Ron Paul Pandemic causes Romney split
All hell breaks loose in Alaska
By Doug Wead
There is a split at the senior levels of the Mitt Romney campaign over how to deal with the ongoing Ron Paul takeover of the Republican Party, this, from an old friend inside. Some are saying, “Let it happen, so what? We have the nomination, they represent youth and Hispanics and they are the future, we need them.” Others, I will call them Romney Hawks, are saying, “We don’t know exactly how many delegates they have and that, in itself, is dangerous. They already have enough to embarrass us at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.”
They point to the disastrous RNC of 1992 which many believe contributed to the loss of George H. W. Bush to Bill Clinton in the general election. They say, “We must stop the Ron Paul people at any cost.”
The Romney Hawks have been able to win in states like Alaska, Nevada and North Dakota, where they anticipated a Ron Paul takeover and carefully planned strategies to disenfranchise them. And the war, by the way, is not just with the Ronulans. The votes of Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and now, in many states, with any pro life delegates as well.
Part of the reason for the hardball is that the Romney team was caught by surprise in Missouri, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa and other states. Even more worrisome for the Romney Hawks are the delegates that they are calling “stealth Paulies” lost in the mix, among the GOP faithful, going to Tampa as bound votes for Romney but Ron Paul activists at heart. Some estimates say that Ron Paul could end up with a third of the delegates on the floor of the RNC and “who knows what they can do?” That has galvanized the Romney hardliners. The purge is on.
Alaska is an example where the Romney hardliners pressed their advantage. Last Monday, GOP state party chairman, Randy Reudrich called a state committee meeting and announced that delegate fees would be accepted no later than 48 hours “from this date” setting a deadline for Wednesday, April 18. Then suddenly, the next day, the state party changed its mind, saying that delegate fees were required by 6:00 p.m. that very evening.
The massive Ron Paul delegation, which under fair, democratic circumstances would dominate the Alaska convention, had to move quickly to adjust, but nothing could prepare them for how dirty the fight would get and how fiercely they would be resisted.
First Reudrich’s GOP state party told delegates they could pay their $250 registration fee with personal check or by credit card online. Then they promptly pulled the online link. The Ron Paul-Santorum forces encouraged as many supporters as possible to make the long physical journey to the state convention a day early. Alaska is a big state with many remote regions. And this was an operation that had to be planned and executed in a matter of hours, at a cost of time, money and arrangements for family and work. Miraculously it came together. But when delegates began arriving to pay their fee the Reudrich Rules had changed again. Personal checks were no longer acceptable. Many rushed to the banks, while they were still open, to get money orders, barely meeting the deadline. Some missed it by minutes, making the long trek across the state for nothing. One was denied registration by a Party official who declared that even a money order was unacceptable.
The Alaska GOP told individual Ron Paul, prolife, or non-Romney supporters that they were prohibited from sponsoring the fee for surrogate delegates, and prohibited from covering any expenses for airfare or accommodations for anyone else. Of course, this was not true but it worked to send some of the less wealthy delegates back home, without a chance to participate, even after being elected as a delegate from their home District. One Ron Paul supporter who quietly, but firmly, pointed out the legality of the process, and listed Romney delegates whose expenses were paid by friends, was then told, “Yes, but they filed a state GOP waiver form.” He was then told that the party was out of forms. “Sorry.”
In the end, it may be Governor Mitt Romney, and the GOP, who are sorry.
“They are saying that GOP state chairman, Randy Reudrich, was promised a Romney job in Washington,” says one of the Santorum organizers. “He better hope that’s the case because he is finished in this state.”
Cooler heads in the Romney camp are concerned that Romney Hawks are driving young people, Hispanics and Independents to a Third Party or a “sit at home” attitude in the general election. The recent Rasmussen poll which showed Ron Paul beating President Barack Obama in a general election and Mitt Romney not, may have been missed by the national media but it was seen clearly by people in both the Romney and Obama camps.
The good news for the Ron Paul people is that if no one else believes in the success of their campaign, the Romney Hawks obviously do and they are willing to cheat, lie and deceive to stop them. Said one of the staff at Ron Paul Headquarters today, “If Mitt Romney had this thing won, he would be telling his state chairs to make it easy for new people to come into the party.” The fact that they are shutting us out is revealing.”

Will Maryland families be allowed to vote?
Homosexual “marriage” will not become reality in Maryland without a fight.
This is my promise to you and to every resident who has been watching in horror as this terrible perversion descends upon their state.
You see, only months ago the Maryland legislature passed homosexual “marriage” in their state despite wide-spread dissent from the voters.
This is part of a national strategy of the Homosexual Lobby to use activist judges and radical legislators to force homosexual “marriage” into America despite the decisions of mainstream Americans.
They know that they cannot win a fair vote.
Every time the voting public has been given a choice about homosexual “marriage”, they have chosen real marriage!
The Homosexual Lobby used to think that they could control voter referenda -- through fear and intimidation and outright deceit -- but Americans have shown that they will not be stopped from showing their support for morality and Family values.
The Homosexual Lobby is terrified of letting Americans vote now.
Most recently we have seen the decisions of California voters invalidated by the Courts when they ruled first Prop 22 and then prop 8 to be illegal!
And now they are trying to deny Maryland residents the chance to strike down the perversion of homosexual “marriage” in their community.
I am proud to let you know that their tactics are not working.
Public Advocate has been hard at work in Maryland for weeks collecting signatures and spreading the word about this fight.
And I have been truly blessed by how many people have rushed to our side.
But we have not won yet. We have to see this fight all the way through.
That’s why I need your support.
Public Advocate’s efforts have not been cheap and if you and I are to continue this fight it will take even more money.
Please give whatever you can today to help fund our efforts in Maryland to restore real marriage to its rightful place
For the Family,
Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States
P.S. Please prayerfully consider chipping in with a donation of $10 or more to help Public Advocate fight for traditional values.
Gingrich Continues to Draw Secret Service Protection... On Your Dime
As presidential campaigns go, as a candidate draws closer to the nomination of either part, he is assigned a secret service detail for protection. After all, one of the candidates will end up being president of the United States. But when is it time to say enough is enough? Rick Santorum has dropped out. The nomination will be Mitt Romney's, yet Newt Gingrich continues his Secret Service detail at the cost of tens of thousands of dollars... per day.
Gingrich reportedly requested Secret Service protection in February and was granted a detail in early March. In April 2008, Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan told the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee that it was then costing the agency roughly $38,000 a day to service each candidate receiving protection, which was then just Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.Read the full story at The Daily Caller
A source with knowledge of the inner workings of the Gingrich campaign told The Daily Caller that Gingrich recently had three people on his personal security detail, though sometimes there are "many more."
UNITED NATIONS PROPOSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTITUTION FOR THE WORLD THAT WOULD, IN EFFECT, ESTABLISH A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT
Most people have no idea that the United Nations has been drafting an environmental constitution for the world that is intended to supersede all existing national laws. This document has a working title of "Draft International Covenant on Environment and Development" and you can read the entire thing right here. Work on this proposed world environmental constitution has been going on since 1995, and the fourth edition was issued to UN member states on September 22nd, 2010. This document is intended to become a permanent binding treaty and it would establish an incredibly repressive system of global governance. This "covenant", as it is being called, claims authority over the entire global environment and everything that affects it. Considering the fact that everything that we do affects the environment in some way, that would mean that this document would become the highest form of law for all human activity. This proposed UN environmental constitution for the world is incredibly detailed. The U.S. Constitution only has 7 articles, but the UN document has 79 articles. If the U.S. eventually ratifies this treaty, any national, state or local laws that conflict with this covenant will be null and void. This is potentially one of the greatest threats to our national sovereignty that we have ever seen and we need to warn the American people about it.
Essentially what this proposed environmental covenant does is it takes the sustainable development principles underlying Agenda 21 and turns them into global constitutional law.
All parties to this new constitution would be forced to turn their nations into centrally-planned societies where all decisions about everything are evaluated within the framework of sustainable development.
If the United States became a party to this treaty, America would become a paradise for control freaks. Basic decisions about what you eat, about what you wear, about where you live, about how big a family you can have and about what activities you could engage in on a daily basis would be dictated by the mandates in the global constitution.
If you doubt this, just read the document.
Let's take a closer look at some of the wording in this proposed constitution for the world....
In documents such as these, drafters have learned to never use the term "global government" because it sets off alarm bells for people. So they often use the more politically-correct term of "governance". On page 36, we are told that proper governance includes the creation of governing institutions on various levels "from the local to the global"....
"Governance is the process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (or not implemented). It also can be defined as the rational organization of society in order to achieve the objectives emerging from its common concerns emerging from material, economic, historical and cultural foundations and needs. Governance includes the creation and the functioning of institutions and of norms at various levels from the local to the global."
In the forward to the document, we are told that the covenant is a "living document" that will serve as a blueprint for an international agreement that the authors hope will eventually be adopted by all members of the United Nations....
"The Draft Covenant is a blueprint for an international framework (or umbrella) agreement consolidating and developing existing legal principles related to environment and development. The intention is that it will remain a “living document” until – as is the hope and expectation of those who have been involved in the project – it is adopted as a basis for multilateral negotiations."
This project was originally focused almost entirely on the environment, but the authors acknowledge that there has been an increased focus on the "social and economic pillars" in this latest edition....
"Special care was taken to update it with respect to the ‘social and economic pillars’ and thereby avoid falling into the trap of concentrating solely on the ‘environmental pillar’."
In the preamble we are told that a "global partnership" is necessary in order to "achieve sustainable development"....
"...the belief that humanity currently stands at a decisive point in history, which calls for a global partnership to achieve sustainable development"
Article 3 of this proposed global constitution declares that the global environment should be under the "protection" of "international law"....
"The global environment is a common concern of humanity and under the protection of the principles of international law, the dictates of the public conscience and the fundamental values of humanity."
Later on in the document, things start becoming more specific.
In Article 16, we are told that all member nations must integrate environmental conservation into all of their national decisions....
Parties shall, at all stages and at all levels, integrate environmental conservation into the planning and implementation of their policies and activities, giving full and equal consideration to environmental, economic, social and cultural factors. To this end, the Parties shall:
(a) conduct regular national reviews of environmental and developmental policies and plans;
(b) enact, periodically review, and enforce laws and regulations; and
(c) establish or strengthen institutional structures and procedures to integrate environmental and developmental issues in all spheres of decision-making.
In Article 20, we are told that parties to this treaty will be required to "mitigate the adverse effects of climate change". That means that if this treaty is ratified in the United States, the national debate about climate change will be over and our national, state and local government institutions will all be required to actively fight man-made global warming whether it actually exists or not....
Parties shall take precautionary measures to protect the Earth’s climate system and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. To these ends, they shall cooperate internationally inter alia to:
(a) Measure their emissions and implement nationally appropriate mitigation actions;
and
(b) Establish risk management and implement adaptation measures to enable climate-resilient development.
In Article 31, there is a requirement to eradicate poverty. Yes, everyone should work hard to eliminate poverty, but what this document envisions is a worldwide socialist system where wealth is redistributed on a global scale....
Parties, individually or in partnership with other States, international organizations and civil society, in particular the private economic sector, shall adopt measures aimed at the eradication of poverty, including measures to:
(a) legally empower people living in poverty to exercise their rights including the right to development;
(b) respect, ensure, promote and fulfill the rights of vulnerable and marginalized persons, in particular to food, water, housing and other basic needs;
(c) enable all individuals to achieve sustainable livelihoods, in particular by increasing access to and control over resources, including land;
(d) rehabilitate degraded resources, to the extent practicable, and promote sustainable use of resources for basic human needs;
(e) provide potable water and sanitation;
(f) provide education, with a particular focus on, and with the participation of women and girl children, indigenous peoples, local communities, and vulnerable or marginalized persons; and
(g) support microcredit and microinsurance schemes and the development of microfinance institutions and their capacities.
In the end, socialism always makes everyone poorer, but unfortunately the United Nations has apparently not gotten that memo yet.
In Article 32, there is a requirement to recycle "to the fullest extent possible".
If the U.S. ratifies this global environmental constitution that means that there will be a lot more government agents snooping through our trash cans to make sure that we are recycling properly like is already happening in Cleveland, Ohio.
In Article 33, countries are required to determine "the size of the human population their environment is capable of supporting" and to implement measures to make sure that the population does not exceed that level....
Parties shall develop or strengthen demographic policies in order to achieve sustainable development. To this end, the Parties shall:
(a) conduct studies to estimate the size of the human population their environment is capable of supporting and develop programmes relating to population growth at corresponding levels;
(b) cooperate to alleviate the stress on natural support systems caused by major population flows;
(c) cooperate as requested to provide a necessary infrastructure on a priority basis for areas with rapid population growth;
(d) provide to their populations full information on the options concerning family planning;
and
(e) provide for long-term resettlement of persons displaced by changing environmental conditions.
As I have written about previously, the elites that are pushing sustainable development are obsessed with population control and they love death.
Article 33 is definitely one of the most chilling parts of the entire document.
In Article 34, nations are required to maintain "an open and non-discriminatory international trading system". This document affirms the emerging one world economic system and sets out rules for how to participate in it in an environmentally responsible way....
1. Parties shall cooperate to establish and maintain an open and non-discriminatory international trading system that equitably meets the developmental and environmental needs of present and future generations.
To this end, Parties shall endeavour to ensure that:
(a) trade does not lead to the wasteful use of natural resources nor interfere with their conservation or sustainable use;
(b) trade measures addressing transboundary or global environmental problems are based, as far as possible, on international consensus;
(c) trade measures for environmental purposes do not constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on international trade;
(d) unilateral trade measures by importing Parties in response to activities which are harmful or potentially harmful to the environment outside the jurisdiction of such Parties are avoided as far as possible or occur only after consultation with affected States and are implemented in a transparent manner; and
(e) prices of commodities and raw materials reflect the full direct and indirect social and environmental costs of their extraction, production, transport, marketing, and, where appropriate, ultimate disposal.
In the commentary on Article 34, we are told that a one world economic system that respects the environment is "an essential component of sustainable development"....
Paragraph 1 sets out the duty to cooperate to establish and maintain an international economic system that ensures inter- and intra generational equity, giving effect to the principles enunciated in Articles 5 (Equity and Justice) and 10 (Right to Development) of the Draft Covenant. This duty has been recognized in recent international instruments as being an essential component of sustainable development.
In Article 41, nations are instructed to integrate sustainable development principles into all decisions regarding "infrastructure and town and country planning"....
Parties shall establish and implement integrated physical planning systems, including provisions for infrastructure and town and country planning, with a view to integrating conservation of the environment, including biological diversity, into social and economic development.
In Article 51, we learn how all of this is going to be paid for.
It turns out that we will be required to finance the implementation of all of these repressive new requirements....
1. Parties undertake to provide, in accordance with their capabilities, financial support and incentives for those national activities aimed at achieving the objectives of this Covenant.
2. Parties shall pursue innovative ways of generating public and private financial resources for sustainable development.
In Article 52, it even tells us how much of our national GDP we will be required to contribute....
Parties, taking into account their respective capabilities and specific national and regional developmental priorities, objectives and circumstances, shall endeavour to augment their aid programmes to reach the United Nations General Assembly target of at least 0.7 percent of Gross National Product for Official Development Assistance.
In Article 69, the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea are essentially designated the "judicial branch" for this global governance scheme....
1. Parties shall settle disputes concerning the interpretation or application of this Covenant by peaceful means, such as by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and judicial settlement, and where appropriate, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or by any other peaceful means of their own choice.
2. If Parties to such a dispute do not reach agreement within one year following the notification by one Party to another that a dispute exists, the dispute shall, at the request of one of the Parties, be submitted to either an arbitral tribunal, including the Permanent Court of Arbitration, or to judicial settlement, including by the International Court of Justice and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea as appropriate.
Those that try to claim that this is not a proposed constitution for the world are simply being delusional. Article 71 even gives us detailed procedures for "amending" this constitution.
If this document is not intended to be a constitution, then why does it have a "preamble" like the U.S. Constitution does, why is it organized into "articles" like the U.S. Constitution is, and why does it set forth procedures for "amending" the document like the U.S. Constitution does?
And notice that the word "shall" is used constantly throughout the entire document. This proposed constitution does not contain "suggestions" that the authors hope will be followed. Rather, it contains commands which are intended to be obeyed.
This document would establish a very repressive system of world governance. The global elite believe that we are not smart enough to think for ourselves and that they need to run the entire planet like a tightly-controlled prison in order to save the environment.
If you have a few moments, go look the document over, and then come back and leave a comment with your opinion of it....

Mandatory ‘Big Brother’ Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015
Paul Joseph Watson
A bill already passed by the Senate and set to be rubber stamped by the House would make it mandatory for all new cars in the United States to be fitted with black box data recorders from 2015 onwards.
Section 31406 of Senate Bill 1813 (known as MAP-21), calls for “Mandatory Event Data Recorders” to be installed in all new automobiles and legislates for civil penalties to be imposed against individuals for failing to do so.
“Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall revise part 563 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, to require, beginning with model year 2015, that new passenger motor vehicles sold in the United States be equipped with an event data recorder that meets the requirements under that part,” states the bill.
Although the text of legislation states that such data would remain the property of the owner of the vehicle, the government would have the power to access it in a number of circumstances, including by court order, if the owner consents to make it available, and pursuant to an investigation or inspection conducted by the Secretary of Transportation.
Given the innumerable examples of both government and industry illegally using supposedly privacy-protected information to spy on individuals, this represents the slippery slope to total Big Brother surveillance of every American’s transport habits and location data.
The legislation, which has been given the Orwellian title ‘Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act’, sailed through the Senate after being heavily promoted by Democrats Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer and is also expected to pass the Republican-controlled House.
Given the fact that the same bill also includes a controversial provision that would empower the IRS to revoke passports of citizens merely accused of owing over $50,000 in back taxes, stripping them of their mobility rights, could the mandatory black boxes or a similar technology be used for the same purpose?
Biometric face-recognition and transdermol sensor technology that prevents an inebriated person from driving a car by disabling the automobile has already been developed, in addition to systems that refuse to allow the vehicle to start if the driver is deemed to be overtired.
The ultimate Big Brother scenario would be a system whereby every driver had to get de facto permission from the state to drive each time they get behind the wheel, once it had been determined from an iris scan that they were good citizens who have paid all their taxes and not misbehaved.
The push to pressure car manufacturers to install black box tracking devices in all new cars has been ongoing for over a decade. In 2006, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration encouraged but did not require automobile manufacturers to install the systems.
However, in February last year NHTSA administrator David Strickland said the government was considering making the technology mandatory in the wake of recalls of millions of Toyota vehicles.
Earlier this year it was reported that the NHTSA would soon formally announce that all new cars would be mandated to have the devices fitted by law, which has now been codified into the MAP-21 bill.

Bishop: Obama following path of Hitler and Stalin
by Charlie Spiering
In a homily delivered Saturday, Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois challenged President Obama's HHS mandate, suggesting that the president was following the same path as Hitler and Stalin.
"Hitler and Stalin, at their better moments, would just barely tolerate some churches remaining open, but would not tolerate any competition with the state in education, social services, and health care," Jenky said. "In clear violation of our First Amendment rights, Barack Obama – with his radical, pro abortion and extreme secularist agenda, now seems intent on following a similar path." Jenky added.
Jenky reminded the men of the Catholic Church's history of surviving threats from Jihadi, Nazism and Communism and called them to stand up for their faith.
Denouncing the "entrenched corruption and sheer incompetence" of the Illinois state government, Jenky also criticized Catholic politicians who "pretend to be Catholic."
"May God have mercy on the souls of those politicians who pretend to be Catholic in church, but in their public lives, rather like Judas Iscariot, betray Jesus Christ by how they vote and how they willingly cooperate with intrinsic evil," he said.
Bishop Jenky was appointed Bishop of Peoria by Pope John Paul II in 2002.
