    Israel Anderson: Ron Paul has NOT gone to the UN to strong-arm RonPaul.com

    People who would put up their real name while defending or smearing another, putting their own reputation on the line, speaks many folds more than those who would not.

    and why is that?

    Is milking Ron Paul supporters for a multi level marketing scam where milk shake powder and vitamin packs sell for 3x the price of a health food store "trustworthy"?

    Why did Ron Paul's internet geniuses let the domain lapse in the first place? They need to pay a price for that.

    Free Market is only Free and Trustworthy when Doug Wead or Israel Anderson try it, but when the RonPaul.com people do it it's not free and trustworthy. Got it.

    There's a reason Wead laughs so much.

    Nothing about domains is free market from what I can tell.

    It's first come first served, unless we're talking about trademarks.

    If these aren't examples of a "free market" please explain your understanding of the term and why domains are excluded.

    Okay. Watched 1/2 the video. Mr. Anderson's argument seems to be this.

    1) By purchasing a domain name through ICANN, the RonPaul.com owner voluntarily submitted himself to the ICANN dispute resolution process.
    2) The ICANN dispute resolution process may be part of the U.N. but that's besides the point.
    3) Ron Paul is just following that process.

    Okay. So any time a international government agency takes on monopoly powers and a businessman "voluntarily submits" to those powers, it's still within libertarian principles to go to that international government agency to "exercise my rights" under those powers and I'll pretend I'm not actually doing that because the person "volunteered" to the process? WTF?

    My understanding is this one body has a monopoly and you take a domain subject to its precise rules of how you can use it, which rules Ron is claiming under. However, he tried to buy it first at what he thought was market value. Now it is for sale on whosis and if someone else buys it do you really think the value they pay above what Ron would would be based on the site as used to date? Or would it be based on Ron's fame and potential, the precise type of thing not allowed by the domain rules the site owner took it subject to?

    However, while domains seem to be nauseatingly UN free market, that doesn't prevent the two sides from voluntarily negotiating a result to settle it and I really hope they do.

    Okay. I missed the milk shake powder vitamin pack thingy. But I do plan to get into some kind of network marketing myself. The biggest deficiency of this movement is that it's all been about "Send moneybomb donations to the campaign even if you're barely getting by financially". As a group we need to look at ways to help each other become financially independent. Seriously, I've seen somebody post a request for emergency food aid! I ain't mad at the person, but if all we're about is gathering money for some campaign staff to waste spend, what good is that?

    Alright, enough soapboxing. As to your point about the free market, I agree. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. I don't know the full story behind RonPaul.com per se, but people surrounding Ron Paul making 6 figure salaries have been woefully negligent in securing domain names.

    I don't think anyone is milking anyone. In fact Doug has been quote upfront and honest about what he is doing with Isagenix.

    Dunno if anyone in any of Ron's organizations actually owned RonPaul.com

    On a side note, can we discuss how Collins skims off the liberty movement and he doesn't seem to add much value? I find it a little nuts he is saying others are leeching off of RP given his situation.

    I haven't skimmed off the liberty movement, and if you don't know what I actually do, then you must be new here

    What evidence do you have that they are untrustworthy. Your word on this matter is not enough, hard evidence that can be verified is what I am looking for.

    Israel is wrong...he is saying that the Campaign For Liberty staff let RonPaul.com lapse....Ron Paul has never owned RonPaul.com so the Campaign For Liberty staff never let it lapse...The incompetent Campaign For Liberty staff DID let RonPaul.ORG expire, not RonPaul.COM.

    I figure it would be something like that. The moment he stated his name I decided there was no sense in watching it because I don't trust him at all.

    Good god people. The site is worth what its worth. If Ron Paul wants the dang thing buy it and buy it at market price. You can't piss and moan about freemarkets all day long and then think for one minute that the guy who owns it shouldn't get the market price.

    Don't like it buy another #$@!$$%@#$%!#$$@!#$%$^%$^%$!@#$!#$!#@$^%@#^&^*^&*^ %^% website.

    Israel is wrong that Ron Paul is doing the only thing he can legally do.

    Ron could agree to purchase the domain from Tim. Ron could then send Tim a check or even gold.

    Settling the matter privately is certainly an option. Ron is not required to ask for ICANN to intervene.

    He can also use another domain...I offered to give him RonPaul.name

    You might as well use it yourself or give it to someone that can do something with it because I highly doubt Ron cares about it. He seems to think like many that are Internet noobs that ".com" is the Internet.

    Right, Ron could buy it for $250,000 or he could take the better deal of the free ronpaul.org offer and put his site on it and all this could be avoided. Ron most certainly is not doing the only thing he could do, he is doing something that in my opinion seems totally out of character for him.

    It does seem out of character but I don't know all of what happened in negotiations either. But I hope they sides can work out a settlement.

    I suspect that it is people that work for Ron that are behind this. Maybe this is being used as leverage to negotiate a better price. Who knows? If Ron wants the domain that badly I don't see why he doesn't just pay its current market value, even though he can force an ICANN arbitration.

    If the sake of America's future depends upon ownership of a domain name, it is time to start looking outside of the United States regarding the whereabouts of the next advancement of the social contract.

    You know that is not true. This is an important topic here because we are all Ron Paul supporters, at least most of us are, this is ronpaulforums.com after all. No one is saying the future of the USA depends on the resolution of this matter.

    The only way to crush the bones of the enemy that is endangering the United States today is by laying down a foundation of philosophy. This would be the American Movement! Get your minds off the stupid two party system! The two party system wasn't the advancement over the U.S. Constitution! It was the American Movement led by the American transcendentalists later on who saved the Union by returning the people to revering our Founders, to cherishing the new order they declared within The Declaration of Independence, and to honor the laws instituted within the U.S. Constitution they established to further advance that new order!

    This is a fundamental question about whether Ron truly supports private property rights.

    domains are subject to contractual provisions to begin with, however.

    I would like to see the agreement that Ron Paul signed when the .org was in his control. I wonder if it contains the same clause that the current agreements do, which state that failure to pay for the site shall be construed as consent to transfer the site to new ownership.
