So basically you are helping the smear campaign get a jump-start?
Idiot!
Researching to make sure that the guy you favor isn't in with the wrong crowd is hardly "smearing"...
Perhaps if our parents would have done this same thing we wouldn't have ended up with the bastards we've had.
If there's nothing to find, then who cares?
The other poster said it best...
QUESTION EVERYTHING.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with questioning.
“The important thing is to never stop questioning.” - Einstein is my motto.
HOWEVER, before putting any suggestions out there before you did your research is another thing.
Its like me posting 'RON PAUL PEDOPHILE?' and then start researching.
Its also like the topic the other day about Ron Paul and his so-called 'fake' online campaign. Did you realize how fast this lie got picked up and ripped out of context?
As you could see, it didn't even matter if it was true or not. It got picked up and i am pretty sure there are a lots of people thinking this is true, because most people don't research.
Don't you think you should have done some research and have something to back up the suggestion you put out there?
I am sorry but that is just my 2 cents. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 299916
I think I understand your point.
FWIW, the title of this thread was taken strictly from the article in the Op. I simply added a ? mark so I wasn't suggesting anything.
This article was found --as-- I was researching (I have been for a few weeks now) and yes it did compel me to dig further and in more than one direction. I never said, I agreed with the statements and viewpoints of the author.
You are right many people don't research or follow links to the sources.
That's a shame and this is saddening.
Thank you AC for your 2 cents
...I guess your nickel deflated, huh?

I still haven't found any direct quotes about his childhood or family. Does he have an autobiography?
Is there a youtube of him telling about his childhood, upbringing, etc. I am trying to figure out what put the fire and courage under his arse! The man is 72 years old and so I am sure many thing influenced him along the way. It sounds like he follows the beat of his own drum...
I wikied that he was the child of a German Dairy farmer. He thought of becoming a Lutheran minister like his brothers but decided to practice medicine instead.
I found this article but I'm not sure of the newsreporter's sources of information.
(snip)
As a child, there were no thoughts of revolution in Ron Paul's head -- not even the industrial revolution. The steel mill-lined rivers we all associate with the past wasn't the Pittsburgh Ron Paul knew growing up in the 1930s and '40s. Green Tree then was a lot of farmland, not the suburban hamlet of today.
His family owned the Green Tree Dairy, where he and his four brothers all worked. Each filled the role of milkman at one time or another. Ron started working there when he was 5. "At age 5 I was an inspector of milk, making sure the bottles were clean and spotless and ready for delivery," says Paul, by phone in his soft-spoken aw-shucks manner. "When we went to school in Dormont, all the kids called us farmers, although it was really just a milk operation with no cows."
From there, Paul went to Dormont High School, where he met his wife, Carol Wells. They would be married after he graduated from Gettysburg College. He went to medical school at Duke, and after a stint in the Air Force, he settled in Lake Jackson, Texas, in the late 1960s where he worked as an ob/gyn.
As he began working in medicine, he also started reading economics books that dealt with free-market ideas and very simple principles -- like "don't put out more than you take in." That simple lesson, he says, is one the federal government has forgotten. "We're going to go broke in the country," Paul said at the Cranberry rally. "We are heading for a financial crisis that will destroy the dollar."
He credits former President Richard Nixon's decision to abandon the gold standard as one of the driving forces that got him into politics. Prior to 1971, every dollar of U.S. currency printed was backed by an equal amount of gold, which the holder of the note could redeem at any time. Today, the dollar's value changes relative to other currencies.
"We're just printing money out of thin air, and that's strictly prohibited by the Constitution," Paul says.
In the next few years, Paul deepened his reading on economics and decided to take action. In 1976, he ran in a special election for the seat representing Texas' 14th Congressional District: a heavily agricultural 10-county region of southeast Texas which encompasses Galveston and the Gulf Coast.
Paul won that first campaign, though he didn't hold the seat long: He lost the general election the following fall, and has been in and out of Congress ever since. He served three terms beginning in 1979, then went on a decade-long political hiatus, In 1997, he returned to office after defeating a Democratic incumbent who had recently changed his party registration to Republican.
During his years in the House, Paul has been on more than his share of losing 434-1 votes, thanks largely to his habit of opposing any measure not specifically allowed for by the Constitution.

This is outrageous. Surfin' the net, minding my own business, and BAM...outta nowhere, I run across some paranoid guy who posts a website (the fufor site listed below) about Ron Paul's secret society ties. Amazing and crazy. Suddenly, at this very moment, I realized that all my suspicions about secret societies, the illuminati, new world order, and satanic agendas were off base. They don't exist. Because all this time, while I was worried about Dick Cheney's black helicopters, records of my Google searches, and GPS locators from my cellphone, I realized that I would have KNOWN about this because I would have been, de facto, already a part of the illuminati. Why? Because I have a copy of Atlas Shrugged or Catcher in the Rye? No. Because in 1985, I was initiated into Lambda Chi fraternity.
All that research and attempt at gleaning into the hidden meanings of all those symbols is mind-numbing and a waste of time. I know this because I did the same thing when I associated/pledged. We would speculate all quarter about all the wild knowledge we may be imparted with upon initiation because we knew there must be a reason that LCA is the only ritual of all fraternities (with the exception of Sigma Chi, which is published but in code) that is not published and available for review in the Library of Congress. During Joe McCarthy days, he believed that all collegiate fraternities were Communist and demanded that they all be published. Fortunately, Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur had the guts to stand up to that paranoid, pinheadded, tyrant. (So, now, I guess the popular lunatic fringe assessment is that frats are no longer communist but one world government satanists.)
Once we were initiated, we realized that all that time was wasted filling our imaginations to the rim. Heck, we even thought there was something like the Batcave under the house where a bunch of druidic alumni would get together and for whatever cockamamie reason. Well, there was no cave and no bohemian grove activity.
Since then, I can agree that any organization which asks you to swear oaths is suspect. The apostle Paul says enough about that. But if you really want to know what is behind Lambda Chi, pick up a Bible, and start reading the book of Matthew, starting with chapter 1, verse 1. Then read it again. That's all it is. And for college students, then and now, Lambda Chi can be just as puzzling as for any adult who dares to read the Word and understand it fully.
So anyway, being in Lambda Chi gives no politician an edge. For those who know the Greek system, you may share my view that being a Lambda Chi kind of legitimizes you as an outsider and a progressive. So vote against the man (hillorbamccainhuckabbee) and vote for Ronnie Paul. I'm out. |

I don't know about McCarthy's views on fraternities, but the release of Soviet records proved that McCarthy was right on his major issues. Our press, however, never to be intimidated by facts or the supposed ability of the American public to use them, continues to smear and vilify him.
And I wonder how large a chasm there really is between Communism and Satanism. Wasn't Marx a satanist?

Ron Paul appears in the piece often throughout (the original uncut version) which shows me Ron Paul is just playing the role. He publically praised the Pope also, calling him a "Pro-Life figure". The Pope is only pro-life for Catholics. They are the only "church" according to them and they believe if you are not Catholic and wont convert that you should be killed.

The cross and crescent logo is interesting.
The coat of arms is as well.
I wonder who are Ron Paul's sworn brothers?
Very interesting triangular table here:

Symbols yes, suspicious
The creed...really questionable.
Strange looking shape similar to the masonic symbol also |

I read a post where the OP said R.P. belonged to the Illuminati.
Does anyone know who and what the TRUE Illuminati are and what they believe?
In Majestic's March 10 thread, he says the REAL Illuminati
are the true light workers (good guys)...way back in the beginning.
He claims some have stayed hidden within the Brotherhood, allowing the 'Illuminati' name to be painted as bad, waiting for the right time to step in and take control.
The 'good' guys are everywhere, in politics, secret orgs, etc, and they have been trying to do the best they can to keep things in check.
I believe what Majestic is saying...so, let's consider RP.
Ron Paul...it's kind of strange that he is still a viable candidate in the race, even tho McCain has the needed number of delegates.
According to Majestic, there is a war going on between the good and the bad...the REAL Illuminati and the Brotherhood.
He said there is a coup planned for May 8. That's not to say this will happen, as one can't know what the other side will do.
Ron Paul is in a perfect position to stand up and take over if the good guys win.

(my Special comments in parentheses)
You sir (the author), are a retard. Many of you (those who also left comments), are joining in on this retardation... like seriously?? Are you kidding me???? Satanist fraternity huh??... please. How's about you actually get your thumb out of your ass and do a little bit of research (see research is this thing where you search for "facts" then report them) and then try to form the slightest bit of what might even be mistaken for a hypothesis. You are damn right this isn't a "proper article".. this isn't even complete thought you silly shit! Ok, so you don't like Ron Paul I take it?? So why do you have to make RIDICULOUS assumptions about an entire organization, along with many other organizations of which you know nothing about? (you idiot)
Tell me sir, if you are so "godly" yourself, then how can you judge so many people that you have never even met? Are you so much better than these people?? I believe that any educated person can see right through your immature, and immoral bullshit, and see that the real ignorance and deception is coming from you. "Satanic Agenda"?? (grow up)
btw, this is not a "proper article", and if I had taken more than 5 minutes to write it, I would have done a much better job at ripping you a new asshole. My sources were your blind and utter ignorance, and I found more than enough to suffice. |
