Ron Paul and Romney supporters EPIC debate
- The above 'WEARECHANGE.ORG'-stamped Youtube was posted (reposted?) by 'AG3NTANTHRAX',
September 20, 2012. The clip looks like
it was probably created during the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida,
in late August. The debate is an excellent, wide-ranging, in-depth discussion. The debaters
are respectful and even-keeled - impressive, considering the political and economic mess we're in. There is no difference between Obama and Romney, argues the Ron Paul supporter. Agreed.

The Republicans' 2012 Teleprompted Convention Part 2
Weep for America. Background: GOP embeds are afraid of the people. Obviously, it follows that what they want is not what the people want. So they are trying to wrap it up with a bow for themselves this way: change the GOP rules so that an unelected rules committee - or the presumptive nominee?/! - can refuse to permit DULY ELECTED delegates, voted for by the citizens of their respective states, from exercising their duties to vote for the next leader of the Republican Party. Here, at the two minute mark, a voice vote to adopt the new rules is taken. To my ears it's too close to call; a tie between the ayes and the nays. the teleprompter is pre-scripted! and is read by the announcer: the ayes have it, over loud shouts from the floor of 'point of order!'

The military-industrials sector, the political class and the banks are pulling off a neat trick - a shell game. There is little substantive difference between Romney and Obama.
Their apologists raise the issue of Ron Paul's support for bringing back a gold-backed dollar. They say it's wacko, hoping that voters will believe them and that, as a result, voters would ignore almost every other pertinent thing.
Every time one hears of 'economic easing' it means that, in reality, they are watering down the value of the dollar - a hidden tax on you and me. Ron Paul's idea is to prevent them from so impoverishing us. If you think about it, it's not so easy to water down gold.
Not all issues are equal, of course. Ron Paul wanted to save us from ourselves by restoring sanity to our foreign policy. Our military 'adventurism' is often described as reckless. Thinking we can boss everybody and control all the world's riches is not sane.
Ringing nuclear-armed Russia with missiles. Not sane. Positioning the military for future dreams of challenging nuclear-armed China. Is that sane? Refusing to compute that Russia and China, of necessity, are increasingly allying their interests. (One senses a trend.)
Judge not by what they say, but by what they do - the better test. What happened with the cheating throughout the Republican leadership contest, and, ultimately, against Ron Paul delegates in the end at the Republican National Congress, in Tampa, Florida - is not symptomatic of the GOP. I don't think so. It's symptomatic of the fact that we are headed straight to lawlessness, war and hell. Ron Paul wanted to stop it. Or try, anyway. All the while, he was smeared and mocked in the popular press. Meanwhile, during the 2012 Republican leadership campaign, tens of thousands in California alone turned out to hear Ron Paul share his message in a matter of days. This was the norm.

Ron Paul Talk 080612 Sanctions on Iran and Syria - Closer to Another Criminal War
Similar to the fireside chat idea, every week Congressman and presidential candidate, Ron Paul, makes a phone recorded message that anyone can listen to by dialing, toll-free, 888-322-1414. The text of this week's political commentary by Ron Paul follows, below:
| Moving toward War in Syria |  |  |  |
Last week the House passed yet another bill placing sanctions on Iran and Syria, bringing us closer to another war in the Middle East. We are told that ever harsher sanctions finally will force the targeted nations to bend to our will. Yet the ineffectiveness of previous sanctions teaches us nothing; in truth sanctions lead to war more than they prevent war.
Until last year, Libyan sanctions were touted as a great success story. The regime would change its behavior. Yet NATO bombed the country anyway.
Last week we learned that President Obama signed an intelligence “finding” directing the CIA to covertly assist rebels in Syria. The administration seems determined to fight yet another war in Syria that has nothing to do with American national interests.
We already know that a similar “finding” was signed under the latest Bush administration directing US intelligence to undermine the Iranian government and promote regime change there. Neoconservatives have long demanded that we overthrow the Syrian government before moving on to war against Iran. This bellicosity continues regardless of which party is in the White House.
In Syria we see once again we see how our interventionist policies backfire and make us less secure. Recent news reports point to ties between the Syrian opposition and al-Qaeda (and other extremist groups). A recent article in the Guardian, a British newspaper, exclaimed that, “Al-Qaida turns tide for rebels in battle for eastern Syria.” The article quotes an al-Qaeda leader in Syria saying that he meets with the main US-backed Syrian rebel organization, the Free Syrian Army, “almost every day.” So by promoting civil war in Syria we end up fueling al-Qaeda.
According to another recent press report, German intelligence services estimate that nearly 100 terrorist attacks have been committed by al-Qaeda or related organizations in Syria over the past six months. Last month a suicide bomber in Syria killed a defense minister and several top government officials. The US government, which has been fighting a “War on Terror” for more than a decade now, refused to condemn that act of terrorism.
This raises the question of whether the US administration is supporting the same people in Syria that we have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton expressed these same concerns earlier this year when asked whether the US has been reluctant to arm the Syrian rebels. She answered, “To whom are you delivering them? We know al-Qaida. Zawahiri is supporting the opposition in Syria. Are we supporting al-Qaida in Syria?”
That is a very good question. It clearly demonstrates that the United States has no business at all being involved in the Syrian civil war. In the 1980s we supported a resistance movement in Afghanistan that later gave birth to elements of al-Qaeda and the Taliban. When will we learn our lesson and stop intervening in conflicts we don’t truly understand, conflicts that have nothing to do with American national interests?

Joe Klein TIME - Mittwit rant - Senority
Joe Klein TIME - Mittwit rant - Senority
August 2, 2012
by Diane V. McLoughlin, mcloughlinpost.com
For what passes as measured discourse on Israel in the corporate press, Joe Klein's article, 'Senority', is pretty good. Slanted toward the occupying status quo; inclined to blame the Palestinian victims - but still, good.
He points out that Palestinians are every bit as enterprising and hard-working as Jews, citing examples. He extrapolates the irony regarding just how much Palestinians and Jews share in common.
And the concluding paragraph is superb. Klein skewers Romney for his racist views regarding the Palestinian people:
'Romney’s ignorance of these details, and his willingness to associate himself with extremist grotesques like Sheldon Adelson, raise serious questions about his ability to conduct a wise and measured foreign policy.'
The Daily Show's Jon Stewart works it on Mitt Romney's disastrous overseas jaunt:
“Again, Romney appears to be saying while Palestinian despair has its roots in their culture, God is also holding them down,” Stewart noted. “Or, if you prefer to look at the converse, Israel’s economic progress is evidence of the hand of providence — going to assume that all the horrible shit that happened to the Jews prior to that was the hand of providence’s middle finger.”
[As seen in, 'Jon Stewart mocks Romney's Israel gaffes: Jews are culturally money-making motherf*ckers'; Raw Story's Eric W. Dolan, July 31, 2012 -- includes the clip.]
Whoops:
However, Mr. Klein commits a rather large journalistic gaffe himself. Missing in his article is the bit that Romney hasn't actually won the nomination yet.
One-term governor Mitt Romney's opponent is twelve-term congressman Ron Paul - the real political giant - as is so patently obvious in this August 1st, 2012 floor speech in the House of Congress:
'Congressman Ron Paul's Speech Against Iran Sanctions'
Aside to the national leadership of the Republican Party:
Vote fraud and other political dirty tricks by embeds in the Republican Party system is going to go down in history - with names and dates - that's guaranteed. It's not too late to do the right thing. Shut down the shenanigans going on in state after state, trying to strip elected Ron Paul delegates of their duties only to replace them with unelected Romney moles - before it hits the courts (and it's headed there.)
Ron Paul won the votes and the delegates to qualify. There should be no equivocating by the Republican Party about placing Ron Paul's name on the ballot for the Republican National Congress taking place, in Tampa, Florida in just a few weeks' time.
