==============
I have been reading Ivanhoe again. As a teenager, I only followed the wildly dramatic plot. Now I also notice the comments along the way...
The book, written around 1800, describes corruption of government in England around 1100... Among the features: appointment of "stuffed calf" bishop in order to rob the assets of the church... A stuffed calf used to be placed before the cow after the real calf was taken, in order to stimulate ongoing milk production, hence the name "stuffed calf" bishop...
So how many "stuffed calf" government officials do we have today in order to enable the robbing of the people - regulators, law enforcement, judges?

Banks and WikiLeaks
DEC. 25, 2010
The whistle-blowing Web site WikiLeaks has not been convicted of a crime. The Justice Department has not even pressed charges over its disclosure of confidential State Department communications. Nonetheless, the financial industry is trying to shut it down.
Visa, MasterCard and PayPal announced in the past few weeks that they would not process any transaction intended for WikiLeaks. Earlier this month, Bank of America decided to join the group, arguing that WikiLeaks may be doing things that are “inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments.”
The Federal Reserve, the banking regulator, allows this. Like other companies, banks can choose whom they do business with. Refusing to open an account for some undesirable entity is seen as reasonable risk management. The government even requires banks to keep an eye out for some shady businesses — like drug dealing and money laundering — and refuse to do business with those who engage in them.
Continue reading the main story

Times Topic: WikiLeaks
But a bank’s ability to block payments to a legal entity raises a troubling prospect. A handful of big banks could potentially bar any organization they disliked from the payments system, essentially cutting them off from the world economy.
The fact of the matter is that banks are not like any other business. They run the payments system. That is one of the main reasons that governments protect them from failure with explicit and implicit guarantees. This makes them look not too unlike other public utilities. A telecommunications company, for example, may not refuse phone or broadband service to an organization it dislikes, arguing that it amounts to risky business.
Our concern is not specifically about payments to WikiLeaks. This isn’t the first time a bank shunned a business on similar risk-management grounds. Banks in Colorado, for instance, have refused to open bank accounts for legal dispensaries of medical marijuana.
Still, there are troubling questions. The decisions to bar the organization came after its founder, Julian Assange, said that next year it will release data revealing corruption in the financial industry. In 2009, Mr. Assange said that WikiLeaks had the hard drive of a Bank of America executive.
What would happen if a clutch of big banks decided that a particularly irksome blogger or other organization was “too risky”? What if they decided — one by one — to shut down financial access to a newspaper that was about to reveal irksome truths about their operations? This decision should not be left solely up to business-as-usual among the banks.

חולים ישראלי מאושפז ילד פלסטיני נניח, שמקבל טיפול מסור לצד פצוע פיגוע.
"ברגע שמדובר בחולה, לא משנה מי ומה הוא,
מטופל הוא מטופל", מצוטטים אנשי רפואה שונים לאורך השנים כבמנטרה.
הסולידריות הזאת נעלמת כל אימת שכוחותינו פוגעים בצוותי רפואה פלסטיניים.

עיכוב אמבולנסים במחסומים, וגם לנוכח חטיפת פצועים מבתי חולים דממה.
