The Sign on Ron Paul’s Desk
March 24th, 2007I used to have this bumper sticker on the back of my clip board when I worked at FedEx (one of homeland security’s best friends) in the 1990s. I was told to remove it by management. I wonder if it would be ok now? Perhaps not.

Ron Paul, 2008 Presidential Candidate
The irony is that it is not exactly the government that steals, it is the corporations which have infested government in the neocon’s zeal to privatize. In other words, it is the fascist government, i.e. the corporate/government entity, that is stealing from you, the bumper-sticker thinking level public, blind.
Part of what enabled the fascists to take power is this huge disinformation/propaganda campaign started by the neocons and repugnicans which endeavored to paint the U.S. government as inherently evil and inefficient. Of course, while there may be individual instances of outrages, studies have shown time and again that pure government entities tend to be from two to three times more efficient than privatized versions of government. Of course, this information does not serve any corporate interest, so we rarely hear about it in the MSM or the libertarian junior fascist corp.
It does however make disaffected middle-aged white guys who lost their jobs due to fascists outsourcing their jobs rather angry. Of course, they blame government, an essentially fictitious entity that serves as a red cape to attract and divert attention from and condemnation of the true villain, the corporate fascists who currently manipulate the angry, not-too-bright, white guy to do exactly the opposite of what should be done to further the interests of the angry, not-too-bright, white guy.
If the angry, not-too-bright, white guy really did what was actually in his interest, we would have a manufacturing base, a national health care system, a protected environment, a wonderful mass-transit system, secure elections, an educational system that does not create credit zombies, and a world that still looked up to us as the leaders of the humanitarian world.
Instead, we have opposite world. A steaming, pile of rightwing suffering masquerading as a democracy, an economy that is hallucinated and on the verge of collapse, national health care through the most expensive and stupid method possible — the emergency room, an environment that is about to kill us off, a car-worshipping infrastructure that will become as useful as step-pyramids buried in the jungle, and a screw-you government.
Gee thanks, repugnicans and government haters. (By the way, since we are the government, at least according to the Constitution, that means you are a bunch of self-haters.)
I’d recommend a revolution or something, but I feel the damage the fascists have caused is past the tipping point, and by the time sensible people can form a sensible government, the great dieoff will have begun in earnest. I hope not. I’d love to have the equivalent of a Nuremberg trial for the fascists. As I recall, many of the NAZIs were hung. Ah, the irony, eh Saddam?

Agree. In theory, we had a brief window of opportunity in 1974-1976 to try to restore the republic of the USA, and to get on a path to a sustainable population and infrastructure. In reality, most people were already solidly locked into the corporate media and household debt control matrix. So, people fell for a fake election between two David Rockefeller owned presidential candidates and went back to sleep. It is way too late now. Even if all the neocons get locked up at the Hague or hung for treason, the honeybees will still be dying.

‘Public choice’ theory is a good place to start learning about some of government’s inherent infficiences. Wish I could recommend a good place to start, but nevertheless worth looking at, IMHO.
BTW, where are you currently residing? I’m in the U.S. for the time being.
Fascists are one part. The Socialists, who are constantly forming this oppressed group or that which all “deserve” some kind of privilege, which always must be taken by force from the rest of us, are the other part. Regardless of what it’s called, welfare, Socialist Security, National defense, the Parks Service, the ADA, the FDA, FAA, OSHA,… My God, the list seems to go on forever…, they are all created because some group with political advantage felt that they deserved something which they could only have by stealing it from the labor of others by government mandate. Government cannot provide anything which it does not first steal from someone else. It’s only four tools are theft, slavery, murder and fraud.
1. I think it is great Ron Paul is getting some MSM attention.
2. I love how FreedomToFascism.com email campaign got Fox ‘News’ to include him in their coverage.

3. I completely agree with Kevin that has little chance of winning because he does not have any ‘power’, but I have been trying to think through what that means.
This BRILLIANT post from Kevin of a year ago helps explain what power is in the ACS.

TAKEN FROM A MAIL LIST, AUTHOR UNKNOWN
To All Americans
This post is not about politics, it is about the
SURVIVAL of the United States of America.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every presidential election which has occurred,
since I reached voting age, has given voters only
one option: to “choose” the lesser of the evils
listed on the ballots. With the single exception of
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, no president has been
elected since at least as far back as 1956 who
genuinely attempted to enforce the Supreme Law of
the Land (the Constitution), as his oath compels him
to do.
JFK announced his plan to force Congress to
perform its constitutional duty, with regard to
coining money and regulating its value, via
Executive Order #11110. He caused to be quietly
issued into circulation tens of millions of dollars’
worth of United States Notes and fully intended them
to gradually replace Federal Reserve Notes. That
would have collapsed the privately-owned Federal
Reserve Corporation’s cash-producing apparatus (the
people’s labor and production which feeds the
regressive income tax – see the 2nd plank of the
Communist Manifesto) and would have effectively put
the international central bankers out of the
business of extorting America’s workforce via open
taxation and inflation (hidden taxation).
Unwilling to forego profits of a TRILLION dollars
annually, they chose to eliminate JFK instead. On
November 22, 1963, LBJ signed (on the tarmac at Love
Field) the order to withdraw all United States Notes
from circulation. An innocent Lee Harvey Oswald was
deliberately blamed with JFK’s murder, and Jack Ruby
was dispatched to murder Oswald to prevent him from
exposing any of the operatives involved in the
crime.
Since then, every presidential candidate has known
there is no limit to what the Federal Reserve is
willing to do to preserve its clever money-making
machine (activated in 1913 by the Federal Reserve
Act, and the 16th and 17th Amendments to the
Constitution), and none has dared challenge them in
any way since. On the contrary, all have worked to
successfully remove all 51 state and District of
Columbia usury laws (prohibiting predatory lending
practices at exorbitant rates) and to tighten
bankruptcy laws for the benefit of the Federal
Reserve Banks. Ronald Reagan threatened the system
until John Hinckley’s bullet reduced him from an
activist against the Fed to simply a vocal critic of
it. None since has uttered the slightest peep.
As we approach the 2008 presidential campaign
season, a candidate brave enough to follow JFK’s
plan has come forward to run in 2008. He knows he’s
putting his life on the line. But for nearly 30
years in the Congress he has voted for and against
bills based mainly upon their conformance to the
Constitution. He is U.S. Representative Ron Paul,
M.D. (R-TX), and he eagerly tells everyone that the
Republican Party has long ago lost its way and has
abandoned its core constituency (who believes in
limited constitutional government, fiscal
conservatism, and non-intrusive foreign policy). It
is not at all surprising that the mainstream media,
controlled by the Federal Reserve, has pretty much
ignored his candidacy, as they always ignore anyone
not already under their control. Just ask anyone who
has ever been a candidate for the Green Party, the
Libertarian Party, or the Constitution Party.
But the unregulated….thus far, at
least….Internet could well end the Fed’s
stranglehold on what the American public sees,
hears, reads, and buys. This can indeed be a true
grass-roots revolution which could restore the
representative republic the United States lost in
1868. It could well put a man in the White House
who, without regard for political party affiliation,
would put individual freedom and privacy on the
front burner (for the first time in any of our
lifetimes) and restore the constitutional
protections for the God-given rights with which
every human being is born. Don’t forget, the
Constitution does not BESTOW any rights, it is supposed to
PROTECT rights bestowed by God.
The government is SUPPOSED to see to it that those
rights are protected, it is what government is about, yet it has been the government which has been systematically taking them away, one
by one, through clever machinations, outright lies, and evil covenants.
Regardless of each of our respective political
party affiliations thus far, we must all work
together as Americans (not as Democrats or
Republicans or libertarians or independents) to save our country from sinking finally into the role of a slave nation and police
state under the rule of an international elite, or even
a tyrannical dictator. Make no mistake, we are
racing headlong in that direction now, and have been
for several decades.
Ron Paul is well-known to many, but is relatively
unknown to the majority. We must work together to
change that in time to get Dr. Paul the Republican
nomination. It doesn’t matter who has the majorities
in Congress, because the Republican and Democratic
agenda is the same one. All the other candidates
arrayed before us in the Democratic and Republican
parties will be Federal Reserve puppets if elected.
It’s time we stopped being work units for the
Federal Reserve and started being free and private
individuals in pursuit, unhampered by Government, of
happiness. We should be free to do as we please, so
long as we don’t infringe upon anyone else’s freedom
or violate any legitimate law. We have deteriorated
from a nation of laws to a nation of lawlessness,
run by corrupt leaders who break more laws than they
enforce.
Get to know, if you don’t already, Ron Paul by
investing a few minutes and viewing the links below.
Then, if you agree he is genuine and offers us
greater hope for the future than all the Hillaries
and McCains and Edwards and Guilianis combined, read
Hollywood producer/director Aaron Russo’s “How-To”
email below the links. Then let’s get started saving
our country before it is too late. Please do your
part.
Thank you.

Since the days of President Wilson, who effectively gave our government to such as Rockefeller, and Carnegie, we no longer were a Democracy, but Fascist government. This move later led directly to The Great Depression.
Today we continue to see the result of this action in our involvement (this Nation) in WTO, IMF, and the World Bank. We are not as free as we think, not while the Big Bankers control our economy, and its ups and downs.
Money the Root of all EVIL.
