Obama was accused by two men of sexual harassment while he was the president of Harvard Law Review journal according to the Kansas Citian who have confirmed it.

The two men involved made official complaints about inappropriate behaviour made towards them by Obama which made them uncomfortable and angry.

The Kasas Citian also say that the two men received five figure payouts in compensation which also stops them from going public with the information about the incidents.

There has been repeated rejection from the Obama administration to confirm or deny the allegations however White House spokesman Jay Carney has said he is “vaguely familiar” with the case.

The Citian have said they have, “confirmed the identities of the two male journal editors who complained about Obama” However because of the settlement agreement and for, “privacy concerns, is not publishing their names.”

Other sources have also confirmed the incidents and gave their own account of what happened which appears to match what the two men also claim.

Ron Paul Re-Strategizes, Establishment Continues To Fight Him

Ron Paul polls better against President Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup than establishment-choice moderate Mitt Romney.

“Mayhem,” “ruckus” and “insanity” are all words that are being used in the most recent news reports about Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul’s performance last weekend.

In Oklahoma, Paul supporters and those of Mitt Romney reportedly came to blows over the nominating process, necessitating police intervention.

Paul supporters, who numbered about 600 and made up about 40 percent of the convention, used various parliamentary procedures to contest rules. The Paul side fell short of electing their slate of delegates amid allegations of foul play.

In Arizona, where Mitt’s son Josh Romney was booed for pushing his father’s approved slate, the convention began relatively peacefully, but deteriorated once Romney supporters realized how many Paul backers were in attendance.

Policymic reports: “First, the convention’s leaders attempted to confuse voters by yo-yoing them back and forth between convention halls and the main floor. In that time, several cases of ballot stuffing were reported, as well as physical assaults on two Ron Paul delegates; but it was not enough.”

When it became evident that Paul was garnering impressive delegate support, the party chair reportedly shut down the convention.

The Paul campaign announced yesterday that it would no longer focus resources on campaign in States that have yet to hold primary votes, but would continue to focus on groundwork to grab delegates throughout the country.

It still remains unclear what power Paul will have at the Republican National Convention, but the option remains that his supporters will secure enough delegate seats to put him in a role of prominence.

A Rasmussen poll last week showed that Paul polls better against President Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup than establishment-choice moderate Romney. Paul edges out Obama by 1 percentage point, 44 to 43 percent. The survey also noted that in a hypothetical 2012 head-to-head, Obama and Romney are tied at 45 percent.

Ron Paul supporters plan to challenge Oklahoma Republican state convention results

Oklahoma's Republican Party chairman said last weekend's state convention results should stand. Backers of GOP presidential contender Ron Paul said the results of a meeting held afterward should count instead.

Backers of GOP presidential contender Ron Paul will appeal the results of last weekend's state Republican convention, saying a session held afterward in which supporters of the Texas congressman swept all delegate spots to the national convention should count, a campaign official said Monday.


“We contend that the convention held inside was run improperly, particularly the election of national delegates and alternates,” said Lukus Collins, grass roots organizer for Paul's campaign in Oklahoma. “We also believe that the meeting was adjourned improperly so we simply continued the convention outdoors and we contend that the decisions made during that time are proper and legal and conform more properly to state party rules. We're going to do what we can to follow the process and appeal at the chain of command.”

Matt Pinnell, chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, said results of Saturday's daylong convention will stand unless the Republican National Committee should rule otherwise.

“We had a majority on every vote that was made there on Saturday,” Pinnell said.

Most of the approximately 1,400 delegates at Saturday's convention approved by voice vote a slate of 25 delegates and 25 alternates selected by the party's executive committee.

The Paul supporters submitted their own slate of delegates and alternates, but failed to get enough votes to amend convention rules to let delegates vote on both slates. A paper ballot vote showed that 60 percent of the delegates supported the state party's slate.

Marc Nuttle, of Norman, elected by the delegates as convention chairman, allowed for a voice vote of the national delegates because it was the only slate to be considered. Had the vote failed, national delegates would have been elected individually.

Paul supporters complained, saying the slate should have been decided by a roll-call vote, in which delegates would vote by county and report their tallies to convention officials. Nuttle denied their request; Paul supporters appealed and a vote taken by those standing either to approve or reject Nuttle's decision showed a majority supported his ruling.

“Whether we had done a roll-call vote or not, it would not have changed the outcome,” Pinnell said.

Parking lot meeting

Paul backers used Nuttle's ruling as a basis for contending the national delegates were elected improperly. And when they felt the convention adjourned without getting approval of two-thirds of the delegates, they claimed they had the ability to continue the proceedings. They met outside the Embassy Suites Hotel in Norman and elected their slate of Paul backers as delegates to the national convention in August in Tampa, Fla. Collins said nearly 400 attended the gathering.

“I don't think they had a quorum of delegates in the parking lot,” Pinnell said. “Their delegates are free to obviously convene wherever they want but our convention was adjourned. We had a firm timeline; it was stated on the agenda that we would have to be out of the hotel by 5 p.m. There was no question about that.”

The daylong convention was hindered by many disagreements over party rules and at least one physical altercation occurred between opposing supporters.

Backers of Paul also booed Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a onetime 2012 GOP presidential contender, when both encouraged the delegates to support the presumed Republican Party presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Paul supporters, who numbered about 600 and made up about 40 percent of the convention, used various parliamentary procedures to contest rules.

Convention officials had difficulty determining credentials of the delegates. When delegates cast their votes, 83 more voted then were listed as approved delegates. The discrepancies weren't cleared up until about 3 p.m., or two hours before the convention was scheduled to adjourn.

“I wish it was cleaner,” Pinnell said. “I wish it wasn't as messy as it was.”

Collins said Paul supporters won nine of the 15 congressional district national delegate slots. It appears three are committed to Romney but the other six could vote for Paul.

If the evening gathering's results would be ruled official, then Paul would have 24 of the state's 43 delegates. “We've got to move forward,” Pinnell said. “There's no doubt about it my biggest job as chairman moving forward is helping heal this process what happened on Saturday and trying to unite as many people behind our nominee as possible.”

Paul A Drockton M.A.
Drocton Report: Euro Banksters Bleed Their Beast



Not satisfied with establishing their Central Banks throughout Europe, and the resultant feeding frenzy, the Euro-banksters went regional. The result was one currency that paid them interest, instead of multiple ones. Napoleon could only dream about a United Europe voluntarily filling his coffers with tribute, now a Bankster reality. The consolidation brought with it new forms of paternalism and debauchery. Lest the European citizenry groan under their new yoke, broad restrictions were placed on free speech and the press.

Yet, parasites will be parasites and their massive blood-letting looks like it might prove fatal to the host. Not satisfied with charging interest on currency and loans, derivatives were introduced by the Euro-banksters as the ultimate weapon of mass economic destruction.

Greece

In Greece, the citizenry are up in arms over the new austerity measures that will make it easier for the Euro-banksters to exact their pound of flesh.

"Before any funds are disbursed under the bailout in March, the government must pass a supplementary budget including spending cuts worth 1.5 percent of gross domestic product this year, or 3.3 billion euros ($4.37 billion).

- A first breakdown of the cuts, issued this month, stated that 1.1 billion euros would come from health spending, mainly by lowering pharmaceuticals prices; 400 million euros from public investment; 300 million euros from the defense budget; 300 million from pension cuts and 300 million from the central government. Some 325 million euros of cuts were put aside to be detailed later, with the remainder to come from a series of smaller measures to reduce ministry operating expenses." (Source)

Greece has its problems. For example, in a country of about 11 million people, an estimated 750,000 work for the government. (Source) One fourth of the population is retired and living on Pensions. The government just kicked 200,000 people off the welfare and pension roles for fraud. (Source)

Yet, even the Greek Welfare state is sustainable without the additional burdens imposed by the Euro-banksters. Pensions can survive economic downturns, but they can't survive leveraged bets in the form of derivatives contracts.

Greek Nationalism is the Solution

The people of Greece need to abandon the Euro and repudiate the Euro-Bankster debts. Scrape off the parasites and watch how fast the patient recovers. The same holds true for every other country in Europe. The problem is three-fold:

1. Private Central Banks that charge interest on a regional currency (The Euro).

2. The Welfare State, which relies on bankster loans to meet its demands. Otherwise defined as Socialism.

3. Regional obligations that may or may not benefit Greece.

The solution is equally obvious:

1. Abandon the Euro. Establish an interest free currency.

2. Repudiate the Euro-bankster debt through default.

3. Abandon Socialism and establish protective Tariffs.

4. Withdraw from the European Union.

I've been a Ron Paul supporter since 2007 and have put in hundreds of hours and hundreds of FRNs in the fight to restore the United States to its free market, limited government, Constitutional roots.

My goal hasn't changed. My goal will NEVER change.

This movement has never been a cult of personality, it is a Revolution--a revolution of IDEAS.

The ideas and ideals are the same, no matter what happens to Ron Paul the person.

Yes, I have tremendous respect, admiration and (dare I say it) love for Ron Paul because he's a truly decent, intelligent, dedicated human being. He's a living exemplar of his beliefs. He leads by example, showing us what BELIEF can accomplish in spite of incredible odds.

The ignored, blacked out, marginalized, insulted, slandered country doctor from Texas is the last one standing against the empty suit candidate who has no grassroots support, no principles, no ideas, and no integrity, but who has had on his side for the past four years every possible advantage: a corrupt party, biased media, ignorant electorate, and a blank check from Wall Street's most corrupt and bailed-out banksters.

We have WON against INSANE ODDS. I'm talking Apollo 13 odds. WE have won. Not just Ron Paul, not just the campaign...ALL of us, pulling together have accomplished this.

In another two years, WE WILL BE THE GOP. Going to Tampa and controlling the Platform is an integral part of that process.

How about we focus on the WINS instead of seeking out more ammo for the Circular Firing Squad that is currently underway on the DP?

Please, DPers, Get a Grip! They're attacking us (and the trolls are out in force) because WE'RE WINNING.

So you feel disappointed or betrayed by the campaign. With due respect, GET OVER IT! I feel disappointed and betrayed by a corrupt GOP machine that gave us John "NDAA" McCain. I feel betrayed by a Federal Reserve system that stole most of my life's wealth before I was even born. I feel betrayed by a media that has abdicated its responsibility as a watchdog and has instead become a lapdog--facilitating government abuse instead of exposing it.

It's time to put on your big boy pants, stop crying, and get back to work.

Ron Paul has been fighting the good fight for FORTY YEARS. Surely, we can hang together for another 90 days?

Ron Paul Statement on Campaign Going Forward

“We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.” – Ron Paul

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul issued the following statement to supporters and the general public concerning the continuation of his historic bid for the GOP nomination.

The statement tees up forthcoming information the campaign will release concerning its fruitful delegate-attainment strategy still occurring at delegate-selection events such as state conventions ahead of the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

Below please find comments from Congressman Paul:

“As I reflect on our 2012 Presidential campaign, I am humbled by the supporters who have worked so hard and sacrificed so much. And I am so proud of what we have accomplished. We will not stop until we have restored what once made America the greatest country in human history.

“This campaign fought hard and won electoral success that the talking heads and pundits never thought possible. But, this campaign is also about more than just the 2012 election. It has been part of a quest I began 40 years ago and that so many have joined. It is about the campaign for Liberty, which has taken a tremendous leap forward in this election and will continue to grow stronger in the future until we finally win.

“Our campaign will continue to work in the state convention process. We will continue to take leadership positions, win delegates, and carry a strong message to the Republican National Convention that Liberty is the way of the future.

“Moving forward, however, we will no longer spend resources campaigning in primaries in states that have not yet voted. Doing so with any hope of success would take many tens of millions of dollars we simply do not have. I encourage all supporters of Liberty to make sure you get to the polls and make your voices heard, particularly in the local, state, and Congressional elections, where so many defenders of Freedom are fighting and need your support.

“I hope all supporters of Liberty will remain deeply involved – become delegates, win office, and take leadership positions. I will be right there with you. In the coming days, my campaign leadership will lay out to you our delegate strategy and what you can do to help, so please stay tuned.

For Liberty,
Ron Paul.”
