We are back to these two choices: (1) she is dumber than dirt; (2) she thinks her followers are dumber than dirt. I really can't decide whether it's #2 or both #1 and #2.
I have never before argued publicly with anyone this intellectually ill-equipped. I have been at this for 45 years, and Ellen Brown is really, truly defenseless intellectually. Anyone who goes through my 52 original criticisms and my 30 responses to her responses will see why I make this judgment.
Read this one...
Tests found that the DNA of some villagers in Liqian, on the fringes of the Gobi Desert in north-western China, was 56 per cent Caucasian in origin.
Many of the villagers have blue or green eyes, long noses and even fair hair, prompting speculation that they have European blood.

As the holidays approach, your local police will likely be stepping up the use of "sobriety checkpoints" – and random stops/ID checks/interrogations under other names, too.
You've probably not done anything wrong, or even given reason to suspect you might have – but that doesn't mean they can't stop you, force you to identify yourself, produce your "papers" – or try to interrogate you as to where you're going and whatever else they feel like knowing about.
The Supreme Court has ruled they can do all that. But – for now – that is all they can legally do to you. A few tattered shreds of your former right to be free from unreasonable searches still remain. You should know where the line is – what they can force you to do vs. what you don't (yet) have to submit to:

Blind, dim-witted followers who don't see the true nature of their leader....

When you get to hell GS, rot in it for all eternity.
i'll say it again...is there anyone else outside of kucinich who wants to cut the military as much as ron paul...do you give him credit for that at least...i've seen interviews where he calls for cutting it by 50%...that's exactly how i feel, so it's another reason that i support him...just looking for dialogue here..not looking to start a battle...
I'm not trying to start a battle here either. Honestly, I wish I could get behind RP, but he fumbles more than Adrian Peterson. Remember that story you ran on the bizarre accounting of gold by the government?

Now can you find the clip of Ronnie Boy demanding answers? Is he making a push to audit Fort Knox? And we've already been through his Milquetoast opposition to Bernanke and how he's never even asked that Elizabeth Coleman be fired.
I could go on, but my question to you is why has the performance bar been set so low for Ron Paul? I have no idea who he thinks his leader is (maybe you misphrased), but he is certainly not my leader. I think he's either a coward or a false prophet. The things he talks about (free markets, sound money, limited government) will bring Hell on Earth for millions if not administered correctly, and I see no evidence he is equipped with the kind of insight to restore liberty and justice for all. His only saving grace is that although he talks a lot, he has (thankfully) done very, very little.
He's on the Finance comitee now, so I guess we'll see what he's made of. But ask yourself this: Are you honest enough with yourself to call him out if he starts playing footsies with Geithner and Bernanke?
If you take a look at Russia during the period of the Czars in the 19th century say, for only one example taken from many, you will see a network of spies, torture chambers and gulags whose horror we can barely imagine. They were all designed by the feudal rulers to keep the starving masses of Russians in check.
Our rulers find it easy to imagine, however. Maybe that's why they find history so much fun to read and maybe that is why it is such a depressing burden for most of us to read.
But then again, there have been so many wars and revolutions during the last two hundred years that it is impossible for even the historically challenged NOT to have heard about them.
A lot of people are looking around nervously for a piece of high ground from which they can watch a possible war/revolution in safety. But that may be a will-o-the-wisp.
How pathetic is this society? I chose to insulate myself and my family years ago, moving to a wealthy suburb and surrounded by two-parent, college educated families. I was told repeatedly that it wasn't the "real world." And I never cared. I could never understand what made some other world more or less real than mine. Until now. I really believe that virtually everything he said is sadly true.
And all the rest of this is window dressing. For if it's fact that those masses have no idea of who is stealing what from them, then we are literally doomed to the fate we're shown. Maybe I should buy gold after all.
A sad day...
@ MARK...
yes...did you watch the ron paul clip on the front page now...it's on bernanke..and there's no footsie...just annihilation...watch a few minutes of it...
@gomp...i still have the clips in my email box...i will have to dig those out...
yes it is a remarkable clip...wish i had more time to respond...but working on other stories...
And it will be these people that are knocking down your door when they are the ones that dident stock up on food & water, Bullets.........They will be piled 3-4 deep just like at Wallmart............!
he can babble and curse all he wants, but he was totally silent when the setup was in progress. and now he wants to rail against gaza activists and "abduls"??? hey, buddy, you give billions to israel every year .. dont see your whining ass complaining about that now do we?
the chinese actually do make high-quality products - they just don't sell them in the USA, and for a good reason. there is very little demand for high quality products in the USA. because americans are, in general, drugged-up losers who like crap. if you keep on voting for republicrats and keep on making fun of people who actually ACT to make change (instead of making cute videos), then you're just another one of those drugged-up losers. and if you think about it, the drugged-up losers killed your pathetic, ugly country every bit as much as the bankers did. congratulations, scumbag.
@me: I take it you're still into the sock puppet match and favor Democrats like Tim Geithner and Barney Frank and Chris Dodd over Republicans like John Boehner and Judd Gregg. Perhaps if you tried some of Wal$treetPro2's kush you'd see they all work for Wall Street banks. Stop the hackneyed moralizing and maybe your brain will develop past the stem.
I retract that last post and apologize for misreading what you said.
Actually I agree with you about acting. (Disagree re WSP2, though, love that guy.)
Recently I started helping a friend for alderman in Chicago. He got sick of watching the pols act on behalf of corporations and to the detriment of ordinary people. He told me he wasn't taking any $ from commercial developers. I jumped on board not realizing it would be a 16-hour-per-day job. He's about a 200-1 long shot. It's been a blast, though, and if he makes the ballot (no easy feat in Chi-Town), he's actually got a chance.
Here's the deal. I'm an American who loves the land and the people around me. I also happen to be brown.
In the week after 9/11 I was physically assaulted on three separate occasions by men not any different from mr. angry guy. Did they bother to find out that I'm not Arab, not muslim, and actually have family serving in the military? No, they did not.
As the economy collapses, all the anger that SHOULD be directed at the banking class WILL actually be directed at me and people who look like me who have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it. Do you really think that a nation of overfed drugged-up losers is going to actually THINK before they act? I for one don't need a joint, a tab, or a line of anything to understand that.
If I meet mr. angry guy and he wants to come after me with his electric saw because he thinks I'm an "abdul" or someone who actually gives a fuck about the people of gaza... well, he can meet a wall of motherfucking lead, and HIS mom can cry her eyes out for the rest of her pathetic scumfuck life, instead of the mothers of gaza, whose pain he pays for with his fucking taxes and then turns around yelling at people who are actually trying to DO something about it.
If that is what you think of other Americans, maybe you should leave this country.
