Hey, hi, and hello. Ok, ok, no blogging about Ron Paul today, unless i see some youtube video i like or hear anything otherwise. Well, it's the last day of the year and i figure i should take some time to reflect on the past year, cuz it's kind of felt like a big one for me.
I've learned to be more honest with myself and with the people i love. I have morphed from a self proclaimed liberal to a full on libertarian.
Ok, now this is where i'm gonna get into Ron Paul but it's just about how much he has impacted my life and opened my eyes and made me really, truly appreciate the truth.
Ya know the old saying,"and the truth shall set you free"? I remember Aaron wrote that in my "Crossfire: The Men Who Killed JFK", and that book along with a lot of other things did set me free when i found out all this suppressed information about what happened on the day, that even back then the mainstream media never told the American people.
A lot of people have coined the phase "Dr. Paul cured my apathy" and that's really what Ron Paul has done for me. I started finding out a lot of things that is leading the country deeper and deeper into, what Ron Paul calls "soft fascism" like the income tax, the IRS hand in hand with the Federal Reserve (which really isn't federal it's private) the NAFTA superhighway, the Military Commissions ACT, Patriot act 2, it just goes on and on.
Naomi Wolf, who is a hero to the left has wrote a beautiful peace called "The 10 Steps To Fascism" and in the piece she names every step, and we have crossed every one.
ya won't hear that on the nightly news.
Anyhow, i can't help but go back to the George Orwell quote over and over again,"In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."
And that is exactly what Ron Paul has done. People ask him how he got to raise so much money, but he hardly gets any coverage in the press, it's because the people that do listen to what he has to say are fucking blown away, cuz he's simply telling the truth.
And because of that, it's made me embrace the truth more and more in my life.
I mean just over the weekend i finally got enough balls together to finally ask justin a question about something that has been bothering me since the second we got together, cuz i knew in my heart of hearts there was something he wasn't telling me.
And i finally got the truth from him over the weekend, and ya know what? I felt like it did set me free, i feel this huge ugly cloud that had been hanging over me for 5 years just go away.
Granted there could of been a lot different ways i could of brought it up or handled it, but i was really at a loss on how to ever bring it up to him. No matter how i brought it up, it would of started a fight.
Finally, i just didn't care anymore if it did start a fight or not, it wouldn't be the first fight we've had.
When it comes to being told the truth anymore, i starve for it. ya watch the mainstream news everyday like i do, and behind the tiger story in California, is a story about the Mexican government wanting an id card for all it's workers, which just happens to have a microchip in every card.
Anyhow, it's also been a scary year. My brother almost died from a diabetic coma. My father had 2 mild heart attacks. My youngest daughter started pre-school (with no help from me but her uncle). Justin's mom moved away, which has been interesting from a bystanders point of view on how their family is handling it.
For me personally though, i feel like the year 2007 has been a giant awakening for me. This year i researched more into the JFK assassination and that vital piece of truth that our government is still with holding from us still eludes me, and a lot of other Americans for that matter.
Because of Alex Jones and Ron Paul i actually read the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights. I pretty much read it everyday now, like a Jesus Freak would read the Bible everyday.
The history of the founding of our country, and what lead up to that beautiful day of the signing of the Declaration of Independence fascinates me now.
I truly believe that to cause any real change in this country like a lot of us crave, we need to bring back the spirit of the American Revolution and stand up to tyranny. Do you know the revolution was only fought by 3% of the people?
That's why i have the Sam Adams (no not the beer) quote on my blog,"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
I was telling justin over the weekend, i can no longer vote for the lesser of two evils anymore. Not after someone so bravely and boldly like Ron Paul has run and has spoken out against tyranny, i can no longer vote for the lesser of two evils. NO more.
I can no longer live with myself and be happy with my conscience if i allow myself to vote for someone who will bring more of the same. And that's exactly what we will get if a Ron Paul or a Mike Gravel or a Dennis Kucinich does not get into office.
Happy New Year, i'm sick of writing now :-D Goodbye....

New York Times Retracts Ron Paul Racist Smear
New York Times December 27, 2007
A post in The Medium that appeared on Monday about the Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and his purported adoption by white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups contained several errors.
Stormfront, which describes itself as a "white nationalist" Internet community, did not give money to Ron Paul's presidential campaign; according to Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Paul's campaign, it was Don Black, the founder of Stormfront, who donated $500 to Paul.
The original post also repeated a string of assertions by Bill White, the commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party, including the allegation that Paul meets regularly "with members of the Stormfront set, American Renaissance, the Institute for Historic Review and others" at a restaurant in Arlington, Va. Paul never attended these dinners, according to Benton, who also says that Paul has never knowingly met Bill White.
Norman Singleton, a congressional aide in Paul's office, says that he met Bill White at a dinner gathering of conservatives several years ago, after which Singleton expressed his indignation at the views espoused by White to the organizer of the dinner. The original post should not have been published with these unverified assertions and without any response from Paul.

Estulin: Neo-Cons Behind Potential Hit On Ron Paul Investigative reporter goes further on last week's revelations
Prison Planet December 23, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet December 23, 2007 Paul Joseph Watson
Investigative reporter Daniel Estulin has gone further with his bombshell revelation first voiced last week that political insiders are considering a plot to assassinate Ron Paul, today identifying the Neo-Con camp as being behind the potential hit.
Appearing on The Alex Jones Show, Estulin said that his sources for the information were real patriots who love America and are desperate to see the truth get out, but that he always took the precaution of getting verification from more than one individual on each piece of information he releases.
"What I said about Ron Paul last week came from two different people who don't know each other," said Estulin, adding that his source had in turn got the information from sources within the Neo-Con camp and that it was individuals from within the Neo-Con camp that are considering what would happen if Ron Paul was assassinated.
Estulin stressed that to elaborate any further he would need to seek permission from those giving him the information to retain their confidence and trust.
"I am getting information from my sources that there are people involved from a higher level of the American establishment who are seriously considering - this has not been confirmed - but assassination is definitely on the agenda and I pray to God that this is not the case," Estulin first told Jones last week.
As we reported following the initial release of the information, Estulin, author of the global bestseller The True Story of the Bilderberg Group , described the concept as a "trial balloon from the inner core within the inner core - it hasn't gone beyond that but it is obviously on the table because I think needless to say they are very much concerned," he added.
Ron Paul himself has stated on a previous o ccasion that he is aware of the dangers of being such a bold icon for freedom and understands that political assassinations have occurred in the past.
In a June appearance on The Alex Jones Show, Congressman Paul acknowledged that such a threat is "real," agreeing with a number of historical examples where leaders were killed or attacked for successfully standing up to the system. "That's right. They'll do it," Paul said, making reference with Alex Jones to upstarts like Andrew Jackson, "The Kingfish" Huey Long, Bobby Kennedy, George Washington and even George Wallace.
Another secret service source told Estulin that the message scrolled across the bottom of the screen during Ron Paul's CNN interview on Tuesday, "Paul is dead, Paul is dead, Paul is dead," was potentially more than just a matter of quoting a joke made by Mike Huckabee about attacks on his campaign ads, but in fact could be taken as a threat or even a cue to Paul's would-be assassin.
Estulin noted that a similar thing occurred before the assassination of Robert Kennedy in 1968, but was quick to caution that he could not confirm the authenticity of the judgment that this was related to the consideration of a plot to kill the Congressman.

Clinton seizes opportunity after crisis

Friday afternoon began with possible tragedy: a hostage crisis at Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign office in Rochester, N.H.As the incident unfolded, Clinton’s campaign closed its doors and canceled her public appearances.
But nightfall brought a happy ending: the campaign workers safe, the man in police custody — and the New York senator flying to the scene to express thanks.
The hostage-taking itself offered a rare, if small, genuine drama in a campaign season governed by strict schedules and scripted stump speeches.
And as soon as it ended, Clinton took full advantage of the opportunity she had unexpectedly been handed.
In her New Hampshire press conference, she stood before a column of police in green and tan uniforms. She talked of meeting with hostages. She mentioned that she spoke to the state’s governor about eight minutes after the incident began.The scene was one of a woman in charge.
“It looked and sounded presidential,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. “This was an instance of the White House experience of this campaign. They knew how to handle this.”
That the crisis was outside Clinton's control gave it a rare quality in this era of hyper-controlled politicking, Sabato added.“What’s most important about it is that it’s not contrived,” he said. “It’s a real event and that distinguishes it from 99 percent of what happens in the campaign season.”
Clinton’s campaign has long been dogged by key questions: Is she authentic, does she genuinely have the experience to be president and is the country ready for a woman as commander-in-chief — especially during wartime?
“She has never run anything. And the idea that she could learn to be president as an internship just doesn’t make any sense,” former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, said in one campaign ad.Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has argued the same line.
“I don’t know Hillary’s experience,” Giuliani has said. “She’s never run a city, she's never run a state. She’s never run a business. She has never met a payroll. She has never been responsible for the safety and security of millions of people, much less even hundreds of people.”
Looking the part
Friday presented Clinton with a moment to look the part of president.“You had one of these breaking news stories ... and so everybody was glued to the set,” said Robert Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University. “She got on TV and provided a sense of closure and executive cool. It is like how Giuliani used television during his crisis.
“There was a sense that this was a dress rehearsal of how she was going to deal with ... crisis as president,” Thompson added.
In her two public appearances after the hostages were freed, she was stern, but she also spoke of the concerns she felt as a mother, admitting to a “horrible sense of bewilderment” and “outrage.”
Her decision to express her personal anxieties offered a window into how she may veer into territory men avoid — personal feelings during a possible public tragedy.
The personal has at times been hard to find in Clinton. She heads the largest and most manicured of all operations.
Her campaign has an especially organized staff that surrounds her. She stays on script and she stays on schedule. Even as she flew to New Hampshire on Friday evening, she was planning to return to Iowa on Saturday in order to keep on schedule.

What the hostage incident offered Clinton was a brief reprieve from the petty narrative of her versus Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, a break from what at times has devolved to intraparty bickering.
“Voters look for opportunities to see how candidates react in crisis,” Sabato said. “And this was a mini crisis.”

John F. Kennedy 
1917-1963
Let us not forget what we lost 44 years ago tomorrow.
Until we are told the truth about what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas Texas, everything we build our country on is a lie. Everything we are told to believe should be questioned, because if they still haven't told us the truth about what happened to John F. Kennedy, how are we to believe what they are telling us today is really the truth?

"The Revolution" By Chris de Burgh
Wake up boys, there's a light at the window,
I can hear someone knocking on the door,
There are voices in the street,
And the sound of running feet,
And they whisper the word --"Revolution!"
There are men coming down from the valleys,
There are tall ships lying off the coast,
And they carry the light,
In the dark of the night,
Like a whisper in the wind --"Revolution!"
Bring my gun and a handful of silver,
By the sea we will gather for the fight,
It's been so many years,
So many tears,
We have lost once before,
Now we'll settle the score,
When our cannons will roar --"Revolution!"
Watch and Wait get ready for the sign
There are many here among us now have not seen the light
We must send the word to all the people in the land
Go To Every hill and mountain for the time is now at hand to
Light Your Fire
Light Your Fire
You'll See Tonight!!

Paul's reported one-day haul: more than $4.2 million
With months of planning he says he taps into more than 22,000 donors on the internet, but still lags way back in polls.

November 6, 2007
WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, aided by an extraordinary outpouring of Internet support Monday, claimed to haul in more than $4.2 million in nearly 24 hours.Paul's reported total deposed Mitt Romney as the single-day fundraising record holder in the Republican presidential field.
When it comes to sums amassed in one day, Paul now ranks behind only Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. Paul, the Texas congressman with a libertarian tilt and an out-of-Iraq pitch, entered such heady fundraising territory with a surge of Web-based giving tied to Guy Fawkes Day. Fawkes was a British mercenary who failed in his attempt to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605.

Fawkes was a British mercenary who failed in his attempt to kill King James I on Nov. 5, 1605.
He also was the model for the protagonist in the 2005 movie "V for Vendetta," which was adapted from David Lloyd's graphic novel of the same name. Paul backers motivated Internet donors by posting mashed-up clips of the film on YouTube. Paul spokesman Jesse Benton said backers began the effort independently about two months ago.
He said Paul picked up on the movement, mentioning it in speeches and interviews. "It's been kind of building up virally," Benton said. The $3.5 million, he said, represented online contributions from more than 22,000 donors. Paul has lagged way back in the polls behind Republican front- runners.
But he captured national attention at the end of September when he reported raising $5.2 million in three months, putting him fourth among Republican presidential candidates in fundraising for the quarter. As of Monday, Paul had raised $6.3 million since Oct. 1, more than half his goal of $12 million by the end of the year, according to his website.
The 72-year-old Paul advocates limited government and low taxes like other Republicans, but he stands alone as the only GOP presidential candidate opposed to the Iraq war.
He also has opposed Bush administration security measures that he says encroach on civil liberties.

I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: "I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

We Are Change NYC Confronts Norman Podhoretz!!
This video is great! Norman Podhoretz is a neo con who signed the PNAC documents back in the late 90's. He is also the foreign policy adviser to the Rudy Giuliani campaign, that alone should tell you a lot about the Giuliani campaign. He's speaking at a Barns and Noble in NYC and it's the question and answer period and tons of people from the We Are Change organization (the same organization that infiltrated the Bill Maher Show, only the NYC branch) just hits this guy with tough question after tough question! It's beautiful, and the hate and disrespect he spews out to the We Are Change people is crazy! Total Neo Con trash!

Loose Change Final Cut - Teaser Trailer
Loose Change announced the internet release of Final Cut for November 11th.... SWEET!!
"D'you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "Peace could last forever"And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land"
My new favorite song
"Civil War" By Guns and Roses
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land
And I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

Ron Paul CSPAN Washington Journal Interview 3 of 3 10-12-07
Ron Paul 2008!!! I love this interview! After the last debate and the last few interviews i've seen with Ron Paul i am convinced that he is our only hope for any kind of real change. Everybody has been screaming for a revolution, even my mother for fucks sake!! If you want a revolution, support Ron Paul. Plain and simple. Hillary, Obama, Edwards, all of them on the left aren't gonna change anything they're just gonna give you more of the same. The definition of a revolution is "a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving". That's exactly what Ron Paul stands for if you listen to him.

Ron Paul on congressional authorization to go to war
Vote Ron Paul 2008!!! Yet again, he's the only one on either side, Republican or Democrat who has any rational train of thought and common sense.

my heart strings have been tugged at for long enough now. The last 3 days have been just a numb feeling of disbelief.
I saw the most heart breaking thing in my life thus far tonight.
My brother... my brother in the hospital, just in total and complete pain. I never felt so helpless in my whole life. I'm scared for him. I don't even know what to write in here now, a minute ago i was just swirling with emotion and thoughts to write down, and now that i'm typing away i don't know how to explain how i feel. Numb is the only way i can describe it.
if i could have any wish right now, i'd trade places with aaron in a heartbeat. I'd rather it be me, i'd rather be the one in the hospital in pain than aaron.
with first my dad's mild heart attack, and just the thought of how lucky and how close he came to a full on heart attack and god forbid what that would of resulted in the end.
Now aaron...
i can't dwell on this stuff, my mind is so tired from thinking and worrying so much. I'm mentally exhausted...
everywhere i look, i see stuff that reminds me of aaron and how he makes me smile.
I just want to tell him how sorry i am for all the times i was a bitch to him....
no tears to cry, no feelings left..
this species has amused itself to death...

I can't sleep... i have a headache that won't cease... my dad had a mild heart attack yesterday...
why do parents have to get old? Why does life drop to such dreaded lows?
"The Flowers" By Regina Spektor
The flowers you gave me are rotting
and still I refuse to throw them away.
Some of the bulbs never opened quite fully
They might so i'm waiting and staying awake.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep
I'll never know if I go to sleep.
The papers around me are piling
and twisting regina the paper back mummy
what then.
I'm taking the knife to the books that I own
and chopping and chopping
and boiling soup from stone.
Things I have loved i'm allowed to keep.
I'll never know if I go to sleep.

What Does Freedom Really Mean?
By Dr. Ron Paul
Fedruary 7, 2007
“…man is not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan
We’ve all heard the words democracy and freedom used countless times, especially in the context of our invasion of Iraq. They are used interchangeably in modern political discourse, yet their true meanings are very different.
George Orwell wrote about “meaningless words” that are endlessly repeated in the political arena*. Words like “freedom,” “democracy,” and “justice,” Orwell explained, have been abused so long that their original meanings have been eviscerated. In Orwell’s view, political words were “Often used in a consciously dishonest way.” Without precise meanings behind words, politicians and elites can obscure reality and condition people to reflexively associate certain words with positive or negative perceptions. In other words, unpleasant facts can be hidden behind purposely meaningless language. As a result, Americans have been conditioned to accept the word “democracy” as a synonym for freedom, and thus to believe that democracy is unquestionably good.
The problem is that democracy is not freedom. Democracy is simply majoritarianism, which is inherently incompatible with real freedom. Our founding fathers clearly understood this, as evidenced not only by our republican constitutional system, but also by their writings in the Federalist Papers and elsewhere. James Madison cautioned that under a democratic government, “There is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual.” John Adams argued that democracies merely grant revocable rights to citizens depending on the whims of the masses, while a republic exists to secure and protect pre-existing rights. Yet how many Americans know that the word “democracy” is found neither in the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence, our very founding documents?
A truly democratic election in Iraq, without U.S. interference and U.S. puppet candidates, almost certainly would result in the creation of a Shiite theocracy. Shiite majority rule in Iraq might well mean the complete political, economic, and social subjugation of the minority Kurd and Sunni Arab populations. Such an outcome would be democratic, but would it be free? Would the Kurds and Sunnis consider themselves free? The administration talks about democracy in Iraq, but is it prepared to accept a democratically-elected Iraqi government no matter what its attitude toward the U.S. occupation? Hardly. For all our talk about freedom and democracy, the truth is we have no idea whether Iraqis will be free in the future. They’re certainly not free while a foreign army occupies their country. The real test is not whether Iraq adopts a democratic, pro-western government, but rather whether ordinary Iraqis can lead their personal, religious, social, and business lives without interference from government.
Simply put, freedom is the absence of government coercion. Our Founding Fathers understood this, and created the least coercive government in the history of the world. The Constitution established a very limited, decentralized government to provide national defense and little else. States, not the federal government, were charged with protecting individuals against criminal force and fraud. For the first time, a government was created solely to protect the rights, liberties, and property of its citizens. Any government coercion beyond that necessary to secure those rights was forbidden, both through the Bill of Rights and the doctrine of strictly enumerated powers. This reflected the founders’ belief that democratic government could be as tyrannical as any King.
Few Americans understand that all government action is inherently coercive. If nothing else, government action requires taxes. If taxes were freely paid, they wouldn’t be called taxes, they’d be called donations. If we intend to use the word freedom in an honest way, we should have the simple integrity to give it real meaning: Freedom is living without government coercion. So when a politician talks about freedom for this group or that, ask yourself whether he is advocating more government action or less.
The political left equates freedom with liberation from material wants, always via a large and benevolent government that exists to create equality on earth. To modern liberals, men are free only when the laws of economics and scarcity are suspended, the landlord is rebuffed, the doctor presents no bill, and groceries are given away. But philosopher Ayn Rand (and many others before her) demolished this argument by explaining how such “freedom” for some is possible only when government takes freedoms away from others. In other words, government claims on the lives and property of those who are expected to provide housing, medical care, food, etc. for others are coercive-- and thus incompatible with freedom. “Liberalism,” which once stood for civil, political, and economic liberties, has become a synonym for omnipotent coercive government.
The political right equates freedom with national greatness brought about through military strength. Like the left, modern conservatives favor an all-powerful central state-- but for militarism, corporatism, and faith-based welfarism. Unlike the Taft-Goldwater conservatives of yesteryear, today’s Republicans are eager to expand government spending, increase the federal police apparatus, and intervene militarily around the world. The last tenuous links between conservatives and support for smaller government have been severed. “Conservatism,” which once meant respect for tradition and distrust of active government, has transformed into big-government utopian grandiosity.
Orwell certainly was right about the use of meaningless words in politics. If we hope to remain free, we must cut through the fog and attach concrete meanings to the words politicians use to deceive us. We must reassert that America is a republic, not a democracy, and remind ourselves that the Constitution places limits on government that no majority can overrule. We must resist any use of the word “freedom” to describe state action. We must reject the current meaningless designations of “liberals” and “conservatives,” in favor of an accurate term for both: statists.
Every politician on earth claims to support freedom. The problem is so few of them understand the simple meaning of the word.

2001 NEWS Report about Skull and bones ritual
Here's an 2001 ABC piece about Skull and Bones where they got a video of the rituals that Skull and Bones does.
The reporter says the mock human sacrifice is "silly fraturnity nonsence" but if you watch the video, it's very disturbing and pretty fucking sick. So making yet again my point to the validity to Andrew Meyer's question to John Kerry if he was a member of Skull and Bones, right before the Gistapo tasered him and violated his rights guaranteed under our Constitution. Kerry did not answer that question but has openly admitted to being a member in the past on Meet The Press in 2004.

Give Up Rights For The "Common Good"?
(Taken from "Citizens Rule Book" a handbook with the Constitution, Jury Handbook, and the Bill of Rights)
Where the people fear the government you have tyranny; where the government fears the people, you have liberty.
Politicians, bureaucrats and especially judges would have you believe that too much freedom will result in chaos. Therefore, we should gladly give up some of our RIGHTS for the good of the community. In other words, people acting in the name of government, say we need more laws and more JURORS to enforce these laws- even if we have to give up some RIGHTS in the process. They believe the more laws we have, the more control, thus a better society. This theory may sound good on paper, and apparently many of our leaders think this way, as evidenced b y the thousands of new laws that are added to the books each year in this country. But, no matter how cleverly this Marxist argument is made, the hard fact is that whenever you give up a RIGHT you lose a "FREE CHOICE"!This adds another control. Control's real name is BONDAGE! The logical conclusion would be, if giving up some RIGHTS produces a better society, then by giving up all RIGHTS we could produce the perfect society. We could chain everybody to a tree, for lack of TRUST. This may prevent crime, but it would destroy PRIVACY, which is the heartbeat of FREEDOM! It would also destroy TRUST which is the foundation for DIGNITY. Rather than giving up RIGHTS, we should be giving up wrongs! The opposite of control is not chaos. More laws do not make less criminals! We must give up wrongs, not rights, for a better society! William Pitt of the British House of Commons one proclaimed,"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human liberty; it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

Because everything would be what it isn't.
And contrary-wise - what it is, it wouldn't be.
And what it wouldn't be, it would.

Never before has that line from Alice in Wonderland hit home so much for me, as to where i am right now.
I really do feel like Alice wandering around in Wonderland, just in total shock of all the craziness going on all around me!
I wasn't going to write about the Andrew Meyer story at all cuz personally i didn't think it was that big of a story to blog about when there are other bigger fish to fry, so to say, that happened last week.
Alan Greenspan, and Ben Bernanke coming out on t.v. all week basically saying the value of the dollar is being devalued, mainly by the Federal Reserve and that the dollar may be replaced by the Euro! That's a little freaky and bigger news than the Andrew Meyer tasering, but it's been brought to my attention, and now looking at some of the comments on YouTube, people are saying that poor guy deserved getting tasered!!!
That's just fucking crazy to me that people are saying such bullshit!!
No, I take that back, it doesn't seem crazy to me, it makes me wanna throw up and it really freaks me out the whole Orwellian applauding of this!
"Thought criminal, thought criminal, take him away to the Ministry of Truth!!!"
Seriously, it's fucking sick!
And the most amazing thing to me is, last week this wasn't the only police brutality incident in the country that was reported in the news.
There was the appalling story of the City Councilmen from Indiana who was throw out by the Mayor in a City Council meeting because god forbid he was trying to exercise his Constitutional right as a representative of the people to be able to speak for more than one minute about the corruption in the city's system. He calmly walked out, and the cops come up behind him and just beat the shit out of him!! Then the kicker is, of coarse the news went and reported it like the Councilmen deserved it and that he started a fight!!
Incredible distortion of the facts right there.
Then there was another story about a wheelchair-bound, schizophrenic woman who was tasered 10 times by police and killed!
What possible excuse could the police have for tasering a wheelchair bound, mentally disabled person??
Now Andrew Meyer, he just happen to be an Alex Jones listener, just like the couple from North Carolina who a cop beat up because they were flying an up side down flag in front of their home.
That story right there just illustrates how uninformed the public is, not to mention the cops.
Andrew Meyer did nothing more than ask the Senator two questions, very relevant questions in my opinion, and the second question i'd really like to hear a response to, but of coarse Kerry didn't answer that question.
Sure Andrew Meyer was a little pissed off when asking his questions, and very well could of asked the questions and made his statement in a more calmly manner, but seriously, if you're not pissed off at what is going on, you are not paying attention. Andrew Meyer asked a very relevant question that the main stream media has not asked him. And when Kerry did answer the question about the voter fraud in Ohio and him conceding the election, on the day after the election, he was caught in a lie that he had read the Greg Palast "Armed Madhouse" book, because if he had really read that book like he told Andrew Meyer he did, then he would of known there were TONS of evidence showing voter suppression and fraud, and that Kerry did in fact win the 2004 election.
Which completely ties into Andrews question about him and Bush being apart of the secret society Skull and Bones.
I mean doesn't it bother you to know that our elected officials all belong to these very secretive clubs? Skull and Bones has shit out many, many officials that have served in our government.
When Andrew Meyer asked his question, it was the Q&A part of the visit, Kerry had already talked for 2 hours. Kerry had called on Andrew Meyer for the sole purpose to ask him a question. I'd like to think we can ask our elected officials, who are supposed to be serving US, the people, i'd like to think we can ask them any god damn question we please. And at this point when the mainstream media isn't asking the questions we want answered, it's time we grow some balls and ask these questions of our elected officials ourselves, cuz the media sure as hell isn't going to bother.
So for exercising his first amendment right, Andrew Meyer was tasered 6 times.
It's time we wake up to the brutality the cops are showing us. The cops in NYC even are being paid more to be more "aggressive" to the citizens!! I mean what the FUCK???
I guess i'm just very appalled at the fact that people are applauding the death of America and the bill of rights. The fact that people are saying he deserved it cuz he was a little pissed off when asking the questions.
Well fuck, if we're all gonna be tasered for being mad at the government, i'd get tasered every fucking night for the way i yell and scream at the t.v. when i watch the nightly news.
As far as i'm concerned, we still have our first amendment right, and these "free speech zones" bullshit the government is pulling on us is totally unconstitutional! Yeah, i'm sure when the founding fathers were writing the first amendment they meant we could have free speech, but only in certain zones that the government chose. Bullshit!!! Your rights are being VIOLATED, if that means anything to the American people anymore.
Sick and sad, i'm just wandering around in Wonderland i guess.
What use to seem normal to me is now fucking crazy....

Driving on that long hard road to eternal glory
"Good Enough" By Evanescence
Under your spell again
I can't say no to you
crave my heart
and its bleeding in your hand
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you torture me so sweetly
now I can't let go of this dream
I can't breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough for you
Drink up sweet decadence
I can't say no to you and
I've completely lost myself and
I don't mind
I can't say no to you
Shouldn't have let you conquer me completely
now I can't let go of this dream
can't believe that I feel Good enough
I feel good enough its been such a long time coming,
but I feel good and
I'm still waiting for the rain to fall
pour real life down on me cause
I can't hold on to anything this good enough
am I good enough for you to love me too?
so take care what you ask of me cause
I can't say no
In less than a week i turn 27. Wow, i never imagined were i'd be at 27, but it sort of a mile stone for me because i've changed so much over the years, and most of all my self confidence is soaring. I've always been that shy quiet girl confused on just about every aspect of her life.
Just in 4 years i've done a 360 from where i stood on almost everything. 4 years ago i was a rock solid liberal, Amy Goodman was like my hero. Now i'm a rock solid constitutionalist, and my hero isn't just one person but many ranging from of coarse Alex Jones, Jim Marrs, JFK, and certainly now Ron Paul. Ron Paul reminds me what it means to be free, and he empowers me to fight till the bitter end to save our constitution.
4 years ago if you would of told me i'd be donating and full on supporting a Republican for president i would of laughed in your face.
Just goes to show how much my eyes have opened and how opened my mind has become.
4 years ago i was obsessing with my looks, how people, especially my boyfriend and just men in general perceived my outer appearance. I wasted 3 years of my life just swallowed by this depression because i was losing what i identified myself with, which was my skinny body, a whole 116 pounds of me. I thought my waist line was what identified me. It's really sad when i look back on it, but all throughout my teenage years i thought if i kept my weight down i could do anything.
Which turned out not to be true. When i finally got an offer for a modeling job, i ditched the interview cuz i was so worried they'd say i was fat!
How fucking sad!!
Now i am without any doubt in my mind, am an aspiring chef. I've discovered my real love in life and a passion that just consumes me everyday. I'm being swept off my feet by something i denied myself to enjoy because i never wanted to gain weight.
Ya know and now, i don't really care what people think of my appearance. What really warms my heart to no end is on the Tool message boards, just recently actually, i was in an argument with this one guy about the History Channels program "9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction". If you haven't seen it, it's a total government propaganda, step in line with the official story and they don't even let Alex Jones and people like him even talk! Anyhow, i was in an argument with this guy and on one of the comments i had posted someone replied with,"God that is so hot, i wish i could meet more girls like you."
THAT fucking tickled me pink!!! Someone actually thinks i'm hot, not because of my looks but really and truly because of my mind. That is wonderful and really what life should all be about, we need to stop judging each other by our outside packages.
Like David Icke says we're all one infinite consciousness.
that's real beauty and life right there, infinite consciousness.....
I'm a 27 year old woman who has a soft spot for drinking Guiness and staying up all night listening to my favorite music. My heart belongs and probably will forever be intertwined with Fiona Apple, David Gray, Tool, Regina Spektor, Evanescence, and Pink Floyd.
My heart strings get pulled when i hear music that really speaks to me, more and more i can't stand uninspired music. The song above and this one i think really speaks to were i am in my life right now. It's all very unchartered road where i feel i am now.
It feels good though... real good :) I'm finally happy...
"Clean Pair Of Eyes" By David Gray
Hear me God Im on the level
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And wake to dream
With a clean pair of eyes
Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
And before the might
Of all thats true
Ill raise my head
And dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Dont need no one to blame
Dont need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes
Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And dream again
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Dont need no right or wrong
Dont need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes
Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoke suns
Love that blinds up fear that cripples
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And wake to dream
And before the might
Of all thats true
Ill raise my head
And dream anew
And before the might
Of all unnamed
Ill raise my head
And dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Happy 27th birthday to me, you did it, keep aiming for your goals, at this point i don't think anything can stop me :)

If you haven't seen it, it's a total government propaganda, step in line with the official story and they don't even let Alex Jones and people like him even talk! Anyhow, i was in an argument with this guy and on one of the comments i had posted someone replied with,"God that is so hot, i wish i could meet more girls like you."
THAT fucking tickled me pink!!! Someone actually thinks i'm hot, not because of my looks but really and truly because of my mind. That is wonderful and really what life should all be about, we need to stop judging each other by our outside packages.
Like David Icke says we're all one infinite consciousness.
that's real beauty and life right there, infinite consciousness.....
I'm a 27 year old woman who has a soft spot for drinking Guiness and staying up all night listening to my favorite music. My heart belongs and probably will forever be intertwined with Fiona Apple, David Gray, Tool, Regina Spektor, Evanescence, and Pink Floyd.
My heart strings get pulled when i hear music that really speaks to me, more and more i can't stand uninspired music. The song above and this one i think really speaks to were i am in my life right now. It's all very unchartered road where i feel i am now.
It feels good though... real good :) I'm finally happy...
"Clean Pair Of Eyes" By David Gray
Hear me God Im on the level
Mapping silence seeing things
Crying laughing like the devil
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And wake to dream
With a clean pair of eyes
Murdered gold and colours flashing
Time like blood like flowing hair
Faces merging airplanes crashing
And before the might
Of all thats true
Ill raise my head
And dream anew
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Dont need no one to blame
Dont need no disguise
No sugar to sweet my brain
A clean pair of eyes
Today I need no commentary
Today I do not need to speak
No explanation necessary
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And dream again
With a clean pair of eyes
A clean pair of eyes
Dont need no right or wrong
Dont need no disguise
No sugar to fix my tongue
A clean pair of eyes
Liquid air and flags that ripple
A tambourine of smoke suns
Love that blinds up fear that cripples
And before the might
Of all thats seen
Ill raise my head
And wake to dream
And before the might
Of all thats true
Ill raise my head
And dream anew
And before the might
Of all unnamed
Ill raise my head
And dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Dream again
Happy 27th birthday to me, you did it, keep aiming for your goals, at this point i don't think anything can stop me :)
Got my Neil Young tickets, FUCK YEAH!!
"Old Man"
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.
Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.
I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.
Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

9/11 - the big cover-up?
Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was 'far from the truth'.
Peter Tatchell
London Guardian
September 12, 2007 10:30 AM
Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack in US history.
What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on September 11 2001.
The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, respectively Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, assert in their book, Without Precedent, that they were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority;and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.
Despite the many public statements by 9/11 commissioners and staff members acknowledging they were repeatedly lied to, not a single person has ever been charged, tried, or even reprimanded, for lying to the 9/11 Commission.
From the outset, the commission seemed to be hobbled. It did not start work until over a year after the attacks. Even then, its terms of reference were suspiciously narrow, its powers of investigation curiously limited and its time-frame for producing a report unhelpfully short - barely a year to sift through millions of pages of evidence and to interview hundreds of key witnesses.
The final report did not examine key evidence, and neglected serious anomalies in the various accounts of what happened. The commissioners admit their report was incomplete and flawed, and that many questions about the terror attacks remain unanswered. Nevertheless, the 9/11 Commission was swiftly closed down on August 21 2004.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories. I prefer rigorous, evidence-based analysis that sifts through the known facts and utilises expert opinion to draw conclusions that stand up to critical scrutiny. In other words, I believe in everything the 9/11 Commission was not.
The failings of the official investigation have fuelled too many half-baked conspiracy theories. Some of the 9/11 "truth" groups promote speculative hypotheses, ignore innocent explanations, cite non-expert sources and jump to conclusions that are not proven by the known facts. They convert mere coincidence and circumstantial evidence into cast-iron proof. This is no way to debunk the obfuscations and evasions of the 9/11 report.
But even amid the hype, some of these 9/11 groups raise valid and important questions that were never even considered, let alone answered, by the official investigation. The American public has not been told the complete truth about the events of that fateful autumn morning six years ago.
What happened on 9/11 is fundamentally important in its own right. But equally important is the way the 9/11 cover-up signifies an absence of democratic, transparent and accountable government. Establishing the truth is, in part, about restoring honesty, trust and confidence in American politics.
There are dozens of 9/11 "truth" websites and campaign groups. I cannot vouch for the veracity or credibility of any of them. But what I can say is that as well as making plenty of seemingly outrageous claims; a few of them raise legitimate questions that demand answers.
Four of these well known "tell the truth" 9/11 websites are:
1) Scholars for 9/11 Truth, which includes academics and intellectuals from many disciplines.
2) 250+ 9/11 'Smoking Guns' a website that cites over 250 pieces of evidence that allegedly contradict, or were omitted from, the 9/11 Commission report.
3) The 911 Truth Campaign that, as well as offering its own evidence and theories, includes links to more than 20 similar websites.
4) Patriots Question 9/11, perhaps the most plausible array of distinguished US citizens who question the official account of 9/11, including General Wesley Clark, former Nato commander in Europe, and seven members and staffers of the official 9/11 Commission, including the chair and vice chair. In all, this website documents the doubts of 110+ senior military, intelligence service, law enforcement and government officials; 200+ engineers and architects; 50+ pilots and aviation professionals; 150+ professors; 90+ entertainment and media people; and 190+ 9/11 survivors and family members. Although this is an impressive roll call, it doesn't necessarily mean that these expert professionals are right. Nevertheless, their scepticism of the official version of events is reason to pause and reflect.
More and more US citizens are critical of the official account. The respected Zogby polling organisation last week found that 51% of Americans want Congress to probe President Bush and Vice-President Cheney regarding the truth about the 9/11 attacks; 67% are also critical of the 9/11 Commission for not investigating the bizarre, unexplained collapse of the 47-storey World Trade Centre building 7 (WTC7). This building was not hit by any planes. Unlike WTC3, which was badly damaged by falling debris from the Twin Towers but which remained standing, WTC7 suffered minor damage but suddenly collapsed in a neat pile, as happens in a controlled demolition.
In a 2006 interview with anchorman Evan Soloman of CBC's Sunday programme, the vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, Lee Hamilton, was reminded that the commission report failed to even mention the collapse of WTC7 or the suspicious hurried removal of the building debris from the site - before there could be a proper forensic investigation of what was a crime scene. Hamilton could only offer the lame excuse that the commissioners did not have "unlimited time" and could not be expected to answer "every question" the public asks.
There are many, many more strange unexplained facts concerning the events of 9/11. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to be puzzled and want an explanation, or to be sceptical concerning the official version of events.
Six years on from those terrible events, the survivors, and the friends and families of those who died, deserve to know the truth. Is honesty and transparency concerning 9/11 too much to ask of the president and Congress?
What is needed is a new and truly independent commission of inquiry to sort coincidence and conjecture from fact, and to provide answers to the unsolved anomalies in the evidence available concerning the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. Unlike the often-stymied first investigation, this new commission should be granted wide-ranging subpoena powers and unfettered access to government files and officials. George Bush should be called to testify, without his minders at hand to brief and prompt him. America - and the world - has a right to know the truth.

Fox GOP Debate, Shameful Tactics and the Smearing of Ron Paul
Never before in my life have i watched a presidential debate and was just left with nothing but disgust and anger over what i had just heard and witnessed. Last nights debate, Fox did everything they possibly could to smear and lie about Ron Paul. Despite the fact that a good majority of the audience broke out in huge applause for the Congressman, Fox deliberately boosted the audio microphones for Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, making sure that their sneers and giggling every time Ron Paul was asked a question was heared by everyone.
When we were watching it last night we thought it was someone in the audience laughing every time a question was posed to Ron Paul, but with my reading into some of the reviews of the debate, it was clear that Fox boosted the mics for Giuliani and Romney, so if you watch the debate the laughter you hear through the whole thing is from those two fuckers.
Ron Paul's first question revolved around a purposeful misquote of his position of allowing airline pilots to be armed. And from then on the public smearing of Ron Paul took place for another 90 minutes.
"The second question though revealed the unbelievable bias of Fox News," writes Anthony Wade. "In response to a question about Iraq and troops, Paul reiterated that we needed to pull the troops home, period. He has consistently said that we need to address the entire foreign policy and start protecting our own borders and our own country. In response to the false notion that there would be a “bloodbath” if we just pulled out, Paul quickly reminded everyone that the same people speculating that there would be a bloodbath are the same people who said Iraq would be a “cakewalk” and a “slam dunk.” He then correctly pointed out the faulty logic that says we need to stay for stability when it is widely reported that our presence on the Arabian Peninsula is what prompted the attacks of 911. The response from Chris Wallace was to pose his own follow up question which was, “So you are saying you would take your marching orders from al Qaeda?”
"Are you kidding me? The inherent bias in the question was disgusting during a debate forum and Chris Wallace revealed himself as nothing but a whore for the machine and not a credible newsperson. Thankfully, Dr. Paul was up to the task by responding that he would take his marching orders from the Constitution."
"Are you kidding me? The inherent bias in the question was disgusting during a debate forum and Chris Wallace revealed himself as nothing but a whore for the machine and not a credible newsperson. Thankfully, Dr. Paul was up to the task by responding that he would take his marching orders from the Constitution."
The last question was a "hypothetical" about Iran using nukes and threatening Israel. Ron Paul was asked first to set the stage for the rest of the panel to attack him on his answer.
Then after the debate the smearing just continued with Sean Hannity continually attacking the Congressman every chance he got. He even went as far as to say "Paulites" were cheating in the text voting of who won the debate because Ron Paul was winning by 33% with Giuliani a far second with 15%, even though you could not vote twice, clearing trying to dismiss Ron Paul's popularity.
Just the whole display last night was sickening to watch, but I have to give it to Ron Paul, he held his ground and didn't let it get to him. Fox is the most evil news organization in the whole fucking world! And remember to all you Hillary supporters out there, Rubert Murdock who runs Fox is one of the biggest financial supporters to the Hillary campaign.

Ron Paul - Supporter Forced To Remove Campaign Sign
August 22, 2007
Not all the media are biased. A local newspaper in New Hampshire reported on an
annual GOP bbq in the town of Hollis. It could be called "the Ron Paul show,"
they said, since the far bigger crowd that usual consisted mostly of our
supporters. One volunteer even rented an airplane and flew a wonderful sign
around the sky. What great, creative, self-starting people I'm meeting, at
every stop, all of them united by a love of America and American freedom.
Politics is usually about division. But this campaign is just the opposite.
Not only are our volunteers a bunch of happy warriors, but they also practice
the virtues of tolerance and peace, just as they want the nation to do.
The other day, the state chairman of an opposing campaign (not in New
Hampshire!), angrily tore a sign out of one of our supporter's hands and trashed
it. Different people with different beliefs might have responded differently.
But our people, though they'd been standing in the rain all day, applied the
Golden Rule. It's because of quiet heroes that I know we can change this
country.
A reporter in New Hampshire told me this story about Florida: she had seen the
same three supporters working every day passing out our literature, and so
decided to interview them. She was startled to discover that one was a
Republican, one was a Democrat, and one was an Independent. But I wasn't.
Freedom brings us all together. We can all agree on leaving people alone to plan
and live their own lives, rather than trying to force them to obey at the point
of a gun, as runaway government does. Instead of clawing at each other via the
warfare-welfare state, people under liberty can cooperate in a unity of
diversity.
There is no need to use government to threaten others who have different
standards, or to be threatened by them. Looking to our Founders, our
traditions, and the Constitution, we can build, in peaceful cooperation, a free
and prosperous society.
At a talk show in Nashua, New Hampshire, the host asked me about the fair tax.
Well, I agree on getting rid of the IRS, I told her, but I want to replace it
with nothing, not another tax. But let's not forget the inflation tax, I said.
This was something she had never considered, but after I talked about the
depreciation of our dollar by the Federal Reserve, its creation of artificial
booms and busts, and its bailouts of the big banks and Wall Street firms, to the
detriment of the average person, she loved it. That is another tax, she agreed,
a hidden and particularly vicious tax.
They try to tell us that the money issue is boring or irrelevant. In fact, it
is the very pith of our social lives, and morally, Constitutionally, and
economically, the central bank is a disaster. Thanks to the work of this
movement, Americans are starting to understand what has been hidden from them
for so long: that we have a right to sound and honest money, not to a dollar
debauched for the special interests.
Unconstitutional government has created a war crisis, a financial crisis, a
dollar crisis, and a freedom crisis. But we don't have to take it. We don't
have to passively accept more dead soldiers, a lower standard of living, rising
prices, a national ID, eavesdropping on our emails and phone calls, and all the
rest.
We can return to first principles, and build the brightest, most brilliant
future any people on earth has ever aspired to. Help me teach this lesson.
Help me campaign all over this country, in cooperation with our huge and growing
volunteer army. Help me show that change is not only possible, but also
essential. Please, make your most generous contribution
(https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate/) to this campaign for a Constitutional
presidency worthy of our people. Invest in freedom: for yourself, for your
family, for your future.
Sincerely,
Ron

"An evil exists that threatens every man, woman and child in this great nation. We must take steps to ensure our domestic security and protect our homeland"- Adolf Hitler, taken from a speech after the fire bombing of the Reichstag
(Picture above, FEMA training manual cover)
War Games
Multiple War Games Were Being Conducted on 9/11/01
Several different war game exercises were in play on the day of the attack. The limited public information on these exercises shows that they simulated the following events:
Hijackings
Attacks on buildings using aircraft as missiles
Attacks using toxic or infectious substances
These events are all elements of the actual attack, which involved four alleged hijackings, three jetliner crashes into buildings, and the toxic calamity at Ground Zero in the wake of the World Trade Center's destruction.
Operation Northern Vigilance
Conducted from September 9-11, this exercise redeployed jets that normally patrolled the northeast sector to northern Canada and Alaska. It echoed a Russian exercise scheduled from September 10-14 in which long-range bombers were dispatched to their northern territory.
The Vigilant Warrior and Vigilant Guardian Training Exercises
These were apparently a pair of war games (attacker versus defender) which involved live-fly simulations of hijackings. Both this pair of exercises and Northern Vigilance probably involved the use of "injects" into screens to simulate aircraft. These games apparently resembled the actual attack sufficiently to confuse military officers, as suggested by the following transcript.
FAA Boston Center contacts NEADS, saying, "We need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out." “Is this real world or an exercise?” asked the military liaison officer? "No, this is not an exercise," responded the FAA official. "Not a test."
The only known source for the exercise named Vigilant Warrior is Richard Clarke's book, Against All Enemies. It is possible that the exercise referred to by Clarke was actually Amalgam Warrior, a NORAD field training exercise involving life-fly air interception, held twice yearly, in the spring on the East Coast and the fall on the East Coast.
The Global Guardian Exercise
On the morning of the attack, a large-scale military training exercise called Global Guardian was "in full swing." Global Guardian is an annual exercise involving Stratcom (the US Strategic Command), the US Space Command, and NORAD.
There is evidence that the date of the 2001 Global Guardian exercise was changed to correspond with the the terrorist attack. NBC News military analyst William Arkin, in his book Code Names, gives the date of the exercise as October 22-31, 2001. Also, a military newspaper, the Space Observer, reported in an article dated 3/23/01 that the exercise was scheduled for October of that year.
Stratcon directed the exercise, which included all the US strategic forces, from Offutt Air Force Base.
The National Reconnaissance Office Plane Crash Drill
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) "provides our nation its eyes and ears in space." It operates a system of reconnaissance satellites to provide real-time monitoring of objects in the skies. On 9/11/01 the NRO headquarters in Chantilly, VA, were evacuated as part of a "plane into building" drill. The scenario involved a small corporate jet crashing into one of the campus' four towers.
The Timely Alert II Terrorism Drill
On the morning of the attack, personnel at the Fort Monmouth Army base in New Jersey were preparing to hold a drill, for the days of September 11 and 12, to test preparedness to respond to a chemical attack. The exercise was to involve law enforcement and emergency responders including the New Jersey State Police and Fort Monmouth Fire Department. Just before the exercise was to commence, reports of the attack in New York City surfaced and "real world events overtook the exercise," in the words of Army spokesman Timothy L. Rider.
The Tripod II Biowarfare Exercise
FEMA had deployed to New York City on September 10 to set up a command post at Pier 29, supposedly in preparation for a biowarfare exercise scheduled for September 12.

Ron Paul May be Only Hope of Avoiding Draft
Special contributor Jennifer Reynolds suggests that 2008 US Presidential candidate Ron Paul may be the only hope of avoiding a draft. The subject of a draft came into play this week.
A top U.S. military officer in charge of co-ordinating the U.S. war effort in Iraq said yesterday that it makes sense to consider a return of the draft to meet the U.S. military's needs.
Lieutenant-General Douglas Lute, said the all-volunteer military is serving "exceedingly well" and the administration has not decided a draft is needed.
But in an interview with National Public Radio, he said, "I think it makes sense to certainly consider it, and I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table."
Does that sound scary? Do you think it is an over reaction? General Lute, the new War Czar, announced today, August 10, 2007:"Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush's new war adviser said Friday."I think it makes sense to certainly consider it," Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Ron Paul warned us all of this possibility back in November but it never made the headlines. In fact, I am sure most of you never even knew he said it. Once again, Ron Paul has proved to be the most prescient candidate running for President. More importantly, he wants to protect your children and if you are under thirty: he wants to protect your LIFE. Here is what Dr. Paul wrote on November 27, 2006:"Once again the possibility of reinstating a military draft is being discussed in Washington, and while the idea seems remote it is not unthinkable.
Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel of New York, soon to be a powerful committee chair, has openly called for reinstating the Selective Service System. Retired Army General Barry McCaffrey claims that our ground forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq are stretched far too thin, and desperately need reinforcements. Meanwhile, other political and military leaders suggest that several hundred thousand additional troops might be needed simply to restore some semblance of order in Iraq. We are nearing the point where a choice will have to be made: either decrease our troop commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan significantly, or produce thousands of new military recruits quickly. So a discussion of military conscription is not purely academic.
Yet the Department of Defense remains steadfastly opposed to a draft. A Pentagon report stated that draft registration could be eliminated "with no effect on military mobilization and no measurable effect on military recruitment." Most military experts believe a draft would actually impair military readiness, despite the increase in raw manpower, because of training and morale problems.
So why is the idea of a draft even considered? One answer is that our military forces are spread far too thin, engaged in conflicts around the globe that are none of our business. With hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in literally hundreds of foreign nations, we simply don't have enough soldiers to invade and occupy every country labeled a threat or deemed ripe for regime change. Given the choice, many in Congress would rather draft more young bodies than rethink our role as world policeman and bring some of our troops home.
Military needs aside, some politicians simply love the thought of mandatory service to the federal government. The political right favors sending young people to fight in aggressive wars like Iraq. The political left longs to send young people into harm's way to save the world in places like Darfur. But both sides share the same belief that citizens should serve the needs of the state-- a belief our founders clearly rejected in the Declaration of Independence.To many politicians, the American government is America. This is why, on a crude level, the draft appeals to patriotic fervor. Compulsory national service, whether in the form of military conscription or make-work programs like AmeriCorps, still sells on Capitol Hill. Conscription is wrongly associated with patriotism, when really it represents collectivism and involuntary servitude.I believe wholeheartedly that an all-volunteer military is not only sufficient for national defense, but also preferable. It is time to abolish the Selective Service System and resign military conscription to the dustbin of American history. Five hundred million dollars have been wasted on Selective Service since 1979, money that could have been returned to taxpayers or spent to improve the lives of our nation's veterans.Ronald Reagan said it best: "The most fundamental objection to draft registration is moral." The notion of involuntary servitude, in whatever form, is simply incompatible with a free society."To the students reading this out there: If you are old enough to vote, vote for Ron Paul. To the parents of children under 30, beat your kids to the polls!!! To the rest of the country: WAKE UP!!!!!! Politics may be boring but it is VITAL that you know what is going on. I just barely caught this message from Douglas Lute on a ten second mention on a major news network. Your very lives are now at stake. This is no longer a time in history that you can stay asleep and let others dictate who will be your choice for President. You must pay attention now. Learn about Ron Paul. He has been warning all of you about this for almost a year. Ron Paul is and has always been AGAINST THE DRAFT. Please go to that link. Read the articles. Ron Paul will protect your children and if you are of draft age, he will protect you too. It is just too bad that 16 year olds cannot vote, because this is the most important Presidential election in their lives as well. Keep in mind, women serve in the military too. It is very possible a draft would include women as well as men. Or should I say girls as well as boys. At 18, you should be worrying about what to wear to the prom, not whether you will be taken against your will and put in a country where people are shooting at you. Ok, so the draft is bad, but why should I support Ron Paul? Because he has written article upon article against the draft and wrote that we need to abolish the Selective Service Service. You can trust that people will behave in the future the way they have behaved in the past. On a positive note, Ron Paul strongly exceeded expectations this weekend in the non-binding Iowa Straw Poll. Mitt Romney was the expected winner due to the fact that he literally bussed Iowans to Ames from all over the state and paid the purchase price for every single supporter. Tickets cost $35 each. Romney had also spent nearly a month canvassing the state and so it was no surprise that he won. But Ron Paul proved to his critics that he could turn Internet support into real votes. The mainstream media had him polling around one or two percent, so imagine everyone's surprise when Ron Paul tripled that figure and took 9% of the votes. Dr. Paul had only been campaigning in Iowa for the past week due to his heavy schedule in Congress. In a surprising twist of events, Ron Paul supporters proved to be a little prescient too. The day before the Straw Poll they sought an injunction to stop the event over the use of Diebold Election Systems machines that the group claimed to have fundamental weaknesses and insisted that paper backup ballots be used as well. The injunction was not granted, but it is a good thing they had the back-up ballots because a few of the machines did fail and the paper ballots had to counted by hand delaying the results for hours. It proves, it is always prudent to stay vigilant over the democratic process.Back to the real issue at hand. It is great that Ron Paul did so well in the Straw Poll, but our very lives are on the line. This weekend I could find five newscasters who talked about a story about a baby pig who fell out of truck onto the highway, but the fact that the draft is being reconsidered deserved only a ten second mention. Has the world gone insane? Now, more than ever, Ron Paul's supporters are needed not just to get their man elected, but to protect us all from conscription. The good news is they just may be able to do it. I checked a month or two ago and Ron Paul had around 16,000 members in Meetup.com a site that gets people together of like interests to promote or discuss a cause. As of right now he has 32,632 members in 698 groups. I am sure that number will change by the time you click on it. If we continue this war we will need more troops and they will need to be drafted. Ron Paul is the only Republican who has promised to end this war now. And unlike many leading Democrats, Ron Paul will end it now and not leave a soldier behind.
