If you're a Ron Paul supporter, you've likely seen an almost insurmountable mountain of odds placed against you and your favorite candidate. What's one more?
If it weren't already a virtual impossibility, in an alleged democratic society, for a non-establishment candidate to have a chance at becoming the nominee of a pro-establishment political party, it may be now.
Monday morning was host to the fulfillment of a new program run by the establishment's media. One that fully displays the totality of its desperation and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make sure Ron Paul doesn't become the nominee.
Declare an alternate reality.
Evidently, if the reality taking place isn't going to cut it, all you have to do now is pretend it doesn't exist and go with a different one altogether. Done deal.
It doesn't matter that, back in May, Ron Paul had already won a five state plurality of delegates, the majority of delegates from any particular state, five being the minimum needed to appear on the first ballot at the RNC. Although reluctantly and somewhat quietly, it was even reported on at the time by the same establishment media that Paul had accomplished that hurdle.
Some outlets reported only the five, some as many as 8, while others reported Paul as having won 11 states at that point.
In order to make it that much more difficult for Ron Paul to have a shot at taking the Republican nomination, however,they decided that was no longer going to be the case.
It was already known Ron Paul didn't have the best chance in Nebraska, he wasn't doing as well as he would have liked in that state's county and district caucuses. His delegates weren't getting themselves elected in those regional elections which meant there wasn't going to be as strong of a showing for Paul at last weekend's state convention. This was a no-brainer.
If your delegates don't make it in force to the state convention, your position is minimized as a candidate with very little to no real voting power. If it's already expected Romney will have more delegates at the convention, it's likely he will walk away with more delegates to the RNC. It's very simple math.
Therefore, a little less than two weeks before the Nebraska state convention, the media decided to run the scam that Paul only had a four state plurality of delegates at the time and still needed one more state win to see his name on the RNC's first ballot.
Just as expected, Paul walked away with only 2 state delegates from Nebraska to the RNC and now the media is using the scam to act as if he is ineligible for so-called first ballot access. They now want you to think Paul “still has yet to achieve the needed 5 state plurality.” A total and outright double-cross.
It seems as if no amount of fighting for honesty and fairness has been enough to see justice in the process. It seems as though nothing the people do will be good enough for the establishment and its so-called right-wing, even if those things mean lawfully participating and voting.
Despite Iowa Straw Poll shenanigans, multiple stolen elections, Ron Paul delegate bullying and intimidation, unlawful arrests and broken bones, total media demonization and a complete and brazen disregard for the truth about Ron Paul's policies and chances, supporters nonetheless scratched and clawed their way to an actual spot on the RNC ballot. Only to see the establishment attempt to strip that away, as well.
Perhaps it is the fact that they now realize Paul's supporters didn't fall for the previous scam, trying to make everyone believe delegates were “bound” to vote for Romney at the RNC, if Romney won their state's original primary or caucus.
Perhaps they are also concerned about the recent Lawyers for Ron Paul lawsuit filed in district court over everything mentioned here and even more done over the 2012 election cycle to prevent real and legitimate Americans from their constitutional right to participate and vote for whomever they choose.
Whatever the case may be, the question now becomes, how do they think they're going to get away with this one?
But just to add a little more mustard to the story, while still maintaining the false notion delegates are bound to vote for someone in particular, if they reach the RNC, the media even tried to console Gingrich supporters in an ABC News article after he dropped out. It was full of promises of future RNC hopes of their own. In it they even mentioned many of the states Paul had won at that point, without even mentioning Paul.
One can only wonder why they've never done anything like that for Ron Paul and his supporters?

Ron Paul proposes to restore our true Constitutional rights to us and TPTB are determined to defeat him and enslave us. no amount of treachery or violence is beyond our enemies in pursuit of their satanic agenda.

I could not agree with you more, Charles. However, these insane perverts are not near in control of how this is going to play out as they would like. If they try to pull it off and do not, then their entire managerie of sickos are gone and there will be no one left to do this again.
That is sufficient incentive for us to make sure they do not succeed in their endeavors. Should anyone over seas hear about our rebellion, or should our blogs disappear off the net, that means we are in the process of rebelling and they are not covering it. That is a signal for you all to start yours over there. Zionist bankers only. NO one else.
