Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) is gaining
steam in his presidential campaign
and the establishment is preparing
to stop him at any cost. His
fundraising statistics reveal a
blossoming, Internet-based movement
that is uniting libertarians and
other concerned citizens from across
the political spectrum.
His performance in the media has
been sharp, and his organization is
honing its message. But if Paul
remains a viable candidate, he faces
a set of obstacles unlike any other.
When evaluating his chances, it's
important to understand contemporary
America: This is not a democracy and
not a constitutional republic.
America is a carefully concealed
oligarchy. A few thousand people,
mostly in government, finance, and
the military-industrial complex, run
this country for their own purposes.
By manipulating the two-party
system, influencing the mainstream
media, and controlling the flow of
campaign finance money, this
oligarchy works to secure the
nomination of its preferred
candidates (Democratic and
Republican alike), thus giving
voters a "choice" between Puppet A
and Marionette B.
Unlike the establishment's
candidates, Paul is a freelancer
running on
specific
ideas. The federal government
must function within the strict
guidelines of the Constitution,
should deconstruct its empire,
withdraw troops from around the
world, reestablish a foreign
policy
based on non interventionism,
abolish the Federal Reserve
Bank,
eliminate fiat currency and
return to hard money.
This is not a political agenda
or party platform. It is a
revolution.
The entire ruling oligarchy
would be swept away if these
ideas were
implemented. Every sentence,
every word, every jot and tittle
of this
agenda is unacceptable,
repellent and hateful to
America's ruling elite.
The reasons for this are
obvious. Through its control of
the Federal
Reserve, the banking elite makes
billions of dollars in unearned
profits and exerts enormous
influence over the American
economy.
Countless industries and special
interest groups (both foreign
and
domestic) have sprung up around
our so-called defense and
national
security budgets. The
bureaucratic elites who dominate
the federal
government despise the
Constitution's limitations
on their power and
view the document as just an
archaic "piece of paper."
They will not "walk away" if
Paul is elected president. When
its
authority over the Southern
states was challenged in the
19th century,
the oligarchy suspended the
Constitution and launched a
bloody war
that killed three quarters of a
million people. They arrested
newspaper editors, deported
antiwar congressmen, and burned
down
American cities.
A century later, the oligarchy
nuked two Japanese cities,
killing
thousands of civilians in the
twinkling of an eye. When its
marginal
interests were threatened in
Southeast Asia, the oligarchy
launched a
devastating war that killed over
a million people and left the
region
marinating in toxic defoliating
chemicals.
To further its interests in the
Middle East, the oligarchy
slapped
horrific sanctions on Iraq that
so far have killed 250,000
children
(and then trotted out Madeleine
Albright—one of Clinton's
blood-stained trolls—to smugly
declare that the deaths were
"worth it").
If the oligarchy would behave
this way to protect its often
marginal
interests, what would it do to
stop a devastating assault on
its very
existence?
The attack on Paul will begin in
earnest when it appears he has
an
even remote possibility of
winning. It will follow a fairly
predictable path: The first step
is already in play. The
establishment
will start by simply ignoring
him, by using its power in the
mainstream media and their
influence over campaign donors.
It will try
excluding him from debates. This
strategy is already failing. The
Internet and talk radio are
outside the elite's direct
control and are
being used effectively by Paul
to "get the message out." The
establishment will generate
ridicule and fear mongering.
Paul's ideas will be grotesquely
distorted in establishment media
"hit
pieces." They'll say he wants to
permit heroin use in public
schools,
or that he wants old people to
die in the streets without their
Social
Security checks, or that he
wants to allow greedy
industrialists to
dump toxic waste into your
drinking water.
The next arrow in the
oligarchy's quiver will be
scandal—real or
fabricated. Usually, this takes
the form of pictures, billing
records,
etc. involving financial or
sexual hi-jinks. For these
folks, it would
be child's play to implicate him
in some sort of phony ethical,
moral,
or financial skullduggery
(doctored pictures, sordid media
accounts
from "eyewitnesses," etc.).
If Paul somehow survives this
assault, the oligarchy will move
on to
the criminal justice system. On
some fine day, a stretch limo
will
pull up to the Capitol Building
and one of the establishment's
hit men
(Jim Baker or maybe Vernon
Jordan) will ooze into Paul's
office for a
"chat."
Maybe Paul forgot to fill out
Form X109/23W on his 1997 income
tax
return? Or drained a mud puddle
when he built his new house that
could
be classified as a "wetland"? Or
maybe a close relative is in hot
water with OSHA/FDA/IRS/youname-it
(federal prosecutors love to go
after relatives in order to gain
"leverage"). Paul's sentence
could be lessened if he
agreed to drop his candidacy as
part of a "plea bargain."
Ayn Rand once stated that the
hallmark of authoritarian
systems is the
creation of innumerable,
incomprehensible laws. Such
systems make
everyone an un-indicted felon
and allow for the exercise of
arbitrary
government power via selective
prosecution. If all this failed
and if
Paul remained a threat to win
the presidency, the
establishment may
decide to let him take office
and then use their considerable
influence to ensure his
presidency ended in
failure—mostly through
their control of Congress, the
federal bureaucracy and the
mainstream
media.
The oligarchy's problem with
this strategy is that it entails
considerable risk. As president,
Paul could use the powers of the
office to inflict untold damage
to the imperial structure
(especially
if he chose to withdraw American
troops stationed overseas).
Worse, he
could appoint anti-tyranny
"ideologues" to a variety of
positions in
the federal government. The
damage to the oligarchs could
take decades
to undo.

"To calm fears, Americans accepted
the patriot act and the doctrine of
pre-emptive war. We tolerated new
laws that allow the government to
snoop on us, listen to our phone
calls, track our financial dealings,
make us strip down at airports and
even limited the rights of habeas
corpus and trial by jury. Like some
dysfunctional episode of the
twilight zone, we allowed the summit
of our imagination to be linked up
with the pit of our fears." Ron Paul
