Ron Paul Has Repeatedly Proven Himself A Major Candidate

By James Buchanan — EURO

Ron Paul just scored 19 percent in the Illinois Straw Poll despite a continuing media black out, which is growing more obvious every day. Paul placed in the top three –only one percent behind former TV star, Fred Thompson with Mitt Moneybags Romney placing first –although once again with less than a majority.

This strong finish by Ron Paul comes at a key time. The top five people in last week’s Iowa straw poll included Ron Paul, Romney, Brownback, Huckabee and Tancredo. Three candidates, Brownback, Huckabee and Tancredo had made a HUGE effort in Iowa spending much of their campaign funds and 66 or more days in that state. All three were hoping a good finish in Iowa would give them some momentum, but the Illinois Straw Poll suggests that they have fallen flat. Huckabee scored only 3 percent in Illinois. Brownback had 1.1 percent, and Tom Tancredo had an embarrassingly bad 0.3 percent.

The neocon favorites Rudy Giuliani and John McCain scored only one percent each in the Iowa Straw Poll. In Illinois, Giuliani finished behind Ron Paul with 11.6 percent, and McCain had a pathetic 4.1 percent. If it weren’t for the endless praise lavished on them by the mainstream media, McCain and Giuliani would have quit the race by now.

Ron Paul’s strong showing comes as no surprise to his enormous Internet following. Paul routinely gets a majority of the vote on Internet on-line polls. His enemies have accused “spammers” of influencing the outcome, but no one has ever produced any proof of this. No matter who does the poll, whether it’s ABC or MSNBC or some small time pollster, Ron Paul followers show up and vote for him, almost always giving him a large majority.

Zionist Propaganda Sheets Continue to Lose Out to Internet

NatAllNews

Time magazine remains America’s largest newsweekly, but its lead over archrival Newsweek has narrowed considerably, according to circulation figures released Monday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.

The Jewish-owned and edited Time’s total paid and verified weekly circulation during the six months ended June 30 stood at 3.4 million, down 17.1% from 4.1 million during the same period last year following a reduction in January in the magazine’s rate base.

Newsweek’s circulation stood at 3.1 million, virtually unchanged from a year earlier. Time spokeswoman Betsy Burton said the decline in circulation was in line with the magazine’s expectations after it slashed its rate base–the average circulation level it guarantees advertisers–from 4 million to 3.25 million.

The first half of 2006 has been a challenging period of transition for Time Warner’s Time Inc. unit. The subsidiary said in January that it would cut nearly 300 jobs, bringing its total headcount down to about 11,000. In March, it sold 18 smaller magazines, including Popular Science and Field & Stream, to the Jewish Bonnier Group, a “Swedish” media conglomerate.

Cheney Video Warns of Invading Iraq - “Quagmire” and “Too Many Casualites” … in 1994 ?!

Dick Cheney ‘94: Invading Baghdad Would Create Quagmire

From PCApostate

In 1994 Cheney accurately stated that Iraq would become a quagmire. Obviously, something changed his mind - was it the orders he received from Israel?

Here is the transcript:

Q: Do you think the U.S., or U.N. forces, should have moved into Baghdad?

A: No.

Q: Why not?

A: Because if we’d gone to Baghdad we would have been all alone. There wouldn’t have been anybody else with us. There would have been a U.S. occupation of Iraq. None of the Arab forces that were willing to fight with us in Kuwait were willing to invade Iraq.

Once you got to Iraq and took it over, took down Saddam Hussein’s government, then what are you going to put in its place? That’s a very volatile part of the world, and if you take down the central government of Iraq, you could very easily end up seeing pieces of Iraq fly off: part of it, the Syrians would like to have to the west, part of it — eastern Iraq — the Iranians would like to claim, they fought over it for eight years. In the north you’ve got the Kurds, and if the Kurds spin loose and join with the Kurds in Turkey, then you threaten the territorial integrity of Turkey.

It’s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.

The other thing was casualties. (more…)
