Rand Paul on Syrian Refugees: Can We Afford to Put the World's Poor on Welfare?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tM2Vc38xug

Rand is on the way up in the polls and he is starting to trend among conservatives and regular republicans in the US as we speak. Don't count him out and he's gonna trend just fine going into the first voting states earlier next year. I'm gonna double down on this thread for all of your world-wide interest as Rand is the best person to lead the US and affect the Globe in a positive way considering the US has been a black smear on it for quite some time. True bitcoiners and libertarians here want the world to have faith again in the US instead of its current image. I hope to instill that hope w/ Rand becoming President and this thread will give you all the good stuff to stay on top of things here.

You're either an expletive or someone so clueless as to engage w/ a fart spreading troll as this is a total waste of your time and/or the rest of us. Get a better gig and the rest of you should refrain from tolerating the "help/troll" around here. It should be obvious now who this putz is as well as their random accounts.

^So the nutsack is bullish up to a certain point (notice the ath doesn't get breached) and then lol. The worse case bs is spouted on the hind end which isn't even of value nor considered at this point. The probable outcome in the 20s is immeasurable wealth that crotch-peeper won't have apart of considering the low class mind that is being offered here. Sell the slob and hold the treasure.

No shit, I can't believe I got sucked into this piece long enough not to realize what rag it was doing the 'reporting'. National Review is a neocon propaganda outfit and this is a cover story for their interventionist crap that has been fueling terrorist groups from back to when the Mujahideen were fighting the Soviets back in the late 80s. Fast forward nearly 30 years and the cycle continues but look at the result in the middle east after all of this scheming.

Bashar Jaafari, the Syrian ambassador to the United Nations, told the UN Security Council on Monday that around 1 million once-displaced Syrians have returned home so far after Russian air strikes cleared pathways for Assad’s Syrian army to liberate residential territory from the clutches of ISIS.

According to RT, Jaafari said, “This is precisely what happens when it comes to Syrian-Russian collaborative military action against terrorists and exchange of intelligence between Syria, Iraq, Iran and Russia. This has practically resulted in terrorist groups’ retreat from [their positions in] many areas, which allowed 1 million internally displaced persons to return safely to their homes.”

Rand Paul: Punish Those Who Fund ISIS, Time OpEd

We need to make it clear that the U.S. does not do business with terror financiers

In the wake of the devastating terrorist attacks in Paris and Beirut, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and those who lost loved ones. Working together with our allies and friends, we have to step up our fight against terrorism.

Unfortunately, our current strategy isn’t making us safer. The number of innocent victims of terror is up 4,000% since 9/11 despite the $1.7 trillion taxpayers have spent on counterterrorism, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that claimed the lives of more than 6,800 American troops and 6,900 American contractors.

If our existing strategy of drone strikes, proxy wars, and toppled governments isn’t the answer, what is?

As a doctor, I know that attacking symptoms isn’t the same thing as finding a cure. I’m also mindful of what the Cold War official and nuclear strategist Paul Nitze said: “One of the most dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one is trying to achieve.” If we are to eradicate ISIS once and for all, it’s time to take a hard look at what is fueling its growth: money.

ISIS’s reserve of an estimated $2 billion makes it the world’s most well-financed terrorist organization. Airstrikes have impacted ISIS’s oil trade, but there’s one form of funding we can put an immediate stop to: donations from citizens, purported nonprofit groups, and governments or private sources in Gulf nations including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. A report from the world’s foremost international body on terrorist financing, the Financial Action Task Force, concludes that ISIS is using grassroots donations through the Internet and that foreign donor support will become more critical as other funding streams are stunted.

ISIS’s power has also been magnified by the massive arsenal of arms they’ve received from our so-called moderate allies in the Syrian and Iraqi armies. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of military equipment paid for by American taxpayers are in ISIS’s hands.

Like a broken record, Washington keeps asking these partners to stop supporting jihadi groups. The trouble is, they never listen.

Appropriate troll name for exactly what they bring to the discussion round table here: a musty stench that emanates from the netherworld of freaks and other degenerates/miscreants. What a sad existence they must lead.

Good grief, it all starts to make sense now. I have no interest in any of that garbage and I hung up the herb years ago. I'm keeping it mainstream w/ tobacco and alcohol as I don't want to experience anything that I can't control or keep a limit on. That said, truth is stranger than fiction and I believe there's some merits to certain theories being proffered around but the David Icke stuff isn't one of them.

Sen. Rand Paul Introduces Legislation to Prevent Terrorists From Entering the U.S. as Refugees

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rand Paul today announced legislation that would suspend visa issuance for countries with a high risk of terrorism and impose a waiting period for background checks on visa issuance from other countries until the American people can be assured terrorists cannot enter the country through our immigration and visa system. This legislation is based off language first proposed by Sen. Paul in 2013.

“The time has come to stop terrorists from walking in our front door. The Boston Marathon bombers were refugees, and numerous refugees from Iraq, including some living in my hometown, have attempted to commit terrorist attacks. The terrorist attacks in Paris underscore this concern that I have been working to address for the past several years. My bill will press pause on new refugee entrants from high-risk countries until stringent new screening procedures are in place,” Sen. Paul said.

Sen. Paul’s legislation would suspend issuance of visas to nationals of countries with a high risk of terrorism until the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) certifies and Congress votes to approve that:

1) Aliens already admitted from high-risk countries have been fingerprinted and screened, pose no terrorist risk, and are being monitored for terrorist activity

2) Enhanced security measures are in place to screen future applicants and prevent terrorists from entering the country

3) DHS' visa entry-exit system is 100 percent complete and a tracking system is in place to catch attempted overstays

Additionally, the legislation would impose a 30-day waiting period for all entries to the U.S. in order for background checks to be completed, unless the traveler has been approved through the Global Entry program. This requirement will be lifted after DHS certifies and Congress approves that:

1) Screening of entrants is sufficient to prevent terrorists from entering the country

2) DHS' visa entry-exit system is 100 percent complete and a tracking system is in place to catch attempted overstays

I remember that Dell was offering a 10% discount for purchasing w/ Bitcoin. Does anyone know if this is still the case? If so, this is one of the few companies accepting bitcoin that are throwing some benefit back at the user/buyer. This is what will create steady demand for paying w/ bitcoins when shoppers can be in the so-called ''super savers club" just by purchasing w/ bitcoin, similar to to those key chain plastic mini-cards at your CVS or Wallgreens. Women, who are the typical family shoppers, love to save money on household items and groceries so newer outlets offering to take bitcoin should be incentivized to offer discounts for customers using it. That's my dream in the next stage of bitcoin growth.

Not a word about whether this training has anything to do w/ ensuring wallet holders pay their expected taxes but just focusing on making sure the IRS examiners are proficient in making sure industry firms are in compliance w/ federal law.

Pretty interesting tho I'm not sure how trustworthy this South Pacific Plantation Mgmt Limited group is at this point. If you scope them out on Facebook you can see their short video - https://www.dropbox.com/s/cilswrc2i1mcx81/Makekula%20TVSPPML%2058.mp4?dl=0
 where you can purchase a 1 acre lot where they plant 400 Papaya trees and then sell the proceeds on the international market for like a dollar per kilo. The lot costs just under $20k Aussie and can generate up to $32k per season. I will say this, this is a tropical paradise far away from the problem areas of the world so that's what's appealing to me. Plus, no taxes yet the indigenous lifestyle looks quite ancient and some of their practices are unappealing.

You can earn plenty more than 1 coin through just sig campaigns in a year's time in addition to whatever you can trade for or purchase outright on the side. I've always said that newer types that want to accumulate coinage at these lower prices should stay with their folks or relatives and get a part or full time job so you have a way to make weekly or monthly purchases to get your stash up to where you want it to be cause the window is closing on how big your wallet(s) can get as the price continues to move along. I won't reveal my holdings however.

Police Civil Asset Forfeitures Exceed The Value Of All Burglaries In 2014

Between 1989 and 2010, U.S. attorneys seized an estimated $12.6 billion in asset forfeiture cases. The growth rate during that time averaged +19.4% annually. By 2014, that number had ballooned to roughly $4.5 billion for the year. Now, according to the FBI, the total amount of goods stolen by criminals in 2014 burglary offenses suffered an estimated $3.9 billion in property losses. This means that the police are now taking more assets than the criminals.

Wow and we still have a month and a half to go but I suspect, with winter eventually coming alive, that this rate may slow down. Then again, the constant inner city drug violence problems know no bounds. I feel bad for these homicide detectives because even though they have plenty of job security, they often work extremely long hours back to back and the consistency of this leads to issues w/ their spouses or even being able to take on a special friend to begin with. Money can't buy happiness when you have no time to enjoy it and you're always on call.

ISIS is the new Al Qaeda or a reincarnation of its past. In both cases, the US intelligence agency CIA had given arms and training to both of these groups in their infancy to set up proxy wars against Russia - in the late 80s and in recent times. In both cases, the US eventually finds itself at war w/ these radicals in the future and it's this interventionist foreign policy dating back many decades, which has bode well for the military industrial complex, caused the misery that stems from said policy. Only the likes of Rand Paul winning the US Presidency will any of this change going forward.

It all depends if Federer is on his game or not. When he plays bad and commits unenforced errors, it really stands out and is usually why he loses. Djokovic is and ace at serve returns and that is what allows him to be more competitive when he isn't on offense. I pretty much expect Novak to win and continue on his reign as world champ. Roger is still in good shape so he might as well stick around a few more years to earn that money, especially from endorsements. He was the world's greatest in years passed.

The way I heard it/read it was they came upon a "concrete threat" and even Merkel was scheduled to attend so they vacated the entire stadium. Thanks to this migrant crisis starting by the West and allies building up of ISIS and the subsequent Russian bombings, these people are hoarding into Europe and this liberal fantasyland is going to implode. When 95% of the migrants coming are able-bodied males of military age, somethings got to be suspicious. These men should be staying to fight for their land and values and the women and children should be the 95% that are migrating until things can improve back home. Long story short, open borders on the heels of a humanitarian crisis next door isn't a plus and there's likely to be more attacks and uprooting of Europeans' lives.

Rand Paul Blames The Arming of ISIS By Rubio, Clinton and Obama For Paris Attacks

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/05/27/rand-paul-holds-republican-hawks-responsible-for-isis/?_r=0

Rand has plenty to say on this if you check out the topic at hand. These refuse buggers like Rube, Clinton and Mr. Zero are all on the same page when it comes to this latest attack and they're all implicated in their arming of ISIS and the subsequent migrant crisis. Rand has been against this from day one.

Thanks for your points but consider why the media has given Trump a billion worth of free media if he's truly the anti-establishment candidate that he's supposed to be. Trump is and has been tight w/the Clintons as they came to his relatively recent wedding w/ his newest plus he's been donating to them and other haters of liberty for a long time.. Trump is a fraud of the highest proportion and his only crutch is the latest populist immigration worry that is manifesting now. Then there's Carson who's going no where yet is #2 in the polls. Point is, confuse the conservative base that is anti-republican establishment w/ these so-called alternatives plus Cruz and perhaps the Rubio or Fiorina can rise up. Either way, the conservative pushers that are sick of where this party is going don't focus on the right anti-estab guy like Rand (at this point) and waste their lives w/ the BS in this primary.

Anyone that is worth their salt will realize that Rand is the only choice that will stop the mess as only a libertarian would do. So, Trump (who's a hater of Rand) has no apparent love for liberty nor gives a crap if this realm burns. This is a repeat of 08 and 12 where the media banties about the so-called alternatives in this field where anybody but a Paul is legit. If that's the case then I fold and don't give a fuck. If there's really a fight in this room, then all of you should support Rand Paul for President cuz no one else in this market/Senate will do anything to help you out.
