According to Politico, Peter Thiel has donated $2.6M to Ron Paul’s super PAC and has also donated $125K to Bilderberg. Not only is Peter Thiel a major contributor of Bilderberg, Peter Thiel is also elected to the steering committee of Bilderberg, according to official Bilderberg documentation. Bilderberg seems to own all the horses in the race, including Ron Paul.
The Rockefeller Foundation’s funding of Ludwig von Mises and Bilderberg’s funding of Ron Paul serves a purpose for the Rockefellers and the Bilderberg Group. The Austrian School of Economics and Ron Paul function as truth blockers, preventing libertarians from understanding the principle forms by which aristocrats plunder and enslave the toiling masses through the state-granted privileges of collecting land rents and collecting usury upon the money supply. Ron Paul and the Austrian School of Economics misdirect people into a false paradigm, disguising the feudalism of classical conservatism with a thin layer of classical liberalism.
The Peter Thiel donation is old news but worth repeating due to how little coverage it has gotten in the controlled truther media. The ones that have begrudgenly reported it, eg., alex jones, have dismissed it with risibly lame explanations such as Thiel merely wishing to buy into the campagne’s electronic polling data to see why Paul was so gosh darn popular.
I like to tell all the austerity austrians about how Menger, Mises and von hayek never made a free market dime in their careers, but rather sucked off the teets of the Rockefeller foundation. They were commissioned to write false alternatives to communism, just like marx did for capitalism, for the same 1%.
William Volker, in conjunction with the Rockefellers, promoted austrian economics spread in a political movement they created called Libertarianism. The Volker Fund financed and hence controlled all political groups and think tanks spreading this false message.
his donations and bilderberg attendance is old news. finding out he is an elected member of the bilderberg steering committee and is a major contributor of the bilderberg group signals he is not just a mere attendee but plays a significant part of the new world order if his peers are electing him on the steering committee. combine this with the corruption of economics and the rockefeller foundation funding of the austrian school of econonmics, the case against ron paul and the royal libertarians is stronger.
While this link of Thiel, who backed Ron Paul late in the game, to Bilderberg is an important revelation – inasmuch as Bilderberg is the ultimate advocate & expression of Corporatism and Paul is a very vocal opponent of Corporatism – Thiel’s backing could also have been done to detract from Paul’s campaign by smearing him as a stealth corporatist. I have seen many interviews and read many essays and speeches of Dr. Paul and don’t believe him to be a pretender. A sometimes compromiser, yes, but not a pretender. Perhaps he just had a weak point and accepted money from the Devil…thinking, “a contributor may think whatever he may, but I’ll use his contribution as I see fit.” Perhaps he should have declined the gift. But if I’m not mistaken, Mr. Thiel’s money was donated to Paul’s Superpac, which the Candidate cannot control or regulate, unlike his direct campaign funds.
That aside, while I am not a libertarian or a Classical Liberal, but an advocate of a combination of Mutualism with Market Socialism, and believe in a Publicly Owned central bank with not-for-profit member banks, I do quite respect Paul for his stances on International Policy, War, Civil Liberties, the Bill of Rights, the War on Drugs, the division between the Public and the Private sectors and the Government Transparency. In short, while I do not agree with much of Dr. Paul’s economic views, I don’t think he is an inside job, but a genuine advocate of Constitutional government and modern American Libertarian thinking.
to say the robber is innocent because someone else bought his gun for him to frame him is a circular argument and ignores the main argument which implicates ron paul, that ron paul still acted by taking the gun and performing the robbery.
ron paul is fully complicit in the crime because he promotes feudalism. he promotes the same economic darwinism as peter thiel. he accepted the money and used the money to promote what peter thiel supports. peter thiel was not trying to frame ron paul as a bilderberger. ron paul was using peter thiel’s money to promote peter thiel’s economic darwinism. ron paul not only accepted the money, he did the crime with it.
if ron paul actually promoted classical liberalism, the land value tax, and usury-free legal tender and didn’t create exaggerated beliefs about the dangers and costs of inflation while he warns nothing about the dangers and costs of deflation, there might be grounds to entertain your hypothesis that ron paul was being framed by peter thiel.
I will agree with you that some of the works by Mises and Menger were commissioned by the Rockefeller foundation, thus rendering their objectivity and sincerity suspect, but the same cannot be said of Marx. There is an old myth – which I have not been able to find a primary source reference to – that Rothschild or some other elite banker funded Marx. This is nonsense. Engels, the beneficiary of his father’s industrial operation, subsidized Marx, who got a bit of extra money as a corresponding reporter for the New York Times and some English newspapers. I’d like to see any credible defense or set of references to confirm that Marx was somehow some false alternative theorist controlled by financiers. This is complete rubbish, as far as I am concerned.
i think marxism was boosted by much larger and thus more diluted sources from the very beginning to the present day. marx was put in the forefront in financial capital’s mainstream media and in academia. henry george was erased by financial capital’s mainstream media and in academia.
there is a book written on the subject by fred harrison and mason gaffney. there is also another book written by the ludwig von mises institute’s robert andelson, who was more of a left-wing libertarian.
I’m sorry but i’m not convinced by your apologetics. To say that one is against corporatism and yet accepts money from the Bilderberg steering committee chairman is akin to saying one opposes rascism while taking donations from the KKK. Besides, Ron Paul is on congressional record stating that “there is nothing to fear from globalism … and one world currency …” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dH3_Lcfeac — two objectives that Bilderbergers have explicitly promoted through their memebership.
You are correct to assert that my analogy goes too far to imply that Engels did more than provide financial support to Marx. This does not diminish the strength of my point, however, as Marx’s intellectual indebtness belongs to the same financial elite. Early in his career he converted to Satanism http://www.scribd.com/doc/55716467/Richard-Wurmbrand-Marx-and-Satan; soon afterwards he came into contact with like minded individuals, most notably Moses Hess, that introduced him to the masonic lodges (eg., adam Weishaupt) and their beliefs which he later codifed as an economic system. Research the esoteric writings of the illuminati secret societies and you will see the direct source of all his ideas.
That socialism and communism were systems favored by the elite banking cabals is indisputable when you examine the facts presented in Anthony C. Sutton’s works: “Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1917–1930″; ” Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1930–1945″; ” Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1945–1965″; and “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution”
There he demonstrates with copious primary source documentation that communism was completely funded by the private central banks and built with technology provided by affilitated western corporations. It would have been impossible for communism to have survived otherwise. So much for marxism or communism ever being grassroots movements.
What do you think of Webster Tarpley and the American School of Economics?
tarpley is so close but so far…
All money is fiat money, including gold. It’s all an implicit understanding of the value of some irrelevant token. And who do you think has most of the gold now anyway? The problem is debt-based money, not fiat money. http://www.monetary.org

tarpley is so close but so far… I like that Keith. My gut tells me the same thing.
So, if libertarianism is a false ideology, what is the true one?
classical liberalism is the true ideology. geoism, geolibertarianism, classical progressivism, georgism, greenbackers, and the free soil party are more recent variants. right-wing libertarianism is classical conservatism, also known as feudalism and colonialism. it is unfortunate that many people view such modern classical conservatism of libertarianism as classical liberalism. we have gotten that far away from classical liberalism that we don’t even recognize or understand what it is.
So, what is classical liberalism, then? How is it different from what you call “royal libertarianism”? Is it different solely in the area o frights to land-use?
fundamentally, yes, but there are other areas of concern in regards to the privilege of unearned wealth being wrongly extracted from those who toil by private interests, such as national debt and credit as money, including gold which is a natural resource of limited supply, which must be borrowed at great cost for the working class to use as a medium of exchange and legal tender, not to mention that gold, like all private currencies, have unmanaged supply, resulting in the theft and destruction of deflation and the much less destructive theft of inflation.
inflation itself does result in a cost to holders of a unit of currency, and such inflation should be captured by the public rather than by private interests. inflation also allows economic growth and encourages production. it helps the poor much more than it hurts them. deflation, on the other hand, should be completely avoided. it is theft from production and all assets, other than the holding of units of currency. it harms and destroys production.
classical liberalism is about cooperative individualism, sharing the planet and securing freedom, justice, and equality for all, not just the strongest and wealthiest, not the social darwinism often supported by the robber barons, bilderbergers, neoconservatives, and right-wing libertarians.
@ Alex Wallenwein,
If you want a to get out of the false left-right-libertarian dialectial matrix within which the elites have everyone engaging in self defeating struggles, i highly suggest you check out United Front Against Austerity http://againstausterity.org/ . It’s an assembly open to all in the 99% wishing to preserve their economic rights against the Banks and Wallstreet. The activism is completely different than OWS in that it has specific strategic goals to stop austerity against the poor and working classes that does not entail socialism. In a speech given at the last UFAA assembly, Webster G. Tarpley explained the programatic activism as well as the economic changes that must be made to prevent a globalist one world tyranny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjrDv4xqMFA
the false left/right libertarian dialectial matrix? that’s a new one. to promote tarpley? who is so close but so far with his bandaid solutions which swings wildly at the limbs of tyranny but doesn’t strike the root of tyranny? which may increase job creation but which still transfers great sums of unearned wealth from the working class to the usurers and land speculators, which still taxes the working class and their toil to make interest payments to usurers and aristocrats around the world, imposing a trade tariff on american labor?
You know that the left, right and libertarian parties have been created long ago by the elites. Tarpley has debunked canidates from all three long before anyone else.
the root of the problems Tarpley addresses with his aim to seize control of the Fed and nationalize it. Also his tobin tax effectively brings transparency and oversight to derivative and hedge fund trading while also generating funds to fund social programs. Why should their victims also bear the cost? The rest of his program follows the interest free bonds that could be spend and lent into the economies of each indivdual state to manage as they best see fit.
Sure, he advances no policy regarding geoism , but that isn’t neccessarily a flaw in his program. He is a crisis manager and such things as a land value tax aren’t in his view important at this stage for the survival of the working masses. I have to agree. Taking back control of the currency will smash the elites faster than a land value tax.
Tarpley is nothing if not a pragmatic thinker and activist. Unlike many other in the movement that fearmonger in order to …. sell more food survival kits, berkey water systems, guns, ect …, tarpley has an avenue for everyone in the 99% to actively partake in.: middleclass conservatives can agitate for prosecution of banks in MERS, working classes can fight for right to form unions and strike, tarrifs on foreign goods, the poor can demand that social programs not be ended and be funded by the speculators that caused their penury.
He’s not perfect , but imo he and united front against auserity offer us our best practical avenue for substantive change.
wouldn’t a tobin tax just cause financial capital to flee offshore? while i like the idea of taxing usury, such taxation is just passed to the consumer.
land can’t flee. land value tax doesn’t get passed to the consumer. it does the opposite. it increases the supply of land and makes it more affordable.
if the government takes control of monetary origination, then usury is removed from the money supply and there would be true competition in credit. if government is printing rather than borrowing money, there would also be an increase in the supply of financial capital seeking an honest return.
the government should continue to remove barriers to make non-profit/mutual credit and insurance more available for more purposes.
states should not be allowed to print money, but they should be able to borrow at competitive rates from a non-profit credit union or through the issuance of bonds in the free market. the zarlenga (monetary.org) plan would also create a central reserve and states and local governments could borrow against the central reserve.
tarpley is close but his bandaid solutions tend to leak because they don’t cure the disease.
taking the federal reserve under control of the treasury and cancelling unsold national debt would help, effectively allowing the government to print debt-free money. the system would have already collapsed if we didn’t have $6T+ of unsold national debt.
a tobin tax and making capital gains taxed at the same rates of income would help make the system more fair if there was a proportional reduction of rates for the middle and lower classes. reduction of income tax rates on the working class would help make domestic labor more affordable for business. you would still have to deal with the fleeing of capital. you would have to implement tariffs on offshoring and outsourcing. tax breaks/incentives would be unfair.
bandaid solutions can help, but you have to be careful about the impact of policy on trade (fleeing of capital) and if the costs would be passed or not (hidden tax) to the middle class. for any tax increase on capital, you have reduce taxation of toil to make labor more affordable and so the costs aren’t passed to the consumer and you have to implement tariffs to prevent fleeing. such is complex and the actual implemented policy tends to create loopholes, have costs passed, and designed for the benefit of big business over small business and labor.
What a tobin tax does is tax the profits of wallstreet speculation that has no economic value whatsoever, such as derivatives and high speed alogorithmic spoof, wash, naked short,ect trades (transactions that manipulate market prices to steal wealth). It slows this activity down and brings this otherwise hidden pillaging out into the daylight for everyone to see. If enough people wake up to what’s going on, maybe the regulatory agencies such as the SEC will cease being feckless clockwatchers. In the meantime, a huge stream of our stolen money will be clawed back, even at the paltry 1% proposed by Tarpley on all wallstreet trades.
I like the land value tax. Along with an interest free currency, the american people could take back complete control of their economic lives, and enjoy the full fruits of their labors. In addition, Interest free loans to businesses willing only to operate in the USA, along with tarriffs on foreign made goods would eliminate the profitability of corporatist multinaitonals to outsource our jobs to slave/sweatshop labor countries. They won’t be able to compete with a model that creates geniune prosperity for everyone. Especially if you take away their tax breaks to do business abroad. Piss on the multinationals , they always leverage their risks with taxpayer money and keep all the profits anyway.
Did you ever try to explain a LVT to someone, even knowledgeable people in the truther movement? It’s a tough sell. I called in a truther radio program and they couldn’t wrap their head around the idea of not owning the land, yet being able to own property and fruits of labor on it, indefinitely. They thought i was advocating some insidious stealth brand of socialism. Perhaps i wasn’t the most articulate spokesman but imo LVT will take more time and effort to become understood than issues such as debt free fiat and a national bank. Get the latter implemented and a lvt naturally follow.
i agree with what you’re saying. i don’t agree with what tarpley is saying. tarpley is saying something different. he is close but far. tarpley should speak the full truth. he is in the position to do so and he should. half-truths get us nowhere and continues the problem if people don’t ever even get the opportunity to hear the full truth and a chance to understand the problem. if people like tarpley spoke the full truth, you wouldn’t get reactions from others like you were talking about some kind of strange stealth socialism. they would instead react with “oh, he is talking about classical liberalism, what tarpley, thomas jefferson, thomas paine, john locke, adam smith, william blackstone, j.s. mill, henry george, winston churchill, thomas edison, and others were talking about.”
There are some things i dislike about Tarpley hardball realpolitik programs, such as his dismissal of abortion and gun control mere “wedge issues”; or his preferance to hamilton over jefferson, and his disparagement of Andrew Jackson.
But what i do like, and what i’ve been trying to explain, can be found here http://tarpley.net/2012/12/03/to-win-new-york-fast-food-workers-strike-expand-the-struggle-with-a-program-of-citywide-demands/ and here http://tarpley.net/2012/12/02/draft-ufaa-farm-program-restore-the-american-family-farm/ An explicit program and a concrete plan to help people — right here and right now. Who else is leading this sort of activism, especially amongst the intellectual class?
