Ron Paul's Demise – Premature and Greatly Exaggerated

After a respectable fifth place showing in Iowa, he has practically run the gauntlet on every straw poll since. The corporate- controlled media has neglected to report on this astonishing feat. Not surprisingly, they have for the most part made a concerted effort to ignore his candidacy. Ron Paul has some of the most dedicated and loyal supporters who aren't about to abandon him when the going gets tough. This movement goes well beyond and is much bigger than Ron Paul. It is about taking our government and country back.

Ron Paul Raises More Than Entire Texas GOP

Sources close to the Ron Paul (R-Tex) presidential campaign point out gleefully that in a single night Ron Paul took in more money -$102,000 - than the entire GOP apparatus did with its convoluted “first ever” straw poll - $97,500.

Keep Your Eye on the Target - by Congressman Ron Paul

The other day, I made a huge "gaffe" on national TV: I told the truth about the crimes of the U.S. government. As you can imagine, the ceiling fell in, and a couple of walls too. Congressman are supposed to support the government, I was told. Oh, it's okay to criticize around the edges, but there are certain subjects a member of the House of Representatives is not supposed to bring up. But I touched the real "third-rail" of American politics, and the sparks sure flew.

'Microsoft 811' and Holt: "It's no longer my bill"

Where once the bill called for complete openness, full public disclosure of all software used to count OUR votes, now we have the opposite. ‘Microsoft 811’ enshrines in LAW the right of corporations to privatize our election through control of programming secrecy, prohibiting public disclosure of what’s inside OUR voting machines! Security through obscurity does not work. It's been proven time and time again. Microsoft operating systems are proprietary while Linux is open source. Guess which is more secure? And we're supposed to put our faith in Bill Gates and his muscle men?

HITTING THE STREETS

For some time, a few of us have been calling for a general strike against the corporate state. We don’t really have any other options. They have all the guns. They have the army and the police. They make whatever laws suit them. There is no real political opposition. They control the media and they control the ballot box. The people are left with only one option; stop turning the wheels of their money machine.

Bush's Year of Triumph

The Republic you wanted -- and at one time might have had the power to take back -- is finished. You no longer have the power to keep it; it's not there. It was kidnapped in December 2000, raped by the primed and ready exploiters of 9/11, whored by the war pimps of the 2003 aggression, gut-knifed by the corrupters of the 2004 vote, and raped again by its "rescuers" after the 2006 election. Beaten, abused, diseased and abandoned, it finally died. We are living in its grave.

Bush furious as British troops pull out of Basra

Bush administration officials were furious that the operation was launched at a time when the president is begging for more time for his 'surge' strategy to turn the tide of the war.

Bush: 'Fewer American forces' possible in Iraq

What in the HELL is the matter with this dictator piece of shit??? First it's a "troop surge" and begging everyone to give it a chance (so he can have his patsies when the inevitable happens), then it's less troops? And he's pissed that the UK pulled out? WTF???

"Gen. [David] Petraeus and Ambassador [Ryan] Crocker tell me if the kind of success we're now seeing continues, it will be possible to maintain the same level of security with fewer American forces," Bush said during remarks at Al Asad Air Base in Anbar province.

But Bush later warned Washington war critics who are pushing for quick troop withdrawals to temper their expectations.

As Sunnis Flee, Shiites Now Dominate Baghdad

When Gen. David Petraeus goes before Congress next week to report on the progress of the surge, he may cite a decline in insurgent attacks in Baghdad as one marker of success. In fact, part of the reason behind the decline is how far the Shiite militias' cleansing of Baghdad has progressed: they've essentially won.

Couric Admits Her Rosy Report From Iraq Is Based On ‘What The U.S. Military Wants Me To See’

And so, you do see signs of life that seem to be normal. Of course, that’s what the U.S. military wants me to see, so you have to keep that in mind as well.

Returning Congress Critters Support Neocon Mass Murder Plan

First, Democrats should remember, they were able to gain control of the district of criminals in part because the American people are sick and tired of Iraq and want the troops home. Of course, it was wholly predictable Democrats would betray their so-called constituents and roll-over like well-trained dogs for the dominant neocons, a disgusting state of affairs I predicted long before the 2006 elections.

Snow Job in the Desert

In February 2003, Secretary of State Colin Powell, addressing the United Nations Security Council, claimed to have proof that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. He did not, in fact, present any actual evidence, just pictures of buildings with big arrows pointing at them saying things like “Chemical Munitions Bunker.” But many people in the political and media establishments swooned: they admired Mr. Powell, and because he said it, they believed it.

Police Move To Make Anti-Bush Protests Illegal

Police overseeing the ultra-security state forced on the people of Sydney - so President Bush doesn't have to see potentially offensive hand-painted signs or hear protesters singing critical songs while holed up in his harbour-view hotel - have launched a legal challenge to effectively make anti-Bush protests illegal while the president is in town.

Video: President Bush’s Surprise Photo Op In Iraq

Boyce is on the money, calling this what it was — a staged photo op. Watkins tries to spin this as a positive move by the president, and that he wants to get in touch with the troops to find out what’s going on on the ground, but Boyce fires back, reminding him that if Bush really wanted to get things done in Iraq he’d stay for more than six hours, he’d visit more than three times in four years and he wouldn’t have ignored the Iraq Study Group’s recommendations.

Wait. Is George Bush in Anbar meeting with the very militia groups who were killing U.S. soldiers just months ago?

Bush is desperate, desperate to say we're making progress in Iraq. Today, as noted below, he made another secret visit to Iraq. This visit is to Anbar where he's meeting with some of the militia leaders who used to oppose us (meaning used to kill our soldiers).

Surprise!

It is unbelievable that for four years, the White House has been able to spin secret visits to Iraq as happy happy fun fun "surprise" visits, when in fact, they have secret trips because Iraq is too dangerous for normal visits.

Bush Can’t Remember Why He Blew It

The disbanding of the Iraqi army shortly after the U.S. began its occupation is widely considered one of the biggest blunders of the war. So why did the administration make such a disastrous decision? Don’t ask President Bush: He can’t remember.

Zionists pushing for an attack on Iran

Now, a new assault orchestrated by the Zionists is moving forward on the basis of another myth: that Iran is developing a nuclear arsenal and wants to "wipe Israel off the map".

Afghan Taliban vow to kidnap, kill more foreigners

Can ya blame them?

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Taliban plan to abduct and kill more nationals from foreign countries whose troops serve under NATO and the U.S. military in the country, a spokesman for the Islamic movement warned on Monday.

BUSH RESTRICTING TRAVEL RIGHTS OF OVER 100,000 U.S. CITIZENS

Citizens who have done no more than criticize the president are being banned from airline flights, harassed at airports’, strip searched, roughed up and even imprisoned, feminist author and political activist Naomi Wolf reports in her new book, “The End of America.”

Dr. Carol Wolman: Impeachment or Enslavement? Now or Never

Assuming we get through the weekend without a "terrorist attack" and resulting martial law, we head into a packed month of September, with the 9-11 anniversary, and a planned general strike. Rosh Hashanah and Ramadan both begin the evening of 9-12. A huge demonstration is planned for 9-15, which may result in a confrontation with the armed forces Bush just deployed to Washington DC.

IMPEACHMENT NOW -- AS A DEFENSIVE TACTIC

First, it is the appropriate remedy called upon to redress crimes that have likely been committed by high elected officials.

Secondly, it may be the last best defense for our nation to avoid martial law her, or the all-out unthinkable catastrophe that would be a strike (nuclear or otherwise) against Iran in the coming days by an increasingly unstable and cornered Administration.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Bombing Iran

I've been dismissive of these rumors, as have you. Why? Because one would have to be a madman (or Dick Cheney) to start a second war when the first one is going so f-ing well.

Edwards Wants Mandatory State-Managed Health Care

In true 'cradle to grave' big government intrusion style, Democratic hopeful John Edwards has stated that under his presidency every citizen in the U.S. would be forced by law to enroll in a state- managed socialized health care system where regular check ups, including mental screenings, would be mandatory.

Jeez, half of government must be sweating bullets.

If Fred Thompson Were Running for Least Sincere Candidate, He’d Get Our Vote Hands-Down

As we reported earlier, Fred’s been waiting for Law & Order season 18 episode reruns to end before he announces for two reasons

One: Big, massive jowly-faced bucks.

Two: To get around the FCC’s equal time requirements.
