Ron Paul Presser Momentum

Written by Dixie Flatline

Ron Paul held a press conference, urging his supporters to vote 3rd party. The candidates, including Bob Barr, who was not present and continues to squander opportunities, all agreed to a 4 point plan detailed here.

Basically, Foreign policy, privacy, national debt and the Federal Reserve. The 4th is the most important point.

Returning recently to the Ron Paul Forums, DailyPaul and Campaign for Liberty sites, I’ve been so disappointed that people were still very focused on electoral politics, and not on the monetary and economic liberty issues. Electoral politics are useless, as long as the system of corruption and theft is not directly attacked, and attacked primarily through the illegal, immoral and unconstitutional Federal Reserve system.

The great thing about this press conference, is that left candidates like McKinney and Nader will carry the FED message back to their supporters, who are probably oblivious to the way that institution works, or how it enables the warfare and corporatist state, while robbing from those dependent on the welfare state, keeping them in a permanent state of poverty and servitude.

This is a huge opportunity, and I hope that the CFL and the individual candidates capitalize on that opportunity to generate a legitimate movement, not just in America, but worldwide, to get rid of inflationary fiat money and central banking.

Any RPers who are reading this, please, please, please I plead of you, it is necessary that you learn how the monetary system works, and precisely why sound, free market money is a must if there is ever going to be a smaller state, and an end to the usurpations of fascist big government.

I will post a follow up with some resources to get people started, in the meanwhile Tom Woods at the CFL seems to be the most knowledgeable person there about the inner workings and history of the Federal Reserve system. Lean on him for knowledge, he’s a great resource to have in the struggle for liberty.

Also, Bob Barr not attending does irritate me. He’s intentionally avoided confronting the monetary system which is why I feel that he is not gaining traction and people are not buying into his campaign.

If Bob wants people to trust him, he will have to take risks, speak truth to power, and attack the state at it’s central nexus. Libertarians are not stupid, and his campaign generates next to zero excitement, because he’s boring, dour and cowardly in his approach.

Bob, you screwed up by missing this press conference. You can make it up by standing up to the FED starting today.

    If Barr want’s RP’s supporters to vote for him, he can’t pull this kind of stunt, not even telling people he wasn’t going to show up. Excuse my language, but what a jacka**. He lost my vote for certain, not that he had it in the first place. There are many RP supporters leaning his way, and it seems to me like he’s giving them all the middle finger!

    Look at who’s got much to lose with Barr votes…McCain.
    McCain’s campaign, actually it was the Phil Gramm who just yesterday approched Ron Paul saying he needed to endorse McCain..of course Ron Paul rejected the request.

    Who’s to say that ole Phill didn’t contact Barr who’s the only one on most of the state ballots, with an offer he could not refuse, literally.?

    We all know how underhanded this McBush bunch is..don’t we?

    How about how the RP delegates were treated at the RNC? Goes to show.
