Paul Craig Roberts: We have a republican party that is a Gestapo party


There is a bill in the Senate that is attempting to keep torture alive as an interrogation technique. The National Defense Authorization Act is being debated in Congress and if passed, American citizens could be detained without a court hearing anywhere in the world. President Obama stated he will veto the bill if it should pass. Is Senate Bill 1867 threatening the US constitution? Paul Craig Roberts, former Reagan administration official and columnist, gives us his take on the proposed bill. Follow Liz on Twitter at twitter.com

  2. Dr. Paul Roberts: I do indeed find your articles “TRUE” I do research everyday around the world, and find that what I predicted three months after this illegal Barry Sotero through manipulation by his Elitist Group 13 managed to be planted into a position for which he had no experience. He undoubtedly has been trained for this position many years. The eloquent speeches must have taken an expert many years, however; I am sure the “Habitual Lies” came to him naturally. He posses a Fraudulent Birth Certificate, and Social Security card, but delights in Torture, Narcissism, War Crimes, Treason, and Predjudice. There has never been any one person in the position of president since the beginning of time. This illegal person will one day HANG for all these War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity. I would delight in seeing this, but at 76 I may not? Unless the people of this country actually revolt and reinstate democracy by irradication of both parties, and president.

  3. I have one disagreement with your commentary at counterpunch.org/How Libertarian Dogmatists Are Harming Ron Paul’s Campaign.

    You say, “It is true that the government has stolen the funds, spent them, and left non-marketable IOU’s in their place.”

    I know that the Trust Fund has Special Series Bonds in it but these bonds are Special in that they can not be traded on the open market but this is as I understand so that they can not be price manipulated by the Open/Private markets. They are IOU’s as you say but so are any Bonds/Treasuries. If they are worthless then so are all government financial instruments.
