Sorry about posting another really long video - this one 45 minutes or so. It is also 34 years old and it features an interview with Ron Paul. You see he has been saying the same thing in all of that time and looking back you can see that he was already aware of the direction the country was going.

Finally things seem to be coming to a head. He was able to get legislation through to audit the Fed. What the audit has shown, if you heard about it at all, is that the system is rotten. Now Paul has a bill working its way through the system that could end the Fed. Could it be he will see the day when his nemesis is dead? Probably not - it's a lot of power to lose and the owners won't give it up easily.

 
I can't edit titles. I can deleted the post and you can re-post.

Ron Paul does his best work in Congress.
good for him
 
I find it amazing how long Ron Paul has been consistent in his views and how long he has been calling out the encroachment of tyranny. I think that I only really found out about him in 2007 in the lead up to the 2008 Presidential race, and while I didn't agree with many of his positions against the right of people to use governments to coordinate and provide for their own welfare, a lot of what he said then, for me, was right on the money.

When "critics" started to lambaste him as "insane" and "loony" without ever addressing what he was saying it was, to me, so transparently a smear campaign I thought that people would see through it but, of course, I was wrong. When influential people say that something is "crazy" then the average person doesn't feel the need to go judge for themselves - they are far more happy to join in the ridicule and take pride in the fact that they have no familiarity with the source material. Pastors that say Harry Potter is evil, Creationists that yell that evolution is ridiculous, wide eyed politicians caught in the spot light mumbling that the accusation is a silly "conspiracy theory".

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. There were things I used to laugh at too. The Emperor has no clothes but most people would rather not look. The little boy who blurts it out is usually seen as a trouble maker and a periah.
