First there was Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Somalia (yes, this is a US started war), and now there is Lebanon/Palestine. Please follow me here step by step: For a description of the US "redirection", i.e. using Al-Qaeda to fight Hezbollah and the Shia in Iraq, please read this. Then for a description of what the effects on the groud are, read this. For a confirmation that the US is, indeed, behind this attack see here. Finally, here is an accout of what is going on written by a Lebanese...

Thanks David Weigel: Reason: What did you mean when you told the Scholars that "the [9/11] investigation is an investigation in which there were government cover-ups"? Paul: I do think there were cover-ups, and I think it was mainly to cover up who was blamed, who's inept. See, they had the information. The FBI had an agent who was very much aware of the terrorists getting flight lessons but obviously not training to be pilots. He reported it 70 times or whatever and it was totally ignored. We...

At 9:30am on Thursday, May 24, 2007. Ron Paul and Michael Scheuer, the former Chief of the CIA's Osama Bin Laden unit, will ‘Educate Rudy’ about the true causes that led up to 9/11. The meeting will be conducted at the National Press Club in Washington DC.

We read the following headline in today's Financial Times:  US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warned a Chinese delegation led by vice-premier Wu Yi that rising anti-China sentiment in the US was being fuelled by 'persistent trade and financial imbalances' This interleaves perfectly with the article describing the "New Asian Arms Race".  The blood has not finished congealing in Iraq or in Afghanistan and the masters of empire are already setting up a new bogeyman for the US to go after.  This...

Looks like Bushco is getting desperate...  Too bad that Bush fired Gen. Shinseki when he told him that he needed 300,000 troops, way back when. If any military people read this blog you should be aware of a couple of things: Bush does not care about the people of Iraq or of Afghanistan and whether they ever gain "democracy" or not. Bush does not care about the American people and if they are ever "safe" from terrorism. Bush does not care how many people get killed to save his reputation. The...

Scott has done amazing work on the Sibel Edmonds case. We are currently asking that people call Waxman's office to demand hearings into her case. He has previously promised to hold hearings, and now refuses to even respond to any of our requests... Campaign headquarters are at Let Sibel Edmonds Speak. I'll have a new post every day this week - Monday, and Tuesday have already been posted. Tomorrow (probably) I'll explain how Sibel's case is related to the 'AIPAC case' - and more specifically,...

The following is a letter from Michael F. Scheuer, former Chief of the CIA’s Osama bin Laden Unit, to the editor of Antiwar.com, regarding Congressman Ron Paul’s exchange with Rudy Giuliani about why the al Qaeda network has targeted the United States. Sir, In the dozen-plus years I have been active in matters relating to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, I have watched them go from a small Islamist organization to a worldwide insurgent movement, while bin Laden has established himself as the...

News about him supposedly being a racist is making the rounds again and it looks as though it could hurt him - especially if it continues to be reported uncritically that the racist screed in his 1980s newsletter was his, when in fact it was not. I don't know what the Paul campaign is planning to do about this, but Texas Monthly reported in October 2001: In one issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report, which he had published since 1985, he called former U.S. representative Barbara Jordan a...

That's what they're saying at USAElectionPolls.com. I wonder if anyone will contact the pollsters to find out why? What are you doing to help support? Here's the Youtube of Ron the other night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmwDH-Ynung

I borrowed the term "Ineptocrat" from some Israelis who coined it to describe those who started their recent, futile, war in Lebanon... Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice, Powell and the usual suspects.  A cursory review of their Iraq and Afghanistan policies since 9-11 reveals a disaster in terms of both human life and America's once high standing in the eyes of the world.  Whatever "cred" the US once had in the world community is rapidly being poured out into the sands of both...

Though I have held Dr. Ron Paul in the very highest regard for many years now, I have been very happy in the last weeks to have read the words "I just heard of Ron Paul" and "Wow, who is Ron Paul anyway?" over and over as his heroic stand for the truth in last Tuesday's debate against Rudy Giuliani's propaganda that al Qaeda targets America for our goodness has catapulted him to national fame. Dr. Paul is not just a congressman. He is a true and tireless champion of liberty and the structures...

Just a minute or 2 ago. And he kicked ass. Here's the Youtube - I can never get the embedding to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD9eO7qToTk&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fblog%2Elewrockwell%2Ecom%2F
