Meeshaw ‘reported’

The Post & Email is in receipt of a letter signed by Jill T. Nagamine, Deputy Attorney General of the State of Hawaii, which affirms her email early last month to our Editor-in-Chief, Mr. John Charlton, stating that her office will not or cannot corroborate any of the Department of Health’s public statements regarding the alleged birth of Barack Hussein Obama in Hawaii.

…

The office of the attorney general has now contradicted in a formal letter the content of an email sent by Janice Okubo, Public Information Officer at the Hawaii Department of Health, in which she responded to a student researcher that the attorney general, Mark Bennett, “had reviewed and approved” Dr. Fukino’s July 27 statement:

The letter in question shows that the AG in no way contradicts the statement made by Dr Fukino that Obama was born in Hawaii and a natural born citizen. Shoddy ‘reporting’ indeed… So much for relying on the P&E

Donald Berwick, Obama’s rumored pick to run Medicare has been an outspoken proponent of health care for all. As such, it should not come as a surprise that some have already started to try to swift-boat him. First, they reference a speech in which he outlined how the life expectancy of a patience is reliably tested by the color of the patient’s skin. Secondly, when Berwick wrote an ‘extremist’ article on changing the balance of power in healthcare, they forgot to report what Berwick’s extremist change really was. Thus leaving the reader with a false suggestion that the proposal was indeed ‘extremist’ and objectionable.

A new definition. My proposed definition of “patient-centered care” is this:

The experience (to the extent the informed, individual patient desires it) of transparency, individualization, recognition, respect, dignity, and choice in all matters, without exception, related to one’s person, circumstances, and relationships in health care.

A true radical extremist. Patient focused, centered health care… At best this is an example of shoddy reporting.

The 2008 speech:

At a 2008 Families USA conference speech documented by Health Beat, a healthcare industry blog, Berwick slammed the U.S. health-care system as “bloated” and “broken.”

The blog points out Berwick noted, “There’s a myth that American healthcare is the best in the world.”

“It’s not,” he continued. “It’s not even close.”

“It’s thought to be the best because we have the most health care,” Berwick stated. However, he said, “40 percent of the care that Americans actually need is not received. … Cost is the barrier.

“Here is a question I often ask my students,” added Berwick. “When you meet a new patient, what is the one test that you could do that would tell you how long that patient is likely to live?

“Typically, students answer: ‘Ask them if they smoke,’ or ‘Test their blood sugar.’

“No,” Berwick said. “Just look at the color of their skin.”

In a paper titled What ‘Patient-Centered’ Should Mean: Confessions Of An Extremist, Berwick describes a new view of quality care. The following press release describes the paper in question, published in “Health Affairs”. In the paper Berwick argues for a ‘radical transfer of power’.  So what did Berwick propose that was so ‘radical’

A new definition. My proposed definition of “patient-centered care” is this:

The experience (to the extent the informed, individual patient desires it) of transparency, individualization, recognition, respect, dignity, and choice in all matters, without exception, related to one’s person, circumstances, and relationships in health care.

So why did Worldnet Daily state that they had reviewed the paper and mentioned that Berwick argued for a radical transfer of power, without really describing what Berwick meant by that? To the average reader this would have left the suggestion that Berwick was proposing some take over of health care by the government. Is that the kind of reporting we should accept? Omission of facts is as shoddy a kind of reporting as making up facts.

I say: shame on you… Your readers should expect more from your ‘researchers’ and ‘reporters’. I certainly would.

Ethics Report Faults Ex-Congressman: Nathan Deal, a former congressman who is running for Georgia governor, resigned from the House last week in a move that seemed certain to end an ethics investigation that could have caused him political embarrassment.

But on Monday, the Office of Congressional Ethics released its report anyway, concluding that Mr. Deal appeared to have improperly used his office staff to pressure Georgia officials to continue a state vehicle inspection program that generated hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for his family’s auto salvage business.

INDICTMENT

THE GRAND JURY CHARGES THAT:

GENERAL ALLEGATIONS At all relevant times described herein, there existed an organization known as the: “HUTAREE”, based in Lenawee County Michigan, which is an anti-government extremist organization which advocates violence against local, state, and Federal law enforcement.

The defendants, DAVID BRIAN STONE, a.k.a. “RD,” a.k.a. “Joe Stonewall,” a.k.a. “Captain Hutaree,” DAVID BRIAN STONE, JR., a.k.a. “Junior,” JOSHUA MATTHEW STONE, a.k.a. “Josh,” TINA MAE STONE, JOSHUA JOHN CLOUGH, a.k.a “Azzurlin,”a.k.a. “Az,” a.k.a. “Mouse,” a.k.a. “Jason Z. Charles,” MICHAEL DAVID MEEKS, a.k.a. “Mikey,” THOMAS WILLIAM PIATEK, KRISTOPHER T. SICKLES, a.k.a. “Pale Horse,” JACOB J. WARD, a.k.a. “Jake,” a.k.a. “Nate,” a.k.a. “Guhighllo,” and others known and unknown to the Grand Jury, are members of the HUTAREE. Some HUTAREE members are identifiable by their tiger stripe camouflage uniforms with a distinct shoulder patch which contains a black cross, two brown vertical pillars which form the letter “H” in combination with the black cross, two red spears, a brown V shape at the base of the cross symbolizing the supporting hands of the HUTAREE, and the initials “CCR.”

The HUTAREE’s enemies include state and local law enforcement, who are deemed “footsoldiers” of the Federal government, Federal law enforcement agencies and employees, participants in the “New World Order,” and anyone who does not share in the HUTAREE’s beliefs. Since at least 2008, the HUTAREE has been meeting regularly to conduct military-style training in Lenawee County, located in the Eastern District of Michigan, and elsewhere. The purpose of this training has been to plan and prepare for the impending war with the HUTAREE’s enemies. As used herein, the term “weapon of mass destruction” has the meaning set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 2332a(c)(2), including any destructive device as defined in Title 18, United States Code, Section 921.
