Wake Up, Americans. You ain't dead yet.


Just a little boiling blood after the CNN fiasco they tried to pawn off as a "debate."

I've had about all I can stand with the war. There is a part of me (the former Marine) that does believe we should win, the wiser side of me thinks enough is freaking enough. Bush and his cronies have spent enough of our tax dollars to make millions of their own, and it is time to get the hell out. We never *needed* to go there, because the charade over WMDs most probably went as planned- get them out of the country, then go in and kill Hussein. And we certainly don't need to be antagonizing Iran. They are about as much of a threat to our national safety and sovereignty as are Britney and Lidsay, drunk in a beemer.

As much as I support the military I see no reason why our boys can't come home and patrol OUR borders and keep OUR country safe. I for one could give a rat's ass if Iraq returns to a theocratic state, and it wouldn't bother me in the least if Iran and Syria and Turkey and Kuwait all took a nice chunk and called it their own, thereby eliminating Iraq altogether. It's not our business.

Unless you are a complete moron and have lived the past 20 years in a cave, it is obvious we only went there for oil. If you do a little research and pander to the 'conspiracy theorists' and just correlate the facts they present, it paints a very scary picture indeed about what our supposed 'leaders' are doing behind the scenes. What we see on the news frankly can't compare.
Hell, just the amount of executive orders Bush has signed into law- with no oversight nor recompense from Congress- is enough to make your ass pucker. He has, in effect, written himself in as the supreme grand poobah of the world, and can take charge anytime he wants for damn near any reason. If any of you doubt this I will be happy to get you a list of these orders, and post a link to each of them at the official whitehouse.gov website so you can see for yourself.

It is time to be very afraid in the US, especially if one of the groomed and ready establishment candidates gets in there. There's only one who isn't a part of that old boy network, and who is not a member of the council on foreign affairs- if you don't know what the CFR is, let me know and I'll enlighten you on that too. Another 'WTF' moment is in store for you when you find out who that is and what they are up to.

You Canadians should be alarmed as well. These establishment candidates are also working diligently to create the nafta superhighway, from Mexico to canada, which will be an important thoroughfare when the north American union is instituted. Not only will us americans lose our own sovereignty, but so will the mexicans and you canadians, as we all become a single nation-state with the end goal of a single world government. The European Union isn't a fluke- it was merely stage one in the project.

Yeah I am sure there are enough of you laughing and not accepting any of this as truth, rather just more conspiracy crap- but it will be to your own dismay to find out in the future that it was, indeed, true, and looking back you could have done something. What is it that any of us stands to lose, should a true constitutionalist and real republican like Ron Paul becomes president?

There will be no more IRS. There will be no more pointless war in Iraq. There will be no more central bank to manipulate our money to their own ends, to hell with us, the people.

There will be no more ridiculous gun laws. There will be no mandatory realID card. Abortion will be outlawed, as will the Patriot Act. (What an insulting name for it, too.) No tax on the internet.

Is there any of you who can honestly say that you would be dismayed to have a president who would return the gift of personal freedom and liberty to all americans? Not to mention, would allow you to keep that 15 to 25% of illegal taxes the bureaucracy steals from you each and every week? I, for one, cannot see how any american with a shred of true patriotism in his blood, could vote for anyone BUT Ron Paul this year.

I've even gone so far as to get myself appointed as a ballot judge for the county I live in so I can work the polls on our primary day, which happens to be March 4th. And I am also a precinct captain for the Ron Paul campaign. Very rarely has anything come along in my life to move me as much as this man has, and I am giving it my all to see that the word gets out in my township, county and state. The mass media can try to stifle the good doctor, but their own act of silencing the man is what motivates us in the campaign to get the word out even more. They are helping us and they don't even realize it, while at the same time they are cutting their own throats. No great loss to lose Fox, for sure, since they likely wouldn't get a very warm welcome in a Ron Paul white house. CNN and MSNBC aren't very far behind, and CNN's treatment of both Dr. Paul and Mike Huckabee tonight certainly won't do them any favors, and you can rest assured that I and likely thousands of others have spammed the hell out of their emails and phone banks with scathing reprimands for their outright ignorance of two equally viable candidates, while focusing solely on a goddamn pissing contest between a flip-flopper and a warmonger. Even if I wasn't a Ron Paul supporter, I would still be outraged that the media chooses to focus on these non-issues, while there are candidates with pressing issues to discuss being silenced.

That being said, who knows of any good militias or militia organizations? I need to ally with one soon, so I have some kindred spirits with whom to get together when the revolution begins. I will ensure that when the day comes and The Man tries to take my guns, that he earns each and every goddamned one of them. When a free man loses his last bastion of self-defense, that will be the end of free society as we know it, and I refuse to live in a fascist state.

i find it frankly shocking that the majority of americans can remain blind to the nature of these mainstream candidates. How is it so hard to see that McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Clinton and probably even Obama are all really the same candidates wearing a slightly different mask? each one of those candidates will only perpetuate the monolithic corporatocracy that we find ourselves in. its right there in front of everyone's eyes, but it seems that americans have already been dumbed down too much to read between the lines and understand how the American Experiment is failing the world. How else are the people NOT outraged about the BILLIONs of corporate dollars given to candidates running for a PUBLIC office?!?! The fact is that these huge corporations (news corp in particular) are attempting, and in many respects succeeding, to skew opinions towards candidates friendly to their interests. if you think this is nuts then your still living in denial. when there are only a few different mainstream outlets for information (and thanks to the FCC the list will now be even shorter) it becomes very easy to steer the viewers towards any desired position. Most american people are aware that our government considers the interests of big business over the rights and freedoms of the individual; the problem is they've become too stupid to see past the empty rhetoric of 'change' or 'national security' to put someone in office that will have the individual's back. this election process is a crock of shit. with the exception of Paul, these guys are going to continue to expand the great American Military/Corporate Empire until we inevitably overstretch ourselves and reach the breaking point (our economic situation doesn't look too good right now does it? i wonder what experts on the fall of the Roman empire have to say about the political and economic climate of today?). when the shit finally hits the fan, you can count on the people of the world being pissed off. the time will soon come when the people of the world will cease to tolerate these oppressive governments in all forms - ranging from your dictatorships all the way to this laughable 'democracy' that we find ourselves in. For the first time in human history, we will work together as One People to establish a worldwide governing system that acts in a benevolent manner and is so transparent that people of any language or education level can trust in it. I won't pretend to know exactly when this time will come, but this radical departure from a society living in fear of one another into one based on peace and light will be ever closer to fruition as they try harder and harder to control us.

this goes for you as well as any readers that can understand where the human race as a whole is heading...YOU ARE NOT ALONE. if you simply allow yourself to go with the flow of our rEvolution, you will be there to join us in celebration on the day humanity finally becomes civilized. everyOne must keep in mind that the brightest of lights can only be forged with the wisdom gleaned from the darkest fires.

Glad to see I'm not the only pissed off person. LOL I got a little dose of why people think like they do when I got into a discussion about McCain with someone. It was scary. They have really swallowed the bs big time and feel very strong in their beliefs. The words that came out their mouth sounded like it bounced off the pages of CFR propaganda. Also,gun control is coming down big time and by back door measures we can't control. Things are pretty crazy. Ron Paul Revolution 2008, stay strong.
