I'm a Ron Paul supporter.  I think that he's the only Republican candidate that has the economic knowledge to get us out of the mess we're in.  If you're interested, here is a recap from last night's debate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjvuHuekq64&feature=youtu.be

Thanks!

Subject: FW: Oh Nooooooooo ............ not Casper ....................... !

I was not aware of his (Cain’s) opposition to a Fed Audit. I thought when he publicly supported Paul that meant he supported his policies. Thanks for the video, back to the drawing board for me, HOWEVER, I have listened carefully to Cain and like most everything I have heard him say. Paul appears to support him. The Tea Party supports him. T-man points out in his first recorded call (3 hours) that the Feds International Payments System is the only System that exist and without it the world would come to a screeching halt immediately. After 100 years of our Monetary System under the control of the “Private Central Bank” it will not be easy or instantaneous to change it. Merging it with Treasury and keeping its internal ‘machinery’ seems the only available option. Also, inquiries to D.C. Politicians ‘on our side’ say the FED is far more answerable to our Government than anyone realizes, even handing over profits to Treasury. True or false the bigger issue I think is what happens to the world if ‘we’ get our way, Fiat ends, Metals backed rises. If there were no ‘Programs’, if ‘we’ had no dog in this fight (our funding), how would we feel about the demise of the funny money system and a return to the limitations of a ‘real money’ system. Have we considered what the accompanying “austerity” would mean? For a year or more I have tried to see the world through ‘their’ eyes to try to understand the intensity of their protection of the status quo. Laying aside for the moment matters of personal power and greed and blocking exposure of corruption, what is it that causes the G-5 to prefer private or independent ownership of their country’s monetary systems? What I see is that the ‘Original Mistake’ (The Fed Res Act) is a different thing all together from the decisions that must be made today that result from the ‘inheritance’ and hundred year use of that system. Taking it down on day one, month one, year one is an entirely different consideration than taking it down a hundred years later after the world has constructed itself upon that system. It comes down to, I think, IMO, a question of the living standards of the people. The existing Fiat system, the ability to create from thin air, to ‘fractionalize’, and the benefits derived from first use of money, all combine to result in a standard of living for the American people far greater than would have been achieved with a ‘real money’ system. Are we better off in our personal lives with or without credit cards is an analogy. In simple terms our people were the beneficiaries of decisions made by the Money Powers. The world was conned into the necessity of warehousing Fed Funds. That recognized, Politics and Power and ‘Control’ of the world must be considered as it was at stake during times of crisis and world wars. Without the power of the “Printing Press’ would ‘The West’ have come out on top? No one can say with accuracy how hypothetical different decisions might have changed outcomes.  So now we have mismanaged ourselves into the dumpster, abused the privileges afforded us as manager of the world’s reserve currency and the world has realized that auto’s and T.V.’s for depreciating paper script is a bad deal and now the Western World finds itself ‘on the ropes’. But the question I am raising is, what would we have done, you and I, under the circumstances? Opt for control of the world and inflated living standards for our people or trust in Lenin, Hitler and Mao to ‘play fair’. I am coming to the conclusion, slowly, that our ‘leaders’ did the best they could given the circumstances of the day, that ‘We The People’ benefited greatly from their decisions, that it’s a new day with new decisions to be made under different circumstances, and that today we can kick and scream with the benefit of  20/20 hindsight not available to them then regarding the outcome of decades of abuse of money creation from thin air. Does this mean I’m with Cain, that the Fed should not be audited or that Fiat should go on forever? Absolutely not, just that the considerations involved far exceed the ‘sloganeering’ we all participate in. Back to Cain, I think he is a true conservative. I have contacts who have known him personally for years and met with him recently who think the world of him. Romney and Perry are owned outright by the establishment that owns Obama.  Bachman, Huntsman, Santorum can’t be elected.  Christie, Huckabee, Palin, Pawlenty and Trump are out. Who does that leave? Newt, Paul and Cain? I supported Paul last time, sent money, raised money. My son was a guest in his home several times. He is not electable, IMO, due to his foreign policy positions. America cannot just up and walk away from commitments made over decades. It’s not that his views about ‘how things should be’ are wrong, just that we can’t turn back the clock on previous decisions and commitments any more than we can turn back the clock on previous Monetary System decisions made over decades. Obama would have Paul for breakfast, or better said, ‘The Establishment’ and it’s MSM would have Paul for breakfast. “The World”, from Israel to Japan, from Pakistan to India to South America would come out against Paul publicly so as not to lose their ‘flow of funds’. He is 75 as I recall, 80 soon enough. It’s too much to overcome.  His place, in my opinion, is Treasury Secretary from where he can implement his policies without the magnifying glass of the Presidency affecting his every move. That leaves Newt and Cain. Newt left his wife in her hospital bed to run off with Ms. Ugly who has a Million Dollar line at Tiffanies. He is the most brilliant and the best qualified, too much personal baggage, IMO he can’t be elected. That leaves Cain who needs some ‘straightening out’. He may also be ‘in the pocket’ of the Establishment. Whoever is elected President of The Corporation of The UNITED STATES is or soon will be in their pocket when they have ‘the facts of life’ explained to him/her (do you recall what Clinton said as he moved into the Oval Office? “So you are telling me that my entire Presidency is dependent upon a bunch of G.D. Bond Holders?”) . The answer may be that ‘WE’ get funded outside their system, the Fiat System, which eventually implodes in a hyper-inflationary blow off as a result of what they are doing to extend the life of something that has no legitimate life left. Is it not reasonable to think that monetary failure will simultaneously take down ‘The Corporation’ in partnership with it, creating a new and different opportunity for Paul and others like him?  Just speculating.  Thanks for the video. Will re-evaluate.   casper
