Lucy In The Sky With Obamacare
Not even Paul and John would have any clue what the message is or what is going on in this psychedelic, Yellow Subamrine-inspired TV ad slot for Obamacare titled "Fly With Your Own Wings", part of the Cover Oregon campaign (funded by US taxpayers). Perhaps: enroll in Obamacare, get a lifetime supply of LSD for free...

If you fly with your own wings then why do you need some body else to pay for your healthcare?
We are so fucked.
The don't trust anyone over 30 crowd now wants us to trust them and they are now like 70 and braindead.
they can't even get trippy right.
but schoolboy q can;

Well they LOST 650 Million Dollars on the website using 'Their own Wings'. Central Planning is a microcosm of the utopian Bullshit, in where it all sounds 'good and catchy' but in reality it is a dysfunctional failure.
That is one freaky commercial
They've had the fix all along....

You can just tell why those super fat asses are happy to get free Obamacare.
We'll all be drinking that free Bubble-up, and eating that rainbow stew...
hat tip to Merle Haggard:
“When they find out how to burn water, and the gasoline car is gone. When an airplane flies without ay fuel and the sunlight heats our home. When the President goes through the White House door, and does what he says he’ll do, well I’ll be drinkin’ that free bubble-up, and eating that rainbow stew.”
Groovy.. off to the Mercy Centers.
Psych’em all out, babies…

What message is hidden when you play it backwards?
Y'all are dead?
and Jim Morrison would know
Thinking the most appropriate Obama Carebeatles song is I AM THE WALRUS
cause it's bulky, highly unique, and may spend most of its life on ice
No James Morrison. When you play it backwards it yells in Japanese eight hundred fuck yo over ane over
My brain damn near imploded when I saw the people turn into a phoenix turn into the oreganocare sign.
Can't wait for CA's commercials.
As a native Oregonian and from the rural area, the trashy hippies in Portland and Eugene make me puke. Most of them fled CA when their welfare system got sick of caring for their sorry asses heading north to the great welfare tit. PS: I live in Texas now and don't deal with those type here.
Very creepy.
I don't get it. If all of this collectivism is so wonderful, why do they need to run ads for it?
Correct. If this law represented the health care we want, we would be flocking to it, with wings or without.
Instead, they criminalize non-participation and have to advertize like crazy.
This fat-cat approved law must go.
but it IS the healthcare we want. We're just too stupid to realize it, and we need Big Brother to tell us what's best for us....because the politburo wankers are so much fucking smarter than the rest of us. They have to be: their circle jerk of self-congratulation and confirmation and co-endorsement is proof enough to them. The satan worshipping Talmudists that pull those wanker's strings know better, but they prop them up at every opportunity because they're believers and have infiltrated every fucking aspect of your lives.
and if it's so fucking wonderful to hold hands in one big kumbaya collective, then why do they repeatedly emphasize that they're Oregonians? What's the message there? "Fuck the Idahoans"? "My collective is better than your collective"?
Bring on the demise
I thought the Oregon website (which isn't part of the federal debacle) was completely DOA and nonfunctional with no ETA on being up and running to accept applications, so why the commercials?
What does the statement " We're free to be Healthy" REALLY mean I wonder. Because that's pathetically obvious. I'm getting a cold shiver.
Miffed;-)
Now free to be healthy. Implying that previously we were slaves to ill health?
It must mean that the era of the revolving doors between FDA and Monsanto and Big Pharma is over.
No more poisoning you and your fields and killing off millions of bees (competition dontcha know). No more creating the pill du jour to "cure what ails you" (which as all good satanist know must be read in reverse to find the truth: to ail what cures you).
I live out here in FEMA region X, and they've been airing those commercials for the last few months. Propaganda is putting it lightly.
Kill your fucking TV pod
Dammit. Duplicate post.
What in the hell is about these "Mystery Google Barges" showing up??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tON4CmX8L4M
My first guess was hooker barges for the elite but now I'm thinking holding pens for the NDAA captures...
CIA toture centers?
I give up.
I read somewhere they were going to use them as showcases for the new Google glasses.
Supposedly they had a party deck at the top.
Google Glass Showcase
Either that, or that's where you go get a chip implanted in your brain so that you appreciate "The One" and all he's done for you.
Constructed with 40ft shipping containers...
http://mashable.com/2013/11/01/google-mystery-barge-is-a-store-for-secrets/
I believe it was Google that said the barge was to showcase google glass.
I just immediately assme they are lying. Why would you build a shipping container barge with no windows to showcase a product. That's what showrooms in land based buildings are for. Similarly to apple stores in the malls, I'd think you would want everyone to see how cool you are with your new spy-specs. You know, rubbing elbows with the tech-savy sexy people.
A windowless barge would be perfect for advanced interrogation and imprisonment. Kind of like a floating dungeon.
It would also be good(I assume) if you needed direct access to lots of water for cooling super computers compiling quadragigaflops of private data for the NSA or something.

"Honey, we're going on vacation soon to either Maine or San Francisco. No need to pack."
The website will be remembered as the best part of the ACA.
I tried to like it... I gave it an honest effort. Still, I won't junk you because I failed.
the liberal utopian delusion at its best
Welcome to dystopia!
Insane hallucinatory images and bullshit bromides substitute for the stark reality:
We are all slaves in a fascist police state.
"free to be healthy" so long as we obey the Massa and get his form of insurance...or pay a fine. How free is that shit?
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
Thanks, assholes, but I'll be free and not need the trippy kind of stuff that is supposed to make a bad idea cool...
It would have been a perfect little ad if the big Kool Aid guy had bust through at the end. "Oh Yeah!"
Little kid one: Your friend is cool
Little kid two: My friend is Kool-Aid.
Damn Rand, you're getting darker by the day.
If this keeps up I'm gonna have to hand over the title of Pure Evil.
Sugary drinks will result in increased premiums under 0'BaMaoBotCare.
That will be one of the next shoes to drop down the road:
Dear beloved forced-to-pay-us health insurance customer,
We were notified by your bank that you used your debit card to purchase 2 gallons of sugary drinks on Friday. Additionally, 7-11 also informed us that their retinal-scan cameras also have you purchasing a Big-Gulp. on the same day.
That puts you over your annual sugar limit and therefore we unfortunately, but giddily, have to raise your rates by 50% while increasing your deductible by 50% as well.
Next year please submit forms HAHA1567-7/34, FU69-2/88 and SLAVE666-9/5 for reevaluation of your premiums.
You will need to be able to prove that you are consuming less than 50% of the sugar limit to be able to be considered for reduced premiums.
Sincerely and thank you for being a forced customer of ours.

one big happy family...
they are now like 70 and braindead.
Should have killed the hippies when we had the chance.
We had them all together at Woodstock....a little cyanide in the granola....problem solved.
Excuse me, but that would have achieved exactly WHAT? And by the way: While propagating simple murder - please speak for yourself, and only for yourself!
would have achieved exactly WHAT?
Well, I probably wouldn't have had to seen stuff like that ad, and grandma would still have healthcare......need I go on?
Grandma is now priced out and has to pay the fine and use the emergency room.....I'm a little cheesed off about it is all.
and we could still have an education system that teaches instead of propogandizes. gosh damn that global warming crap is still costing us a fortune and this multiculuralism and keeping people on the plantation costs even more.
Agenda 21 can't get here fast enough. If you consider a box to be a plantation....then OK....it's a plantation.
...from a working plantation to a couch plantation...from assimilation to little Bagdad, little Chechnya, little-big Mexico.
Great-grandma wouldn't have free abortions, great granpa wouldn't be covered for pap smears would they?
like your responses most of the time 'Gold, but MOST of you fuckers wouldn't even BE HERE NOW to be bitchin if it weren't for your "Hippie" parents, and that little bit of "free love" shit that went down in the 60's......... just sayin.
While I can fully understand your being cheezed off, I don't get what the hippies had to do with ads like this and your grandma. Hippies were no collectivists, they encouraged personal responsibility. I cannot understand how you come to think they would have ever approved of such shit. Could it be that you don't have the ass to address the right people with your anger, and instead root for the easiest to blame? The hippies shall be responsible for this mess you are in? You sure?
Hippies were no collectivists, they encouraged personal responsibility
ROFLMAO, wow what kinda blotter you on man, you better share that delusion.......
To answer your question: I settled for the shrooms long ago. And it may be the case that those hippies I knew have been very different from those you encountered. Anyways - you really think they are to held responsible? Really?
you really think they are to held responsible? Really?
Let's see....Bill Aires, Cloward and Piven, last but not least Saul Alinsky. All hippies. That's the Obama playbook in it's entirety. Yes I do think we should hold them responsible.
Yes.....really.
Not all "hippies" were communists/socialists.
But I can tell you I ran into my fair share of them back in the day. You could always tell who they were...they were the ones who came into a circle of people smokng a joint and said "don't bogart man!"
Then one of us would say "Didn't I just see you walking out of the store with a bottle of wine? Where is it?" The commie would always say "I drank it already."
That's when the doobie was handed across his chest to the next one in the circle, infuriating the commie, who never understood how we could be so mean ;-)
Stupidest post I've seen on here in a while.
You ain't seen nothing yet! ;)
You don't know what stupid is until you've tracked this clown for awhile!
The hippies ARE grandmothers now, Woodstock was 45 years ago!
People would not have to have sat through a Richie Havens or Ravi Shankar set. That would have been a plus.
Hey!
Some of us really enjoyed the brown acid...
Heh heh.....it wasn't really poison.
The brown acid failed to deploy properly. Wavy Gravy was indeed a worthy adversary.
Not all.
One of my saddest times was when I realized, some of the people I hung out with when I was younger, started trusting authority. Sometime in the 90's if I recall.
One of mine went on to become the "authorities." Busting people for the same "crimes" he use to commit from the "privacy" of his high school locker.
There is no worse human being than someone who abuses "authority" to increase their own stash ;-)
No one may ring a bell at the top, but, fuck, if this doesn't mark peak Empire, I don't know what does. I'm actually spooked by this video. Off to buy a coach gun in 12 gauge.
Peak creepy.
LSD! It's not just for you, its for me! And Health Care is FREE!
FORWARD SOVIET!
fly closer to the sun....
If it is such a great program, why rely on Bernaysian tactics to draw traffic to ACA. Your tax dollars are working hard on this albatross.
" I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free, because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything that I do."
Robert Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
+1 for the RAH, another from the same book:
"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."
Just plain creepy like everything else going on in this country
STILL waiting for my promised LSD "flashback".
All STATE run programs are suspect.
No flashbacks due to all your damaged DNA.
That's because the lyrics were changed.
Originally it went:
We fly with our own wings, we just need a few free things. [Need a few free things]
Like...... Healthcare [Healthcare!]
EBT [EBT!]
A guaranteed job with a guaranteed wage. [Guaranteeeeeed wage!]
A homeloan with zero down and free car of my choice. [Free car of my choice!]
We are going to live off of you, because that is all we know how to do.
We dream the big things, that everyone else will pay for.
Big government is never big enough, it's more... more and more!
Just like Chris Matthews - "I felt this thrill going up my leg". And then I realized it was damp because I'd pee'd myself.
Does the winged sheeple realize the is paying 3X what is should to subisidize grandpa's healthcare?
They're about to find out.
I made sure popcorn is one of the things I stocked up on in advance. I have a habit of saving memoreable youtube videos. The next few years are going to consume substantial hard drive space.
The mentally deranged are fully in charge.
yeah, I mean you gotta be. In order to want to exercise control over others you have to be paranoid and delusional...but smart enuf to sell fer shit messages like "Hope and Change" and "Forward" to your almost equally delusional sheeples.
Sad...sad, sad.
the same folks from this country that taught and inpired Hitler get the votes of the same once exterminated...weird ain't it.
I'm tripping so hard that almost looked real.
This is 1st April......
It isn't????
Free to be healthy? What the fuck does that even mean?
Think happy thoughts.
Just don't think about paying for some sluts abortion.
Free to be healthy also means free to be unhealthy.
Unfortunately, the creators didn't wait to come off the sunshine-tabs before they started writing the lyrics.
It was four way window pane man. Get it right!
Got the first sentence ass backwards; Healthy to be free. Milestones
Got the first sentence ass backwards; Healthy to be free. Milestones
Anyone know what the Contras have been up to? Hmmu.
Where are all the good counter revolutionaires when you need them?
In 1986 I donated some money and equipment to the Contras. I was on a list somewhere. Later that year, while being interviewed for a security clearance, I was asked about this.
My answer was,"we are anti-communists, right? It even says so on a plaque on my orderly room wall after all. I just want to help some people kill communists themselves instead of having me do it". That got a big hmmmmmmmmmmm.
After that, wanting to make a public statement about this cold war communism thing, I said "Fuck Communism" instead of the unit motto when saluting officers. Finally, the Battlion Commander said, "CPL Moe, do you have to say that?"
I responded, "Yes, sir!"
I was never questioned about it again.
Who needs LSD in this governmental state of altered reality?
Lol......you know.
It is amazing how many hidden references to LSD were out there.
Do you remember the blotter? purple microdot?
We had one we called waffle...smooth trippin'
Sorry bout that...chores to do.
Yes...Mr.Natural (I got his nose one time...lol) windowpane, strawberry fields...good times ;-)
I'd be down for a couple free ounces of whatever he's been smoking. Is it included with my high deductible plan for $650/month?
Completely defenseless mentally, spiritually, physically = liberalism's dream realized.
Don't think for yourself, continue to be a sheeple and "think" like an Oregonian? - At least that's what I got from it.
I think I spotted some unicrons shitting skittles and dollars somewhere in there. Was that Ben getting taken up by the geese?
they have a black person, a wheelchair person, the elderly and the youth all in their groovy, independent flying machines, but then the eagle (bird of prey) comes and replaces all of them, and we're supposed to dig that?
bummer, man.
bird of prey could be crunched by a wind turbine to close the loop
It would be a great improvement, if the government could be wrapped into some indian bedsheets and be drugged up to the eyeballs with LSD. Expansion of mind would suit them all too well.
I wouldn't mind paying for that.
Only mean spirited Republicans who want the people to be weak and sick would oppose this spiritually uplifting message! We all have a right to be free to be healthy! We all have a right to be able to fly on our own wings! Especially if those wings magically appear from the guitars that we will all be playing together as one undifferentiated incarnate matrix of Earth Mother Gaia! Reunite Gonwondaland! Stay away from the brown acid! Don't drink the DiHydrogen Monoxide!
Whoa!
Like...Awesome, Dude.
Wings...an shit. Sign me up.
MDB's little brother?
I'm really MDB's spiritual side.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
Unfettered from the invisible chains that tie him to his single message of "MOAR is Good!"
Lucy in the sky......one of the early paens to LSD.
I remember the clown with the stars in his eyes, the unicorn, my favorite types of blotter (small pieces of paper for you young kids that only know gelcaps).
Everything was definitely coming to me in waves lol another acid reference from pink floyd.
I had a few friends go insane with a lead role in a cage or worse.
Never take more than one hit of good acid. Never do it more than once a month. Give it up after a few years when you have squeezed all the enlightenment you can out of it.
But oh my god.
Oh and dont forget to put your wallet and keys away before your trip begins.
Ignore my advice if you have to learn the hard way lol
One hit?
Once a month?
What were you? A tourist?
Just a very cautious man. There was a 20 percent casualty rate in the acid crowd at my school. Deaths and worse.
I had one superbad trip and slowed down thank god.
Did my last at Pink Floyd's "Animals" concert at Soldiers Field. They had set up Gilmour's guitar amp's sound to fly around the stadium with 3 (I think) speaker towers, one of which was in the opposite stands from their stage. Wow. People not tripping thought they were.
Oh yeah, fuck you Barky...
Hey dont forget about Morning Glory COntains LSA.
Lsd's mellow cousin
"I had a few friends go insane with a lead role in a cage or worse."
Yes.
Its not something I advise for those a couple bubbles off plumb to begin with...it brings it ALL out of them. I related this before but its worth repeating.
I went and seen the Exorcist (the original) with a buddy of mine tripping. He was never the same after that. Sober, he was smart, made good grades, although a bit of a egomaniac, a good lookin guy, long blonde hair, physically strong...the whole deal, played the guitar (mostly to impress the chicks) but I thought he was salvagable and so did a lot of others.
Nope...he turned on everyone who ever cared about him after that.
Bottom line...if you ain't gotcha your mind right...stay away from it.
Hey nmewn, we need closure man, what happened to your buddy? Sounds likely he died violently or became a banker?
Well, hopefully he doesn't (or any of my old friends) read ZH or I'm busted on my real identity ;-)
He always thought he was a badass...and to a certain degree he was...but not as tough as he thought.
He got in some trouble with the law and as was the case sometimes back in the day, he was given a choice of jail or Marines. He chose Marines, lasted two weeks of Boot Camp couldn't hack it and wound up in the brig and a dishonorable discharge.
Then, he's high again at his Mom's, in a fight with his girlfriend and starts waving a gun around like the idiot he could be sometimes, she calls the cops, cops over-react as usual HOSTAGE SITUATION!...the SWAT Team shows up and one of the bozo's goes running across the roof. He shoots through the roof, scares the shit out of the SWAT guy (it came out by his foot) and he stumbles and falls off the roof.
So now we got an injured cop and a bunch of half wits seeking revenge...oh well done.
Well, he finally starts crashing and coming back to his senses, sends his Mom out of the house and the "negotiation" starts. Finally he comes out...with his .45 in his hand.
The way I understand it (from his ex-girlfriend) is they're screaming at him to put the gun down (he's got his arms stretched out to his side with the gun in his right hand) he raises it...could have been to cap himself or whatever but the cops open up on him.
Twenty six wounds...and he didn't die...lol...six months in the hospital though.
So...after he gets out of prison...he comes back to town looking like a walking billboard with all his jailhouse tatoos and just about as nuts as he had always been saying he was trying to clean up.
We had all been through this shit before with him, his apologies, us still trying to help him fight his demons off but a lot of us had wives & kids by that time...it had been five-six years...life goes on.
There was probably only two or three of us that could have ever helped him...I like to think I was one...but it was long over between us by the time all that happened.
It started from him dropping acid...I seen the whole thing, I was with him...he called himself beelzebub...I laughed in his face and called him by his name and hugged him as brothers would do...he gave me that smirk of his but his eyes were different this time. He wanted to be possessed or die...didn't matter to me at that point...he was gone...he was someone different from that point on.
His mind was weak and he compensated for it with aggression and vanity and fantasy which fed the ego he already had.
I think about him often but I never want to see him again.
I went to high-school with a guy much like the one you describe. Likeable enough when we were younger, and large, strong, handsome ( I guess) but just got weirder and more aggressive and violent as time went by. Last time I hung out with him was maybe 5 years after high-school. We were partying, and he was becoming unhinged and weird enough that I was about ready to go find my pistol. Happily, I managed to get him talked down and talked into going home (or at least somewhere else) without any major incident.
Last I heard, we was doin' a stretch (second or third) for assault. Haven't seen him in ovr 15 years now. Don't want to, either.
Its hard to know what drives some people, what makes them tick inside. But psychedelics are definitely not for everybody and even alcohol for some.
Those who have been to the very edge with someone and looked down, know exactly what I mean...they want to jump while you're trying to hold them back. Sometimes we're successful, sometimes not. Sometimes you just have to save yourself and let them go.
The best place to do some vitamin-A is/was a Grateful Dead concert.
I watched "The Day After" on two hits, and I think I turned out ok.
Otherwise that might explain some things.
Yes, that explains some things.
Purple Osly daily summer of "71. Nothin' but the best.
Look we need some sobering reality. It's time to start hanging any asshole that thinks they can bullshit us like this. Let's push this fucker off a cliff and see if he can fly with his own fucking wings.
Yeah, a totally fvcked up message there.
"We fly with own wings, but want YOU to pay for my things". Ususal socialist message.
Propaganda would be another word for it.
The propaganda machine has reached full tilt with the ACA (and the shutdown BS.) It is scary how hard they try. Everything is optics. Twitter, Facebook, TV and print ads. A government that has to sell itself is not worth shit.
Judging by how North Korea still manages to control its populace, it is clear that the people of the USA are in store for a lot more suffering at the hands of Obama and successors. Everything one reads to do with law enforcement, journalism, foreign wars, the legal system, the financial system, surveillance etc has a surreal quality that is undeniably disturbing for a nation that calls itself a democracy.
Indeed, perhaps it's time to form a new representative republic?
All democracies end the same way, ours will be no different.
Benjamin franklin espressed those sentiments best. An amazing man.
A five minute read.

Hey, why not defy the law of gravity. They seem to break every other law.
Maybe they could add footage of Barry in the Choomwagon with his buddies. Kind of a before and after message. If that doesn't cure drug addictions nothing will.
Who lives in a world that would approve that message as effective? The disconnect is staggering.
Good point!
It is hard to imagine the type of mentality or group-think that conceived this sugary gunk. A lot of art and money was "invested" into this unicorn syrup. What kind of person (really!) would take this message seriously? I could be overly optimistic but I think a normal rational human being would be highly suspicious. There is a stinking mound of condescension here...
Looks like it's time I start selling dope. Alot of people are going to want it.
Probably doesn't even have to be good dope at the rate things are going...
Physician, scholar and advocate, Steffie Woolhandler, co-founder of Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP) says that, “complexity is baked into Obamacare.” What does “complexity” mean beyond thousands of pages of legislation and many more pages of regulations? Over forty years ago, Canada’s single-payer system was enacted with a 13 page bill that covers everyone for less than half of the cost per capita than the U.S.’s waste-ridden, profiteering, corrupt medical-industrial complex that drives honest practitioners up the wall. And, the Canadian system produces better health outcomes at this reduced cost.
Unfortunately complexity means endless opportunities for insurance companies to game the system with fine print, tricks, confusing pricing and lobbying to get out of requirements and standards through waivers. Complexity means ongoing confusion for consumers and patients who go into these exchanges, either because they’ve been thrown out of their existing but substandard insurance policies or do not have any insurance. [Ralph Nader]
If you want to read an excellent non-ideological condemnation of Obamacare and the real culprits involved read: "Obamacare the Biggest Insurance Scam In History"
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/19692-obamacare-the-biggest-insura...
@ trader1
Thanks for the post. About that complexity thing: I recently talked to a very smart person who not only was for ObamaCare, she also claimed to have read the entire law in its hundreds of pages.
I told her how opposed I was to the law but had to admit I had not read the damn thing.
When pressed, I told her that the only crucial thing I need to know cut right thru all that complexity. The law was passed with the participation and pre-approval by the heaviest hitters in the healthcare insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
Everything I have learned since then has done nothing but confirm that one noxious fact.
What. The. Fuck.
Pretty catchy! I just bought the long version of it for .49 cents from iTunes at the iStore for my iPhone.
if I have another laugh like you just gave me, this was a successful day!
Psychedelic recreation of the Second Coming, all hail Obama, he is the chosen one.
Selling them Obama was a breeze, when the price was free. Closing will fail, with the price for Obamacare dear. Even if they drug them to sign up, they'll stop paying, soon after the first bills arrive. Master planning is easy, succeeding is hard.
That is Oregon for you. The insane run the asylum. This is just one of many weird propaganda ads they have created with tax payer money. The state also built their own web site and exchange at considerable cost. I actually tried to sign up. For the first few days the web site would just blow up, then they changed it to advertisement only. You can't create an account, they force you to call one of their navigators/community organizers. Nuts.
and who is paying for these commercials?
Don't worry it's free.
The government pays for it.
