It’s implied. This isn’t obvious to you? It’s about planting the seed that something’s “off” here. Why even write it otherwise?

Ron Paul doesn’t believe in a fiat currency and the current monetary policies. He is a principled man.

No danger of either being the case though. I’m neither anti-semitic, nor crazy.
