Why Are They Lying About Ron Paul?
By Cliff Kincaid | May 18, 2007

“Some would say that Ron Paul’s foreign policy views, in this day and age, are somewhat naïve. But Giuliani’s assault, assisted by Fox News, which co-sponsored the debate, goes so far over the line that an honest media watchdog has to say something.”

A Good Rant

A Sham Democracy and It’s Pocket Media Kingmakers

“The one inescapable fact that the pocket media can never be allowed to come to light is that the entire political system has been corrupted beyond redemption by money, transnational corporations, financial cartels and those whose bottom lines depend on the death of those deemed lesser human beings than Americans so as to better slaughter them and plunder the resources of their countries in the process. God forbid if the ugly realities of life where to ever intrude upon the hive/colony mentality of the masses of easily manageable ants here in the Homeland.”

A Military Hero ?

Did Admiral William Fallon derail the Bush Admin’s rush to war with Iran?

Fallon’s resistance to a further buildup of naval striking power in the Gulf apparently took the Bush administration by surprise. Fallon, then commander of the US Pacific Command, had been associated with naval aviation throughout his career, and in January Secretary of Defense Robert Gates publicly encouraged the idea that the appointment presaged greater emphasis on the military option in regard to the US conflict with Iran.

Inside My Bald Head

Josh Kaufman of “The Personal MBA” writes a letter to family and friends.

After much thought and consideration, I’m officially supporting Ron Paul for US President

Well written with supporting links to Dr. Paul’s videos and speeches.
