Ron Paul: US Should Offer Friendship To Iran Not War 2011

Texas Rep. Ron Paul, fresh off a win in the Illinois Republicans presidential candidate straw poll, is ruling out an independent bid for the White House, saying he doesn’t want to go that route. “I have no intention doing that. That doesn’t make sense to me to even think about it, let alone plan to do that,” Paul told “Fox News Sunday.” Asked why, Paul responded: “Because I don’t want to do it. That’s the reason.” But Paul said that if he’s not the nominee, he’s not certain that he would support the GOP nominee. “Probably not unless I get to talk to them and find out what they believe in. But if they believe on expanding the wars, if they don’t believe in looking at the Federal Reserve; if they don’t believe in real cuts, if they don’t believe in deregulation and better tax system, it would defy everything I believe in,” Paul said. “And so, therefore, I would be reluctant to jump on board and tell all of the supporters that have given me trust and money that all of a sudden, I’d say, all we’ve done is for naught. So, let’s support anybody at all … even if they disagree with everything that we do,” Paul added. The three-time presidential candidate, and one-time Libertarian nominee, gave as an example Herman Cain, whose recent scrutiny over alleged sexual harassment claims isn’t what bothers Paul. “The allegations against his program, he’s liking, you know, the Federal Reserve and his national sales tax — yes, they are very legitimate and his support for bailouts, those …

Peter Galison is the Joseph Pellegrino University Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard University; his doctoral dissertations were at Harvard in the history of science and in particle physics (electroweak theory). Galison’s work explores the complex interaction between the three principal subcultures of physics–experimentation, instrumentation, and theory, and all focus on the role of visualization and materiality in scientific work. Among his books are: How Experiments End (1987), Image and Logic (1997), Einstein’s Clocks, Poincaré’s Maps (2003), L. Daston, Objectivity (2007) and (among other co-edited volumes) The Architecture of Science, Picturing Science, Producing Art, Scientific Authorship, and Einstein for the 21st Century. To explore the relation of scientific work with larger issues of politics, he has made two documentary films: “Ultimate Weapon: The H-bomb Dilemma” (2000), and, with Robb Moss,”Secrecy” (about national security secrecy and democracy), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008.

What do Americans feel is necessary to strengthen our local and national security?

Question by supertrooper_edwards: What do Americans feel is necessary to strengthen our local and national security?
Proposal of more government guidelines and agencies with oversite, a national community watch program with background clearance check via Department of Homeland Security, or nothing at all?

Best answer:

Answer by jl_jack09
Neocons like to use fear. Fear is a motivator. It used to be “the spread of communism” they used. Before Viet-Nam and the Korean conflict that worked well for them. We all know WAR is good for business, fear is also. Neocons want you to live in fear, they like that. It makes them cash from the good Stock investments they have made. A example is Cheney, he makes $ 20 million from Halliburton stock and then he lectures Americans about not saving part of their Pay Checks and living on credit.
What a joke Cheney is. Just like Hisbushyness, a joke.
These types of Neocons have never worked a day in their entire life and never will.

Is WikiLeaks a threat to national security?

Question by ksafin@ymail.com: Is WikiLeaks a threat to national security?
This is for a debate.
I have 500 pages of research and have my own opinion, but I wanted to hear your arguments so I can be prepared to rebuttle.

So, guys: WikiLeaks is a threat to US National Security. True or False, and why?

Best answer:

Answer by Timmeh!
No, plain and simple. They ARE a threat to the US government’s ability to cover up whatever massacres and war crimes they have carried out. To date, of the 250,000 cables and documents they have received, they have leaked less than 1%, due to the time it takes to go through each doucment and redact it to ensure the names of people who might be at risk have been removed. That is responsible reporting, and it shames the so called mainstream media.

To what extent, for the sake of national security, should individual rights and freedoms be restricted?

Question by ♪: To what extent, for the sake of national security, should individual rights and freedoms be restricted?
Can the restriction of civil rights for the sake of national security be justified?

Should decisions be made by the upper echelons of government in which the American public is not informed?

To what extent?

Have Americans forgotten that they are supposed to be a PART of the system of checks and balances? That it isn’t just the executive, congressional and legislative branches, but that they have a role in this, as well?

Are you concerned about the constitution being subverted in recent years?

What would be your solution to upholding your constitutional rights?

Best answer:

Answer by mschick_2007
All I can think of is that we learned in high school that america is set up on a balance scale. do whatever you want as long as you don’t put yourself or anyone else in danger. I agree with that. And as long as people are stupid, the government will have to intervene. It’s a way of life.

America has proven with the copy cat criminals that authority figures have to keep certain things private in order to protect the whole country. Sure, let them keep secrets; we all do it. and they got in their positions for a reason.

What if you open your eyes? By Ron Paul

Speech before the US House of Representatives, 02/12/09 Madame Speaker, I have a few questions for my colleagues. What if we wake up one day and realize that the terrorist threat is a predictable consequence of our meddling in the affairs of others? What if propping up repressive regimes in the Middle East endangers both the United States and Israel? What if occupying countries like Iraq and Afghanistan – and bombing Pakistan – is directly related to the hatred directed toward us and has nothing to do with being free and prosperous? What if someday it dawns on us that losing over 5000 American military personnel in the Middle East since 9/11 is not a fair trade-off for the loss of nearly 3000 American citizens, no matter how many Iraqi, Pakistani, and Afghan people are killed or displaced? What if we finally decide that torture, even if called enhanced interrogation techniques, is self-destructive and produces no useful information – and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil? What if it is finally realized that war and military spending is always destructive to the economy? What if all wartime spending is paid for through the deceitful and evil process of inflating and borrowing? What if we finally see that wartime conditions always undermine personal liberty? What if conservatives, who preach small government, wake up and realize that our interventionist foreign policy provides the greatest incentive to expand the government? What if …

The Alex Jones Show: Bilderberg Conference of Global Power Brokers set to Meet 1/2

Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv June 6, 2011 Image: Wikipedia Commons A prominent member of Switzerland’s largest political party has called upon federal authorities to arrest Henry Kissinger as a war criminal if he attends the 2011 Bilderberg conference of global power brokers which is set to begin on Thursday at the Hotel Suvretta House in St. Moritz. Swiss People’s Party representative Dominique Baettig wrote a letter to the General Prosecutor of the Swiss Federation in which he asked, “In the name of Cantonal Sovereignty and independence, but especially of the Justice’s independence from executive power — may it be Federal or Cantonal — I ask you to check abroad for Arrest Warrants delivered by various Courts, Judges and also for all valid criminal complaints against the persons who were, amongst others, cited as mere examples in my (enclosed) letters to Mrs. Simonetta Sommaruga, Federal Counselor and Mrs. Barbara Janom Steiner, Cantonal Counselor and of course, to arrest them before diligent extraditions.” Baettig is no fringe figure, he’s the equivalent of a US Congressman, representing the Canton of Jura on the National Council of Switzerland. His party, the Swiss People’s Party, is the largest party in the Federal Assembly, with 58 members of the National Council and 6 of the Council of States. Baettig’s letter also calls for the apprehension of George W. Bush and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but neither are likely to be attending …

La Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) è l’agenzia di spionaggio per l’estero degli Stati Uniti d’America, responsabile dell’ottenimento e dell’analisi delle informazioni sui governi stranieri, sulle società, sugli individui e sulla segnalazione di tali informazioni ai vari rami del governo degli Stati Uniti. Dispone inoltre di un ampio apparato militare segreto, che durante la guerra fredda era responsabile di diverse campagne clandestine contro i governi stranieri dei paesi nemici. La sede centrale si trova a Langley, in Virginia, vicino al fiume Potomac e Washington. L’agenzia venne costituita dal presidente americano Harry Truman nel 1947 dalle ceneri dell’Office of Strategic Services (OSS) utilizzata nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale. La OSS si sciolse nell’Ottobre del 1945 ma William J. Donovan (chiamato Wild Bill sia dagli amici che dai nemici), il creatore dell’OSS, inviò una proposta al presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt nel 1944 per chiedere la formazione di una nuova organizzazione con la supervisione diretta da parte del presidente. Nonostante la forte opposizione dei militari, del Dipartimento di Stato, e dell’FBI, nel gennaio del 1946 Truman fonda il Central Intelligence Group (CIG). Dopo il National Security Act del 1947 (che diventa effettivo il 18 settembre 1947) vengono fondati sia il National Security Council (NSC) sia la CIA. Nel 1949, il Central Intelligence Agency Act (chiamato anche “Public Law 110”) viene approvato, permettendo agli agenti di usare il …

PayingthePrice.org Publishes New Information Regarding U.S. Health Care Reform, Big Pharma and Prescription Drugs from Canada

PayingthePrice.org Publishes New Information Regarding U.S. Health Care Reform, Big Pharma and Prescription Drugs from Canada











PayingthePrice.org


(PRWEB) December 21, 2011

PayingthePrice.org, an advocacy movement dedicated to educating Americans about the crisis of prescription drug pricing, has published a new article regarding the health care reform bill that passed in March 2010. The bill was passed as a measure to help Americans gain better access to affordable health care and prescription drugs. However, the PayingthePrice.org article suggests that biggest winners may not be U.S. patients, but rather large pharmaceutical companies themselves.

“This article connects the dots between the White House, Big Pharma’s lobbying efforts, Health Care reform and consumer advocate whistle blowers who called for transparency during the negotiations,” states Emmett Murphy, spokesperson for PayingthePrice.org. The research suggests that Big Pharma’s tactics of heavy lobbying in Washington and engaging in price manipulation keep the pharmaceutical companies in their powerful market position, despite the health care reform bill’s intent to put U.S. citizens’ needs first.

The Affordable Care Act, passed by Congress and signed into law by the President in March 2010, gives Americans better health security by putting in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that hold insurance companies accountable, lowers health care costs, guarantees more choice, and enhances the quality of care for all Americans. Initially, the powerful pharmaceutical lobby supported passage of the health care reform bill, but only after cutting a few deals with the White House to ensure that their interests would be protected.

PayingthePrice.org is sponsored by Jan Drugs, a licensed and regulated, brick-and-mortar Canadian Pharmacy. “Americans should be concerned about the threat of reduced access to Canadian pharmacies and affordable medications,” notes Murphy. He asserts, “Pharmaceutical company tactics like price-fixing and pay to delay are forcing Americans to pay more for their medications than citizens of any other industrialized nation.”

From covering personal drug importation issues to exposing leaked free-trade agreement negotiation documents, PayingthePrice.org gives visitors the knowledge to understand the prescription drug cost crisis and the tools to spread the word and help make a change. The website’s mission is to explore how the high price of prescription drugs places millions of Americans at risk everyday.

For more information about this compelling issue, please visit http://www.payingtheprice.org

Founded in 2003, Jan Drugs is a licensed, brick-and-mortar Canadian pharmacy regulated by the Canadian government for safety. Jan Drugs is a verified member of the Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA), which has been chosen by Google, Bing, and Yahoo as the verification authority for online pharmaceutical advertisements. Jan Drugs carries prescription medication made by the leading name-brand and first-tier generic manufactures at prices up to 80 percent less than US pharmacies. Jan Drugs has helped over 100,000 Canadian and American patients get access to the high quality medications they need at prices they can better afford.
