One expert estimates that 129 million people, 68% of those who buy health insurance, will lose their plan by the end of 2014 because of Obamacare.
Finding out what’s in it: One expert estimates that 129 million people, 68% of those who buy health insurance, will lose their plan by the end of 2014 because of Obamacare.
I am sure all those people will be grateful to Obama and the Democrats for standing strong and shutting down the government rather than allow any changes to this law.
Note: I keep repeating this point about the government shutdown because it is important to remember the real cause of that shutdown: The Republicans objected to Obamacare and the Democrats endorsed it. We mustn’t forget this very fundamental fact as we watch Obamacare roll over the country like a bulldozer.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

And in the wake of the Bulldozer the brave new progressive world will be built.
Is the abandonment of the Constitution the rubble that the new world will be built upon? And the people perpetrating this new paradigm truly believe that they are doing the best works of their lives.
Sick, sick, sick.
I for one welcome our new overlords.
I can see that all they do is for our best wishes and well being.
They offer everything and ask so little in return how could they be wrong?
“Like a bulldozer”? Gee, that implies construction. This is pure destruction. It is more like a thermonuclear device gone wrong.
“How could they be wrong?” (I know, that was said with much sarcasm, but …) Funny you should ask.
I have a new theory about the intelligentsia that is running this country, and this theory points out how they could be wrong. I call it the Aristotle Syndrome. Aristotle (and Plato, and others of their time) believed that because he was so smart, all he had to do was sit and think about something to figure it out. There was the other popular thought at the time that experimentation was necessary to prove that the thinking was right, but this philosophy was overruled by the Aristotelian intelligentsia. Thus, for two millennia, mankind thought that heavier objects fell faster in proportion to their weight (and other misgivings). And that was perhaps the best work of his life. We lost a couple of millennia of scientific and technological progress because of such thinking. Thus, ‘very smart’ people can easily fool themselves into thinking that they are right when they are, in reality, very wrong.
The modern ruling intelligentsia believes similarly. They think of a solution (e.g. Keynesian Economics) and if it doesn’t work when they apply it, they reason that the failure is because not enough was applied, because the theory *must* be right — after all, they thought of it, and they are very smart. One of the latest examples of this is the recent failed stimulus plan. When $800 billion didn’t improve the economy, they declared that they needed another $50 billion in order for it to work (i.e. they missed it by 6%). It is ironic, however, that this same intelligentsia claims to be scientific when they deny the evidence before their very eyes (‘who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?’). We are losing our future financial and sociological well being due to such thinking.
I know that this new theory of mine is true, because I thought of it, and I am very smart.
I like it! ’tis great!
