Why not? I have yet to ask my wife if she will support such a thing. This is a primary thing to do i.e. throw my hat into the ring. Call this a market survey. If no one supports my candidacy, then, I won't have to suffer all the things that presidential candidates have to suffer - never mind the actual costs involved with executing the executive office. So here it is and to anyone with similar leanings by all means do throw your hat in too. Imagine doing the job in a more harmful way? That is nearly unimaginable.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17129.htm Issue number one: As president will you attack another country soon? Answer: No Unprovoked violence that results in loss of human life is called murder by any known civilized standard so the question is: As president will you murder? Answer: No Additionally: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=China+Russia+Iran+allies+military+capability The notion of invincibility or perhaps the ability to murder with impunity is ridiculous. The victims of murder will eventually inspire loved ones to defend themselves effectively. Given what is at stake, it is easy to see why the United States, Russia, and China all have such an abiding interest in the outcome of the Iranian crisis. For Washington, the replacement of the clerical government in Tehran with a U.S.-friendly regime would represent a colossal, threefold accomplishment: It would eliminate a major threat to America's continued dominance of the Persian Gulf, open up the world's number two oil-and-gas supplier to American energy firms, and greatly diminish Chinese and Russian influence in the greater Gulf region. Not surprisingly, Moscow and Beijing are doing everything in their power to prevent any American geopolitical triumph in Iran or Central Asia from occurring, though without provoking an outright breach in relations with Washington -- and so endangering complex economic ties with the United States. Skip to this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Chinese+military+might Pick one. I pick the second one: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/12/18/130057.shtml How about this one: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/DG18Ad02.html Can they do it? How about this search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=Chinese+military+technology+capability Intelligence ? http://www.atimes.com/atimes/China/HD20Ad03.html That looks like 'intelligence'. As the aircraft carrier battle groups advance, China draws out one of its "trump cards" by leaking to the world media that it is dumping its holdings of US Treasury bonds and shifting to gold and euros. Meanwhile, strategic planners at NORAD watch with glee as they observe on the screen as monitored by their radar satellites that Chinese surface ships are making a hasty retreat as nine allied carrier battle groups advance toward the Philippine Sea and Chinese waters near Taiwan. The answer is no on moral grounds and no on practical grounds. The answer is only yes only if the idea is to destroy the American Dream and as many innocent people as possible just for fun. A campaign slogan: Anyone can do better than a psychopath. http://www.lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis69.html North Korea is notorious for backing away from deals, and, claims the US, has violated numerous previous ones. The latest agreement, trumpeted by the Bush Administration as a great diplomatic victory, was really due to China’s intervention. Whether it holds up and advances, or Kim is just buying more time, remains to be seen. What really worries them, of course, is that direct talks with North Korea raise the obvious question: why not direct talks with Iran over its so far peaceful nuclear program? The neocons want war with Iran, not talks, so the example of North Korea is undermining their carefully developed strategy.

What will you do to ensure domestic financial solvency since you are not willing to go abroad and murder for currency and the oil that backs up 'dollar hegemony'? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2007/02/19/ccview19.xml The dollar will devalue further no matter what happens so it is best to invest in some other form of currency sooner rather than later. Anyone can and will sell off their depreciating dollars for something better when the need arises so the question becomes the same old question where can anyone get the most bang for the buck? Imagine spending the entire Iran war budget (and the Iraq budget) on nothing but Solar Panels to be used on all the federal buildings. Now - that is a ridiculous thing to do, I know, and you probably know too, because all those federal buildings have to be sold off for debt payments to foreign nations. That will happen as foreclosure or as a 'fire sale' once the dollar value plummets. Again – the crash will occur so the best bang for the buck must be invested sooner rather than later. As president the second thing to do is to stop borrowing the money used for the war that was stopped in the first place. People can either pay the higher costs of gasoline or start demanding cheaper solar panels and electric cars and then those solar panels and electric cars will be built because there is a demand for cheaper solar panels and electric cars. Ask yourself: How much of your tax dollars are going to oil and auto companies now and thereby ensuring the dependency upon oil? As president I know how necessary a viable currency is to modern civilization so, as president, I would, at least, put pressure on congress to get rid of the Federal Reserve and the IRS. I could completely stop any new legislation forcing congress into the required ‘consensus’ or super majority to pass any presidential veto. Can anyone seriously imagine congress becoming united to save The Federal Reserve and the IRS? Next I’ll map out my plan to have the FBI investigate the CIA and visa versa with the power to bring each other into criminal court or combine their efforts to eliminate any criminal activities being conducted by ‘off the books’ U.S. government sanctioned crimes. I think such public pressure could result in a new type of America’s most wanted T.V. show. That’s it – the America’s most wanted plan. Do we really want to be borrowing money to go around torturing and murdering people? If not, then, this will end those crimes. The last one’s standing in that shrinking budget expense can eventually be fired for nothing better to do and the States can take care of their own police work. The Federal Government can concentrate on Federal Government ‘internal affairs’ first and then be in a position to ‘export’ democratic leadership. The Federal Government can be so limited as to ensure domestic tranquility by waging a war in falsehood at home. Out with the liars and see if anyone is left to ‘govern’. If not, then, the people will have to start electing honest people once in awhile.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17145.htm The above is worth reading and so I will read it. I can tell right away that this type of 'dooms day' communication misses the mark by a wide margin i.e. it is less than half true. To offer a measure of perspective concerning my claim of 'deception' above please consider diving into the following accounting. http://www.austrianforum.com/index.php?showtopic=364 The link above documents a time when I began another run for the congressional seat for my district based upon "NEWS" called "Peak Oil". The "News" is half true at best so my dire need to do something (run for office) evaporated with the exposure of accurate data. Future human existence can be made horrible as the ENERGY supply lowers. The Sun supplies enough energy for human civilization. That is fact. The 'dooms day' machine likes to predict dooms day because that tactic nets a profit. In simple economic terms; selling short based upon insider trading. Rather than conducting a market survey the idea is to steer the market into a state of scarcity and then profit on hedging bets or in Craps it is 'betting on the don't pass line'. I'll read the first link shortly and I will return here to retract or adjust some of my current communications if things turn out different than expected. If there is going to be a depression or recession it will be a result of actions intending that very end. The people who pay the cost will be the people who have invested poorly. An example will be a person who invests in anything that cannot be readily converted away from the U.S. dollar. Those people include people with 401K retirement accounts and that is one example. On the other hand: people who invest in alternate energy production will not be in as dire straights when the dollar value plummets. Imagine for example a person who didn’t sink their extra earnings into a 401K plan and instead the wise investor bought Solar Panels. By comparison the 401K investor has x amount of something while the Solar Panel investor has a steady flow of electricity. If the 401K investor has a steady flow of ‘interest’, the, the same amount of investment in Solar Panels creates a steady flow of electricity. If the 401K plan ‘investor’ gains ‘interest’ on his ‘interest’, then, the Solar Panel investor gains more solar panels, more efficient electric appliances, a Solar Powered Car (too bad these are not being mass produced and therefore very cheap = see “Who Stole the Electric Car”), and perhaps hydrogen production to replace the natural gas bill (costs). So…what happens when the dollar crashes? Mr. 401K has to sell off his plan before the dollar value reaches zero and he must pay all the associated penalties, IF, the Bank (that is no longer in business) agrees to process the paper work. Mr. Solar Panel/Solar car can start a taxi service and his fuel is provided by his Banker that rises up every day and sets every night just like clockwork only more dependable.

My writing is not limited to this forum: http://forum.atimes.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9890 P.S. The oil reserves of Venezuela is worth approximately 15 (fifteen) trillion dollars! [A.R.] Armando, If the “War on Terrorism” doesn’t ignite a major release of “nukular” fallout, then, that whole unfortunate diversion from the human race’s actual problems may soon be ‘superfluous’ and the sooner the better since there is much more money in the SUN! What is the SUN worth? Again – take that 15 trillion dollars worth of oil and make ONLY Solar Panels, Solar Panel research, and Electric Cars. This is merely an exercise in general economic theory. Suppose, then, that the whole 15 trillion was spent on Solar Panels and electric cars and Chavez inspired this to happen without shooting or torturing people. A. Is that enough investment to totally convert Venezuela where every household is completely independent from oil? B. I that enough investment to convert Venezuela and Brazil? C. Is that enough investment to convert Venezuela Brazil, New York City, and London? D. Is that enough investment to convert Venezuela, Brazil, New York City, London, and all of China? How about B above: the oil is gone but every citizen in Venezuela and Brazil are independent from oil. What does that mean? I’ve run the numbers myself concerning how much bang for the buck is produced when exchanging existing power for the power to turn sunlight into electric power and I’ve come up with a conservative 200%. Can we imagine (if not actually calculate) that the bang for the buck is at least 100%? 15 Trillion dollars worth is invested into Venezuela and Brazil so…30 Trillion comes back out. Here is the kicker: 30 Trillion was not available on the planet Earth before the investment. 15 Trillion cost was spent with the oil into making the Solar Panels and the electric cars. 15 Trillion (very conservative estimate when considering the savings that can be realized when Solar Panels and Electric Cars are mass produced and therefore utilize the savings of economies of scale) is now flowing from the sun to the earth as productive power i.e. lighting houses, cooking food, heating homes, and supplying the fuel to drive people and supplies from place to place. Now the 15 Trillion can be spent frivolously or it can be re-invested into new and better solar energy conversion devices and that is the point. Solar power, unlike oil power, is limitless. Once the infrastructure is in place the cost of power will steadily decline and economically speaking the world’s purchasing power will increase exponentially. Think in terms of Jobs. How many people convert from producing television sets to producing Solar panels? How many people convert from unemployment to producing electric cars, home heating units, etc.? Also think in terms of the pre-oil world economy and the post oil world economy. Now think in terms of the pre-solar and the post-solar economy? The pre-oil economy was poor in contrast because much of the human toil is replaced by oil-power. Oil is dirty and expensive to extract, control, and distribute. Oil is also a central power accelerator i.e. the flow of wealth goes to the oil companies. Solar power is a central power inhibitor i.e. the flow of wealth goes to the individual units that convert solar power to electric power (unless someone taxes solar electricity production). Solar power is anathema to capitalism which is based upon scarcity. Solar power is abundant. Note: The flow of oil is being stopped by the capitalists in order to raise the price (and therefore the profits) on oil. The flow of power from the sun can be stopped. It is called “Nukular” winter.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17154.htm "Theater Iran Near Term" (TIRANNT) By Michel Chossudovsky 02/23/07 "Global Research" - DUBAI, UAE, 21 February 2007. (revised 23 Feb 2007). Code named by US military planners as TIRANNT, "Theater Iran Near Term" has identified several thousand targets inside Iran as part of a "Shock and Awe" Blitzkrieg, which is now in its final planning stages. The 2003 decision to target Iran under TIRANNT should come as no surprise. It is part of the broader military roadmap. Already during the Clinton administration, US Central Command (USCENTCOM) had formulated in 1995 "in war theater plans" to invade first Iraq and then Iran.

Clearly, the neo cons and hawkish generals have set the United States on a collision course not only with China and Russia, but, indeed, with every nation that has legitimate scientific and economic interests in space http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17162.htm The enemy of human life is emboldened to continue destroying human life when good people do nothing to stop them. At least know more than nothing about our precious future.

http://www.sobran.com/columns/2007/070212.shtmlMeanwhile, Barack Obama has made it official: He’s running for president. He made the announcement in Springfield, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln once kicked off his campaign, just before Lincoln’s birthday. Taking the bull by the horns, Obama proclaimed his faith in “the basic decency of the American people.” He offered no evidence to support this bizarre belief.

I am as serious about taking office as the possibility exists; therefore - my maintenance of this site will tend to be directed here at campaign central. Campaign slogan: I am not evil - honest to God. http://www.lewrockwell.com/chu/chu16.html Can we really expect officials who are part of such a criminal enterprise not to perceive each other as members of the same pack of wolves, and us, the taxpayers, as members of the same flock of sheep? A quiz for the voting public: Who wrote the following best seller book in American history? Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. Campaign slogan: I am not smarter than some 5th graders; but I know how to spell Iran and Iraq. For those who read: http://atimes.com/atimes/others/trade-war.html http://www.antiwar.com/chu/c112699.html American moves to "contain" China will however have the perverse effect of delaying China's political liberalization. A Beijing unthreatened by western hegemony is prepared to allow considerably more freedom of domestic political expression than a Beijing which perceives foreign colonialists poised to take advantage of China in the event increased political freedom leads to widespread chaos. China remembers only too clearly what fate almost befell her during the late Ching dynasty, when internal disarray almost led to China's permanent partition by opportunistic Japanese, European and American imperialists. I think that sums things up. Last edited on Fri Mar 2nd, 2007 12:34 pm by Joe Kelley |

That’s the time frame that we’re looking at. And that is the life span of the bases that we’ve constructed there. Yeah, we are not leaving these bases, and a Democratic president, I don’t care who they are, will keep those basses there. They will justify them and they will use them and we love that. We love it. So it’s not about what the American people think is right or wrong, it’s not about if we got lied to, what matters is, they did what they wanted to do, and as bush says, and as Cheney says, “it’s quite the success.” http://www.truthdig.com/interview/page3/20070227_pentagon_whistleblower_on_the_coming_war_with_iran/ And I think that’s what we’re going to do, Democrat, Republican, Independent, I can’t imagine anybody but Ron Paul, if you elect Ron Paul as president, those bases will be closed down. Otherwise… Last edited on Fri Mar 2nd, 2007 03:38 pm by Joe Kelley |

He also hopes to “transform the nation” and to have his face on the penny, an honor traditionally reserved for dead white males. He seems to forget that Lincoln didn’t even want black people voting in Illinois. And really, why would they want to, anyway?
