Ron Paul Wins/Romney Should Be Ashamed! FRAUD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGVxmXBy9jQ
THE FRAUD IS SO OBVIOUS AND BLATANT! IT IS NATION WIDE!
Romney should be embarrassed and ashamed that it takes this in order to "win".
Ron Paul is the obvious choice!
The media, the elite and the current government are liers and frauds and should be prosecuted for treason!
Oh yeah, lie, cheat, and steal, but only if you have money and power!
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012!

With Eye On Future, Billionaire Investor Bets On Paul

PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, who has donated more than $2.5 million to a superPAC backing GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, speaks at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., in October.
May 19, 2012
In the race for the Republican presidential nomination, only one candidate remains to challenge presumptive nominee Mitt Romney: Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
Even Paul has said he will no longer campaign in states that have yet to hold their primaries. And Paul has always been considered a long shot to win. But that hasn't deterred many of his hard-core supporters, including the Silicon Valley billionaire who has bankrolled the superPAC backing Paul.
Peter Thiel is a venture capitalist, entrepreneur and co-founder of PayPal. He hit the jackpot again when he gave Mark Zuckerberg the money to launch Facebook.
Thiel's half-million dollar Facebook investment is now worth more than $1 billion. His success and his smarts have made him a virtual rock star in Silicon Valley.
A Contrarian View
On a recent day at Stanford University, the lecture hall is full long before Thiel saunters in — light blue business suit, open collar, a Diet Coke in his hand, his eyes shifting nervously as he scans the crowd of mostly adoring undergraduates. He's come to argue a contrarian view: that technological progress is decelerating.
"Whether we look at transportation, energy, commodity production, food production, agro-tech, nanotechnology — that with the exception of computers, we've had tremendous slowdown," he says.
Thiel acknowledges that computers are getting faster, cheaper and better. But he says that's the virtual world of bits and bytes. In the real world of stuff, Thiel insists, there's been a slowdown.
"I believe we are in a world where innovation in stuff was outlawed. It was basically outlawed in the last 40 years — part of it was environmentalism, part of it was risk aversion," he says. "And all the engineering disciplines that had to do with stuff have basically been outlawed one by one."
In other words, he says government regulation stifles innovation and, without innovation, there is no economic growth.
Encouraging Entrepreneurs
In technology circles, Thiel's libertarian views are well known.
As a law student in the 1980s, Thiel co-founded the conservative Stanford Review, and he co-wrote a book critical of political correctness and multiculturalism on that campus.
In more recent years, he's argued that higher education is failing America and that some of the brightest students are probably better off not going to college at all.
That's why he created the 20 Under 20 Thiel Fellowships — a program that gives promising young entrepreneurs $100,000 to skip college for two years and create their own business, as he explained on All Things Considered last year.
"I think anything that requires real global breakthroughs requires a degree of intensity and sustained effort that cannot be done part time, so it's something you have to do around the clock, and that doesn't compute with our existing educational system," Thiel said. "Had the people who started Facebook decided to stay at Harvard, they would not have been able to build the company, and by the time they graduated in 2006, that window probably would have come and gone."
Betting On The Future
As a conservative, Thiel has donated money to a variety of Republican lawmakers. He's also Christian and gay, and he's a major donor to GOProud, a gay conservative group based in Washington, D.C.
Thiel's contribution of more than $2.5 million to the Endorse Liberty superPAC, which supports Paul, makes him the fund's largest donor — in spite of the fact that the two men have never met or communicated in any way.
Thiel declined to comment for this report. But his spokesman, Jim O'Neill, says Thiel believes Paul is the best candidate to beat President Obama.
"There's a great opportunity to reach out to people who are concerned about civil liberties on the left, people who are concerned about deficits in the middle, people who are concerned about taxation on the right, people who are opposed to bailouts and bubbles," O'Neill says. "And so I think Paul would do really well against Obama."
If that sounds like a long shot, keep this in mind: That's exactly what Thiel invests in. He's given money to a variety of long-term projects, from anti-aging research to "seasteading" — an effort to build communities on platforms in international waters. And he has said his support for Paul is the best bet for now to encourage a libertarian movement.

Barack Obama Is The First United Nations President
Saman Mohammadi
Prisonplanet.com
May 19, 2012
“In our globalist existence, the authority for the US to initiate hostilities against another country comes from the UN, declared Obama and Panetta. If the executive branch can persuade or bribe the UN to give a war OK, Congress is no longer relevant.” – Paul Craig Roberts, “Are Americans Catching On, Waking Up, Unplugging?” President Barack Obama has continued the secret policy of destroying the sovereignty and wealth of the United States to the benefit of the private transnational interests who control the United Nations, the CIA, Wall Street, and the global banking system.
Numerous American presidents, both Republican and Democrat, are on board with this treasonous political agenda.
Obama is not an “American” president; he is a United Nations president.
The criminal international banksters and secret societies behind the creation of the United Nations, and the Barack Obama icon, use fraud, usury, debt, terror, deception, propaganda, false flags, and war to get what they want out of countries. They treat all countries like third world colonies, including America. The people are plundered and destroyed, while the criminal elite are protected.
The election of Obama represents a massive constitutional crisis in America because he was born in Kenya, and is thus illegally holding the office of the presidency. He is the presidential equivalent of an illegal alien. It is hard to believe this is true because it is pretty wild. But no intellectually honest person can ignore the evidence and defend Obama’s claim that he was born in America. It is illogical to deny the facts and stick to illusions.
The significance of Obama’s true birthplace is monumental. The entire American experiment is being put into question. The U.S. Constitution has been thrown out.
America is fully controlled by genocidal war criminals who teach young and impressionable soldiers that wiping out Islam and using nukes on Middle Eastern cities is a military solution to end the mythic “clash of civilizations,” between the West and Islam.
Obama, far from being a secret Muslim, is actually a secret CIA agent who likes the idea of attacking Iran as much as any Neocon, Israeli, and fascist. Obama is not a peacemaker or a saint. Like the mad king of Israel, Obama is a mad psychopath who lies for a living. He worships the god of war because only war can unleash the forces of violent change and political transformation.
Obama and his masters are secretly working to cause the destruction of America, along with Israel, Iran, and other nations in the Middle East. Obama does not desire peace with Iran, but an epic and total war that will culminate in the establishment of a world authoritarian state with U.S. military power to back it up.
In September 2009, Obama became, “the first-ever U.S. president to chair the United Nations’ 15-member Security Council,” (Source: NBC Chicago). That was only the beginning. Obama is probably being primed to be the first United Nations president, since he is obviously not a legitimate and legal American president.
The fraudulent elections of Bush and Obama signaled the destruction of America.
Bush’s elections were fraudulent because they were stolen, and Obama’s election was fraudulent because he was born in Kenya, not America.
Both the American presidency and the Congress have been destroyed. These institutions are dead. The plan of the globalist fascists is to completely destroy America as an independent political unit with its own national constitution and destiny.
The 1913 Federal Reserve Act destroyed America’s financial independence, so the subversion and destruction of America from within has been a century-long effort by the Anglo-American oligarchy.
Secrecy, totalitarian deception, and terrorism are their three main weapons. The treasonous American media has been their biggest ally in their silent war on the American Constitution and the American people.
Infowars.com points out that Obama was a British subject at the time of his birth. I guess this is the British Empire’s way of getting back at the rebellious American people for defeating the British army in the 18th century and creating a free and independent government.
But Obama is more than a joke. Obama is like a political virus who is attacking the U.S. national nervous system and destabilizing the natural defenses of the body politic. Obama kills silently, in the night, when everybody is asleep and dreaming.
Since he came into office, Obama has done nothing to better the lives of the American people and improve the American nation. Even if he wanted to help the American people and make America better, he would be stopped by his masters because, as Alex Jones says in this video, he is compromised.
Obama is blackmailable from head to toe. The enemies of America, both foreign (Israel) and domestic (Wall Street banksters, criminal multinational corporations, political opponents), love the fact that Obama is in the White House.
The mythic fairytale about the Osama Bin Laden killing was intended to make the public believe that Obama is in charge and he is a great war leader. But Obama takes orders, he doesn’t give them. There would be no difference if a slave or a robot was in the White House instead of Obama. Obama is worse than a robot and a slave. He is a psychopathic liar and killer who loves death and destruction.

Paul supporters nearly sweep all national delegate slots

Supporters of Texas Congressman Ron Paul have picked up all but five of the elected Minnesota delegate slots to the national Republican convention.
In a stark rejection of presumed nominee Mitt Romney, Republicans at their state convention picked 12 Paul supporters for 13 spots. Earlier, Paul backers claimed 20 of 24 delegates selected at local conventions.
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, whose name appeared on a Romney slate Saturday, did not initially get enough votes to join the Republicans going to Tampa. She only avoided a run-off election when a Paul supporter ceded to her.
The victory is the result of years of quiet organizing that has transformed the party.
Although the Paul backers say they want him represented in Tampa, with hopes to win Paul a speaking slot, they said they would work for Romney's election should he become the nominee.

The MSM Delegate Count for Romney. May 22nd primaries in Kentucky & Arkansas.
Submitted by ArsenalGunners11 on Sun, 05/20/2012 - 14:57
Daily Paul Liberty Forum
Just wanted to point out that back at some point in early April, I had taken the number of delegates that the MSM was touting Romney as having.
I believe at the time, that it figured out, that if Romney won every State Convention & Primary along the way, that after Tuesday, May 22nd, Romney could have over 1,144 delegates.
Sure enough: Here is CNN's version:
2012 Republican Scorecard - Primaries - 2012 Election Center - Elections & Politics from CNN.com
2012 Primary Schedule « 2012 Election Central
961 + 81 = 1,042 (Will most likely be their tally on Tuesday after Kentucky & Arkansas.) I have to say that I am now even happier to know that Ron Paul did campaign in Texas & California. I know... I know... State Conventions are usually where it's at for delegates, but wouldn't it be something for Ron Paul to win Texas & California primaries too?
So, even to the MSM now, things appear to have changed a bit. Of course, this is just CNN's version. The beautiful thing is that NOBODY knows still.
Please note: I KNOW that he does not have 1,144, Romney himself probably knows that he doesn't have 1,144, but I say this to just be prepared for the MSM Delegate count after Tuesday. I believe it will get very interesting to see how the MSM spins their delegate count, and what they'll have to say in regards to Ron Paul still being in the race.

The Facts About Bain And KB Toys, Much Worse Than ‘Vulture’ Capitalism
Posted on February 13, 2012 by Gekko
http://www.moneytrendsresearch.com/w...c9f5f6df11.jpg There is good private equity and there is bad private equity firms.
My company at the time tried to find a partner in the 1990s and I was impressed by some of the people we talked with. They look at 100 companies pare it down to 10 and recommend one.
Here are the facts about KB Toys.
1. At the time it was purchased KB Toys was an industry leader, it was not in trouble. KB Toys -- Company History
In 1999, KBkids.com received top points from an e-commerce market research firm, the Gomez Advisors, in the categories of customer confidence, overall cost, and bargain shopping. Softletter named the site one of the ‘Ten Best Online Software Stores of 1999′ in its October 15th issue. Even the Wall Street Journal dubbed the site the ‘best overall’ online toy retailer. In a little more than four months online, KBkids.com increased its business more than 400 percent and twice ranked among the five biggest gainers on the NextCard eCommerce Movers index. It seemed nothing could stop KB Toys from challenging its rivals in the toy industry. Operating profit for 1999 was up 51 percent from 1998. The company, seeking to capitalize on its growth, decided to hold an initial public offering in the spring of 2000, then postponed trading due to unfavorable market conditions. Notwithstanding this delay, KB was more focused than ever on fine-tuning its position in the very fashion-forward toy industry. With relatively small stores and a knack for innovation and creativity in marketing, KB was ready as ever to make quick adjustments to changing customer and merchandise trends.
2. KB Toys was a company that made money and exercised social responsibility
After a 13 year old boy in NYC was shot and killed while holding a realistic toy gun (not from KB Toys) KB Toys destroyed 300,000 toys in inventory and never again carried realistic toy guns. They also gave toys for guns.
The company also participated in New York’s ‘Goods for Guns’ program, which offered gift certificates to people who surrendered real firearms. Although Ann Iverson left as chairman in 1994, her policy of not selling look-alike guns was continued by her successor, Alan Fine, who had been senior vice-president before becoming president and CEO.
3. Bain Capital ‘purchased’ KB for the respectable price of $ 305 million dollars on December 8, 2000. KB Toys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4. Bain Capital only offered $ 18 million in cash, the rest was leaveraged debt put on the company.
5. “Sixteen months after the buyout, Bain Capital paid itself $85 million in dividends in early 2002.”
6. “January 14, 2004, K·B Toys filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed 365 stores.”
7. Three years later the rest of the 156 stores were closed down.
But there is a little more to the story. KB Stores had already gone through a tough restructuring in 1996. At that time a private equity bought the company, closed unprofitable stores, and increased profits.
So here is the objective reality of what Bain did.
Bain engineered a private equity purchase of a profitable company that had already gone through ‘creative destruction’ eliminating unprofitable legacy operations and saddled the company with hundreds of millions of dollars of debt. The company was not just profitable but an example of the kind of companies that demonstrate a wider social conscious for its customers and the larger community. Sixteen months after purchasing the company with only 6% cash of the value Bain takes out dividends at over 400% of their investment.
Significantly this was done during the time of the attacks on 9/11 when the country as a whole was undergoing a hightened sense of patriotism, sacrifice and social duty. Less than 2 years after saddling KB Toys with massive debt and taking out astronomical dividends, K-B Toys faces Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closes 354 previously profitable stores.
Vultures take meat that is already dead and complete the final loop in the cycle of life.
Bain took a company that had already been restructured and was surging in profits and cash. There was never any interest by Bain to restructure KB Toys, that had already been done.
Bain purchased KB Toys simply to raid its cash, and they did so during a time when the rest of the country was undergoing a period of reviewing the founding principles of the country.
To call what Bain did to KB Toys as ‘Vulture’ Capitalism is an insult to Vultures.
They were pirates and this is why there is so much interest to change the subject and not let the real facts of Bain Capital come to the surface during the Republican Primary.
