Weekly Update --- Congress Spending Surge is National Suicide
Video - Wednesday August 7, 2019 - Ron Paul
By Ron Paul - With a national debt approaching $23 trillion and a trillion dollar deficit for this year alone, Congress last week decided to double down on suicidal spending, passing a two year budget that has the United States careening toward catastrophe. While we cannot say precisely when the economic crash will occur, we do know that it is coming. And last week Congress pounded down on the accelerator.

We are told that the US economy is experiencing unprecedented growth, while at the same time the Fed is behaving as it does when we are in recession by cutting rates…and dodging insults from the President because it’s not cutting fast enough. This is not economic policy – it’s schizophrenia!

But that’s only the beginning.

Take what they call “national defense” spending. This is the misnomer they use to try and convince us that pumping trillions into the military-industrial complex will make us safe and free. Nothing could be further from the truth: probably ninety percent of the “defense” budget is aggressive militarism and welfare for the rich.

Under this budget deal the military budget would increase to nearly $1.4 trillion for two years. Of course that’s only a fraction of real military spending, which is, all told, well over one trillion dollars per year.

What do we get for this money? Are we safer? Not at all. We are more vulnerable than ever. We spend billions fighting “terrorism” in Africa while terrorism has actually increased since the creation of the US Africa Command – “AFRICOM” – in 2007. Meanwhile we continue to spend to maintain our illegal military occupation of a large section of Syria – which benefits terrorist groups seeking to overthrow Assad.

We’re sending thousands more troops to the Middle East including basing US troops in Saudi Arabia for the first time since 2003. Back then, even neocon Paul Wolfowitz praised our departure from Saudi Arabia because, as he rightly stated, US troops on Saudi soil was a great recruiting tool for al-Qaeda.

Now we’ve pulled out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty so that we can deploy once-forbidden missiles on China’s front door. A new arms race with China will mean a new boon for our new Defense Secretary’s former colleagues at Raytheon!

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) pronounced the Tea Party dead with the adoption of this budget. He’s right of course, but only when it comes to Congress. Given the opportunity, I still believe a good part of the American people will vote for candidates who promise to rein in the national credit card. President Trump himself ran on a platform of ending deficit spending and even paying off the national debt!

So the Tea Party may be dead in Washington, but I am not convinced it was ever really alive in Washington. With a few exceptions, most politicians saw the Tea Party as just the flavor of the month. Spending is what keeps Washington alive and keeps the DC suburbs rich. They’re not about to cut back on their own.

But the spending will end. The trillions thrown down the drain on militarism will end. The only question is whether it will end when we are completely bankrupt and at the mercy of countries we’ve kicked around for decades or whether Americans will demand an end to bipartisan addiction to war and spending in Washington!

Nancy Pelosi: 'It's Not A Pay Raise, It's A Cost Of Living Increase'

At her weekly news conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked whether it's appropriate at this time for Congress to give itself a pay raise. "It's not a pay raise, it's a COLA increase," Pelosi responded. "And whether that comes to be, I don't know. It would have to be a bipartisan initiative." In this case, Congress could allow itself a COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) that would raise lawmakers' pay by $4,500 to $178,500, up from the current $174,000. (According to the Congressional Research Service, members of both the House and Senate are paid a salary of $174,000. The House and Senate majority and minority leaders are paid $193,400; and the speaker of the House is paid $223,500.) Although the move has been put on hold for now, Pelosi said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) supports the pay raise as recognition "of the work that is done."

"Let me just say, listening to the members, because it's never a good time to bring up something like this -- there is a sentiment in the country that Congress should not be just… people who can afford to go to Congress," Pelosi said. "It should be about everybody having the opportunity -- many more women, many more people of color, and the rest. And that that is where some of the unease comes from, that people say, it shouldn't just be for wealthy people. "Well, it isn't just for wealthy people. But there is that impression. And there is an impression among members that it is hard to have two homes, raise a family, and all the rest. So that's part of what the discussion is." Pelosi said the issue for her is the "revolving door spinning madly" involving people in the Executive Branch, many of whom are "all connected to the special interests," she said.

A reporter noted that the American people don't think that "Congress gets things done." Pelosi responded: "Look, we have a president who is ignoring the law, not honoring his oath of office, not honoring the office he holds. We have a funding challenge… we must pass the appropriations bills… "We're still having the cap fight, the lifting of the debt ceiling. We have the president transferring nuclear technology as well as other weaponry to a country that is getting away with murder, and he chooses to ignore it… So we have important policy matters to deal with. She concluded: "I think I've spent enough on speculating as to whether there'll be something (a COLA increase) or not, which we don't know if there will be."

You can share the video link/url, or you could do that + download a copy to keep for yourself, edit/alter if you choose to, or even to simply just mirror/re-upload it to a channel you've on YouTube, or any other website.

If you'd prefer to use a different service to download a specific Bitchute.com video, you can always do a Google Search for something like "Download Bitchute Videos" to find a different method.
For us, when in basic modern-day version of IE web browser, we can simply right-click a Bitchute.com video while it plays, and select 'save video as...' which will initiate a download of that Bitchute video.

If you do choose to download a copy of this video, or any others, please do consider joining the effort of re-uploading/mirroring them all across the World Wide Web.
Some examples of this can be: On Facebook.com, Tumblr.com, Twitter.com, Voat.co, Gab.ai (they ban people who expose the nose!), YouTube.com, Reddit.com, Vimeo.com, 4Shared.com, MegaUpload.com, GoogleDrive, DailyMotion.com, Archive.org, WordPress.com & various others!

Essentially, any website that a video file can be uploaded on-to, especially if they have a *Public-Database of the files [like Archive.org, or YouTube.com / etc.]; Or you could alternatively/additionally post whatever given Video's URL around the net [Tumblr, Reddit, Facebook, etc.] to get new potential viewers on the web-address.

We wish to see-to-it that these videos are downloaded/re-uploaded as-much-as-possible by as-many-people-as-possible to all of the websites listed above, and any others we left-out!

We must help to make the truth spread far & wide, and with the World Wide Web at our fingertips we absolutely must make-use of that advantage if we have functional brains at all!
Download the videos, re-name them if you wish, edit them if you desire, use the footage to even break-apart the original video itself and create your own new video out of it, if you choose.
Join People from All Around The World in Helping Make The Truth Go Viral! It feels good to see your uploaded [even if it is all mirrored like the vast majority of everything on this channel] content gaining views, even if it only starts with little numbers. You never know when those numbers could drastically increase [given the video/website it was uploaded to remains up & also that the JIDFrats don't shut it down/get it banned from the given site in question], if it ever gets posted/indexed in the right spot online, it can be clicked-to by many people.

The last thing we wish to leave-off on with this msg, to our viewers & subscribers:
Please don't forget that if you aren't good at downloading/re-uploading videos to YouTube.com or other websites which is extremely simple to learn how to do, by the way; You can always still simply take the video URL (the web-address, or "the link", as it is often also called) & post it to websites like Facebook.com / Tumblr.com / Twitter.com / Google+ / Instagram / Etc.
That brings more viewers here, and sense this is not a video-hosting website as popular as JewGoogle's YouTube operation: We do need assistance with bringing-as-many-individuals-here-as-possible. So, if you like some of the truth in one of our videos, don't be shy to post it around the net!

Feel free to do so, because as long as Bitchute.com remains up & Bitchute.com does not (((#censor us)))) [if they do, we are documenting them to expose them if they ever were to do so... as we've caught (((GAB.AI))) (((YOUTUBE.COM))) (((TUMBLR.COM))) (((TWITTER.COM))) (((FACEBOOK.COM))) doing to us, & are working on each of their own videos exposing them & the truths they covered up that we posted] - That will mean that the Video URL, aka "The Link", will always be functional if people click it from Tumblr.com, or FaceBook.com or Google+ or even Twitter.com / Gab.Ai!!
So; Let's hope that Bitchute.com never goes that route [banning videos of any kind, unless it's some gross porn or some weird stuff like that... & not shutting down it's website entirely, thus shutting down all Bitchute.com channels & their progress-so-far]. As long as this never occurs, these videos will remain public, right-here at these same Video URLs. Forever.

Again, we ask for your help: Do your part to share the Video URLs around the WorldWideWeb;
& If you're a Real Pro-White / Whatever You Identify As, you'll download a copy for yourself to help spread around or make physical dvd's, or whatever-the-case.

Help preserve the truth, help keep it alive, back it up on R-HD (Removable-HardDrive 5TB+).
