‘…INBEAT GLOBAL MOVEMENT…’
THANKS AND WELCOME TO INTERNATIONAL BEAT ( ‘…INBEAT…’ ) !!!
( www.myspace.com/1inbeat1 )
+ ‘…When people are dancing and dining together, they are not fighting against each other…’
Think of ‘…INBEAT…’(International Beat) (www.myspace.com/1inbeat1) as being a Global Community that belongs to all of its Members… Just like an Internet based United Nations. It will be used as a mechanism for addressing some of the present and future Global Challenges through the timely introduction of ‘Precisioned Initiatives’ that the Community can execute. Because of the ‘precisioned’ attributes of the ‘Envisioned Initiatives’, they would invariably be less costly and more effective than prevailing “programs”. Why, you may ask? : Simply because the Initiatives will be coming from their ‘…Source Of Origin…’.
A Number of Initiatives have been started that people could work on collectively. One of them was espoused by Ms. Jah Jah ( www.myspace.com/mcjahjah ) in 2008. She suggested doing a Community Album of Songs on saving trees. This has since given impetus for the start of the INBEAT GLOBAL SONGS INITIATIVE ( www.myspace.com/inbeatsongs ), which serves as a one-stop-shop for Songs’ Writing/Music Production. One caveat though: Songs that debase women and ethnicities shall not be tolerated within ‘…INBEAT…’(International Beat). In this regard, people should check out Ms. Meru’s ( www.myspace.com/merumatu ) song “…Don’t Talk About Mi Mama…”, which is cautionary. Other ‘…Initiatives…’ include, but not limited to, Hemispheric Health and Wellness( www.myspace.com/inbeathealth ), Travel and Lodging(work in progress), INBEAT Global Cookbook ( www.myspace.com/inbeatcookbooks ), INBEAT Global Poetry Initiative(
www.myspace.com/inbeatpoetry
), and The INBEAT Global Life Journey Book Initiative(www.myspace.com/inbeatlife), and The INBEAT Help-Line Initiative for INBEAT Members ( www.myspace.com/inbeathelp ). People are encouraged to check these INBEAT Communities. Just about all the Communities have income-earning mechanisms/empowerment for Members. Furthermore, voice has been given to the ‘…INBEAT GLOBAL MOVEMENT…’ by way of the INBEAT BLOGTALK RADIO ( http://www.blogtalkradio.com/INTERNATIONAL-BEAT- ) that was set up through the dedicated efforts of Ms. Kat Solomon(inbeatpoetry@myspce.com).
In effect, the INBEAT Communities are taking a departure from the typical social networks’ agenda that leave a lot to be desired in some cases. The Communities aspire to actually accomplish concrete objectives with its Membership.

Cheers and stay strong!

Obama calls for ‘honest debate’ on health care
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is challenging his critics on a national health care overhaul, accusing them of making “phony claims” about the legislation.

“This is an issue of vital concern to every American, and I’m glad that so many are engaged,” Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address.

“But it also should be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are.”

Obama said illegal immigrants would not be part of the health care overhaul, taxpayers would not be mandated to fund abortions and he does not intend a government takeover of health care — all claims that critics have made at
contentious town hall-style meetings with members of Congress.

He also took a swipe at “death panels,” an idea former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin introduced on her Facebook page.

“As every credible person who has looked into it has said, there are no so-called death panels — an offensive notion to me and to the American people,” Obama said. “These are phony claims meant to divide us.”

Obama’s liberal base was angered this past week after he seemed to suggest he would be fine with a plan that lacked a government-run health insurance option.

“This is one idea among many to provide more competition and choice, especially in the many places around the country where just one insurer thoroughly dominates the marketplace,” Obama said. “Let me repeat: It would be just an option; those who prefer their private insurer would be under no obligation to shift to a public plan.”

In their weekly address, Republicans accused Obama of
misrepresenting his proposal.

“As opposition to the Democrats’ government-run health plan is mounting, the president has said he’d like to stamp out some of the disinformation floating around out there,” said Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga. “The problem is the president, himself, plays fast and loose with the facts.”

Price said that the whole plan should be scrapped and lawmakers should start over with a plan that makes sure patients — not Washington or insurance providers — are the top priority.

“We all know that when the government is setting the rules and is backed by tax dollars, it will destroy, not compete with, the private sector,” said Price, a physician. “The reality is, whether or not you get to keep your plan, or your doctor, is very much in question under the president’s proposal.”

This is something very exciting for me, as it involves many of my very own personal interests and benefits the members of society who might need it the most.  Please read carefully the following missive and if you are interested or if it applies to you in any way, CONTACT ME in the form provided below.  We are moving very fast.  I invite any other bloggers to reblog at will without fear of reprisal.  Now without further explanation:

…INBEAT GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVES…’

The topic and concerns of Health and Wellness have constituted the focus of some Members of the International Beat(‘…INBEAT…’) Community since 1993. INBEAT Members that have been reading INBEAT Blogs and Postings since 2008 would readily agree that the same topic has been discussed severally since early 2008. More focus has been brought to this same topic by virtue of the currently ongoing U.S.A. National Health Care Legislation process that started in January, 2009.

Ideologically, INBEAT views Comprehensive Health as a National/Global Necessity and Priority, much in the manner of National/Civil Defense, Foreign Affairs, National Interstate Highways,  National Hurricane Emergency Preparedness, Police/Fire Services, and/or National Aeronuatics(e.g., NASA). IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER A PERSON IS A CAPITALIST, OR A SOCIALIST! NOR SHOULD IT HAVE ANTHING TO DO WITH BEING A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN! (‘…He that breathes air wears neither a capitalist hat, nor a socialist one…’). The potentials for Global Pandemics make this mandatory. Though investments in National Health have the potentials for economic development impacts and multipliers, it is nevertheless, first and foremost a Public Service for Public Good, and not an endeavor in which private-sector profit maximization should be the primary driver and focus. It is for this reason that most Countries in the World, including the Developing ones that have limited resource base, share this Comprehensive Health Care Mindset.

In pursuance, INBEAT has developed a Myspace Webpage (www.myspace.com/inbeathealth) that would focus on ‘…INBEAT HEALTH INITIATIVES…’. The charge of this INBEAT Community will be to marshall advocacies for Global Health And Wellness, as well as map out strategies for delivering Envisioned Health And Wellness Initiatives. One of the Communities’ first tasks, will be to set up a framework for Standardizing Certification Testing and Board/s for Medical Personnel within the Continents as to enable them easily and readily work across borders when their services are needed by a host Country and/or Region. This would ultimately help address Medical Staffing Shortages through viable and timely supply and demand mechanisms within Hemispheric Regions.

As earlier stated, The Community aspires to actually accomplish concrete objectives with its Membership. One of those Objectives would be to establish THE INBEAT GLOBAL FUND. The FUND shall be used for: 1) Members Capacity Building and Empowerment; 2) Establishing A Community Bank for Members for Revolving Loans; 3) Establishing A Social Safety Net Infrastructure for Members (Including Self-Sustainable Health Insurance Fund for Members that need it); Establishing Affordable Travel and Lodging Capacity/Infrastructure For Members; Core Administrative Funding and etc.

Your Fellow INBEAT Member, Ms. Gemma (www.myspace.com/inbeathealth)(inbeathealth@myspace
.com) will serve as the Core Staff Person for this Initiative. She will be joined by others in due course.

Thanks and be well!
