Free kibbles

REGULATION:

I had no idea that telecom companies were forced to provide landline phone service.

HEALTH CARE:

Supreme Court to hear Obamacare case.

POLICE STATE:

Man arrested on two felony counts for pointing his finger at police. What the heck is assault by way of intimidation?

Have you ever wondered who was in charge of the government? According to the Constitution, Congress has the most power by far. But not in reality. For example, the TSA just pressured Congress to drop a critic from testifying at hearings about the uselessness of the TSA. You can bet that somebody in Congress was threatened if that critic was allowed to testify. J. Edgar Hoover might have blown the blackmail government to new heights, but I think now it's ubiquitous. The executive branch has all the wiretapping tools. It has all the policing tools. That means it has all the blackmail tools. I wouldn't be surprised if the first minute a president enters the Oval Office, some staff member informs him that if he does anything to limit the power of government, government agents will ruin or kill him and his family.

WAR:

What's happening in Syria?
"The US, Britain, France, and some conservative Arab allies have funded and armed the Syrian rebellion from its start a year ago. In fact, the US has been funding anti-Asad groups since the mid 1990's. Arms and munitions are said to be flowing to Syria's rebels through Jordan and Lebanon. Extreme rightwing groups in Lebanon, funded by western and Arab powers and Israel, are playing a key role in infiltrating gunmen and arms into northern Syria."
I wonder who will make our rulers' wine and electricity after they've killed everybody.
"The Sunni Muslim Brotherhood has once again risen against the Alawi-dominated regime in Damascus. In 1982, this writer was outside the Syrian city of Hama when government forces crushed a Brotherhood uprising, killing an estimated 10,000 people and razing part of the city with heavy artillery.
Enter the jihadis. Recently, small numbers of al-Qaida veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan have entered Syria and are using car bombs to try to destabilize the government. Current al-Qaida leader, Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri, has called for all-out war against the Asad regime.
Interestingly, the US, France and Britain now find themselves in bed with the very jihadist forces they profess to abhor – but, of course, whom they used in Afghanistan inn the 1980's and, lately, in Libya."
Our government empowered the Muslim Brotherhood and jihadist allies including al Qaeda in Egypt, Libya and now Syria. It created al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The war on terror is a farce. Our supposed enemies were created by our government, and our government is allying with them and empowering them.

It's funny that talking heads keep telling us Americans don't support Ron Paul's foreign policy, but now the news reports that support for the Afghan war has collapsed over the last several months. Who else has been saying we should get out of Afghanistan during that time? This is another debate Ron Paul is winning.
