Only a few days ago I attended a community meeting here in the Flathead Valley of Montana which revolved around the first of a series of gubernatorial debates covered by webcast across the state. The number of Republican candidates vying in the primaries of this election is a bit absurd, and after witnessing the half-hearted or outright fake performances by most of them, I can see quite clearly that the state of Montana is being targeted by Neo-Con interests posing as Constitutionalists in an attempt to neutralize the extraordinary advance of the Liberty Movement here. What struck me most sharply was the fact that almost every candidate competing for the governor’s slot had taken on elements of the Liberty Movement philosophy. The elections of 2012 and the immense success of the Ron Paul campaign have so far proven without a doubt that the anti-globalist, anti-totalitarian, anti-collectivist stance is now part of a growing majority in America. Just as we have forced Neo-Con candidates in the Presidential primaries to at least pretend that they care about freedom (quite a change from the Bush years), so too are Republican impostors forced to mimic us in the battle for state offices.
With so many political candidates now at the very least paying lip-service to the concepts of Constitutional freedoms, limited Federal influence, and State’s rights, it may become increasingly difficult for voters to discern who is a snake-oil peddler and who is the real deal. Many who supported the rise of the Tea Party (originally launched by Ron Paul back in 2007-2008), suddenly found their efforts for a free America being hijacked by establishment fakes in 2010. Out of nowhere, gutter dwelling pro-globalist imposters like Rick Santorum could be found headlining forums at Constitutional rallies, and even veteran globalists like Newt Gingrich have tried to jump on the bandwagon.
The light at the end of the tunnel, though, is ironically visible in the destructive nature of these candidates.
The NDAA, despite the inherent horror of its provisions, has been a spectacular litmus test for traitorous politicians. Self-styled liberty candidates like Allen West of Florida, winning with Tea Party support, have been exposed because of their backing of the NDAA. Shockingly, West not only voted for the NDAA, but helped to COMPOSE the bill! Now, due to a growing public outcry over the rendition and indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA, legislators like West are scrambling to cover their own asses by knowingly misinterpreting the bill’s language and denying it applies to American citizens:
Three amendments to the NDAA were put forward by senators Udall, Paul, and Feinstein, specifically designed to ensure that American citizens would be protected from the draconian detainment provisions of the NDAA, and all three were struck down. Yet, Allen West and others continue to perpetuate the lie that Americans are safe from such tyranny.
Exposure after the fact is better than nothing, but these difficult days require more vigilance. How can the people of this country avoid making the mistake of voting for such disingenuous candidates when they seem so adept at telling us what we want to hear until they are comfortably in office?
The key is to stop listening to what they SAY, and start looking closely at what they DO. We must ignore their rhetoric, their speeches written by proxy, and their bad jokes slapped together by hired staff, and begin examining their actions and their backgrounds. Because the Liberty Movement has gained so much influence and so much voice over the past four years, it is time that we start setting some ground rules for political candidates we will accept, and those we will not accept, to represent us.
We need to ask ourselves, and them, some very pointed questions. How have they consistently voted in the past? Are they truly protecting our rights as Americans and as a human beings as described in the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights? Have they done anything to stall or dismantle corruption in the government and in the banking industry? Or, have every one of their propositions and “solutions” involved the continuation of destabilizing policies designed to aid an elite few at the expense of average Americans? The following is a list of warning signs that can help you, your family, and your friends, no matter what their party affiliation, in determining if a favorite politician is a legitimate statesman, or a puppet bought and paid for by global corporate interests…
1) Have They Ever Promised To Investigate, Audit, Or Dissolve The Private Federal Reserve Bank?
The Federal Reserve is the primary culprit in the creation of the derivatives and credit bubble. Its use of artificially low interest rates inflated the housing market and by extension the U.S. economy, energizing international banking fraud and producing perhaps the greatest financial black hole in history. It is currently staving off the effects of this collapse through the constant printing of fiat money from thin air, setting up the U.S. for a currency implosion of epic proportions.
If your candidate has never made more than a passing sound bite comment on the Federal Reserve and what they plan to do about the poisonous debt and dollar devaluation that the private central bank has generated, then it is likely they are either too ignorant to understand how the institution operates, or, they know full well the problem, and plan to do nothing about it. Ask directly any politician you plan to vote for; will they promise to fully audit and or shut down the Federal Reserve, especially if foul play or corruption is discovered? If they defend the Fed, or dance around the question, then they are not on your side, nor on the side of true free markets and a stable economy.
2) Did They Vote For The Banker Bailouts? Do They Continue To Defend Them?
If a candidate or representative voted for or openly supports the continuance of bailout measures for international banks which taxpayers must eventually cover, then this politician is not for you. The bailouts have accomplished nothing that was promised by the Bush Administration, the Obama Administration, or state representatives who gave a platform for their passage. Credit markets have not been unfrozen, the housing market has not stopped its endless decline, and consumer activity has not returned to levels anywhere near those of 2006. Nearly 80% of Americans on both sides of our twisted two party spectrum voiced opposition to the bailouts and have continued to fight against quantitative easing measures on the part of the Federal Reserve. This is not a case of our government knowing better for us than we do for ourselves. This is a case of the government ignoring the will of the people and serving the interests of select elites. If you plan to support a man or woman running for elected office, make absolutely sure they are not proponents of further bailouts and inflationary printing for the sake of propping up big banks, foreign institutions, and the highly manipulated stock market.
3) Do They Support The Domestic Spying Measures Of The FISA Act And The Dissolution Of The 4th Amendment?
Any politician who has the audacity to argue that you must sacrifice your privacy and your liberty for “safety” is not on your side, or the side of the Constitution. The 4th Amendment strictly prohibits illegal search and seizure of a citizen’s property without a warrant and without probable cause, and this includes your personal information and communications. However, over time, the protections of the 4th Amendment have been slowly eroded away. Today, almost every aspect of our lives is an open book for the government to peruse at their slightest convenience.
With the advent of new measures executed through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, no electronic transfer of data is safe, and corporate entities which handle these communications are completely immune from civil suits involved in the release of private information. Under FISA, and under any act which authorizes mass surveillance of the public, every citizen is treated as guilty until proven innocent. This is not Constitutional. If your candidate has his hands into FISA or other pieces of legislation that open the door to domestic spying, drop them like a bad habit, or find yourself in deep regret later down the road.
4) Do They Support The NDAA, SOPA, PIPA, The AUMF, The Expatriation Act, Etc.?
The fascinating thing about the response by legislators to the fury over the NDAA is that they now refuse to acknowledge that the bill actually pertains to American citizens. This tells me they are afraid to confront those opposed to the bill on the grounds that indefinite detention and suspension of Habeas Corpus is necessary. Arguments from men like Allen West (or Denny Rehberg here in Montana) revolve around one line in the bill from Sec. 1022 which they use completely out of context:
1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
What they consistently refuse to explain is the word “requirement” in this line. If they were to place the line in the context of all the provisions involving indefinite detainment, the word “requirement” pertains to foreign prisoners that fall under the definition of “covered persons” in Sec. 1021 (a covered person could essentially be anyone the government decides to accuse of being a terrorist). So, to put this as simply as possible; the government and the U.S. military is “required” under the NDAA to indefinitely detain without jury trial those foreign prisoners designated as enemy combatants or terrorists. The government is NOT required to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens under the NDAA, but THEY CAN IF THEY WANT TO! This precedent was set by the passage of the Authorization For The Use Of Military Force (AUMF), and was further strengthened (not obstructed as some propagandists claim) by the Supreme Court’s decision in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. The NDAA gives the highly unconstitutional practice the Congressional stamp of approval.
With the NDAA, Americans must adopt a scorched earth policy before it is too late. Every single sitting legislator that supports this bill must be removed from office. Every political candidate running this year who proclaims support for the NDAA should be avoided like a plague ridden corpse. SOPA, PIPA, the Expatriation Act, and other pieces of legislation operate on the same principle as the NDAA; they create a grey area within the law that allows government to accuse any person of a crime without evidence and inflict punishment without due process. If we allow political vampires who nurture these measures into seats of power, then America ceases to be. Without our liberties and the means to protect them, our country becomes nothing more than a doomed land mass devoid of principles or honor.
5) Do They Have Overt Ties To The Military Industrial Complex?
The last thing this nation needs is another ‘chicken hawk’ candidate thirsty for war in far off lands as long as he doesn’t ever have to do any of the actual fighting. However, what we need even less are candidates who have made their livings and their careers dispensing war for quick cash. In Montana, it is disconcerting to be confronted with the likes of Neil Livingstone, who gave audiences a brief chuckle when he claimed that he would like to reintroduce the gray wolf to Washington D.C. instead of Montana to see how they liked it. Very funny, but if the audience really knew Livingstone’s history, they wouldn’t be laughing.
Livingstone’s background in private mercenary warfare and Blackwater-like businesses leaves a bad smell in the air, not to mention his attempt to lobby for Gaddafi and make a buck or two (or ten million) off the NATO debacle unleashed in Libya:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2063465/Revealed-How-US-mercenaries-offered-Gaddafi-10m-deal-flee-Libya.html
All that aside though, this “terrorism expert” suddenly decides to move back to Montana just last year, taking a break from his lucrative war driven wheeling and dealing, to enter the race for governor? Should I not be at least a little suspicious? In the meantime, his running mate, Ryan Zinke, a former Navy SEAL whose unit purportedly went on to “kill Bin Laden”, is now visiting Montana election meet-ups dressed in the most insincere cowboy costume I have ever laid eyes on complete with ten-gallon hat and giant gold belt buckle with “Montana” etched in bold letters, as if to say “hey ya’ll, I’m just like you!” At the end of the meeting I attended, Zinke suggested that Montana solve its employment issues with “predator drone factories” (of course). As he left, he actually exclaimed “go predator drones!”
Bottom line, whether you are dealing with presidential candidates, or state candidates, a record of getting into bed (and into business) with the military industrial complex is probably not a good sign that the representative will respect civilian rights or the Constitution. Certainly, he will say that he loves liberty, but by being instrumental in the spread of globalism, he has proven otherwise, and is not to be trusted.
6) Does It Feel Like They Are Just Telling You What You Want To Hear?
Every candidate at the first gubernatorial debates in Montana was quick to use the words “states rights”, at least when it came to the EPA and resource development. Livingstone even served up a vague threat of arresting federal representatives who cross into Montana (which, oddly, doesn’t seem to have the same bite after learning his background). However, only one candidate, Bob Fanning (and running mate Chuck Baldwin) was willing to put himself on the line, promising to nullify federal incursions into Montana, protect medical marijuana, build a state sponsored militia (as the Constitution demands), deny the socialist doctrines of Obamacare, and insulate Montana’s economy using decentralized methods and legitimate free markets.
The difference between Fanning and the other candidates was evident after hearing his goals and solutions. Their plans were broad, and dubious. His were direct and decisively outlined. Their stances against Federal encroachment felt hollow, or deceitful, while Fanning’s resolve was absolute. Sometimes, intuition is as good a measure of a candidate as factual research. If your gut is telling you the man in front of you is a fake, it may be wise to ponder the thought for a moment.
7) Where Are They Getting Their Money From?
In the 2012 presidential elections, only one candidate is raising the majority of his funds from average citizens instead of corporate backers. Only one candidate has received a majority support from active serving military. Only one candidate has done all of this through grassroots methods, despite being relentlessly attacked or ignored by the mainstream media. Of course, I’m talking about Ron Paul.
If global banking interests are pumping their donations into a particular candidate’s campaign, that candidate should be automatically categorized as unelectable. Sadly, this is not how our world works right now. “Follow the money” should be the first rule of the American voter. If Mitt Romney, for instance, is being backed by the exact same corporate financiers as Barack Obama, then one should be led to question whether or not there is absolutely any difference between them. Apparently, global banks don’t seem to think so, so why should you?
If elitists refuse to spend a single penny on a specific candidate, then it is a sure bet that candidate is a threat to the status quo, and therefore, should be on the top of your list as a potential representative.
In the end, it will be difficult if not impossible to change this country in the midst of the current political climate. This means that the climate must evolve or be done away with completely. I believe 2012 may be our last chance to establish a governmental environment conducive to freedom. If we fail to educate ourselves and others on the warning signs listed above, then political options will disappear. We will be left with no other choice but a violent and prolonged conflict with those who would demolish American Constitutionalism. Perhaps this is inevitable regardless of election results, but the fact remains that we must try every other available avenue first.
I have never been a fan of politics, but I know that this is only because the system now in place is constructed to discourage me, and everyone else, from trying to make a difference. Playing by the rules of the establishment system is useless, but there are other roads we might take. We can, indeed, make our own rules, and start a new game on more even ground, as long as we find the right candidates, cast off agents of distraction, and at the very least, attack the issues at a local level with every ounce of strength we have. Putting a Constitutional candidate like Ron Paul into the Oval Office, though excitingly possible, will not be enough. We must also pursue the same standards in our states, and draw a line in the sand around our respective communities.
Even with rigged electronic voting, media manipulation, and political co-option, I feel our efforts this year will resonate for many decades to come. Whether we are able to take back social power for regular citizens is not as important as making them aware that they have allowed themselves to lose that power in the first place. The elections of 2012, ultimately, should be treated as a vehicle for enlightenment, and this enlightenment begins when we are able to recognize the lies we live, and the men who sell them to us…

Thank you for this article Brandon.
I have been in sales for many years and have trained salespeople to understand the power of words and their ability to manipulate and convince. Whether it is the stage show of the debates or the very subtle insertion of "required" in the NDAA we need to stop only listening to there stump speeches and actually investigate the facts. This is the 21st century and the common man in America has more access to information than ever before in human history.
I am glad you brought up the Livingstone....coincidentally a friend of mine rents a property from Zinke and several weeks ago brought him up and asked my opinion. At the time I was not yet familiar with their gubernatorial bid and told my friend I would research and get back to him. I literally had to spend but 10 minutes online to discover Livingstone's ties to the MIC as a security and terrorism expert as well as Zinke's Seal Team 6 connections. Needless to say I called my friend back and advised him not to vote for a Blackwater type DC insider and his black ops partner.... The truth is out there. We need to find it and expose it to the light of day..

So, if you are actually mentally capable, please explain what part of my analysis is incorrect. Its sad when ignorant die hard fans of bad politicians defend them without even thinking. Don't just call me names like a four year old, show me how I'm wrong! Please! I wish somebody would have the guts to enter into a rational debate with me on the NDAA.
Also, I don't know if you noticed, because you don't seem to be the clear thinking type, but I am a traditional conservative, not a liberal. Are you that brainwashed by the false left/right paradigm that you can't distinguish between different political methodologies anymore?

It's very sad that libs get angry when someone brings up NDAA. You'd think they'd be upset too, but it's as if only liberals are allowed to defend civil liberties, and if they didn't get there first, then it's not an important issue.
It's also sad that some defend it, merely because they think the critics are overreacting.

George Orwell nailed it in his '1984', with all the seemingly absurd names for agencies and laws, but it's true! These power-seekers *co-opt* terms and concepts, corrupt them such that the average thinker is left confused and easily led along.
Ayn Rand wrote about 'stolen concepts': how someone arguing 'how do you know life is not a dream?' or 'how do you know you're not dead already?' basically steals the axiomatic elements of 'wakefulness' and 'life' (respectively) to make their 'argument(s).' But the average Joe and Jane are not critical thinking types, and are so easily undermined and misled.
Brandon is dead on, as usual. We need to focus on substance, not style; action, not words.

These are great considerations. My first question these days, with any piece of legislation, is "who benefits"? Generally, it's never the people, and quite frequently it's the multi-national banks. Yay, just what we need even more of.
It amazes me the continual stream of Constitution busting we've in the last five years (or even ten). I hear people say that people deserve the government they get, but less and less agree with this. It's becoming obvious that our government has been hi-jacked by the interests of the extreme few, the unelected, and those who grow wealthy with (legal) bribes. Yes, you can throw out one joker, but another will replace him, and almost all get lifetime benefits galore.
Nice work, if you can get it.

I've been a Libertarian for at least 20 years but I never really knew it until 2008 when Ron Paul woke me from my political apathy. I learned it's "globalist" and "non-globalist", like Rockefeller said "it doesn't matter who you vote for, you're still voting for us"
But there are people who actually believe Obama is the greatest President ever, so there is a REAL chance that Ron Paul won't get elected.

Max Keiser and one of his interviewees explained NDAA best by shedding light on those behind this insidious law. The same corporate goons who have crashed and pillaged our economy are scared, We the People, will come looking for them in an 'occupy' kind of way...and they're right, we will. But these miscreants are now in control of the military and wish to insulate (hide) themselves behind them. For one, there isn't enough military in the country to stop the armed populous of the United States. Second, most of the military will not obey illegal orders designed to kill off American citizens in order to stop them from setting the record straight. So while these "mafia" types think they have a handle on their despicable way of life, they will soon be disappointed. While they will stop at nothing to save their sorry asses, the credibility of their laws will dissolve faster then that of their fiat currency. Civil war?....no...there won't be anything "civil" about this kind of war.

My fellow men and women. What we know is only half of what we should know. I am saddened to see the ignorance of those who claim to be awake.
I remember an instance deep in the jungle when a sergeant was on night watch. He dozed off and an enemy patrol walked right through our position. When the smoke cleared the young sergeant claimed it was one of his privates who let the enemy in our perimeter.
True: The privates were all asleep because the young sergeant himself slept through his watch and failed to wake them up to take watch.
The moral of the story. If you are asleep when you should be up, it really does not matter who is at fault when you wake up to AK-47's in your faces.
We are in that same predicament. Our law enforcement is asleep when they should be awake, our educators and our elected officials are all asleep. All our people have fallen asleep and let the enemy in our gates. We know have to deal with it. Fight our way through it.
The Truth: We really and sadly do deserve to be severely punished as a nation. It is hard for me to say that especially when I look at small innocent children and know they too will suffer in the future.
But with 50,000,000 children already slaughtered for the pleasure of those who despise GOD and freedom and beckon in with the horrors’ nightmarish witchcraft human sacrifices that we now know has become our doom.

Be very careful of what you wish for. I can tell you, the globalists are, themselves, VERY INTERESTED in getting back to a gold standard. That's because they already control most of it.
Their plan is to crash the Euro and the Dollar and move to a one world currency... probably the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SPR's), although they'll probably change the name of it. Then, they'll tie it to gold... but the elite will be the only ones holding much of it.
The real solution, and another way you can tell the phonies from the real thing, is to ask them how they feel about competing currencies. With competing currencies, gold and silver being one of them, those who control the printing presses are kept more honest. It allows the world to know instantly which currencies are solid and which are not.
Beware the politician, who pushes only the gold standard. It's a manipulation.

What I heard rep. West read right out of the act itself is just the opposite of what Smith is saying. Plus he gives himself away right away by lauding Fenstein trying to get something removed that was never there to begin with. But hey, go to p-657 out of the NDAA and read it yourself.
Brandon Smith can turn a word better than I, but I'm not buying what he says
written by Brandon Smith , January 28, 2012
@Richard Peck
Yes, West read the line straight from the bill, and then blatantly misinterpreted it. Also, why would three separate Senators try to remove provisions for citizen detainment if they don't exist? Are you listening to yourself?
You can't just cherry pick one line from the NDAA without putting it in the context of what the ENTIRE BILL SAYS. You also have to look at the tricky language inherent in the line West ignorantly (or deliberately) misuses. I honestly couldn't care less whether you "buy" what I am saying or not. The facts are right there in black and white in the bill.
Read the entire bill, then come back and we'll talk. Otherwise, you are just another idiot taking what a hack politician like West says on blind faith.

"gutter dwelling pro-globalist imposters like Rick Santorum"???
Ok Brandon, I realize that Santorum advocates top down government from the Federal level which immediately tells me that he doesn't understand the intent of the founding fathers, nor does he understand how a nation like ours loses its independence and freedom as a result; but could you elaborate on the "gutter dwelling" part of your statement? Maybe I missed something in my initial assessment. Rick Santorum wants to hold himself up as the Pro-Life candidate and that would be believable except for the fact that it was the very Federal government that he espouses as dictating to the states that gave us the Roe vs. Wade decision murdering 60 million babies in the first place. The same type of gay marriage travesty is being forced upon the states from Federal courts as well. If it weren't for the hypocrisy of this Federal power attitude he has, I probably wouldn't have entertained your characterization of Rick in this manner or asked you to explain yourself. I would have just written you off as a loose pen on the gun deck. So I'm listening. Where do you get off on calling Santorum "a gutter dwelling globalist?"
written by Brandon Smith , January 29, 2012
@Jay
Santorum ranks negative on every single one of the indicators listed in the article above, but if that's not "enough" for you, how about the fact that he's been on the CREW's most corrupt members of Congress list for 2005 and 2006. In 2005, only three senators were corrupt enough to make the list (you have to be pretty dirty to be listed), and Santorum was one of them.
Or, how about the fact that Santorum ran for office in PA even though he never lived there! He purchased a home and lied about his residency, then sued people who claimed he did not live in the home on the grounds that the only way they could know this is if they trespassed on his property.
Shall I go on...?
Santorum used $100,000 in state funds earmarked for PA schoolchildren to spend on his own kids alone.
He supports presidential directives used by the Obama administration for the assassination of American citizens, even though he claims to be a devout Christian and against the sin of murder.
He consistently gives incentives to corporations that have slipped funding into his campaigns, so much so that he has been investigated for ethics violations because of his "special favors".
Santorum was involved in the same charity that purported to help troubled juveniles in PA that ended up being exposed nationwide as a haven for pedophilia that involved such "beloved" PA heroes as Jerry Sandusky. Santorum even gave Sandusky a "Congressional Angels in Adoption Award" AFTER investigations had begun into his molestation hobbies.
So, to answer your question, Jay, THAT'S where I get off calling Santorum a gutter dwelling globalist. This list could go on for pages but if you haven't grasped the point by now, you never will. Only a complete dullard would look at the man's record and argue otherwise. Instead of asking me what the problem is with Santorum, next time get off your lazy ass and research for yourself. Half of America, like you, has decided to fumble and lounge about instead of doing the hard work necessary to educate yourselves, and frankly, those of us who are aware are not going to carry you along for much longer...

If you value freedom and want to fight the good fight for liberty in America you are going to have to make a strong political stand and no better place to make it then there in Montana. You only live once and history is written by the victors, I want to win. So let's all move to Montana, or at least visit during the election months and put freedom down in ink in the November 8th elections. Let us show these freedom hating bastards who has more will. Let us band together, brother and sisters, children of liberty and show these tyranny lovers that they need more than money and lies to enslave us.
No more next year mentality folks. No more I guess crap. Get into the fray, fight this fight. If we look around us and realize that there is more than 15 million of us willing to fight this fight, who could stop us. If every Ron Paul supporter moved to Montana, Montana would be the most free thinking, Liberty instituted country in the world. There would be abundant voices, hands and feet walking the walk and maintaining the torch. So what is 200 necons to 15 million of us. Start think in the terms of the law of large numbers. The theory is sound, there is more of us than them. We just don't act it. Start acting it. The machine is stoppable. We are mightier. We are more.

This is a good article and it's precisely what's missing from our current mass-media/news/press. Reporters on the 'mainstream' media refuse to 'dig' and tell you what previous political and business connections that our politicians have in their pasts. The mass media plays 'cover' for the globalist-corporatist connected elites, including their military contract connections. The media also have been failing to inform the American people of the utter legal hypocrisy of Congress who engage in insider-trading while you and I would go to prison for that.
Politicians are often above the law but also above the broadcast media in terms of their corruption.
