As commander in chief he can begin the task of bringing our troops home and ending the farcical War on Terror. He can reverse the eo's of Bush and Obama and if that's all he does, it will be a huge help. He can also shine a much brighter spotlight on the Federal reserve. As for the rest I have no illusions that he would be able to turn America into a libertarian paradise overnight. However, our civil liberties would come back as would our troops. He has put forth a plan to balance the budget within 3 years time and I would love to see Congress stand in the way of that. The shift in public perception is occurring right now and if Congress thinks they can get away with stonewalling a popular agenda, they'll be picking up their pink slips soon enough. The change won't happen overnight, but it will happen. It needs to start somewhere and Ron Paul is the man to get it started. Maybe Johnson or Rand will pick up the torch after Ron is done.
Nobody wants to say the A-word, but amongst patriot circles - people who really know how deep and pervasive the criminality is - it's pretty much a guarantee. Yes, Paul is a true American hero. Even still, as Paul eloquently said, nobody can stop an idea whose time has come. "They" might kill Paul. But the Constitutional Renaissance is under way. Lets hope Ron remains, and remains a symbol for everything great. And if he passes, more brave leaders will stand in his place and carry the torch of liberty. Even as a relative outsider, once America goes down, there is no other country on the face of the earth that holds individual liberty paramount, with the economic power to underwrite it. Once America goes down, the alternatives are stark. This is it. Regan's last stand on earth. This is really a watershed moment.
Alright, 666, I did not see this post earlier. That said, I do apologize, sincerely. I said some things that were unnecessary in the heat of battle. It was stupid, and I was wrong. It is funny tho. We are all here on ET, displaying fundamental knowledge of government. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but we might all end up in the same cage one day, if we choose to be taken alive. This has actually been weighing on me for quite some time. I disregarded the FEMA camps. I want to go and see some of them now. If this is what is going on, many of us have tipped our hands and they will be coming for us one day, and we will have to choose big brother, or freedom.
I suggest you all watch this. Powerful video. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/I8NhRPo0WAo?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
That would be called projection on your part RCG and is among many unhealthy mental states that you currently harbor. You are going to be one fucked up dude as you age.
Let's see... you've been on ET only 4 months and have already posted all this but if you told us if you've EVER served in combat it would be a breach of national security? Does that mean you'd have to kill us? 1) Picture w/buddies and year and location; 2) MOS -- Marine Counterintelligence Specialist (0211); 3) What you did: "my job was to identify, locate and neutralize the enemy espionage, sabotage, subversion and terrorist threat, and, among other things, engage in counterintelligence force protection source operations to defend our troops against that threat." 4) Wrote in several places you used to have TS/SCI clearance; 5) Other details like: "the Marine Corps saw fit to send me to both Jump School and SERE school, because I was both considered 'high risk of capture', and needed to be able to insert with SEALS, Force Recon, well, you get the idea."
To be clear, that's a lot more than you've offered. And also to be clear, many combat veterans don't like to talk about it except under certain circumstances. But I wouldn't expect an internet braggart like you to understand or respect that, as you clearly don't from your comments here and elsewhere in this thread.
Wow! A parrot on ET! Your superior intellect at work yet again. I am sure you make North Georgia very proud Here, have a cracker
I stopped this at the five minute mark because I had seen enuf. I am glad someone is FINALLY telling this story! I tried to explain years ago that Kuwait was an artificial state created by the British, AND they were slant drilling into Iraqi oil fields. We have gone to war for much much less. But because the Brits come before an Arab asset, Bush Sr. declared war. But as a CIA man himself, he only wanted to send a message, and not actually REMOVE Hussein, as he did have his purposes. Of course, Bush the Younger, who had never really understood anything decided to take this a step further, ignored his father, and basically handed Al Quaeda a win, as they did what they said they would do and have brought the West to the brink of implosion. Why? We spent a gazillion dollars to kill, what, 30 "individuals of interest"? Thank You Bush the Younger, may I have another? It was then, nearly a decade ago that I realized that we as a people had become too dumbed down to grasp an argument like this, and that there was an active psy-ops campaign to denigrate the word "conspiracy" and then use it as a label. Of course history has shown that all of this worked well. People cannot even bring up a complex plan involving wealth and governments without having to defend against being labeled a conspiracy theorist. It was masterful DAS, I have to admit that the powers that run the world and own all of us are very very good.
