Ron Paul

Congressman and former Presidential Candidate Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom in our nation’s capital. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies.

He is known among his congressional colleagues and his constituents for his consistent voting record. Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution.

In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are.”

    I have a fairly revolutionary new idea on how taxes should be levied. At first it sounds quite contrary to a conservative’s beliefs, but if you take the time to think it through I’m having a hard time finding fault with it. Maybe Ron and the rest of you can help. But please keep an open mind.

    What if we transitioned from an income tax to a net worth tax? It’s no secret the elite enjoy the income tax as it makes it nearly impossible for significant upward mobility in our society while at the same time not attacking the wealth the elite have already amassed. First of all if you moved to a wealth tax everyone in Hollywood and the Warren Buffets of the world would suddenly become a bit more fiscally responsible and vote as such since they’d see more of their dollars going out the door. Would be interesting to see if they are really willing to pay “their fair share.”

    Secondly, you would eliminate the progressive tax system we have today that causes frustration and inequality while at the same time not drastically altering who is paying the bill (i.e., half the country pays no tax just as they don’t today).

    The liberals (not the rich ones) should go along with it as it applies taxation more in line with “those that have benefited the most from our society.”

    It would encourage spending and hopefully expand our economy and create jobs. That makes everyone happy.

    Just think it through. Why do taxes need to be based on income at all? If you really want to see who can afford to pay taxes I’d love to see what everyone’s current effective tax rate is today by dividing their tax bill by their net worth. I gaurantee (even with today’s graduated tax) I’m sure the middle class’s effective tax rate will be the highest. Do the math for yourself and then imagine what the wealthy socialist elite in Hollywood and Wall Street would need to pay to be comparable. The other countries in the world on a net worth tax system all look to charge less than 2%. I’m guessing those in the USA’s middle class are paying 10% to 50% of their net worth annually in taxes. I doubt Barbara Streisand and friends are paying that much of thier net worth in taxes annually.

    Give it some thought. I’d love to hear what the major flaws are with moving to a system like this. Help me think it through.

      This progressive agrees with you, however, I would add the O’Reillys, Cavutos, Hannitys, Jack Welch, Steve Forbes, Rush Limbaugh, Bortz, etc to your list as they don’t fall into the column “middleclass”. You could probably throw some sports figures into the mix. Oh yeah, Koch Brothers (Cargill) and the rest of the Corporate CEO’s and megamerga maniacs whose wealth is well hidden. All of the aforementioned are living high on the hog “after taxes” while crying about how much they have to pay. Obviously they don’t know how to manage on a billion.

      Cut the bearocracy and the corruption from the budget. Present Americans with a simple and meaningfull budget plan. Then raise the capital any way you like and it will work. A Jerry Lewis style telephon can raise the capital without any taxes… if America embraced a smart financial investment and spending plan for our government. Do they snow us with tax and revenue schemes so we do not audit the spending and investing they do after they take our money? They treat us like children.

    I share your dilema. I have come to believe the answer is within. It is not only our right but responsibility to do something. I found that carrying around a sign at events is one outlet. BUT I do not feel as though it is “making a difference”. The domestic enemy is entrenched. So what is next? A gathering of like minds? Raise the “Militia”?

    • Al Bel says:

      Our national leaders (from both parties) seem to be shortsighted opportunists, possessing little regard for their oaths to the US Constitution, the principles of decency, or even plain, old-fashioned common sense. Both major parties in Washington, D.C., offer the American people varying degrees of socialism. Neither party demonstrates even tacit devotion to constitutional government. Federalism and limited government have all but
      disappeared under the oversight of both Republican and Democratic leaders. These disastrous Presidents (from Johnson, Nixon, and Carter to Clinton and Bush I & II) calmly leave office with no regret or remorse for the
      devastation, death, and deception that they inflicted upon the country. They live in the lap of luxury and comfort without the slightest tinge of conscience as to the massive destruction done to our Constitution, not to mention our economy, security, and way of life. Beyond that, our congressmen and senators are mostly miscreants in the similitude of Nancy Pelosi and Lindsey Graham.

      It’s hard to imagine there was a time when giants once lived among us. It’s hard to recall a day when the word “hero” really meant something. Today, everyone is called a hero. Well, as one Marine Corps veteran recently said, “If everyone is a hero, no one is a hero.” Amen!

      Perhaps more than anything, America needs great leaders once again. Men who are not enamored with power and wealth. Men who are more concerned with honoring their word and preserving the Constitution than they are being reelected and receiving a government pension. Men who really do respect the people that elected them. Men who are willing to be unpopular, if that is the cost of honesty and integrity. Men who know the difference between the eternal and the temporal. And, yes, men who know the meaning of the word AMERICAN.

      Is the day of great leaders past? With few exceptions, it would appear so. And that–more than anything else–is why we are in the mess we are in today.

      So, while you are saying your prayers tonight, don’t forget to ask God to give us some men like Washington and Jefferson. We could sure use them about now.

  4. The peaceful musician says:

    Everyone please watch this video. Yes Ron, let’ get the vaccinations to the people who need it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwRCmhQ615w&feature=related

  5. The peaceful musician says:

    I have been researching the movements of the Illuminati and their puppets for a long time now. I do agree with pretty much everything Ron Paul has to say. But I can’t help but be a little suspicious about Ron for a couple of reasons. Ending the fed does nothing when a one world government is about to take place, even sooner than anticipated once the treaty is signed in Copenhagen. Also I just found a video about Ron complaining that the government is not getting enough Swine flu vaccinations to people who need it.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLFzp8lXPys

    FACT: The swine flu was created by the monsters in the government to sell a shitload of Tammy Flu.

    FACT: Vaccinations are designed to make people sick in the future not cure, this has been proven for a fact but will never hit the media for obvious reasons.
    DO NOT TAKE VACCINATIONS AND DO NOT GET YOUR CHILDREN VACCINATED!
    Most illnesses, should you acquire them through life, can be overcome with things like MMS and DMSO

    FACT: There is no such thing as climate change. It is a hoax to form the New World Order and create new taxes.

    With everything you know Ron Paul, I’m sure you would be aware of what the vaccinations really are, either you are not aware and you are genuinely concerned for the public health, or that was a deliberate form of reverse psychology to make people want to take the vaccinations.

    Considering ending the FED doesn’t do shit once a world government is in power and vaccinations are bullshit, I have to suspect Ron is distracting people either intentionally as a puppet, or unintentionally because he really does care.

    I’m sorry if I have offended anyone, but I have been studying this a long time and people are still missing the big picture here because they are focusing on things which will not matter for much longer. I genuinely hope you’re true Mr Paul, I’m surprised how far you have got with your book and media efforts considering the powerful bankers could have stopped you at any time they wanted.

    FACT: Most of the trillions of debt is owed to the federal reserve which is a private corporation. Yes this is true.

    FACT Ron Paul wants to end the no longer needed fed, and Mr Paul also claims the fed is not a privately owned corporation when indeed it is. Saying the fed is not privately owned but just a creature of the government which runs in secrecy is bullshit, well the part about it running in secrecy is not bullshit, but it IS a privately owned corp and you god damn know it as much as we do.
    The fed will be no longer needed shortly and everyone’s attention is being taken off the people behind the scenes.

    FACT: Our attention should be on the bankers who are about to start a world government.

    For fuck sake everyone, wake up and revolt now before it’s too late. Remember, there’s huge power in numbers, if everyone starts working together right now, you could take over the media, you can open the eyes of the innocent soldiers which are fighting, killing and dieing for a false war.
    You can stop them running around in caves looking for Osama Bin Laden the man who was never supposed to be found in the first place. The guy was paid to be the face of terror.

    Now Ron Paul, if you really care for everyone, you should start addressing the REAL ISSUES. Please wake up everyone, time is running out.
    I’m trusting you really are a good guy Dr Paul and I’m trusting you to do the right thing.

    God bless you all.

  6. I have enjoyed following Congressman Paul in the news. He is talking about things that are important and make sense.

    It is my understanding that the Federal Reserve is a private bank owned by a handful of European corporations (most people don’t know this). We gave them the power to print and circulate our currency and then charge us and interest rate for it. Our government has no ownership in the Fed. Most of the $12 Trillion National Debt is owed to the Fed and we pay interest on this every year. Think about this ! Most are side-tracked thinking about Rebublicans and Democrats and we’re missing the biggest problem in the country!

    Thanks for the equation of evil contribution.

  8. Rudy Allan says:

    Goldman programmer Sergey Aleynikov who developed the flash trading program for Goldman, then stole it and uploaded it to a European Server.

    Prior to Goldman he was a Programmer for a company called IDT Corp. located near Goldman’s New Jersey Office tower. IDT is run by a man named Howard Jonas who grew up next door to and went to the same synagogue as Goldman’s CEO Lloyd Blankfein in the Bronx.

    Another neighbor in the housing authority complex was Congressman Alan Grayson, the same Grayson supposedly trying to investigate the Fed…talking about a sympathetic prosecutor??

    Grayson and Jonas and Blankfein all went off to Harvard together. They stayed friends and Grayson and Jonas would later found a company IDT Corp with Blankfein’s help and funding. It is quite unclear what IDT actually does (they claim they sell phone cards). But one thing is for sure, they brought Sergey Aleynikov over from Russia and allowed him free rein of the programming department at IDT Corp.

    And what came out of Sergey Aleynikov work was a high speed computer system called ‘flash trading’ which the top Hedgefunds began using under his consultation. His flash trading system earned Citadel Capital hundreds of millions and Goldman Billions :)

    Sergey Aleynikov is still in jail, but Jonas is making millions at IDT and Congressman Grayson is out pretending to audit the Fed (he is actually deflecting important information away from Ron Paul so that Paul’s efforts fail)

    Greetings to all:

    You can all blog all you want about what you want, but if this sinking ship gets salvaged and put back on coarse, it is going to require facts and people with enough courage and resources to pick up the ball and run with it. Many have died in wars fighting for or to maintain this country’s freedom and its not over yet.

    Rudy Allan, if what you have related is correct, then you have some facts.

    Now, I hope Ron Paul is paying attention to this blog or some people like him who can take that information and do some damage to our enemies with it and help save this country.

    For those of you who don’t really believe the Bank of England, (the Rothschilds), control our Federal Reserve and has been orchestrating the bankrupting and gutting of American, believe it. We believe it is real. We have been studying and watching this develop for over 30 years, so that is not a knee jerk statement. Don’t forget Lincoln and JFK. President Lincoln outlawed the Central Bank in the colonies and JFK was going to outlaw the Fed. They both were assassinated. They attempted to kill President Andrew Jackson and failed and he prided himself in having killed the “Bank” and set back the banksters around 70 years in their plans to put this country on its knees before them, but he didn’t kill fractional banking and that was a mistake.

    We may have won the revolutionary war, but once England, the Bank of England, through there 5 major banks got control of our money system, they, thereby, got it all back and established themselves as the blood sucking vampires they are upon the U.S. of A.

    Bottom line, there is too much corruption among the American people. Too many people willing to be involved in crooked dealings, too many people who will cheat and betray their neighbors, their fellow citizens, and then there are those who came here with the pre-meditation of undermining and destroying this country, such as the Arabs who live among us who want to take over this country from the inside out and declare this country to no longer be Christian, but Muslim.

    This country was founded as a Christian country and thousands of years of history around this world has shown that when you turn your back on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that God will turn His back on you and give you over to your enemies. It has happened may times before and it is happening again right now.

    If you want this country to survive, you must turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the one who sent Jesus to buy us back(redeem us) from this corrupt world, the same God that our founding fathers believed in.

    The condition this country is in right now is pathetic. We have the most dishonorable lot of people having infiltrated our government and are devouring the wealth of this country like ravenous wolves and hardly anyone is really doing anything about it, not really. Too much of it is pretense by our enemies to thereby give us false hope that the problems are being taken care of when they are not. We need a real uprising of the American people to investigate, prosecute, extradite these crooks from whatever country they have run to hide in and jail them for life.

    A serious pursuit of their prosecution will put a serious fear in the hearts of whomever is helping our enemies despoil this country.

    Enough for now.

    May God Bless all who deserve it and curse those who don’t. — Nemo

  13. The peaceful musician says:

    Hello everyone. I respect Mr Paul for exposing the federal reserve but let’s hang on a second.. Ron, you know just as well as all of us that the federal reserve is the least of our problems. Putting everyone’s attention on the federal reserve isn’t going to achieve much considering a one world government is in now in place ready to go, what makes everyone think they need the federal reserve anymore? A whole new system is already being set up. Everyone needs to be aware of the federal reserve, yes! But everyone needs to be focusing their attention to the underlying problems. I love the book “end the fed” but come on, how about end the bankers, end the Rothshchilds, end the Rockefellers, end the assholes controlling the UN. The good that has been coming out of this website is the fact people are talking about mainly underlying problems now, everyone is becoming aware that the federal reserve is just a symptom not the cause and our attention needs to be looking way past the Fed. If anyone thinks global warming and the greenhouse effect is true, well you need to argue with that with NASA and virtually every climate change expert in the world, this is proven to be a 100% hoax. Period! Without a doubt! 100% fact!! I strongly urge everyone to watch this full youtube video, about an 1.5 hours long. Pass this video link to every person you possibly can. Everything this guy says is 100% fact! No bullshit, no politics. Just facts.

      The Equation Of Evil
      Evil = Ambition – Ability
      http://www.postscience.com
      Post-science believes that the earth is created as a paradise, but human and material behaviors are regulated by non-violable laws of nature in physical and social sciences. Pain and suffering, and happiness and pleasure, are created to help us understand these laws of nature. For example, it had taken two world wars, namely, WWI and WWII, to teach us laws of nature in science. Similarly, it might take two global financial Great Depressions to teach us laws of nature in social science.
      The first Great Depression occurred around 1930s, and from that experience, Milton Friedman suggested the Quantity Theory of Money, such that Price x Quantity = Velocity of Circulation Of Money x Money Supply (PQ=VM), can be used to avoid future Great Depressions. The second financial Great Depression could either be going on right now in 2009 or will come later. In any case, the current financial crisis seems to have the financial authorities believing in the Quantity Theory Of Money, which, at least, have rescued us from the initial stage of potentially another Great Depression, through the faithful execution of the suggestion of Milton Friedman by the Chairman of Federal Reserve Board, Ben Bernanke.

      Good and evil take a lower priority than non-violable laws of nature in social science. In any action, laws of nature must be obeyed. We will be punished through pain and suffering, when we are ignorant of the laws of nature. Punishment is how nature teaches us laws of nature. Thus, ethics, which, Benedict Spinoza proposed, should depend on punishment, not any timely notion of good and evil, should be defined by the non-violable laws of nature rather than by good and evil.

      However, the Equation Of Evil is practical. Basically, it says that one uses evil to achieve one’s overly ambitious goals when one lacks the ability. Evil exists as a survival mechanism for low-ability creatures to compete against high-ability creatures for survival. It is a survival mechanism, a minimal ambition, for the weak to compete against the strong; it compensates the lack of ability.

      If we consider good as the opposite of evil, the equation for good is Good = Ability – Ambition. People with high ability and low ambition generally “have to” spend their time doing good. Throughout history there are people with high ability being defeated by evil people of low ability. Historically greatest ambitions for good were achieved with great ability, often accompanied by some “necessary” evil.

      The Equation is useful for judging people. It helps explain the prevalent evil in politics and business, which are characterized by unquenchable ambition for power and money. In particular, it helps to explain religion, which exists mainly to promote good and to eradicate evil. The greatest sin for Buddhism, the earliest of the main traditional religions, is ambition.

      Post-science believes that there should be a proper balance for good and evil. When evil becomes excessive, religions are invented to promote good. Idealistic practices of good in socialism or communism, which equalizes ambition, are the main causes of their downfall; they require too much good or ability for support.

      The Equation of Evil can be expanded for practical application in terms of the major elements of each of its terms:

      Evil (greed, cheating, etc.) = Ambition (ego, desire, happiness, etc.) – Ability (knowledge, health, suffering, wealth, etc.)

      where the study of the internal structure of the terms will certainly be controversial, but useful. The Equation is proposed purely for its relevance.

  14. Clayton says:

    Obama is upsetting.

    Prior to being elected Obama said he would bring home the troops. As we all know, this was a lie; Obama has committed more troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, plus his new war in Pakistan and his threats to Iran. What started as a 16 month plan for withdrawal, has become no plan to withdrawal at all. As the brother of a Iraq War Veteran, I find this very upsetting.

    Obama also said he was going to get America out of NAFTA and GAT. These trade agreements purposes are literally to take jobs away from American workers. Getting out of these agreements was also a lie, as CTV news reported: Canadian Officials had been told by Obama’s staff that this was “just campaign rhetoric.” As the son of two unemployed factory workers; I find this very upsetting.

    Obama and his Wall Street handler’s said that the TARP bailout would save countless Americans from bankruptcy and foreclosure. The day after the bill was passed, it was announced that the banks were just going to keep the money. As an American who can’t afford a home, I find this very upsetting.

    There were the lies about the public option health care bill, which is starting to look more like the Insurance Companies option. As an American without the means to afford health care, I find this very upsetting.

    He promised to do away with the Patriot Act, then he rewrote it and expanded it’s powers. As an American who believes in freedom, I find this very upsetting.

    He promised tax cuts for small businesses, remember how popular “Joe the Plumber” was during the campaign; and now he’s raised taxes and agreed to talks on the new carbon tax. He promised a $3,000 tax credit to small business for each new hire, to fix the unemployment problem. This never happened. As an over-taxed American, I find this very upsetting.

    He promised to cut government spending, now he’s on a government spending spree. He promised not to appoint lobbyists to his administration; which was clearly a lie. He promised to cut NASA funding, which would be used to make satellite weapons and other spaces gadgets. However, the most recent White House budget shows an increase in NASA funding. These things are very upsetting considering how little money our country has.

    He said he would give the American people five days to look over any bill before he signed it into law. He broke this promise with the first bill he signed. This should upset us all.

    He said he would close Guantanamo Bay, but he didn’t and he won’t. This continues to fuel the Anti-American sentiment throughout the globe, which is very upsetting.

    He promised that the DEA wouldn’t be wasting it’s efforts busting medical marijuana users, yet medical dispensaries in California have been shut down since he’s become president. As a medical marijuana patient, this is very upsetting.

    In a speech to military personnel, Obama claimed he had an uncle who served in World War II, who helped liberate the Auschwitz Concentration Camp; but history tells us that the Russian’s liberated Auschwitz, not the American’s. Having a grandfather who served in the Pacific Theater of World War II, I also find this lie upsetting.

    Normally, most of us would turn our backs on some one who lied to us 3 times (3 strikes and you’re out), but for some reason we continue to let Obama get away with it.

    In addition to his attempt to change the written history of World War II, Obama has made it clear that he’s all talk. He is going to continue to tell the American people what they want to hear, while doing everything he can to sell us down the river. Supporting this man and his policies as a president is unlawful according to our constitution, and we as American’s are obligated to demand his impeachment.

    Taxing the wealthy.

    Dear Ron Paul,

    We can’t afford the wars. We can’t afford the bailouts. We can’t afford economic stimulus. We can’t afford to save the auto industry. We can’t afford healthcare. We can’t afford more education. The country is going bankrupt. Future generations will shoulder the burden. The dollar is losing value. Wow. This sounds like a five alarm fire.

    These economic issues are urgent, but not impossible. The United States is still the wealthiest nation on the planet. The difference, today, unlike in the past, is that the wealth of the United States is no longer centered in the middle working class. In America today, the center of wealth is in the pockets of a 1% wealthily elite class. This trend is decades in the making and leads America to the threshold of most of today’s pressing issues and political concerns.

    The bottom line is that money is democratic. This is because Congress is charged with the printing of money and therefore the ultimate economic management of money. The wealthy elite may have all the money, but the money is just paper, an icon.

    Money’s real value is in a country’s institutions, infrastructure, laws, history, traditions, values, human capital, and people. That’s what the money/icon really represents, nothing else.

    When Congress decides to spend money on institutions, infrastructure, history, traditions, values, human capital and people, it is making an investment in the economic future of its money. This is because all these things are the money. An investment in the people is an investment in the dollar. This is what Congress must do. It must invest money in the “money”. This is a large part of Obama’s agenda.

    Let’s not panic. When we invest in institutions, infrastructure, history, traditions, values and human capital, we are investing in the future and in the money. The future of the economy and the dollar depends on all these things.

    It’s time the wealthy elite in this country count their blessings and stop complaining about paying the lion’s share of taxes. It’s just paper and congress is spending it on the people’s business. The success of the people’s business is the only assurance the wealthy have to stay that way. Most wealthy people understand investment. Taxes are an investment and insurance for the wealthy.

    It is the way of the world today that nations invest in the people who are supporting the people’s currency. Future winners are doing it now. Europe is doing it. Japan is doing it. China is doing it. India is doing it. America must also invest in itself. The alternative is to be left behind by others who better understand the true origin of their prosperity.

    This is not a new idea. America has invested in itself for over 200 years. Obama’s agenda is not scary. It’s simple common sense.

    As a Canadian, I will continue to support Ron Paul. Many Canadians are smart enough to understand that the decisions and policies of the United States greatly effect us as well. Ron Paul had many supporters here in Nova Scotia in the last election and he will hopefully have many more in 2012. We will continue to encourage our American friends to vote for Dr. Paul. I have been very liberal (democrat)/green party/ or NDP oriented most of my life (never conservative/republican) but feel Ron Paul’s approach for the U.S. is the one that makes the most sense. It is great to see a politician who actually has sensibility. My ideal cabinet would include Ron Paul, Jesse Venture, Dennis Kucinich, Alan Graysand, Adam Kokesh and Cynthia McKinney. Thanks.

      If I could ask a favor of you and those whom you know…
      That you hold an image of the defeat of the healthcare bill that will be devastating to the American economy and freedom for all. It is yet another government takeover of American freedom to choose and imposes yet more tax burdon on Americans and their grandchildren. Part of our government has been working heartily to destroy America to advance the new world order. WE STRONGLY OBJECT! Congress is in the process of the final debate and vote today. Hold a vision of the success of all those freedom fighters who have been pushing back on this agressive democratic portion of our government. It’s as if this faction of our government has been chipped and they’ve lost their rational minds! …controlled by and to serve the elite bankers and not the American people.

      This bill will ration care, put a huge beaurocrattic government in between us and our doctorss inhibiting our personal right to choose, will eliminate our personal medical right to privacy, increase the power of big pharma, increase taxes, devastate our economy.

      Big insurance corps and the government have acted in collusion to make it appear that one is better than the other. Both are bad. We don’t need health insurance. That is an extra expense and both the govt and insurance companies get in between us and our doctors. They would like us to believe we only have 2 choices. But that is not true. We have a 3rd choice!

      We need the cost of actual health care services to be lowered to affordable, like any other business, to maintain the privacy of our personal healthcare records and to choose for ourselves what care we will undergo and pay for. No beaurocrat knows us intimately enough to determine our health care needs!! Only we and our doctors would know what is best.

      The govt is once again trying to run a program, that is so important, our very health, but this corrupt government runs programs into the ground, into insolvency, like medicare, medicaid and social security. Spare us this disaster of being without health care in the future when the program fails! It will. Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. With program failure on their resume….they are not hired and qualified to do this work of healthcare. They don’t care. This federal corporation is only interested in two things…expanding government and taking our money for poor service in return.

      Picture the DEFEAT of this healthcare bill, HR3962, preserves our freedom. Watch the debate today.

        As I stood on the capital lawn on Thursday 11/5/09 and it started out invigorating but then quickly turned into despair as the crowd cheered one republican after another giving hollow speeches. I knew right then it was all for nothing. My efforts and all the others efforts were in vein. I saw the capital steps and knew if we didn’t at least storm the steps our protest would mean nothing. We should have booed all the politicians down after the second speech. Someone should have taken the microphone to say – oh yeah – where were you months or years ago – you are all full of crap – void just like the democrats and all other politicians! We should have climbed those steps and (peacefully) marched into the chambers – or the very least sat on those stairs in silence to their meaningless speeches. There is more that should have been done but that is the very least. Thousands of people spent a lot of time and money to say their piece but not one of us got that chance – it was all for nothing. I now feel all most all of you are just republicans going though the motions just like the idiots that nominated John McCain. We have one more chance – the Senate – if there is not real and meaningful revolt our country will fall. It is up to “WE THE PEOPLE” not the republicans democrats libertarians independents or others – they are ALL politicians NOT “WE THE PEOPLE”!!! We need a true leader to guide us – not some feel good do nothing – politically correct talking head. I say – CALL FOR A REAL REVOLT – start immediately. Tell the tea baggers and all other groups to force news coverage by all medias – declare a sort of war. We need millions – not thousands to storm the Senate in real protest. I, for one, will not participate unless real leadership immerges that really shows the American sprit in full force. I say, do it right and millions will join – and if they don’t – nothing more is lost – prepare for the worst.

          Al, I wondered if this rally was an effort of pre-riot control, to allow people to let off steam and vent before the healthcare bill was to be passed. I’d hoped not, but I still had an inkling the parties of our government are not what they have appeared to be to the public. We are seeing that both, all, parties fight each other to make it seem like we actually have a choice, a voice, while the elite behind the scenes do the real work of orchestrating policy, economics, decision-making. All this back and forth in debates then, is a waste of tax dollars for overpaid politicians who no longer represent us. I see them now as employees of a federal corporation who answer to the elite bankers. This explains their actions and also explains the true and honest feelings Americans now have from what we are seeing by watching politically insane, irrational and harmful actions of our government. It is a road to the destruction of America.

          I still receive an auto email generated by the obama campaign people. They still collect money for “organizing America”…rather re-organizing America. They sent one out this morning saying that the House has to vote on the healthcare bill a second time to become law. They need to achieve the 218 or more votes AGAIN. When this voting process takes place I don’t know. The email says Rep. Rick Larson made the deciding vote. He needs to change his mind or he can join the rest of the unemployed and start looking for another job.

          It is so hard to believe that Americans would sell out our liberty and freedoms.

          I listened to these videos to get familiar with Rick Larson. The first question in #2 video on how it would get paid for was of particular interest to me… taxes and/or by INFLATION.

            Citizen says only two ways this would be paid for: by increased taxes and by inflation!

            This is how it was sold to the American people:
            Says 1/2 would be paid by
            1.2% tax on people making over 1 million dollars (applause)
            other 1/2 would be from medicare savings, CUTS ON SENIORS CARE!

            Neither the big corp insurance companies nor the federal government (also a corporation) should be in charge of our healthcare. We should be in charge of our own healthcare, no insurance, just me and the doc with affordable cost to their services, just like any other free market business.

            Politicans trick the American people into thinking we only have 2 choices as to who is in charge of our healthcare.
            We actually have 3….us! We are to be in charge of our own healthcare.

        One Of The Worst Days In American History – The Day George W. Bush Was Elected.
        Compassionate Conservatism – translated to Socialist Tyranny

        George Bush Failed America In Every Possible Way That Could Be.

        George Bush – The Idiot and closet socialist led to the Brilliant Barack Obama the open Marxist

        After 9/11, he had a country that said, “We’re ready to follow”. There was so much we could have done. But he said, “Go shopping,” and then he divided the nation. He began the war by claiming we would be victorious and soon come back home. Then he mired us in a war similar to Vietnam.

        Homeland Security and other invasive laws killed American freedom and are now the tyranny tools used by our current Marxist installed government

        He pushed through the largest Medicare expansion since the program’s inception. This pushed us into debt more than any other event in American history and wound up enabling a horrendous call for healthcare reform that the Marxists and fools now embrace.

        He botched a partial privatization of Social Security – he failed badly and made it a mockery. Democrats scuttled Social Security reform even before the president could file a bill and he abandoned the effort.

        His Handling of Hurricane Katrina was utter incompetence and led to more entitlements than ever before.

        He was the first to talk of a broad remaking of energy policy – again empowering the Marxist calls on global warming and the stripping of American sovereignty through cap and trade propaganda.

        Immigration law came in 2007, and with it a new chance to redeem partial self respect – once again he failed America with inept and socialist/Marxist immigration law.

        Financial Crisis was the end. Finally, he is responsible for the worst domestic financial crisis in generations and maybe of all times. Just what the Marxists called for and needed for America’s total destruction.

        George Bush will go down in history for vast changes in federal social programs, expansions of executive power and a broad remaking of energy and education policies that directly led to Barrock Obama’s over through of America. A backward nation – those that love Bush should hate him and those that hate Bush should love him. It’s no wonder America has died. Will America ever open her eyes?

          I feel compelled to leave this link here. Not many people know of this bill with congress, the president, the speaker of the house firing off so many major America changing bills seemingly at once. We know now that Obama is part of the problem. He is not entrusted to do the work listed in this bill, but it shows the list of evil actions against the American people during the Bush/Cheney administration. Obama is now speedily racking up so many of his own attacks against the American people to devastate America. We also know the elite bankers and groups like the CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderburg Group, etc really run America, and the presidents, congress, the senate all work for them — to govern over the economy, the policies, does the decision-making. We the people have lost our voice in our own once free government.

      Simon, I have a question about the Canadian healthcare system.

      Is it made up of health insurance companies (with the government grouping these corporations together, heavily marketing and pushing these few corpororate health insurance companies)?

      or is it just that Canadians have lower health care costs, that the actual cost of services and medicines are simply lower?

      I remember a time when Americans could cross the border and buy their medicines much cheaper in Canada, but the U.S. govt created a law to make this illegal, thus prohibiting Americans from lowering their healthcare costs.

  21. The Brutal and the Stupid

    Dear Editor,

    America wants change. It voted for change when it elected Obama.

    It is time America get serious about change, why it’s needed, and what is needed.

    Today, powerful corporate interests bottleneck Washington. These interests buy congressmen through political donation to vote brutal/stupid policies that benefit corporate America at the expense of mainstream America.

    Corporate communism is the buying of congress for special interest favoritism. It is lobby cronyism that shepherds congressional committees and congress through brutal/stupid legislation favoring corporate control of major economic sectors.

    Today, 50 years of corporate communism results in brutal/stupid corporate control of banking and healthcare (not to mention foreign policy). The recent economic crisis is result of corporate communism in the banking and finance sector. The current healthcare crisis is result of corporate communism in the healthcare sector.

    The center of corporate communist control in Washington is the senate. It is so-oooo much cheaper to bribe senators than house representatives. There are only 100 senators. There are hundreds/endless numbers of house representatives. Corporate communists so-ooo understand the price of things. Who had a healthcare plan ready months ago? The House of Representatives. Who is still bottlenecked on the subject? The Senate.

    The senate has accommodated corporate communists for decades. Even senate rules are designed for the corporate benefit. Today, any senate rule that complicates and slows down decision can be a corporate benefit. Conservatism becomes a safe-haven for corporate communism. Many senators live in the shadow of corporate campaign donations and abject fear of losing these donations.

    Let’s start with the single most corporate communist senate rule that exists on the planet. This rule is the senate filibuster rule. It allows 6 or 8, well-bribed senators to completely bottleneck the entire US federal government whenever corporate communists need a bottleneck. Now that’s real communism. So it is today with healthcare and banking, tomorrow with our freedoms, and to infinity if corporate communists prevail.

    The single greatest obstacle to political change and true democracy, likely on the planet, is the senate filibuster rule. There are two houses of congress. We don’t need a third house in the form of senate filibuster rules. Write your senator and demand the repeal of all senate filibuster rules. This doesn’t end the bribing or the bottlenecking of the senate. It will, however, make it much more expensive… and corporate communists so-oooo well understand expensive.

    Who’s the most brutal-stupid senator in the news today? Joe Lieberman.

    Healthcare

    Dear Ron Paul,

    Americans are leaders. Americans are not afraid of a challenge and they don’t give up. Americans are also logical and capable of sound decision. So why are we so obediently capitulating to the healthcare establishment? Why do we so willingly buy the corporate lines?

    Take charge of your own healthcare, America. Quit buying the caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, sugar products, and drugs (legal and illegal). Quit supporting the snake-oil pharmaceuticals by buying every dog and pony TV ad. Do your own health homework. Quit the heavy reliance on professionals. Cut down on the animal products. Replace sugar with fruit. Eat more vegetables. Drink more water. Plant a garden.

    Have we any idea how much of our poor health is corporate sponsored? Take another look at rows of junk food/drink in our supermarkets. Healthcare isn’t rocket science. It’s a matter of proactive behavior and taking personal responsibility. Are we going to wait for the government or corporations to heal us? How many more lifetimes of sickness must pass?

    American’s history has taught one lesson. If you want a job done right, you do it yourself. Healthcare is 95% do-it-yourself. Professionals get a 5% cut. That’s plenty.

    America, take a “healthy” dose of self reliance. Lighten it up and pick it up. We’ve got bigger fish to fry.

  28. Greg says:

    Dear Mr.Paul
    Next time you run for president, here are two suggestions for your platform. First, do not trust the voting system. Have your people near certain balloting stations asking people who just voted to “check” the system by entering a second ballot the old fashoned way; with paper. Then check the results with what their computer system recorded. I suggest you will find some serious descrepincies. Second, there is one thing our system could adopt from the Canadian system. In Canada no business, charity, or anything else can now give money to a political party. Only individual persons can give, and each person can only give about $1,000.00 per year. This stops companies from manipulating the Government into owing them favors for donations. It stops the rich from making their “donation” vote count for more than the average guy. It has done a lot to clean up the Canadian system.

    • Sean says:

      Right On! Greg your the man. I hope Mr Paul is listening. Wow my country does something right for a change.

    • Lindsey says:

      Greg: I have worked at our polling stations in Florida and from what I have observed, we are on the up and up. We now have paper ballots. I would encourage the rest of the country to go that route. However, I don’t think that we have as many problems as you insinuate although we definately have them.

      VOTE FRAUD: WHAT THEY AREN’T TELLING YOU

      http://www.newswithviews.com/Devvy/kidd72.htm

      “The missing link in the vote fraud investigation has been found. The November 1996 issue of Relevance Magazine reveals that two-way hidden modems are being built into the ever growing number of computerized optical scanner/direct recording voting machines in use all across the country from New England to California.

      “These ostensibly independent voting machines are each driven by its own mini-computer. For example, the citizen, immediately after voting, feeds his ballot through an optical scanner which “reads” the vote and allegedly records the results immediately. Right after the polls close, a precinct worker obtains the cumulative “results” from that polling place by pushing a button which causes the mini-computer to issue a printed sheet.

      “How can tens of thousands of these independent voting machines in tens of thousands of separate locations possibly be manipulated without involving tens of thousands of people?….The bombshell from O’Halloran’s article is that these hidden modems are accessible by remote cell phone technology. In other words, these voting machines can be accessed and manipulated from a central super computer without a phone line connected to the wall, and without the local precinct workers knowing that anything is happening at all.

      “According to Dr. O’Halloran, “Of course, when the same company that writes the source code, also designs the internal modem, the possibilities are endless for accessing the computer either before, during or after the election to alter, or at least interrogate the computer’s vote count. It raises the specter of a remote high-speed, vote rigging computer automatically and surreptitiously contacting, querying and rapidly adjusting the votes inside many precincts and/or central counting machines nationwide.”

In addition to bailing out any one being unconstitutional, I thought the purpose of three branches of government was for checks and balance not to do the bidding of the exec branch.

    What banks and wall street did – pales compared to what they are doing now.

    Many loan contracts and credit card agreements allow banks to seize first and ask questions later.

    If you have a small business credit card with bank of america and are trying to work out terms to pay it off…. Guess what? They can take money from your Bank of America checking or savings without your knowledge or permission. Close those accounts and move them now. They can and will do this.

    If you have more than one commercial real estate loan with one lender guess what? If you have trouble with a loan first they raise your interest rate to a default rate on it to as high as credit card rates like 11 to 19% high. Some banks also raise the rate on all your other commercial loans, even those not having trouble to this same high rate. How many foreclosures does this produce? Commercial real estate is in trouble. Banks are taking real estate and business assetts and when they are done fewer people will own more and more people will own less… competition will be less, fewer families will own more of everyting.

    Banks need to be audited now. We need to see who benefits, how many suffer from this daily business. How corrupt are they today? Now? If media probes into what banks are doing now instead of what they did last year… that is how we can stop them. I have evidence and I know many citizens who can testify now to corrupt and unethical practices being implemented now by their lenders. Right now I know Lawyers and Accountants that will take these cases if there are any funds to fight the banks in court with. Troubeled homeowners have few dollars to spare. Troubled small business owners also need legal funding. The corruption of banks today will be exposed in an open court. To avoid this banks implement dark ex-parte, “defendent not invited”, closed hearings with a judge, here they present only their side and they can lie and purge themselves and they do this a lot. Here they gain a court order to take over a business before foreclosing on it. This drive down the business or ends it. Few recover in good times… none escape in hard times. I have a small business that is being taken in this manner, as it turns out mine is one of many.

    I can barely contain myself and I want to be more involved in reclaiming our government. I am trying my best to stay informed and passing out the verifiable news as I get it. I was able to get my son to the march on DC on 9/12, but we can not wait any longer with everything that is going on including the United Nations Climate Change Treaty that is scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009 and the influx of Muslims. Our acting president is playing into every hand except the one that is good for America. Now that the illuminati and Billdaburg group are showing their Obama support, it is clear to me that Obama is selling and giving away US assets to appease those that put him into power.

    I feel that we need to get organized and plan toward getting this administration out/done/finished. I am asking you and I will be asking others that I can think of or can contact. Please give me some ideas.

    An American concerned,

      From where I’m sitting in New Zealand, we are also just as involved as our PM and government are also part of this movement. I believe there is only one way to get the message to the world apart from the internet which doesn’t seem to be affective enough. It would be a professionally organized, heavily armed group of people working together globally who could hijack as many media companies as possible and force them to put the message on the air. Obviously force would be necessary to make this happen, I don’t like the sound of something like this but after thinking about this a long time, I really can’t think of any other way, unless someone else has a better suggestion? I can only wish there was a global group out there who could pull this off, we all know there is way more than enough evidence to wake everyone up if only we could get the evidence to the people. I believe Zeitgeist has some good facts in it but leave out the religion part because it will offend too many people, and the Obama deception is a documentary that would wake most up in masses. Am I thinking way over my head here?
      Another idea would be, the richest people in the world whom are “not” involved with the bad guys, could get together and start a free underground world wide TV network offering free movies etc 24/7. Pump it by advertising it in mass as a free movie channel to all but not advertising it as a channel which will reveal the truth behind conspiracies etc, obviously the trick would be to get it on the media to advertise it.
      Again I know I’m probably way over my head here, but TV and the media is how the bad guys reach everyone, so I see that as the best way too, if only there was a way.
      Sorry for posting a big long novel here..!

  36. Pete McCann says:

    My son turned me on to Ron Paul. I’m reading one of your books and now want to read all the rest. I was surprised I was so in the dark about some of the issues. I was in the dark about the fed for sure. I’m guessing because I hear so little about it that many people are in the dark about the fed and a number of other issues. It’s good common sense to me.I agree with Ron on just about all issues I’ve read about so far. I also would prefer independent party rather than the other 2 parties even though that makes it harder in some ways. I’m curious about Ron’s view on religion. I’m a non-believer in a God concept and feel that most religions seperate rather than bring people together. I don’t really care what other people beleive as long as they don’t care that I don’t. I’m just wondering if I’d fit in seeing that I agree with 99% of the issues.

      Religious freedom (and the respect of that right i.e. “I don’t really care what other people believe as long as they don’t care that I don’t.”) is a fundamental principle of the “liberty” message.

    Ron Paul,

    The banks are one step ahead of us out here in Sacramento California. Assets were taken from poor and lower income citizens first. Their homes were lost and their jobs were gone two years ago. Then hard working self employed, small business owners and private contractors lost their homes, retirement, and their savings last year. This year middle and upper middle class have joined the ranks. As multitudes are losing also their homes, their assets, retirement funds. The investors and corporations who survive from much manipulation, are taking all they can from all they can. The few bailed out, benefit now by taking hard assets like stock, real estate, commodities and bonds.

    The destruction of the dollar was yesterdays news, now they plan and they acquire more for only a few. Citizens need to clean house with political families, and banking families, facing up to the ruling class to end corruption at the top…. working down then to local and community levels. Economics can improve a lot when corruption is reigned in. Right sizing government and right assigning it to it’s mission, this is the only way forward.

  38. Wade the peaceful musician says:

    Here in New Zealand I am doing my best to spread the good will and words of Ron Paul. I have been following Mr Paul’s movements a long time now and he is the answer to most of our global problems. Fuck the federal reserve, David Rockerfeller, the Bilderberg group and all the others involved in this NWO plot. New Zealand has been heavily influenced by these same people for a long time now, our prime minister John Key is yet another puppet of the NWO members and their corrupt organizations, and yes he is a banker and yes, he is sending our troops to fight in Afghanistan, how long will NZ be known as a peaceful nation? For many years now we have been used as lab rats for the NWO experiments and NZ is quickly becoming an unstable, unsafe country to live in. We have started our own little group over here which will eventually be exposed to the public to help spread Ron Paul’s message to the people. We are only a small nation, but we can help make a difference. To everyone out there, we as a people around the globe can make a difference before it’s too late. Mr Paul, you have many more supporters out there than you realize and we all respect you very much, and we play our part to make sure you have many more to come. Whether you realize it or not, you are the main voice for peace in this world and you are the one people will listen to. Go for it!!

  39. Pat Clark says:

    Even though Obama won’t produce his birth certificate from Hawaii, probably because it doesn’t exist, he is still not qualified to be President. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. READ BELOW:

    There are two United States Supreme Court decisions that show that the meaning of an Article II “natural born Citizen” is not found in the Fourteenth Amendment or in any other part of the Constitution, but rather in the common law. The Supreme Court decided these cases after the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted in 1868. In both cases, the Court decided whether the person was a “citizen” of the United States, and not whether that person was an Article II “natural born Citizen.”

    Chief Justice Waite, in Minor v. Happersett, in 1875, stated: “The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens,as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

    Justice Grey, 23 years later in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) repeated what Justice Waite said in Minor about the need to resort to common law when defining “natural born Citizen:” “In Minor v. Happersett, Chief Justice Waite, when construing, in behalf of the court, the very provision of the fourteenth amendment now in question, said: ‘The constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that.’ And he proceeded to resort to the common law as an aid in the construction of this provision.” U.S. v Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898).

    In both of these cases, the Supreme Court did not look to the Fourteenth Amendment to define what a “natural born Citizen” is. Rather, both courts said that the meaning of that term must be found by resort to the “common law.” What do both of these Supreme Court decisions tell us? First, they show that there is a difference between a Fourteenth Amendment “citizen” and an Article II “natural born Citizen.” If the two terms were the same, the Supreme Court in both of these cases would not have said that the meaning of a “natural born Citizen” is not contained in the Constitution, for the Fourteenth Amendment was already part of the Constitution and the Court could have easily said that the definition of a “natural born Citizen” is contained right in the Fourteenth Amendment. Second, the Supreme Court in both of these cases also said that the meaning of an Article II “natural born Citizen” is not contained in the Constitution but rather in the “common law.” Here we have clear evidence that the United States Supreme Court itself has recognized that the Fourteenth Amendment does not define what an Article II “natural born Citizen” is and has stated that its definition may be found only in the “common law.” Hence, we can see that simply being declared a “citizen” under the Fourteenth Amendment does not make one an Article II “natural born Citizen.” Neither the Fourteenth Amendment nor Congressional Acts has changed the meaning of a “natural born Citizen,” for these sources address only the question of what is a “citizen” and do not touch upon what is a “natural born Citizen.”

    The common law they refer to is Vattel’s Law of Nations.

    The Law of Nations, Vattel 1758. Used by Ben Franklin, John Jay, George Washington, and others. Volume 1, chapter 19, Section 212, “natural born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.”

    From Article II of the Constitution:
    No person except a natural born citizen or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.

    Per the British Nationality Act of 1948, Obama when born in 1961 was a British subject at birth. Obama’s father was not a U.S. Citizen, nor was he an immigrant to the USA, nor was he even a permanent resident of the USA.

    Article 1 Section 8 Subsection 10 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to “To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations.”

    AS YOU CAN SEE THE, THE LAW OF NATIONS IS A PART OF OUR CONSTITUTION. SO I DISAGREE WITH THE COURT THAT THE CONSTITUTION DOES NOT DEFINE NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. IT DOES BY DEFERRING TO THE LAW OF NATIONS.

    Punishing those who commit offenses against the Law of Nations would include punishing those who conspire to put an unqualified person into the Presidency, and the usurper too. Obama is a usurper.

      You will probably never see this; but here goes anyway. Today, I finished ‘End the Fed’. Right on, the FED’s got to go. And can we include Goldman Saks too. Though, I think you played down the financial problems we had in the late Eighteen hundreds (i.e., no bank).
      I like most of your positions. However, under your form of ideal Government, we would not have SS and Medicare. That bothers me. It can’t have anything to do with the fact that I’m seventy three and living off both. I too read Ayn Rand but have always had a problem with her do it for you and fuck the rest philosophy.

The drain comes from secret expenditures, black operations by our military, crazy high monopoly cost for fed families to run our currency, these top side drains iare too much. Fix it or fail. Democrat / Republican just a dog and pony show distracting attention away from the American Ruling Class. Google American Ruling class – and watch the documentary, our economy has been hijacked by bandits.

    When the fed ends the same bankers will be in power and will propose a new system that will make current wage slavery look like disney land. The only solution is to remove the diseased people who control the world’s money, corporations and all hallowed institutions of government, military, economic and religious establishments.
    They all are treasonous crooks who must be removed. Disembodied.

    • Luco says:

      Too Big to Survive

      For recurrence to constitutional principles for effective government in a free society.

      The Federal Government is on an exponential growth path with alarming, dangerous potentials regardless of Constitutional restraints such as US Constitution Amendment X:

      “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

      To reestablish a principled Federal Government a Constitutional Federal Limit Amendment is needed:

      FEDERAL LIMIT AMENDMENT

      The total annual expenditures of the government of the United States shall not exceed a limit established at the time of ratification of this amendment except as may be authorized at any time for periods of up to twelve months by at least fifty one percent of the State Legislatures. After ratification of this amendment, all income of the Government of the United States in excess of the established limit shall be disbursed to the States on the basis of population or shall be used to reduce the national debt.

      BASIC EFFECTS

      Basic disciplines would be created by such an amendment;

      1. Control of the size and growth of the Federal Government through contitutional budgetary restraints.

      2. Debt reduction or dispersion of excess federal funds in a manner that is nationally equitable and not subject to federal political influence.

      3. Federal competition for available funds will cause program rejustification and the elimination of unnecessary functions.

      4. The Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan wars would likely not have been authorized and funded with this amendment in effect.

      5. States rights and constitutional federalism would be reinforced.

      Freedom within limited government represents the most modern, vital concept of government yet known to man. American testing of this concept as defined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights represents a relatively limited evaluation in terms of longevity in society experiments. Today, we see the experiment changing to provide ever more limited liberties and exponentially expanding government. The history of the experiment, however, shows resultant evidence that must be considered and applied in further development of the original concepts. Hopefully, such development would gain a mass re-acceptance of freedom’s principles thereby returning all constitutional rights to the people and providing for a government that is constitutional, effective and responsive to the nation’s needs and restoring liberty to the individual, dignity to the legislature and purpose to the ballot box. This would be the goal of a Constitutional Independent voter.

      The Book “Too Big To Survive” details the critical need, benefits and effects of a Federal Limit Amendment. It also discusses problems with unconstitutional government and the current political parties and defines the role of a Constitutional Independent. It is available at LULU Publishing:

    • The peaceful musician says:

      I’m not knocking Ron Paul in any way, I respect him very much but you raise a great point here that everyone needs to think about. You’re right, it is the people controlling it all from the Rothschilds to the Rockefellers that need to be sorted out, otherwise new systems will quickly be developed. Ron did quote in one of his speeches that the fed is not privately owned, it’s a creature of the government but is controlled in secrecy…This is a privately owned corporation from the evidence I have seen so I’m a little confused here.
      I don’t hear Ron Paul talking about the Rothschilds or the Rockefellers, I’m curious as to why.
      Would like to hear comments on this from everyone please.

      Thanks

    • The peaceful musician says:

      More so, I would like to hear what Ron has to say about the Rothschilds, Rockefellers etc, as it’s more important to expose them than just exposing the fed! So if you’re reading this Ron, please comment as it’s an important issue. These links here provide important information, especially the first one as it has a family tree like format to give everyone a better understanding of who really owns the fed.

      End the fed….hmmm maybe it should be END THE BANKERS! And the global groups they are involved with.

      However, if money was backed by precious metals etc and there was no central banks printing money from thin air, that would take a lot of power away from those people, maybe it’s just too dangerous for Ron to talk about them…who knows?

    The American Citizen’s Healthcare Payment Plan

    Phase 1:

    1. – Allow all Ins. Cos. to sell nationwide to any and all people groups or organizations.
    Why are there only a few ins. cos. to choose from within each state? Whatever the reason is or was it has no merit. We don’t weather it is corruption, lobbyists or past reasons – it doesn’t matter. Our citizens want (need) more choices and be free to choose any insurance company in business. Any debate against cross state insurance purchases is bogus. People having more places to shop creates competition – competition lowers prices for the consumer – there is no debate about that – it’s a no brainer.

    2. – Health Ins. premiums are to be equal for all people – no discounts for groups or organization. All health ins. plans cost the same for everybody.
    Why should your insurance be cheaper if you work at X company than if you work for Z company? Why should your insurance cost more if you don’t belong to a certain group? Each insurance policy covers individuals within the group called America. We are not talking about shoes here – we’re talking about medical costs. All Americans should be entitled to the price for the same product in a market as big as America. We can put that another way – we want a group policy that offers the best price possible – our group is America – every American is a member of the group called America. Those that get the cheaper price now will bitch about this – they will bitch until they are faced with the situation as others are now – unaffordable medical costs. For those that have no representation – the poorer amongst us – those that aren’t in a union – those that aren’t fortunate enough to have a mouthpiece speaking for us have been at a disadvantage. It’s time we level this playing field and allow every American equal opportunity for medical care. This may result in more cost for some in the beginning (while others get their price lowered) but over time this equal pricing will lower the cost for all Americans. It will also enable all Americans an opportunity to change jobs or any social circumstance without the fear of encountering unaffordable medical treatment. Only the elite that want to suppress others will quarrel with this. Corrupt thinking is the only explanation for disagreeing with fair pricing for all for a product as crucial as healthcare.

    3.- All Employer Healthcare Plans are to be converted to employer healthcare cash payments to employees to enable employees to buy individual health ins. plan.
    All employers that pay for its employee’s health insurance will continue paying for their health insurance. The difference is they won’t pick the insurance company for the employee – the employee will get the money to buy his own insurance from any company he chooses. If the employee chooses not to buy insurance he looses the money – same way an employee that is offered money to enroll in a retirement program now. If an employee joins the retirement plan he gets the money – if he doesn’t enroll he gets no money. Our new healthcare plan calls for ALL people to pay the same price for the same insurance so the change from employer health insurance to employer health payments will have no change – no added expense – no change in coverage. The change will be that the employee will now be able to shop for better cheaper insurance policies than he has now. This will result in cheaper better healthcare for himself and all fellow Americans.

    4. – Employers get tax deduction for providing money to employees for health ins.
    This will encourage employers to continue providing money for health costs. It also provides other employers to provide employees with money for health costs. It is fair and equal – no employers excluded or favored.

    5. – Employees get tax deduction for buying health ins.
    Any and all American citizens shall receive a tax deduction for healthcare costs. A 100% deduction for health insurance and health accounts. There shall be no “special treatment” “special incentives” or any other “special situations or circumstance” for any American citizen no matter what.

    6. – Doctor Care Insurance is legal and encouraged. This is a new type of healthcare ins. for primary doctor visits and doctor treatments. Each doctor may operate their own plan for his own patients. Doctor care insurance is a plan where patients pay regular premiums to their own doctor and receives free visit and treatment – same as current health ins. Doctors will be encouraged to operate these insurance plans. All doctors shall be eligible and no doctor shall have preference in any way or for any reason whatsoever The rules and guidelines shall be written by a team of doctors and insurance executives with no interference or input from congress government officials or government agencies.
    These plans will have many benefits. Among the benefits are the strengthening of doctor patient relates. It will make the doctors payment collections more secure and less stressful. The doctor will have more time for patients and spend less time on complicated book keeping. The excessive paperwork and requirements by government and insurance companies will be gone. These plans will remove fraud and misuse. This means the patient will be making payments directly to the doctor and not to a third party. This will control doctor visit costs and eventually decrease the cost of visits. It will encourage patients to see the doctor more regularly and not wait until an illness festers and worsens and becomes more costly. This will cause many people to maintain 2 insurances – health and doctorcare. This will not be redundant or more costly. Health insurance companies will now be able to offer policies where doctor visit are an option (like dental and vision are now) thus reducing the cost of the normal health insurance policy.

    7. – Doctors will receive tax incentives and tax deduction to establish Doctor Care Ins. Plans.
    This will reduce the price a doctor must charge for Doctor Care Insurance. It will also provide the incentive for doctors to operate ins. plans.

    8. – Give people tax deduction for doctor payment plans and all health ins. premiums.
    There shall be a 100% tax deduction for health insurance and health accounts. There shall be no “special treatment” “special incentives” or any other “special situations or circumstance” for any American citizen no matter what.

    9. – All people below the poverty level receive medicade/medicare – the same as the elderly receive (elderly will have no change from the present.
    This is included here to insure these people will not loss the benefit they have now. Those that don’t have ins. and those that can’t afford to buy ins. are currently a big problem – they are draining our resources. But now each of these people that work would have health accounts and would potentially repay part or all Medicaid/ medicare payments. As worker’s healthcare account balances rise the number of uninsured and those unable pay will shrink. All the improvements contained in this healthcare plan will also dive down medical costs both enabling more people to be able to pay and when the government has to pay the cost will be less.
    Fact; no person in America today is refused medical care. If you don’t have ins. and/or can’t pay your medical bills ALL people are covered by Medicaid/ medicare and/or other government agencies. That’s the current law. All the talk about poor people not having medical coverage is propaganda – no person in America has to go untreated. All the “powers that be” are playing on your sympathy – it’s a real con job by ALL government people.

    10. – No illegal residents shall receive government paid healthcare. Only American Citizens receive any medical payments – without exception.
    No explanation required.

    11. – Guidelines shall be established for doctors tests – no unneeded testing – no “defensive tests”.
    This will give the medical and legal system rigid rules about what negligence is and what is not considered negligence. This will give juries a rigid standard to go by in deciding lawsuits.

    12, – Reform lawsuit laws to discourage excessive lawsuits
    The cost of a frivolous lawsuit will become the cost of the lawyer that initiated the suit.

    13, – Develop guidelines and parameters for doctor negligence dollar settlements.
    Juries and non-affected parties now use emotion when determining awards. This eliminates excessive awards.

    14. – Develop punitive damages guidelines – no settlements to be super-excessive.
    Juries and non-affected parties now use emotion when determining awards. This eliminates excessive awards.

    15. – Phase all healthcare changes over a 2 year time frame.
    This will make the transition possible.

    Phase 2:

    A). – Individual healthcare accounts are now established – these are individual accounts similar to current retirement accounts (same basic rules) except it is mandatory (like social security). The deduction shall be 3% of the gross of employee’s paycheck. This shall be tax deductible. All employers will make proper deductions from paychecks and forward the money to the employee’s health care administrator (bank mutual fund etc.). The account is in the individual’s name and NOT held or administrated by government. The money in these accounts is used only for medical costs and nothing else. In the end, all remaining money in an individual’s account goes to heirs or elsewhere as directed by the individual – this money shall not be taxed. The individual owns the account, the only involvement of government is to insure proper administration and that the money is used for the owner’s medical expenses to the end. From time to time an individual’s account may have a negative balance (see other clauses) in that event there shall be no penalty or interest charge to the account owner. If at the age of 60 or at a later age any individual account balance exceeds a minimum amount – set by figuring the average medical cost expectation for the individual – the individual may withdraw the excess (tax free). If and when an individual’s healthcare account totals an amount equal to the average medical cost spent yearly then all money above that figure shall be eligible to be invested under the same terms and conditions as retirement

    accounts. If healthcare money is placed in investments and a future illness occurs where the individual’s medical costs exceed the amount of cash contained within the account the investments shall not be deemed necessary to make up the deficit, instead a government loan shall be issued to pay the remainder of the outstanding medical costs. That loan shall then be repaid over time by the individual. Gains from investments shall not be taxed.
    How do we start a direct payment method – there would be no money in health accounts? Anytime a person needs medical treatment but doesn’t have enough money in there health account an automatic (interest free) government loan would enable loan payment to be made from the health account. The patient would then repay the loan when insurance reimburse them and/or regular health account deposits would enable repayment of the government loan. That would mean your health account may sometimes have a deficit. That would be just like a credit card is now except there would be no interest penalties or fees. There will be people that become disabled or die or otherwise can’t repay the loan. In those instances the government would absorb the loss – just like they do now – it’s Medicaid/medicare.
    How would health accounts work? They would work similar to the way social security does – mandatory payroll deductions. The difference is that instead of your money going to the government and the government administering your account the healthcare deduction would go into your own special bank account and you administer it yourself. This money can only be used for medical purposes. Government would not be able to take your money – use it for other purposes or keep your money in the end. Your health account would be yours and in the end you would decide what to do with any excess remaining – give it to your heirs or whatever you want. If you manage your healthcare properly you may have a substantial sum later in life.
    The vast majority of Americans will have health insurance and doctor care insurance. Between these two medical treatment methods of payment a person that manages their healthcare costs properly might never need to use the money that accumulates in their healthcare account. This individual could end up accumulating a substantial sum later in life.
    Healthcare accounts will become thought of as a sort of a nest egg or a rainy day account. This will give additional incentive for individuals to shop carefully and control the cost of medical treatment thus driving down the overall medical costs for all Americans.
    How would banks and administrators handle these health accounts? They would be handled similar to the way retirement accounts are now. All that needs to be done is apply the same rules to health accounts that banks mutual funds and others do for retirement accounts.
    Why confuse things by establishing a new primary doctor care ins.? This would open up a new world of benefits and improved health care. It personalizes and strengthens doctor patient relations. It secures payment without over regulation costs – without excessive booking – without risk of nonpayment. It eliminates fraud and abuse that occurs now. It also strengthens direct payment – that direct interaction between doctor and patient will reduce costs and enable better treatment.

    B). – All American citizens shall be qualified for government healthcare loans. If any citizen requires medical treatment but doesn’t have healthcare insurance or enough money in their personal healthcare account and can’t afford to pay the cost of the treatment the government shall make an interest free loan to the individual for medical care payment. If, for valid reasons, the loan goes unpaid the government absorbs the loss.

    C) – There shall be no third party healthcare payments. All healthcare payments are made directly from patient to healthcare provider (except Medicaid / medicare and other government subsidy payments). . It is the insured responsibility to pay healthcare bills.
    How can people pay first and then wait to be reimbursed? Each and every person will have a health account where a portion of there pay go directly into (like social security payments are now) They are allowed to draw on this account to pay medicals costs only and when they are reimbursed by ins. that money goes back into the health account. Over time all people would have money to pay first and get reimbursed. If/when there is not enough money to pay first and wait for reimbursement the government shall issue an interest free loan to bridge the payment. Insurance companies should not pay directly to health providers – this makes costs high and enables the potential for fraud and misuse. All people should pay health costs and then be reimbursed by ins. Co. Also; by doing this people would negotiate the fees for medical costs – any savings they negotiate would benefit themselves and this would allow people to keep tract of the costs. If every person were to pays for their own medical costs those costs would be a small fraction of what the costs are now. Patients would negotiate to drive prices down. The competition would demand suppliers take less.
    In every single incidence where a third party pays (Ins. Co., Gov. etc.) the cost is higher. A few examples:
    • Auto accidents; if you pay it’s cheaper than if an Ins. Co. pays
    • Apartment rental; if you pay it’s cheaper than when Gov. welfare pays the bill
    • Business travel; you get it for less if you pay – if the employer pays it costs more.

    • If you have to make a $10,000 down payment to buy a house you buy a $100,000 house – if you don’t have to make any down payment you will buy a $150,000 house.
    • Teeth cleaning; if you pay it’s $30 – if Ins. pays it’s $60
    Why do Doctor visits cost so much? There was a time when you went to the doctor and paid the doctor $10. then doctor visits converted mostly to a third party payer. There is now no direct interest in the amount paid and the cost skyrocketed. Direct payment will dive these costs down.

    If you think medical costs can’t get dramatically cheaper – you’re wrong. My first computer cost me $9000 – my last computer is 100 times better than the first one was and it cost me $1800. I paid for every computer I bought – competition drove those prices down. The key ingredient to a free market is the payer shops and the shopper pays – not someone else with misaligned interests pays. Medical costs are no different than any other exchange of goods. Simple eyeball to eyeball – consumer to supplier works. Receiver is the payer controls fraud – receiver is the payer controls prices.

    D) – Healthcare payment is first paid by the individual’s health ins. If not insured or ins. doesn’t cover the amount owed healthcare account money is used. If both those options are exhausted or do not cover the costs the government will supply an interest free loan to the individual for payment. If the individual can not repay the loan for valid reason the loss reverts to Medicaid / medicare and/or the government.

    E) – Phase 2 will implemented over a time frame that completes phase 1 and 2 into a complete plan.

    F) – Covering Preexisting conditions; Any insurance company may offer insurance that covers preexisting conditions but it will not be mandatory. it would be nice to have it mandatory for ins. to pay for preexisting conditions – but that isn’t a good idea. If ins. cos. have to cover preexisting conditions your premiums would soar. An ins. co. collects premiums and hopes you won’t get sick until you have paid enough in premiums to cover the payout – that’s a gamble – a gamble they are willing to take. If they have a huge payout for a known prior condition before they collect enough premiums to cover the payout where would the money come from? It would have to come from others without a preexisting condition – from huge premium increases for all. Also; if you knew you would be covered for a preexisting condition why would you buy insurance? You wouldn’t – you would wait until you’re sick and then buy insurance to pay the bills (that is currently called fraud – rightfully so). After your illness was cured why would you continue buying insurance – you wouldn’t. The only way covering preexisting conditions would be feasible is if every person were forced to buy ins. from cradle to grave. Now you know why the ins. cos. aren’t screaming against the current healthcare plans – it would be a bonanza for ins. cos.

    G) – There shall be NO add-ons, NO misdirected funding, No pork-barrel inclusions – NO gimmicks added to this plan.

    Supplemental possibility; Healthcare transition stimulus package to bridge the transition:
    There are 350,000,000 American citizens. There are between 135m and 140m employed people in the U.S.
    (We are going base this on a figure of 140m) 140,000,000 American workers. If each person were given $2,000 to open there own health account the total amount would be 280,000,000,000 (280 billion) – that’s too much.

    Assumption; the average income is $37k. 40% of the workers make over $60k. 40% of the workforce makes under $50k – Assumption; 5,600,000 workers make under $50k
    Assuming there are 5,600,000 American workers that make under $50k. If each person were given $2,000 to open there own health account the total amount would be 11,700,000,000 (11.7 billion) – that seems doable.

    Another idea; It is possible to give the 12,500,000 lowest paid workers $2,000 each for healthcare ins. – the total would be $25b. Can America afford that?
    If some sort of health accounts were established that required immediate funding we could give the 12.5m lowest wage earners $2,000 each to get them started. This would cost us $25b
    If health insurance premiums were drawn from healthcare accounts and if an individual health ins. Premium was a $200 per month “cost gap” the $2,000 would cover a 10 months cost gap.
    If 3% of wages were deducted from pay checks and the wage was $37k = $1,110 deducted per yr. – $92.50 mo.
    If $90mo. were paid the draw on health accounts would be $110mo. – The $2k health stimulus would last 18mo. If we could do this it would bridge the gap from the current payment procedures to the new plan.

    About Me

    I have been Republican and Conservative in all previous elections. Now with the performance of the Republicans during the last presidential term I feel they have lost their conservative principles. I now feel the need for a new perspective for Constitutional Independents.

    TOO BIG TO SURVIVE

    Recurrence to constitutional principles for effective government in a free society.

    The Federal Government is on an exponential growth path with alarming, dangerous potentials regardless of Constitutional restraints such as US Constitution Amendment X:

    “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

    To reestablish a principled Federal Government a Constitutional Federal Limit Amendment is needed:

    FEDERAL LIMIT AMENDMENT

    The total annual expenditures of the government of the United States shall not exceed a limit established at the time of ratification of this amendment except as may be authorized at any time for periods of up to twelve months by at least fifty one percent of the State Legislatures. After ratification of this amendment, all income of the Government of the United States in excess of the established limit shall be disbursed to the States on the basis of population or shall be used to reduce the national debt.

    BASIC EFFECTS

    Basic disciplines would be created by such an amendment;

    1. Control of the size and growth of the Federal Government through contitutional budgetary restraints.

    2. Debt reduction or dispersion of excess federal funds in a manner that is nationally equitable and not subject to federal political influence.

    3. Federal competition for available funds will cause program rejustification and the elimination of unnecessary functions.

    4. The Korean, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan wars would likely not have been authorized and funded with this amendment in effect.

    5. States rights and constitutional federalism would be reinforced.

    Freedom within limited government represents the most modern, vital concept of government yet known to man. American testing of this concept as defined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights represents a relatively limited evaluation in terms of longevity in society experiments. Today, we see the experiment changing to provide ever more limited liberties and exponentially expanding government. The history of the experiment, however, shows resultant evidence that must be considered and applied in further development of the original concepts. Hopefully, such development would gain a mass re-acceptance of freedom’s principles thereby returning all constitutional rights to the people and providing for a government that is constitutional, effective and responsive to the nation’s needs and restoring liberty to the individual, dignity to the legislature and purpose to the ballot box. This would be the goal of a Constitutional Independent voter.

    The Book “Too Big To Survive” details the critical need, benefits and effects of a Federal Limit Amendment. It also discusses problems with unconstitutional government and the current political parties and defines the role of a Constitutional Independent. It is available at LULU Publishing:

    I don’t know all the details of the various versions of the health care reform bill now making its way through congress. I do know that the U.S. health care system needs reform but I get the feeling that the reforms being proposed do not go far enough in the direction that will make the most impact on the health of the nation while keeping special interests out of the picture. We all know that the current health care system in the U.S. perpetuates escalating costs and diminishing effectiveness of care. It is costing more every year (going up 3 times faster than the rise in wages and other cost of living expenses), … Thus employers are making employees pay more for it,… and the health insurance are raising their premiums while restricting more and more of what they will cover.

    Here is what I have gathered about our situation:

    1. The U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world, at least twice that of most industrialized nations.

    2. You would think that, as a nation, we would be the healthiest country in the world at those prices. Whether you accept the W.H.O. rankings or not, by most accounts, U.S. health care is far from the top. We have a lower life expectancy than almost all industrialized nations. Can we say that this might imply that we are not getting our money’s worth out of the current system and that something is wrong here.

    3. More than 60% of U.S. bankruptcies are health related. The cost of the U.S. health care system has increased three times as fast as our salaries. If it continues to escalate as it has over the past years without reform, it will eventually bankrupt the country.

    4. There are 40+ million Americans who reported having no healthcare coverage in 2007. Critics say this number is inflated and may only be around 9 or 10 million. There are currently 15 million people without jobs and I would suspect most have no health coverage. The number is not the issue. In my opinion, the fact there are “millions” of people without healthcare in the U.S. today is a moral/ethical travesty. … … Here is the question: Do we consider health care a “right” of citizenship, like the right to vote or “free speech” or is it just another free market commodity to be bought and sold? Almost all industrialized democratic nations consider health care a “right.” It is just like the services we get from police and firemen. We all benefit equally from their life saving services. As a society, we have made a decision that we should all pay firemen and policemen to protect us from harm and the destruction of our property. If our house is burning down we know firemen will be there for us, whether we live in a mansion or a shack. Shouldn’t we think of doing the same thing with health care and protect everyone’s health?

    5. We are told that we have “freedom” within the current U.S. health care system, but we don’t. Insurance companies tell us what care we can or cannot receive and which doctors we can go to and which drugs they will let us have. In reality we have very limited choices within the current health care system. Anyone who has had a serious illness or knows someone who has had one understands the problems posed by the insurance companies getting in the way of the doctors and their treatment.

    6. Insurance companies are not in the business of “health care.” They are in the business of making money. They will deny any coverage they possible can short of a lawsuit to increase their bottom line. They are not interested in your or my health. …

    7. Waste in the system – Paperwork costs for doctors and hospitals to deal with all the different insurance companies is estimated at 1 for every 3 dollars spent. This is clerical waste that we all pay for. Doctors in the U.S. also over test and utilize additional procedures in order to protect themselves from possible lawsuits. The problem is that doctors often treat patients determined by what their insurance will pay for not from what they believe the patient really needs.

    8. People afraid of the cost of reforming health care and ideas such as a public option feel that they will have to pay more to cover individuals without health care coverage. In the current system, if someone shows up at a hospital emergency room for catastrophic care, and they don’t have “health insurance,” they will be treated and the cost of their treatment is passed on to you via higher hospital costs and higher health premiums on your insurance. We all pay for the uninsured one way or another. I might add that many who have none or insufficient health coverage will wait until medical problems are advanced or catastrophic. Catastrophic health care is the most expensive. People with good health care coverage tend to visit doctors regularly and get better preventative care which actually saves a lot of money in the long run. It makes financial sense to have good universal health coverage for all Americans.

    These are the important basic reforms I believe we need. They are all equally important and we need them all. The only congressional and senatorial compromise should be how and in what manner we implement them and pay for them.

    A. make good quality health care available to all U.S. citizens (no exceptions – everyone is covered)

    B. eliminate waste in the health system (many ways this can be done)

    C. control escalating cost through price control, caps, and encouraging more competition in the drug market, etc…

    D. create legal reform (as regarding malpractice lawsuits)

    E. make sure all decisions regarding health care, including choice of doctor, hospital, drugs, etc… are exclusive to doctor and patient (not in the hands of insurance companies or government)

    I have trouble imagining anyone who would not be in favor of these 5 points. We can’t afford not to do it.

    Thanks,

    Butch Taylor

Our currency must be managed by written contracts, won by qualified professionals, whom compete for these contracts on a regular basis. The performing of the contracts can be regulated by our G.A.O. and our Treasury Department with oversight from the White House. The process of bidding and selecting the contractors can be done by Congress.

    [Older: JFK - Bobby & Ron Paul - They all wanted to know the same things!]

    The “Sound of Music” – Dr. Ron Paul is telling the truth again. Today in congress he sang Doe Rae Me… End The Fed Now !

    September 14, 2009

    Ron Paul gave a short speech in congress today, it was 5 minutes of gut check honesty. Please everyone – anyone – watch that video.

    My take on Macro Economics is simple and clear – I’m as sick and weary from the distorted media propaganda as is Dr. Paul. He blasted the house today. My belief is that our top priority as a nation is to end corrupt ruling class thievry . Dr. Paul blasted wanna be rulers and theives with his speech…. End the fed now- end the corruption – save our nation. I agree too many pigs are in our congress and our treasury department and our contract to allow our currency to be managed by the families of the federal reserve bank has lasted too long. Fire self perpetuating termites that eat the whole house.

    Unless a free press and our national will rises up and takes action who can prevent the few from ruling?

    Wealthy families always believe they make and save politicians. Political families believe they protect and preserve wealthy families. Each think they are smarter than the other. They marry and collude and connive, yet both groups are multigenerational and unbelievably corrupt. These 24,000 families comprise a world wide ruling class… We can admit this to ourselves – it is not a new discovery.

    Form of government and mode differs from culture to culture, but all submit to this ruling class whom always abuse their weaker citizens. Middle and lower classes live in a different dimension – busyness, agendas, and regulations imposed by this ruling class keep us here… we citizens remain oblivious to what is planned or implemented by ruling class maniacs, owning control of our media and spinning it to propagandize and beat us by sound bites into oblivion. Only extreme events attract attention from a beaten down citizen. So beat um hard, take and blame, and lie and steal. What a recipe indeed.

    A few not so funny results come to my mind.

    Citigroup banking families in the USA and Rothschild banking families in Europe finance government regimes. They become the primary source of funds for the Nazi regime, helping it come into being. Politicians in the Nazi party had peculiar ideas about to paying their debts. They used other peoples money… and planned to take England and all of the Rothschild family assets….why pay the debt when you can rob, murder and plunder instead ?

    The IMF and Fed Reserve play a similar game. They take assets and resources. Ask Argentina how IMF families and related foreign investors have raped their country. Ask poor nations if IMF assisted inflation and currency has helped or wiped out their economy…. Ask world leaders who is gaining control of water and mineral rights, oil and gas, prime real estate, corporations, and who is buying US bonds to pay for military protection. Guess who benefits from the recent Tarp bailouts? Try google search: ” Tarp Map Bailout”. See How The East Stole The West – using sharp elbows and fear in September 2008, the collusion between our Treasury Department and our Fed. Reserve Banking Families looted our nation. – Trusting families that worship power and wealth to distribute power and wealth is insane. Can anyone be so blind as we 2009.

    HR 1207 Audit the fed., a start towards sanity.

    Trusting a Fed. bank or the IMF with wealth, is asking the fox to guard the hen house. Ron Paul has the integrity to do the right thing.

    It is too late for that and It will end with a division of our union, similar to the USSR.
    Peaceful civil disobediance similar to that of Ghandi in India, will end this long period of federal and economic oppression.
    Only the brave and the strong will survive. It will be liberty or it will be death.
    A new generation will take the federal government and the treasury department by election and selection.

Why the hell does a true intellectual like Ron Paul associate with these people? He himself has refuted these claims entirely.

    i dont know if you ever read these posts Dr. Ron Paul. but i feel obligated to at least try and show you my deep grattitude. My name is Nathaniel Murphy Fanning and ive just spent the past few minutes with tears in my eyes, watching your incredible honesty, knowledge, bravery, wisdom, and intellect. i sincerely hope that we can turn the tide of our previous obsudity as a nation into a way of life that is peaceful, meaningful, and rational for everyone on our planet. a true nation of greatness. i truely weep knowing that the answers are out there and are being ignored. it is unfair the way our voice as the american people is meaningless. it is unfair that you are propagated as a “crackpot” for your honesty and bravery. i have nearly lost hope that we can restore our country and all of its discustingly embarrasing blunders back to a nation of integrity.

    Hi Mr Ron Paul!

    Great work on the two (2) Bills to abolish the ‘privately owned’ (Not by American Patriots) Federal Reserve ‘black hole’. It would be wonderful to see a Bill to ENFORCE President Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110, was signed June 4, 1963 by President Kennedy, with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.

    With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the
    privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The
    Christian Common Law Institute has exhaustively researched this matter
    through the Federal Register and Library of Congress and can now safely
    conclude that this Executive Order has NEVER been repealed, amended, or
    superseded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid. 10 days later, he was murdered by them and others in high places for it.

    Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110, with the stroke of a pen, did in fact abolish the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, that the Federal Reserve Bank operates under. These murders, gangsters, and sociopaths that run this Federal Reserve Bank Ponzy scheme, of the likes that have never been seen in all of American History, should be punished for their crimes, among them murder and High Treason.

    Then and only then can we restore the power of ‘by the people, for the people’ back into the hands of true American Patriots, and take back control of our own great country, destiny, freedom, and economy. That was the vision and dream of this Great Nation’s founding fathers

    So far the Federal Reserve Bank REFUSES to tell anyone, including the President of the United States of America, where 14+ Trillion dollars has went, that the Federal Reserve Bank wants the American People to pay back to them, WITH INTEREST!

    God bless you Mr Paul!

    God bless America!

The U.S. free market vultures then attack the natural resources of these debtor nations. It then get ugly.. especially for the impoverished citizens of these countries.

    If you understand that cash-fat corporations and flagrantly obtuse pharmaceutical companies are corrupting politicians that should be representing the average person, you should know what to do. Fight back. Fight with pictures words that show you’re not ready to give in. Words that slap and sting and startle the people who would deprive you of your God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – and health.

      Yes, his honesty and truthfulness over time, even when it was not popular, scoffed at) is a testimony that not many can claim. Peter Schiff went through it too on the economy forecast, but we know now, he was right. They are to be respected to the highest degree!

    I think you should put a bill before Congress that makes it mandatory to be connected to a lie detector test when taking the oath to uphold the Constitution for all public servants! I don’t think this is too much to ask and any members of Congress that oppose it will be exposed! Sure, politicians lie but lying to uphold the Constitution is unacceptable and this should be a bill and should passed into law to make it mandatory to protect the American public and the Constitution! I’m sure all American would agree. I believe all existing public servants should have to retake their oath, under this law as well! Thank you!
