Sen. Rand Paul on a radio interview June 12, 2012 with host Kurt Wallace told listeners that his endorsement of Mitt Romney for President doesn't mean anything - in terms of what his political philosophy is - and the things he supports.
It was NOT widely reported.

The Federal Reserve - 100 Years Of EVIL
Minister Louis Farrakhan quotes Ron Paul - discusses the Federal Reserve and it's worsening evil influence over society during its' 100 years of existence.
It's so important to get our message to mainstream America and beyond. Only through an educated understanding of what the Federal Reserve is doing behind the scenes, can this evil institution be rooted out of existence, and be replaced by our own governments control of the monetary system.

I Am Amanda Todd
There is hope and help.
Too bad Amanda didn't feel close enough to someone - anyone - who she could draw strength from. Without some kind of support - what's to make life seem worth living? Parents - keep in mind - kids feelings are valid - do not discount them in any way. This tragedy needn't have happened. Taking ones life over being bullied is the ultimate defeat - which gives empowerment over to the bully. Emotional support that is stronger than the effects applied by the bullies is critical to defeat the negative effects. A parent is ultimately responsible for the type of self esteem a kid has - and if a parent or a parent to be is not willing to accept that responsibility - they have no business having kids in the first place.
Amanda is dead.. Tragic and sad. She won't see this page. But many "Amanda's" out there will. I only hope that those who feel like she did - and are contemplating the same fate - STOP - and realize - RIGHT NOW - that there is hope and help. Life is not a popularity contest - no matter how much pressure you feel to go along with others in order to gain acceptance. It is not the path to take. It is not necessary. You needn't engage the bullies or their cheerleaders. You may feel lonely. You may feel hopeless. You may feel unworthy. But these are temporary feelings which will pass as long as you seek out better solutions and see the evildoers in their proper light. They aren't the ones to please. Drugs and alcohol only offer temporary relief but will serve only to catapult you into further despair as their effects don't hold up over time. Behavior modification therapy is available and works! There are methods you can learn and employ (such as the triangle of change) which will permanently empower you to overcome the negative feelings and relieve you of the pain. Yes it's hard - but it's worth it.
But you have to take some right steps - and it means coming clean with someone about what is happening - in a setting that offers you real time results. Although a video sent to the world may seem to offer sympathy to your plight, it also opens the doors to haters and trolls, who not unlike bullies, find a distorted pleasure in your pain - and have the benefit of anonymity to keep your negative feelings alive through their feedback. It is not the recommended course of action. Rather, through school Guidance counselors, a trusted teacher, or a call to a suicide hotline can direct you to people who really care - and who can start you on a road of positive benefits. It's your life - your walk - and you must make the effort to start the process. but it will be the best action you ever took - because from there it gets easier.
The one thing that prevented me from following through when feelings of suicide weighed heavy on my mind - was the act of thinking it through a bit further. When I did that, I realized that I needed to stick around so I could know what tomorrow might bring, and there was no way for me to ever know if I took that final way out.
There are people who actually and really do care! Kind helpful people are out there - just as there are bullies, and these caring people can back it up with a plan of action for your life. Give them a chance - and give yourself a chance. Don't fight the impossible fight. You can't win by yourself - you probably know that. And you can defeat the evil of the bully when you have a toolbox of resources. You deserve that much.
Amanda is dead. I only wish she had someone to help her. Someone she trusted and believed in enough. But, her life hasn't been in vain. It has re-raised awareness, and perhaps helped someone from falling victim to her fate. Maybe you.
If you are in a situation - feeling like Amanda did, do not take that final - irreversible - permanent step. Just hang in there a bit longer. Ponder this thought for awhile.
You were put here on Earth - in this lifetime - for a very valuable purpose. This is not about God, Jesus or any religion. It is about reality - and spiritual fact. Who you are on the inside is the spirit. Your body is it's housing, it's shell. There are no two spirits alike - you are like a snowflake - or a butterfly - each uniquely beautiful - yet you are also human - sharing the same basic ingredients - yet each of us has our own unique recipe of ingredients - varying degrees. We are meant to be ourselves - proud - happy and strong in our own uniqueness. This is not an accident. Just because you may not understand what your purpose is yet, doesn't mean there is none - or that you wont find it.
You just need help in searching - and blocking out any negative roadblocks along the way. Bullies are the saddest lot because they are the one's who despite their cheerleaders, are lost the most. They need fans in order to act out - and avoid doing for themselves the hard work. It's easier to cut someone else down than it is to build oneself up. So you have to leave them in the rearview - by what ever means possible. You can't be worried about what they think or are doing. It's their problem. And they've tried to make their problem, your problem. You can choose. I think you know what good that choice has been.
So now it's time to give yourself a break and make the other choice. The wise choice. The choice that will lead to your triumph - in becoming the great person you are - to yourself!
Seek out the help. It's there for the asking. I'm happy to hear of your progress and results along the way. Maybe I can toss an idea your way that's appropriate to your circumstance. Feel free to write me.

Pro-life Hypocrite, Lawyer of the People Segment | Breaking The Set #28
During the Heroes and Villians segment of Breaking The Set #28, Abby Martin highlights DC attorney, Jeffrey Light, for representing hundreds of Occupy DC protestors who are facing charges for practicing their first amendment rights. Abby then calls out Representative Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee for being a pro-life hypocrite and forcing his mistress to get an abortion.
Biden's "Laugh Off"
I guess you can say VP Joe Biden used all available minutes, even if they weren't his own during the "debate" Thursday night against Republican candidate Paul Ryan. When Ryan spoke, Biden laughed, grimaced, chuckled or rolled his eyes - and the camera picked up on every gesture.
Biden, the seasoned performer with decades of politicking and as some
might say, "with a few screws loose" did get serious, when it was his
turn to speak. The problem, though, is whether he was believable.

Rich, worried and buying ad time
Misdirected Propaganda
Billionaire Thomas Peterffy is spending millions on television ads this election season with one cautionary message: Avoid socialism.
"As a young boy, I was fantasizing about one day going to America, making a success of myself. The Americ an Dream," he says.
Peterffy left his country and moved to New York in 1965, where-without knowing English–he got a computer programming job on Wall Street. He later purchased his own seat on the American Stock Exchange in 1977 and, fast forward a few years, found himself the creator of Interactive Brokers, one of the first electronic trading firms.
Forbes Magazine now estimates Peterffy, 68, has a net worth of $4.6 billion.
Commentary by Mac Ambo
10/11/12
Peterffy is a billionaire, whose standard of living for the past 40
of his 68 years hasn't come close to that of average people much less
those near, on or under the poverty level. He is out of touch with the
reality that too many people face in America today. His best
recollections of his meager days in Hungary don't factor in the modern
day realities - where, at that time - America WAS a true beacon of hope
and opportunity. The "dream" could ignite a determined motivation to
succeed. And success was possible, many times - by just "showing up" and
maintaining discipline - the "sticktoitiveness of persistence" paid
off. And that's where he loses me.
Present day America is a stripped down, bare shelved, debt ridden and
rusting warehouse of outsourced production which no longer closely
resembles a place where the atmosphere beckons opportunists and the
common man - willing to work hard, offering a healthy vibrant growing
economy, rewarding wealth for the effort - unless - they have capital or
access to capital. Try and borrow from a bank these days. At rates as
low as 1%, the only people banks are interested in are those entities,
be it people or companies who don't need to borrow, but prefer to use
OPM (other peoples money) to finance their ventures. The incentive to lend Average Joe just
isn't there - banks won't take the risk.
There is no shortage of people in America wanting to better
themselves. The $1 trillion dollar student debt proves it. But defaults
on student loans prove also - that there aren't enough job opportunities
to match the demand. With the Fed printing money at an insane rate,
seeking to forestall the inevitable financial collapse, buying power is
being reduced greatly, forcing people to adopt a lower standard of
living as each day passes.
So, here is a situation in which people are having forced upon them,
conditions - where it will soon come down to the basic survivability of a
people - a bleak way of life, but food shelter and clothing are most
important and necessary, by whatever means.
And that, Mr. Peterffy is the new, soon to be faced reality of
America. Your ads might be better aimed at Congress, Ben Bernanke and
the Fed, and even your own candidate - Mr. Romney, the right half of the
unimocracy - as well as Obama, the left half. Aim it at the globalists,
the corporatists, your Wall Street friends and the warmongers. Leave
the average American alone, unless you have some definite solutions to
share - solutions that work. So far, your message is pure propaganda, by
someone who has turned - long ago from that hopeful little boy in
Hungary into one of the elitists, wanting for nothing, and whose message
does not apply. Had you not succeeded in America, during a time of
robust economic growth - you might have a different understanding today.
Even then, the odds only favor a few. The game is rigged that way.

Restaurant Owner Has Mitt Romney Backing Up To Avoid Fierce Facial Wipe ...
Mitt Romney attacked by restaurant owner whose
weapon of choice was paper napkins!
"Question Everything!"
In a campaign stop on Sunday October 7, 2012 in Port St Lucie, Florida, the Republican nominee and wife Ann stopped by the Tin Fish Restaurant for some seafood and allow a photo op.
During the photo op, owner Joseph Melluso gave Romney's face a vigorous wipe down with some napkins. You can count out 9 swipes the first time around. Romney laughed hesitantly before leaning back out of the chef's reach, saying: 'Thank you, thank you... you're next. It's a little rainy out there.'
After the first couple of pictures were taken, Mr Melluso took another look at the candidate and reached again to remove something from the corner of his lip, to which a startled Romney exclaimed: 'I got it!"
Romney looked a bit uncomfortable during the situation before jetting on to Virginia the next day. Security for Romney didn't find it necessary to intervene.
Melluso must have had a very doting mother. He should never try this on a cop. Iat would be 9 counts of assault if he's lucky. Bullets if not.

ALEX JONES IS CRAZY!!! BUT HE'S THE REAL THING
Award winning journalist and former CNN correspondent Amber Lyon and Joe Rogan, comedian, television host, and star of the Joe Rogan Experience agree. Controversial film maker, founder of Infowars and Prison Planet, Infowars Nightly News host Alex Jones is the genuine article. He's dedicated, willing to stick his neck out and say things the mainstream media keeps quiet about. He's definitely not fake. Nor does he work for the CIA. "Yes he's crazy, but in a good way!" says Rogan. "He is intense and fun to be with. He's a good friend and I love him." Amber Lyon was a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience October 4, 2012 and discussed the subject of Alex Jones during the shows opening minutes.

This is What's Wrong w/ Wall Street
Curious why legendary hedge fund managers are shutting down shops left
and right in disgust with the mockery that central planning and
algorithmic short-termism had made of equity markets? Don't be: his name
is Julian Marchese, he runs a "macro fund"... and he is 16 and - he says he's been trading since the age of 11!
Someone who has never even seen half of a business cycle starts running your money, and, probably worse, starts making money,
which leads them to believe they know what they are doing, and then gets
gullible LPs to allocate capital to them based on a 3 month track
record, when in reality the entire market is one merely primed for
outperformance courtesy of central planner puts and priced to Bernie
Madoff ponzi perfection, targeting a specific investor type.
This is what's wrong with Wall Street - and mainstream media outlets who give credibility to the notion that on Wall Street - even a kid can manage your money!

Julian Assange addresses the UN on human rights
FROM RT
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has called on the United States to move from words to actions, and put an end to its persecution of WikiLeaks, its people and its sources. He made the statement during an address to a panel of UN delegates.
Addressing the representatives of the United Nations' member countries, the WikiLeaks founder spoke of the difference between words and actions, praising US President Barack Obama for his words.
"We commend and agree with the words that peace can be achieved… But the time for words has run out. It is time for the US to cease its persecution of WikiLeaks, our people and our sources."
Assange was highly critical of US involvement in the Arab Spring, denouncing Obama as audacious for exploiting it. He added that it is "disrespectful of the dead" to claim that the US has supported forces of change.
"Was it not audacious for the US President to say that his country supported the forces of change in the Arab Spring? Tunisian history did not begin in December 2010, and Mohamed Bouazizi did not set himself on fire so that Barack Obama could be re-elected," Assange told the panel.
"The world knew after reading WikiLeaks that Ben Ali and his government had for long years enjoyed the indifference, if not the support, of the US, in full knowledge of its excesses and its crimes. So it must come as a surprise to the Tunisians that the US supported the forces of change in their country, and it must come as a surprise to the Egyptian teenagers who washed American tear gas out of their eyes, that the US administration supported change in Egypt"
Julian Assange also spoke at length about Bradley Manning, the US private accused of supplying WikiLeaks with hundreds of sensitive diplomatic and military cables. Assange accused the US government of detaining Manning without charge and mistreating him, even attempting to offer him a deal in exchange for Manning's testimony against Assange. The WikiLeaks founder told the UN panel that Bradley Manning, accused of 'death penalty crimes', was "degraded, abused and psychologically tortured."
He added that the FBI had produced 42,135 pages of WikiLeaks-related activity, and less that 8,000 concern Bradley Manning, reiterating his belief that the US private is being senselessly detained.
Julian Assange made his address from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he took shelter in June after losing a court battle to avoid extradition to Sweden. The WikiLeaks founder fears that Sweden, which wants him for questioning over allegations of sexual assault, will extradite him to the US for his role in leaking thousands of secret diplomatic and military cables.
The British Foreign Office maintains that it has a binding obligation to arrest Assange once he leaves the embassy grounds. Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino, meanwhile, said that allowing Assange to be transferred to the country’s embassy in Sweden would be an acceptable compromise for all parties involved, as he would “remain under our protection while also satisfying the demands of the Swedish justice system.”
The Ecuador FM also said that Assange's right to freedom must be respected.
"I don’t know any case in history where diplomatic asylum did not end in freedom for the person. I hope this will not be an exception in history. Every country must respect the right of the country granting asylum and the person who was granted it."
Julian Assange told journalists present at the UN GA panel that "both the UK and Sweden have refused to offer guarantees" that he would not be extradited to the US, where both he and WikiLeaks have been declared 'enemies of the state' by the milatary, putting them in the same legal category as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
The UK and Sweden have remained silent on the possibility of a compromise, though both publicly vowed that Assange should not face special treatment, whether better or worse than normal, under their legal systems.

Leaked Footage - Colorado County Clerk Registering Only Romney Voters
County Employee On Taxpayer Time
Instructed To Register Voters Only For Mitt Romney
Explaining The Hypocrisy of the USA Regarding the MEK.
BREAKING THE SET w ABBY MARTIN
This is one of the best segments that I have seen yet on this show - or any other for that matter - regarding EXPLAINING THE HYPOCRISY concerning MEK.
The People's Mujahedin of Iran or the Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (MEK, also PMOI, MKO) is a militant revolutionary Iranian organization that was one of the leading participants of the 1979 Revolution that overthrew the Pahlavi Shah. It is now an opposition movement in exile, that advocates the overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Canada, Iraq and Iran designate the MEK as a terrorist organization. The European Union and the United States formerly listed the MEK as a terrorist organization, but this designation has since been lifted, first by the Council of the European Union in 26 January 2009 (following what the group called a “seven-year-long legal and political battle”), then by a decision by U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on 21 September 2012.
