The Media Hounds Unleashed on Ron Paul -- How the CIA Will Use Liberals to Destroy the Anti-Empire Candidate

“The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” ~William Colby, former CIA director
THOSE DEMOCRATS WHO DON'T KNOW HISTORY, ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT:
When Bill Clinton was first running for President, he had a revolutionary challenger in the Democratic Primary, named Jerry Brown. Brown had been the former Governor of California, as well as the State Chair of the California Democratic Party. He had been revolutionary, pushing hard for labor rights for farmworkers to protect them from agri-industrial poisons, he’d funded those large wind energy projects along the length of California, and had introduced satellite conference calls to California Government. The corporate interests he threatened needed to divorce this man of the people, this man of vision . . . from the people he served so well. So, they called him “Governor Moon Beam.”
The name caught on. What it was in reference to, although few in the media or public looked beyond that funny name as they laughed at Brown, was Brown’s idea of using satellite phone technology for meetings. Rather than having state legislators fly back to Sacremento everytime they needed to meet, they could use this new technology and save time, energy, etc. Of course today, everyone, all companies use this technology, and it was brilliant back then. But, “Governor Moonbeam” was the label some bright boys hired by the corporate powers Brown was slapped with. It made people laugh at him. It worked.
Then years later after serving as California State Chair of the CA Democratic Party, Brown decided to run for President. BUT, he refused to take a donation over $100. WHY? Because he’d learned as State Chair that money had taken over politics. He had raised more money than any other Chair before, but no matter how much he raised, they always needed more. Brown said that in that system you lose touch with real people, real needs. You lose touch with the reality of America, when you only have time to sit down with people who can write multi-thousand dollar checks.
So in his Presidential campaign, Brown lived among ordinary people, depended on them for rides, and broke bread with them at their tables. He refused to accept more than $100 donations from any one person. The corporate media made fun of him.
Then Brown won Colorado, beating Bill Clinton soundly. The foundations of American power were shaken. Almost immediately, Ted Koppel’s Nightline, brought on several anonymous, hooded figures, to character assassinate Brown. It was all lies but Koppel didn’t seem to care, and the public didn’t care. Oh, those who really knew Brown were outraged, but the public bought it. His campaign was ruined, and Bill Clinton, the chosen one, sailed into power so that he could later enable trade agreements that would decimate American labor, and war crimes abroad.
His crimes included ad hoc bombings, boycotts and sanctions designed to starve human beings into submission, and supporting ethnic cleansing in brutal counterinsurgency warfare, and the devastation by bombing designed to return rogues to the stone age and keep them there. Of course it was “all for a good cause” we were told. I bought it. I thought, geez he’s a Democrat, this can’t really be a bad thing.
