The Republican "Small Government" Fraud Tuesday, 28 August 2012 13:53 By Lawrence S Wittner, History News Network | Op-Ed 2 font size decrease font size increase font size Print Email One of the most widely-advertised but falsest claims in American politics is that the modern Republican Party stands for "small government." In the distant past, leading Republicans were indeed sharp critics of statism. And even today a few marginal party activists, like U.S. Representative Ron Paul, have championed limited government -- even libertarian -- policies. But this is not at all the norm for the contemporary GOP. For example, the Republican Party has stood up with remarkable ...

Murray Energy Miners Allege They Had To Give Up Pay To Attend 'Mandatory' Romney Rally (AUDIO) T Would you give up a day’s pay to see Mitt Romney in the flesh? Workers at one Ohio coal mine might not have had a choice. Earlier this month, Mitt Romney was welcomed for a campaign event at the Century Mine in Beallsville, Ohio, by hundreds of coal workers and their families. Now many of the mine's workers are saying they were forced to give up a day-worth of pay to attend the event, and they feared they might be fired if they didn’t, according to local news radio WWVA. The claims have been mostly denied by Rob Moore, Chief Financial Officer of Murray Energy Company, ...

The following essay appeared in the March, 2000 issue of Citizens Informer. It is reprinted at SecondAmendment.net with permission of the author. “We are in a strange state when you can insult someone by accusing him of having told the truth - which he then strenuously denies” Jared Taylor, July 1996. During the first week of March there was a great brouhaha raised by liberals, led by their front-person, William Jefferson Clinton: Gun locks, licensing of gun owners, background checks for all sales at gunshows, move toward outlawing all guns, and more of the same. What caused this latest outbreak of anti-gun hysteria? Two more perps used handguns to kill innocents. One in ...

Presstitute Media Cover-up Culture “The day we see truth and do not speak is the day we begin to die.” - Martin Luther King by Paul Craig Roberts Conspiracy theories have now blossomed into what the smug presstitute media calls a“conspiracy culture.” According to the presstitutes, Americans have to find some explanation for their frustrations and failings, so Americans shift the blame to the Bilderbergers, the Rothschilds, the New World Order and so forth and so on. Readers will not be surprised that I disagree with the presstitutes. Indeed, the conspiracy culture is the product of the presstitute media’s failure to investigate and to report truthfully. I ...

America’s Descent into Poverty By Paul Craig Roberts August 25, 2012 "Information Clearing House" ---- The United States has collapsed economically, socially, politically, legally, constitutionally, and environmentally. The country that exists today is not even a shell of the country into which I was born. In this article I will deal with America’s economic collapse. In subsequent articles, I will deal with other aspects of American collapse. Economically, America has descended into poverty. As Peter Edelman says, “Low-wage work is pandemic.” Today in “freedom and democracy” America, “the world’s only superpower,” one fourth of the ...

He is holding a fundraiser at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. It is distasteful for an American political candidate to hold a high profile fundraiser abroad, implying a commitment to a foreign country as a means of reaching out to American interest groups (in Romney’s case, Christian Zionists among the evangelicals and the ...

US drone strike kills 18 in North Waziristan Fri Aug 24, 2012 12:37PM GMT Share U.S. assassination drone aircraft killed at least 18 people on Friday in an attack in northwest Pakistan, Pakistani officials said, just a day after the government summoned an American diplomat to protest drone strikes in the country’s northwest tribal region. The strike took place at about noon time when U.S. drones reportedly fired at least two missiles at a living compound in the Shawal area of North Waziristan, destroying many houses inside the compound. The U.S. has carried out seven drone strikes in the past week in North Waziristan, ignoring Pakistani protests that they violate the ...

We were told by officials that this is due to normal office fires but when you look at the videos of these fires they are fairly scattered and relatively small,” said ...

Law Professor Says One Of Romney's Tax-Avoidance Schemes Is Illegal Henry Blodget | Aug. 26, 2012, 7:19 AM | 6,248 | 109 inShare13 Email More Mitt Romney Uriel Sinai/Getty Images Legal experts continue to crawl through the massive cache of Mitt Romney's Bain fund documents that Gawker published on Thursday. And one law professor, Victor Fleischer of the University of Colorado, believes he has found a tax-avoidance trick used by the funds that is illegal. As expected, the Bain funds appear to have employed pretty much every sophisticated tax-dodging scheme in the book, including: creating "blocker" corporations that allow the funds to avoid business taxes, entering ...

Dear thomas: This weekend marks the anniversary of the most brutal confrontation in the history of the American labor movement, the Battle of Blair Mountain. For one week during 1921, armed, striking coal miners battled scabs, a private militia, police officers and the US Army. 100 people died, 1,000 were arrested, and one million shots were fired. It was the largest armed rebellion in America since the Civil War. This is how it happened. In the Twenties, West Virginia coal miners lived in "company towns." The mining companies owned all the property. They literally ran union organizers out of town - or killed them. In 1912, in a strike at Paint Creek, the mining company forced ...

Whittaker Chambers said that "the great failing of American conservatives is they do not retrieve their wounded." He had it right, as Todd Akin can testify. In an interview that aired last Sunday, Akin, the Republican candidate for Senate in Missouri, was asked whether he opposed abortions for women who had been raped. Akin's reply: "From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. ... If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down ... . "But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking ...

Kids and adults alike interact with friendly 'Army troops' daily Disneyland, billed by some as "the happiest place on earth" is subliminally acclimating Americans to having troops patrol the streets. Located in Anaheim California, a focus of local protests since police shot three people in one month, the corporate behemoth marches out green Army men every day to interact with the kids in Disney's California Adventure Park. The parades, launched under the pretext of a nearly twenty year old movie "Toy Story", occur multiple times daily. The green Army characters march about, drive down the streets in their Army vehicle, play drums and interact with ...

We were all mesmerized with the strange story of Casey Anthony and her missing daughter, Caylee, whose body was later found in a wooded area... and the seemingly odd fashion in which the young mom dealt with the news of her daughter's disappearance and death. After a trial that was televised and covered on all major news platforms, Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter and most of the country was in shock. Now, it's been a year since the trial verdict and Casey Anthony is nearly done with her one-year probation for check fraud, which means that soon, she will be a completely free woman. Do you still have doubts about the trial verdict? Do you ...

AUGUST 22, 2012 In August 2003, some colleagues and I were held up by armed bandits on the highway in Fallujah, Iraq. (Don't ask why I was dumb enough to be wandering around Fallujah.) My bandit -- there were quite a few of them, but I like to think of the guy who stuck a gun in my face as my bandit -- was straight out of central casting, complete with a red kerchief around his mouth and nose to disguise his facial features.
