Ron Paul for President, Rand Paul for President


6 minutes

Due to unethical methods by the GOP and possibly also by the Democrats, Ron Paul was forced to drop out of the Presential race last year. The GOP did not like his message and they did NOT like the fact that the people were flocking to Ron's campaign in much higher numbers than were flocking to the GOP message.

This video is a basic introduction to Ron Paul with clips of his speeches and interviews during the presdiential camplaign last year.

The good news is that Ron Paul's son Rand Paul has recently (in 2009) stated that he would like also to run for president in the next campaign of 2011-2012.

Below is a video of Rand Paul, son of presidential candidate Ron Paul, being interviewed before the CNN debate in 2007.

CNBC Anchors Upset at Ron Paul for speaking the truth.

Ron Paul opening's statement before Ben Bernanke testimony before House Financial Services Committee today.

At the end of this clip (2.23) the CNBC anchors were not happy that Ron had the initial Republican statement. These CNBC shills for the Fed, the Treasury, and Wall Street are spitting mad that the truth was by mistake broadcast by CNBC.

How much is this really costing?

Ron Paul mentioned that these bailouts are actually
NATIONALIZATION [sometimes called SOCIALISATION].
I think his words played a large part in what happened next.

Emergency U.S. Senate talks on US$14-billion auto aid deal collapse
Fri Dec 12, 2008

WASHINGTON - A bailout-weary Congress killed a US$14 billion package to aid struggling U.S. automakers Thursday night after a partisan dispute over union wage cuts derailed a last-ditch effort to revive the emergency aid before year's end.

Republicans, breaking sharply with President George W. Bush as his term draws to a close, refused to back federal aid for Detroit's beleaguered Big Three without a guarantee that the United Auto Workers would agree by the end of next year to wage cuts to bring their pay into line with Japanese carmakers. The UAW refused to do so before its current contract with the automakers expires in 2011.

The breakdown left the fate of the auto industry - and the 3 million jobs it touches - in limbo at a time of growing economic turmoil. General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have said they could be weeks from collapse. Ford Motor Co. says it does not need federal help now, but its survival is far from certain.

Democratic leaders called on Bush to immediately tap the US$700 billion Wall Street bailout fund for emergency aid to the auto industry, whose fate - along with that of the roughly 3 million jobs it touches - was in limbo.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the bill's collapse "a loss for the country," adding: "I dread looking at Wall Street tomorrow. It's not going to be a pleasant sight."

GM said in a statement it was "deeply disappointed" that the bipartisan agreement faltered. "We will assess all of our options to continue our restructuring and to obtain the means to weather the current economic crisis," the company said.

There were also reports Friday that the company had hired experts to explore the bankruptcy protection option.

Chrysler said late Thursday that it "will continue to pursue a workable solution to help ensure the future viability of the company."

The White House said it was evaluating its options in light of the breakdown on Capitol Hill.

"It's disappointing that Congress failed to act tonight," Deputy Press Secretary Tony Fratto said in a statement. "We think the legislation we negotiated provided an opportunity to use funds already appropriated for automakers and presented the best chance to avoid a disorderly bankruptcy while ensuring taxpayer funds only go to firms whose stakeholders were prepared to make difficult decisions to become viable."

That bill - the product of a hard-fought negotiation between congressional Democrats and the Bush White House - was virtually dead on arrival in the Senate, where Republicans said it was too weak in its demands on the car companies and contained unacceptable environmental mandates for the Big Three.

Thursday's implosion followed yet another set of marathon negotiations at the Capitol - this time involving labour, the auto industry and lawmakers. The group came close to agreement, but it stalled over the UAW's refusal to agree to the wage concessions.

"We were about three words away from a deal," said Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the GOP's point man in the negotiations, referring to any date in 2009 on which the UAW would accept wage cuts.

The Senate rejected the bailout 52-35 on a procedural vote - well short of the 60 required - after the talks fell apart. Just 10 Republicans joined 40 Democrats and two independents in backing it. Three Democrats sided with 31 Republicans in opposition. Reid also voted "no" for procedural reasons.

Congress is not scheduled to return for legislative work until early January.

Some Senate Democrats joined Republicans in turning against the House-passed bill - despite increasingly urgent expressions of support from the White House and President-elect Barack Obama for quick action to spare the economy the added pain of a potential automaker collapse.

"In the midst of already deep and troubling economic times, we are about to add to that by walking away," said Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., the Banking Committee chairman who led negotiations on the package.

Alan Reuther, the UAW's legislative director, declined comment to reporters as he left a meeting room during the negotiations. Messages were left with Reuther and UAW spokesman Roger Kerson.

The stunning disintegration was eerily reminiscent of the defeat of the US$700 billion Wall Street bailout in the House, which sent the Dow tumbling and lawmakers back to the drawing board to draft a new agreement to rescue financial institutions and halt a broader economic meltdown. That measure ultimately passed and was signed by Bush.

It wasn't immediately clear, however, how the auto aid measure might be resurrected, with Congress now set to depart for the year.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called Senate Republicans' refusal to support the White House-negotiated bill irresponsible and urged the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve to provide short-term relief for the automakers. "That is the only viable option available at this time," she said.

Congressional Republicans have been in open revolt against Bush over the auto bailout. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky joined other GOP lawmakers Thursday in announcing his opposition to the White House-backed bill, which passed the House on Wednesday. He and other Republicans insisted that the carmakers restructure their debt and bring wages and benefits in line with those paid by Toyota, Honda and Nissan in the United States.

Hourly wages for UAW workers at GM factories are about equal to those paid by Toyota Motor Corp. at its older U.S. factories, according to the companies. GM says the average UAW labourer makes US$29.78 per hour, while Toyota says it pays about US$30 per hour. But the unionized factories have far higher benefit costs.

GM says its total hourly labour costs are now US$69, including wages, pensions and health care for active workers, plus the pension and health care costs of more than 432,000 retirees and spouses. Toyota says its total costs are around US$48. The Japanese automaker has far fewer retirees and its pension and health care benefits are not as rich as those paid to UAW workers.

Republicans also bitterly opposed tougher environmental rules carmakers would have to meet as part of the House-passed version of the rescue package, and the Senate dropped them from its plan.

The House-passed bill would have created a Bush-appointed overseer to dole out the money. At the same time, carmakers would have been compelled to return the aid if the "car czar" decided the carmakers hadn't done enough to restructure by spring.

The House approved its plan late Wednesday on a vote of 237-170.

Ron Paul says he thinks the Govt SHOULD do.


4 minutes CNN

Source & Transcript

The problem with debt is that every single dollar that goes into circulation has a debt (interest) attached to it, and therefore we can never be out of debt. The federal reserve makes NEW currency (money) and that goes out to pay the debt - but those new dollars also have debt (interest) attached to them, so the debt can never be paid back. This is why the USA's debts have kept going up and up instead of going down. (see the new world order video below)

If the federal reserve decides to stop making new money and call in the old debts, then we WILL SEE another depression.


WRH
The FDIC proposal is to raise the maximum limit for insured deposits from $100,000 to $250,000.

Now class, raise your hands if you actually HAVE $100,000 or more in a savings account right now. Anyone? Anyone? Buhler? Buhler?

Well, it seems to me that the vast majority of Americans are going to give a big ho-hum to the FDIC limits issue, because the vast majority of Americans just don't have that kind of money sitting in a savings account!

And the fact that they are trying to resell the bailout with this proves that the so-rich-they-can't-remember-how-many-homes-they-own politicians are totally out of touch with what real Main Street Americans are having to deal with.

Another reason to dump all incumbents in November (or when they are next up for re-election)

Ron Paul asks Bernanke some tough questions


7 minutes

This is a brief clip from the Economic Committee meeting this week, where Ron Paul is asking the following questions.
Why congress feels that it should do this $700 bail out plan?
Where does Congress get its authority to do this?
Why are they price fixing?
Does Congress really want to create another depression?

There is a $700 bailout plane to bail out the banks. Where the government buys up old debts so that the banks and the financial institutions do not take a loss.

BUT where does the money come from to buy all these old debts?
And what happens to all the old debts? Who pays these debts off?

The answer please.....
YOU - THE TAXPAYERS

You will pay for these debts by paying higher taxes to your government

Ron Paul on the coming Economic Collapse


5 minutes


5 minutes


5 days ago on Monday 15th, September 2008, two financial companies on Wall Street went belly up. (Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch). The stock market lost millions in just one day and there was a huge drop in the Dow Jones and the Nasdaq.

Ron Paul knows what he is talking about. He has served 10 terms in Congress for the Texas. Its quite probable that his part of Texas was damaged in Hurricane Ike last week. He is also a Constitutionalist. This means that if it's not in the Constitution, then you cannot do it. It has to be covered by the Constitution to be legal.

And yes, you may have heard that he is an obstetrics doctor by trade, yes he is. BUT that has not prevented him from learning everything he can about the US monetary system. Ron Paul was talking about all this (how the economy needed to fixed immeidately or it would collapse) last year when he was running for president. Last year noone wanted to listen to him. Only now that the system is going crazy and on the verge of collapsing, do the media start asking him for more details about what it going to happen.

McCain Attempts To Win Backing Of Ron Paul


4 minutes

SOURCE

It looks like McCain MAY have been trying to woo Dr Ron Paul as a possible VP if Sarah Palin becomes too unfeasible for the party. McCain asked Ron Paul to say a few nice things about him and his campaign. In return Paul asked for some time on the floor. McCain's staff agreed that Ron Paul was allowed on the floor, but only under a lot of restrictions.

Dr Ron Paul is a long standing member of the Republican party. He has been in the congress for around 30 years. He certainly has more experience than both McCain and Sarah Palin. The ONLY reason he is being blocked by the republican party is becaue he strongly oppsoses the Iraq war, the Afghanistan war and the future Iran war. He strongly opposes all of the current Administration's foreign and monetary policy.

This video is a short interview done on CNN this morning at Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Sept 2nd)

Ron Paul Update February 11 2008

Ron Paul WILL go the Distance - Update.
Even Before Super Tuesday, a rumour started spreading that Ron Paul was dropping out of the race. On Super Tuesday, it is known that some polling stations even ILLEGALLY crossed his name OFF the ballot paper. He is NOT dropping out. He does have a local district Congressional race in Texas to campaign for, in order to stay in Congress. That election is on March 4th, 2008. After that date, he can go back to concentrating on the Presidential race. (14.5 minutes).



Congressman Ron Paul is also calling on his supporters to organize a march on Washington DC. He admitts that such a move would be "risky" but impossible for the media to ignore and could have a big impact on the eve of the Republican convention.

March on Washington DC BEFORE the Republican Convention
