Neil Cavuto: There are frequent calls for America’s military to start intervening, should it? Ron Paul, the former Republican Congressman and presidential candidate, says no, be careful, be very careful. Congressman, what do you think of this?
Ron Paul: I think it would be foolish, I think what we have been doing for so many years has been very foolish. I think that they ought to try to understand what blowback is all about and what the CIA has talked about and what Michael Scheuer has demonstrated so often in his work in the CIA. It’s just way too much, it hurts us to no end. One of the points I made when I gave my last little talk on the House floor, was that one of the trends that we’re probably facing was violent anti-Americanism, and it’s engulfing the world, and I think this is what’s happening over there. We have a mess in Egypt now, and we don’t know exactly what we’re supposed to be doing in Syria, and we end up supporting the bad guys. And even Hillary had an expression for it: “How did we know the bad guys were going to get these things?” And I think what’s happening in Mali right now with these hostages spun off from us getting involved in Libya and getting rid of Gaddafi. So one thing leads to another, and I just think that all these problems that we have make my case very clear, that we should have followed the Founders’ advice of staying out of entangling alliances and staying out of the internal affairs of other nations, mind our own business and save a dollar now and then, because we’re flat out broke.
Neil Cavuto: Well, the argument you get back, as you know, Congressman, is that we’ll regret that, because we essentially give the bad guys free run. Now the argument against what they were just claiming is that, well, terrorist are not idiots, they can pack up and leave. So if things get dicey for them in Afghanistan or Pakistan, apparently they move to Mali or Algeria or what have you. But they seem to be pretty good at movement. So I guess the bigger question is, should we do anything about that, or do we just let them brazenly grow unobstructed.
Ron Paul: Well, what we have to decide is why we have the problem. If we come down on the side that it’s spontaneous and they hate Americans, there’s Al-Qaida that kill us and they don’t like our prosperity and they don’t like our freedoms, maybe we should keep chasing them. But if the problem of these threats towards us and the disruptions is because we’re involved, then the answer is to be less involved.
Neil Cavuto: But what if it’s a little bit more than that, Congressman? I know you and I had a chat about this before; what if they really do hate us, they hate everything we stand for, and they really are all about … whatever our overtures towards the Muslim community are like, that they’re all about disgruntles, they just can’t stand us, they want us dead.
Ron Paul: Well, they might ask the same question, what if we didn’t hate Muslims? I mean, we have to build up a lot of hatred for us to go 6,000 miles away and kill people with drones, and this is where the conflict is coming. We have to beat the drums of war and this hatred that we have to go over and do these things. And then, all of a sudden, we have an epidemic of suicides of American soldiers who come back feeling, “What am I doing over here shooting these drone missiles, and little kids are dying and innocent people dying”. And now more people die from suicide, our soldiers are committing suicides. So I think it’s a failed policy, it doesn’t accomplish anything, and we don’t understand it. As long as we don’t want to look … we’re either in denial or we don’t want to understand it. But the CIA actually helps us on this to explain why there is retaliation, and if we don’t accept that, this is going to get much worse. And there are predictions that right now just because they haven’t hit us here at home, doesn’t mean that they’re starting to like us anymore. I think the problem is growing, it’s going to get a lot worse as long as we think we’re the king of the world.
Neil Cavuto: Ron Paul, thank you very much, I think.
Processing your request, Please wait....
While I agree with you… Hope and $1.50 will get you a coke (and a democrat). (Remember when that old saying was a lot less inflated.)

Your Hindu sentiments are step above the Christian American sentiments, who believe abortion killing is against God, but war killing is God’s will. F’kd up for so-called Christ-like people. (Christ who acted much alike a pacifist and a libertarian.)

They don’t even have an army… Why are we policing them? Give them freedom… don’t bail them out… Let them make their own country, if it attacks us, we bring the onslaught. Otherwise, let them have civil wars, and build law and sovereignty.

Its because people, even Ron Paul fans, often don’t understand the evils and myths of a 2 party system. A VOTE FOR EITHER ONE IS A VOTE FOR TYRANNY. They have ruled for the past 150 years… they are to blame for the loss of civil liberties (1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th and re-interpreted a standing militia.) They are to blame for the wars, and violations to the constitution (undeclared since WWII). So, when he lost primaries, people voted for lesser of 2 evils… this will always be negative to us.

If you mean that “he who controls the currency controls the country” is he who is king. Then, it is true that the Federal Reserve is headed by a lot of jews. Are they Zionists, or just want to see their people succeed? I don’t know. Do they want America to fail, and Israel to leach its former glory? I don’t know. But I’m studying…

True, and unfortunately so. Many other sick countries agree that America is king, because it has the military might to do whatever it desires. But… Those same countries would believe they are King, were they in the same situation. But “the King” is sick… and his country is starving (jobless, and underpaid), his Lords will suck the land and people dry then move to rule a new group of peasants (the ever-growing China perhaps).

Serious? One dude is politics believes in the freedom of american people, not ruled by wall street, the military industrial complex, or central bankers… and you agree that the world should be fighting senseless wars started by the CIA, so that freedoms can be lost for the sake of a few rich getting richer? You’re no patriot if you haven’t studied your history. Open a book (one that existed before FOX did).

Him being president would not be enough. It would help a lot though. But everyman in congress should be covered in Lobbyist company labels, like Nascar drivers. This way we could know who they represent for sure, every time they open their scheming mouths. Our congress is bought out, our presidents are bought through campaign financing, and they elect the supreme court… its all fixed so that money wins. It doesn’t matter if you have a few clear heads. Gotta fix the laws again…

When its not clearly a moral war, its clearly an immoral one. Moral war being self defense. US military are filled with well meaning patriots as well as thugs and bums with nothing else to do. But they end up trained mercenaries for corporate desires. This is why I believe the draft, and perhaps mandatory service is necessary. It doesn’t let the shit happen in secret. If everyone does it, everyone will see what really goes on, this will force change faster than anything.

I totally agree. But, to hold the border requires more than just taxpaid bullets and men. It requires social changes for our country, and for that of mexico. The first being to Win the War on Drugs, by legalizing them. We then decrease gun related death in the US by almost 80%. Gangs disperse, taxes can be collected sales of new controlled substances, Cartels become less dangerous and forceful on our borders, then it is easier and more affordable to control.

If you look deep enough behind processes and motives, its all warfare of the rich and welfare for the poor, whether it be by dictator, monarchy, or democracy. It is now waged by globalists who are richer than the “leaders” of countries. But there is not just one gang of global rulers, they eat away at eachother’s territories. They invite partnership with those they cannot defeat. It looks exactly like historical warfare, just higher tech and less visible rulers.

The rational reason to hate us is our intervention. It’s been going on for decades. We install puppet governments who in turn oppress their own people, not to mention ‘savage’ their rights. Not to mention that the US is responsible for killing MILLIONS of people (mostly innocent) abroad in this ‘War on Terror’. They hate us because we occupy their homeland while killing scores of their civilians…not because of our freedoms.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
“True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

“An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.”
Thomas Jefferson
I would think that our involvement in foreign affairs were we should not be is the reason we get so much hate for ourselves.
To have People who actually bother with us when we gave no reason for them to do so other then us existing sounds absurd.
but the USA trying to be the police of the world and getting involved in others country’s affairs were we should not be as the reason for the hate we get, I can believe.

Ron knows some folks are a lost cause. The only reason he keeps repeating this stuff is to go on record for the people of liberty, who one by one are waking up. He makes the sad but true connection to the increased suicide rate of the troops. There is no honor in a purposeless war and it is depressingly painful to realize the truth about your country first hand. You signed up believing your country is the big savior of the world, freeing people from evil…then you see those families bombed.

Robin,
Jesse Ventura is for real. Believe in him. If I heard what he said on WHAT? I do not know what you are talking about.
As for the rest of your comment, I already know all of that. I’ve posted links to numerous interviews on all these subjects on this site. And YES, Sandy Hook is a false Flag, no doubt about that.

Where is three John Kerry of the war on terror? Where is the soldier to campaign against this war? Where is the soldier to come home and speak out about the war crimes they were forced to commit? Has the U.S. Military truly brainwashed them into believing it is okay to kill unarmed men and women and children? We need some soldiers to show the same courage at home that they showed in battle and SPEAK!

French Canadian, The drama continues surrounding Sandy Hook, and how the story continues to change. I don’t understand how people can dismiss this as just what happens in a crisis situation. I talked to a young father who said all he had to do was watch the news conference with the father and that he went from smiling and laughing=appeared that he had not suffered at all, and that he was reading off a cue card. I am hoping that people continue to collect information if the media does not. The point I try to make to people is that they want to ban assault weapons based on the fact the media/medical examiner, etc. said that’s what was used. Now the story has changed. How can one not believe there was agenda, but I’m afraid most people do? Did you listen to what Jesse Ventura had to say? Your thoughts on that. We have always suspected that he is just another disinfo agent as a former navy seal. As far as Algeria, the American who died was a relative of a friend of mine. Over vacation we had this discussion about our presence in other countries and blow back. That our state department and CIA use terrorists to take down leaders of countries and kill innocent civilians including children and that’s what they did in Iraq, Libya and now Syria-also in Iran and elsewhere. We have recognized that they have been unsuccessful in Syria, so seem to be taking a detour for now and moving on to Africa as planned. I recently shared the interview with General Welsley that he did after 9/11 about the plan that he was told during the Bush administration to take down a number of countries. Of course, one has to ask whether we aided these terrorists to justify the war on terror and invade Mali to seize the gold there. Drag the US into this with military aid, financial support, etc. One always has to look at the back story about how Germany asked for their loan back from the New York Federal Reserve and The Bank of France. There are many Oregon sheriffs that have had the courage on where they stand if they are asked to confiscate people’s guns. We know where our sheriff stands, although he has not joined them in announcing it publicly. We try to share information with him when we can.
