Jesse Jackson: States Are ‘Undermining the Right to Vote' With For-Profit Prisons

"Most of these states now, they're using privatized jails for two purposes: one, to disenfranchise voters, because once you’ve been to jail it’s more difficult to vote. And two, it’s a profit-making industry. So that, if you’re in jail “x” number of days, the Corrections Corporation of America gets paid. They must be guaranteed 90 percent occupancy. Jail becomes a daycare center or a homeless shelter for so many people. It’s a profit-making industry -- jails are for profit. And so the growth of the jail industry and also in many places, the jail labor force, undermines the domestic labor force.

Graying America, Health-Care Overhaul Boosts Medical Properties

http://www.nasdaq.com/article/graying-america-healthcare-overhaul-boosts-medical-properties-20150127-00875

"The incredible facts are these:
1. In construction a whopping 75% of prices are related to costs for capital. Meaning that if we buy a new $100,000 home, $75,000 is lost to banks and other financiers.
2. When we buy the house with a mortgage, we will not only pay $100,000 for the house, but an additional $150,000 in interest over 30 years.

3. So we pay a total of $250,000 for a house that actually costs no more than $25,000 to build."

 https://realcurrencies.wordpress.com/2012/04/16/usury-why-we-dont-build-cathedrals-these-days/

 ???????

Or did religious orders borrow the money from money lenders to build cathedrals?or donations from the congregation, etc.? or the archbishops?

"When Pope Innocent III notified the archbishop and cathedral canons of Rouen (after internal quarreling in 1198) that each would have to allocate equally a part of their income to restore the cathedral, this regulation became generally valid. The law was first entered in the so-called Compilatio IV of Johannes Teutonicus in AD 1216, and then in the Liber Extra of Pope Gregory IX in 1234."

How Much More GDP "Growth" Will Be Due To Obamacare?

Recent data show an acceleration in spending growth in federal health spending programs, though this appears to be due mainly to the coverage expansion resulting from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) rather than increasing cost growth

95 percent of Americans in the late-eighteenth century were farm or village people; their townships were commonly homogeneous by ethnicity and faith; and their families were patriarchal.

Pennsylvania’s Declaration of Rights, for example, urged “laws for the encouragement of virtue, and prevention of vice and immorality,”

Letter to John Taylor Thomas Jefferson Monticello May 28, 1816

Funding I consider as limited, rightfully, to a redemption of the debt within the lives of a majority of the generation contracting it; every generation coming equally, by the laws of the Creator of the world, to the free possession of the earth he made for their subsistence, unincumbered by their predecessors, who, like them, were but tenants for life.
***
And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

Austin to Holley

Austin to Mrs. Mary Austin Holley 1 

New Orleans, August 21, 1835. 
My Dear Cousin, 

I am, as you will see by my date, once more in the land of my birth, and 
of freedom — a word I can well appreciate. I shall leave here in a day 
or two for Texas. I wished to have taken a trip up the river, and thence 
to the north but shall have to defer it until spring. I have been so long 
absent from home, that my affairs there are behind hand, and require my 
attention. 

The situation of Texas is daily becoming more and more interesting, so 
much so, that I doubt whether the Government of the United States, or that 
of Mexico, can much longer look on with indifference, or inaction. It is 
very evident that the best interests of the United States require that Texas 
should be effectually, and fully, Americanized — that is — settled by a popu- 
lation that will harmonize with their neighbors on the East, in language, 
political principles, common origin, sympathy, and even interest. Texas 

x Copy by Mrs. Holley. 



102 THE AUSTIN PAPERS 

must be a slave country. It is no longer a matter of doubt. The interest 
of Louisiana requires that it should be, a population of fanatical aboli- 
tionists in Texas would have a very pernicious and dangerous influence on 
the overgrown slave population of that state. Texas must, and ought to 
become an out work on the west, as Alabama and Florida are on the East, 
to defend the key of the western world — the mouths of the Mississippi. 
Being fully Americanized under the Mexican flag, would be the same thing 
in effect, and ultimate result, as coming under the United States Flag. A 
gentle breeze shakes off a ripe peach. Can it be supposed that the violent 
political convulsions of Mexico will not shake off Texas so soon as it is 
ripe enough to fall All that is now wanting is a great immigration of 
good and efficient families, this fall and winter. Should we get such an 
emigration, especially from the western states — all is done — the peach 
will be ripe. Under this view: and it is a correct one, every man of influ- 
ence in the western States, who has the true interests of his country at heart, 
ought to use every possible exertion to induce such an immigration. They 
can get lands; now is the accepted time, and none too soon. The door 
is still open for them to come in legally. The government of Mexico can 
not complain — it has invited immigration. 

Gen: Sant[a] Anna told me he should visit Texas next month — as a friend. 
His visit is uncertain — his friendship much more so. We must rely on our- 
selves, and prepare for the worst. A large immigration will prepare us, 
give us strength, resources, everything. I do not know what may be the 
state of public feeling in Texas, but presume they mean to avoid all collision 
with Mexico if possible to do so, and be also ready to repel attacks should 
they come. This is my opinion. A great immigration from Kentucky, 
Tennessee etc, each man with his rifle or musket, would be of great use 
to us — very great indeed. If they go by sea, they must take passport from 
the Mexican Consul, comply with all the requisites of the law, and get 
legally into the country, so long as the door is legally open. Should it be 
closed it will then be time enough to force it open — if necessary. Prudence, 
and an observance of appearances must therefore be strictly attended to 
for the present. Here, I figure to myself, you start, and exclaim, "Dios 
mio; my cousin Stephen has become a very Mexican politician in hypoc- 
risy." not so; there is no hypocrisy about it. It is well known that my 
object has always been to fill up Texas with a north American population; 
and, besides, it may become a question of to be, or not to be. And in that 
event, the great law of nature — self preservation — operates, and supersedes 
all other laws. 

The cause of philanthrophy and liberty, also, will be promoted by 
Americanizing Texas. I am morally right, therefore, to do so by all pos- 
sible, honorable, means. 



THE AUSTIN PAPERS 103 

In all countries, one way or another, a few men rule society. If those 
few were convinced of the great benefits that would result to the western 
world by Americanizing Texas, they would exert their influence to promote 
that object, and in so doing use such arguments as would best effect it, 
without letting anything transpire in the public prints to alarm the Mexican 
Government, or place that of the United States in the awkward necessity 
of taking any steps, as a friend of Mexico, under the treaty etc. 

If there was any way of getting at it, I should like to know what the wise 
men of the United States think the people of Texas ought to do. The 
fact is, we must, and ought to become a part of the United States. Money 
should be no consideration. The political importance of Texas to the 
great Western world, from the influence it may one day have on Louisiana, 
is so great, that it can not fail to have due weight on all reflecting men, 
and on Gen Jackson and the Senate, in particular. The more the American 
population of Texas is increased, the more readily will the Mexican Gov- 
ernment give it up, also, the more the people of Texas seem to oppose a 
separation from Mexico, the less tenacious will they be to hold it. This 
seems paradoxical, but will cease to appear so when you consider that 
strange compound the Mexican character. If Texas insisted on separating, 
and it should be given up in consequence, it would appear as if they 
yielded to force, or fear, and their national pride would be roused. They 
are a strange people, and must be studied to be managed. They have high 
ideas of National dignity should it be openly attacked, but will sacrifice 
national dignity, and national interest too if it can be done in a still way, 
or so as not to arrest public attention. "Dios Castiga el escandolo mas 
que el crimen," (God punishes the exposure more than the crime) is their 
motto. This maxim influences their morals and their politics. I learned 
it when I was there in 1822, and I now believe that if I had not always 
kept it in view, and known the power which appearances have on them, even 
when they know they are deceived, I should never have succeeded, to the 
extent I have done in Americanizing Texas. 

To conclude — I wish a great immigration this fall and winter from 
Kentucky, Tennessee, every where, passports, or no passports, any how. 
For fourteen years I have had a hard time of it, but nothing shall daunt 
my courage or abate my exertions to complete the main object of my 
labors — to Americanize Texas. This fall, and winter, will fix our fate — a 
great immigration will settle the question. 

S F Austin.

Why buried treasure never loses its lustre

England at the time was the richest and most precociously centralised kingdom in the Latin West. But just as someone wearing diamonds in a dark back-alley is bound to attract the attention of muggers, so did the glitter of English wealth prove irresistible to Viking adventurers. In 1016, after decades spent trying to buy them off, Aethelred died exhausted and unlamented; by the end of the year, the Danes had seized the entire kingdom for themselves.

Since Obamacare, L.A. County ER visits show hospitals in 'state of flux'

Hmm ... maybe the explanation is that people would rather go to a private hospital than a public one ... so long as someone else is paying.

"The county's three large public hospitals, which historically have cared for many uninsured patients, recorded a 9% drop in such cases. At the same time, several private hospitals reported double-digit percentage increases in outpatient visits, the analysis found.

What the uneven and changing usage patterns mean — and whether they signal the beginning of a long-term rearrangement of how patients will seek treatment — is not yet clear."
