Ron Paul : The Dollar Bubble - Video

The Ron Paul Institute For Peace and Prosperity republished a column yesterday speculating that the terror attack on the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo was a false flag operation executed by the United States to punish France for its foreign policy independence.

The column, written by Reagan administration Treasury official and longtime Paul supporter Paul Craig Roberts, charges that the official version of events simply doesnt wash.

It behoves us all to think, Roberts writes. Why would Muslims be more outraged by cartoons in a Paris magazine than by hundreds of thousands of Muslims killed by Washington and its French and NATO vassals in seven countries during the past 14 years? He then suggested that if Muslims truly found Charlie Hebdos cartoons lampooning Islam objectionable, then they could have brought a hate crime charge or lawsuit.

To hear Roberts tell it, media outlets are covering up U.S. involvement in the attack.

Once again we see the US print and TV media serving as a ministry of propaganda for Washington, he writes. In place of investigation, the media repeats the governments implausible story.

Why would the U.S. carry out such an act? Roberts speculates that the U.S. sought to put France in its place after the country voted at the United Nations to recognize Palestine as a state and French President Francois Hollande suggested an easing of sanctions against Russia.

Clearly, France was showing too much foreign policy independence. The attack on Charlie Hebdo serves to cow France and place France back under Washingtons thumb, Roberts declares.

The Paul Institutes publication of Roberts column comes less than a year after the institute republished a piece in which Roberts claimed that the American government was behind the 9/11 attacks an assertion he repeated in his latest column.

CNN will host up to three of these events with the first one taking place Sept. 16 in California at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. The other two CNN-hosted debates will take place in Las Vegas in December, and a yet-to-be-decided state in March, if necessary.

"By constructing and instituting a sound debate process, it will allow candidates to bring their ideas and vision to Americans in a timely and efficient way," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement announcing the debate schedule.

RNC sets 2016 presidential convention date

This marks a significantly slimmer schedule than in 2012. GOP officials were hoping to avoid the nightmare scenario that played out during the 2012 Republican primary fight, when nearly 20 debates left the candidates exhausted, and Republican elders cleaning up messes from the vicious intra-party squabbling on stage.

Following the 2012 election, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus made it a priority to insert the national party into the primary debate process. Priebus also shortened the primary calendar so that Republicans choose a nominee sooner than it did in 2012.

CNN hosted the final debate of the 2008 GOP presidential primary at the Reagan Library, which featured former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Romney, Arizona Sen. John McCain, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

"President Reagan is frequently cited as a source of inspiration for many Republican candidates, so we can think of no better venue from which to bring this historic event to viewers and voters," said Jeff Zucker, president of CNN Worldwide.

Former first lady Nancy Reagan said she is pleased that Republicans will be discussing the most important issues of the day at the Library.

"Over 35 years ago, Ronnie announced his candidacy for higher office because he believed that the citizens of this country wanted a president who could inspire," she said. "It is time to find a new leader and I'm so pleased that the Reagan Foundation, just as it has the last two presidential elections, will be hosting a candidates debate to do just that."

Number of GOP debates slashed

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire--Rand Paul loves the free market, and in a one-day five-stop New Hampshire tour, the Kentucky senator dispensed his praise for it like water from an aspergillum. At Murphy's Diner, when the morning hour matched the temperature on the street, he said the free market was the solution to shrinking the budget and strengthening the economy. At lunchtime, in the Quonset hut of the Londonderry Fish and Game Club, he preached to the standing-room-only crowd about "the freedom to own things." In the library at the Founders Academy, a charter school with rules for proper behavior written on a yellow sheet on the wall and volumes of Shakespeare stacked like sandbags, he argued that market competition among states should replace Common Core education standards.

As Sen. Rand Paul continues to build a campaign base for a possible 2016 presidential bid, the politician reacted to a possible GOP rival in Mitt...

So of course he has a free market answer to the growing size of the Republican presidential field. "The more the merrier," he said as we talked in the "primary room," across the hall from the Manchester mayor's office at City Hall where the walls are decorated with buttons, yard signs, and newspapers from previous elections. (A placard in the room reads, "Assume that cameras and audio are always recording," which is good advice--and nearly encapsulates Paul's view of government surveillance).

It's good for the voters to have choices, says Paul, and it seems like Republican voters have more every day. Mitt Romney is seriously considering a run. Former three-term New York Gov. George Pataki just visited New Hampshire to see if anyone remembers him. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham is making soundings. It's getting to be the case that the R next to a politician's name stands for "Running for president." "I saw in the paper recently they listed who might run for the Republican primary," said Paul. "It was like the whole page."

Republican Congressman Paul Ryan says he won't be running for president in 2016, but Mitt Romney says he is considering running again. If he does...

But Paul isn't just being ideologically consistent when he says, "More the merrier." He's happy to see the others split the vote. On the establishment side of the party, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, and Chris Christie will fight for the share of voters who want a pragmatist with executive experience. Social conservatives will splinter between Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz, and Mike Huckabee. Paul will have relatively less competition for the libertarian conservatives of the kind who supported his father in the state in 2012, when Rep. Ron Paul came in second to Mitt Romney with 23 percent of the vote.

But the son is not the father. To make that clear he has said his father will not be campaigning with him. Sen. Paul's foreign policy views are less confrontational and isolationist than his father's are, and he is running a more traditional campaign, assembling constituency groups, not just relying on tribal loyalism. At Murphy's, Paul talked to small government legislators, at the gun club it was Second Amendment enthusiasts, and at Founders it was education activists. You could almost see the chart on which the careful constituent tending had been mapped out.
