The Bankers Won’t Stand For This

Before We Go To War With Iran Consider This

The last few weeks tensions have mounted in the Persian Gulf as the US and Israel hold war games in the Iranian’s backyard.  With the threat of an oil embargo and other sanctions which almost always leads to war I think it’s time we had a reality check here.  I’m sure that I’ll  get emails from the Israel is always right crowd calling me an anti-semite among other things but that just goes with the territory of telling the truth to those that can’t handle it.

First, why are we going to war and why the sanctions? Well if you listen to all the hawks and chicken-hawks(mostly chicken-hawks) including 3 of the 4 remaining GOP candidates for President, it’s because Iran is developing a nuclear weapons program.

But let’s examine this a little more closely. What actual proof and I mean concrete proof do we have that such a program exists? I will remind readers to think back to before the beginning of the Iraq war and all the talk about Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction. Intelligence was wrong and some even manipulated to look like something it wasn’t.

Of course once the invasion began and the CIA and DIA came out saying most of the WMD intelligence was severely flawed and mostly false then the Bush administration and the corporate media spun a new reason for the war, human rights. We were told what a butcher Hussein was but we skipped over the parts where Hussein actually existed and gained his power by being friends with the US with people like Donald Rumsfield.  We’ll talk about this in detail a little later.

if you get a chance to read the new IAEA report that the west is using as an excuse to go after the Iranians it is important to read the wording carefully. Terms such as likely, possibly, leading indicator, possible indications are being used in the report yet when the presstitutes of the corporate media report this as news they’d have you believe it’s a slam dunk.  And why won’t the IAEA allow a more transparent review of the evidence by other nuclear experts. After all, if the evidence is there you shouldn’t be afraid to show it to these experts, right?

We’ve seen the government’s talking heads  spin it their way to fit their agenda but let’s look at it from a different point of view also. After all before rushing to war is it not our moral obligation to determine the justness of such war? (sorry evangelical hypocrites, I know that part is over your head)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PfuciW1us0

Ok let’s go further on the nuclear thing.  We have countries such as India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel..yes Israel, that have not signed on to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and have nuclear weapons. We are not only not calling for economic sanctions on these four countries but consistently provide them with foreign aid from tax payer funds.  This hypocrisy is one of the reasons we have so many enemies in the world and people don’t like us. Of course the politicians continue to try and convince you that its because we are free and wealthy.  Really, only an imbecile really believes that theory and of course the average American republican neocon voter is imbecilic so that stands to reason that a part of this country swallows this line hook line and sinker.

Iran having signed on to the Biological Conventions Treaty and Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty and The Nuclear Non Proliferation treaty has as such agreed to be against nuclear weapons.  As a matter of fact the Ayatollahs of Iran created a Fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons saying the use of such weapons are against the religion of Islam.

As mentioned, having signed onto the NPT the Iranians have a right to enrich uranium which they are doing. They claim they are enriching uranium to 5% which is consistent for nuclear power generation. In order for nuclear weapons uranium enrichment must exceed 90% so this should be fairly easy to verify. But has the IAEA done so? No it has not.

Yet the US finds itself allied with a country that by all accounts already is involved in a covert war with Iran. This ally is Israel and our own ally refuses to sign onto the Non Proliferation treaty and also refuses to allow IAEA inspectors into it’s own country to view it’s nuclear program.

Once again do you see the hypocrisy of the west in this regards? We are applying sanctions to one country for not complying yet we ally and reward this ally country that has an even worse record for compliance than the nation we are sanctioning.

This my friends is one of the main reasons we are disliked in the Islamic world and it is also why we are not trusted. Not because we are free.

Let’s look at our own history with Iran and you might understand how they feel about us. In the 1950s Iran had a democratically elected President, Mohammad Mosaddegh. Mosaddegh made a mistake by nationalizing Iran’s petroleum industry which up until then had been controlled by British Oil companies.  As is usually the case the corporatists of Great Britain and the US could not have their empire type control taken away and launched an operation to get rid of Mosaddegh and install someone they could control which ended up being the Shah of Iran.

This coup de tat did two things for the US, it gave them the share of Iranian oil interests and it also kept the USSR out of Iran.  However the shah who many Iranians viewed accurately as a puppet of the US and the west used his secret police to create a police state and oppress many Iranians and for sure any Iranian that questioned US/ Iran ties. Finally the Iranian people had enough of the US backed police state and had their own revolution in 1979 and I am sure many of you had read about the Iran hostage crisis back then. This was the blowback to us by supporting a dictator that oppressed his own people and why many Iranians dislike and don’t trust the US.

But the US wasn’t done as they turned a blind eye to Iraq then invading Iran in 1980. As a matter of fact we then threw our support behind the Iraqis and our good friend Saddam Hussein who eventually used chemical weapons he procured from the US on the Iranians and on the Kurds.

Would you trust a country that you had a history with such as this? Now are you beginning to see the real reason the Iranians dislike the US?

In closing here are some questions I think our congress needs to ask before we have any armed conflict with Iran or even the application of sanctions which almost always leads to armed conflict.

First there needs to be an open debate on why we are allied with a nation with nuclear weapons that refuses to sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty and refuses to allow IAEA inspectors into it it’s country while we seek conflict with a country that has allowed inspectors and has signed the treaty.

Next we need to debate why we are going after Iran yet we are not demanding the same of India, Pakistan and North Korea with the same threats of economic sanctions, embargoes and the threat of armed invasion. Shouldn’t everything be on the table with these countries?

Next we need to evaluate the Iranian threat. Iran has not in modern times invaded any country. Yet the US and it’s Nato allies have seen fit to invade countries with a pre-emptive war doctrine that has proved to be based on incorrect intelligence. It should also be pointed out that the US government carried out these pre-emptive wars in a way that makes them unconstitutional and thus illegal according to our own laws and also international laws.  Now I’m sure many of you neocons are screaming about the US following international law and how we as a sovereign nation have to do what we do in our interests right? Well why then do we want to invade another sovereign nation for doing something in its best interest?

I think the debate should include that whether the US wants Iran to have a nuclear that it is their right as a sovereign nation to have one. How can we as a nation expect the world to recognize our sovereignty while we refuse to recognize other countries sovereign rights also. Every single congressperson had better have a good reason for this before voting for war.

Let’s face it no one wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Personally I wish no country had them because the use of them will be the end of our world as it exists today. I think everyone should destroy their nukes. But we all know that isn’t going to happen. And until everyone gives theirs up and until Israel gives theirs up I don’t see how we can expect Iran to stop their program if one exists.

The mere way we treat Iran right now versus the way we treat India, Pakistan , North Korea and Israel is proof and shows dramatically why Iran would want a weapon. Other countries have to respect you when you have them.  The US and Russia, China and other Nato countries all had nuclear weapons. Not just in storage but on launch pads and targeted on specific targets. This was termed Mutually Assured Destruction and most nuclear weapons advocates point out is why they were never used. Shouldn’t Iran have this same assurance? And might this assurance actually result in parties in the mid east realizing the same thing  that the US, China and USSR did during the cold war? That the danger of nuclear conflict resulted in diplomacy and agreements rather than nuclear conflict and the destruction of our world?

These are things that require a full debate before going to war with any country but especially Iran. It is my opinion that we will not have this type of debate because neither the world bankers who actually control our government and hence our military and the neocons who believe in war with everyone to build their dream empire will allow a debate. Because if they do, going to war will not be able to stand up to a full debate.

But just the same, we as citizens should demand what our founders  gave us as a form of government. And we should stand up and demand it being followed that took an oath to do so and we should take those that refuse to follow and keep their oath and put them in jail after removing them from office.

Agree or Disasgree? You tell me.

Ron Paul Was Right Again

Ron Paul has long been saying the US Neocon relationship with Israel was not good for America. Many others in the patriot community have been saying that Israel has too much influence on US policy and being labeled as anti semetic for saying so.

Well lets see we have a Jewish newspaper in Atlanta calling for the assassination of a US President if the Iranians develop a nuclear weapon.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/atlanta-jewish-newspaper-advocates-mossad-assassinating-obama-if-iran-gets-nukes.html

Here’s the newspaper article:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/284979-ajt.html

Whether you love or hate Obama this type of thing must stop. This is a veiled threat to this country’s president.  You know I think we just found the guy to try the new NDAA act detention policies on. Let’s see if they have the balls to do it or because it’s some Jewish American that puts another country’s best interest over his own in such a fashion to suggest killing a president might be necessary he’ll get a free pass from the government.

My guess is that he will.

Santorum’s True Colors

Good article by Thomas DiLorenzo, one of my favorite authors to read. Shows how when you watch these interviews on TV with people like Santorum you have to be sceptical and you need to research what they say.

Another Evangelical Hypocrite

Hah here we have another evangelical hypocrite speaking out about Ron Paul, really if you hypocrites are going to keep this up you ought to at least find some that aren’t so easy to shoot down. Let’s view this little skunk’s video and let me point out the lies.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8MX7gFB4KR0

At the 00:21 second mark after this little weasel tries to sell us on his conservative credentials talks about Ron Paul not being a conservative.

Well according to a study done at the University of Georgia Political Science department’s professor Keith Poole Ron Paul is actually the most conservative. See the study:

http://voteview.com/Is_John_Kerry_A_Liberal.htm

Ok so the little weasel was wrong there, let’s move on.

Ron Paul is not an isolationist he is a non interventionist which means like most American’s he believes the country should mind its own business something our very first president warned us about.

Really , you know what this two bit snake oil salesman is selling is pure bullshit.

At the 00:23 mark..another lie saying Dr. Paul is hostile toward the military.

He’s hostile toward the military? Really?  First of all Ron Paul is a veteran and served during the Vietnam era. He was drafted when he was married and had two young children. He didn’t try to weasel out, he went and served.

This little pint sized Evangelical Hypocrite hid behind deferments and did not serve. Oh but he’s hawkish now with your children.

And one other item If Ron Paul is so hostile to the military then why does he get 3 times more money than all the other GOP candidates combined from active duty military? Lies, Lies Lies,  Evangelical hypocrites like this are going to hell. Guess Mr. holier than thou forgot the ninth Commandment : Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.. in other words thou shalt not lie.  Now are you beginning to see how the Evangelical Hypocrites got their new name on here? It’s like shooting ducks in a swimming pool.

Ahhh at the 00:25 second mark we get to the bottom of this smear. The little hypocrite says Ron Paul is hostile towards Israel. Ron Paul is not hostile towards Israel but he recognizes that Israel drives our foreign policy way too much.  Now the truth is that many times in this country if you say anything the neocons consider negative about Israel you are immediately labeled anti Semitic.  Ron Paul has a true non interventionist policy of the US minding it’s own business. Letting Israel as a sovereign country take care of itself in its own interest. That includes the Palestinian problem.

Hell 70% of the Israelis in a poll said that if the UN voted for Palestinian Statehood that the country should go along with UN. Right now many of the youth in Israel are refusing to sign up for the IDF(army).

http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?ID=238855&R=R1

But wait, where does Mr. Bauer make his money from? He is a member of a lobby group called Christians United For Israel, along with Demagogue John Hagee who promotes Christian Zionism and has said this in a July 16th 2007 speech  “

Hagee announced on July 16, 2007 in a speech during the CUFI Washington summit that he is a proponent of a pre-emptive nuclear strike on Iran in order to save the State of Israel

Boy there’s a man of God for you, I’m sure the prince of peace would be all for the US initiating another first nuclear strike on a sovereign country.

These guys are worried about Iran getting a nuke? I’m worried who is listening to this crackpot in government.

Now folks I worked for an Israeli company  for over 16 years. I traveled to Israel on business trips  several times. I have many friends that are Israelis and I can tell you the majority of them hate Zionism. When talking about Israel you must be able to separate the zionists from the normal Israelis. Zionists are on the same line as the neocons in this country.

So that being said Ron Paul does not hate Israel but he feels if left alone to solve their own problems without us mucking up the works because we want to keep the Saudis happy they just might come to a diplomatic solution. I can tell you most of my Israeli friends have told me they are willing to trade land for peace because their children have no choice about serving in the military and they don’t believe this cause is worth risking their kids lives.

I’ve always had a lot of problems with Christian friends telling me that we have to support Israel because it’s in the bible and the Jews are God’s chosen people. Of course if they are God’s chosen people then what do they have to fear from anyone?  And ok if you do believe the interpretation and think we should stick up for Israel then I say this to all my Christian friends that believe this. If anyone attacks Israel I expect to see you on the flight line ready to go fight in  the desert yourself. Follow your religious beliefs which you are free to do, grab a gun and go fight.  But that usually changes things right there for most of these people when faith and beliefs actually mean putting yourself in harms way. I’m sure little Mr. Bauer would be looking for another deferment like he did during Vietnam.

at 00:29 mark, lying hypocrite says Ron Paul was hostile to Ronald Reagan. The truth is that Ron Paul supported Reagan in 1976  but when Reagan got into office he did not fulfill his promises and began running up debts. For example the public debt in dollars in 1980 was 712 billion dollars. In 1988 the debt was 2,052 billion dollars. Almost triple from the beginning of Reagan’s term in office. Hey look, I liked Reagan too but the facts are what they are. Also let’s not forget we had marines blown up in Beirut, something that later Reagan admitted was a mistake on his part putting the Marines in the middle of basically a civil war. And we also had Iran/Contra so as much as you want to wax idealic about the Reagan years the facts are what they are. Of course it is my belief that it was those surrounding Ronald Reagan that did him more harm than Reagan himself and I believe he placed to much trust in people that had their own agendas..hmmmm wasn’t Gary Bauer one of them?

at the 00:33 mark he says Ron Paul denies that Iran is building nuclear weapons, no Ron Paul says he has yet to see any credible evidence that Iran is building a nuclear weapon. And really what if Iran is? Then of course there are alternatives since they signed a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. I sure hope that Americans would learn from mistakes of the past and demand concrete evidence before rushing off to another war. Remember Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction that were never found?  The simple fact is Israel has nuclear weapons and as long as they do then their neighbors are going to want them too. Why aren’t we disarming Pakistan? India? North Korea.. Could it be because they have no oil? Because they are not in a position to affect the dollar as reserve currency.  Ron Paul’s answer is Iran is a sovereign country and it’s not the US’s  business if they do.

Let the UN settle the matter, we are not the police of the world and we really don’t have a leg to stand on intellectually since we are the only nation to ever use first strike nuclear weapons on another country.

Whether or not it was a crime to kill Osama Bin Laden is still being interpreted but let’s be clear, it’s not just Ron Paul that says that and there are many in the legal community that agree with him. He has repeatedly asked why not just capture bin laden? Could it be the government couldn’t stand the light a trial might bring? Or was bin laden even killed? His body was discarded in the sea so who really knows. Many believe he has been dead for sometime. And by the way since he is dead, we have no further reason for being in Afghanistan since that was what the authorization to go there was for..but we’re still there aren’t we? hmmmmm.

at the 00:41 mark Mr. Bauer says Ron Paul blames America for creating 9/11. No but Ron Paul sure does blame our foreign policy of sticking our noses in other countries’ affairs as a reason. And I happen to agree with that assessment myself. Do some research and read many of the things Bin laden said and wrote, he talks about US troops in Saudi Arabia a place most Muslims consider sacred. This is exactly the type of foreign policy George Washington warned about. And remember at one time we were supplying Bin laden with weapons when he was fighting with the mujahadeen in Afghanistan. Talk about blowback. If any of you readers can, please provide me with proof of any success of our intervention in another country’s affairs has led to something positive for the country and for the US.

Oh and as for 9/11, Ron Paul has never to my knowledge said the US had anything to do with 9/11. But how could we know because we never had a real investigation. Could that be another reason the establishment is scared to death of Ron Paul? Scared he might pick people to investigate 9/11 and find something bad? After all it wouldn’t be the first time it was discovered that the US government created a false flag event to be able to do something they couldn’t otherwise, you know like create a department of homeland security and the patriot act..stuff like that.

And let’s have an opinion by someone who is actually Jewish

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pqW9J_roA5o

Walter Block is Jewish and has know Ron Paul for years. Let’s see what he thinks.

And last but not least let’s listen to Thomas Woods

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0BR0QzXlVYI

I realize this was a long post but if you want to learn something it takes some research and time. Hopefully I’ve saved you some searching time if you seek the truth rather than just swallowing hook line and sinker some message from an Evangelical Hypocrite, who is not only a hypocrite but a liar.

The question is When are Christians that aren’t hypocrites going to begin to call people like this out and put them in their place. Until you start to do that, don’t be surprised that it will hurt your cause with people you try to witness to.

DTOM Recommends Boycott Of Goldline

Goldline is a sponsor of the Mark Levin show and as Mark Levin is doing his best to sabotage the Ron Paul movement and making disparaging remarks about supporters DTOM will no longer consider using Goldline and I urge you readers to do the same!

We will look at other sponsors of this neocon’s show and boycott accordingly.

More Proof Of Evangelical Hypocrisy

Yesterday it was announced that so called Evangelical Leaders or as I call them Evangelical Hypocrites met in Dallas and came to a decision to throw support behind Rick Santorum. This on the eve of the SC primary vote.

Let’s examine some of these hypocrites and show why that is what they really are.

Let’s start with Tony Perkins, now at least Mr. Perkins did serve although it’s not quite clear if he ever was in combat. But now Mr. Perkins is the president of the Family Research Council. Let’s look at for instance this group’s view on life. From their own website they state :  ” God is the Author of life, Family Research Council recognizes and respects the inherent dignity of every human life from conception (whether by natural or artificial means) until death. FRC desires to help build a culture of life, holding that all human life is a gift to be treasured. The life of every human being is an intrinsic good, not something whose value is conditional upon its usefulness to others or to the state. “.

A very noble statement actually and one that many Americans would probably agree with in general until you started asking questions. Now let’s look at it in a more critical nature.  If every human life is to be respected how can someone that truly believes this then back a candidate who promotes war and who has basically called for a holy war against Muslims. Don’t believe me ? Do a search “Santorum promises to eradicate muslims” or read a transcript of a speech he gave in 2007 .

http://www.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/news/2472/speech-by-senator-rick-santorum

As I have said before you cannot be for life and then promote war especially un-provoked or pre-emptive war. This is about as hypocritical as it gets. And when you read Santorum’s words he sounds just like the so called radicals we supposedly are trying to stop and criticise for their beliefs.

Next at the meeting we have James Dobson another demagogue who speaks with forked tongue. Mr. Dobson as far as I can find has never served in the military. So he has not a clue not only what military service is like but war itself.  He raised the hackles of one of his listeners of his radio show when he implied if you were against the Iraq war you must be a leftist.  I can tell you for a fact that some of the most conservative and religious people I know that actually live their religious beliefs were against this war from day one.  I distinctly remember when the shock and awe began and many people were watching on TV and cheering one of my closest friends said “Bush is a snake in the grass, and this war will prove to be wrong” How right he was. So that’s hypocrite two that supports a guy that has said if he’s elected President, he’ll bomb Iran.

This is a good article concerning Dobson’s show.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/gaddy/gaddy18.html

Next we have Don Wildmon of the American Family Association who is a hypocrite many times over with leaders in his organization  American Family Association not even able to respect the first amendment. They complained when Keith Ellison  took his oath on the Koran instead of the bible. Since Ellison is a muslim it makes sense he would pledge an oath to a god he followed rather than one he doesn’t. They also complain of hindus giving before session prayers in congress.  This intolerance to other religions is the same as the radical muslims and against the very foundation that our inalienable rights are recognized.  Of course Mr. Wildmon is supposedly for the sanctity of life but he supports a candidate like Rick Santorum who is a warmonger supreme.

The more I read about who supports Santorum and Gingrich the two warmongers who don’t happen to be a Mormon, the more I realize how accurate my label of Evangelical Hypocrite actually is.

While I have always believed in God and believed Jesus Christ died for my sins, I have always been a tad sceptical of religions and religious sects within a religion. Organized religion has always been fraught with fakes and phoneys in my opinion. It is one of the reasons I rarely attend a church. And one of the reasons that after attending a church I usually stop because of what I see.

In general I would go as far to say that I hold little in agreement with most so called evangelicals who are among the country’s most hypocritical in my opinion.

The funny thing is, you have Ron Paul who is a very religious man and as far as I can see lives his life as such. Yet he also took an oath to follow the Constitution and as such when it comes to items like gay marriages, pornography, drugs and other items in this category, he realizes that constitutionally the government has no jurisdiction to control this and does not let his personal beliefs rule over the oath he took. This for me gives this man the high ground over all those Evangelical Hypocrites that shun his candidacy and support his opponents who may preach what the hypocrites want to hear but don’t even live that way.

For this reason I will continue to be on my own little Christian Island spurning all efforts to recruit me into one of these hypocritical groups who in my case actually end up being anti-evangelicals rather than what they perceive themselves to be.

The Tea Party Is Now The Pseudo Tea Party

Many news stories about Republicans and the Republican Party these days seem to mention the Tea Party.  I once considered myself a tea party member until I watched the grass roots movement get co-opted by the republican party and some big time party officials.

It should be no surprise that when the tea party originally formed its membership included a lot of Ron Paul supporters who had been calling for an end to the fed and positions to force the government to follow the constitution in all other matters especially in the wake of the recession/depression of 2008.

We saw people standing on the sides of streets in communities all over America holding signs about run away spending, following the constitution, waving Gadsen Flags etc.

We saw them march on Washington during the health care debate, still holding up signs with quotes from founding fathers, still waving the Gadsen Flags and talking about following the Constitution.

Then the elections came and we saw some politicians that truly believe in Liberty like Rand Paul swept in into office with some other republicans that talked a good game about following the Constitution and pork spending etc. Once in office many of them though acted just like the opponent they defeated, by creating earmarks for the district with just maybe different recipients. A simple search such as “tea party betrayed”  will reveal how the newly elected politicians didn’t even last a year without breaking many of their promises.

Of course the problem is not just the politicians who didn’t keep their word but also to many of the so called tea party members who also abandoned their original platform.  For instance if you’ll remember the “Pledge to America” where a bunch of lying politicians got up in front of everyone and promised not to pass laws that were unconstitutional and other such things, well they have broken many of those pledges already but where is the tea party? They should be on these people they helped into office for not keeping their word but because they are their candidate they overlook the broken promises.

Like the Evangelical Hypocrites the tea party also back much of the defense spending that is running this country into the ground. Oh they’ll complain against any domestic spending that they deem is driving us to socialism yet they allow defense spending which is the real drag on the economy to go on without nary a word of protest. They also aren’t vocal about the corporate welfare that is a large part of the budget and is not constitutional either.

From now on I will be calling these people the Pseudo Tea Party because that’s what they really are. For those unfamilar pseudo comes from greek and means false or fake. Hence the fake tea party.  Look going by the Constitution is not always easy. That is why it was written in the first place because the founders realized that people in power had a natural instinct to exact more control on those not in power.  For instance it is common  in the news and conversation to call people like our Harry Reid a leader or almost any other politicians for that matter. That is how most of these clowns think of themselves but they aren’t leaders and if the tea party was genuine and for the Constitution they would be reminding these people everyday that they are representatives, not leaders. Which makes them more of our servant than our leaders.

But I digress, If the tea party were really what it says it is, there could be no question on what present GOP candidate should get their support and that is Ron Paul. Ron Paul has proven over his whole career that the Constitution is the driving factor  in his voting record and one need only look at his record to determine that is exactly so.

Now let’s take for example the question of earmarks. Some of his opponents have brought up the fact Congressman Paul has put in for earmarks and that is definitely true. But he has then voted against those very earmarks when they are attached to a spending bill. Now people like Rick Perry who were bought and sold long ago can’t get a grasp on this. But anyone who studies the Constitution knows that (1) Congress is in charge of the pocketbook of the nation and so Ron Paul goes by the theory that every penny available to be spent should be designated for something. (2) He also recognizes that he was sent to congress to represent his district and when his constituents ask for him to put in for something he does so as “their servant” but the know at the same time he’ll be voting against it. Many times they do get it, because unfortunately Ron Paul’s ideals are rare in congress and he is many times the lone dissenter. It’s a shame because his ideals really should be the majority. The point of this paragraph is to point out that when it comes to spending Ron Paul is perhaps the only one with a clear conscience when it comes to following his oath and constitutional duties.

Many of the other candidates have proven by their actions in previous political positions that they were actually part of the problem the tea party was bitching about during the last election. Especially Gingrich and Santorum who both have a record of questionable spending. Just the fact that the tea party even considers them as viable candidates shows just how far from their original ideals this movement has come. They may be using the tea party name but they are no longer what they used to originally be.  For that reason, on this blog they will no longer be referred to as the tea party but to what they really are the pseudo tea party.

The simple facts are, you can’t be for the Constitution partially. You either believe in it or not. You don’t have to like all the results of living by it and if you did it would be rare. But you must realize that the alternative to not living by it is what we have today and this cannot continue if America still wishes to be the country that says Liberty and Freedom are its main goals.  For those of us who do believe in the Constitution, I think many have already come to the conclusion that that America is already lost and their will need to be a revolution to restore our true republic. How that will be accomplished is of course another discussion.

Another example is the neocons in power today and their love and war and conflict based on some premise that America should be involved in other countries’ business and workings all over the world. Hell, we go there on the premise of promoting freedom while our own freedoms disappear daily. Yet the Tea Party does what about that? Nothing of course because many of them agree with the neocons, support unconstitutional wars, unconstitutional spending on wars etc. etc..

You by now should get the point. The Tea Party as it is today is fake, phoney, or however you want to describe it. While there still may be a few individuals in it that espouse true ideals for true liberty the people that are the so called spokespersons are nothing more than republican party hacks in tea party clothing.

So get used to your new name Pseudo Tea Party, that is all you’ll ever be referred to on this blog as until you practice what you preach.

An Eye For An Eye

Now we don’t know yet exactly what kind of proof the Iranians actually have on the latest assassination of an Iranian scientist. I like action novels and movies just like many people but let’s examine this incident objectively because this is real life and has real life and death consequences.

First let’s be honest, this operation has all the markings of a Mossad hit but could just as easily been done by American operatives also. They have the motive and really are the logical choice.

This in any stretch of the matter would be labeled as an act of terrorism and indeed that is what the US government tried to label some Iranian used car dealer who supposedly wanted to kill a Saudi official some months back. Of course that was so sloppily done that the public and news agencies pointed out inconsistencies that it became apparent it was nothing but a false flag event.

So back to the point. We are spending trillions of dollars on a war on terror. Our leaders vowed to basically annihilate any country or state that supported terrorism. Yet here we are doing the very same thing we complain about Iran doing.

It’s easy to see why many people in the world and not just Islamic fundamentalists have a negative opinion of the US. Now really their view is of the government but that view of our government is reflected on to us.  We tell the world the government of the US is run by the people. Many people in the world not knowing the truth assume this is something the American public condones.

So you shouldn’t be surprised since we started something along these lines that it will not at sometime be visited upon some American citizen, maybe a scientist of some sort as part of an eye for an eye type revenge killing.

I wonder when the act is carried out, how will the family of the one who is killed, feel about the US government basically putting a target on their loved one, causing the Iranians to even the score.

The American people, if they do not speak up, will soon find themselves in another war, with a country like Afghanistan that has shown the will to lose many lives while not giving up or surrendering. And they will not be alone, Russia and China both have strong business interests with Iran and will not sit idly by and watch their interests destroyed.

The people need to be sceptical of the government and require a full debate with concrete evidence before any movement toward open war is started. And this time it should be clear that if public officials take part in providing false intelligence etc. that they will be going to jail instead of just being asked to resign in shame.  Let’s see where each representative votes and if he truly votes the way his constituents want or if he votes the way the international bankers want.
