Ron Paul the Media and You

      In 1977 Carl Bernstein wrote an article titled The CIA and the Media in Rolling Stone magazine in which Bernstein concludes that the media had been Shanghaied by the Central Intelligence Agency prior to 1953. In this expose, Bernstein states:

The history of the CIA’s involvement with the American press continues to be shrouded by an official policy of obfuscation and deception for the following principal reasons:

■ The use of journalists has been among the most productive means of intelligence‑gathering employed by the CIA. Although the Agency has cut back sharply on the use of reporters since 1973 primarily as a result of pressure from the media), some journalist‑operatives are still posted abroad.

■ Further investigation into the matter, CIA officials say, would inevitably reveal a series of embarrassing relationships in the 1950s and 1960s with some of the most powerful organizations and individuals in American journalism.

     Obfuscation indeed! Clearly whether you agree with Mr. Bernsteins assessment or not, I think it pretty clear that the entire mainstream media starting with the New York Times right on down the line is not working in the greatest interest of the general public as their watchdog, but rather for other monied and connected interests as a lapdog, which is obviously why blogs such as this one have come into existence to counter those mainstream obfuscations. That all said brings me to both the 2008 and current 2012  elections where I have witnessed the most alarming and blatant blackballing of a candidate in my entire life and in which comedian Jon Stewart was forced to ask, and rightly so  " How did libertarian Ron Paul become the 13th floor in a hotel?  I find it amazing that today we get more honest reporting from a comedian than the media. This shouldn't surprise anyone in fact I think it goes much deeper than the CIA controlling the media I believe it goes all the way to the true rulers of everything that is via wealth, including the creation and control of the Federal Reserve, the Rothschild Banking cartel. Whether you believe that or not one cannot deny that something is amiss when you observe the blatant marginalization and out right denial of a man that is clearly a top tier candidate by both his honsety and stances on what the role government is and how he rubs the entire media establishment, his own Republican Party and the Democrats as well, the wrong way. This in and of iteslf compels my interest in Congressman Paul as the best candidate out there for the simple reason that if he has those already questionable entities so scared by his candidacy, there must be a reason for it and that sets him apart from the traditional minion candidates the mainstream press is currently swooning over.

Looking back at Congressman Ron Paul who is also an Obstetrician that has delivered over 4000 babies into the world it is boasted, I find a person  that has been both consistent in his beliefs, no matter how in conflict with mainstream endorced and indoctrinated thought processes were, but also someone that sticks to his guns on the issues with courage, honesty and integrity.

My father being a die hard Democrat all his life who personally knew JFK, Harry Truman and Chicago's  Mayor Daley (the first)   would shudder if he thought I would actually consider voting for a Republican candidate for president. Personally, I don't look at it this way at all as Ron Paul is a Libertarian first that was smart enough to realise that our two mainstream parties  of the Democrats and the Republicans have themselves been confiscated into by the monied interests and that running as an Independant candidate would be fruitless without a billion dollar bank account to allow him access into the tightly controlled debate system as it now exists.

Those of you that go to blogs for your information because you know what I am saying has substance, should all take another look at Ron Paul every time he is put down, criticized or ostracized by the mainstream powers that be, and should research the facts yourselves rather than believe the portrayal of Congressman Paul by those who seem to fear his candidacy so much. Like all candidates, I don't agree with Congressman Paul on everything but I do know that he is clearly the man with my own best interests at heart and I believe should with resonate with any sensible and intelligent individuals who think that this government with all its out of control economy, spy agencies, secrets, CIA renditions and assasinations, war and destruction along with cronyism and corporatism to sway you from your usual partisan restraints.
