THE REVOLUTION
A MANIFESTO
[2008]
by
Ron Paul
[The purpose of showing
the work of Senator Ron Paul is that we applaud his mission
to Liberty and small government. Though the American
People have a written Constitution they have been for
decades witnessing the growth of BIG GOVERNMENT which
is threatening the true spirit of the original constitution.
The fight back by millions of Americans to stem or even
retard the intrusion of numerous government agencies is now
their biggest challenge. A message from Ron Paul on our
website gives his confident assurance that the tide of the
encroachment of Government can be turned around if all
who love LIBERTY join the FIGHT to regain control of our own
lives with the Government our SERVANTS and not as now in
America and England our MASTERS.]
*
THE MAN -RON PAUL
*
This Much Is True
You have Been Lied To.
The government is expanding
taxes are increasing
More senseless wars are
being planned
Inflation is ballooning
Or basic freedoms are
disappearing.
The Founding Fathers didn't
want any of this. In fact they said so quite clearly in the
Constitution of the United States of America.
Unfortunately, that
beautiful, ingenious , and revolutionary document is being
ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy
peace, freedom and prosperity once again, we absolutely must
return to the principles upon which America was founded. But
finally ,there is hope...
In his THE REVOLUTION - A
MANIFESTO, Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron
Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything
threatening America [and in England] , from the real
reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming
financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious
civil liberties [as in England]. In his book, Ron Paul
provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.
DESPITE A MEDIA BLACKOUT
this septuagenarian
physician-turned-congressman sparked a MOVEMENT that has
attracted a legion of young dedicated, enthusiastic
supporters...a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political
observers and made more than one political rival envious.
CANDIDATES across America are already running as " Ron Paul
Republicans,"
" Dr Paul cured my apathy,"
says a popular campaign sign. THE REVOLUTION may cure YOURS
AS WELL.
Ron Paul, a ten-term
congressman from Texas, is the leading advocate of freedom
in our nation's capital. he has devoted his political;
career to the DEFENSE of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY-SOUND MONEY, and
a NON-INTERVENTIONIST FOREIGN POLICY. Judge Andrew
Napolitano calls him "the Thomas Jefferson of our day."
After serving as a flight
surgeon in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960's, Dr Paul moved
to Texas to begin a civilian medical practice, delivering
over four thousand babies in his career as a obstetrician.
he served in congress from 1976 to 1984, and again from 1996
to the present. He and Carol Paul, his wife of fifty-one
years, have five children, eighteen grandchildren, and one
great-grandchild.
Ron Paul, the New York Post
once wrote, is a politician who "cannot be bought by special
interests."
" There are few people in
public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine,
STICK TO THEIR
PRINCIPLES,"
added a congressional
colleague.
"Ron Paul is one of
those few."

AN EXTRACT
WHAT
WE CAN LEARN AS WITH UNITED STATES OUR FOREIGN POLICY IS THREAT
TO LIBERTY AT HOME.
The
comparisons between our two countries are a mirror image at what
has happened to our society when foreign policy is decided by
the hawks and not the doves.
In the
173 pages of the 2008 edition of THE REVOLUTION-A MANIFESTO by
Ron Paul a best seller in the USA and as stated by the NEW YORK
TIMES -a BESTSELLER. And we know WHY?
....'My message is one of freedom and individual rights. I
believe individuals have a right to life and liberty and that
physical aggression should be used only defensively.
[We
acknowledge this statement but would identify the subtle meaning
as including civil disobedience when a people are about to be
deprived of their fundamental rights of citizenship and national
identity as is the case in the Island Home of the 'Rights and
Liberties of Englishmen ' which became the clarion call of the
new emerging citizens of the United States of America. In the
United States they have their Supreme Court which protects the
American citizen and the integrity of the Constitution of those
United States of America. In England we have not been so
fortunate as our unique Constitution was protected by the
Solemn Oath of the Queen and HER MINISTERS and a fat lot of good
were they in saving our unique parliamentary democracy and the
accustomed 'Rights and Liberties of Englishmen']
We
should respect each other as rational beings by trying to
achieve our goals through reason and persuasion rather than
threats and coercion. That, and not a desire for "economic
efficiency," is the primary moral reason for opposing government
intrusions into our lives:
GOVERNMENT IS FORCE-NOT REASON.
People
seem to think I [Ron Paul] am speaking of principles foreign to
the Republican tradition. BUT listen to the words of Robert
A.Taft, who in the old days of the Republican Party was once its
standard bearer:
'When
I say liberty I do not simply mean what is referred to as
"FREE
ENTERPRISE"
I mean
liberty of the individual to think his thoughts and live his own
life as he desires to think and to live; the liberty of the to
decide how they wish to live, what they want for breakfast and
for dinner, and how they spend their time; liberty of a man to
develop his ideas and get other people to teach those ideas, if
he can convince them that they have some value to the world;
liberty of every local community to decide how its children
shall be educated, how its local services shall be run, and who
its local leaders shall be ; liberty of a man to choose his own
occupation; and liberty of a man to run his own business as he
thinks it ought to be run, as long as he dies not interfere with
the right of other people to do the same thing.'
As
George Washington the First President of the United States of
America added:
The
great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in
extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little
political connection as possible...Why quit our own to stand
on foreign ground? Why , by interweaving our destiny with
that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in
the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humour or
caprice?
[Millions of people in England have said the same thing in March
2009 and over the past 36 years about the totalitarian entity
calling itself now a UNITED STATES OF EUROPE. The above speech
is as true today as it was then as age is no barrier to TRUTH.
There
is an abundance of wise advice throughout the work of Ron Paul
on LIBERTY which as he continually states has been spoken by so
many others over the past centuries since the birth of the
United States of America.]
We
will conclude the present extract of the work with the words of
John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts (1825-9) 6th President of the
United States.
Mr
Paul first states the 'some Americans may be familiar with the
admonition of John Quincy Adams that America does not go abroad
in search of monsters to destroy. But his sentiments extended
well beyond this oft -cited maxim. FIRST, Adams considered what
could be said in America's defense if anyone were ever to wonder
what she had done for the world.
[I]f
the wise and learned philosophers of the elder world... should
find their hearts disposed to enquire what has America done for
the benefit of mankind? let our reply be this:
AMERICA, with the same voice which spoke herself into existence
as a nation, proclaimed to mankind the inextinguishable rights
of human nature, and the only lawful foundations of government.
AMERICA, in the assembly of nations, since her admission among
them, has invariably: though often fruitlessly, held forth to
them the hand of honest friendship, of equal freedom, of
generous reciprocity. SHE has uniformly spoken among them,
though often to heedless, and often to disdainful ears, the
language of
EQUAL
LIBERTY- of EQUAL JUSTICE and of EQUAL RIGHTS; she has in the
lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception,
respected the independence of other nations while asserting and
maintaining her own; SHE has abstained from interference in the
concerns of others, even when the conflict has been for
principles to which she clings as to the LAST VITAL DROP THAT
VISITS THE HEART.
Adams
then described the foreign policy of the American republic:
'WHENEVER the STANDARD of FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE has been or
shall be unfurled, there will be HER HEART, HER BENEDICTIONS and
HER PRAYERS be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to
destroy. SHE is the WELL WISHER to the FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE
of ALL. SHE is the CHAMPION and vindicator only of HER OWN.
SHE will COMMAND the GENERAL CAUSE by the countenance of HER
VOICE, and the benignant sympathy of HER EXAMPLE. SHE WELL
KNOWS that by once enlisting under OTHER BANNERS than HER OWN,
were they even BANNERS of FOREIGN INDEPENDENCE, SHE WOULD
involve HERSELF beyond the POWER of EXTRICATION, in all the WARS
of INTEREST and INTRIGUE, of INDIVIDUAL AVARICE, ENVY and
AMBITION, which assume the COLOURS and USURP the STANDARD of
FREEDOM. THE FUNDAMENTAL MAXIMS of HER POLICY would insensibly
CHANGE FROM LIBERTY to FORCE... SHE MIGHT become the DICTATRESS
of the WORLD. SHE WOULD NO LONGER THE RULER OF HER OWN
SPIRIT...'
Ron
Paul later comments: To those who say that the attackers are
motivated by a hatred of Western liberalism or the moral
degeneracy of American culture, Scheuer points out that Iran's
Ayatollah Khomeini tried in vain for a decade to instigate an
anti-Western jihad on exactly that basis. IT WENT NOWHERE. Bin
Laden's message, on the other hand, has been so attractive to so
many people because it is fundamentally defensive. Bin Laden,
says Scheuer, has " spurned the Ayatollah's wholesale
condemnation of Western society," focusing instead on "specific,
bread -and-butter issues on which there is widespread agreement
among MUSLIMS...
...
Scheuer told reporters: " About the only thing that can hold
together the loose coalition that Osama bin Laden has assembled
is a COMMON MUSLIM HATRED FOR THE IMPACT OF USA FOREIGN
POLICY...they all agree they have HATE USA FOREIGN POLICY. To the
degree we change that policy in the interests of the United
States , they become more and more focused on their local
problems." That's not what a lot of our talking heads tell you
on television every day, but few people are in a better position
to understand bin Laden's message than Scheuer, ONE OF OUR
COUNTRIES FOREMOST EXPERTS ON THE MAN...
[We
shall from time to time include other extracts from the work of
Senator Ron Paul but why not get this most informative and
knowledgeable book which will give you HOPE for the future of
DEMOCRACY and the LIBERTY of the INDIVIDUAL which is in the
HEART and FRAME of a modern CRUSADER.
