This speech was given in Oct. 2002 in opposition to the coming Iraq War.
It's rather ironic that politicians who work for a government that is in the red $28 Trillion are criticizing bankers for charging "overdraft fees." Shouldn't politicians be on the side of enforcing voluntary contracts, rather than advocating breaking them? America's broken monetary system is a major problem, but the problem lies in government granting monopoly powers to the banking industry. Shouldn't the major concern be the abolishment of those monopoly powers?
Despite overwhelming evidence that the vast majority of children do not become seriously ill or pass on the virus, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky testified before Congress yesterday that they must continue to wear their masks! Even as everyone else is taking masks off. Is this science...or a power trip? Or child abuse?
Why are the people who trespassed in the US Capitol Building on January 6th being detained for months in solitary confinement? Why have they been denied bail for mostly minor crimes? Why are they being held in particularly inhuman conditions despite for the vast majority no previous criminal charges? Is this justice...or political revenge? Also today: Press hypocrisy on Wuhan lab "conspiracy theory." And...some justice for Newsom's victims.
Just days after a formerly famous singer sent a Tweet encouraging more violence on Sen. Rand Paul, a package with a suspicious substance and a death threat was delivered to the Senator's house. Twitter has not banned or even restricted the violent Tweet...or others that followed it. Also today AOC is in therapy - you'll never guess why. BLM flags to hang at US Embassies overseas. Hypocrisy over Belarus forcing down plane over its airspace.

Imagination. This aspect of every individual's consciousness is capable of producing tremendous upside, as well as tremendous downside, depending on how it is used. An individual can look at a barren piece of land and imagine building a towering skyscraper on it. Where there is absolutely nothing but dry dirt, his imagination sees a magnificent structure that could produce tremendous value to many human lives. As long as this individual adheres to the TRUTH, his imagination has the potential of becoming a physical reality. The barren piece of land can someday hold up a skyscraper that is located nowhere but in his mind at the present moment. Our dreamer will need to first own the land and acquire it voluntarily. He cannot build on it if it's owned by someone else. The other owner may have completely different plans for it. So the first TRUTH involved is private property. The next truth will be voluntary exchange. Our builder will need architects, contractors; those who understand physics and mathematics. He will need laborers, plumbers, electricians, etc. The list is exhaustingly extensive. Everything has to be precise and correct down to the minutest detail. Build a skyscraper with a team of people who believe that 2+2=5 and it will never happen. Someone may get killed in the process from such fatal error. The moment that a single LIE creeps in, the entire skyscraper will come crashing down. Stick with the TRUTH, and it can become a startling reality. That which was first imagined in a single individual's mind, can shine in the physical world. When we each look out into our world, we notice that it is brimming with physical realities. Each and every one began in the imagination of some particular individual. These manifestations of imagination are today able to sustain the lives of 7+ billion people! Imagination in harmony with the TRUTH sustains human life. Now let us look at the other side of this imagination coin. Let's look at imagination that ignores the TRUTH, and that is based on FANTASY. What if our dreamer looked at the barren piece of land, and instead of imagining a skyscraper standing on it, he imagined it levitating 3 feet off the ground. Or let's say he imagined creating a jumping skyscraper that could hop from one piece of land to another. His imagination can surely produce these images. But they are pure FANTASY. They are detached from the TRUTH. FANTASY has its place in the human experience too. For example, it can simply be entertainment for the one thinking it. If the thinker has writing skills, he can create a novel and make a fortune entertaining others. If he can write a script, he may reach an even bigger audience and create a movie. If he's a musician, he can write a song that millions of people can sing along to, even though the entire song is based on pure FANTASY. But FANTASY can never be manifested in reality. Reality, as we've seen with our builder, is uncompromising when it comes to the TRUTH. There is absolutely no wiggle room. There are no loopholes, no workarounds, and no back-doors. Unfortunately, the fact that reality is strictly based on truth and not fantasy, presents a problem for many people. There are always utopians who seek to impose their FANTASY onto the rest of the world. And they inevitably seek to do it by force. Utopians inevitably gravitate towards power. They are attracted to government like moths to a flame. Government is by far the most popularly chosen tool in the fruitless and destructive quest to force a FANTASY onto the world of reality. When we look out into our world, we see an accumulation. We see the manifestation of thousands of years of human experience. We see the accumulation of knowledge and experience. An uncountable amount of trial and error has come before us. We see the accumulation of capital, savings, and technologies. We see moral traditions, cultural traditions, religious traditions, artistic traditions and political traditions. When we look out into our world, we are not seeing something that just 'popped-up'. It is an accumulation of thousands of years of human experience. Utopians see that this world of accumulation does not match to their FANTASY and immediately set out to destroy it. In their imaginations that is Job #1 -- Destroy. Utopians believe that after they destroy what is, they will build up their perfect-world FANTASY on top of the ashes. Their fantasy will just 'pop-up' by dictate. All who are on board with this FANTASY are considered to be on "the right side of history." All who rebel against it are termed "reactionaries," along with a laundry list of other derogatory names. "Reactionaries" are considered to be on the "wrong side of history" and are deemed the enemies of the 'pop-up' world that can never be built. During the 1900's, utopians came to power in major nations across the world. The results were as predictable as they were horrific. Hundreds of millions of individual human beings were sacrificed to bring about the FANTASY that could never come. Humanity experienced destruction on a scale that never happened before in all of history. If one thinks that the death of hundreds of millions would cause the utopians to (maybe) re-consider, one would be wrong. The FANTASY continues to the present day as if nothing had happened. And it almost literally JUST happened! The Berlin Wall fell just a few decades ago! But alas, utopians continue to destroy the world that they did not create, and that does not match up with their imaginary fantasy. In fact, no man (or group of men) created our world. It is an accumulation of that which has been built by every individual that has ever existed. Furthermore, every individual who lives today, adds his little piece to the accumulation. There was no blueprint. There can be no blueprint. There was no central plan. There can be no central plan. Utopians believe they have the plan for their 'pop-up' fantasy world, and every (other) human being will be forced to fit into it. This is all just in their imaginations. Utopians can (and do) destroy. That's the easy part. But utopians cannot build. Destruction is simple. Construction is not. That which is built, must be built in harmony with the TRUTH. Utopians seek to destroy that which is TRUE with a never-ending stream of LIES. The upside is that the fantasy 'pop-up' world can never happen. The downside is that the destruction in attempting to bring it about can (and does) happen. Imagination... This aspect of every individual's consciousness is capable of producing tremendous upside, as well as tremendous downside, depending on how it is used. Let's use our imaginations to build that which is true and real; and not destroy in the name of any fantasy.

In March, Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas would open for business 100 percent without a statewide mask mandate. The pro-lockdown “experts” were shocked. If a state as big as Texas joined Florida and succeeded in thumbing its nose at “the science” – which told us that for the first time in history healthy people should be forced to stay in their houses and wear oxygen-restricting face masks – then the lockdown narrative would begin falling apart. President Biden famously attacked the decision as “Neanderthal thinking.” Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa warned that, with this order, Abbott would “kill Texans.” Incoming CDC Director Rochelle Walensky tearfully told us about her feelings of “impending doom.” When the poster child for Covid lockdowns Dr. Fauci was asked several weeks later why cases and deaths continued to evaporate in Texas, he answered simply, “I’m not sure.” That moment may have been a look at the man behind the proverbial curtain, who projected his power so confidently until confronted with reality. Now a new study appearing as a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper, highlighted recently in Reason Magazine, has found “no evidence that the reopening affected the rate of new COVID-19 cases in the five-week period following the reopening. ...State-level COVID-19 mortality rates were unaffected by the March 10 reopening." In other words, not only did the doom and gloom predicted by the lockdown fanatics fail to materialize, but the steady, seasonal downward trend of the virus toward extinction continued regardless of government action. As we have repeated for a year on the Liberty Report, the virus was going to virus regardless of anything we did about it. And Texas proved it. However, some very important questions remain to be answered as the Covid panic across the United States is finally starting to recede. First, will anyone be held responsible for the thousands who died because of the prohibition on safe treatments such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin that have since been shown to be effective against Covid-19? As soon as Donald Trump mentioned that hydroxychloroquine might be effective against the virus, the “experts” circled the wagons. It was banned for use, until it later was quietly un-banned. The politicization of medicine is anti-science, anti-human, and anti-American. Will those who needlessly died due to this politicization finally get their justice? Second, though Abbott deserves credit for taking the bold step, shouldn’t he be held accountable for closing the state in the first place? After all, when someone has been punching you in the face and then they stop, do you thank them for letting up or do you ask why they punched you in the first place? Will all the tyrannical rule-by-decree orders across the United States be stricken from the books? Or will they just be allowed to do this again for any reason they choose? Third, thanks to Senator Rand Paul, we are now all aware of Dr. Fauci’s role in funding gain-of-function research on viruses in China. Will we be able to find out exactly why we are being forced to pay for the mad scientist research into how to create more deadly viruses? Can we opt-out of this funding? Though Greg Abbott deserves much criticism for shutting Texas down, his re-opening decree effectively ended Covid tyranny across the country. We are thankful for that. Now we must resolve to never let this happen again.
A new study has suggested that man's best friend is 90 percent accurate in sniffing out people infected with the coronavirus. The New York Times reported last year that the PCR test widely used currently may be reporting 90 percent false positives! So why aren't dogs being used? Is it because they cannot be manipulated like the tests can be? Also today, Fauci does another flip-flop - this time on the origin of the virus. And more from the hypocrite hall of shame...
The Fed, politicians and their crony corporate friends persistently manipulate the dollar and U.S. economy to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else. Prices are meant to relay economic truth to everyone. Instead, because of Fed and government interventions, prices relay lies. Ultimately, economic distortions become so intense that the entire economic house of cards comes tumbling down.
The Pentagon is denying reports in The Intercept from earlier this week that it is contracting with outside firms to monitor the social media postings of US soldiers to weed out "extremism" in the ranks. Is "white nationalism" really a problem in the military, or is this an attempt to purge those not adhering to the emerging cultural Marxism and "woke-ism" that is plaguing the country? Also today: Uniformed US soldiers giving the covid jab at bars? Mayor Lori "Racist" Lightfoot. And Ted Cruz goes "Russiagate" conspiracy theorist...
