Ron Paul: U.S. in “Great Danger” of Staged Terror
July 14th, 2007Via: Infowars:
Presidential candidate Ron Paul says the U.S. is in “great danger” of a staged terror attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation while also warning that a major collapse of the American economy is on the horizon and could be precipitated by the bombing of Iran and the closure of the Persian Gulf.
Speaking to The Alex Jones Show, the Texas Congressman was asked his opinion on Cindy Sheehan’s recent comments that the U.S. is in danger of a staged terror attack or a Gulf of Tonkin style provocation that will validate the Neo-Con agenda and lead to the implementation of the infrastructure of martial law that Bush recently signed into law via executive order, as well as public pronouncements from prominent officials that the West needs terrorism to save a doomed foreign policy.
“I think we’re in great danger of it,” responded the Congressman, “We’re in danger in many ways, the attack on our civil liberties here at home, the foreign policy that’s in shambles and our obligations overseas and commitment which endangers our troops and our national defense.”
“Every day we’re in worse shape and right now there’s an orchestrated effort to blame the Iranians for everything that’s gone wrong in Iraq and we’re quite concerned that the attack will be on Iran and that will jeopardize so many more of our troops, so I would say that we’re in much greater danger than we even were four or five years ago,” asserted Paul.
The presidential candidate expressed his despair that the situation in Iraq will not change until there is a total collapse of the American economy.
“There’s no way we can afford what we’re doing, whether it’s domestic spending or the international spending and very few people talk about the real cost of this economically speaking….this is unsustainable and it will be a threat to our dollar,” said Paul, adding that the onset of the meltdown could be sparked by the bombing of Iran and the closure of the Persian Gulf.
The Congressman added that the collapse was in its early stages with the major indication being a reduction in the living standard of middle class Americans but that “one single major world event” could change things overnight and precipitate a major downturn.
I can’t vote for him, since he is part of the two party corruption, but he makes a lot of sense.
This isn’t the first time Dr. Paul has said something along these lines… in this vid from last year (a day after the escalation was announced?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d8MIENVtKw he mentions the possibility of a contrived Gulf of Tonkin like incident.
He’s got my vote.
So how long before they get rid of him?
In some ways they have gotten rid of him, he gets significantly less commercial news air time than the other candidates. The only reason he gets any at all is because of the grass roots internet hype around him. Notice that these statements weren’t from any of the commercial news services.
Frankly, I agree with Ron Paul. With the poll numbers for both Congress and the Administration down to record lows, the “deciders” in both bodies are at the point of desperation. They need something dramatic to shock the American people and take the focus off their own failures. Another contrived 9/11 or Pearl Harbor would be just what the doctor ordered.
“In some ways they have gotten rid of him, he gets significantly less commercial news air time than the other candidates. The only reason he gets any at all is because of the grass roots internet hype around him.”… d says.
And that tells everyone all they need to know about the mainstream media which is supporting the war agenda. A cross they have to bear and which will be remembered?
Interesting, Aaron…yes, I think THEY will “need” to get rid of him should he begin to win primaries (especially if he wins Texas, and I really think he is capable of it)…and then we will see if that Fulford guy (Chinese Secret Society Threatens Illuminati) is for real. And, yes, I’m voting for him too.
Paul simply makes too much sense to the common man so thats reason enough for media propaganda outlets to marginalize him. Watch for that magical “event” to occur and all the war drums beating in rhythm, from both sides of the aisle, will drown out any spark of sanity.
