Old Ron Paul Video Warns of One-World Religion, UN Dictatorship

Rep. Ron Paul's presidential campaign has run into trouble recently after national media refocused on decades-old racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, and deeply conspiratorial articles published under Paul's name (and at least occasionally under his signature) in late 1980s and early 1990s newsletters.

The Texas congressman, who defended the newsletters when they first became a political issue in 1996, has since disavowed their contents repeatedly. But in a 1998 John Birch Society film unearthed by Andy Kaczynski, Paul endorsed some of the more paranoid ideas outlined in the Ron Paul Survival Report—including the the idea that a United Nations dictatorship was imminent

(clink on the link for the video).

As a narrator scarily intones that American churches will be forcibly shuttered under UN rule, Paul urges viewers to stay informed. "If the United Nations has their way, there will be curtailment of our right to practice our religion," he says. "They are not going to be believers in the right to practice our religion as we have seen fit throughout this country. And therefore individuals who are interested in this subject certainly cannot be complacent about what the United Nations is doing."

The scene is preceded by an image of of a building that's been converted into a "United World Temple" emblazoned with UN flags, and immediately followed by images of soldiers and guerillas fighting in the streets.

This is exactly what you'd expect from the John Birch Society, an organization that has spent four decades urging the United States to leave the United Nations. It's not what you'd expect from a serious Republican presidential candidate. It's not even the kind of language you tend to hear from Paul on the campaign trail, where he's more likely to talk about raw milk than the New World Order. And that's been Paul's best defense; the newsletters just don't sound like anything he's ever said.

That's partially true, but in the last few days, we've seen a clip (from 1990) of Paul embracing the idea that the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations are secretly running the country, and now this. Josh Marshall reminds us, meanwhile, that back in September, Paul said that the border fence might actually be used to keep Americans penned in. Setting the racist articles aside, Paul really did endorse some of the more out-there arguments in his newsletters.

Nah, NWO stuff isn't crazy... its been slowly unfolding for decades now.... but its still a long way off. And I imagine we'll all be dead before happens... especially the whole "UN closing churches" thing... which in my version of the NWO, it could care less about.

Awesome

He is really scaring TPTB. I expect even more such stuff to come flooding out over the next while.

What is really concerning to me is that even with all this he is still a better candidate than the rest of the stable

This I sorta agree with.

After all these "shockers" are things that many Republicans, politicians included, believe or practice as well.

The reason he can't be president isn't because he said Black purse snatchers run really fast, or that the UN is evil... its because he wants to audit the Fed and doesn't have an Imperialist foreign policy.

I also like how the Governor of Iowa said Paul winning their caucus would discredit it... as if historically it even has 50% accuracy in predicting who would get the nomination (it doesn't).

Well, in that case, it's crazy. The fact that we are slowly evolving toward supra-national organisations is just applied logic. In reality, it'd make sense and I'd like to have them overnight but people are just plain too stupid/attached to some romantic notion of nationalism to allow it.

Thus, while we know it's good for us and we're slowly moving there, it's not some kind of dark plan to take over the world. And thus it has nothing to do with confiscating the arms of some stupid Midwestern jerks or them worshiping some Aryan fantasy version of the Bible...

That will be allowed simply because it's of no import or relevance to global affairs.

As to Ron Paul - someone said, it's not because he got a couple of good ideas and can speak in complete sentences that he is not a kook. He still is. Even a broken clock is right twice a day...

Few decades too late, unless the illuminati have been spending the time brushing up their Chinese.
