Although I am not an American, I see the danger and threats all about us, we, the men of the West, are destined for the same fate, one that does not look promising right now.

Ron Paul is the only presidential candidate who would have any chance of saving the West from ruin, at worst he would give us a few more years.

Please vote for him, with out someone like him we all lose, with him there is a chance, however slight!

“Senator Paul”

uh, he’s a congressman not a senator. I think somebody is going to get fired over such an embarassing article.

“Professor De Bots” is classic. Makes one to wonder who much one should believe the US MSM reporting on international stories if they don’t bother checking such basic facts for a story in an English-speaking first world country’s major paper. I think it might also indicate how biased this paper is against Dr. Paul that they took this “professor” at his word and didn’t bother checking up on him. I wonder if a story positive story on the same subject would have been treated the with such credulity.

That this story actually got published indicates to me that we have some exceptionally talented, resourceful and creative people on our side.

Looks like there is a real professor at Flinders named De Bats.

Alex Jones’ story http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2007/121007Smearing.htm

links to a different version of the same story wherein De Bats’ name is spelled correct and they correctly identify Dr. Paul as a Representative: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22573751-401,00.html

I’m confused. Is this a fake story or not?

Isn’t he the brother of the famous computer scientist who invented the “De Bots Array”?

Supposedly they are both heavy drinkers.

This is one of those “poetic” situations where it hardly matters.  The hubris I mentioned is the same.  One thing is clear:  The FredThompsonForum.com guys are very astute for having seen that the neocons would try to roll out their duct-tape-and-baling-wire candidate to astroturf over Ron Paul’s genuine grassroots, and then setting up a faux-forum for Thompson months in advance so they could capture the network externality within the Thompson campaign and subject it to the kind of abuse of monopoly position to which Jim Robinson and fellow Mossad tools subject FreeRepublic.com.  They are using their network externality to good effect, although they are a little too obviously spoofing Fred Thompson supporters to attract a critical mass of Fred Thompson supporters.  What they are attracting with their network externality is a crew of very astute political comedians who know, 1) how the neocons are playing the network externality monopoly game with FreeRepublic.com, 2) how serious a threat to the elites Ron Paul’s campaign is, 3) how the elites positioned themselves to respond with Fred Thompson using the traditional “astroturfing” centralized media politics of the 20th century and 4) how to use the 21st century decentralized media to rhetorically turn the thereby-exposed chutzpah of the neocons against themselves to create a side-splittingly funny collaborative content website.  I suspect this is an offshoot of the Colbert Report phenomenon.

Looks like they’ve got one for Hillary Clinton as well. http://www.hillaryclintonforums.com/

Back in 1999 until, oh about 2004 or so, gwbush dot com was a blatant spoof support site of the American president, who was just running for office when the website went online.

landoverbaptist dot org is another leftist, “radical right Evangelical Christian” spoof site that has been online for several years.

The method is nothing new. What’s confounding is how slow or non-responsive the racial nationalist movement has been in recognizing and adopting the tactic. Is pitifully impotent, angry fist-shaking at racial minorities really going anywhere?

Britain’s Immigration Fiasco -  by Anthony Milne

“The problems of multi-culturalism in Britain are now doing enormous harm to the professional classes. Journalists, priests, politicians and professional specialists of all kinds live in perpetual fear that one of the biggest ideological experiments of all time - getting different races and nationalities to live together in one homeland - will sooner or later break down into vicious sectarianism.

Many parts of the liberal establishment are now becoming extremely uneasy about the reckless and unthinking way in which the Government shows its determination to carry on with its policy of only barely restricted immigration, regardless of what people want or what is in the interests of the nation.”...........contd.

Offtopic:

*It’s a list of “the world’s most powerful people,” 100 of the bankers and media moguls, publishers and image makers who shape the lives of billions…More than half its members, at least by one count, are Jewish.*

There are 6000 million people on earth, and 13 million Jews.

13 / 6000 = .002, that is, the proportionate amount on the list should be about .2 percent.

It’s some pretty serious overpresentation.
