Ron Paul getting his own private jets

[libertarianguy]

test

 

[happyphilter]

if ron paul is naive enough to accept the private jet flights and survives, just imagine how long he'll survive afterwards

DO NOT ACCEPT THIS OFFER

please stop with the paranoia guys...
first off, the pilets and everyone onboard would die, so it would be dumb to even do it.

second, the company confronted him, theres no way that would escape any amount of public attention.

so guys, just stop. the world is not out to turn us into hamsters so we can run on wheels all day, not everything has a shadowy figure behind it. And if you want to ever be taken seriously, knock it off with these ridiculous comments.

 

[Godbag]

realise this thread is dead, but i just found this site and have been thinking about this since i heard of Ron a few months ago and i didnt want to open a new thread because it pisses people off... first off, to the people that are calling the "paranoid" comments ridiculous, please stop being so naive... A Paul presidency would piss a lot of very rich, very powerful people and corporations off.. both of which have friends in very high places, most of whom are already in very high places.. if you think that they will sit by and watch Ron dismantle everything they have worked on for the past 50yrs then your not as smart as i thought.. add on to that the extensive history of untimely deaths to people who opposed this exact same group and i think it is you who is being ridiculous.. it is not paranoia, it is caution, and a private jet full of people would not deter them in the slightest considering the fact that the investigation of such a crash would ultimately be controlled and spun in their favor... if u could commit a crime, knowing there were no consequences, would you? no? what if u stood to lose everything?

"...I think its best we do not dwell on the unknown, what we can do now is support Ron Paul, but I do believe the man should be guarded heavily as the campaign gains traction" this is exactly how i feel.. even when you try not to sound crazy mentioning things such as these, it always comes accross to some people as deluded... and while i am praying(i am not religious... i guess hoping would be the more appropriate term but its not strong enough) that Ron Paul is the next president, there is an increasingly loud voice in my head telling me they wont let it happen...(im not schitzophrenic and i sincerely hope that nothing does happen)

Wouldn't this look a bit like special interest lobbying? I know it's nothing compared to the other candidates.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

what's the big deal? it will be free and he will get around faster. They support his politics.

Would this be special interests? I don't think so. They already support his positions...

 

[jrich4rpaul]

NO JETS

Waste of money, too risky.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

it would be free.. but ok. He would be all over the country in a matter of hours

 

[maxmerkel]

if imperial jets has EMP protected planes and the 10 most active Ronpaulforums.com members watch over the plane all day and night i'd say accept the offer (of course there has to be a parachute for every person on board !) (and all doors must be operatable by hand !)
otherwise no way

 

[Delivered4000]

Absolutely not

 

[LibertyOfOne]

I thought the plane rides would count as contributions and therefor would not sit will with the law.

I thought the plane rides would count as contributions and therefor would not sit will with the law.

that's why the campaign would have to pay at least the price for a first class ticket for the flights -

 

[Adamsa]

Wow, a private jet, classy.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

maybe they can charge 1c

This is why.

"His father was assassinated on November 22, 1963, three days before Kennedy, Jr.'s third birthday."

Offers of free jet travel sound awesome, until you start to look at other "convenient crashes" in recent history:

CNN - politicians killed in plane crashes



• 2002 Senator Paul Wellstone - private jet crashed mysteriously killing him,
his wife and one of his children and four other people ( key opposition to Iraq war )

• 2000 Governor Mel Carnahan of Missouri was killed in a plane crash weeks before an election.
• 1996 TWA flight 800 crash killing large number of French intelligence community
• 1996 Ron Brown plane crash
• 1993 Governor George Mickelson plane crash
• 1991 Pennsylvania Senator John Heinz and six other people were killed
• 1991 Senator John Tower plane crash
• 1989 Rep. Larkin Smith plane crash
• 1989 Rep. Mickey Leland plane crash

• 1983 Rep. Larry MacDonald killed (?) in the KAL007 crash

On September 1, 1983, Larry McDonald died when Korean Air Flight KAL-007 was shot down by Soviet fighters after the plane entered Soviet airspace.

McDonald was the only U.S. congressman ever killed by the Soviets during the Cold War. North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms and Idaho Senator Steve Symms, both conservative Republicans and Congressman Carroll Hubbard, a Democrat of Kentucky, all staunch critics of the Soviet Union, were scheduled to fly to Seoul on KAL 007, but instead flew on KAL 015

Much of the congressional district McDonald represented would later be represented by Newt Gingrich.


Larry McDonald was known for his conservative views, even by Southern standards. His anti-communist fervor was probably second only to that of Sen. Joseph McCarthy. He took the communist threat seriously and considered it an international conspiracy.

Such a view was later echoed in the words of President Ronald Reagan who called the Soviet Union an "Evil Empire". In another sense, McDonald may be viewed as a precursor of the Reagan supply-side (market liberalization) revolution that swept through the country in the 1980s. An admirer of Austrian economics, he was an advocate of tight monetary policy in the late 1970s to get the economy out of "stagflation" - a mixture of low growth and high inflation.

He was also a passionate advocate of laissez-faire or market based policies. His staunch conservative views on social issues attracted controversy.

On March 18, 1998, the Georgia House of Representatives, "as an expression of gratitude for his able service to his country and defense of the US Constitution",

"We have four boxes with which to defend our freedom: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box."
- Larry MacDonald

We Hold These Truths by Larry P. MacDonald


• 1978 Richard "Dick" Obenshain of Virginia died in a plane crash shortly after receiving the GOP nomination.
• 1976 Congressman Jerry Litton, also of Missouri, died in a plane crash on the day he was nominated by his party.
• 1972 Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt's wife Dorothy Hunt died in the crash of flight 553 ( crucial Watergate evidence lost forever )

Wow, can we tone down the paranoia? I'd hate to think a new person to this forum read this thread first.

 

[Adamsa]

Here come the conspiracy theorists!

 

[Midnight77]

I think it would help Paul's image as a man of the people if he DID NOT accept.

 

[yongrel]

Why was this thread resurrected?

There's more than enough conspiracies on here already.

Let it die, please.

does this sound like anyone you know?
