My Tinfoil-hat is Tingling

I see it as more a policy of containment. I think they built up Huckabee to take away from RP, and now they build up RP to take away from Huckabee. The "master plan" would be to keep the field as level as possible, ensuring that no-one takes the lead. Why? 'Cause Hillary has the blessing of the establishment.

And they want to keep the race close so they can diebold the crap out of us.

The machines are usually set for the winner to take 51% and loser 49%.
There was an actual programmer that testified before congress saying that he actually programmed this for a real election

But of course that would be for the General Election.

It would be funny if we overwhelmed everyone at the caucus, and if the centralized private counting of the caucus vote came back as RP in 6th or something, then everyone would know for sure something was up.

So they won't lose credibility if Dr. Paul wins. Notice the focus of today's media attention was "What if the polls are wrong about Dr. Paul"

they had to do that to cover thier collective asses, as they all know the polls are wrong about Paul

I don't think they have a master plan toward Ron Paul. I'm sure they'd like to be done with him if possible, but a master plan :confused:

Give him minimal/skewed coverage for as long as possible

No arguments there

Artificially raise Huckabee to distract people away from Dr. Paul

Yeah, I don't think that has anything to do with Ron Paul. Huckabee has good media people. The reason he's gotten such great media coverage so far is probably quid pro quo. Also, I don't think it's artificial. It definitely exists. I don't think it's going to exist for very long, but it exists for the time being anyway.

Give good coverage the day before the Iowa caucus (because most people have made up their minds and there is no time left to research Dr. Paul)

No, actually a lot of people haven't. You don't think Ron Paul getting good media coverage is partly the campaign's own doing? There are a lot of caucus go-ers who are paying closer attention to the media, as well other people in early primary states like NH, Michigan, SC, Nevada. It's like you guys live in a bubble or something... It can and will make a difference. If the media really didn't want RP to get anywhere, they'd simply ignore him. That'd be their best bet. It's been working so far. Now, some of you will say they're giving him good coverage to save face. That could be part of it certainly, if the campaign has given the networks some info most of us aren't aware of. It just seems so unlikely to me though.

With all that said, I agree with those who say we shouldn't feel complacent about our chances. This campaign will always be an uphill battle. If anything, the coverage should energize us to turn out! :)
 
The elite have quite a few options in my book:

- Vote fraud
- Assassination
- False Flag (after he is president to undermine his foreign policy change)
- Economic manipulation
 
The tone of the last two days has been to dismiss the importance of Iowa.

See:
Strawpoll
Online Poll
Fundrasing Totals
Event Turnout
Volunteer count
 
there is no "master plan" just a war of ideas and allegiance. Just like Dr. Paul said there was no "conspiracy" per se about the NAU, just war of ideas and allegiance.

Well placed editors that keep a lid on coverage: YES

Editors that communicate some grand plan to stop Paul: NO
 
my bad

You took my meaning of "master plan" much to broadly.

Oh sorry...

But the media are in serious collusion against the good Dr. - I think if there is a sudden surge in coverage perhaps they know he's about to surprise? Third maybe? Second?
