George Washington: No Torture on My Watch |
"Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any prisoner, I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country."

Paul, a popular doctor who maintained the only ob-gyn practice in his county, was first elected to Congress in 1976.

Police State America: A Look Back and Ahead |
Year end is a good time to look back and reflect on what's ahead. If past is prologue, however, the outlook isn't good, and nothing on the horizon suggests otherwise.

Intrusive Brain Reading Surveillance Technology: Hacking the Mind |
"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. full story |

Controversial Psychosurgery Resulted in a Nobel Prize: An Actual Page from Nobel Site |
"Since about 1960 lobotomy, with a strongly modified technique (more discrete incisions), has been used only when there are very special indications such as in severe anxiety, and compulsive syndromes which have proved to be resistant to other forms of therapy. Perhaps about five operations a year are now being performed in Sweden. However, I see no reason for indignation at what was done in the '40s as at that time there were no alternatives!" full story |

Presidential Candidate Ron Paul Bears Empty Pot For Americans |
He never brought you an unbalanced budget, which is a perennial joke. He never voted himself a wage increase and, to this day, gives back part of his salary every year. He has always voted to preserve the Constitution, cut government spending, lower healthcare costs, end the war on drugs, secure our borders with immigration reform and protect our civil liberties. Sorrowfully, he was outvoted or shot down on all measures. full story |

Remarks on Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act |
Mr. Speaker, I regret that I was unavoidably out of town on October 23, 2007, when a vote was taken on HR 1955, the Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act. Had I been able to vote, I would have voted against this misguided and dangerous piece of legislation. This legislation focuses the weight of the US government inward toward its own citizens under the guise of protecting us against "violent radicalization". full story |

"Instead of working to bring those committing crimes against the US to justice in U.S. courts, they. seem intent on doing exactly the opposite, keeping such individuals away from U.S. courts, hidden in a web of secret prisons, underground interrogation cells, and in the hands of cooperative govts." full story |

Bush Eyes Iran with Evil Intent |

Ron Paul Is a Baby Elephant |
At the same time, the Paul campaign has created something far bigger than just the best canvassing after-parties in the 2008 cycle.
