Is the Libertarian Moment Over?

Scott Walker’s rapid rise finally seems to have dented Rand Paul’s numbers in the national polls testing who Republicans want to see as their 2016 presidential nominee. While Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have fallen behind, as late as mid-February Paul was still in the double digits even in polls showing Walker competitive with Jeb Bush. Now three national polls—McClatchy/Marist, Quinnipiac and Public Policy Polling— have the Kentucky senator in the single digits. He’s ahead of candidates like Rubio and Cruz, yet in the RealClearPolitics polling average Paul not only trails Walker and Bush but also Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson. Is the libertarian moment over?

Feds raid Texas political meeting Fingerprint, photograph all attendees, seize phones Published: 1 day ago www.wnd.com/wp-content/pl...wp-print/images/print.png In a deliberate “show of force,” federal and local police forces raided a political meeting in Texas, fingerprinting and photographing all attendees as well as confiscating all cell phones and personal recording devices. Members of the Republic of Texas, a secession movement dedicated to restoring Texas as an independent constitutional republic, had gathered Feb. 14 in a Bryan, Texas, meeting hall along with public onlookers. They were debating issues of currency, international relations and celebrating ...
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY: WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?

Late Friday night, Congress passed legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security for one week. This vote followed weeks of debate over efforts to attach a prohibition on funding President Obama’s executive order granting amnesty to certain illegal immigrants to the Homeland Security funding bill. Despite the heated rhetoric from both sides, no one seriously believes that Congress will allow Homeland Security funding to lapse. Most in Congress believe that, without the Department of Homeland Security, Americans would be left unprotected from terrorists and natural disasters. As with most areas of bipartisan agreement, the truth is the exact opposite of the DC consensus. The ...
The Neoconservative Threat To International Relations

This week I was invited to address an important conference of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. Scholars from Russia and from around the world, Russian government officials, and the Russian people seek an answer as to why Washington destroyed during the past year the friendly relations between America and Russia that President Reagan and President Gorbachev succeeded in establishing. All of Russia is distressed that Washington alone has destroyed the trust between the two major nuclear powers that had been created during the Reagan-Gorbachev era, trust that had removed the threat of nuclear armageddon. Russians at every level are astonished at the virulent propaganda and lies ...
Ukraine's Dr. Strangelove

Ukraine's Dr. Strangelove by Stephen Lendman Film buffs may recall Stanley Kubrick's 1964 dark satire titled "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." It depicted deranged general Jack D. Ripper's obsession to wage nuclear war - despite no Pentagon authorization. Obama may be lunatic enough to launch one. The film ends ominously - with nuclear detonations accompanied by popular British singer Vera Lynn's famous WW II "We'll Meet Again" recording. A previous article discussed Ukraine's deputy foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko briefly. He sounds like Jack D. Ripper. Interviewed by Canada's CBC Radio The House ...
RON PAUL: U.S., EU BEHIND UKRAINE COUP

West behind overthrow of Ukrainian government, former congressman says The overthrow of the legally elected government of Ukraine was “was not only supported by U.S. and EU governments — much of it was actually planned by them,” former congressman Dr. Ron Paul said. In his weekly column posted Sunday, Dr. Paul blamed western interventionism for the death and destruction in Ukraine’s ongoing civil war. “Looking back at the events that led to the overthrow it is clear that without foreign intervention Ukraine would not be in its current, seemingly hopeless situation,” he wrote. “By the end of 2013 [before the coup], Ukraine’s economy was in ruins. ...
HILARY CLINTON EXPOSED PART 1 – HOW SHE AGGRESSIVELY LOBBIED FOR MEGA CORPORATIONS AS SECRETARY OF STATE

With another Bush and another Clinton likely on the ballot, there’s basically only one candidate running That approach, which Mrs. Clinton called “economic statecraft,” emerged in discussions with Robert Hormats, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. investment banker who has worked in Democratic and Republican administrations and became an undersecretary of state. “One of the very first items was, how do we strengthen the role of the State Department in economic policy?” he says. Early in Mrs. Clinton’s tenure, according to Mr. Hormats, Microsoft’s then Chief Research Officer Craig Mundie asked the State Department to send a ranking official to a fourth ...

How Many More Wars?

Last week President Obama sent Congress legislation to authorize him to use force against ISIS “and associated persons and forces” anywhere in the world for the next three years. This is a blank check for the president to start as many new wars as he wishes, and it appears Congress will go along with this dangerous and costly scheme. Already the military budget for next year is equal to all but the very peak spending levels during the Vietnam war and the Reagan military build-up, according to the Project on Defense Alternatives. Does anyone want to guess how much will be added to military spending as a result of this new war authorization? The US has already spent nearly two ...
Down With the Presidency

The presidency must be destroyed. It is the primary evil we face, and the cause of nearly all our woes. It squanders the national wealth and starts unjust wars against foreign peoples that have never done us any harm. It wrecks our families, tramples on our rights, invades our communities, and spies on our bank accounts. It skews the culture towards decadence and trash. It tells lie after lie. Teachers used to tell schools kids that anyone can be president. This is like saying anyone can go to Hell. It’s not an inspiration; it’s a threat. The presidency — by which I mean the executive state — is the sum total of American tyranny. The other branches of government, ...

Apple Said to Be Working on Electric Car to Challenge Tesla Don't Miss Out — February 14, 2015 Philip "Phil" Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple Inc., said in 2012 court testimony that executives discussed building a car even before it built the iPhone, which was released in 2007. Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. is working on an electric vehicle, according to people familiar with the matter, showing the consumer-electronics giant is open to stepping outside its lucrative focus on mobile devices. Apple has put a few hundred employees to work on the secretive project, said one of the people, who asked ...
Net Neutrality Is a Trojan Horse Virus Infecting the Internet

Last week Tom Wheeler, chairman of the FCC, published an op-ed piece for Wired which laid out his strategy to "ensure net neutrality" by treating the Internet as a public utility and applying the same types of regulations that are used for phone and electric companies. Many groups favor the move because of the promise of reining in irresponsible Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Net neutrality promises to protect Internet users by barring ISPs from limiting use of the Internet or charging extra fees for streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon. There is a real problem, to be sure. ISPs have used a method called "choking" to limit the speeds of streaming services ...
OBAMA’S FORCE AUTHORIZATION IS A BLANK CHECK FOR WAR WORLDWIDE

The president is requesting Congress to pass an authorization for the use of military force (AUMF) resolution against ISIS. Congress has not issued a similar resolution since 2002, when President Bush was given the authority to wage war against Iraq. The purpose of this resolution is to give official authority to the president to do the things that he has already been doing for the past six years. Seems strange but this is typical for Washington. President Obama’s claim is that he does not need this authority. He claims, as have all other recent presidents, that the authority to wage war in the Middle East has been granted by the resolutions passed in 2001, 2002, and by article II of ...

And the War Party is pushing to prop up their Ukrainian sock puppets When Ukrainian army officers came to the Ukrainian village of Velikaya Znamenka to tell the men to prepare to be drafted, they weren’t prepared for what happened next. As the commanding officer was speaking, a woman seized the microphone and proceeded to tell him off: "We’re sick of this war! Our husbands and sons aren’t going anywhere!" She then launched into a passionate speech, denouncing the war, and the coup leaders in Kiev, to the cheers of the crowd. What she did is now a crime in Ukraine: the only reason she wasn’t arrested on the spot is that the villagers wouldn’t have ...
The Cowardly and Despicable American Presstitutes

February 5, 2015. There is a brouhaha underway about an American journalist who told a story about being in a helicopter in a war zone. The helicopter was hit and had to land. Which war zone and when I don’t know. The US has created so many war zones that it is difficult to keep up with them all, and as you will see, I am not interested in the story for its own sake. It turns out that the journalist has remembered incorrectly. He was in a helicopter in a war zone, but it wasn’t hit and didn’t have to land. The journalist has been accused of lying in order to make himself seem to be “a more seasoned war correspondent than he is.” The journalist’s ...

Sen. Rand Paul: Most Vaccines Should Be 'Voluntary' Monday, 02 Feb 2015 07:39 PM By Jason Devaney Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a potential Republican candidate for president next year, doesn't think American children should be required to have every vaccine that is available. "I'm not anti-vaccine at all, but most of them ought to be voluntary," Paul said on Laura Ingraham's radio program Monday. Ingraham asked Paul about his thoughts on vaccines, which occurs near the end of the 17-minute interview, after both President Barack Obama and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie publicly commented on children getting vaccinated for measles. There is currently a measles ...

Ali Saleh al-Marri is a convicted conspirator who entered the United States before 9/11 in order to create a dreaded sleeper cell here that might someday launch an attack on Americans similar to what we witnessed earlier this month in Paris. When the feds woke from their slumber on 9/11, they wisely began to search immigration records for persons who came here with no discernible purpose from places known to spawn terrorist groups and who had overstayed their visas. Al-Marri was one such person. The feds arrested him, originally on the visa violation, and then, after connecting the dots, on a series of conspiracies to aid terrorist organizations here and elsewhere. After he was arrested ...

Liberals Are Going Crazy (Again) Over Sarah Palin’s Latest Facebook Photo (Yes, There’s a Gun) SarahPalin In her few short years in the national spotlight, Sarah Palin has become a magnet for Liberal contempt. High on the list of things they hate about the woman is her love of hunting. Recently Palin was in Texas filming for the second season of “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,” her show on the Sportsman Channel. She hadn’t been in the state long when she bagged her first prey, a huge javelina. SarahJavelina “Everything’s bigger in Texas,” she captioned the photo. The former governor also posted a link to her daughter’s blog, where Bristol ...

Fahrenthold January 25 at 7:59 PM HOUSTON — Rand Paul wants to lead the United States. On Saturday in Texas, his father was speaking at a conference about how to leave it. “A lot of times people think secession, they paint it as an absolute negative,” said former representative Ron Paul (R-Tex.). After all, Paul said, the American Revolution was a kind of secession. “You ...

Puzzled by the title? It will all come clear. Europeans have written to me with more information that raises questions about the Charlie Hebdo affair. Some point out the strange emptiness of the street on which the professional killers depart. Others point out the film has hallmarks of orchestration or staging. Still others point out the size and described physical attributes of the killers do not correspond with the accused brothers and that the getaway car turns away from the scene differently from the official description. Another puzzle is that the video of the police assault on the deli repeatedly shows police moving in front of other police who are firing their weapons, yet despite ...

His Web maven once attacked the Republicans’ foreign policy and McCain’s ‘blood lust.’ She apologized, but will her comments wound the wannabe president’s campaign? When Rand Paul stepped out of his SUV in the parking lot of the Peppermill Restaurant in Las Vegas last Friday, he was trailed by a woman with bright white hair who looked like a cross between a campaign operative and a fairy. I immediately recognized her as “Libertarian Girl,” a blogger and social-media personality who over the last few years has amassed a large following of hundreds of thousands by sharing her every political thought—and lots of selfies —on Facebook, Twitter, and ...

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Yemen's powerful Shiite Houthi rebels shelled the residence of the country's embattled president Tuesday and simultaneously swept into the presidential palace in the capital, Sanaa, as a top military commander warned that a full-fledged "coup" was underway. President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was inside the residence as it came under "heavy shelling" for half an hour but he was unharmed and protected by guards, officials said. In New York, the U.N. Security Council held an emergency meeting over the chaos in Sanaa. The shelling was a dramatic development that put the U.S.-backed Hadi into a precarious position and represented the ...
Genocide in Donbas

Genocide in Donbas by Stephen Lendman Last April, Kiev launched premeditated naked aggression on Donbas. Mischaracterized as a "counterterrorism" operation. Fighting raged for months. Abated somewhat following agreed on September Minsk protocol terms. Never stopped. Illegitimate oligarch president Petro Poroshenko vowed to crush Donbas resistance. Intends full-scale war. Wants fascist tyranny replacing Donbas democracy. Last May, the reliable Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF) called Kiev's war on Donbas a "genocide campaign." Believing at the time anti-junta resistance would spread across Ukraine. Not so far. Perhaps ahead. Kiev fascists want fundamental ...

The neocons are flipping out over a column at the Ron Paul Institute that suggests the Charlie Hebdo Massacre was a false flag operation. Here’s neocon Field Commander Bill Kristol: 123 456 So what is this? How often does Commander Kristol click over to RPI? There is less than a 60 minute difference between the 2 tweets. I hope the commander is making a donation, though I don’t expect him to come in at the Hero of Peace level. As for the column run by RPI, it was written by Paul Craig Roberts, PCR is a a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. WSJ is, of course, considered by those in the know, the War Street ...

This isn’t about free speech – it’s about war Six months ago, 20-year-old Christopher Lee Cornell, an American convert to Islam living with his parents in Green Township, Ohio, attracted the attention of the FBI. We don’t know the reason for their initial interest, although it’s likely Cornell’s vocal adherence to Muslim religious beliefs had much to do with it. In any case, he was put under surveillance and, at some point, an FBI informant seeking leniency for crimes he had committed got in touch with Cornell at the Bureau’s request. This was the genesis of the "terrorist plot" to bomb the Capitol in Washington the feds are trumpeting as a ...
