IRAN PRESS TV - Tehran,Iran:

Dr. Paul's prescription for prosperity By Texas congressman Ron Paul

Republican presidential hopeful Ron PaulFollowing is the full length text of presidential hopeful Ron Paul's comprehensive reform package which he believes will revive the US economy:

Introduction: America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in human history through low taxes, constitutionally limited government, personal freedom and a belief in sound money. We need to return to these principles so our economy can thrive again. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity. Other candidates talk a lot about stimulus packages, but my record stands alone. I have fought for these measures for years as a member of Congress and will make them a top priority as president. Ron Paul, a 10-term Republican Congressman from Texas's 14th District, is currently the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. He has been named "Taxpayers' Best Friend" for 10 consecutive years by the National Taxpayers' Union. Ron Paul is also the author of several books on monetary policy and economics.

Boas notícias: os Bancos Centrais estão desacreditados

... e com isso, uma certa forma de encarar a ciência económica (aquela que poluiu a ciência com misticismo empíricos e formulações matemáticas com pouco significado).

Negócios: "Os economistas presentes no Fórum Económico Mundial, a decorrer em Davos, na Suíça, têm tecido duras críticas à actuação dos bancos centrais para controlar e ultrapassar a actual crise. Consideram-na tardia, inconsequente e defendem mesmo que os bancos centrais perderam a capacidade de antecipar e influenciar a evolução dos mercados financeiros e, de um modo geral, a própria economia."

Republican Debate: Mitt Romney & Ron Paul Score Points

"So who won the Republican debate in Florida? It certainly wasn't John McCain or Rudy Giuliani. Mike Huckabee wasn't bad but wasn't good. But Mitt Romney had his best debate of the campaign season so far and shockingly wild card Ron Paul scored some great points as well. No, I'm not signing on with the wild bunch that supports him, but give the man his due, he sounded great on the stage.(...)

Congressman Paul performed at his best when he ticked off the many ways on why he believes that Republicans have abandoned their traditional conservative principles, including unbalanced budgets, massive increases in the size of government, infringing individual freedoms, and failing to strictly follow the Constitution. Hmm, not bad, and believe me, I am no fan of Dr. Paul.(...)" http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272618469.shtml

RON PAUL AT THE MSNBC FLORIDA DEBATE 01-24-08 FULL

Romney: 21:11, during 13 times
McCain: 16:00, during 13 times
Giuliani: 13:50, during 11 times
Huckabee: 12:11, during nine times
Paul: 6:31, during six times

Pontos importantes:

1. o Iraque foi um erro, erro que começou já em 1998 ao estabelecer o objectivo de derrubar Saddam, e a Alqaeda não estava lá e passou a estar. Os Republicanos costumam acabar as guerras, não começar.

2. Segurança Social: dar oportunidade aos jovens de optar por não participar e assegurar que quem já está, recebe o que lhe é prometido.

Curioso:

- a retórica para acabar com o IRS de Huck e os restantes começarem a falar no endividamento á China ... agora... onde é que foram buscar tais ideias?

- começo a gostar de Rumsfeld. Agora todos batem nele. O erro foi de "gestão" dizem. Na verdade, Rumsfeld fez bem que lhe era pedido, ganhar rápidamente e de forma limpa. Deviam era ter conservado a estrutura de segurança, militar e administrativa do Estado e saído logo. O erro foi a ocupação em si, o combate foi ganho rápidamente (também aquilo era um exército já meio pelintra...).

Germany's Collaboration with KLA

Political Friendships

2008/01/21

PRISTINA/BERLIN/THE HAGUE

(Own report) - The trial against a close collaborator of Joachim Ruecker, the German UN administrator in Kosovo, is drawing to a close with the concluding declarations before the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague due to begin this week. The International War Crimes Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia had charged the former Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj with ordering - and even participating himself in - torture and numerous murders of Serbs, Roma and Kosovo Albanians in 1998, a year prior to NATO's aggression against Yugoslavia. While being a commander of the KLA, Haradinaj, according to intelligence circles, was also the leader of a powerful Mafia organization. He enjoys close ties to the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) including its current Special Representative of the UN Secretary General, Joachim Ruecker. In a discussion with german-foreign-policy.com, the journalist Boris Kanzleiter explained that high ranking UN officials helped intimidate witnesses due to testify in The Hague against Haradinaj. The structures of organized crime in Kosovo, in which Haradinaj is said to play an important role, extend all the way to Germany. It is being reported that German government authorities prevented investigations of Kosovo Albanians residing in Germany.

Command Headquarters

Last week the prosecutor of the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague demanded 25 years imprisonment for Ramush Haradinaj and two of his closest collaborators. The indictment is dealing with incidents in 1998 that led to an escalation of tension in the southern Serbian province of Kosovo and served to legitimize NATO's aggression in March 1999. These incidents took place in the mountainous Dukagjin region in Western Kosovo bordering Albania and Montenegro, the home of the Haradinaj-Clan. In 1997 and 1998, "the Haradinaj family estate (...) had been expanded to become a command headquarters for the KLA," reports the journalist Boris Kanzleiter in a discussion with german-foreign-policy.com.[1] Kanzleiter has been doing research in the countries of the former Yugoslavia since several years.

Total Control

The indictment of the War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague charges Haradinaj, who, in 1998, commanded KLA operations in the Dukagjin region from his family estate and his close collaborators: "The common criminal purpose of the JCE (Joint Criminal Enterprise) was to consolidate the total control of the KLA over the Dukagjin Operational Zone by the unlawful removal and mistreatment of Serb civilians and by the mistreatment of Kosovar Albanian and Kosovar Roma/Egyptian civilians, and other civilians, who were, or were perceived to have been, collaborators with the Serbian Forces or otherwise not supporting the KLA."[2] The indictment also states: "over the course of several days following 19 April 1998, KLA attacks forced out or killed virtually every Serb civilian remaining in the KLA controlled parts of the Dukagjin Operational Zone." The murders were aimed at the elimination of all non-Albanian members of the population to edify an "ethnically pure" state structure.

All the Way to Germany

Following the end of NATO's war against Yugoslavia in 1999, Haradinaj transformed his consolidated positions, established with the help of the KLA during the aggression, into a political power base. In 2000 he founded his own political party, the "Alliance for the Future of Kosova" (AAK). In December 2004 he was even elected Prime Minister of Kosovo, but had to vacate that position in March 2005 because of his trial pending in The Hague. Even today in Kosovo, Haradinej is seen as the leader of an influential group in organized crime (OC). The German Federal Intelligence Service (BND - Bundesnachrichtendienst) classified him in 2005 as a "key player" in the network between politics, business and internationally operating OC structures in Kosovo.[3] The BND drew the conclusion that Haradinej's network of smugglers was operating "throughout the Balkans", extending "into Greece, Italy, Switzerland and all the way to Germany."[4]

Close Partner and Friend

Irregardless, the UN administration in Kosovo (UNMIK) maintains very close ties to Haradenej. The former head of UNMIK, Sören Jessen-Petersen referred to him as a "close partner and friend". Boris Kanzleiter told german-foreign-policy.com, "Jessen-Petersen's successor, the German diplomat, Joachim Ruecker, also has a close relationship to him. Ruecker reinforced Haradinaj's position prior to the opening of the trial in The Hague through an ostentatious meeting with him in Pristina.[5] "Over the past few days, accusations were made that high-ranking UNMIK functionaries were directly involved in the intimidation of witnesses," says Kanzleiter. These accusations are to be taken seriously in light of the fact that last year a witness against Haradinaj was killed in an unsolved auto accident. Back in 2002 three witnesses and two investigating officials were assassinated in the context of the trial against Haradinaj's clan.

Names

Contrary to what one could be led to believe through the trial in The Hague, Haradinaj's activities in Kosovo are not out of the ordinary. Several German security administrations' reports have been published in excerpts. They point out that there are several powerful Mafia organizations seeking to attain political offices in the southern Serbian province that is preparing to postulate its statehood. In a study contracted by the Bundeswehr (German military) and completed at the beginning of 2007, it was reported that "under the noses of the international community, several multi-million Euro organizations have developed out of old KLA structures" linking political ambitions with their criminal activities and "exercising extensive control over the governmental machinery."[6] Back in 2005, the BND named several people with leading positions in the organized crime of Kosovo, including the current Prime Minister and a member of the current parliamentary executive board.

Straight From Berlin

Up to now this information of the security administration has had no consequences. Meanwhile complaints of an insufficient prosecution of suspected Kosovo criminals are even being heard in Germany. The publicist Juergen Roth reported in 2006: "already in the summer of 2005, the State Offices of Criminal Investigation of Bavaria and Lower Saxony tried to convince the Federal Office of Criminal Investigation to open a centralized investigation concerning the known [Kosovo-Albanian - author's note] clans and individuals in Germany" because "many criminal culprits from the entourage of the KLA have settled in Germany."[7] "Yet this demand was refused, even though the Austrian Federal Office of Investigation and the Italian police strongly insisted that their German colleagues finally initiate these investigations. The rejection (...) - according to a confidential source in the Austrian Federal Office of Criminal Investigation - came straight from the Interior Ministry in Berlin."

Massive Support

In fact, back in the 1990s, Germany was used by former KLA commanders and present day Mafia bosses for their preparations of the secessionist struggle against Belgrade - which is an often used explanation for the current conspicuous impunity. According to Erich Schmidt-Eenboom, a specialist on intelligence services, the KLA was being financed "with millions since the beginning of the 90s mostly originating from Albanians in exile in the USA, Switzerland and Germany."[8] "These activities were not just tolerated, they were massively supported" [9] writes the publicist Juergen Roth, "leading, to say the least, to political friendships."

Meetings

Roth dealt also with a Kosovo Albanian family clan from Northern Germany that was suspected of involvement in the KLA financing in the latter part of the 90s. The clan is also accused of various illegal dealings.[10] The accusations have yet to be finalized through the court. Still, according to research presented by KFOR, the clan had close business relations with Ramush Haradinaj, on trial in The Hague, occasionally through high-ranking contacts in government circles. According to Roth, "both the former German Foreign Minister, Klaus Kinkel (in 1998) and later the director of the BND, August Hanning, met with the head of the Northern German clan." Today Hanning is State Secretary in the Ministry of the Interior.
