The Complete and Undeniable Truth - Larken Rose


People who cannot handle uncomfortable truths best skip this post...

But if you're open to logical consistency, even when it appears to turn all your learned beliefs upside down, please listen carefully and take some time to think about it.

Thanks for maintaining an open mind.

Government Explained - Very Clearly!


Disclaimer: The USA is (supposed to be) NOT a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic.
There is a major difference!

Ron Paul - Face to Face

A fairly aggressive but fair interview challenging Ron Paul's stand on American and global politics, by Jon Ralston. Watch how Paul does not fall for suggestive questioning, does not bow down to the aggressiveness. For all who think Ron Paul is unelectable, who think this man will pose a threat to America, this is a must-see interview.

Drop your prejudice, take a step back, sit down and listen to what is being said, not who is saying it. Then, after you have formed your informed opinion, do think about who says it, and how he's consistently been saying this for the past 30 years. I read a response on a blog somewhere recently that sums up what Ron Paul is, and how he's being looked at and thought about. Someone wrote:
Ron Paul appears to be a bit of an odd character, until you start realizing that everything he's said and predicted over the years has the eery tendency to (have) become reality.
The exact quote escapes me, but it was something along these lines, and I think that pretty much sums it up.

In loving memory: Common Sense

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
   - Knowing when to come in out of the rain,
   - Why the early bird gets the worm,
   - Life isn't always fair, and
   - Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies, don't spend more than you can earn and adults, not children, are in charge.

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student, but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife Discretion, his daughter Responsibility, and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers: I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else Is To Blame and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.

If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, do nothing.
