Anyone on here in New Hampshire?

I just received an email from Linda saying that the New Hampshire Union Leader did not run my ad, Why 85K for RP.

It was paid for, insert was made, they had said it would run on Sunday. today.

Also, it is supposed to be in the Telegraph today. She had not seen that yet, has anyone?

Kind of curious that it would not run. Huh.

I wonder what their excuse will be. Gee..... Mr. Lepard we were too busy shilling for the establishment candidates and we can't have the good people of New Hampshire exposed to this kind of clear thinking.

Oh man! I hope you're going to encourage them to run it next Sunday, say on Page A-3, because of their screw up. Or that, plus running it another day too.

While its generally not a good thing to throw a fit like a baby in public.....I say give them pure hell over this. If it was arranged and paid for then they broke their contract with you and so far have stolen your money. You should get better placement or more than one day out of it now.

This is a mass media lockdown

There is VIRTUALLY NOTHING being printed in the UK press

Andrew Sullivan, a supposed Ron Paul supported had an article about Iowa in the UK times this morning. There was NOT ONE SINGLE MENTION of Ron Paul in that article. If you post a message mentioning Ron Paul it will not get posted. My IP address has been blocked by The Times to prevent me posting any comments pertaining to the election

PEOPLE THIS IS WAR

The conspirators are going to prevent Ron Paul getting any exposure in the media and they will use election fraud to decimate the vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.

Also...have you guys noticed that the NH push-poll scandal is supposedly under investigation by NH Assistant AG Jim Kennedy (603-271-3658) but that we are not hearing squat about it--and probably won't until AFTER the primary, unless we insist on it?!?

Look here:

NH needs to live by their motto, and either rise up and take control of their state back, or die in the attempt!

They goofed up on running one of Skiingff's ads a month or so ago too. They made it good and in fact carried it more than once to make up for their mistake.

Let's see what Larry says after he talks to them.

Sarge
12-30-2007, 09:14 AM
Potential breach of contract, either oral or written, if a date certain was given and the money has already been paid.

Need to verify the ad is not in either paper. Not sure about the law up there, but it could be treble damages for breach of contract. Somehow, I have a feeling they leave themselves a loophole.

I sure would press for getting a two day running, for the mess up, and have it in writing on the dates and page placement.

Ron Paul Fan
12-30-2007, 09:17 AM
They'll run it, but they'll be sure and delay it long enough to run it AFTER the NH primary. This is a joke! They said they'd run it and you paid for it! Russert eases up on Huckabee, Paul excluded from Fox News Forum, and now this!!!!!!! We must not stand by and let them do this!!!

Anyone who knows top notch lawyers in New Hampshire please PM me.

I just emailed Linda.

This Sunday is the best day before the primaries. It is irreplaceable.

The only solution I would now accept is they run it every day between now and the primary and they issue a full page apology for not running it today.

Other than that I assume this is not just an innocent mistake.

Here is the email I just got from Linda Lagana who placed the ad.

I'm back from the airport now. I'm livid. I think it's a strange coincidence that they just happened to what? Forget to run your essay?
I have a tracking number on the check I sent next-day, at the print shop. It's being checked out now.


There really is no excuse for this. This is the same newspaper that contacted me to run your essay again in the special primary section of the paper on Jan. 4th. I confirmed with him twice that we were all set for Sunday. He assured me we were. This is just m ore of the same BS to keep this message from getting out there. The Union Leader endorsed McCain. I'm sure somebody got paid off to make the "mistake" of not running you ad.

Trying to get an attorney to do anything before Tuesday is going to be a big problem. It would then be Wed. or Thurs. before they might get anything done.

You will be loosing valuable time. My suggestion is you pick up the phone and raise heck with them once you verify the check was there in time. Depending on what account you wrote the check on, you might be able to verify it was already cashed on line.

He added that the theme should be "What are they afraid of..."

I think we will have a BIG breakthrough on this now!!

Ozwest
12-30-2007, 10:20 AM
The first approach would be to negotiate replacement ads, on very generous terms. I've had half page ads for my business printed in the newspaper with one digit wrong in the phone number, and not been charged for the ad. The ad ran again for free.

In my case, I was a regular client. In llepards case he's getting the run-around.

Sure would be handy if you could get some quick legal advice before you negotiate.

It was great to talk to Dr. Paul and see that he does indeed understand and share our concerns about these incredible snubs that have absolutely no basis in fairness or reality. RP is at least 3rd or 4th in NH's bogus polls, and we all know that if we can get OUR OWN polling done before the NH primary that we can PROVE he is doing far better than that!

Please don't advocate violence .... ever.

Let's say you and a bunch of other angry gun-toting revolutionaries DO go out and attack some news outlet ( hypothetical suggestion: CNN headquarters in Atlanta ) and thanks to brilliant planning and execution you manage to wipe out every scumbag "personality" and all the executives and upper management. GREAT!!!

What would happen next?

Total police-state crack-down.

Martial law.

Suspension of any remaining Constitutional rights.

"Game" over. You lose. Everyone loses.


You cannot resort to violence. This HAS to be a peaceful revolution or it WILL fail.

Violence is the easy way out - non-violence requires brilliant strategy, "thinking outside the box", persistence, dedication, faith, will, heart....

We have all those things and we CAN win!

Anyone who knows top notch lawyers in New Hampshire please PM me.

I just emailed Linda.

This Sunday is the best day before the primaries. It is irreplaceable.

The only solution I would now accept is they run it every day between now and the primary and they issue a full page apology for not running it today.

Other than that I assume this is not just an innocent mistake.

Not if national HQ has their act together and has prepared the necessary paperwork, etc. for immediate recounts in suspicious precincts. This has been discussed at length on other threads. It can be done. But, it must be done IMMEDIATELY and before the vote is certified.

People need to be aware of how the system works and know about any steps they can undertake to protect their vote and how to keep an eye on what's going on

This is terrible news, Mr. Llepard. I completely agree with your assessment that a run in today's edition was irreplaceable; all of the people off from work, able to bomb through the paper and then tell their fellow New Year's party goers about Ron Paul.

It is not a black helicopter-esque statement to accuse the Union Leader of deliberately failing to run the ad. Frankly, it is the only logical assumption to make. Let us know if and when you want us to call and email these guys.

That may be so, but Pat Buchanan's experience (from his own mouth on C-SPAN a week ago) is that the numbers that are then sent to Des Moines and reported are often different. He commented that his own people in Dubuque and some of the other river towns were showing much higher results for himself than were eventually reported.

There is VIRTUALLY NOTHING being printed in the UK press

Andrew Sullivan, a supposed Ron Paul supported had an article about Iowa in the UK times this morning. There was NOT ONE SINGLE MENTION of Ron Paul in that article. If you post a message mentioning Ron Paul it will not get posted. My IP address has been blocked by The Times to prevent me posting any comments pertaining to the election

PEOPLE THIS IS WAR

The conspirators are going to prevent Ron Paul getting any exposure in the media and they will use election fraud to decimate the vote for Ron Paul in the primaries.


Someone needs to fully document all of the media abuses since this began around last May. I think we need to make a compelling case and consider class action against the government for influencing supposedly private media outlets.

1. Well, because if it was paid for by them, instead of by common citizens, it would be that much harder for us to get media to cover the results, and you know the MSM shills would harp on that point alone, and not even mention the results.

2. I am a meetup coordinator--one of the earliest, #17 in northern Maine. I was the leader of the cheering section that DOMINATED the pre-debate rally at St. Anselm's College in NH back on May 5th, and had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Paul afterwards. I am the guy in the black suit (and the red face...lol...) in the YouTube videos of that rally. I had to croak to Dr. Paul afterwards, as I could barely speak!

The Ad MUST run this Sunday to be effective. The paper receives the Ad and finds it to be a political piece in support of Ron Paul, who is running against their endorsed candidate. Come the Sunday of the Ad it dos not run?? I see so many things wrong with that I don't know where to start.

The problem is they can not make good (if the contract states the ad would run today) because today has already happened. Now his ad will run only a few short days before the primary (if they run it next week) and that does not give people that much time to find out who Ron Paul is or rediscover what he stands for.

Plus the Sunday paper will often be looked at throughout the week getting to more people. With it being run today, he had a weeks worth of people picking up the sunday paper and reading it. Printing the ad next week you only get a few days.

I was watching a video by G E Griffin talking about a cruise ship taken over by pirates (an analogy to the corporate takeover of America)

He said, one of the things that is a complete waste of time is petitioning these people. THEY DON'T CARE!

I repeat! THEY DON'T CARE

Petitioning is a "feel good" activity to keep you occupied.

Isn't it funny, I put out a couple of calls for a lawyer to come forward and help llepard with some advice with his ad.

If I would have asked for a harpsichord repairer or an aardvark trainer, or a 40 year old virgin, someone would have stood up by now...


Oz, an attorney did step up a couple of pages ago. He said if llepard went that route, there would be no resolution until it was way too late.

The sad thing about G. Edward Griffin is that as much reason as there seems to be to respect him--he turns out to be a GLOBALIST?! What the fuck?! Well....I WAS gonna post the youtube as evidence...but it's been removed. He talked to a crowd about how there should be a global government because governments do things that we couldn't do ourselves/understand, etc. It was disgusting. So was the antisemite dude that put it on youtube, though.

He was talking about a consitutionally bound world government with limited powers to help in global projects. philosophically, it makes sense... if its a individualist government, it would allow for great things...and insure freedom for ALL.

To take it out of context, or to say he endorsed a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT like we think of it today(ran by collectivist) would be misleading people about what he is talking about...
An international confederation bound by a strict constitution is not evil.

Agreed. We will be very careful about constructing the poll to OUR satisfaction, and I have some people who know a lot more about effective polling that I do advising me. Please do so as well...but let's find another means than this thread...

Thanks for your post!

I have all sorts of data and information regarding polling for alternative and unorthodox candidates, including sample questions to ask. If you are interested, please send me an email. Or you can google: rolf lindgren poll or polls

I have worked with Aaron Russo, Michael Badnarik, Ed Thompson (Tommy Thompson's brother), and Judge Jim Gray (California) on scientific polls, which can be used for publicity, fundraising, and market research.

THE CREED OF FREEDOM put together by G. Edward Griffon

INTRINSIC NATURE OF RIGHTS
I believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; that these rights are intrinsic to each individual, not granted by the state; for if the state has the power to grant them, it also has the power to deny them, and that is incompatible with personal liberty.
I believe that a just government derives its power solely from the governed. Therefore, the state must never presume to do anything beyond what individual citizens also have the right to do. Otherwise, the state is a power unto itself and becomes the master instead of the servant of society.

SUPREMACY OF THE INDIVIDUAL
I believe that one of the greatest threats to freedom is to allow any group, no matter its numeric superiority, to deny the rights of the minority; and that one of the primary functions of just government is to protect each individual from the greed and passion of the majority.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE
I believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law. I believe that social tranquility and brotherhood are better achieved by tolerance, persuasion, and the power of good example than by coercion of law. I believe that those in need are better served by charity, which is the giving of one's own money, than by welfare, which is the giving of other people's money through coercion of law.

EQUALITY UNDER LAW
I believe that all citizens should be equal under law, regardless of their national origin, race, religion, gender, education, economic status, life style, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment, regardless of the merit or popularity of its cause. To favor one class over another is not equality under law.

PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
I believe that the proper role of government is negative, not positive; defensive, not aggressive. It is to protect, not to provide; for if the state is granted the power to provide for some, it must also be able to take from others, and once that power is granted, there are those who will seek it for their advantage. It always leads to legalized plunder and loss of freedom. If government is powerful enough to give us everything we want, it is also powerful enough to take from us everything we have. Therefore, the proper function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens; nothing more. That government is best which governs least.

This ad comes out the same day the Telegraph endorses McCain for the GOP primary:

My parents are far from conspiracy cooks in-fact McCain is their #1 right now, but I told them about how the Ad was paid for & set, but not run and they both flat-out stated someone got paid off lol.

You don't just forget to run a full page ad, SOMETHING has to go in that spot. They broke contract and you deserve ample compensation, hopefully in the form of comp'd advertising. This is BY FAR the best ad spot you could possibly get, since people are still making up their minds, and you will never be able to recover the value of it.

However you should get fullpage ads all 5 weekdays and in next weeks sunday as well?

have enough space to abide by the law in running official campaign ads!

Secondly, The NH GOP officials need to get thier head out of thier ass and start dictating the format of the forums and debates. instead of taking orders from fox or any other media outlet

You can't tell me the NH GOP "the sponsors of events" can't not allow fox in the building to broadcast the event! They can they just don't have the balls to do it!

We are the most surveillanced people in the world apart from China.

The government keep electronic records of everything.....and lose them in the post once in a while so that criminal gangs have access to peoples' social security information, dates of birth etc etc

About half the working people in the UK are public service workers

Anything less, and it's go to the Judge for an emergency ruling time! Followed by a lawsuit. Yes, it would be too late for NH and most other primary states, but the winnings from such a lawsuit could go a long way later to some more public announcements about freedom, our loss of it, etc. in papers down the road.

You've raised a very interesting point here and that is the absense of local radio.

Radio bandwidth has always been very tightly regulated in the UK. It's much harder to set up a little local radio station. All stations are licenced and if you broadcast anything wide of the mark, they'll just cut you off. Game over there!

The internet has been staring the British people in the face for a decade but nobody has utilised it to get across an alternative political message successfully. So for example, we have UKIP, the United Kingdon Independance Party, who are trying desperately hard to reverse our entry into the United Socialist State of Europe. They are totally marginalized by the media, an occassional radio interview or a brief appearance on TV but not nearly enough exposure to get their message across. They could have used the internet much better, rather like the Ron Paul movement has but they have failed really. Mind you, it's pretty tough when you are up against a system designed to keep people dumb, drunk, entertained by shite on TV ad spending spending spending.

I had dinner with some friends last night. I haven't seen them for a year so I was keen to know how their son had been getting on at school.

He's failed all his exams

Not one pass

I have watched this kid grow up for 10 years. He is a bright kid, not stupid at all, he had great potential

The education system here is DESIGNED to make these kids fail.

That is the truth.........

Terrible isn't it? A tragedy, a criminal tragedy and such a waste.

Don't let America end up like the UK

Another thing.............

The British are incredibly arrogant people. They really still think we are top dog, culturally superior and just better than anyone else. A lot of people in the UK think all Americans are ignorant, McDonald munching, gun wielding psychopaths.

I've visited America a few times now, I lived around Philly for 3 months once and I am always pleasantly surprised how cultured, well educated and polite alot of people are over there.

Am am quite certain, there are enough of these people left in America to turn this situation around.

I have absolute confidence in the American people to save their country

Go for it people!

I am a retired lawyer but this is not my area of law so I cannot be of any use to you. I can tell you though, that lawyers rarely make things better. I suggest you get as much as you can from them right now and then sue later if you still can. Getting the ad in front of the most eyes I would think is more important than going after them.

I also suspect that the contract says, somewhere, we will try to run this on this day, but we cannot guarantee anything and if we mess up we are not liable for anything.

Although, I don't know anything about this area of law and have no idea if that is enough to get them out trouble or not.

Good luck with the name I gave you. Call quickly. Although, she did say she would be there all night, and she really wants to make it right. I don't know if she can, but she seemed to be "above" the ad desk person and could possibly have some influence here.

It appears that the newspaper and the NH GOP have embraced Fascism. "You will know them by their fruits". Earlier today I sent the following email to Fergus Cullen and a variation to several newspapers, including the New Hampshire newspaper:

Dear Fergus Cullen,

I copied the following from the Baltimore Sun:

"An official at the New Hampshire GOP, which is co-sponsoring the event with Fox, said that Paul might still be included, but the planning for the debate was still coming together and it was ultimately Fox's call".

"The Associated Press reported last week that the candidates participating in the 90-minute forum at St. Anselm College in Goffstown, N.H., will be Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. John McCain, Gov. Mitt Romney and Sen. Fred Thompson."

This is not Fox's call, this is your call. IMO, without the support of the NH GOP it will not go on. I hope that the debate will be canceled if Ron Paul is not included.

Sir, to deny Ron Paul the opportunity to attend the Fox network presidential debates on the 6th of January in NH is an attack on democracy. What are the neocons afraid of?

As you know, the MSM has blacklisted Ron Paul for the most part. He gets virtually no free face time on television and very little mention in the print media. When he does get free mention in the national media, it is usually an attempt to discredit and marginalize him.

Ron Paul recently made a statement that "Fascism will come wrapped in a flag carrying a cross". He is right on! Does the following look familiar?

Fascism: Various scholars attribute different characteristics to fascism, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, statism, militarism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to political and economic liberalism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism.

Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Regards

If you are advocating violence then you are not in any way helping Ron Paul get elected.

If I misunderstood then I'm sorry...

I agree, violence is not an option, Civil disobedience is. If and when the time comes we will need to get together and strategize. One of the first things would be to put together a legal team with funds to sustain it. We will need to follow the examples set by Gandhi.

Lawrence,

Feel free to call RP or Rand. RP seemed genuinely concerned about this, and I think he will urge the campaign for an appropriate response if the MLU has none.

Good luck and God bless!

This is a grassroots effort. The official campaign cannot get involved.

Okay guys, I wrote a letter to the paper and here's the response I got back:

We publish candidates' ads without regard to our editorial page opinions.
To do anything else would be unethical behavior and bad business. Both should be avoided!
I will look into this first thing tomorrow morning.

Nothing other than what's been posted. I would imagine Larry took the wise council and proceeded and is busy working out the details.

No posts is a good sign IMO. Probably means things are going in his favor.

It's probably a good time for all to chill and work towards garnering more support for Ron.

I'm sure the paper doesn't want the wrath of the "Ron Paul Nation" at their door like Fox News had.

The paper will make a wise decision. I doubt they've sold their soul. Although pressure from on high can be intense.

It would be too obvious towards malicious intent for the paper and the powers that be to not proceed in a fair manner at this point.

The paper is claiming it is an honest mistake. No surprise there.

They will run it tomorrow on Page A2. Tommorrow is not Sunday.

I am going to sleep on the matter.

But, my initial reaction is that one day is not going to satisfy me. I think I am going to continue with my original plan. Tomorrow I will be getting a lawyer involved.

We do not know if it was intentional or not, although my gut tells me it was.

I would really like to know what the deal is so I think I will keep pushing.

Good night. LWL

This may have already been brought up, but does the Monday paper have the same readership numbers as the Sunday? I doubt it. If the negotiated price was for a certain level of readership, then they owe you a partial refund or additional days.

I DEFINITELY would not settle for Monday only.

And...I would very much doubt it was an "honest mistake."

How many full page ads do they get that are this time sensitive? I bet they don't even get more than a few a year of that size.

I ain't buying this...

Bullchips!! They are following the plan already set in motion. Don't fall for it.

The paper ENDORSED McCain and then fails to print the Ron Paul Ad on Sunday which is a MUCH larger run. Now they offer you Monday (and a holiday at that) as the fallback?? WOW if they don't run that Ad next Sunday also its crap.

Be sure not to sue them though unless you're told there's clear evidence of misconduct. I don't think a suit would help anything if it's done automatically. Right now the mere threat of a suit may be enough for them to give you extra days.

I don't think anyone's falling for anything. The question is how to gain the most ROI possible at this point.

It wasn't an honest mistake, it was deliberate. But they are not above compensation in kind.

It's been quite obvious for some time that we battle with foes that don't fight fair.

We will win by being the more advanced warrior.

Messed up my arse!

FFS!!!!!!

JAYSUS! This is gonna get ugly. These bastards will stop at nothing. They'll steal Ron's votes for sure.

NO MORE MR NICE GUY.

We need to stop pussyfooting around here. They are stealing the election from under our noses and there are people on here saying 'post a letter' or 'phone so and so'

You are EXACTLY correct. This is not "dirty tricks". This is a concerted effort by the CIA controlled MSM to both smear and blackball Ron Paul. It's a full out assalt on liberty, the constitution and We the People. IT"S WAR. There is no way to take this too seriously. This is our freedom on the line. The CIA has assests all over the MSM, and elites own the whole shebang. These people are our ENEMIES.

JFK said: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable". I don't know anyone who wants a violent revolution, so everyone had better take this stuff seriously. We have to stop it, turn it around, or god knows what, before uglier scenarios become a reality.

maybe now we know how the cubans and chinese and others lined up the "elite" and filled them with lead. Is it that kind of a thing?? They eventually work their way around to building up that much hatred??

Let's hope that when the revolution does come to America that it has more integrity than indiscriminant killing and has some actual EVIDENCE to back it up....but alas it will turn to a "choose a side" type of conflict.

They are running the ad for monday morning but did they offer just compensation for honestly mistaking the ad date for monday instead of sunday?! This will tell you whether or not it was an honest mistake.

A mistake of this magnitude should yield the ad to be run this whole week, including next Sunday!!!

Thanks once again for doing this for the message of liberty, and for the USA Today paper you ran. I bought some of those that day to leave out in the break area where I work at. You truly are a patriot! It is a great thing when God blesses the right people with financial wealth. I'd be doing the EXACT same thing!

Please don't advocate violence .... ever.

Let's say you and a bunch of other angry gun-toting revolutionaries DO go out and attack some news outlet ( hypothetical suggestion: CNN headquarters in Atlanta ) and thanks to brilliant planning and execution you manage to wipe out every scumbag "personality" and all the executives and upper management. GREAT!!!

What would happen next?

Total police-state crack-down.

Martial law.

Suspension of any remaining Constitutional rights.

"Game" over. You lose. Everyone loses.


You cannot resort to violence. This HAS to be a peaceful revolution or it WILL fail.

Violence is the easy way out - non-violence requires brilliant strategy, "thinking outside the box", persistence, dedication, faith, will, heart....

We have all those things and we CAN win!

If they run it then too for free. Today was ideal with the holidays and all.

Families are gathered together ect - Much discussion of political topics - plenty of time to learn more about Ron

before the primary. Next Sunday's cutting it a bit tight with no family holiday discussions.

Not even as close to being ideal as today. Multiple immediate runs on consecutive days may help, (for free),

it may even generate more press and talk than a Sunday alone ad would have.

I think we need to press for the apology on top and free multiple runs, it will generate interest and discussion.

Thankyou.

I don't think the average american has any idea what it's like to live in the UK these days.

Petrol is about $11 a gallon

Over 50% of our income is robbed by the state

A small 2 bedroom flat where I live will cost you $400,000

There are armies of government snoopers who will spy on your property and your car

We are the most surveillanced people in the world apart from China.

The government keep electronic records of everything.....and lose them in the post once in a while so that criminal gangs have access to peoples' social security information, dates of birth etc etc

About half the working people in the UK are public service workers

The polarization of wealth has never been greater

We have had a bank failure, Northern Rock. The director is still in his job. He should be in jail.

Our politicians are totally corrupt and the media is owned.

The education system is in ruins and designed specifically to FAIL to EDUCATE people. IT IS DELIBERATE AND ENGINEERED TO TURN OUT ROBOTS who will spend their lives watching 200 channels of crap on TV, drink themselves into oblivion every night and keep on spending money on their credit cards like good obedient slaves. The British people are living in a cage and 99% of them don't even realize it.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't allow things in the USA to get as bad as they are here.

THANK YOU. I'm really pissed off about the people here who said you advocted violence. I know what you meant. Our country was born out of a revolution, for GODsake. What the hell is the matter with people around here? Do I need to post quotes from Alexander Solzhenitzen about how they lamented in the gulags NOT ACTING while they had the freedom to do so?

NOBODY here has advocted violence. The guy just mentioned keeping your guns available. Believe me, if total martial law comes, you'll be appreciative of what he said.

Who knows if this country will break out in a full scale rebellion? ANYTHING is possible. The Soviet Union dissolved overnight. We should be so lucky. What these NWO bastards usually like to do is more exemplified by Iraq or the former Yugoslavia.

It is not advocating violence to say stay alert, America. We also have a right to bear arms in this country. There is NOTHING wrong with talking about it. Some of you have been browbeaten by the stooges who are taking away our rights as we speak. They've got you afraid to even mention the fucking Bill of Rights!

Disgusting.

I've said it before, the powers that be need to realize that this is no longer the 1960's.

You've raised a very interesting point here and that is the absense of local radio.

Radio bandwidth has always been very tightly regulated in the UK. It's much harder to set up a little local radio station. All stations are licenced and if you broadcast anything wide of the mark, they'll just cut you off. Game over there!

The internet has been staring the British people in the face for a decade but nobody has utilised it to get across an alternative political message successfully. So for example, we have UKIP, the United Kingdon Independance Party, who are trying desperately hard to reverse our entry into the United Socialist State of Europe. They are totally marginalized by the media, an occassional radio interview or a brief appearance on TV but not nearly enough exposure to get their message across. They could have used the internet much better, rather like the Ron Paul movement has but they have failed really. Mind you, it's pretty tough when you are up against a system designed to keep people dumb, drunk, entertained by shite on TV ad spending spending spending.

I had dinner with some friends last night. I haven't seen them for a year so I was keen to know how their son had been getting on at school.

He's failed all his exams

Not one pass

I have watched this kid grow up for 10 years. He is a bright kid, not stupid at all, he had great potential

The education system here is DESIGNED to make these kids fail.

That is the truth.........

Terrible isn't it? A tragedy, a criminal tragedy and such a waste.

Don't let America end up like the UK

Another thing.............

The British are incredibly arrogant people. They really still think we are top dog, culturally superior and just better than anyone else. A lot of people in the UK think all Americans are ignorant, McDonald munching, gun wielding psychopaths.

I've visited America a few times now, I lived around Philly for 3 months once and I am always pleasantly surprised how cultured, well educated and polite alot of people are over there.

Am am quite certain, there are enough of these people left in America to turn this situation around.

I have absolute confidence in the American people to save their country

Go for it people!


I can verify what you've said because I used to post on a London chat site.

They were mostly 30 somethings, well "schooled" (read: Tavistock mind control), totally godless Darwinists, despise the US, called us "septics", are multiculturalist (as opposed US "melting pot"), Big Brother loving, mindless dupes.
