Asbestos Dangers



Mesothelioma is a dreaded cancer that is nearly always caused by just one factor: asbestos exposure.

FACT: Family members of those who are regularly exposed to high levels of asbestos also have a high risk of developing malignant mesothelioma.

Congressman Ron Paul warns of a new "Gulf of Tonkin"

( Home » Congressman Ron... )
Submitted by Reprehensor on Sun, 01/14/2007 - 7:14pm.
| |

On Thursday, January 11, 2007, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas (R) (but he's really a Libertarian) hit the house floor and put on the record what many Americans fear might be coming down the pipe; a new Gulf of Tonkin incident to initiate a shooting war with Iran.

"The truth is that Iran, like Iraq, is a third-world nation without a significant military. Nothing in history hints that she is likely to invade a neighboring country, let alone America or Israel. I am concerned, however, that a contrived Gulf of Tonkin- type incident may occur to gain popular support for an attack on Iran."

The quote above is from the modified version of Paul's speech, in his newsletter, linked here.

Thanks, Joe, Silent Patriot, and altruist.

You don't say.

Agree 100%. Watching Dick Cheney here on fox news Sunday and he's basically laying down the law. He said even if congress was to pass a bill against sending more troops the president has the authority to do it anyway (is that a dictatorship?). He also said America has to do the right thing and stay in Iraq and cannot give up and go home because that is the strategy of Bin-Laden (who is dead). But he talked about how this needed to be the type of strategy followed for the next 30 to 40 years!!! Oh yes here we come Iran I thought when he said that. This truth is dangerous to it, so is the activism against the war. I think the public grows more fed up with it each day to the point where not long from now if things don't change there may be some serious civil unrest in America's streets. But this is scary stuff the way it's used. It only makes me more sure 9/11 was an inside job watching this. The way that all contradictions are ignored. This is absurd. But seriously we need to be in this for the long haul.

Standing on his constitutional rights

"Watching Dick Cheney here on fox news Sunday and he's basically laying down the law. He said even if congress was to pass a bill against sending more troops the president has the authority to do it anyway (is that a dictatorship?)"

Actually, Cheney said that the president was going to stand on his constitutional right as Commander in Chief to order up more troops. That made me chuckle since the whole of the gov't is working so hard to trash the Constitution. Just one more instance of the elite doing what they like.

Commander in Belief!

If war had ever been declared... then he would be commander in his dreams. But War has never been. George asked for authority to discipline his pet Dog Sadaam. And now the entire world knows the answer to the Neocon's Question.. "No the World is not a Safer Place with Sadaam Gone".. the Danger doesn't come from him.

Truth

Great speech, truth seems to be vanishing even though thousands of people are being killed for nothing less then money.
If congress does'nt wake up they will later be betrayed by those they are being talked into protecting.

When 9/11 blows wide open they will be astonished they believed a story that is'nt possible, which is the main excuse
for thousands of innocent people being killed abroad.

The Biggest Cover Up of

The Biggest Cover Up of 9/11 Revealed

The biggest cover-up of 9/11 crimes has been revealed.

The biggest cover-up has NOT been the destruction of 99.7% of the steel of from the World Trade Center buildings.

The biggest cover-up has NOT been the failure of the US gov’t to release a clear video of the Pentagon strike of 9/11 from one of its dozens of Pentagon surveillance cameras.
The biggest cover-up has NOT been the 9/11 Commission, which admits that it did not pursue the truth when it knew it had received perjured and contradicting testimony from government agencies.

The biggest cover-up has NOT been from the mainstream media, which has failed to pursue and follow-up on hundreds or thousands of leads and stories which dispute the official story of 9/11.

No, the BIGGEST coverup of 9-11 crimes has been the American people who refuse to look at the mountains of evidence that are readily available to them that contradict the official story of 9/11.

These Americans cover up their eyes and refuse to look at the evidence.

These Americans cover up their ears and refuse to listen to the evidence.

These Americans cover up their mouths and refuse to demand answers to the unanswered questions of 9/11.

These Americans are covering up their senses, and are closing their minds.

They are in what is called a psychological state of denial.

I showed my dad the '9/11

I showed my dad the '9/11 misdirection' movie yesterday, because of the cool lesson in how we filter out information. I wasn't going to show him anything concerning 9/11 because I know it is far outside his reality. On the spur of the moment, I decided to show him the collapse of WTC7 anyway, and asked him what he saw.
'What do you mean?' he asked.
'Just describe what you see,' I said.
'Oh, it's that Philips building on so-and-so street, that was demolished recently' he said.

Poor dad, when I said it happened on 9/11 and talked about how this had been covered up by the media, you could almost see smoke coming out of his ears. He looked like a big question mark as he tried to grasp the implications of this. We talked some more about it and I was going to show him pictures of the Pentagon. But then he shut down, and decided pictures on the internet aren't trustworthy. I can't blame him though, the first exposure to such information can be shocking. At least he recognized WTC7 as a controlled demolition.

misdirection

Bravo fhb.
Never underestimate the power of denial. It was the same with Hitler before and in the early years of WW2 for a lot of Europeans. Unfortunately the propaganda apparatus has evolved a great deal since then. Despite all that the truth movement continues to grow.

Thanks

for the advice everyone. I have a feeling he doesn't want it to be brought up again.. maybe he'll open up when there is more 'official' media coverage of these things. His English skills aren't that strong either (I'm in Norway).

What I've kept thinking about, is that it doesn't seem to matter where you are in this on this planet, people have to go through the same paradigm shift regarding 9/11.. that's how uniformly the events have been presented to us.

(The rest of my family haven't had any problems with seeing that 9/11 was an inside job, when I showed them the evidence)

Keving Barrett

I have been hoping Barett help could help get the scholars on both sides to pull their out of you know where settle things and get back on track. That aint gonna happen unless we lean on them, so let's do it. The scholars provided the leverage to get this thing going in the first place in my opinion. Ron Paul is gonna need some help and I'm behind him %100, I'll even send him money. Do you think he will address 911, I doubt it. What do you guys think?

Oops, that was me.

I got all excited and forgot to sign in. But seriously, how many jaws must have hit the floor in Congress! I can't wait to hear what some of the replies will be, definitely a litnus test of the new congress' integrity.

When do we get to see a brave congressman speak like that about a new 9/11 investigation?

Here is a list of other stories I submitted to Buzzflash.net and the response from others.

No story I have posted in the past month exist...all removed.

Hear hear.

It's all about viewership for them. I bet most of them know, it's not like editors live in a bubble. They need to know that they won't drive away their audience.

"Buh-buh but that violates the principles of true journalism!" Well yes. But it's very hard to teach someone something that his salary depends on not knowing.

wow

I wasnt expecting that. Someone on the house floor, live on CSPAN, saying not just that the US is planning to strike Israel(or Iran), but that it could involve a Gulf of Tonkin(ie: false flag) type of event.

I think if he had hinted at 9/11 truth in there I would have fainted.
