Ron Paul says indictment story is far more damaging than media is

portraying, avian flu martial law provisions aimed at gun

confiscation

 

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones | October 12 2005

 

Congressman Ron Paul has accused the Bush administration of

attempting to set in motion a militarized police state in America by

enacting gun confiscation martial law provisions in the event of an

avian flu pandemic. Paul also slammed as delusional and dangerous

plans to invade Iran, Syria, North Korea and China.

 

Ron Paul represents the 14th Congressional district of Texas. He also

serves on the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee,

and the International Relations committee.

 

Paul appeared on the Alex Jones show yesterday and raised some

interesting points about the possibility of imminent indictments of

top Bush administration figures.

 

" I think there's a lot more excitement coming and it's not going to

be good for the Republicans, " stated Paul.

 

" The things that I hear have to do with Karl Rove and Abramoff and

that's much much worse than anybody would believe and it involves

DeLay as well. "

 

 

 

" And that type of an indictment will be much more serious than the

indictment of shifting campaign funds around.....there's some

political infighting which could make that really interesting. "

 

On the subject of the police state, Paul stated,

 

" If we don't change our ways we will go the way of Rome and I see

that as rather sad.....the worst things happen when you get the so-

called Republican conservatives in charge from Nixon on down, big

government flourishes under Republicans. "

 

" It's really hard to believe it's happening right in front of us.

Whether it's the torture or the process of denying habeas corpus to

an American citizen. "

 

" I think the arrogance of power that they have where they themselves

are like Communists....in the sense that they decide what is right.

The Communist Party said that they decided what was right or wrong,

it wasn't a higher source. "

 

Paul responded to President Bush's announcement last week that he

would order the use of military assets to police America in the event

of an avian flu outbreak.

 

" To me it's so strange that the President can make these proposals

and it's even plausible. When he talks about martial law dealing with

some epidemic that might come later on and having forced quarantines,

doing away with Posse Comitatus in order to deal with natural

disasters, and hardly anybody says anything. People must be scared to

death. "

 

Paul, himself a medical doctor, agreed that the bird flu threat was

empty fearmongering.

 

" I believe it is the President hyping this and Rumsfeld, but it has

to be in combination with the people being fearful enough that they

will accept the man on the white horse. My first reaction going from

my political and medical background is that it's way overly hyped and

to think that they have gone this far with it, without a single case

in the whole country and they're willing to change the law and turn

it into a military state? That is unbelievable! They're determined to

have martial law. "

 

 

 

Paul opined that the martial law provisions now being promoted by the

Bush administration were a direct response to people's unwillingness

to relinquish their firearms, as was seen in New Orleans after

Hurricane Katrina.

 

" I think they're concerned about the remnant, the remnant of those

individuals who don't buy into stuff and think that they should take

care of themselves on their own, that they should have their own guns

and their own provisions and they don't want to depend on the

government at all and I think that is a threat to those who want to

hold power. They don't want any resistance to their authoritarian

rule. "

 

Paul opined that the government was on a delusional power trip that

threatened the country.

 

" These guys are ready to start a war with Iran, Syria, North Korea or

China. They can't possibly do that, it's so insane, we don't have the

money, we don't have the troops, we probably don't even have the

ammunition. "

 

" But, if they are truly delusional they just might do something

that's totally irrational. "
