Splitting the vote

The Republican National Convention was a complete disgrace. As I mentioned in my previous article, the establishment just took a huge power grab, and stomped all over the grassroots movements.

Chris Littleton nails it with his article ‘The GOP can because you’ll take it’ Please click on the link and take a few minutes to read it.

The time for party pandering is over. On the national scale, we must show the establishment on both sides who’s boss.

Think about it, if 1/3 of the republicans vote libertarian, and 1/3 of the liberals vote libertarian, we’ll have  a majority to get Obama out of office, and prevent his twin Romney from getting in too.

What many don’t understand is, though Obama is a terrible president, he is not much different than Bush. Both voted for liberty stripping bills such as the Patriot act and NDAA, both passed stimulus, and both ran up the deficit. Mitt Romney is no different either. And although many call Obama a socialist and many other names under the sun, what many don’t realize is that Mitt Romney would have even more power over us than Obama, and wouldn’t do much, if anything to change his policies.

Ask yourself this; ‘What is the motivation of our current presidential candidates for office? For liberty and freedom? Or for more power, wealth and control?’

So which is better? Having a National Socialist or a Soviet Socialist as president?

I say neither.

Many argue that we shouldn’t split the vote, but I ask the question ‘which vote?’

I think we should split the tyranny of the big government Obama/Romney ticket and vote for Gary Johnson.

There are enough disenfranchised voters on both sides of the political spectrum. What many on the right do not realize is that the liberals are not all ‘commies’ and ‘welfare whores’ but rather many of them voted for Obama because he campaigned as a centrist and promised to bring the troops home. When he gained office he simply continued on the same path of massive spending and warmongering as president Bush.

If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are no better than an Obama supporter because you are ignoring all the facts about Romney’s big liberal voting record. And to say that he was an entrepreneur is a joke. Romney’s business did not create jobs, he simply stripped assets and sent jobs over seas. Sure Obama never held a real job in his life, but the line between a looter and moocher is very thin.

It’s time to man up and send a clear message to Washington; the time for big government and good ol’ boy establishment politics is over.

I say we split the vote on both sides, and return to freedom!

Gary Johnson 2012!

The revolution continues!

We all knew it was unlikely that Ron Paul would be elected at the GOP convention. Mitt Romney’s band of thugs managed to strip too many delegates from Ron Paul by dirty tricks, and the establishment had its way.

Ron Paul’s Maine delegates erupt after getting barred from Republican convention:

But the revolution continues!

Think of Ron Paul as Obi Wan from Star Wars when he warns Darth Vader “if you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine” The shameless way that the Romney camp has stripped Ron Paul of his delegates from multiple states, and the shameless way that the establishment GOP has prevented him from speaking at the convention will reverberate throughout the nation.

We have already had many successful battles in the face of unbridled tyranny. Bones have been broken. We have been locked out and barred from our own party. But life always finds a way, and so will liberty.

Ron Paul’s latest battle is over, but the war is not lost.

And there is another…

Gary Johnson is registered in all 50 states for the Libertarian Party. He was Republican Governor of New Mexico and vetoed over 700 bills while in office. He was an entrepreneur and created a very successful company employing over a thousand workers. He understands true liberty, he’ll balance the budget, and bring our troops home.

We the supporters of true capitalism and true liberty in the Ron Paul revolution will lead the charge after the shenanigans of the 2012 election are all said and done, no matter who becomes president. Ron Paul standing up for principles is a far stronger message for liberty than giving an edited speech at the convention.

Sorry GOP, but the establishment days are over, you just dug your own grave. Perhaps we’ll revive you next time around, if you don’t get in our way. The liberty movement is growing. We will not be stopped, freedom will be restored in this nation, and the tyrants will fall in our wake. This new wave of liberty is growing every day, and it will not be stopped. “An idea who’s time has come, cannot be stopped by any army or any government!” – Ron Paul

The Ron Paul revolution is not over, it’s only just begun!

Sign the petition

I recently wrote a couple of articles about Brandon Raub and how he was indefinitely detained against his will.

This petition is from ‘Revolution Pac‘ Please sign the petition to stop more people like Brandon Raub from being indefinitely detained.

http://revolutionpac.com/petition-to-attorney-general-ken-cuccinelli/

It is up to us as the individuals to stand up against government tyranny. We must sign petitions and force the government to abide by the constitution. To truly water the tree of liberty, we must work at the grassroots with petitions like this one to rejuvenate the country ‘from the bottom up’ and weed out the corrupt politicians and abusers of the system.

 

Do you know of any petitions that should be signed? Please post links to petition sites in the comment section, and I’ll be sure to feature them in future articles and on my new Facebook page.

Criminals in Tampa

Did you know that Mitt Romney is a criminal?

Mitt Romney accepted financing for his campaign from Israelis during his trip to Israel. As you all know; accepting contributions from foreigners is illegal and is a felony.

Supreme Court Retains Ban on Foreign Campaign Donations

Do we really want to elect a felon to the presidency?

Ron Paul’s record is clean and pristine. He has served in the military. He has upheld the constitution at every turn. He has never raised taxes. Ron Paul is the only clear choice to restore peace, freedom, and sanity to this great nation.

Good luck to all the Ron Paul patriots in Tampa, our hearts are with you as you move to save the republic!

Give me liberty or give me death!

9/11 conspiracy theories

More money was spent on the Monica Lewinsky trial than on the deaths of over 3000 people from the 9/11 attacks.

I remember where I was the day that these attacks happened. I was still living in England at the time and was just getting out of school (remember the time difference). When I got to my mum’s car, she had a weird look on her face, and she looked scared. “what’s wrong?” I asked. “America is under attack” was her reply. We listened to the radio the whole way home, and I was trying to picture what was happening in my mind. When we got home we turned on the news and witnessed the horrific events unfold before our eyes. I was only 13 years old at the time, and for years I believed that it was Al Qaeda, and I supported (even thought I was only a teenager) the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. Now that I am in my mid twenties, I no longer support any kind of foreign intervention, and I believe there was a lot more to the 9/11 attacks than meets the eye.

I’ve written about 9/11 before, but upon researching more articles and documentaries, I’ve come across more information on the deadly attacks.

The first one ‘the elephant in the room’ is from underground documentaries, and its from a British person’s point of view; as he goes to New York to investigate more about the aftermath of the event:

The second documentary is from Jesse Ventura, and deals more with what brought the towers down:

Please watch these videos in their entirety and watch the videos from my previous post, to get a well rounded look at all the evidence from that fateful day.

The media has tried to cover up the actions and spin them from a certain point of view. They even ran propaganda to start wars; with the excuse of the 9/11 attacks as justification to invade foreign countries. This makes the 9/11 attacks look more like an inside job and equates to a false flag event to start wars. Look at how vicious Bill O’Reilly is with a victim of the 9/11 attacks when he goes against the wars that the media is supporting:

Now I’m not interested in starting any arguments or spreading conspiracy theories, but there is an enormous amount of evidence which points to suspicious activities surrounding the event. I’m only interested in finding out the truth, so that the families of the dead can move on. And so that the wars that have been started because of these events can end.

Please spread the videos around and do your own research. It has become completely apparent that the mainstream media will not cover any stories that go against the status quo, so it is essential that we inform ourselves and make up our own minds.

Hurricane Paul is brewing

There is a storm heading toward the convention in Tampa this week. Hurricane Paul is about to make landfall!

http://www.policymic.com/articles/13307/ron-paul-at-the-rnc-forget-hurricane-isaac-hurricane-paul-is-the-real-storm-that-is-brewing

The bought and paid for mainstream media is blacking out the vote on the convention floor, and the Romney and GOP establishment group has pulled out all the stops to prevent Ron Paul’s delegates from voting at the convention.

Today, a U.S. District judge agreed with the points we made last night, that Brandon’s constitutional rights had been violated. Today, Brandon Raub has been released.

“In court Thursday, the judge said that the petition was blank and didn’t list a single allegation against him. The judge said Raub suffered a “deprivation of his liberty” by being held without a clear claim.”- WWBT TV

The Truth – by Brandon Raub

After doing more research on Brandon Raub, I find myself agreeing with him on much of what he says. This is a post he made on his Facebook on November 11th 2011:

The Truth
by Brandon J Raub on Friday, November 11, 2011 at 10:00 am

America has lost itself. We have lost who we truly are. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

This is the land of Thomas Jefferson.

This is the land of Benjamin Franklin.

This is the land of Fredrick Douglas.

This is the land of Smedley Butler.

This is the land John F. Kennedy.

This is the land of Martin Luther King.

This is the land where the cowboy wins. This is the land where you can start from the bottom and get to the top. This is the land where regardless of you race and ethnicity you can succeed and build a better life for you and your family. This is the land where every race coexists peacefully. This is the land where justice wins. This is the land where liberty dwells. This is the land where freedom reigns. This is the land where we help the poor, and people help each other. This is land where people beat racism.

The Federal Reserve is wrong. They have designed a system based off of greed and fear. They designed a system to crush the middle class between taxes and inflation. This is wrong, and it is unjust. It is wrong.

We have allowed ourselves to be deceived and seduced by the powers of the printing press. It is not a good system. It discourages saving: the foundation for all stable economic activity. The Federal Reserve is artificially manipulating interest rates and creating phony economic data.

This thing has deceived our entire nation.

They created it in 1913. They also created the income tax in 1913. They encouraged the growth of debt so they can tax you on it. There is interest on the debt. Your government is in bed with these people. They want to enslave you to the government so that they can control every aspect of your lives. It is an empire based on lies. They operate of greed and fear.

There is a better way. It’s called freedom. Freedom is called a lot of things. But there is a true meaning. It means very simply that you have the right to do whatever you want as long as you are not infringing on the freedoms of other people.

I firmly believe that God set America apart from the other nations of the world. He saved a place where people could come to to escape bad systems of goverment. This system we have created works. It really works.

There is evil going on all around the world. The United States was meant to lead the charge against injustice, but through our example not our force. People do not respond to having liberty and freedom forced on them.

Men and Women follow courage. They follow leadership, and courage. Our example has paved the way for people all around the world to change their forms of government.

Force is not the way because liberty is a powerful concept. The idea that men can govern themselves is the basis for every just form of government.

We can govern ourselves. We do not need to be governed by men who want to install a one world banking system. These men have machine hearts. Machine and unnatural hearts.

They have blocked out the possibility of a better world. They fear human progress. They have monopolies on everything.

This life can be free and beautiful. There are enough resources on this earth to support the world’s population. There are enough resources on this earth to feed everyone. There is enough land for everyone to own their own land and farm, and produce their own energy.

These people have been hiding technology. There are ways to create power easily. There is technology that can provide free cheap power for everyone. There are farming techniques that can feed the entire world.

The Bill of Rights is being systematically dismantled. Men have spilled their blood for those rights.

Your sons and daughters, your brothers and sisters, and Americas best young men and women are losing their limbs. They are losing their lives. They are losing the hearts. They do not know why they are fighting. They are killing. And they do not know why.

They have done some extraordinary acts. Their deeds go before them. But these wars are lies. They are lies. They deceived our entire nation with terrorism. They have gotten us to hand them our rights. Our Rights! Men died for those rights!

September Eleventh was an inside job. They blew up a third building in broad daylight. Building 7.

Your leaders betrayed you.

You elected an aristocracy. They are beholden to special interests. They were brainwashed through the Council on Foreign Relations. Your leaders are planning to merge the United States into a one world banking system. They want to put computer chips in you.

These men have evil hearts. They have tricked you into supporting corporate fascism. We gave them the keys to our country. We were not vigilant with our republic.

There is hope. BUT WE MUST TAKE OUR REPUBLIC BACK!

http://www.facebook.com/brandon.raub

Brandon’s Facebook page in many ways looks like mine. I post many articles, quotes and pictures on a daily bases. The difference is that I don’t say anything that would lead people to think I’m inciting violence. Some of his comments could be misconstrued that way.

I wonder if he knew that if he posted enough, he would be picked up? He doesn’t seem like a dangerous person to me, but perhaps ‘the authorities’ thought he might be another James Holmes, and go on a rampage.

The things that Brandon was posting on his facebook page make a lot of sense to those of us who have become aware of the corrupt system that works behind the scenes. Our republic really is under threat from multiple groups right now.

“I feel like I am standing at a great crossroads. As if a storm of destiny is about to pick me up and take me to fight a great battle. A battle I could have never imagined existed” – Brandon Raub

If he chose to make a scene of himself on facebook to get picked up and expose the tyranny that has gripped our nation, then I say more power to him. Non-violence is a far stronger weapon than some idiot going on a killing rampage. I think the heros like Brandon have seen enough bloodshed from our fruitless and unconstitutional wars in the middle east.

“Sharpen up my axe; I’m here to sever heads.” – Brandon Raub, August 13th 2012

I believe his ‘sever heads’ comment is only a metaphor, as you can certainly sever other peoples arguments when you sharpen your blade on the grindstone of truth.

Whatever Brandon’s intent on Facebook, whether he, like myself is just out there to expose the truth, or whether he was just venting, or imploring others to do their own research and join him in the argument for liberty. Then I say he is a hero for exposing the system for what it is.

“The Revolution will come for me. Men will be at my door soon to pick me up to lead it. ;)” – Brandon Raub, August 14th 2012

Let’s keep up the pressure and expose what’s happening to him, so that no-one else is picked up and detained.

Here are further news stories which are finally starting to surface about him:

http://wtvr.com/2012/08/21/full-text-brandon-raubs-proclamation-take-our-republic-back/

It is up to us as individuals and citizen journalists; to put the pressure on the mainstream media and get events like this covered. Without us, patriots like Brandon will be left to rot in a cell somewhere under a once free republic.

“Friends,

You deserve to kow the truth. There has been an overwhelming amount of evil enacted and planned against you, your children, and your countrymen. It is great in scope. Your government evil. It is as simple as that. 

And the calvary is coming.”

– Brandon Raub, August 12th 2012

Yes Brandon, the cavalry is coming; there are many people like you out there, and our ranks are swelling every day. We need not have bloodshed again on our soil, but we will take the country back.

Let’s turn the corrupt system on it’s head, and free Brandon Raub!
