Red Blooded American Boy

Archive for December, 2009

My predictions for 2010 grouped by subject:

Healthcare:

1. Healthcare Legislation passed in 2009 will be legally challenged and end up in the malaise of court proceedings. This status will cause the healthcare industry to pause investment and growth. Continued healthcare demand will not be met and a contraction of care and services will result.
2. Insurance companies will increase their premiums 200%, reduce the number of services covered and decrease preexisting coverage. Despite being in the pockets of Congress during the passage of healthcare “reform” they will be bracing for heavy fiscal losses in the long term. Since they will eventually be controlled by the government anyway, they will be prepared to have the government force them into every inch of reform.
3. Insurance companies will quietly reduce their lower-paid workforce by 20%. Management level positions will increase 20% to prepare for increased government bureaucracies.
4. Insurance companies will merge to provide better defense against government “competition.” If mergers are not allowed by government bureaucrats, many of the companies will fold. The workforce from the folded companies will added to the larger insurance companies, anyway.
5. The newly uninsured from failed insurance companies will be unable to find coverage anywhere else. The government will be overwhelmed Medicaid request and be unable to provide coverage right away. The first reality of government healthcare will be felt across America.
6. Insurance Companies will implement a reimbursement schedule similar to Medicaid/Medicare. They will delay payment to spread out their liabilities over time, thus decreasing their net loss on paper.
7. Physicians will begin to implement a “fee-for-service” or subscription-based payment system. These physicians will quickly become unable to accept new patients as current customers will fill the open slots.
8. Fewer physicians will take Insurance/Medicare/Medicaid. Government will threaten to make the doctor’s refusal of these payment systems illegal.
9. Masses of physicians 55 and older will either begin preparing for retirement, or will retire. Most of these will be highly skilled specialists. MD’s in their 40′s will be scrambling to pay debt off in order to leave the field quickly before the government takes over their practice.
10. Hospitals will begin looking at cost-cutting measures such as increasing the nurse-to-patient ratios on floors. A battle with nursing unions will result, strikes will occur and patients will suffer.
11. Temporary nurse staffing jobs will be in high demand. The demand will draw many highly experienced nurses from local hospitals. Local hospitals from around the country will suffer.
12. Wait times for medical services will increase due to increased paperwork requirements from Insurance companies and government.
13. Hastily implemented electronic medical records (to receive ARRA funds by 2011) will result in staff confusion and delayed patient care.  Many implemented systems will be declared a failure, resulting in use of backup paper systems.

Immigration/Race

1. The Obama administration will try to quickly pass illegal immigration amnesty by the summer. Democrats know their goose is cooked in November, so they will try to do as much damage as possible before they exit stage left.
2. Racial tensions will explode like not seen since the Civil War. Mexican illegal aliens will riot and protest for amnesty. Blacks will protest the Mexicans and anyone against Obama.
3. The liberal media will blame the Mexican and Black violence on White racism which will incite white people to protest and fight back.
4. ACORN will set fire to media outlets and Black churches to further incite racial anger toward whites. ACORN and Black Panthers will organize race riots in towns across America.
5. Black rioters will assassinate James David Manning of ATLAH World Ministries for his Anti-Obama rants.
6. Jeremiah Wright will become a powerful voice in the anti-Mexican and anti-White riots.
7. The largely minority-based workforce in nursing homes will be more violent and neglectful to clients as staffing patterns are changed and caring for “rich white-people” becomes more stressful.

Politics:

1. Obama will become more openly angry and cynical as he sees his favor with the American people decrease. The young voters who looked to him for optimistic guidance will become disheartened as their hero looks more like a zero.
2. Republicans will take back control of the Congress. This victory will be bitter-sweet because the American public will not be trusting of any party in power.
3. A dominate third party will take hold after the smoke clears in the tortuous elections in 2010. This new party will keep pressure on the newly elected Republicans to be more fiscally conservative. The Republicans will find it difficult to change the leviathan created in the Clinton/Bush 43 years.
4. Libertarians and Conservatives will construct the base of the new third party. It will shred what remains of the Republican Party. Liberal Republicans will absorb into the Democrat party.
5. ACORN will organize an assassination attempt on Rush Limbaugh. This will not kill Limbaugh, but will incapacitate him to the point of being off the radio during the 2010 election cycle. Mark Stein will become the permanent host for the EIB network during Rush’s convalescence.

Economy:

1. Employment numbers will increase. The liberal press will scramble to pump good news out about the economy. They will fail.
2. The US economy will not improve, despite claims by the Obama Administration to the contrary.
3. The government will continue to shift allocated funds, to sponsor new programs which provide no impact.
4. The Obama financial operatives will struggle to hide their inability to borrow more from foreign governments.  Hence, the shell game of debt shifting made in point number 3.
5. The US Dollar will fall in value and inflation will easily be felt be everyone from Wall St. to Main St.

Climate:

1. Fabricated climate data will surface from American Universities. Young disciples of Climate change will find and reveal this data in revenge for being hoodwinked. Hell has no fury like a hippie’s scorn.
2. Universities who sponsored the crooks that participated in the fabrication of data will see a sharp decline in Alumni contributions.
3. Tuition to colleges will increase almost 100% in the fall of 2010. Lots of college kids will not be able to pay the tuition. These scorned brains of mush will either become flaming ACORN Liberals or Ron Paul Republicans.
4. Links between carbon traders and fabricated climate data will surface. Legal proceedings will begin against these carbon traders. Monetary stocks invested in climate change will crash and burn. Climate companies will request a bailout from governments around the world.

Media:

1. Fox News will see at least a 45% rise in consistent viewership.
2. Liberal TV Media will fabricate their viewership numbers to stay on the TV. The real numbers will be hardly measurable.
3. Liberal newspapers will receive quiet Federal funding through organizations like ACORN to stay in print for the 2010 election season. Fox News will expose this, hence the increase in ratings for Fox.
4. The White House will send the liberal attack machine to destroy Fox News. Fox News will nullify this effort by exposing it. Obama will lose further creditability with the US public and be compared to Nixon. Many pawn-level White House staffers will be fired in an effort to repair the public’s trust.
5. Drudge Report will launch a conservative newspaper nation-wide. It will debut utilizing Twitter-like technology and formatted for any kind of portable device. The paper version will be smaller in size, less bulky and easier to carry in a folio. This “short and sweet” newspaper will largely be main highlights of static news. The online version will provide more in-depth and dynamic coverage of stories. USA Today subscriptions will be hit hard.
6. Fox News will soften its tone after the elections of 2010 in an effort to appeal to the CNN crowd.
7. The Fox News Show, Hannity will become more “centrist” falling in line with the O’Reilly Factor.  Sean Hannity will become less vocal on Conservative ideals to keep Liberals from being scared away.
8. The only Fox News shows that will remain creditable to the Conservative cause will be Glen Beck and Greta Van Susteren.  Greta Van Susteren is not a Conservative voice, but will remain fair and balanced to all sides of the political spectrum.

Technology:

1. Enterprise-level companies will continue Windows 7 adoption. Fiscal constraints will make the adoption less of priority for many organizations, though.
2. The Windows Mobile platform will not grow despite bigger marketing efforts by Microsoft.
3. More details of the Google Android Operating System will emerge. Smaller businesses will delay Windows 7 purchases in lieu of adopting Google services throughout their offices. Cheap and/or free makes a great business investment.

Religion:

1. Americans will become sickened by large churches, which tend to mirror the politics of large government.  Therefore, large mega-churches around the country will have decreased attendance.
2. Many Christians will long for a more personal approach to church.  New smaller churches will emerge from the scene.
3. Pentecostal-style and Christian fundamentalist churches will emerge and grow.
4. The largest portion of new Christian converts will be young people in their twenties.  They will be disheartened by the lies of government and seek something else larger than themselves for guidance.
5. Jesus will replace Obama as the Messiah for many young people.

A reminder of what Inalienable means:

This is a new year, this is new day, to rise shine, lift up your eyes

This is a new year, this is a new day to rise shine, and point the way to God’s great life

Where hope can hold the hand of sorrow and we can walk into tomorrow

Where peace is found in troubled days and the joy of Jesus carries pain

– Lyrics “New Year” by Charlie Hall. Release on the CD “The Bright Sadness“

Oops. They did it again. America released enemy combatant al Qaeda members from Guantanamo and they tried to kill more Americans. If you missed the in-depth coverage from our elite state media, two terrorists released back in November 2007 were behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up the Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. They have been identified as Guantanamo prisoner #333, Muhamad Attik al-Harbi, and prisoner #372, Said Ali Shari. Our glorious government agreed to release the men after Saudi Arabia accepted them into “art therapy rehab.”

How stupid. Those art schools are full of liberal hippies. Thats like sending a pig into a river of mud.

Even more idiotic is the assumption that closing Guantanamo will keep America safer. Sending enemy combatants back to their terrorist soil will only ignite their efforts to cause harm to Americans by making them survivors of so-called American torture. They will regroup, reload and return to kill. Evidently, terrorists in Yemen do not honor Obama’s world citizenship. Terrorists do not get chill up their legs when hearing Obama speak, either.

How many Americans will die before the Obama administration acknowledges that we are at war? It will be many. The evidence can be seen in his commandment to his government pawns:

I’ve directed my national security team to keep up the pressure on those who would attack our country.

No, Mr. President. Do not put pressure on our enemies! We don’t know what that means, but don’t do it! Sounds too much like torture to me!

Wait a minute. If our security team can contact and put pressure on those who would attack us; then, why are they not locked up somewhere? Why are we allowing potential attackers to continue being a threat to America? That sounds like a security breach to me.

Obama will not get serious about security in the US until many Americans die. Terrorists will continue to attack the US until they send a clear answer to Obama. “Apology accepted, Mr. President.”

Update: Dick Cheney comments on Obama’s refusal to acknowledge we are at war with terrorists.

[W]e are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe.  Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war?  It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office.  It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation — the restructuring of American society.

Update:  Dianne Feinstein:  Quantanamo prisoners should not be released.

Guantanamo detainees should not be released to Yemen at this time.

Stripping is not just for small clubs in the outskirts of town anymore. Expect to strip for your trip sometime soon in the full-body imaging machines pilot testing in the US and Europe. The Christmas day attempt to blow up a plane will be the catalyst that triggers mandatory use of full-body imaging. Sadly, many Americans will mindlessly surrender their own privacy for the sake of security. Enter soft tyranny.

Americans would resist the mandatory use of these scanners if they truly knew the revealing nature of these scanners. For instance, how many of us would stand in a room and strip completely naked in front of a mirror? Not many. Why then would we stand in a scanner that does practically the same thing? We wouldn’t. Would we allow someone to take pictures of our children naked? No way. Then, don’t let your kids get in those full-body scanners. That is a pedophiles dream.

The demonstration images presented to the public reveal the primary problem with the system. It is adjustable. A survey of different demonstration images for the technology shows the depth at which these scanners can go for scanning. The depths can be increased or decreased according to the images desired. This is an intrinsic function of the machines themselves. X-Ray machines used at your local physician office can be adjusted to the needs of the doctor. Scanning machines used in airports can be adjusted likewise.

Take the Christmas Day underwear bomber as an example. If you wanted to catch another underwear bomber, you would need to scan past the fabric of the underwear. The TSA and other European imaging solutions do not show the capability to reveal a tube of plastic explosives but exclude a talliwacker from view. Guess what is behind that underwear? Your privacy rights.

There is no real way to validate what level of scanning is being done by the TSA. Example images on placards at the airport only show what the government want normal people and potential terrorists to see. If terrorists knew exactly how much scanning was occurring, they could adapt likewise. Therefore, it is implausible to expect the TSA to be honest about how high the scanning level is set. In effect, the TSA will feed the general public propaganda to stop the enemy from being more diligent in their stealth.

Another huge problem with the scanning is the government’s claims that all images are destroyed from memory immediately. If this was true, then why does the system have to save ANY images at all? Are the scans of suitcases going across the conveyor belt recorded? No. Then, why should scans of naked bodies be saved for any reason? It shouldn’t. There should not be any image saving abilities built into the machines.

Full body scanning is not the only way to detect bomb materials.  What about the CAMS device that is custom made to detect PETN?  Count on a government agency to do the wrong thing for the wrong reason.  I am not of the mindset that our government purposely planted the bomber to force this scanning upon the American people.  But, it is wise to keep an eye on all possibilities when it comes to government.

Remember, unless you are willing to get naked at the airport, stay out of the full body scanners. A common dream for people is to show up naked at school or a party. You can guarantee that nightmare will come true when you step into that machine.

Yes, there is some brief violation of privacy with a full-body scan, Rep. Peter King, the top Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, told Face the Nation. But on the other hand, if we can save thousands of lives, to me, we have to make that decision, and we have to come down on the side of saving thousands of lives.

Great news from the war against terror today. Several top al Qaeda leaders were supposedly sent to virgin-turbin land in the country of Yemen. The 30 or so were taken out in two attacks by US pilot-less drones. This is an unexpected gift for victims of the Fort Hood shooting earlier this year. One of those who perished in the attacks was Anwar al Awkali, the American imam who preached to the Fort Hood killer, US. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

The White House did not deny the claim that US drones were the instruments of death in Yemen. I assume any news outside of Afghanistan success will be downplayed. This is an overseas contingency operation that must be orchestrated and controlled. The US can not be made to appear strong or war-like since that would offend those who want to kill Americans.

When the script don’t fit, the White House must acquit. You know, war is peace and peace is war.
