4 great videos to kick off the weekend

June 27, 2008 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Dr. Ron Paul has put out three excellent videos this past week, I couldn’t decide which I wanted to post more, so I’m going to include them all.

Speaking of the great RP — Some people may wonder how I’ve kept so quiet about the ending of his campaign. Indeed, I was surprised by my eventual calm as well. (I say “eventual” because my close friends know I was anything but calm for about a week.) It’s because I finally realized that Ron Paul’s campaign for President may officially be over, but the messages and principles he taught us continue to live on indefinitely. The millions of us who voted for him are now blessed with a knowledge of what the often-used but little-understood phrase “freedom and liberty” means.

Albert Einstein said:

“Those with the privilege to know, have a duty to act.”

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you know what’s up. You and I, we MUST continue to carry forth the vision our Founding Fathers [and Mothers] had in mind for this country. That means thinking outside the box. Past this election. Beyond the left/right liberal/conservative paradigm that is perpetuated only to divide us while they continue on with their nefarious plans. United behind liberty, however, we are indivisible and unstoppable.

Keeping all that in mind, I STILL LOVE RON PAUL and always will! He continues to spread the knowledge and messages we’ve all grown to know and love— therefore, WE CONTINUE and THE REVOLUTION continues.

Without further ado, let’s start off the weekend right!

Great video #1: Ron Paul comments on the Federal Reserve’s decision Wednesday to maintain interest rates and raises concerns about inflation. (5 min.)

Next up, Ron Paul’s Floor speech on Iran & foreign policy. (6 min.)

Delivered yesterday, Paul condemns H. Con. Res. 362, the “virtual war resolution” soon to be considered by the House of Representatives. The bill already has 208 co-sponsors, and will likely be voted on after the 4th of July holiday. A related bill is being worked on in the Senate, with 29 Cosponsors. Many of the cosponsors are Democrats.

And finally, now that you’re all pumped up, Dr. Paul cordially requests your presence at the July 12 Revolution March and Rally. (1 min.)

BONUS VIDEO— because I like you. We Are Change Ohio took on John McCain and got covered live on CNN! (10 min.)

Props to my friends Cody, Anthony, Sam, and Brad. Not only did you trojan horse yourself into mainstream media coverage, but you also got a great mention of Blair Gadsby’s hunger strike for 9/11 Truth and how McCain refused to speak with him, even after 16 days of fasting.

Kucinich Presents 35 Articles of Impeachment Against Bush

UPDATE #3: June 11th, 2008: The House has voted to send the bill to the Judiciary Committee for review. I’d like to note that Rep. Wexler, a co-sponsor of this bill, sits on that committee. Also– Congressman Ron Paul, aka “Dr. No” voted YES this time.

PeaceChicken.com salutes Ohio’s own, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, as he introduced 35 Articles of Impeachment against George W. Bush last night on the floor of the House of Representatives. Let us never forget a very important part of the Constitution:

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

- Article II Section IV

If only all members of Congress would be so brave. I especially commend the last three articles which relate to the Bush Administration’s crimes of 9/11.

Of course, while he’s doing his JOB trying to save this country and preserve our Constitution, the rest of Congress pays no attention.


C-SPAN: broadcast June 9th, 2008.

From RawStory:

“Resolved,” Kucinich began, “that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate…

“In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power…”

The first article Kucinich presented, and many that followed, regarded the war in Iraq: “Article 1 – Creating a secret propaganda campaign to manufacture a false case for war against Iraq.”

…Kucinich, a 2004 and 2008 Democratic candidate for the White House, abandoned a prior attempt to begin impeachment proceedings against Bush in January of this year.

In April of 2007, Kucinich presented impeachment articles against Vice President Dick Cheney, but the effort went nowhere. Kucinich exclaimed that “impeachment may well be the only remedy which remains to stop a war of aggression against Iran.”

Here is the full list of articles, and you can also click here to download the full 65-page document (200k):

  1. Article I
    Creating a Secret Propaganda Campaign to Manufacture a False Case for War Against Iraq
  2. Article II
    Falsely, Systematically, and with Criminal Intent Conflating the Attacks of September 11, 2001, With Misrepresentation of Iraq as a Security Threat as Part of Fraudulent Justification for a War of
    Aggression
  3. Article III
    Misleading the American People and Members of Congress to Believe Iraq Possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction, to Manufacture a False Case for War

Rising Energy Prices and the Falling Dollar

June 9, 2008 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Ron Paul for President

While John McCain’s solutions for our recessed/depressed economy are non-existent, Obama is calling for more inflation by means of a $50 BILLION economic stimulus (which would be paid for… how, exactly?? Oh, just print/borrow more money? Great idea, Obama, you must work for the Federal Reserve!)

Meanwhile, Dr. Ron Paul is STILL being honest with the American people by telling it like it is and calling for REAL SOLUTIONS.

Why someone truly concerned about our economy would vote for anybody besides Ron Paul is beyond me.

Rising Energy Prices and the Falling Dollar

By Congressman Ron Paul
Monday, June 9th, 2008

Oil prices are on the minds of many Americans as gas hits $4 a gallon, and continues to surge. How high can prices go? How can we solve these problems? What, or who, is to blame?

Part of the answer lies in understanding bubbles and monetary inflation, but especially the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve is charged with controlling inflation through interest rate manipulation, however, many fail to realize that creating money, and therefore inflation, is really its only tool. When the Federal Reserve inflates the dollar as drastically as it has in the past few decades, the first users of the newly created money go in search of investments for their dollars. They must invest this money quickly and aggressively before it loses value. This causes certain sectors to expand beyond what would naturally occur in the free market. Eventually the sector overheats and the bubble bursts. Over-investment in dot-coms eventually led to a collapse of the NASDAQ. Next we had the housing bubble, and now we are seeing the price of oil being bid up in the creation of another new bubble. Investors are now looking to commodities like oil, for stability and growth as they pull capital out of real estate. This increased demand for investment vehicles related to oil contributes to driving up the price of the actual product.

If the Fed continues with its bubble blowing policies of the past, the new commodities bubble will continue to grow, gas prices will continue to go up, as the value of your dollars go down. We will see an over-investment in these commodities as solutions are desperately sought for a supply shortage, which is only part of the problem. Make no mistake, though, this is not the free market at work. Government manipulations have added levels of complication and unintended consequences to the marketplace.

This is not the time for members of Congress to take political potshots at each other, or to imagine that the free market is somehow to blame. This is the time to understand and fix problems.

That begins with making sure the decision makers have a firm grasp on the causes of the problems and possible effects of their decisions. This is absolutely crucial if we want to get it right this time. That is why I am in the process of calling for hearings on Capitol Hill on how the falling value of the dollar affects energy prices.

Governments need to get out of the way and let the people get back to work so that we can get our economy back on stable footing. Our destructive regulatory environment, confiscatory tax policies, and managed, rather than free trade have chased many businesses overseas. The bottom line is average Americans are being seriously hurt by these flawed policies, and they are not getting good information about the true dynamics at work.

The important thing now is to get the diagnosis absolutely correct so we can administer the appropriate treatment and move on to a healthier economic future. To do this it is absolutely necessary to address the subjects of central banking and fiat money.

Shhh, the Bilderberg Group is meeting this weekend!

June 6, 2008 0 Comments Tags: , .

As I type this, The Bilderberg Group, aka over 140 of the world’s elite, is meeting in Virginia.

You would never know it by glancing at the mainstream media. Shouldn’t such a HUGE meeting of international policy-makers be getting more attention? Well, if you’re anything like me, you know the things that don’t get ANY media attention are the stories that really matter. Don’t expect to see it on CNN or in the Columbus Dispatch because the Bilderberg members quite literally OWN THE WORLD and if they tell the media to look the other way, that’s what they’ll do. And because often times the media elite are some of the attendees.

I’d like to give props to Alex Jones and the Infowars community, The American Free Press, We Are Change, and all the other groups that are working hard to shine light on this important gathering.

If you’re new to The Bilderberg Group, it’s pretty simple. They’re the elite of the elite. Worst of the worst. They drive cars with tinted windows and are swathed in secrecy and security. War mongers, war profiteers, corporate elite, media elite, bankers, politicians, more bankers, and more politicians. Obama was there last night, in fact.

Check out their blatant, look-what-we’re-doing-right-in-front-of-you Press Release:

CHANTILLY, Va. — The 56th Bilderberg Meeting will be held in Chantilly, Virginia, USA 5 – 8 June 2008. The Conference will deal mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, US-EU relations, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam and Iran. Approximately 140 participants will attend, of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America. About one-third is from government and politics, and two-thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education and communications. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion.

Bilderberg takes its name from the hotel in Holland, where the first meeting took place in May 1954. That pioneering meeting grew out of the concern expressed by leading citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that Western Europe and North America were not working together as closely as they should on common problems of critical importance. It was felt that regular, off-the-record discussions would help create a better understanding of the complex forces and major trends affecting Western nations in the difficult post-war period…

…In short, Bilderberg is a small, flexible, informal and off-the-record international forum in which different viewpoints can be expressed and mutual understanding enhanced.

…Participants are chosen for their experience, their knowledge, and their standing; all participants attend Bilderberg in a private and not an official capacity.

There will be no press conference.

Let’s take a look at some of the more notable people on this year’s list of attendees:

A meeting where previous and current Cabinet Members and Governors are mingling with Google and Microsoft big wigs and international bankers?

Talking about everything from a nuclear free world, cyber-terrorism, finance, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Islam and Iran? Wow, sounds kind of important.

Hey wait a minute, what about The Logan Act? You know, that FEDERAL LAW passed in 1799 that forbids government officials from holding secret international meetings?

Doesn’t that mean Keith Alexander, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, Henry Paulson, Condoleezza Rice, and the Governors of Kansas and South Carolina are committing FELONIES by attending? Last year, when Texas Governor Rick Perry attended the Bilderberg meeting in Turkey, Ron Paul wanted to charge him with a criminal violation of this act. What makes it any less illegal this year?

“Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence … with any foreign government … with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).

So we are left with the eternal question… What world-changing events are the Bilderbergs planning this weekend? An attack on Iran? Another 9/11? Are they putting the finishing touches on a North American Union?

Most importantly— will the people of the world roll over and let them get away with it all, or will they finally seek justice and demand some answers?

Either way, we can’t say we weren’t warned…

This June 5th: Time to Withdraw.

June 4, 2008 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Tomorrow, June 5th, is the 75th Anniversary of the United States abolishing the Gold Standard.

The lack of a gold standard is why your dollars (aka Federal Reserve Notes) are now redeemable for NOTHING. Compared to its worth in 1933, the dollar now has a purchasing power of FOUR CENTS. That’s why it’s time to WITHDRAW what money you have left and take a stand against the Federal Reserve, whose system holds every American in slavery, whether or not you’re aware.

Thomas Jefferson“If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.”

- Thomas Jefferson

If the Federal Reserve, aka the central bank, is a mystery to you— that’s exactly how they like it. The fact is, the Federal Reserve is an unconstitutional institution that drains the wealth of the American people through the inflationary process. In order to win back true liberty, we must learn how the Federal Reserve is robbing us. Every day that passes, every time they print more money out of thin air— we are one day closer to total economic collapse.

The mainstream media is all over stories of rising gas prices, rising food costs, and foreclosed homes. But who is really to blame for these symptoms of a much more pervasive disease? Is it as simple as price-gouging oil company executives? Who is printing all the money that drives down the value of our dollar? Who controls the interest rates upon which the fate of our banks, credit cards, loans, mortgages, and lives depend? Are these guys elected by The People? How are they held accountable for their actions? Who is gaining from their inflationary policies? How long has this been going on? These are very important questions to ask yourself.

“Regarding the Great Depression, you’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry.”
- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, 2002

One needn’t be an economist to understand: the Federal Reserve is neither federal, nor do they have any reserves. They are a privately owned corporation. Our dollars are no longer backed by gold or silver. It is a “fiat” currency, and every economy that has used fiat currency in the past has ultimately collapsed.

We interact with money every day of our lives. Understanding the American financial system is KEY to gaining true freedom and prosperity. That’s why this June 5th We the People MUST take a stand. It’s time to ABOLISH THE FED.
