HOW TO DEFEAT THE SPP & NAU

http://www.dailypaul.com/node/51919

How to defeat the SPP and the NAU.
The Great American Phone-In.
Guest column by Paul Grondin
Note: We are a small but growing group of united Canadians and Americans who are trying to stop the SPP and the NAU. And, yes, I know how busy everyone is with all of things that are demanding your immediate attention. You know, personal things. Football. Baseball. Basketball. Hockey. Or maybe working around the house or working out at the fitness center. But, please—take a few minues to look over this plan that we plan to launch later this year. (Don't worry, it won't happen on a football night.) Please read this over carefully. If you think the idea has merit, we need all of the help we can get.

What are we up to? A plan to defeat the Security Prosperity Partnership [SSP] and its evil son, the North American Union [NAU]. By the way, when its over, we will win!

Numerous people are telling me that time is growing very short. With the legislation that the Governments of Canada and the USA are passing into law, it appears that we are not winning the battle against the Power Elite's plan to use the Security Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to create a North American Union (NAU), which will eliminate the countries of Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Many are working very, very hard to turn this around, but now it is time to take this to the rank and file working class men and women whose sweat equity built our great societies. Unlike our national leaders who want to unite our nations into a single commonwealth, I would like to unite the brawn of the people—Canadian and American people—to work together to defeat the SPP and NAU. After all, George W. Bush united our governments to destroy not only our countries but our way of life. So why not unite our peoples to stop this madness?

Historically, Canadians and Americans have performed miracles when they work together. In 1942, two contingents of soldiers—Canadian and American—came together to form the world's first Special Service force. Originally, no one believed that these soldiers would be any different from any other brigade in the Allied Forces. Out numbered and outgunned, this brigade performed the impossible time and time again until the Nazis started calling them The Devil's Brigade. As the war progressed, Nazi soldiers began surrendering before the battle were fought if the German forces knew they were facing the Devil's Brigade.

The Devil's Brigade was made up of ordinary men who did extraordinary deeds. (This is well-documented in the book written by Robert H. Adleman and George Walton. In 1968, MGM turned the story into a movie staring William Holden and Cliff Robertson), "The Mighty WE." In unity, Americans and Canadians can once again become the "The Mighty We."

We need to awaken our friends and create a vocal force that the world will hear at the same moment in time. Can my idea work? Yes. How do I know? Because I've already done it.

Back in the early '90's, I was living in Boise Idaho. We owned a couple of businesses. One was a weight loss clinic where we sold herbal supplements and other vitamins and nutrients. During that period Big Pharma was "test-driving" their plan to challenge the public's right to use herbal supplements without consulting either a medical doctor or a nutritionist.

They had their flunkies in the American Medical Association stir up the bureaucrats in Idaho to write legislation which would mandate that only a nutritionist or medical professional could advise people on the proper use of herbal supplements.

The bill was covertly enrolled in the Idaho Senate in one of those rare late night sessions while the people slept. Lawyers who looked at the legislation in the light of day told us that if this bill was enacted into law, no one except medical personnel (which included state-registered nutritionists), could advise people about the merits of herbal supplements—or sell them.

On the following Tuesday, the bill was going to be debated in committee. The Senate leadership was convinced the bill would be a cakewalk. They knew if it passed, the Legislature (lower house) would rubber stamp it without any debate. The committee's job was to save time.

We went into action. We organized everyone in the State of Idaho we could reach who was interested in herbal medications. A public forum was scheduled to be held in Boise on Sunday night. For a shoestring operation without a lot of planning time, a few hundred people showed up for the meeting.

Tuesday morning was the kicker. Our plan went into action. We had people calling into the State governmental offices all morning. Angry callers registering their objection to this bill, and promised to replace any politician who voted for it. The idea was call, voice our complaint, hang up and call again—and again, and again and again.

Without knowing we could actually successfully pull it off, we jammed the switchboard. No more incoming and outgoing calls. The Speaker of the House stood up on the floor and pleaded for Idahoans to stop calling. He pledged that the legislative committee would meet with us. On Thursday, we arrived in the committee room. In the end, the voters won. Fear of the voters forced them to kill the legislation. It died in committee without ever seeing a floor vote.

The Plan

The plan is a matter of numbers. If you get enough people involved, the numbers are there. You know how it works. All of us have email lists. We mail our lists. Each of the people on those lists mail their lists, and so on. If you have 500 names on your mailing list, and everyone you mail to have 500 names, let me show you what happens. After the first cycle, 250 thousand people are part of the network. At the end of the second cycle, 125,000,000 are now part of the network. But since we know, half of the people you send your email to are going to delete it without even reading it, and only half of what's left will send the email. It's still an impressive number. At the end of the first cycle, you will have reached 62,500 who are actually interested in stopping the North American Union, and will participate in the plan. At the end of the second cycle, the network will include 7,812,500 people—more than enough to scare the crap out of even the most arrogant politician since 7 million votes can put a lot of career politicians in the bread line.

The plan: we do the same we did in Idaho—only we do it on a much larger scale We do it hemispherically. Or rather, we do it in the United States and Canada. Most of the Mexicans are already in the United States anyway.

If you're against the NAU and the SPP, this means you. YOU must contact everyone you know who feels as you feel. Its pointless to waste your sweat on people who think the NAU is a neat idea, or that living in an American European Union overrun by radical Islam is fine. We need people involved in this strategy who understand the danger to our way of live if those we erroneously elected are given the authority to erase our national boundaries—and our national identities. Because it will be more than a national shame, it will be national treason in the United States and in Canada. We come from the stock, the same roots of the same oak tree. We are kinsmen of the soul and brothers to the core. But I know this about brothers. Put them under the same roof and sooner or later, one is going to punch the other one in the nose.

We're the new Minutemen. (If you email me (pgrondin2@cogeco.ca) I will make sure you have a list of phone numbers for your (US) Senators and Congressmen, or (Canada) members of Parliament. For the most part, the plan is fairly simple. Dial the number, state your opposition to the SPP and NAU, then hang up. Do it again and again—and again and again.

By October 16, 2008—D Day—we will have a script for those who want or need one. It will be brief, simple, to the point. Each call will take less than thirty seconds. The Idaho model is a good model. But remember, Idaho has only a million people. It's a small state with a small government.

In Canada, there are 32 million people with enormous spaces between populated centers, while the USA has a population upwards of 300 million, give or take a million or two. The phone systems are much more complex. Therefore, we need to fill our ranks with Very Special Forces—dedicated people who have the resolve to return our governments to the people.

On Thursday, October 16, 2008, the "Special Forces" will focus on the politicians who owe their allegiance to us. We need to make sure they understand that. They've been on the dole for so long, they now believe the people who bribe them somehow elected them. It's time they understood they work for us. We need to begin a rapid-fire pattern of repetitious calling. Call, recite a 30-second spiel and hang up. Call and hang up. Call and hang up.

But, let us not kid ourselves. This is serious business. It's not a game. We will win only if we have the numbers. A few thousand people making one call and thinking one salvo will win the war need not join this army because they won't win the battle. We need numbers, a lot of numbers because that politician needs to think that every person in the United States and/or Canada has him or her on speed dial.

When that phone starts ringing on October 16, 2008, the people who work in each legislative office have to look at each other and ask: "What's going on? This phone won't stop ringing."We need to make sure that, all day long, the phones in every Congressional, Senatorial or Parliamentarian office don't stop ringing!

If you want to join this army to annihilate the NAU, you can reach me by email at pgrondin2@cogeco.ca, or by writing me at:

Suggested Enhancements for iTunes/FrontRow

I would really like the ability to remotely control iTunes. I'm not talking about sharing/streaming a library. For instance, I use a MacMini as a Home Theater PC, and using Front Row is tedious when I have 100s of artists to scroll through. I've tried stuff like SlimServer, and although it's much better, it's far from ideal. Giving iTunes on my laptop the ability to remotely control iTunes on my mini would be a huge improvement, especially if Apple updates their product line with a Tablet Mac. This feature alone would prompt me to buy a tablet.

Next, there doesn't appear to be a way to add a song to a current playlist within Front Row. Currently, if the PLAY button is held down on the Apple Remote, the mini goes into sleep mode. This behavior is different from an iPod, where holding PLAY upon selection of a song adds the song to the "On-The-Go" playlist. To take things a little further, the selected song should be added to the currently playing playlist, and not the default one (unless no playlist is playing).

Also, how about allowing the visualizer to kick in when in Front Row? Actually, there really needs to be a more in depth configuration panel for Front Row.

Lastly, within iTunes, the lower left corner is usually reserved for the album art. I think this space can serve other functions, as well. Why not have a dropdown to allow selection of a playlist (which will contain the option to view the album art). When I'm building a playlist, I like to view what I've added as I'm searching for new songs to add. More so, I should be able to insert/move/remove a song from this "quick view." This bring up another point. If I search for a song in my computer's music library, then jump to my iPod song library to see what I have, my search & browse results are swiped out when I return to my computer library. I would really like iTunes to remember the search and browsing state when switching between libraries/devices.

Nashua Telegraph Interview

2007-12-24T13:28:00.000-08:00

I want to express my disappointment with Volkswagen. Their website lists the features & options for a 2008 2-Door Rabbit, but apparently honoring those listings means nothing to the German car manufacturer. This morning (Christmas Eve), I purchased a new 2008 Rabbit for my mother, a Christmas gift for a woman who never owned a new car in her life (my second VW purchase in three years). As we were about to drive away, I noticed that the vehicle did not have any floor mats! I immediately addressed this apparent "over sight" with the salesman, but he insisted that they are not standard features. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed with the classlessness of this. I mean, is VW becoming that cheap? Anyway, I wanted to make sure that he was correct about this, so I waited to check the website myself - which confirmed my suspicions - floor mats ARE standard.

I called customer service, but they were no help, stating that options may change without notice and there is nothing that can be done. Nice one VW.

Here is something else that just changed without notice: I most likely won't own a third V-Dub, instead choosing a manufacturer who actually cares about customer service. It's not the Floor Mats, stupid.

Dear fellow Ron Paul supporter,

Recently, I've been seeing videos of RP supporters at rallies for other candidates, and I have to say that I'm appalled at some actions. Below are my thoughts:

First, it appears that you are using Ron Paul as a reason to protest the other candidates. That is a complete disservice to Ron Paul, supporters like me, and possible future RP supporter - for a few reasons.

In your brilliant attempts to "promote" Ron Paul by protesting WHATEVER, you are alienating voters. When people choose a candidate, a sort of bond is created. When you "protest," those people will immediately put up a defense. Why? Because an attack on their candidate is an attack on them. You will NEVER convince people that Ron Paul is the right choice under these circumstances.
If you are protesting the candidate, leave Ron Paul out of it. Protesting Rudy is your agenda, not Dr. Paul's. In fact, I'm sure that the approach you are taking is opposite of what Ron Paul would do. Brute Force is never better than Reason. If someone chooses Rudy simply because of his name, what makes you think that pushing Ron Paul in their face is going to change anything?
A better approach is to walk around and talk with people. Present you case in a clear way, like Ron Paul would. Hand out literature. Acknowledge that they are Rudy, or Fred, or Mitt supporters, and ask them why they support that candidate. Then calmly present your case for why you support Ron Paul. Keep it short and sweet, and hand them whatever information you have, asking them to at least consider Ron Paul's points. In addition, BE PREPARED TO LEAVE if someone doesn't want to talk to you. Thank them and smile.

Second, are you not protesting the candidate? Then why the hell are you there?

I've heard some argue that they are protesting the MSM's coverage of Ron Paul. Why, then, aren't you protesting at the offices of those companies? Call local papers to cover it, but never be a jackass. Remember, if you have a Ron Paul sign, OR EVEN USE HIS NAME, everything you do or say will reflect on Ron Paul.
If you are protesting the MSM just to do so, leave Ron Paul out of it. Stand on your own merits, and don't use Ron Paul's name as a crutch.

Lastly, if you find yourself saying something like "So, you wouldn't vote for Ron Paul because of me," then you've done more damage than you can possibly recover from. Instead, smile, apologize and explain why you are so passionate, hand some literature, and WALK AWAY. You aren't making things any better.

I hope that you consider my thoughts the next time you rally.

The Talking Heads song about American intervention:

Original Release Date: October 8, 1980

Talking Heads - Listening Wind

Mojique sees his village from a nearby hill
Mojique thinks of the days before Americans came
He sees the foreigners in growing numbers
He sees the foreigners in fancy houses
He thinks of the days that he can still remember...now.

Mojique holds a package in his quivering hands
Mojique sends the package to the American man
Softly, he glides along the streets and alleys
Up comes the wind that makes them run for cover
He feels the time is surely now or never...more.

The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
(Come to) Drive them away
Drive them away.

Mojique buys equipment in the marketplace
Mojique plants devices in the free trade zone
He feels the wind is lifting up his people
He calls the wind to guide him on his mission
He know his friend the wind is always standing...by.

Mojique smells the wind that comes from far away
Mojique waits for news in a quiet place
He feels the presence of the wind around him
He feels the power of the past behind him
He has the knowledge of the wind to guide him...on.

The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
The dust in my head
The dust in my head
The wind in my heart
The wind in my heart
(Come to) Drive them away
Drive them away.

Waterboarding in History: A lesson dedicated to Schumer and Feinstein

From the post:

Brasil: Nunca Mais is a study of state repression during the Brazilian military dictatorship from 1964-1985. Undertaken clandestinely by a team of lawyers, clergymen, and others, the study is based entirely on the Brazilian government’s own records of interrogations, disappearances, and other operations taken on in the name of national security. The documents were photocopied secretly until the archives of the Supreme Military Tribunal were reproduced. To date, the identity of many of the project’s participants is unknown. The book was first published in 1985, the final year of the Brazilian dictatorship. It is an abridged version of the complete work, which is over 5,000 pages long.

Check out this shot from MSNBC:

Where is Ron Paul in this list?

2007-06-14T12:58:00.000-07:00

Ron Paul's H.R. 1009

INDUSTRIAL HEMP FARMING ACT OF 2007
The bills co-sponsors (Rep):

Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)
Barney Frank (D-MA)
Raul Grijalva (D-AZ)
Maurice Hinchey (D-NY)
Dennis Kucinich (D-OH)
Jim McDermott (D-WA)
George Miller (D-CA)
Pete Stark (D-CA)
Lynn Woolsey (D-CA)

"It is indefensible that the United States government prevents American farmers from growing this crop. The prohibition subsidizes farmers in countries from Canada to Romania by eliminating American competition and encourages jobs in industries such as food, auto parts and clothing that utilize industrial hemp to be located overseas instead of in the United States," said Dr. Paul. "By passing the Industrial Hemp Farming Act the House of Representatives can help American farmers and reduce the trade deficit -- all without spending a single taxpayer dollar."

Milton Friedman [founding father of the Reagan Revolution] leads a list of more than 500 economists from around the U.S. who today will publicly endorse a Harvard University economist's report on the costs of marijuana prohibition and the potential revenue gains from the U.S. government instead legalizing it and taxing its sale. Ending prohibition enforcement would save $7.7 billion in combined state and federal spending, the report says, while taxation would yield up to $6.2 billion a year.

Replacing marijuana prohibition with a system of taxation and regulation similar to that used for alcoholic beverages would produce combined savings and tax revenues of between $10 billion and $14 billion per year, finds a June 2005 report by Dr. Jeffrey Miron, visiting professor of economics at Harvard University.

Criminalizing marijuana causes problems:

Unnamed Florida college student
On June 6, 2003, a 19-year-old Alachua County, Florida, college student was raped by his cellmate as he served the first of four weekend sentences for delivering marijuana, a felony offense. The student's cellmate was a violent offender in jail awaiting trial on sexual battery charges; the two men shared a cell because of jail overcrowding.

Cheryl Noel
In January 2005, 44-year-old Cheryl Noel was shot and killed by police officers raiding her Maryland home for drugs. Noel, who had been asleep when the raid started, came to her bedroom door with a gun — presumably in self-defense — and was shot and killed. Noel's husband, son, and a family friend staying in the house were charged with possession of a small quantity of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Clayton Helriggle
In September 27, 2002, armed police officers raided a rural farmhouse in West Alexandria, Ohio, based on a tip from a convicted felon that there were drugs in the house. Nearly 30 officers, clad in body armor and riot shields, stormed the house with a battering ram and detonated stun grenades to disorient the occupants of the house. Awoken from his nap by the noise, 23-year-old Clayton Helriggle walked downstairs — allegedly with a gun — and was promptly shot in the chest by police. Two minutes later, he was dead in the arms of a roommate.

Jimmy Montgomery
Paraplegic medical marijuana patient Jimmy Montgomery was given a life sentence (later reduced to 10 years) for possessing two ounces of marijuana with intent to distribute. Evidence that he intended to distribute the marijuana came from a sheriff's deputy who was later convicted of embezzling seized property and assets.
