标 题: 荣炮：We Must Declare Independence

As Independence Day comes around again we should spend a few moments between
barbecue and fireworks to think about the meaning of independence. The
colonists who rebelled against the British Crown were, among other things,
unhappy about taxation. Yet, as economist Gary North points out, the total
burden of British imperial taxation was about one-to-two percent of national
income.
Some 241 years later, Washington claims more of our money as its own than
King George could have ever imagined. What do we get in this bargain? We get
a federal government larger and more oppressive than before 1776, a
government that increasingly views us as the enemy.
Think about NSA surveillance. As we have learned from brave whistleblowers
like William Binney and Edward Snowden, the US intelligence community is not
protecting us from foreigners who seek to destroy our way of life. The US
intelligence community is itself destroying our way of life. Literally every
one of our electronic communications is captured and stored in vast
computer networks. Perhaps they will be used against “dissidents” in the
future who question government tyranny.
We have no privacy in our computers or our phones. If the government wants
to see what we are doing at any time, it simply switches on our phone camera
or computer camera – or our “smart” television. Yet today we continue to
hear, “I’ve got nothing to hide.”
In a recent interview on our Liberty Report, Edward Snowden made the
excellent point that, “saying that you don’t care about privacy because
you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about
freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.”
Think about the TSA. The freedom to travel is fundamental, and our Fourth
Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures is the law
of the land. But if you dare to exercise that right by purchasing an air
ticket, you are treated like a Guantanamo Bay detainee. Don’t dare question
as the TSA agents commit acts that would be crimes were they done by anyone
else. Yet so many Americans still believe this is what it takes to be “
safe.”
Think about the military industrial complex. The US government spends more
on its military empire than much of the rest of the world combined. Our so-
called mortal enemy Russia spends ten cents to every dollar we spend on
weapons of war. Yet we are told we must spend more! Imagine the amazing
peaceful scientific discoveries that might be made were so many researchers
and scientists not on the government payroll designing new ways to end life
on earth.
Think about the Fed. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 the
US dollar has lost some 98 percent of its value. Is the destruction of our
currency not a cruel form of tyranny, hitting hardest those who can least
afford it?
I think it’s time for us to declare our independence from an oppressive
government that seeks to control our money and our lives in ways
unimaginable to those who rebelled against the British Crown in 1776. Our
revolution is peaceful, and it concentrates on winning hearts and minds one
at a time. But it marches on. We must reclaim the spirit of independence
every day and every night and intensify the struggle against those who seek
to impose tyranny upon us. |

发帖数: 5443 | 5 我是Ron Paul在Mitbbs的第一个支持者
你要是真心支持ron paul, 现在能做的就是支持trump
看看我2015-09-08发表的文章
http://www.mitbbs.com/pc/pccon.php?id=2306&nid=412897
我一贯支持Ron Paul，Ron Paul的理念和Trump相去甚远，但是现在我是Trump坚定的支
持者
1. 拿公司内斗来比喻，公司内竞争下一任CEO，Trump目前的人气，可以看做VP，Ron
Paul一派可以看做是senior manager, 还没到Director, 虽然Trump不是像Ron Paul 那
么自己人，但是比敌对派的VP要好太多，理智的选择就是支持Trump.
2. Trump敢于藐视政治正确
3. 左派，特别是隐蔽左派比如LOPT，纷纷出来攻击Trump, 敌人反对的，恰恰是我们需
要注意的
4. 右派大选失利，一个重要原因是没有重量级选手，前两次大选，共和党迟迟没有
front runner, 内斗严重是硬伤，Trump现在在所有的poll领先，已经改变了这个局面
5. 2016的大选特别重要，最高院的法官已经有多人80多岁，总统只有4年，法官几十年
，大家看到华人斗争的取消入学歧视，真正的战场就是最高院。这届总统有可能有提名
3到4位最高法官的机会。
政治是妥协的艺术，需要内部妥协，Trump是目前妥协的最佳人选，
现在跳出来挑trump毛病的，大家查查历史，我看，都是高情商左派来捣乱的。

床铺根荣炮有天壤之别。荣炮尊崇的是宪法， 是为美国广大人民谋利益的；床铺尊崇
的是钱，是为一小撮极富谋利益的。
