Eric Dondero worked for Rep. Ron Paul for about a dozen years, including the years immediately after 9-11. According to Dondero, there’s more than a trace of Trutherism about Paul:
Ron Paul was opposed to the War in Afghanistan, and to any military reaction to the attacks of 9/11.
He did not want to vote for the resolution. He immediately stated to us staffers, me in particular, that Bush/Cheney were going to use the attacks as a precursor for “invading” Iraq. He engaged in conspiracy theories including perhaps the attacks were coordinated with the CIA, and that the Bush administration might have known about the attacks ahead of time.
Because Dondero has come out with this and more about Paul, including Paul’s anti-Israel views, he is being subjected to some character attacks. But that shouldn’t distract from how well what Dondero writes lines up with what Ron Paul actually says.
K: Okay and one last thing why won’t you come out about the truth about 9/11?
Paul: Because I can’t handle the controversy, I have the IMF the Federal Reserve to deal with, the IRS to deal with because no because I just have more-too many things on my plate. Because I just have too much to do.
That’s not old footage from years ago, it’s from October 2011. It’s the answer of a Truther who either out of cowardice or for strategic reasons, refuses to admit what he really believes. Add in the fact that Paul pals around with the execrable Truther Alex Jones, and the case for Ron Paul as a Truther himself is beyond doubt.
Trust in the government, don’t think for yourselves, we will tell you what to believe.
I’ll believe what I saw with my own eyes, and reject what the Rosie O’Donnell’s and Ron Paul’s of the world believe despite the overwhelming evidence.
You’d rather listen to someone who doesn’t think that fire can melt steel? Ever been inside of a steel foundry, or even seen one on TV?
Instead, I will listen to Popular Mechanics, a well-respected scientific and engineering magazine that’s been around since 1902.
Let’s see, James, we aren’t supposed to listen to the government….hey, wait, doesn’t Ron Paul work for the government? In fact, as an elected Representative, he kinda is The Government. Weird that.
A lot of Libertarians supported President Obama in 08, those are the folks Prof. Reynolds calls “rubes” on his blog. Now Libertarians are fanatically rallying around a man who is a giant distributor of pork for his congressional district. I don’t think libertarian means what they think it means.
In my observation, 99% of libertarians are only libertarian on prostitutes and pot.
exactly
Similar phenomenon to libwits only being generous with other people’s money, and of course, their own benfits.
Legalize hookers and weed and the libertarian party will dissolve overnight. Just like the anti-war protesters who dropped their signs and went home when the draft was ended, their moral outrage is just a front for their hedonism.
The few who are only in it for that will go. The bulk of them are in it for 1776 and will stay.
Idunno if Paul is an out-and-out Truther.
He probably has a lot of suspicions (based on ignorance of the factual details and the usual tendency toward conspiracy theorizing that is common nowadays).
But he also knows that he has a lot of support from Truthers. So he panders to them with winks and nods and hints – and will not say anything to alienate them.
I am pro Israel. But, I question any person or media that belittles so called,’Truthers.’ It’s frightening how people are treated who realize some things from that episode in our history are questionable. Watch 9-11 Press For Truth for representation of the facts have not been provided or were misrepresented by our government.
Any comment that has to start with “I support X, but…” is automatically suspect. Why do you feel you need to defend your stand before you’ve even stated it?
So, thousands of Americans were part of a conspiracy to slaughter thousands of their countrymen, to enrich Halliburton (and the Bilderburgs or something) – and they did all this completely willingly, as none have blown a whistle or spoken of their part in the plot in the decade since.
Yeah, that’s not crazy.
Byron, I am in the construction industry and work with structural engineers all the time. Not a one them thinks the towers were brought down by fire, let alone Building 7.
Something stinks to high heaven in this country because of Big Government. Calling everyone who disagrees with you some kind of name will not restore our integrity or honor. Learn to think for yourself unless you are in their back pocket. Denigrating those who have the courage to think, to question, to challenge is wrong and counter productive. If I’m wrong, prove me to be wrong, calling people names is a sign of weakness in debate. You can be so much better than that.
Islamic terrorists, jumbos, jet fuel, steel, concrete, mass, weight, severely compromised structures and *GRAVITY* don’t mix.
Granted not all libertarians and progressives are conspiracy nuts, by the same token not every major tragedy is an organized government cover-up.
But I’ll give you brownie points if you can personally convince al-Qaeda they played no part on that evil very tragic day (and survive).
And why are you posting on a public website if that’s true?
If Bush’s gubment would murder 3,000 people, what would Obama’s do to dissenters?
If you think a proxy server will save you, you’re dead wrong, the folks at the NSA have plenty of tech to backtrack you… it’s really not that hard to do, because the internet has to know where to send the data to in order for you to see it on your screen.
Nope, if the gubment was behind 9/11, or even a cover-up, you need to move to the hills of Montana and live completely off the grid, including no electricity, water, or sewer… have your mail delivered to general delivery, bike into town every week to pick it up (can’t use a car, they have to be registered & licensed), and be sure to buy a different used manual typewriter (no electricity, remember) every month so that they can’t trace you through the typeface.
If you don’t take those precautions, sooner or later the same gubment agents who executed 9/11 will “disappear” you too. I’m sure you’ve known people who were vocal proponents of Trutherism that have dropped off the map… that’s what happened to them!
(taking tongue out of cheek)
Or, you could just read the Popular Mechanics article I cited earlier. They also talked to structural engineers, and, lo and behold, they found some that disagree with the Truther stance. But I guess, in true moonbat fashion, you’re gonna claim they were in on it.
Did I strike a nerve? Have you actually visited with a structural engineer about this? Or do you believe everything you read? Trust , but verify was recommended by Reauldus Magnus, his advice bears following.
I don’t worry about all of your tongue and cheek bullying. I tell the truth as I see it and can hold my head high. I respect and love all men but fear none. Why so many insults in your posts? Why try to demean my words by demeaning my person? Your opinions carry much more weight when not loaded down with name calling.
Something stinks to high heaven in this great country and all of us know it. It is up to Patriots like ourselves to demand the truth for all to see. Have a great Christmas season, we are not so different, my friend.
Please, don’t say that you’re not so different from me. We couldn’t be farther apart.
I trust the words of a publication that’s been around since 1902 and hasn’t had a hint of scandal in that 100-plus years of publishing.
Can you say that about the Ron Paul Newsletter?
And your stance makes no logical sense. If the government was willing to kill off 3,000 citizens, why not a few more who happened to learn what they did? You should be cowering in fear if you really believed that the government was behind it, as opposed to just using it to score political points.
You pathetic fool! Even a child would know that a steel and a concrete when overheated becomes britle and loses their strenght. That’s exactly how the managemant has schooled me and others when I began working in the Newcastle’s Steelworks in NSW Australia (I’ve worked there for eiht years and I done lots of reading on the subject), something that I have know for a very long time anyway.
It seems that your fellow “structural engineers” are as ignorant as yourself.
Name those engineers. Let’s get them on the record.
Hear! Hear!
Thanks for making my point guys. You couldn’t help from using insults when true facts would have been better.
I particularly find the government tracking threats particularly vile.
Patriots throughout this country are waking up to the fact that their is a pox on both houses of our swollen, corrupt Big Government. Wherever the truth begins or ends, we are being manipulated as individuals and our country is entering into wars for profit for a very few…DoesLibya refresh your memories?
I am not a Republican anymore nor a Libertarian. I am a free individual who knows in my heart that we are on th wrong path. Can’t you see it for yourself? When do we stop the wars? The waste? The removal of God from the public schools, buildings and for craps sake, even from Congressional Christmas cards?
Do you really trust the Charlatans of either party who run this country. Forget the buildings of 9/11. Are you satisfied that they are telling you the truth? Do you not say a prayer every night to your God to ask that our country and our world be delivered from this onslaught of evil? I have woken up. I pray that you will to.
“You couldn’t help from using insults when true facts would have been better.”
Talk about true facts when you have any.
“I am not a Republican anymore nor a Libertarian”
Exactly. You’re a nut
I’m neither a 9-11 truther nor a doctrinaire libertarian. I also think Paul is being too cute by half while dancing around the newsletter issue. Newsletter be damned. I am planning to vote for Paul, assuming he is still in the running when the process comes to Indiana, and again in the general election were Paul to, by some miracle, win the nomination.
Whether or not you think I am a nut, your opinion of me can’t be any lower than my opinion of the mainstream of the Republican Party. Ann Coulter was right about one thing, at least. If Democraps had any brains they’d be Republicans. If Republicans had any brains they’d be libertarians. And if, as some of you seem to think, legalizing hemp and prostitution would make liberarians shut up and go away, I think you’d be surprised by how wrong you’d be. Since Republicans seem to be afraid of real freedom, I doubt we’d ever see such an experiment.
