didn't have to fight.

But, in reality, right now the law could tilt either way.  Liberty-loving Americans are so close to being rid of the hated legislation for good.  What we now need to do is to nail the lid on its coffin.

Don't wait for Obama's lapdog media to raise the issue again anytime soon.  Take it up yourself; and don't rest until Obamacare is wiped off of the American legal books!

New Market: A Single Company Intellectual

     As a self-educated Objectivist, I am open about the philosophy I endorse in my blog: Lilly Fuel.  When I began to study Objectivism, it was not my intention to eventually become an intellectual advocate for Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY).  However, in doing so, I have stumbled upon an entirely new kind of market.

Many Objectivists embrace a very broad range of philosophy; while some specialize in single subjects, such as: law, foreign policy, energy, science, or medicine.  However, what I have begun is to specialize even further into being a single company advocate.  This has a couple of advantages.  First, I receive unofficial "pay" in the form of expensive medicine.  And second, the stock I own in the company appreciates according to how well I do.  Of course, if other Objectivists enter this new market class, they may be able to make more lucrative deals.

I am currently reading For The New Intellectual, by Ayn Rand, again.  She refers to the intellectual and the businessman as twins.  The following are a couple of quotes:

"The professional businessman and the professional intellectual came into existence together, as brothers born of the industrial revolution.  Both are the sons of capitalism..." (p.6).

"...there ought to be a private, voluntary program of 'student exchanges' between the intellectuals and the businessmen, the two groups that need each other most..." (p.52).

Too often, Objectivist intellectuals have to rely on non-profit donations to support themselves while they work.  Why not strike a for-profit deal with a wealthy corporation that desperately has demand for Objectivist intellectual guidance and new ideas?

     I have finished reading Andrew Bernstein's book, Capitalist Solutions: A Philosophy of American Moral Dilemmas.  The book begins with a brief foundation of Objectivism that supports the ethical and political applications which follow.  It is a rich integration of philosophy and economics that focuses on such topics as: the errors of environmentalism, the islamic threat to America, the solutions of a system of Capitalist Medicine, the Right to Abortion, and Free Market education.  The final chapter covers the political issues of: the assault on the Right to Bear Arms, the immorality of illegal drugs, and the imperative to legalize immigration once the war is decisively won.

While participating in the Google blogosphere, since 2005, I have written about 1000 posts between two, Objectivist Usenet newsgroups.  Though I cannot be sure that the author did not independently think of many of the new, Objectivist compatible ideas in this book, it is wonderful to see so many of my ideas now in the Objectivist literature.
