Things That Go Bang (False Flag Mix)

[excepts from Ron Paul's speech to U.S. Congress on the passage of Bill 1867 ( Sections 1034, 1031 ) May 25, 2011]

The fate of the American Republic is now sealed.

The last nail is being driven into the coffin of the American Republic. Yet, Congress remains in total denial as our liberties are rapidly fading before our eyes. The process is propelled by unwarranted fear and ignorance as to the true meaning of liberty. It is driven by economic myths, fallacies and irrational good intentions. The rule of law is constantly rejected and authoritarian answers are offered as panaceas for all our problems. 
Who would have ever thought that the current generation and Congress would stand idly by and watch such a rapid disintegration of the American Republic?

Our Presidents can now, on their own: 
Order assassinations, including American citizens, 
Operate secret military tribunals, 
Engage in torture, 
Enforce indefinite imprisonments without due process, 
Order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment ... 

...Our Presidents can now Wage war at will, treat all Americans as suspected terrorists at airports with TSA groping and nude x-raying, 
and the Federal Reserve accommodates by codifying the funds needed and not paid for by taxation and borrowing, permitting runaway spending, endless debt, and special interest bail-outs. 

The fate of the American Republic is now sealed.

Congress is planning to massively increase the war power of the President.
Congress, with bipartisan support, obsesses on how to expand the unconstitutional war power... the President already holds... 
The current proposal would allow a President to pursue war any time, any place, for any reason, without Congressional approval... 

Our Presidents can now, on their own: 
Order assassinations, including American citizens, 
Operate secret military tribunals, 
Engage in torture, 
Enforce indefinite imprisonments without due process, 
Order searches and seizures without proper warrants, gutting the 4th Amendment ... 

The fate of the American Republic is now sealed.

Many believe this would even permit military activity against American suspects here at home.

The 3 major reasons for our Constitutional Convention were to: 
1. Guarantee free trade and travel among the states. 
2. Make gold and silver legal tender and abolish paper money. 
3. Strictly limit the Executive Branch’s authority to pursue war without Congressional approval. 

But today: 
1. Federal Reserve notes are legal tender, gold and silver are illegal. 
2. The Interstate Commerce Clause is used to regulate all commerce at the expense of free trade among the states. 
3. And now the final nail is placed in the coffin of Congressional responsibility for the war power, delivering this power completely to the President—a sharp and huge blow to the concept of our Republic. 

In my view, it appears that the fate of the American Republic is now sealed—unless these recent trends are quickly reversed. The saddest part of this tragedy is that all these horrible changes are being done in the name of patriotism and protecting freedom. They are justified by good intentions while believing the sacrifice of liberty is required for our safety. Nothing could be further from the truth. 

The fate of the American Republic is now sealed.

Without this understanding our endless, unnamed, and undeclared wars will continue and our wonderful experiment with liberty will end.
