Should Mitt Romney Be Disqualified for Violating the Logan Act Twice?

When will the lawlessness end with the ruling class? If we wait until the government enforces the laws, do not hold your breath waiting for something to happen. It is up to us to uphold the laws of the land and correct these injustices. Mitt Romney meeting with foreign powers in secret violate the law of the land. The former Massachusetts governor meeting in secret with foreign governments in secret to talk about policy without the consent or knowledge of Congress is against the law.

This is not the first time Mitt Romney violated the Logan act. He did it before in July 2011. He violated this law before meeting with George Soros's Bretton Woods two conferences along with the Texas Lt. Governor David Dewhurst. He is running for US Senator in the Lone Star State. George Soros is another robber baron wanted in many countries for his fraud and deceit. Mr. Soros also attended this annual Bilderburger Conference. I wonder what laws he has broken or talked about breaking.

The truth is any candidate that attended the Bilderburger Meeting the violated the Logan Act should be disqualified. The two people Mitt Romney and David Dewhurst who attended a meeting with George Soros who is the same man who runs Media Matters that is not only the propaganda arm for the Obama White House, they are also going after people who are exposing the real power behind the puppet leaders and stooges. I wonder if Media Matters was behind Freedom Watch being yanked off the air because Judge Andrew Napolitano was getting real close to the truth of whom the real power brokers are.

This further shows establishment Republicans Mitt Romney and David Dewhurst are no different the Obama. The same special interest funds both sides. With Mitt Romney, attending the last Bilderburger group who also rubbed shoulders with George Soros at Bretton Woods two conferences last summer. This information needs to be taken to the republican convention so the delegates know we no longer can afford either Romney or Obama another four years. We cannot afford a stooge for the bankers occupying the White House.

Romney and Obama are no different. The only difference is their skin color. They both are for the individual mandate to buy Health insurance by the force of government. Romney singed the Health insurance Mandate in Massachusetts that Obama modeled his health care bill after. They both are for Gun control, Romney is 2004 signed the assault weapons ban Massachusetts. They both are for banker bailouts. Both are for the Patriot act, none is interested in abolishing the TSA or rolling back their intrusive power. Romney said he would sign the NDAA just as Obama did on New Years Eve. They both are for Carbon taxes. They both are not interested in cutting spending or shrinking the size of government. The both are for less personal freedom and bigger government being more intrusive in our lives.

What was whispered in the ears at the Bilderburger meeting must be shouted from the rooftops. Romney like Obama should be disqualified from running for office since they met in secret with foreign powers violating the Logan act. This knowledge must be taken to the convention in Tampa. Romney must be exposed for what he is. He is a sell out to foreign powers outside the US.

Mitt Romney is not a conservative, He certainly is not a libertarian or a Constitutionalists. He is a Benedict Arnold incarnate. He is no different then Obama. Let us call a spade a spade, now the jig is up, the rigged game is exposed, now we have the knowledge. Now it is time to steal these false victories away from the establishment, take action to make sure Romney does not get any more free rides to Tampa.

Lone Star Watchdog: Should Mitt Romney Be Disqualified for Violating the Logan Act Twice?

WWII Veterans and Honor Flight - A Morale-Boosting Reminder of the Greatness of Everyday Americans (Must Watch!)

When the WWII Memorial was finally completed in 2004, most WWII veterans were already in their eighties and were dying at the rate of 1,000 a day. Many of these members of the Greatest Generation didn't have the physical stamina or the money to fly to Washington, DC to see their Memorial...until Earl Morse, a physician assistant and Retired Air Force Captain crated the first "Honor Flight" in December of 2004.


Earl was working in a small VA clinic in Springfield, Ohio, about 30 minutes from Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, where he was a member of the aero club.

In December of 2004, Earl asked one of his World War II veteran patients if it would be all right if Earl personally flew him out to D.C., free of charge, to visit his memorial. Mr. Loy broke down and cried. He told Earl that at his age he would probably never get to see his memorial otherwise, and graciously accepted the offer.


Earl posed the same question to a second World War II veteran a week later. He too cried and enthusiastically accepted the trip. It didn’t take long for Earl to realize that there were many veterans who would have the same reaction. So he started asking for help from other pilots to make these dreams a reality. In January of 2005, Earl addressed about 150 members of the aero club during a safety meeting, outlining a volunteer program to fly veterans to their memorial. There were two major stipulations to his request. The first was that the veterans pay nothing. The entire aircraft rental ($600 to $1200 for the day) would have to be paid solely by the pilots. The second was that the pilots personally escort the veterans around D.C. for the entire day.

From these humble beginnings, Honor Flight has grown into a nationwide program that has flown over 81,000 veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam to see their memorials in Washington, D.C.

Honor Flight outgrew the Wright Patt Aero Club and now exclusively uses commercial aircraft. When these Honor Flights arrive at Reagan National Airport, gate attendants announce them, encouraging those waiting at the gate for the next flight to greet the veterans as they deplane.

Here's a firsthand account of the arrival of one such flight on May 23, 2012, from a traveler who happened to be in the terminal. He describes it as a spontaneous "flash mob" of support for these WWII heroes.

Five or six people looked like they were officially part of the welcoming committee, and the rest of the people in the secure section of the airport were regular old travelers going somewhere. Then I had a terrible thought. What if these veterans came off the plane and just those five or six individuals were there to greet them. I walked a gate over to help see the veterans out.

But – then it happened and frankly, I wasn’t expecting it. All throughout the terminal, people left their gates and gathered around gate 38. A few active military personnel in plain clothes approached the gate attendant and politely asked if they could join in the salute within the jet way as the heros first stepped off the plane. Every human being in the terminal stood at attention and faced the door.

Someone held up an old newspaper from 1945 that had a banner headline that said, “Nazis Quit!” And when I saw that newspaper, I realized that World War II wasn’t just a chapter in a history book. It was men and women who saw an evil like the world has never seen before and traveled across the world to meet that evil. And they defeated it.
[...]
The first soldier walked through the door. Old, frail and needing help walking. And every person I could see in the entire airport stood and applauded. No – maybe cheered is more like it.


But here’s the thing – the applause didn’t stop. For a full 20 minutes, as veteran by veteran stepped out of the jet way, the US Airways wing of Reagan National Airport thundered in appreciation. Travelers stepped out for the opportunity to shake their hand while others held back tears.

When you find yourself feeling discouraged at the cheating and corruption we face in our fight to restore the Constitution, watch this video and thank your god or gods that cheating and corruption are all we're facing at this point. These veterans faced tanks, bombs, grenades and bullets on our behalf, and on behalf of our Constitution.

We have it easy.

Ron Paul Predicts He Will Have 'As Many As 500' Delegates At The Republican Convention

He may have effectively abandoned his White House ambitions, but Ron Paul is still promising to make good on his promise to carry his quixotic presidential campaign all the way to the Republican National Convention. The Texas Congressman sent out a rare campaign update Wednesday night, informing supporters that he is still in the race, and stands to have "nearly 200 bound delegates" at the convention in Tampa. Paul adds that he also expects to have "several hundred" of what the campaign calls "stealthy delegates" — delegates who are bound to vote for Mitt Romney, but who are actually loyal to Paul. The email does not say what states the delegates will come from, and it is not clear how — or even if — Paul plans to leverage their presence at the convention. The Paul campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

But Paul does urge his delegates to "Be respectful," hammering home a message that his campaign has emphasized in the wake of flare-ups at several state conventions this spring.

Read the full email below:
I wanted you to get an update from me personally, since we have some great news!
Due to the smart planning of our campaign and the hard work and diligence of supporters like you, we stand to send nearly 200 bound delegates to the Republican National Convention in Tampa. This number shatters the predictions of the pundits and talking heads and shows the seriousness of our movement.
What's more, we will send several hundred additional supporters to Tampa who, while bound to Romney, believe in our ideas of liberty, constitutional government, and a common-sense foreign policy.
When it is all said and done, we will likely have as many as 500 supporters as delegates on the Convention floor. That is just over 20 percent!
And while this total is not enough to win the nomination, it puts us in a tremendous position to grow our movement and shape the future of the GOP!
I hope every one of you continues the fight we have advanced so well this year. I hope you will finish your local and state conventions, and, if you were selected as a national delegate, that you will head to Tampa in August to force the Republican Party to listen to the voice of liberty.
We have never had this kind of opportunity. There will be hundreds of your fellow supporters in Tampa who will be ready and willing to push the Republican Party back to its limited government, liberty roots.
There are many issues to fight for in Tampa. Also, candidates like Justin Amash, Kurt Bills, and Thomas Massie need your support as we move into the fall. Across the country, supporters of liberty have won local office and leadership positions in the GOP, and we need to keep working.
Our delegates’ presence must be felt both in Tampa and in years to come.
Stand up for what we believe in. Be respectful. And let the establishment know that we are the future of the Party and of the country.
Our Revolution is just getting started. You'll be hearing plenty from me as we approach Tampa and the fall elections. You'll also be hearing of important developments on Audit the Fed and Campaign for Liberty.
I hope you'll continue to stand with me as we go forward. Our Revolution could not have come this far without you.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul

Jack Hunter sums it up quite good.

Why Ron Paul conceding he won't be president and Rand Paul supporting the presumptive GOP nominee are but trivial anecdotes to the obvious and ongoing success of the most transformative political movement of our time: The rEVOLution.



Ron Paul is Becoming Something More Important Than President | Peace . Gold . Liberty | Ron Paul 2012

So there is no confusion

I will REFUSE to Vote for RMONEY A.K.A. Mittens A.K.A. Romney

I will only vote Ron Paul or no vote at all

1. The G.O.P. needs to stop cheating; right now it is just as bad as the Liberals ... think I am kidding .. go back and check the earlier posts

2. We have been firing RINO's in the House; Senate and Govenors like Charlie Christ

3. As we Fire RINO's the G.O.P. pushes .. and I mean PUSHES a Mega RINO into the POTUS slot
- Wrong Answer Slim Pickens ... really bad answer

4. As the Democrats shifted to the Far Left the Republican party is following them so they are now left of Center and look more like a party of Progressives
- Wrong Answer

5. Again... If I cannot write his name in I will not vote and if enough does the same it will effect local; County; State; House and Senate Seats as well

6. I am tired of a Group of Individuals "A Civilian Group" (The G.O.P.) that cheats while going Rogue decide who will be POTUS; rather than people choosing who they wish to be President

7. If you have to cheat to win in the Primarys I guess I have to get used to the POTUS cheating / Lying / Stealing as POTUS as well ... to be clear I refuse to lower my standard for POTUS because the Good Ole Boy System says I should

8. No Integrety / No Character from Romney = another Obama no matter who wins

9. Either way I am done ... I will not support a cheater EVER no matter who he / she is or how bad the other flake is

10. Its Time to go third party to fight the corruption on the Right and the Left

Is Rand Paul Supporting Romney to Save His Dad's Life?

June 08, 2012 07:30 AM EDT (Updated: June 08, 2012 09:00 AM EDT)

Yesterday on Hannity, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced his endorsement of Mitt Romney for President of the Untied States. Just 24 hours earlier, his father, Ron Paul, candidate for the GOP nomination, finally sent out an email acknowledging that he didn't have enough delegates to win the nomination.

Master of conspiracy theories, Alex Jones, said that he believes there was a 'direct threat' on the life of Ron Paul by the Federal Reserve, and in a YouTube video (below), he claims it was 'Bilderberg' who wanted Paul dead. Jones led large protests at the Bilderberg Group meeting held last weekend in Virginia. In the video, he speaks with Jim Tucker about the threats, suggesting that Rand Paul expressed no interest in supporting Romney until the threats were issued and that was the reason for his 'sudden' turnaround.



Mitt Romney seemed pleased with the endorsement and issued a press release calling Rand Paul a "leading voice in the effort to scale back the size and reach of government and promote liberty." He added, "I am grateful for Sen. Paul's support and look forward to working with him to get America back on the right track." After a recent private meeting, it has been rumored that Sen. Paul may be pegged as Romney's running mate, or even for a cabinet position. Both rumors are much more likely the reason behind Paul's 'sudden' support of Romney.

Guest Post: The Trouble with Rand Paul

• Neocons

Submitted by John Aziz of Azizonomics,

Rand Paul just endorsed a man who is deeply hostile to human liberty.

Perhaps that’s Rand’s idea of playing politics? Come to the table, strike a deal, get what you can. Trouble is, it’s tough striking a good deal when the guy on the other side of the table believes that the government should be allowed to claim — without having to produce any evidence whatsoever — that certain people are terrorists, and therefore should be detained indefinitely without any kind of due process.
That’s textbook tyranny.

Yes, I would have [signed the NDAA]. And I do believe that it is appropriate to have in our nation the capacity to detain people who are threats to this country, who are members of al Qaeda. Look, you have every right in this country to protest and to express your views on a wide range of issues but you don’t have a right to join a group that has killed Americans, and has declared war against America. That’s treason. In this country we have a right to take those people and put them in jail. If I were president I would not abuse this power. But people who join al Qaeda are not entitled to rights of due process under our normal legal code. They are entitled instead to be treated as enemy combatants.

Mitt Romney

Except, if the government had any evidence they were really members of al-Qaeda and engaged in a war against America they could be charged with offenses under current laws and tried in front of a jury of their peers. As was proven when Judge Katherine Forrest struck down the indefinite detention provision of the NDAA as unconstitutional, the real detention targets are people like the ones who brought the case — writers, investigative journalist and whistleblowers: people like Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Jennifer Bolen, and Birgitta Jonsdottir.

Rand Paul might have done some good work trying to filibuster the Patriot Act, but endorsing Mitt Romney goes beyond the pale. The NDAA is Romney’s most egregious transgression against liberty, but not far behind are his desire to start a war against Iran, to increase military spending, to start a trade war with China and his belief that corporations are people.

I know I will never agree with any politician on every single dimension of every single issue, and that to some extent politics will always involve compromise. Certainly, I disagree with Ron Paul on some issues. But Mitt Romney’s stances on these issues seem much, much, much closer to Barack Obama than they do to Ron Paul. In fact, he might as well have endorsed Obama for President.

And the Ron Paul supporters are noticing: Rand has probably burnt most bridges to his Father’s supporters now. His Facebook page has seen a huge outpouring of fury:

Just lost a lot of faith in a man I otherwise adored.

You suck Rand! Traitor!

That’s why this country is doomed! Even the person you trust is a sell-out. I’m done with politics, people deserve what they get. Let the country run itself to the ground, and still people will not understand what freedom and self-responsibility is about. People want big gov’t, big brother every step of the way. Well, they got it. The rest of us, might as well try to move to another country or find an island and move there.

I knew I’d never vote for Mitt… Now I know I’ll never vote for Rand.

He has fully sold out to the bankers

Endorsing Romney is tantamount to an utter sell-out of conservative principles.

Did George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison try to compromise with King George? Or — when it became obvious that they were facing tyranny — did they stand up for the principles of liberty?

I have always been uncomfortable with the children of politicians becoming politicians. Every anointed child feels like a step away from meritocracy. Dynasties are dangerous, because the dynasty itself comes to be more important than the qualities of the politicians. Who would Rand Paul be if he wasn’t Ron Paul’s son? Just another neocon. Neocons often have a few “unfashionable” libertarian or constitutionalist sympathies; look at Charles Krauthammer. But — unlike Ron Paul — the neocon never has the spine to do much about their libertarian or constitutionalist sympathies. They just ride on the establishment steamroller, into foreign occupations, empire building, corporate welfare, and banking bailouts. Into Iraq, and soon into Iran.

Rand Paul just got on the steamroller.

File this under signs the Ron Paul campaign is really, truly over: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul threw his support tonight to Mitt Romney.

The endorsement came in an appearance on “Hannity,” a little less than 24 hours after the elder Paul acknowledged in an email that his delegate total is “not enough to win the nomination.”

Romney embraced the endorsement in a press release, calling Rand Paul a “leading voice in the effort to scale back the size and reach of government and promote liberty.”

“Over the past three and half years, President Obama has made government more and more of a presence in our lives, and Americans can’t afford four more years of the same failed policies,” Romney said. “As president, I will reform the federal government and make it smaller, simpler, and smarter. I am grateful for Sen. Paul’s support and look forward to working with him to get America back on the right track.”

Now the question is: how many Pauls will speak at the Republican National Convention?
