This rings completely hollow for me. A friend is calling it Ron Paul's Hostage video. Here is his response posted on the Daily Paul:
This video had he same creepy vibe as a prisoner of war video where the prisoner is forced to read the script of his captors. The fake cityscape behind him only added to the effect. I fear our hero has been gotten to.
The world will end not with a bang....
...but with a whimper.
If the Ron Paul campaign was our world, this tepid message from a fake cityscape located somewhere in the (official campaign's) State of Denial just might be the whimper. Either RP has been gotten to, has compromised himself, or is captive in Jesse Benton/Tyrgve Olson's unreality bubble
Then this in IM to me:
Mark: I think they got to him...Bernanke called him for breakfast and explained just what would go down if he persisted and he broke...and now he is a broken man, the shadow of his former self
Mark: And he knows he betrayed us all and can barely stand to talk to us, So deep is his guilt, he can barely look in the camera
Mark: Something dark and ugly went down at that FED breakfast
Don't know if I buy that. Put yourself in his shoes. The safest thing for him to fo would be to go public with whatever threats were made to him. At least that's how I'd handle it. RP has enough military backers to start an army of his own.
Those comments made by Mark seem to me to be biased. I know people are PO'd about Rand's endorsing Romney, but Rand is a big boy able to make his own decisions. If I had to guess, I'd say Ron was very unhappy with Rand for doing that, particularly on Hannity's show. Taking Rand's actions out on Ron is just wrong, and it seems to me that's what Mark (whomever he is) is doing.
Ron is a good guy. He can't walk on water though, which seems to be the biggest beef some people have with him. His political career is about over, and he's done more for liberty in his time than about anyone else in the last 15+ years. If he decides to completely retire from the movement, it will be a retirement well earned, IMO. Cut him some slack.
I agree with you. Ron is not perfect, but he has done an admirable job in educating people about the Fed and the insanity of all these wars. He has woke up many people even with the very limited time they gave him to speak during the debates. He is almost 77 and still fighting strong. I'm sure he has been threatened many times in his career as a congressman. But he kept on speaking the truth despite it. The elite weren't concerned about him until he started to get popular in 2008, then they took the gloves off and tried to smear him as a racist. When that didn't work they censored him. When that didn't work they fixed the vote. And now that Ron Paul is racking up lots of delegates in many states they are resorting to intimidation, violence, and I am sure more dire and immediate threats to Ron Paul and his family. It has had to take a toll on him.
I do wonder why he didn't really go after Romney though when he is the banker's choice candidate and a major flip-flopper. It is sick and disgusting that a fraudster like Romney is supposedly beating a man like Ron Paul. I can't believe it, massive voter fraud had to occur or this wouldn't be happening.
it seems schitzophrenic for paul inc. to keep giving mixed messages and encouraging delegates to waste their time & money when paul inc has already endorsed the enemy. what a bullshiter this weakling ron paul is. Scandalous how his legacy ended.Shocking.

Had the Republican Party allowed for even handed treatment of RP things might be much different but they didn't. RP's popularity sent the Republican party hacks into a frenzy of cheating and deceptive practices that is usually reserved for the OTHER PARTY.
The best thing to come out of the Republican primary season was the obvious truth that the "big tent" is bullshit and what the upper crust decide is good enough for the rest of us. The 2 Party lemmings likely didn't even notice how the Republican Party ostracized Ron at every opportunity - and are now likely to support Romney. However, the majority of Ron Paul supporters, while still participating in the FEDERAL FRAUD, are becoming more aware of the fact that the 2 Party fraud is just that; and this awareness will force them to make future decisions consistent with the knowledge that fairness and honesty do not exist at the FEDERAL level.
In the end we have to consider Ron Paul, A Republican and a FED because that's what he is. He's kept the powder keg from detonation and has also kept many folks interested in the FEDERAL Election process without actually having any real effect upon the (inner circle) party hack's agenda.
Someday they'll have an election and no one will care.
"The few who understand the [FEDERAL RESERVE] system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

Exactly.
People need to quit acting as if their freedom depended on one politician. If that was his role, to get people to depend on him in that way (while keeping them locked in The System which was IMO his real mission), then he was very successful. BUT, will it work again with someone else in paul's place? Will they have learned a lesson from all this crap?
ETA, he could have been manipulated into performing this role. As a person he might be honorable.
You can put me in the camp that makes me wonder if perhaps the best thing that would have happened for "the enemy" is to have allowed Ron to become POTUS.
You could very well be right.

One promising idea for an Obama strategy is to arrange for someone (probably several people) to funnel considerable sums of money to Ron Paul to subsidize his third party run; then he would siphon off votes from Romney and Obama would win with a plurality if not a majority.
Subsidizing third parties to cripple the principal opponent is not new. Back in 1984, when Reagan was running for re-election, the Republicans -- who had so much campaign money they could have burned it in the White House furnace all winter -- funneled money (very carefully) to Jesse Jackson via Louis Farrakhan. Jackson was so hungry for campaign money that he kept his tongue 'way up Farrakhan's lower torso, and somehow refused to ask howcome Farrakhan could come up with all this campaign money when Farrakhan's followers had trouble paying their rent and when Farrakhan usually kept any loose money for himself. Farrakhan, of course, was delighted to have such a prominent leader of the black community (a Reverend no less) sucking up to him so conspicuously. But being joined, ass-to-face, this way meant that Farrakhan felt free to relieve himself of his usual outrageous anti-white, anti-semitic, even anti-American, opinions and Jesse Jackson didn't dare say boo. Everytime Farrakhan said something outrageous the other Democrat candidates denounced him, and by implication Jackson -- but very tenderly because they also wanted the votes of Jackson's constituency, and the Republicans had a free-for-all telling white folks generally, and Jews especially, "If ANY Democrat wins the election, he'll surely appoint Jackson to some important post - maybe at the State Dept in charge of the Middle East!" The money sneaked this way into the Jackson campaign thereby bought Reagan far better results than if it had been spent merely advertising Reagan. Once the 1984 election was over, Farrakhan never again got to handle large sums of campaign money, not for Jackson in 1988 or 1992, not for Obama in 2008, so this one time, in 1984, was clearly the Republicans' doing.
