In recent weeks, the poll numbers for Newt Gingrich have absolutely skyrocketed. Many now believe that he has a legitimate shot at winning the Republican nomination. But the truth is that he would be a really, really bad president. Gingrich is a big time Washington insider who believes in individual health care mandates, who supported the bailouts, who was instrumental in cramming NAFTA down the throats of the American people and who is either soft or wrong on just about every single issue that conservatives care about. His personal life has a history of being a mess, his finances have a history of being a mess and his campaign was such a mess a few months ago that most observers considered his candidacy to be completely dead. He has been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations for two decades and he has been spotted attending meetings at the Bohemian Grove. He sounds good during a debate, but it really boggles the mind that anyone would consider voting for someone with such a nightmarish track record.

South Carolina Used To Be Against Globalism
Monday, January 23rd, 2012
by Tom Valentine
In the mid-1990s, when Newt Gingrich was destroying American Sovereignty by pushing the globalist agenda of NAFTAFA and GATT with major media help, my Radio Free America and Liberty Lobby were two of the most outspoken opponents.
At the peak of our outreach one of the most active stations was WAIM AM radio, Anderson SC; The home of Clemson University in the thick of the storied Bible belt. SC was also proudly the state of Controversial Senators Fritz Hollings, who battled the corporate bastards and Israel firsters courageously against the media thrusts of the day, and Strom Thurmond, who was not especially loved except by more racist rebel types. The pious oxymorons did not revile Thurmond from the pulpits.
Nevertheless, that is merely background. America was in a mostly hyped, false flag turmoil in 1994. This proved to be good cover for the globalist pincers. Bill Clinton (and his partner in dope running out of Mena, Ark. George H.W. Bush) were targets for my Radio Free America broadcasts, which vehemently loathed the Zionist sponsored One world agenda, and the lynchpin of all the chicanery “the Fed banksters.
Rick Driver, WAIM station manager, was a good ol boy with guts and brains, and he knew the local people, who did not care a whit for government and had the moxy to also despise the Federal Reserve banksters. My program thrust was vehemently opposed to the developing Neocon movement and the NAFTA monopoly pushed by The lying, leering Newt.
When the station featured a dinner/rally against globalism, we had a packed house. I was keynote speaker. This was after I had repented and claimed Christ, but I was still a babe in the word, and kept my mouth shut about it while learning. The Carolina folks were totally pissed at Bill Clinton‘s glib infidelity, and he was an easy target. However, I recall that the anti-American NAFTAFA (North American Free Trade and Finance Agreements) pushed, pulled and backed by the rising chief neocon “Newt Gingrich was the greater enemy of the entrepreneurs and thinking people in the area.
Newt should be reviled for his Neocon sell out far more than for being a louse; A rotten husband is character flawed enough, Clinton proved that. But those of us who chronicled the fall of US sovereignty, at the time it was under direct invasion tried not to allow the false flags of Clinton‘s egomania, and the huge false flag of abortion provide cover for Newt’s traitorous contract with America; the dawning of outsourcing important, backbone jobs. All for the sake of corporate robber-barons.
Were I a South Carolinian today, I would not want to show my stupid face. And fifty years ago I told the Editors who assigned my work to shove their lying agenda. Help me be humble.
Ron Paul Slams “Out Of Control Police State” After Rand Paul Detained By TSA

GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul issued the following statement on his campaign website this afternoon, following his son Rand’s treatment at the hands of the TSA in Nashville.
“The police state in this country is growing out of control. One of the ultimate embodiments of this is the TSA that gropes and grabs our children, our seniors, and our loved ones and neighbors with disabilities. The TSA does all of this while doing nothing to keep us safe.
“That is why my ‘Plan to Restore America,’ in additional to cutting $1 trillion dollars in federal spending in one year, eliminates the TSA.
“We must restore the freedom and respect for liberty that once made American the greatest nation in human history. I am deeply committed to doing that as President of the United States.”
The website also posted a picture of Senator Rand Paul talking to reporters following the incident with the TSA:
Congressman Paul has been a long time critic of the TSA. In 2010 he introduced into the House the “American Traveler Dignity Act,” which would remove TSA agents’ immunity from prosecution for implementing invasive pat-down procedures. Paul re-introduced the legislation in the summer.
Newt Trust Is Different Than Forgiveness
A pedophile may be forgiven but do you pick him to run the church daycare. Then say "well no one is perfect, who are we to judge", no because trust is different than forgiveness.
Iran 'definitely' closing Strait of Hormuz over EU oil embargo
Tensions in the Gulf could reach a breaking point as a senior Iranian official said Iran would “definitely” close the Strait of Hormuz if an EU oil embargo disrupted the export of crude oil, the semi-official Fars news agency reports.
The announcement came in response to a decision by the European Union on Monday to impose an oil embargo on Iran over the country’s alleged nuclear weapons program.
“The pressure of sanctions is designed to try and make sure that Iran takes seriously our request to come to the table,” EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said.
However, with Washington’s decision to deploy a second carrier strike group in the Gulf, the EU’s attempt to pressure Iran economically could greatly increase the likelihood of all-out war in the region.
The Strait of Hormuz is the vital link between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
It is also one of the most strategic chokepoints in the world when it comes to oil transit.
With world oil output estimated at some 88 million barrels per day in 2011, the US Energy Information Administration estimated that some 17 million of those barrels passed through the Strait.
If economic sanctions sufficiently pressure Iran to retaliate by closing down the Strait, nearly 20 per cent of worldwide oil trade would be impacted, resulting in a massive spike in global energy costs.
With over half a million regular forces and an additional 120,000 personnel in the country’s elite Revolutionary Guard, analysts believe the consequences of a US-led war against Iran would dwarf recent Western-backed military incursions the Middle East.
Thus far, the US decision to maintain two carrier strike groups in the region has been described as “a routine activity”by Iran.
But the vast US military buildup in the region, which was bolstered when the Pentagon dispatched an additional 15,000 troops to the neighboring nation of Kuwait, was only the latest step in an obvious attempt by Washington to strengthen its military capabilities in the region.

If Ron Paul’s libertarian handlers and support base could escape their ideology, Ron Paul could be much better positioned to win the Republican nomination.
Here are some suggestions.
Ron Paul should be making the point that Social Security and Medicare are threatened by multi-trillion dollar wars that are funded by debt, by bailouts of a deregulated banking system, and by money creation to keep the banks afloat. Libertarians support deregulation, but their position has always been that deregulated industries must not be bailed out with public subsidies, much less subsidies that are so extensive that they threaten government solvency and the value of the currency.
Instead of hitting hard on the serious threat to Social Security and Medicare posed by Obama and Republican candidates for the nomination, all of whom serve Wall Street, the military/security complex, and the Israel Lobby, Ron Paul has been positioned both by his supporters and his opponents as the danger to Social Security and Medicare. This is an amazing strategic mistake by the Ron Paul campaign.
