“Rep. Ron Paul, (R-Texas), discusses whether the government is needed in recovery efforts after big storms.”
“It is from this massive, 500 acre base run by the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), that virtually all the non-Afghan war drones are launched. It is the center of the US drone war against al-Qaeda (except for those al-Qaeda elements in Libya and Syria with which the US administration is allied — think of those as Eastasia). Appropriately, the base, called Camp Lemonnier, is located on grounds used earlier by the French Foreign Legion — the non-French arm of the French military used to keep the French colonial empire in line. In Lemonnier we see both under one roof cash to those who do what they are told and drones for those who do not.”

“As they say, it is always darkest before the dawn. And Lew Rockwell, on a shoestring budget, founded the Ludwig von Mises Institute for Austrian Economics (LvMI’s official name). What is more, he did so in the face of furious opposition from the same billionaires who had chosen to downplay Mises, financed the diffuse GMU program, and forced Rothbard out of Cato. Sound economics finally had an institutional home. What is more, truth, if made accessible, can spread like a prairie fire. Ron Paul has inspired thousands with his message of liberty. These thousands are a huge potential seedbed for future growth in the causal-realist Austrian School.”

“Congressman and former Presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX) discusses the Fed, the fiscal cliff, and his feelings about the Presidential candidates, with CNBC’s Jackie DeAngelis and the Futures Now Traders. October 11, 2012”
“Ron Paul has long warned Americans of the dangers of a federal government-supported police state, and now, it seems his worst fears are coming to life. A 16-year-old Ron Paul supporter has been questioned by the FBI after he created a YouTube video for a school project which highlights how America is slipping into a police state. That’s right, a child has been questioned by the authorities solely because of his support for libertarian Ron Paul. Let alone that the video earned Justin Hallman an A+ with his teacher in his American Government class.”
“Aug. 31 (Bloomberg) — Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, speaks with Bloomberg’s Betty Liu about Mitt Romney’s convention speech last night. They speak on Bloomberg Television’s ‘In The Loop.'”
“On departing the RNC in Tampa yesterday, Ron Paul, his wife and grand-daughter were subjected to harassment by the TSA at a small airport in Clearwater, Florida. Eight TSA goons told the Paul entourage they would need to be screened before they would be allowed to leave because Mitt Romney might be nearby. After a protracted examination of Ron Paul’s credentials, the agents demanded they be allowed to check the airplane for explosives. The incident ended after Ron Paul’s wife, Carol, who has a pacemaker, refused to be screened by the TSA and an aide started taking video.”

“At the heart of the conflict was a decision by RNC officials to change the rules regarding primaries. The intention was to neutralize Paul backers’ tactic of taking over delegates won by other candidates by controlling otherwise sleepy state conventions and caucuses. In a related fight, the RNC’s decision not to seat the delegation of Paul supporters from Maine who were chosen in such a fashion sparked an ugly standoff on the convention floor.”
