RON PAUL UPDATES 3/7/08

Paul to Stay in Race

In a video released Thursday night and displayed on the campaign website, Ron Paul revved up revolutionaries once again with the message of liberty, peace, and prosperity. As many were wondering whether he would step out, Paul showed that his dedication to the cause of liberty is more important to him then taking a more comfortable path.

Bad Reporting Strikes Again

It’s not a new experience for supporters of Ron Paul, but the media has once again greatly botched a story and caused quite a bit of confusion through misinformation. As reported earlier, ABC News made a blog entry stating Ron Paul was set to drop out on the 6th in a video. When this video showed the opposite, ABC News slowly, and partially retracted its story over a course of several hours. But the damage was done, and sites such as salon.com, antiwar.com, and hotair.com quicky put up articles stating he had withdrawn.

And as noted above, ABC didn’t actually fully retract its story, it just modified it to say that he was "moving on" from the race, which was equally inaccurate. And no less damaging in regards to other press outlets picking up on it, this time with Yahoo News and CNN who both reported that he was “hinting at” dropping out.

WEIRD OR REAL 3/1/08

The Moses Code Movie Blasphemy and The Big Shift

A movie will be unveiled on April 5 that should get a prize for honesty in blasphemy. Unlike the emerging church celebrity authors and speakers who shuck and jive when asked direct questions about God, salvation, and truth, The Moses Code is produced by those who will tell you right out what they believe. What they do believe is breathtaking in its Satanic audacity.

The Realworld "Minority Report"

The program called Project Hostile Intent is part of the Human Factors Division of the DHS. DHS says that they need a way to detect possible "future" terrorists without a criminal past and with no known ties to terrorist organizations and therefore do not appear in any government databases. The technology will use advanced biometric technology in an attempt to "read minds" of people in public places, like airports.

DANGEROUS & SCARY TIMES

FAIRY TALES AND SCHOOL REFORM
By R.C. Murray/NewsWithViews.com

But how will the next generation of Americans retain an American identity with no knowledge of their American heritage? ...But do you really think elitists won’t fight for their socialistic worldview of history? Do you think it’s possible that elitists want our children to think of themselves as part of the international community and no longer as Americans?

NASA Baffled by Unexplained Force Acting on Space Probes

Mysteriously, five spacecraft that flew past the Earth have each displayed unexpected anomalies in their motions. These newfound enigmas join the so-called "Pioneer anomaly" as hints that unexplained forces may appear to act on spacecraft. A decade ago, after rigorous analyses, anomalies were seen with the identical Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft as they hurtled out of the solar system. Both seemed to experience a tiny but unexplained constant acceleration toward the sun.

Iran Supplying Hamas With Rockets

Israel’s Foreign Ministry says the Grad-type Katyusha rockets fired at Ashkelon came from Iran and may lead Israel back to Gaza. ..."The 122 mm Grad rockets (also known as Katyushas), are a type of standard military artillery weapon produced in the former Soviet bloc and by other states deploying non-Western arms. It is manufactured to military standards, by a conventional arms industry, and is equipped with a weapons-grade high explosive fragmentation warhead."

Vets Break Silence on War Crimes

U.S. veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are planning to descend on Washington from Mar. 13-16 to testify about war crimes they committed or personally witnessed in those countries. ...Iraq Veterans Against the War argues that well-publicised incidents of U.S. brutality like the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the massacre of an entire family of Iraqis in the town of Haditha are not the isolated incidents perpetrated by "a few bad apples", as many politicians and military leaders have claimed. They are part of a pattern, the group says, of "an increasingly bloody occupation".

FEBRUARY HISTORICAL NOTES

Here are some history lessons for the past month. These are posts I made on the Dixie Historical Society -

Brief history of the Bonnie Blue Flag

Today the Bonnie Blue Flag is still a symbol for states' rights. It is quite popular throughout the South, and some prefer it above that of the other Confederate Flags.

Letter to son in the Confederate Army

The following letter was written by a father to his son who was serving in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.

The End of Southern Abolition

There was strong anti-slavery sentiment in the South after the Revolution and particularly in North Carolina where the American Colonization Society was well supported, ships repatriated many emancipated slaves to their homeland, and editor William Swaim of Greensboro was a strong voice against slavery.

Honoring North Carolina's Greatest Governor

This eulogy for Senator (and wartime governor) from North Carolina shows the high esteem men like Vance were held in by political opponents who could speak highly of them, but could not emulate their principles and virtue.

Rewriting History

The following is an excerpt from a 1946 pamphlet dedicated to the Public Schools of North Carolina by the Anson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy in honor of its author, Dr. Harry Tucker Graham of Florence, South Carolina.

A Governor Who Would Not Bow To Caesar

Many Southerners surrendered not only their arms to the victorious enemy, but also the principles of the Founders they fought four years to uphold against those who would revolutionize our form of government. In North Carolina Governor Locke Craig's address at the unveiling of the Zebulon Vance statue in Washington City, he spoke of the great wartime governor who would not bow to the new Caesar.

Little Protection From Vandals

The following is excerpted from famous Tarheel Kemp Battle's recollection of the last days of the War in Raleigh. His descriptions of the thievery of Sherman's troops can be added to the long list already known, and he indicates that having a Northern guard assigned to one's house for protection, many times was no protection at all. It may also explain why so many Southern-origin heirlooms and jewelry can be found in Northern families and shops.
