Ron Paul did mention manipulated statistics in his rant at Bernake, twice. But they zoomed past rather quickly as he tried to make many relevant points in the few seconds they allow him.

If we elect Ron Paul president in 2008, perhaps the fed can go the way of the dodo bird, and we can stop wasting time listening to an endless stream of government propoganda ministers and scam artists.

It’s too late gang. To quote the man,”we’re screwed”. Not to say some are’nt willing to keep up the fight,but most are brain dead lemmings wanting to be spoon fed garbage by government and the media. “Hey! what are the scores, and when”s the next game?

If promulgating the Truth is construed to be strange, out-of-touch with reality, and the stuff of conspircacy theorists, so be it. Truth, no matter how seemingly far-fetched it may seem to the truly, massively duped, should be heralded from the roof-tops of the highest places in our Gov’t-controlled mass media and their willing accomplises in the press. If pundits for Truth are criticized (as Ron Paul most certainly is) and continually maligned by the neo-con controllers and their duped minions, as “whacked-out” conspiracy mongers, then, perhaps, our message of Truth is beginning to resonate. Remember the rats fleeing the sinking Titanic? What did they realize? Their perception of reality (their game) was suddenly radically at risk and, now, it was time to seek higher ground. We can continue to allow the insiders to persuade us to keep polishing their brass meanwhile, the so-called “whacked-out conspiracy theorists (Ron Paul and his ilk ‘may their tribe increase’) may have the only life ring we can grab if this country will ever return to fiscal responsibility, rugged Americanism / indedpendence, and with God’s help, a better world! The Neo-Keynseian (deficit-spending / printing-press money) econometric sewer model will yield to common sense (Austrian economics) but not, first, without tremendous financial chaos. Yes, we are in a major recession, right now, and some of us have seen it coming for years. The “nuclear storm” is now foreign countries divesting themselves of US dollar-denominated assets. Rumors of China considering this strategy is only the tip of a very large world-wide threat to America’s dollar fiasco. Buy gold or polish brass.

Hello, Dave, and hope you are well. I hope you don’t mind me putting in a blatant plug (at least I’m honest) here for my new website. It’s for a good cause, after all! BTW, if you heard Dr. Paul vs. Bernanke yesterday, he did mention something like “no one believes the CPI”. Anyway, readers from MN especially, here it is:

When I lived in Europe during 1980′s , I noticed that there were not any real middle class folks there, just the have’s + the have-nots. The middle class is pretty much an American pheonomenom. The have’s really don’t want a strong middle class ,as it decreases their power. Now the middle class is pretty much history , with the tax cuts largely for the wealthy who have prospered under GW Bush.God help the poor dumb americans who voted for him! Linda

I doubt it would work. People would frame Paul as a conspiracy theorist and end up linking him with all sorts of whackos.

These are some of the issues we’re wanting to raise awareness of with the next BIG fundraising event, Tea Party 2007! Unlike the original Boston Tea Party, this isn’t about a normal tax, inflation is a hidden tax. People are noticing that their reality doesn’t match what the government is telling them. Even the threat of Terrorism isn’t enough of a distraction anymore.

2. Then there are the uninformed consumers who act as shrills themselves, touting the government numbers as arguments in forums, claiming that there are only a small group of malcontented media people and consumers that are ruining things for everyone by criticizing the government numbers. You can point them to sites and articles that debunk the numbers but they refuse to pay attention.

Seems like we need a counterpoint organization with good credibility to sift through and vet all government numbers. Maybe something like the GAO?
The problem I see is the devaluing of the human being as a source of usefulness. Everyone turns to some kind of ‘system’ or money manipulation (Clift and her ‘class’ warfare distraction, Obama’s “make the rich take care of the poor”).
In reality, the problem is that everyone wants something for nothing. They want a cushy job with lots of money after cushy schools and they want a System of systems to tell them how to do that.
Fortunately, there is a solution, and Nature is going to bring it. It’s called “Descent” or “Collapse” or simply, “Reality”, and it hits right where it needs to hit: smack in the middle of arrogance and stupidity.
We’re all at fault, we all need to make changes. UNfortunately, we all aren’t going to survive them.
Ron Paul is just another American Libertarian, waving a flag, complaining about the world, and spewing out rhetoric about ‘freedom’ and ‘free choice’ and “big government is bad”, but he’s not going to put much more reality into place than anyone else. Only failure is going to do that. We might as well not have an election at all until the Chinese decide what they want to do with our money. Why waste those billions of dollars on advertising something that nobody needs? Just pick any poor slob off the street and say “You’re going to be the Descent President.” Just make sure it isn’t one of those dumb Bushes who will think you said “Decent”. (on second thought, that might work…Jeb…hey Jebbby!)
