  1. POLICE STATE AMERICA on DOJ: Defendant Has No Standing To Oppose Use of Phone Records · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not just a provocative Slashdot Discussion Title... But the horrible inevitability you live in today.

    Yes. Yes.

    Private medical insurers are the MPAA/RIAA of American "health care" - read "illness care".

    It isn't better, if the law demands you PAY a commercial entity, for services they will never render.

    "...but I seriously had no idea it would be this bad."

    How would you design a Healthcare Extortion Racket?

    "New York State's healthcare plans range from Fidelis Care's 'Bronze' plan at $810.84 per month to $2554.71 per month for something I didn't bother to look up because if I had $2500+ a month to spend on doctors, I'd buy a doctor and have him/her live with me and dole out pills like I was Michael Jackson. The deductibles - the amount you pay out of pocket every year before you the insurer has to give you anything at all - are outrageously high. Fidelis Care Bronze has a $3000/year deductible per person. I'm in pretty good health; it's a rare year I spend that much on doctors. After the $3000/year deductible, they pay 50% of your bills. So if you rack up $5000/year in medical bills, you pay $4000 and they pay $1000. Pretty damned crappy."

    Repeat, from my JE.

    Allow me a MINOR correction. The Egyptians DO refer to a period wherein a nation is held captive. That is the Egyptian people, themselves captive, under the Hyksos. Most of the record of Hyksos coming and going is unclear. This was in a time corresponding with Mycenae and Troy. One would assume it was in Hyksos time that the supposed "bondage in Egypt" occured.

    No coherent theory that corresponds these events exists, to my knowledge, other than correlation and speculation.

    Impossible. Matrilinear inheritance of Jewishness was an invention of the Romans, imposed on Judea and Samaria, in a time half-again more distant from that of Pharoah, as we are from Caesar.

    Firstly, this was done by Rome to destroy the strong tribal affiliation among the conquered peoples. Secondly, it was to remove the possibility of citizenship for the sons of Romans, sired in conquered Judea. These were codified into law, by Pharisees, etc.

    There is also the entire question of Egypt, which has never been borne out by any contemporary record, other than the Talmud/Old Testament assertions. Nothing Egypt's record has any correspondence to the bondage of a nation, or its release/escape. Nor the various Mycenaean, Babylonian or other peripherals. Archaeology and physical evidence demonstrate that the great monolithic works were NOT built by slaves - but organised contract labour. This is likely, native Egyptian story - retold by one segment of the eastern conquered people, with an oral tradition reconciled as part of the Torah, during the Babylonian period - crafted into a deliverance metaphor, relating to their condition in Mesopotamia at the time.

    Etymology? "Moses" is even an Egyptian name. "Arab"? "In Hebrew the words arav and aravah literally mean "desert" or "steppe". In the Hebrew Bible the latter feminine form is used exclusively for the Arabah, a region associated with the Nabateans, who spoke Arabic."

    And now? The recent Genetic discovery that Ashkinazim mitochondrial DNA excludes an origin in "the holy land", and places the maternal line of ancestry in a group with modern Italians.

    The manifest Irony here is that the Palestinian people are the genetic and estate inheritors from the Judean people of biblical times - while the great majority of Israeli Jews are on the WRONG side of Masada, being descendents of Roman Legions, not Macabees.
