Abolish the FCC

     The FCC is not a legitimate form of government.  In a moral state, regulations in the economy do not exist.  The recent declaration by this abomination to try to destroy the Internet shows the imminent necessity to repeal the FCC.

For all liberty loving Internet users, I propose the following game plan:

(1) Put together a 300 page plus legislative bill that completely abolishes the FCC.
(2) Don't let anyone read it until it is passed by Congress.
(3) Repeat this process against each illegitimate government department that seeks to expand as the FCC has done.

In summary, wipe out any illegitimate government that moves!

I Veto Obama

     Self-proclaimed President of the United States, Barack Obama, spoke at a media event in which he declared:

"So in the short term, if Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote on whether what I'm doing is legal or not, they can have that vote.  I will veto that vote, because I'm absolutely confident that what we're doing is the right thing to do."

I could point out (as I have been repeatedly doing so in my blogs) that a natural-born Kenyan cannot be President.  However, Obama's above declaration takes American law to an entirely new level.  What Obama is saying is that The United States no longer exists in a state of the rule of law--but instead, under the rule of whim.

So, if that's the case, let the whims begin.  The first whim I wish to assert is to veto Obama.  I veto every political position he has had and now thinks he has.  And, I veto every vote he cast in his early political career.

Of course, it's not just Obama's whims and mine that are at play.  Each human being on this Earth has thousands of whims that clash into the expression of physical actions.

What a wonderful society Obama's whims have brought us to!

Why Its Really President Biden

     Before a candidate for President of the United States places his name on this country's ballots, one must choose a running mate for the position of Vice President.

As the American system has set up, the Vice President is next in line to the Presidency if something physical or political happens to the supposed President (such as a Constitutional disqualification).  In the case of the most recent election, the ticket with the two Democrat Party names won--one name belonging to a natural-born citizen, the other not.

Since Barack Obama was born in Kenya, the Presidency office passes to Joe Biden--who is a natural-born American.

Its really not a complicated argument.  This is the way the Constitution is set up.  But, if one does want to explore why, it is quite simple.  The Framers of the Constitution created the natural-born citizen clause to try to instill one more safeguard to increase the chances of a pro-American President.  It isn't sure-fire that a politician who was born here will value, or even like, America, but imagine what could happen if the leader didn't.

In this time of war against Islam, imagine if America was commanded by a muslim who hated the patriotic values of American freedom and sought to undermine the country from within.

I didn't vote for the Obama-Biden ticket.  But, a majority did.  You Americans saw option number two on your party's platform.  Until there is another election for an American President, you must accept President Biden as America's executive leader.

Obama is Not America

     For more than six years, Americans have been protesting the actions of Barack (The Kenyan) Obama.  We have been critical in protesting a man who's every act is calculated to destroy the country over which he supposedly presides.  However, it will be a more fastidious result of understanding if each of us quickly comes to the realization that Obama is not America.

One can imagine the foreign image America has begun to display.  When non-domestic individuals comment upon what this country has supposedly succumbed to, it should be clarified that Obama is not America.

Here at home, whenever the topic of American leadership arises, it must properly be stated that Barack (The Kenyan) Obama is not America.  Hundreds of independently impeachable offenses aside, one of the most fundamental ones--the impossibility of a non-natural born citizen becoming President of the United States of America, according to the Constitution, individually stands alone as sufficient to clarify his illegitimacy.

Since Obama holds no political position, I don't understand how so many Americans have come to accept a supposed Obama Presidency, and cynically resign the hope that that title is metaphysically in error.  Obama is not President; he never was President; and he never will be President.  Obama is not America.

AbbVie: A New Company with a Long History

     I finished reading A Promise for Life: The Story of Abbott.  At about 400 pages, it is the ultimate research tool for learning about AbbVie's start and where the company came from.

AbbVie (ABBV) has only existed since January 2013--when Abbott Labs (ABT) shed about half of its business to create a new, independent, research-based pharmaceutical company.

Abbott got its name from the physician who began, north of Chicago, by making medicines in 1888.  As a master at sales, he created a popular advertising journal to sell his products to doctors.  When the Great Depression hit, Abbott Labs weathered it exceptionally well--as it also was to do under the leadership of CEO Miles D. White in 2008.

The book tells the story of many of the pharmaceutical products still sold by AbbVie today.  "Depakote, for instance, was a patented successor to Depakene, the drug for treating epilepsy...By 1998, Depakote would surpass lithium, long the leading treatment for bipolar disorder..."(p.276)

Another valuable asset is Humira: "Since it was launched as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in 2003, Humira has steadily added indications and is currently the leading pharmaceutical in the world."(p.364)

Compared to the three books I have read about Eli Lilly, this book about AbbVie's history is by far better.  It is extremely high quality; and I suspect that it is even subsidized by Abbott, due to the low cost.  Whether one wants to read it cover to cover, or just have it as a reference guide, A Promise for Life: The Story of Abbott is definitely worth owning.

Postscripts in American Galileo

     One of the goals of my blog is to promote the pharmaceutical companies that have had the biggest, positive impact upon my life.  These businesses are Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) and AbbVie Inc. (ABBV).  For years, I have been blogging in support of Eli Lilly; and they have in return paid me Zyprexa at no additional charge.  In my opinion, it has been a unique and very esthetic business relationship--as their money fuels my mind; and my mind fuels their money.  On the other hand, AbbVie is a newcomer.  I have not yet established the same kind of trading relationship with them.  However, since I hold stock in both companies, I will still benefit from seeing (and, hopefully affecting) an AbbVie rise--whether it is their mind-improving Depakote propelling it, or not.  So, this is the system I will use:

Whenever most of my posts are written while my mind is on one or both of the drugs produced by the above mentioned pharmaceutical companies, I will credit the business or businesses accordingly in a postscript.  However, as an exception, to reduce clutter I will be omitting the Lilly and AbbVie postscripts from my science posts, and simply be using the line "Father of Metachemics" below my name.  This is also intended to make them easier to find in the search engines.
