Texas Straight Talk, by Ron Paul, 12/27/2011Little by little, in the name of fighting terrorism, our Bill of Rights is being repealed.

Filed by the Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) on behalf of the plaintiffs, the suit seeks judicial protection against the inevitable lawsuits Monsanto will file against non-GM and organic farmers when it’s genetically-modified (GM) seeds and other materials contaminate their fields.
When all you have is bombs, everything starts to look like a target. And so, after years of providing Libya’s dictator with the weapons he’s been using against his people, all the international community – France, Britain and the United States – has to offer the people of Libya is more bombs, this time dropped from the sky rather than delivered in a box to Muammar Qaddafi’s palace.

The unfolding multiple nuclear reactor catastrophe in Japan is prompting overdue attention to the 104 nuclear plants in the United States—many of them aging, many of them near earthquake faults, some on the west coast exposed to potential tsunamis.
