"The title to my special order tonight is:"Current Conditions or Just a Bad Dream.Could it all be a bad dream or a nightmare? Is it my imagination or have we lost our minds? It's surreal - it's just not believable - a grand absurdity - a great deception - a dillusion of momentous proportions.
Based on preposterous notions and ideas whose time should never have come. Simplicity, grossly distorted and complicated...insanity passed off as logic...grandiose schemes built on falsehoods with the morality of Ponzi and Madoff...evil described as virtue...ignorance pawned off as wisdom...destruction and impoverishment in the name of humanitarianism...violence the tool of change...preventive wars used as the road to peace...tolerance delivered by government guns...reactionary views in the guise of progress...an empire replacing the Republic...slavery sold as Liberty...excellence and virtue traded for mediocracy...Socialism to save capitalism... a government out of control, unrestrained by the constitution, the rule of law or morality..." - Congressman Ron Paul

"Under liberty, we built the greatest, freest, most prosperous, most decent country on earth. It's no coincidence that the monstrous growth of the federal government has been accompanied by a sickening decline in living standards and moral standards. The feds want us to be hamsters on a treadmill--working hard, all day long, to pay high taxes, but otherwise entirely docile and controlled. The huge, expensive, and out-of-control leviathan that we call the federal government wants to run every single aspect of our lives. Well, I'm sorry, but that's not America. It's not what the Founders gave us. It's not the country you believe in. It's not the country I believe in." - In a speech by Congressman Ron Paul (2002)

"We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessities and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements,...our people...must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to government,...and have no time to think, no means to call the mismanagers to account; but to be glad to obtain sustenance by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers...And this is the tendency of all human governments; a departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'till the bulk of society has been reduced to be mere automations of misery...And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt; Taxation follows that and, in its train, wretchedness and oppression." - Thomas Jefferson (1823)
"I'm pro-Constitution, I'm pro-liberty, I'm pro-sound money, I'm pro-state's rights, I'm pro-liberty. I want people to take care of themselves. I'm pro-free markets and private property, I'm pro-Second Amendment. So every time I say you're anti something, it means you have to be pro something. And I think that what is happening today is that people have lost confidence in the government, and they see that what I stand for and what our campaign stands for, this is what has made American great. Freedom is what made America great, not welfarism and socialism and government controls and invading our homes and loss of our privacy. That is what the people don't like." - U.S. Rep. Ron Paul
Five Ways Bush's Era of Repression Has Stolen Your Liberties Since 9/11
"In his new book, Matt Rothschild examines how the Bush White House constructed the edifice of repression to brazenly access our private data and shred the judicial process.
The following is an excerpt of Matthew Rothschild's "You Have No Rights: Stories of America in an Age of Repression" (The New Press, 2007).
To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists. ... They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends. -- former attorney general John Ashcroft
You're either with us or against us. -- George W. Bush
Today's America is a much less free place than the America of 2000. Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration has, by word and by deed, erected an edifice of repression here in the United States..."
"The recent defeat of the amnesty bill in the Senate came after outraged Americans made it clear to the political elite that they would not tolerate this legislation, which would further erode our national sovereignty. Similarly, polls increasingly show the unpopularity of the Iraq war, as well as of the Congress that seems incapable of ending it.
Because some people who vocally oppose amnesty are supportive of the war, the ideological connection between support of the war and amnesty is often masked. If there is a single word explaining the reasons why we continue to fight unpopular wars and see legislation like the amnesty bill nearly become law, that word is globalism.
The international elite, including many in the political and economic leadership of this country, believe our constitutional republic is antiquated and the loyalty Americans have for our form of government is like a superstition, needing to be done away with. When it benefits elites, they pay lip service to the American way, even while undermining it.
We must remain focused on what ideology underlies the approach being taken by those who see themselves as our ruling-class, and not get distracted by the passions of the moment or the rhetorical devices used to convince us how their plans will be good for us. Whether it is managed trade being presented under the rhetoric of free trade, or the ideas of regime change abroad and making the world safe for democracy -- the underlying principle is globalism...."
"You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain -- but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life; that there's something wrong with the world; you don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?"
Newly released by the Media Education Foundation, "Big Bucks, Big Pharma" pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain.
Focusing on the industry's marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors. Combined, these industry practices shape how both patients and doctors understand and relate to disease and treatment. Ultimately, Big Bucks, Big Pharma challenges us to ask important questions about the consequences of relying on a for-profit industry for our health and well-being.
