Doug Wead Explains the Romney Threat of Atomic PR War on RP

Giving us the inside baseball on what happened now that the convention is all over.
Also included is why Ron Paul didn't attack Romney as hard as some though he should.

I love what he said about it's not left and right anymore: they've become about the same thing.
It's not about up or down: rich or poor.
What it is about: in or out: Either you're an insider or an outsider. There are rich outsiders who are fixing to get a lot poorer. There are outsider poor folks fixing to get a lot more trapped. The insiders are locking down everything for themselves using a complex Tholian Web of regulation and fiduciary devices.

The Mitt Romney Nose Pin?

Hilarious, if we weren't living in a nightmare and all.

Also humorous, but a little more real, is the super-rich yacht party Mitt threw right after the convention for the biggest bundlers on a yacht called the Cracker Bay owned by the Villiages CEO, Gary Morse . This boat proudly flies the Cayman Islands flag, the proud home of tax dodgers across America. Now I'm not saying that Mitt Romney is one of them, but I can't say that for sure seeing how no one is allowed to see his tax returns. But anyway, you just couldn't make up this kind of stuff could you?

236 years and to see the potential POTUS hanging around a Union Jack like that makes me a little sick. But I must be some kind of subversive for feeling that way. I'm sure Mitt and his ObamaRomneyCare will have a mental health provision to get my brain good and cleaned out and I won't have these betrayed feelings anymore. 

Ron Paul Won - Now It's On Them

I had to share this great piece by Robin Koermer of Blue Republicans. The points he makes ring so true.

In all fields of human endeavor, winning by cheating is losing.
In a competition, when someone cheats, he gets disqualified. The disqualification does not make the runner-up the winner. Rather, it reveals that the man who appeared to be the runner-up had in fact been the winner all along.
In the race for the GOP nomination for President, therefore, Ron Paul won.
As the New York Times wrote yesterday,

Delegates from Nevada tried to nominate Mr. Paul from the floor, submitting petitions from their own state as well as Minnesota, Maine, Iowa, Oregon, Alaska and the Virgin Islands. That should have done the trick: Rules require signatures from just five states. But the party changed the rules on the spot. Henceforth, delegates must gather petitions from eight states.

When Mr. Romney and the RNC cheat so blatantly, they make the game no longer about politics: they make themselves ineligible for the vote of anyone who cares about his own morality, his own honesty or his own integrity – regardless of his politics. And from a purely practical standpoint, they invite Americans to ask if they want to live in a nation governed with the same contempt for those who don’t toe the party line as has been displayed both in Tampa and throughout the primary process.
But as a Ron Paul supporter, I can’t remember feeling so invigorated and empowered in my cause.

Oh, and GET THIS from Lew Rockwell

Ron, Carol, and one of their granddaughters left the GOP snake pit yesterday afternoon, but the State was not yet through with them. At the little airport in Clearwater, 8 TSA agents descended on them and ordered them not to board their private plane. First, the pilots, the airplane, and the passengers would have to be screened in great detail, because Romney might be nearby. After a long examination of the pilots and their credentials, the agents said they had to check the plane for explosives. One of the pilots noted that the plane, full of aviation fuel, was already a bomb. Then Carol Paul, who has a pacemaker, refused to be screened, and an aide started taking video of the whole rotten process. At that point, the TSA backed down and let them through, to Texas and freedom.

That TSA surprise screening was probably the finger the Elite gave Ron for not having the audacity to show up. You guys do know that his name was attempted to be put in delegation by six states, but the RNC broke its own rules again  on the spot and wouldn't allow it. This is thuggery that would make Rahm Emmanuel and Axelrod proud. Keep voting for the lesser of two evils, ya'll --eventually you will vote us all into a concentration camp.

Rule Change = Dictatorship

Ben Swann got an interview with Mitt and Paul Ryan wherein he gets Mitt to reveal that he "knows nothin'" about the stripping of the Maine delegates. But Ben uses this piece to highlight that if Mitt gets his way with this new rule change, he'll be the one selecting all the RNC delegates in 2016, meaning that the grassroots will be mowed down permanently. This has not only Paulers upset, but your run of the mill Tea Party types like Dick Armey, Michelle Malkin and even Mark Levin.

So all you supporting Mitt Romney thinking you're going to "hold him accountable", just know he's trying to work it so that you can't. That's how much humility and respect he has for you and the process. You've been warned.

Update: They are blocking the Virginian delegation from voting on the rule change:

The Virginia and Rhode Island delegations are apparently being blocked from entering the Republican National Convention. They're keeping us all on a bus and not allowing us in the security perimeter.
Please share this news with your friends.

Ron Paul: Unplugged and Unapologetic

With an introduction by Rand, Ron demonstrates his knowledge of history, adherence to principle, and solid understanding of what being an American is all about.

This speech blows away anything the RINO RNC will put on in a million years, and is worth your time.

Oh, and here's why Dr. Paul isn't speaking at the RNC:

"Mr. Paul, in an interview, said convention planners had offered him an opportunity to speak under two conditions: that he deliver remarks vetted by the Romney campaign, and that he give a full-fledged endorsement of Mr. Romney. He declined.
“It wouldn’t be my speech,” Mr. Paul said. “That would undo everything I’ve done in the last 30 years. I don’t fully endorse him for president.”

Additional fun stuff:

RNC Breaks Its Own Rules

This Ben Swann report really does illustrate why voting doesn't matter anymore. This is Kangaroo Court territory where there is absolutely no integrity in the process. I feel like I'm watching something from a banana republic, but sadly it's my own country:

Whether or not you like Ron Paul delegates, everyone of them followed the rules to become a delegate. They worked hard with integrity and principle, but apparently, all it takes are well-connected people to dump them like garbage, unless of course they need them again to rearrange their little fantasy of grassroots support for Mitt.

Brandon Raub: Crazy Like a Fox?

Update: Brandon has been released! Many thanks to everyone who kept following this story, telling the Eschelon machine that we're watching what they're doing.

I'm seeing a lot of mixed reaction to Marine veteran Raub's facebook page. Since I don't have a Facebook page, I can't look at it to evaluate the posts in context. I have seen copies of the essays he's written that seem as though they would fit in on just about any libertarian/Constitutionalist website. Hack Wilson has a great round up of the most incindiary language. Maybe its because I graduated high school in the last 15 years, that I don't see the big deal with the vague war-like words. Maybe we should lock up poets and songwriters for using the words revolution, battle, and reckoning. The one phrase that's getting the most talk is the "sharpen my axe" quote, which in fact comes from a song by the hip-hop group Burning Members. Seriously, you could pull most of this kind of talk off of any Tea Party website. I know some bloggers who speak in bellacose terms, but that is not saying you're planning a "Day of the Jackyl" with your buddies on Facebook. People are intimating that Brandon Raub could have been planning something like that, but I don't know what they're reading.

I see a lot of people saying he could be like John Holmes or Timothy McVeigh. What people don't realize is that these mass shooters/domestic terrorists ALWAYS have a government handler, connections to the national security side of the government, and ususally a drill of the opertion is run right before the killing begins. Once the tradgedy happens, then the demonization kicks in with the media. And the same conservatives who say they don't trust the media, then begin trusting it like crazy. It rather makes me sick.

But getting back to Brandon and his comments, the one I found most  interesting was the one made on August 14, a couple days before his arrest. "The Revolution will come for me. Men will be at my door soon to pick me up to lead it."

Well, one week later, the man has made the Drudge report and has everyone talking about the NDAA, psychiatry as a weapon, and the First Amendment. Bravo, Brandon! You've just lead Brer Gov'ment into the Briar Patch. Listen as Brandon describeos his situation prior to being sent across the state to a VA hospital.


Listen as his buddy intimates that there is more going on here that he can't talk about:




Of course this is all a theory of mine, but until I learn differently, I'm starting to lean toward this being a false flag on the part of Raub. Notice the August 11 post where he admitted that his posts were changing. Was he pushing buttons to get "picked up?" Every political blogger makes the frog in the pot analogy, but I can see this pretty clear, using my recently learned history and my books of prophecy. You all know that Homeland Security is saying that returing veterans are the new probable terrorists. They say this with a straight face while the State Department is A-OK with the most radical Muslim funders in the world, Saudi Arabia, and the rent-a-terrorist Mujahdeen aka Al Qaeda. Yes, these are the very people that Raub was sent to supposedly put down. The military is always first to wake up to a tyrannical government, because they see it go down first hand.

And a statement by Oathkeepers:

Oath Keepers is coming to the aid of this young Marine veteran and our rallying cry will be "CHARGE HIM, OR RELEASE HIM." We cannot allow "mental illness" designations to be used as a weapon against political dissidents in America. See the below article by Brandon Smith for the disturbing facts regarding the use of mental health detention against Virginia Marine veteran Brandon Raub because of his constitutionally protected free speech on his.

Brandon has kicked a bees nest for sure, but was it so all of us out here can see how big the nest is?
