50 Election Run Fails

charlie g 05-13-2011 06:59 PM

The system is broke. He may be too old to fix it but he is the only one who understands it is broken.

It was funny to read above that congress "protects us". These clowns sell us out to special interests everyday.

I am voting for him again. I hope others will too

The job of the gov is to protect the people... if we're missing a key part that makes those constitutional decisions, we have a problem.

I voted for him as well last time, it was better choice than the other two idiots running.

I just find it entertaining that so many people can repeat his message but don't have any clue how his ideas would actually come about.

Have an actual source that isn't a conspiracy site?

It's a nick name for a combination of events and acts. The National Emergency Act, Trading with the Enemy Act, and the emergency banking legislation of 1933.

In a brief summary the federal reserve was on a 20 year charter. Starting in 1913 and ending in 1933. The ending or starting depending on how you want to look at it began with a series of events such as seizing of the peoples gold and giving them pieces paper in return. To safeguard themselves of public backlash from all of this it was written into legislation that the military could be used to protect them from the public. This is why a state of emergency (Swine Flu two year state of emergency most recently) is always declared within a matter of months of a President taking office giving him extraordinary powers. Also why he can do and odes do pretty much anything he wants with no approval from the House or Congress. Any arguments they may have is all for show. We are constantly in a state of emergency and have been since 1933.

"Senate Report 93-549 was a document issued by the "Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency" of the 93rd Congress (Hence the "93" in the name) (1973 to 1975). Its purpose was to discuss and address the 40 year long state of emergency that had been in effect in the United States since 1933. During the continued state of emergency, Congress voted to transfer powers from Congress to the President. The debate to end long-running states of National Emergency was ended in 1976 with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651), which limits any such declared emergencies to two years."

Which is why nobody takes him seriously - the minute he started talking "action" vs. "ideas" people would stand up and take notice.

The Fed has been around in the works for over 100 years. And people still believe it's Federal agency. Kinda hard for one guy to overcome that powerhouse of indoctrination in a matter of years.

So today, if a national emergency is declared then it will only last for two years... okay. I don't know how it's been happening for the last 80 years or so, but whatever.

I know lots of people that are aware that the reserve isn't a real fed agency... people find out every day. But that doesn't mean anyone will or would do anything about it, they have no reason to.

That's simply one of many ideas he has that he hasn't explained. Like what he would do if we had no gold.

He's said over and over again that his own beliefs and opinions are just that, nothing more. He shares them when asked, but it doesn't mean that as President he would try to make the country exactly as Ron Paul wants it, that would just be delusional.

IllTestYourGirls 05-14-2011 05:19 PM

He has my vote. I was in Exeter when he announced. 300 to 400 people there on a one day notice. He is going up in the polls and in 2nd or 3rd in many states. He has a chance to win and according to his campaign manager (who I spoke to for 20 mins) unlike last time they are running to win. Why? Because Ron Paul truly believes that we face/are in a dollar crises that only Austrian economists will know how to fix.

A recent CNN poll has Ron Paul the closest to beating Obama of all republicans running.

Apes, Monkeys, Chimpanzees, whatever.. I don't believe it and you do. Besides they've discovered humanoids older than 5-6 billion years and didn't revise their "proven science." "Proven science" can't explain the gene splicing's that occurred.

They only released the figures after a long legal battle because of who they were loaning the money to which was mostly foreign banks. All monies are still not accounted for. As you well know they work on a fractional reserve basis. So whatever monies said co-conspirators received was then multiplied at least 10 fold. Paying off a loan when you can multiply said loan by at least 10 is pretty easy to do.

And really this goes back to what I said about politicizing the FED. In your view that just meant supporting politicians like Ron Paul to ask stupid questions. What I meant was the importance of FED independence.

You seem to be opposed to having a politically independent central bank, presumably you want a politically dependent one then??

Maiden Lane I, II, and III were where the initial funds were deposited and dispersed and also serve as holding companies for the "bad debts" (banker bets) purchased. The recipients received funds which were used as reserves which were also multiplied via FRB. The initial funds (700 billion) was multiplied into 10's of trillions.


Financial Rescue Nears GDP as Pledges Top $12.8 Trillion (Update1) NOTE $12.8 trillion is not 700 billion.

That was in 2009. Last official record it was around 28 trillion. But it's actually believed to be closer to 100 trillion. And it is said the criminals need 100 trillion more.

Which is why the cost of everything is shooting through the roof for you and I, but when you ask them there is no inflation.

Think about it.. Big Business in America is already killing this country and he wants to turn everything over to them.

You have a habit of repeating the data that I put forth but following it up with outdated what-ifs and/or absurd analysis.

Perhaps you've been in a time warp since 2009, but this is 2011. As I said earlier, almost all of the loans associated with the extraordinary lending have been paid back with interest.

I take it you are not going to provide exactly the monies that are "still not accounted for"?

Ask who? I don't know of anyone who says there is no inflation. Inflation is actually a goal - both under normal conditions and especially in response to the deflation that was seen in 2009. Please cite the inflation numbers so we can see what you are looking at that is so out of line. :winkwink:

You asked if I understood what it was and I explained. What do you not understand about that?

As I said tens of trillions are unaccounted for. They have admitted it cost nearly 100 trillion but have only accounted for around 28 trillion. And they have stated they need tens of trillions more.. I also said it's easy to pay off a loan when you can multiply said loan at least 10 fold. Give me that ability and I'll rule the World along with them.

I guess you're not interested in the above. I'm sure homeopathy will cure Crohns.

What vaccine caused crohn's disease? Just curious... tried to search, but this is all I could find:

http://jech.bmj.com/content/57/11/883.abstract

"Conclusions: The incidence of hospitalised CD and UC remained stable over the 20 years, 1979 to 1998. Whatever caused the marked increases in CD and UC in the mid-20th century must itself have stabilised in this region. These results, together with those from other studies, provide strong evidence against measles vaccine causing CD or UC. "

I'm aware they have a vaccine to supposedly cure a disease when they say they don't know what causes it yes. How that can be is beyond me.

We're not sure which caused it. We just know for sure he was fine before (like many others) a series of vaccines for school and shortly thereafter he wasn't. Some suggest the MMR.

He's actually a doctor that got into politics... he won his first election because he delivered a tons of babies in his circonscription.

You must not have spent more than five seconds listening to what he has to say if that's the best you can come up with.

He's also a maverick, like McCain, which means he doesn't have the ability to compromiseha. That's not a leader.

The reason those evil big corporations have managed to become so big is thanks to government regulations and subsidies. Government regulations, patents etc are all designed to do 1 thing: make life miserable for small and medium size companies so that the quasi-monopolies of the large corporations don't get threatened.

Getting rid of those government regulations, subsidies etc would result in more competition, less waste, lower prices, better quality products and services,...

You could say those regs/subs helped pull us from the pits of hells corps had put us into before those regs came along.

You guys might want to read some history starting at about 50 years ago. Only the completely crazy and those people absent minded of history would want to get rid of most corp regs.

In theory - it sounds nice, in reality - the corps were monster and abusing power and crushing the competition decades BEFORE the regs came along.

Right, it's not pertinent.

Not in the sense that you mean. And where's your explanation if its not creationism?

You asked if I understood what it was and I explained. What do you not understand about that?

As I said tens of trillions are unaccounted for. They have admitted it cost nearly 100 trillion but have only accounted for around 28 trillion. And they have stated they need tens of trillions more.. I also said it's easy to pay off a loan when you can multiply said loan at least 10 fold. Give me that ability and I'll rule the World along with them.
And I showed you that almost all the loans were of short duration, covering various time periods and that most have been paid off.

Your response was to inject FRB to assert yet another unsubstantiated claim.

I'll just assume you cannot provide exactly the monies that are not accounted for.

"A recent increase in U.S. inflation is driven primarily by rising commodity prices globally, and is unlikely to persist, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said on Monday."

Nothing to do with his monetary policy of course.
Considering inflation is a goal, of course. It's not the only cause of price inflation, though.

And as it stands today, inflation is not a run away train. 0.4% in Jan, 2.1% in Feb, 2.7% Mar, Apr no details yet but slowing and a pretty big drop in May so far (energy / food commodity prices).

Maybe there's something you'd like to point out but considering he said that in early April he appears correct.

Again with the Ron Paul threads.

Honestly I can never decide whether to throw this topic into the "It'll never happen" file or the "I'll believe it when I see it" file.

Every 4 years, same problem I have.

that was 40 years ago and doesn't negate the fact he is a career politician and has been for decades and decades.

Apes, Monkeys, Chimpanzees, whatever.. I don't believe it and you do. Besides they've discovered humanoids older than 5-6 billion years and didn't revise their "proven science." "Proven science" can't explain the gene splicing's that occurred.





They only released the figures after a long legal battle because of who they were loaning the money to which was mostly foreign banks. All monies are still not accounted for. As you well know they work on a fractional reserve basis. So whatever monies said co-conspirators received was then multiplied at least 10 fold. Paying off a loan when you can multiply said loan by at least 10 is pretty easy to do.

Wow, I thought you were off the reservation before, but now it appears much much worse.

Yes, those big corp had been using act of aggression (murder, theft, armed gangs, pinkertons,...) for a long time before the regs came along. But those regs were not aimed at reducing the several forms of abuse committed by those corps. Those regs were aimed at making the life of the corps easier.

First nature preservation regs, national parks etc.... were paid for and lobbied for by big railway tycoons who didn't want small local railway companies to build connections between their local railways and thus become an alternative for the large transcontinental railways.

Banking regs: J.D. Rockefeller himself said that he did not like the free market. "Competition is a sin" he said. Why? Because competition drives down prices and increases the quality of the end products. Instead of competing the big corps chose to form governments enforced cartels. And guess who the bureaucrats were who got to oversee everything? yes, people from those same big corps.
