28, 2008 Since Congress is so little in the news this week, lets start with them, then move on to some other areas that haven’t had much coverage recently. Sadly, once more the 2008 presidential election is taking up way too much band width, but we have a lot of great news on self-defense this week. Baboons: The only news about our beloved monkeys in Congress this week: FISA will most likely be the latest area in which the baboons will demonstrate that they aren’t really of the family “Cordata” – they have no spines.

Time To Break Out The Torches And Pitchforks! In an act of absolute disdain for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, U. S. Solicitor General Paul Clement, in a friend of the Court brief filed with the U. S. Supreme Court in the District of Columbia firearms case, claims the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights are subject to "reasonable regulation" by the federal government. According to Clement and the Bush Justice Department, and I use the word "Justice" reluctantly, all federal limits on guns should be upheld because: "Nothing in the 2nd Amendment, properly understood, calls for invalidation of the numerous federal laws regulating firearms."

You Do the Math? There are two things missing from the "ST. PETERSBURG TIMES FL POLL" reported during the Republican Candidate's Florida debate last night (Jan. 24, 2008): Ron Paul - - - and 22% of the vote.

Why
America Needs To Bring Back Jury Nullification Jurors' rights are the most forgotten rights of all. Indeed, from before the Revolution up through the Civil War, jurors had the power to judge not only the facts of a case but also the law pertaining to that particular case. If a juror thought the law under which the defendant was being tried was unconstitutional, unjust, immoral or just plain stupid, that juror could vote to acquit and the defendant would walk. The best example of jury nullification at work can be found with regard to the Fugitive Slave Laws of the 1850s. If juror Smith opposed these laws, he could, on this basis alone, vote to acquit defendant Jones. As a result, the Fugitive Slave Laws became unenforceable. (Read the rest here)
The
1/31 Nuke: Proof for Ron Paul Many citizens who have read my recent columns about false flag attempts in the East Texas oil patch have urged me to contact Congressman Paul with details. A fair number of them believe that it was the Bush administration's design on his own Texas Congressional District 14 that prompted his presidential bid. While many of the participants in our Internet intelligence alert to Texas City have been in touch with Dr. Paul's office, they report no feedback. Accordingly, I invite my pubishers, editors and readers to join me in presenting my collected Texas City columns as a report to Dr. Paul. In future columns, I will report the results of our efforts to present this most alarming information to the single person in America most concerned with it: Congressman Ron Paul, who represents Texas City and the surrounding area.

Consider
Their Actions Afterwards "Inquiring minds want to know!" is the way one questionable tabloid justifies its encroachment into the personal foibles of the rich and famous; but there is also an adage that offers, "Ignorance is bliss." To be sure, inquiry is indeed a more aggressive outcropping of human curiosity. And both aforementioned attributes of those prone to inquiry can and do sometimes result in disquieting realizations. The honesty, depth and moral relevance of inquiry defines the true nature of the intellectual level of the inquisitor.
Sadly, more often than not, I encounter individuals who immediately recognize the disquieting nature of a perceived response when considering a poignant question, and they immediately withdraw from the conversation in obvious hopes of dodging and avoiding both the answer and its relevancy to the truth. The truth can be ugly, and it can be painful; and worse, it can serve to absolutely and totally destroy comfort zone myths that actually serve to protect one's peace of mind. It is this that satisfies the postulate, "Ignorance is bliss! (Read the rest here)
The Future of Freedom Foundation Pathetic
Arguments for Foreign Intervention Republican presidential contender Ron Paul certainly deserves credit for putting the foreign policy of noninterventionism into the public debate. It’s about time. For decades U.S. presidents have sought to manage the world in behalf of what they call “American interests,” and all it has brought is death, mayhem, anti-Americanism, and a price tag that would blow the average citizen’s mind if he fully grasped it. Yes, the time for this debate is long overdue. Unfortunately, the quality of the debate on the other side is pathetic. Proponents of America-as-world-policeman think they can get away with sneers and slogans — and they may be right. The media stars who seem so incredulous and amused when interviewing a noninterventionist such as Representative Paul are like putty in the hands of American imperialists such as John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards.

Confront Climate Change A forthcoming report by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), of which I am the editor, may provide needed balance. An independent organization, not sponsored by the United Nations, national governments, or industry, NIPCC—which includes many IPCC authors and expert reviewers—was created to provide a second opinion on the IPCC’s official findings, much as a physician’s diagnosis may warrant a second opinion. Drawing on peer-reviewed publications in major scientific journals, NIPCC examined the data used in IPCC’s May 2007 climate-change assessment, as well as research ignored in the IPCC report or published subsequent to its release. NIPCC concludes that “evidence” to support public hysteria about human-caused greenhouse warming does not hold up to scrutiny. Among the findings, expected to be published early this spring: (Read the rest here)
From The Ludwig von Mises Institute The
Revolution Was There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom. (1938) But the revolutionary historian will go much further. Writing at some distance in time he will be much less impressed by the fact that it was peacefully accomplished than by the marvelous technique of bringing it to pass not only within the form but within the word, so that people were all the while fixed in the delusion that they were talking about the same things because they were using the same words. Opposite and violently hostile ideas were represented by the same word signs. This was the American people's first experience with dialectic according to Marx and Lenin. Until it was too late, few understood one like Julius C. Smith, of the American Bar Association, saying,

"Back when the Democrats took control of congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi commenced pursuit of her celebrated pledge of spending her first one hundred hours in office increasing the minimum wage, which ignores libertarian warnings that fewer unskilled laborers will be hired as a result, slashing interest rates on student loans so more young future naive liberals can major in Post-Modern Marxist Channeling, and passing a new ethics package designed to prevent Republicans from out-corrupting Democrats.
