Neocons Revel in the FBI's Terror Plots

Here a Ron-hating AmSpecker, aching to have other people kill masses of Iranians for his favorite governments, claims that the latest terrorism hoax shows that Ron is wrong to work for peace. Ha! In fact, of course, more and more Americans agree with Ron s about the need to end the empire and its financier, the Fed, for moral and economic reasons. Oh, and see Justin on this anti-Iranian "terror" trick, designed, like the rest, to promote global war, the police state, plush contracts for the boys, and other neocon values.

Politico Covers the Gold Standard

Fedster and left-Keynesian Larry Lindsey, speaking at a Fedster and right-Keynesian DC thinktank, predicts a gold standard within 10 years. He means a phony gold standard of the supply-side sort, which sprinkles a little gold dust in Bernanke's beard while leaving the big, fractional-reserve banks in charge. Still, the comment, and the conference, are tributes to Ron Paul, though he is ignored and even traduced by all these establishment shills. Ron has made honest money a political issue for the first time in 100 years. When the present system collapses, he will be The Man.

The Irrelevant Rickster

Perry's become an afterthought, says Salon. It is amazing how stupid he seems. There is only one thing I like about Gardasil Rick: he doesn't keep chanting "9-9-9."

Crowd Controlled Last Night

Writes Travis Holte:

"Obviously this is an RP rule. The establishment wants its potential murdering thieves-in-chief to be cheered, and no one else.

"BTW, Ron got about five minutes out of two hours."

Ron's Heroic Question to the Fedster Cain

Writes Rick Fisk:

"Ron Paul's question in the debate was an exemplary proof of his

character.. The question he asked was about Cain's libel and slander

of Paul's supporters who have on several different occasions for dared

to confront him about the Federal Reserve. Cain called such questions

'stupid' in his book. He also, when as a guest host for Neil Boortz's

radio show, said that the only reason people were asking questions

about the fed are because they 'don't know what's going on'. Just call

up and talk to the Fed's PR people says Cain and they'll explain it to

you! Ron Paul wasn't just defending his own views by putting Cain on

the spot, he was defending us, his supporters. Can you ever think of a

situation where a politician went out of his way to stand up for his

own supporters? Of course this is just one example of many but I

thought it quite noble and astounding.

"Oh, and by the way, the Huffington Post had Cain busted in less than an hour."

The Bankster Debate

The most biased, boring, irrelevant "debate" was last night's Bloomberg-WaPo financial forum at Darthmouth. The real financial issues were avoided, in plotocrat-obiedient fashion. Ron was treated as even more of a potted plant than usual, through he was the only one with any economic knowledge at the TARPist table. In his few opportunities, he shone, which is why he is ignored. The other candidates were, in turn, evil, laughable, stupid, sinister, lying, irelevant.

Ron Is WInning Him Over

Now Brent Budowsky of The Hill wants full disclosure from the Fed on who got the bailout $$, through a joint Ron-Occupy demand.
