Ventura Fears ‘We Did 9/11 To Ourselves’
Former Governor Jesse Ventura went further in his 9/11 skepticism than ever before today when he told the Howard Stern Show of his fear that elements of the U.S. government carried out the attack, stating, “I hate to fear….that we possibly did it to ourselves.”

FLDS Hearings Advance Amid Confusion, Angst
RedOrbit
SAN ANGELO, Texas — The massive child custody case involving hundreds of children taken from the Fundamentalist LDS Church’s YFZ Ranch lurches forward with another full day of status hearings today addressing what it will take to reunite parents with their children.
Hearings held simultaneously in five courtrooms in the past two days have already produced a number of revelations, confusion and bitterness.
During a hearing Tuesday afternoon, Dan Jessop asked one judge for some explanations: “What is CPS’s purpose and reasons for doing this and what good this does for me and my family?”
FLDS members continue to deny the allegations of abuse on the YFZ Ranch — that girls were groomed to become child brides and boys would grow up to be predators. In fact, Child Protective Services caseworkers were hard-pressed to articulate abuse for any of the families that sat before them in court.
“Inch by inch, and day by day, the truth is starting to come out about what’s really happening here,” said Rod Parker, a Salt Lake attorney acting as a spokesman for the FLDS Church. “What we’re finding is the parents haven’t done anything wrong, and the state can’t articulate as to any parent what they did.”
Ron Paul Wins 15 Percent in Oregon
Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul received 15 percent of 
yesterday’s primary vote in Oregon, a state in which he inspired both strong grassroots activism and online support but did not physically visit. “Oregonians and Americans are hungry for the leadership that will protect the traditions that made our country so great,” said campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. “Dr. Paul’s grassroots supporters delivered Dr. Paul’s second best GOP primary showing based on percentage points. Dr. Paul and the grassroots movement he has inspired are building a bright future for the Republican Party and the United States of America.”

Vote Ron Paul over McCain
Supporting McCain is the wasted vote, because he can’t beat Obama or Hillary, either.
In a current society of tight elections, highlited by Supreme Court decisions and “hanging chads,” McCain MUST have total GOP support to have any chance at all of winning in November. It’s not going to happen, because there are too many of us old “Reaganites” out here who know McCain for the closet Democrat that he is.
Ron Paul CAN beat the left in November. If given the nomination, even the MEDIA will have no choice but to give him equal time in debates that will clearly show the voters what needs to be done.
Ron Paul, still pushing, still has nearly $5 million cash, no debt
This article from Andrew Malcom is peppered with figures. Malcom has 
been highly opnionated as of late showing his true neocon colors. The comments section is what is worth the read here.
“Mr. Malcom, I have been impressed with your coverage of Dr. Paul despite the mainstream media viewing Pauls message as crazy. But it seem that you don’t see the freedom movement as realistic. Comments like “defying common political sense” leave me to wonder. Ron Pauls message is as old as our country. Hense the rEVOLution. A major point of his campaign is that these values are traditionaly Republican. One question, do you report on Ron Paul for ratings or because you actualy are inspired by the message that he supports.“

Ventura Slams Media Witch Hunt For Questioning 9/11
Former Governor Jesse Ventura slammed the media witch hunt that he was subjected to in the wake of questioning the official 9/11 story and admitted that he was shocked by the reaction to his comments about the demolition of WTC 7 and the twin towers, but the ex-wrestling and movie star reiterated and expanded upon his views on 9/11 during an appearance on The Alex Jones Show.
“How come we’re not allowed to ask any questions today?” asked Ventura, referring to the hostile corporate media reaction that was elicited in response to his last appearance on The Alex Jones Show when he questioned the official 9/11 story.
“I can’t believe how I simply asked some questions and the way you’re attacked….has our country really become that - that you’re not even allowed to publicly question the government,” added the former Governor, who labeled the response to his comments “eye opening”.
Ventura was attacked by both Bill O’Reilly and Hannity on Fox News as well as numerous other corporate media outlets last month after he questioned the government’s version of events behind the 2001 terror attacks.

Ron Paul: Obama Presidency Will Not Bring Change
Presidential candidate, Congressman and now New York Times Bestseller Ron Paul appeared on the Alex Jones show this week to discuss a plethora of issues including the lack of choice and opportunity for real change offered by the three remaining candidates.
Speaking of HIllary, McCain and Obama, the Congressman said:
“There really is no choice there, they all belong to the same group, they are beholden to the military industrial complex and the medical industry, the media industry, the whole works, the banking industry.The rhetoric is different but they’re all after power and there is not going to be a lot of difference.”
Paul, author of Revolution: A Manifesto, Agreed that Obama offers a false “revolution” in that he speaks constantly of change but at the heart of it represents a continuation of the same political system.
Are YOU One of the 8 Million Targeted for Roundup?
Daily KOS
Senior government officials have leaked detailed information about a database of 8 million Americans targeted for detention in case of a declared national emergency.
Called “Main Core,” the database’s origins date back to the 1980s when the Reagan administration began its “Continuity in Government” planning. The Bush administration stepped up the effort to the point that even John Ashcroft and his deputy, James Comey objected on constitional grounds, leading to the dramatic confrontation between Ashcroft and Comey on on side and Alberto Gonzales (then Bush’s lawyer) and Andrew Card on the other as Ashcroft lay critically ill in an intensive care unit.

Traders share a laugh in the crude oil options pit of the New York Mercantile Exchange, where the price of oil futures swept toward $130 a barrel.

These people don’t actually grow the food or drill the oil, they don’t build the farms or refineries, they don’t stock the grocery shelves or pump gas into your car … so how is it THEY are getting rich while the rest of us are being driven into poverty?)

Patriots to Ron Paul, Challenge John McCain
There are a ton of UNBOUND Delegates for McCain that can be swayed your way if they were to see you and he go at it head to head in a televised debate.

Ron Paul’s Best You Tube Moment
Here it is, the one Ron Paul You Tube that captures it all, Mike Huckabee’s innocence, Mitt Romney’s regret and John McCain’s cynicism. Here are all the dynamics that have made the Republican nomination process for this 2008 cycle a fascinating exercise in futility.
The cast: Of course there is Ron Paul himself, incredulous at the irrelevant, tactical conversations swirling around him when the grand strategic policies upon which those conversations are built is virtually ignored. It is as if we are all in Alice and Wonderland. He is speaking truth and no one else on the panel, including the media hosts – especially the media hosts – seem to get it.
