We can't let this insanity continue!

Talk about having lost our compass! In the depths of being broker than broke, we launch yet another (illegal) war. We have a thoroughly non-representative government (majority of Americans oppose this war according to a recent poll).

If there ever was a time to water the the tree of liberty, this is about as close as it gets. We need to re-energize ourselves and follow in the footsteps of our founders with a real revolution.

A million+ people converging on the capital and refusing to leave until the government is toppled, ala Egypt, is our only recourse at this point.

"Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won,whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory." --- Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

RƎVO⅃UTION NOW!

Good for Libya

If I was a Libyan I´d be glad to have the US, France, the UK etc. on my side attacking evil government forces and helping ousting the dictator.
I`m from the small country of Finland and we were attacked by the Soviets in 1939 but we didn´t get any help from anyone except Sweden including a small number of volunteers from several foreign nations. As a result 10% of the area had to be ceded to the Soviet and 400.000 people resettled. In 1918 on the other hand we experienced a civil war between communists and anti-communists. Back then we were lucky to have Germany on our side. They sent 10.000 soldiers and helped the anti communists take the capital. Good for us, otherwhise Finland might have become a communist nation and still today probably one of the poorest nations in Europe.

Maybe

But what if we are taking the role of the Soviets in Finland. Libya seemed to be fighting a Civil War. Apples and Oranges?

Free includes debt-free!

Finland was also fighting a Civil War, in 1918

We also fought a civil war and I´m glad the germans intervened over here in 1918. My point is that intervention is not necessarily a bad thing for the Libyan people.

Not with my money..

Beside I can't know if it is really for the general welfare. On the contrary some will die and some will gain a power that destroys freedom.

Free includes debt-free!

There were several goals:

Waste military equipment, start a war and spend a lot of money. The purpose is to insure that there are no alternatives to raising the debt ceiling.

Our likely creditors required an attack on a nation as a condition of raising the debt ceiling.

By attacking the Executive "signs" for the loan without Congress.

Unless, the President only made his announcement after the fact, to cover the fact that he had no idea the bombs would fall.

Late last week I heard the death roar of the loaded B52 flying west to east. We make industrial killing machines and our chief export in the new millennium is death.

Free includes debt-free!

Morons.

What right do they have to take sides in a civil war? To attack a foreign nation without a declaration of war?
I guess theyre really eager to set up another puppet regime in place of the current dictator.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants

U.S. Military in Crisis

The Department of Defense may be in danger of running out of designs for further military campaign medals. Most of the colors of the spectrum have been used in every possible arrangement, combination, and sequence. The attack on Libya has medal designers scratching their heads and scrambling for something new. A supercomputer may have to be employed to come up with an answer. But even if it does, what about the next war? The only solution may be to design something called "The Continuous War Medal" which may be sufficient for all future conflicts between now and the end of the empire.

It's about the New World Order, Not Chavez or Castro or Kadhafi

Murder Inc, The Counterfeit American Government is the enemy here. Keep your eyes on the fact that we have a Criminal Government that answers only to the Crowned Heads of Europe (Blue Bloods) and the International Banking Cartel and The Multinational Corporations. They use The U.S. Military run by the CIA and Pentagon. The MSM Media is their mouth piece..

GOT IT?

Absolutely true

People need to wake up to this reality soon.

Good Points


Every since the Federal Reserve (Central Bank) came into existence in 1913, our longstanding, foresworn enemy The British, suddenly became "our friend", and The United States started going overseas, and fighting all of Europe's dirty Imperial Wars for them -- beginning with WWI -- with Americans paying the bill.

I don't know why so many Americans put up with it. War after War after War after War. Lies after lies after lies. Trillions of dollars wasted, and Millions of innocent people slaughtered.

People don't realize that this Country never really won the American Revolution. We only won it temporarily, but the International Bankers (Bank of England) prevailed.

But it is impossible to reclaim our Country now, when they run the Media, have all the guns, own the Judges, the Jails, the Election system, and have the CIA at their disposal.

We are living in the 21st century's version of The Middle Ages.

Hugo Chavez calls it: 'madness'

Hugo Chavez condemns Libya airstrikes as 'madness'
By IAN JAMES
Mar 20, 9:22 PM EDT

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez condemned what he called "indiscriminate bombing" by the U.S. and its allies in Libya, saying Sunday that the assault is unjustified and will only unleash more bloodshed.

Cuba's government also criticized the attacks and called for the conflict to be resolved through negotiation.

Chavez said the U.S. is after Libya's oil, and warned President Barack Obama not to try any similar intervention in the South American country. "With Venezuela, don't even think about it, Mr. Obama," he said.

I could care less what Hugo

I could care less what Hugo Chavez thinks.

Hugo is one of the enemies of

Hugo is one of the enemies of the NWO so the media propaganda against Hugo needs to be questioned. The globalists are installing their puppets in one country at a time. They installed on in the US called Obama replacing previous puppet Bush.

Hugo is right

The U.S. are the mass murderers, and Hugo is right.

I have much more respect for Hugo Chavez, who stood up to U.S. Multinational Corps, and the murdering CIA and actually beat them! That's a rare accomplishment folks, and Venezuela has the right to control its own Oil, and tell these predatory foreigners to go home.

I root for Hugo Chavez each and every day. He's the only guy who has been able to defeat the U.S.-British Empire, and reclaim true national sovereignty for his Country.


Me too, but I hope he's

Ron, they are saying that this is a "HUMANITARIAN ACT" not

In our 'NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST.' How in Gods name is Dropping 114 cruise missles on northern Libya a "HUMANINTARIAN EFFORT" These missles kill civilians as well. Look! This War is based on a lie, a 'BIG LIE!

Additionally,this was really drawn up by our Pentagon. This is our War, the sin is ours. Hiding behind this U.N. Global World Body is the excuse for invading a sovereign country. Yea sure, Kadhafi is a bad guy, but destroying his country and murdering civilians is not A Humanitarian effort, its genocidal murder. The Decision to go into Libya was made because Kadhafi drove back the U.S. Special forces, the SAS incursions into Libya.(the rebels) The Destabilization of Libya was planned months ago and it didn't go well. So now they have to bomb them into submission by murdering them with bombs and missles. After awhile we'll go in with ground forces and steal their oil.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !!

When are we going to come to our senses and realize that this is WW3 one country at a time.

Very wise words from Ron Paul.

One of the only real Congressmen in a Capitol and White House full of traitors and criminals.

Will the UN impose a No-Fly Zone on the US?

When the US government starts killing American rebels fighting to overthrow the dictator in the White House and restore the republic, who will enforce a No-Fly Zone?

Will Americans actually have to work it out amongst themselves?

It really exposes the hypocrisy when you look at things from an opposite view.

this is sickening

MARCH 19, 2011
OBAMA: 'Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world'...

MARCH 19, 2003
BUSH: 'American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger'...

Reading all the posts on HuffPo and you begin to think....are people really this stupid?

"Dawn" - The Dark Light Of Satan..Sun Of The Morning

Odyssey Dawn - The Dawning of a new day : The day belongs to him. The Reference is to lucifer, before the fall; The Illuminated One, sun of the morning star: venus is the morning star, can be seen before sunlight. ("DAWN")

Odyssey Dawn : Some kind of code only known by the inner circle of the Illuminati..The "Illuminati"(The Illuminated ones) was Organized by a one Adam Weishaupt. The Illuminati first met in Bavaria, Germany in 1776, the same year our Declaration of Independence was written. Made up of business men, men of academia, members of mason lodges and men of the collar (religious leaders)

Our American educational system was changed sometime after the 1830s and replaced by this Bavarian System known as "Public Education."

George Washington was very concerned about the infiltration of these unseen forces and wrote about it them in 1796. They eventually took over by infiltrating the American Masonic Lodges.
