Ron Paul and Alex Jones

I notice the press clips relating to Presidential Candidate Ron Paul disparaging him for favouring appearances with fringe media types such as Alex Jones. A typical example is:

He feels more comfortable speaking with eclectic pundits such as Alex Jones rather than with members of the more conventional media.

Understand Ron Paul is a superstar on what I’ll call for my purposes here the “Alex Jones Circuit”. In the realm of mainstream political punditry, he is a mere blip, his q-rating perhaps above average amongst a Congressional roster of 435 largely meaningless House members and 100 oh-so-important Senators, and most importantly, rrelevant to the Washington concensus — as personified by the Sunday Morning Blathering Shows which reserve spots for John McCain, Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel, and Joseph Liberman, with an all star panel of tedious hack newspaper political columnists.

It’s a hierarchy that demands to be either turned upside down or shaken up. The House of Representatives is perfect for founding a parallel power order. In the corner of the political spectrum that Alex Jones operates from, slide alongside Michael Ruppert’s organs, the list of heavy-weights are a veritable bi-partisan caucs and assortment of politiicans tilting at windmills against the Elite Empire — probably easily chunked down to Ron Paul and Cynthia McKinney. (Plotting her political comeback with their aid, no doubt). And there are only a handful of other elected officials worth mentioning — curiously enough, it adds up to the number that the Sunday Morning shows bother with.

Right wing Christiondom can align themselves their own heroes of home-school advocating under-god fetishist abortion fighters. If this only serves to move them to the one of a number of fringes of largely irrelevant agenda-cliques, at least it tends to be more interesting than the beltway mainstream.

A campaign issue was made in 2006 by Ron Paul’s Democratic opponent over comments Ron Paul made on Alex Jones’s show which seemed to suggest Paul was pushing for the Impeachment of President Bush. Alex Jones blared it out on his cluster of websites, somewhere aside his hawking of his apocalyptic videos eschewing the police state. Paul threw the onus on Congress, largely saying Congress oughta be impeached for not reigning the President in, and it delved mostly into philosophical points. It doesn’t fit into the Jones claim that he predicted the 9/11 inside-job, precursing the series of predictions made that don’t ever seem to come to pass.

Still, he flatters Ron Paul and provides Ron Paul with a platform for his somewhat outside the mainstream opinions, outside the political scope of “Who’s Up and Who’s Down”, somewhere in the realm of appealing to those who believe we need to destroy the Federal Reserve.

Thus.

    A RENDEZVOUS WITH DESTINY. There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

    Searching for 9/11 answers – By Derek Gentile, Berkshire Eagle Staff Monday, February 19

    Part of group believes government planned attacks

    STOCKBRIDGE — As much as “mainstream America” might wish it, the local members of the 9/11 Truth Movement say their organization is not going away anytime soon. “(An alternate theory of the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, is) a scary thing for people to contemplate,” said Renzo Del Molino. “And I understand that. The realization that people in power are trying to hurt us, and not help us, is very frightening to them. It’s frightening to me.” View Full Story:

    “The world situation is worsening to an alarming degree. People all over the world are being called on to help, and are making their individual contributions as part of an overall prearranged plan. Part of the plan is taking down “A Course in Miracles,” and I am fulfilling my part in the agreement, as you will fulfill yours. You will be using abilities you developed long ago, and which you are not really ready to use again. Because of the acute emergency, however, the usual slow, evolutionary process is being by-passed in what might best be described as a ‘celestial speed-up.'”

    ….That seemed so strange and bizarre to her that she was ready to throw her notebook in the trash basket, and yet it triggered something like a long ago memory in her in which she said, “Of course I’ll go, Father: it’s for such a little while.”

    Still, she was obviously not completely satisfied, for she tried one more time to abdicate her position. “Why me?” she asked. “I’m not religious: I don’t understand these things: I don’t even believe them. I’m about the poorest choice you could make.”

    The answer came back very clearly, “On the contrary; you are an excellent choice. In fact, the best.”

    “But why?” she anguished. And then, without a hint of doubt she heard the answer: “Because you’ll do it.”

    Helen had no response to that. She knew the Voice was right: she knew she would do it. And from that moment on the future of “A Course in Miracles” was set. Helen would “scribe” it to its completion, even though she might raise loud objections all along the way.

    BBC Hit Piece a Tissue of Lies, Bias and Emotional Manipulation – prisonplanet.com

    Outraged truth community demands answers from Guy Smith, immediate retractions and apologies urged, savage agenda driven yellow journalism an insult to the truth

    The BBC’s Conspiracy Files documentary about 9/11 was a tissue of lies, bias and emotional manipulation from beginning to end. Producer Guy Smith should be ashamed of himself for inflicting this travesty of yellow journalism upon the 9/11 truth movement and he is assured to encounter a vociferous and outraged response in its aftermath.

    Separated into two categories below are a number of questions intended to highlight Guy Smith’s production for what it was – a deliberate hit piece on the 9/11 truth movement structured around fallacy, lying by omission and overwhelming bias. We invite Mr. Smith to respond to these questions and the hundreds of others that are already being asked by furious and informed community of people who were made sick to their stomachs by Smith’s yellow journalism hatchet job.

    Is the Military Our Last Hope?

    By Paul Craig Roberts

    Is the high command of the US military breaking ranks with the Bush Regime?…

    Perhaps America could regain its reputation if General Pace would send a division of US Marines to arrest Bush, Cheney, the entire civilian contingent in the Pentagon, the neoconservative nazis, and the complicit members of Congress and send them off to the Hague to be tried for war crimes.
