Ron Paul Revolution: Wunder oder Traum? Im Internet formiert sich eine Gegenmacht zu den etablierten Medien von Robert Grözinger Letzte Woche hat Fabio Bossi in diesem Blog beschrieben, welche massiven Schwierigkeiten die deutschen Medien bei der Einordnung des US-Kongressabgeordneten Ron Paul, Mitglied der Republikaner und Präsidentschaftskandidat, Libertärer und Konservativer, Kriegs- und Abtreibungsgegner, haben. Aber nicht nur sie, auch die Mainstream-Medien in den USA selbst haben diese Probleme. Dieses Verhalten hat mit der Tatsache zu tun, dass sämtliche dieser Medien den Irak-Krieg hundertprozentig unterstützt haben und nun wissen, dass sie hundertprozentig getäuscht wurden, dies aber aus Gesichtswahrungs- und anderen Gründen nicht zugeben. Die Stimmung im amerikanischen Volk ist jedoch längst deutlich gegen den Krieg eingestellt, und diese Einstellung wird die Wahl massiv beeinflussen. So weit wie möglich versuchen diese Medien deshalb, Paul zu ignorieren. Reuters zum Beispiel titelte nach der ersten Debatte aller republikanischen Kandidaten im Fernsehen: „Die Präsidentschaftskandidaten von 2008 unterstützen den Krieg“ – kein Wort davon, auch nicht im Haupttext, dass Ron Paul als einziger Kandidat den Irak-Krieg ablehnte, dies schon vor dem Krieg tat, und dies auch in der Debatte erwähnte. In CNN ließ sich Arianna Huffington, eine bekannte Kolumnistin, kurz nach der Debatte zu der Falschaussage hinreißen, daß alle 10 Kandidaten den Krieg unterstützten, ohne in der Talkrunde Widerspruch zu ernten. Wenn die Medien Paul erwähnen, dann nur en passant oder in herablassender Manier. Oder sie bezweifeln, wie der Sender ABC, die Echtheit der Unterstützung Pauls im Internet. Erst hatte dieser Sender ihn gar nicht auf seiner Online-Umfrageliste. Doch dann gab es eine „Eruption im Netz“, und er wurde gelistet – und gewann die Umfrage nach der Fernsehdebatte locker – ebenso wie bei MSNBC, wo dann aber rätselhafterweise verkündet wurde, ein anderer Kandidat (Mitt Romney) habe die Debatte gewonnen. Einige Tage später hatten dort 11.000 für Paul gestimmt, der nächstbeste, Rudy Giuliani (den Lew Rockwell in seinem Blog gelegentlich auch „Benito Giuliani“ nennt) kam bis dahin nur auf 150 Stimmen. Nachdem aufgrund der einseitigen, gegen Paul gerichteten Berichterstattung eine Diskussion auf der ABC-Website entbrannte, wurden die diesbezüglichen Kommentare – mehrere hundert – kurzerhand komplett gelöscht. Doch die Unterstützung der Netzgemeinde für Paul ist echt – das wundert auch nicht, ist er einer der wenigen US-Politiker, die gegen staatliche Schnüffelei im Internet und kompromisslos für die freie Rede eintreten – also für Dinge, die Internetnutzer bewegt. Und deshalb auch ein offenes Ohr für seine anderen ur-libertären Positionen haben. Dass er sich damit auch gefährliche Feinde macht, ist sicher. Denn Paul ist nicht nur erklärter Gegner des Krieges und des Wohlfahrtsstaats, sondern auch der Bundes-Einkommenssteuer und der Zentralbank (er will eine Rückkehr zum Goldstandard). So bekommt er aus dem Establishment natürlich kein Geld, sein Wahlkampfbudget beträgt derzeit einige Hunderttausend Dollar; andere Kandidaten führen mit solchen Beträgen vielleicht die Portokasse. Eine Gruppe von Menschen in Arizona hat sich daher entschlossen, diesen Mangel an finanzieller Unterstützung durch Arbeitskraft, Einfallsreichtum und (wiederum) Internet-Präsenz auszugleichen. Ergebnis ist die „Ron Paul Revolution“. Das Logo dieser Bewegung, die nicht dem offiziellen Wahlkampf-Team Pauls angehört, ist schlicht genial (siehe den Link unten). Laut ihrer Website taucht ihr Schild inzwischen „überall im Land auf“. Dennoch ist es derzeit sehr zweifelhaft, ob Paul das Ziel, offizieller Kandidat der Republikaner zu werden, erreicht. Obwohl er eine Online-Umfrage nach der anderen gewinnt, gehört er in den „echten“ Umfragen immer noch zur „ferner liefen“-Gruppe. Nach der erwähnten Fernseh-Debatte konnte er seine Zustimmungswerte zwar verdoppeln – jedoch lediglich von 1 auf 2 Prozent. Und selbst wenn er, wie durch ein Wunder, Kanditat oder gar Präsident würde, ist überhaupt nicht abzusehen, wie er den etatistischen Dschungel, der das politische Amerika inzwischen geworden ist, ernsthaft lichten kann. Entweder werden wir also Zeuge eines Wunders, das das deutsche Wirtschaftswunder um ein Vielfaches übertrifft, oder wir nehmen den letzten Seufzer des amerikanischen Traums wahr.

The sequel: Ron Paul Revolution II: Das Establishment in der Defensive. I shall post it in a few minutes.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Ron Paul Revolution: Miracle or dream? - revolution miracle or dream Published: May 14, 2007 Author: Robert Grözinger Ron Paul Revolution: Miracle or dream? In the Internet a counterweight is formed to the established media by Robert Grözinger Last week described Fabio Bossi in this Blog, which substantial difficulties the German media with the classification of the US congressional representative Ron Paul, Mitglied of the republicans and presidency candidate, Libertärer and conservative, war and abortion opponent, to have. But they, also the Mainstream media in the USA do not only have these problems. This behavior has to do with the fact that all of these media did not support the Iraq war by hundred percent and now to know that they were by hundred percent deceived, this however from face protection and other reasons to admit. The tendency in the American people is however long clearly adjusted against the war, and this attitude will affect the choice substantial. As far as possible these media try therefore to ignore Paul. Reuters for example titelte after the first debate of all republican candidates on the television: „The presidency candidates of 2008 support the war “- no word of it, also not in the main text that Ron Paul rejected the Iraq war as an only candidate, this already before the war did, and this also in the debate mentioned. In CNN Arianna Huffington, could a well-known Kolumnistin be hinreissen to harvest briefly after the debate to the wrong statement that all 10 candidates supported the war, without in the talc round contradiction. If the media mention Paul, then only EN passant or in letting down manners. Or they doubt, like the transmitter ABC, the authenticity of the support Pauls in the Internet. Only this transmitter did not have it at all on its on-line inquiry list. But then there was one „eruption in the net “, and he had won listed - and the inquiry won after the television debate loosely - just like with MSNBC, where then however puzzling-proves one announced, another candidate (memo Romney) the debate. Some days later had tuned there 11,000 for Paul, the next-best, Rudy Giuliani (occasionally also „Benito Giuliani “calls the Lew Rockwell in its Blog) came up to then only on 150 voices. After due to the one- sided reporting directed against Paul a discussion was inflamed on the ABC Website, the relevant comments - several hundreds - were completely deleted short hand. But the support of the net municipality for Paul is genuinly - also, is he does not surprise one of the few US politicians, who occur against national Schnüffelei in the Internet and compromiseless for the free speech - thus for things, which Internet user moves. And therefore also an open ear for its different ur-libertären positions have. The fact that it makes itself thereby also dangerous enemies is safe. Because Paul is not only avowed opponent of the war and the welfare state, but also the federal income tax and the central bank (he wants a return to the gold standard). Thus he gets no money, its election campaign budget from the establishment amounts to natural at present some hundredthousand dollar; perhaps other candidates lead the petty cash with such amounts. A group of humans in Arizona decided therefore, this lack of financial support by worker to adjust Internet operational readiness level imaginativeness and (again). Result is „the Ron Paul Revolution “. The Logo of this movement, which does not belong to the official election campaign team Pauls, is simply ingenious (see the left below). According to their Website dips their sign in the meantime „everywhere in the country on “. It nevertheless is at present very doubtfuly to become, whether Paul the goal, official candidate of the republicans, reached. Although it wins an on-line inquiry after the other one, it belongs in „the genuine “inquiries still to „furthermore ran “- group. After the mentioned television debate it could double its agreement values - however only from 1 to 2 per cent. And even if it, as by a miracle, a Kanditat or a president became, is not to be foreseen at all, how it can clear the budgetistic jungle, which became the political America in the meantime, seriously. Either become we therefore a witness of a miracle, which exceeds the German Wirtschaftswunder around a multiple, or we notice the last sigh of the American dream.

I used Google to translate this. I did change the German translation of Huffington back to her name. That was funny in the original translation. You can see the meaning past the bad translation. All I could decipher was the title, Miracle of Dream. I have studied 4 foreign languages and cannot use one of them where I will be living if Ron Paul does not win in 2008. If Michael Blommberg, Hillary, Giuliani or Thompson win, we are done for.

Hahaha, reading the translation was fun. Always thought there was something weird about the way one of my German clients talked until I realized she was using German sentence structure. It hit me when she said the dog "was all the time barking". Her husband was one of my heroes, God rest his soul. He was one of the scientists we brought over after WWII. Chemist, he made all of our rocket fuels.
Thanks for the translation. The piece is a bit long for me to try to translate.

So, where you relocating to? I'm currently leaning towards Europe, maybe Germany or France.

I would rather not say which country yet. I would love to go to Europe but that new EU constitution which is being adopted as a treaty to bypass voting really scares me. And Tony Blair as EU President? Sarkozy the Zionist President of the Israeli French Republic scares me enough to saty out of France even though French is one of my 4 foreign languages. Forget about England. They allow the Mossad and MI5 to blow up subways. I have a profession I can practice in Asia - (not teaching English)- so I will not worry about the collapse of the dollar. I would strongly suggest that no one consider living in a country that does not have food security after the dollar collapses. If 20 to 30% of the population has no food, you will not be safe. I stand by my original calculation that the dollar will be toast by 12-31- 2009 - sooner if President Stupid attacks Iran.
So, where you relocating to? I'm currently leaning towards Europe, maybe Germany or France.
