'This is brilliant...attention neocons...the game is over...'
Alas these comments are applicable to all in the political circles and institutions, not just one part of it. What is equally unfortunate is that the attitudes he speaks of are not going to go away, after all the Green Agenda is simply another way of trying to enforce others to do as we say.
No one...no one has ever articulated my position as clearly as Dr. Ron Paul. We would all be wise to listen carefully to every word. This man gives me renewed hope in humanity. A cause for optimism. I only wish his acorn had fallen a little closer to the tree.
As I have stated in a prior posting, I couldn't possibly agree more with Dr. Paul where foreign policy matters are concerned. I am, however, unclear where Ron Paul stands on a couple of domestic matters. I am a long time 'Nation' Reader as well as a charter member subscriber to 'The American Conservative'. I give equal time to both sides on issues, and have become fairly well informed as a consequence. I see our greatest threat to democracy as NOT a hypothetical terrorist threat, but rather the very real threat to democracy that "Citizens United" represents. Ever since this January 2010 ruling by the Supreme Court, corporations have all of the constitutional rights as people. Now corporations - INCLUDING MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS - can steer their billions to fill any seat of government they fancy, without any required transparancy. How in the hell can a decent representative stand a chance against this kind of power? The Supreme Court has basically said they don't care if every politician from now on gets elected with the help of undisclosed millions from shadowy corporations. Do they really expect us to believe that the corporations are putting up this cash for charitable reasons? Do they think we were all born yesterday? Where does Dr. Paul stand on the "Citizens United" ruling?
INSTEAD OF QE-1, QE-2 OR A QE-3, WE MUST ACT QUICKLY TO ENACT THE FOLLOWING SO THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS CAN SAVE AMERICA.
MILLIONS OF JOBS ARE AVAILABLE NOW; MILLIONS OF MORTGAGES SAVED NOW; MILLIONS OF STUDENT LOAN DEBTS CLEARED NOW; BILLIONS OF SOCIAL SECURITY COSTS SAVED NOW; AND THOUSANDS OF VETERANS THANKED NOW-INCLUDING HOMELESS VETERANS!
The Social Security system, Medicare, Medicaid and many state social programs are at dire risk of imploding; employment has stagnated and is growing more critical; military personnel may or may not be coming home due to the lack of employment and supports for veterans; and current high school and college students face a bleak future of unemployment and debt.
To relieve the pressure, prevent the collapse of a once vibrant and beneficial system of assistance to those in need; and to encourage support for those who have worked hard to support others, the time has come to initiate the following ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND STABILITY ACT.
AN INVEST IN AMERICA (I AM AMERICA) - SOLUTION
Please find below a simplistic compilation of suggestions for fixing America’s economy. Instead of giving any further bail-outs of billions of dollars to the banks, financial houses, or corporations that will squander the money on obscene and unearned bonuses without giving any thought to using those funds for the betterment of the poor and middle class, the following plans are presented instead:
THE ECONOMIC FREEDOM AND STABILITY ACT (EFSA)
PLAN A: There are 50-60 million baby boomers who remain employed in the work force. We suggest that the United States government offer each of those employed baby boomers $1 million dollars each, tax free, as severance to retire from their employment within 30 days of receipt of the $1 million dollar severance with the following stipulations:
I. The new EFSA retiree MUST cease their current employment and not hire on as an employee anywhere in America ever again. 50-60 million job openings will occur – Younger potential employees and college graduates are then hired. Unemployment costs saved and employment opportunities will immediately be resolved. (The new retirees CAN start a business, and they can eventually hire new employees too).
II. The new EFSA retiree MUST buy a new AMERICAN made energy saving, green rated automobile. With 50-60 million new American made vehicles ordered the auto industry will once again become stable and solvent with jobs and needed resources enjoying economic growth- Employment, Environment and Auto Industry fixed.
III. The new EFSA retiree MUST either buy an American house/condo or pay off their existing mortgage thereby increasing jobs, and stabilizing the housing and mortgage issues – Employment and Housing Crisis fixed.
IV. The new EFSA retiree MUST purchase a life insurance policy to insure that those who depend on them for support will be taken care of in the event of untimely death or medical setback. –Dependents and Caregiver Coverage Fixed.
V. The new EFSA retiree MUST purchase and carry yearly medical, dental and vision coverage for themselves and their dependents, decreasing healthcare costs and burdens for the nation, and ensure continued wellbeing and quality of life. – Financial, Employment and Healthcare Coverage Fixed.
VI. The new EFSA retiree MUST forfeit all future Social Security, Medicare, and/or Medicaid benefits decreasing trillions of dollars of social welfare costs; eliminating the financial burdens on the coming generations, and encouraging self-determination. Budget Deficit fixed.
*** Certainly even some of the noted suggestions warrant further consideration, or the opportunity to be further elaborated on and implemented. Such an economic and stability program could be in effect by the end of 2011 without much financial investment considering the billions of taxpayer dollars being wasted each minute as you read this proposal.
AMERICAN VETERAN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF SACRAFICE ACT (AOS)
PLAN B:
1. 20-40 ACRES OF AMERICAN LAND AND AN AMERICAN MADE TRUCK (NEW OR USED) WILL BE PROVIDED ALL HONORABLY DISCHARGED VETERANS.
2. VETERANS MUST GROW SOMETHING FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY ON THE LAND (FOOD, LIVESTOCK, WILD GAME, PRODUCTS, ETC)
3. VETERANS CANNOT SELL, CONVEY, USE AS COLLATERAL OR TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND FOR 20 YEARS. THE TRUCK CAN BE SOLD OR OWNERSHIP CONVEYED AFTER FIVE YEARS.
4. THE LAND CAN BE INHERITED BY DEPENDENTS OF THE VETERAN BUT CANNOT BE SOLD, CONVEYED, USED AS COLLATERAL OR TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE FAMILY FOR 20 YEARS.
5. VETERANS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR STEWARDSHIP OF THE LAND TO INCLUDE ALL WASTE CREATED ON THE LAND.
6. THE LAND CANNOT BE A BLIGHT ON THE COMMUNITY, OR THE LAND CAN BE RECOVERED BY THE GOVERNMENT AS FORFEITURE FOR FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE LAND AS IT WAS INTENDED TO BE USED.
With the implementation of the SEVERANCE AND VETERAN ACTS, America’s students will see a brighter future to invest their efforts and talents while creating plentiful jobs without fear of increasing the unemployment ranks.
STUDENTS TO PROFESSIONALS ACT – (STP)
PLAN C:
THIS PROGRAM WAS CREATED TO CONNECT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS TO EMPLOYERS WHO WILL ACT AS BENEFACTORS, MENTORS AND INVESTORS IN THE STUDENTS’ FUTURE PROFESSIONAL AMBITIONS BY FUNDING A STUDENT’S EDUCATION OR SKILL TRAINING ON A 1:1 RATIO:
ONE YEAR OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE SPONSORING COMPANY FOR ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE OR SKILL TRAINING.
1. A SPONSORED STUDENT WILL WORK SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS OF EACH SUMMER ATER THEIR SOPHOMORE YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL UNTIL THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, AS AN INTERN WITH THE EMPLOYER-SPONSOR WHO HAS CONTRACTED TO INVEST IN THE STUDENT’S COLLEGE OR TRADE SCHOOL TUITION.
2. ONCE THE STUDENT GRADUATES FROM THE COLLEGE OR TRADE SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE, THE STUDENT WILL WORK ONE YEAR FOR THE EMPLOYER-SPONSOR FOR EVERY YEAR THE EMPLOYER-SPONSOR FUNDED THAT STUDENT’S EDUCATION OR TRAINING.
3. SAID EMPLOYMENT WILL BE AT A COMPETITIVE RATE OF PAY, WAGE, SALARY AS DETERMINED BY THE MARKET AT THE TIME OF COMPLETION OF COLLEGE OR TRAINING.
4. CONTRACT AND NEGOTIATIONS REGARDING COLLEGE/TRAINING TUITION/EXPENSES AND EMPLOYER REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE DEFINED BY ARBITRATION AND STANDARDS DETERMINED BY THE DEPT OF LABOR.
*** THIS PROGRAM WILL CREATE AN AMERICAN TRANSITIONAL VIABLE WORK FORCE WITH PRACTICAL WORK EXPERIENCE FOR PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS-SPONSORS TO ACCESS AND MENTOR.
*** THIS PROGRAM WILL CREATE JOBS AND DIRECTLY CONNECT THE WORKFORCE WITH THE INDUSTRIES IN NEED OF HUMAN CAPITAL.
*** THIS PROGRAM WILL ENABLE STUDENTS TO TRANSITION TO EMPLOYMENT WITH A DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THEIR FUTURE, WHILE BOLSTERING THE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE NATION.
With the implementation of these simple SEVERANCE, VETERAN & STUDENT ACTS, America’s economy, spirit, and future will exponentially expand beyond the nation’s current burdens and constraints, with prosperity and renewed - AN INVEST IN AMERICANS (I AM AMERICA) – SOLUTION.
("No prank: On Halloween, US military forces train for zombie apocalypse")
This way the troops don't realize they're training for the Second American Civil War... Much better to have them pretend they're shooting Zombie Terrorists instead of pretending they're shooting American Citizens.
well, sagebrush, at this point in time, with all that is and has been going on since the beginning of this century, for the military to not be able or willing to see a connection doesn't bode well....for them. i wouldn't worry about it. nature does not favor stupidity, and for the usa military to be convinced that it REALLY is fighting a supposed "zombie war"...and not see the co-relations between that and a civil war.....well, THAT is quite stupid. give it time...they'll wear themselves out or blow themselves up.
Why in hell do so many people think that everything has to be accompanied by loud, irritating music? Most modern movies are ruined by obnoxious music blasting away, and in many restaurants you can't eat in peace because of it. Now the same is becoming true for many video post like this one.
Just so you understand, we do NOT create the videos that we post. I can't tell you how many hundreds of emails I get every month from readers complaining about parts of videos, and they assume that we produced everything. We post videos, we do not produce them.
