RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT
If you have not been reading our weekly Unfiltered News or visiting the Freedom Force web site, you may have missed the fact that Freedom Force and The Reality Zone are 100% percent in support of Ron Paul for President in 2008. We have created a special section on our site where you can keep abreast of the most important campaign developments and opportunities to participate. I urge to take a few minutes right now and review the postings that already are there, particularly the information about Ron Paul’ s stunning victories in the Presidential debates in California and South Carolina. It will be hard to marginalize a candidate who, in the recent ABC poll, received 85% approval compared to only 1% from the nearest contender. Yes, you read that right: a ratio of 85 to 1. Go to the site and check it out – and be prepared in the months ahead to actually DO something to help us put Ron Paul into the White House. See: www.freedom-force.org/redir_ronpaul.cfm.

THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES
 How politicians use fear to legitimize expansion of power
At the end of this analysis are links that will allow you to see a series of documentary programs first broadcast over BBC on January 18, 2005. It contained information considered to be politically incorrect inside the United States, which is to say that it was never broadcast there. It is a scathing look at how U.S. and British political leaders have relied on nightmarish visions of external enemies to legitimize their expansion of power.

There are good and not-so-good elements in this series. Let’s start with the not-so-good. The writers have an obvious blind spot to the totalitarian and aggressive nature of the Soviet empire. It is true that, during the Cold War, Western leaders maximized and occasionally exaggerated the threat of Communism to enhance their own image of being white knights in a moral crusade against the forces of evil, and this series illustrates that point very well. However, it is not true that the Soviet threat was entirely fabricated for that purpose. It was very real and, I must add, continues to be real today under the deceptive guise of social democracy. Leninism continues to be a formidable global force. In this series, however, you will be assured that Communism was never a real threat to the West and that, today, it is entirely dead.

In a similar vein, the writers present former Soviet leaders, such as Mikhail Gorbachev, as wise and high-minded statesmen struggling against the cunning, war-mongering leaders of the Western World. This bias must not be ignored, because it reveals that the producers of this series are far from objective and are, in fact, apologists for Leninist regimes.

Bias to the Left shows up again in the depiction of political figures within the United States. We are told that President Clinton was innocent of all the charges against him for sexual harassment, the Whitewater scandal, protecting drug smuggling operations in Mena, Arkansas, and complicity in the murder of Vince Foster. All of these allegations, we are told, were the work of Right-Wing character assassins.

It gets even more bizarre. The program portrays Henry Kissinger and George Bush, Sr., as “liberals” working to bring peace to the world but gradually losing ground to the Neocons who seek war and power. There in no mention of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Rockefeller connection, the New World Order, or the underlying ideology of collectivism that drives both the Leninists and the Neocons.

As a final straw, the series uncritically accepts and perpetuates the Neocon version of 9/11, that it was engineered entirely by a small band of terrorists with no outside assistance.

Having said all this, you probably are wondering why I would recommend anyone taking the time to watch these programs. The answer is that, even though they are seriously flawed and biased, there is much truth in the mix. Over the years I have found a great deal of valuable information from sources that were biased. For example, when researching the history of the German cartel called I.G. Farben, which was the origin of the modern pharmaceutical industry, I found the greatest wealth of information from authors who were ideologically aligned with the Soviets. They were motivated to expose the nefarious deeds of German industry under the Nazis. If they had not done the research, it is possible that the sanitized German version would have been the only surviving historical record.

The danger in this is that one may fall prey to propaganda, so it is important to take everything with a grain of salt and withhold judgment until facts can be double checked and confirmed from multiple sources, especially those that are from an opposite perspective.

It is with that caveat that I urge anyone seeking to really understand modern history to view these programs. You need to be aware of the producers’ Leftist bias, but you also will discover a deep truth about how modern politicians (including those on the Left and within Islam) use fear and high ideals to manipulate their followers into passionate support. When you finish, your political naivety will be lost forever.

The following links will take you, first, to an announcement from BBC explaining the series, followed by links to the three parts of the series.

NEWEST ARRIVALS

PSYCHIATRY; AN INDUSTRY OF DEATH
Documents the history of psychiatry from its beginnings in the 18th Century as a fringe industry housing the disfigured and retarded souls of society to where it is now, a deeply corrupted marketing arm of the pharmaceutical companies. The goal is to make everyone dependent on psychotropic drugs supposedly to control mental disorders (such as ADD and Shyness Syndrome) that do not even exist. When psychiatry and totalitarian governments join forces, dissidents can be imprisoned, medicated, and given shock torture (called therapy) to “cure” their dissent. It will take a grass-roots awakening to dismantle this evil mechanism. Acquire this video, show it to your friends, and help create that awakening. (More)

HACKING DEMOCRACY
This HBO documentary nails the coffin of electronic voting machines. Follow investigative reporters and their hidden cameras as they probe the deep secrets of how computerized voting systems are designed to be hacked. You will see computer programmers walk up to systems that their manufacturers claim are tamper proof and, with only a few keystrokes on the computer, switch votes from one candidate to the other with no evidence left behind.

BUILDING WELLNESS WITH DMG to combat Cancer, Autism, and Cardiovascular Disease. G. Edward Griffin says: "DMG is an important nutrient for health and longevity; yet unknown to the general public. Its properties were identified by Ernst Krebs, Jr., the discoverer of Laetrile. I have taken DMG daily since1972." (More)

SALT YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
A low-salt diet is good for you if you have high-blood pressure. WRONG! Says Dr. Brownstein. Here are the reasons for his view. He shows the errors that led early researchers to believe that low salt intake would reduce blood pressure and then presents studies showing a 400% increase in heart attacks among hypertension patients on a low-salt diet. He also shows the value of unrefined salt in combating Thyroid and Adrenal disorders. (More)

THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING
Here is the hard scientific proof that:
♦ The Earth has been hotter than it is now.
♦ Only a tiny portion of greenhouse gases are man-made.
♦ Most of Antarctica is getting colder.
♦ The media only recently abandoned the "global cooling" scare.
♦ Global warming has not made hurricanes worse.
Here are the facts to counter the global warming junk science that is being used to scare people into accepting the expansion of government. (More)

LIBERTATEMS are one-ounce pure-silver
medallions minted by Freedom Force.
Each medallion features eight symbols illustrating the ideological concepts of individualism as expressed in The Creed of Freedom. For an explanation of this symbolism, click here. Libertatems are a storehouse of value, a hedge against inflation, a work of art, and a teaching aid to popularize the laws of liberty. (More)
