We Have Been Played By Him Enough

By Gordon Duff, Senior Editor

For years, we have been told how Ron Paul supported a new investigation on 9/11, he is quoted continually on this.  In reality, his is a “denialist” of the American Holocaust.

Not just that, listen to this idiot for a minute or two, he is an absolute moron, even by Bush standards.  I do so love Texas, despite the poverty and wealth, the trash everywhere, breathing methane, Texans are people of rare character.  I spent a portion of my life there in the oil patch, love the oil business in every way and love Texas.

There was a time when I had hope for Paul.  I also loved the things Dennis Kucinich said until I found him in bed with oil and defense contractors, shilling for Gaddafi and the Mossad.

Now former CIA and Defense chief, Robert Gates tells us that everything the ‘alternative press’ has said about President Obama and Israel, despite idiotic statements Obama himself has made, is false and that both Obama and Biden are trying to dump Israel as more than a liability and embarrassment but something perhaps “unspoken.”  Gates calls them an “ungrateful ally.” 

With the Tea Party recently returned from a junket to Tel Aviv, fresh with new ideas, cuts in military pay, social security, veterans benefits and full deregulation of the banksters topping the list, Ron Paul was a hope to many.  I so hate writing this.

On the other hand, Ron Paul, worse yet, good friend of one of my best friends, is turning out to be dishonest.  Sibel Edmonds gutted Paul this week on her blog and on VT:

Is Ron Paul Still “Ron Paul?”

Bruce Fein: It Boils Down to‘Principle’

Final: The Facts, Bruce Fein, Ron Paul, and
the Next Step

 

Today is Day 7 on the campaign to raise awareness and alert re Bruce
Fein, the greatest threat to the Ron Paul Camp to date. It may be my last one
depending on the public response and feedback we receive from the already active
and vigilant ‘true’ Paul supporters. I am going to start with one last response
to Bruce-Mattie Fein agents who have hijacked several websites to deflect
attention from the facts and the real issues. If you go and read the propaganda
written by the Feins’ agents you’ll see why I refer to them as ‘agents.’ Either
due to certain omega fatty acid deficiencies or natural genetic misfortune,
these guys slip and make clear their close associations with both Bruce and
Mattie Fein. Now, allow me to provide you with a concrete rebuttal to some of
this misinformation that is being spread and planted by Feins’
agents:

“So what if he is representing foreign agents, foreign
governments or foreign groups. He is an attorney after all, and it is his job to
represent these people?”

Last time I checked attorneys represented their clients in
courts. Last time I checked legal cases were not brought by attorneys before the
CIA. Last time I checked lawyers did not argue their clients’ cases before State
Department operatives. And last time I checked legal representation did not
extend to going to Congress, wining and dining representatives, and funneling
money into their pockets. Did I miss something when I checked all this last
time?! Because this is what Bruce Fein writes and markets about the services he
provides for foreign agenda clients, and if you read you hardly, if ever, come
across any mention of legal-attorney representation:

“The Lichfield Group features unrivalled government, media, and business
experience. Exemplary is the Group’s high level connections with the Department
of Justice, the Department of State, and the Central
Intelligence Agency, on the one hand, to The New York Times, The
Washington Times, The Wall Street Journal, and nationwide broadcast or cable
networks on the other.

Whether a client is a giant corporation handcuffed by ill-conceived
United States government policies or a foreign government anxious to
influence the decisions of Congress, the President, agencies, the
judiciary, or State governments, The Lichfield Group is armed with the skills
and contacts indispensable for success.”

Just to show my generosity and kindness towards the IQ-challenged Fein agents
I am going to recap: Bruce Fein is a foreign agent-lobbyist and that has nothing
to do with ‘legal representation.’ He represents foreign agendas before the CIA,
the State Department, the Congress, and the White House… Courts ain’t got
nothing to do with this in-name-only ‘attorney.’ Where did you guys ever hear of
cases being brought before the despicable Central Intelligence Agency-CIA?! What
exactly are this Bruce Fein’s ties and close connections to the CIA and State
Department he keeps bragging about?!

“Bruce Fein is a fine attorney. Regardless of his shady foreign
ties and businesses, as the Chief Legal Advisor to Ron
Paul Campaign he is bringing his highly regarded attorney expertise and
services!”

As I am writing this piece, as has been the case
since the ruling
issued by the Congressional Ethics Committee, there is a fine group of legal
experts who are working on getting the Bar Association to investigate and
hopefully suspend Mr. Fein’s attorney license. This is a gigantic public
scandal, not an allegation,
people:

“In a statement released on August 5, the House Ethics Committee ruled
that Rep Jean Schmidt has received multiple improper gifts totaling $500,000
from the Turkish Coalition of America (TCA) between 2008 and 2010. The Committee
ruled that Schmidt must pay the money back, However, she will not face sanctions
by the House as she was able to pin the blame for her behavior on her attorneys
Bruce Fein and David Saltzman.”

After investigating the case, the Ethics Committee says it was Bruce Fein who
intentionally misled his client Rep. Schmidt and funneled half a million dollars
of foreign lobby money to the Congresswoman. As I stated before,
there are only two possible scenarios here:

His two possible explanations for this case would be: 1- I did not tell
my client that my legal representation of her case was part of foreign lobby
money funneling to her; 2- My client was fully aware of the foreign lobby
bribery nature of my

legal representation and services, but to protect her and my foreign
bosses I took the blame. Under either explanation one glaring point remains
clear, and that is the lack of ethics on behalf of the involved attorney-Bruce
Fein.

Feins’ agents are out there trying to persuade the Paul Camp to ‘forget
Fein’s foreign lobbyist status and businesses’; that ‘you’ve got a darn good
attorney as your chief legal advisor.’ It is not any of my ‘allegations’ they
are countering here; it is the official findings by the House Ethics Committee.
How is it going to look for Ron Paul and his supporters if and when it is
announced that Bruce Fein is being barred from legal practice due to unethical
practices as an attorney?! Who is going to defend Ron Paul for picking this kind
of an attorney for this kind of high-official position?! What will the public
say? The presidential candidate who picked a crusty foreign lobbyist and a
barred attorney as his chief legal advisor?!

I did not have to invent Bruce Fein’s Foreign Lobbyist status. It is in Mr.
Fein’s resume and his past and present practices, showcased by him right here.
Mr. Fein’s intimate associations with the CIA, the State Department and the
White House are not based on any allegations; it is in his resume as written by
him. Mr. Fein’s position and membership in the Neocon Nest AEI is a fact that is
highlighted and used by him when needed.

The ruling on Mr. Fein’s foreign lobbymoney funneling scheme is not some rumor; it is in an official congressional
report. And finally, it is very hard for me to believe that the propaganda,
misinformation and personal attacks on me recently could possibly be coming from
any ‘true’ Ron Paul supporter. We are talking about libertarians, and
libertarian-leaning people who refuse to stop the critical thinking process and
readily summit to any authority. Take a look at the following propaganda example
from the Daily Paul website, and tell me if this jibes with the Paul Camp
motto:

“I’m all for questioning things, but in the context of a presidential
campaign, our leader is Ron Paul. His decision is to keep Fein. Back him up,
despite your opinions.”– Road Runner on Wed, 08/31/2011 –
13:40.

Since when do Ron Paul people advocate for a monarchy-kingdom where followers
must follow their king/leader blindly without question? This is disgusting. A
disgrace to any libertarian minded person! Here is another one:

“An adviser may not be central in the campaign, and could be there to
simply “bolster the appearance of the management team”, just like they do with
company investment portfolios. It even might be for the purpose of gaining some
acceptance from neocons by having the AEI adviser, even though RP is not neocon
oriented and might not even take any advice from him. In the end, I have to
consider RP to be capable of making these decisions. He is experienced and may
have some reasons and knowledge that we do not see.” – Big T Wed,
08/31/2011 – 12:25.

What are these people saying? It is totally okay if Ron Paul hired this guy
in order to expand his base to include neocons?

Okay, I am not going to waste my time with mind-boggling quotes attacking me
personally, advocating a dictatorship style following, planting misinformation,
and most importantly attributing all that to Ron Paul supporters. Instead, here
is my message to all in the ‘true’ Paul Grassroots network: It is okay to think
highly of Bruce Fein’s speeches-writings on State Secrets Privilege and some
First Amendment related topics. I’ve read some of those, and I happen to like
the content.

Fein has been in and around the Paul Camp, giving speeches and
interviews since 2008. I had no problem with that. Have the man, pay the man, to
write and publish articles. That’s fine. But do NOT let this man inside as a
strategically positioned insider.

Do not let this man become Ron Paul’s Chief
Legal Advisor. A crusty foreign lobbyist, an unethical attorney involved in
money-laundering-funneling for foreign agents, a CIA-State Department Insider, a
known AEI Neocon, a covert Israel supporter, a man who has been playing all
sides-from the ACLU to AEI to Turkey to Pakistan to Israel to Ron Paul…Well,
that kind of man has NO place in the Ron Paul campaign as an insider, and has no
place with Ron Paul.

I believe I have said and done my part for now. I have been
in this particular fight for way too long. Causes to fight for have not
decreased but increased. I believed this to be one of those causes worth
fighting for, including taking vicious attacks and insults from Paul imposters.
However, the decision is now yours to make and the next step is yours to take.
In the end, it all boils down to sincerity and principle. Please let me know,
and until then.
