The Ron Paul Conspiracy Exposed!

Top of the Ticket : Los Angeles Times : A shocking report: Inside the Ron Paul conspiracy

A shocking report: Inside the Ron Paul conspiracy

Maybe you've heard rumors about an explosive newspaper expose on a major political figure that would rock the political world just as the presidential voting is about to begin.

We haven't either.

But we do know that today is when this newspaper blows the top off of the Ron Paul Conspiracy, that vast unorganized protest movement that has silently become one of the more interesting political phenomena of the current election season.

A Times reporter -- we'll call him James Rainey to protect his identity -- has managed to penetrate the Paul presidium.

In his story he recounts for the very first time the shockingly ordinary details of a movement of thousands of disparate, dissatisfied people, some of whom want an end to the Iraq war, an end to gun controls and the IRS, an end to laws banning marijuana and a return to the gold standard, whatever that means.

These Paulites believe the government has been hijacked by a bevy of big interests that threaten the freedoms of ordinary Americans. They're not going to take it anymore. Locally, they're even organizing a re-enactment of a brazenly defiant act, the BostonTea Party, except it'll be in Santa Monica and won't involve tea or white people dressed as Indians. And the protestors promise not to leave anything foreign floating in the water.

These committed partisans, bonded by their suspicion of authority and venal influences like the mainstream media that ignored them until they did something, have united behind a 72-year-old...

Air Force vet and ob-gyn from Texas who has managed to win 10 elections to the House of Representatives as a Republican with two first names and strongly libertarian leanings.

This man believes that U.S. sovereignity is threatened by many things, especially including consistently ignoring the Constitution and by a planned mystery superhighway that would unite with a ribbon of inexorable cement all three North American countries--Mexico, the United States and that other larger one on top that can only afford to have three downs in its football games.

Apparently he's not talking about I-15, which already does that.

"Rainey's" account describes how this man's followers appear to be ordinary citizens with jobs and family by day. But at night they gather openly in chat rooms and living rooms to plot how to promote a tiny unassuming man whom they call reverently Dr. Paul. With little central direction but tons of commitment, idealism and passion, Dr. Paul's followers do everything they can think of to mobilize voter support.

They patrol the internet day and night seeking Paul slights to right. They stand on windy interstate bridges holding inflammatory signs saying: RonPaul2008.com.

Even as you sleep at night some of the 1,200 Paul meet-up groups are handwriting letters to all 700,000 independent Iowa voters urging them to consider their long-shot leader. A couple of weeks ago Paulites raised $4.2 million on the internet in one day, a near-record, and a sum they intend to more than double on Dec. 16, the anniversary of that rebellious tea party. How's that for insignificance?

As one result, the ultra-lean Paul organization has been able to buy advertising in New Hampshire and to pump its poll numbers up near double-digits in some places. Rainey's story describes the commitment of one Ron Paul meet-up group in Southern California and the regular folks who drive it with their political beliefs and energies.

Few professionals -- well, to tell the truth, no one -- actually gives Paul any chance of winning the Republican nomination. But then up until Yorktown back in the 1700s, all the smart Vegas money was on the British.
This one made me

The Paulites are normal people!

Personally, I like "Paultard" more than "Paulite." It sounds funnier.

Yes, but that makes fun of retards, so it's politically incorrect. No one is going to make an activist group defending people named Paul.

As of this morning Paul sits at just shy of $10.5 million raised of his $12 million-by-12/31 goal... With the "Boston Tea Party" still to come, I wouldn't at all be surprised if he hits $20 million before the end of the year.

That would be monumental if he did.

I was listening to my usual Fox affiliate this morning on the way to work and heard some guy say "I predict that because of the orange bowl and the cold climate in Iowa, the dedicated Paul supporters will be able to get a decent turn out in comparison to the other candidates and get in the double digits in that primary."

It's like they're already making excuses for what might happen with RP.

Or they're saying that Paul supporters care enough about their supporter to put on a jacket.

"NAFTA Superhighway" is just a name that describes what is happening.


North America's SuperCorridor Coalition (NASCO)

<img src=http://www.nascocorridor.com/pages/ports_network/nafta_map_corridor.jpg>

The actual projects names include "Trans Texas Corridor", a set of tollways owned by the Spanish consortium, Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transport, S.A.

The property battles have already begun.

People who deny the plan that is underway are uninformed or shilling.

I'm surprised the LA Times didn't mention the CFR conspiracy too...you know...the question posed to Ron Paul during the last debate....

Why would the CFR be discussing this:

Foreign Affairs - The End of National Currency - Benn Steil

Why would the CFR be concerned about this: U.S.-Mexico Security Cooperation - Council on Foreign Relations

and this:

O’Neil: $1.4 Billion Anti-Drug Plan for Mexico Likely to Win Congressional Approval - Council on Foreign Relations

Fed Up

Does the quote I show below make anyone else shiver?
The right course is not to return to a mythical past of monetary sovereignty, with governments controlling local interest and exchange rates in blissful ignorance of the rest of the world. Governments must let go of the fatal notion that nationhood requires them to make and control the money used in their territory. National currencies and global markets simply do not mix; together they make a deadly brew of currency crises and geopolitical tension and create ready pretexts for damaging protectionism. In order to globalize safely, countries should abandon monetary nationalism and abolish unwanted currencies, the source of much of today's instability.
Here comes the Amero, and here come our global masters...
