"When Ron Paul was a voice in the wilderness, warning against the consequences of our aggressive foreign policy, we gave him a regular platform and promoted his views. That the rest of the country – and the world – has since discovered him is a wonderful development, one that will have a major impact on the American political landscape in years to come. While we don’t take credit for that, either, it’s hardly an overstatement to say the early exposure he got on this site – which introduced him to a wider audience – helped create the mass movement he leads today.

So, while nothing’s changed, as far as American foreign policy is concerned, the movement against that policy has grown by leaps and bounds – and that is in large part due to the success of this web site.

Yet there is a danger that the gains of the past decade or so will be lost – because we are up against a financial crisis that could well be our undoing.

We are about $20,000 short of making our fundraising goal this quarter. If we don’t make it, we will be forced to make major cutbacks – which means, in real terms, getting rid of a good number of our employees. I’m ashamed to say we pay these workers a mere pittance, by the standards of the day – but we won’t be able to pay even that if we don’t raise $20,000 in the next few days. What this means, in effect, is that the news and commentary you’ve come to depend on will get delivered much more slowly – if it gets delivered at all. What it means is that the few people left on staff will be overwhelmed with work, fighting to keep up with the flood of news and the War Party’s latest schemes.

I have, myself, been struggling to keep up: the strain of writing a substantial column, complete with extensive links, every other day has taken its toll. Add to this a fundraising campaign that seems to have no end, and a problematic medical condition I’ve kept largely quiet about, and we have all the ingredients of a major personal and professional meltdown.

At times, a vast weariness nearly overcomes me, and I just want to take to my bed, close my eyes, and forget. Yet I can’t forget the cries of the wounded, the victims of American "liberation," the ghosts of those slaughtered in the name of our endless "war on terrorism." They haunt me even as I sleep.

Who will speak for them if Antiwar.com ceases to exist?"

Boo-Hoo !

Every 3 months Justin Raimondo passes the hat around - every 3 months he meets his fund-raising goals. He is a gay man living among the Jew-controlled "progressive" community in Sonoma County.

From personal experience with the Jew controllers of the Sonoma County "anti-war" movement, I can say - criticicism of war is welcome, unless it involves criticism of Israel. Then the Jew Controllers say "Shush", and the conversation stops.

I invite G-S.us'ers to give Faux anti-warrior Justin Raimondo a dose of un-adulterated anti-Jew-war thought.
