Great Post Gendo!

I wouldn't write off Huckabee though, or Romney. And I thought the YouTube clip was good. Compared to the utterly ridiculous Coalition advertisements I have seen, its a clear step up. As for the Dems, I wouldn't count out Obama or Edwards, especially if they decide to name each other running mates.

My predicition: Huckabee vs Edwards

Default Neocon Attack on Ron Paul: Greasing the Skids for Implementation of H.R.

Neocon Attack on Ron Paul: Greasing the Skids for Implementation of H.R.
1955?

November 15, 2007

It has all the hallmarks of a concerted effort—the corporate media, in particular Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, are attacking Ron Paul and the 9/11 truth movement at the very moment H.R. 1955, entitled the “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″ (although more accurately entitled the Thought Crime Bill) inches its way toward the Senate, having passed the House of Representatives, that is to say the house of corporate and neocon whores in the District of Criminals

I doubt Ron Paul will win but I do like the man - here, for having the courage to articulate what many seem intent on ignoring.

I like him too, but as Rudy puts the boots to him it simply highlights America's reluctance to be objective in relation to these complex issues. A lot of what Ron Paul says actually makes sense, everything except America inviting the 9/11 attacks. I disagree with him there.

It isn't that the US invited the attacks but it is correct to say that the US was not an innocent victim here - their previous actions provoked the attacks to some extent. The end result is, that the citizens who perished were the innocent victims but the strike was motivated in part by the mistakes of an arrogant US government.

Default SPECIAL REPORT: Turning The Police State Apparatus Against Dissenters

SPECIAL REPORT: Turning The Police State Apparatus Against Dissenters
Second major phase of the coordinated destruction of freedom in America targets those who refuse to go along with it

Steve Watson
Infowars.net
Friday, Nov 16, 2007


A sustained media propaganda campaign in support of the move to swing the apparatus of tyranny away from phantom Muslim terrorists and towards the American people is in full operation and may pave the way for further attacks on US soil to be blamed on dissenting Americans who speak out against the war and the rise of the domestic police state.

Over the past decade we have witnessed an extreme acceleration of the physical implementation of a framework and infrastructure ready to receive those who will not go along with a coordinated destruction of traditional American values and freedom. With 9/11 came the first opportunity of the 21st century to radically alter the mentality of America and introduce a new order of society.

The corporate media is now preparing the psyche of the American public for a second major shift. This time the effort will be to direct the understanding of the manufactured and fraudulent "war on terror", away from "Islamofascists" and "Al Qaeda" and towards dissenting American citizens.

Over the past month or so we have highlighted this ongoing propaganda campaign in the following articles:

Complaints Flood CNN After Beck Smears Ron Paul Supporters As Terrorists

Neocon Attack on Ron Paul: Greasing the Skids for Implementation of H.R. 1955?

Framing The Truth Movement As Terrorists

Beck: 9/11 Truthers "Insane", "Dangerous Anarchists", "The Kind Of Group A Timothy McVeigh Would Come From"

Pitching For More Dead Americans: A Neo-Con Fetish

Establishment "news" hacks such as Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh are raising the same talking point ad infinitum, dubbing the global truth movement, along with the anti-war movement, as "anarchists" and violent individuals who are aiding terrorists.

In the event of another attack on US soil, an army of Neo-Cons secretly sharing the same fetish, would revel in exploiting a hollow opportunity to say "we told you so," even at the expense of thousands of dead dads, moms, sons, daughters and babies.

"But these are just the mindless frothings of talking heads looking for ratings" some might say. When you take them in context with the ongoing actions of the government, however, a clearer more deadly picture emerges.
