Dear EmailNation Subscriber,

What does Paul Ryan have in common with Ayn Rand? Not as much as he thinks he does. For all his talk of being guided by the libertarian philosopher, Ryan's record is remarkably weak on individual freedom. Ben Adler has more.

All best,
Peter Rothberg, The Nation

Can you believe this video? It's a phenomenon. In fact, it was sent to more than 289,000 people in just the first 24 hours! But you might not see it at all. Why? Because, for the first time, mainstream medicine's deadliest conspiracy has been EXPOSED. Finally, this video is the 'shot heard around the world' the establishment prayed would never come.
