| BLOWBACK: U.S. Trained Isis At Secret Jordan Base Posted: 17 Jun 2014 11:04 AM PDT Terrorists trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan WND EXCLUSIVE JERUSALEM – Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, were trained in 2012 by U.S. instructors working at a secret base in Jordan, according to informed Jordanian officials. The officials said dozens of ISIS members were trained at the time as part of covert aid to the insurgents targeting the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The officials said the training was not meant to be used for any future campaign in Iraq. |

As a local party official in a small village outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, she had witnessed firsthand the brash takeover of her beloved GOP in 2012 by the so-called "Paulites" -- the term used to describe supporters of former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas – after his third place finish in the last presidential caucus. |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:59 AM PDT Three days ago, my best friend died after a decade-long bout with a rare lung disease. Fortunately, I was able to tell him I loved him and share a few meaningful thoughts with him before he passed. This is just a reminder to take a little time today to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. In the daily rush of life, we too often overlook the people who mean the most to us. Tell them you love them and care about them; it will make your own day much more meaningful. I love you all at the Daily Paul. You enrich my life. Free Silver |

| LA Times: Ron Wyden, Mark Udall and Rand Paul: How to end the NSA dragnet Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:41 AM PDT One year ago this month, Americans learned that their government was engaged in secret dragnet surveillance, which contradicted years of assurances to the contrary from senior government officials and intelligence leaders. On this anniversary, it is more important than ever to let Congress and the administration know that Americans will reject half-measures that could still allow the government to collect millions of Americans' records without any individual suspicion or evidence of wrongdoing. |
| House Budget Punishes IRS With 15% Cut, Halts Obamacare Enforcement Posted: 17 Jun 2014 09:02 AM PDT House Budget Punishes IRS With 15% Cut, Halts Obamacare Enforcement BY PAUL BEDARD | JUNE 17, 2014 | 11:50 AM The Internal Revenue Service is about to get slapped with a harsh payback for messing around with conservative groups, blowing wads of tax dollars on employee conferences and helping implement Obamacare. The House Appropriations Committee is set to OK an IRS budget of $10.9 billion, $1.5 billion under President Obama's request for fiscal year 2015, reducing the agency's budget to 2008 levels. |
| Kucinich: Stop Calling the Iraq War a 'Mistake' Posted: 17 Jun 2014 07:10 AM PDT by Dennis Kucinich | Huffington Post As Iraq descends into chaos again, more than a decade after "Mission Accomplished," media commentators and politicians have mostly agreed upon calling the war a "mistake." But the "mistake" rhetoric is the language of denial, not contrition: it minimizes the Iraq War's disastrous consequences, removes blame, and deprives Americans of any chance to learn from our generation's foreign policy disaster. The Iraq War was not a "mistake" -- it resulted from calculated deception. The painful, unvarnished fact is that we were lied to. Now is the time to have the willingness to say that. In fact, the truth about Iraq was widely available, but it was ignored. There were no WMD. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. The war wasn't about liberating the Iraqi people. I said this in Congress in 2002. Millions of people who marched in America in protest of the war knew the truth, but were maligned by members of both parties for opposing the president in a time of war -- and even leveled with the spurious charge of "not supporting the troops." I've written and spoken widely about this topic, so today I offer two ways we can begin to address our role: |
| Posted: 17 Jun 2014 07:03 AM PDT The Bush/Obama nation-building effort in Iraq was ALWAYS going to be a bloody, expensive failure. Iraq is disintegrating because there never has been a NATION of Iraq. A nation is not a piece of dirt, it is a PEOPLE. Like the former Yugoslavia, "Iraq" is an illusion, a chimeric monster stitched together by British diplomats. It could only be held together by a blood-thirsty dictator or by military occupation. |
| Why the Fed Fears Uber (Deflation!) Posted: 17 Jun 2014 06:57 AM PDT By Michael A. Gayed | MarketWatch The European Central Bank wants inflation. The Bank of Japan wants inflation. The Federal Reserve wants inflation. Yet, for every single new dollar of stimulus created out of thin air to try to force reflation into the system, there's an app for that. There are three main sources of structural deflation that are decades in the making. The first is demographics. As baby boomers age, leave the workforce, and focus more on divesting as opposed to investing, demand for products and services outside of health care declines. A reduction in demand-pull inflation suppresses the velocity of money, and in turn holds inflation down. The second source of structural deflation is the wealth gap between rich and poor. The continued destruction of the middle and concentration of wealth by those at the top of the food chain relative to everybody else in society counters Fed action. After all, if the pure, raw number of people in society have less money, the velocity of money can't really pick up meaningfully. The third structural source of deflation is technology, and this is where Uber comes in to play. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the service, convenience, and cost of hailing a car to get to meetings and outsource my own driving. With a valuation that puts the company at about $18 billion, clearly many agree. |
