WASHINGTON, D.C. - I remarked in my last article "Ron Paul Shows Some Outrage (The Gaza Slaughter - Epilogue)" that Congressman Paul (R-TX) was visibly upset at the end of his 2-minute opposition speech to House Resolution 34 which called "on all nations to lay blame both for the breaking of the calm and for subsequent civilian casualties in Gaza precisely where blame belongs, that is, on Hamas."
For those who do not follow Ron Paul quite so much, this is unusual as he typically constrains himself from showing anger. Well, this 4-minute video released Tuesday night by the Campaign for Liberty reveals why. The House had called a last minute vote the night before and started the session one hour earlier than normal. Dr. Paul claims he was notified at the last minute and was barely able to arrive and interject with his opposition for two minutes. (photo)
Paul also related that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair are skipping their appointments with the House Finance committee to fly off to the Swiss Alps to meet with the international banking cartel known as the BIS, or Bank of International Settlements. My guess is that their conversation will cover the price of gold at some point.
However, it is perhaps fortunate that Ron Paul is probably not aware of the following. Reuters reported last week that extremely large ammunition shipments will be shipped from our military depots in Greece to Israel, 325 standard shipping containers packed with explosive death. Why do we have or need depots in Greece you ask? We are a Military-Industrial Empire, baby! Led by our wacky Keynesian economists, this "builds wealth" for our arms dealers (the US government and the defense industry), but accomplishes only destruction in warzones.
In early December, the United States shipped another989 standard containers filled with "2.6 million KG of net explosive weight" from North Carolina to Israel. In September Congress approved the sale of another 1,000 bunker-buster bombs to Israel to be used on "penetrating Hamas's underground rocket launcher sites."
Well, at last check, the Palestinians are still unable to afford a Palestinian Navy, so likely this new ammunition will end up being used against both civilians and Hamas in Gaza and elsewhere. The amount of ordnance shipped in December and January works out to over 2 KG of net explosive weight per Palestinian.
Gotta love to see our tax dollars to see at work! Right? Oh, lost your job or scared of losing it? Wondering if you will ever be able to pay the mortgage or spend time in bread lines? Wonder what type of country your child will grow up in? Don’t worry Obama’s Big Government Stimulus Plan will make everyone soldiers or good little socialist puppets – oops, did I just write that? I meant to say it will soon be all better now!
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Cynthia McKinney and the Israeli Attacks on the Dignity and USS Liberty (The Gaza Slaughter 4/6) Published: January 4, 2009 The recent episode of Cynthia McKinney's defenseless ship getting rammed by the Israeli Navy reminds me of the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty some forty years ago. The story of the men on board the USS Liberty is one that every American should be fully aware of when discussing the Middle East and Israel. And who are the real heroes?
Ron Paul and I Stand Alone on Gaza and Israel (The Gaza Slaughter 5/6) Published: January 4, 2009 Although outvoted last year in the House by a vote of 404-1 on the Gaza situation, Ron Paul declared America's tacit blessing for other nations to start violence preemptive wars as intolerable. I agreed in an article on Kosovo where our embassy was attacked. But did you know some Israeli IDF soldiers agree with us?
Deceptions: A Short Essay on Labeling (The Gaza Slaughter PART 6/6) Published: January 5, 2009 Some thoughts on how labels are used in conversation by human beings and in propaganda by governments, the media and other groups or individuals. If I may be so crass as to quote Shakespeare in Hamlet, "Words, words, words."
Ron Paul Shows Some Outrage (The Gaza Slaughter - Epilogue) Published: January 11, 2009 Congress votes (again) 390-5 to wholeheartedly condemn Hamas and support Israeli military aggression. "This is not in the interest of the United States; it's not in the interests of Israel either." - Ron Paul
The "Great Slump" of 2008 (PART 1/2) Published: December 20, 2008 One of Lord John Maynard Keynes's essays "The Great Slump of 1930" is extremely relevant today as we look forward at the 2009 economy and future governmental antics. Let's take a look!
