Is Dr. Paul protected?

[erin moore]

I am watching the Iowa message... (listening right now). It is SO inspirational. I think this will gather a lot more support for him in Iowa and elsewhere. It just got me thinking- as his following grows and his presidential victory looms nearer- are there those who would seek to harm him to end his bid?

I have been worried for some time about Ron Paul's physical safety. I wonder if he has a secuirty staff? I sure hope so. It is one of my worst nightmares that his message finally takes hold all across the nation (world?) and there is a tragic event reminicent of the Kennedy assissinations.

I am genuinely deeply, concerned. Today was so amazing.... I want it to propell us forward... as we get there, are there people watching out for him?

The thought of that newscast brings me to tears.

P.S. I dont mean to be a spoilsport (really) My husband maxed out today (!), and he is active duty army. Just had a deeply troubling thought cross my mind and thought I'd bring it to you all for a little feedback and comfort.

Yes; RP is safe and well-protected.

 

[Perry]

WE can help protect Ron Paul. Keep your eyes and ears open.

 

[Craig_R]

I dont think "they" would do it. It would most likely spark violent revolution, we are crazy ya know.

 

[Madison]

That didn't stop "them" from killing JFK, RFK, MLK...

 

[daniroyer]

He seemed to have a few "protectors" while here in Miami. He was still very open with people and let us just walk up to him and talk or take pictures.

However, I will say any attack on Ron Paul during a rally would be a suicide mission. We were all over the place and any attacker would be tackled and roughed up hopefully before he could do anything.

Though, I do hate to say that I fear the same thing.

 

[AlexAmore]

Ron Paul should wear some body armor under his suit and he will look buff as well

 

[Perry]

We know better than JFK. I am not by any means saying an event isn't possible mind you.

 

[Xepa]

They don't call us radicalist for nothin'

Trust me, they don't wanna upset us
crazys. Cuz the ones crazy enough to
think they can change the world (or
%&@# someone up) are the ones who
do.

The best we can do is always pray for Ron Paul's safety as well as his family and all of us who are fighting tyranny. I believe in the power of prayer -- best security we can hope for.

Other than that, keep spreading the message far and wide. Make the establishment fear us that they will not get away with harming Dr. Paul. We let them get away with JFK, RFK, and MLK.

If anything happens to Ron Paul "they" have to realize that a number of us will turn violent and "they" will become marked men.... If something happens to RP I wouldn't want to be a CFR member.... Just sayin'.

lol I agree, if someone attacked Ron, we'd all beat the attackers face in, self defense style.

Some poster a while back wanted to pay for a billboard outside Langley with the message if RP goes you go !

 

[erin moore]

Thanks guys.

that would be fantastic!

I would seriously take a bullet to protect Ron Paul.

IMO, if something bad ever happened to Ron Paul it would signal the beginning of Civil War 2.0. I sincerely believe that it would be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Yup, I agree. Especially after he gets top 3 in Iowa.

 

[Antonius Stone]

somebody floated the idea of having a "ron paul revolutionary guard".
every time Paul comes to town supporters with RP bandannas tied around their arms wearing bulletproof vests flank him on all sides. They wouldn't be armed (it would be too easy for the enemies to infiltrate) but Armored.

no amount of security could prevent an assassination.

if powerful interests wanted to assassinate, they would use a weapon or tactic to make it seem as if ron paul had a heart attack. it is easy to make the argument that he's an old man and his heart couldn't take the pressure of the campaign trail. and it's true, it can't be easy for ron paul to be traveling around the country for months on end, constantly being interviewed and have the energy to speak in front of a crowd almost every day.

so this is a concern. i think it's important to be aware of the fact that an assassination through apparent heart attack is a possibility. it's not something i like to think about, not really anything that should be talked about necessarily, but it is definitely something that people need to be aware of.

but keep in mind, ron paul is not just a man... he's an idea. he's a way of thinking. that is not something that you can assassinate. because one day we wont have ron paul as our leader. we wont have ron paul to speak truth to power for us. we have to do it ourselves. ron paul has shown us the way. he has taught us how to be free. it's pretty clear that America is broken in a lot of ways, and i think Ron Paul is probably the only one who could really fix it. so things would be a lot easier if he was the next president. but if for whatever reason ron paul is not the next president... the country still needs to be changed... it's just going to be a lot more difficult without him as president.

so the only way to ensure that ron paul does not get assassinated, is to have a response to assassination. but then you also have to make sure that the response is not used against you. i think if there is an assassination, things could get really ugly for the country. a country that is divided can be easily pitted against one another until big/global government is offered as the only solution.

it probably would be a good idea for him to have at least a few security guards. or ideally a security guard who could carry his bags, drive him around, do lots of things for him... but also make sure he is qualified to protect him if needed. there are a lot of random crazy people out there who take too much prescription medication. so a good security guard would protect you from a random crazy person. but i think the chances of some random wacko attempting an assassination are very very low. but i don't think that's the kind of assassination people are worried about... and no amount of security could ever prevent something like that while a person is out on the campaign trail. we know from the JFK assassination that they can take out anyone they want... but this would be an act of desperation on their part. they would do it out of fear of losing their power. and though i would be devastated from the loss of ron paul, we would at least know that we were winning, and are becoming ever closer to being free.

I heard that Ross Perot's family was threatened during his campaign. I hope Ron Paul's family stays safe. :[

"... claiming that Republican operatives had attempted to disrupt his daughter's wedding, and he wanted to spare her from embarrassment."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot

Some other interesting observations on his run here from a quick google search:

"regarding Perot "By the end of his campaign he seemed to be the crazy old aunt in the attic," i believe that's because the bush crime family threatened him and his family. Perot did too much of an about face to think otherwise, imo."

"Absolutely right. He gave an interview to The Dallas Morning News last year and one of the ground rules was that he WOULD NOT discuss politics.

I believe both that he was threatened and also that some sort of quid pro quo in exchange for Perot 'Omerta' was given to Ross and/or Ross Jr., who is a wheeler-dealer real estate developer in the Metroplex."

"Perot turned very weird. He very likely was upsetting the plans of some very powerful people."

http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=65561&Disp=41&Trace=on

"he held this bizarre press conference where he said that the republicans were trying to destroy his daughter's wedding. he said there were republican spies at this wedding, and the way he spoke, it was paranoid & insane."

http://www.antiwar.com/blog/2007/11/13/send-us-money-warbots-well-keep-bashing-you/

"Anybody remember what happened to Ross Perot in 1992? First they stirred up the fear that he might be an authoritarian. When his popularity continued after the conventions, his family was threatened. He was sufficiently shaken that he withdrew from the campaign. After a week or two, perhaps spent lining up private security, he re-entered but they successfully painted him as a flake, unreliable or what have you."

Maybe by calling Ron Paul "kooky" "crazy" etc, the media are helping to set him up for something like this?
