BREAKING: Ron Paul to Announce Presidential Candidacy Friday Morning on ABC Good Morning America 7am
-> http://www.prisonplanet.com/breaking-ron-paul... Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the “one exception to the Gang of 535″ on Capitol Hill. http://www.ronpaul2012.com/ |

28 Statistics About Gutting Of U.S. Economy That Will Blow Your Mind
from: http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/ame... Red alert! Over 40 billion dollars of America's national wealth is being shipped out of the country every single month. Our economy is being gutted and we are bleeding wealth and we are bleeding jobs. This is a distress call. Is anyone listening? Thousands of our factories and millions of our jobs are being shipped overseas. Over the past decade over 6 trillion dollars have been transferred into the hands of foreigners. Our national government is so broke that they constantly have to go and beg those foreigners to lend us back some of that money in order to finance our exploding debt. The number of good jobs continues to decline and there are millions upon millions of my countrymen that are unemployed. Can anybody help us? Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! Sadly, the vast majority of Americans really are dead asleep on this issue. They just continue to run out to the big retail stores and fill their carts with products made in China and yet they seem completely bewildered by the fact that the number of good jobs continues to decline. Over the past decade, the number of middle class jobs has fallen by about ten percent. There is a reason for this. America is becoming poorer. The economic pie is shrinking. When we ship 40 to 50 billion dollars into the hands of foreigners every single month, that means that there is a lot less wealth for all of us to divide up. Every single month, the U.S. ships in massive amounts of foreign oil and massive amounts of cheap plastic trinkets from places such as China which we greedily consume. In return, we send them a giant pile of money. This happens month after month after month. You see, we always need more of their oil and more of their plastic trinkets. They are more than happy to keep getting richer and richer. Meanwhile, thousands of our factories and millions of our jobs continue to be sent overseas where labor is far cheaper. Thanks to globalization, American workers much now directly compete for jobs with workers that are willing to work for less than a dollar an hour on the other side of the globe. The dismantling of our economy is happening right in front of our eyes and most of our politicians are not doing a thing to stop it. The following are 28 statistics about the gutting of the U.S. economy that will blow your mind.... #1 According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. trade deficit for the month of March was $48.2 billion. That was up from $45.4 billion in February. #2 The United States has had a negative trade balance every single year since 1976. #3 Between December 2000 and December 2010, the U.S. ran a total trade deficit of 6.1 trillion dollars. #4 The U.S. trade deficit with China in March was $18.1 billion. This is money that is not going to support U.S. businesses and U.S. workers. If that money was actually going to our businesses and to our workers it would increase tax revenues. #5 Since China entered the WTO in 2001, the U.S. trade deficit with China has grown by an average of 18% per year. #6 During 2010, we spent $365 billion on goods and services from China while they only spent $92 billion on goods and services from us. #7 Since 2005, Americans have gobbled up Chinese products and services totaling $1.1 trillion, but the Chinese have only spent $272 billion on American goods and services. #8 The U.S. trade deficit with China in 2010 was 27 times larger than it was back in 1990. #9 According to a recent report from the Economic Policy Institute, between 2001 and 2008 the United States lost 2.4 million jobs due to the growing trade deficit with China. Every single state in America experienced a net job loss due to our trade deficit with China during that time period. |

#10 The United States has lost an average of 50,000 manufacturing jobs per month since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001.
#11 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000. #12 Between December 2000 and December 2010, 38 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Ohio were lost, 42 percent of the manufacturing jobs in North Carolina were lost and 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Michigan were lost. #13 Back in 1970, 25 percent of all jobs in the United States were manufacturing jobs. Today, only 9 percent of the jobs in the United States are manufacturing jobs. #14 China produced 19.8 percent of all the goods consumed in the world last year. The United States only produced 19.4 percent. #15 According to the IMF, China is going to have the largest economy in the world by 2016. #16 Nobel economist Robert W. Fogel of the University of Chicago is projecting that the Chinese economy will be three times larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2040 if current trends continue. #17 Back in 1998, the United States had 25 percent of the world’s high tech export market and China had just 10 percent. Ten years later, the United States had less than 15 percent and China's share had soared to 20 percent. #18 Manufacturing employment in the U.S. computer industry was actually lower in 2010 than it was in 1975. #19 In 2002, the United States had a trade deficit in "advanced technology products" of $16 billion with the rest of the world. In 2010, that number skyrocketed to $82 billion. #20 Last year, China produced 11 times as much steel as the United States did. #21 Do you remember when the United States was the dominant manufacturer of automobiles and trucks on the globe? Well, in 2010 the U.S. ran a trade deficit in automobiles, trucks and parts of $110 billion. #22 In 2010, South Korea exported 12 times as many automobiles, trucks and parts to us as we exported to them. #23 According to one recent study, China could become the global leader in patent filings by next year. #24 China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of U.S. defense systems. #25 In 2010, the number one U.S. export to China was "scrap and trash". #26 Thanks to our exploding trade deficit with China, the Chinese have accumulated nearly 3 trillion dollars in foreign currency reserves. That is the largest stockpile of foreign currency reserves on the entire globe. #27 The amount of the trade deficit that can be attributed to foreign oil is at the highest level that we have seen since 2008. |

#28 It is being projected that for the first time ever, the OPEC nations are going to bring in over a trillion dollars from exporting oil this year. Their biggest customer is the United States.
Our dependence on foreign oil is literally bleeding us dry. Once we have burned up all of that foreign oil in our cars we are left with nothing. But the people we bought all that oil from are still sitting on all that cash. As we ship our wealth, our factories and our jobs out of the country, America is getting poorer. That means that individual Americans are getting poorer. According to one estimate, between 1999 and 2009 real median household income in the United States declined by 5.0%. Today, over 44 million Americans are on food stamps and over 47 million Americans are living in poverty. This is not an accident and it didn't happen overnight. Our economic policies are absolutely killing us. This economic downturn has hit men particularly hard. As thousands of manufacturing facilities have shut down, millions of blue collar workers have been dumped out on the street. Most blue collar workers are men. Since January 2008, male employment has declined by 4,932,000 jobs. Ouch. During 2010, only 66.8% of American men had jobs, which was a new all-time record low. There are a lot of blue collar workers that are sitting at home on their couches today that are still trying to figure out what in the world happened to their good jobs. There are now more than 6 million Americans that the government says have given up looking for work completely. Most of them are men. Sadly, in our society today most of the people that pursue higher education are women. Today, 61% of all college degrees are earned by women. Not that a college education is a ticket to success in today's world. According to the Economic Policy Institute, the unemployment rate for college graduates younger than 25 years old was 9.3 percent in 2010. In fact, the majority of all of our college graduates end up running home to Mom and Dad after they graduate. According to a poll conducted by Twentysomething Inc., 85 percent of U.S. college graduates will move back home with their parents (at least initially) after graduation. That is up from 67 percent back in 2006. The truth is that there are not nearly enough jobs for everyone and that is a huge problem. We have become a nation that consumes far more wealth than it produces. That is a recipe for disaster any way that you cut it. Until we have some fundamental changes to our trade policy, these long-term trends are just going to continue. We are going to continue to bleed wealth, bleed factories and bleed jobs. Tax revenues go down when factories shut down and when American workers are sitting at home on their couches. This is a huge factor in why our federal, state and local governments are drowning in debt. We have got to have more wealth creation inside this country or else we are going to continue to see our government debt problems get even worse. If you walk into just about any major retail store today, what do you find? You find loads and loads of products that have been made somewhere else. I hope that you are enjoying "the low, low prices" because they come at a very high cost. We once had the greatest economic machine in the history of the world but now it is being gutted like a fish. If we continue on the road that we are on, the entire country is eventually going to become just like Detroit. Is that what you want? |

It's never too late. "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." -DoI "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Jefferson |

pessimism and defeatism are Not traits of a true patriot.
Yes, there IS such a thing as 'good extremists'! A segment from that letter of TJ with that famous quote Aaron noted- from: The "Tree of Liberty" letter, Thomas Jefferson to William Smith Paris, November 13, 1787 "The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy, that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, the ministers themselves have come to believe them, & what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves. Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of rebellion so honourably conducted? I say nothing of it's motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had 13. states independent 11. years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century & a half for each state. What country before ever existed a century & a half without a rebellion? & what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure." ---------- "Who will rise up for me against the evil doers?" -Psalm 94:16 (exact wordage) "Don't put up with the evil 'New World Order' agenda of Satan's minions but rather Expose em!" -Ephesians 5:11 (paraphrased) Was Jesus a pacifist? http://www.rationalchristianity.net/jesus_pac... and http://home.earthlink.net/~ronrhodes/qselfdef... |

Evil doers in action TODAY-
Indiana Court rules that 4th Amendment is out the window!-- No right to resist illegal cop entry into home INDIANAPOLIS | Overturning a common law dating back to the English Magna Carta of 1215, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Hoosiers have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes. http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/govt-and-p... ^In a 3-2 decision, Justice Steven David writing for the court said if a police officer wants to enter a home for any reason or no reason at all, a homeowner cannot do anything to block the officer’s entry. ---------- * and just south of us in the State which ONCE had enough patriots with spines & gonads- ORANGE, Mass.(WWLP)- A civil rights controversy is brewing at an elementary school in the Town of Orange, and it all surrounds an11 year-old's drawing of the American Flag.The family of Frankie Girard is claiming that their son's civil rights were violated after a teacher allegedly told him that hanging his picture of the American flag would offend another student. http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/news/local/franklin/C... ^In Massachusetts this commie garbage is happening, the State where flag waving patriots first fought the tyrant Brits. The boy's name happens to be Franklin! Unfortunately, Franklin's father is an obliviot who thinks the ACLU is on the side of righteousness and patriotism, someone should tell him about the OTHER lawyer's groups like the Rutherford Institute-> "Frankie's father told 22News that he is so outraged that he placed a call to the American Civil Liberties Union." -how pathetic- the ACLU is exactly who you would NOT go to for help in such a case! This is more reason to get your children OUT of public schools- if you really love them you'll home school them. A Facebook page has been set up for supporters of Frankie and his right to draw the flag in school-> http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-Support-Frank... |

-pfffft, more like: History is full of foaming at the mouth tyrants in constant need of being fatalistically Whacked!- it's the JOB of patriots... when the Last Chance bus has passed and the masses of sheeple didn't WTFU and get on it. Meanwhile, what WON'T be 'in the future' is the friggin rule of law, that Constitution thing ya know?, not if the sheeple fail yet again to elect the few candidates who actually read the thing and actually MEAN IT when they take their oath to support and defend it! |

Judged: 1 If I'm having surgery, I want the best surgeon. i don't care if he's a Christian. President is not a minister. His job is to preside over the executive office & run its affairs for *all* citizens of USA. You nor anyone else gets to pick who is worthy of this. All US residents should contribute & have a voice. Morality cannot be legislated. Tacking 10 commandments in every classroom will not amount to a pi&&hole in the snow nor is it anyone's business what others believe. Despite his support of nuclear power, it looks like I will vote for Paul unless he is in any way involved w/Palin or her ilk. His views are nuanced & span the political spectrum. He would have the power to upend the status quo & really shake things up. I predict Romney will get GOP nom & Obama loses. |

Am I About To Be Labeled a “Domestic Terrorist”? Alfred Adask http://www.infowars.com/am-i-about-to-be-labe... ^Religiophobe warning: contains some Christian message/values CBS Demonizes Constitutionalists http://www.prisonplanet.com/cbs-demonizes-con... I also support the separation of Church and the govt. but not to the point of wanting no religious people in high office- THAT is extreme and why the left hurts itself and America, standing up so much for moral relativism and for any critisism of perversion to be called a 'hate crime'(as with the Philidelphia 11 etc.) and supporting the 'right to healthcare' nonsense, not to mention the nonsense notion that we should pay a Carbon Tax to stop the non-existant 'man-made climate change'. Property rights, sovereign citizen rights and 2nd Amendment rights and MORE are certainly in danger more so from the pagan/Godless 'left' than the so-called 'Christian right'. Ron Paul is anti-war, anti-police Big brother/police state. No one is perfect in politics, that's why it's called poli (many) ticks (blood sucking creatures under your skin)-- but just as I voted for Shumlin the lefty cuz the main thing now is to get VY shut down, I'll support Ron cuz we need to stick a spear in the side of the NWO by at least having his Constitutional truth message straighten out the BS in debates like he did so well in 08. see youtube vid here-> The Constitution over-rules Mitt Romney's lawyers http://www.youtube.com/watch... ^note at 1:40 into it Ron Paul gets to expose the BS of the traitorscum on the panel like Romney! glad this turd isn't running-> http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&... We need Ron Paul in to take the federal branch back & put it under the thumb of the States where it belongs, reversing the trend of the NWO globalists, getting rid of their 'Federal' Reserve Bank which ain't federal has no reserves and ain't a bank- something RP would do the First week as prez, unlike Obama who's first acts were to sign an Executive Order (unconstitutional) to seal his own records, and another to undo the ban on our tax $$ going to fund 'family planning'(abortions) overseas including Africa! "it looks like I will vote for Paul unless he is in any way involved w/Palin or her ilk." -Oh he's not at all with the entertainment schlock for the sheeple polititians/hucksters and CFR conected scum like her and CFR member and crook McCain Nor CFR member Newt Nor phonies like Romney and Schmuckabee nor ANY neocons- watch his great rant against the neocons for starting the unjust 'war' in 03 where he named names and spared not his condemnation of them- http://www.youtube.com/watch... Paul isn't a Bible thumper who'll try to put the Ten Commandments in schools or any such sillyness liberals mainly worry about (as if that would be a horrible thing) and he supports the separation of C&S but he would no doubt try to put judges on the Supreme Court that are not only pro-life but pro-freedom. We've seen that court say individuals have no rights especially in recent years, like with the 4th Amendment home is no longer your 'castle' infringments and the woman who had her kids taken and went to jail just cuz she didn't have proper seat belts in use and the damn 'justices' said that's OK for cops to do that $hit. |

Judged: 1 1 1 "Whether the media establishments want to admit it or not, and believe me they don't, Ron Paul IS the 'front runner' for the republican primary. Despite voracious denials and vitriolic arguments from almost every quarter to the contrary, he is the only one with a chance of shutting out Obama for the presidency in 2012. He appeals to all sides of the aisle, and is attracting the much sought after independent swing vote almost as fast as he has the youth of the nation. The Internet is indisputably Ron Paul country as countless polls and google trends have repeatedly shown. The gradual change in political rhetoric flowing out of Washington, D.C. over the last 3 years reflects an explosion of interest in the freedom message he spreads so tirelessly. The continuous growth in popularity of talk and news shows focusing on freedom and the Constitution broadcasts loud and clear the rising prominence of issues he has brought to the debate. For anyone with any powers of discernment, it's a no-brainer.So why do media pundits, dime a dozen politicians, and innumerable experts of self-aggrandized consequence spend great swathes of time, effort, and someone's money working so hard to convince the people otherwise? continued at-> http://lewrockwell.com/orig12/westfall1.1.1.h... |
