This ad from RevolutionPAC is amazing. Below is a clip of Ron Paul talking about it, he hadn't seen the ad before it aired. He says he doesn't even remember the incident and he was just doing his job. What an incredible contrast to the scum-sucking parasites he's running against.

Contrary to what the Mainstream media would have you believe today, Mitt Romney is not “surging in Iowa”.
A newly released CNN poll out of Iowa suggests that Mitt Romney is once again in the lead ahead of Ron Paul going into the caucuses. However, it is fundamentally flawed in that it does not take into accoun... (more)
Appearing on Alex Jones’ nationally syndicated radio show today, the former governor of Minnesota and best selling author, Jesse Ventura, emphatically declared his support for Ron Paul’s presidential run.
"Ron Paul has Governor Jesse Ventura’s endorsement without a doubt," he said. "It’s not even close. Because I want a new president that is going to change the direction of this country. I want a new president that is going to follow the Constitution. I wan... (more)
A comparison between the media treatment of Iowa Caucus 2008, where Ron Paul wasn't leading, and Iowa Caucus 2012, where he is leading. Take note Iowans, the elitist media hates you because you are defenders of the United States Constitution and freedom.
Thanks to Ron Paul, the Conservative movement is having an identity crisis. The old guard of the Conservative movement, which also happens to be the Republican Party establishment, still clings to the old creation myth of the Conservative movement. Namely, that there was no opposition to the New Deal-Liberal consensus until William F. Buckley and National Review came along in 1955, saving America from the American left, social democracy, moral turpitude and inter... (more)
New light bulb efficiency standards will begin phasing in on Jan. 1 despite intense opposition from conservatives, who have blasted the rules as a textbook unnecessary federal regulation.
A cat that helped a Phoenix man overcome his heroin addiction was euthanized just hours after he brought it to an Arizona Humane Society for treatment of a laceration.
Humane Society officials confirmed Tuesday that the 9-month-old cat, named Scruffy, was put down not because of its wounds, but because its owner could not immediately pay for its care.
Scruffy's owner, Daniel Dockery, who had been searching for the cat since taking it to the Humane Society's Campus f... (more)
When Pompton Lakes police seized Darren Richardson’s car on a rainy September afternoon, they told him it was headed for an impound lot. When they returned it three weeks later, he says, the 2004 BMW belonged in a junk yard.
The instrument cluster and leather dashboard were gone. The caramel-colored seats were torn up. The gear shift was ripped out and stray wires hung limp everywhere. Geico, Richardson’s insurance company estimated the damage at $12,636.42 — mor... (more)
The Internet's most popular destinations, including eBay, Google, Facebook, and Twitter seem to view Hollywood-backed copyright legislation as an existential threat.
It was Google co-founder Sergey Brin who warned that the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect IP Act "would put us on a par with the most oppressive nations in the world." Craigslist founder Craig Newmark, Twitter co-foun... (more)
GoDaddy, the domain register targeted by online activists in response to its enthusiasm for a pair of Hollywood-backed copyright bills, has finally denounced the legislation in response to a boycott scheduled for today.
Warren Adelman, the company's chief executive, said today that "GoDaddy opposes SOPA," meaning the Stop Online Pira... (more)
I saw some technical analysis types saying gold falling below $1532 could cause a huge price collapse, gold fell below the indicator but is holding strong as of 2:50 AM and is up ~30$.
Dec. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Gold is poised to complete its 11th consecutive annual gain, the longest winning streak in at least nine decades, on the brink of a bear market.
George Soros, the billionaire who two years ago called it the "ultimate asset bubble," cut 99 percent of his holdings in the first quarter, Securities and Exchange Commission data show. Hedge fund managers John Paulson, Paul Touradji and Eric Mindich also sold bullion this year. While speculators in New York futures... (more)
The deflationary narrative has been getting a lot of traction lately, with no overt QE3 being announced, not to mention the 10-year mark being passed, it seemed like a pullback was due. Frankly, only a 20% pullback at this point is not very significant. (see this chart)
I think the view that the Fed will continue expansionary monetary policy if the market falls too much is a more likely scenario than the market being allowed to have some sort of deflationary collapse, especially considering we're in an election season.
Nothing has really changed when it comes to the massive debt expansion by governments around the world, though the question is where is all the money going to go, it doesn't *have to* go into gold, tons is going into treasures, for example.
Personally, I'm not very worried about the price of gold unless Ron Paul wins the presidency.
Of course, if I think there is going to be some sort of deflationary collapse and a massive dollar rally, I'll sell my gold and not be too ideological about it, after all, prices are entirely subjective. - Chris, InfoLib
It’s been a year of populist uprisings, economic downturns, political assassinations, and one scandal after another. Gold prices soared, while the dollar plummeted. The Arab Spring triggered worldwide protests, including the Occupy Wall Street protests here in America. Nature unleashed her forces with a massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan, flooding in Thailand and Pakistan, a severe drought in East Africa, and a famine in Somalia. With an unemployment rate hovering around 9.5%, more th... (more)

ST. LOUIS • Prosecutors may never know just how much off-duty St. Louis police officer Michael Schinner had to drink before he drove the wrong way down a one-way street and crashed into an on-duty officer, critically injuring a passenger the day before Christmas.
Schinner, 27, refused to submit to a blood test to determine his blood alcohol content, and police did not apply for a search warrant to force him to do so.
[...]He claimed no memory of the crash, appe... (more)
Random TSA ‘spot searches’ are expanding to Los Angeles’ busiest train station as the federal agency gets set to receive a massive boost in funding as part of a program to set up thousands more unnanounced checkpoints across the country.
“An all-too-familiar sight at LAX and the rest of the nation's airports will soon be coming to the city's busiest train station,” reports CBS News.
The Stop Online Piracy Act is not intended to make the internet more secure or even to protect copyrighted material. Its sole purpose is to codify First amendment killing actions already being undertaken by an out of control federal government.
Media talking heads and bloggers alike continue to debate the technicalities of the legislation, however, it is clear that SOPA and PIPA, (Protecting IP Act) the Senate version of the bill, form a double pronged a... (more)
Right now, there are two pieces of legislation in Congress that would change the Internet forever if they are enacted. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) would give the federal government the ability to potentially shut down millions of websites. SOPA (the version being considered in the U.S. House of Representatives) is the more dangerous of the two. It would essentially be the equivalent of a nuclear bomb being dropped on the In... (more)
There is a segment of the electorate that greets Congressman Paul’s continual harking back to the Constitution, and to the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, as follows: Sure, those were good ideas, then; but nowadays, things are far more complicated. We lived a relatively simple bucolic life as a nation in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. We travelled by horse and buggy, at best. There was no television, no computers, no Al Qaeda, no cars, no weapons of mass destructio... (more)

Well, it is time to raise the debt ceiling again. Right now we are about to hit the current limit of $15.194 trillion and the Obama administration is going to ask that it be raised by another 1.2 trillion dollars. Unfortunately, Congress has already promised not to stand in the way, and so soon the debt limit will be raised to a staggering $16.394 trillion. Considering how much de... (more)
enezuelan President Hugo Chavez hinted that the U.S. may be behind a “very strange” bout of cancer affecting several leaders aligned with him in South America.
Chavez, speaking a day after Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, said the Central Intelligence Agency was behind chemical experiments in Guatemala in the 1940s and that it’s possible that in years to come a plot will be uncovered that shows the U.S. spread ...

As Eurozone nations sink ever deeper into crisis, the UK Treasury is working on a contingency plan for the single currency's collapse. It includes capital control measures that, under EU rules, require agreement from most of the Union members. Britain is also prepared to close its borders and evacuate expats and holidaymakers from the effected countries. Robert Oulds, ... (more)
