Congress Wants to Punish those who act in a Responsible Manner
Posted on April 12th, 2007 by Kemp
Congress is looking at passing legislation that will give taxpayer money to bail out individuals who took on subprime loans. I fail to see how someone spending beyond their means and overleveraging should be entitled to the tax receipts taken from individuals who took the steps necessary to avoid unreasonable financial agreements. There should be no bail out. If lenders were fraudulent, yes they should be punished, but individuals who overextended do not deserve money from their neighbors’ pockets.
Read about what is being proposed here.

The misplaced A, B, C’s of “DESIGNED TO HARM”. 4/24/07
SUMMARY.
In 2007 duplicated is the U.S. Senate’s stated Department of Defense (DOD) “experiments that were designed to harm” misplaced records? [6] This is by the in 2006 established CIVILIAN Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). [8] Under its “NATIONAL SECURITY MISSIONS” is the advancement of the DOD Project 112, SHAD “Biomedical” lessons learned. [7] BARDA, under the present war cover, also lacks the oversight and accountability of the past wars DOD Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD) experiment. That it “”WAS NECESSARY “TO CONCEAL THESE ACTIVITIES FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN GENERAL,” BECAUSE PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE “UNETHICAL AND ILLICIT ACTIVITIES WOULD HAVE SERIOUS REPERCUSSIONS IN POLITICAL AND DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES AND WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ITS MISSION.”" says it all!! U.S. Supreme Court STANLEY military experiments case, Footnote 4 page 688. [3]
A. Each “designed to harm” project completes the Research and Development (R&D) process. Prior R&D is reviewed, e.g., Project SHAD. The resulting Scope of Work defines what each experiment is “designed” to accomplish. The how, where, when and who is identified.
B. The conducted RESEARCH cause and effects are closely followed and also recorded.
C. From the results are DEVELOPED safe production, in-the-field use, treatment and protection.
AT THE TIME, AND LONG AFTER THESE PROJECTS ARE OUT-OF-DATE, THIS EXPERIMENT REVEALING CAUSE AND EFFECTS ARE NOT IN A SUBJECT’S MEDICAL HISTORY. Their resulting disabilities are not in the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) “schedule of ratings for disabilities”. [5] This Veterans Court Chief Judge’s “may not review” [5] cause and effects are not available for past, present and future veteran diagnosis and treatment: 1. By civilian HMO and VA Physicians’! 2. For each group’s long term “to harm” follow up, that would alert the victims. This is the U.S. Senate Report’s from 1944, 63 YEARS of lost, individual and group benefiting lessons learned! Thereby, lost is treatment for the original and additional injuries. And 3. For use as evidence during U.S. Executive (DOD & VA) and Judicial Branch processes! The subjects’ never the wiser become, e.g., Congress’s recent “Veterans Right to Know Act” failures.
CHRONOLOGY.
H.R. 4259 [109th]: Veterans Right to Know Act to establish the Veterans’ Right to Know Commission bill was proposed in the 2005 & 2006 Congresses. At the end of each session all proposed bills that haven’t passed are cleared from the books. This bill never became law.
The from 1944 DOD “designed to harm” experiments are documented as conducted on “hundreds of thousands” by the 1994 U.S. SENATE REPORT! [6] The REPORT’s NOTES (No.’s 72, 168 & 169) cite, “The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code, Human Rights in Human Experimentation.” Not addressed by the U.S. Congress and U.S. Courts are the many conducted in direct disobedience of the DOD Secretary’s 1953 ‘Nuremberg’ order; “The Nazi Doctors” pages 343-345. [2] With the Secretary’s of all U.S. Military Services and the DOD R&D Board then known! This ignored order was TOP SECRET until 1975, 22 YEARS LATER. The subjects by its “need to know” are prevented from finding out. The 1994 Report noted that rights be restored. To-date, in 2007, not done!
“The court may not review the schedule of ratings for disabilities or the policies underlying the schedule.”, i.e., the needed for treatment “designed to harm” policies with their causes and effects! [6] The Veterans Court Chief Judge’s statement during 17-18 Oct. 1994. [5] His severely “may not review” restricted is a Congress’s 12/18/88 established Legislative ‘no teeth’ Article I Court. [9] Their oversight and accountability response to the 6/25/87 STANLEY experiment. One of the Judicial Branch Article III U.S. Supreme Court decisions on: 1. The DOD STANLEY 1953 order disobeyed 1958 confirming Congress is responsible Case. [3] And 2. The 1950 FERES Case that prevents recourse on DOD “harm” as “incident” to service. [1] Made very clear is that UNLESS CONGRESS CHANGES IT, BY REASON OF MILITARY SERVICE VETERANS’ LOST ARE PRIOR TO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! They are given to convicted rapists and murderers. [4] These cases assume that the DOD and VA “disabilities” coverage provides remedy. Not addressed is the withheld R&D “designed to harm” identifying, needed for treatment evidence! Congress’s 12 December 1974 Privacy Act censored the names of all injury witnesses from surviving and future service records. The 12 July 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire destroyed “to harm” service records.
Will BARDA’s needed for treatment “NATIONAL SECURITY” evidence be part of YOUR Medical History?
A politically contrived justice denied for the greater good, end justifies the deliberate “to harm” means. Make the checks and balances within and between our branches of government work! Only when you hold your members in the U.S. Congress responsible will this happen!
