Rand Paul And The Bogus Terrorist Threat In America
Excerpted from Bill Bonner's "We Salute You, Rand Paul" via Bonner & Partners,
...
You can divide Congress into two groups: the fools, who are just not clever enough to understand what is going on, and the knaves, who are too clever by half.
Between them, the cronies have a field day… duping the former and conniving with the latter.
Rand Paul’s father, Ron, never fit into either group. Maybe Rand doesn’t fit either…
Ron Paul couldn’t be bought. And he was smart enough to see that the do-gooders weren’t doing any good – except for themselves.
If we had a beef with Ron, it was that he lacked cynicism. We often wanted to ask: What’s a nice guy like you doing in a place like this?
It was as though he didn’t see the sordid scenes going on around him… and wouldn’t stoop to notice the sleazy motives of his fellow representatives.
He was always for liberty and the Constitution… and that was it. It was as though he thought he had been elected to defend the liberty of his constituent voters.
What they really wanted was something else – power, status, and other people’s money. But Ron ignored it… like one ignores the character flaws of an old friend… and continued on his lonely mission.
Surely, Rand must have learned from watching his father.
But what?
He grew up in a political world – full of stuffed shirts and empty heads.
Did he learn how to work with this crumbly, second-rate clay and shape it into the world he and his father wanted? Or did he learn how to get along by going along… and maybe become more successful, at least in Washington’s terms, than his father?
A Bogus Threat
We had our doubts. It seemed as though the apple had fallen… and then rolled far from the tree. But then, this past weekend, despite howls of protest, Rand did his father’s work.
The Patriot Act was an embarrassment from the get-go. How could a people who valued their liberty give it up so readily?
The terrorist threat was gaudy and spectacular, but never serious.
Statistically, we Americans are more likely to be killed by our own children than by terrorists. We are more likely to starve to death. Or die after tripping over furniture.
And for every American killed by a terrorist, there are about 100 who are gunned down, run over, or Tasered to death by their own police.
Still, eavesdropping was sold to the public as a way to head off terrorist attacks.
How many attacks did it thwart?
Zero.
The Washington Times reports:
FBI agents can’t point to any major terrorism cases they’ve cracked thanks to the key snooping powers in the Patriot Act, the Justice Department’s inspector general said in a report Thursday that could complicate efforts to keep key parts of the law operating.
Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said that between 2004 and 2009, the FBI tripled its use of bulk collection under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows government agents to compel businesses to turn over records and documents, and increasingly scooped up records of Americans who had no ties to official terrorism investigations.
So we salute Rand Paul. Good on you. In the long march to a police state, the feds were forced to take a small step back.
This example made us think about other people doing good work. (Who says we are always negative!)
There are millions and millions of people who do good work every day. Few of them get their names in the paper. They clean their homes. They drive trucks and analyze stocks. They weld steel and teach children.

It's all a lie to fund the fake WAR RACKET...
Fake terrorists, CIA engineered bombings literally under the noses of the DHS and every other joke enforcment office.
FEAR FEAR FEAR...
LOL!!!
yup.....its the british empire play book..............the british did the same thing to Germany prior to WW1
I always thought that damn china cabinet was out to get me.
Clearly heart disease, cancer and automobiles MUST be regulated, taxed and registered and large magazines bigger than 8x11 MUST be outlawed.
Holy Shit!
-- George Carlin
In countries like NORWAY when they had a huge terrorist incident they introduced ZERO new laws and ZERO new security measures.
Why?
Because they are BRAVE.
Because Norwegians are BRAVE to this day they are still FREE.
Americans were hit with 9/11 and they were NOT BRAVE, they got scared and gave up their FREEDOM.
That's why the star spangled banner is SOOO IRONIC when it is played overseas at the Olympics and various World Championships.
You have some American standing proud as hell, hand on heart and the whole world looking on thinking "land of the brave??" "Home of the free??", come on this is cringeworthy.
WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY PUTTING IN THE WATER OVER THERE!?
Fluoride, prozac and contrceptives. What a country.
"ACCIDENTAL SUFFOCATION IN BED "
Someone needs to explain this to me.
Are we talking Jimi Hendrix wasted and drowning in our own puke or what ???????????
Should I invest in some sort of protective measures ????
Is it safe to go to sleep without suffocation prophylactics ?????
After some very short searching for numbers;
2014 deaths from terrorist attacks in the US: 24
2014 deaths from Police action in the US: 1,000+
As a US citizen you are 40+ times more likely to be shot by a Police officer than by a Terrorist.
Boris is prefer suicide bomber knock on door of apartment than is visit from Spetznaz (or if in USSA, visit is from FBI or NSA).
If we all burn our furniture, will we need the NSA? I didn't know my bed was a potential threat so its gotta go. Burn baby, burn.
Don't forget auto-erotic suffocation. David Caradine I think.
Boris is proposal of new Legislative Act, "Pay-to-riot Act"!
Never is to mind, Mr. Reverend Jesse Jackson and Mr. Reverend Al Sharpton is already very engage in Pay-to-riot.
Exit question, what is "Reverend" to meaning in US English...?
Paedophile, I guess.
I want the numbers for DELIBERATE suffocation in bed.
You are not familiar with Exotic Asphyxiation...? This is not confuse with Auto Asphyxiation when suffocate in motor vehicular.
And because they are descendants of Ragnar Lothbrok, not descendants of knaves and slaves.
They worshipped strong gods who wanted them to be strong, not poor, meek and turn the other (butt-) cheek.
Uhhh... "Accidental Suffocation in Bed" WTF?
You know what - I don't even want to know...
I think my dog has it in for me. He's going to trip me going down the stairs for a double play.
Wow, rings two bells. Of course, maybe the top of the stairs isn't the best place for the liquor cabinet.
Thankfully, my dog has trouble with the twist caps on the bottles.
By stealth, over 100 years, we have become a wholly owned subsidiary of the British Crown as an integral part of the British Empire. This has been accomplished largely by the Federal Reserve and the BAR Association. Britain still rules the waves through the armada of the US Federal Government, Inc.
Just my take on our current subjugation.
I was in Atlanta last week for business and while I was crossing the TSA checkpoint in that antpile,
I noticed a funny thing...
PEOPLE COULD BUY THEIR WAY THROUGH THE CHECKPOINT!!!???
85 DOLLARS A YEAR AND YOU DON’T NEED TO CROSS THE CHECKPOINT ANYMORE!!!
WTF!!!!!
85 DOLLAR AND YOU’RE NO LONGER A TERRORIST THREATH!!!
85 DOLLARS AND THAN THEY TRUST YOU AND WON’T SCRATCH YOUR BALLS!!!
TSA IS SUCH A JOKE TO ME SINCE I SAW THAT!!
http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheckR-application-program
That's only for US citizens and US legal residents. However, for Canadians there is NEXUS, and for Mexicans there is GLOBAL ENTRY and SENTRI.
I'm in touch with the head of the Pakistani ISI right now, asking him if he'll wire me a hundred grand (like he did for Mohammed Atta). Told him I am Montgomery Atta, Mohammed's long-lost brother. I can get 1,176 terrorists on to flights EASY... (Does ANYONE out there know how to taxi a Cessna 152?)
$85 to be placed closer to center on their heat map?
no thank you
"Murika, fuck yeah! Y'all get whut's coming to you, You let it happen, ipso facto, y'all deserve it
Always about money, power, and division.
$85 this year, $200 next, whatever you got after that, or we'll send the Festapo (FBI) to "talk" with you--set you up as a patsy in whatever theater they have working at the moment.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
"We have ways of making you a patsy."
FUCK YOU TSA and FBI!
End this fucking POS federal government NOW!
People are power for the Rulers too.
People are assets for the Rulers.
- NEW AMERICA: Hazleton, PA goes from 5% to 37% Hispanic in 10 years...
If you are paying attention to the Latinos, you are paying attention to exactly what they want you to, and, more importantly, what they don't want you to.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Well we know there are many plans and they are orchestrated by their Ivy League and other buddies.
ZH probably has lots of confident statements of what the plan is, the real plan.
- Wealth Extraction
- Debt enslavement
- Loyal Networks, Loyal Workforce, Maximum Profit, Maximum Loss (to be socialized or Corporate Bail out)
- Global Domination, Destruction of the Many Languages, Many Cultures, Individualism,
- Uniform Dumbness, Hidden Truth, Institutionalized Secrets, Ownership of Knowledge, Technology, History
- Global Monopolies, Oligopolies, Ownership of Markets & Distribution Networks as well as Retail & Wholesale & Manufacturing
- People will become chattel, profit centers, to be used or killed as desired
Ultimately they want to be Rulers, the Ultimate Authority, and the Ultimate Control.
But its just MHO.
85 dollars convinced you the TSA was a joke?? I like your posts a lot, but you did not already know that?? Have you met these mouth breathing federal workforce tards? The supervisors are even better, dress up an unqualified monkey in a tie and he is still a Damned Monkey.
Wanne know how to make a TSA agent go nuts? :)
As a foreigner, all you need to say when they ask you what’s you’re business is:
I’M A PROGRAMMER.
That’s it. And you will be in a small room with mirrors in 3 minutes being yelled to what your exact business is!
It happend to one of my employees which I send to Calif for a training.
The guy doesn’t want to returto America ever again now.
I tell them I'm a school bus driver and I just came to their town to interview for a job, which it looks like I'm probably going to take. So it sure will be nice if I get to drive their kids to school. Isn't it a small world? :-)
I like telling them I have edema and cant take off my shoes.
Then they pull me out and the guy has to kneel down and swab my stinky sneekers.
That they hate to do it brings me joy.
I want to tell them that my middle initial on my license stands for Jihad. I guess I'll save that one for when I won't mind spending 6 hours locked in a small room with obese affirmative action hires.
TSA is just another jobs program to help take up the slack in the exported jobs from our mothballed industry.
Ah, but only if you pay by Credit Card... so they get instant background check.
I swear the country is full of Checkers players.
They also take EBT, Kirk.
And everybody whining about this seems to forget that ISIS has a rather generous grant and/or zero-interest loan program for low-income folks, so it's not like... getting your head chopped off or anything like that. You can apply on-line on either the ISIS or U.S. State Department site. Make sure to un-check the box that asks if you're interested in receiving emails or tweets on other jihadi opportunities. Those fuckers will spam you from morning until night - Chechen this, Taliban that, free training, pay in USD, etc. IRRITATING!
Every so often, like the recent publicity stating that China has hacked into the OPM, copying/stealing the records of 4 million employees, past and present, we hear the gov't screaming!
And this is something like the 8th or 10th official time over the past 12 years.
And after each time, does the gov't scream for halting the offshoring of jobs, technology and investment to China?
NO!
And after each time, does the gov't scream for halting the buying of real estate in the USA by mainland Chinese?
NO!
After each and every time, more jobs, more technology and more investment is offshored to China, and more real estate is purchased in America by the mainland Chinese.
So fucking what?
Because this last time (probably like the other times) China did not hack into the OPM, certain elements within the government helped them to copy millions of records to China.
Just as years back in the '00s, when the SAIC supposedly screwed up their IT contract to improve the FBI's system, what they were doing was copying files to another location.
Were they penalized?
NO!
They were rewarded with a bigger and better contract at the NSA (Trailblazer, if I recall correctly), where they again purposely screwed up (whistleblower Thomas Drake was unaware of that, thinking it corruption, and he paid the price for his patriotism), and spent their time copying files to another location.
Only a few realize what is taking place, but it should be now be obvious to all: when they continue to invest in specific behaviors, it is because THEY want them to continue.
When THEY continue to reward certain behaviors, it is because they want them to continue.
The dismantling of America.
The selling out of America.
The leveraged buyout of America.
Assuming for a moment that they did in fact hack into the IRS, I would imagine and hope that they went after "People of Significance" (POS, aka Pieces Of Sh..t):
Billionaires, Oligarchs, Ziocons and wealthy Chinese nationals living in the US or who have established Residency.
They have been Extracting US Wealth for a long time, it is systemic. Maybe they cause a collapse or Depression then scope up the important Real Estate, Farmland, Businesses, equities, bonds, or whatever.
Only now they have got Federal Govt in Debt to $18 Trillion, and millions of government contracts.
Eventually they will ask for more bailouts, and if we don't give it to them what do they care? They will still hold our Countries Debts. They can move offshore.
What was it wealth lost in 2005-2010, $3 Trillion from households before whatever was made up in gains.
Power is centered on US Private banks and other Financial Institutions off shore. Captured Congress, President, Regulators, self Regulate themselves, the stock exchanges, the Banking, the Law Profession, Politicians. And unlimited ability to hire legal teams to defend themselves in Court and delay court cases for a Decade or until the other side is Broke.
Nice. How would you like all the power in the land and be self regulated.
China-trying to decide whether they will make a play to have Fed.gov offshore jobs to them!!
Bill Bonner and his ilk will be shouting "Fake Terrorist Threat" until a muzzie takes their heads or bombs their specific residence.
Augustus, typical 'american' pansy, said:
Pussy logic, without the inclusion of the frontal lobes of the brain.
Full pants shit from fear often?
Stooger,
You muzzie lovers failed brain inspection, all components missing.
Perhaps you do think with your Caitlyn Pussy. It may have been the change over drugs that caused your nuts to disappear so that you are now a terrorist apologist.
If anyone did have a load of shit in their pants, you would be having lunch there.
A man, the heir to a large plot of land, was told about a place out where he never went, by his elders. He was told that there was a hornet's nest in a tree there, and to stay away fom it. Since it was miles from any other place that he frequented, he heeded this advice. One day, a 'friend' of his came by to see him, and asked about that PARTICULAR area... and the man was CONVINCED that he should hire some people to go clean out the hornet's nest. From time to time, now, this man and his family and the ranch-hands and his neighbors have to be wary, as the millions of hornets that have no home are seeking another, in various places.
FUCK YOU and your WARS OF AGRESSION, you ZIOCON FUCK 'Agustus'. YOU are the reason this shit is HAPPENING (your backing of the neocon agenda of global control and power). DU weapons, decades of bombings and 'police actions' and 'no-fly-zones' and U.N. 'OIL FOR FOOD' deals, and NOW your CIA-trained ISIS fucks have ERADICATED MILLIONS in a LITERAL GENOCIDE, and you BITCH because they want to fucking KILL you?
Haifa, or Alexandria? Go on, you can tell us!
You're just sick in the head, or someone pays for such stupid shit?
Things slow at the SEC today? :-)
.... well shucks, these here statistical numbers done show and prove that them thar DHS and TSA fellers and gals done solved that der terrorist problem....
What's the risk of terrorism when you draw a Muhammad cartoon?
Well that depends on how much attention the "media" gives it.
pods
It also depends on the CIA/FBI having a groomed patsy ready to do the act.
Figure it out guys, YOU are the terrorist why? Because the elites will do anything, destroy the middle class chief among them to stay in control.. If they can convince enough brain dead liberals you are a threat they win, long term. We are fighting willful ignorance nothing more than years of conditioning into American sheep.
I like the suffocating in bed.
I could recommend a few candidates;)
You da man!
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2009/06/strang...
irrelevant; if the deaths from '01 won't prove enough(because of some stupid statistics like the one above), don't worry, you'll just have a bigger terrorist attack.
either you accept there are risks in life and that's that or you don't. As long as the general public is educated against risk... it's a waste of time.
I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.
Here, let me tell you how it needs to be.
Because there are boogeymen under your bed (most of whom were created or funded by US), you need to give up your weapons and freedoms and liberties, so that WE, the 'government' can protect you (the little people).
WE are NOT your enemy.
It's the Palestinians and radical Jihadists and Al-Nusra and Al-Quaida and Isreali Secret Intellingence Service and Ruskies and Communists and Muslims and Andrew Brietbart and Mexican Drug-lords and Freaks, geeks, Wops, Sheenies, Catholics and Niggers and Birchers; and Streakers at high-school graduations.
Yours Truly (because we truly care),
The Federal Reserve Membership Banksters (in collabaration with AIPAC)
(Tell them 'snowlywhite' sent you, and get a coupon for 10% off your next currency swap. Hurry, though. This offer ends at midnight tonight.)
ADDENDUM:
SUPPORT the 'Export-Import bank' in your nation, and recieve an extra 5% off our low-low interest fees! ACT NOW!
Getting hit by lightning .... now that's the way to go out... !
Citing the Washington Times.
Wonders will never cease.
What is the Risk of Death from Being homeless or slipping out of the Middle Class into Homelessness (No Homeless Skills).
Rainman, Maybe, if it takes you out. You ever seen this poor soul get struck TWICE? Shit!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be99cLcmm48
The Federal Governmet are the terrorists.
This stat is truly mind blowing.
And for every American killed by a terrorist, there are about 100 who are gunned down, run over, or Tasered to death by their own police.
But didn't that contradict their own chart? The chart says you are "8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer" and then they throw out "And for every American killed by a terrorist, there are about 100 who are gunned down, run over, or Tasered to death by their own police".
0.o
It seemed like odd placement...the 8 times number sounds about right though.
Not true if you're from Yemen!
Now what was that denial about trying to weaken the dollar about again?
Not true if you're from Yemen!
Now what was that denial about trying to weaken the dollar about again?
The truth is the people have grown tired of liberty. They crave a strong hand to correct them, much like that girl I used to date.
Naaah, they just want to believe all that Military-Hollywood Complex bullcrap like that damned fool idiot, Chris Kyle, who should never have been in any elite unit, who knowingly handed a loaded Glock to a schizophrenic and then was predictably blown away!
Or Zero Dark Thirty, a completely fictitious take on the termination of a guy, suposedly Osama bin Laden, and about a "tough" female CIA manager, Alfreda Bikowsky Silverstein, who actually controlled the entire 9/11 script from start to finish and is ONLY COINCIDENTALLY married to the nephew (David Silverstein, rightwinger) of the owner of the WTC towers on 9/11, Shel Silverstein of Silverstein Properties.
Everything is a COINCIDENCE in never-never land.
You are more correct (your first sentence) than perhaps you even know... It's too hard. Taking care of oneself, his family and his community has proven too much. Incentive (to live free) is all but dead. Having a job, owing a car, a house, partying in Vegas, going on vacations and exercising stock options is about the extent of what defines 'Freedom' for most - hell, even many old folks who one might have thought knew better.
If you thought America is going crazy or ISIS is the only to behead people...you ain't seen nothing yet.
Yesterday, a guy in India got so pissed 200 kms from Kolkota, one of the 4 major metro cities of India, FOR THE NEGOTIATION OVER THE PRICE OF A VEGETABLE, that he ended up beheading the vegetable seller.
Wait until India erupts in the next year or two and shows how a revolution is done and how a nation can become so insanely violent....
man beheads
Why is it that everybody keeps talking about the "just you wiats" and the "yets" as if nothing like that's ahppening now.
Y'all think the fabric of civilizations is intact?
Take a look about you.

Morons can't stand in line???
What are they, Eyetalians?
Probably can't spell any better then me, either.
I was referring specifically to India, knuks....
US, Middle East, Latam, most parts of Europe, Africa are already burning and under tremendous stress created due to unemployment, terrorism, and inflation over the last decade that there is no turning back now....
China, India, Russia and a few other countries are still relatively sane and have not started disintegrating! I wont use the word 'yet'...:)
Once India erupts, it will become a disaster with such fury that you will forget what's going on in America. This should occur anytime over the next year.
In India, they don't simply kill you with a bullet or throw you off a building...sometimes they burn you alive....like was done yesterday.....http://www.ibnlive.com/news/india/journalist-allegedly-burnt-to-death-fo...
other times they behead you and some other times they rape you with such vigour that your body parts start to come out! ;)
The Govt is just starting a long dead culture of 'encounters' in India and it is being widely used as a tool to eliminate 'terrorists' rather than take them through the justice system. http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/jharkhand-encounter-security-fo...
This started a few months ago and the one above is perhaps the 4th major incident. Blowback is indeed a bitch!
Or they could even kill you inside your home in front of your family just because you have had a tiff with neighbours on playing cricket...that too in Mumbai....
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Man-killed-in-front-of-fa...
While in New Delhi, 'road rage' deaths have its own separate web page on a major news site: http://www.ndtv.com/topic/delhi-road-rage
In India, the plebs have just started warming up...hence I said to wait...unlike everywhere else.
but but feku modi promised to reform UP if bjp wins .
Feku is complete Feku.
Talking of being ashamed to be born an Indian, then #despitebeingawoman.
There is no billionaire who has the guts, from anywhere in the world, to invest even a penny in India!
Most like Daichi, JPM AMC, Goldman AMC, Nokia, Foxconn, Thomas Cook, Kuoni etc have left just in the last year or less.
Modi might be the leader who presided while India burnt!
This will start becoming his legacy in a few months from now.
4th major 'encounter' just occured yesterday in India with 12 deaths.
And members of Mexican teachers' unions who got so pissed off they attacked and burned down government offices.
NOW, we're talkin'!
That's as payback for being a BRICS Gold-Member.
This Empire takes no prisoners, and does no nation or infrastructure building (like empires of the past).
This Empire of US is like the Aliens in Independence Day: Conquer, extract, and leave a ravaged pile of death and destruction.
It morphed from Justice to Just US.

Sinclair Lewis (attributed in the 1930's)
Sadly, we have arrived at that point in time...
Where is that darned cross Pig?
Then again, there's the awesome story written by Sinclair Lewis in 1935, "It can't Happen Here"
Political theater, I want to believe in Rand but I'm skeptical his rant was to further his presidential ambitions. The NSA was never going to be shutdown, it was going to be put back underground again where it wants to be in the first place. So was he just being an enabler for them?
He endorsed Mitt fuckan Romney, a statist and flip flop hypocrite over his father.
What does that tell you?
Good point.
Also, if Rand's last name was something other than Paul would anyone even care about him?
Is it anymore true than that of Hillary as in Clinton?
"What difference does it make at this juncture because it's too late to matter for you peasants, anyhow."
I fully agree with you, I woke up, and disagree with the blog poster.
Ron Paul has sold out numerous times, each and every time he sponsors anti-worker legislation, which he has done repeatedly throughout his congressional career.
Paul (both of them) are phony populists --- the last true and great populist out of Texas was the Honorable Wright Patman, a brave man of the people, who has been historically trivialized, and then, in the final years when he was fighting against the corporations and concentrated economic power, the so-called unions (really business associations like the AFL-CIO, etc.) banded against them and with their sordid money masters!
What is 'anti-worker' legislation? What is --- a 'worker' anyway...? Is there a scale or something - you know, to measure or quantify what qualifies as a 'worker'? Is there a set amount of pay?
Please enlighten.
I'll play.
A worker: One who produces through intellectual exertion or manual dexterity, goods or services whose end product can be valued and exchanged by another. A paper money printer, one who counterfeits bills of exchange, produces false claims on goods and services through deceit.
Are any other qualifications or explanations necessary?
Dear I Woke Up:
Believe in Rand. As I said above, he is the only candidate who will give us a de-militarized foreign policy, audit the Fed and Fort Knox, ditch FATCA, shrink the Federal establishment, and protect civil liberties. It will not be easy, but he is the only US politician remotely interested in serious change.
The rest of the field is from hunger. They're all neo-cons. They will change nothing. They will continue preparations for WW III. Don't let this happen. Support Rand.
And as for him opposing the Patriot Act for further his presidential ambitions, he has a long a completely convicing history of supporting privacy rights and other civil liberties. He is a true believer.
Yes he can! Right?
The so called war on terror is a ZWO war on America and the world using deception and false flags to manufacture the consent for it all.
In WWII, the Germans landed a group of spies on Long Island trained to perform various acts of sabotage (Operation Pastorius). One of the members, George Dasch, didn't like the Nazi's and went to the FBI at the first opportunity. The FBI didn't believe him. Finally, he dumped the mission's entire budget of $84,000 on the desk of Assistant FBI Director D. M. Ladd.
All of the spies (including Dasch) were arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. Meanwhile, Herbert Hoover went public with the arrests and bragged about how the FBI had broken a dangerous German spy ring. When in fact, the FBI hadn't done anything and had in fact not believed in the plot until Dasch showed them the money.
The FBI prefers to railroad retards and then proclaim they saved the day.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Thank you, Bennie, and you have completely explained the full history of the FBI, founded by the grandnephew of Napoleon, Joseph Bonaparte!
Each and every event and incident has followed the path you described. When 37 US Marshals were wounded during the Kennedy Administration's push to integrate the University of Mississippi, nary a feeb of the FBI was touched, because they had all skedaddled into the hinterland, when they were supposed to have been there support the US Marshal Service!
The FBI has been long deeply penetrated by the Chinese intelligence, so each and every time they do their usual moronic crap, we have to wonder is it for one of the elites, or it for the Chinese elites?
Retired USA President Herbert Hoover or FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover?
"You can divide Congress into two groups"
1) In Zion's pocket.
2) Being extorted by Zion.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
Still missing the Big Picture, chum!
Everything they do is for China and Saudi Arabia, with Israel coming in a distant third.
yeah, that makes al lot of sense master sarg. the most powerful ethnic group in the country with a very wounded past - and therefore hyper-alert about threats to israael - are just front men for china and saudi arabia.
The new caliphate would love a Rand Paul presidency. I'm sure he would just filibuster the burning buildings, suitcase nuke bombers, downed airplanes and your goddamn head on a pike because collecting that darn meta data would violate his people's civil rights. But a good old act of terror is a small price to pay to keep your phone number private .... oh, wait a second -- it's NOT private? Google and Apple have kept every single text, conversation, location, purchase, tweet, credit card data .... everything?? Shit. Nevermind. Nice try Rand. Your Dad is, afterall, a great trivial pursuit answer. Your place in outdated game folklore awaits, buddy.
.
Ah, good example of a modern 'american' value: cowardice.
Run prancing in the ass to Lindsey Graham.
there were redcoats,
merccenaries,
those who sat on the sidelines and could care less what happend to neigbhors
and those who said get the fuck out of my house.
------------
nothing's changed. we still got redcoats and mercenaries
You know, I have an even better idea. Why don't we just feed you; your cabalist buddies at NSA and TSA; AND your cabalist buddies at Google and Apple to the caliphate. You are the reason they hate Americans anyway.
Odds are once they chew up their real enemy, the cabal, they won't want to mess with the true heavily armed Americans that are left.
Works for me.
I was thinking it might be nice to get access to that nice data the chinese stole on federal employees. If you really believe you can continue to commit treason against the constitution forever without repercussion I think you might want to join those libprog fairies. That way you won't be all alone when the headsman comes for you.
The bogeyman was always a lie, either from your parents or your neo-parents, aka the government. You emote fear, while they take control.
... They manipulate markets, Steal from our kids, Launder drug money... oh shit wait!! My bad never mind
I get it. I don't like the NSA snooping on Americans. The TSA is a joke. All that being common ground - comparing accidental deaths to terrorist deaths is a canard. The state does not have an obligation to prevent it's citizen's deaths due to accidents. It does have an obligation to defend its citizens against attackers. It is right and appropriate for the government to focus energy on citizens being killed by an enemy vis-a-vis accidents. I can choose to get on an airplane or not. I can choose to drive safetly or like an idiot. I cannot choose not to be a victim of an attack.
I see, so each and every time they embezzle billions and trillions in the name of National Security, sorry-ass schmucks like you believe them, huh?
Which branch of the US military did you say you served in?
Didn't think so . . . .
I cannot choose not to be a victim of an attack.
Wrong you can choose whether the attacker or yourself becomes the victim. You may not always be able to prevent something but you do have the ability to through your own actions to influence the outcome. You may still wind up becoming a victim but it won't be by choice.
The state itself is a canard.
You do realize that that the courts have already ruled multiple times you have no Constitutional right to police protection? There is no legal requirement for the government to "protect" you, the citizen prole, from anything.
By the very definition of terrorism - using violence against civilians to achieve a geopolitical goal - the state is the biggest perpetrator of terrorism across the world, bar none.
Keep clinging to your chocolate rations and thanking your gods that the state is protecting you from Eastasia.
Yeah, him an' his sister Ru.
Always wondered about her. She's so tall...
Rand is an ultimate trojan horse. He is a ZIOCON, dont be sucked in. Being for isreal, is mutually exclusive with not wanting to bomb brown people.
He also is a believer in man made ""climate change"", which is code for being a globalist.
Sorry he is not his father.
In my opinion he is possibly the scariest candidate out there. I would vote for Sanders over him... sorry, so let the flames begin.
I'd vote by not voting.
Sorry gatorengineer, but this is nonsense. If what you say is true, the GOP establishment and media hangers-on would not be so determined to destroy him.
They are terrified he will give us a de-militarized foreign policy, audit the Fed and Fort Knox, ditch FATCA, shrink the Federal establishment, and protect civil liberties. It will not be easy, but he is the only US politician remotely interested in serious chage.
it's to bad that Rand Paul isn't running in the presoidential election race. (according to the corporate news)
According to the corporate news, gay marrage is the big issue.
WTF?
everyone assumes the real purpose of all this spying is to protect us from terrorists, what if it was something far more insidious. as you look around the room you see a lot of unemployed people, underemployed people, government employees, and people who have a job that depends on a government contract. none of these people earn money by selling goods or services to another person in the free market, you also notice the economy gets generating money, you look around and you see people living pretty well, and people with no means still living a decent life. between automation and socialism your value to the economy is 99% determined by an arbitrary rating, not the free market. none of us want some bureaucrat determining where we live, how we live, where our kids go to school, but with the death of the free market thats pretty much the way it is. in order to create a fair rating system, we need to know a little about about you. does that clear things up. if youre a hopeless alcoholic malcontent low brow ZH reader you might qualify for a spot under a freeway bridge, some goverment issue cheese, and free healthcare (code for none at all really) they can't do it without giving everyone an iphone and then carefully watching you.
all them ways to die translate to
a means of stealing from the public

THANKS, BILL BONNER! :-)
Good on you.
If one can't believe that "the real thing" exists, then life is too bleak. I think the Pauls are "the real thing".
It's a cracking song but incorrect is 'WAR'
what is it good for?
absolutely nothing, say it again. . .
In fact it is very good for lining the pockets of the cabal.
WAR WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? great song

Yet the fiscally irresponsible fakers in the "Tea Party" keep voting for more and more war funding.
The TEA PARTY is changing politics like the OATH KEEPERS are changing law enforcement.
Not one bit.
TeaParty sympathizers are not a monolithic group, but a loose confederation of many groups with a large variability as to what's most important to them; such as one issue anti abortionists to liberty types seeking to under-mind the very existence of our plainly visible Unitary Gov't.
Good post, Tyler. Rand certainly deserves credit for sticking to his (and his father's) guns on this one.
In further support of your point, the "bogus threat of terrorism", I recall recently the incident where two fairly heavily armed ISIS "commandos" in the US were taken down by a single police officer with a pistol.
Even if this was not a false flag operation to justify more government expenditure to further trash the constitution for Americans in the name of fighting terrorism, it surely demonstrates the level of competence that ISIS can bring to bear on its "US front".
I say we pull the plug on the entire bloated homeland security apparatus, apply the proceeds to controlling our borders, and take our chances with these guys.
At least we will have a constitution to protect, as opposed to abdicating it on day one to a bunch of cultural marxists.
You did read this one right?

Yes, as if we had any doubts about the depths to which our enemy will sink.
.
I don't think it is a bogus threat exactly. There are terrorists but they are the government not the people. If I had to bet one bet that would better the future if I were right I would bet that Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bandar masterminded the destruction of the WTCs. I liked the WTCs. I smoked pot at the top of one of them. King Kong climbed up them, and a crazy French guy or someone tightroped between them. And the elevators were fun to ride too. Arrest Saudi Arabia and seize their oil. Arrest Rumsfeld and Cheney.
We import terrorism. It's job security for LEO.

I wonder how much more likely I might have died from my 35 plus bee sting attack this afternoon?
Dude, that sucks!
sounds like a karma strike.
There are Two known Terrorist in America: John Fucking McCain and Lindsey Fucking Graham. One day soon, these two will need to be dealt with.
If you find a better candidate for pres than mr paul let me know. is he controlled opposition? can't tell as if he is it would not be public..compare to hildabeast where her lies and crimes are as long as your arm, her love of power and big .gov are public ..mr paul stands out and is not loved by our MSM. that gives me hope.
I have never been attacked, abused, or even stolen from by any terrorists. The government on the other hand.......
Latest evidence at ZH indicates our children ARE terrorists!
