appears to be pre-planned and orchestrated by ruling elites as a diversion to drown out people’s feelings of anger — in the U.K., but I would bet in Germany and other countries as well.

Why the hell are we even sanctioning Syria when it was our military that invaded them and propped up Al Qaida and Isis to overthrow Syria's elected government? Arrogance and hubris thy name is America and its f'cking poodles.

British Marines Seize Oil Tanker Headed For Syria In "Aggressive" Operation

A huge development Thursday regarding enforcement of Iran sanctions and the West's economic war on both Damascus and Tehran: British Royal Marines seized an oil tanker in Gibraltar off Spain's southern coast while it was en route to Syria in what's being called an unprecedented and aggressive move to enforce EU sanctions.

As critics of the West's sanctions policy on Syria are noting: the European Union has for years allowed advanced weaponry to flow into the hands of anti-Assad jihadists, but it will act swiftly to block vital oil access to the war-torn and starved population.

Since the war in Syria started, the sickening pattern has been this: western and gulf weapons pour into Syria's proxy war, refugees flee the resulting chaos, sanctions strangle the common people further, and refugees who ultimately return then face the West's renewed slow economic strangulation of the war-torn country.

And we predicted before: the White House still fundamentally prioritizes weakening Syria as crucial in its ultimate goal of regime change in Tehran. In this sense, the "long war" for Syria could merely be in its middle phase, with the waters in both the East Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf set to continue heating up.

Syrians wait for days to get gas because of our sanctions on Syria and even though they have their own oil fields. But we're sitting on them just because no one will stop us from turning one country after another into a sh*thole including this one.

one of which I referenced earlier this afternoon.

Will wait to post the Fox News Business Channel video of RK with MB--until next week. For now, will post the original Tweet that I saw in the Dore video, last night.

Both are flat-out deceptive and incorrect. (Being polite!)

Important: Warren & Sanders plan allows supplemental insurance after providing great healthcare through Medicare including dental and vision. So if people really wanted services in addition, they still have that option. Lets not fall into the media trap. https://t.co/bFL3EIyJJG

SEC. 107. PROHIBITION AGAINST DUPLICATING COVERAGE.

(a) In General. Beginning on the effective date described in section 106(a), it shall be unlawful for—

(1) a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act; or

(2) an employer to provide benefits for an employee, former employee, or the dependents of an employee or former employee that duplicate the benefits provided under this Act.

Now, here's the third paragraph of this section, that RK must be referring to,

(b) Construction. Nothing in this Act shall be construed as prohibiting the sale of health insurance coverage for any additional benefits not covered by this Act, including additional benefits that an employer may provide to employees or their dependents, or to former employees or their dependents.

Again, according to both UMFA Bills, all medical services, to include prescription medicines--as well as dental, vision, hearing, and, even long-term care--are to be covered.

When I've seen Bernie pressed on this point, his answer is always that supplemental insurance for 'cosmetic' procedures will be permissable. I assume, because it's the only thing left. (meaning--not covered)

This statement is 'copied and pasted' directly from Bernie's Bill. Obviously, RK is either unaware of what's actually in the bill, or, he's intentionally attempting to mislead. (Will let Everyone decide for themselves, which it is.)

Wow! Couldn't believe this line - "Lets not fall into the media trap."

So, it's a media 'trap' if a Presidential Candidate is asked to explain his UMFA proposal? Truly, I don't even know how to process that statement.

Anyhoo, it's my intention sometime in the next several weeks to ask RK 'what specific kind of medical services' can the aforementioned 'supplemental insurance' cover?

I'll report, if my Tweet is answered. (Not gonna hold my breath, though. )

We had a fun trip to a fantastic Aquarium earlier today, which has almost become a tradition for us. (It, or a zoo.)

Have a nice long weekend, Everyone!
