I have just been listening to Rand Paul’s acceptance speech.
He called Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez “petty dictators” which he must KNOW is a ridiculous lie – hence he is a dishonest liar. He also said that “Obama apologizes for America’s greatness”. What kind of crap is that? Obama is every bit as arrogant, imperialist and flag-waving as Dubya, Papa-Bush or even Reagan.
He also seems to be oblivious to the absolutely obvious fact that Capitalism, being based on infinite growth in a finite environment, is to our planet what a malignant tumor is to a body: a death sentence unless it is eradicated. Amazing that a medical doctor would not realize this simple fact.
I conclude that Rand Paul is just a piece of garbage. How a seemingly honest and principled man like Ron Paul could just stand there while his son was spewing that kind of nonsense is beyond me.
To paraphrase Orwell, if there is hope, it must be with the progressive (real) Left.
That is my personal conclusion.
The Saker
LaRouches organisation is the only good organisation out there with a real grasp of things and a solution to the global economic meltdown and a counter system to the British/US Imperial system.

He said that BRIC is a trap as the term was coined by Goldman Sachs and is part of Rothschild inter Alpha group a series banks in Spain, Greece, Ireland and Brazil and it is through Brazil and banks like Banco Santander that control the Brazilian economy that they control BRIC.

“Russian Commentator Notes LaRouche’s Diagnosis of BRIC
May 6, 2010 (LPAC) Circulation in Russian of Lyndon LaRouche’s March 13 webcast, in which he exposed the “BRIC” construct as controlled through the London Rothschilds’ Inter-Alpha Group, is shaping discussion of the latest financial crisis developments, among Russian commentators. The webcast video, with Russian voiceover, has been viewed by thousands of people.
In an April 29 column for FinTimes.ru and his own blog, financial commentator Mikhail Khazin cited LaRouche in connection with Russian Subprime Minister Alexei Kudrin’s latest travels in the United States. Kudrin’s included mission was to renegotiate Russia’s World Bank quota. Noting that the so-called BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) make up less than 50% of the World Bank quotas, Khazin added: “Incidentally, the very term BRIC was originally proposed by Goldman Sachs, which has recently been in the news because of accusations of fraud…. In the opinion of the well-known American dissident Lyndon LaRouche, this was done expressly in order that the financial authorities of Russia and Brazil, which are controlled by the world financial elite (such as Goldman Sachs), would serve to ‘dilute’ the stronger and, most importantly, more independent financial teams of India and China.”

Interesting info also that Russia’s shock therapy economic advisers where trained in the late 80’s in and that major Russian companies pushing for Russia’s modernisation lead by the likes of Kudrin are based in offshore British tax havens like the Cayman Islands.

P.S
I don’t like Orwell I think he is a Trotskyite piece of trash and was almost certainly an MI6 agent.
I’m certainly more libertarian than leftist. I loved Ron Paul’s old campaign and had hoped he would run again in 2012.
However, Rand is a huge disappointment. Granted, if he said what his father says he would have a hard time getting elected. But I will put no trust in any politician who says what he must to get what he wants.
Yesterday’s primary was supposed to be a “blow” to the establishment. But once the establishment has corrupted him, it will be a blow to the Ron Paul movement. We would have been better off if he spoke his mind and lost.
Yes, Rand is a huge disappointment to Ron Paul fans (libertarians). His pandering to the neo-cons by slamming Chavez is ludicrous. I can only assume that he’s also “kissed the ring” in Tel Aviv and supports the “War On Terror”. No change there.
He probably thinks that 19 crazed Muslims with box-cutters brought down four airliners and three WTC buildings, too.
Rand is representative of the neo-cons and various mouthbreather factions that have taken over his father’s Tea Party movement.
I’m still waiting for a true Constitutionalist to emerge as a 3rd party contender.
But at least the establishment politicos are pissed. That’s gotta be worth something.
