The voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Wake up citizens, our Republic is in Grave danger!"

There is a man who is telling you the truth if you will hear. You have been fed lies by the media you despise, but they've told their lies so often you believe them. He has been fighting the banksters and their plan for global governance for 35 years, he hasn't changed. He is the only candidate I'm confident is not part of the them.

We face two immediate threats. The first is financial collapse , the second is Fascism where the government and big business comglomerates unite to rule the nation. The financial collapse could happen any moment, and Obama and the unions are joined at the hips. Companies like GE, and Chevy, and financial organizations are partially owned by the government...that's Fascism!

No Middle Eastern nation is an immediate threat, the big scare tactic today is that Iran will build a nuclear bomb. They are not going to fire that bomb at us and wrisk us firing thousands at them.

Why is Iran having a nuclear weapon any more threatening than North Korea having several? You say Iran has a lunatic in charge, well North Korea has had nuclear weapons for years with lunatics in charge. you say it is a Muslim nation, well, Muslim Pakistan has had nuclear weapons for years. Don't be fooled by the scare tactic!

I mentioned that because many say they like Ron Paul's economic ideas but not his foreign policy ones. Folks, the immediate threat is not foreign policy!
Listen to Ron Paul and take back our Republic.

Ron Paul warns US slipping into fascism dominated by government and businesses

The others don’t warn you because they are probably part of it. He is the only candidate that I am confident is not owned by the banksters.

The economy is our immediate threat and it could collapse at any moment. Iran, Syria, North Korea and other foreign nations are not immediate threats. So even if you don’t like his foreign policy, he is our best hope to solve our immediate crisis.

I too used to cringe at his views on foreign policy until George W Bush rocked my world in one day when he gave away our wealth to Hank Paulson thereby virtually assuring the Republican loss of the 2008 election.

Why would he do this? Either he really was a dunce being played by his advisors or he is a member of the insiders with their plan for the new world order.

I began to examine politics in a whole new light and that light turned out to be very, very dark. The two party system is a charade, the leadership of both parties have the same goal.

The way they control us is by making us believe there is a difference, and we have a choice, Ii’s the old good cop bad cop routine.

Why else have things always gone in the direction of the communists, socialists, liberals, progressives? The conservative ideals never win.

Ron Paul will do everything he can to turn that around! He is not a part of them!

Paul says US `slipping into a fascist system'

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul warned the U.S. is "slipping into a fascist system" dominated by government and businesses as he held a fiery rally Saturday night upstaging established Republican Party banquets a short distance away.

The Texas congressman drew a couple thousand standing and chanting people to Kansas City's Union Station as the party's establishment dined on steak across the street at the Missouri GOP's annual conference. Kansas Republicans were holding a similar convention in a suburb across the state line.

Paul staged his rally near the nation's World War I museum, asserting that the U.S. got off track about 100 years ago during the era of President Woodrow Wilson, who led the nation through World War I and unsuccessfully advocated for the nation's involvement in a forerunner of the United Nations.

"We've slipped away from a true Republic," Paul said. "Now we're slipping into a fascist system where it's a combination of government and big business and authoritarian rule and the suppression of the individual rights of each and every American citizen."

Although campaign aides were aware, Paul told reporters after his speech that he did not know his rally was coinciding with long-established Missouri and Kansas Republican Party events, where Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell - a vice presidential prospect - was the keynote speaker.

Several Republicans slipped away from the banquets to join the Paul rally. Among them was Ralph Munyan, a Republican committeeman in Kansas City's home county, who said he agreed with Paul's warnings of a "fascist system" and his pledge to the end nation's involvement in wars overseas and against drugs.

"His foreign policy is one of peace," Munyan said.

Paul repeatedly denounced President Barack Obama's recent enactment of a law requiring military custody of anyone suspected to be associated with al-Qaida and involved in planning an attack on the U.S. Obama said when he signed the legislation that his administration would not authorize the indefinite military detention of American citizens without a trial.

Liar-in-chief claimed adopted panel’s recommendations because will make cost of healthcare lower—cost not even allowed consideration!

This illegal alien has no conscience and fears no consequences for no one has even hinted they would stop him!

The silence of the Republican leadership at his manifold breaches of justice and blatant lies is deafening.

If you still think the two parties are separate at the leadership level there’s a bridge to nowhere in Alaska I’d like to sell you.

I know the media is not going to cover his lawlessness but if I were the minority leader of the senate or the Speaker of the House I would bring it up at every occasion, write letters to the editor, go on talk shows…I would raise a ruckus but you hear almost nothing from them.

Obama Contradicted: HHS Banned Determining Whether Mandate Was 'Cost Effective'

By Terence P. Jeffrey

(CNSNews.com) - There would be no consideration of cost effectiveness.

That was the explicit condition that the Department of Health and Human Services imposed on the panel of health-care experts it commissioned to develop the “preventive services” mandate that will require virtually all health-insurance plans in the United States to cover sterilizations and contraceptives—including those that cause abortions.

The fact that HHS prohibited the panel from considering the cost effectiveness of the mandate it developed contradicts President Obama’s declaration at the White House last Friday that his administration had adopted the panel’s recommendations precisely because they will “make the overall cost of health care lower”

One economist who served on the panel, meanwhile, suggested in a dissenting opinion that the panel’s recommendations in fact might not be cost effective and that the panel’s process for arriving at its recommendations “tended to result in a mix of objective and subjective determinations filtered through a lens of advocacy.”

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) that Obama signed in 2010 included a provision that all new health care plans would be required to cover “preventive services” without charging any fees or co-pay to the insured. The law allowed the secretary of health and human services to determine which “preventive services” would be mandated for women.

HHS commissioned and funded a committee of scientists, operating under the auspices of the Institute of Medicine (a part of the National Academies of Sciences), to recommend which “preventive services” for women should be included, cost free, in all insurance plans.

The panel—The Committee on Preventive Services for Women--had only 6 months to do its work and met only 5 times. On July 19, 2011, it issued a report with its recommendations. These included the following: "The committee recommends for consideration as a preventive service for women: the full range of Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for women with reproductive capacity."

Less than two weeks later, on Aug. 1 of last year, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued the panel's contraception-sterilization recommendation as a new federal regulation—set to take effect on Aug. 1 of this year.

In its report, the committee had noted the short time in which it had to work and repeatedly reiterated HHS's order that it could not consider cost effectiveness in determining its recommendations.

“The committee met five times within six months,” the report said.

“The cost-effectiveness of screening or services could not be a factor for the committee to consider in its analysis leading to its recommendations,” the report said.

“However, it should be noted that the committee did not have adequate time or resources to conduct its own meta-analyses or comprehensive systematic review of each preventive service,” the committee warned.

“Finally,” the committee said, “cost-effectiveness was explicitly excluded as a factor that the committee could use in developing recommendations, and so the committee process could not evaluate preventive services on that basis.”

“Furthermore,” the committee said, “for consistency in approach with the other three guidelines used by the ACA and given the time limitations for this study, the committee was restricted from considering cost-effectiveness in its process for identifying gaps in current recommendations.”

One of the 16 members of the panel—Prof. Anthony Lo Sasso an economist at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s School of Public Health--issued a dissenting report. He criticized the panel’s process for lack a rigorous analytical method and for filtering things "through a lens of advocacy.” He also suggested there was good reason to believe the panel's recommendations might not be cost effective.

“Readers of the Report should be clear on the facts that the recommendations were made without high quality, systematic evidence of the preventive nature of the services considered,” Lo Sasso wrote. “Put differently, evidence that use of the services in question leads to lower rates of disability or disease and increased rates of well-being is generally absent.

“The view of this dissent,” wrote Lo Sasso, “is that the committee process for evaluation of the evidence lacked transparency and was largely subject to the preferences of the committee’s composition. Troublingly, the process tended to result in a mix of objective and subjective determinations filtered through the lends of advocacy. An abiding principle in the evaluation of the evidence and the recommendations put forth as a consequence should be transparency and strict objectivity, but the committee failed to demonstrate these principles in the Report.”

Lo Sasso also raised a question about the potential cost effectiveness of offering some preventive services for free because it would create a “benign moral hazard”—leading more people to utilize the free service.

“Whether coverage of preventive service leads to a reduction in healthcare expenditure depends on the fraction of enrollees using the service before the service becomes covered and the magnitude of the response among enrollees who experience the reduction in out-of-pocket price,” wrote Lo Sasso. “Knowing how elastic patient demand is to preventive services is a critical element to a coverage decision even if one already has good estimates of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. This is self-evidently a useful parameter to know for any preventive service because it highlights the impact that first-dollar coverage of the service will have, perhaps in relation to other forms of outreach.”

Because the committee was not given the time to do a serious analysis of the real impact of the recommended “preventive services,” Lo Sasso recommended that Secretary Sebelius not mandate the services “until such time as the evidence can be objectively and systematically evaluated.”

Despite the fact that this scientifically panel charged with coming up with the recommended preventive services had been expressly forbidden from looking at their cost effectiveness, President Obama declared that his administration had moved forward with the recommendations precisely because of their cost effectiveness.

“As part of the health care reform law that I signed last year, all insurance plans are required to cover preventive care at no cost,” Obama said last Friday at the White House. “That means free check-ups, free mammograms, immunizations and other basic services. We fought for this because it saves lives and it saves money--for families, for businesses, for government, for everybody. That’s because it’s a lot cheaper to prevent an illness than to treat one.

“We also accepted a recommendation from the experts at the Institute of Medicine that when it comes to women, preventive care should include coverage of contraceptive services such as birth control,” said Obama. “In addition to family planning, doctors often prescribe contraception as a way to reduce the risks of ovarian and other cancers, and treat a variety of different ailments. And we know that the overall cost of health care is lower when women have access to contraceptive services."

Silencing dissent: Opposing the government will now be treated as a threat

If this had been the case during the Bush years most Democrats would have been visited by the FBI and interrogated about their comments as the called him every name in the book, they even produced a movie about his assignation.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Bush fan, anymore, I was but I found out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. It didn’t seem like such a threat when a “conservative” did things that I would have been outraged if a liberal had done. That’s the key to the deception of the two party system. It’s a ruse, a charade, we’ve been had!

But the fact is, that’s the way it has always been in politics. The two parties are always at each other’s throats. The deception is that they actually are for different outcomes. That’s why it’s been so successful in leading the nation down communism’s primrose lane.

People actually believe that they have different agendas, they don’t. Both are owned by the real rulers of the world, the banksters!

The banksters don’t have to own everyone in the party to control it, so this is not to imply that every Republican legislator is a traitor, they just have to own the leadership and enough of the rest by corruption, extortion,  or blackmail to ensure that they can control the outcome of any legislative action.

FBI Seeks Developer for App to Track Threats on Social Media

    By FOX News

    WASHINGTON - The FBI is getting in on the law enforcement app game -- posting documents online recently to seek industry input on developing the equivalent of a web alert system.

    The 12-page document, called "FBI Social Media Application," provides a detailed picture of the bureau's specifications. The program must have the ability "to rapidly assemble critical open source information and intelligence ... to quickly vet, identify and geo-locate breaking events, incidents and emerging threats."

    "I think what you are looking at is a Google news feed specifically targeted for law enforcement, focusing on their specific needs," said Frank Ciluffo, who leads George Washington University's Homeland Security Policy Institute.

    "We're on our mobile phones and we're on our various iPhones, BlackBerrys and the like that transmits data that locates individuals."

    Ciluffo, who was a former adviser in the George W. Bush White House, said tracking social media is the tip of the spear for national security investigations and it raises privacy questions, over whether law enforcement officers are allowed to monitor public social media posts.

    According to the American Civil Liberties Union, who reviewed the FBI documents for FOX News Channel, information pulled from sites like Facebook, Twitter and blogs could be cross-referenced with other databases to identify potential threats. Mike German, a former FBI agent who runs the national security section of the civil liberties group, said the data could be used to increase video surveillance in a neighborhood.

    The FBI told FOX in a statement that the project was in the research stage, and if it goes ahead, it "will not focus on specific persons or protected groups, but on words that relate to 'events' and 'crisis' and activities constituting violations of federal criminal law or threats to national security. Examples of these words will include lockdown, bomb, suspicious package, white powder, active shoot, school lockdown, etc."

    The healthcare Trojan horse

    The government said we want to provide your health care, the fools heard give you your health care. The fools thought it would be free. They still don’t know they have to pay for it.

    Most Americans weren’t fooled though and wanted no part of it but the government forced it on us anyway, unconstitutionally through legislative trickery, on a Christmas Eve.

    The RINO’s protested but did nothing about it. They still have done nothing about it. They won’t do anything but talk about doing something about it because they are owned by the same masters as the Democrats

    Government run healthcare is the biggest key to the government’s complete control over it’s subjects!

    See who is one of the biggest donors to anti-Fox News activist group

    Guess who is right in the middle of all of these dens of iniquity, yes, it’s George Soros, the self professed god-man. The man who wants to take down America!

    Why has he not been arrested for sedition by our government? He (among other globalist elites) controls it!

    Media Matters ‘Tide’ to MoveOn.org, ACORN

    by Aaron Klein

    One of the single largest donors to the embattled Media Matters for America is a controversial far-left clearinghouse that funds groups such as MoveOn.org, ACORN and a litany of anti-war organizations, WND has learned.

    The organization in question, the Tides Foundation, is funded in part by billionaire George Soros, himself a prominent Media Matters donor.

    Tides functions as a money tunnel in which major leftist donors provide large sums that are channeled to hundreds of radical groups.

    Tides documentation reviewed by WND shows the group provided a total of $4.1 million to Media Matters during the fiscal years of 2004-2009.

    During that same time period, Tides provided an additional $110,000 to the Media Matters Action Network, the group’s affiliated progressive lobby.

    The Tides Foundation funding to Media Matters was most significant during the progressive news organization’s startup year in 2004, when Tides granted it $2.2 million.

    In 2005, Tides sent another $1.1 million to Media Matters.

    The years 2006 and 2007 saw smaller Tides donations of $56,223 and $38,225 respectively.

    In 2008, a significant Tides donation of $659,500 came in to Media Matters, with another $106,038 in 2009.

    In 2010, the Tides Center expressed public support for Media Matters when the media group stepped up its activism against Fox News by posting a Web page dedicated to anti-Fox material along with an online petition that pressed Fox’s advertisers to “Drop Fox.” At the time, Tides chief executive and founder, Drummond Pike, endorsed Media Matters’ campaign.

    Media Matters already admitted to taking $1 million directly from Soros. The billionaire has donated more than $7 million to Tides over the years.

    Now WND’s revelation of Tides donations to Media Matters may raise more questions about the partiality of media group. Tides is one of the biggest financial backers of progressive and radical left groups in the U.S.

    For example,Tides is a primary funder to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now,or ACORN, and is closely tied to the group implicated in voter fraud. The Tides Center’s Board Chairman is Wade Rathke, ACORN’s founder and chief organizer.

    Tides also is a primary funder to MoveOn.org, the American Civil Liberties Union, Campaign for America’s Future; the Center for American Progress; the Center for Community Change; the socialist-leaning Democracy Now!; the Marxist-founded Free Press; and Marxist-oriented Institute for Policy Studies.

    Tides recently has been closely linked to Occupy since the anti-Wall Street movement’s inception. The Tides-funded Adbusters magazine is reported to have come up with the Occupy Wall Street idea after Arab Spring protests toppled governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. The Adbusters website serves as a central hub for Occupy’s planning.

    The Tides-funded Ruckus Society has been providing direct-action training to Occupy protesters as well as official training resources, including manuals, to Occupy training groups. Ruckus, which helped spark the 1999 World Trade Organization riots in Seattle, was also listed as a “friend and partner” of the Occupy Days of Action in October.

    Another grantee of Tides, MoveOn.org, has joined Occupy.

    Media Matters has been facing closer scrutiny after a series of investigative articles by the Daily Caller highlighting questionable financial and activist practices.

    The Daily Caller reported that the revelations have prompted interest from congressional Republicans who are now considering examining the group’s tax-exempt status.

    Soros: Merkel policies the wrong direction

    “I admire Chancellor Merkel for her leadership. But unfortunately she is taking Europe in the wrong direction,” the financier and philanthropist told the weekly Der Spiegel.

    Soros warned against addressing the crisis with spending cuts, urging the injection of funds instead.

    “Otherwise we will repeat the mistakes that plunged America into the Great Depression in 1929. That’s what Angela Merkel doesn’t understand,” he said.

    US President Franklin Roosevelt addressed the crisis in 1933 with his New Deal, inspired by British economist John Keynes, which combined a reform of the banking system with major infrastructure projects.

    Soros also told Der Spiegel, in remarks published in German on the magazine’s website, that he thought Europe could handle the crisis without the help of the International Monetary Fund.

    Did ‘climategate’ kill AlGore’s goose that laid the golden egg?

    Well it looks like the Europeans are unable to keep whipping this dead horse. How sane people ever bought into this is a mystery in the first order. Paying someone in order to ‘pollute’ the atmosphere.

    AlGore is surely an idiot savant, he made millions on this idiotic idea in it’s heyday.

    Warning over “Dead” EU Carbon market

    Europe’s largest employers’ group has warned against meddling in the carbon market to prop up sagging prices, just a day after one of the continent’s top energy executives declared the market “dead” and demanded urgent intervention to save it.

    In a letter to parliament released on Wednesday, Philippe de Buck, president of BusinessEurope, warned that moves to withdraw carbon permits from the market to bolster prices “would, if implemented, create further uncertainty and price volatility, and establish a risky precedent of rapid political interference in the market”.

    Johannes Teyssen, chief executive of Germany’s EON, urged policymakers to make fixes. “Let’s talk real: the ETS is bust, it’s dead,” Mr Teyssen said in Brussels this week, adding: “I don’t know a single person in the world that would invest a dime based on ETS signals.”

    Tyranny: IRS used against tea party group

    Claim: IRS Won’t Grant Richmond Tea Party Tax Exempt Status

    1:16 PM, Feb 16, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER

    The Richmond Tea Party group is blasting the IRS for allegedly failing to grant tax exempt status to the pro-limited government organization. “The Internal Revenue Service has served Richmond Tea Party (RTP) with unreasonable requests to obtain a tax-exempt status, fitting the pattern of the Federal Government’s forcing liberty groups to spend inordinate time and money complying with their demands during this critical 2012 election year,” RTP claims in a press release.

    According to the Richmond Tea Party, here’s the process that led to the “unreasonable documentation requests” from the IRS:

    On December 28, 2009, RTP applied to become a 501(c)(4) organization. After nearly ten months, the IRS finally responded with a letter (dated September 17, 2010), requesting detailed documentation to satisfy 17 questions, giving RTP only a two-week window in which to finish. (As the response was curiously due on the opening day of the inaugural Virginia Tea Party Convention, for which RTP was a central organizer, we requested and received a two-week extension.) We fully complied, providing over 500 pages of documentation. We received no response for over a year. Eventually the IRS sent a letter dated January 9, 2012, thanking us for our “complete and thorough responses” from the first request, but then asking us to answer 12 additional questions in 53 separate parts, including the totally inappropriate request for a full list of our donors and volunteers. We were given the same two-week timeframe for completion. It should be noted that this most recent letter was issued on the same day that the IRS issued a new 45-section bulletin regarding applications for tax-exempt status.

    The IRS did not immediately respond to THE WEEKLY STANDARD’s request for comment.

    How do you control a nation’s policies, follow the money

    I rarely post articles that are not well sourced. I found this on several websites but I’m not familiar with the source and it sounds so incredible but…

    It’s not out of the realm of reasonable plausibility when considering many of the things that are known about the real rulers of the world, they are the richest men on the planet, the banksters.

    But the question is who found this slush fund and how they lived to tell about it. It would have to be an unnamed insider who isn’t completely sold on their goals.

    If it is true it’s not being reported by the major media, but that’s not surprising because they are owned by the banksters too.

    It does answer the question though of why things ‘always’ go the way of the communists/socialists/liberals/progressives if true, as you see both leaders of the Republican party, conservative judges, and military leaders on the list.

    Bob Chapman Newsletter Jan 15,2011 – Slush fund of top politicians found at Vatican Bank, Obama, Clinton, Roberts? Legatus split!

    Slush fund accounts of major US politicians identified and seized at Vatican Bank (Rome). Connection established with Daniel Dal Bosco RICO indictment, which cites Giancarlo Bruno, Silvio Berlusconi & Ban Ki Moon. On Wednesday 5th January 2011, it emerged that US establishment-related slush fund accounts had been located in, and seized from, the Vatican Bank in Rome.

    The source of funds for these accounts in almost every instance was found to be the US Treasury. Beneficiaries of the covert Vatican accounts include Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and each of the Obama children, Michelle Obama’s mother, all the Bushes and the Clintons, including Chelsea Clinton, Joe Biden, Timothy Geithner, Janet Napolitano, several US Senators, including Mitch McConnell, several US Congressmen including John Boehner, several US Military Chiefs of Staff, the US Provost Marshal, the US Judge Advocate General, the US Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts, several US Judges, the Pope, and several cardinals. Big money was found in each of the accounts.

    The longer the beneficiaries have been in office, the greater the account balances were found to be. They range from a few million USD to more than a billion USD in the case of John Roberts. The total number of slush fund accounts so far identified at the Vatican Bank is said to be between 600 and 700. This number is likely to grow as international élite corruption investigations spread worldwide.
