Ron Paul's main reason for joining congress was because of the monetary changes in 1971. He had learned about monetary policy from past figures such as Frederik Hayek and Ludwig Von Mises who are under the Austrian theory of economics. Most people don't even know that we have been under the economic theory of John Maynard Keynes for the last 80 years. This is a result of a public education that indoctrinates people to be servants to the state.

You've said we have a policy of destabilization and you can't even give me an example.

The coup in Guatemala in 1954 would be an example, not that one isolated example would define the entirety of US foreign policy.

Or the entire middle east, Central America, South America...



All of the Middle East shat stems from two things: Our thirst for oil and our support for Israel.

As for the rest, most of that was from Macarthyism and the fear that Communism would engulf the Western Hemisphere. It's hardly relevant in 2011.

Those are actually intermediate items in contrast to the the grand strategy. But anything that isn't seriously divergent is more or less easily folded in to our geo-political maneuvering.

It is useless to argue foreign policy strategy with these clowns. They all pretend they would be better managers of the world when in fact they don't know anything about the culture, language, history or real life situations of these other countries. That is why non-interventionism is the best policy.

Actually I think most of us realize that what happens in other countries affects the US no matter how much we want to pretend otherwise.

Happens maybe, being coerced at our discretion is a big hell no imo...


Hell all Paul really wants is for the authority to FUCK WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY to go through Congress like it should.


Although on the one hand I'm happy that you all are trying to find out what Dr. Paul is all about you're so woefully misinformed that it makes me not give two shits what you think.

Not really Ashmaele. But keep pretending we are the center of the universe and that we need to bomb them all into servitude or sanction them and end up with high gas prices that are going to cripple our economy even more.

You guys are REALLLLLY reading into this publication thing, don't you? His publication went along for years (of which there were numerous authors in the publications) and there are tons of them out there yet like 2 or 3 that popped up, and he didn't even write himself, is the best people can roll with

That's kind of pathetic. I mean if you are going to try to attack someone's character talk about something that actually matters. This is as bad as that Rev. White crap that Obama went through. All through nothing but association

I am happy this is the worst people have ever found about him

I disagree. I wasn't a supporter of Obama until he was elected but I defended him against the Rev Wright attacks on this board. Its not guilt by association when its your paper with your name on it.
