Videos- Jesse Ventura: Big Sis Discriminates Against Common Americans
Videos- Jesse Ventura: Big Sis Discriminates Against Common Americans

Appearing today on the Alex Jones Show today, the former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, told Alex Jones the TSA discriminates against common Americans by allowing the elite and select politicians to avoid naked body scanners and sexual molestation gropes at the nation’s airports.
In January, Ventura filed a lawsuit in federal court in Minnesota against the Department of Homeland Security and the TSA. The lawsuit accuses the agencies of violating Ventura’s rights under the Fourth Amendment, which protects Americans from unreasonable searches and seizures.
In November, Ventura announced he will no longer fly commercially.
During an interview in September, Ventura told Jones his career was endangered and that he was considering abandoning travel altogether due to the intrusive pat-downs and dangerous radiation emitting naked body scanners.
Due to a metal prothesis from a hip replacement, Ventura routinely sets off metal detectors at airports and is subjected to the TSA’s “enhanced” humiliation.
Since implementing the procedures, the TSA has demanded medical patients remove urostomy bags and prosthetic breasts. In December, an Austin woman with a pacemaker was foreced to the floor by police when she objected to the prospect of TSA employees fondling her breasts.
Jesse Ventura is particularly outraged by the fact Washington politicians are allowed to avoid so-called enhanced pat-downs and naked body scanners average Americans are forced to endure.
In November, after Republicans gained control of the House, the New York Times reported on the soon to be Speaker John A. Boehner being escorted around metal detectors and body scanners at the Reagan National Airport in Washington.
“The appropriate security procedures for all Congressional leaders, including Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid, are determined by the Capitol Police working with the Transportation Security Administration,” said Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, when quizzed about the exception.
A few politicians have criticized the security measures. Rep. Ted Poe of Texas said the naked body scanners violate the Fourth Amendment. During a one-minute speech on the House floor, Poe lambasted former Department of Homeland Security boss Michael Chertoff, who has pushed the devices since departing the agency.
“There is no evidence these new body scanners make us more secure. But there is evidence that former Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff made money hawking these full body scanners,” Poe said in November. “There must be a better way to have security at airports than taking pornographic photographs of our citizens, including children, and then giving apparent kickbacks to political hacks,” he said.
Rep. Ron Paul introduced HR 6416, a bill designed to protect Americans from physical and emotional abuse by TSA employees conducting the grope-down screenings at airports.
In addition to Chertoff, the globalist George Soros profits from humiliating average Americans and subjecting them to dangerous radiation.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton characterized the procedures as “offensive” and said she would avoid them if possible. Speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation and NBC’s Meet the Press in November, Clinton said she realizes the need for tighter security but said there is a need to “strike the right balance” and “get it better and less intrusive and more precise.”
Instead of striking the right balance, the TSA has expanded its program of Gestapo-like intimidation and humiliation to bus stations and has established roadside inspections.
Clinton made her remark after the TSA threatened to fine and arrest people who refuse the intrusive procedure. The TSA said people who refuse to be groped or irradiated will not simply be allowed to leave the airport. Passengers will face questioning by the TSA and possibly local police.
Ventura told Jones he will now fly on a private jet while conducting business for his popular television show.
In 2008, the TSA attempted to extend its reach to private aircraft and small airports. “The TSA is seeking to impose the security requirements on roughly 15,000 corporate jets and 315 small airports that currently have none,” USA Today reported.
“This is an important milestone,” Michael Morgan, TSA head of general aviation security, told the newspaper in October of 2008. “It’s the evolution of security into a new operating environment.”

Jesse Ventura Challenges Ron Paul to Leave Republican Party
Jesse Ventura Challenges Ron Paul to Leave Republican Party

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has an important message for Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul – ditch the Republican Party and run for President as an independent.
On the day that Obama officially announced his 2012 Presidential campaign underway, the spotlight will now turn on those who are expected to set the wheels in motion to run against the president.
One name mentioned over and over again for the past few months has been Republican Congressman Ron Paul. However, Ventura, who was victorious as an Independent himself in 1998, believes that Paul can mount a more powerful challenge by distancing himself from the GOP establishment.
And Ventura even offered to throw his own name into the hat as a possible running mate.
“If Ron Paul would quit the Republican Party, and he asked me, then I would give serious consideration to running with him.” Ventura told syndicated radio host Alex Jones today.
“I will not run as a Democrat or Republican. I want nothing to do with these parties. They are the problem, they are not the solution.” the former Governor added.
“They’re the ones that have been in control of this country, as Ralph Nadar calls them, the two party dictatorship. They are the ones that have us in this mess. They are the ones who have caused all the debt problems… it’s time to throw them out. The people of this country can do a major thing and its so easy. The next election, don’t vote for ANY Republicans or Democrats. That would be the greatest thing that could happen in this country, to bring down and destroy these two political parties.” Ventura urged.
Congressman Paul has recently been victorious in several Republican straw polls of potential presidential nominees, and he has raised a staggering $3 million already this first quarter via his various grass roots organizations. That is more than any other potential Republican nominee thus far.
Ventura believes Paul should fully capitalize on his political popularity and make the break from the GOP.
“He won’t get the Republican Party nomination, he has to understand that.” Ventura said.
“The Republicans are not going to put Ron Paul up as their Presidential nominee. He is too much of a rogue, he is not bought and sold by multinational corporations. Plus the biggest thing of all, he calls for an audit of the Federal Reserve.” he added.
Though many Paul supporters would agree with Ventura, others will point to a shift in GOP attitude toward a more Libertarian outlook in over the past year as one reason for Paul to stick with the party and continue to use the apparatus to reach more people.
Paul previously ran on a Libertarian Party ticket in 1988, but struggled to make inroads against the establishment parties.
During his 2008 campaign for the Republican nomination, the corporate media and mainline conservatives attacked the Congressman over his outspoken opposition to big government and US interventionist foreign policy.
Senator Rand Paul, the Congressman’s son believes that it will be different this time around, however.
“I don’t think there would be any chance they’d exclude my dad now,” said the U.S. senator from Kentucky. “I think everyone in politics, whether it’s explicit or not, has their own agenda and if they can exclude you, they will. I don’t think that will happen again.”
Ventura is currently promoting his new book, 63 documents The Government Doesn’t Want You To Read. The former Governor explained that he had dedicated the book to Congressman Paul as a thank you for his tireless efforts to bring more transparency to Washington.
“He was the only Congressman we have that had the courage to go out on the floor of the Congress and support Wikileaks,” Ventura noted, alluding to the whistle blowing website.
“Like Ron Paul said, no one has died from Wikileaks. How many people have died from the trumped up intelligence and the lying that got us into the Iraq war. And then he said something even more profound. He talked about in a free country like ours, when the truth equals treason we are in big trouble.”
While Ron Paul has yet to announce whether he will mount another presidential run, he may want to take Ventura up on his offer before the former pro-wrestler turned political powerhouse looks toward an even more ambitious role.
“I never said who would be President and who would be Vice President.” Ventura quipped.
“Ron and I may have to flip a coin.”
