Mr. Ron Paul delivered a speech in Congress about Wikileaks which every American needs to hear. He is spot on about the false outrage flying around this country concerning the information released by Wikileaks. Most importantly he points out the question what's worse, the deaths that have resulted because of the lies that took us into an illegal war in Iraq or the release of embarrassing cables which show how hypocritical and lying our government is behind its citizens' backs? Julian Assange did not steal this information either, he merely published it.
The kind of false outrage and lying that dominates the headlines these days just shows the lengths this crumbling empire will go to try and grasp at the few illusory straws that are its grip on the world.
Another thought to ponder, Mr. Ron Paul and Mr. Bernie Sanders are considered to be "wingnuts" or "fringe" politicians by the masses and corporate media in this country and are as a result given very short shrift, if not outright ridiculed. Yet, when it comes to actually speaking the truth about what is going on in this country and trying to actually do something about it, it seems that the only truth we are getting is from these "wingnuts'" mouths. So, maybe it's time to quit ignoring them and calling them names and start listening to them and voting more of their kind into office. The marginalization of the voices who speak the truth in this country tell you just exactly where our democracy is at. Below is Mr. Ron Paul's eloquent and timely speech on the floor of the house:
