Nate Solter (i.e., the FBI) offers me a prosperous life...
The initial attempts to “deal with” rebellious Arnold were aimed at creating “nice” obstacles to his revolutionary thinking and action. Medical school was an excellent option.
This is not the place to write an exhaustive treatise on medical care in the US – which is increasingly becoming a wholesale disaster for many tens of millions of Americans – in fact, a massive crime against the American people. Nonetheless, a few facts:
A decades-long system has been established in the US, which allows the pharmaceutical companies exclusive patent rights on medication and allows them to profit enormously at the expense of the health needs of the average person:
“Drug companies... either buy the rights to drugs developed by others and raise the prices many times over, as with Sovaldi, or to obtain a medication already in existence and, using monopolistic control, raise the price as much as 500% or more, as in the case of the EpiPen...
“Patent protection effectively grants the pharmaceutical industry a monopoly, regardless of the human consequences. For a patient with a particular disease and a single solution available in the form of a sole-source drug, allowing exorbitant pricing prevents access for individuals to the medication...
“The prohibition on importing drugs from other countries allows pharmaceutical companies to continue to discriminate on an economic basis against patients in the United States. The federal government is restricted from negotiating prices on behalf of U.S. citizens, unlike governments around the rest of the globe, thus guaranteeing Americans will pay more...” (Why Patent Protection In The Drug Industry Is Out Of Control, Forbes Jan. 19, 2017)
The drug industry and the US government likewise have made the MD (doctor of medicine) profession a highly restricted and thus privileged profession. To maintain this rapacious system, the number of accredited doctors is kept artificially low; since medical care is an essential service, its cost is extraordinarily high. (None of this is reported, naturally, by the CIA-controlled mass media in Russia. Likewise, Americans are never informed that medical care, if no longer absolutely free under Russian capitalism, is far, far less expensive than in the US and is readily available to the average citizen.)
“The U.S. is famous for over-spending on health care. The nation spent 17.8 percent of its GDP on health care in 2016... Per capita, the U.S. spends $9,403 a year... In the U.S., they point out, drugs are more expensive. Doctors get paid more. Hospital services and diagnostic tests cost more... the U.S. spent $1,443 per capita on pharmaceuticals. (Here's the real reason health care costs so much more in the US, CNBC Mar. 22, 2018)
“Americans use the doctor less than people in other countries. We still pay more for health care... The United States is routinely the most expensive place to buy medical care... Americans spend more for health care largely because of the prices.” (America’s health care prices are out of control, VOX May 10, 2018)
“The average hospital stay in the US costs just over $10,700, based on an analysis of recent data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP).” (Business Insider, March 1, 2018)
Medical doctors in the US are a privileged category: “On average, physicians in the US work 55 hours each week and earn a salary of $270,000” (Physicians in the United States, Wikipedia). Which is about 6 times the average US salary (Average Salary Information for US Workers, The Balance Careers, July 13, 2018)
And then there is the enormous cost of health insurance: “A family of four will pay an average of $28,166 in 2018, an increase of $1,222 from 2017. The estimate includes the average cost of health insurance paid by employers and employees, as well as deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses... employees will pay about 44 percent of their healthcare costs.” (Becker's Hospital CFO Report, June 4, 2018). That is, for the family fortunate to have someone working!
In Russia, health insurance is free.

The privileged status of physicians in the US lends itself to utilizationation by the secret political police for manipulating access to this profession. In so doing, the FBI etc. provide a well-paying occupation for some of their stooges and guarantee that this, as other middle-level rungs in society, is peopled by “reliable” accomplices and “defenders of the American way of life.”
I have described a concrete example of this process:
“Students who were selected to do the drudge work in the (Stehlin) Foundation (where I worked while in Houston, Texas) were themselves committed to the US political police. While I was there, about 10 of these students applied for medical school. Acceptance into medical school was very difficult and desirable, as physicians were generally able to obtain high incomes; in Texas, about one in ten applicants was accepted into medical school. All of Stehlin's students, however, got in! An event, if it occurred spontaneously was equivalent to one chance in ten to the tenth power, or one chance in ten billion. Obviously, there was nothing spontaneous about this “selection” process. The committed FBI stooges were given their stepping stone to potentially lucrative careers.” (Dictatorship USA – Part 9)
//////////////////////////
A different objective was pursued in my case.
Nate Solter solemnly assured me that he, as a faculty member at The School of Medicine at University of California-San Francisco, could assure my admission to hallowed medical school.
The goal: to make me an ensured benefactor of “American prosperity) and thereby divest me of revolutionary ideas. Other than that, medical school training in the US was/is especially onerous and requires full-time devotion; for four years at least, I would simply have had no time for political activity. Internship and residency after med school graduation and then possible specialty training would continue to take have taken me out of whatever “movement” there is in America.
A good FBI plan, and I am sure that with “Nate's” help I would have been accepted at the UC San Francisco School of Medicine.
I declined, not because I understood the nasty intentions at the time, but because I was not cut out to be a medical doctor – as much as I respect the profession. I much preferred becoming a scientific researcher, which is the course I embarked on.

Nate and Becky are gone: “Nathan Solter, MD died on December 25, 2006 at age 96 after a brief illness and a long and productive life. After serving in the army during WW II, he practiced medicine in SF for 35 years, then retired to his beloved country home in the redwoods. Nathan and his wife Rebecca were married for over 50 years before her death. They had four children...” (San Francisco Chronicle, Jan. 14, 2007)
Their younger daughter also died a few years ago. As far as I am aware, she did not attempt to harm me. The older daughter Linda, however, played a dirty FBI-sponsored trick on me, which is too inconsequential to elaborate on here. “Dr. Linda (Solter) Lynn is a psychiatrist in Santa Barbara, California. She received her medical degree from University of California San Francisco School of Medicine...” (health.usnews.com/doctors/linda-lynn)
Son Dr. Steven Solter, now living in Occidental, California, for 30 years worked for the US government - “with funding from the US Agency for International Development (USAID)” (Long-term Perspectives: Improving Health in Afghanistan, Management Systems for Health, June 6, 2011) – in Afghanistan and other “Third World” country targets for predatory and murderous US imperialism. Such “health” activities naturally are closely linked to the vicious US “intelligence community.”
