We hold these Truths to be self-evident...
Congressman Ron Paul spoke on the House floor for 5-minutes on US policy to assassinate US citizens at the dictate of the executive branch based on “secret evidence,” US policy of torture that includes American citizens and without legal recourse, US policy of rendition to secret prisons, and unlimited detention.
He concludes with “emperor has no clothes” obvious observation that these acts are unlawful.
Dr. Paul states with “emperor has no clothes” simple fact that the “leadership” of both Republican and Democratic parties uphold these policies despite their Orwellian opposition to our US Constitution that our government and military have oaths to support and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
This follows previous comments from Dr. Paul that the US is in need of "revolutionary changes."
The video is below.
The good news is that Dr. Paul was the clear winner in the recent Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll; indicating Republicans’ movement toward embracing the truths we must face. Of course, colluding corporate media who remain agents of disinformation with these clearly unlawful government policies, spun Dr. Paul’s victory to marginalize his challenge.
It’s time.
It’s time for our men and women in government and military to choose: either stand with the US Constitution you’ve sworn to support and defend against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, or remain complicit in ongoing Wars of Aggression, mass murder of our soldiers and our fellow humans in other lands and throwing trillions of our tax dollars to do so, pushing the world ever-closer to an apparently planned and desired nuclear Third World War, and guilty of what Dr. Martin Luther King called “Silence is Betrayal” before the US government assassinated him according to the only trial conducted for his murder.
It’s time for our men and women in the military and government to refuse all orders associated with our unlawful wars and preparation for unlawful war with Iran over one gram of medical isotope worth $75,000 in 20% enriched nuclear fuel.
It’s time for our men and women in the military and government to refuse all orders associated with our unlawful wars and preparation for unlawful war with Iran and stand with the American public who declare in a ratio of 9 to 1 that our government no longer represents them under the US Constitution.
It’s time: exercise your 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech and press, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Please provide this article to all Americans if you find it helpful to stop current and future unlawful wars.
Over 5,000 US soldiers have been killed so far as pawns of the civilian and military brass tyrants. Multiples more have been crippled physically and emotionally. There is no end in sightto current wars; indeed, the US is expanding them into Pakistan and Yemen and threatening more war with Iran. The dead are comforted by God; their families are devastated by the loss of their loved-ones. The crippled and their families face a range of challenges; many so severe that a total of 6,000 US veterans commit suicide every year. One-third of all US homeless men are veterans.
Our military was duped into these wars; our trusting young men and women took an Oath to support and defend the US Constitution that supersedes the Nazi insert of “placing the mission first.” The Claus von Stauffenberg faction of US military and government must act to end this soulless mass-murdering; this loveless series of unlawful wars and unlawful orders, if we want a future we’re proud to build.
This choice is up to our men and women in uniform and government for leadership. I provide:
- Explanation of the rules of lawful war omitted from their military training of what they can and cannot do after war begins.
- Analogies that the rules of war are almost exactly like those for an individual’s use of force on the street.
- Documentation of lies that were known to be lies as our political “leaders” told them and our war-whore corporate media mimicked to propagandize for war in Iraq.
- Proof beyond doubt that the speech of Iranian President Ahmadinejad never threatened Israel.
- Documentation that IAEA verifies all of Iran’s nuclear material and has only and always been used for legal and peaceful purposes.
- A reminder that you love virtue, American values, and love of your fellow human beings.
And, our men and women in uniform must take action as they see best; as will our men and women in government and citizenry. As a teacher of government and law, I conclude our government leadership is guilty of treason against the American public, and guilty of mass murder against our soldiers.
Choose well; our collective future, and your future, depend upon it.

I appreciate your attention to these facts and encourage your further study and action consistent with your own self-expression. My recommendations:
Policy response: Gandhi and Martin Luther King advocated public understanding of the facts and non-cooperation with evil. I’m among hundreds who advocate:
- Understand the laws of war (and here). These were legislated after WW2 and are crystal-clear that only self-defense, in a narrow legal meaning, can justify war. The current US wars are not even close to being lawful and are legal treason against the US. Those involved with US military, government, and law enforcement have an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution. To fulfill their oath they must immediately refuse all orders associated with unlawful wars and military-related constant violation of treaties, and arrest those who issue unlawful orders. The Oath of Enlistment to the US Constitution supersedes the fascist insertion of Nazi propaganda to "always place the mission first" of blindly following unlawful orders.
- Employ the obvious and simple solutions to end our economic controlled demolition and evolve to a civil economy. End poverty through global cooperation to achieve the UN Millennium Goals by developed countries investing 0.7% of their income (not that the UN is serious for their accomplishment, but the goals are what we should invest to produce). Support global security through cooperation, dignity, justice, and freedom. Create a US Department of Peace to help.
- Communicate. Trust your unique, beautiful, and powerful self-expression to share as you feel appropriate. Understand that while many people are ready to embrace difficult facts, many are not. Anticipate that you will be attacked and prepare your virtuous response in the spirit of competition, just as you do in other fields.
- Prosecute the war leaders for obvious violation of the letter and spirit of US war laws and constant lies to engage in further wars. Because the crimes are so broad and deep, I recommend Truth and Reconciliation (T&R) to exchange full truth and return of stolen US assets for non-prosecution. This is the most expeditious way to understand and end all unlawful and harmful acts. Those who reject T&R are subject to prosecution.
Local perspective: Part of my professional duties as a teacher of economics and government is to produce competent adult citizenry. This includes realization that our nation’s policies and money are managed at a broad community level, and these issues have tremendous local impact. Of course, we all want human beings to be individually successful and enjoy their unique, beautiful and powerful self-expressions. Concurrently, we recognize our commitment to local success is strongly dependent upon the success of the community, and that government policy and economics are drivers.
Our status in early 21st Century human history is that we suffer from a long history in government and money of human interrelationship well-described as vicious antagonism. Governments frequently use war as a foreign policy, despite its illegality and dependent upon public ignorance, with horrific consequences. Economic policy is still created within a “Robber Baron” paradigm to concentrate money to an elite few families. Two examples:
1. National taxes effect you dearly, especially the tax to pay interest on the national debt. This costs the American public over $400 billion every year. This is $4,000 per year for every $50,000 of income. Do the math to understand your household’s tax burden for a monetary policy invented by banks for banks to create our money supply as debt. Your competence in this area contributes to our collective voice to simply shift monetary policy to easily pay the national debt, enjoy full employment, collectively save us over a trillion dollars every year, and finally realize what our brightest American minds have been advocating for centuries beginning with Benjamin Franklin. This would have unprecedented local benefits, and requires collective power to accomplish.
2. Ending poverty everywhere on our planet would cost just 0.7% of our income and save a million children’s lives every month. This human accomplishment will cause unimaginable joy at our local level.
To consider:
"If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in the world. Now the judgment of God is upon us and we must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
--Inscription on Dr. Martin Luther King’s statue, Moorehouse College, Atlanta
"The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth, there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known. Humanity cannot imagine the joy that will burst into the world on the day of that great revolution." -- poet Federico García Lorca
Comments policy: I welcome questions and comments that are civil and pertain to the article topic. Impolite and impertinent comments will be deleted.
Please consider that I’m among hundreds of writers who have documented our own government’s disclosure of propaganda programs to support their wars. I suspect my articles are under such propagandistic attack from comments that use typical rhetorical fallacies to distract readers from the facts. I invite readers to sharpen their ability to discern such propaganda. They are characterized by a combination of: never addressing the facts, diverting attention through unsubstantiated belief in an alleged expert, irrelevant data, straw-man attack that distorts the facts, ad hominem attack of insults to the messenger, vile comments to repulse readers, and lies of omission and commission.
I will use such comments to point-out the propaganda or delete them at my discretion. Again, all relevant and polite questions, and factually accurate comments are welcome. As a professional educator I’m in agreement with my experience and research: we learn best from multiple perspectives in mutual commitment to understand the facts, see those facts from diverse points-of-view, and consider various policy proposals of what we should do.
For those involved in support of US government-sponsored disinformation, I invite you to consider the quality of human relationships you wish to work toward. National security and a brighter future is not a function of fear, manipulation, and control. Our best security follows cooperation, justice under the law, dignity, and freedom. Working for your best imagined self-expression of virtue may include a unique contribution from the inside of your agency. Public attraction to the stories of Star Wars and the Harry Potter books/movies recognize that our society’s jump to civilized relations for all of us might require support from people within the “dark side” acting as covert agents for building a brighter future. Another option is becoming a whistle-blower; Project Camelot is a popular venue for people in sensitive positions. Ultimately, I recommend a Truth and Reconciliation process to exchange full truth for no prosecution, explained in detail at the link. Please consider the wisdom of your own “Scrooge conversion” to act for the benefit of all humanity rather than your self-proclaimed controlling, manipulating, and loveless “masters.”
“Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the alteration in him, but he let them laugh, and little heeded them; for he was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset; and knowing that such as these would be blind anyway, he thought it quite as well that they should wrinkle up their eyes in grins, as have the malady in less attractive forms. His own heart laughed: and that was quite enough for him.”
Comments
Seemingly more evidence that this guy is a conspiracy crackpot and it not fit to be president.
Justin, and readers:
This is about as sophisticated as the propaganda gets that separates Americans from factual understanding: Justin denies the actual evidence documented in the article that Dr. Paul references in order to deliver an ad hominem, “conspiracy” insult.
It’s time.
It’s time to choose: the world we have is Justin’s world of disinformation, separation, state-sponsored extrajudicial assassinations, unlawful Wars of Aggression, torture, propagandist shills like Justin, and a critical mass of Americans yet too stupid to fight their way out of this poor shadow of American ideals.
The world you can choose is cooperative competition with justice under the law, dignity, and real freedom.
Where do you want your progeny and you to live?
God forbid we should fail to assassinate those with evidence that the need for "a new Pearl Harbor" was anything more than wishful speculation by a few Talmudic Dandies whose esteem became appetizer for an over zealous Mohel. God forbid more revelation than we already possess provides the epochal tipping point and the Bastille protecting the criminality that declared war against the US constitution on September 11, 2001, comes tumbling down.
They don't have enough bullets to assassinate the truth. They don't have enough bullets to protect themselves. They don't have anything that can't be taken away.
It appears that only Justin is in the cult drinking Kool aid. The rest of Americans have woken up to the facts that our corrupt government is bankrupting us. So Justin go drink your Kool aid and keep spreading the lies to try and hide the truth. It is not working any more.
Carl, you are missing the point of the DoD as an institution if you think it has been "duped" into operations in Afghanistan. First, there energy assets that the U.S. wants to control. Second, the DoD always wants and needs a "mission" to substantiate Congressional funding for its bureaucracy. (A bureaucracy exists to be sustained.) Second, shrinking the Federal gov't means growing the corporate sector in power more than exists today -- a frightening thought. At least gov't officials can be reached in an election, unlike your favorite corrupt CEO.
Skeptical (?) observer:
Dude, where do I ever allege DOD was duped? Their “leadership” is doing the duping, I agree. The motivation is resources, money, and who-knows-what-else that I want exposed in Truth and Reconciliation.
“your favorite corrupt CEO”? What are you talking about?
Skeptical Observer
you said ...
"First, there energy assets that the U.S. wants to control."
It's not about "controlling" energy assets. Peak Oil is a con-job. It's about the price of energy. Conflict raises the /BBL price of oil. The real worth of oil is below the /BBL "cost" figure big energy uses to amortize their production platforms, about 35$/BBL. When this gaming of oil price war ends, you'd better have already sold all your XOM holdings because the bottom will fall out of the oil market.
You also said
"Second, the DoD always wants and needs a "mission" to substantiate .. funding"
The DoD, as is congress, is bribe controlled by the Security and Wars Industrial Complex. When DoD big wigs leave, they get big buck private sector jobs working for the war mafia. When a congressional altar boy lover accumulates enough left over change in his/her campaign chest, they leave and go work for the war mafia.
We don't have government. We have "purchase order" processors.
I voted for Ron Paul in 2008 when the controlled media and the controlled political elites sneered at him and treated him as if he were mere pocket lint. I will again cast my vote for Ron Paul in 2012 if he has not been suicided by then.
justin seems to be a paid agent provocateur for the zionst new world order.
ron paul---a&e911truth--steven jones---and the worldwide 911 truth community---
they just keep on perservering--its a beautiful thing
and now we got the jersey girls supporting a&E911truth
Hey I wrote about that speech the other day too. It really is a shame that our Nation has fallen this far from Grace.

Ron Paul for President 2012
Hay Justin, might try reading about what is really going on.
I offer cessation as remedy as it has become obvious that few if any of these people represent anything American.
I hope you all are ready as the clock is rapidly going towards the last alarm.
The time period starts in March and runs through November. Pretty much total loss of our country, financial meltdown, rioting chaos in the streets, and finding us all left to our own devices for survival.
I strongly advocate starting now before it is too late.
The American people oppose Obama's agendas at every turn, and still he promises not to retreat from his positions.He is becoming increasingly adroit at blaming everyone else for his political failings. He has routinely been condescending and insulting to voters.His narcissism his arrogance, egotism and the appearance that he alone is worthy,He is bruised and angry.He, in effect, told an interviewer that ignoring the will of the people will potentially make him a "really good one-term president."
Obama is so driven and obsessed about passing Obama care because of how important Obama Care is to the advancement and implementation of the socialist/Marxist agenda:
"Medicine is the keystone of the arch of socialism.” - Vladimir Lenin
“Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality.
But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty,
socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, 1805-59
HOW COME SINCE THE ELITE STOLE OUR MONEY. GAVE US WORTHLESS PAPER FOR OUR GOLD AND SILVER. WHICH WAS A PLANNED TAKE OVER OUR COUNTRY AND ECONOMY. WHY NOT SEIZE AND LOCK THEM UP, FREEZE THEIR ASSETS AND GIVE GIVE THEM BACK TO OUR PEOPLE.
OUT DEBT FREE AND CLEAR AND AMERICA THRIVING!
THE OTHER SCAM, THAT THEY ARE PULLING ON US IS THE GOLD SALES AS OF LATE. IF ONE WAS TO READ THE FINE PRINT WHEN YOU BUY. IT STATE THAT IT MAY TAKEN AT ANYTIME WITH NO REIMBURSEMENT. IF THE GOVERNMENT OWNS THE GOLD, THEN WHY IS NOT BEING TAKEN BACK FROM THOSE THAT HAVE STOLEN IT FROM THEM AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

Loneagle:
Thanks, George. I read your bio; thank you for standing for facts to reveal what’s really driving US policy. We’ll keep moving forward and see what develops; that’s all I see we can do.
I have four issues I see my writing as helpful to reveal:
1. Current US wars are all based on provable lies, including threats for war with Iran.
2. US Wars are not even close to being legal when one knows US war laws and compares that to US claims.
3. The economy is an oligarchy with political muscle to enrich themselves at the debt peonage of the American public.
4. Structural solutions for monetary reform that serves the public are relatively easy; once we have the breakthrough to expose and end the oligarchy.
Thanks Carl, It is nice to see I am not the only one on Examiner reporting the real news of what is happening in our country. The Jason's are always the first type to attack. Fortunately the "Jason's" are swiftly getting to be the minority. Keep up the good work and duty we feel to tell the truth.
All Americans are in danger right now.
