Site Status, Ron Paul, Newsmax + ?
11 year ago
Welcome to all patriots and thank you for stopping by to grab an update. The site has had an issue the last week of whenever a new post is entered the formatting changes, taking the right column to the bottom of the main column while retaining the right column white space. Any WordPress folks have suggestions, offering help, all is appreciated. Anyway, knowing this fact I have held off posting but have no time to fix and too much going on so heck with format, the info is what is important. If things look strange from this point on, no problem, just get the information
I received a email from Ron Paul earlier today stating that he would no longer actively campaign in states that have not yet voted. Examples that come to mind are Texas (I think a few folks already know him) and California. These states are massive and it would cost way more money on hand to compete. As a true fiscal conservative Ron Paul uses his resources to the best of ability and when the resources are used you quit spending. Much better than the old Gingrich campaign that spent beyond it’s means and ended up bouncing $500 checks and had to work out a pay for endorsement pledge with Romney to cover overdrawn and outstanding expenses.
Really discussed at the MSM POS people who did not broadcast Ron Paul crowds of 3,000 to 9,000+ as if he had vanished from the planet to now report he really does exist and is dropping out. Along with all the MSM jokes is Newsmax, self proclaiming to be independent. Anyone that has spent 5 minutes looking into Newsmax knows their background is anything but independent news reporting. The last title seem from them was:
Hmm, did this POS reporting come from Faux or CNN? Hard to tell where they did the investigative journalism research. My humble guess is somewhere between the bathroom and TV remote control?
In closing please let me say that in fact Ron Paul is still in the GOP race, despite all the violation of GOP chairs against their own party rules. A smart person would have gone to higher pasture. A smart dedicated patriot would have endured the BS to fight the good fight, and that is what we are seeing. As professed, the R3volution will not be broadcast, but that statement references the MSM (Lame Stream Media) but will be alive and well on sites such as UStream and many others. If you have a remote control for your TV in one hand and a community size box of Twinkies close to your other hand, you might need to WTFU! Last I checked, Twinkies are not on the “re-education” camp menus.
Parting thoughts, Ron Paul’s message is stronger than the wonderful messenger. It’s the message that gathers and drives us, with admiration for the messenger. 2012 is a target but not a goal or end game. Now is the time for those of you doing lip service to freedom, reading about our Republic, now is the time to stand up and make your voices heard, from statehouse to courthouse. Let Freedom ring, as now is the time to raise the bar a notch. Do you buy groceries, gas, etc.? Then you can take a second standing in line to wake another sleeping soul to the cause of Liberty. You choose, and despite you pulpit and TV driven thought process, this has nothing to do with left verses right. The battle at hand is collectivism verses individualism, as simple as that may seem most do not comprehend. Do you exist as an individual, having inalienable rights or does every right, or privilege (as you may not know the difference) come as a member of a collective group? Collectivism is on both sides, which is why most are pissed off at both main parties. Same puppet masters, no matter the puppet. No matter how you vote, I hope you choose principles over party. I will vote or what is best for me, my family and loved ones and best for my country.
Be well and continue the Freedom fight!
In Liberty,

G. Edward Griffin: The Collectivist Conspiracy
01 year ago
Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=491oLafEkQQ&feature=player_embedded
In this exclusive 80 minute video interview, legendary conspiracy author G. Edward Griffin explains how his research, which spans no less than 5 decades, has revealed a banking elite obsessed with enforcing a world government under a collectivist model that will crush individualism and eventually institute martial law as a response to the inevitable backlash that will be generated as a result of a fundamental re-shaping of society.
Griffin discusses the similarities between the extreme left and the extreme right in the false political paradigm and how this highlights a recurring theme – collectivism. Collectivism is the opposite of individualism and believes that the interests of the individual must be sacrificed for the greater good of the greater number, explains Griffin, uniting the doctrines of communism and fascism. Both the Republican and Democrat parties in the United States are committed to advancing collectivism and this is why the same policies are followed no matter who is voted in to the White House.

Welcome To Rome, Albeit The Sequel
0There are occasions that I like to look back at and share information that is basic and that I normally assume to be in the general knowledge. Sadly, I am reminded often through posts read and conversations that this is not the case. Life evolves in a circular fashion. and this is only visible if one can see the past to see the patterns.
Once again we see the potential for history to repeat. Nothing is a given as long as we have an opportunity to divert the natural flow of progress from one stage to the next. Consider what you see and know today, reflect back to earlier eras, then make educated decisions on that basis. Simplicity is the core, while confusion, distraction and division are the goals of the governmental controlled main stream media.
To my knowledge one Constitution was written by or founding fathers. Not a right verses left version, white verses black version or even a this religion verses that religion version.
We The People should appreciate our differences as that is what makes us all unique and focus on the similarities. That is a We The People focus that will join masses to collaborate forces for good verses focusing on differences to only alienate and divide us as a people.
Back to basics, the building blocks of knowledge needed to focus. Without knowledge of were we are, were we should be, the direction we are going and the potential of were we could most likely end up, how do we determine what action is needed?

Obama: Limited Gov’t That Preserves Free Markets ‘Doesn’t Work. It Has Never Worked’
01 year ago
Source: http://cnsnews.com
(CNSNews.com) – In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets “speaks to our rugged individualism” as Americans, such a system “doesn’t work” and “has never worked” and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class.
“‘[T]here is a certain crowd in Washington who, for the last few decades, have said, let’s respond to this economic challenge with the same old tune. ‘The market will take care of everything,’ they tell us,” said Obama. “If we just cut more regulations and cut more taxes–especially for the wealthy–our economy will grow stronger.
“Sure, they say, there will be winners and losers,” Obama continued. ”But if the winners do really well, then jobs and prosperity will eventually trickle down to everybody else. And, they argue, even if prosperity doesn’t trickle down, well, that’s the price of liberty.
“Now, it’s a simple theory,” said Obama. ”And we have to admit, it’s one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. That’s in America’s DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. But here’s the problem: It doesn’t work. It has never worked.
“It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression,” said Obama. ”It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s. And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. I mean, understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory.
“Remember in those years, in 2001 and 2003, Congress passed two of the most expensive tax cuts for the wealthy in history,” said Obama. ”And what did it get us? The slowest job growth in half a century. Massive deficits that have made it much harder to pay for the investments that built this country and provided the basic security that helped millions of Americans reach and stay in the middle class==things like education and infrastructure, science and technology, Medicare and Social Security.
“Remember that in those same years, thanks to some of the same folks who are now running Congress, we had weak regulation, we had little oversight, and what did it get us?” said Obama. ”Insurance companies that jacked up people’s premiums with impunity and denied care to patients who were sick, mortgage lenders that tricked families into buying homes they couldn’t afford, a financial sector where irresponsibility and lack of basic oversight nearly destroyed our entire economy.
“We simply cannot return to this brand of ‘you’re on your own’ economics if we’re serious about rebuilding the middle class in this country,” said Obama.

[CIM Comment: I won't waste my time ranting about this Socialism loving scum bag, as the people pulling this puppets stings need to be cast into the light as well. With the well announced, repeatedly, plan they have for taking this country down, is this not the right time to make a challenge with the only Champion of the Constitution? We have a choice, follow the staus quo of Obama or the "Liberal Right" such as Romney and Gingrich and become another fallen empire in the history books, or turn this countries direction and fate around by supporting the Constitution and supporting Ron Paul. Your choice, serfdom and servitude or individual freedom and peace. Which will serve the next generation a better life? Time to think and decide.]

The Creed of Freedom – G. Edward Griffin
11 year ago
THE CREED OF FREEDOM
INTRINSIC NATURE OF RIGHTS I believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; that these rights are intrinsic to each individual, not granted by the state; for if the state has the power to grant them, it also has the power to deny them, and that is incompatible with personal liberty. I believe that a just state derives its power solely from its citizens. Therefore, the state must never presume to do anything beyond what individual citizens also have the right to do. Otherwise, the state is a power unto itself and becomes the master instead of the servant of society.
SUPREMACY OF THE INDIVIDUAL I believe that one of the greatest threats to freedom is to allow any group, no matter its numeric superiority, to deny the rights of the minority; and that one of the primary functions of a just state is to protect each individual from the greed and passion of the majority.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE I believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law. I believe that social tranquility and brotherhood are better achieved by tolerance, persuasion, and the power of good example than by coercion of law. I believe that those in need are better served by charity, which is the giving of one’s own money, than by welfare, which is the giving of other people’s money through coercion of law.
EQUALITY UNDER LAW I believe that all citizens should be equal under law, regardless of their national origin, race, religion, gender, education, economic status, life style, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment, regardless of the merit or popularity of its cause. To favor one class over another is not equality under law.
PROPER ROLE OF THE STATE I believe that the proper role of the state is negative, not positive; defensive, not aggressive. It is to protect, not to provide; for if the state is granted the power to provide for some, it must also be able to take from others, and that always leads to legalized plunder and loss of freedom. If the state is powerful enough to give us everything we want, it also will be powerful enough to take from us everything we have. Therefore, the proper function of the state is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens, nothing more. That state is best which governs least.
——————————————————————————–
THE THREE COMMANDMENTS OF FREEDOM
The Creed of Freedom is based on five principles. However, in day-to-day application, they can be reduced to just three codes of conduct. These are The Three Commandments of Freedom:
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
Only individuals have rights, not groups. Therefore, do not sacrifice the rights of any individual or minority for the alleged rights of groups.
EQUALITY UNDER LAW
To favor one class of citizens over others is not equality under law. Therefore, do not endorse any law that does not apply to all citizens equally.
FREEDOM OF CHOICE
The proper function of the state is to protect, not to provide. Therefore, do not approve coercion for any purpose except to protect human life, liberty, or property.
This is a work in progess, a self learning tool and fun little project. Please excuse the slow development as it seems the needed proper time is always lacking. It is my hope that the combination of content and links to other sources of information in this simple blog may help awaken a few of the sleeping masses and encourage and inspire others to initiate their own research, ultimately for each person to be a light to help awaken others. Opinions expressed belong to me, myself and I. Also, a big thank you to all that take the time to visit, it is appreciated :)
