Health Care, Fascism, and Dallas/Texas

205.188.117.66

It occurred to me recently that so many things are connected, and something that you looked at many times in the past, today has a totally different connotation, meaning.

We know that the Bushes are The Power in our country, those that are moving us, the USA and the rest of the world, into the "New World Order", into fascism. And as above, so below, like in Texas. Texas is the Bushes home base, where they grew their bank of money, through oil, and that stuff that was transferred at the Zapata oil rigs.

I the United States is the seat of World Fascist power, then Texas is the seat of Fascist State power. And what do you know, you put a circle around the Lone Star, and shazam, we see a PENTAGRAM!

What state has the highest number of executions? Texas.

What city has the highest crime rate of the largest cities in the US? Texas.

Highest number of prisons?

Lowest, or near low children's education rating?

The state with the biggest Corporation "Bankrupcy" (Enron)
in the History of the United States?

You get the message.

What I am doing in Dallas is to run for political office, using this opportunity of the campaign platform to gain "notariety", public respect, by effectively addressing corrupt local politicians, in this case, Mayor Laura Miller (a Jeckyl/Hyde she is.) Also, I address issues that are of local and national importance, like Health Care, Prescription Drugs, and Fascism.

The speech below was given this past Tuesday in the Book Depository, where the Dallas County Commissioners Court convenes. In the speech I quoted Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is now a champion speaking out against its evils.

I think you'll like the speech. Please take the time.

Thanks.

Protecting The Health of Dallas County Inmates


Presented By Rich Sheridan To The Dallas County Commissioner’s Court

March 22, 2005

My name is Rich Sheridan. I’m a licensed professional engineer in New York, and a candidate for Dallas City Council. I have lived in Dallas and surrounding communities for about 24 years. I have worked for local firms such as Frito-Lay, Celanese, and Texas Instruments. I have appeared many times before this court and before the Dallas City Council on matters of importance to city and county residents.

The subject today, protecting inmate health, is close to home to me for a number of reasons. I presently have a close relative in a county jail. I myself have experienced Dallas and Denton County jails, and Addison’s jail…over the last 19 years. I am 58 years old with no health or dental insurance and I cannot afford health care. This has been going on with me for about 20 years. So how have I survived? I survived by looking, looking for other ways. In my search I believe I found two things. First, the primary cause of our health care problems, and other problems in our country. Second, some good solutions, low cost solutions.

The Problem

Since this is a special time of the year for me and many other Dallas residents, I will try to follow the example of a special man who came before us who said some very important words to us.

When I was I child I loved horror movies, especially Frankenstein and the Werewolf. As hard as it may seem today, with all the special effects, those 1950s monsters use to scare us. I can remember getting excited with the rest of the audience when the Werewolf man would change from a man to a monster Werewolf. We would be yelling to the victims on the screen to run, run away, but most would just stand there frozen all screaming, or fainted on the floor. When the transformation was complete there stood or lay the victim ready to be devoured.

We have a monster among us today which has been going through a transformation, which is not yet complete. Some have recognized it as a monster early on but their concerns were dismissed. Today, a lot more people recognize it, but they still represent the minority.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., John F. Kennedy’s nephew, is one of the most outspoken people who is passionately crusading throughout America and writing books to wake people up to the monster among us. What is this monster? It’s Fascism.

"While communism is the control of business by government, fascism is the control of government by business," he writes. "My American Heritage Dictionary defines fascism as ‘a system of government that exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of government and business leadership together.' ” “The biggest threat to democracy is corporate power,” says Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.



Our health crisis today is the result of Fascism, which is a monopolistist (non-free trade) socio-economic system. Fascism is causing health care costs and prescription drug costs to now be beyond the reach of too many Americans and immigrants to our country. Millions of people are sick and dying because of corporate greed, and federal government complicity. Millions of peoples’ budgets are being stretched to the limit, including people’s ability to bear with the stress of it all. Many are becoming more and more fed up with the Federal Government whose responsibility it is to protect us from monopolistic practices

When the term 'corporation' was created years ago it was intended to denote a company that would be 'granted' the right to limited liability in return for serving the greater public good. Nowadays, corporations control the political process, the information we get in the media, prescriptions drugs, the very genetics of the food we eat, the morals we pass on to our children, our ability to communicate, and they even topple governments when it suits them. These corporations are run by CEOs, considered by more and more people to be the Chief Evil Officers,

Some Good Solutions/Medicines

When I say solutions, I don’t mean some snake oil being sold off the back of a wagon from some carpetbagger from the north. Before pharmaceuticals existed, which was about 100 years ago, mankind depended for centuries on natural remedies found in nature. Today we are seeing a resurgence of the use of these remedies. The fast growing Whole Foods chain of stores (there are other independent Health food stores throughout the metroplex) is an increasing popular supplier of natural or alternative remedies. Whole Foods’ success is a clear sign that more and more people are getting away from prescription drugs and going back to natural alternative medicines. Cornell Medical School and The Albert Einstein School of Medicine, both in New York, have growing alternative medicine departments.

I have before me the three things I take each day, my medicines: A multi-vitamin, some colloidal silver, and some food grade hydrogen peroxide. I take these for prevention, to protect myself from disease. I spend about $50 a year on these medicines. I have been doing this for about 9 years. I am hardly ever sick. I did come down with the flu recently (I was smoking – it’s on again – off again with me - shouldn’t do it because it lowers my immune system, and possibly worse), and upped the dosages. The flu went away. I had a badly abscessed tooth recently, and both externally to the tooth, and internally to my body, I applied the colloidal silver and food grade hydrogen peroxide. In 3 days the tooth was healed. No prescription drugs. It cost me less than $1 for the cure.

There are many inmates in county jails who are aware of alternative medicines and who would welcome their availability. These remedies would offer Dallas County a tremendous savings over conventional medicines and eliminate the much higher cost of treating a sick person. Any county legal concerns can be covered with a signed release if this is deemed necessary. I’d sign it in a minute but I don’t expect to be going back to county soon.

I hope the county seriously looks into this in the very near future.

God Bless Our County, God Bless Judge Keliher and Our County Commissioners for the work you do for we the people.

Sincerely,
