Healthcare Reform Bill Passes, some interesting numbers

House health bill passes 220-215; 39 Dems and one GOP defect

The House passed its $1 trillion healthcare overhaul late Saturday with only two votes to spare, becoming the first chamber to vote on such a significant expansion of healthcare since Congress passed Medicare in 1965.

The 220-215 vote late Saturday was a victory for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama, who came to Capitol Hill to rally his fellow Democrats in the hours before the vote.

One Republican, Joseph Cao (R-La.), voted for the bill, and 39 Democrats bucked their party's leaders to vote no. But final passage was assured by a late-night agreement Friday to give abortion opponents a vote on an amendment preventing any of the subsidies in the bill from paying for abortion. The amendment passed, giving a margin of comfort to anti-abortion Democrats, but angering abortion-rights supporters.


A few numbers line up in this.... The orlando shooter killed one person (the same number of republicans who voted for this bill), and the Fort Hood shooter was 39 (same number as Democrats who voted yes) years old. Also, look what time this article was posted on "The Hill" website:

This bill was passed saturday night while (I assume, since I wasn't watching the news) everyone was distracted by the shootings. There's also a few "12"s floating around in this story.... 1 Trillion dollars would have 12 zeros on the end of it. The story mentioned Medicare passing in 1965, 1+9+6+5 = 21/12 (and if you convert that 1+9 into a 1, the sum is 12), 39 (3+9=12) democrats, 220-215 vote: 2+2+2+1+5 = 12. 12 is a number of Saturn, with L (El) as the 12th letter of the alphabet. If you convert that 12 into a 3, we get the Freemasons' favorite (Hermetic/Trinity) number.

I think Chris Knowles mentioned this, but the exact amount of the healthcare bill is $1.052 trillion. 10+5+2 = 17.

Snippets:

"215, 216, 217..." they whispered. And then with the magical 218th vote (2+1+8=11), they erupted in hugs and cheers.


Dozens of House Democrats and White House staffers also gathered in the House Ways and Means Committee room after the measure’s passage and celebrated with hugs, cheers, and toasts of red and white wine (Dionysian?)


Democratic leaders had hoped to hold the House vote before the August recess, but a rebellion by centrist Democrats, particularly Blue Dogs, forced them to delay.


Abortion-rights supporters call it a "de facto" abortion ban and mounted an intense lobbying campaign against it, but 64 (Hermetic, number of squares on a chessboard, 8x8/Mercury) Democrats joined nearly all Republicans in voting for it.

scary stuff, but it all fits so... if they are playing the numbers game, which i have no problem believing, then anyone who picks up on it is doomed to ridicule. How do we ever wake up from this bullshit when the first hint of hidden knowledge makes the average person think of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code?

That's where this gets tricky. People really have to wake up and see for themselves.... I think there may be some sort of universal alarm clock, but if there's not, I'm really not sure what will get people to open their eyes.

Did I mention that? I can't keep track anymore. I'll have to look through the transcripts and see what else pops up.

Well, if you didn't mention it, there it is!
