Ron Paul on CSPAN Washington Journal 01-29-09 1 of 3

[MrUncensorable]

I love Ron paul he thinks LONG term and not Short term...... He's totally rational about civil liberties and economics

[dwendt66]

The Unites States did nothing wrong enforcing he No-Fly Zones in Iraq. I refuse to debate the Iraq War because I did not support the decision to invade the rest of Iraq but the No-Fly Zone was the only way to a) contain Saddam Hussein following his failed attempt to annex a sovereign country b) to prevent his massacering Kurds and Shiites. It would have been Rwanda-level type of genocide if the U.S. left in 1991.

[danogzilla]

susan has been so sexy for so long.

[savenolanow]

That first caller is pretty disrespectful of Ron Paul.

[chewyfishsticks]

ugh....the bailout sucks!!!! we should have just let the whole damn thing go down and deal with the pain now before it gets worse.

[swizzlecheeks]

Hard to get jobs when companies sent them overseas. God Bless, NAFTA!! Smart move Government.

[MsticalPrincess]

swiss...NAFTA?? Overseas? The only body of water between Mexico, USA and Canada are the Great Lakes and The Rio Grande. Please learn the difference of Jobs sent to China and India and Free Trade with Mexico and Canada. There is a difference. I am not for NAFTA and not for alliance with ANY particular country...but in order to have credibility to what we are opposing...we need to know what we are talking about first. Just an observation. *wink*

[TruthBlazerXL]

Ron Paul is a cut light years above the rest. No one is without flaw, but if he could attain the presidency, I'd like our chances a whole lot better.

[OldBenFranklin]

The voice of truth and knowledge speaks again. Ron Paul in 2012!

[TaffyAlpha]

Ron Paul probably has saved tons of gold and silver in preparation for this disaster...

[Tianshou88]

hoarding gold does little considering the government has the right to confiscate all gold from citizens and give it to the Fed if they deem it necessary. and they have, and they will if we ever try to go to a gold standard.

[numba1stunna4269]

Get ready for Obamanomics! :(

[edingsteve1]

The western Nations have been living and supported through colonialism for about 600 years. They have attacked a wiped out the autochtonous people of countless countries and funded their scientific development on their thievery and ruthlessness. They have never really allowed the principles of free market economy or even democracy to guide their evolution. The principle of conquest and exploitation has been the same every since colombus came in America.This had to end at some point, NOW IT IS!!

[radiospirit]

This isn't a depression. It is the total collapse of the World Financial System.

The system is dead.

[edingsteve1]

It is also the total collapse of Western Ideology of conquest. You have to understand that the fed and the international banks are just the modern tools of weapons that are used to exploit millions of people around the world, steal their wealths and natural ressources and keep them in permanent poverty. These institution were just the continuations of the Roman empire Militarism through the ages. This is a good news in the so called THIRD WORLD! INTERNATIONAL GOLD SYSTEM FOR PEACE!!

[radiospirit]

It is not good news for the third world as they will starve to death...

[edingsteve1]

Wrong cuz, you are dead wrong in that subject. The only institutions that are maintaining statism in poor but raw material rich nations are the IMF, WORLD BANKS and feds or other international corporations. They are working under the table to maintain corrupt governments around the world and so keep the poor people from freeing themselves and taking advantage of their wealth. With the destruction of the "western system" of FINANCIAL NAZISM, there is a window of real opportunity in these nations

[radiospirit]

No, there is no real opportunity for third world nations save the fact that a great multitude of them will be starved off...

[edingsteve1]

You are truly showing your ignorance on this matter my dear friend! During the western dark ages, civilization had its continuations in others parts of the world in Asia, Western Asia and Africa! These people were rich, properous and quite well off compared to the Europeans at the time! If the West fall, basically falling on itself, believe me, other Nations around the world will adjust and move on. The West is not the center of the universe contrary to what you might think.

[radiospirit]

1/3 of the population of the world exists on less than 2$ a day.

They will perish. That's 2 billion people Fred.

Did you think it out that far? What? All of a sudden these people are going to have an abundance of food?

You are ignorant. Now, get an education that you can be proud of.

[edingsteve1]

Fool, you are a fool my friend! And a ignorant as well! Do you seriously believe that it is the united state or the west that provide for the THIRD WORLD countries?Have you ever been in one by the way? What is the main political issue on these countries in relation to the west and the USA? What you need to understand my friend is that your USA has participated actively in maintaining statism in those AFRICAN countries! While you see them as starving bunches, you rarely question where most of..

[radiospirit]

I do agree that the British oligarch is responsible for keeping their foot down on the African continent. Just because the West is floundering now, doesn't mean that these African nations are going to start hitting their stride. There is a huge humanitarian crisis ready to explode on the African continent and the Indian subcontinent. Just wait for the fuel prices to go up again. You'll see...

[edingsteve1]

The British oligarchs? You re kidding my dear! The American empire my friend!! Guess what, there is an American military basis in Great Britain and all over the world. Since 1945. America has been playing the role of "Big Brother!".

Also, relatively to the west, Africa doesn't consume as much oil as you might believe! They actually possess more oil and they sell it to the rest of the world! Maybe when thing unravel, they might actually begin to refine their own oil for their people!

[Frankfritz]

The so called "Western Dark Ages" were actually not dark at all! It is a misrepresentation of history, a lot historians have begun to disagree with that dogmatic view of that period in history. But I agree with you otherwise.

[edingsteve1]

True! It is much more complicated than that! My interpretation is that Europe was dominated by Moors and arabs and kept up within its borders; added to the fact Religious dictatorship was fighting or at least monopolizing within itself 5000 years of scientific development. Europe was in a deep depression that lasted close to 1000 year and no one can contest that fact.

[Frankfritz]

I would have to disagree with that statement! For the following reason, The word "depression" to describe European social or economic situation is a term that does not fit the bill in that time. Also you describe the Dark Ages as if Europe was an underdeveloped backward people after the "Fall of Rome" this is a recent view of history in last century that has been propagated mostly by uninformed and historically incorrect conclusion from prominent university & professors.

[Frankfritz]

If these recent Historians had simply done any archeological digs there view of this period would be different. In fact there was prosperity in most of Europe after the ".Fall of Rome". As for the Moors yes they were invading and aggressively attempting to spread Islam around the world as they had succeed in conquering the rest of the Middle East and some of Asia , and of course North Africa.

[edingsteve1]

You said that the system is dead, but I doubt you understand how deep the system is dug into the world and all around the nations of this planet. You have been living and been supported with the blood and efforts of millions of innocent kids, women and men from around the world. You probably see this as a purely financial crisis when it is the end of the WEST as it has been developed since the 15th century with the discovery of AMERICA. Everything through the age was a continuation, now the end

[radiospirit]

The system is fucking dead. Quit arguing with me about it.

[edingsteve1]

If the system is dead, it is dead in THE WEST; and that system didn't fall from the sky, it had its origin somewhere and if u educate yourself on that matter you will understand that what is happening now is the end of the greatest thievery in manking history. It was mend to occur and it is about time Westerners begin to truly WORK and BECOME REAL CAPITALISM instead of eternal CONSUMERS OF OTHERS EFFORTS AND SACRIFICES.

[radiospirit]

I am not talking about the asian economies, which actually have savings. I am talking about Africa mainly. What you say here makes perfect sense. The asian economies will greatly benefit now. I know all about Peter Schiff and his economic philosophies. Let me repeat, I am talking about Africa and perhaps parts of India. South America may suffer as well.

[edingsteve1]

the raw materials, oil, gold, precious metal, and others things of importance came from in order to support your economy and way of life! You have never wondered who finance the wars all over that continent, who arms the rebels and murder the few proud leaders who attempt to OPPOSE your DEMOCRATIC nation! You just don't know what you are talking about to summarize!

The west has been maintaining an effective form of COLONIALISM IN AFRICA that benefit them. Now that the west is weak..

[radiospirit]

They don't have enough food to support their populations in Africa. Even the poor in Egypt are dependant on the government for the bread that they eat.

[edingsteve1]

You seem to believe that the USA is the "white knight" in this world of terrorism and violence; the fact of the matter is that the USA has been for many years the backer of a lot of human rights crimes, dictatorships, militarism and to a some degree terrorism. The CIA is behind a lot of coup d etat all over the world and the American navy run the oceans of the world along with your military satelites. You better open your eyes cousin, you are very naive! What is the buget of the USA DEFENSE?

[edingsteve1]

You are probably looking at modern history in the short term while my view in much more related to the future. There has been humanitarian crisis in Africa for 400 years my friend; but hopefully, with economic crisis thumping the west, the African people will be able to finally attempt to get rid of their Western Backed dictators and criminals. And maybe a new generation of prouder and wealthier Africans my rise up. It will take time certainly. but I am hopefull.

[Photog60]

The first caller is another nutty Republican. Bush has been the biggest neocon (new conservative) since Milton Friedman.

The second caller talks about non taxable organizations and asks where does that money go? I agree, and this is especially true of religion. Just look at evangilists.

[freesk8]

Yay, Ron Paul!

[Siriusluv]

the man is a genius

too bad Amerika keeps selecting amoeba for POTUS-

just think , you could have had freedom, no fema camps, no wars, no IRS...but ...

[chunstiger]

Ron Paul 2012!!!!!!!!!!!

[chunstiger]

It's not a black or white thing. Besides Obama is white anyhow. He's related to Bush. If you show black people in Africa a photo of Obama they will tell you he's white.

[FlatThird]

This guy should run for PRESIDENT

[edingsteve1]

Correction: Should HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT.

[aliens4theloss]

i like ron paul but he need to understand his european heritage and the importance of that in his shaping of his views.

WHITE revolution is the only solution!!

[edingsteve1]

Shut the fuck up idiot! Isn't it YOUR WHITE people who got us into this shiet! George Bush isn't white? The rockefellers, Morgans and others. When you go to wallstreet, it doesn't exactly look like East LA or South Central. It is WHITE! So, shut the fuck up and go read a book. White revolution my ass. Fucking idiot, moron, asshole, fucker.

[stealthswimmer]

it's not a race issue

[aliens4theloss]

it is a race issue, as time will show you

[stealthswimmer]

The more time goes on, the more and more I see race being made into a bigger issue than it really is. People make it one because it's what gets them bent outta shape.

[aliens4theloss]

its not whites who did this but jews. rocekfellers are jewish, george bush is white however he is a jewish pupper. morgans are jews. every wallstreet bank is jewish owned.

you need to shut the fuck up and stop listening to alex jones, jones is to scared to touch the jewish question

[stealthswimmer]

That's simply idiotic.

As with any other race, there are people on different sides.

Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich August von Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and Milton Friedman were also jewish.

[aliens4theloss]

yes not all jews are bad,

rothbard even wrote an article defending david duke but there are very few

[stealthswimmer]

There are very few good jews? That's just ridiculous. That implies that you know every jew in the world and have then decided that there are only a few good ones, lol. Again, as with any race, there are many that are on different sides of the issues.

[edingsteve1]

Yooo, take it easy !! What do you mean by Jew? Rockefellers are not Jew nor are the Morgans. So calm yourself up a little bit. You have to criticize the institutions instead of criticizing the people. There are a lot of poor or middle class Jewish people all suffering and dealing with this crisis the same way we all do. The fed and the international bank benefit a lot of people outside of JEWRY! Maybe you are scared of attacking the system abd you prefer to pinpoint traditional scapegoats.

[sinitskyd]

My brother-in-law Willie Rothchild tole me if I call on that show and bash Ron Paul, I'd get a million federal reserve notes. Unfortunately, I went to the movies and saw Zeitgeist Addendum so I could not call in.

[PressForFreedom]

PressForFreedom!

BreakTheMatrix!

Support our new media and spred the message!

[hugolp]

This guy is unique. The US is so lucky to have a guy like him.

[engine2truck6]

The WORLD is so lucky!!!!!

[elbuggo]

I doesnt take many. Whats needed is some dedicated people. This is not a number game. So get involved please.

[AiresQX4]

It seems the majority of callers don't really know about Dr Paul too much.

Some of the callers were criticizing him for things he didn't support!

[phrek75]

It just shows how much people know about politics and proberly depend to much mainstream TV , which in my view is poor in vital infomation to the public, sometimes even misleading or not telling the truth.

People should learn to use the internet when it comes to politics, its a way better way to get educated..stay away from mainstream.

And now "they" want to regulate the internet...hmm makes you wonder why.

[tsmith2187]

If Ron Paul had gotten this much media coverage during the campaign, he might have won.

[sinitskyd]

what's wrong with Fiat money? Fiat is a nice car. I guess, if we have BMW money it would be better...

[innefitterosa]

or mb money :)

[drewd1987]

Ron Paul's the man!

[Balogm]

He's so right!
