Title: Bad for America, Bad for Israel, Bad for the World (Dr. Ron Paul)

Mr. Speaker: I rise in opposition to H.R. 4133, the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act, which unfortunately is another piece of one-sided and counterproductive foreign policy legislation. This bill’s real intent seems to be more saber-rattling against Iran and Syria, and it undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts by making clear that the U.S. is not an honest broker seeking peace for the Middle East.

The bill calls for the United States to significantly increase our provision of sophisticated weaponry to Israel, and states that it is to be U.S. policy to “help Israel preserve its qualitative military edge” in the region.

While I absolutely believe that Israel — and any other nation — should be free to determine for itself what is necessary for its national security, I do not believe that those decisions should be underwritten by U.S. taxpayers and backed up by the U.S. military.

This bill states that it is the policy of the United States to “reaffirm the enduring commitment of the United States to the security of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.” However, according to our Constitution, the policy of the United States government should be to protect the security of the United States, not to guarantee the religious, ethnic, or cultural composition of a foreign country. In fact, our own Constitution prohibits the establishment of any particular religion in the U.S.

More than 20 years after the reason for NATO’s existence — the Warsaw Pact — has disappeared, this legislation seeks to find a new mission for that anachronistic alliance: the defense of Israel. Calling for “an expanded role for Israel within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including an enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises,” it reads like a dream for interventionists and the military-industrial complex. As I have said many times, NATO should be disbanded, not expanded.

This bill will not help the United States, it will not help Israel, and it will not help the Middle East. It will implicitly authorize much more U.S. interventionism in the region at a time when we cannot afford the foreign commitments we already have. It more likely will lead to war against Syria, Iran, or both. I urge my colleagues to vote against this bill.

This is such a simple and well articulated point.

It's no wonder RP wasn't invited to speak before influential Jewish groups this past December.

I agree with you.

However, being a cynic, I must look beyond the correctness of the statement, and ask myself, why has Ron Paul been reelected twelve times, run for president three times, always with an anti ISRAEL agenda and is tolerated and ignored? No combined effort by anyone to rid the Congress of such a person?

Cyni, I'm sensing that your well founded cynicism has morphed into a personal dislike, which tends to shade your opinion of RP from criticism to harshness. He's a good man, he has a solid message and this run isn't anything like '08. It's far better and he's staying in it till the end. He has grabbed the interest of some in the younger set and hopes of a movement far larger than one man is a possibility. Since no one I know is willing to stick a rifle out of their window yet, he's about the best we got right now.

The Knesset on the Potomac continues shovel dough out to Tel Aviv and the weaponsmiths in the MIC.

"The bill also calls for reports on how to speed the sale of F-35 fighter planes to Israel and the state of Israel's military edge. And finally, it would extend a $9 billion loan guarantee program that can help Israel borrow more cheaply. The program was established in 2003, and $3.8 billion of the loan guarantee authority remains." - http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/226423-us- israel-ties-reaffirmed-in-house-vote. They also get a billion bucks for more missiles.

Yesterday's vote was 411 yeas and 2 nays. John Dingell, Michigan and Ron Paul, Texas voted against this pandering piece of pork. Eight dems and one pubbie voted present and nine congresscritters did not vote.

This bill now goes to the Old Folks Home on the other side of the Capitol whose members will no doubt fall all over themselves in an effort to outdo one another in slavish and shameful displays of obeisance toward Shittylittlestan.

I suspect we all will have a different perspective on Ron Paul by November. I will not be shocked at whatever course he takes, you may well be.

We have to remember, Romney CANNOT WIN WITHOUT Ron Paul being for or neutral. A negative Paul and we have the black queer again. Wish and reality are NOT bed mates.

This is a great analysis of where we're at in this country. If Ropn Paul chose to sit back and live his life like so many others and some on here, we wouldn't have anybody trying to right the wrongs and shenanigans our government is forcing on us.

As for cynicom, well I would like to know what has happened in his past to make him so bitter towards Ron Paul. He seems to have a negative air about him and he his extremely skeptical just about every thing and everyone and he does it in a very harsh manner.

You get an A+ for this analysis, Jethro! It is spot on!

Your suggestion here is that RP, for the good of the party, will toss aside his principles for a Republican victory. I can honestly say you are nearly alone in your assessment for a number of reasons, the main one being fellow Rs despise him and an endorsement would not only cripple all RP has tried to build, but also it would hamstring his son's future, one you feel strongly is tied to his presidential run. Cyni, IMO he isn't going to Tampa with his delegates to back Romney.

1) He (or rather his delegates) may fight in Tampa, but when the nomination process is over and done, Paul will endorse Romney.

2) Paul's not trying to build or destroy anything. My dog has more will to power than Paul. Corollary: Paul does not care that a Romney endorsement will hurt his "cause." He simply does not understand.

3) A Romney endorsement will help Paul Jr., because most Paul Jr. voters will vote for Romney. Do you seriously think Paul Jr. himself isn't going to endorse Romney after Romney secures the nomination? Paul Jr. is less radical than daddy.

Paul Jr. is less radical than daddy.

Since Rand arrived I have taken care to read as much about his views as possible.

Rand tells us that "big labor" is to blame for the national debt, to blame for the deficit, to blame for lack of jobs, etc etc.

Thats fair but he neglects to tell his readers that big labor is now but eight per cent of the American work force.......

He is for all right to work laws as workers have no rights, then he announces that "doctors have the right to earn a COMFORTABLE living.

Paul has made a deal. If not I maintain the right to use as much ketchup as I like while eating crow.

Paul is a non interventionist. His policy toward Israel is the same as it is toward any other foreign nation. What they do isn't worth one American dollar or one American life. If Israel makes their neighbors enemies, that's their business, not ours. It's the essence of putting America first.

As I've said before, I haven't followed Rand Paul so I haven't a clue what his policies are. I do feel that the movement RP is building won't fit comfortably on the foot of just anyone, including his son. The young people, and the growing number of vets aren't party pods and leadership will have to be earned, not handed down which is the essence of elitism.

Romney is astute enough to know that Newtie, Santorum etc would fall in line and did.

He got them for nothing. Neither had a following of great value. Paul DOES have a large and vocal following, well organized and a force to be reckoned with.

That means Paul must stay neutral, go negative or positive. I say he goes positive to some unknown degree with Romney.

That is true, and that's another reason I don't think Paul has made a deal.

A Paul endorsement won't actually help Romney much.

---

This communication from Paul about this bill is 100% establishment respectable.

It is not revolutionary. It is not heretical.

HERESY would be basically the same communication, except to OMIT whether it's good for Israel.

HERESY would then be, when asked whether it's bad for Israel, to say "I don't know." Period.

This country is so far gone that our very survival, including the MIC, Big Bankers,MSM, the Courts, will all perish with the rest of us. A Ron Paul presidency is the only way we can turn things around. More and more people every day are beginning to wise up to the tyrants in Washington and on Wall St.

But Paul will endorse Romney out of a sense of duty to the country.

If Paul actually did have some will to power, more people on the left would bolt his way.

He's a good man, he has a solid message and this run isn't anything like '08. It's far better and he's staying in it till the end. He has grabbed the interest of some in the younger set and hopes of a movement far larger than one man is a possibility. Since no one I know is willing to stick a rifle out of their window yet, he's about the best we got right now.

Don't fall for his schtick JT. The guy is a liberal troll. He's been bad mouthing and trying to undermine Dr. Paul for years and just yesterday started bad mouthing and trying to undermine Hayek and Mises, two people who have contributed to more to Austrian economics than anyone in the 20th century and in the case of Hayek is considered by just about every Libertarian/classical liberal political junkie to be one the greatest political philosophers that ever lived.

You have to remember that he is a career federal bureaucrat who feels threatened by the ideas of Dr. Paul, von Mises, and Hayek. He's been a drain on society for his entire adult life and despises anyone who realizes it.

Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown

Romney was asked why he wouldn't cut one trillion out of this nations 15 trillion and growing debt.......he said:

“The reason,” Romney explained, “is taking a trillion dollars out of a $15 trillion economy would cause our economy to shrink [and] would put a lot of people out of work.”

So, he's a Keynesian just like Obama and has no plan to save money at all. I guess Romney forgot that the government can't spend $1 trillion without first taking it from the private sector or devaluation of the dollar by printing more debt. Either way.......we're screwed with an Omaba lite plan and there will be no saving of money.

“The reason,” Romney explained, “is taking a trillion dollars out of a $15 trillion economy would cause our economy to shrink [and] would put a lot of people out of work.”

So, he's a Keynesian just like Obama and has no plan to save money at all. I guess Romney forgot that the government can't spend $1 trillion without first taking it from the private sector or devaluation of the dollar by printing more debt. Either way.......we're screwed with an Omaba lite plan and there will be no saving of money.

Romney gives whores a good name.

He is soooooooooooooo owned.

But I take your point in the general sense that the purpose of "conservatives" is to secure the last revolution won by the left.

Simply endorsing his own son doesn't mean he's making a deal. And it's not like Paul can control his delegates anyway.

I don't think RP will endorse Oromney I think he will likely go neutral or vaguely negative - but not overtly or strongly negative.

Agree.

RP uses the Republican Party as a vehicle to promote his vision for America and not for the country club perks. Romney would and will surly look for his support, but I'd put the chances of that happening at zero percent.

Since Rand arrived I have taken care to read as much about his views as possible.

Rand tells us that "big labor" is to blame for the national debt, to blame for the deficit, to blame for lack of jobs, etc etc.

Thats fair but he neglects to tell his readers that big labor is now but eight per cent of the American work force.......

He is for all right to work laws as workers have no rights, then he announces that "doctors have the right to earn a COMFORTABLE living.

Paul has made a deal. If not I maintain the right to use as much ketchup as I like while eating crow.

It has been reported on more than one occasion that the US federal government is the largest employer in the United States. As one of the largest unions in the United States, the federal employees union, which you have been a lifelong member of, does indeed play a role in increasing our national debt.

Thats fair but he neglects to tell his readers that big labor is now but eight per cent of the American work force.......

Uh huh. First of all, you are a liar, which goes without saying since you are a liberal. Union Labor makes up 12.45% of the workforce. How many of that 12.4% are federal employees stealing money directly from the American taxpayer? Dr. Paul never claimed that they were the only ones playing a role.

He is for all right to work laws as workers have no rights, then he announces that "doctors have the right to earn a COMFORTABLE living.

Once again you toss out Democrat talking points and prove yourself to be nothing less than a liberal troll. It amazes me how many people on this board fall for your Obamabot bullshit.

Romney will save money.

What actions in his past public life makes you believe that he will save money? He is a Massachusetts Republican, meaning he's a big government liberal. That's how he governed Massachusetts and that's how he will govern the United States. His "saving money" likely means he MIGHT spend 1-3% less than what Obama would have spent. This might be enough for some but when you are talking trillions of dollars, that percentage is statistically insignificant to the point of being nonexistent in terms of the effects it will have.

I can see your having difficulty with the issue. Again, just because Paul uses the Republican Party as a vehicle to reach people with his freedom message doesn't mean he is a member of the 'club.' He isn't and most here know this simply by having watched the debates and seeing how different his positions on war and the economy are when compared to the other pubes. BTW, who is the last presidential nominee he endorsed? McCain? Bush II? Bush I? Dole? If the answer is that he didn't endorse any of them, I think you'll notice a distinct pattern which will carry through to November.

OK, so your answer is that RP HASN'T endorsed any of the previous nominees. We agree. And about Rand. If Pop wants to ensure that Rand forever carries a neocon yoke around his neck for the length of his political career, then he'll ENDORSE Romney.

All this misses the mark by a wide margin. RP has built a movement that will head on down to Tampa and be vocal. His movement is not a Republican movement, but rather a Fabian-like stealth attempt to infect the Republican party with libertarian thinkers. Is it possible? You bet. Think back to how the paleoconservatives in the Republican party squawked when the neoconservatives were allowed to stick their nose under the tent. Those same Zeos now control the party and the paleo's are on the outside looking in. So, we aren't discussing rudimentary math here, but rather a bold initiative to reform one wing of the national politic. It damn well is worth a shot.

The interesting thing though is that legitimizing sexual perversions, such as being queer, seem to be part of the agenda being dictated by the closeted fags and pedophiles of the Buildabuggerers and that which we refer to by the vague label NWO. Part of it is, I am sure, aimed at breaking up the family unit which forms a bedrock of opposition to their lascivious advances and it seems to tie into depopulation as well by encouraging sexuality that is of a non-reproductive type. Also they are a bunch of perverts themselves and want to be able to openly practice their perversions and to, metaphorically of course, shove them down everybody's throat.

This entire gay marriage thing is entirely about economics and insurance. Nobody in their right (middle aged) mind wants to get married to anything; a piece of paper means diddly as far as keeping a loving, or dysfunctional couple together. This argument is about a tax deduction, shared medical insurance and inheritance, should their be any upon the death of a significant other. If the various states settle the economic/insurance matter, this non issue goes away IMO.

But, Cyni my dear, you are already ticked off at Dr. Paul, so why is his endorsement so important to you?

Good heavens...

Recall Ron told me and anyone listening four years ago he was a true blue and loyal republican forever. I stopped giving money with the Trotski memo. Now his son is a true blue republican and I have distinct dislike for members of the one party system.

You send a note to Ron, endorse Johnson now and hit the campaign trail for him.

This bill states that it is the policy of the United States to “reaffirm the enduring commitment of the United States to the security of the State of Israel as a Jewish state.” However, according to our Constitution, the policy of the United States government should be to protect the security of the United States, not to guarantee the religious, ethnic, or cultural composition of a foreign country. In fact, our own Constitution prohibits the establishment of any particular religion in the U.S.

NEVERTHELESS, our own CONgress passed the antiChrist, Satanic Noahide Laws that America is set up to enforce.

Examining Israel's Role in the NOAHIDE LAWS And Christian Genocide Worldwide

http://americanholocaustcoming.blogspot.com/

Excerpt:

"....the Sanhedrin based out of Jerusalem believe in and support mass Christian genocide, both in Jerusalem, throughout Israel, and in fact worldwide.

After all, they are a WORLDWIDE court. It is their full intention to impose the Noahide Laws demands upon every nation, as admitted in their literature and website.

To behead untold millions of Christians worldwide, and throughout Israel/Palestine as well, you must have practical means to fulfill this.

Such mass beheadings require the use of THE MODERN MILITARY GUILLOTINES that I have been documenting for 17 years now. Such worldwide demands for mass executions would also require enlisting the aid of military forces worldwide as a practical measure.

This has already happened covertly in America, using American tax dollars, and without the knowledge or consent of the vast majority of her people and her endangered Christian population....

Since the Jews and Sanhedrin court based out of Jerusalem, Israel, fully intend to behead all Christian offenders under their Noahide Laws, do you think that Israel's leaders and the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem are somehow ignorant of the modern military guillotines created only for this distinct purpose, including those military guillotines documented to be in AMERICA??

The Noahide Laws in America were presented by Lubavitch Chabad in Washington DC to the Senate and House, and through deceitful efforts (as explained by former Congressman Dannemeyer) [ http://www.takebackourrights.org...ristians-full%20page.html / http://www.takebackourrights.org/docs/noahidelaw.html ] were secretly passed, and then signed into actual legislation by President G. W. Bush.

What legitimate place in American legislation does this deadly, distinctly anti-American,anti-religious freedom and anti-Christian legislation have? According to our Constitution and the first Amendment, NONE!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is distinctly Jewish in origin, with it's presiding Sanhedrin in Jerusalem, Israel. Which means it is NOT American, nor does it have any right to gravely endanger the right of religious freedoms and RIGHT TO LIFE of millions of American Christians!

Palestinian and Israeli Christians must ask: What does Israel plan to do to the Palestinian/Israeli Christians under the Noahide Laws?

What do they plan to do to the other Christians living in Israel under the Noahide Laws?

My military sources revealed the modern guillotines are now found worldwide. And if these guillotines to fulfill Noahide Laws demands are already present in North America, would they not certainly be present in ISRAEL, from whence these Noahide Laws and their world court emanates?

Since the Noahide Laws court is based out of Jerusalem, Israel, what role do you think Israel and her government must play in supporting the Noahide Laws?

Due to Israel's close ties with America and the American government, also ties through their dual citizenship people in the American government (whose first loyalty is to the Jews and Israel,) plus the fact that the Noahide Laws are Jewish in origin....we are compelled to ask: what is Israel's hidden role in the enforcement of the coming genocide of America's Christians under their Noahide Laws?

These are realistic and serious questions that must be asked by endangered Christians, both in America, in Israel/Palestine, and throughout the world.

THE NOAHIDE LAWS THREAT TO CHRISTIAN EXISTENCE IS REAL.

WHILE MASQUERADING AS A TOOL FOR WORLD PEACE, THE IMPOSITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE NOAHIDE LAWS PRESENTS A CLEAR PLAN FOR CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE WORLDWIDE, TO ADVANCE OBVIOUSLY JEWISH ZIONIST PLANS FOR WORLD DOMINION AND REMOVE THE CHRISTIAN OBSTACLE......"

Let's not forget Obama can pick us up for any reason, assassinate us, or DEPORT US, SAY TO THE SANHEDRIN IN "THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL" [ http://www.realzionistnews.com/?p=193 ], AND ZOG WANTS US TO PAY FOR IT TOO.

The Fed is the greatest evil in this country and has been so for 100 years now.

There is no way in hell that Paul or anyone else is ever going to be President campaigning against the Fed. Wont happen.

If Paul were a rabble rouser and could carry the masses on simple things they understand, he would have a chance. Taking the high ground will never work. Gentleman and politician does not fit in the same sentence.

Lead by example.

Most of Pauls speeches contain the word "revolution" at the very beginning. At the end, one comes away with the impression that Paul really means "reform from within the system".

Lot of difference between reform and revolution. Going back to his first effort in politics, Paul was all for term limits, no lifelong grasp of power. That fell by the wayside when he realized the system could not be changed. So he was reelected twelve times, like the rest, all within the system. I cannot say for sure if I recall him speaking of term limits anymore.

So, if we cannot obtain reform within, why should the system destroy their hold on power by allowing a revolution from within???? It has not and will not.

Paul is totally devoid of the word "action" in his vocabulary. Going back to our first true revolution, we had dozens of men advocating "action". The British were on the hunt for them, several had to run for their lives. When the time for military action came, they were there and we are the result.

What they gained way back then, we have frittered away, bit by bit and now the yoke has been applied. The South tried to warn us but the North prevailed and the entire country LOST.

Ron Paul, good man, honest, intelligent, loves his country but he stands alone at the top and he will not or cannot initiate action.
