<p>"There is no legitimate reason for the <a target="_blank" href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/section/irs">IRS</a> to know who donates to Campaign for Liberty," Megan Stiles, the communications director at Campaign for Liberty, told the <em>Washington Examiner</em> in an email on Tuesday. "We believe the <a target="_blank" href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/section/first-amendment">First Amendment</a> is on our side as evidenced by cases such as NAACP v. Alabama and International Union UAW v. National Right to Work. Many 501(c)(4) organizations protect the privacy of their donors in the very same way as Campaign for Liberty. For some reason the IRS has now chosen to single out Campaign for Liberty for special attention. We plan to fight this all the way."</p>

<p>Secret Service officials are being accused of recently engaging in sexual misconduct and other indiscretions in a total of 17 countries, according to a report Friday in The Washington Post.</p>
<p>The paper reported that the claims were made by whistleblowers to a Senate committee. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., top Republican on that Homeland Security subcommittee, told the Post that the accounts contradict claims made by Secret Service leaders that the agency does not allow such behavior.</p>
<p>The shocking allegations follow the April 2012 incident where a number of agents were caught drinking and seeing prostitutes while on assignment in Colombia.</p>
<p>The Post also reported this week that two supervisors were removed from President Obama’s detail and are under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct. The paper reported that two senior supervisors at the agency, Ignacio Zamora, Jr., and Timothy Barraclough, were found to have sent sexually suggestive emails to a female subordinate.</p>
<p>On Friday, the paper reported that in one of the many incidents abroad, a whistleblower said dozens of agents were waiting on a military plane to leave Thailand in 2009, en route to South Korea, but a supervisor stayed behind to find a missing agent.</p>
<p>The agent reportedly was at a Thai brothel, intoxicated, and was later flown back at additional expense on a commercial flight.</p>

<div class="feedEntryContent"><p>The Iowa Republican has released a series of emails and secretly recorded phone conversations over the past couple of days. Those emails and conversations were provided to the Iowa Republican by Dennis Fusaro – the former Executive Director of the Iowans for Right to Work Committee. In those emails, an alleged backdoor deal was made between Iowa State Senator Kent Sorenson and the Paul campaign. The deal included an agreement in which Sorenson would leave his position as the Iowa Chairman of Michelle Bachmann’s 2012 campaign just before the Iowa caucus to endorse Dr. Paul.</p>
<p>Since last spring, the Bachmann campaign has claimed that Sen. Sorenson defected to the Paul campaign because he was paid to do so. The claims haven’t gone away. The Iowa Supreme Court is looking into evidence that Sorenson committed two ethics violations. As the Iowa Republican points out, this is the first time in 15 years that an ethics complaint has been forwarded to the state’s Supreme Court. Bachmann has her own problems in Iowa with investigations by the Federal Elections Commission on allegations of campaign finance violations.</p>

<div class="content"><p>There is so much disinformation on this issue that I will probably have to post more than once, but here are a few points:</p>
<p>--Ron is not using the State to acquire RonPaul.com. He could have brought a lawsuit in US government courts, but he did not. He is seeking to have ICANN enforce its own rules against cybersquatting, including the rule against registering a famous person’s name and making money off it. Anyone registering a URL agrees to keep all the rules, just as he must pay a recurring fee. A URL is not private property in the normal sense. It is a license, and ICANN is a private, non-profit organization.</p>
<p>--Ron is not calling on the UN. ICANN has four approved arbitration organizations. Because the RP.com guys registered Ron's name in Australia, the international arbitration option must be used. Yes, it is associated with the UN. Too bad, but one must play the cards one is dealt. The UN itself is not involved, though note—whatever else is wrong with it—the UN is not a State.</p>
<p>--Why did Ron wait so long to bring this claim? He did not feel he could do so as a public official. Once he became a private citizen again, he was freed.</p>
<p>--This fight is not about so-called intellectual property, since it involves private agreements. But if it were, must one agree with Murray Rothbard--who discussed IP more than 50 years ago--to be a libertarian? I agree with Murray, but IP is hardly a make or break issue. Certainly Murray did not see it as such. In the same sense, one need not be an anarcho-capitalist to be a libertarian, though, like Murray, I am one. One can be a constitutionalist or otherwise believe in limited government. Oh, and need I note that Murray loved and admired Ron?</p>
<p>--Is Ron "attacking his own supporters" by his action? Apparently, the RP.com people have never given a dime to any of his campaigns nor educational efforts. Instead, they are attacking Ron. Some supporters. But it will not work. And it will soon be over, freeing Ron from this distraction as he steps up his fight for freedom. Really steps it up, in historic ways.</p>

Fortunately for us, much of the U.S. currency is owned by other countries, so we get to spread around this joy. This is clearly a tax, and has bipartisan support."

I can't make the math work. <br/> <br/> Next, $19,108 per every person in the USA.<br/> <br/> Is there some more complex calculation to arrive at these numbers?<br/> <br/> Anybody have any estimates on dollar evaluation on #QE3.

<br/> 4) Those who are not mindless sheep, cowering in fear of confrontation, going along to get along.<br/>
<br/>
This analysis is not going to be the same old blah, blah, blah dished out by the two major parties and regurgitated by the major media. We are going to do some outside the box thinking and explore the internet for an uncensored and unscripted perception of reality held by average Americans.<br/>
<br/>
In the course of this article, we are going to talk about 3 major points:<blockquote><br/> 1) Disenfranchisement;<br/>
2) Illusion of “Business as usual”;<br/>
3) American Spring</blockquote>
<br/> <b>1) DISENFRACHISEMENT</b><br/>
<br/>
The major media touched on the issues of RNC rules changes. They attributed these to the Romney campaign. This writer believes the GOP Establishment had as much a hand in this rule change duplicity as did Candidate Romney. This author contends the GOP Establishment’s intent with these rule changes was to repress, suppress and oppress a chorus of voices that have risen within the Republican Party. A chorus of voices that challenge the corrupt, duplicitous status quo of the Republican Establishment (and Democrat Establishment)<br/>
<br/>
This new chorus of voices is composed of Ron Paulers, the Liberty Movement and the TEA Party movement. These new voices have recognized the duplicity of the Republican Establishment and aim to “take back the party”. The Republican Establishment, quite predictably, likes the status quo and the power it has under the current status quo.<br/>
<br/>
The TAR (Transparency, Accountability and Reform) that these various conservative groups espouse is challenging the status quo and the Power of the Republican Party elite. The GOP Establishment, therefore, is doing whatever it can to maintain their power and the status quo.<br/>
<br/>
But these new conservative groups trying to squeeze into the Republican Tent, represent a major change and quandary fro the Republican Elite. In the past, the rank and file membership was more naïve, malleable and unorganized. The Republican Establishment was taken off guard and frightened by the prospect of an uncertain outcome to the <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/convention"><span style="color: #336699;">convention</span></a>. And the GOP Establishment determined it would not risk what it saw as “chaos” . The GOP elite would not allow these new voices demanding TAR a chance to speak, nominate their candidates and/or press their agenda. The GOP Elite determined it would avoid what it saw as potential chaos, by bypassing the troublesome delegates by changing the rules.<br/>
<br/>
And in the angst of the moment the Republican Establishment and Candidate Romney made a huge mistake and missed an opportunity. The GOP Establishment’s first counter measures of “stealth” rule changes and pure “Might makes Right”, have led to distrust and reduced credibility from those within this new chorus of voices.<br/>
<br/>
The machinations of Candidate Romney and the GOP Establishment have disenfranchised a large portion of TAR supporters and alerted other previously unaware conservatives, of the duplicity of the Republican Establishment.<br/>
<br/>
Whoever was responsible, whether it was Candidate Romney or the Republican Establishment or both, failed to recognize the consequences of and the opportunity presented by a “messy”, un-orchestrated convention.<br/>
<br/>
Through the chaos of free speech, free debate and free elections comes....<br/>

<p class="first">Jesse Benton, the national campaign chairman for <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346777415_0">Ron Paul</span>’s 2012 presidential bid, flatly told The <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346777415_5">Daily Caller</span> on Tuesday that Paul “will not endorse Gary Johnson.”</p>
<p>The decision is not entirely unexpected, as Paul’s son, Kentucky Sen. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346777415_1">Rand Paul</span>, spoke at the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346777415_3">Republican National Convention</span> last week and has endorsed <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1346777415_2">Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney</span>.</p>
<p>During the Republican convention, Ron Paul refused to endorse Romney amid a bitter fight between Paul supporters and party leaders over delegate spots.</p>
<p>Paul <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Aji5.XKnIuBHLzgBFKvS6D.f.Ox_;_ylu=X3oDMTFqMDgxZXM0BG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIEJvZHkEcG9zAzEEc2VjA01lZGlhQXJ0aWNsZUJvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTJqcmxnYnNvBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDMWY3MGQ1YzAtMDMwYi0zMGQ3LTk3Y2MtMDE5OGU2NjBkNzM1BHBzdGNhdAMEcHQDc3RvcnlwYWdl;_ylv=0/SIG=13lpn95vk/EXP=1347996916/**http%3A//dailycaller.com/2012/08/31/ron-paul-reacts-to-romney-eastwood-rnc-convention-performances/">told</a> Bloomberg on Friday that he wasn’t pleased with Romney’s Thursday night convention speech.</p>
<p>“I remain very, very skeptical of hearing anything that will change the course of history,” said Paul. “There was no talk of the Federal Reserve. One of the engines of spending is militarism and empire and he enhanced it. He was on pushing it.”</p>
<p>Paul also praised Johnson, the former Republican governor of New Mexico, at the convention, <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AkPEr9E1pu6kexI1H2OHxG6f.Ox_;_ylu=X3oDMTFqaWd2Ymg3BG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIEJvZHkEcG9zAzIEc2VjA01lZGlhQXJ0aWNsZUJvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTJqcmxnYnNvBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDMWY3MGQ1YzAtMDMwYi0zMGQ3LTk3Y2MtMDE5OGU2NjBkNzM1BHBzdGNhdAMEcHQDc3RvcnlwYWdl;_ylv=0/SIG=1492a4bne/EXP=1347996916/**http%3A//www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/index.html%23/v/1815715535001/kennedys-view-of-the-rnc/%3Fplaylist_id=87530" target="_blank" class="external" rel="nofollow">saying</a>, “I think he’s wonderful and I think he’s doing a good job, and people should look at him and every individual should make up their own mind.”</p>
