Ron Paul delegate from Texas claims somebody broke into her room at the convention, for which she filed a police report, stole nothing, but planted bullets in her luggage which got her in trouble with the TSA when she left Tampa.

Ben Swann at Channel 19 in Cincinnati once again exposes Republican corruption, this time at the convention. Ben Swann is becoming an underground, national media legend for exposing things nobody in the mainstream media will mention. If the rest of the mainstream media, including Foxnews, would report this information with this kind of honesty, they wouldn't be dying and replaced by the internet.

Description of the convention.

"This convention convened nothing and decided nothing. Onerous security, unhealthy and overpriced concession food in the Forum, the moment-by-moment scripting of the convention speeches, and the pervasive fear of the liberty and constitution segment of the crowd is what we will remember. Ten fat men in a room built that.
These devils dancing on the head of a pin ultimately amount to very little. What these men built isn’t good, doesn’t work, and won’t sell. Their so-called conservative message – saving welfare programs to be paid for by unborn Americans, fighting wars on the other side of the world on borrowed money, cutting imaginary out-year federal budgets and calling that constitutional government – is falling flat."

This isn't necessarily disaster for Republicans. All they had to do is be slightly less bad than Democrats. But it is disaster for the country.

Here's the full text of Clint Eastwood's speech. It wasn't delivered very smoothly, but I think it's great.

I often point to the Bilderbergers as the major controllers of world politics. Gary North points at the CFR. There are a couple of other organizations, made up of the same people or at least the same interests. Whatever name you call them by, the control the money and the power. They are the top politicians, bankers, CEOs and labor bosses. They are the spawn of the Rothschilds and Rockefellers. They are the power brokers. They are our rulers.

The most important question of this election season is whether or not the Ron Paul revolution is over Lots of fools claim it is. Others fools claim it is not. I discount all of them. I'm not so sure there ever was a Ron Paul revolution. Backing a guy because he's the only anti-war candidate in the race isn't a revolution. If you don't believe me, ask George McGovern. It remains to be seen if the larger issue of freedom and prosperity preached by Paul will take root. I have little confidence it will. On the other hand, I have no doubt that more and more people will reject the two parties every day as our country descends into self-destruction and chaos. What's so sad about this election is should have pitted Obama's desire to destroy America and create a Marxist state in its ashes with Paul's desire to allow the economic correction necessary in order to rebuild a free economy. All the talk about clear choices between Obama and Romney is crap. You couldn't fit a hair between their policies. Ron Paul offered a fantastically different vision and policy alternative to Obama, and that's why he would have beat him like a drum. Of all the Republican candidates, Romney, because he was the most similar to Obama, is guaranteed to win the fewest votes.

All of this mute. The economy is going to collapse. The government is going to default, either outright or by printing money. There are no other options. Nobody knows what will come out of that. The US as we know it hangs in the balance. Ron Paul foolishly failed to make this point during the entire primary campaign, he just played games with the establishment candidates, so we have no idea how the people will react when everything falls apart.

And for a more honest assessment:

"Look, at that rate, it will only be.......... 700,000 days.... before everyone is awake."
"You see, it will only be..... 35,000 days... or 95 years.... before we are again free."
"The number? 7,500 days. Twenty years."

This illustrates the fatal flaw of central planners, even those hoping to do math to discover when we'll be free. It'll never happen. It's never happened in history. It'll never happen. That's because when society collapses into chaos, the people who will pick up the pieces will have been brainwashed in government schools. The only hope is to escape.

It looks like President Obama is going to campaign in Maine. Maine is typically a solid Democrat state, but apparently Obama is afraid he might lose it.  This does not bode well for his re-election.
