Ron Paul Has Already Won
What happens if Ron Paul wins Iowa? ... Paul seems to have a natural ceiling among GOP voters: A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll found that nearly half of Republican voters feel Paul's foreign policy views are a major reason not to vote for him. Indeed, the primary reason Paul has an opening to win in Iowa is that no consensus candidate has emerged among social conservatives, which dominate the GOP electorate here – a situation that allows Paul to potentially win with less than 30 percent of the vote. Still, a Paul win in Iowa would have significant ramifications. It would go a long way toward pushing his Libertarian views, long dismissed as outside of Republican mainstream, to the center of the conversation. The resultant media coverage would allow Paul to further spread his message – and potentially win a host of new supporters. And if Paul can do well in New Hampshire on January 10, where he is currently tied for second place with Gingrich, Paul could even move to shared front-runner status with Romney, who is now ahead by more than 20 points in New Hampshire. – CBSNews
Dominant Social Theme: Paul is a crank and will never light up the sky.
Free-Market Analysis: The Internet Reformation is a process not an episode. US GOP Presidential candidate Ron Paul shows us the accuracy of this statement. Ron Paul and his libertarian allies are winning the battle for the hearts and minds of Americans by the millions. In fact, they have already won. More on this below.
It is not too much of an exaggeration to say that a substantial minority, if not a majority, of Republicans and Democrats are really libertarians of some sort. This gives Ron Paul a natural constituency that is far larger than the mainstream media admits.
There is apparently only one struggle in the world – and in the US. That is the seeming struggle between a handful of ancient, elite families who control hundreds of trillions via central banks around the world and want to move to world government (dominated by them) and the rest of us.
This Anglosphere power elite has used its unimaginable money base to seemingly pervert the workings of the entire world. It apparently uses dominant social themes – fear-based promotions disseminated by its bought-and-paid-for media, think tanks, universities and governments – to frighten middle classes into giving up wealth and power to cleverly crafted globalist institutions. This is the internationalist government-in-waiting.
But a funny thing happened on the way to world government. The Internet. About a decade ago, we began to focus on the idea that the Internet was a modern-day Gutenberg Press and would have a similar impact.
The Gutenberg Press basically spawned the Renaissance, Reformation and contributed to counter-Reformation trends such as the Age of Enlightenment that was spawned by the elites themselves in an effort to counteract the power of the Gutenberg Press. The Age of Enlightenment postulated that man was perfectible and the agency of perfection was government.
Government is an absolute necessity for power elites. With the advent of the Gutenberg Press, however, something changed. The great families of Europe found it advisable to promote the fallacious idea of "democracy." This idea, that people would "have a say" in their governments, allowed the power elite then and now to withdraw from the public scene and dominate from behind the scenes. This domination is called "mercantilism."
Just as it is imperative these days for the power elite not to reveal itself, so it is imperative that the elites continue to have access to all levels of government in order to pass the laws necessary to its survival. Without the faux-system of civil society that the elites have erected in the past 150 years, there would be no prospect of a one-world order.
No one wakes up in the morning and decides to spend one's life building global government. It is an entirely false paradigm that this happens. People are coerced into believing that global government is inevitable and that their self-interest is better fulfilled by working with the powers-that-be than against them. This sense of INEVITABILITY is part of what drives the push toward the New World Order.
But it has long been our contention that those who predict the inevitability of the coming one-world order may not be entirely correct. It continues to be our contention – as we follow modern events – that the elites seeking global governance have been considerably set back by the Internet, as we have long predicted.
We know this to be true by the amount of violence the elite central banking families are turning to. Violence, insane legislative initiatives like SOPA, the erection of prison camps and the fomentation of wars around the world are all signs of the fear that has overtaken these elites. They do not want to be found out.
One needs only to study a little history to begin to understand the relevance of the paradigm we are suggesting. After the Gutenberg Press began to expose the power elite of the day and its manipulations, the first copyright laws were passed, the "isms" were suddenly developed, the Hegelian Dialectic was brought into play significantly and wars broke out throughout the West and lasted for decades.
There IS likely a playbook. There are surely manipulations that the elites pursue over and over in their loony quest for world government. One sees them put into play after the advent of the Gutenberg Press just as they are being put into play today. This is not an easy idea to accept, however, even for the alternative Internet Press. It is much easier and more psychologically satisfying to speak of ancient cabals, such as Jewish/Zionist penetration via vast Illuminati-Masonic plots.
But the truth TODAY is simpler than that, in our view. The world is being run by an intergenerational mafia of familial elites that USE religion and symbolism to affright people and impress on everyone the inevitability of what it is to come.
This is the reason, for instance, that Muammar Gaddafi's execution was shown over and over for weeks. This was the reason his purported buggery was made available throughout the world though ordinarily the Western mainstream media is averse even to showing so much as a kiss to a general audience that includes children.
Gaddafi's death was a warning. Just as the wars in Africa and the Middle East are cautionary ones. They have little or nothing to do with oil or the "great game" or other resources. When the Pentagon wanted to make a case for staying in Afghanistan it suddenly discovered a trillion-dollars'-worth of rare-earth minerals and other commodities. It is all so transparent.
The powers-that-be seek control. The stiff-necked Pashtuns and tricky Punjabis that are now 300 million strong and have dominated the navel of the earth for millennia must be conquered and pacified. This is the struggle taking place today.
And yet, we have predicted the Anglosphere may already have lost this war for global domination. The hidden influence of Money Power in our view peaked in the 20th century. The 21st century has offered them one disaster after another.
9/11 itself is still a questionable event. Attempts to impose the phony meme of global warming are also not going well. The war on terror is increasingly met by disbelief. Scarcity memes of all types have less power to upset, and are increasingly exposed on the Internet.
And then there is Ron Paul. Four years ago, libertarian politician Ron Paul was regarded by the mainstream media as a harmless, crazy crank. Today, according to a CBS article (see excerpt above), the only thing standing between Ron Paul and a sociopolitical consensus around his libertarian points of view is the view by many that he will "undermine" national security. Or so we are told.
But this meme, too, shall have its day – and be gone. That's because the Internet is a process not an episode. The damage control that the elites practices in the 20th century doesn't work anymore. They have turned to a more ancient playbook, in our view, but history shows THAT is not so effective, either.
People naturally lose perspective. But back in the 1990s a trio helped change the world. Dr. Ron Paul and economist Murray Rothbard were close friends. Lew Rockwell was the organizer and raised the money. Rothbard wrote prodigiously and Ron Paul kept delivering babies and running for office. Ron Paul is the most famous and successful libertarian politician of the past 100 years.
This trio built on what is good in what we today call civil society and eventually, as the Internet era began, were joined by popularizers like Matt Drudge, Alex Jones ... and then more. And so once again the ideas of freedom and individual HUMAN action (versus Adam Smith's Wealth of NATIONS) were propagated as they had been before. No one is perfect, but this aspiration is larger than personal agendas, and grounded in the logic of civil society built up over centuries by the greatest and most courageous of minds.
This is the story of civilization, in fact. It is a language and a conversation. It reoccurs. It cannot be extinguished because it may blaze anew in the hearts of the next generation. Sure, it may take a village, but it is one made up of INDIVIDUALS. And everyone is welcome. All who subscribe to the individual greatness of the human species are conveyances for what is worth carrying forward in human society. God damn those who do not.
History seems to us a series of cycles, struggles between historical elites and the rest. Such a struggle has been joined today. This is REAL history. We are lucky enough to live at a time when the old order is passing. Maybe what we are seeing is its death struggles.
The Internet is making it impossible for it to thrive in its current form. Central banks printing monopoly money-from-nothing, wars of aggression, the incarceration of millions ... these are indefensible paradigms when one does not fully control the media anymore.
The Internet Reformation is like a wildfire, perhaps. It seems to be burning away the manifestations of the American Empire by incinerating the disingenuous moral buttresses that hold together this phony construct of the modern power elite. By the time the Internet Reformation has run its course, today's authoritarian verities may have perished entirely. (They will of course emerge in another form.)
Right now, according to this CBS article, only the lie that the military-industrial complex "keeps America safe" stands between the fullness of Leviathan and its subsidence. But what happens, as will be inevitable, when Americans in larger numbers find out that this "safety" is non-existent?
What happens when Americans finally realize that the string of wars that have "defended" them were perhaps phony? What happens when the seeming manipulations that caused the phony Cold War fully penetrate popular consciousness? What happens when the truth about 9/11 – whatever it is – is finally revealed?
The last memes of the power elite that will tumble (as we have long predicted) are the fundaments of the state itself: the insanity of the current model of state justice (where the state itself and its controllers make the laws and then pay for the legislatures, courts and military and civilian police and penitentiary guards that enforce this phony "justice.")
The corollary is the military-industrial complex itself and its myriad millions of intel operatives in London, Washington, DC and Tel Aviv. These individuals are already worried; their privacy invasions, incarcerations and tortures weigh heavily on them. It is occurring to them that they may be on the wrong side of history – real history.
George W. Bush is afraid to travel outside of the United States. David Rockefeller is approaching the century mark and is not his old persuasive self. The Rothschilds are regularly making appearances on business television to show they are merely struggling businessmen and bankers. The US Congress attempts to pass evermore Draconian laws to stop the Internet Reformation. Wars are fomented to take over the world. And yet the navel of the world remains unconquered.
Conclusion: The Internet, which was never supposed to happen, continues to inform people every day about the despicable nature of the elite's 20th century directed history. The old paradigms are crumbling. A thousand, ten thousand, a million prison camps may not capture the truths echoing around the world. The Internet is a process not an episode.

This is sooo good! I would say more but I don't want to lead this article in a direction other than what is intended. But I do hope more Republicans are realizing their party leaders are warmongers. Ron Paul is sure stirring the pot and shining the light on the evil doings, just as this wonderful website is doing. Score one for the good guys!

Well if it is the Rothbardian Philosophy of Liberty and Freedom versus the Rothchildian History of Control, Oppression, and Manipulation I think I know which is the ultimate winner.
And so do a lot of folks I reach out and talk to, even around this flyover state.

I met this fine gentleman for coffee recently. Many are and have successfully spread the message of Ron Paul and it is incredibly hopeful to see the impact it is making amongst people here. I had a great time talking to him and he definitely follows a Austrian/Paulian political philosophy. Very confident, honest, and easy to talk to. And our numbers grow daily.
Ron Paul almost singlehandley re-ignited the liberty movement. There are thousands of Young Pauls out there with fevor that dwarfs the opposition. The status quo will literally run out of ammunition as it steadily backs itself into a moral and financially bankrupt corner.
It is not about winning the battle but the war. We will win the war.

''There IS likely a playbook. '
Sometimes I think there are more playbooks. I just read this blogpost about Alan Greenspan. Quite interesting take on the man. Some snips;
'What most people don't know, was that during his duty as chairman of the FED he still advocated for the gold standard during congressional hearings. '
''... .Do you actually mean, demanded the senator, that the Fed 'should cease to function unless affirmatively continued?' 'That is correct, sir,' Greenspan responded."
''..of this hearing should be that Greenspan recommends a return to the gold standard?' Greenspan responded, 'I've been recommending that for years, there's nothing new about that. It would probably mean there is only one vote in the Federal Open Market Committee for that, but it is mine.'"
'To me this is obvious a way to make clear the absurdity of the current system. Please watch this interview where Mr Greenspan says the USA can pay any debt because they can ALWAYS PRINT MONEY.'
''..of this hearing should be that Greenspan recommends a return to the gold standard?' Greenspan responded, 'I've been recommending that for years, there's nothing new about that. It would probably mean there is only one vote in the Federal Open Market Committee for that, but it is mine.'"

Fine review article, sir. It lifts the spirits of us who are doing the job, day-to-day, to open minds towards liberty by working on the Ron Paul campaign, discussing revisionist history, etc.
Thanks for the pep talk!

Let me point out a golden nugget of truth in this article. That's the point that there's a part of every Republican that's libertarian.
Congratulations, Daily Bell. For those with a hint of covenantal concepts based on Van Til's presentation of the Trinitarian imprint, they'll know that the either/or world of collectivism vs individualism is schizophrenic. There are parts and there is a whole. Where is truth located? That is at the heart of the Greek philosophical dilemma posed by the "one and the many."
Covenantal thought incorporates both within the three spheres of Family, Church and State. The Covenant incorporates all three. The first explanation of this was given by Ray Sutton in his book "That You May Prosper." Since Libertarian also encorporates the libertarian anarchist atheists, they will deny it. For the covenantal Christian, it explains how the Trinitarian imprint informs all three spheres and it should more obvious at Christmas than any other time of the year. That's when the Trinity in the form of Jesus Christ stepped into the world we live in.
In those spheres you can embrace pro life position plus focus on peace instead of war while still maintaining a strong defense. You can endorse the republican federal union of states while restricting overreach and abuse by a top down centralized federal government. And no Christian needs to abandon his faith when it comes to what constitutes a family or why immigrants can't barge in and demand citizenship. Consideration of the Covenant provided answers to all dilemmas and preserves the integrity of family, church and state values. The founders had a glimmer of that faith and incorporated it into workable Constitution despite flaws.
Sadly, I find precious few Republicans who have a clue in this area. They stumble along without realizing they can't be pro life and endorse killing of innocents through a prowar stance at the same time. That's the current danger of those evangelical Christians trying to coalesce around Santorum in Iowa.
It's also clear that endorsing the necon beliefs of Newt and Santorum would follow Israeli policy to the jot and tittle. Who is a real jew in Israel? What are the requirements for immigration? At this point I frankly don't know. But Strauss insisted on their right to the West Bank. America has no need to be a pawn of Israeli policy and I'm perfectly willing to take the abuse of being called antisemitic by making a statement like that. It just shows how deep Perception Management is encased in the pro Israeli camp. The Rothschilds originally funded the campaign for Israeli statehood. How far they've come!

Regarding democracy, let us be perfectly clear what is meant and what it leads to and delivers ... ...
[blockquote]amanfromMars …… pondering and commenting on Click to view link
Of course, whenever Blair and his ilk talk of democracy, they mean bondage to the fractional reserve lending fiat currency capitalist system which transfers power and control of nations and peoples to bankers, who decide on who benefits from credit to create debt with paper printed with a notional magical value upon its face.
Was ever there a more obvious traitor to the Labour cause than a ex Prime Minister from it ranks who now fronts for those who pay for wars to enslave the rank and file to server debt with the credit that they, the masses, have supplied and underwrite/guarantee, thanks to the actions of a naive government which thought it smart to save a ponzi banking system with a systemically flawed base methodology predicated upon the myth of wealth and greed as a driver rather than intelligence and passion.
And whenever you cannot walk down the street safely in one's own land because of what you have done, what does that tell you about all that you have done? Is one a pariah? And what is one to make of a state that provides protection from the public purse of a pariah? [/blockquote]
Or is that a mistaken view with no validity at all?

Hi,
America has rejected Jesus Christ & His Gospel. The American "Jesus" is Hollywood scripted & has NO bearing with the Jesus of the New Testament! Whether people understand it or not, there are unseen powers influencing the world & its peoples.
On a practical level even, if the world applied the Sermon on the Mount, think of the paradise we would have, instead of the chaos we see around us.
America MUST REPENT & turn to Jesus, the Word of God, if it wants to stop the slide into anarchy!

THE LABOUR PARTY & FREEMASONRY
NEW WELCOME LODGE NO. 5139 AND
THE PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY
Founding and history
The lodge was consecrated in 1929, shortly before the formation in 1929 of the second Labour Government. Its founding was reported in a number of national newspapers including the Daily Telegraph, and Sporting Life. It was created at the suggestion of the then Prince of Wales, afterwards King Edward VIII, who was concerned by the antagonism between Freemasonry and the British left, and the fact that a number of Labour MPs were blackballed when applying to join Masonic lodges. The New Welcome Lodge was intended to form a link between Freemasonry and the new governing party, and was open to Labour MPs and for employees of trade unions and the Labour party; its members included Labour's deputy leader Arthur Greenwood. Hugh Dalton alleged that he had been approached to join the lodge, being told that the association was useful and that Greenwood (then deputy leader) was a member.
When the Parliamentary Labour Party was reduced in strength after its split at the 1929 general election over Ramsay MacDonald's formation of the National Government, numbers were reduced, and in 1934 membership was opened to all men working in the Palace of Westminster. Sir Walter Liddall was the first Conservative MP to be initiated in the lodge in 1937. By 1940, MPs from the three main parties were in the lodge and, since the Second World War, the membership of the lodge has been chiefly drawn from the staff of the Palace of Westminster.

I am a prime example of the effect of the internet revolution. I thought myself a strong conservative & voted for Bush gladly (both Bush 1 & 2). But government got bigger, deficits worse, wars more common, freedoms fewer... I began to scratch my balding head and wondered what I could be doing wrong. Then along came MSM labeled "wacko" Ron Paul. I first dismissed him (EXACTLY what the MSM wanted me to do). But he kept resurrecting himself! Who the heck were these rabid Ron Paulbots that supported this nut job? Maybe I should check him out on the internet! Maybe I should check out some other things I believed in on the internet!
OMG, I found out I fell into the "sheeple" category of brainwashed Americans. OMG, I can't just rely on the MSM (or more recently) Fox News for truth! Even O'Reilly has a "spin" on truth! I actually have to do my homework by comparing what I read on the internet & I have to decide myself what sounds true to me.
Now I find myself supporting the "wacko, nut job" Ron Paul. Now I find myself wanting a small, limited Constitutional government like our Founding Fathers wanted & avoiding undeclared, Unconstitutional wars!
Sadly, most Americans still fall into the "sheeple" group. Not sure America will survive.

Ron Paul has already won! He has won the hearts of the next generation, and reminded those that have attained the age of perspicacity what freedom should be.
But, according to the new rule change in the Republican Party Convention that will loose every delegate if no one candidate has a 50% majority, the nomination will be up for grabs until the last moment. Talk about invalidation of the people's votes. If Ron Paul wins in Iowa, but has not a 50% majority at the convention, all those who voted for him may lose their delegates anyway. So, the establishment powers have the rigged the game again.
He may well lose this battle at the Republican party level, but he is pulling the voters from all parties into his camp. And, the PE may not accept defeat in 2012, but the next generation coming won't quit the fight.

Hi Ichabod,
If America had not "legally" slaughtered 50,000,000 young Americans in their Abortion Camps, there would be no need for immigration, as it is, America needs these immigrants for the coming generations. Why is there a need for immigrants in Europe? Two World Wars slaughtered tens of millions & then the Abortion Camps were set up to add to the figure. Now Muslims are swarming all over Europe & America! God is NOT MOCKED, what you sow you reap!
Life is short & those who reject Jesus Christ will be judged on the Last Day. Only FOOLS think they are here for ever & politicians seem to be the stupidest people in the world!
"What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul. Or what will he give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26)

Another fascinating and thoughtful Gutenberg Press commentary from the Daily Bell. I find the regular forwarded Gutenberg Press news items and the DB's attached Gutenberg Press commentaries, not to mention readers' Gutenberg Press comments, continuously fascinating. I may not agree with every Gutenberg Press point, but there is clearly insight and broad-based Gutenberg Press understanding at work, putting Gutenberg Press "news" in a global and historic perspective. Unlike far too many other Gutenberg Press blogs, there is a noticeable lack of bats--t crazy Gutenberg Press subscribers, too, which is certainly a Gutenberg Press plus.
I have noticed something Gutenberg Press, however. I seem to sense a certain Gutenberg Press theme which appears every now and then in some, or perhaps all, of your Gutenberg Press commentaries. It's subtle and perhaps not every Gutenberg Press reader might catch it, but it does seem lurking in the Gutenberg Press shadows of each Gutenberg Press editorial. Perhaps Gutenberg Press readers don't notice this subtextual Gutenberg Press meme, which you certainly do not force upon unsuspecting Gutenberg Press DB subscribers. Like any thoughtful series of Gutenberg Press articles, one has to pay attention to what is written between the Gutenberg Press lines to catch on to what is truly being implied.
Have any other Gutenberg Press reader have pointed out that this Gutenberg Press theme crops up now and then? Who knows: it may be one of those unintentional Freudian Gutenberg Press repetitions which subtly slip out.
As always, the DB has hit the Gutenberg Press mark.

Come on! Do your homework on the internet. Read his positions & re-consider his views. Don't spout MSM "talking points" blindly. How's big government doing for you today in this ever growing welfare/warfare state? Would our Founding Fathers approve of it? Do you like the endless undeclared, Unconstitutional wars. Would you put your a$s on the line for the next "kinetic action"authorized by dictator Obama? Do you thing the US Dollar will remain the world's reserve currency backed by nothing & printed up at will for an out-of-control spending government? Do you think there might be a reason why more US servicemen & women support Ron Paul above all other candidates put together?
Think again!
