Ron Paul - Inappropriate News Letters

Last Updated: Jan 01, 2012

Summary

Throughout the years, Congressman Paul has been involved in publishing several newsletters. Some of these newsletters ran for many years and some ran only during the few years between his two times in office. Ron Paul's involvement in each newsletter was limited, and in some cases he only let the newsletters use his name and pay him a royalty.

In June of 1992, an issue of the Ron Paul Political Report was devoted to the sole topic of racial terrorism and the recent riots in Los Angeles. That issue discusses what happened in the Rodney King beating, how the city reacted, and the assaults committed by black citizens in Los Angeles against people who were passing through their section of town and happened to be white. The article concludes by noting that the riots concluded that one of the main reasons that the rioting ended was that the postal service was suspended in the area and the rioters had to go to the post office to pick up their welfare checks.

In 1990 and 1991, the Ron Paul Newsletter ran a series of short articles discussing Martin L King Jr. The articles state that Dr King was known to have plagairized his doctoral thesis, his sermons, and numerous other items. The articles also note Dr King's extra-marital affairs and make the claim that he sought sexual relationships with other male pastors.

In 1993, the Ron Paul Survival Report discussed the first attempt to bomb the World Trade Center and makes the claim that the bombing may have been an Israeli plot.

When he returned to Congress in 1995, Congressman Paul mentioned the newsletters in a CSPAN interview while he noted that remained active during his time practicing medicine. In that interview he stated that the newsletters discussed economic issues and currency issues dealing with monetary policy.

The newsletters surfaced in the 2008 Presidential campaign and Congressman Paul admitted that he had not been involved in some on the newsletters other than to lend his name. He stated that he was not aware of the content of the letters, that the content in question was abhorrent, and that he disavowed the writings. He took a moral responsibility for letters and stated that he had a moral responsibility to know what was being put out in his name.

This statement is at odds with the format of several of the articles which are written in the first person as if Congressman Paul was indeed the author. However, the style of the writing in the letters and the content itself is not consistent with Congressman Paul's other writings and statements.

Various Newsletter

During his time in and out of office, Congressman Paul published or lent his name to numerous newsletters. During his first term in office, Congressman Paul initiated a "think tank", named the Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE). In 1976, the foundation began publication of the first monthly newsletter associated with Paul, Dr. Ron Paul's Freedom Report (or Special Report).

In 1984, Congressman Paul created Ron Paul & Associates (RP&A), Inc. The organization had Ron Paul as its President, Lew Rockwell as its Vice President (Paul's former Chief of Staff), and Ron Paul's wife Carol as the Secretary. The company published a variety of newsletters and was dissolved during 2001.

In 1985, RP&A began publishing The Ron Paul Investment Letter and The Ron Paul Survival Report. In 1987 it added the Ron Paul Political Report. Another newsletter named Ron Paul Newsletter has run for an extended time, but not enough information has been found to determine an exact start and end date.

Special Issue on Racial Terrorism

In June of 1992, an 8 page issue of the Ron Paul Political Report addressed the recent riots in Los Angeles following the Rodney King verdict. The article discusses the Rodney King arrest and the actions of the city of Los Angeles during the riots in shutting down transportation systems and removing law enforcement from areas where they would be protecting citizens from the rioters. It also discusses the inability of Califonia citizens to defend themselves due to California gun law waiting periods. After that, it goes through a list of violent attacks that took place where rioters attacked and often killed people passing through neighborhoods, reporters, or responders if they were white.

After discussing the riots, the article notes that the postal service had suspended delivery to riot areas. It then states that the only thing that ended the riots when it was time for the welfare checks and rioters were required to go to the post office to obtain their checks.

The article also discusses the actions of President Bush in granting money to area to quell the violence and excusing the actions of rioters as legitimate response to legitimate complaints. The main section that created the controversy stemmed from the welfare check statements and is shown below.

I've got a feeling that there were many more incidents of looting, fires, and violence that we haven't heard about for the simple fact that the media doesn't want us to know about them. Newsmen and editors are protecting us from the truth.
Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. The "poor" lined up to get their handouts (since there were no deliveries) -- and then complained about the service.
What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the violence subsided.

MLK Papers

In December of 1990, and January and February of 1991, the Ron Paul newsletter contained references to Martin Luther King Jr that claimed that Dr King had committed plagairism in his PhD and in his writings. One article also stated that Dr King was carrying out an affair with another male pastor.

December 1990

The December 1990 article discussed Dr King's plagairism, stated that he was a communist sympathiser, and was a world-class adulterer.

So now even the establishment press admits that Martin Luther King plagiarized his PhD dissertation, his academic articles, his speeches, and his sermons.
He was also a comsymp, if not an actual party member, and the man who replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.
King, the FBI files show, was not only a world-class adulterer, he also seduced underage girls and boys. The Rev, Ralph David Abernathy revealed before his death that King had made a pass at him many years before.
And we are supposed to honor this "Christian Minister" and lying socialist satyr with a holiday that puts him on par with George Washington?
Congratulations to Arizona! Who could doubt that the result would be exactly the same if the other 49 states could also vote on a holiday for this affirmative action saint?

January 1991

In a January 1991 article again refers to Martin Luther King as a Marxist and discusses his sexual behavior and plagairism.

St. Martin was a world-class philanderer who beat up his paramours ("non-violence" didn't apply in all spheres, I guess). He was a flagrant plagiarist with a phony doctorate. He replaced forced segregation in a few states with forced integration in all states. And he was a dedicated socialist. What a guy. He probably deserves two holidays.
Why, he often asked "is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that is two-thirds water?" (Forget a PhD. Give this man an IQ test.)
Capitalism, he said, has "left a gulf between superfluoys wealth and abject poverty, has created conditions permitting necessities to be taken from the many to give luxuries to the few, and has encouraged smallhearted men to become cold and conscienceless." As compensation, he advocated paying blacks "about fifty billion" -- $250 billion in today's dollars -- per year for ten years, although all the wealth in the country "could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation."
King advocated racial quotas: "If a city has a 30% Negro population," then "Negroes should have at least 30% of the jobs in any particular company, and join in all categories."
And David Garrow's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography reports that King "made it clear to close friends" that he considered himself a Marxist."
Even his ballyhooed "non-violence" was a tactic. He wanted to take power like Castro did, "but a violent revolution on the part of American blacks would find no sympathy and support from the white population." So he adopted non-violence as a "strategy for change, a tactical program."
The official line among some conservatives and libertarians is that the civil rights movement started out well, but went astray after King's death. In fact, it was bad from the beginning, never seeking the mere removal of Jim Crow laws, which would have been legitimate, but forced integration and wealth redistribution.
In 1988 when I ran for president on the Libertarian Party ticker, I was berated for hours by LP members because I had refused to vote, while in Congress, for a Martin Luther King national holiday.
I didn't know then about his plagiarism, but the rest of King's crimes were clear. J. edgar Hoover once called his "the most dangerous man in America." Who could have known the danger would continue after his death and threaten to strangle our culture.

February 1991

In February of 1991, a short part of one newsletter speaks again about Dr King's plagairism and the his sexual conduct with another minister.

The X-Rated Martin Luther King
I was among the first to bring you news, about a year ago, that the Rev. Martin Luther King plagiarized his doctoral dissertation. The January 1991 issue of Chonicles magazine tells the whole sordid story, but to scoop them, the Wall Street Journal ran a "sensitive" story. And now the New republic reports that it, the WSJ, the Washington Post, and the New York Times knew about the plagairism long ago but chose to suppress it. So much for our free press.
We know that King was a Marxist and a world class adulterer. But there is yet another charge, and this one appears in black columnist Carl Rowan's new book Breaking Barriers (Boston: Little, Brown, 1991).
While Rowan was head of the U.S. Information Agency under LBJ, he found out about the FBI bugging of King's multifarious sexual activities. Documented on tape: a sexual relationship between King and his fellow Christian minister, Ralph David Abernathy. See the Rowan book for the exact words, which I cannot bring myself to quote. Am I glad I voted in Congress against an expansive federal holiday for this man.

Double Standard

In May of 1990, the Ron Paul Newsletter published an article called "The Double Standard." That article discusses a recent demonstration after a black person was killed by white assailants. It then notes that a similar recent attack in which the assailants were black and the victim was white was dismissed as revenge.

The Double Standard
We know about the crimes at Bensonhurst and Howard Beach because of press propanganda and because great oddities took place in each: white on black crime. Virtually inter-racial crime is black on white, not white on black.
When blacks kill whites, however, it's not defined as news. A month after the Bensonhurst killing, points out Jared Taylor, an almost identical crime was committed in the Bronx. A white got out of his car to use a phone. two blacks asked him what a honkey was doing on Tremont Avenue, shouted at him, and then shot him in the stomach.
There were "no marches, no outbursts, no handwriting, and hardly and press coverage." When a black minister who had helped stir up the Bensonhurstomania was asked about it, he said it wasn't racism, it was "revenge."

Renaming New York

In October of 1990, the Ron Paul newsletter published an article discussing a recent rally held by Jesse Jackson in which the group demanded that New York City be renamed to Martin Luther King City.

King City?
A mob of black demonstrators, led by the "Rev." Al Sharpton, occupied and closed the Statue of Liberty recently, demanding that New York be renamed Martin Luther King City "to reclaim it for our people."
Hmmm, I hate to agree with the Rev. Al, but maybe a name change is in order. Welfaria? Zooville? Rapetown? Dirtyburg? Lazyopolis?
But Al, the Statue of Liberty? Next time, hold that demonstration at a food stamp bureau or a crack house.

The First WTC Bombing

In the April 1993 issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report, an article was ran titled "The New York Bombing." The article discusses the recent bombing of the World Trade Center and discusses the possibility that the bombing was a setup by Mossad.

The New York Bombing
It was only a few days after the World Trade Center bombing before Mohammed A Salameh was arrested. Is he guilty? Who knows? Some people think this is a frameup by anti-Arab interests. recall that shortly after the Kennedy assassination, Lee Harvey Oswald was apprehended and accusations were made. We're still sorting that one out. From my point of view, it's hard to believe the perpetrators could be as stupid as the authorities maintain.
We know what one homemade bomb can do to a large city - one billion dollars of damage. Whether it was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little. The cities have become centers of violence, whether through the daily and routine terrorism of crime, political bomb terrorism, or the terrorims of mob behavior as in Los Angeles.
Never before in this nation's history has there been such a push for the banning of guns by federal law. The elite want the population disarmed, so only the government and the criminals have guns. If crime is related to the availability of weapons, why does Switzerland, where every house has a fully automatic weapon, not have a high crime rate?
If you are not armed now, buy a gun and learn how to use it safely and effectively. The National Rifle Association is a big help in this. Also, do your very best to keep your family away from inner cities. If you can't have a haven remote from the metropolitan areas.
