00:00:09.000 You want answers?
00:00:11.000 Well, so does he.
00:00:12.000 He's Alex Jones on the GCN Radio Network.
00:00:17.000 And now, live from Austin, Texas, Alex Jones.
00:00:32.000 PrisonPlanet.com has been banned by the British government on all of their wireless networks and computer systems.
00:00:40.000 That's one of the top stories on PrisonPlanet.com right now is the attack on the freedom of the internet intensifies worse censorship in many areas of Europe and of course England than we see in communist China and total hypocrisy. 0.91
00:00:54.000 Oil jumps above $126 a barrel.
00:00:58.000 Blackwater, the evidence shows, the LA Times is reporting, working with federal law enforcement inside the United States.
00:01:06.000 Unique law lets police seize guns before a crime is committed in a type of pre-crime.
00:01:13.000 That's out of the Hartford Courant.
00:01:15.000 This is just some of what we're going to be covering today, but for the next 20 minutes, out of the gates, coming in hot, we have Congressman Ron Paul joining us to talk about all the big world events that are taking place right now.
00:01:32.000 Thank you.
00:01:33.000 Good to be with you.
00:01:33.000 There is so much happening, so much going on.
00:01:36.000 I've got all my questions, sir.
00:01:37.000 But today, Congressman, right there in the eye of the storm in D.C., what is most important that the listeners be made aware of?
00:01:47.000 Well, probably the ineptness, which continues, which everybody knows about.
00:01:51.000 I mean, it just gets worse every day.
00:01:53.000 They're absolutely frozen in dealing with all the problems.
00:01:57.000 You know, whether it's the debt, whether it's the foreign policy, whether it's the recession, depression that's going on, the rising cost of energy.
00:02:06.000 I mean, all these things are happening.
00:02:09.000 And I guess the biggest point is, is they don't have the vaguest idea what caused it, and they keep yelling and screaming at each other.
00:02:17.000 And shouting of what they should do, but it's all grandstanding political maneuvering, you know, to try to blame one side versus the other.
00:02:27.000 So it means to me that the American people can't have too many high hopes that the people in Washington are going to come up with any solutions here in the near future.
00:02:37.000 Let's get into the economy first.
00:02:40.000 Who's really running things in the private banking system?
00:02:43.000 Is it Bernanke, or as some financial analysts are saying, that it's really Paulson who has more power and is tied into the private banking system?
00:02:54.000 Well, I think it's hard for me to separate the two.
00:02:57.000 I mean, you don't become Federal Reserve Board Chairman if you're an independent-minded person.
00:03:02.000 You have to be part of that establishment.
00:03:04.000 You don't become Secretary of the Treasury in the same light.
00:03:09.000 But I would say, personality-wise, Paulson has a stronger personality, and he's more forceful and represents Wall Street a little more strongly than Bernanke, because he's been more academic.
00:03:22.000 But they still all serve the same interests.
00:03:27.000 But it may be that when the President's Working Group on Financial Markets meet, My guess would be that Paulson probably is leading the charge on all the decision-making.
00:03:40.000 Being on the banking committee, you've got a catbird seat on, or at least some ideas on what they're planning in the future.
00:03:46.000 Are they going to lower rates more?
00:03:47.000 Are they going to increase rates?
00:03:49.000 I mean, you're analysis, Congressman, of what their financial plan is.
00:03:54.000 Of course, you would think that somebody on the Banking Committee, a congressman and a ranking member on the Monetary Policy Committee would have a greater insight, but the truth is we're kept in the dark just like everybody else, and I can't attend those meetings, so I have to make some guesses myself.
00:04:11.000 But I would say, you know, that they'll probably not do anything right now, neither raise nor lower.
00:04:17.000 But the point being, if the markets are reassured that they made no significant changes and they kept it the same, Keeping it the same is still artificial.
00:04:26.000 You know, if the overnight rates are 2%, if they should be 6%, they're still artificially low and causing more problems.
00:04:34.000 So, everything that they do right now has to be wrong because they can't possibly know what the market should be telling us.
00:04:41.000 Congressman Ron Paul, quick break.
00:04:44.000 We'll be back in just a few minutes.
00:04:45.000 Get more into the economy.
00:04:46.000 Also, we'll talk about the big event coming up in early September in Minnesota.

00:04:56.000 Stay with us.
00:04:56.000 David J. Smith.
00:05:01.000 If they should be 6%, they're still artificially low and causing more problems.
00:05:07.000 So everything that they do right now has to be wrong because they can't possibly know what the market should be telling us.
00:05:14.000 Congressman Ron Paul, quick break.
00:05:16.000 We'll be back in just a few minutes to get more into the economy.
00:05:18.000 Also, we'll talk about the big event coming up.

00:05:33.000 David J. Smith, did you know that a plan was laid down in the 1870s to conquer the world for world government that has not been deviated from since its inception?
00:05:42.000 These conspirators said that they must have many revolutionary wars and three world wars.
00:05:48.000 Have we witnessed these wars of liberation since the 1920s and then World War I and World War II?
