  • From Unclaimed Territory or Salon?

    Do you mean in your blog or Salon as a whole? I am talking about Salon, not Unclaimed Territory. An example from Salon, the Obama article on the front page.

    Not to take anything away from the good service you are doing, but here is another example of how a Patriot acts:

    I wouldn't be surprised if he has read your book. And those boos? they are booing Scoop and Dump Ghouliani on the teletron:

    And here is more taboo breaking by discussing the influence of our moderate friends, the Saudis, in Iraq through their amazing and "Democracy Spreading" contribution of up to 40% of the suicide bombers there, that is definitely deserving of 20B in advanced weapons (all while getting educated by hater Sean Hannity):

    He has the balls to say what none of the bought and paid for Israel-first political establishment will dare say, that Israel has nukes, that Iran is no threat to Israel because of said nukes, that the Saudis are a factor in Iraq, that he would pull all troops out of the region completely (flanking the Democrats on the issue), that Real ID needs to be stopped, wiretapping is bad (FISA), that we are involved in a quote "aggressive invasion. We've committed the invasion of this war. And it's illegal under international law" instead of keeping bases there forever (the "mainstream" position), torture is un-American, he doesn't think increasing executive power is ever a solution, and more, all in the limited time he was given. Needless to say he cuts right to the chase. Ask on-the-level Obama or Clinton, on the record, if Israel has nuclear weapons. I bet the answer is something along the lines of the "Israel is our BFF and Iran is a threat to it".

    So where is the RP puff piece after last night? Or hate piece? Or anything besides maybe lumping him in with Gravel/Kucinich every blue moon? I'm sure if Obama stood up and confronted the Military Industrial Complex and the Lobby the way Paul did it would be all over the place and Obama would be the People's Champion. I am still waiting for the establishment to even acknowledge that Israel has nukes, let alone give a number and claim that they are an effective deterrent against Iran (which they are), but of course the big threat is a big lie and just an excuse for Israel and the US to destroy a threat to the empire, and none of that can be exposed. I'm sure Mordecai Vanunu is patiently waiting for that day as well.

    All approved dissent and debate must ignore the sharp rocks in the our little stream and instead attempt to divert the flow around them instead of just removing them.

  • Those clips

    Those clips also outline how serious establishment cheerleaders treat serious issues like national security, the Saudis, Israel, foreign policy, homeland security, etc. when they are not presented as they "should be", with lots and lots of laughter.

    NH is on board the Ron Paul Revolution. And when I say "approved dissent" I don't mean the Interwebs because the net is breaking the Matrix. I mean the garbage I see on TV.

    Powerful people are scared of Paul, and not because of the war. They are using the war to marginalize him so that conservatives don't hear his other messages. The other suits mimic his positions instead. Like Romney blathering about "states' rights" on abortion or Ghouls talking about the Constitution, and sitting there dazed after Paul stands alone in slamming the precious Real ID, a massive threat to our civil liberties... again. I am waiting for Fred Thompson to propose ending birthright citizenship.

    From what I've assumed, one reason Paul is passionate about Real ID ties into his opposition to central banks, the institutions who are probably the most afraid of Paul's message. It is all about the big "conspiracy" that connects the monetary system to RFID chips, a little credit card in your arm. Put chips in bills and scan every bill as it leaves an ATM or gets used, tracking everything. If someone is naughty, just disable their chip. No freedom, no future, total control. But according to Aaron Russo's claims regarding his old friend Jay Rockefeller, if your are special your chip will read "KMA" to the authorities, i.e. Kiss My Ass. The RFID Chip, a Black Trojan Horse for the 21st century slave.
