CNN: American Public Can't Be Trusted
To Vote On Debate Questions
As Republican presidential contenders brace for Wednesday's CNN-YouTube debate, the executive in charge of the event is unapologetic about his decision to put mainstream journalists in charge of deciding which user-contributed YouTube videos the candidates will actually face on the air. For all the talk about online voter empowerment, the web is still too immature a medium to set an agenda for a national debate, says CNN senior vice president David Bohrman.  full story

The Ron Paul Surge, Explained
Conservative syndicated columnist Mona Charen said out loud what many campaign reporters have no doubt been thinking all along: "He might make a dandy new leader for the Branch Davidians." When conservatives feel comfortable mocking the victims gunned down by Clinton-era attorney general Janet Reno's FBI in Waco, Tex., in 1993, it suggests that a complacent and increasingly authoritarian establishment feels threatened.  full story

Rudy Giuliani faced fresh questions about his judgment last night amid claims that trysts with his mistress while he was New York's Mayor cost taxpayers thousands of dollars.

How a Vote for Hillary Clinton
Is a Vote for Hugo Chavez in America
If you follow Hillary Clinton's increasing allegiance to the Bush Administration, her shifting stance on Universal Health Care; read Venezuela's Path to Self-destruction from the La Times; and then read the following comment, I believe you just might draw the same conclusions that I have. The US has long been heavily influenced by socialism and fascism. A brief study of the presidencies of W. Wilson, FDR, GHW Bush and GW Bush will reveal much.  full story
Venezuela's Path to Self-destruction
Venezuelans will be asked to vote on a whopping 69 constitutional amendments that would greatly reduce the country's democratic governance, strip citizens of still more individual liberties and thus expand Chavez's power even beyond what it is today. One of the most disturbing ballot items would allow Chavez to run for president as often as he wishes and make it more difficult for voters to recall a president. He could become, in effect, president for life.  full story

Do you remember when Bush Jr. said, "either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists"? Well, he meant it. Homeland Security's sub-committee on terrorism risk assessment convened a hearing on 11-06-07 to discuss "using the Web as a weapon, the Internet as a tool for violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism." Web sites that question the legitimacy of the official 9/11 story as tools for recruiting terrorists were clearly pointed to.  full story

Organized Crime by U.S. Government
Rudolph Giuliani appeared in Singapore to help a Las Vegas developer make a pitch for a $3.5 billion casino resort.

Hands Off Iran
I will not pay my income tax if we go to war with Iran. I realize this is a desperate and perhaps futile gesture. But an attack on Iran, which appears increasingly likely before the coming presidential election, will unleash a regional conflict of catastrophic proportions. This war, and especially Iranian retaliatory strikes on American targets, will be used to silence domestic dissent and abolish what is left of our civil liberties.  full story
Rothschilds Move To Bankrupt European Farmers
Lynn and Evelyn de Rothschild have recently decided to make big money in exporting the Indian fruits and vegetables to the European and Japanese markets.

A Revealing Rally
On 11/10 I attended a Ron Paul rally at Independence Mall. The attendees were indeed a motley lot. Within about half a square mile I ran into such varied types as scads of veterans who expressed anger at the Iraqi war of choice, working class blacks sporting Ron Paul paraphernalia, and immaculately dressed professionals. I had never before encountered such a hodge-podge of humanity packed into so small a space in order to shout their support for a presidential candidate.  full story

Complaints and demands for a retraction and an apology are flooding CNN today after Neo-Con host Glenn Beck and ex-Marxist David Horowitz smeared Ron Paul supporters, libertarians and the anti-war left as terrorist sympathizers and inferred that the U.S. military should be used to silence them, parroting a talking point that traces back to a Sept. 2006 White House directive.  full story

Rudy Giuliani's Ties to Fox News
Regan charges that News Corp. executives wanted to destroy her reputation because she knew too much about her ex-boyfriend, former New York City Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik, and that what she knew could be harmful to the presidential hopes of Rudy Giuliani -- whom she depicts as the preferred candidate of News Corp. and its subsidiary, Fox News.  full story

Reminder: Hillary Clinton Voted to
Use Armed Force Against Iraq
Some people favor attacking Saddam Hussein now, with any allies we can muster, in the belief that one more round of weapons inspections would not produce the required disarmament, and that deposing Saddam would be a positive good for the Iraqi people and would create the possibility of a secular democratic state in the Middle East, one which could perhaps move the entire region toward democratic reform.  full story
Ron Paul: A Republican Takes
the Lead Against the War
Quit paying to blow up bridges in Iraq and then paying to rebuild them. Bring that money home. Our bridges are falling down. Our levees are falling down.

Bring the troops home. Quit spending the money. Get rid of selective service. Don't have the draft. And no more wars like this.  full story
Raping American Sovereignty and a
North American Union
It is becoming harder to chronicle the treasonous, despicable acts perpetrated by our govt. Our sovereignty should not be given away, nor should it be for sale to the highest bidder. It is something to protect, it defines us as a nation. The enemies of sovereignty include the SPP, WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA. Our govt. is in collusion with powerful private corporate interests, and they are working together to create a North American Union.  full story

50 States Sued to Block
Computerized Vote Counting
The Clean Election Lawsuit is being expanded to all 50 states.

Hate Crime Legislation
Can Destroy First Amendment
In October, the Senate terminated the David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
