Ron Paul: How the Fed's "Wise Gurus" Devastate America - Video

When Brian Doherty, senior editor of the Libertarian magazine Reason, wrote "Radicals for Capitalism: A History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement" in 2007, Texas Rep. Ron Paul's name appeared on only three pages. Concerning political movements, "politicians are lagging indicators, not leading indicators," Doherty said.

Even though his back-to-back presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012 failed, Paul managed to win a victory of sorts: using some of the money he raised campaigning, he started a political advocacy organization, the Campaign for Liberty.

"Since the world is imperfect, we'll never have perfect liberty," Paul said at the group's September annual conference in Northern Virginia. "But if we don't campaign for liberty the other side is going to keep campaigning for statism and big government and they are our enemy and we must stop them."

Campaign for Liberty is focused mostly on grassroots organizing. Supporters came from as far away as Arizona to take part in the three-day, second annual Liberty Political Action Conference.

Over the last few decades the two main American political parties have diverged, shifting to the left and right. The ranks of self-identified, and disenfranchised, independents swelled. Even though the so-called liberty movement has always had its core supporters, the crowds showing up at Paul rallies during the Republican presidential primary represented a newer, younger sort of Libertarian enthusiasm.

"I am trying to attach to the movement because I have strong feelings about their core argument," said Kareem El-Heneidi, a technology consultant from New York. "I'm in a quagmire because originally I was a Republican, defected to Democrat, and now seeking Libertarianism but without reversing the important progress this country made in protecting the poor and the weak."

At the conference it was clear there is a divide. When Paul delivered the keynote address, the crowd cheered with the same level of enthusiasm for a line about a laissez-faire approach to government and leaving those with less power to suffer their own losses, as they hooted for calls for a compassionate sort of Libertarianism -- one that protects the worst off.

Paul was indeed the rock star of the event. Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Jim DeMint of South Carolina, and GOP Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan each spoke to the gathering on Thursday. But the elder Paul was the main attraction.

At Liberty Conference, Ron Paul Supporters Move Forward

Ron Pauls presidential hopes have long been over, but hes still spending cash like a candidate.

Paul spent more than $588,000 in August to fund a range of activities and initiatives, from travel to consultants to maintaining a sizable staff, new federal financial disclosures show.

His presidential campaign ended August with more than $2 million in reserve, even taking in about $103,000 worth of contributions for the month, his report indicates.

That stands in stark contrast to fellow GOP also-rans Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, both of whom continue to carry seven-figure debt from their presidential runs.

Paul never officially dropped out of the Republican presidential primary; only on Aug. 28, when delegates at the Republican National Convention enshrined Mitt Romney as the party nominee, did Pauls campaign officially cease.

It ended with a loud, if ultimately futile bang, too, with Paul appearing at a rally in his honor and his delegates staging protests and walk-outs at the convention itself. Paul received 190 votes by convention delegates to Romneys 2,061.

Among Pauls August expenditures, according to his filing: $48,474 for rental fees at the Republican convention, nearly $25,000 in air charter expenses, about $21,000 for email services and $15,000 for a sponsorship for the Republican Party of Iowa.

(Op-ed) Ron Paul Tuesday 18th September, 2012

The attack on the US consulate in Libya and the killing of the US Ambassador and several aides is another tragic example of how our interventionist foreign policy undermines our national security.

The more the US tries to control the rest of the world, either by democracy promotion, aid to foreign governments, or by bombs, the more events spin out of control into chaos, unintended consequences, and blowback.

Unfortunately, what we saw in Libya last week is nothing new.

In 1980s Afghanistan, the US supported Islamic radicals in their efforts to expel the invading Soviet military. These radicals became what is known to be al-Qaeda, and our one-times allies turned on us most spectacularly on September 11, 2001.

Iraq did not have a significant al Qaeda presence before the 2003 US invasion, but our occupation of that country and attempt to remake it in our image caused a massive reaction that opened the door to al Qaeda, leading to thousands of US soldiers dead, a country destroyed, and instability that shows no sign of diminishing.

In Libya we worked with, among others, the rebel Libyan Fighting Group (LIFG) which included foreign elements of al-Qaeda. It has been pointed out that the al-Qaeda affiliated radicals we fought in Iraq were some of the same groups we worked with to overthrow Gaddafi in Libya. Last year in a television interview I predicted that the result of NATO's bombing of Libya would likely be an increased al-Qaeda presence in the country. I said at the time that we may be delivering al-Qaeda another prize.

Not long after NATO overthrew Gaddafi, the al Qaeda flag was flown over the courthouse in Benghazi. Should we be surprised, then, that less than a year later there would be an attack on our consulate in Benghazi? We have been told for at least the past eleven years that these people are the enemy who seeks to do us harm.

There is danger in the belief we can remake the world by bribing some countries and bombing others. But that is precisely what the interventionists be they liberal or conservative seem to believe. When the world does not conform to their image, they seem genuinely shocked. The secretary of state's reaction to the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi was one of confusion. "How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction," she asked.

The problem is that we do not know and we cannot know enough about these societies we are seeking to remake. We never try to see through the eyes of those we seek to liberate. Libya is in utter chaos, the infrastructure has been bombed to rubble, the economy has ceased to exist, gangs and militias rule by brutal force, the government is seen as a completely illegitimate and powerless US puppet. How could anyone be shocked that the Libyans do not see our bombing their country as saving it from destruction?
