Ron Paul at CPAC
David Weigel | February 8, 2008, 9:20am
If anyone was wondering what effect Ron Paul's new hires like Doug Bandow or Daniel McCarthy were having on Ron Paul's campaign, it was on display when he addressed CPAC late yesterday, the last candidate to speak to the grand ballroom before it was cleaned up for a banquet. Paul's speech was the most combative I'd ever heard from him, and the message sent out from his campaign was that it wouldn't be the last. He is not stopping his bid to shore up his House seat. He's going to be in this race as long as the money's flowing. At 10 a.m. today he's
speaking at Liberty University, meaning he wants protest votes in the fading GOP race when it goes to Virginia on Tuesday.
The key moments in the speech were harsh statements of his foreign policy and attacks on John McCain. That latter stuff was red meat for this conference. After one subdued mention of McCain's pledge to keep troops in Iraq for a hundred years if needed, Paul said "McCain" had a few troublesome friends. "One of his friends is named... Feingold!" Then a blast against campaign finance reform. "Another of his friends is named... Kennedy!" Then, an attack on immigration reform. "Another of his friends, although he's not in the Senate anymore, is Daschle! Tom Daschle. Working with him on
raising taxes, not cutting taxes." All of this got the biggest cheers from the most listless, curious section of the crowd. Kids and middle-aged men who'd had their arms folded for most of the speech started smirking and saying "Yeah!" at every McCain hit.
The rest of the speech had its ropey moments, with a lot, lot, lot of talk about monetary policy in the rhythm we all know and love: "And the dollar's going down, and the solution they say is to print more money, but where is the money coming from, it's coming from China," etc. The foreign policy section sounded like an AntiWar.com essay: concise, raw, ending with Paul saying "Osama bin Laden loves our foreign policy!" But that didn't actually draw boos. The only boos came when Paul said: "Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11! There were no weapons of mass destruction!" You could hear a small tide of jeering from the middle of the room, and Paul's supporters had to start yelling their candidate's name to drown them out.
Thanks to the self-selection of the crowd there was less booing than met John McCain, and the emcee closed out for Paul bragging that the Democrats didn't have such a diversity of opinion in their party. Paul milled around for the better part of 15 minutes as volunteers mulled over their chances in the coming primaries and their odds of poaching Mitt Romney support. (One had gotten a call from a Romney organizer who wanted to come to Paul, just to stick it to McCain.) A constellation of libertarian and paleo stars chatted at the back of the room.
Steve Gordon asked them what they thought of Mitt Romney's exit and grabbed some quotes for Third Party Watch:
Former Paul National Field Director Dennis Fusaro said, “Good riddance to bad rubbish.”
There will be “lots of heartbroken virgins in Salt Lake City,” quipped Attention Deficit Democracy author Jim Bovard.
“[Romney’s] wife got tired of him writing so many checks,” responded former Congressman Bob Barr. He added, “A lack of substance cannot buy credibility.”
It's a bit of a change. A month ago, Paul supporters were hoping on a brokered convention. Now the candidate himself joins them in hoping a smaller field will increase his exposure.

This is truly an amazing time in history as I watch how the American people don,t even have a clue of what is going on with the politricks. I am all for Ron Paul but the political system is already being hijacked by the Corporate Elite and World Bankers. This is a show that they put on for us in cooperation with the Media propaganda, when the next President is Already picked for us. Hillary Clinton(Bilderberg meeting).The Elections are already fixed and it doesn't matter who is the President.
The following was published by Jeane Dixon in the 1970's
Dixon also foresaw the advent of the Antichrist and the False Prophet:
"Satan is now coming into the open to seduce the world and we should be prepared for the inevitable events that are to follow. I have seen that the United States is to play a major role in this development... I have seen a 'government within a government' develop in the US within the last few years... I see this 'government within a government' being controlled and financed by a well-oiled political ‘machine’ of one of our leading political families. With their eye on the White House, I see them discredit any man who occupies it without their approval, no matter how good his political programs may be.
"They will --- through political intimidation, propaganda, and illegal sixth-column activities --- make every effort to show the nation that only their man, the one who heads their 'machine', has the sole right to occupy the White House. Their campaign is going to cause great harm to our nation both here and abroad.
"I 'see' this group succeed in taking over de facto control of the country. They will give rise to an upheaval in our social structure as never before seen. They will bring about increased social unrest and great discontent. Foreign subversive elements will --- as they did in the 1960s --- infiltrate the unruly factions and cause renewed fighting on the nation's campuses and in racial ghettos
"All of the evil in the masses will be swept toward an unknown frenzy by this ‘machine’.
"I 'see' a member of this 'machine' ascend to power in New York City, enforcing new laws and regulations that will affect many households of that great metropolis. [Obviously, the Rockefellers are indicated here]
"The social and religious chaos generated by this political machine throughout the United States will prepare the nation for the coming of the prophet of the Antichrist. This political unit of the East will be the tool of the serpent in delivering the masses to him.
"The False Prophet’s domain shall be the intellectual seduction of mankind. It means a mixture of political, philosophical, and religious ideology that will throw the populations of the world into a deep crisis of faith in God... One of his first duties and responsibilities in readying the world for the advent of his 'master' is to manipulate the available propaganda machines. With teaching and propaganda the prophet will cause people not merely to accept the Antichrist but rather to desire him with positive enthusiasm to create the conditions of his coming and to participate in organizing the frightful and terrifying despotism of his World Empire.
"[The seemingly miraculous phenomena he will produce] will not be supernatural or preternatural events but rather prodigies of science and human achievements, but interpreted in such a way as to lead men away from God and toward the worship of the Antichrist... The prophet of the Antichrist and the Antichrist himself will be specific and identifiable persons!"
WOW!
Most of the people voting in America are getting their political information from the Mas Media (TV,newspaper) and not the internet. The Media,The World Bankers and the Politicians running this election soap opera scam are under control by the few corporate elite.
The New World Order is in full effect and Americans will not wake up. In the future when we protest, we will be called terrorists and The Patriot Act, The Military Commission Act will be implemented on the North American Union Citizens. I will Vote Ron Paul but The System already chose Hillary Clinton (Bilderberg)
These are the candidates who are CFR members
Democrat CFR Candidates:
Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
John Edwards
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
Republican CFR Candidates:
Mitt Romney
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Fred Thompson
Mike Huckabee is being advised by the Director of the CFR according to a recent statement made by him.
The main, root cause, issues of the 2008 that none of the candidates is talking about (except for Ron Paul) are the following:
1) the united states debt of $9.2 Trillion (FIAT EMPIRE Home Page)
2) the unfunded liabilities totaling $60 Trillion (U.S. Government Accountability Office (U.S. GAO))
3) the monetization of debt (that is, making money out of thin air - Freedom Force International - Welcome)
Unless your candidate talks about these root-cause issues, they are just spouting empty rhetoric.
Please research these issues and the CFR, and how the CFR is selling the US out to the international bankers.
DO SOME RESEARCH AMERICA
and stop being led like a lam to the slaughter. There will become a time when there will be an abomination in desolation and there will be nowhere to hide.
