“The greatest threat to a government is
people who think for themselves,” believes US Congressman
Ron Paul.
“If you condition people to everyday, all
day, depend on the government to do their thinking for them
– they will become more obedient.”
Paul said the billions of dollars spent by the American government
on intelligence could not prevent the recent terror attempt
in US skies.
“I think the responsibility has fallen on the $75 billion
bureaucracy that has 16 agencies that cannot co-ordinate their
work,” he said. “Airlines should be responsible
for who gets on their planes,” he added.
According to the congressman, all the efforts of the US government
to introduce new technical systems for airport passenger control,
such as body scanners, are “just to make us obedient servants
of the state, to teach us that they are in charge of us and
to tell us what to do, that we are robots and are supposed to
obey them.”
“It’s not that individuals are perfect, it’s
just that governments are always imperfect, they always make
mistakes and when they do – they are very painful and
they hurt each and every one of us.”
Paul said that America has made an amazing shift away from
traditional values while even former communist regimes are moving
in the direction of a free market.
“[The economy] should be micromanaged by the people,
by the consumer. In the free market the consumer is king,”
Paul said. “But in the US, as in most countries in the
world today, it is being micromanaged by the central government
and central banks.”
Speaking about the earthquake in Haiti, Paul said, “just
handing out money to Haiti is not going to solve their problems.”
According to the outspoken politician, the best thing the US
could do for Haiti in the long term would be to introduce the
country to sound economic policies so that they would not suffer
from poverty.
Commenting on the situation in Yemen, Paul said that the US
is “looking for another war” and that it is a “disastrous
continuation of the foreign policy of George Bush.”
"When the people find they can vote themselves
money, that will herald the end of the republic."
