Ron Paul’s Alaska D’ebut!
Ron Paul is scheduled for a short interview at 10 am on Friday, 1/25 on Anchorage’s KFQD AM 750.
From: Not Just a Campaign, It’s a Movement, by Alan Stang
Notice that our Communist media still treat Fred and Rudy as major candidates while they do their best to ignore Dr. No. In a classic example, the New York Times, which has assiduously promoted Communism since Walter Duranty, reported the Nevada results of all the candidates – even Rudy Who and CFR Fred – complete with pictures, except the man who took second with 14%.
The other day, in a discussion about conservatism on the air, I heard a caller ask Rush Limbaugh about Dr. No. How the caller got through the screener, I don’t know. Limbag stuttered, said he “profoundly disagreed” that Dr. Paul expressed conservative principles, hung up and went to break. That was it; there was not a syllable of argument that proved Dr. Paul wrong, just Limbag’s expression of profound disagreement.
Somebody else called Republican front man Hugh Hewitt. The caller told the screener he was for far leftist John McCain, but on the air he shouted that he was for Dr. Paul. Hewitt told the screener who blew it that his check would be docked $10 if that happens again. Of course, Hewitt was joking, about the $10, not about his desire to squelch Dr. No.
Maybe the editors at the Times are too busy buggering each other to be aware of this, but they and right wing Communist talk radio scumbags like Hannatwit are destroying their own credibility, a symptom of the fact that the Old Media are dying. Of course in their death throes they are more dangerous than ever. I submit that for Dr. Paul to do as well as he has in the face of all this is something of a political miracle.

The questionaire is up right now at http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight.
Consider that Ron Paul has beat Rudy Giuliani in every almost every state so far by a 2:1 or higher margin, and Giuliani still gets lots of air time—while Paul gets close to zero.

NO MENTION OF RON PAUL!
If I were Ron Paul, considering the treatment or perhaps “non-treatment” he has had by the establishment media, while other candidates have received coverage worth millions of dollars (FREE), I would quit the race for the Republican nomination and go Independent.
About an hour ago Norma McCorvey, a.k.a “Jane Roe” from the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, formally endorsed Ron Paul at the Phoenix Park hotel in Washington. Why didn’t she endorse a frontrunner like Mike Huckabee? Thank the grassroots: She saw a newspaper ad in Nevada, bought by Paul supporters, using the analogy of the frog and the pot of boiling water to demonstrate what was happening to America. “It touched my heart.” That was three weeks ago, and McCorvey keynoted a pro-life Paul rally in Nevada on January 12th, but the campaign made the official announcement today before Paul spoke at the March for Life. McCorvey:
I support Ron Paul for president because we share the same goal, that of overturning Roe v Wade. Ron Paul doesn’t just talk about being pro-life, he acts on it. His voting record truly is impeccable and he undoubtedly understands our constitutional republic and the inalienable right to life for all. Ron Paul is the prime author of H.R. 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v. Wade. As the signor of the affidavit that legalized abortion 35 years ago I appreciate Ron Paul’s action to restore protection for the unborn. Ron Paul has also authored H.R. 1094 in Congress, which seeks to define life as beginning at conception. He has never wavered on the issue of being pro-life and has a voting record to prove it. He understands the importance of civil liberties for all, including the unborn.

Denmark Bank predicts Ron Paul presidency, U.S. depression
Denmark based Saxo Bank predicts Ron Paul presidency in 2008. According to Pravda.Ru, the bank predicts Paul will be the next president and that the U.S. economy will plunge into a depression prior to the election.
Saxo Bank says the U.S. economy will shrink by 25% and the Chinese economy will decrease by 40%. The economic downturn will come about as a result of the housing crash.
Ron Paul has been critical of the Federal Reserve and has blamed the Federal Reserve for causing the real estate bubble and crash. Paul has said that the loose monetary policy of the Fed had artificially inflated real estate prices which lead to the collapse.
Paul supports ‘Sound Money’ and opposes the Federal Reserve’s ‘Inflation Tax’ and says that he wants to prevent a dollar collapse.

“I’m starting to feel like the powers-that-be do not have America’s interest in mind at all.
It’s starting to feel like our ruin is their objective.”
This is the third piece I have written today about the blatent and disgusting censorship of Ron Paul aftebeat John McCain today and finished second in all voting in Nevada’s primary.Ron Paul finished second today beating McCain, Thompson, Giuliani and Huckabee in Nevada.
yet the rag newspaper New York Times found a way to continue to ignore Ron Paul.
The “official results page” on the New York Times website does not even list Ron Paul as a candidate.

1/25/08 Update: Paul is finally on NY Times’ chart—after Giuliani; though, he’s placed higher thus far
Just 2 minutes ago I am watching the MSNBC coverage of the Nevada primary…. They then flash Obama, Hillary and Edwards graphic up showing 48%, 46% and 5% for Edwards.They then show the Republican numbers and only show two candidates numbers in their NEW GRAPHIC.
For the first time in all the primaries they decide to use a “top 2″ candidate graphic, because Ron Paul is a very close third place with 12%. In all other primaries they show the top three in their default graphic, and for the first time in all the coverage they decide its time to use just the top 2. They still show the top three in the Democrat race, event though Edwards is 36 POINTS behind the second place slot of Hillary, But the don’t show Ron Paul third when he is only 1% behind being in second place.
According to Digg, this screenshot was submitted before 11 am (Pacific), today—before most Nevadans have even voted! Look who’s missing!!!
With less than 1% of the precincts reporting, Ron Paul is almost tied with John McCain for 2nd place—at 14% with 48 votes, compared to McCain’s 51 and Huckabee’s 26.
But FOX News shows Huckabee instead of Paul!
Ron Paul for President 2008 is saying it this way:
Once again the enemy of the people Faux News omits Ron Paul being in third place at the time of this graphic. Have any doubts as to how they censor Ron Paul? NEVER support Faux again!
If this gets pulled by YouTube, again, please let me know. They may leave it up, now that it’s getting so much attention. See: About This Video. There is nothing here that Americans shouldn’t see.

The picture of the girl and how they laugh at Ron Paul, the peacemaker, reminds me of Roger Waters’ The Bravery of Being Out of Range:
… Hey bartender over here
Two more shots
And two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs
They’re really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away
3,000 miles away
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
The media’s manipulation of these wars and now Ron Paul’s campaign amounts to pure, unconstitutional censorship.

ELECTION CENTRAL: ROMNEY–THE ONE TO STOP
With a solid win in the Michigan primary, supposedly a “make it or break it” contest for Romney, the establishment is now going to have it’s hands full trying to stop the surge for Romney. The media claimed Romney’s grasp of the economy was what propelled him to victory in Michigan. Not so. It was just bad, old-fashioned pandering to a depressed economic area, promising federal help-though avoiding the word “bailout.” Romney is not taking the high road of a Ron Paul, who would never stoop to promising benefits. This, sadly, makes Ron Paul less electable and easier for the establishment to dismiss. But Romney is playing the establishment game with the best, and that is the establishment’s problem. As Romney tries to appeal to a wide audience, the election insiders are having to promote 3 different candidates, in different ways and at different times, in order to stop various aspects of the Romney appeal.
This article addresses the long-term significance of the Ron Paul phenomenon from the point of view of his Christian supporters. It points out the need for specifically Christian support of the movement.
by Lou Poumakis
(Libertarian)The primary thrust of Ron Paul campaign is for personal freedom for all Americans. His methodology for realizing that freedom is to reestablish the Constitution as the law of the land. That will lead to fiscal responsibility, the cessation of imperialism and the demise of the welfare state. It would free us all from the tyranny we are already feeling and the far worse tyranny that is in the offing. It is a noble goal and well worth supporting with all the energy we can muster. The question I must ask at this point though, is whether or not the American people are really ready for such a freedom. I direct this question especially to the Christian segment of Ron Paul supporters and to Christians as a whole. As a Christian myself, I believe we should go to God’s word to see what it has to say about freedom.

RON PAUL DROPS BALL ON 9/11
A lot of Ron Paul supporters were disappointed by Ron’s failure to defend them against the poisonous trap/questions posed to him about 9/11 conspiracy theories (in both the Glen Beck interview and the latest Michigan debate). Ron, obviously trying to evade being labeled a “conspiracy theorist” –the whole purpose behind these questions–said he did not believe the government was behind the attacks. Many who have joined the movement because no establishment candidate will listen to their challenges felt betrayed by Ron’s lack of knowledge on the subject and his blanket rejection. I talked to Ron’s campaign manager Lew Moore and he is aware of the disappointment and feels bad about it. He assured me that Ron has mentioned on numerous other occasions that if elected, he would open a new investigation and make sure that the 9/11 Truth Movement is represented.
Clearly, the Ron Paul campaign has made a tactical decision to avoid openly siding with the conspiracy issue, but it should be enough for his supporters to know that he would support an open investigation. He could have said that, citing the numerous flaws in the 9/11 Commission Report, as he has before in lesser venues, but in the heat of being pressed about it on national TV, he failed to do so. In one CNN poll, a whopping 89% indicated they believe the US Government was covering something up in 9/11. That doesn’t mean they believe in a major conspiracy (which takes a lot of courage and knowledge to defend) but it does show to what degree people realize the government is covering for something.
RP Excluded, AGAIN
By RP212 | January 16, 2008
Ron Paul has been EXCLUDED from the New York Times “Election Guide 2008″ results on the web site : http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/results/index.html
Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson are both listed with their percentages that are lower than Dr. Pauls. It is consistent with the results section and the delegate count.
1/18 Update: Thank you for contacting the New York Times
Letter: ‘Fair and balanced,’ except for Paul
January 16, 2008 – 12:01 AM
I cannot believe the degree of blatant bias that Fox News showed at the recent GOP debate in South Carolina. Their “mediators” asked the “top tier” candidates about their views on important issues, while using each question to Ron Paul as an opportunity to discredit him.
They asked Mike Huckabee about his views on the economy and his associated plans, then turned and asked Paul about some of his supporters who believe 9/11 was an inside job. They even had the nerve to ask Paul, “When it comes to electability…do you have any?” This drew laughter from the other candidates and some audience members. Paul was able to turn the question around on them, drawing huge applause from the crowd.
So now “Faux” News has edited that question out of the re-aired debate. This treatment happening just days after they decided to exclude Paul from their debate in New Hampshire because he wasn’t a “viable” candidate. That seemed awfully strange to me, seeing as they invited Rudy Giuliani, whom Paul beat in the Iowa caucuses by 6 percent.
How is it that a news organization whose motto is “fair and balanced” can get away with treating Ron Paul like this? It makes me angry that more people are not up in arms at Fox’s attempt to influence the masses through the facade of honest reporting. Fox News is nothing more than a neo-con propaganda machine.

“Something has happened along the way,
that we’ve interpreted our strength as that of
being a military powerhouse that bullies ourselves around the world.
That is not strength.
Strength is to believe in freedom and liberty
and setting a good example to the world.”

“Today, everybody is screaming:
‘the Fed has to act…and lower interest rates,
and save the economy!’ …
How do they lower interest rates?
They print money.
That’s how they lower interest rates.
So you can’t solve the problem of inflation
with more inflation.”

Press Releases › Ron Paul Campaign Statement on Beating Giuliani and Thompson… Again
January 16, 2008 12:41 pm EST
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Kent Snyder, chairman of the Ron Paul 2008 Republican presidential campaign issued the following statement in response to the results of the Michigan primary:
“After beating Rudy Giuliani in Iowa, and Fred Thompson in New Hampshire, Ron Paul has now bested both ‘national frontrunners’ in Michigan, and in the three races held thus far Paul has received over 30,000 votes more than either of the candidates.
“If I had predicted that result when this campaign started almost twelve months ago, I would have been laughed out of the room by the so-called experts. Currently there is no frontrunner and this race is wide open.
“In Michigan, Dr. Paul’s message resonated with voters because he discusses issues that nobody else will even acknowledge. Dr. Paul is the foremost expert on monetary policy, and he truly understands the crunch that Americans are feeling due to high taxes and high inflation that drives up gas prices and mortgage payments.”
Below are the combined vote totals for Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan:
Romney – 443,139 Total Votes
McCain – 361,546 Total Votes
Huckabee – 207,308 Total Votes
Paul – 84,554 Total Votes
Giuliani – 50,925 Total Votes
Thompson – 49,198 Total Votes
Hunter – 4,567 Total Votes
