Foreign Policy

If you hit someone and kill their family, they will hate you and probably hit you back in the future.

That’s what blowback is all about. It seems like such a simple concept, but many of Ron Paul’s former opponents for the Presidency vehemently denied its validity.

They professed that what our military does abroad has no effect on how the citizens of the world feel towards us. Rudy Giuliani in particular believed that the 9/11 terrorists hated our wealth and freedom so intensely that they sacrificed their lives to prove it. (Of course, our government bombing their countries, propping up their dictators and supplying their enemies with money and weapons had nothing to do with it.)

Instead of securing our borders, we’ve been planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression. Within a few short years, we turned Iraq into the world’s leading breeding ground for terrorists. Our military is spread thin all across the planet, yet we remain involved in dangerous power plays that unnecessarily put the lives of our soldiers at risk. And we brazenly squandered the wealth of our nation as if there were no tomorrow.

It doesn’t make any sense unless you consider increasing the profits of the military-industrial complex to be in the “national interest”, no matter what the cost to the rest of us may be.

America first. That is what Ron Paul‘s national defense proposal is all about. And with America he means all Americans, not just the elite. If elected President, Ron Paul will continue his efforts to secure our borders, hunt down the 9/11 terrorist planners (who are still at large), safely withdraw our troops from Iraq and other countries around the world, and finally overhaul the intelligence apparatus in cooperation with intelligence professionals rather than political opportunists.

Ron Paul loves America. He is one of the very few true patriots left in Washington who are actively working on protecting our freedoms, our lives and our dignity.

    The question is always asked why did 9/11 happen, there will be those who disagree with my comments, thats a good thing. I feel the right question to ask is, why did Papa Bush & Clinton leave such a large military foot print in Saudi Arabia after the 1st Gulf War? Numer of Muslim faithful consider Al Q as a sect of Islam & OBL an Emir. Al Q of Iraq debated the presence of AL Q Mosque’s & Iman’s in Iraq. When GW declared war on Al Q he declared war on Islam. But the wheels were set in motion while Clinton was in office & would have happened even if Gore was president.

    Jill- Muslim is a religion, and America has freedom for all religions. Being Muslim does not mean you’re not American.
    There are American Citizens that are Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, you name it, we have it. Because America is based on religious freedom.
    The next is a quote from Colin Powell.
    “I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer’s no, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president? Yet, I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion, “He’s a Muslim and he might be associated terrorists.” This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

    I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son’s grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards-Purple Heart, Bronze Star-showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn’t have a Christian cross, it didn’t have the Star of David, it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life. Now, we have got to stop polarizing ourself in this way. And John McCain is as nondiscriminatory as anyone I know. But I’m troubled about the fact that, within the party, we have these kinds of expressions.”

    First of all about your comments regarding the Mosque. Constitutional right? Of whom may I ask, those who practice and follow and adolpt it as their mode to live by? Or are constitutional rights given across the board to anyone who murdered their wife the day before? Our constitution is adolpted for Americans, not muslims. Now, if muslims want to be american, then they can and must live by our constitution.
    Cordova means triumph. It says I got you sucka. After the Muslims defeated the spaniards, they put up the cordova mosque. They do that with all their victories and you are allowing them to do it again. It was not a happy, we love you, attack that occurred on 9/11. Do we hate all Muslims? No. But they know exactly how to play us and they are playing you. The ones who want to build the mosque. Ask yourself a question. WHY THERE??? Come on don’t fall for it please. Do your homework, check it out. You are not being fair to the people of your own country that lost a loved one.

    Don’t you worry greg,

    I always take time to do my homework. I am not one to just dismiss conspiracy theories because they are a conspiracy theory…yet I don’t just jump on the band wagon based on everyones enthusiasm. I took time to view and read the mountain of information regarding 9/11. I certain do share in the sentament of those that subscribe to the accusation that 9/11 was an “inside job”…And that there was a second shooter in the Kennedy assasination. However no matter our passion for a bigger truth, or how strong we band together for a confermation that UFO’s have visited us, we must maintain a stable mind and credability. We must because we know there is a bigger truth and that we have been kept from the truth.
    If we truely support Ron Paul we will put away our tin foil hats and support him on the issues that matter as a means of getting him elected.
    Bottomline UFO’s, the shooter on the grassy knole, and inside jobs, don’t get more people interested in Ron Paul. The mainstream populous is very vanilla and set in their ways. The only way we can motivate them to ralley for Ron Paul is to work on earning their trust that Ron Paul is what this country so desperetly needs as a leader

    9-11 was an inside job! watch this to confirm the fact. American’s have been duped into believing it was done by Osama Bin Ladin. Then look up the “Bohemian Grove” before the web is shut down and all this information is censured. Also please listen to Alex Jones at infowars.com. We all support Ron Paul there. God Bless You All ! And, God Bless America! So, Lets expose these “EVIL” moonbats!

      Dr. Paul…I am seeing dots before my eyes!!!

      Jesus Christ, what a f’n nut job…Please Please Please…. You NEVER hear Dr. Paul, a man of great integrity and not afraid to challenge and charge our government, speaking of these claims. He dismisses those of you that go this far.

      I mean yeah most people do understand and agree that the September 11th attacks were of no surprise to our government; it wasn’t a surprise to me, the CIA had loooong confirmed that our presence in the middle east ( economic and military sanctions, aid and support of Isreal, etc.) posed a grave danger of retaliation on Americans…They did nothing to prevent it from happening, ie mind our own buisness and stop meddleing in the political affairs of other countries. Thirty plus years of supporting Isreal and supplying them with weapons, and bombing the crap out of Iraq all through the ninties, etc., etc., is what caused the attacks on America on 9/11. So yes if you want to say it was an “Inside job”…okay, but radio controled planes, dots and…Not saying it is impossable, but it will never be confirmed in our life time, or our childrens lifetime, to the degree which you, and others like you, suggest. In the mean time please take caution with what you buy into.

        The NWO folks have control over the media. when it was only newspapers, they sought to control the newspapers. Since TV, they control the TV. The internet? That remains to be seen but they are working on it. They are on their 3rd attempt with a new bill.

        Ron Paul was victim of its power to sway public opinion in the last election, by being cut out of the debates. He would have won the election! The American people love his honesty, his consistency, his constitutional and republic stand.

        I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.

        The NWO folks hate this allegiance, thus they cut him out of the debates. He stands for something they don’t. He loves this country and its founding documents. But don’t be mistaken, Ron Paul is well aware of the NWO Bilderbergers and other NWO folks. Just because he doesn’t talk about them, does not mean he is not aware of them. He prefers to focus on the liberty, freedom, and constitution message. Just as well… that is as anti-NWO as anyone can get. Upon that stance is everything else that guides his votes to/against, the bills he writes.

        Please spend more time in looking for the truth. You will see it! Rather than your personal snippet’s towards others have have found information through research. You don’t have to go back very far to see what is going on. Now, Ron Paul may not say anything. But, I am sure that he has the information at his desk. He knows who is really running the show. It’s time for American’s to see through the political diversion. We all need to watch both hands with these groups of people. Both political and media. Then get the information out to everyone you can. That will be the best way to beat this corruption in Washington. MSM is a waste of time to find any current news that has any value whatsoever.

    Why can’t we purchase all the poppies in Afghanistan on a long term contract; transport it home refine it and sell it for $10 to maintain addicts that can’t quit. End the war on drugs as well as occupation wars?. Why Does United Nation’s world headquarters have to stay in the United States? Common Sense would have a presidential candidate propose it move to Gaza. The reason this won’t happen is there is too much money in criminal prosecutions and life long pensions for everyone involved in the war on drugs. If marijuana is permitted to be used; high blood pressure will be a thing of the past and Big Pharma can’t keep you hooked for life on their “Cure’s”. A presidential candidate should ask why the FDA does not demand that any person using Statin drugs should also take Ubiquinol or Ubiquinone. Why?? Because if everyone takes Ubiquinol every cell in their body will have the Oxygen it needs to have the Human Immune System work at 100% and cancer cannot live in a cell that has Oxygen. This information has been known in the United States since the mid 80′s and in China since early 90′s. As a Doctor Ron Paul has to target all guns on FDA and the “Black Box Rule” The cancer industry knows of CoEnzymeQ10 ability and told me and my wife “There is too much money involved when we asked why don’t he recommend that everybody take CoQ10. Turned his back on us, couldn’t look us in the eye, walking down the 4th floor hallway at Sloan Kettering. Contact us for more details Pete & Terry

    Costa Rica has allowed the US to bring 46 warships and 7000 Marines into their country – for humanitarian missions and to fight drug trafficking, of course. The marines are authorized to circulate throughout the country without restrictions. [There is no humanitarian crisis in Costa Rica, and drug trafficking is much worse elsewhere, such as along the Mexican border; so we know this is a ploy; but for what? We will learn the answer soon.] WeLoveCostaRica.com 2010 Jul 4 (Cached)

      Christine,

      One thing our greedy corrupt goverment is good at is taking all the fun out of life and making sure that we know our place as ignorant serfs!

      First of all, the Mexican boarder is NOT the MAIN point of entry for illegal drugs…hasn’t been since the late 80′s. Our commercial shipping ports are! Secondly, our concern with trying to “reduce” or stop illegal drug trafficing ANYWHERE with military force (and increased funding for police) is a sure sign of the addiction to the money that a War on Drugs (a war on anything) has created for our government.

      The government does not want to “stop” the flow of illegal drugs…There is too much money to be made.Unfortunatly it gets into the wrong hands. This is our societies uphill battle…We need to do an intervention!!!Which takes sacrifice and commitment of ourselves.

      Three things we can count on for sure by keeping a zero tollerance policy on illegal drugs is that everyweek we will hear or read about the problem with illegal drugs in our country (on our streets, with our youth, in our schools etc.)…It’s what keeps us worried; that, and every year or two we hear about a “major bust” with hundreds even thousands of pounds of illegal drugs as evidence and a few mules to boot…gives us a sense – though a false sense – that we are “winning” the war. And last but not least…For as long as we continue to have a zero tollerance policy we will always have to have a war…one that cost tax payers billions of dollars a year; money that could be used on a local state and county levels for bettering our public schools, creating jods, investing in state funded rehadilitation programs and community youth programs, etc.), a war that destroys innocent lives and devistates good families by tearing at the fabric of our communities and creating a false evil, paranoia.. This is what 30 years of our current drug policy has created and accomplished.

      To continue using such a policy and expect anything more is insaine and we don’t deserve our freedom.

      The media will never help bring attention to a bill that is designed to shut down the inter net.
      When we use the word media we are actually referring to the medium used by the government’s propoganda personell. The media is a branch of the government.
      A news show is actually the platform used by Big Brother to sell the jingles of the government.
      Coca cola’s ad men want you to sing their song and buy their product right? Well the news/propoganda machine has news casters who cast out their nets for us. They sell their own brand of jingles which are intended to hook onto the jingoistic tendencies that we all have and lure us into a state of complacency.
      For example, presently Fox is trying to appeal to a sense of moral outrage by telling it’s viewers that Iranians stone and beat women caught in adultery. This is a sale’s pitch. They are selling us on their war/occupation/empire building, with this tactic in the same way that Kellog’s sells their cereal.
      Television media is an arm of the government. They will do nothing to raise awareness of government deception.
      Why do you think they shut Ron Paul out of the TV debates?
      Awareness can only be raised on the inter net.
      That’s why the government/media want to shut us down.

      Lieberman Cybersecurity Bill Would Give DHS Broad Emergency Powers Over the Internet
      http://www.opencongress.org/articles/view/1917-Lieberman-Cybersecurity-Bill-Would-Give-DHS-Broad-Emergency-Powers-Over-the-Internet

      The article explains that there have been many attempts in congress, first by Jay Rockefeller, to introduce bills to ill affect our usage of the internet. You can see by the persistence what their true intentions are, and we know that the govt is very capable of creating false flags. We’ve lot track of the number of them that have been created around the world to covertly change things for the worse. A cyber attack does not have to come from outside America, no foreign country need be involved, just the plans and agenda of the shadow government that aims to take control over everyone and everything. We know that now. Push back. They change the names of these bills to make them sound palatable and acceptable to the American peoople (to not raise eyebrows and concerns) and those who introduce them may change, but their intentions are all the same. Remember the video where Jay Rockefeller said he wished the internet had never been invented. From his perspective, sure, he wants the NWO to progress unhindered….and the internet has been our saving grace, to inform and make us all aware because the media is not doing their job. The media is owned by the same folks and likeness to those who introduce these freedom killing bills.

      If our government was a pro-life kind of govt, one that stayed out of everyone elses business and minded our own, we wouldn’t have to worry about blowback. Besides, the terrorists are within our govt. If they were doing the right things by Americans, we would be living in peace and prosperity. That is worthy of spreading to the rest of the world, but when we don’t have it ourselves, how can we possibly give something we don’t even have to others? The govt is creating the worldwide turmoil on many fronts. They should just stop and clean up their own act or we need to do what is allowed in the constitution and create a new government since this one has become so destructive.
