Rep. Ron Paul Makes Special Request Of Wikileaks on Fox’s Freedom Watch
Mediaite ^ | 12/04/2010 | Frances Martel

Posted on 12/05/2010 7:29:20 AM PST by speciallybland

Republican Congressman Ron Paul may be Julian Assange’s most loyal supporter in Congress. Visiting Fox Business’ Freedom Watch– a program on which Assange has been welcome several times– Rep. Paul went to bat for the Wikileaker in the middle of condemning the secrecy of the Federal Reserve, and made a little request of his own: “every conversation of the last ten years with the Federal Reserve people.” Chop, chop, Assange!

Rep. Paul, who is also a regular guest on the program, chatted for some time with the injustices of having a “secret government” like the Federal Reserve with Judge Andrew Napolitano, calling the agency “as unconstitutional as it gets” and its practices “immoral,” “wrong,” “bad economics,” and “built on counterfeit money.” In light of the recent diplomatic cables, however, Rep. Paul seems to have found hope that there is a concrete way to take the Fed down:

“What we need is more Wikileaks on the Federal Reserve. Can you imagine what it would be like if we have every conversation of the last 10 years with the Federal Reserve people and the Federal Reserve chairman, with all the other central bankers of the world, and every agreement and quid pro quo that they have? I mean, it would be massive. The people would be so outraged.”

Ron Paul is a loose canon, apparently he’s been drinking too much Kool-Aid.

The Fed had to disclose is $3 trillion skullduggery because Ron Paul managed to get legislation passed requiring these disclosures. Some Kool-Aid.

I'm with Dr. Paul on this one. Too many secrets = too much corruption.

And we are up to our eyeballs in both along with the every growing pile of debts we're on the hook for.

I would be grateful if you would vent your fury in the right direction and quit worrying about Julian Assange and Wikileaks and start worrying about the real threat to our country which is the group of Marxist revolutionaries who are currently yukking it up on martinis and $100 per LB beef in the White House.

Julian Assange is just the messenger. You want to shoot the messenger because you are afraid of the message.

You know he’ll release the doomsday stuff anyway. The question is only if it’s slowly, or all at once.

My frustration is in understanding the big picture and that they are all connected. Using Assange is like letting your opponent get a rook behind your pawns thinking it is no threat to you. They are all part of the same cabal.

You are wanting to let the fox into the hen house thinking he’ll chase away the rats.

I think what we all need is the stark truth staring us in the face so that “we the people” will get off our complacent duffs and chase the rats out for ourselves.

So instead of continuing to call for the legal audit, he now wants to employ criminals using criminal tactics to get what he wants?

The Federal Reserve has been employing criminal tactics since 1913. It's tough to beat a street fighter while limiting yourself to the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.

This is just the tip of the iceberg with this guy that you venerate. Your support is no different than supporting the Rosenbergs or other Soviet spies who stole information.

BS Our now nearly total out of control government is our internal enemy. I do not support any leak that would cause military security to be jeopardized but there is no way to expose our Government that is so corrupt that we could drop into a dictatorship. Maybe you should wake up. Our war is no longer outside the US but right under our nose. Do you not realize how much freedom we have lost and look at the piling on that is still going on. I don't know any other way to get at the guts of this so called current Constitutional Government. Certainly nobody in Government is going to expose themselves. Why don't you give us an answer? I don't like Wikileak dirty fighting but sometimes it has to be done. I quit what I saw in Government after 27 years and in the military for 4 years and could see no way I could do anything.

““What we need is more Wikileaks on the Federal Reserve.” Ron Paul

sounds like treason to me.

3 trillion dollars to prop up domestic and foreign banks from US taxpayers?

The Fed doesn't use money from taxpayers.

I realize that but I also realize that Assange is a tool for the international forces who want to do just this. He isn't a rescuer of lost freedoms, he is part of the cabal that wants to take them away and centralize them.

He has stated in his early manifestos and emails that he is basically a communist who wants to take down the US and forces of the West. He has the same goals as Obama and Soros.. they are playing a much bigger chess game here.

“any release of classified material that may put our military personnel, intelligence communities, national security, allies, etc. - in other words, lives on the line due to the release, should be met with SEVERE CONSEQUENCES for the leakers.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am sick to death of this Wikileaks-risking-the-lives-of-our-troops nonsense.

You want to know who should meet with “severe consequences” for endangering our troops? The politicians, bureaucrats, State Department traitors and globalists who have been sending our men off to die in meaningless conflicts they were never expected to, or allowed to, win.

Since WWII ended they have been entangling our troops in dangerous situations that have truly questionable bearings on “national security,” and then tying the troops’ hands with sadistic rules of engagement.

That Wikileaks is exposing these sorts of shenanigans, and may do so in other arenas, is a breath of fresh air.

You name me one soldier or sailor who dies as a result of Wikileaks. I’ll show you a wall with the names of 50,000 of my generation sent to die for no good reason, and you can add to that list the names from Korea, all the Gulf War I and WOT crap in the Middle East, and all the myriad little skirmishes in Third World backwaters where we lost men for no justifiable reason.

“Assange is no hero who is doing us favors, nor is he a journalist who gets those protections. He is a criminal and a Soros puppet.”

yeah right :/

thats why Wikileaks has been shutdown in the US, shut down in France, banned by Paypal, Interpol has issued a red notice for the arrest of Assange over alleged sexual crime, with that crime being a split condom during sexual intercourse...

And the communists in the King Obama Administration are not doing the same and has damn near got it done. Cannot you see we are war with our Government. What do you think the Tea Party saw. Corruption exposed, which is worst within or outside? Both the damn same to me if we have lost America. By the way, don't hope our new House will save us. Even if they tried it would take many years and will never be complete.

..and if you see the links from some of the other posts I made, you'll see that Assange has worked directly with Obama before. They are playing the same side, even if it seems Assange is "exposing corruption", he is just moving the pieces around the way his handlers want.

You go grrrl. None of the wikileaks info deserve a classified label. It does, however deserve an “embarrassing” label. The structural corruptions it reveals should be prosecuted in real time at real locations by a pissed off citizenry. The elitists and bureaucraps who run this country will soon be dragged to the guillotine by the power of data to speak for itself, freed from the dictatorship of ideologically infused spin and willful self-inflicted ignorance. People who dumb themselves down are the enemy.

I repeat myself one last time. Vent your anger in the direction of the true culprit; The current occupant of the White House and his cronies in the House and Senate.

You are not going to win this argument because you are wrong. Walk toward the light.

I repeat myself one last time, don’t put your faith in Assange, he is a tool of the same people who control the WH and others. They are on the same team. Venting anger towards the current occupant by default, vents towards all of his tools. At that, it is much bigger than the current occupant in the White House.

As I've said to others in this debate...it is akin to siding with Hitler because he opposed Stalin.

Assange is a closet pedophile and a tool of leftists and he is a terrorist...planning on using illegially gained documents to hold hostage countries and people.

Now that he mentions going after some banks, all of the anti-Fed folks are all giddy.

Be anti-Fed all you want, but don't support this schmuck who gets aroused by taking down the United States.
