  • Tinfoil Hattery – Not Just for the Veterans Today Crowd

    Hey, remember those Charlie Hebdo attacks? You thought they were perpetrated by radical Islamic terrorists?

    Well, the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity says you could be wrong. Here’s what one of their website’s articles has to say:

    The Charlie Hebdo affair has many of the characteristics of a false flag operation. The attack on the cartoonists’ office was a disciplined professional attack of the kind associated with highly trained special forces; yet the suspects who were later corralled and killed seemed bumbling and unprofessional. It is like two different sets of people.

    The article’s author – Paul Craig Roberts – also appears to be somewhat . . . interesting.  He seems to be a bit of a ”9/11 Truther” who in November 2012 held al Qaeda’s link to 9/11 to be “unsubstantiated”. He also IMO seems to hold some other, er, interesting and decidedly non-traditional opinions – like saying in May 2011 that “there is probably more democracy in China than in the West.”

    Predictably, Ron Paul is already doing damage control to head off blowback from Roberts’ article. He says he doesn’t think that even Roberts believes his own article – he just “wanted a discussion”.

    Yeah, right. We’ve seen this kind of ridiculous, self-serving tap-dance before from Ron Paul.  Specifically, we saw the same regarding those the racist materials in his 1990s newsletters that he seems to have approved, then later blamed on “staff”. Yet colleagues of Paul’s from that time say Paul routinely proofed those letters and personally approved their content.

    The institute has your name, Paul – just like those newsletters did. And given your past actions, I’m not buying the obvious attempt at damage control this time around either.

    Sheesh. I guess that figures. I suppose it’s too much to expect the Left to have all the      fools      individuals who see the world through “alternate perspectives of reality”.

  • New leaker in government

    CNN reports that there is a new leaker out there revealing classified material to Glenn Greenwald at his “Intercept” news site. Greenwald was the fellow who sponsored Ed Snowden’s stolen secrets last year and apparently, on his website, Greenwald is referencing documents created after Snowden left;

    The Intercept article focuses on the growth in U.S. government databases of known or suspected terrorist names during the Obama administration.

    The article cites documents prepared by the National Counterterrorism Center dated August 2013, which is after Snowden flew to Russia to avoid U.S. criminal charges.

    Greenwald has suggested there was another leaker. In July, he said on Twitter “it seems clear at this point” that there was another. Government officials have been investigating to find out who.

    So, I guess we’ll find out who he is soon, because, like Snowden, he’s doing it for the fame and a sweet Russian girlfriend.

    Speaking of Snowden, Ron Paul seems to be pressuring the White House for clemency for Eddie, says the Washington Times.

    Former Rep. Ron Paul has taken his push for clemency for Edward Snowden to a new level, announcing he’s collected more than 37,000 signatures in the past five months — about a third of what he says he needs to get a White House response.

    Mr. Paul wrote on his blog of Mr. Snowden’s “sacrifices” to reveal “the disturbing scope of the National Security Agency[‘s] … mass surveillance and data collection efforts,” and said the U.S. government ought to award him clemency and let him return home.

    Who needs secrets anymore, anyway?

  • Ron Paul goes to the NWO to get his name back

    I remember Ron Paul rightfully railing against the “New World Order” and criticizing the the US participation in the United Nations. Now, that it’s in his interests to do so, Paul has turned to the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy of the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) to recover the domain names from the websites RonPaul.com and RonPaul.org from his largest group of supporters.

    You may or may not know that RonPaul.com was the first place I’d go to check on Paul’s policies, as much as I disagreed with most of them. The website claims to have 100s of thousands of daily readers as a result of their five years of work. While I don’t neccessarily agree with what they have done, I understand how hard it is to build and manage an audience that large. So they asked Paul for $250k for the domain – but Paul would prefer to turn to the New World Order for justice.

    Back in 2007 we put our lives on hold for you, Ron, and we invested close to 10,000 hours of tears, sweat and hard work into this site at great personal sacrifice. We helped raise millions of dollars for you, we spread your message of liberty as far and wide as we possibly could, and we went out of our way to defend you against the unjustified attacks by your opponents. Now that your campaigns are over and you no longer need us, you want to take it all away – and send us off to a UN tribunal?

    That’s not cool! We want our old pre-retirement Ron Paul back!

    Yeah, well, I’ve been warning you Ron Paulians that you were hitching your little red wagon to a guy who isn’t who thought he was. So, can you stop using the pictures that you stole from me now?

  • Ron Paul: don’t hate me, I’m a veteran

    So in reaction to the backlash from his preaching to us yesterday about Chris Kyle and mangling Biblical verses, Ron Paul decides that he should hide behind his short career as an Air Force OB/GYN;

    Ron Paul - Kyle veteran

    Yeah, hiding behind his DD214 and Christ – that’s always good. Paul can’t find a just war in our entire history, I guess they’re all “unconstitutional and unnecessary”. But, then, Paul endorsed IVAW member Adam Kokesh for Congress. And that statement about “a policy non-violence would have prevented this” – whose policy? A policy of non-violence on a gun range? In Texas? In the war against terror? WTF are you talking about you creepy turd?

    And for those who think Paul didn’t write this one – why are his initials after the gobbledygook?

  • Ron Paul is not clever

    Funny how the most irreligious people take to quoting the Bible when it suits them, isn’t it? Ron Paul conquered Twitter today to send out the most often repeated Leftist smear I’ve seen against guns and Chris Kyle over the last few days;

    Ron Paul tweet Kyle

    Yeah, that’s the guy I was supposed to vote for in the last election because he was the only veteran in the race. See, that the danger of thinking that an OB/GYN in the Air Force is actually a veteran worthy of my vote just because he wore a uniform.

    First of all, people who suffer from PTS (no D, please) don’t normally become violent. that’s the Rambo myth – y’all are confusing it with Hollywood’s diagnosis. you’d think a real doctor who had been in the military would know that, wouldn’t you? Secondly, blaming Chris Kyle for his own death is the height of ignorance. Obviously he’d done this before without it ending like this. Range time is what keeps me sane, and I’m sure a poll of this group here at TAH would get some light applause for the idea.

    As I’ve said in the past, Ron Paul makes a lot of sense sometimes, but then there’s the times that dementia kicks in and we get things like this. I guess we have to blame anyone but the guy who pulled the trigger, and Paul is no more than another anti-gun, anti-veteran moron clinging to his empty platitudes. I think the best response comes from Iowahawk; “Grandpa’s talking to the furniture again”

    By the way, for the sharpshooters, the quote is from Revelation, 13:10: “He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”

    Or Matthew 26:52 “Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword”.

    But me, I like Luke 22:36 “He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.””

  • New Stolen Valor Act passes House

    CBS and Associated Press report that the new Stolen Valor Act has passed in the House of representatives.

    The House’s 410-3 vote on what is known as the Stolen Valor Act came less than three months after the Supreme Court struck down the original act on the grounds that it violated First Amendment free speech rights.

    The new bill attempts to get around the court ruling by making clear that it applies only in cases where people lie about a military record with the aim of obtaining payment or other benefits.

    I wonder if we should request FOIAs on those 3 who voted against it. Their names are; George Miller (D-CA), Justin Amash, (R-MI), Ron Paul (R-TX).

  • Surprise! Paulians helped Pinkers

    The other night, some Code Pink protesters interrupted Paul Ryan’s speech at the Republican National Convention. Wonder how they got in there? Yep, it was those childish Paulians, according to the New York Times;

    [ Laura Mills, the 21-year-old CodePink intern] said her credential, which she got from supporters of Mr. Paul after his son Rand, a senator from Kentucky, addressed the convention, would have put her in a remote area of the forum. But by pretending that [Code Pink/Veterans for Peace/OpTruth’s Ann] Wright was her grandmother, they talked their way into a seating area closer to the floor, near rows of reporters.

    “An angry Ron Paul person was like, here, take my pass…”

    I didn’t know there were any Ron Paul people who aren’t angry…all of the time.

    Of course, TAH has been telling you that Paulians are simpatico with the hags of Code Pink for the last two years. They seem to intersect at foreign policy, but Paulians are so shallow that they disregard Code Pink’s demand for more government freebies.

    COB6 sent us the link and says that he predicted the connection while his wife and he were watching the Convention on television.

  • Truther Ron Paul

    Last night the Paulians gathered to hear Ron Paul one last time this campaign season. He calmed the crowd’s fears that this was his last political campaign with the words “They wish”. So I guess we can look forward to more blathering gibberish like this;

    If you can’t watch it;

    “Somebody — rather nationally —- said the other day on the Internet ‘if those Paul people had been in charge Osama Bin Laden would still be alive.’ But you know what I think the answer is? So would the 3000 people killed on 9/11 still be alive!”

    So. apparently, Paul believes that the US government has something to do with 9/11, and the Paulians, judging by their cheers of approval, do, too.

    But, Paulians can take comfort from the fact that bin Laden would still be upright if crazy Uncle Ron had somehow fanagled himself into the White House in 2000 – an election in which he wasn’t even a candidate.

    The LA Times reports;

    Paul spoke for an hour, offering a history lesson on where he believed the nation faltered in its economic and military policy. He called for the legalization of all drugs, offered words of support for Wikileaks case figures Bradley Manning and Julian Assange, and urged an end to all wars.

    He warned of impending fascism because of the power of big business, big banks and big government. He warned against Americans relying on the government for their needs, comparing it to animals depending on their owners for shelter and food before they are led to slaughter.

    That’s a lot of insanity to pack into a single room and a single hour. His last words were the most common retort of Paulians who visit here;

    Ron Paul’s parting message to his followers was that they must continue to educate themselves so that they could further the movement.

    “You may run for office, you may organize, who knows what it will be,” he said. “But the obligation is there. You have an obligation to do your best to change this because it’s in your interest, your families’ interest and the interest of our country.”

    Yup, we all need to read a book. Thanks, Ron, now, gtfa.
