  Affordable Care Act (better known as obamacare)

But How About This Headlines?

Quote:Federal judge in Texas strikes down Affordable Care Act

In a ruling sure to be appealed to Supreme Court, Texas court says the ACA, also known as Obamacare, can no longer stand without the penalty against the uninsured.

minusculeclap minusculegoodjob
Doesn't that make you Happy, it did me.  smallgreenhurray
Quote:A federal judge in Texas struck down the Affordable Care Act on Friday night, ruling that former President Barack Obama's signature domestic legislation has fallen down like a losing game of "Jenga."

U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth sided with the argument put forward by a coalition of Republican-leaning states, led by Texas, that Obamacare could no longer stand now that there's no penalty for Americans who don't buy insurance.

The U.S. Supreme Court had upheld the law in 2012, by classifying the legislation as a tax. But since Congress removed the individual mandate in 2017, O’Connor ruled, there's no way the ACA can be allowed to stand.

"The Individual Mandate can no longer be fairly read as an exercise of Congress's Tax Power and is still impermissible under the Interstate Commerce Clause — meaning the Individual Mandate is unconstitutional," O'Connor wrote. "The Individual Mandate is essential to and inseverable from the remainder of the ACA."


Without the system being upheld by a wide pool of mandated participants, the ACA cannot stand, O'Connor ruled.

"Without it, Congress and the Supreme Court have stated, the architectural design fails," according to O'Connor. "It is like watching a slow game of Jenga, each party poking at a different provision to see if the ACA falls."

The White House said in a statement that the ruling is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and the law will remain in place until that process is completed.

Need something to take a break from politics? Then this is your lucky day, especially if you like high strangeness.  

These Navajo Rangers investigate a little bit of everything and show pictures of their discoveries. Everything from UFOs, Skinwalkers, Orbs, Ghosts, Time Warps, and more.

Go grab a drink, some popcorn, and enjoy the show. I think you'll like this one.   tinybiggrin 

Quote:These rangers are assigned the most inexplicable cases that come through their station, meticulously investigating each one with an scrutiny that is unheard of with these types of topics. From Bigfoot and UFO’s, to hauntings and Navajo witchcraft, they are exposed to some of the most unbelievable phenomenon known to man. This is a land of legend and mystery, and often it seems that the police here are firsthand witnesses to some very bizarre things indeed.

  The Magic Behind Beating The Bounds!
Posted by: OmegaLogos - 12-14-2018, 01:36 PM - Forum: Metaphysics and Related Topics - Replies (5)

Explanation: I hope I am not out of bounds posting this thread here! Please move as is appropriate.

Disclaimer: This thread is brought to you by my legally medicated insanity , my ability to see general patterns in life and similar patterns in threads I have chosen to specifically read,... and that God talks to me and has sent me a guide in the form of my late aunt who whispers to me in my dreams about farms.

Caution: Read the following at your own risk to your mental stability!

Hello my fellow Rogueworts wizards, witches and warlocks,... to my class on The Magic Behind Beating the Bounds!

1stly We shall all need some Willow - Wands ...

Quote:The priest of the parish with the churchwardens and the parochial officials headed a crowd of boys who, armed with green boughs, usually birch or willow, beat the parish boundary markers with them.


[Image: nt534d21fd.jpg]


Because it is coming up to Rogation Days and Ascension Day ...

Quote:In former times when maps were rare, it was usual to make a formal perambulation of the parish boundaries on Ascension Day or during Rogation week.


Quote:Rogation Days are Christian celebrations spanning over five days. Processions are held from Monday through Wednesday on the dates preceding Ascension Thursday, with a final celebration held on the 25 April. These have historically been known as the Minor and Major Rogations. The word "Rogation" comes from the Latin verb rogare, meaning "to ask", which reflects the beseeching of God for protection.


So you may ask what are we doing

Well it is similar to this ...

We shall be magically beating on the touchstones of the magic of binding and unbinding, aka the magical setting of, maintainance of and the trespassing of boundaries,... and also on the more mundane history, use and reasons for Boundary Markers.

Personal Disclosure:
I am not a follower of the Abrahamic faiths or a member of any of their religious organizations and so I was surprised when I realized this sacred information was revealed to me just before I would be required to exercise it, i.e. Ascension day, and to me that is a miracle!

What this post may offer my fellow members is a chance to remember where we came from and what that entitles us to ...

Quote:Knowledge of the limits of each parish needed to be handed down so that such matters as liability to contribute to the repair of the church, and the right to be buried within the churchyard were not disputed


There is much to be discussed and so please join me in soundly beating the bounds of this subject!

  A Valid Reason On Exactly Why Everyone, Including YOU, Should Feel Stupid!
Posted by: OmegaLogos - 12-14-2018, 12:34 PM - Forum: Psychological Well Being - Replies (2)

Explanation: Hi to my fellow Rogue members taking part in this thread! tinybiggrin

1stly To all the stupid people ... you can't help being stupid and thinking stupidly and hence you already feel stupid ... so I don't blame you for that since you already meet the criteria of this thread ok! tinycool

2ndly However ... To all the smart people ... tinyhuh

The basic valid reason on why exactly everyone, including you, should feel stupid IS because it is the right thing to logically and humanely do! tinysure

Here is why ... it is called having a conscience ... and it is about walking a mile in another persons shoes!

Since the basic level of smart is the minimum Mensa level IQ of 135 ... over 90% of humanity is stupid because 100 IQ is retarded compared with 135 IQ ... compare 65 IQ to 100 IQ to see and notice the difference in just how stupid 100 IQ really is ok.

George Carlin on Stupid People (caution contains rough language)



So be nuts and start giving a sh!t and FEEL stupid for once in your lives ok!

IT IS HEALTHY FOR YOU!

Because if you don't understand stupid people they will threaten your survival ... so again, be smart and feel stupid!

Personal Disclosure: This thread was brought to you by the numbers '65' , '100' and '135' and by the letter 'A' and finally by the Rogue shill for truth and troll for ad revenue, OmegaLogos!

Trololo Song!



So ... Do you feel better now that you feel stupid ?

[Note: You can help my agenda by starring this thread if you feel I have trolled you! However if you think I did a great job then please make an ALERT and warn all the mods on just how awesome I really am ]

  Clinton Foundation Operated As Foreign Agent
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 12-14-2018, 12:40 AM - Forum: Political News and more - Replies (1)

So, Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch, and two other men who call themselves outside whistle blowers had a hearing today where they gave the evidence they found in their investigation.  Below is an article by Sara Carter of that meeting/hearing.



[Image: gettyimages-539528138-612x612.jpg]


Quote:The Clinton Foundation operated as a foreign agent ‘early in its life’ and ‘throughout it’s existence’ and did not operate as a 501c3 charitable foundation as required by its and is not entitled to its status as a nonprofit, alleged two highly qualified forensic investigators, accompanied by three other investigators, said in explosive testimony Thursday to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

John Moynihan and Lawerence W. Doyle, both graduates of the Catholic Jesuit College of the Holy Cross and former expert forensic government investigators, gave their shocking testimony before congress based on a nearly two year investigation into the foundation’s work both nationally and internationally. They were assisted by three other highly trained experts in taxation law and financial forensic investigations. The forensic investigators stressed that they obtained all the documentation on the foundation legally and through Freedom of Information Request Acts from the IRS and other agencies.

Former Utah U.S. Attorney General John Huber, who resigned when he was appointed by former Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the Clinton Foundation and the issues surrounding the approval to sell 20 percent of U.S. Uranium assets to Russia, declined to attend the hearing. Chairman Mark Meadows, R-NC, who oversaw the hearing stated that it was disappointment that Huber declined, leaving Congress in the dark regarding the DOJ’s investigation.
Investigations into the Clinton Foundation have always been plagued by politics but Moynihan wanted to make clear in his opening statement that this investigation was one of many his firm has conducted on nonprofits and had nothing to do with politics. 

Doyle and Moynihan have amassed 6,000 documents in their nearly two-year investigation through their private firm MDA Analytics LLC. The documents were turned over more than a year and a half ago to the IRS, according to John Solomon, who first published the report last week in The Hill.  

“The investigation clearly demonstrates that the foundation was not a charitable organization per say, but in point of fact was a closely held family partnership,” said Doyle, who formerly worked on Wall Street and has been involved with finance for the last ten years conducting investigations. “As such it was governed in a fashion in which it sought in large measure to advance the personal interests of its principles as detailed within the financial analysis of this submission and further confirmed within the supporting documentation and evidence section.”

At the onset of the hearing, Moynihan wanted to make perfectly clear that the intention to look into the Clinton Foundation was not political but based on their work with the firm.

“At this point I’d like to answer two questions, who are we? We are apolitical,” Moynihan told the committee. “We have no party affiliation to this whatsoever, No one has financed us… we are forensic investigators that approached this effort in a nonpartisan profession, objective, and independent way…we follow facts, that’s all.” 

“We have never been partisan,” he added, speaking on behalf of all five members of his group testifying to Congress. “We come from law enforcement and wall street where each of us has dedicated our entire lives and praised the rule of law doing the right thing pursuing facts. we follow facts. that’s all.” 

“None of this is our opinion,” he went on state. “I emphasize none of this is our opinion. These are not our facts. They are not your facts. They are the facts of the Clinton Foundation.”
He disclosed the reason his firm decided to take on the Clinton Foundation and the fact that they paid for the investigation out of their “own pockets.”
“Are you doing this for money,” said Moynihan to the committee. “Yes, this is how we make a living.”

Moynihan and Doyle swapped back and forth between there testimony and opening statement, making it clear they were working as a team. But the most shocking statements came from Moynihan’s statement as he read the laundry list of violations by the Clinton Foundation.

Moynihan stated “Foreign agent,” as he began to read from a long list of violations discovered during the course of their investigation.

The Clinton Foundation “began acting as an agent of foreign governments ‘early in its life’ and throughout its existence. As such, the foundation should’ve registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act),” he said. “Ultimately, the Foundation and its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 ©2.”

Doyle, who was also outlining a litany of violations by the foundation, noted that currently there are approximately 1.75 million nonprofits in the United states that annually generate nearly 2 trillion dollars, which is 9 percent of the U.S. GDP.
“Whose minding the store, looking out for the donors and minding the rule of law,” said Doyle.

“On that note, we followed the money so we made extensive spreadsheets of their revenues and expenses, we analyzed their income statements and we did a macro-review of all the donors, which its a very (jumbled) sort of foundation,” said Doyle. “Less than 1/10th of one-percent of the donors gave 80 percent of the money. So we follow the money.” 

Moynihan added that the foundation “did pursue programs and activities for which it had neither sought nor achieved permission to undertake.” 

Particularly, he noted the case of the Clinton Presidential Library in 2004. He noted that the foundation’s role before and after library was built was a misrepresentation to donors “of the approval organizational tax status to raise funds for the presidential library programs therein. In these pursuits the foundation failed the organizational and operational task 501c3 internal revenue code 7.25.3.” 

Additionally Doyle stated that the foundation’s intentional “misuse of donated public funds.” He stated that the foundation “falsely attested that it received funds and used them for charitable purposes which was in fact not the case. Rather the foundation pursued in an array of activities both domestically and abroad.” 

“Some may be deemed philanthropic, albeit unimproved, while other much larger in scope are properly characterized as profit oriented and taxable undertakings of private enterprise again failing the operational tests philanthropy referenced above,” Doyle said. 

Philip Hackney, a tax law professor at Louisiana State University, who is a former Exempt Organizations lawyer at the IRS, and Tom Fitton, president of the conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch also testified at the hearing. Judicial Watch has been at the forefront of fighting the Clinton Foundation in court to access documents requested by FOIA. Hackney and Fitton testified during the first panel of the hearing.
Here is a video of the hearing:   It starts at the 39:00 mark.

  A Woman's exercise Diary
Posted by: 727Sky - 12-13-2018, 12:58 AM - Forum: General Health Topics - Replies (4)

Quote:A WOMAN'S WEEK AT THE GYM

This is dedicated to everyone who ever attempted to get into a regular workout routine 

Dear Diary,
For my birthday this year, I  purchased a week of personal training at the local health club.
Although I am still in great shape since being a high school football cheerleader 43 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to go ahead and give it a try.
I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Christo, who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.
Friends seemed pleased with my enthusiasm to get started! The club encouraged me to keep a diary to chart my progress.
________________________________
MONDAY:
Started my day at 6:00 a.m. Tough to get out of bed, but found it was well worth it when I arrived at the health club to find Christo waiting for me. He is something of a Greek god-- with blond hair, dancing eyes, and a dazzling white smile.  Woo Hoo!!
Christo gave me a tour and showed me the machines.. I enjoyed watching the skilful way in which he conducted his aerobics class after my workout today. Very inspiring!
Christo was encouraging as I did my sit-ups, although my gut was already aching from holding it in the whole time he was around. This is going to be a FANTASTIC week!!
________________________________
TUESDAY:
I drank a whole pot of coffee, but I finally made it out the door.  Christo made me lie on my back and push a heavy iron bar into the air then he put weights on it!  My legs were a little wobbly on the treadmill, but I made the full mile.  His rewarding smile made it all worthwhile. I feel GREAT!  It's a whole new life for me.
_______________________________
WEDNESDAY:
The only way I can brush my teeth is by laying the toothbrush on the counter and moving my mouth back and forth over it.  I believe I have a hernia in both pectorals.  Driving was OK as long as I didn't try to steer or stop. I parked on top of a GEO in the club parking lot.
Christo was impatient with me, insisting that my screams bothered other club members.  His voice is a little too perky for that early in the morning and when he scolds, he gets this nasally whine that is VERY annoying.
My chest hurt when I got on the treadmill, so Christo put me on the stair monster.  Why the hell would anyone invent a machine to simulate an activity rendered obsolete by elevators?  Christo told me it would help me get in shape and enjoy life.  He said some other shit too.
_______________________________
THURSDAY:
Asshole was waiting for me with his vampire-like teeth exposed as his thin, cruel lips were pulled back in a full snarl.  I couldn't help being a half an hour late-- it took me that long to tie my shoes.
He took me to work out with dumbbells. When he was not looking, I ran and hid in the restroom.  He sent some skinny bitch to find me.
Then, as punishment, he put me on the rowing machine-- which I sank.
_________________________________
FRIDAY:
I hate that bastard Christo more than any human being has ever hated any other human being in the history of the world. Stupid, skinny, anaemic, anorexic, little aerobic instructor.  If there was a part of my body I could move without unbearable pain, I would beat him with it.
Christo wanted me to work on my triceps.  I don't have any triceps!  And if you don't want dents in the floor, don't hand me the damn barbells or anything that weighs more than a sandwich..
The treadmill flung me off and I landed on a health and nutrition teacher.  Why couldn't it have been someone softer, like the drama coach or the choir director?
________________________________
SATURDAY:
Satan left a message on my answering machine in his grating, shrilly voice wondering why I did not show up today.  Just hearing his voice made me want to smash the machine with my planner; however, I lacked the strength to even use the TV remote and ended up catching eleven straight hours of the Weather Channel..
________________________________
SUNDAY:
I'm having the Church van pick me up for services today so I can go and thank GOD that this week is over.  I will also pray that next year my husband will choose a gift for me that is fun-- like a root canal or a hysterectomy.  I still say if God had wanted me to bend over, he would have sprinkled the floor with diamonds!!!

  Newly-Released MKUltra Docs
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 12-12-2018, 12:03 AM - Forum: The Enlightened Ones or The Powers That Be - Replies (1)

Ah, yes, something new on this topic to chew on.  minusculebiggrin

MKUltra is seeing it's 65th anniversary this year, and now we have some documents released through a FOIA showing just how far they went in their experiments to control our thoughts.
If they were successful then, you can bet they are still using it today.

Quote:The Central Intelligence Agency made six remote-controlled dogs as a part of their MKULTRA “behavior modification” or mind control program.  Using brain surgery, newly requested documents show that the dogs were “field operational” and controlled by human beings.


[Image: mindcontrol-e1524482413471.jpg]

The CIA marked the 65th anniversary of the launch of Project MKULTRA. And the public is finally getting a more broad and detailed look at just how far those attempting these gruesome experiments were willing to go in order to gain control of our thoughts.

The documents were provided under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by  The Black Vault founder, John Greenewald. According to a report by Newsweek, The Black Vault specializes in declassified government records. In one declassified letter (released as file C00021825) a redacted individual writes to a doctor (whose name has also been redacted) with advice about launching a laboratory for experiments in animal mind control. The writer of the letter is already an expert in the field, whose earlier work had culminated with the creation of six remote control dogs, which could be made to run, turn, and stop.

Quote:“As you know, I spent about three years working in the research area of rewarding electrical stimulation of the brain,” the individual writes.
In the laboratory, we performed a number of experiments with rats; in the open field, we employed dogs of several breeds.

As if their mind control experiments on humans were not disturbing enough, the CIA also admits that the goal was to control the behavior of a dog.

Quote:“The specific aim of the research program was to examine the possibility of controlling the behavior of a dog, in an open field, by means of remotely triggering electrical stimulation of the brain,” the report states.
“Such a system depends for its effectiveness on two properties of electrical stimulation delivered to certain deep-lying structures of the dog brain: the well-known reward effect, and a tendency for such stimulation to initiate and maintain locomotion in a direction which is accompanied by the continued delivery of stimulation.”

After the surgery to control the mind of a dog, the CIA states that the gruesome side effects could be “infection at the electrode site due to a failure of the surgical wound to heal.” 
Newsweek
 reported that after trying
 out a plastic helmet, government scientists instead settled on the new surgical technique that involved, “embedding the electrode entirely within a mound of dental cement on the skull and running the leads subcutaneously to a point between the shoulder blades, where the leads are brought to the surface and affixed to a standard dog harness.

[Image: MKUltradogsurgery-e1544444209438.png]
Once the surgeons implanted the electrodes deep in the subject dog’s brain, a battery pack and stimulator was added to the harness, through which signals could be sent to the electrodes. “The stimulator had to be reliable and capable of sufficient voltage output to be usable in the face of expected impedance variation across individual dogs.”

Another of the documents revealed perhaps even more disturbing new details on the use of experimental mind control drugs on unwilling human beings, suggesting experimenting with the use of such drugs on inmates in prison hospitals and drugging suspected criminals awaiting trial. According to Sputnik News, it gets even worse. Yet another document details experimentation with hypnotic speaking techniques to enable mind control over “large audiences.”

So, there you have it. Now you know it's not just a conspiracy theory; it never is when they use that label on ANYTHING.
