OT/ Presidential Candidate: U.S. In Danger of Dictatorship

[Guest guest]

I didn't post this as a supporter of Ron per se, but I think his

message is important to keep in mind. I think this article also speaks

to what occurred behind Media Matters (with known Clinton

connections)frequent criticism of Imus even before Imus made the 3

word derogatory comment about the women from Rutger's. Media Matters

wasn't concerned with the good that Imus was doing, and Imus

definitely does not care for one bit.

[Turning to discussion of his Presidential campaign, Ron

championed the alternative media and the internet as vital tools in

allowing him to get his message across to a multitude of people that

never could have been reached before without huge injections of money.]

Presidential Candidate: U.S. In Danger of Dictatorship

Congressman Ron warns elite believe they own us and are " always

prepared " to take our liberties

Presidential candidate Ron has warned that the US is now at a

crisis point because the people have been so neglectful of protecting

their liberties and big government has been so effective in eroding

them. He warned that the elite are prepared to concoct events to scare

the American people and asserted that the 2008 Presidential election

is a contest between the people who care about their freedoms and

those who are willing to succumb to the temptations of dictatorship.

Congressman Ron joined on air this week for a full

hour to discuss his ongoing Presidential campaign and give his views

on what he believes the fundamental issues are in America today.

The Congressman gave a candid interview in which he discussed many

topics in depth including the economy, foreign policy, the North

American Union, the possibility of a draft and the situations in Iraq

and Iran.

Known for what many have described as his impeccable voting record,

Ron is a champion of individual liberty and a strong campaigner

for restoration of a true Constitutionalist form of US government, a

trait that has made him a rare and popular candidate amongst people

from all across the political spectrum.

When asked what he believes the overriding issue in America today is

the Congressman pointed towards the erosion of personal freedoms:

" Probably it's the threat to individual liberty. because our

government is growing endlessly by leaps and bounds and nobody seems

to want to put a hold on it. every time government grows it is at the

expense of personal liberty. "

The Congressman explained that freedom is the underlying issue because

the consequences of such erosion of individual liberty have a knock on

effect in many different areas. Economically, for example, the country

is becoming dependent, less productive and less self sustaining.

" Economically the consequences will be that there's going to be a

wholesale rejection of the dollar, because the world has trusted the

dollar, especially since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods in 1971,

when the linkage of the dollar to gold was broken, they still trusted

the dollar as if it were gold, and therefore we can print the money

and we can spend the money and foreign countries take our money, then

loan it back to us, so they're getting a bum rap. " stated.

" They get a temporarily good deal but what it does is encourage us not

to be productive, it encourages us not to have manufacturing any

longer, we can let others do it cheaper, cheap labour, and then we buy

it with cheap money. That is going to come to an end. That means later

on there are going to be a lot of changes here. Domestically the

interest rates are going to rise, the inflation rate, the price of all

goods and services, that will rise, and the economy will weaken, so we

have some very serious problems ahead. "

Turning to foreign policy the Congressman asserted that his first

action if he were to be elected as President would be to start to

bring American troops home from all over the world.

" As a Commander in chief you could certainly handle the troops around

the world. I would start talking to all our allies and tell them what

the plans were and start coming home. We are now spending close to a

trillion dollars maintaining our foreign policy. It's a lot bigger

than most people realise if you add up the Dod, the supplementals, the

interest on the money we spend and taking care of our veterans. "

The Congressman made it clear that aggression abroad and America as a

world police force has had a disastrous impact upon the very fabric of

the country.

" We have turned our own country into isolationists, diplomatically we

don't talk to anybody, we have more enemies than we've ever had before

and fewer allies, and at the same time our ability to defend this

country is being diminished on a daily basis. We worry about borders,

all around he world, we worry about borders in Korea, about borders

around Iraq, and what do we do with our own borders? Here we don't do

anything. "

then turned to the issue of the North American Union and made it

clear that he believes the plans that have been secretly laid in

Washington to merge the US, Mexican and Canadian economies are yet

again the fallout from the souring of liberty in America.

We have behind the scenes a plan for a North American Union, that's

the part that the American people are starting to wake up to, although

we have a long way to go to wake up Washington. It's amazing to me how

many people outside of Washington are very much aware of the plans

with this North American Union, at the same time they are in total

denial in Washington, except for the few behind the scenes who are

laying the plans and providing the finances. "

Turning to discussion of his Presidential campaign, Ron

championed the alternative media and the internet as vital tools in

allowing him to get his message across to a multitude of people that

never could have been reached before without huge injections of money:

" The internet already has been very helpful and I think it's going to

be more helpful as time goes on, and that's something that is becoming

more so everyday, ten fifteen years ago it wasn't so significant. The

other thing is radio talks shows like what you have are very

important. Almost every place I go somebody will come up to me and

I'll say 'how did you get involved' and it's through your show. So

there are a lot of people who have joined our campaign and have

already started to show up at our events because of your encouragement. "

emphasized that although the bigger candidates can raise millions

of dollars through special interests, a lot of that money is wasted on

private jets, huge salaries, advisors, advertising and the like. So

there isn't as big a gulf between he and the other candidates as

people may think.

The Republican Congressman, who has been dubbed " founding father

material " , by his supporters has surprised some with his initial

success, having gained widespread support from Libertarians, Liberals

and Conservatives alike.

He stressed that you have to be in the game to have any chance of

winning it, and that this not only applies to his own campaign but

more importantly applies also to everyone who wishes to remain free in

America.

" Time is running out and we may lose our liberties to the point where

we won't have these responses. " stated.

" You know there's nothing that guarantees that they will allow you to

air your radio show forever. They have already trampled on our rights,

they talking about putting people in prison today without Habeas

Corpus... If we don't preserve our fundamental freedoms we can't fight

back. I'm convinced of one thing, we could all be very very poor

tomorrow and have to start from scratch but if we have our freedoms

and we have our sound currency and we have the government off our

backs, this country would rebound so quickly. "

then outlined what he feels that the 2008 Presidential election

is all about, and also warned that the elite are prepared to attempt

to take the liberty of the people and change the course of history:

" I think they are always prepared and everyday they have more powers

than before because under these emergency powers acts, the President

now has more authority than ever. And the contest that is really going

on in this Presidential election is are there enough of us that care

about our freedoms versus those who are willing to succumb to the

temptations of dictatorship. Just think of the attitude, what it was

like right after 9/11 when they passed the Patriot Act, I said 'you

know it's not even available, you can't even read it and we're getting

ready to vote' they said 'it doesn't matter, the people want us to do

something, this looks like we're doing something, it sounds good,

there's no way I'm even gonna question this', so they voted for it.

They got their signals from the people. it is true that there are a

lot of people who wanted something done, the big question is are there

more of them or more of us? " commented.

in further reference to 9/11 the Congressman stated:

" I think freedom's been sliding for a long time and it got a lot worse

after 9/11 and I'm always afraid of some concocted event that will

scare the American people.... The people in this country need a little

bit more reason to go along with the President, but unfortunately our

leaders in this country too often have been able to provide the

incident that unifies the country behind more militarism. "

We implore our readers to listen to the entire interview here and

support Ron 's campaign. His voting record speaks for itself and

he represents a genuine chance to attempt to put things right in

America today.
