Republican Congressman Slams Bush On Militarized Police State Preparation
Ron Paul says indictment story is far more damaging than media is portraying, avian flu martial law provisions aimed at gun confiscation

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | October 12 2005

Congressman Ron Paul has accused the Bush administration of attempting to set in motion a militarized police state in America by enacting gun confiscation martial law provisions in the event of an avian flu pandemic. Paul also slammed as delusional and dangerous plans to invade Iran, Syria, North Korea and China.

Ron Paul represents the 14th Congressional district of Texas. He also serves on the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, and the International Relations committee.

Paul appeared on the Alex Jones show yesterday and raised some interesting points about the possibility of imminent indictments of top Bush administration figures.

"I think there's a lot more excitement coming and it's not going to be good for the Republicans," stated Paul.

"The things that I hear have to do with Karl Rove and Abramoff and that's much much worse than anybody would believe and it involves DeLay as well."

"And that type of an indictment will be much more serious than the indictment of shifting campaign funds around.....there's some political infighting which could make that really interesting."

On the subject of the police state, Paul stated,

"If we don't change our ways we will go the way of Rome and I see that as rather sad.....the worst things happen when you get the so-called Republican conservatives in charge from Nixon on down, big government flourishes under Republicans."

"It's really hard to believe it's happening right in front of us. Whether it's the torture or the process of denying habeas corpus to an American citizen."

"I think the arrogance of power that they have where they themselves are like Communists....in the sense that they decide what is right. The Communist Party said that they decided what was right or wrong, it wasn't a higher source."

Paul responded to President Bush's announcement last week that he would order the use of military assets to police America in the event of an avian flu outbreak.

"To me it's so strange that the President can make these proposals and it's even plausible. When he talks about martial law dealing with some epidemic that might come later on and having forced quarantines, doing away with Posse Comitatus in order to deal with natural disasters, and hardly anybody says anything. People must be scared to death."

Paul, himself a medical doctor, agreed that the bird flu threat was empty fearmongering.

"I believe it is the President hyping this and Rumsfeld, but it has to be in combination with the people being fearful enough that they will accept the man on the white horse. My first reaction going from my political and medical background is that it's way overly hyped and to think that they have gone this far with it, without a single case in the whole country and they're willing to change the law and turn it into a military state? That is unbelievable! They're determined to have martial law."

Paul opined that the martial law provisions now being promoted by the Bush administration were a direct response to people's unwillingness to relinquish their firearms, as was seen in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

"I think they're concerned about the remnant, the remnant of those individuals who don't buy into stuff and think that they should take care of themselves on their own, that they should have their own guns and their own provisions and they don't want to depend on the government at all and I think that is a threat to those who want to hold power. They don't want any resistance to their authoritarian rule."

Paul opined that the government was on a delusional power trip that threatened the country.

"These guys are ready to start a war with Iran, Syria, North Korea or China. They can't possibly do that, it's so insane, we don't have the money, we don't have the troops, we probably don't even have the ammunition."

"But, if they are truly delusional they just might do something that's totally irrational."

Paul expressed his hope that finally some conservatives are waking up to the fact that the Bush administration is a trojan horse, especially after arch-liberal Harriet Miers was chosen by Bush to supposedly move the Supreme Court to the right, even though her record is atrocious and she has been involved in the past covering up for the Bush crime family's activities.

everything you post i want to respond to, you remind me of tom paine he brought a lot of great facts and posts here a few years back.
this one had such a ring of truth that it got me, for a long time this has been coming
will they start the fire that burns for a thousand years?
guess it is time to stop them, can't have them hurting themselves so badly
guns have never worked, what do you suggest?
i know we have to stand up to the bullies, even the ones with badges
i was talking to David Malmo Levine about standing up to them, if you know him, you know he loves to debate, and has stood up, ever since i have known him.
he told me that in standing up to them, you had to be so careful not to become one.
he is incredibly smart, so i believe him
i have gone overboard a couple of times

it's just amazing to watch the total destruction of America before our very eyes...and most people just don't care and/or can't even see it happening...

we're being squeezed and sucked dry...all this news you hear now about how prices for everything are going up, especially heating for this winter...we're getting the IMF treatment (google "imf riot" and "greg palast imf"), we're being deindustrialized and our economy and middle class is deliberately being destroyed, and people cheer it on...the dollar is rapidly becoming worthless...it's been devalued so much just in the past few years...

it's sad what's happening...

I wonder how many people see the truths, or see through the government's lies?

even in the revolution to become, only three percent of the population pulled it off, who until won were called traitors and collaborators
once again guns failed, the tree of peace agreement of the Iroquois still stands, they may plagiarize it but cannot pull it down.
and considering the damage their fear does, i don't know how sad it is, it is sad to see the idea die

yeah, i shouldn't say most people can't see it happening or don't care...i know a lot of people that do...but there are enough who don't...so that fucks over everyone...

we just keep 's'electing the same batch of 'leaders', with D's and R's next to their names who all do the same things, over and over and over...

yea it fucks everyone over, maybe we should get used to it, and go do something different ourselves, like not let them bring us down, go ahead and kill us just don't bring us down.
using the weapons they give us brings us down, we should develop our own weapons
after all it was us that made guns and power, we can make or use something else maybe
at least it would be different, this shit has all happenend before
