Do You Really Support the Troops?

Yes, YOU.

I’m asking you flat out.
I’m questioning your patriotism.

Do you REALLY support the troops?

Then the question of who should be the next President of the United States is quite simple.

We’re quickly approaching the FIVE YEAR commemoration of the invasion and occupation of Iraq. This argument is well beyond a question of whether or not you sport a yellow ribbon on the back of your car. It’s beyond whether you think we should “stay the course”, set a timetable for leaving, or get out immediately. It’s beyond being a Democrat, Republican, Independent, Green, Libertarian, etc. It’s about being an AMERICAN and a HUMAN BEING.

The fact is— every day that passes is another day our soldiers are being killed and maimed.

“The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own government.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

If you claim to support the troops, if not the war itself, shouldn’t you also support the candidate the troops support the most? The man who will bring them home NOW, still ALIVE?

It’s not Barack. It’s not Hillary. It’s not McCain. It’s Ron Paul.

Any excuses— dismissals of “he can’t win”, “I’m not a Republican”, or lapses in electoral faith are not going to save our troops. Understandable lapses in faith, of course. But in the end: YOU know who YOU voted for.

The Ron Paul Revolution is far from over. Not because Primary Day hasn’t yet arrived. Not because the Republican National Convention hasn’t come. Not because Election Day hasn’t arrived. But because our troops are still over there. Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Africa… They’re everywhere but HERE. That is why I REFUSE to throw in the flag for the Revolution, and I hope the rest of you will do the same.

So I’m calling you out. Let me ask you again:

Do YOU support the troops?
PROVE IT.

Vote for Ron Paul.

“The chain reaction of evil — wars producing more wars — must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sidenote: If this post makes you uncomfortable, angry, whatever— if you think your chosen candidate DOES enable you to honestly say you support the troops, please leave me a comment and refute my accusations, I welcome your thoughts!

Why is the U.S. Air Force “standing down” tomorrow?

How is this good for national security after the Boogeyman has just magically and conveniently resurfaced? How is this an appropriate response to “accidentally” flying 6 nukes across the country last month? Why are we announcing our vulnerability? To try and provoke an attack so we have a pretext for attacking Iran? Or will we just attack ourselves again?

Haven’t you heard about this?
It’s here. And here. And here. And here.

From Christian Newsire:

“…the entire Air Combat Command will stand down for a day following the incident involving the B-52 bomber that transported nuclear-armed missiles without the crew’s knowledge.

The Air Force Times reported that the entire command – about 100,000 active-duty airmen – will be in military classrooms on Friday. The stand down was ordered by the Air Combat Command chief General Ronald Keys.

[Christian radio talk show host] Rick Wiles said he is stunned by the stand down orders. “Does General Keys know that Osama bin Laden recently resurfaced?” asked Wiles. “Why would America’s entire Air Combat Command stand down precisely when America’s top enemy stands up?

Wiles said Gen. Keys’ stand down orders came as CIA Director General Michael Hayden told the Council on Foreign Relations that al-Qaeda’s leadership is planning high-impact plots against the United States of America “that would produce mass casualties, dramatic destruction and significant economic aftershocks.”

Wiles said, “There’s something wrong with this picture. The CIA chief is openly warning that al-Qaeda is plotting attacks on U.S. soil that could kill large numbers of Americans and wreck our economy. At the same time, the commander of the Air Combat Command has told al-Qaeda and every other enemy that we won’t have air defenses for an entire day or longer.”

Regardless of whether you believe that Osama is the boogeyman (I obviously don’t) — the fact is, this is suspicious WTF-is-going-on kind of s—t. PrisonPlanet.com seems to think this is an attempt to discredit the 9/11 Truth movement now that it’s really gaining momentum.

But even Air America is talking about this, and that’s inching a bit closer to mainstream media. Yesterday the Randi Rhodes Show discussed it, and last night the Clout show spoke up. Not only about this, but also the connection with 9/11 Truth and false-flag terrorism. I could hardly believe what I was hearing on the radio. TRUTH for a change!

Alarmist, perhaps. But there are real dots to connect:

I can only say so much, there’s the info, take it how you wish. I’m done feeling guilty and burdened by other people’s ignorance and apathy. Wolf! Wolf! Wolf? You decide.

If nothing else, stay vigilant.
