Underlying cause of establishment bias?

[idirtify]

I have often wondered if there’s a MORE underlying reason why the whole establishment is so universally biased against RP. Are all the VIPs under some kind of hypnosis from someone who secretly sets these rules, or what? Somebody local said this. Is it legit?

The bigger reason that the establishment is all colluding on the RP media blackout is because of government bonds. The ultra-rich puts their money in government bonds more than anywhere else, essentially “investing” in government. Therefore all the owners of all the big corporations are financially motivated to prop up big government, and of course deliver anti-Paul edicts from top to bottom penetrating throughout their companies and clearly transmitting the threat to all their employee’s to comply or else. It would be like having all your money in the bank that this candidate wants to bankrupt. Of course you would not want him elected.

Anyway, I’m no expert on gov bonds. Does this make sense?

Vested interest combined with a small percent of actual psychopaths explains the status quo pretty well IMO.

The solution is exposure and education.

Yes, but isn’t what I described the essence of your “vested interest”? Or are you agreeing?

Yes, but could what I described help explain Aipec?

Yes ,because I know people who work in Washington D.C. and know that congressmen are fearful of AIPEC. If a house representative or senator speaks against AIPEC or any of the Israeli lobbyists their representative position will get the plug pulled and they will be smeared from local level media all the way to national media and AIPEC is a very dangerous organization because it protects the foreign policy. People fear AIPEC. Through AIPEC people are bought off and I assume threatened as well.

I see two types of people in the media. They are either intelligent people who promote the system the way it is or idiots who promote the system through their ignorance, case in point Limbaugh is an intelligent person who promotes the system or Hannity who is an idiot who promotes it through his ignorance. Those are just two examples on the right side of the spectrum...

If a Ron Paul victory in Ames would have unmasked the straw poll as a colourful but politically irrelevant spectacle, Michele Bachmann's victory ought to have done the same. But it didn't because the MSM likes Michele Bachmann; it made Michele Bachmann. She's a photogenic embodiment of a certain polarising brand of conservatism that makes good copy and great TV. By contrast, Ron Paul is a goofily avuncular non-comformist ideologue who speaks unutterable truths about American foreign policy and delivers incessant indignant harangues about the monetary system that approximately no one in the media understands. I think Mr Paul's influence on the ideological cast of American conservatism has been underestimated and underreported, but to take even his influence, if not his candidacy, more seriously would require the talking haircuts and the newspaper typing corps to wrestle with a charged set of geopolitical and economic topics they would rather continue helping Americans not understand.

This post is a joke right! lol I'm JK!

RP's policies would effectively starve the establishment off in a matter of days, no more restrictions and subsidies from the federal level creates a free market, something not really seen in this country in decades. Also the currency monopoly by the fed would be destroyed and all the friends of the fed, including wall street, the police state, military industrial complex, the media, ( yes they too received bailouts!) big banks, and large multinational companies, would be starved of capital. Not really capital, but phony printing press cash. There is a VERY GOOD reason why the "establishment doesn't want RP to win, they would all be out of jobs, which would be amazing for us, since we could take back the market and secure our liberties once again. Anticipate the pushback to get worse and worse has his poll numbers increase. They own much of the world and will not give it up easily!
