Ron Paul Strikes Gold
Why the oft-marginalized congressman is the greatest threat to Obama’s regulatory plan

Ron Paul’s legislative history is a lesson in principled failure. Among the bills he has co-sponsored: ending U.S. cooperation with the United Nations, a repeal of antitrust law “to restore the inherent benefits of the market economy,” and stripping the government of the right to set a minimum wage. Just last week, he again introduced a bill “to repeal the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990,” which would presumably make schools less safe but which would reinforce our right to bear arms. For Paul, ideology almost always trumps politics.
None of these bills, I should note, have picked up much support. And Paul’s track record with economic legislation isn’t any better. His perennial efforts – shifting the country back toward a gold standard, abolishing the personal income tax, and dismantling the Federal Reserve – are nonstarters. They so change the very fabric of this country that Paul can’t marshal his colleagues to his side.
Which is why Paul’s most recent legislative accomplishment is so impressive. He has rallied the majority of the House to support his new cause: an audit of the Federal Reserve. Legislators are sick of not knowing what’s going on inside Bernanke’s fortress, especially as the Fed becomes further enmeshed in the nation’s fiscal policy. Paul’s little bill has become emblematic of a larger movement, one that could spell trouble for Obama’s troubled regulatory plan. Ron Paul – always an enemy of regulation – is now an enemy of Obama. And a mighty powerful one at that.
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Paul wants to audit the Fed primarily because he wants to destroy it; the audit bill is just the latest chapter in Paul’s lifelong crusade against it. His vendetta is fueled by the belief that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, a central bank within a country that doesn’t allow central banks. That the Fed can manipulate the currency and “create legal tender out of thin air” is heresy. And so Paul attempts to dismantle it the only way he can: through legislation.
Thus we come to the audit. For Paul it’s a foot in the door to a much larger goal. To the 244 co-sponsors – 74 of them Democrats – it’s a way to show their constituents that they’re worried, too, about where taxpayer dollars are going. It’s an amusing dissonance between the leader of the rebellion and his revolutionaries. The two parties are after entirely separate goals, one (transparency) vastly more achievable than the other (the end of the Federal Reserve).
This again makes Paul’s coalition all the more remarkable. The distrust of the Fed has reached a point at which a majority of House members are following a radical into battle. Congress’ frustration was evident last month when Bernanke got roasted in front of Congress, putting his future as Fed chairman and the health of Obama’s regulatory plan in doubt.

God bless Ron Paul, but he is not going to accomplish anything… The lawmakers are fooled into believing they actually make the laws, but the elites do. Obama is a puppet for the New World Order and is only doing what he is told, just like everybody did what they were told after Kennedy was killed by the CIA. Only a revolution involving the people of this country can bring about real change. Refuse Vaccinations, refuse microchipping, buy MMS, stock up on food, survival gear, and water, and get your guns ready, but do not fire first! 2012 and the governments of the world are the real threats to humanity… They’re going to poison us all, or at least try to. they could never invade the citizens because behind every blade of grass in America, there is a gun. It’s a war they could never win if they provoked the people, but poison is really easy and a lot less messy. MMS will keep you safe and immuned to whatever they throw at you, not to mention is cures just about every known disease to man. You won’t hear about this stuff on the news or from your doctor. Look it up!

Dr. Bill Deagle in a Project Camelot interview said that MMS has some toxicity associated with it. That and he said something about an alternative that uses oxygen as the active ingredient to the same effect as MMS. Here is the transcript of the interview with Project Camelot’s Kerry Cassidy (http://www.projectcamelot.net/....._2009.html ).
On the paragraph he says that MMS is a chlorine dioxide “and it has been used for many years to kill pathogens. The problem is: any chlorinated molecule will attach to amide groups of amino acids so as well as an antipathogenic it also displaces iodine from the mitochondria so can cause problems with toxicity, so I wouldn’t recommend MMS.”
Note, he did not say that it WILL cause toxicity he says there is a small chance. I’ll try it. MMS will protect us and is safer for you than what the NWO has planned for all of us.

They are going to take away our food, our water, our guns, our gas, our electric, and our cars… This my friends is the beginning stages of population control… Look up “The Georgia Guidestones”, and see for yourselves what the de-population goal is.

we have a messed up voting system so by the time actual presidential election’s rolls around we have two people to choose from and this time the choice was between endless war or peace.

I’m all for getting the United States out of the UN. I don’t like the idea that a body of countries can tell the U.S. what to do. I keep pushing my senator who has yet to co sponsor the S. 604 that will also help in H.R. 1207,passed. I told my senators that if he and she refuse to co sponsor this bill. that I will do everything I can to inform the voters not to vote for them again. The thought of bringing back the gold ans even the silver standard is a great idea. You will be able to buy more goods and services if we had a strong dollar backed by gold and silver.

Congress is not worried about what their constitutents think about anything! What Congress is really worried about is that the Fed is usurping Congress’s power of the purse! The Fed is stealing and spending trillions of dollars. And the Fed is unelected! If the Fed spends $30 Trillion in the coming year, what will be left for Congress to spend? Congress is a pack of thieving, tyrannical assholes, with few exceptions – two being Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich.
Do you think for one minute that the majority of Congress-critters are “worried” about the unconstituional nature of the Fed? Not! They hate the Constitution! They don’t believe in the Constitution! They want to do away with the Constitution! That has nothing to do with it!
The Fed has usurped Congress’s power and it has become totally ceremonial! It is nothing! It is nothing but a rubber stamp for the executive! Wake up, people!

The united states has gone bankrupt numerous times in its’ history but the signifacant one was in 1933 when they turned over control of the government to the Federal Reserve. FDR called everyone’s gold in and declared a constitutional rule that “only gold and silver” will be legal tender (article 1, sec.10) null and void without so much as an ammendment to change it. THATS treason. He then told the supreme court he would appoint as many new “justices” as it took to get his way (TREASON). Wake up, declare your Sovereignty and be released from taxes, and every other legislated “law”. We live in a Republic not a democracy. “Republican government. One in which the powers of sovereignty are vested in the people and are exercised by the people, either directly, or through representatives chosen by the people, to whom those powers are specially delegated. In re Duncan, 139 U.S. 449, 11 S.Ct. 573, 35 L.Ed. 219; Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. (21 Wall.) 162, 22 L.Ed. 627.” Black’s Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, p. 626.

Flood Chairman Barney Frank with letters and emails and make sure this does not sit there. It is a very important step to crack open the feds.

Let’s see how this starts to play out on Monday 7/6…when the senate allegedly will return.
It’s likely they used the House to see how much cover they would have to take ,if they even indicated they would pass it, the alleged Energy Bill. Let’s see if they try to shove this down our throats, like all the other recent crap. It does appear that something incredibly dark and evil is happening, right now. It’s a lot of paper, but you might want to have a little get together with your friends, and start reading through it… it’s terrifying, at least.

In 1913 then President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. This is what he said about it after he realized what he had done:
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country… Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all of our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world – no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
DOWN WITH THE FED!!! GOD BLESS RON PAUL!!!

Economic and classical warfare are conducted in similar ways:
-they take away your weapons,shut off your water and sewer,shut off the electricity,make it difficult for you to find food.
And then they wait for you to accept their terms for surrender.
Grow a garden,hunt and fish,relearn all of those things that were forgotten.
But remember to respect the environment,it is what gave you life.
It may not seem to be so pertinent,that which I have just written,but look ahead,ponder the outcome of this mess we face…………

I see that point 3 of the Georgia Guidestones is “unite humanity with a living new language”
Unfortunately there is no mention of Esperanto which indeed is a living new language.
Can I ask your readers to have a look at http://video.google.com/videop.....8991452670
