Mitt Romney’s Leftist, Globalist Advisor Team

We refer to the fine article in New American, by Bob Adelman, “Romney’s Advisors Are Leftist Elites,” 10/10/2011, for contextual information. Below  is the list he provided of Romney’s team, with comments.

Gulag Bound has provided fact after fact, after analysis, after warning, after plea. This list alone, should cause the reader to take to the streets, to oppose Mitt Romney.

Let us oppose him, not just actively, but like our children’s lives depend on it – in a way that makes a difference and prevents him from achieving the Republican nomination for the United States Presidency at a time when we so need a champion of U.S. and popular sovereignty, instead.

May it be so, Father God in Heaven.

For something very related, I implore the Gulag visitor to see and pay sound attention to Gingrich, Paul, Romney & Santorum on Agenda 21 vs. U.S. Sovereignty,” before it becomes too late.

By contrast, one of many videos showing the commitment to United States Sovereignty (and to Popular Sovereignty, the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the principles expressed in the Federalist Papers) of Newt Gingrich. Scroll to 3:50 for the direct question and answer on U.S. sovereignty, if you don’t want to hear the prior, important remarks:


Video, “Newt Gingrich- Duncan, SC 01-14-2012
 

By the way, listen at about the 6:00 mark, for Speaker Gingrich’s story of how the curse of the Tower of Babel resonated during a poignant moment of the Kyoto Treaty talks, which he vigorously and effectively opposed.

A second “by the way,” here is Ron Paul, years ago now, handling a question about Skull and Bones. I believe it is of value, but whether or not one wishes to give it attention, the rest of the facts on the above list are clearly essential.

  1. Arlen, this is an incredible article, I do have one more person I think should be placed on your list and that is Rove’s partner in crime with respect to this GOP process, i.e., Ed Gillespie. (I like to call these two the ‘pushers’ in the GOP 2012 Race.

    Please read this article:

    Former RNC Chair, Ed Gillespie Former RNC chair Ed Gillespie heading running-mate search for Romney? http://hotair.com/archives/2012/04/11/former-rnc-chair-ed-gillespie-heading-running-mate-search-for-romney/

    Alas, there is SO much more on Gillespie !

    Thanks for this great post.

    Susan :) <~~~ smiley not omitted

    • Ed Gillespie is an old, next generation Bush-bot and of course as Gramma Barbara Bush points out, George Romney kicked off the “thousand points of light” bit (New-Age-speak, so it is said) with her kind, gentle hubby.

      I think fast Eddie G’s another CFR dude. Let’s see what else has been going on with him.

      One can pick out these people sometimes, for their moving up by relationship (secret society or not) more than by a combination of merit and force of personality, eh?

      Thanks, smiling grizzly tweeter.

  2. You were doing fine until you lost credibility by promoting CFR foreign lobby suck up Newt the progressive Gingrich… corrupt and classless he.

    Wow…. what a shame.

    Real tea party people support the father of the tea party, Ron Paul.. Get with the program.
