Ron Paul gets even nuttier...
Up until now, Ron Paul has pretty much confined his conspiracy theories to the NAFTA nonsense. But in a interview in the wake of Obama's election, Paul seems to be totally buying in the "Vast Global Conspriacy" Theory.
http://www.nationalexpositor.com/News/1474.html Wow.Just wow. I think now we now why Paul did not distance himself from the conspiracy kooks who filled his campaign: He Is One. |

NWO would be imposible. One world government with one religion? No way. NWO idea is insane. It just doesn"t make any sense.

Just riduculous. Global government? Is Ron Paul talking about a place like North Korea?

You folks have more patience than I do. This is as far as I read in that article:

Colin Powell is a liar and clown but hardly a NWO guy. Biden is a loudmouth. Everybody who is calling Zbigniew Brzezinski a russian hater might want to look what their russian heroes did to Afghanistan during 1979-1989. 1 million dead afghans and 6 million displaced afghans. That is what Russia did to Afghanistan on 1979-1989. And they are still doing that to Chechnya with their puppet Kadyrov.

Fortunately for Paul he's still safe. He's a congressman and as a rule about congressmen no one knows who their damn congressman is. Right now there's a guy sitting in Texas' 14th district thinking "Whew, I'm glad Ron Paul doesn't represent me!"

As is often the case, you clear away the nuttiness and you get a grain of truth:

The United Nations tried, but could not stop Bosnia and Croatia from attacking one another in 1993.
The United Nations tried, but could not stop NATO from bombing Bosnia in 1995. The United Nations tried, but could not stop the United States from bombing Iraq in 1998. The United Nations tried, but could not stop NATO from attacking Serbia in 1999. The United Nations tried, but could not stop the United States from invading Afghanistan in 2001, and Iraq in 2003. The United Nations tried, but could not stop Russia from invading Georgia in 2008. The United Nations has tried, but has been functionally unable to end the Israeli-Palestine conflict. The United Nations has tried, but has been functionally unable to end civil war in the Congo region. The United Nations has tried, but has been functionally unable to end North Korea's nuclear weapons program. I cannot decide what is more pathetic: the performance history of the United Nations, or the claim that the United Nations is supposed to be some all-powerful world government. |

dudalb, you clearly see the world as the media tells you. You clearly don't think for yourself. And you clearly are ignorant about a lot of issues. What can you offer the world that the other drones can't?

[truther mode] Obviously they commit a lot of errors so it won't be so obvious that they're all-powerful. Much the same way that the U.S. gubmint gives us rights and freedom so that we won't notice that we don't have any rights or freedom...or something like that. [/truther mode] Steve S. |

His supporters aside, I am now convinced that Ron Paul, whatever his beliefs, is truly no different from any other politician. If he truly believes that the US elections are rigged, that the outcome is pre-determined by "them", and that the losing candidates are all, in fact, "back-up" candidates placed by the same "them" in case "their" main candidate loses (even though that can't happen, because "they" control the election), this leaves the question:
Why did Ron Paul bother running at all? Why did Ron Paul take - nay, ALLOW his supporters to give tens of MILLIONS of dollars to him, if he knew he could not possibly win? What is he doing with all his campaign money now, I wonder? I'm sorry, but that's all money that his followers could have spent on more important things, like food, medicine, gasoline, or guns and ammunition to repel the reptilian shapeshifting kitten-eating rulers of the Earth when they try to take over the US even though they already completely control it. |

There will be a one world government eventually. It's not a conspiracy, it's simply a natural political development.
All the continental unions, the EU, African Union, Asian Union, North American Union ( when it arrives ), South American Union, etc will eventually merge into a World Union. |

Marxism was largely predicated on the notion of historical inevitability. Didn't quite work out that way, but the lesson has been lost on many spectators. There are considerably forces pushing for political autonomy for various groups, even within currently politically unified states. One ignores such forces at their peril. Nothing about their demise is inevitable, let alone likely.

Such cluelessness. The number of Afghan refugees living outside the country decreased after the US invasion, because many people were able to return home after the Taliban were kicked out. That is considerably different. And while there has been a slow exodus of Iraqi sunnis, you will search in vain for refugee camps of the sort that the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan produced.
Next time reality calls, try picking up the phone. |

What is NWO btw? There's no definite meaning to the NWO thing.. old Bush spoke about it or even Sarkozy spoke about it ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkpHmjgg7xU )
Peace peace peace.. it's all they want but cannot bring us.. I understand NWO as a world with more "advanced politics" with something new and bigger that UN or EU thing and it will consume billions and billions of more money in order to fail even more miserably.. NWO in the heads of the utopistic politicians is just some "global governance" in order to secure "this and that" a.k.a sustainable developement... And who got the "global governance award" of 1999? Walter Cronkite Even Michael Douglas is a utopistic world governance guy.. proof? It's 17 minutes long but it's clear what is it all about since the first few mins.. a must watch!http://video.google.com/videosearch?...ry%20asi&emb=0 So global governance ideas and wishes are true :P But not in the Alex Jones way

I always figured that Ron Paul's getting into bed with Chuck Baldwin, a man that essentially advocates the creation of an American Theocracy, would end his credibility as to skeptics.
It also puts the lie to the claim that he is in fact a libertarian rather than what he really is, a state's rights authoritarian. He opposes federal power, but all bets are off when it comes to the state and local level. He endorsed a radical social conservative who believes all law is and should be based in the word of God... |
