I will be avoiding the upcoming debate.

Apparently we've allowed the media to choose who will continue and who will be packing their bags. I hope this Saturday is the point when many realize the silence is deafening for liberty. And that it doesn't matter if Rand has suspended his campaign, for what should he do if he is unable to avert people from mistaking liberty? He is on all ballots

I was sad to read this morning the deflating and yet inevitable headline: “Rand Paul to suspend his 2016 presidential campaign.” Even though I have already crossed the Liberty threshold and divorced myself from the GOP swearing ‪#‎noturningback‬, I couldn’t help but watch and listen and feel that warmth of hope that maybe this time; maybe this time will be different; all the while being restrained by the warnings in my heart

What made Paul interesting, according to Time in 2014, was that he seemed to be the only Republican paying attention to “the emerging demographics, the young minorities, the urban shifting away from older generations and embracing of more libertarian views on privacy, drug sentencing and foreign intervention.”

Would the libertarian-leaning Paul be able to appeal to African-Americans and Hispanics? Would he change his party’s traditional hardline stance on drug prohibition? Would Paul challenge Republicans’ hawkish foreign policy?

2016 Libertarian presidential candidate and former N.M. Republican Gov. Gary Johnson said on Monday that the results of the Iowa Caucuses show that the Democratic and Republican parties are not going to nominate a candidate that appeals to fiscally conservative and socially tolerant independent voters.

I just started watching the 5 videos about this.  Looks interesting.

PORTLAND, Ore. (Reuters) - Relatives of a man shot dead by law enforcement officers after taking part in the armed occupation of a U.S. wildlife refuge in Oregon have accused the FBI and state police of covering up the circumstances of his death last week.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, family of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum called the shooting "unjustified" and said the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Oregon State Police were "seeking to manipulate and mislead the media and the American public about what really happened."

If Russian tanks and troops rolled into the Baltics tomorrow, outgunned and outnumbered NATO forces would be overrun in under three days. That’s the sobering conclusion of war games carried out by a think tank with American military officers and civilian officials.

“The games’ findings are unambiguous: As currently postured, NATO cannot successfully defend the territory of its most exposed members,” said a report by the RAND Corp., which led the war gaming research.

Kill me, I am Legion.
Attack me, make me stronger.
Strength and Honor are anathema to you;
To us, they are the key to salvation;
Here, or in the next life.

"After three years of the federal government refusing to discuss the matter with the state government, Governor Gary Herbert is moving forward with plans to seize the 31.2 million acres of Utah land from the federal government and restore control of the lands to the people of Utah. The action is unprecedented."

Well, the media got their twisted wish in Paul’s recent resignation from his candidacy for president. And it really solidifies what they’ve been saying all along. Rand is not electable…at least for president. I understand that liberty and the message of freedom is not to be expected at the hands of any one individual, but why drop out after finishing in 5^th after the very first voters come out of the woodwork? How disappointed all those college students must be in clamoring and standing at the side of someone who immediately and subtly admits defeat after spending countless hours spreading the message he just omitted from the debate. I just do not understand how such a fiery message is not deemed relevant enough for Paul to continue with his months-long bid for presidency. I am truly saddened this day.

“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines.  I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine.”   – Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and longtime editor-in-chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ)

"This is another long Rant because the world collapse is speeding up. Sit down with a cup of coffee, relax, have fun, get a good laugh, learn things you’ll not find anywhere else, and read it all please." 

Here is a tool that may provide a channel to bring education about the real state of affairs in our country. I do understand that, those involved in contributing to the destruction of the idea of living as we see fit have financial objectives of self preservation. And I do also understand that it is to US each and everyone of US to take part in keeping our living as we see fit custom made.

The opportunity to open wide and bring light to the obscure is here for the taking. Thank whoever invented the internet and I'm sure it wasn't Al gore.

"The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 participants to move to NH for "Liberty in Our Lifetime."
Now that they have reached 20,000 participants, they are going to set about packing up and making the move to New Hampshire.
