“I Believe In The Black Swan”: Ron Paul And Tucker Talk Ukraine, US Interventionism, And ‘The Most Important Thing’

Via ZeroHedge

Ron Paul and Tucker Carlson sat down for an in-depth and thought-provoking exchange spanning U.S. foreign policy, the philosophical underpinnings of government intervention, and the overarching consequences of monetary policy.

Subscribers to the Tucker Carlson Network can see the entire interview here…

On Ukraine

Paul, a longtime critic of US foreign policy – particularly interventionism, slammed America’s involvement in the Ukraine war. Carlson played a soundbite of Paul in 2014, when the United States was deep into the reformation of Ukraine.

“We’ve already spent $5 billion over the last ten years trying to pick and choose the leadership of Ukraine … And then we participated in the overthrow of the Yanukovych government,” (for which then-VP Joe Biden was point-man within the Obama administration).”

And I take a noninterventionist foreign policy position. It’s not our business. It doesn’t serve anybody’s interests. It’s part of the same thing that led us into the disaster in the Middle East. So a lot of people die and a lot of money is spent…

-Ron Paul, 2014

Carlson asked Paul just how he knew all that in 2014, to which Paul replied: “Sometimes the people who are running their operation gives you an idea, like like Victoria Nuland,” who he called “the worst kind of warmonger.”

“Who benefits from these bombs being dropped?” Paul continued.

On Monetary Policy and Economic Principles

According to Paul, America needs to “go through rough tumble times because the price always has to be paid,” adding “How do you liquidate the debt? You know, we can’t walk away from that debt.

When asked by Carlson how to do this, Paul said that the government would essentially inflate their way out of it.

You print money, and every time you print money, the value of the dollar goes down. So the value of the debt goes down … If you double the money supply and prices go up by 50%, it doesn’t work that way. But if you do that, the real debt, it goes down. So it’s a theft, it’s a tax, it’s evil.” -Ron Paul

“So you inflate your way out of it,” Carlson replied.

Yeah. And that’s that’s what will happen,” Paul said.

Non-Aggression

Carlson then asked a probing question regarding Paul’s comment that he speaks to the “remnant” of people who understand what’s going on, and who find each other – and that it’s more than just practical and political, but spiritual.

“I think that, that’s the same principle, you know, the non-aggression principle. Yeah. I think more Christians should know about non-aggression,” Paul replied, adding that he can’t stand lawmakers who “speak well and are dedicated to the Constitution and freedom and peace, and they go on and on. And, yes, they’re the biggest war mongers ever. They never voted for a nickel against the military and God complex, but they still call themselves a conservative constitutionalist.”

Changing Minds

While Ron Paul says he doesn’t have the perfect answer to what’s going on in Ukraine (“Well, now we have World War three on a doorstep. And every day we try to start another fight with Russia. And there we go. On and on. So it’s, it’s it’s not going to be stopped that way”), he said he’s encouraged by people changing their minds towards war.

Paul says that people are “starved for the truth,” and when they learn it, they learn that “things can get better.”

‘Don’t be a Counterfeiter”

According to Paul, it’s easy for him to discuss monetary policy because the US government is “a counterfeiter.”

“It’s illegal. The Constitution says that only gold. Silver can be legal tender. So. And here. Yeah. Guess what? 1930, 34, when, Roosevelt made gold illegal,” Paul said, adding that “it isn’t hard for people to understand counterfeit. And the other thing is, this is not hard for people to understand taxation. It’s a tax. It’s a vicious tax. It’s a tax on the poor in the middle class. And it enhances war. It enhances all this welfare.

How to Prepare

Carlson then asked Paul what the average person should do “if what you have predicted comes true,” which he thinks it “likely will” since “there’s no way to get out of the debt and a way to liquidate it except through inflation. Hyperinflation. How do you protect your family? Like, what practical steps do you take?

To which Paul replied, “I think people should know about how how oh, throughout history, even currently, we’re in the middle of it. You know, the depreciation of the money and what people can do so that they, they that I list is a real eye opener for me.

“But you can’t do that forever. I think we’re reaching this point where, some sudden thing is going to happen. I believe in that theory of the Black Swan.”

Drilling down, Paul suggested that people learn the “most important thing” to prepare:

Understand what’s going on in education, which is “why I happen to have a home schooling program, and I try to teach this stuff early because you can’t change it.”

Study and understand what’s going on in the world. Paul says that “you have your guns and you have stored food and all that, it’s not it’s not going to work,” adding “You have to know it’s coming and it’s very, very dangerous. And that’s why I love to see smaller units of government.” Essentially, the idea would be that in a “black swan” scenario, states would “act like they ought to act” and protect their people.

“But really, the most important thing you do is study and understand what’s going on.”

Own Gold. According to Paul (and what every ZH reader should already know), “Gold can protect you from inflation,” something that’s been “known for 6,000 years.”

“You know, just since the Bretton Woods broke down. August 15th, 1971. If you were betting on a gold coin or, you know, your dollar dollar lost 98% of its purchasing power and gold went from $35 up. And that was it. You know, it’s around 2000. Yeah, that’s a ways to go. Yeah. Because the dollar has a ways to go to. Yeah. They can’t they can’t they can restore the dollar. But but there has to be a liquidation of debt…”

“And it’ll come down,” Paul continued.

BUT (and it’s a big but…): “You can have your gold, you can have food, you can have your cabin and and guns and all this. I said it won’t matter if you don’t have your freedom.”

‘There Was A Coup And We Lost’

Paul lamented how big government is “taking stuff from us all the time,” and most of it comes from the middle class, who is “poor,” and “suffer the consequence of inflation.”

Very wealthy people don’t have to worry about the cost of a loaf of bread, but what they make, they, they they do have to, they have to worry about the big system. Because when the big system goes on, there’s not many people who are going to escape it. There will be some, Paul continued, adding that we have “deserted the constitution.

Paul says that the government has been taken over, the precise date of which was November 22nd, 1963 – the date JFK was assassinated.

“So you you say in this an I don’t think it’s a controversial statement anymore, but the CIA, of course, was involved in his murder,” Carlson said. “You said you believe that his fate was sealed on June 10th, 1963, when he gave a commencement address at American University. Fairly famous speech, which I plan to watch tonight, actually. About peace. Tell us what you mean.”

To which Paul replied, “Kennedy was controversial. He wasn’t always anti-war as he was leading up to his death. Yes. He had he had some foreign policies that I wouldn’t be endorsing. But he was he was coming this way,” adding “And, it became known that because he did speak out and I think it wasn’t that many days, you know, before his assassination.

Paul said that during all his time in Congress, he never heard anyone say that the CIA was involved in Kennedy’s assassination, aside from his close friends.

He did explain his take on the deep state…

At the end of the day, Paul says “the Republic is gone.

That said, Paul and Carlson agreed that one should have optimism and faith in the principles of liberty, non-aggression and personal responsibility, as Paul has a profound belief in the capacity for change and improvement.

I am a Christian, and if I were in Jerusalem, I might want to touch what remains of the Temple that long ago housed the Holy of Holies. God, of course, tore in two the veil that set apart the Holy of Holies, showing that the Old Covenant was now superseded by the New and Eternal Covenant in the Blood of His own Son, Jesus Christ. But Jesus had been in that Temple, and His Apostles preached there after His death and Resurrection, so it is still a place to be revered. I have no problem with Christians praying there.

1) It is not the Temple. If you are a Christian you should know not one stone was left standing on another in the temple. The Roman Jewish historian Josephus corroborates that fact, if the Bible isn’t enough. They burned the temple with the gold in it and had to pull up the stones to retrieve the gold.

2) It is blatant idolatry

3) Jews are not practitioners of any Biblical faith that has every existed. They invented their own religion in the intertestamental period. The Mormons are a more recent example of the same kind of apostacy.

4) It is associated with actual demon worship

5) to deny the temple was completely town down is to deny the Word of God, the authenticity of the New Testament, and the divinity of Jesus Christ. That’s why Jews get off on making gentiles do it.

Matthew 24:1-3
English Standard Version
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
24 Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Mark 13:1-3
English Standard Version
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
13 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Luke 21:5-7
English Standard Version
Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple
5 And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, he said, 6 “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 7 And they asked him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?”

I had the privilege of meeting Ron Paul in 1978, when he was running for another term in Congress. I was a senior at Rice University, and he came to the campus on a Saturday morning. There were maybe twenty of us students who showed up, and I don’t remember if there was even any press there, but, in the midst of his busy campaign schedule, he thought it worth his time to come make his case for libertarian principles to young people.

It was the first time in my life I had encountered some of these principles, and I was a little skeptical of them, but he was HUGELY persuasive, because of his intelligence; his earnest sincerity; his politeness and respectfulness toward his audience, with whom he engaged very actively, like the best and most caring of teachers; his calm, logical, humane reasoning, and his cheerful friendliness. (He was quite a handsome young man back then, too, which didn’t hurt!) All of which made him extraordinarily winsome — impressive enough that I remember that 45 years later, I still remember that meeting. In all that time, Ron Paul has never changed in essentials. Although I don’t always agree with him, I have never had any doubts about his core honesty and integrity.

The 1st time I heard him speak in public was when he ran as a member of the Libertarian party. It was held in a hotel conference room with about 25 people in attendance. The last time was in his ’12’ campaign at a rally in Tampa (opposite from the republican nomination of Mittles Romney) there were about 10,000 mostly young people screaming approval for him. Quite a remarkable man.

Swritchmond, Similarly I met him also, may have been same conference. (He did a lot of that.) I will name my place–It was at Auburn University at the annual Mises Institute meeting. Had a leisurely, impromptu breakfast with him and his then business partner, the late Burt Blumert of Camino Coins. I was very welcome but mostly listened because I realized I had met a great and principled man–a very rare event in this life.
He did not need to do any of the things we all know him for; he was a successful obstetrician before all that. He had a servant heart and was very down to earth for one so forward looking and thinking. He was optimistic and showed a real passion for education. Still does. The ignorant American voters missed their chance.

Odd, I have always found that the most well informed people become “bigots”, i.e. able to notice things you’ve been told you shouldn’t.

YMMV.

God is the Perfect Bigot if we’re going strictly by the dictionary definition.

Need I point out to you that NONE of us ARE God?

And since the subject has come up (and not by me) here’s my gripe with that faggot Paul…he’s a fucking RINO and always has been. And that makes EVERYONE who supports him a fucking RINO too.

Now you you fags got something else to thumb…once you pull them out of your asses and wipe the stupid grin off your faces.

God does not judge groups of people without knowing anything about the individual sin those groups.
God judges individuals.

Rand Paul is a libertarian. If he was a RINO, he’d be in some position of power and influence in Congress, or they’d be running him for President.

You probably feel that way about all libertarians don’t you Scruty.

Do you think they should all be de-platformed for talking about individual liberty and limited government? Or explaining how the Constitution is supposed to operate?

It is too bad that his intelligence and depth of thinking could not have been passed on to his son, Rand Paul who is just another Congressional poser and fraud.

Didn’t watch the whole video. Tucker is controlled opposition, and Ron Paul, although sincere, is quite naïve. He still hasn’t figured out that 9/11 was a false flag attack (or if he has, he won’t admit it).

Freedom comes from the barrel of a gun just like Tyranny does. You have to fight fire with a bigger fire. His ideas are correct, he just doesn’t go far enough. There’s a lot more of us than there are of the government thugs which makes our fire bigger and hotter. I’m just waiting for them to light it.

If we want to change the country to get it back on track we need to urge Putin to reprogram every missile he has with the GPS coordinates for Washington DC and make DC a swamp once again. The rest of the country will take care of itself once the canker sore that is DC is erased.

Black Swan ?

How much easier would it be for illegal invaders / terrorists / Isis to cross borders and do damage with a government shutdown ?
Economic effects ?

The minibus was released at 2:32 am and is 1,012 pages of $1.2 trillion taxpayer dollars.

And we are supposed to be voting on it tomorrow morning under suspension with no amendments allowed with the super scary government shutdown deadline threat looming tomorrow at midnight.

It takes 27.8 hours for the average reader to read 1,000 pages. I guess we are supposed to just pass it first and then find out what’s in it like Nancy Pelosi says.

This comes after months and months of hardly any effort to pass single issue appropriation bills while 3 Continuing Resolutions (continuing Pelosi’s budget) were passed.

Our Republican majority started this Congress with sweeping rule changes to stop this very behavior yet here we are on the verge of passing a second minibus under suspension with no amendments allowed and violating the 72 hour rule.

The Army just issued a “pamphlet?,” not sure what the hell it is or what authority is has, but it is out there pertaining to the recall of US aRMY RETIREES.

it goes into detail with definitions, ETC and provides previous guidence. Not sure what they are smoking in the pentagon but it cannot be good. (caution on gateway as it tends to get over-amped at times)
