Ron Paul: Journalists Could be Next Assassination Targets

[OV Man]

Presidential candidate Ron Paul seems to be the only person in the country speaking out against the killing of American citizen and al-Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki. But Paul said people better smarten up because if the government can kill one U.S. citizen, who is next? Speaking to the National Press Club on Wednesday, Paul theorized that it could be the media.

Once again, the media fails.

Ron Paul seems to be the only politician in America without amnesia.

G. Gordon Liddy and the Nixon White House openly admitted to plots involving the assassination of journalist Jack Anderson.


An exclusive excerpt from Poisoning the Press reveals that White House operatives explored the murder of investigative journalist Jack Anderson, who had broken many embarrassing stories.

The Nixon operative knew exactly who to contact to get the job done. He began with his sidekick G. Gordon Liddy, who had just been transferred to the Nixon campaign's intelligence operation and was “forever volunteering to rub people out,” as Hunt put it.

Liddy wasted little time before expounding on the obvious solution to his latest White House assignment: “They charged us with the task: ‘Come up with ways of stopping Anderson.' We examined all of the alternatives and very quickly came to the conclusion [that] the only way you're going to be able to stop him is to kill him.”

In 1980, Liddy published an autobiography, titled Will, which sold more than a million copies and was made into a television movie. In it he states that he once made plans with Hunt to kill journalist Jack Anderson, based on a literal interpretation of a Nixon White House statement "we need to get rid of this Anderson guy".[10][11]

I'm pretty sure they know this. Otherwise why would they be so scrupulously 'playing ball'? I mean, just look at how hard they've been spinning the VVS straw poll win. Does that look to you like the work of someone who is putting their avowed profession and their personal and professional reputations above the requirements of the Powers That Be?

Hell, just the fact that he said it publicly in a room full of them and not a single one of them has publicly denied it speaks volumes.
