- inactive, on 10/18/2008, -4/+9Ron Paul is right again. The Republic, my friends, passed away on October 1st, 2008, when active duty military was deployed on American soil and the United States House of Representatives was threatened by the Bush administration with marital law if they did not pass the bailout bill. When Congress gave in, rather than taking the bull by the horns and alerting their constituents, our already terminally ill Republic was dealt a death blow, and exhaled for the last time.
If you live in America you are living under a totalitarian regime. - inactive, on 10/18/2008, -2/+6I would digg this again if I could. It kills me to see Bernanke look uninterested, rub his nose and look away while Senator Ron Paul speaks. I'd like to see some side by side video, of Ron Paul speaking eloquently then alternating to the stuttering and stammering of Paulson and Bernanke speaking.
- thrive868, on 10/18/2008, -1/+5The Republic has been dead for almost a century now. Nothing will awaken the masses short of a full economic collapse. And still, the restoration of the Republic won't happen unless those people, by the millions, force America back to a constitution-based government.
"...there are no nations, there are no peoples, there are no Russians, there are no Arabs, there are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems. One vast ending main; interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational, dominion of dollars." - Network 1976 - thrive868, on 10/18/2008, -2/+6"Bravo, bravistavo, go Ron Paul!"
- CoolHandLuke70, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2Love me some Ron Paul!
- Catspaw, on 10/18/2008, -1/+3The show it not over until the fat lady sings! Remember how many truthers there are.
- sheeplescareme, on 10/19/2008, -1/+3the republic never has been, whether through oppression of certain people, or due to the founding of the federal reserve. i suppose i should have said that our chance to have a republic is almost gone.
- honeybrass, on 10/19/2008, -1/+2Ron Paul is great, he isn't given to absurdity, or lies, or flip flops, and because of this completely UNsuited for leadership of our current system.
- COINTELPROAgent, on 10/18/2008, -3/+410 minutes ago, Mark here (aka JeffersonTrust) shouted the following to all of his friends:
"Everyone stock up on damn good incendiary armor piercing ammunition. It is a better end than the swine deserve, but the best way to make damn sure they die instead of you."
Mark, they're coming for you. Don't go to sleep Mark. That's what THEY want you to do. And we both know who they are, don't we Mark? - Observant1, on 10/19/2008, -1/+1first came the EPA regulations, protecting the environment isnt a bad idea but, the corporate manufacturers refused to meet the standards and lobbied for corporate welfare (3-4x what the people ever get, which comes FROM the people) to move the technology, production, and pollution overseas. we were made to fund our own underemployment. fewer positions available and an abundance of skilled workers lowers wages, is simple supply and demand, also means less tax revenues, stabbing US in the back and shooting themselves in the foot. printing more currency to try to hide the damages of 3 decades of de-industrialization is now failing. in debt up to their eyeballs, they operate on loans from the same places they gave the technology and production to, so this goes well beyond the trade deficit created. bankrupt, but no lack of funding for the technology and personnel for an ever growing surveillance/control grid and privatized prisons, which we also have been made to pay for. retroactive immunity for the telecom industry for years of illegal spying, a bailout/rescue package the people screamed NO to, but was pushed through anyway -they dont even pretend to represent us anymore. new "laws" regarding "homegrown terrorists" for the people smart enough to understand the scams and just dumb enough to speak out about it, because revealing the truth about these racketeering traitors is a threat to their existence, which is devoted to screwing us over repeatedly with phony lubricants (printing more monopoly money). they fudge the unemployment numbers by reporting only the percentage of people able to collect benefits, they fudge the production numbers by calling slapping a hamburger together "manufacturing", and other similar lies. they "privatize" our highways, water, utility companies, and hand over public lands to the UN, while keeping it out of the news media they control, the same few people who have caused these things to happen have put out the message "sit down, shut up, trust us, or else" with the "laws" and control grid they have set up. they fund mercenaries at 5-8x the price they pay people in the military, but deny any accountability for the actions of those mercenaries hiding under the corporate banners, in an illegal and costly war, adding to the national deficit they hold US responsible for. the real terrorists are in DC, but to tell the truth of it is dissent, thought crime and terrorism?
the war on drugs has 80% or more of the people in the privatized prisons locked up for being caught with a little bit of POT, and some unemployed people who turned to peddling some dope to have an income to exist on because of the unavailability of decent employment. meantime potentially dangerous psychoactives are slammed through the FDA so the doctors can pimp out the corporate big pharma drugs to calm peoples nerves, in this big lie of a system in which we are manipulated and sheared. they consistently try to take away the peoples guns, and/or the ammunition, and have burned in the "call 9-11" reflex, when some 90% of crimes are stopped by good citizens with weapons, not "police" who show up 10 minutes too late with their portable tazer torture cattle prod devices. granny with a gun is shot dead and some crack is sprinkled on her, to tell the public she was crazy... we're supposed to sit down, shut up, and trust them? - quiqq, on 10/18/2008, -3/+1Ron Paul has some good ideas and insights, but mine are better!
The problems with our currency and the dollar on the world market WILL eclipse the routine political bickering and assumptions that things are under control with the latest tooling of Congressional interventions with the Treasury and the Fed, but the concept of a fiat currency will likely survive. Pinning the value to precious metals has limitations and will never return. Other alternatives for exchange are possible where the "promise" of that currency is tied to a more reliable matrix of claim to goods and services within the system.
