    Ron Paul: Good News !! Secession is happening

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczyn...ng#.enEVq7A2Wn



    Former Republican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul says secession is happening and it’s “good news.” Paul later predicted the states would stop listening to federal laws.

    “I would like to start off by talking about the subject and the subject is secession and, uh, nullification, the breaking up of government, and the good news is it’s gonna happen. It’s happening,” Paul, the father of potential Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, told a gathering at the libertarian Mises Institute in late January. The event Paul was speaking at was titled “Breaking Away: The Case for Secession.”

    Paul said secession would not be legislated by Congress, but would be de facto, predicting “when conditions break down…there’s gonna be an alternative.”

    “And it’s not gonna be because there will be enough people in the U.S. Congress to legislate it. It won’t happen. It will be de facto. You know, you’ll have a gold standard when the paper standard fails, and we’re getting awfully close to that. And people will have to resort to taking care of themselves. So when conditions break down, you know, there’s gonna be an alternative. And I think that’s what we’re witnessing.”

    Later, Paul said the Federal Reserve would end and the states would stop listening to federal laws they didn’t agree with.

    “The Fed is gonna end. There is going to be a de facto secession movement going on. The states are going to refuse to listen to some of the laws. We’ve seen tremendous success already with states saying to the federal government, ‘We’re not gonna listen to you anymore about the drug laws.’ And they’re getting out of it, and I think the American people are waking up to that, and as far as I’m concerned, the more the merrier.”

    And the rest of the speeches from the same day here. Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods and Jeff Deist were all great. I haven't listened to Brion McClanahan yet.

    The Buzzfeed (OP) made the front page of Drudge.

    Thanks to Matt Drudge

    For running this in the upper-left hand column of his site since at least 6:00pm last light.

    RON PAUL PREDICTS: ‘Going to be defacto secession movement’…
    ‘States going to refuse to listen to laws’…

    Of course, Buzzfeed–to whose article Drudge links–believes that merely noting that Ron agrees with the great classical liberal principle of secession is damaging. But freedom-loving people here and around the world disagree with the regime, and believe in self-determination and home rule. Thanks, BF, however, for adding the full video of Ron’s great talk at our recent Houston Mises Circle.
