Ben Swann Seeks To Make History By Raising $1.25 Million Through KickStarter

[TaftFan]

Good luck finding him... you really think he was in HK?

Greenwald apparently went there.

Greenwald apparently went there.

I'm not sure if I believe that. But if he was in Hong Kong, he isn't any longer.

[torchbearer]

Greenwald apparently went there.

the interview could have been done a month ago.
greenwald got the green light to go with it after enough scandals had broken, making it a perfect storm.
this would give time for snowden to relocate to places where the CIA isn't.... which he had info on...
why would he stay down the street from their depot?
mentioning it in the video would be great for trolling the local agents.

Yes, exactly. Snowden had a great sense of timing doing this now with the IRS scandal.

And he chose Greenwald because he knows Greenwald is an ideologue and believes what he writes.

Bump. Kicking some ass right now, up almost $14,000 in 3 hours. Still +repping donations, so let's keep them coming.

[Occam's Banana]

I would highly suggest creating a donation thread where people post proof of their donations, with a running total in the OP. Kind of like what we did back during the moneybombs. I think we can do better than $5k.

DONE: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?417364-Liberty-Is-Rising-Truth-in-Media-project-pledges-thread

Post your pledges in the linked thread, and we'll have one place to keep a running total (and any +repping ...)

I've already included all the pledges from this thread up to this point.

We can do it. I am going to drop $500. We need this project more than ever.

The liberty movement has been asking for this for years, this is our chance. Do not let this point in history pass us by.

I couldn't agree more. Might be the best investment we ever made. If Ben highlights worthy liberty candidates to larger audiences this will pay back a thousand fold. Every dollar donated now, it worth a hundred times that in the future, maybe even more!

[PaulConventionWV]

$3,000 in the hour since I donated, and it hasn't even really been hyped yet.

Though I'm a little concerned too, if he averages $50,000 a day (will be more today, but you know how these things tend to die off at the end), that would take 25 days. He's trying to do it in 16, so might be time to set up a money bomb or something to get the momentum going. (Edit: nevermind, July 26th, so he still has 45 days)

Really wish it wasn't one of those things with a deadline, and a chance that the money might get returned if the goal isn't met, but that just means we need to push.

Apparently some people still don't know how this works.

YOU DO NOT PAY ANYTHING IF THE FULL AMOUNT IS NOT RAISED!

Remember: This is a pledge, not a donation. If the funds are not raised, you lose nothing, so you only pay for it if this thing is actually going to happen. The deadline, however, is still in place, but it looks well within reach, so keep pushing!

[mport1]

Please share this everywhere you can, frequently. We must meet the goal.

Let's prove that the liberty movement didn't end with Ron Paul

When I went to make my pledge, Amazon Payments is asking me to update my "amazon payments" account with my social?! What the hell? I can't pledge unless I provide them with it! It won't go through!

Did anyone else have to do this?

[PaulConventionWV]

Bump.

did not encounter that request.

[PaulConventionWV]

Can someone make a graph of this? Over 45 days we might be able to see a trend develop for certain days of the week, which could help us determine which days the money bombs should be on in 2016.

Are you the same person who posted this in the Facebook event? That is the only other person I have heard that has been asked this.

That's strange. That didn't happen for me, either.

For me, the Amazon part just asked for my regular Amazon login, payment method & billing address confirmation.

Ben Swann was the guest on Peter Schiff's radio show today.

Schiff can be a horrible interviewer, lol.

[TheGrinch]

Wow, up to $95,000. Just when I start to lose my faith in our resolve to look past our differences and do what's right, you all show what we're capable of when we work together.

Let's keep it going folks. The $1.25 million goal doesn't seem so far-fetched anymore.

[KerriAnn]

Yeah, that's me... I don't understand why I'm the only one who has to do this. I tried again just now.

I swear I know what I'm doing. People are assuming I am on some sort of phishing page, but I know I'm not. I am going directly to the kickstarter page from the link here on the forums.

This is bull$#@!. Am I some sort of test subject for Amazon? I really want to donate to this project, but I am not going to give my social to Amazon!

[TaftFan]

Interview Snowden... he'll rake in millions

He told me on FB he is praying for the chance to do so!

Donations stagnated big time. Not sure it will make it unless Ron Paul calls for a moneybomb.

That would be great if Ron Paul did. Kickstarter is more like a 12 round fight than a sprint. Pledges come in waves.

I think it's pretty amazing. I wish we could tap into that enthusiasm with liberty candidates like Greg Brannon. If Brannon raised 95k it would all but assure his primary victory.

Schiff was brutal on poor Ben, sheesh. Did anyone sense a little jealousy in Peter's voice? I think Peter is perturbed his campaign didn't have the same kind of steam behind it.

I thought he had a good point about raising the bar too high.

Right now we are technically on pace to just fund it, but these things really taper off as they go on.
