Hey, this is important. 1000 Watts Publications does not endorse illegal activity in any
form. It’s up to you to know and follow your state’s rules.
Lately there has been a lot controversy about Compassion Centers and the progress of the Medical Marijuana program in Rhode Island. Governor Lincoln Chaffee will hopefully work out a way to satisfy the federal government about the opening of Compassion Centers. A great many patients have been waiting a long time for the Compassion Centers to open and to be able to access medicine safely. Some patients have to risk being robbed and beaten as they roam the streets looking for medicine; which is in most cases: extremely low quality. When patients inquire about when and how long they are still going to have to wait for the Compassion Centers, they are given the run around, and told to: go home. There never seems to be enough medicine for the people and patients who suffer the most. Things need to change now! Please tell us about your opinions.

One of the reasons the Netherlands voted into power a right wing government was not to limit the sale of soft drugs or prevent tourists from access to them. The reason the right wing was able to form a coalition to run the government was because of the anti-immigrant attitude shared by a large portion of the country’s voters.
Look at it this way. Amsterdam is a major European city with an airport that serves as both an arrival and departure hub for air traffic from all over the world. Picture Amsterdam and its boundaries as a cultural fortress surrounded by a series of canals encircling the city from its center to its outer limits. Symbolically, these canals insulate Amsterdam’s tradition of tolerance and liberal lifestyle from the rest of the Netherlands which is much more conservative both socially and politically. Not as far to the right of some of the neo- fascists in America, but close to it.
Immigrants fill the bottom tier of entry level employment in the Netherlands. They work as maids in hotels and fill low paying jobs. They work in greenhouses and in dangerous industrial jobs. They fill positions that Dutch people lacking a proper education are unqualified for. As a result this group of dis-placed Dutch citizens fuels the anger of anti immigration emotions among a larger portion of the conservative Dutch population.
Unlike politics in this country, newly elected governments the Netherlands hit the boards running with their agendas. Once in power, the right wing coalition immediately notified the rest of the E.U. that it intended to expel immigrants from the
country, even though the ac-tion would violate the mem-bership requirements of the European Union. Then they went after Am-sterdam. It began in the southern part of the Netherlands where border communities began optionally shutting down coffeeshops because of their easy access by Ger-man citizens who were going back and forth across the open, uncontrolled border to buy hash and marijuana to take back home. It pissed off the German government and soon became an issue between Germany and the Netherlands.. This gave the right wing government of the
Netherlands the opening it needed to impose an even more radical effort. Expand a proposed prohibition on soft drugs to include all tourists from all countries from entering any coffeeshop selling hashish and marijuana anywhere in the Netherlands.
The storm that blew out of the Mayor’s office in Amsterdam can only civilly be described as being as powerful as a sudden unexpected evacuation of the bowels from inside the human excretory tract.
If the Dutch government were to impose these restrictions, it would mean billions in lost revenue for the Netherlands and an economic implosion in Amsterdam. The Dutch don’t smoke enough pot to support the billion dollar soft drug industry. Its the millions of tourists that inhale millions of grams of hash and marijuana annually. Who eat at restaurants and buy merchandise. Who pack hotel rooms in the coldest months of the year in a country with some of the most miserable weather on Earth.
Even the Board of Tourism in Amsterdam admits the importance to the economy of the city’s soft drug policies. Recent clos-ings of shops in the Red Light District fail to mention that the Greenhouse, perhaps one of the worlds best known hash and marijuana shops, is flourishing in the District as is the Blue-bird. The shops that were closed were dumps and more than likely the city council had tenants in line willing to pay enor-mous rental fees on retail property.
Amsterdam is gearing up to go head to head with the Dutch gov-ernment over this proposed ban. Amsterdam does not back off easily, especially if its revenue flow and its profitable tol-erant policies are threatened. it becomes that encircled for-tress that symbolically shields itself from outside criticism and intervention. Amsterdam has a way of agreeing to abide by demands from governments to back off regarding its ex-pansive soft drug policies and then tabling those issues until they “ get around to them on the agenda”.
Thats like asking how long is a piece of string? This time the right wing means business. Of course it makes no
sense to any economist or thinking human being with the lights still on for the government to commit tourism suicide but that’s what will happen if these restrictions are applied.
The government wants to close all border shops and ban tourists from shops in the southern part of country by the end of 2011. In 2012, these prohibitions will take effect for Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands. If you’ve ever wanted to visit this adult Disneyland of tolerance and freedom you might want to start planning early. If the right wing fools in the govern-ment of the Netherlands have their way, this thirty year ride through the magic castle of soft drug tolerance, use, and en-joyment for the rest of the planet will be over.
The economic devastation left in its wake will only be the begin-ning of a major loss of revenue for airlines, businesses, hotels and restaurants. I’m guessing it won’t happen. The Dutch had the Tulip Wars and now it looks like another plant, one even more profitable and popular than the tulip, is growing from the soil of political controversy. It will either thrive in this new Dutch environment of right wing governmental intrusion, or wither away. Hopefully, Dutch common sense will prevail avoiding a financial collapse for not only Amsterdam, but the Dutch economy as well.

Name/AKA: Compassion RI
Whereabouts: Southern Rhode Island
Years Growing Experience: 8 years
Number of Patients: Confidential. However, I am always willing to gift to patients in need of quality meds.
Organic or Hydro? My goal is to produce the highest quality medicine possible both in effect and in content. I believe organic methods best accomplish this goal; however, because I am very into medical cannabis research, I grow organic plants in soil, plants in coco coir, and a couple of hydroponic plants as well.
What chemicals do you use? I use Canna nutrients for all of my plants and frequently mix and match with Fox Farm, General Hydroponics, and other products. I grow many different strains at once I don’t have a set feeding schedule. I adjust according to the plants needs.
What strains have you grown?Mother’s FinestBlack DominaNorthern Lights x Big BudAK47 Golden SkushShitHashberryMazar-I-SharifExtreme IndicaWhite WidowSkunk #1BLZBlueberryBlue CheeseBlueberry Chemdawg

" I prefer really well grown and
well cured medicine that is free
of pests or contamination. "
What was the best piece of equipment you purchased? PH meter. It is the most important piece of equipment any grower could possibly need. I recommend everyone, regardless of growing method, keep some sort of PH measuring device and use it regularly.
What type of lighting? I use T-5’s, both warm and cool, and LED’s in my veg. room. I always flower at least one plant under LED’s and the rest are under 400w or 1000w light. I spent 2yrs researching and growing with only LED’s. I really like them and encourage other horticulturalists to try them out. When used properly they produce nice results.
Do you prefer Indica or Sativa? I prefer really well grown and well cured medicine that is free of pests or contamination. Usually I like a mix leaning toward the sativa side. If I want an indica effect I usually consume edibles.
What else do you do to help the community? I try to make myself as available as possible to consult growers in need of help or instruction. I am always willing to help out with clones and extra meds when available. I am actively working with pro medical marijuana organizations to forward the cause and intend to provide useful articles in the future to share knowledge and help new growers in the community to be productive and avoid problems.

Blackberry Kush is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. This indica-dominant Kush is derived from an Afghani mother crossed with DJ Shorts Blue Berry. This legendary pairing creates an absolutely gorgeous and sweet smelling strain. The aroma of Black-berry Kush is reminiscent of a stroll though a fresh blueberry patch after the rain. There is a sweet, fruity, al-most candy-like smell.
Everyone gets wide eyes when they catch a glimpse of this beautiful flower. The buds are dark green with a blueish-purple hue. Trichome for-mation is extensive. The buds are
covered in sticky white resins; very crystalline in appearance. Red and orange hairs create soft undertones to complete these spectacular look-ing buds. Almost all the colors of the spectrum are present in this mag-nificent specimen.
Blackberry Kush is quickly becoming an extremely popular strain for patients and caregivers in New England.
FLAVORANDEFFICACYBlackberry Kush is the quintessential
“couch-lock” bud. The powerful ef-fects characteristic of a Kush strain grip you almost immediately. It is perfect for smoking later in the day. However, this is a hybrid. Therefore, in the proper doses it is also useful during the day. The flavor is berry-like with a hint of fuel. This is one of
those strains that tastes like it smells, and looks like it tastes. The pedigree of this flavorful flower is the key to its effective-ness.This strain is perfect for what-ever ails you. Pain sufferers will be instantly relieved while the smoke is still expanding within their lungs. Upon exhale, a sweet sense of relaxation overcomes the body and you are: couch locked. The sedative effects of Blackberry Kush make it ideal for treating anxiety attacks, insom-nia, and even major depression. When sampled in small doses,
the smoke was smooth and sweet. In larger doses the smoke expands and you start coughing with a huge smile on your face.
Blackberry Kush will sooth your body and uplift your soul. This is the type of bud that could end a war. Issue some Blackberry to our soldiers oversees, guaranteed they wouldn’t want to shoot innocent Iraqis any-more. The sense of peace and fulfill-ment you can only get from know-ing you are smoking a top-shelf pre-mium strain of Medical Cannabis is evident in every peaceful toke. Love your body, love the Earth, love each-other, love Blackberry Kush.

BLACKBERRYKUSH
AUTISM'S ROOTSAutism is one of the most controversial modern diseases.
For years the government and medical community have claimed they do not know where Autism came from or why it appeared so suddenly. All the while spreading pro-paganda and misinformation to mislead the public as to it's true causes. Scientific studies conducted for the past 40 years have shed light on Autism's causes, but these reports go unrecognized by the government and medi-cal community who are in the pocket of big business. The same people who stand to lose a lot of money if the word gets out that they are in fact, responsible.
The first case of Autism was diagnosed by psychiatrist Leo Kanner in 1943 . This is not a timeless condition that has been affecting the human race for millenia. Autism is a modern, man-made condition; the direct result of heavy metals being introduced into a fetus or developing child's body. The young developing body can not eliminate all the toxins. Everything from genetically modified pro-cessed food to cosmetics and vaccines to pesticides and preservatives are all responsible for overloading our chil-dren's bodies with a large array of toxins.
The cause of Autism as stated by the The National Autism As-sociation is: Thimerosal. Thimerosal is an inorganic mer-cury compound that is metabolized to ethylmercury. Thi-merosal came on the scene in the 1930’s as a preservative in some vaccines and pharmaceutical products to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination.
According to scientists at The University of Calgary: Depart-ment of Physiology and Biophysics, Thimerosal which be-comes Mercury once it is metabolized by the body, causes severe brain neuron degeneration. Neurons are the nerve cells that make up our brain and nervous system. The de-struction of these important electrically and chemically conductive cells is what causes the erratic and abnormal behaviors we see in Autism.
The FDA has never required pharmaceutical manufacturers to conduct adequate safety testing on Thimerosal and ethylmercury compounds. Current evidence suggests, Thimerosal is neither safe nor effective when used as a preservative in vaccines.
(UN)HEALTHY DOSE OF PROPAGANDAHowever, the high and mighty medical authorities say we
must pump our newborn's still developing bodies full of chemical vaccines. As of 2011 it is currently recommended by doctors that newborn babies receive 17-25 different vaccines before the age of two. Under normal circum-stances this would alarm and outrage most parents, who should be snatching their children away from the doctors injecting these chemicals into their tiny newborns.
But instead, through a very clever propaganda campaign per-petrated by our government, and the major pharmaceuti-cal companies; have managed to brainwash the masses of this country into thinking that injecting our newborns with chemical vaccines is not only safe, but absolutely necessary for the health of our children. There have been over 1500 studies and papers documenting the toxicity of Thimerosal alone; not to mention all other heavy metals in products deemed safe by our FDA, whose true motiva-tions are dubious at best.
Knowing this, the FDA and pharmaceutical companies contin-ued to put Thimerosal in their vaccines and other products. Between 1992 and 2001, according to the US Department of Education: there has been a 644% increase in Autism cases in children. Even the American Medical Association of Pediatrics is calling it an epidemic; 1 in 9 children are now disabled by Autism according to US Department of Education statistics.

WHY DO THEY APPROVE SO MANY HARMFUL CHEMICALS?Now the logical question we all must ask is: what makes the
FDA not only approve Thimerosal but market it to the US population as a necessary medicine? Between 1960 and 1990 the population of the world doubled. It was fore-seen that in another 30 years the population would dou-ble again, this is called: exponential growth. In this unbal-anced world that lets whole continents starve while other countries exploit them for resources, is determined to be by the Ruling Elite: unable to support such growth.
Therefore, there has been a subtly insidious, global, system-atic effort to reduce the population of Earth. All one must do is conduct a simple internet search for "US birth rate" to see the sharp decline in recent years. Mainstream news will never report this, because they are owned by the same people who own the corporations that control our government. To them we are just:"useless eaters"; they know that a nation of overweight, pill-popping, fast-food munching, diabetic zombies will never resist, or at the very least realize there is even a problem. The result of this type of lifestyle is a short, miserable, unhappy life in which free thought, civil disobedience, and physical activ-ity in general, are markedly diminished.
Through the Elite's control of the US government and every agency therein, they have proceeded to bombard us with an onslaught of chemicals designed to subtlety impair body and brain function. Everything from Fluoride in the water, which was first developed by Nazis for use in con-centration camp water to: "promote a more docile pris-oner"; to white government airplanes spraying chemicals over all our heads which is evident by the "chemtrails" everyone has been seeing lately. Even most of the food average people eat is laced with synthetic chemical pre-servatives and sweeteners. All of these chemicals, though said to be safe by the corrupt FDA, are truly killing us slowly. Add to that a cocktail of prescription drugs and hours spent watching mindless television game shows, it becomes clear the type of population they are trying to create.
NEW FINDINGSNow that we know why the FDA allows all manor of harmful
food and drugs into the population it is supposedly there to protect, while at the same time demonizing Cannabis, a mind opening and highly medicinal naturally occurring plant, in favor of synthetic chemical drugs designed to rob us of our human qualities. Many recent studies by compa-nies such as, Cannabis Science Inc. and organizations like, The Unconventional Foundation for Autism have shown there is proven benefits to using Cannabis to treat some symptoms of Autism.
Many parents of Autistic children have tried just about every drug on the market to try to control the symptoms of Au-tism, with little success. The side effects alone of most of the anti-psychotic drugs would make any responsible par-ent think twice about using them. Therefore, what option is left to parents who live in fear of the violent outbursts of their autistic child? What is a parent to do when their child is so disruptive in school his teachers have to where hockey pads while restraining him? The answer is clear: Cannabis.
Cannabis has been proven safe and effective when treating certain symptoms of Autism. Cannabis is non-lethal in any dose, with little to no adverse side effects, even for young children. The best way to administer Cannabis to a child is by eating Cannabis laced foods or tea.
SOCIETY DOES NOT ALWAYS APPROVEParents who administer Cannabis to their autistic children
must often keep it secret, because of the negative ste-reotypes surrounding the use of the plant. Even though it helps the child immensely, they risk the child being taken into protective custody for supposed abuse. When in all reality they are using a highly effective, natural plant-de-rived medicine. Rhode Island is one of the states where Medical Marijuana is legal, and a number of autistic chil-dren and adults hold Medical Marijuana licenses. Now it's time for the mainstream health care industry to get on board, we can not keep letting them control us by only of-fering chemical laden pills with deadly side-effects, when Cannabis is natural and readily available.
Medical Marijuana proponents face an uphill battle against hardcore bureaucracies like the FDA, who have a proven track record of not caring at all about the population of this country. Our government has been hijacked and turned into a corporate fascist state much like Aldous Hux-ley's Brave New World, where a nation of automatons pop happy pills and go about their dull lives never knowing their entire life is being controlled by a ruling elite who looks down on them like worms.
It was Benito Mussolini who said: "Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and gov-ernment power." This is the Leviathan we all face. It's time for patriotic, free-thinking people to stand up for ourselves, and the US Constitution, before they take that away from us too.

Mohammed allows
Cannabis but forbids the use of alcohol by Muslims.
In Khorasan, Persia;
Hasan ibn al-Sabbah, the Old Man of the Mountain, recruits followers to commit assassinations. Legends develop around their supposed use of hashish. These legends are some of the earliest written
tales of the discovery of the inebriating powers of Cannabis and the supposed use of Hashish.
Angolan slaves
brought Cannabis with them to the sugar plantations of northeastern Brazil. They were permitted to plant their Cannabis between rows of cane, and to smoke it between harvests.
The French and British cultivate Cannabis and
Hemp in their colonies at Port Royal (1606), Virginia (1611), and Plymouth (1632).
Napoleon discovers
that much of the Egyptian lower class habitually uses Hashish. He declares a total prohibition. Soldiers returning to France bring the Hashish home

Cannabis begins to be prohibited for non-medical use in the US, especially in southwestern
states.
Recreational use of Cannabis is banned in Britain.
Propaganda film Reefer Madness is produced by alcohol
companies and intended to scare American youth away from using Cannabis.

Commission urged use of Cannabis to be re-legalized and prohibition repealed. However, their
recommendation was ignored. Medical research continued in the US and elsewhere.
FDA establishes: Compassionate Use program for Medical Marijuana in the US.
California passes Proposition 215. This made the medical use of Cannabis legal with a doctor’s recommendation.
Todd McCormick
becomes the first person arrested under federal law for growing Cannabis after Prop 215 was passed in California.

Does the Cannabis industry profit more from being illegal? Who does Can-nabis prohibition really benefit? The answers to
these questions might sur-prise you. The documenta-ry follows filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he interviews everyone from growers to politicians to Harvard sci-entists. Scorgie makes the obvious comparison of Cannabis to alcohol and cigarettes and exposes the hypocrisy and corporate interests that are still at work demonizing this an-cient plant; which has been beloved by cultures the world over for millennia. This is a must see for any-one interested in hearing the truth about Cannabis prohibition.
It’s summer festival season and classic rock jam bands can be heard playing in fields all across the country. But you don’t need to buy a 100-plus dollar ticket or pack a tent to hear some classic summer of love rock-and-roll. Moonstone Lady is a New England band who’s musical style makes hippies and hipsters alike jump up and dance the night away.
Moonstone Lady’s newest release is a full-length live album that includes rockin’ original tracks as well as covers like “Good Lovin” and “Fire on the Mountain”.
Songs like Moonstone’s “Johnny and Jenny” show the band’s ability to create and jam on new original music that contains the same en-ergy as some of classic rock’s greats. The sound is love at first listen for any fan of The Great-ful Dead, The Allman Brothers, and other blues-influenced rock and jam bands.
You can catch Moon-stone Lady live at clubs, music halls, and fields in greater Boston and the rest of New England. Their album “Time” can be found in CD and Mp3 formats at www.fnicerecords.com

~Cannabis can also be mixed in food or brewed as a tea – www.CannabisRecipe.com The best medible I have ever had has been a blueberry muffin! You can make anything with the CannaButter!
~Cannabis has been used for 1000s of years for medical, social, and religious reasons and for relaxation. -http://hubpages.com/hub/Fun-Facts-About-Marijuana
It is logical to determine that medical marijuana is one of the most natural medicines and it should be available. It has been used for treating a plethora of illnesses. This medicinal herb has been documented at being used medically since before Christ, probably for the relief of pain and common stomach aches. Seems to me they had the right idea.
~The United States Census of 1850 counted 8,327 Hemp “plantations” (minimum of 2,000 acre farm) growing Cannabis Hemp for cloth, canvas, and even cordage used to bail cotton. www.
drugwarrant.com/articles/why-is-
marijuana-illegal
According to many experts,
Hemp as an industrial product was vital to the building of America. It was only later made illegal due to pressure on lawmakers by influentail corporations who did not want to compete with the Hemp industry.
~The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper.
www.hubpages.com/hub/Fun-Facts-
About-Marijuana
Hemp is used for clothing today, some variations of paper and in many other daily used products. Our nation is becoming aware of enviornmental problems. Why shouldn’t Hemp be used for most products? It’s inexpensive and easily produced, economically speaking it makes sense.
~ Marijuana cures and prevents more than 100 diseases including cancer and depression. http://www.interestingfacts.org/fact/facts-about-marijuana
Cannabis relieves rheumatoid arthritis, GI Disorders, MS, Sleep Apnea, it can calm down turrets syndrome, fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s, and many other diseases. It would help more than a third of our nation by curing depression alone. If medical marijuana were to be legalized in most states patients could get the side-effect free medicine that they need to be healthy.

Here’s a story that will initially break, and then uplift your heart. It is also a story that exemplifies the profound healing power of Cannabis.
Cash Michael Hyde was only 20 months old when radiologists at
the Community Medical Center in Missoula, Montana discov-ered a 4.5-centimeter Stage IV brain tumor. There is no stage five.
Shortly thereafter, the toddler was transported to Primary Chil-dren’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah; where he was placed in the intensive care unit. The little boy underwent arduous sessions of chemotherapy treatment to reduce the tumor’s growth. This produced severe side effects, seizures and blood infections were common.
In August 2010 Cash underwent his first high-dose chemotherapy treatment. This made him so weak and nauseous he was un-able to lift his head off the pillow, and his appetite diminished to the point where he had not eaten for 40 days. At this point, little Cash was surviving on nutrients via gastric feeding tube.
“By the end of September he was so sick,” Mike Hyde, the boy’s fa-ther told FoxNews.com. “He was no longer able to take feed-ings into his G-tube. His stomach lining was burnt from the chemotherapy and was no longer processing anything; it was fried. I asked the doctors if there was anything else we can give him, and they said: ‘We’re giving him max amounts of all anti-nausea medications we can give him.’ They basically told me that this was as good as it was going to get. I told them that was: unacceptable.”
Seeing his son rapidly declining, and hearing the doctors offer nothing but more and more pharmaceutical drugs, it was at this point that Cash’s father decided to take action. He began to use Cannabis (which has no negative side effects) to help his young son. Cash’s doctors in Salt Lake City refused to even discuss the option. They really only knew about synthetic drugs. Today, medical schools are bombarded by sales reps from huge pharmaceutical corporations. Doctors are taught that modern medicine is the only thing that works. As a result, “alternative treatments” which are actually age-old natural remedies, are pushed to the back burner and deemed archaic and foolish compared to synthetic drugs created in laborato-ries. The reason being: synthetic drugs can be patented and marketed to the masses who are ever eager to gobble pills for everything from restless legs to major depression.
With this in mind, Cash’s father went and sought a Medical Mari-juana prescription in his home state of Montana. He then be-gan to secretly administer Cannabis oil through his son’s feed-ing tube. Hyde was able to access the oil for his son through the Medical Marijuana card that was issued by the state of
Montana in Cash’s name. At this point he told the doctors to stop giving Cash the cocktail of anti-nausea drugs he had been taking.
“Doctors told us he was not going to make it.” Mike Hyde recalled. “They said he would have brain damage and his lungs would fail. But I knew the medicine (Cannabis oil) was in his body, and that helped him heal. It helped to rebuild his stomach lining, his liver, and his lungs. He walked out of the ICU in mid-December. The nurses and doctors called him a Christ-mas miracle.”
Cash, who is now three-years old, was released from the hospital in January 2011. Doctors say his prognosis looks excellent. Re-cently he went for a check-up, and Cash’s doctors didn’t even recognize him.
“They were amazed” Mike Hyde said. “The brain scans were amazing, his tumor is gone and his liver and kidneys are 100% healed. He should be on dialysis, but he’s out running around.”
Hyde acknowledges that chemotherapy killed the cancer. How-ever, he said it almost killed his son in the process. Mike Hyde and countless others believe that Cannabis itself, and the availability of Medical Marijuana in his home state was cru-cial to the boy’s remarkable recovery.
“It brought him to the edge of life. If I wouldn’t have stepped in when I did, he wouldn’t be here right now. The Marijuana oil was the best pain drug available for Cashy. As well as being: a neuron-protectant, antioxidant, and antibacterial. I know it saved Cash’s life.”
Mike Hyde with his son Cash in the hospital last December, and now fully recovered.

MAKING THE HASHTo make the hash oil: use a double boiler with water in the bottom pot, and the liquid from the hash press in the inner pot. Heat on low, stirring lightly; keep careful watch not to burn it. Make sure your water does not completely boil away, if it does: add more. Remove from heat as soon as the alcohol is boiled away from the hash press liquid. What you are left with is gooey hash oil. Enjoy.

“I would work to phase out the IRS immediately and abolish the Federal Reserve. We live way beyond our means, with a foreign policy that we cannot afford and an entitlement system we have encouraged. We print money for it, the value of the money goes down and poor people pay higher prices. That is a tax; it’s a transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to Wall Street. Wall Street is doing quite well but the inflation tax is eating away at the middle class in this country, we need to get rid of the inflation tax with sound money. I would decriminalize marijuana at the federal level. I don’t have control over the states. And that’s why the Constitution’s there.”Dr. Ron Paul Ronald Ernest “Ron” Paul is an American medical doctor, a twelve-term Republican U.S. Congressman, the founder of the advocacy group Cam-paign for Liberty and the author of nu-merous published articles and books. Paul currently serves on the House For-eign Affairs Committee, the Joint Eco-nomic Committee, the Committee on Financial Services and is Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcom-mittee on Domestic Monetary Policy. Paul is a graduate of Gettysburg Col-lege and the Duke University School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. From 1963 until 1968, during the Vietnam War, Paul served as a flight sur-geon in the United States Air Force. Be-fore entering politics in 1976, he worked as an obstetrician and gynecologist and began his own practice, delivering more than 4,000 babies. During his early years as a med-ical student, Paul became interested in classical liberalism. He was influenced by Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek’s work, The Road to Serfdom. In his book, Hayek warns about the danger of tyr-anny that inevitably results from gov-ernment control of economic decision-making through central planning. This
process erodes civil liberties and leads to an autocratic dictatorship. Soon, ideas such as: limited government, liberty of individuals, free-dom of religion, speech, press, assem-bly, and free markets, instilled a deep passion within Paul. Socialism seemed a hypocritical theory. Its alleged humani-tarian goals could only be carried out by brutal methods. Centralized systems, to be effective, require unrelenting propa-ganda so that the people come to be-lieve that the state’s goals are their own. Not only is centralization undemocratic, because it depends solely on the will of a small minority that is forced upon the people, it completely obliterates the very notion that con-stitutes the Rule of Law. A classic ex-ample of the Saturnia regna convergence, one ring to rule them all, was the passing of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. This Act of Congress created the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States of America, and granted it the legal authority to issue legal tender. With this Act, Congress transferred its power to “coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of for-eign coin” to a privately owned bank. When you combine government and a monopoly, you get a cartel. The Federal Reserve System is not a part of our federal government. There are no reserves of real money, gold or silver. It is unconstitutional. These bankers have been given au-thority by the people’s representatives in Congress to print paper money, and now electronic money, out of nothing. On August 15, 1971, as predict-ed by Austrian economists, the United States unilaterally terminated convert-ibility of the dollar to gold. Leaving the
gold standard and entering into fiat cur-rency. This day would mark the begin-ning of the young Doctor’s political ca-reer. Rooted in his belief that the monetary crisis of the 1970s was caused by excessive government spending on the Vietnam War and welfare, Paul be-came a delegate to the Texas Republican convention and a Republican candidate for the United States Congress. His con-victions would soon mirror our Founding Father’s vision. A chance to build a de-cent world was, “to improve the general level of wealth”, via the activities of free markets and ensuring civil liberties and individual freedoms. These core values
would turn out to define and shape Paul’s grassroots congressional and presidential climb. The goal: Restoring integrity by reviving the common sense of the loss masses and bringing liberty
home to stay. Ron Paul has never voted to raise taxes. He has refused plush con-gressional pensions that congressman give themselves and introduced one of the first bills in congress to limit con-gressional terms. Believing strongly in the legalization of industrial hemp and much in favor the legalization of mari-juana, Dr. Ron Paul is very confident that society prospers when the people rely on their own resources first and look to governments last. “When your job is to bring new life into the world all of a sudden it makes you really aware of what kind of world these children are coming into, what they have to face.” Dr. Ron Paul
