Alleged Bachmann Statement: NO to Gingrich

National Review Online ^

Posted on Thursday, January 19, 2012 5:00:39 PM by Windy City Conservative

For me, these past weeks have been filled with much prayer and personal reflection – which has provided some clarity. Ultimately, I recognize that endorsing a candidate is the responsible thing to do.

But it is far more responsible to ensure that candidate is one I can support with a strong conviction knowing, without any doubt, that they protect our values and have the ability to restore our nation’s greatness. With some doubt still present, I am not yet prepared to offer my endorsement, but look forward to doing so in the coming weeks.

According to FBI records, Marianne Gingrich attempted to make money by selling her influence to the highest bidder. The FBI concluded that Newt was unaware of Marianne’s actions. Following are excerpts from the FBI document:

“[Mrs. Gingrich] stated that her relationship with her husband was purely a relationship of convenience. She told the source that she needed her husband for economic reasons, and that he needed to keep her close because she knew of all his “skeletons.” Source stated that after requesting [Mrs.] Gingrich’s assistance in the above matter, she told him that her organization needed money. She also told source “It’s time for me to make money using my husband, and after we get started doing this, it will be easy.”

[history]I’m officially endorsing Newt Gingrich for president today. Was going to wait until after Florida, but see no reason to delay. We need Newt to win in South Carolina and Florida to stop any possible momentum building up for the establishment big government, statist, abortionist RINO!!RomneyCare = ObamaCare = government tyranny!! Taxpayer funded abortion is as evil as evil can be!!Newt is a pro-life Reagan Revolution conservative who led the Republican Revolution of the 90’s, taking the majority away from the democrats who had held it for 40 years.

And as Speaker, cut the taxes, cut the government, cut the spending, cut the deficit, cut regulations, cut unemployment, brought the federal budget under control for four years running. And unlike Romney, actually blocked a socialist healthcare system from becoming law. And created a pro-growth, pro-free market, pro-jobs environment and extended the Reagan economy throughout the 90’s!!

Newt is the ideal candidate to lead the Tea Party Revolution!!Newt plans to go to a 15% personal flat tax after deductions and a 12.5% corporate tax and eliminate the capital gains taxes altogether. He wants to privatize social security and medicare and eliminate the payroll tax.And he wants to neuter the EPA and the Fed. Repeal ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank and Sarbanes-Oxley. Fire all of the czars, dismantle the Marxist state and fire if not jail Bernanke.

And send 185 federal socialist welfare programs back to the states and the people, and return education back to local control.Newt will directly challenge the liberal activist judiciary and end the unconstitutional power grabs of our usurping black robed rulers.He wants to restore the constitutional balance of powers between the three branches and restore states rights and individual rights. He wants to turn government control back to the states and local people as the founders set it up.These are the kind of dramatic reductions in government that the tea party is demanding.

First Lady Michelle Obama is dismayed that she is perceived to be female, black and angry. Why can’t we see her for the angel she is? She devotes herself to helping military families become a new victim class, while Barry works to send 80,000 of them to the unemployment line. She shoulders the burden of being the only one in America to care what our kids eat. Well, it looks like phony baloney has been approved for the menu.

(Excerpt) Anarchy in the United States: A Closer Look at the Era of the Wild West | Strike-The-Root: A Journal Of Liberty

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

It is well known that commonly accepted history is not always what actually happened, so much as what has been propagated the most. There is, however, a level of comfort afforded those who may be mistaken regarding our past; after all, what is repeated most often becomes reality. The Wild West gained its colorful reputation through the propagation of dime store novels and poor Hollywood representations. The formation of the legendary Wild West show in 1883 by Buffalo Bill Hickok and others helped to spread the myths long before television. These shows, books and finally the movies demonized the Injuns and glorified the rough and tumble of the outlaw’s lifestyle. Instead of showing millions of people the truth, which would have never sold a book or a ticket, they showed the highlights. What was glorified and eventually memorialized via film by stalwarts like Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne were the negatives.

“Former CIA Director Panetta condemns Marines peeing on dead Taliban with “utterly deplorable” comment. Ain’t that the pot calling the kettle black? .”

by Ken Smith

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta on Thursday condemned as “utterly deplorable” a video that purports to depict four U.S. Marines urinating on the corpses of Taliban fighters, saying such behavior is “entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military” and those responsible will be held accountable.

Panetta said he had ordered the Marine Corps and Marine Gen. John Allen, the top commander of the NATO-led forces in Afghanistan, to fully investigate.

What my readers want to know is who can order an investigation of the actions of former CIA Director Panetta on the “black ops” missions that he ordered? Worldwide missions, not just in Iraq and Afghanistan, but Worldwide is what I am told.

Some actual operatives who participated in deep covert actions in Asia, South America and Africa are considering “spilling” the beans to the media, depending on what happens to these four Marines .

The Marine Corps said Wednesday it would investigate the YouTube video but had not yet verified its origin or authenticity. The case has been referred to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the Navy’s worldwide law enforcement arm…..

Doing Your Own Thing by Ben O’Neill

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

…..But in considering this freedom to do one’s own thing, we must consider exactly what we are to be free from.

Are we to be free from coercion by others – from violent interference with our bodies and our property? Are we to be free from being physically restrained or molested when we try to “do our own thing”? Or are we to be free from the adverse consequences of our actions? Even from adverse judgments by others?This is an important question, because these things are ultimately incompatible. If a person is to be free from the adverse judgments of others, then this means that each of those others must be forced to think and act against their own conscience – they must be forced to refrain from holding or expressing views that would upset those who are merely “doing their own thing.” But what if those others desire to follow their conscience – what if that is their “doing their own thing”? Similarly, if a person is to be free from the adverse consequences of their own actions, then this means that others must be forced to shield them from these consequences – they must be forced to contribute their resources and services to those who are “doing their own thing.” But what if those others desire to keep their own property and use it for themselves and their loved ones – what if that is them “doing their own thing”? Who’s “own thing” is to prevail?For the advocates of redistributive policies and antidiscrimination policies the answer is clear: the freedom to “do your own thing” entitles a person to the resources to support them, and immunity from criticism for their chosen lifestyle – it is just their own thing after all!

Prison Planet.com » Media Cover-up: Ron Paul’s Standing Not Discussed in Iowa Vote Reshuffle

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

Republican officials in Iowa today said that there was no clear winner in the caucus held there on January 3. Party officials said results from eight of the 1,774 precincts were missing when they conducted the vote certification process, meaning they likely will never know what the final tallies were for the candidates.

Despite the ambiguity, Rick Santorum was quick to declare a “virtual tie” in the race and the establishment media obliged him on the claim while ignoring how the change effected Ron Paul’s standing.

Media Cover up: Ron Paul’s Standing Not Discussed in Iowa Vote Reshuffle

Rick Santorum claims he is in a “virtual tie” with declared winner Mitt Romney.

According to the Iowa Caucus website, the certified results of 1,766 precincts made public Thursday show Santorum with 29,839 votes, followed by Romney with 29,805, Ron Paul in third with 26,036, and Newt Gingrich with 16,163, Rick Perry with 12,557, Michele Bachmann with 6,046 and Jon Huntsman with 739. Party officials said 121,503 votes were certified.

The admission of voting irregularities and uncounted votes in the state adds more weight to the argument that the race was fixed in order to discount Ron Paul and push him to the periphery in a concerted effort to minimize his popularity among voters and upstage the handpicked establishment candidates.

On January 4, we reported on the Republican establishment’s decision to conduct the vote count in secret after vague threats issued by the shadowy Anonymous hacker group and protests planned by Occupy the Iowa Caucus.

“Also abusing suddenly lax ID registration may have created many fake votes for neocons Santorum and Romney,” Brad Funkhouser wrote.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

In addition to ID problems, the Clinton County Republican Women’s Club reported mysterious “computer glitches” during the vote.

“This is the biggest fraud since Kennedy stole the West Virginia Primary,” Funkhouser said.

If, as Santorum claims, he is virtually tied with Romney in Iowa, that would mean Ron Paul came in second, not third. The establishment media has neglected to report this fact. Instead, it has ignored Paul and continued its campaign to portray Romney and Santorum as the only viable candidates wrestling to gain the nomination.

Moreover, a reshuffling of the vote will change the dynamics on delegates as the front-runners head into the Republican national convention in Tampa, Florida during the week of August 27, 2012.

Prison Planet.com » Sec 105 of SOPA threatens freedom of health speech, aligns with FDA Trilateral Cooperation Charter to potentially eliminate access to dietary supplements

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

Identifying threats to health freedom and freedom of health speech often requires connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated verbiage in one piece of legislation and a trade agreement, for instance, or reading between the lines to identify the full intent or scope of a provision or phrase added to an unrelated bill. And this is the case with the Stop Online Privacy ActSOPA, which contains language that could one day target websites that sell, promote, or otherwise talk about the benefits of dietary supplements.Section 105 of SOPA, entitledImmunity for Taking Voluntary Action Against Sites that Endanger Public Health, provisions that service providers, network providers, advertising services, search engines, domain name registry services, and other parties that handle internet content will be immune from prosecution should they decide to arbitrarily pull sites that “endanger the public health.”What is considered an endangerment of public health in SOPA? Websites that offer, sell, dispense, or distribute prescription medications without valid prescriptions, or sites that do the same with prescription medications that have been “adulterated or misbranded,” according to the section. The definitions of “misbranded,” “prescription medication,” “drug,” and “valid prescription,” are also notated with references in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the Controlled Substances Act.On the surface, these guidelines may seem appropriate as there are many websites out there selling fake prescription drugs to unsuspecting buyers.

These drug products often contain harmful additives or other inappropriate ingredients that can make patients sick, or even kill them. So it makes sense to allow service providers to shut these sites down, right?Regulatory convergences could one day reclassify dietary supplements as ‘drugs’

Prison Planet.com » President Obama Presents America With A Constitutional Crisis In More Ways Than One

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

1. In August 2010, journalist Wayne Madsen uncovered Obama’s deep roots in the CIA, writing:

“The nexus of Obama’s almae matres: Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard, as well as that of his parents, the University of Hawaii, in the CIA’s mind control, behavioral modification, and mass hypnosis projects is deeply troubling. The fact that Obama has failed to provide a full accounting of his past academic and professional employment history, coupled with the presence of a major CIA presence within his and his parents’, grandparents’, and step-father’s backgrounds opens up the real possibility that Obama was, to use the CIA’s own term, “nurtured,” for a higher calling.”

Despite billing himself as the “transparency” candidate in the 2008 presidential election, President Barack Obama has failed to inform the American people about his background in the CIA and the history of his family’s connections to the CIA.

It is a crime and act of treason that Obama is lying about his past and that his CIA handlers have covered up his tracks to the White House. The fact that the Agency has an asset in the White House makes the entire democratic process in America a farce, and is a direct attack on the Constitution.

2. Barack Obama has not yet provided proof to the American people that he is a natural-born citizen, making him ineligible for the office of the President. In April 2011, the Obama administration produced a birth certificate after many requests, but it was a forgery.

It could be that his birth certificate was a deliberated forgery, perhaps intended to provoke doubt, discussion, and debate within the minds of millions which would eventually lead to a constitutional crisis. Otherwise, why would his CIA handlers have done such a sloppy job at proving his place of birth?

The masters of Obama are not incompetent fools, but professional manipulators of reality who know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing it for. It is very likely that their goal is to engineer a constitutional crisis in the United States. So they have purposely allowed a constitution crisis to unfold by selecting a CIA asset and foreign born citizen to serve in the White House during a time of political evolution and global change.

Why would they want to present to the public a fake birth certificate and engineer a constitutional crisis? Maybe they didn’t want to silence public doubts about Obama’s background and birth, but to raise them to a point that an unprecedented state of crisis and chaos will be reached. At the end of the day, a state of crisis and chaos is what they want. A constitutional and political crisis in Washington would bring into public view the prepackaged solution waiting in the wings: world government run by banksters.

 

3. On September 9, 2009, NBC Chicago reported that “Barack Obama is set to become the first-ever U.S. president to chair the United Nations’ 15-member Security Council.” President Obama was declared the acting head of the United Nations Security Council, a symbolic act that went over well with anti-democratic internationalist technocrats everywhere.

Obama essentially revoked his status as an American leader and showed off his other identity as a global leader in a global political body. Whether this is good or bad is for you to judge, but it does signify a constitutional crisis in the United States which must be resolved sooner or later.

Obama is not honest about how he views prospects for an international state and the role of the United States in the United Nations. He and his masters do not want a debate. They just want to steamroll the process of global transformation, but history does not work that way. People’s democratic sentiments are in the way of draconian change in the political systems of the West.

The war between authoritarianism and democracy is at the heart of Western political changes in the 21st century, and it has to be fought out in the open, with arguments and facts. People will not be coerced into a global tyranny.

4. Leading presidential candidate Ron Paul said back in February 2011 that Obama is a “war monger.” Indeed, Obama is the war candidate in 2012. He is running on a record of terror and mass murder.

President Obama has taken America to war without declaring it outright and stating the objectives as it is required by the U.S. Constitution. He also has not enlightened the American people about the truth about the false flag 9/11 attacks and the real reasons for American aggression in foreign lands (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Uganda, Somalia, Syria, and Iran).

By embracing an endless war on terror that is completely illegitimate, illegal, and false, Obama has exasperated the constitutional crisis in the United States and the political crisis in the world. His criminal actions have not reflected his diplomatic words, and has made America an even bigger joke than it was when Bush was holding the presidential megaphone.

5. On the last day of 2011, President Obama…..

In the New Year, activists have turned their ire to regulatory agencies, asking the government to pick winners and losers in private industry. Most recently, an association of pharmacies has demanded the Federal Trade Commission arbitrarily restrict the pharmaceutical industry rather than allowing businesses to respond to consumer demands.In pursuit of this goal, the National Association of Chain Drugstores has launched a scare campaign: TooBigToPlayFair.com. The NACD alleges that a merger between two Pharmacy Benefit Managers companies that work with both drug companies and insurers to provide effective and affordable prescription assistance; in this case two successful enterprises, Express Scripts and Medco Health Solutions would allow the companies to become a monopoly in the pharmaceutical market.

(“Web giant blacklists websites, follows government orders to remove material”) ~ Google Is Already Using SOPA-Like Censorship

Web giant blacklists websites, follows government orders to remove material

Despite Google’s much-heralded support for the anti-SOPA movement, the web giant is already enforcing SOPA-like policies of its own, blacklisting legitimate websites from its news aggregator and following government orders to remove material from its search results and You Tube.

Google Is Already Using SOPA Like Censorship google

As major Internet giants joined forces yesterday to protest legislation that would hand the U.S. government power to arbitrarily seize websites with no legal process under the pretext of copyright infringement, Google slapped a black censorship image over its logo and urged people to sign an anti-SOPA petition that has accrued over 5 million signees.

However, Google’s main issue with SOPA is seemingly not related to their concerns about Chinese-style web censorship becoming commonplace, but rather which entity gets to wield those powers – large transnational corporations or governments.

While Google criticizes SOPA publicly, it is already privately using SOPA-like powers to unfairly marginalize legitimate web content.

Google News is a content aggregator that allows users to search thousands of news sources for relevant stories. Although the aggregator includes a plethora of obscure, occasionally offensive, and barely-read websites, in November 2010 Google took the decision to de-list PrisonPlanet.com and Infowars.com from its indexed news sources.

Infowars.com alone is an internationally recognized news website that gets more traffic than MSNBC.com and innumerable other big mainstream news websites. Our articles are routinely featured on the Drudge Report, which itself is renowned as the primary agenda-setting news website in the United States, driving more traffic to individual stories than the likes of Facebook and Twitter combined.

Infowars owner Alex Jones is a nationally syndicated radio host whose broadcast appears on an ever-expanding list of big mainstream radio stations. Jones has been afforded feature profiles by the likes of Rolling Stone Magazine, who acknowledged his role as a pioneer in the media world.

Infowars.com is clearly a legitimate and important news website that features original content which routinely makes an impact and occasionally goes viral. And yet Google de-listed the website from its news aggregator on a whim with no explanation provided. Since Google and its owner Eric Schmidt are prominent financial contributors to the Obama campaign, we can only assume we were blacklisted for political reasons.

Whether you concur with our political stance or are rapidly against it, what can’t be argued is that we are a legitimate news outfit – but Google has arbitrarily banned us from appearing on their ‘news’ search results.

This is a clear example of how Google is already enforcing SOPA-like rules of its own choosing, without the need for any law to be passed by any legislative body.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

In addition, while concerns rage about the state obtaining the power to shut down websites and remove web content with no recourse, Google is already following orders from the federal government in the majority of cases in removing videos from its You Tube platform, including takedowns on the grounds that the videos contain “government criticism”.

Google-owned You Tube has complied with thousands of requests worldwide to remove political protest videos that are clearly not in violation of any copyright or national security interests and do not constitute defamation.

The Emperor Barack…Michael Reagan

The Emperor BarackTownhall.com ^ | January 19, 2012 | Michael ReaganPosted on Thursday, January 19, 2012 9:57:46 AM by KaslinMuch like one of his predecessors, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Barack Obama has all but declared war on the United States Supreme Court.It will be remembered that in 1937 FDR was angry over the high court’s refusal to put a stamp of approval on much of his New Deal agenda, and sought to bend the court to his will by adding new members to the existing court membership.Contemptuously calling the court’s members a collection of “nine old men,” FDR sought to “pack” the high court with up to six additional members more likely to do his bidding. The proposal lost steam and, thankfully, failed.Mr. Obama has not gone quite that far — yet. But he’s getting close. Like most U.S. presidents who chafe under the high court’s authority to rule on the constitutionality of aspects of their agendas, Obama is unhappy with the court’s failure to recognize the divinity of his proposals, if not that of his personhood.Too bad. As we are often reminded, “Into each life some rain must fall.”Thanks to the high court, Mr. Obama has been much in need of an umbrella of late. The president’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was correctly overruled in a case involving religious freedom. The court clearly stated that the First Amendment protects churches in their decisions regarding workers with religious duties, a “ministerial exception” to employment-discrimination laws.

This exception had already been supported by lower courts and many states.Tragically for Mr. Obama and his vastly elevated ego, choirs of angels singing of the glories of his agenda cannot be heard. Despite the frantic efforts of his captive media to tune them in, the president remains a mere mortal, subject to all the slings and arrows that always target any holder of high office.Soon the issue before the court will be Mr. Obama’s health care program, rammed through Congress despite the widespread opinion that it was, and remains, nothing short of an opening to national socialized medicine. A ruling is expected by early July.The question is whether the Constitution’s Commerce Clause can be stretched beyond recognition to reach into everyone’s pocketbook with the Obamacare mandate. We pray that the Supreme Court will put the question to rest with an emphatic rejection.

Lee Duigon — The Only Sane Man in America

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

“There is no such thing as sin,” writes an anonymous self-proclaimed atheist. “Never has been, never will be.”He wrote this because my Bell Mountain novels offend him. He watched a youtube video created by a friend of mine, Dave from Syracuse, in which I try to answer the question, “What’s Bell Mountain All About?” You can see it for yourself here.I am acquainted with, and even friendly with, a few atheists who can carry on a civil conversation, but this Richard Dawkins-wannabe isn’t one of them. I don’t know his name, so for the purposes of this discussion, I will refer to him as Nobody. I am aware that “he” might be a she, but I doubt it matters.Mr. or Ms. Nobody gets off to a flying start: “[Expletive]-wits like this guy—“ that’s me—“are the reason the US is in such bad shape. We do NOT need people who take the crap in the bible [sic] or Quran, or other holy books seriously.”Now, all I’ve done is to write a few novels that this poor clown is perfectly at liberty not to read. Indeed, he almost certainly hasn’t read them, despite the impassioned venom of his comments. But somehow it’s my fault, along with the other [expletive]-wits, that the United States “is in such bad shape.

Juan Williams Is a Toilet By Tim Graham Created 01/19/2012 – 8:31amWhile several media liberals have praised Juan Williams of Fox News for pushing around Newt Gingrich with the idea that his campaign rhetoric is at best insensitive to black Americans, Chauncey DeVega at the Daily Kos is sticking to the theory that Williams is a tool of racist Republicans: “Juan Williams is an object of abuse, a means to prove a point. Juan Williams is a paid pinata for white conservatives.”Or Williams is a toilet: “Juan Williams is/was a repository for the fecal matter of white conservative bigotry, and a need to maintain superiority over negroes who dare not to step off of the sidewalk when white folks pass.” Or Williams is actually “coprophagic,” he eats feces:That in another life Juan Williams would be a critic of “negro agitators” during the Civil Rights movement is coincidental to his designated role on Fox News: he is exemplary of Joel Kovel‘s theories about white supremacy, and how it manifests as a White society which is collectively and individually stuck in the fecal phase of human psychological development — it is all over his face.

Image via Wikipedia

Melting Point Ankle Boot

Gen. Martin Dempsey arrives Thursday, Jan. 19, for his first visit to Israel as Chairman of the Joint US Chiefs of Staff amid a major falling-out between the two governments over the handling of Iran’s nuclear weapon potential.

DEBKAfile’s military and Washington sources confirm that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands by the view that Iran is advancing its plans to build a nuclear bomb full speed ahead, undeterred even by the threat of harsher sanctions. Netanyahu therefore stands by his refusal of President Barack Obama’s demand for a commitment to abstain from a unilateral strike on Iran’s nuclear sites without prior notice to Washington.

The US president repeated this demand when he called the Israeli prime minister Thursday night Jan. 13. Netanyahu replied that, in view of their disagreement on this point, he preferred to cancel the biggest US-Israel war game ever staged due to have taken place in April. The exercise was to have tested the level of coordination between the two armies in missile defense for the contingency of a war with Iran or a regional conflict.

The prime minister was concerned that having large-scale US military forces in the country would restrict his leeway for decision-making on Iran.

In an effort to limit the damage to relations with the US administration, Defense Minister Ehud Barak struck a conciliatory note Wednesday, Jan. 18, saying, “Israel is still very far from a decision on attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.”

Striking the pose of middleman, he was trying to let Washington know that there was still time for the US and Israel to reach an accommodation on whether and when a strike should take place.

(“Republican politicians are so afraid of the issue. They are complicit in the cover-up.”) Col Sellin: Want to Stop Obama? Then Boycott Republican Candidates| The Post & Email

…..There is only one option remaining to restore the Constitution and uphold the rule of law: refuse to vote for any Republican candidate in 2012 until Obama’s ineligibility and his fraudulent behavior are openly discussed and objectively investigated.

That alone will go a long way towards solving the problem of corruption in Washington, D.C.

And that is why Republican politicians are so afraid of the issue. They are complicit in the cover-up.

The Republican Party is playing on our fears of a second Obama Administration to ignore violations of the Constitution and to maintain the corrupt status quo.

If Republicans only want to save their skins and are not willing to save the Constitution and the country, then patriots must force them to do so by withholding our votes.

Prison Planet.com » Gingrich Scandal Could Hand Ron Paul Shock Second Place Finish

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

A bombshell interview with Newt Gingrich’s ex-wife set to air tonight could catapult Ron Paul into a shock second placed finish in South Carolina and confirm the Congressman as Mitt Romney’s main rival.

Gingrich Scandal Could Hand Ron Paul Shock Second Place Finish newt gingrich mad

The interview with Marianne Gingrich, Newt’s wife of 18 years, “could end her ex-husband’s career,” according to a Drudge Report exclusive.

Despite a “civil war” erupting within ABC News over whether or not to air the interview before Saturday’s primary, the broadcast will go out tonight on Nightline, less than 48 hours before SC voters head to the polls.

Gingrich is set to hold a press conference today during which he will try to engage in damage control.

With current polls showing Gingrich in second place behind Romney, with Ron Paul and Rick Santorum virtually tied in third, any collapse in Gingrich’s support on the back of the interview would directly benefit the candidates immediately behind him in the polls.

If Ron Paul beats Santorum to second in South Carolina, and the scandal torpedoes Gingrich’s wider presidential campaign, it would virtually guarantee a Romney-Paul head to head for the rest of the primary contest.

Prison Planet.com » Resistance is Victory: The Tide Is Turning

January 19, 2012 Leave a comment

When The People take the battlefield in the Infowar, they begin to have victories. Here’s just a few examples of recent victories– both partial and whole– from the campaign to Stop SOPA, to Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign, the movement to remove dangerous chemicals from our food, water and vaccines, to the battle to stop the police state, stave off carbon taxes and rebuff the arrogance in Washington– with many more victories to come in 2012.

Ideas are bulletproof. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton herself admitted that the big brother state was losing the Infowar to new media. Remember what Victor Hugo said: ‘No army can stop an idea whose time has come.’ The New World Order is on the run, so join the resistance– your country needs you.

Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul has promised to do everything within his power to ensure the draconian Protect IP Act (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) are not brought to a vote.

Paul says he will filibuster PIPA in the Senate owing to the fact that the bill is a direct threat to the First Amendment.

“Both PIPA and SOPA give the federal government unprecedented and unconstitutional power to censor the Internet,” Paul said in a statement. “These bills enable the government to shut down websites that it deems guilty of violating copyright laws.”

Paul continued: “While we support copyright protections, we are also concerned about websites being shut down without their day in court, and making innocent third parties bear the costs of solving someone else’s problems.

Politico ^ | 1/19/2012 | By MJ LEE

President Barack Obama is poorly positioned with key independents less than a year away from Election Day, with less than a third of swing voters expressing a favorable opinion of the president in a new poll.

Just 31 percent of independent voters indicated a favorable opinion of the president in a New York Times/CBS News poll out Thursday, compared to a 38 percent favorability rating among all voters.
