“As he celebrates his 78th birthday, with a string of ongoing and upcoming projects, Paul’s ‘retirement’ is looking more and more like a full-time job. While congressional service may have provided the initial platform, Paul is now freed from the hyena’s den, and his work outside of politics will prove to have a real lasting impact on public debate and on spreading an intellectual revolution. Last week, Paul debuted his internet media outlet. The Ron Paul Channel is branded as an alternative to the corporate media, allowing viewers to watch his talk show-style program online, ‘When they want, where they want, and on the device they want: internet-connected televisions, computers, tablets, and smart phones.'”

“Army Pfc. Bradley Manning, who is [convicted] of providing an enormous stash of classified government documents to WikiLeaks for publication, deserves a Nobel Peace Prize more than President Barack Obama, according to former Texas Rep. Ron Paul. ‘While President Obama was starting and expanding unconstitutional wars overseas, Bradley Manning, whose actions have caused exactly zero deaths, was shining light on the truth behind these wars,’ the former Republican presidential contender told U.S. News. ‘It’s clear which individual has done more to promote peace.’ Manning was nominated for the award in 2011, 2012 and again earlier this year. Obama won the award in 2009.”
“NSA leaker Edward Snowden set the world on fire when he stood up to the powerful and secretive National Security Agency, exposing its illegal and unconstitutional spying to a global audience. Since that time, statists, neoconservatives, and supporters of the Obama administration have called for him to stand trial for treason. Meanwhile, civil liberties activists have hailed him as a whistleblower and a hero. Some have even suggested that the NSA should be disbanded, that its officials should be held accountable, and that Edward Snowden deserves a ticker tape parade. Today’s Enemies Domestic short tackles this national conversation head-on.”

“The common core curriculum mandates a common core system of exams. Most students will flunk these exams. This is inevitable. The results in New York are the canary in the coal mine. The failure rate was 69%. Blacks and Hispanics failed at an 84% rate. Parents are up in arms. The common core curriculum will not redeem the public schools. It will instead expose the public schools as utter failures. This will not be tolerated by local politicians, who take the heat for the failures in public schools. They will demand that the educrats turn down the heat. The tests are in the first stage of a roll-back. The Obama Administration is blaming the sequestration.”

“Ron Paul loves gold, which probably won’t come as that much of a surprise to the retired Texas congressman’s acolytes. But how much the firebrand populist and former presidential candidate embraces the yellow metal could strike some as a bit…extreme. Paul’s investment portfolio is dedicated almost solely to hard assets, with 64 percent in gold and silver miners, 21 percent in real estate and 15 percent in cash, according to an analysis from the StreetAuthority blog. The other 1 percent? An allocation to stocks, but on the short side in a bet against the equity markets.”
“With Bradley Manning sentenced to 35 years in prison for his role in releasing sensitive military information to WikiLeaks and the US government’s hunt for Edward Snowden for revealing the NSA’s spying program, being a whistleblower isn’t an easy task. As some people see the two individuals as traitors, some people believe that these leaks are essential to gaining full government transparency. In an interview with Larry King, former Congressman Ron Paul expresses his appreciation for the leaked information.”
