AMERICA'S TREASONOUS LILLYPUTIANS

AMERICA'S TREASONOUS LILLYPUTIANS

By John W. Wallace

In 1726, Jonathan Swift wrote “Gulliver’s Travels” which was a story of an English surgeon, named Lemuel Gulliver, who takes to the high seas when his business in England fails. Gulliver's multiple adventures begin in a place called Lilliput when he awakens on a beach after a shipwreck only to find himself immobilized and tied down by thousands of tiny threads woven around him by the very tiny Lilliputians. If Gulliver had been awake, he could easily have snapped these threads individually or in small numbers and the Lilliputians would never have succeeded in taking control of Gulliver and making him their prisoner. Those tiny threads were multiplied and woven hundreds and thousands of times by the Lilliputians while Gulliver was sleeping. By the time Gulliver finally did wake up, it was too late. He was totally incapacitated and unable to do anything. He was at the mercy of his new masters, the Lilliputians.Just like Gulliver, the American people appear to be either asleep or unaware of the growing danger of being incapacitated by America’s own version of the Lilliputians, who are nothing more than well financed traitors to this great country. Do not underestimate the danger. There is a network of prominent individuals and organizations, led by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), who are very much like the Lilliputians in Gulliver’s Travels. Pushing the globalist agenda of their masters, these individuals and organizations are extremely well financed by large international banking and corporate foundations and they currently pose more of a danger to America’s freedoms, liberties and sovereignty than any foreign enemy.After World War II, this same network of individuals and organizations were instrumental in the founding of the United Nations, which was specifically designed to be used as an instrument for the creation of the New World Order. The American delegation to the San Francisco meeting that drafted the charter of the United Nations in 1949 included many CFR members such as Nelson Rockefeller, John Foster Dulles, John Mc Cloy and the Secretary-General of the conference, Alger Hiss, who was later arrested as a communist spy for Russia, as were several other prominent CFR members.This growing network of individuals and non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) have been instrumental in using our country’s membership in the United Nations and other international organizations to circumvent the US Constitution by gradually expanding the role and power of these international organizations in an effort to diminish our own sovereignty. They advocate giving a wide variety of international organizations ever increasing powers at the expense of the sovereignty of individual nations. They also advocate for the consolidation of international finances and money creating powers into the hands of a few private international banks. All of this is proposed for the benefit of all mankind, of course, and they always push for global organizations to solve global issues.The individual “threads of change” that America’s own traitorous Lilliputians use against their fellow Americans are varied and if examined individually would not appear to pose to any big danger to our way of life in America. But added together, these individual “threads of change” are placing American’s freedoms, liberties and sovereignty at risk. This is one reason that many Americans today feel that the American way of life is being attacked and challenged every single day from a hundred different directions and they are right.Here are a few of the “threads of change” currently being woven around America’s freedoms, liberties and sovereignty by these traitorous enemies within out own country:

Millions of dollars in “legal” special interest bribes to our politicians every year
12-20 million illegal aliens allowed to remain in the country costing the American taxpayers billions of dollars
Election fraud through the use of new electronic voting machines without paper trails
Downplaying of the importance of English as our official language
Destroying our manufacturing jobs through unfair trade agreements like NAFTA that benefit corporations over American workers
Growing influence of private, non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) like the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission on our government’s political leaders and policies
Failed social engineering programs in housing, education, finance, employment, etc
Expansion of underfunded entitlement programs
Ever increasing taxation of the people at every level of government
Frequent attacks on the Second Amendment rights of American citizens from every level of government
Creation of one financial crises after another that are designed to allow the federal government and the Federal Reserve to assume a larger role in controlling the economy even though the federal government’s own actions, policies and legislation caused the crises in the first place
Federal government’s use of the threat of terrorism as an excuse to become more intrusive into our everyday lives and thereby place more and more limitations on our personal freedoms and liberties
Increasing use of prescription drugs to alter the behavior of more and more Americans. For example: At the present time, there are 6 million children under the age of 18 in the USA who have been prescribed mind-altering psychotropic drugs like Ritalin
Deliberate “dumbing down” of the American education system through revised teaching methods and the re-writing of textbooks to include politically correct and globalist agendas
Deliberate and frequent attacks on mainstream organized religions (particularly Jewish and Christian)
Surrender of our government’s constitutional power to create money to a group of private international bankers (the Federal Reserve) who answer to no one and who are slowly and deliberately bankrupting this country through the use of “fiat’ money
Manipulated and biased news stories from the mainstream media that are too often designed to support the political agendas of their owners, international bankers and corporations, special interest groups and even their favorite political candidates
Politicization and manipulation of science by special interest groups for political gain through the use of legal and/or economic pressure to influence the findings of scientific research and then using their own media outlets to control the way it is disseminated, reported or interpreted. Global Warming is a prime example of this process
The endless cycle of war that has occurred since America became a member of the United Nations. The UN charter has allowed our politicians to send American troops into combat on foreign soil without formal Declarations of War
The step by step surrender of our nation’s sovereignty to an ever expanding and un-elected United Nations bureaucracy in order to promote the need for a “New World Order” and “One World Government” under the guise of fighting common global threats against all the people of the earth including the pollution of the oceans, the aids epidemic, third world poverty, terrorism and global warming

Unfortunately, the previous list is only a small fraction of the “threads of change” that are being woven around and through American society today by America’s enemy within. Although this traitorous network of individuals and organizations is relatively small, they have an unlimited amount of money at their disposal to use to pursue their globalist agenda.They advance their agenda by:
1. Using their own group members currently in high government positions,2. Using individuals and research groups financed by their own non-profit foundations, and3. Using the media companies they own to bring pressure on government officials from several different directions at once.

The long term plan of America’s Lilliputians has been to use a small “step by step” process, or “thread by thread” change process that is designed to slowly but steadily advance their goals while at the same time going virtually unnoticed by the majority of Americans. Unfortunately, their success in implementing their goals will gradually convert the USA from a sovereign nation into a subservient position in the new world order run by non-elected, appointed bureaucrats selected by the international bankers.The sheer numbers of these individual globalist “threads of change” that threaten America’s freedoms, liberties and sovereignty have been increasing dramatically in the last few decades. As these “threads of change” are very carefully woven deeper and deeper into the fabric of American society by the enemy within and are combined with other “threads of change,” they are steadily becoming stronger and more difficult to break.If America fails to awaken soon to the danger that these traitorous American Lilliputians pose to this country, we too, like Lemuel Gulliver, will find ourselves totally incapacitated, without individual freedoms and liberties and unable to do anything about it. The grip of these international criminals must be broken and the threats against our liberties, freedoms and our nation’s sovereignty must be eliminated before it is too late.If the plan of the international bankers is ultimately successful, the US constitution will gradually be superseded by international laws, rules, regulations and legal decisions of the International World Court.If we do nothing and the traitorous Lilliputian international bankers are successful in fully implementing their globalist agenda for America, we will all be destined to be poor, overtaxed, unarmed, bound by the chains and shackles of servitude and at the mercy of our new masters.

Yard Sign Freedom Fighter

Hastings,MN-Supporter Chris Chandler of Hastings, MN made headlines this morning in the Hastings Star Gazette for standing up against restrictions on his right to freedom of speech. After placing a Ron Paul for President sign (purchased while volunteering for the early Iowa efforts) in his front yard, Mr. Chandler was informed by letter that doing so was a violation of local ordinances.The full story can be found on the Hastings Star Gazette website located here. In brief, Chris Chandler took it upon himself to research similar cases in the State of Minnesota dealing with free speech, learning that the city’s ordinance was in defiance of the First Amendment’s “content neutral” protections. On October 17th, after informing city officials of the conflict between their ordinance and federal law, Mr. Chandler was informed that he may continue to display his sign without fear harassment from police or code enforcement. Also, the city council will now review suggested changes to the ordinance as it pertains to private property and the protection of all forms of speech.Congratulations on a Job Well Done!Bravo!

Fox News 'Stacked the Deck' at Latest Debate?

Late night reports around the Internet paint a picture of a Fox debate audience that was hand-picked to rebut Jeffersonian conservative Ron Paul's small-government message.Was the anti-Ron Paul fix in? GOP Jeffersonian conservative presidential candidate Ron Paul signaled that he believed it probably was in a victorious, post-debate interview, pointing out that he was only allowed a certain percentage (relatively minor) of audience tickets. While Sean Hannity (see related story) indicated that Ron Paul supporters "stacked" the cell-phone poll that showed Ron Paul won the debate, the truth may be the reverse. By placing the debate in Florida, a stronghold of the Bush/Giuliani wing of the Republican party, and by setting the rules to select a neo-conservative audience, Fox and the Republican party apparently got what it could not get in New Hampshire - an anti-Ron Paul crowd.(See reactions at DailyPaul.com, LewRockwell.com/blog or even the posting board at such sites as MSNBC for more comments on the Fox audience composition)http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/21/423074.aspx

ZIONIST MEDIA ATTACKS RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT

It wasn't humiliating enough that Ron Paul won the first debate hands down, that Fox News first refused to invite him to their debate, changed their mind due to viewer phones calls. What hurt was that he won the 2nd debate as well even though the rabid Zionists Hannity and Colmes attacked Ron Paul after the debate. But Ron Paul still won debate #2 and well.

- Scary movie music.... Deep voice narration....What will you do when the economy goes under? What will you do? Who will be your leader? Someone who voted for the War in Iraq (Hillary), someone who keeps us there (Hillary), someone who as is guilty as Bush for spending Billions and Billions of dollars and causing an economic meltdown?..... Sweet heroic music..."Or someone with the wisdom to see the big picture, someone who had the issues right all along? (Ron Paul speaking before congress...) Someone who is truly, the Thomas Jefferson of our Day. (Then an out of work auto worker...."Hillary versus Thomas Jefferson? Come on! This Ron Paul will get us out of Iraq, defend this country right here, and he will end the income tax. If anything close to that happens in this country, (smiles) I can just see it now, ...all those American companies who fled this nation in the 70's, 80's and 90's, all returning to build here again. [smile on his face] "made in America", has a nice ring to it. Ron Paul, he has my vote.")
- Volunteers can't keep up with him...walks two miles each morning..... he has a 30 inch waistline....he drinks 15 bottles of water a day, ....(Mother) "He was my doctor" ....(Husband and child joins in)..."And with your help, he will be our next President".....(Child with Ron Pauls book in hand) .."He's the Thomas Jeffeson of our Day..... then a sky shot from above looking down on a football field Jammed Full of thousands of Ron Paul Supporters who then hold up their individual signs spelling out RON PAUL.

- A Camera watches a very large empty parking lot from above......time lapse in fast motion.....hundreds of cars file in and spell out ....
- Join the Ron Paul REVOLUTION 2008.........

Ron Paul: A New Hope

RON PAUL - PRESIDENT 2008

Congressman Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation's capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies. He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are."

Ron’s Paul’s announcement of his third-quarter fundraising was a major turning point in the campaign. It was the first time he received coverage from the mainstream media befitting a contender.
I just have a few small quibbles and not out of orneriness or ingratitude at the fine coverage.
The MSM actually understated the significance of this accomplishment.
First, the money was raised by a candidate the MSM had given no chance to win and little coverage. Much of the coverage was derisive or dismissive. His poll numbers were in the single digits. Ron Paul supporters evidently don’t care much about today’s poll numbers or MSM conventional wisdom. The Ron Paul Revolution is, among other things, a revolution against the MSM! The Revolution has used the MSM’s rival, the internet, to force its way into contention. This is the first presidential campaign where the internet has been a decisive factor, not just a sideshow.
Second, while money is the heart of the campaigns of the other contenders, official money is the lesser part of the Ron Paul campaign. The heart of Ron Paul’s campaign is a spontaneous, grassroots eruption of real world and virtual activism. This is simply nonexistent with Rudy’s campaign, for example. There is no grassroots Rudy campaign. I would know. I live in the second largest city in his home state and am a close observer of local politics. It just isn’t there.
As has been noted in various places on the web in recent days, the total economic value of the efforts on behalf of Ron Paul is far greater than reflected in his campaign spending. He has 50 paid staffers but tens of thousands of hardcore volunteers spending their own money. I spoke to a volunteer in Albany the other day. He said there were "only" 150 Ron Paul volunteers in Albany. Only 150 in one small city? Other campaigns would kill for that.

Third, it's a mistake to compare contributions to Ron Paul with contributions to Rudy. Rudy collects large donations from the usual suspects, the corporate state elite, rich people who wish to buy political influence. They want something specific and tangible for their money: a judgeship, a subsidy, a pardon, an ambassadorship. In Buffalo, his fundraiser was hosted by a man who did the same for George Bush and coincidentally got an ambassadorship to Malta. A tough job but somebody has to do it.
Those who give to Ron Paul do so mainly out of pure principle. While his supporters expect to benefit from his election, it’s not a specific tangible benefit at the expense of others. On the contrary, they expect an improvement in the general welfare of which they will partake. Concern for the general welfare has rarely provided the basis for substantial political fundraising. Political scientists tell us that people generally do not get heavily involved in politics unless they expect to materially benefit above and beyond the general public. Ron Paul is defying a law of politics known as rational apathy .
Fourth, the average donation to Rudy is many times higher than Ron Paul’s. This means that far more people stand behind those Ron Paul dollars. As the campaign goes on, they can continue to donate while many of Rudy’s influence buyers have maxed out. Also, there’s just more of us plain folk than fat cats, once again pointing to more room for growth for Ron Paul.
The MSM deserves credit for finally noticing the Ron Paul Revolution but they have barely begun to grasp its true strength. Nevertheless, this burst of publicity will generate even more contributions, boost poll numbers, and encourage more volunteers, which in turn will stimulate more publicity. I think the best metaphor for the campaign now is a nuclear chain reaction. That’s why this may be an appropriate campaign theme song:

The Ron Paul Phenomenon

The biggest news to come out of the Ron Paul campaign last week was that the campaign raised $5.08 million during the third quarter of this year. That's not the $27 million that Hillary raised or even the $6 million or $7 million (on top of $10 million from others) that Mitt Romney donated to himself from his personal fortune. But it's real money, even in national presidential politics.
A week before the end of the reporting period the Paul campaign challenged supporters to donate $500,000 by Sept. 30. They did that in three days, so the campaign increased the challenge to $1 million. Piece of cake. By the end of the day Paul supporters had donated more than $1.2 million. The campaign reports that it has $5.3 million in hand as the candidates prepare for actual primaries rather than just debates and straw polls.
John McCain, who is much more prominent and used to be considered in the top tier of candidates, raised about the same amount over the third quarter, but he still has several million in debts. Mike Huckabee, viewed by much of the media as the only second-tier GOP candidate with a chance to break through because of his religious-right roots, raised a paltry $1 million.
Ron Paul may be the candidate who breaks through. Whatever happens, his campaign has turned into the most significant pro-freedom mass movement in modern American history, perhaps in all of our history. Early on he was viewed as strictly an Internet candidate because he usually dominated the "who won?" polls on cable TV Web sites after Republican debates. That could be dismissed as a function of Net-savvy libertarians spamming the polling sites.
As debates and other events started to take place, however, it turned out that the campaign was also able to turn out "boots on the ground" – large crowds of enthusiastic supporters of all ages and descriptions, including college students, young families, aging Goldwaterites and Reaganites, hippies and bikers. At joint events, people started to notice that the Ron Paul Revolution signs seemed to outnumber the signs of all the other candidates combined. When Paul was excluded from a GOP debate in Iowa his supporters came out for a predebate speech and rally, and, without disrupting the actual debate inside, dominated the event.
Last weekend he held a rally in New Hampshire attended by about 800 people – the largest crowd any candidate has turned out to date in that state. After listening to him speak (and getting all of them who weren't duly registered to vote), the troops dispersed to the three major cities in New Hampshire to knock on doors. They hit 12,000 households in New Hampshire that day.
A Paul supporter and blogger from Pittsburgh who attended the rally told an interesting story. He had come to sell T-shirts to help finance what he hopes will be several hundred Pennsylvanians busing to New Hampshire the week of the primary to work for Paul. Toward the end of the rally a fellow who had been hanging around the table came over and plunked down a big wad of cash. He told them he wanted to be anonymous, but he wanted to buy a Ron Paul T-shirt for every child in the crowd (about 50) and have volunteers hand them out. Turns out he had already given the maximum $2,300 to the actual campaign, but he goes to campaign events and looks for other ways to help out.
That illustrates an aspect of the volunteer, grass-roots nature of the Paul campaign that may well be worth more than the $5 million in formal donations the campaign raised last quarter. Lew Rockwell, proprietor of the popular libertarian Web site LewRockwell.com, told me that whenever he's been to a Paul campaign event, he sees at least a dozen different kinds of T-shirts, bumper stickers, buttons and the like being sold or given away – "nice stuff, not homemade schlock" – by local Paul volunteers.
Kent Snyder, Ron Paul's campaign manager, told me that as of Wednesday (the numbers are undoubtedly higher now), Ron Paul has 29,489 YouTube subscribers, and YouTube videos featuring Ron Paul have attracted 4,339,507 views. Barack Obama has attracted more views (11,197,523) but has only 11,264 subscribers. Among the other Republicans, Mitt Romney is second, with 3,076 subscribers and 784,640 views, followed by Rudy Giuliani (2,467 and 655,000) and McCain (1,631 and 483,174).
Hillary Clinton has 6,089 subscribers and 926,547 views. (Numbers for all candidates for Facebook, MySpace and YouTube are available, updated daily, at www.techpresident.com .)
As of Wednesday, Snyder says, there were 49,928 Ron Paul MeetUp supporters in 771 cities in 22 countries (including one in the Green Zone in Baghdad). So far they have held 7,671 events, ranging from a few people meeting at somebody's kitchen table to speeches and rallies. As of the most recent report, according to USA Today, Paul had raised more money from active members of the military than any other Republican. Whom do the troops support?
The Paul campaign has evolved into "a self-directed, decentralized organization full of people who take the initiative locally," Rockwell told me. He believes that the movement will continue, whatever happens electorally, and that's a good portent for the future of freedom. He notes that especially the young supporters seem interested in reading and learning about freedom as well as attending rallies.
So how did a 72-year-old grandfather who is self-effacing and slender to the point of looking frail on television (he doesn't in person) become the closest thing to a rock star the Republicans have produced, swarmed for autographs at every appearance? Raised in Pittsburgh, Ron Paul attended Duke medical school, served in the Air Force, and began practicing medicine (he's an OB-GYN) near Houston. Along the way he started reading writers like Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek and became a strong supporter of free-market economics and the gold standard.
He supported Reagan for president in 1976 and was elected to Congress the same year, which is when I first met him (I was living in the D.C. area and was assigned by the long-defunct magazine Conservative Digest to do a profile shortly after Paul entered Congress).
His practice in Congress has been to ask himself, before each vote, whether this is a program specifically authorized by the Constitution. If the answer is no, he opposes it – including funding for NASA when NASA was in his district. This has earned him the nickname, "Dr. No."
After an unsuccessful run at a Texas Senate seat in a 1982 primary won by Phil Gramm, he returned to medicine for a while and was the 1988 presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party, where he pulled the usual 1 percent or so. Afterward he ran for Congress again, and despite a couple of efforts by the Texas Republican establishment to knock him off in the primary, he has won reelection ever since.
His most significant issue in this campaign is the war in Iraq. He is the only one of the active candidates (besides Democrat Dennis Kucinich) to vote against authorization to use force in Iraq, though he had approved the military incursion into Afghanistan after 9/11. He uses Iraq – 70 percent of the American people now believe the Iraq war was a mistake – to broaden the discussion, arguing for a noninterventionist foreign policy that would involve bringing our troops home from Korea, Germany, Japan and elsewhere, and minding our own business.
He also believes the income tax should be abolished, government made significantly smaller, and that the Federal Reserve should be abolished, with the country returning to a gold standard rather than printing fiat money. He is staunchly pro-life and seldom misses a chance to denounce the war on drugs, which he believes is unconstitutional.
This is a frankly radical platform, much more radical than Barry Goldwater's in an earlier era. Why has it attracted such enthusiastic support?
Part of the reason, Rockwell believes, is that economists and other intellectuals have been building the case for a free economy and free society since the 1930s, and there's a critical mass of people who have studied freedom and support it. Add to that the Internet and other forms of communication that have allowed people who might have felt alone in their beliefs to communicate with and get to know others of like mind. And we've had six-plus years of a Republican presidency that has not only been aggressive militarily but has increased domestic spending and started new federal programs, leaving many traditional Republicans feeling abandoned.
Perhaps as important as the ideas, which are at the heart of the Paul campaign, is the man himself. Ron Paul is not a great orator, though he does well enough in debates and interviews. But his low-key manner may have its own appeal. He doesn't shout or gesticulate, but he doesn't back away from what he believes. He presents radical ideas in a low-key, unthreatening manner, and people seem to sense a certain unyielding integrity. Whether they agree with him or not, people sense that he really believes what he is saying rather than delivering the latest focus-group-tested message.
Will people actually vote for such a political oddity once they get into the privacy of the voting booth? We'll know in a few months.

Chemo for the GOP:
President Hillary
by Steven Greenhutby Steven Greenhut

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is one of the most loathsome modern American politicians, given her barely disguised support for massive government programs, her grating schoolmarm personality and her aggressive political behavior, yet I'm left hoping that she obliterates any of the front-running Republican candidates and has long-enough coattails to expand Democratic control of the Senate and House of Representatives.
Unless Republican candidate Ron Paul – the only supporter of liberty in the bunch of GOP ne'er do wells – somehow propels his impressive Internet campaign into an improbable electoral victory, there is nothing else, but a Clinton victory, that will save the Republican Party and help rebuild the nation's long-suffering freedom movement.
How can an enemy of freedom help freedom?
Well, when you've got a headache, you take an aspirin. When you've got the flu, you take something a little stronger. When you've got cancer, you need chemotherapy, which kill cancer cells but can come perilously close to killing the patient. It's a sad truth, but the Republican Party has the political equivalent of cancer. The party is immune from internal reform. Only the nastiest medicine imaginable can save it, and four (but probably eight) years of Clinton, backed by a Democratic congressional majority, is pretty tough medicine.
Columnist Joe Dumas, writing for the Chattanoogan.com, captured the party's problem succinctly: "It should come as no big revelation to anyone inside or outside of the Republican Party that the GOP has lost touch with its conservative roots. Massive deficit spending that would make Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter blush; foreign adventurism beyond the wildest dreams of Woodrow Wilson or Teddy Roosevelt; more big-government programs than FDR or LBJ (Google 'Medicare expansion' for a massive example) ... the Republican Party of the early 21st century is clearly not your father's or grandfather's GOP."
Yet the party's leaders, and a good bit of the grass roots, are in denial. They still think the candidate who can best imitate Ronald Reagan's speech-making (Mitt Romney), or who has the best celebrity credentials (Fred Thompson), or who can best exploit national security issues and 9/11 (Rudy Giuliani) can stop the Hillary Express. But the problem goes well beyond superficial concerns. The GOP has a substance problem – none of the major candidates has the right ideas.
All the candidates, except for Paul, stand up for this foolish, unconstitutional, nearly genocidal war (1.2 million Iraqis have been killed since its start) and they continue to stand up for the police-state policies that have become the hallmark of the federal security state since the 9/11 attacks.
Sure, Democrats want to turn the health care system over to the equivalent of a federal Department of Motor Vehicles, and their overriding concern is how to regulate more and get more taxes out of society's productive members. But monitoring the populace and waging war are equally destructive of the nation's founding principles. I voted for George W. Bush (I'm sorry, really sorry) in large part because of his promises to pursue a less interventionist, "more humble" foreign policy. Yet look what happened after he took office, after 9/11 and after he placed neoconservative ideologues in top "defense" positions. Look at how so-called conservatives have gone along with this shift.
Throw in the Republican support for lighter versions of Democratic socialism – e.g., Bush's Medicare prescription drug program, Romney's government-heavy health care, Giuliani's support for gun bans – and what's the point?
The GOP presidential front-runner is Giuliani, perhaps the only politician on the national scene more ruthless, unprincipled and power-mad than Clinton.
Remember when he tried to have the New York Legislature declare martial law after 9/11 so that he could stay in power indefinitely? There's a reason for the Mussolini comparisons. What the media call Giuliani's "unconventional" personal life certainly contradicts the party's support for family values. He had his marriage to his first wife annulled after 14 years after he claimed to discover that they were actually second cousins rather than third cousins. As the Washington Monthly reported, "Giuliani informed his second wife, Donna Hanover, of his intention to seek a separation in a 2000 press conference. The announcement was precipitated by a tabloid frenzy after Giuliani marched with his then-mistress, Judith Nathan, in New York's St. Patrick's Day parade, an acknowledgement of infidelity so audacious that Daily News columnist Jim Dwyer compared it with 'groping in the window at Macy's.'"
The worst thing about Rudy: his love of government power. He showed it as a prosecutor, as he hauled supposed white-collar wrongdoers out of their Wall Street offices in handcuffs in front of the TV cameras, and as mayor as he defended even the most egregious abuses of police power, used his power to crack down on trivial offenses (jumping subway turnstiles, jaywalking, loitering). He constantly exploits 9/11 and his role in it and has earned tens of millions of dollars giving speeches about that fateful day. This Giuliani quotation, from a 1994 speech, sums up his philosophy: "Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it."
There is one upside if Rudy wins the nomination and faces off against Hillary: a bare-knuckles, take-no-prisoners, political sleaze-fest between two junkyard dogs. Can you imagine the wonderful TV ads? It is a political journalist's dream come true. Yet a Giuliani victory – indeed, a victory by any of the top GOP candidates – would cement the party's totalitarian tendencies. Even the party's social conservative wing, its most powerful grass-roots force, is ready to bolt if socially liberal Giuliani gets the nomination. Religious Right notables such as Focus on the Family's James Dobson and former presidential candidate Gary Bauer met recently in Salt Lake City to discuss backing a third-party candidate. These folks are no friends of liberty, either. Still, their defection could assure that increasingly likely Clinton victory.
President Hillary Clinton is tough medicine, for sure, but the patient is on life support.

It's Not Just Wishful Thinking

Ron Paul can win.
Dr. Paul's latest accomplishments have created a great deal of buzz amongst the old media talking heads (let's stop calling them "mainstream" OK?) Most of those who have been predicting that Ron Paul is a long shot or is merely a curiosity are now forced to re-assess their remarks; those who are honest anyway. The rest continue to repeat the same derisive comments because they haven't yet figured out how they're going to derail the Revolution.
Ron Paul's supporters, my favorite name for them so far is "Paulunteers," have decided that he's going to be their next President.
There are several reasons why Ron Paul's campaign is historic and none of them have to do with Ron Paul's "genius" in utilizing the Internet. The old media would like us to believe that Ron Paul's campaign is just a repeat of the Howard Dean campaign. However, there is only one parallel, grass roots support, but all comparisons end there. What most of the derisive pundits overlook is the campaign's message. The fact that they do not truly understand what Dr. Paul is advocating, speaks volumes about entrenched old media personnel.
Like government bureaucrats who spend most of their lives witnessing tragedy, their view of the world is distorted. Members of the old media have spent at least 40 years attempting to amplify the worst in our society, pretending it is the norm. It isn't surprising that this advocacy would turn practitioners into believers. The old media is used to politics as strictly an advertising campaign. Typically, the public is manipulated by psychological propaganda issued by campaigners. To the media and many scientific observers, this manipulative process always works. From the time that the first soap advertisements were produced, people have studied and improved upon propaganda techniques. However, humans are unpredictable. Most studies assume that because a particular experiment showed humans to be easily manipulated, they will always be subject to manipulation and thus merely focus on the effectiveness of different techniques.
The possibility that humans could change their behaviors and beliefs is not seriously considered. Take a look at polling for example. In spite of the knowledge that technology and its use has been changing, every major polling organization still clings to old methods. They have not adapted to new technologies whereas the population is doing so. The old adage – "if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth" – is assumed to be true forever. What if it isn't? What if Goebbels was wrong? Or, what if what Goebbels said was true but there is a more powerful antithesis?
To one who knows the truth, the repetition of lies cannot shake his belief in those truths.
Alan Stang wrote of Ron Paul recently:
Then, suddenly, without warning, there was an Incredible Hulk transformation. Godzilla was onstage, biting off heads, tearing off limbs and chewing on the bones. Who was he? Where had he come from? Who let him in? The reptilian media scumbags couldn’t very well drag him off the dais. The cameras were live. They had to sit there and listen while Dr. Ron assured them that his first official act as President would be to dismantle IRS.
And across the country, from the west bank of the Hudson to the California line, a roar erupted, as millions of astounded Americans who pay the taxes, fight the wars and go to work (unless their jobs have been deported), realized that Dr. Ron was saying in plain English what they believe in private. Most of the other candidates spoke boilerplate. They saw they were not alone and not crazy. "Imagine! A candidate for President who thinks like me."
The self-evident nature of certain truths is a problem for the old media and central planners. When the founders stated that some truths were self-evident, they were acknowledging that truth didn't require a certain level of education or rational thinking to be understood. We know them in our bones and they do not necessarily require articulation. I personally believe that these truths are so obvious that social planners have for over a century, done everything they can to prevent them from being considered. A great number of "isms" have been introduced into our lexicon and taught in public schools and universities; most of which seek to rationalize and advocate central planning.
But because they are stuck in the same cycle, they don't recognize what is actually happening. Why is Ron Paul so successful in spite of the fact that his campaign hasn't employed "time tested" methods?
Message/DeliveryThis is number one on the list though what follows may not necessarily be in order. Ron Paul's message isn't original, but it is powerful and highlights the self-evident truths that drive every human action and interaction. Most importantly, this message is not antagonistic. To central planners it is offensive, but to everyday people, it is purely positive. Ron Paul's strength is in the way he delivers the message – not as a charismatic speaker but as a Patriot whose actions are hard to fault. He's the opposite of a cult leader because he does not demand anyone follow him. Quite the opposite is true. His statements have been in deference to his supporters. They are the ones leading the Revolution and he is merely the public representative of this movement.
Home SchoolingFor the past 25 years, a significant number of parents have rejected government schools. Not only can we count a large number of the children (some 1 million per year) as better educated, their parents count amongst those who, in spite of a public education, have rejected central planning. While it is hard to gather statistics in this regard the number could be up to 30 million who have completed their studies or are in the process of doing so.
Government Intervention – "blowback"Over the past 40 years the government at all levels has become increasingly belligerent towards us. The increasing level of central planning is producing the unintended consequence of a population seeking ways to circumvent central planning. This is a feature of any market system as it is fundamentally part of all nature (not just humans) to seek freedom.
Distillation of the MessageThe Internet is a key here but only as a tool. The use of YouTube and various social networking sites have compressed Ron Paul's public appearances and allowed people to see what he has to say without the old media's vapid commentary. The "permanence" of availability is also important. Prior to the internet, one had to tune in or wait for a re-run to air. Now, we have an on-demand source of information and no one to dole it out in acceptable doses.
ActionThis applies to both Ron Paul and his supporters. Actions speak far louder than words. As with Ron Paul's life-long devotion to spreading the message of freedom, his supporters, encouraged by Dr. Paul's sincerity, proven by his actions, are taking action themselves. This action is far more powerful than the old media's methods of simply broadcasting platitudes and slogans.
The RemnantCounted amongst the remnant must be Lew Rockwell and the Von Mises Institute, Ludwig Von Mises, Ron Paul, Harry Browne, Ronald Reagan, Barry Goldwater, Murray Rothbard, Alan Stang, a gaggle of Patriot Movement writers and protesters and to some degree Ayn Rand and her Objectivist followers – all who have provided a source of enlightenment and an antidote to central planning themes. We also must include the relatively small group (as compared to all of organized Christianity) who actually follow Jesus' teachings and of course Jesus himself whom I list last but certainly not least. Their reach was, and is, far greater than imagined.
Convergence/TimingThe blowback listed above has created a myriad of political insurgencies. Every Federal agency has organized detractors now. From the BATF, to the Department of Education, there are advocacy groups which oppose the policies of these agencies. Though these groups will not always agree with one another, we are at a very unique point in our history where members of these groups are coming together while laying aside any differences they may have. Ron Paul’s candidacy has facilitated this.
To use an old cliché, the stars are aligning perfectly for Ron Paul and against his opponents. The results have been nothing less than spectacular. This isn't to say that a Ron Paul victory is a foregone conclusion. Quite the contrary, we have no idea what the establishment is going to do next. However, we do know, like the Federal Reserve which has one weapon in its arsenal, inflation; the government also has only one weapon, force. Its fraudulent use of force is the cause for Paulunteer's sense of urgency. More of the same will only speed up the process.
However, it's not just wishful thinking as detractors keep saying. There is a very real possibility that we can lead Ron Paul right into the White House over the objections of his detractors.
