Ron Paul Only Candidate Against World War III

Establishment GOP candidates pledged their fidelity to the foreign policy objectives of AIPAC as they strived to outdo each other in belligerent rhetoric aimed at Iran. Romney, Santorum and Gingrich promised to support an attack some analysts predict will occur in June.

“If Iran doesn’t get rid of nuclear facilities, we will tear them down ourselves,” said Rick Santorum, who has expressed strongly worded anti-Iran sentiment in the past. In January Santorum said he would not hesitate to launch an attack on Iran.

Attacking Iran over its unsubstantiated nuclear weapons program has remained at the forefront of his presidential campaign.

In November, appearing before a small crowd in rural New Hampshire, Santorum called for a “preemptive strike” following a less than conclusive IAEA report on Iran’s nuclear program.

“As I’ve sat and watched this play out on the world stage, I have seen a president who has been reticent,” the former Pennsylvania senator said from the AIPAC stage in the nation’s capitol while the other candidates remained on the campaign trial.

Mitt Romney delivered a satellite video speech to the convention.

Romney said he would end Obama’s “procrastination” on confronting Iran by imposing further draconian sanctions. “I will make sure Iran knows of the very real peril that awaits if it becomes nuclear,” he said.

“As president, I will be ready to engage in diplomacy. But I will be just as ready to engage our military might,” Romney said.

Newt Gingrich also addressed the convention via satellite link from his home state of Georgia. He criticized Clinton’s State Department for its policy on Iran and characterized U.S. intelligence as “timid.”

In February, American intelligence analysts said that there is no definitive evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear bomb. The CIA and more than a dozen other intelligence agencies said Iran halted attempts to build a nuclear weapon in 2003. Iran has been unable to enrich uranium to a level required for a nuclear weapon.

Despite the assessment by intelligence analysts, Gingrich told AIPAC he believes Iran has crossed a “red line” with its nuclear program and was “deepening their commitment to nuclear weapons while we talk.”

“I will provide all available intelligence to the government, ensure that they have the equipment necessary, and reassure them, that if a prime minister decides that he has to avoid the threat of a second Holocaust through pre-emptive measures, that I would require no advance notice,” he said.

Members of Congress argue that Iran will engage in genocide and a second Holocaust if they manage to produce a nuclear weapon.

Congress and the establishment media repeatedly cite a mistranslation of a speech delivered by Iranian president Ahmadinejad in 2008.

The remark is attributed to a deliberate Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) mistranslation.

MEMRI is an Israel-centric propaganda tool run by a former colonel in intelligence and specializes in dredging up obscure antisemitic remarks made by Arab and Muslim critics of the Jewish state.

The AIPAC speeches by Romney, Santorum and Gingrich reveal that the number one political issue this election season is not the economy or the welfare of the American people, but the interests of fanatical Likudnik warmongers in Israel who are determined to attack Iran and initiate not only a conflagration in the Middle East, but a Third World War.

Mitt Romney Kin Know Ron Paul Only True Choice

No less than six relatives of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney have joined the campaign trail in the race for the GOP nomination, but they’re not supporting the former Massachusetts governor, they’re campaigning for Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

Three of Romney’s relatives will even speak at Idaho caucus sites, declaring their support for Paul in a story that is sure to create a buzz around Paul’s campaign as he looks to pick up his first caucus win.

The Paul campaign issued a press release introducing five Romney relatives, then issued another release shortly afterwards noting a sixth.

Travis Romney, Troy Romney and Chad Romney, all cousins of Mitt Romney, will speak before Ron Paul crowds in Idaho today. Ty Romney and Jared Romney, whose grandfathers are cousins of former Michigan Governor George Romney, the father of Mitt Romney, have also declared their support for Paul.

“I don’t dislike Mitt at all,” Chad Romney (pictured above) said. “He seems like a nice guy. He just doesn’t understand the constitution like Ron Paul.”

“It’s Ron Paul or bust,” Chad Romney added, “Now, a lot of people will ask me if I’m related,” he said. “And I always say: ‘Yes, I’m related, but I vote for Ron Paul.’ ”

When asked who he would vote for if the ticket turns out to be Romney vs Obama, Chad Romney said “I don’t know if I’d vote for either one of them. I’d just write Ron Paul in there.”

“I support Ron Paul because he defends the Constitution, loves America and understands what it means to be an American, including the right to live your life any way you want as long as you respect others,” said Travis Romney, a second cousin once removed from the former Massachusetts governor.

Ty Romney, an attorney in Montana added, “Ron Paul is honest. It’s time to take a stand for honesty. It doesn’t matter whether the truth is popular or not, I know that Ron Paul will always maintain a true principle and I endorse that degree of integrity.”

Paul’s campaign suggests that the endorsements show that the Congressman can win Mormon voters, noting that the Romneys are now members of the “Latter-day Saints for Ron Paul” nationwide coalition.

Paul previously received support from Rick Santorum’s nephew John Garver, who described his own uncle as a “big government”, “status quo” politician, while urging Americans to vote for Ron Paul.

Ron Paul Victim Of More Mainstream Media Untruths

WHITE HOUSE CONTROLLED MEDIA

Once again the corporate media has pounced on any opportunity it can to smear Congressman Ron Paul as he heads into perhaps the most important week of his presidential campaign thus far.

Appearing on CNN Sunday, Paul was asked his opinion on FEMA’s management of the recent aftermath of the destructive tornados in the Midwestern states.

Paul explained that he was not an advocate of the federal government having authority and responsibility over such situations, that he does not support the notion of federal money, and that the states should be allowed to take care of their own.

Of course, being the attack dog hacks that they are, corporate media minions immediately poured forth with headlines such as “Ron Paul: Victims of Midwestern tornado outbreak should not get federal aid” and “Ron Paul: No Federal Financial Aid For Tornado Victims”.

National Journal reporter John Aloysius Farrell even suggested that in saying victims should not get aid, Paul had “stood by his libertarian beliefs”, dredging up the endlessly repeated bogus cliche that part of the Libertarian stance is that everyone must fend for themselves in a world of survival of the fittest.

Any cursory examination of Paul’s comments proves that what he said has been totally taken out of context and spun by the media to generate negative opinion.

What Paul actually said was that the federal government and FEMA “just get in the way” when such disasters happen, adding that the agency hinders local law enforcement, voluntary groups and state organization.

“To say that any accident that happens in the country, send in FEMA, send in the money, the government has all this money, it’s totally out of control and it’s not efficient,” Paul also explained.

“There is no such thing as federal money,” Paul said. “Federal money is just what they steal from the states and steal from you and me.”

“To say you don’t support federal money doesn’t mean you don’t care about people, because FEMA is inefficient,” the Congressman explained.

Ron Paul Sees USA Descent Into Facism

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says the US is “slipping into a fascist system” dominated by big government and big businesses.

The Texas congressman held a fiery rally across the street from a World War I Memorial, upstaging simultaneous Republican Party banquets being held on both sides of the nearby Missouri and Kansas line.

Paul said the US got off track during the era of president Woodrow Wilson, who led the nation through World War I and unsuccessfully advocated for the nation’s involvement in a forerunner of the United Nations.

Although campaign aides were aware, Paul told reporters after his speech that he did not know his rally was coinciding with long-established Republican Party events.

Ron Paul Only True Presidential Candidate

United States presidential contender Ron Paul has warned that his country is slipping into a twenty-first century fascist system with a broke government ruled by big business. RT asked some experts whether they agree.

­Speaking to supporters in Kansas City, the Republican candidate said Americans’ individual liberties were being stripped away.

And, as Houston-based author Anis Shivani says, Paul is “the only candidate on the Republican side who is talking about the loss of civil liberties, pending illegal wars, making the connection between imperialism and the loss of rights at home.”
It now looks like Ron Paul could have won the Maine caucus, and Shivani believes he could have more support with the American public but it seems that the media won’t allow it to happen:

“I think he does have hardcore support – maybe it could be 15 to 20 per cent of people on the conservative side.

His support could be wider, but the media will never treat a candidate like him with seriousness, they will just dismiss him as a fringe candidate because of, for example, his very firm stance on Iran, he is saying ‘Let’s not get into another war on Iran, we just can’t afford it, and every time we do this, it makes governance at home more difficult.’

So the media will say he is just not interested in national security and dismiss him.”

­And radio host and author Stephen Lendman also agrees that current US policies are evidence that the country has indeed developed a fascist system, going on to disagree slightly: “The only thing I disagree with Ron Paul it is that is not slipping into it – it’s deep into it.”

Noting that while he is not a Ron Paul supporter, Lendman supports his opposition to imperial wars, echoing Paul in his criticism of the Federal Reserve Bank:

“He has gone after the Federal Reserve for years – it’s a repressive group, privately owned and operated, it isn’t federal and it does not have reserves, as Ron Paul explains.

It’s owned by the major bankers, maybe the Wall Street ones, and they use money power to create more of it at the public’s expense.”

Ron Paul Downplays Donald Trump Endorsement

Ron Paul claimed he didn’t get the endorsement of Donald Trump because he was the only Republican presidential “candidate that didn’t kiss his ring.”

Paul hit at his GOP rivals for meeting with the billionaire real estate mogul in 2011, the State Column reports.

Mitt Romney, who met with Trump but denied media access to the encounter, received Trump’s endorsement just days ahead of the 2012 Nevada Caucuses.

In an interview with Fox 13 News, Paul downplayed the value of Trump’s endorsement, saying he “can’t imagine why anybody talks about him.”
