Republicans Rage as the Great Burning Arrives

By Staff Report
25

Republicans descend into civil war as Tea Party movement vows to drive party further to the right ... The Republican Party was last night descending into a civil war over control of its political future, as recriminations raged about its failure to oust Barack Obama and take control of the US Senate. Some conservatives warned colleagues that they risked annihilation by refusing to change and appeal to the women, younger and ethnically-diverse voters who had stood by Barack Obama since 2008. Yet many supporters of the Tea Party movement – whose agenda was rebuked across the US – claimed Mitt Romney had actually not been conservative enough, vowing to drive the party further to the Right. – UK Telegraph

Dominant Social Theme: Republicans are out of touch. Democrats are not. The Tea Party is dead.

Free-Market Analysis: Post-election, the US Republican Party will go about the business of tearing itself to pieces, as well it should. As observers of directed history here at the Daily Bell, watching the past ten years of politics presented via the prism of what we call the Internet Reformation has been instructive indeed.

There IS no real (legitimate) Republican Party left, from what we can tell. Before the violent and thuggish deconstruction of the libertarian Ron Paul Revolution, Ron Paul was on his way to taking over the Party. We watched it happen.

Crowds were growing, delegates were falling into line. Ron Paul was attracting bigger and bigger audiences. The powers-that-be had tried everything – ignoring him, ridiculing him ... even controlling the "movement" by placing "handlers" around him surreptitiously.

Finally, as none of it truly worked, the top GOP began to use violence and outright fraud. Ron Paul delegates were intimidated, beaten up and banned. Rules were changed, votes were ignored and the election, which was trending toward Paul, went to Romney.

It is important to assert these things because the stealing of an election has already gone down the memory hole. Of course, in this analysis, we should offer a further reality: Ron Paul is not insane. He likely didn't ever intend to win and sabotaged his own campaign in evident and obvious ways.

But we don't begrudge him that. He intended to educate and succeeded beyond anything he'd ever imagined. He succeeded because in the US – in the West in general – there's a great craving for freedom and economic literacy. This craving, nurtured by Paul's financial literacy, has been inordinately strengthened by his four-year historical and economic lecture tour.

Millions have been exposed to the brilliant, clarified concepts of human action and have come to understand the corrosive effects of the modern central bank business cycle. This knowledge will continue to percolate. It runs like acid through the fragile facade of illiteracy and socialist lies that the power elite constructed over centuries to try to obscure the truth about human relations.

As the veil shrivels and smokes, one cannot look away. Once one begins to understand the truth about how the world works, there is no going back. The shock to the system is profound. It tends to take over one's life. The idea that every nook and cranny of one's consciousness has been controlled and "directed" is an overwhelming concept.

People who come to such conclusions find their lives have changed. It is physically and mentally impossible to ignore it. And it is difficult not to proselytize because the reality is so profound.

For the mainstream media already it is as if the Ron Paul candidacy, which shook the establishment from top to bottom, never existed. But ignoring the candidacy and its violent repression is a bit like trying to ignore the aftermath of an earthquake. The ruin is all around you and trying to pretend it is not there won't make it go away. The political landscape in our view has changed irredeemably, as we long ago believed it would.

We have tended to believe that William Clinton's presidency was the first Internet presidency and that George Bush's was the second. After that, we used to write, we didn't know what would happen to the faux-political consensus because the Internet itself, acting like a huge magnifying glass, would have presented the truth about US politics to an increasingly alienated electorate.

What would have become clear is that the "directed" view of history is the correct one: The power elite controls monopoly central banking and has used its unfathomable capital flows to reshape society toward globalism.

Agents have apparently been planted at the top of every facility that matters, from the military to universities, to the media, to think tanks, to political parties and legislatures. With just a few powerful people placed at the proper places, the elites successfully manipulate conversation and steer the world toward the internationalism they prefer.

Society is controlled by intimidation, censorship and fear. Ever expanding spy technology wielded by invasive and growing Intel agencies is the methodology of choice. Of course, you can never have too much control, or too much economic ruin, or too many wars.

The elites cannot rest. They have been exposed by the Internet just as the Gutenberg press exposed the power elite of the day 600 years ago. Counterattacks have been mounted in the past decade, and especially recently. False flags abound now and even apparently neo-Fabian economics have been trotted out – perhaps to blunt the freedom movement and distract people from larger truths about free-market thinking.

But given the choice, people will usually opt for more freedom, not less. More personal control and less statism. And as it is economically impossible to bribe all of the people all of the time, the freedom movement will continue to grow. Once people "get it," the insights become part of their psychological fabric. They grow around it, and it reshapes their lives.

This has happened to an entire generation of young people thanks to the Internet and Ron Paul's relentless proselytizing. This is the reason that the Republican Party faces a civil war – one that authoritarianism likely cannot win.

The reality will continue to resonate; the reshaping not just of people's lives but of society will continue and expand and the Internet Reformation itself will evolve in powerful directions. There is nothing more unstoppable than an idea whose time has come. It will overwhelm literally trillions of dollars put in place to stop it and every false flag that is placed in its way.

Always a certain number of people are unable to lie to themselves and unwilling to live according to the lies of society. It is this group of people – the change makers – that the elites fear the most. They doubtless know from their psychological modeling that such individuals are unable to control the ramifications of their own insights and are inevitably proselytizers for the realities they have discovered.

It is an ineluctable process, and one that is not voluntary. It proceeds with the relentlessness of water running downhill. The only solution, then, is ruthless culling, apparently, and to say it hasn't occurred to the elites would be to offer up a Pollyannaish perspective.

In fact, this latest US election has not solidified a renewed "leveling" consensus in that great and "exceptional" country. It has merely clarified the divide and calcified certain manipulative realities.

Obama is once again president – president thanks to an elite manipulation that offers up only choices palatable to the establishment. But these days there IS an alternative – the consciousness of which is likely percolating up through the masses' "hive mind."

Conclusion: It is in our estimation fairly unstoppable. And it presages a great deal more turmoil and change – financially, politically and socially – before it burns itself out.

I LOVED this article so much that I referred to it on my blog as "My World, described" Click to view link and then just linked to the article with no further ado.

I'm only really getting started on blogging, but let The Daily Bell know: you are a major source of inspiration. Thanks so much for what you do. I even like the Swiss connection, having a Swiss experience in my background.

Mitt Romney was the best candidate the GOP has fielded since Reagan.

The loss was due to handouts and young women who want their abortions and the day after pill.Blacks want more free stuff, and the Latinos want amnesty.

Plus, the election was so corrupt, that I am certain Romney actually won.

Four more years of Obama? God must have a plan that isn't currently known!

"The Presidency" is an illusion, an "elected" sop to the slaves, a "leader" for those who require leading. Obama is nothing but an installed figurehead, likely CIA. The sooner people get this through their heads the better. Some never will, some can't be unplugged from the MSM matrix. Great article.

Will the monsters who control our lives gather enough data on us to do us in before critical mass is reached? Will those pathetic enablers in the military and police wake up to their complicity in the evil in time? You are correct about agents everywhere.

I first became aware of this when attending local school board meetings. The district crats and "business leaders" had the Delphi process down to a science. The regular folks (property owners, taxpayers and parents) had no idea what was being done to them and their kids as the crats sniggered at them. The mask was off (I had moved to the "wrong side of the tracks") and I couldn't start homeschooling fast enough, best decision of my life.

In Mitt Romney's crushing defeat at the hands of President Obama, it appears the Republican Party's chickens may finally have come home to roost. Instead of welcoming the passion and dedication of the Ron Paul movement, the party chose to alienate an entire generation of young Republicans, scorning the sensible message of limited government and non-interventionist foreign policy.
As Republicans nationwide prepare themselves for four more years of President Obama, they would do well to ask themselves what they might have done differently. One can only wonder whether the party will learn the lessons of 2012 in time for the election of 2016

No, if our paradigm proves out, you will see increasingly overt linkages between Money Power and the GOP. And it will also be evident that maintaining control over the GOP dialogue is a lot more important to the powers-that-be than offering up a winning, free-market message ....

DB They may have stopped him from becoming president but he is still speaking publicly, still teaching, opening eyes Daily, as at The Bell. He says now that that was his purpose all along. I had never heard of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, or Lew Rockwell, or The Daily Bell, and I never would have without Ron Paul's runs for president. Even if I had I would have dismissed them, and you, as anti-American fools. I am sure that the same is true for thousands if not millions of others. No, they did not stop him any more than they have stopped you, or me. At least not yet.

Hi expatriot

Yes far fewer people knew about the CFR in the past. The same is true of most things since the dawn of the internet. They have published a quartly for decades. As a teen-age neocon I occasionally bought one and was astounded every time. People being uninterested in what you do because they do not understand how profoundly it effects their lives is not being secretive.

As far as the PTB not stopping RP goes, that also seems obvious to me. They want dissent. They want it very badly. They can taste the blood, and they don't want just a few.

Leave the Untied States (typo intentional). Expatriate and do it soon.

The US State Department admits that renunciation of US citizenship (stepping out of the category of "human resource" status) has risen over 600% just in the last three years... ...

... ... and that does NOT include all the hundreds of thousands of people who have just moved to other friendly countries and obtained temp. or permanent residency, and probably will not ever come back to the US.

The smart savvy folks are leaving the US, just like the smart people have taken themselves to safety throughout history... they see the structure of government coming DOWN and they get themselves out of the path of the speeding freight train.

I have 43 acres in Central America... where there are few restrictions on living as a free soul... no cameras monitoring you, no prohibitions on alternative medicine, no zoning, no "home-owners associations", almost no taxes compared to the US, NO taxes on any income from outside the country...

I want some liked-minded people to throw their lot in with me... the opportunities abound and with people pulling together ... . well a lot gets accomplished.

Hmmm... still don't see part 2 (will see about that later, got to run soon)... but on your comment on my comment on someone elses comment :

No clear idea about the Mise Keynes axis, nor do I "believe" that the "truth movement" is an out and out false flag : not intentionally anyway... although suspect parts of it at least plays into this sort of thing (if for not other reason that creating the contention which open the divide and conquer roads to "taking all")... . and if I throw a bit of seeming mud Ron Paul's way it is because indeed he is close to the only "leader" out there who really seems to both be thinking and saying what he thinks... . rather than falling into party lines and rhetoric. But indeed doubt is a necessary tool these days as "truth" is a much veneered and varnished over surface far from it's absolute values for human kind... the long and short truth is simple : we do not really know. The truth is indeed with in us ... but "knowing thy self" seems a simple idea, but is not at all obvious to do. It is rather difficult to cut through our own complex perversities and beliefs so far as to start to really understand those which may exist in others... Indeed I feel that Ron Paul was about as close to telling the truth as he safely could be... however, he also towed the line that 9/11 was what it was cracked up to be by the media rather than question that part of the truth movement suggesting "inside job". Something which at first made people chill with sarcastic "oh yeah right : we attacked ourselves : yeah yeah sure... . get a life bub... " But indeed when push comes to shove... the heart of "the inside" is a foreign and or elite owned private bank whose interests are geopolitical nut crunching at any price so "inside" is out and outside of that loop are the people...

One way or another... . I do hear the people here clamoring for a grass root town by town, county by county, state by state libertarian movement and hope this can happen as indeed again, the real source of wealth is not the banks, but the people and their action; Banks are simply temples (seats of power) of grafting the people's wealth into a mystic form of commerce called money which can be controlled by control freaks... "the rule of law... not the rule of the jungle... " as poppa George Bush put into his 9/11 pro NWO prayer 11 years to the hours before the famous 9/11 event... Yes George, but whose law!!

In short, I suspect the truth movement has it's weeds, planted or natural, as I suspect that many who oppose the truth movement simply do so because they really believe the towed line... and one way or another... . all though Ron Paul has certainly built a movement (which by the way I see as a political alternative based stance on the basic intent of our constitution : not as "the truth movement"), it is no less suspect that he didn't play the 3rd party card after being ousted by the Republican party even when he obviously had the winning edge...

Yet Ron Paul is also perceived by those who have not really listened to him as a fruitcake racist extreme right wing dangerous fool (my wife who is a staunch French socialist think Ron Paul is the american version of LePen : something I do not agree at all with)... and doubtlessly somebody is out there selling that idea too...

In short, one of the great problems with truth is belief... . as indeed facts and threads of events connecting these facts are deep dark well hidden when they are born of greed... some floats up, others sing to the bottom... and the more power we permit in few hands, the more we will see how dark and dank facts become...

An honest open society will require an honest open humanity... how close are we to that?! Indeed, again the word nobility as a human basic, not as a human over lord, is the question.

All over the US, the followers of Ron Paul await the 2013 Republican county, and congressional district conventions. I live in North Carolina, which is not Ron Paul territory, and people are joining the liberty oriented facebook page for this congressional district, like there is no tomorrow.

I do not believe that enough neocons will show up at the conventions, to stop the libertarians from taking over the vast majority of these local meetings. These local conventions select the delegates for the state conventions, and the states select delegates for the national. I predict that the majority of delegates, at the state, and national, will be Ron Paul people. I hope the Neocons try to shut us down, because I will enjoy seeing them crushed. After watching Ron Paul being cheated out of being nominated at the national convention, we are hopping mad, and ready for a fight.

The Republicans had a winner, in Ron Paul. Looking at the support he had, among independents, and considering the fact that the media would have had to have covered him, if he had won the nomination, he'd have been a shoo in. On the other hand, it's a good thing that Obama will preside over the collapse of the PetroDollar, otherwise, free market economics would be blamed.

Yo taxesbyanyothername @ bobby7 ...

You may be right about the "natural causes" in event of success... . but then if indeed RP's rap was so dangerous... . why indeed have these "natural causes" waited until he's made as big a noise as he has? My question is thus why hasn't RP had a sudden surprise ending yet if he is such a threat?

Indeed leading me to wonder if the truth movement's movements are not also part of the general scam : in RP case to show : indeed prove that truth, wisdom and liberty are not desired by the people. Deep down power thrives off of it's source : which is the people who in fact create wealth ; so for the elite to work their plans, they must fool the people into choosing their own demise! Part of that is to reject what they should want, and want what they should reject!

As for the CFR... right, anyone can now see they exist (although what goes on in there is not always so obvious)... . but 20 years ago when one spoke of the CFR or the Trilateral Commission... people were not only ignorant but refused to believe such things existed. Indeed secrecy is effected by controlling media, education, food and drugs, the mafia (distribution of pleasure drugs)... and maybe e-games through hollywood... . all part of the dumb down the sheeple scam.

Meanwhile... Just wrote a 2 part response to this general topic... but it didn't appear... yet.

Hmmm... indeed I used a few tawdry words : but certainly not out of loss of better words!

Well... will see. Cheers all.

Reply from The Daily Bell

It is so simple. If you believe the truth movement is actually a false flag then you likely have to agree that human action and the Misesian business cycle were also a false flag.

First cent (part 1)

Two more cents... A nearby American friend here in Paris is a blues harpist, slide guitarist and singer from Denver. He is partly indian, part french, all American born : through and thru... He makes a modest living working about 3 hours per day playing his own songs, Dylan, and mostly blues in the Paris metro... with that he supports a very nice little sublet studio apartment, pays his rent at the P.O. and has money for food, beer and what ever : a regular guy... a little wild, but "cool".

Dang good blues harpist too : slide, Dobro, the works... He owns a nice little mac book too... but has no internet service in his own flat (hard to do with cash only : the guy does not have a bank account! Frankly I admire that ! Easy to say, but hard to do : really hard ! )... so he passes my my place about one every 2 weeks or so to check his e-mail... but obviously does not have the benefit of what the DB calls the "internet reformation" (revolution?!). He not a net surfer...

As he is my only near by American friend, I went by to see him yesterday in the wake of the election...

He is only vaguely aware of Ron Paul (indeed the word "Republican is distasteful in his ears ) ... so no, RP is not generally a topic because well... indeed he is slave to the media, thus toes lines : left ones... was pleased about Holland... is pleased by BO winning.

Indeed it is interesting, he told me how when he went back to Colorado from Paris during the first "Dubya" years... poo pooing "the president" was like a suspected act of terror : locals would snap back about how 'they didn't want no damned terrorist's at their door' (as if the statistical probability of getting killed by terror had suddenly gone ape poo higher than getting hit by lightning... staticially far more likely to happen... . or getting killed in a car... way far more likely... . or getting killed by the FDA approved supermarket food you eat in the form of cancer, heart attack, etc : which takes the cake in likelyhood these days for high risk)

By those days Europeans already hated Bush... so he was surprised to find those who felt "Nixonesque" about "Dubya" had to speak in hushed whispers with a tinge of paranoid shame... back home in Denver... and we are talking about a guy (call him "Mr. Blue") who'd be seeing this as one of the club musicians who gets deep into the crust of basic bar language : blue collar mind set, as one of their respected (deservingly so) artists! No less, it is a caste (no matter how you spell it).

So Mr Blue's take here in Paris was that when Bush was in office, people here sort of groaned when they found he was American : gave off bad vibes of "how dare you be American"... . and indeed, I remember that to be so too...

In his mind Republicans start wars... he somehow omits FDR or LBJ from memory... indeed LBJ's false flag ship captained by Jim Morrison's father ignited Vietnam... and Nixon ended it... after bombing the heck out of Cambodia... which in terms of war made very good sense since indeed Pol Po had his army ducking in and out of Cambodia to rile up the invaders (the US)...

What made no sense was the war it's self... they never do... but fighting them is very logic based. Ethics of course, need be respected during war as when one has a free for all state run mass murder in progress, following the rules makes it ok!

Now the "super s--t bag" president stigma Bush Jr achieved to such a glorious effect was somehow reversed by Obama (with out reversing much else "Dubya" did)... B.O. is a mixed man president : a little of everything in that guy. Indeed now days people seem surprised when one really cuts into the Obama question. Obama seems to be Mr Nice guy himself; because indeed he plays Mr Nice guy really well : like a hypnotist, a trained type cast actor... a sort of Christian, Moslem pro Zionist, somewhat african. As such not "personality cult type cast into the ultra-white "sun never sets" empire power sterio types. Yet following exactly this same pipe line : knocking at the socialist solution dictating "the solution" from the helm!

Indeed, Bush expressed how "it would be a hell of a lot easier if I were a dictator" and set up the executive office to have more lopsided power than ever before. Spent more money (not exactly conservative republican values that) than any president before. Until Obama... who ran with the higher powers on to exercise them : openly calling at least 2 suspects shot and killed. With no court proceedings! This showed us that indeed the President no longer "presides" but indeed dictates! Don't bother giving a fair trial. Shoot & gloat! And hey baby! People lapped it up ! BO the boogieman killer! Yeah yeah yeah!

So Mr. Blue, all hopped up on Obama's acceptance speech, which at that point I had yet to see, saying "You'll see man... now Obama can do his thing... he has 4 years and doesn't have to worry about winning elections anymore... "

So, I went home and watched the speech online. Hey ho! Obama is really very good at what he does, no doubt about that! The doubt lies (brief pause to forgive the notion : "lies") in the question "What is BO really doing?" If not in "Who the heck is this guy really? Is he really who he says he is!?" And indeed to not be really sure because the doubt is pasted at many angles on the internet... well! In the words of Gomer Pyle "Sur-prise sur-prise!" Wouldn't it be interesting if were ever absolutely confirmed that the guy is not American born! And no less a puppet of the CFR and the Fed and so on... indeed an admit NWO boy.

Does it make a difference? Well as far as how and why BO governs... maybe, maybe not... but that is not the issue... the issue is the constitution... and thus : has it been respected if we've let a wolf into grandma's house?!

Indeed... poor wolf has suffered racial slurs about world wolfdom... . wolfism. Oh no! Golly gosh! Jail grandma! She is a capitalist proprietaire locking nature it's self out of her property! Insulting the very nature of wolves who by rights of the proletariat he always is, owns the forest communally with all hungry natured beasts while nasty old grandma (humanity) has built a house against to keep out, thus starve the poor wolf !

Indeed that is delirium drawn out of this topsy turvy fairytail... but via the hum drumming of the media... the huff and puff of the CIA (which like the Fed, is one big bad dream of ugly secrets), the left blah blah deafening the right blah blah... the stuffed shirts of prethink party loyalty... each in effect side, spurting out exactly what people must take sides about... make sure everyone is divided, with their pants down wacking each other for all practical purposes (except sex : which is taboo : Violence however is advised)... over who is gay, who is aborting, women rights rather than human rights or liberty... and so on... . programs! "Give me programs or give me death!" Roll over Patrick Henry, dig those rhythms red whites and blues.

The fact I was very non plus'd up by BO's great victory annoyed my friend Mr. Blue (although I would have felt the same non plus way about Romney ... only with slightly more surprise.)...

Later seeing this morality boosting speech, was disgusted at the empiristic superbowl like performance with (knowing an undercurrent of Ron Paulesque or DBesque thought) the seemingly empty pep talk over hope and how wonderful Americans really are (he has not looked at the sky rocket costs comparing to the rather modestly piss poor scholastic results in the world... The USA spends most, and perform rather unspectacularly in compare with most other countries in spite of that... ).

Mr Nice Guy the friendly centralised all powerful government who will solve all your problems... give you telephones... and programs... mountains of programs...

We think the people actually voted for the clown and chief. He knew before the election that he was going to "win" again. Why was he so sure? Does he have a crystal ball or can he see the future by some special means?? Or is our voting privileges an illusion? Are we really in control? OR are we being played by a bunch of masterful players? Nobody really knows anything beyond their little circle of life.. You can't even trust the news anymore. Its so full of propaganda and lies..

@Bobby7

The CFR isn't that secretive. They don't have to be, since most of the people paying attention are on the inside; and most other Americans have been brainwashed to think that their agenda is normal.

If Ron Paul had somehow miraculously been elected he would have been thwarted at every turn. That is, until he died of decidedly artificial "natural causes". His presidency would have been turned into another false argument for the failure of free markets. Surely he knows this.

  Posted by philitarian on 11/08/12 05:38 PM

I constantly hear how Ron Paul was "too far out" or "too radical", which only makes sense for Breibart Republicans (Breibartism?) that see 100+ military/intel bases around the world, endless money printing, and growing domestic repression as "normal".

Nah nevermind. They don't see those things at all. All I see is them huffing and puffing over Obama "the Communist/Marxist", despite the fact they really have no clue what communism, socialism, or any -ism actually means, or how deeply screwed the American people are. This also goes for liberals/other statists equally in their confusion seeing objective reality.

Alas, most people are low information voters. Just give them the conclusion ("Obama is taking your guns" or "The rich must pay their fair share") and the mob riots itself.

The Repubican party is in tatters. Their confused and mis-directed anger is sad and will probably end up radicalizing the Republicans in the wrong direction, although I wishfully think a Paulian sect will also rise from the ashes. Time will tell.

The great relignment is proceeding. There are a great many libertarian Democrats and Republicans. As this group begins to discover its similarities, a mass of tens of millions voters will begin to share common, freedom-oriented characteristics. This was the coalition Ron Paul was beginning to build and this is the REAL reason he frightened so many ...

  Posted by Darryl on 11/08/12 04:57 PM

I hate to disagree with you, wait, no I don't because you don't know what you are talking about. The Republican Party is alive and well. The reason Romney lost was because Santa Obama gave away the store to every group he could find to put toys and candy in front of them including free cell phones.

Your balley-hooing for Ron Paul is darn right humorous. Yes, he is a Constitutionalist and that's good. But he was so far out on many issues that he became a joke. Not by the elites or some fuming underground group of no goodnicks, but by the people. His statements on foreign policy were out of right field, or maybe left field!The college students were his ardent disciples, but they have such mushy brains from listening to professors that it is understandable why they would adore someone who is equally as nutty as their professors.

In place of trying to analyze the politics of the USA and her people, why not try to determine the essential elements of Europe's problems that require solving before attempting to criticize the United States of America.

To All Republicans

There was One Candidate for President who has shown by his example, by his past record who he truly is: A Christian who does not brag about it, instead he walks the walk every day of his life practicing the Golden Rule; A family man who has been married to the same woman for 55 years; The Patriarch of a family who are salt of the earth Americana at it's very best; A true Constitutionalist who has never wavered from his principles and Votes 'NO' to every unconstitutional bill. And to those who say he did not get enough legislation passed I say that is like criticizing a Nun for not turning 'tricks' in a brothel when her purpose for being there is to redeem the harlots and show them a better way.

He does not boast, he does not brag, he does not tell you he is the toughest so elect him, because he has demonstrated a firm yet resilient purposefulness all his life and he speaks a simple yet powerful truth. He does not want to 'lead' you by manipulative tyranny, instead his personal and political life is a benediction to virtue and inspires others to listen, look and act. He does not want to control you or your life. He wants you to live in Liberty. He wants you to live in Freedom. He does not seek the Presidency to assuage his ego. He sought the Presidency so he can Serve the People and Restore the Constitution and America and he was willing to forgo the $400,000 that Obama is being paid, and only accept $39,336 to serve us.

If 7Up is the un-cola, Ron Paul is the Un-Politician and America would not have had to choose from coke 'Obama' or pepsi 'Romney.' Remember that you could have had a V8 in 08 instead of McCain't. McCain was a ringer and so was Romney in 12. Instead you will have to settle for O-bomb-a in 12. You could have had a Ron Paul instead and you would have been feeling a whole lot better about it today, after the election.

You were warned that one of three likely scenarios would take place:

1. 'Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination and runs as a third party candidate: Ron Paul gets the following voters: (a. 2008 Obama voters who thought they were going to get 'Change', (b. 2008 Obama voters who voted to end the wars, (c. the VAST majority of the Independent vote. (d. Ron Paul supporters coming out to vote in DROVES. Maybe Obama wins. Probably Ron Paul wins.' But Ron Paul did not run as a third-party candidate. Instead, he stayed in The Party and worked hard against great odds to change the course of history until the bitter end of the Convention.


2. 'Ron Paul and his supporters are shut out and even violently attacked at the conventions: Fervent and stubborn Ron Paul supporters stay home or write him in or vote for Gary Johnson.' This is what happened

3. This is what could have happened. 'Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination: Ron
Paul gets the following voters: (a. 2008 Obama voters who thought they were going to get 'Change', (b. 2008 Obama voters who voted to end the wars, (c. the VAST majority of the Independent vote, (d. the entire GOP voting block who dislikes Obama enough to vote for Ron Paul instead. (e. Ron Paul supporters coming out to vote in DROVES. Ron Paul definitely wins.'

You could have made a difference. You could have awakened and got up and did something productive to get the only Constitutionally Qualified and most decent human being who was running for President; who so humbly walks the walk of Christ without calling attention to himself like so many who are glitter bugs talking as they are stumbling.

'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle' Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Next time, get behind someone who is truly Constitutionally Conservative like Ron Paul is. It will NOT be anyone like Marco Rubio, Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Michelle Bachman, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, or Mitt Romney.

It WILL be someone like Ron Paul, Justin Amish, Walter Jones, John Duncan, Gary Johnson, Virgil Goode, Chuck Baldwin, or Rand Paul.

History will record what we do today moving forward. Will we save America while we still can? Or will we re-arrange the furniture on a sinking ship? I am not young, but I feel for the young people and I would like to leave our children and our children's children an America of Freedom and Liberty with Constitutional Law, and specifically a Bill of Rights that protects their God given rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Posterity will judge us for what we do today, and for what we don't do today. Will Posterity pay homage to you for acting wisely to protect them by bringing flowers to your place of bodily rest, or will they curse your memory and bring sledge-hammers and wrecking balls to tear down your monuments and edifices and desecrate your graves?

Think about it People.

The Power Elite were behind the selection of both major party candidates, as usual. Both candidates supported big government, deficit spending, the Patriot Act, NDAA, unsound money, undeclared/Unconstitutional wars & a continued welfare state. In short: a basic continuation of the welfare/warfare/police state that is bankrupting us.

Most voters do not bother to look for the truth yet in the internet. Most voters still swallow what is fed to them by the MSM, also under the control of the Power Elite. Most voters do not know the difference between Austrian (small government) economics & Keynesian (big government) economics.

It's no longer if, but when our welfare/warfare/police state goes bankrupt. What happens next, I do not know, but if the masses stay so ill informed, I doubt things will get better. The Power Elite will probably lead them like sheep to the slaughter.
