Ron Paul: ‘What we need is more WikiLeaks’

Popular Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul is no stranger to breaking with his party, but in a recent television appearance the libertarian-leaning Rep. went even further than any member of Congress in defending whistleblower website WikiLeaks.

Speaking to Fox Business host Judge Napolitano on Thursday about recent revelations at the Federal Reserve, Paul’s typical candor showed through.

“What we need is more WikiLeaks about the Federal Reserve,” he said. “Can you imagine what it’d be like if we had every conversation in the last 10 years with our Federal Reserve people, the Federal Reserve chairman, with all the central bankers of the world and every agreement or quid-pro-quo they have? It would be massive. People would be so outraged.”

Paul, a longtime critic of the US Federal Reserve, is the incoming chairman of a House subcommittee on monetary policy. His most recent book, titled “End the Fed,” takes aim at central banks the world over, blaming fiat money systems and fractional reserve banking for the world’s increasingly volatile economies.

“In a free society we’re supposed to know the truth,” Paul insisted. “In a society where truth becomes treason, then we’re in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it.

He added: “This whole notion that Assange, who’s an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason — I mean, aren’t they jumping to a wild conclusion? [...] I mean, why don’t we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?”

The Texas congressman echoed his message from Fox Business in a twitter post early Friday.

“In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth,” he wrote. “In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.”

Many Republicans have called for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, an Australian, to be prosecuted under the US Espionage Act, or for his site to be deemed a “foreign terrorist organization.” The Department of Justice said it was looking into who leaked the massive caches of documents to Assange and whether or not he could be prosecuted.

The site experienced a series of domain take-downs by mid-day Friday, but was back online via an IP address, with mirrors popping up across Europe.

Data released by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday showed that foreign banks were among the biggest recipients of some $3.3 trillion in emergency loans offered by the US central bank amid the 2008 financial crisis.

More than $290 billion worth of mortgage securities were sold to Deutsche Bank, a German lender. Credit Suisse, a Swiss bank, got more than $287 billion in mortgage bonds. Corporations like Caterpillar, General Electric, Harley Davidson, McDonald’s, Verizon and Toyota also relied the programs.

This video was broadcast by Fox Business on Thursday, Dec. 2, 2010, as snipped by MoxNews.

    I love this guy. Don’t agree with a lot of his politics, and probably would never vote for him for anything, but I’ve always felt Paul speaks from the heart, and does very little politi-speak, and he garners my respect.

    Too bad his son didn’t inherit those traits.

    Ron Paul is going to be the man to beat in 2012. I’ve grown to like this man a lot over the last couple of years. He’s not afraid of what he says. There are several issues that I strongly disagree with him on. I can live with that.

    I CAN’T live with being in agreement with the DEMS on most issues, and having them cave in every time.

    If Paul stays true to his positions as he has so far, I think he’ll easily defeat Barack Obama, who is in my opinion, the biggest disappointment this country has ever seen.

    Zero credibility? You’re using the appeal to authority? Hitler had 90% credibility and look where that got him.
    The man has zero credibility because he’s a man with a plan and his words get in the way of politicians and ceos with self-interests and not the interests of the future prosperities of this country politically, economically and socioeconomically. I don’t usually agree with Republican stances either, and I am definitely moderate about federal aid, I guess a Keynesian is what you call it. But the fact that he speaks his mind, and the fact that you say he should be ignored, but people who speak cyclically like our own president, and both parties in Congress are being listened to, that’s where this country seems to have problems.

He’s the best friend you got. 9.8% unenjoyment, massive loss of freedom of press, speech, and rights in general. The Fed giving MSNBC bailout billions, calling for the censorship of fox news, forced health care except for “gubmnt” approved mega corporations, raising taxes on the poor 50%, closing down offshore fossil fuel resources, the gulf spill debauchery, inflation, this hideous food safety bill, the FCC shutting down “un-approved internet news sites”, that commie supreme court appointment Kagen, Obamas commie Zars he appointed, Cap and tax carbon spread the wealth hoax, the war on our wide open southern boarder………………Or is it that we are all racist?

    I am tempted to make a similar argument that “hardworking, decent Americans” don’t like being called “Pinkos” by “racist, rightwing nuts, teabaggers.” Doing so, however, would be pretty goddamned ridiculous because it involves engaging in name calling during the course of complaining about name calling.

    Actually, it’s not that we need more leaks. We need better, harder-hitting leaks. Sure, we’ve gotten a few lies, some inter-diplomat drama, and few crimes, but what we need is a big kahuna tantamount to the Pentagon Papers before it can really catch fire.

    The Pentagon Papers showed that the Tonkin Gulf incident was a fabrication, and that America had been planning to go to war in Vietnam for profit, basically.

    So then what is needed is unequivocal documentation that the government was in charge of controlled demolitions of WTC 1, 2, and 7, and was actively subverting efforts to prevent the attacks on 9/11, all as a pretext for invading the middle east. That would blow the Pentagon Papers out of the fucking water.

    Wikileaks is an Israeli operation to:
    -Build Israeli PR(bc Israel hasn’t been good at hiding their war crimes since 2008 Gaza Massacre, Flotilla Attack, worldwide attention to Gaza humanitarian crisis) by making people forget about their war crimes by focusing attention on American war crimes(of which people have known for a while before Wikileaks…Wikileaks didn’t give any new information…except that Iraq did indeed have WMD! Bush was right!)
    -Accomplish Israeli/Neocon plan by incriminating all the countries on Israel’s hitlist of which were all on the Neocon plan PNAC(which called for a Pearl Harbor like event). Countries like Iran, Syria, North Korea…and newly added enemy of Israel,,,Turkey! Isn’t it strange North Korea “attacked” South Korea unprovoked…or did the puppet government South Korea provoke North Korea?

    Israel is the only country that came out looking good. Israeli Prime Minister agrees.

    Julian Asssange the Israeli agent says:
    “And we can see the Israeli Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu coming out with a very interesting statement that leaders should speak in public like they do in private whenever they can. He believes that the result of this publication, which makes the sentiments of many privately held beliefs public, are promising a pretty good [indecipherable] will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and particularly in relation to Iran. I just noticed today Iran has agreed to nuclear talks.”
    http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2034040,00.html

    Neocon Israeli first David Frum(who called for a regime change in Syria, Iran, and other Islamic nations, being tougher on North Korea in his and PNAC coauthor buddy Richard Perle’s book “And End To Evil”) says: “Wikileaks builds case against Iran”. Gasp! Isn’t on his hitlist…erm I mean “provide freedom to” list in his 2004 book? He also says Wikileaks proves Israel was right to attack the Turkish Flotilla…since sudden;t the Turks have been aiding the terrorists..how nice for Israel.

    “Some say that the WikiLeaks document dump has embarrassed the United States government.
    Agreed — it is probably no fun to be the U.S. official in charge of calling Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi to admit that our government noticed his Russian business dealings.

    But here’s who really should be embarrassed:

    • Those who pooh-poohed George W. Bush’s “axis of evil.” WikiLeaks confirms that Iran and North Korea have for years been sharing weapons technology.

    • Those who suggest that it’s some “Israel lobby” or Jewish cabal that is driving the confrontation with Iran. WikiLeaks confirms that the region’s Arab governments express even more anxiety than Israel about the Iranian nuclear weapons program.

    • Those who have condemned Israel for inspecting or impeding Red Crescent ambulances. WikiLeaks confirms that during the 2006 Lebanon war, Iran smuggled weapons to Hezbollah in Red Crescent vehicles, including ambulances.

    • Those who have appeased Red Crescent demands that Israel’s Red Magen David be excluded from international Red Cross organizations. The Red Crescent has been thoroughly penetrated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and is regularly used as a tool of Iranian foreign policy.

    • Those who lamented that Israel’s interception of the Turkish blockade-runner Mevi Marmara would alienate Turkey as a key U.S. ally: The U.S. government itself has for years regarded the Turkish government as trending on its own impetus toward anti-Western Islamist radicalism.

    • Those who look blank-faced at the origin of cyber-attacks on Google and other crucial U.S. networks. WikiLeaks documents U.S. awareness that at least one cyber-attack on Google was ordered at the highest levels of the Chinese government.

    This is not to deny that WikiLeaks has done enormous harm. The leakers or hackers or whoever it was who obtained and published this information have put individual lives at risk. Toby Harnden of the Telegraph notes that one of the released documents names a U.S. informant in the region. The document identifies him as a U.K.-educated engineer from a prominent pre-revolution Isfahan family who once owned a large factory in Iran and is a former national fencing champion of Iran, a former president of the Iran Fencing Association and a former vice president of an Azerbaijan sports association. Harnden aptly asks: How many such persons do you think are out there?”

    Ynet(Israeli News):
    Op-ed: WikiLeaks boosted Israel by revealing that most world leaders share our view

    Had WikiLeaks not existed, Israel would have had to invent it. The massive leak of US diplomatic documents produces a clear, unequivocal picture: The whole world, and not only Israel, is terrified by the Iranian nuclear threat.

    Iran’s nuclearization is not Israeli paranoia, as certain camps try to argue. It makes all world leaders, from Riyadh to Moscow, lose sleep. The Iranian issue is the common thread in the hundreds of thousands of documents that were leaked and it produces a narrative whereby the world expects Israel and the United States, in this order, to do something to stop “Hitler from Tehran.”

    I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again: Kucinich is not the left’s answer to Ron Paul. Kucinich is trash. The old Kucinich did some admirable things, like proposing single-payer healthcare and moving to impeach Bush and Cheney. Post-Obama though, he is a spineless and incoherent kook.

    “…we want to prosecute him for treason — I mean, aren’t they jumping to a wild conclusion? [...] I mean, why don’t we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?”

    I think this is hyperbole and sarcasm. He’s saying it’s ridiculous to prosecute Assange, and inconsistent to only prosecute Assange.

    Paul has served in Congress under 5 presidencies. He was elected during the Carter administration, served throughout Reagan’s term, resigned and then came back during Clinton, and has remained through Bush and Obama.

    Paul was one of the first and only Congressmen to endorse Reagan when he was an actual conservative (1976), and opposed him when he became a neocon. He did the same thing to Bush. So please, STFU or at least get your facts straight.

    Neither did Goldwater, and Goldwater would be considered a liberal by today’s standards. Goldwater, like Obama, was not born in America proper (Arizona was still a territory, so uh oh). DoMA, I’ll give you, isn’t great, but it’s profoundly different than a complete federal ban on same-sex marriage. Goldwater, before he died, opposed it, and yet was a full gay rights supporter. He also voted against the CRA, but was a full supporter of minority rights, women’s rights, disability rights, etc. etc.

    Maybe you should READ exactly why someone could oppose something like that and still agree with the end goal? Maybe it’s because such legislation is deeply flawed? Gee, I guess all the liberals who voted against this POS healthcare bill that subsidizes giant corporations are evil too.

    The very fact that he said this was likely intended to solicit people who have such information to leak it, which he of course thinks is the right thing to do.

    I’m with ya, some libertarian ideas are too much. I can’t see any good reason to legalize prositution. I have a lot of good reasons that go beyond the morally apparent, but no need for that here. In theory, seems like drugs should be legal. Not sayin’ people should use them, just doesn’t seem like that’s anyones business. But I can’t get past the thought of meth or crack becoming legal.

    I think the optimum situation would be thus: Let’s not kid about legislating morality. Most laws are moral laws made by self-proclaimed moral people for people who nearly unanimously believe in morals. However, the scope of “enforced morality” must be limited to wrongs committed against a person, not wrongs committed by a person. That second part involves an inward governance which cannot be maintained and is perversion to try. The law does not make men good.

    Drugs should be legal, but people should be actively “evangelizing” by the droves, to get people to stop. This respects everyone’s volition. But people are too selfish, noone would put out the required effort.

    The other way to look at it is some drugs remove volition. Some people are “possessed” not by spirit but addiction. They used to be people with addictions; now they are just addictions, automations following the subroutines of engraved subconscious. The word “subconscious” is apt, if not a pun. If a governing body has the means to restore this volition to the individual then they have the responsibility to do it. To that end they are responsible to curb the supply of the drugs which almost always produce insatiable addiction and displace the sacred volition of human beings.

    I think most of the information leaked so far should/could have been information the public has a right to know. Some information regarding national security, police, CIA and FBI surveillance and methods, locations and so on should be kept secret. But so far I am unaware, none of those types of leaks have occurred except in cases by the police organizations themselves. (That is, when they successfully catch someone the police generally give out too much info about how they found them – info that criminals can use to get smarter.)
    The information about the Banks should be public, and needs to be discussed and analyzed and depending upon the facts – criminal charges may be appropriate.

    Your beloved republic was built on deceit. Birthed behind closed doors in Philadelphia. The Federalist won the day and doomed the liberty that you were led to believe you possessed as an American.

    Our decline predates the Bushes, the Clintons, even the Kennedys. Trace it, if you like, back to the overthrow of the gentle Articles of Confederation and the triumph of Hamilton, Madison, and James Wilson over Patrick Henry, Luther Martin, and Melancton Smith in 1787-88. We have a helluva losing streak going, but there is a value in showing up for a game and taking your swings even if you have no chance. To give in is a sin.

    As Dr. Paul said so eloquently. “In a free society we’re suppose to know the truth.” I, as an American want to know the truth no matter how unbearable or how outrageous it might be. I don’t adhere to the Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil Motto. Unfortunately many Americans don’t want to hear the evil or see the evil and therefore dare not speak it. But as the dirt gets flung around and forms a nice neat pile for everyone to see…Americans will eventually have to take heed. It’s no wonder so many republicrats and demopublicans both want to do away with net neutrality. Too much of their dirt is getting aired out because of it. The internet is crucial to getting to the bottom of anything. Without Net Neutrality it would become increasingly difficult to get to the bottom of anything. We may never get to the “whole” truth but we can certainly gain a better understanding which is imperative in making sound judgments.

    Whistle blowers do a great service by uncovering the layers of dirt and filth that were once trapped inside a beautiful package with silk ribbons and bows. An eye-catching package that the Media and the Gov’t presents to the American People to sell their questionable actions. But once the ribbons & bows unravel and the contents of the package is revealed…it exposes the filth, waste, dirt, & creepy crawlies that were inside. Of course this is all a metaphor but a pretty good one. The gov’t understands that most Americans will never unwrap the package to see what’s inside. They understand that most Americans are way too busy to take the time needed to unwrap the package. Thankfully, this is where Wikileaks comes in. Whistle blowers give us quick access to events and agendas that we would otherwise never know.

    The Robber Barons despise this Man, and because of that I support Him.
    Anyone that hates the current Cronyism, Police State, Military Industrial Banking Cabal would do well to support him.
    What have you got to lose at this point.
    Sad thing is, that if he were elected, he would probably go the way of Andrew Jackson, Lincoln and Kennedy, all of which resisted the Oligarchy that has created this disaster.

    If he was against gay marriage he was not a full gay rights supporter. Back in those days especially with regards to the Civil Rights Act it was the political fashion to be against it before you were for it. You vote against it to go on the record with the voters back home and then tell the nation through the media that yes, discrimmination is so wrong (as long as we don’t actually have to do something about it). It’s harder to get by with that now.

    These people and those things like george w. “baby” bush know no shame when it comes to greed for the wealthy. They have a disease of not have enough and want more at the expense of the rest. As far as I am concern “baby” bush and “daddy” bush are criminals of the worse kind and liars to boot. The profess idealism and do sadism to the rest of the world, including their fellow countrymen. They rob the people with tax cuts for them knowing it will not trickle down. They, the so-called “elite” need to be medically treated for ADS, attention for they are lacking in real attention of the real needs of the real world. They are sick people thos advocating continuation of tax cuts for the rich…it does even beneftt them since they already hav toooooooooo much and we lack enough.

    You should read up on him more before making such a comment. The Republican party has been trying for years to get rid of him in Texas because he can’t be bought or would follow their asinine policies. But the people of his district are pretty savvy because they have rebuffed the Republicans time and time again and re-elected Ron to represent them. If he was in a position of power such as the presidency, you would see this country change for the better and follow the forefathers intent instead of seeing it turned into a banana republic such as the right is trying to do now.

    It is obvious that the government wants to completely control the conversation, particularly about Wikileaks, but also about everything else. But we have a “free press” because the constitution never intended to give government that much power. The extra constitutional exercise of this kind of power is a threat to national security.

    There is much of Ron Paul that I have always liked. I agree with him on this (did not have time to read the whole article). What i can’t agree with is stripping the federal government of its power to HELP human beings that NEED it and I do not think we humans have the power to do things with restraint. It is true in human relationship vis a vie the high divorce statistics AND it is CERTAINLY true in economics. An unbridled laissze faire capitalism is not my cup of tea. It needs rules, it need oversight BUT with that proper oversight it should NOT be bailed out of trouble. IT should go down as any business and cannot be too big to fail. We all lose when the economic system tanks. Still government needs to be held accountable most especially when it commits human life to the ashes.

    No, we do not need more WikiLeaks.

    WikiLeaks is only a workaround solution for two deeper problems.

    There is a lack of free press.
    In today’s media conglomerates journalists are not free to report what happens from a neutral perspective, or even from several perspectives. There are always various interests influencing what is on the news, up to the point where those interests dictate what is broadcast and with what kind of spin it is presented.

    There is a lack of freedom of press.
    Even if a network allows its journalists to report something, there is a significant lack of protection for journalists and their sources. Imagine that an American journalist dug up a source with access to the same diplomatic cables WikiLeaks has published. His home and his office would by now have been raided in the name of National Security, the journalist would have been detained, and his source exposed.

    What we need is a free press.
    And the means to defend freedom of press.

    We don’t need more WikiLeaks.
    We need to make WikiLeaks unnecessary.

    Here are a few impressions of what the God of our father thinks of corruption and deceit, He has a way of putting it,

    The Skirt of Shame will be lifted for all to see.

    Nahum 3:5 NIV
    “I am against you,” (The liars and curpt) declares the LORD Almighty. “I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame

    The nakedness of a man is his Shame, the nakedness of a nation is the shame of the nation, the lies and corruption, the back room deals will be exposed, and no one will be able to say we didn’t know… if the skirt is lifted.

    Here is what the Lord thinks of those who practice that which is corrupt…
    Isaiah 22:12
    The Lord, the LORD Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on a skirt sackcloth. / (A skirt of shame.) A skirt that exposed your corruption.

    Isaiah 3:24
    And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

    If we as a nation continue to behave in this corrupt way His patients will end, we will be as a day in the park, compared to the Holocaust.

    I say expose them all and stand in the Gap for what is honest and true, and we will again be a blessed nation, But turn aside to the lies and corruption and we will be Doomed.

    It is a simple matter of repentance, each of himself and then the nation. Put the ten commandment Back in the courts and chambers of House, for a start,…. then the school and Hearts of men teach then to our children and cause them to know the root of truth. Then they will branch out into fruitfulness.
    What do we have to fear of truth and goodness? Only the liars fear truth.. Do the the right thing …..have that which calls them out posted freely for all to see..

    a cry goes outs…. Lift their skirts

    I consider WikiLeaks is a symptom which came about because of underlying faults.
    It is a sign that indicates we need to fix something. WikiLeaks is not a solution to the problem: If free press has to hide on the internet, that’s not a desirable situation.

    One shouldn’t forget that many conspiracy theories which circulate in the more shadowy corners of the internet are just that: Conspiracy theories, which are not taken up by the media, because they are plain bonkers.
    The fact that WikiLeaks is not ignored by the media makes me hesitant to lump “conspiracy theories” in the same category.

    That’s not what I’m trying to say.
    WikiLeaks is a symptom of underlying problems.
    WikiLeaks exists only because national, for profit, professional media organizations can’t do their job for various reasons. WikiLeaks has to do part of it for them.

    It doesn’t harm free press.
    But if there was a working system in which freedom of press were guaranteed, WikiLeaks would not be needed.

    What I’m trying to say is that WikiLeaks is not the problem.
    The problem is a lack of free press.
    But WikiLeaks is not the solution to that problem either. If free press has to hide on the internet and has to be non-profit to work, that’s not a good solution.
    The solution would be watertight legislation which protects the freedom of journalists and protects their sources.

    So what you’re saying is that rand doesn’t have a mind of his own? That he follows Dad in everything?

    I am amazed to hear this from Ron Paul. Maybe he is a better man than I thought.
    I would however mention that when we describe a bank as “foreign”, we could be describing any or all of them, or none. It is a term that I am not aware of a definition for in this context. Does a foreign name settle it? Or where is the subsidiary you are addressing incorporated? Or would it be, where are the majority stock holders? I have no intention of raising any defense of the Bush bank scam, but before we call out the federal reserve for helping foreign banks, help me understand what we are talking about. I don’t mean what is John Roberts position, I mean what is reasonable to measure.

    Kellia, I’m sure Michael means well but I’d like to apologize on behalf of RP supporters. It is wrong and unfair for him to insult you.

    I assume you haven’t voted for Ron because he’s in fact a free-market fundamentalist? He is certainly a true believer in principles but you might consider his views on poverty. Ron has said repeatedly that he would not cut child welfare or jobless benefits until people don’t need them. He is in favor of extending jobless benefits, in fact, because those people paid into the system. His ideas include closing down Embassies worth 10B$ each and giving at least half back to those Americans in need. And RP’s views on the Fed are deeply rooted in concern for poor people and minorities. The Fed’s system of funneling money to banks & corporations while inflating prices is a big reason the poor get poorer. So these are very (old-fashioned) liberal, humanitarian policy views that get lost in the rhetoric & marginalization of Ron Paul by most news sources.

    I’m pretty sure I grasp the notion that one can be forced to vote against legislation that one wants, because of underlying structural problems. However, I don’t think you can argue that in Paul’s case. He’s superficially a Libertarian, but underneath it all, he’s a Confederate who seeks to do away with federal power and throw lawmaking not just to the states, but to localities. “Freedom”, to him, is the ability to live out any prejudicial impulse you have, under the guise of local laws, unhindered by an overriding Union meta-law. While many of his votes were useful to my own political imperatives, the actual reasoning behind those votes was actually fairly sinister. Maybe you should READ about that.

    When I first heard about Libertarians I was at first elated, but then I soon realized the problem with their Platform. The main complaint is that this Party advocates laize affaire policies that are illustrated in a book called “The Jungle”, the Party believes that Business can regulate itself and that the consumer should inform themselves before being swindled or poisoned by them!! Like most things (unions, governments, law enforcement ) over time they become corrupted and gamed by insiders. Like Communism it assumes people will pull their load together, sadly this has been proved a failure, Capitalism’s dark side and the Libertarian bane is a “Markets Gone Wild” mentality with no oversight and the majority of the citizens kicked to the curb. It is only when you hear them talk about Civil Rights, Public Education, and Total Isolationism policies that you get to the negatives. I do agree with them about the Fed, Drugs, and the current Middle East theater of War, the Constitution & Bill of Rights, and Wikileaks.

    I don’t think you’ve quite understood libertarian ideas. The idea is not that ‘business can regulate itself’, but rather that consumers regulate business. Governments work hand-in-hand with business, not against it. Yes, it is up to people to inform themselves and not blindly purchase things without a thought. What exactly is wrong with expecting people to take responsibility for themselves? Otherwise we end up with an uneducated, juvenile, and wreckless population.

    You also make the assumption that all business aims to swindle and poison, which is inaccurate. Some do, of course. But libertarians would still prosecute fraud, and send a lot of these corporate criminals to prison, rather than subsidize them as in the Bank bailout, or give them miniscule fines.

    It does not assume that ‘people will pull their load together’, quite the opposite. It is the only system that accepts and uses self-centered greed to benefit the rest of society.

    The Fed can print money but it really can’t direct it’s flow very well. That is what congress is for and they seem to think money should be directed away from projects and policies that would put America back on top and use it to create a super wealthy minority. Ron Paul is right about WikiLeaks but he is being dishonest with the American people.

    Consumers regulate business like a Gazelle regulates a pack of Lions. Advertising and marketing practices have become very predatory, to the point that corporations are ‘branding’ people from a very young age (yes you guessed it, infancy). Believing that people can inform themselves when it is painfully obvious that the most common mediums for informing oneself are dominated by corporations is inexplicably naive.

    Nobody makes the assumption that the aims of businesses are to swindle and poison, instead people know this to be true. A business’s sole motivation is profit. There is nothing built into a business that prevents any sort of manipulation or regulation, and businesses will do whatever is allowed.

    “It is the only system that accepts and uses self-centered greed to benefit the rest of society.”

    And that is why it is a flawed ‘system.’ Humans do not survive by being selfish creatures. They survive through cooperation. That is how humans got out of Africa, that is how humans build roads, and that is how humans will prevail in the future, not by being selfish individualists — that is how you end up dead.

    1. Ron Paul would oppose the ICC, not because certain Americans aren’t guilty, but because it undermines American sovereignty. I doubt Paul would have a problem with American courts trying those same individuals.

    2. Not sure why you think Free Trade is a bad thing.

    3. Paul’s argument against birthright citizenship is based upon the fact that it creates a “perverse incentive” to enter the US illegally. In other words, we reward people for sneaking into the US by automatically granting their child citizenship, which consequently grants them a certain degree of immunity. But Paul’s bigger argument with respect to immigration is the welfare state. The welfare state is really the only negative consequence of illegal immigration because it allows more people, who aren’t even citizens, to leech off of America’s wealth. The ‘stealing of jobs’ issue is a moot point because in a free market if there is a demand for labor, it doesn’t matter who fills it.

    4. Under the constitution, states should have the power to regulate abortion.

    5. The market will take care of the environment so long as the consumer demands it. If the people don’t really care, businesses won’t either. The same could be said for politicians. Cap and Trade is a great example of why we should limit the governments involvement.

    6. The government has no authority to force someone to inject something into their body.

    7. He opposes it because it greatly increased the role of government in private enterprise and in many ways has continued the practice of identifying people by race rather than ability (through hiring quotas, affirmative action, etc).

    I am concerned about free-market capitalism just as I am concerned about the eventual end product of free-market capitalism; fascism (if by corporatism you mean the domination of policy by corporations, not the system of economic, political, or social organization that views a community as a body based upon organic social solidarity and functional distinction and roles amongst individuals.)

    Why does Ron Paul wish the government to have no oversight or regulations over these Global Empires after the way they have S…. us in the past century.

    Without the government the middle class , seniors and others have no say in how these corporations attack and destroy us.

    Lack of regulations is what has let our U.S. jobs be sent overseas today.
    Lack of regulations and oversight is why the banking empire has taking our tax money and did what they d… well please with it.
    Including giving and investing it in overseas corporations and countries.
    Look what they did too many American’s 401k and savings when they gambled it away , which they should have been prosecuted for and not giving our tax money to receive higher salaries and bonuses with.

    The government was created for the protection , safety and oversight of the people (weak) and not corporations.particularly the way in which corporations have developed into a Global Monopoly.
    They no long have any concern or interest in the citizens of this country except for a dollar sign placed on their forehead for their profits.

    Different Americans love to pick and choose the type of action which they wish to receive from the government.
    But without this government we would not have come this far and created a great nation.
    The problem now , corporations which are no longer are U.S. corporations have group together with other nations to control labor wages , cut worker benefits and use the world as a slave market to fix their needs.

    Exactly who were these muslim fundamentalist who blew up the WTC?

    BBC already reported that many of the 9-11 hijackers are alive and well.
    FBI eventually admitted the hijackers list might not be totally accurate.

    1. The ICC is governed by an Assembly of States parties, in which the United States would have ample representation and influence. You say that Ron would have no problem with American courts trying Americans for War Crimes. However, this does not happen, because the US government will never have an interest in making its military or politicians look bad. Just like in Nazi Germany; no court ever tried any German for any War Crimes.

    2. Free trade sets up the situation where it is the financial interests of US corporations to outsource jobs. Free trade is a form of colonialism or imperialism; it allows US corporations to curtail US environmental or labor regulations by freely setting up shop in other countries where they pay minimal amounts of money for long hours of abusive and dangerous work, and gives the US government the interest to support governments (or anti-democratic forces for that matter) in other countries that agree to these Free Trade agreements, regardless of any repressive activities or methods of consolidating power of said Governments.

    3. Ah, the age old ‘anchor baby’ myth. After an alien mother (or father) has been present for no less than ten years, the alien may apply for Cancellation of Removal (aka Cancellation”) if she can prove ten years of good moral character and that deporting her would be an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to her US citizen child. This is an unusual form of relief as there is an annual cap of 4000 on the number of illegal immigrants who can be granted Cancellation, and for the past several years the government has not reached that cap. This means that under 4000 people are granted this type of Cancellation annually. Also, a US Citizen may not petition for another family member’s Green Card until they reach the age of 21. You are mistaken.

    4. Securing universal rights is not something that can be delegated to the States, and nowhere in the constitution does it say so. There are certain rights that must and can be universally enforced under the constitution, and the right to control your own body is certainly one of them.

    5. The market dictates what the consumer wants. Corporations are driven by profits, and profits are never as big as when the same corporations control the means of gathering information as well as the means of production. Corporations control television, news agencies — they bombard us with billboards and advertisements; advertising and marketing is extremely manipulative THEY tell us what to buy. Corporations will do whatever they want, whenever they want, and how they want. If their consumers don’t like pollution, they will conceal their pollution rather than stop polluting, because for the most part it is cheaper. The only reason they (sometimes) don’t is because of the minimal regulation put in place by the Federal and States governments.

    6. The Government certainly has the authority to force vaccinations, it is a public health issue. How do you think the Government has curbed diseases like Polio, Measles, Hep A or Hep B, etc? It’s simply ridiculous to oppose inoculations, especially since there is very little risk involved given the benefits. However every state except for West Virginia and Missouri allows for religious exemption. Twenty states allow parents to cite personal or philosophical reasons in order to be exempt. However lack of immunizations has been linked to an increasing amount of disease outbreaks.

    7. By ‘increasing the role of government in private enterprise’ what you really mean to say is that the bill made it illegal for companies to discriminate against women or minorities. Incidentally, it ended unequal voter registration practices, segregation in schools, at the work place, and at facilities that served the general public. It did not, as you have claimed, establish hiring quotas or mandate affirmative action — Affirmative Action was enacted by Executive Order 10925 signed into law by John F. Kennedy.

    The BBC reported that one of the suspected terrorists was in fact alive and well. He was suspected, obviously, because he was a Muslim and attended the same flight school as the terrorists did. Do you know how often investigators have a suspect that turns out to be completely innocent? ALL THE TIME, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FBI CAN’T SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TERRORIST AND A MUSLIM!!!!

    Another suspected terrorist lost his passport in Denver. There are NUMEROUS ways that his passport could have ended up in the hands of the actual terrorists — what is more plausible? That a passport of a Muslim man was picked up by a terrorist for — let’s say, terrorizing — or that the FBI planted the passport of some random Arab in order to blame the attacks on someone who was obviously still alive and obviously had nothing to do with the attacks. Don’t you think the FBI would have done its homework?? In any case the passport could have been picked up by a random innocent civilian who was in attendance for the attacks. Is it evidence for a conspiracy? If you want it to be — sure. Not for me though.

    “What about the passports of alledge hijackers found in the rubble?”

    If you are so weak and so full of despair that you believe that voting is your only hope for empowerment, then it is you that is the dumb ass. If you can settle for the choice between a Democrat or a Republican, both of which are dominated by corporate interests, then you are a truly weak and pitiful human being.

    My advice to you is, stop voting. You’ll notice that nothing changes. Then maybe you’ll take some direct action. Get involved locally. If there are some cops going around busting kids for small amounts of drugs, blow up their cars when they’re sitting at they police station. If the bosses at your job are pieces of shit and you don’t get any benefits, organize a strike. If you see people starving on the street or with out homes, organize them and teach them to squat houses and live off the grid. If you notice a large corporation fracking for natural gas or doing something else to damage the environment, blow it the hell up, or organize a sit in if you want to avoid felony bomb making charges.

    Enough of being meek, enough of just sitting there and fucking taking it. It’s time to dish it out.

    It’s unreasonable and ignorant to realize that the only candidates who have a chance in hell of winning in 99% of all elections are basically the same? Sure, Democrats typically support weak social programs, to the point where people aren’t as pissed off as they should be, but for the most part they represent the same corporate interests that the Republicans do.

    I’m indifferent because I don’t vote — even though that when I lived in the United States (3 months ago I moved to Bolivia) I was involved locally by helping people organize Hotel workers with Unite Here, and was a member of Cop Watch? That somehow makes me stupid — because I realize that voting wasn’t going to change a damn thing? I’m lazy because I realize that I can only attempt to make a difference in the community that I live in?

    The laws in the US aren’t decided by you and me. The laws are decided by people in the pockets of large corporations — granted, here in Bolivia there is much more cause for hope, if I were a citizen damn right I would vote, but the situation is different here. People aren’t afraid to organize, people aren’t afraid to take to the streets (and I mean REALLY take to the streets) — if anything that is what has forced changes here, not voting. Voting was an afterthought. (After hundreds of years of white, Spanish blooded Bolivians running a 65% indigenous country – a cocalero somehow managed to get into the Presidents office, but only because of the massive mobilizations of cocaleros and Aymara and Quechua Indians — if Evo Morales hadn’t won the election they probably would have taken over in a Revolution anyway.)

    I guess my point is that for real change to happen there needs to be a social movement, there needs to be involvement, a revolution if you will, but Americans — Americans who VOTE — are too unreasonable, ignorant, lazy, indifferent and stupid to ORGANIZE against corporatism, greed and corruption. Americans live they’re petty lives watching Bristol Palin on reality TV, and once a year they vote and NOTHING HAPPENS. That is reasonable? That takes effort??

    Involvement in a cooperative society doesn’t involve punching a ticket into a ballot box (or a Diebold Voting Machine) its about making a difference in your community and truly fighting and taking direct action against injustices that take place right in front of your face — and right now in America, that does NOT involve voting.

    Either way, no matter what the laws are and no matter where I am, I am going to make a difference for whats good when I can — so you can take your vote and shove it up your ass.

    It is also surprising to see someone who’s proven themselves to be so fucking intelligent in their posts and responses to espouse a view so extreme. Typical Fight Club bullshit. “If we’re all Tyler Durden, things’ll change.”

    Turns out it doesn’t work that way. David Koresh tried that. Ruby Ridge. This terrorist (before “terrorist” became synonmous with Muslim) motherfucker called Tim McVeigh blew up a whole bunch of kids in his crusade against the government. Did he win?

    No.

    You try to blow up cop cars at the station? They will find you and persecute/prosecute you.
    You try to get a strike going? Your co-workers better agree or “Right To Work” states will fire your ass.
    You squat/live off the grid? Admirable, but difficult. Time and labor intensive…and always risky (government can always cite eminent domain)

    You say we’re ruled by wolves…but the wolves have guns. Approaching them with the sticks and arrows of individualistic, extreme, small-time actions is juvenile.

    Assange’s action is certainly not small time. He’s got some help. He’s also making a lot of noise.

    The system is too complex to be rebuilt from scratch. The only way to fix the system is to Refactor it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_refactoring) It’s a long, painful process…but it’s the only thing that will work.

    That means working within the system. Voting. More importantly, as you said, “organizing”…getting others to vote with you. That’s how these Mormons got Prop 8 passed. Neo-Conservatives have been more effective at using the Internet in the past 2 years to mobilize their base and get their message across than Progressives. Every Yahoo fucking article these days has 1st/2nd post some neo-con nutjob spouting hate or bullshit.

    Keep in mind I was not serious about blowing up cop cars, and I’ll admit that I think that voting can be effective at times, smaller elections — local shit.

    You say the only way to fight back effectively is to vote, organize and defeat from within.

    I think organizing is probably the most effective way to make changes to our communities and what surrounds us. Almost every single major social change that has been achieved has been preceded by a large social movement — civil rights — women’s suffrage — labor laws — people who were pissed off got together to the extent that politicians were forced concede on the issues that were making people pissed. In my mind it is a form of appeasement — it has very little to do with voting, especially on a Federal level where both parties have obvious ties to large corporations. My assessment of what happened during these various social movements is that people being organized in such an intense fashion was bad for business (riots, people not working, people not going out and buying things) — and as such their pawns in the Government passed laws to keep people happy enough that business as usual could continue.

    I don’t know about you, but I’ve been on two bridges that collapsed not long after I was on them, in Connecticut. One on I95 over the Miantis River, the other in West Hartford,CT.

    This happened in the 1980′s when reagan refused to fund maintaining them.

    Imagine buildings with no government standards, and he wouldn’t have any government program for standards on foods like meat. Again something the gop neglected.

    When it comes to these issues Ron Paul is nuts.

    Wait, wait, wait, wait……. you said it yourself. The Government is perfectly okay with killing a lot of people. You claim that many millions (I highly doubt there are many millions of conspiracy nuts) have evidence that the US was involved in a False Flag attack, so tell me — why aren’t they all dead? The US has no problem fabricating a terrorist attack, but when it comes to keeping it covered up they just throw up their hands and say ‘fuck it?’

    I don’t get it.

    Here you go again. Social Programs that are weak? If they are weak it’s because the gop did everything to weaken them as well as our economy.

    Now do you feel Kucinich is just like Franks? Or Barbra Boxer is like Blanche Lincoln? Russ Feingold like Dodd? Sorry to see Feingold go.

    You couldn’t be more wrong.

    We have more of a challenge because the majority of corporations contribute to the gop, and thanks to the fascist five on the supreme court they were able to donate even more and stated that we didn’t have the right to know who those corporations are, or how much they donate.

    Yes there are some bad Democrats and some of them were fired by their constituents. Good riddance to them. Who needs the blue dogs?

    “I didn’t know you were kidding when you posted that reasonable people don’t vote. Or that there is no differences between the Democrats or gop, and we vote and are proud to.”

    In regards to voting I feel that voting in local elections is valid. Federal elections are a joke. I also feel that too many Americans simply go to the polls and think their civic duty is complete…… and that’s total bullshit. Voting in a Federal Election gives people a false sense of empowerment. Social change is not achieved through voting but through organizing and rabble rousing.

    In regards to the differences between the Dems and the GOP…. of course there are differences between the two. My point was that effectively that both parties are corporate parties. One may be more entrenched in corporatism than the other, but at the end of the day they both basically represent corporations. Sure, there are Democrats like Dennis Kucinich, but they are largely ineffectual.

    By the way I’m from Massachusetts. Oh and FUCK the blue dogs. They didn’t complain about spending billions of dollars to get us into the Iraq War, but when it comes to Health Care reform they get their fannies in a bunch. No good sons of bitches.

    “even the feds admit to half million dollar payments from intelligence services. short selling unsolved, plenty of foreknowledge”

    “for you to bully people that continue to ask questions about the event being used to justify our freedom being completely stripped from us on an ongoing, relentless basis is the most despicable bullshit. fuuuuuuck you.”

    What is despicable, aside from the way you word your sentences, is that not one ‘truther’ has so far ever presented to me credible evidence that would suggest that 9-11 was an inside job. It simply does not exist. How can so many people fall for such ridiculousness? It really makes me question the strength of the American education system.

    “the truth is, you are uncomfortable dealing with the fact that you aren’t told everything”

    Um…. okay Sigmund Freud. Are you trying to psychoanalyze me? Are you sure you don’t want to revise your findings? Maybe my denial of 9-11 conspiracy theories is the result of my desire to kill my father in order to have sex with my mother.

    How about this? Do some research, compile a — let’s say — three paragraph essay containing all the evidence you believe to be credible indicating that 9-11 was an inside job. I will counter your three paragraphs. Let’s see if you can do that, here on this public forum. Who knows? Maybe you’ll uncover something compelling.

    Actually I really doubt that.

    Fuckin idiot!!!!!! Whoa there Junior. You’ve already destroyed yourself on the forum.
    But I’ll give you a little break, in that you may mature.

    You mean this Shaye:
    Daniel Shaye was a poor farmhand from Massachusetts when the Revolution broke out. He joined the Continental Army where he fought at Lexington, Bunker Hill, and Saratoga, and was eventually wounded in action. In 1780, he resigned from the army unpaid and went home to find himself in court for the nonpayment of debts. He soon found that he was not alone in being unable to pay his debts, and once even saw a sick woman who had her bed taken out from under her because she was also unable to pay.
    This from the Commonwealth of Religious fanatics. I doubt that the Commonwealth of Virginia behaved like this, even your precious G.W. who was a Virginian.
    While George was an excellent military opportunistic General, he was barely a mediocre statesmen.
    Yes, his response to the Shayes’ rebellion was force of arms just as his response to the Whisky Rebellion was the same. He could run an army but was wanting when it came to civil matters. Fortunately he realized it and did not seek a second term.

    That’s my civil response to your ‘get a brain’.

He served in the Air Force with distinction attaining the rank of Lt. Col., I believe. He scrimped and saved his money and invested it.

    Yes! he is a capitalist. No! he is not a globalist. Yes! he believes in hard money like gold and silver coins as specified in the United States Constitution. Yes! he does believe in the strict interpretation of the enumerated powers of Our Constitution. Yes! he believes that everything else as stated in the Tenth Amendment Of The Bill Of Rights is reserved to each State.

    You stupid clown. You think focusing on questions surrounding glaring discrepancies to the how’s and why’s of 911 in any way takes away from why we became involved in two illegal wars? What a dumass. The newspapers and news sites can always make another page. And by the by, the official 911 conspiracies had front page exposure while the obvious questions surrounding discrepancies of the official 911 story were put way in the back of the papers if they were put in the paper at all. Instead a cottage industry has sprouted up in its place to balance out the unending questions surrounding the official conspiracy story. Questions that Kean and Hamilton, the leaders of the 911 commission, still have. Here you go you stupid douche bag:

    The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our investigation”.

    The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American people (free subscription required).

    Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations.

    9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only “the first draft” of history.

    9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .”

    9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting”

    Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up”.

    9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said that “We purposely put together a staff that had – in a way – conflicts of interest”.

    The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”

    So a few people in the 9-11 commission (a sham in my opinion — they didn’t ask the right questions as to WHY we were attacked) state that they believed certain officials made false statements and that the 9-11 commission was compromised. Out of context, a lot of these quotes could be referring to anything — namely that the CIA and FBI didn’t want people to know why we had been attacked (a result of our disastrous foreign policy in the Middle East) — but more likely the CIA and FBI wanted to cover up their lack of action preceding 9-11; they wanted to cover their ass.

    What is more plausible? That the US Government didn’t want to share culpability in the attacks by admitting that US foreign policy in the Middle East induced this act of ‘blowback’ — or that the US Government didn’t want to appear weak by admitting that its agencies that were supposed to prevent such attacks failed completely?

    Or do you buy into a theory that the US Government orchestrated a false flag attack employing the cooperation of Conspirators at many different levels of Government? Why would you? When there is no evidence suggesting this is true — FACT: Building seven was damaged by one of the towers as it fell, and required only one of its support beams to fail in order to fall the way it did — FACT: Jet fuel burns at 825 degrees Celsius, but steel loses 50% of its strength at 648 degrees Celsius — FACT: There were dozens of (civilian) witnesses who saw flight 77 crash into the Pentagon and the pilot who stated that Flight 77 could not have flown at the speeds they did without stalling is a conspiracy theorist and has provided no credible evidence to back up his theories — FACT: A real conspiracy involves very few people (Enron, Iran-Contra, Watergate) and they always get caught because somebody becomes a whistle blower — so why believe it?

    It is much more plausible that what the FBI and CIA were ‘covering up’ was the fact that they failed. It is also much more plausible that the Bush administration did not want to admit that many members of the Administration were directly responsible for US interventionism in the Middle East which can be directly attributed to hatred for the US in the region, and therefor WHY we were attacked.

    Dear Fordneri,

    Who cares what Bush did? We are talking about Ron Paul. You say that Ron Paul “wants corporations to be regulated free.” Well, if that’s so, it means he wants people to be free (people are corporations), and what’s the problem with that? Corporatism, or the criminal crony collusion between government and business is only possible under one condition, that your government is criminal. The problem lies with a bloated and corrupt bureaucracy availing itself to criminals and manipulators, not the business world which is naturally inclined to look for advantages.

    Ron Paul never, in any way shape or form wanted what you claim, some reverse socialistic transfer of wealth from the poor up to the rich. Ron Paul is very economically literate, and he knows that this idea of yours makes no sense because it’s unsustainable.

    Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist and someone who always promotes liberty.

    I am an academic PhD in microbiology and know a lot about the industrial side of things. It is exactly over-regulation that has gotten us into this mess. Because of the close ties with big pharma and government, it is almost impossible for small start up pharmaceutical companies to enter the market.

    Thus big pharma hold the extremely profitable 3rd generation drugs that don’t cure a thing, and small start ups simply can’t cut through the red tape to offer a CURE (which is not profitable for big pharma) all because of GOVERNMENT.

    Pure unadulterated libertarianism is a pipe dream utopia. But minimal common sense regulations, and a vigilant court system unafraid of corporations, is the only answer.

    I believe the only way to achieve this is to have Ron Paul types represent the right, and Kuchinich types represent the left. We both agree on the same problems, and our ability to get along and compromise will be the answer.

    You know this as well as everyone else does , but looks as if you do not give a darn..

    Sorry I hurt your feelings, but I have the utmost contempt for people who spread lies and distract people from real issues. Who attacked us on 9-11 is NOT up for debate. There are facts, and people who accept those facts — then there are those who do not, and they do not deserve the slightest bit of respect in my book. The facts are there, you choose to ignore them, and it does nothing but hurt America.

    Strange you seem to be defending Obama’s record when nobody was really challenging it…. defensive much?

    Even if Obama did get some decent legislation passed (that is debatable, you might mention the Health Care bill, I might say it won’t do shit to solve the health care crisis in America), he got the Nobel Prize before he had time to do anything, so your point is moot.

    Also, he was awarded the Nobel Peace prize when in fact he had already begun to escalate the war in Afghanistan and has since funded various anti-democratic groups in South America through the NED and also backs the illegal Honduran government through the Millennium corporation. I wonder if the Nobel Prize Committee is regretting their decision.

    Wow. Way to make such a substantive comment! You have included absolutely nothing but subjective opinions to make the case for Ron Paul. Why don’t you join his advisory team?

    So basically the federal government would have no power over the states. States would be allowed to completely infringe upon universal rights. Slavery would be made legal again! Yippie!!!!

    You’re a confederate! How have you survived so long? The Civil War was ages ago….
