Ron Paul's dream republic died when Beauregard ordered the bombardment of Fort Sumter. Trying to resurrect the Jeffersonian Republic is ludicrous, seeing as it didn't even last a century.
In x amount of years are you going to say, "Trying to resurrect the Constitution is ludicrous, seeing as it didn't last more than 200 years!"
Maybe if you understood why it fell in the first place you wouldn't have so much disdain for it. No one is saying Ron Paul is perfect or that everything he says is right.
It is just amusing that you make so many assertions that his way of thinking is wrong without any proof.
The UK is doing its best to censor the internet any way they can. Londonâ(TM)s St. Pancras International has been censoring alternative news websites through their wi-fi for at least a month. While I see plenty of news articles about Chinese censorship, I didn't see the UK censorship anywhere else.
If you bothered reading any of the articles (since this is/. and your ID is less than 10k you didn't) then you'd know that they sold UNLIMITED plans when the real cap was 5GB and that they are only forcing people off the plan who went over that cap.
It is a text-book case of deceptive practices (bait and switch).
Had the company disbanded its unlimited service altogether instead of kicking off people over the real limit, I'd have agreed with you 100%.
Katrina is fading in folks' memories and "Brownie", who took the fall for that cluster fuck, is long gone but the agency is still apparently still incredibly dysfunctional and run by incompetents.
Excellence and failure both start at the top. When the head guy is incompetent, he will hire incompetents.
If you haven't noticed, the best way to get a bigger budget and more power is to be incompetent. That's the supposed reason why DHS was created in the first place.
If you subsidize stupidity, that is all you'll ever get.

Don't forget that people went to jail for rigging the recount in Ohio. The big question is, why rig a recount if the regular count wasn't rigged in the first place?
Another question is, why does a company who make ATM machines which don't lose a cent in millions of transactions and have a paper trail fail to do the same for voting machines?

Do you have any proof that these vaccines indeed were the major reason for all of these diseases? Could it not be the fact that the diet of the normal person became more healthy? Here is an interesting picture that illustrates my point.

DDT was completely awful and evil for saving millions of peoples lives in Africa. Our government and the UN couldn't stand that so many black people weren't dying to malaria so they banned DDT citing BS and unproven science.
Just read Kissingers NSSM-200 for the real reason why DDT was banned.
No, the world is not actually cooling. It just happens that this winter is, for many parts of the world, colder and wetter than normal.
There is summer in the other half of the world.
Solar activity in the form of sunspots is at its lowest point in centuries. Scientists have been observing the sunspots for 400 years and there hasn't been a lull like this since the "Maunder Minimum."
Maybe that's because the MSM love to not talk about how bad the war is going. Most Iraq news is buried in major newspapers or in foreign news services, which most Americans don't bother reading.
I read every single day about more deaths and more bombings in the Star Tribune, but its always buried as close to the end of the A section as possible. Nobody who has been looking for news on Iraq everyday for the entire war believes the surge is working.
I also forgot to add that the so called seals on the boxes were more like post it notes. You could take them off and put them back on and no one would ever notice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKQEQ7qHvgM This video demonstrates how great the chain of custody was in NH. This basically proves that fraud could have easily happened and been undetectable.
First of all, the Republican ballots haven't been counted yet. Secondly, Kucinich ran out of money so not all of the ballots on the Democratic side were counted. Not only that, but the chain of custody for the ballots was severely lacking. It would be alomst impossible to prove fraud when you can't fully account for where the ballots were and everyone who had custody of them. There were lots of discrepencies in the diebold counted places. Simply check out http://www.blackboxvoting.org/ and http://www.bradblog.com/ and you'll see how incredibly bad NH was.
The Republican ballots won't even have started to be counted for a few days. More money was donated to the 3rd party candidate to make the recount (mostly Ron Paul supporters through the Granny Warriors). There were at least two cities in NH that reported 0 votes for Ron Paul, then magically found them the next day when it was pointed out to them that people voted for him there (all by accident, of course).
The fact that the diebold ballots were so far off is very troubling, considering they make ATM's which don't miss a penny and are virtually fraud proof (not to mention there is a paper trail). LHS Associates, who counted 81% of the votes in NH also have an executive who was convicted of narcotics trafficking. It was also LHS Associates who handled a lot of the ballots after the voting was done. They can't use the Fry defense "Don't blame me, I'm a non-voting felon." They're vote counting felons.
Anyone who gets their votes counted through a Diebold machine should get stickers saying "I think I voted."
Do you ever wonder why weather modification is never brought up in these climate change stories? Or why don't they ever talk about HAARP and the role it might play.
The point of the article on globalresearch was to show that there is good cause for FUD. It is questioning why the same people who funded the doomsday seed vault are the same people who have almost exclusive control of agribusiness. Things like the Rockefeller and Ford foundation have a very poor record when it comes to the things they fund. The article simply wants you to question the connections, be skeptical of their motives. Do a little research on eugenics/genetics/transhumaism and you'll see why there is good reason to be skeptical.
"Dear Bookseller, it begins. Last week, President Bush signed into law an antiterrorism bill that gives the federal government expanded authority to search your business records, including the titles of the books purchased by your customers...There is no opportunity for you or your lawyer to object in court. You cannot object publicly either. The new law includes a gag order that prevents you from disclosing 'to any person' the fact that you have received an order to produce documents...because of the gag order...you should not tell ABFFE that you have received a court order... you can simply tell us that you need to contact ABFFE's legal counsel."
That is a letter from the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) sent to its members shortly after the PATRIOT Act was signed into law. The PATRIOT Act gave the federal government powers to search records of any business selling books and any library. Then they slap a gag order which makes it illegal to tell anyone for up to a year.
It just sickens me to have to be paranoid about the things I read, or having to avoid using a credit card when paying for a book.
Any terrorist who reads on an airplane isn't going to be reading a book on bombs, explosives or how to be a terrorist. If a terrorist were dumb enough to do that, it sure as hell wouldn't be in english. This is just another example of the government amassing data on ordinary citizens all in the name of national security.
In this particular case you may not be entirely correct. Stephen Colbert held a contest called Stephen Colbert's green screen challenge, which had viewers take stock footage of colbert messing around with a lightsaber and edit it in any way. The submissions were supposed to be made on youtube, not on any hardware Viacom provided. Submissions of the contest were regularily shown on the Report for over a month.
Both the Daily Show and the Report have used youtube in many ways to poke fun at it and use it for their show. Since Stewart and Colbert both have much to do with their shows content creation, it fits that they might be deposed.

Lincoln deliberately provoked Beauregard into attacking Fort Sumter, very much like how FDR deliberately provoked Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor.

I'm not sure about games being delivered before the release date, but they've done this for books.
My copy of Ron Paul's book, The Revolution - A Manifesto actually came a few days early.
Amazon has done Release-day book delivery Harry Potter books. I don't know if this is standard procedure for books because I pre-order so few.
Here's a picture of the new prototype they are working on with a top British scientist.

If you own a cell phone and often carry it with you everywhere you go, you can be tracked. You can even be tracked with your phone turned off. The government has been asking to track people even without sufficient probably cause(and probably doing it illegally since we know about it).

When they say that are doing it to predict and prevent, they really mean they are going to start it and help spread it.
Don't forget that we also paid for a lot of that infrastructure, which makes your point even more valid.
It would be much more useful if we knew how many Library's of Congress that would fund!
