Does anyone else worry

[Zydeco]

that they're going to assassinate RP?

I do. And I think we should talk about the possibility to dissuade them from trying it.

The Secret Service is a department of the Treasury. Ponder that for a little while.

It just seems self-evident to me that if one certain old man were to slip on a banana peel, a lot of people you probably wouldn't want to screw with would make a lot of money.

I don't like to think about it, but...

I was talking to a friend who hadn't heard of Ron Paul. After I finished describing his positions and the effect he's having on this election, my friend just looked at me and said, "Sounds like the kind of guy who dies in a mysterious plane crash."

Well, maybe we are straying into hot topics territory, but I've read about the Wellstone crash theory and others and don't find any of them very convincing. In the Wellstone case the pilot had serious problems and shouldn't have been flying, and the weather was very bad.

But I do wonder if we should raise the possibility publicly to keep it from happening -- you know, on that 1 in a 1,000 chance something like this would happen

Ron paul himself discussed this subject duting an interview with Alex Jones. He recognized it as a very real possibility, although not one that would happen immediately. He said the tactic now is to marginalize and blacklist him hoping he'll just go away. However, if ignoring and smearing him does not work, and he continues to grow in popularity to the point where he becomes a serious threat to the powers that be, Dr. Paul acknowledged that they might try to take him out. Considering all the tactics the establishment has at its disposal, including rigged elections, it will take a miracle for the Congressman to win.

Alot of people say the same thing to me when I tell them Ron's view. I think a lot of people are waking to the evil out there.

Paranoia is a healthy survival tactic

 

[Bradley in DC]

Wait, I thought the crazies were on our side?

Are you paranoid if they really are out to get you?

 

[kalami]

What would be the reaction in such a scenario? A popular, subversive leader getting mysteriously axed. I don't really want to play up to the paranoia, but I'm genuinely curious.

The rioting worsens...spreads...then...balkanization.

You mean he didn't already do this when that Mika Brzienzki reporter tore up the Paris Hilton story?! The nerve of that lady! Martial Law! Martial Law!

 

[Original_Intent]

NO president that I know of has threatened to get rid of the national bank, that I know of, without at minimum an assassination attempt, and I think all but one of them was successful. Funny thing is, they also end up on our money (is this an attempt to confuse people that they were anti-banker?)

Sounds like a true patriots uniform.

Good idea, cut down on friendly fire.

I understand the concern, but all they can do is make him immortal.

They cannot win. If they strike him down, they'll only make him more powerful than they can possibly imagine.

^^^ I agree with this statement.

That having been said, I certainly do agree with the OP's concern. Politicians do have a way of "mysteriously" kicking off from time to time. May God/Yahweh/Krishna/Allah/Buddah bless and keep Dr. Paul.

I don't think Ron Paul has anything to worry about until he gets Elected....

The way these elite banking thugs work is pretty uniform....

First they try to convince you.....

Then they try to bribe you......

After that, they try to discredit you.....

If that doesn't work, then threats....

Assasination attempts only come in extreme circumstances.....

Look at the last guy who tried to bring the axe to the federal reserve....

JFK got away with printing around 4.4+ billion in United State Notes in $2 and $5 denominations.....and they didn't try to get him....

But when he went to the printing presses to print more United States Notes in $10 and $20 denominations.....well that's when the banking elites had enough and you know the rest.....

JFK assasinated the week the $10s and $20s were being delivered to banks....right afterwords, the $10 and $20 United States Notes sent to the banks for distribution were recalled.

So if you want to speculate on this subject....Ron Paul has a looooong way to go to being as much as a threat as JFK was to the banking elite.....
