It was recently observed that Ron Paul was to the left of Obama on national security and the best evidence for that statement can be found when one year ago Ron Paul joined forces with Barney Frank on a proposal to gut national defense via a panel of experts, quite a few of whom were tied to George Soros. In July 2010, Barney Frank and Ron Paul co-authored a Huffington Post article rolling out their Sustainable Defense Task Force. The Task Force “consisting of experts on military expenditures that span the ideological spectrum” would recommend a trillion dollars in defense cuts. The experts, however, didn’t quite “span the ideological spectrum” — more like float under it. The panel of experts who would decide how to best gut national defense featured such independent thinkers as William D. Hartung of the New America Foundation. Hartung’s main expertise was appearing in “Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire.” Then there was Lawrence J. Kolb of the Center for American Progress and Miriam Pemberton of the Institute for Policy Studies. If you want to know what the Center, the Foundation and the Institute all have in common, it’s Hungarian and smells like stale cabbage and the death of nations. The rather creepy Institute for Policy Studies issued a paper proposing that Obama act as king and rule through executive orders. The New American Foundation is not only backed by Soros but has his son on its leadership council. The Center for American Progress is run by the co-chair of Obama’s transition team and is, for all intents and purposes, the think tank of the White House. All three are Soros funded. But it doesn’t end there. Also on the panel was Christopher Hellman of the National Priorities Project (NPP). If you are wondering what the NPP is, it’s a think tank whose objective is to “influence national spending priorities.” And if you’re in the mood for a double, Miriam Pemberton is also on the board of the NPP. The man behind the curtain at NPP? None other than our favorite Hungarian James Bond villain. Going further down the list there’s Winslow Wheeler of the Center for Defense Information (CDI). The CDI’s goal is to strengthen “national and international security through international cooperation [and] reduced reliance on unilateral military power to resolve conflict.” CDI operates under the aegis of the World Security Institute, which is apparently the least creepy name they could think of. Wheeler is a Counterpunch contributor, a site which even Stalinists think goes a bit too far. CDI gets money from the Open Society Institute (OSI) where the stench of death and stale cabbage never goes away. Then there’s Charles Knight and Carl Conetta of the Project for Defense Alternatives, which appears to be a subset of the Commonwealth Institute. Of its board of directors, S.M. Miller is also the founder of United for a Fair Economy which enjoys generous support from a certain philanthropic chap who occasionally destroys economies for sport. Another member, Guy Molyneux, has also worked with OSI. A third board member, Richard Healey, was formerly director of the Institute for Policy Studies and is on the advisory board of the Center for Social Inclusion, founded by two OSI veterans. If you think this can’t get any worse, meet Paul Kawika Martin of Peace Action (PA). You might know PA better by its old name, the “Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy” or just “SANE,” a Communist front group investigated by none other than Senator Thomas Dodd. PA has the same attitude toward American defense that burglars have toward alarm systems in other people’s homes. They don’t like them very much. And they have a “five year strategic plan” for the job. Paul Kawika Martin travels around fighting progress on board The Rainbow Warrior and is also involved with Physicians for Social Responsibility. Martin has also collaborated with the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), a front for the Iranian regime. I think you can guess by now who funds Physicians for Social Responsibility. Also on the task force is Laicie Olson of the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. The Center is actually a subset of the Council for a Livable World. Olson originally worked for Physicians for Social Responsibility. Another task force member was Heather Hurlburt of the National Security Network (NSN). The NSN’s goals are to “build a strong progressive national security and counter conservative spin.” Its founder was part of Obama’s transition team and resigned to work for Janet Napolitano. Soros’s OSI helped fund NSN, and its Special Counsel was on the NSN Policy Committee. If you’re tired of reading through all this, then here’s the summary. Of the Paul-Frank Task Force, 9 out of 14 members were linked to Soros’s organs. Two were affiliated with the Cato Institute. One is indeterminate. Ron Paul proposed to put a bunch of Soros-funded think tank experts in charge of dismantling the US military. Think about that for a moment. Ron Paul supporters can see conspiracies in a glass of water; can they see anything wrong with this picture? Can they see anything wrong with having a man from a group that was investigated for its Communist ties in the driver’s seat on national defense? The task force’s proposals included cutting nuclear deterrence; reducing the fleet by 57 ships, including two carriers; canceling the Joint Strike Fighter; “severely curtail missile defense” — and that is a direct quote from the report — retiring four Marine battalions; reducing the military by 200,000 personnel; cutting defense research spending by 50 billion over ten years; and increasing health care fees for members of the military. Not only did Paul join forces with Barney Frank to slash military preparedness, but he ended up putting the experts of a foreign billionaire with global ambitions in charge of the project. And that was what he did as a congressman. Can anyone imagine what he would do as president? But why would Ron Paul allow George Soros that much power and influence over America’s defense policy? There are a number of possibilities. There is the possibility that Ron Paul just didn’t know and didn’t bother to do his research. Which is not much of a recommendation for the job he’s running for. There’s another possibility that Ron Paul knew and didn’t care, that he had no objection to being part of a left-right alliance against the “American Empire” with Soros. But there’s also a third possibility. During the previous election, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq (AAEI) ran an ad praising Ron Paul for his position against the war. AAEI was an umbrella group for MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, SEIU, Americans United For Change, the National Security Network and others in the progressive bestiary. A number of those beasties were Soros groups. I’m not one to dabble in conspiracy theories, but when Soros pays for an ad praising you during the Republican primaries and then you put his experts in charge of America’s defense policy, then maybe some questions should be asked.

In July 2010, Barney Frank and Ron Paul co-authored a Huffington Post article rolling out their Sustainable Defense Task Force. The Task Force “consisting of experts on military expenditures that span the ideological spectrum” would recommend a trillion dollars in defense cuts. The experts, however, didn’t quite “span the ideological spectrum” — more like float under it. The panel of experts who would decide how to best gut national defense featured such independent thinkers as William D. Hartung of the New America Foundation. Hartung’s main expertise was appearing in “Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of American Empire.” Move along citizens, NOTHING to see HERE right CULT boys? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. But it's OK with you CULTISTS because it's your wee failed FRAUD hero eh gurls? RonniePAULIE UNFIT for the US Presidency, no matter what party he runs as.
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
I had to stop reading your rant right there. What a crock of BS. Who "observed" this phenomena, besides some silly political shill akin to a mutt such as you?
LOL! Yeah, right. Let's DO dabble in this CT. Hang on boys, girls and Mad Dog, and let me see what I can find. I mean, besides another neoconservative hit piece.
There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box and the ammo box. Please use in that order.
Uhhhhhmmmmmm...bullshit! Their Task Force? Frank and Paul's task force? Crock 'o shit alert! Task Force members serve as individuals. Affiliations are listed for identification purposes and do not imply organizational endorsement of the Task Force findings. The Sustainable Defense Task Force was formed in response to a request from Representative Barney Frank (D-MA), working in cooperation with Representative Walter B. Jones (R-NC), Representative Ron Paul (R-TX), and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), to explore possible defense budget contributions to deficit reduction efforts that would not compromise the essential security of the United States. The Project on Defense Alternatives coordinated the work of the Task Force. Carl Conetta drafted the main body of the Task Force report in ongoing consultation with Task Force members who developed or digested proposals from the diverse sources cited in the report. A sub-committee of the Task Force reviewed the final draft before publication. It should not be assumed that all Task Force members endorse all items and sections of the report. Of course, that doesn't stop you from assuming all sorts of wild CT's does it? Here are the facts... 1. Four House Representatives, Frank, Paul, Jones and Widen requested that a task force be put together "to explore possible defense budget contributions to deficit reduction efforts that would not compromise the essential security of the United States." www.comw.org/pda/1006SDTF.html From what I can ascertain so far, the Project on Defense Alternatives put together this task force. Of course, the article you posted above conveniently leaves out the FACTS that the Task Force also included Benjamin H Friedman and Christopher Preble of the CATO Institute and Laura Peterson, of Taxpayers for Common Sense. Debt, Deficits, & Defense: A Way Forward, the report of the Sustainable Defense Task Force, 11 June 2010. Full Text | Executive Summary | C-SPAN video of the report release briefing hosted by Rep. Barney Frank, U.S. Capitol Visitors Center, 11 June 2010. Let's see what else I can find. :o)

No let's NOT cult boy, YOU argue and spin this stuff cult boy. In fact cult boy, PROVE that your wee failed hero ISN'T a SOROS tool. Because I DON'T CARE, BECAUSE I AND 90% of the AMERICAN ELECTORATE ARE NEVER, EVER, GOING TO VOTE FOR YOUR LITTLE FRAUD. (Unless he is the ONLY choice other than the messiah "king" obammy of course.) Btw CULT boy, when you do a quote you need to cite it's source. I didn't say what you quoted, did I cult boy? Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.

Opening paragraph of the executive summary of the report... At a time of growing concern over federal deficits, it is essential that all elements of the federal budget be subjected to careful scrutiny. The Pentagon budget should be no exception. As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates noted in a recent speech, paraphrasing President Dwight D. Eisenhower, “The United States should spend as much as necessary on national defense, but not one penny more.”3 This report presents a series of options which, taken together, could save up to $960 billion between 2011 and 2020. (GASP!!!) I still don't see anywhere that Paul wants to do away with the US Armed Forces.

Well, I definitely don't see how asking a task force to explore possible defense budget cuts means that Paul wants to do away with the US Armed Forces! Maybe if I drink a couple bottles of cheap Russian vodka, I might.

Oh goody, your favorite website. Legislation/bills from either congress critter = 0. So they're thinking of cutting some pork from the defense budget, and maybe even minding our own business. Is there something wrong with any of that?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
You made that comment in response to #5 and all I did in #5 was post a link to the final report PDF! The following is a "koan", pay attention TARD, you just MIGHT learn something. PROVE everything TARD. PROVE that RonniePAULIE isn't a SOROS whore, PROVE that pdf is REALLY the correct and complete pdf, PROVE it you little yapping PaulTARD TOOL.

Phuck you TARD. I waste enough time dealing with you slack jawed droolers. You know it takes a certain kind of CUNT to accuse people of being drunk or drunks. A PaulTARD sort of CUNT. The sort of CUNT who is incapable of actual independent LOGICAL intellectually HONEST thought.

I suppose that it can be said that you have already disavowed your New Year's resolutions for having diplomacy and to limit your expletive-deletives from your typical Internet posting. All I can say is that you tried and you deserve not an ATTA-DAWG for the meager attempt but an AHH-SHIT this fine day, January 02.
So you can call me a CUNT, which you've done for years now, but you get your feelings hurt if I call you a drunk? And no, I can't prove a negative, though if anyone could, it would be me. ;o) Don't take this shit so seriously Dog. Have fun with it. If we're not going to plug the hole, the least we can do is have fun while the ship sinks.

. I don't take THIS SHIT seriously. It's like you say, wtf can we really DO? NOTHING is what. I take being called a DRUNK, or of being accused of being DRUNK in the middle of the day seriously. Yeah well, as I have said before I didn't give myself my nickname, others did. I do EVERYTHING with passion. Sometimes too much so. My rule is IF I would knock a person on their azz if they were face to face with me I call them THAT name. IMO you are one of the good guys. I find your "moonstruck" love affair with him to be really distressing. If the little failed FRAUD can hook you ... we're PHUCKED. But I freely say that I will vote for him IF he is the ONLY choice against the messiah "king" obammy. You aren't EVER going to change my mind about him. Because I base my opinion on his TRACK record. Otherwise, don't call me a drunk, and I won't call you a cunt.

LOL! Good. I feel the same about you, even if I disagree with your political positions. I know you well enough to know you'd be on the right side if SHTF. God, I hate saying SHTF! I find your "moonstruck" love affair with him to be really distressing. I'm not moonstruck and I'm not in love with him. In fact, I could list the views that he holds that I disagree with, but, that would be counterproductive at this point. I just feel he's the best choice out of those running and I'm scared that the neos won't beat Obama like McCain didn't. If the little failed FRAUD can hook you ... we're PHUCKED. LOLOL! I'm taking that as a compliment! But I freely say that I will vote for him IF he is the ONLY choice against the messiah "king" obammy. I'm glad. Many won't. Otherwise, don't call me a drunk, and I won't call you a cunt. I don't really mind if you call me anything you want to. My skin could almost stop a bullet. Figuratively speaking of course.

Well ... we can't talk if we get the boot from the site. So I've been trying to be more circumspect language wise. Please remember this is me being "GOOD". Of course with the little libTARD beeeeyachs around here if you cough they faint. It would be absurd to even want us all to agree on everything, FREEDOM does NOT lie in THAT direction. I admit that I much prefer personal "interactions" to be face to face.
