McCain Vows To Replace Secret Service With His Own Bare Fists

McCain Vows To Replace Secret Service With His Own Bare Fists

Clinton and UFO – A presidential aspect

With Hillary Clinton’’s presidential campaign wheezing, it would be logical to assume the New York senator would appreciate every endorsement she can get. But it ain’t necessarily so.

This weekend in Gaithersburg, Md., just outside the nation’s capital, the only registered congressional lobbyist advocating UFO disclosure hearings — Steve Bassett — is staging his annual X-Conference. Its keynote speaker is Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who has long pressed for declassification of government UFO data and has labeled the enduring cover-up as potentially “a case of criminal culpability.”

But undoubtedly the most annoying X-Conference speaker to a Clinton-bashing law firm called Judicial Watch is a guy named Grant Cameron.

EDITOR’S COMMENT:

In spite of the mainstream media’s shameful lack of coverage of Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, he continues to build a formidable following, both online and off — and raise an impressive amount of money via largely spontaneous donations. And did you know he placed second in the Republican Nevada caucuses?

What follows are two reports: one from Ron Paul and one from his Fundraising Director, Jonathan Bydlak. For more information about Ron Paul, including an innovative calculator that is keeping track of how many donations Ron Paul is receiving, go here:

MESSAGE FROM RON
January 21, 2008

What a shot in the arm the Nevada caucuses were, where we took the silver as #2, beating McCain, Huckabee, Thompson, and — of course — Giuliani. We also got four more delegates. In South Carolina, we beat Rudy again. A big thank you to all our wonderful donors, volunteers, and voters. So many people worked so hard to spread our message of liberty, honest money, peace, and free-market prosperity. I owe you all my deepest gratitude. So do our fellow citizens. So do all future Americans. Most of the mainstream media continue to pretend that we do not exist. Yet soon the race will be down to four candidates-Romney, McCain, Huckabee, and me, and there is no stopping us, as Tim Russert grudgingly pointed out the other night. Thanks to you, we are in this all the way through a brokered convention.

Nevada, by the way, is known as the Silver State for a reason — its great mining industry produced the precious metal for the beautiful silver dollars minted at the fabled Carson City mint. These constitutional coins, include .775 ounces of silver, in accord with the Coinage Act of 1792. Today these coins, worth $1 in my father’s day, have about $14 in silver. That is, the dollar is worth 1/14th of what it was, thanks to the counterfeiting Federal Reserve.

The Fed has again taken our country into a terrible crisis. Who else is talking about honest money that cannot be printed up at will by DC bureaucrats? My opponents in both parties are all some variety of print-and-spend Keynesians. Only we are telling the truth, about who is to blame for this recession, and how we can build real prosperity with sound money, no IRS, no deficit, and strict obedience to the Constitution. And, of course, no hyper-expensive, hyper-dangerous empire all around the globe.

When I met with some great ladies in Charleston, all of whom wore beautiful hats, I talked about the young people flocking to our banner. “Don’t forget the young at heart,” said one. Darn right! A youthful outlook, work ethic, and optimism characterizes all of us. Frederic Bastiat predicted many years ago that liberty would be saved by the young. He might have added the young at heart as well, and how right he was!

I continue to be astounded not only by all our revolutionaries, but by our fellow travelers. Democrats and even the workers for my Republican opponents come up to me to talk about our ideas. They are fascinated, and want to learn more. Reaching so many people doesn’t necessarily mean a victory in the next primary, but it counts for the real changes we want in our country, now and for our children and grandchildren.

Of course, I am mainly paying attention to the next primary! We are working hard in Florida, in Louisiana for the caucuses, and then for Super Tuesday in more than 20 states. Meanwhile, the whole world is watching how we do today in fundraising, on a day dedicated to the memory of Martin Luther King, the great champion of non-violence at home, peace abroad, and civil disobedience against tyrannical government.

Please make your most generous donation. We can’t let this movement be topped, nor slowed. I promise you that I will continue to pour all my heart and mind and strength into the battle. I know you will too. Let’s work together for all we love, and all we hope for: freedom! Surely, it is worth all our efforts.

Sincerely,
Ron

As most of you already know, today is another amazing fundraising day for Ron Paul!

We’ve just passed $1,100,000 raised for the day, representing donations from over 14,000 people, including more than 3,500 first-time donors!

If you haven’t made a contribution yet, today is definitely the day to do it.

After Saturday’s second-place finish in Nevada, let’s make as big a splash in the mainstream media as we can. The media would like to silence Dr. Paul, but with your help, his message will be heard!

Make your most generous donation now, and encourage all your friends and family to donate, too!

I wish this man would lead the U.S. next. I raise my hat to M. Kucinich.

CBS Labels Ron Paul a "Meaningless Fruitcake" With "No Chance" Of Winning

Despite a general begrudging acceptance amongst a large swathe of the corporate media that Ron Paul is a real contender for the Republican nomination following the hugely successful November 5th “money bomb” campaign, a CBS News op-ed piece today labels the Texas Congressman a “meaningless” “fruitcake” with “no chance” of winning.

The article is entitled Ron Paul, Fruitcake and its writer, Kevin Drum, attempts to make the point that anyone who even expresses an interest in the Congressman’s campaign is a “political infant” who needs to “grow up”.

In reality, it’s Drum who needs to grow up – his four paragraph whine reads like the literary equivalent of a baby throwing its toys out of a playpen.

“Ron Paul raised a buttload of money yesterday. This doesn’t really change anything, and everyone knows it, but I guess it’s something to write about. So people are writing about it,” seethes Drum.

“But look: can we stop pretending to be political infants, even if we happen to be bored this week? It’s cheap and easy to take extreme, uncompromising positions when you have no actual chance of ever putting them into practice, so Paul’s extreme, uncompromising positions really don’t mean a thing,” writes Drum.

“They’re meaningless, and I wish grown adults who know better would stop pretending otherwise.”

“Seriously, folks. Can we all please grow up?” he concludes.

The words of Officer Barbrady from South Park come to mind – “Nothing to see here folks. Move along…”

On what foundation does Drum claim that Congressman Paul’s campaign is irrelevant? His growth curve and fundraising is outstripping any other candidate from either party and bookmakers are slashing his odds of winning the Republican nomination left, right and center.

Granted, the average geriatric Giuliani supporter cited in telephone surveys is going to keep Paul’s poll digits low, but the fact that he routinely trounces the opposition in TV and Internet polls and has been widely lauded for shaking up the debates is hardly “meaningless” as Drum claims.

What’s really happening here is that, whether wittingly or unwittingly, the establishment minions are terrified that their perch on the peanut gallery can be so forcefully undermined by a grass roots rebellion against the stranglehold of the elite – who carefully screen presidential candidates year after year – ensuring only establishment lackeys ever have a chance of winning.

What the Ron Paul Revolution has created is bigger than whether or not Ron Paul will win the nomination in 2008.

This is about setting a benchmark and getting a foothold in an otherwise stage-managed and contrived electoral process, and having a candidate of the people front and center who the corporate media cannot possibly ignore.

In that sense, the Ron Paul phenomenon is far from “meaningless” and Kevin Drum is the one who needs to “grow up”, for his political infancy betrays a complete ignorance of what is taking place.

In addition, if Ron Paul is so “meaningless” then why is Drum, along with an army of other establishment media stooges and Neo-Con cult members, wasting his time in attacking the Congressman?

In the words of William Shakespeare, Methinks this CBS hack doth protest too much.

Smear Campaign Against Ron Paul Goes Into Overdrive

The smear campaign against Presidential candidate Ron Paul has hit an all time high with the corporate media today ludicrously declaring that the Congressman’s immense worldwide popularity is all a huge con emanating from Dr Paul’s own office.

Rupert Murdoch owned Australian outlet News.com.au has today disseminated the most insidious and farcical report concerning Ron Paul to date.

Headlined Republican Ron Paul in possible ‘fake online campaign’, the article attempts to convince the reader that every aspect of Ron Paul’s popularity, from his you tube website, to his dominance of online polls and debate polls has been totally faked by his own staff!

The astounding accusation reads:

A CANDIDATE for the US presidency is being buoyed by a massive online campaign that may be a fake grassroots movement organised by party staff.

Head of Flinders University’s Department of American Studies Don De Bats told NEWS.com.au that it “sounded like” an astroturfing campaign.

Astroturfing is the term used to describe a fake grassroots campaign, where members of an organisation create the illusion that “ordinary people” are behind the movement.
