i had never heard of Ron Paul,
until i heard that someone was trying to censor Ron Paul...
The Streisand Effect kicked in, and so i wanted to hear for myself, what Ron Paul had to say...
and the things that Ron Paul said, kinda blew me away, and it puzzled me greatly as to WHY the media was actively censoring him.
the censorship, un-personing, the de-platforming, was every day.
if there was a TV news poll of leading candidates, Ron Paul's name would "accidentally" get left off the poll.
Ron Paul would be excluded from debates, etc.
They even went so far, as to fabricate a "Santorum Surge" to artificially inflate Rick Santorum's Iowa Caucus poll numbers into 2nd place, as a way to keep Ron Paul out of 2nd place,
but when you go back, and listen to what Ron Paul says, on almost any subject, you will find that he has a very intelligent, well-informed opinion on the matter.
and thats why he was a threat to the establishment,
and thats why he was censored constantly,
and thats why i had never heard of Ron Paul...
I was an organizer. Got to meet him in Philly in 2007 or 8.
Ron Paul supporters had the best online game i have ever seen. They were able to take something small, and make the most of it.
Ron Paul supporters would search for NEW posts, or videos, and then share them.
contrast this with a half-hearted supporter who is only an opportunistic share-er, meaning they will maybe share a video if they happen to see it while bored-scrolling, but they won't go actively looking for new material every day
Early days of meetup.com it was just a Ron Paul site, more than half of the groups back then were the r3volution
so was reddit. it was /DIY and RP all the way. until shortly after when many of us were banned.
Yeah before Barry lol
i know BHO isn't popular here, BUT,
keep in mind, that in 2007, i KNEW that Hillary Clinton was going to be elected President in 2008, because thats what the MEDIA kept implying, on their long-running narrative on Presidential election.
this irritated me greatly, because not one single vote had been cast, in one single (Iowa) Caucus or State Primary, and yet the MEDIA narrative was that "Madam President" was a foregone conclusion.
the media just really over-played their "Hillary is inevitable" narrative.
and so, as luck would have it, as I'm sitting there, stewing about the fact that i live in a fake democracy,
my uber-lib sister comes to visit, and is GUSHING about this Democrat candidate named Barack Obama, and how i need to check him out right away!
He's a relative NOBODY, first term US Senator,
but as Joe Biden put it, "Obama is neat, and clean, and articulate" (for a Negro).
So while uber-lib sis was also of the mind that Hillary would be the next President, BUT that Barack Obama was looking good as a candidate for AFTER Hillary had served her TWO terms...
... but i had other plans...
i started promoting TF out of Obama online, which was easy to do, because Obama was an easy product for people to like,
and we HYPED this story about Hillary Clinton campaign STIFFING a hard-working, single-mom, waitress at a restaurant in Iowa...
and we were able to sink Hillary's support JUST enough, and move those supporters into the Obama camp, just in time for Obama to win the Iowa Caucus in 2008.
From then on, the Obama campaign went from being a token-minorty, to a serious contender, and ultimately Obama won the DNC nomination, and the general election.
BUT, you have to keep in mind, that in 2007, GWB was President, and was unpopular, so the pubic was going to vote in a Democrat, just to get rid of the NEOCON Republicans who were complicit with 9/11, and the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.
so it was probably not going to happen, to have a Republican voted in, in 2008, so OBAMA was basically the best we could do, at that time, with what we had to work with, to keep HILLARY OUT of office.
(((They))) had a plan to destroy America, and it relied heavily on Hillary being elected.
By the way, Hillary is sniffing around DC, supposedly meeting with Kamala Harris,
I can almost bet, the topic of conversation was Hillary-Harris 2024

If anything, you helped prevent some of the very worst plans of the DS from coming to fruition on schedule. Although I didn't know much about the DS at the time, I had enough sense to tell that a WWIII would've broken out under 'Madam President'.
Your story makes me wonder, is Obama not with the deep state? Is he for example outside their inner satanic circle? I somehow get the sense that Obama put the brakes on the DS plans, and I wondered at the time when he spent a long time with DJT at the White House if he was passing on crucial information to the white hats.
I was on reddit back then and supporting the RP campaign. I was banned (multiple times) from reddit long before the donald existed. I will say though, i am so far more red pilled since that time and I am absolutely amazed and appreciated by the number of you who joined later. With a new level of passion and enthusiasm.
Nice! I was working the phones and door to door in NH. It earned me tickets to see him live in a debate and I had breakfast with Rand Paul and a dozen other workers. It was a year I'll never forget. The people were incredible. It was magic.
Thank God for Senator Rand Paul, for holding Dr Fauci's feet to the flames.
Obama rolled back rules on gain of function research, in the closing days of his term,
and then Fauci funds a Wuhan virus lab, to do gain of function "research",
ostensibly to help develop even more vaccines, for you to take...
and then Fauci LIES about it to Sen Rand Paul, while under oath.
Did you see from the ron Paul forums how people longed for the Caesar? I have been scared of Q from the beginning bc it aligns so perfectly w data the forums suggested
I was on the Ron Paul forums every day. I'm not familiar with what your talking about. I was pretty young and only just learning about Libertarianism and the Constitution. I've come a long way, but if you can fill me in, I'm all ears.
Ron Paul, not Rand. Rand is not Ron. Ron is his father and is the real deal.
My awakening started because some dude had a who is Ron Paul shirt on at the Epsom old home days. I didn't like not knowing. Started a whole thing.
Seriously.
Rock your shirts, fly your flags, speak your mind. You never know who might take notice or what it might start.
I was a big fan of Ron Paul's.
Here, was a pleasure to support and meet him many times here in the first in the nation primary state, Rand as well - though he was just supporting his dad and not a politician yet.
It was weird that an elderly man was the first to actually get me excited about politics.
One of my favorite memories was when I contributed to Ron Paul's campaign and he a set the 1 day fundraising record, and then Glen Beck reported that I and everyone who supported RP was a domestic terrorist for doing so. Good times.
Haha we were probably in the same room together many times. Did you go to Murphy's Diner?
We probably were! Oh yes Murphy’s for sure. I particularly liked one time after a stop at Veterans park in Manch, Rand says “ok now we are off to our next stop in Con-Cord” I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that.
Dana Bash gets snowballed

His "What If" speech is still one of my most favorite speeches.
I put that speech alongside Kennedy or Reagan any day. It moved me deeply.

Ron Paul is a family friend.
His daughter Joy delivered my kids.
Ron is amazing and the whole family has gone through more than most people understand. They’re amazing people.
So your list of how he got railroaded is very sparse In 08 in Minnesota? Somewhere out there, at the RNC they raided our motels and used military hardware to jam messages out, no videos of it anymore im sure. In 2012 in florida they put our delegates on a bus that wandered off the reservation and didn't make it in time for floor votes.
They just unpersoned him on fox, wouldn't speak his name out loud. They'd show Santorum or Huckabee w a full graphic against Romney and it would read 3% then Paul is in a columm w 5 other longshots and it quietly reads like 28% Meanwhile Glen beck is calling us al Qaida while also suggesting white people start a political party
Also remember when he was quite popular on Reddit and as the race neared the end, a lot of support for him was suppressed.
and their excuses for suppression were crazy.
them: we don't talk about Ron Paul because he's unknown nobody with no support.
us: he's a sitting US Congressman, been re-elected several times...
them: we don't talk about Ron Paul because his poll numbers are low.
us: but you talk about candidates who have even less support than Ron Paul!
them: we don't talk about Ron Paul because he is too radical.
us: his campaign slogan is "Campaign For Liberty"...
them: we don't talk about Ron Paul because he has some crazy ideas
us: you mean like that book he wrote called END THE FED ?
once you become aware of the censorship agenda, you see it everywhere, and they are so bad at hiding their agenda. the excuses they give never make any sense
I remember that. Reddit mods openly said “Constitutionalists are terrorists”
Also gotta love how Obama stole Ron’s campaign slogan “Hope for America”
Me.
As a young libertarian lad, I noticed a concerted effort on mainstream and social media against him. I didn't know what they were called, but they're now known as shills and NPCs, directed by Project Mockingbird. My first redpill.
Diving into the Ron Paul campaign was a giant red pill on the Republican party to me. It was shocking to witness the muting of him and his supporters at political events and nominations. At that time I saw "No Name's" true colors in person.
✋🏻
high five!
Here here!
Got my Fed redpill from Ron.
Ron Paul was only the 2nd Republican I voted for in my entire life. I had to write him in. The first was Ross Perot. The 3rd was President Trump. I'll never go back to the left. I think young people are more ideological and tend to be lefty but as you get older you start to see how racist and hateful the left really is. But what I liked about all 3 candidates is they were not in the "club". They were outsiders.
One of the smartest men to ever serve. He was also cheated out of an election. Here is a video of him predicting everything that happened before 2008.

This is the dude who woke me up to the Federal Reserve BS and introduced me to Austrian Economics back between 2008-2012. Very grateful to this man!
I got his books End the Fed and The Revolution years ago
I have a Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce and Honest Friendship.
I also kept all the campaign mailers too like a geek, lol.
The ONLY campaign for which I EVER distributed literature !
Mememememe!!!! I tried to help where I could back in 08... Contributed money to his campaign and many times wanted to punch the TV due to the blatant lies and shoddy reporting on him and his campaign. Like when they showed the previous year's footage when they were reporting on CPAC. Lie after lie after lie after lie...
The media is responsible for all of this. All of it.
its much easier for THEM, to LIE to you,
than it is for YOU, to PROVE they are lying
Ron Paul woke me up to the BS happening with the ACA/Obamacare pork. I was in college at the time for CRJ, so I read the friggin thing, all of it, for days. Ron was right.
Started listening to him. Watched the RNC screw him over for Romney. Realized they were Fubar. Knew Dems were Fubar already. Realized there was only one Uniparty. Went the Libertarian route for a bit. Realized the L party were either crazy or controlled opposition.
Then saw Trump, went MAGA, and still never trust anything. But, that was the goal of the MAGA movement. Investigate everything, find everything, expose everything.
in 2008(?), Goldman Sachs was the largest contributor to both Obama and Romney.
once you realize that the BIG BOYS play both sides,
you start playing both sides too.
get involved in BOTH Democrat and Republican campaigns, and follow along, and use their campaign chatter to amplify your own values, wherever you happen to find the chatter.
for example, i caucused for Bernie Sanders, because F Hillary,
and then i voted for Trump, because F Hillary.
Oh, and i hear Hillary is already sniffing around DC, to see if she has any support.
she just read her acceptance speech on video the other day.
I'm pretty sure this is gonna be like every other scary movie, where the monster keeps coming back from the dead.
Hillary Harris 2024
because poor Joe Biden decided NOT to run for re-election in 2024 for health reasons.
I still remember hearing him speak for the first time at some televised primary debate I saw at a local YMCA I had a membership to, in 2007. He was spitting straight up truth like I'd never even heard before. No one talks economic liberty like Ron, not even his son.
Me and the then-girlfriend (now wife) participated in some meetups supporting him in our college. It was during one of these that we realized most of the other people there did not seem to care much about taxes, or the Fed, instead being there to ride the anti-war, and anti-drug-war train.
Granted, we were certainly against foreign military intervention and the war on drugs, but we saw these things as merely side-effects of our authoritarian, confiscatory government, not a political end-goal in itself.
Ron understood this but a lot of his fans at the time did not seem to. That's why I was not at all surprised to see so many Ron Paul supporters in 08/12 become Bernie Bros in 16.
A politician with Ron's brain and Trump's mouth would get elected in a landslide and lead to a thousand year It's Happening/Heaven on Earth.
2007-2008 Presidential bid. He was my crowd’s candidate. There were no pre-printed campaign signs or tee shirts, so we handmade our own. Rallies and marches through town. This all was kind of new for me. Also read “End the Fed”, which taught me a lot about the current banking system.
I belonged to the Daily Paul. Donated heavily what I could. Made me realize what liars and cheats MSM were, got me to stop watching "news " and network TV. I proudly displayed his bumper sticks and yard signs . Still love the guy . Watch his Liberty report when I see it.
theres only a few names in this world, that when i encounter them, i stop whatever I'm doing and listen.
Ron Paul is one of those names.
Yup. Same here.
Before American Thinker was cool, we had The Daily Paul
That's where I got the TRUE news. We were on top of all the happenings.
I got soundly banned from the Daily Paul a few hours after I called out the creator of that site for using Dr Paul's name to build up the site and then trying to rebrand it as if Ron Paul was dead to him. He tried to rebrand it as the Daily Prosperity AU (gold) Liberty. All that maneuvering to distance himself from Ron Paul, and then shut the site entirely down within a year. It was a sad ending to a great community.
I don't remember that change...strange.
Ah the Daily Paul! That sure takes me back.
The documentaries about the R3volution were something else. Even though I was following from my humble home in Melbourne, just watching the spontaneity of the movement gave me hope that something would really change, just not back then!
Michael Nystrom sure hosted a wonderful site. I cried the day it ended.
He sure did. I'll be forever grateful for Michael Nystrom's hosting of our community. If not for him, I don't think I'd've found my way here on the Great Awakening so easily, which reminds me so much of the Daily Paul.
The last time I searched, he'd moved from Boston to Seattle and finally to Taiwan by 2020. There, he co-founded a natural health food shop with his wife. They had relatives who'd passed away from bowel cancer, which led them wanting to promote good gut health with kombucha, superfoods and healthy eating lifestyles in his wife's homeland.
God Bless him wherever the Lord may call him!
I voted for him in 1988 when he ran for President as a Libertarian. It was the first year I was old enough to vote. I was told I couldn't vote 3rd party, that it was throwing my vote away, immoral, evil, anti-american, etc, etc and I had to hold my nose and vote R because of abortion, Supreme Court picks, war, etc. (Grew up in a conservative church/homeschool environment). First, I didn't like being told who to vote for. 2nd, I couldn't vote for HWBush, he just oozed evil to me even as an 18 yr old without having done any research on politics yet. From then on I only voted 3rd party. Until Dr. Paul ran on the R ticket. And then for Trump, tho I was reluctant about him but my husband realized the dream well before I did.
Me and my husband tried to become delegates for him in our small county. First the caucus changed locations without telling us. Then we were bullied out by Santorum people. The Church-going-religious-All-About-Abortion-so-Slimy-Santorum-is-our-man supporters who also were our neighbors (and friends??) turned nasty and broke the caucus rules to keep us Ron Paul nuts out. The RNC local caucus guy was going deaf, he couldn't hear us try to explain rules that were being broken, it was a pathetic mess.
I left politics then. Didn't even delve into it again until Trumps 3rd year, before I saw hope again.
BTW, Ron Paul's books are amazing. A lot of them used to be online for free. Not sure now, but they are certainly worth the read.
How about ancient school Ross Perot supporters....
Still read and listen to him daily on The Ron Paul Institute For Peace and Prosperity. It's always interesting.
For Liberty, that is all.
Liberty Defined by Dr. Ron Paul was my eye opening to Libertarianism. I was an alternate delegate in my state for Dr. Paul in 2012. The RNC that year was the event that made me realize we were at war with the uniparty establishment. Dr. Paul was the one who sat in committee and made Greenspan and Breneke squirm. Pilot, Ob/Gyn Dr., Politician, Economist and all over an honorable gentleman. Unfortunately just saying no to lobbyists wasn't going to translate to vanquishing the cabal no matter how good his ideas were.
Ron Paul: Is gold money?
Bernanke: It's a barbarous relic.
Ron Paul: Then why do central banks hold so much of it?
Bernanke: It's tradition.
I was (still am) a big Ron Paul guy. I was for Rand Paul but got on the Trump train shortly after lol.
voted for him in the primaries when he ran. The reason I supported Trump early on was because he reminded me a lot of RP.
It’s funny that I didn’t like Trump at first because I felt the GOP was just running another Romney. I was supporting Rand in the primaries.
sure, Rand is interesting, but I was impressed by Trump going after Obama re: the birth cert. That took some balls, and it was clear to me that Trump knew something was bogus there otherwise he would not have been so stubborn about it.
So, I was impressed by Trump even back then, I knew he had balls and DGAF about appearing political.
Ron Paul was the greatest politician of our time. That includes Trump. There’s literally nothing anyone can say that would change my mind because it’s the objective truth.
He would have made a great president.
He’s awesome . My kids did his homeschool curriculum. Best classes were western Civ 1&2
Ive loved and supported Ron Paul since like 2009 when Alex Jones was talking about him and how he is a nessicary figure and that we need more of him. He was a great doctor from an era where doctors made like 5$ an hour
I am!
Ronpaul2012
President Paul!
Ron Paul's run for president is what woke me up to Google's fuckery.
Presidential material!
I love ron paul. Rand is an apple that fell and rolled away from the tree.
I wore my "Don't blame me I voted for Ron Paul" sweatshirt for Christmas.
