Ron Paul: "Great Danger" of a Staged Terror Attack

In an interview with Alex Jones, congressman Ron Paul said there is a "great danger" of a staged terror attack or another Gulf of Tonkin type incident.

Time to redouble our 9/11 truth efforts folks. That's the best way to stop another false flag operation.

That conversation made me wonder whose side

Alex Jones was on. He did a good job scaring me while trying to put words into Ron Paul's mouth.

I'm for Ron Paul but didn't like the way Alex Jones treated him. Alex Jones can get scary whether he knows it or not and maybe if he reads this he might think about it. I listen to his show from my computer at work and there are times where I just can't take anymore of him and have to turn him off.
I don't think Alex Jones is doing it intentionally, it's just the way he is.
Ron Paul is getting shafted by the media and the Republicans.

Scary Alex?

I was thinking the same thing myself when I watched the video. He has some great ideas about the spirit of freedom and some sort of agenda to suppress that spirit, but his delivery can be quite over the top and he seems to attract a fringe element of like-minded extremists. On the other hand there is no denying the influence Alex has had on the Truth Movement or his sincerity. I know I will get argument on that point because there are a lot of people who believe Alex is some sort of disinfo artist. I don't understand that thinking because I have only ever heard Alex claim that 9/11 was an inside job and his support for the 9/11 Truth Movement has been consistent. I wish he would moderate his tone though. He would reach more average people with his message that way.

in my opinion Alex Jones has

in my opinion Alex Jones has hit a ceiling in his influence, and even if he did "tone it down"(and i agree that he should try to) he would not reach that many more people than he already does. the kind of information Jones spreads daily is a good way of getting banned from the MSM for life, so average people would never be exposed to him anyway. but still, it would be nice if he worked on his delivery, i dont disagree with that. but in the end, it should be more about the info he spreads and less about him(someting he stresses, he always tells people to verify things for themselves and to not only look to him for answers). i use his articles more than i use his videos/radio shows anyway.

I have the same problem

I have the same problem... First of all, I listen to his show just about every day, but recently there have been times when I've had to turn him off too. He goes over the top and seems to do more harm than good when trying to wake people up. But you have to figure how long he's been at this. And as he's said, he thinks it's coming to a head soon. Working around the clock and living and dying w/ every success and failure of the movement is bound to put people on edge.... I'm sure people in the Truth movement have been there before... Spending too much time researching, eating in front of the computer, listening to audio clips from radio stations not even in your area interviewing a physicist who explains tiny spheres and thermate signatures.... I never thought I'd be doing this to be honest. Sometimes I question AJ's methods, but I don't question his motive. He's made for the front line and he's absolutely fearless. Who hasn't seen that clip of him confronting George W. and being dragged off by thugs. Bush was only governor at the time but it always gives me chills. He showed more balls to that guy than anyone else I can remember. He believes in what he does and he is fearless, and he loves his country -- I'm quite sure of that.

No Doubting Ron Paul's Warning Of Staged Terror
Debunkers question accuracy of previous article but presidential candidate had spoken in Congress about staged Gulf of Tonkin style provocation

Debunkers and even some of our own readers have questioned the validity of an article we put out yesterday in which Ron Paul warned of the U.S. being in "great danger" of a staged provocation that would grease the skids for the bombing of Iran, but the Congressman made similar statements in a speech before Congress back in January.

Here's an example of an e mail we received from an angry reader.

"DAMN YOU, ALEX! Ron Paul did NOT say what you said he did in your article. THOSE WERE YOUR DAMN WORDS. Not his. Congratulations, ***hole. You have next to destroyed his campaign. Are you proud!"

"I listened to the show yesterday and I don't believe that's exactly what Ron Paul said," added another.

Debunkers and even some of our own readers have questioned the validity of an article we put out yesterday in which Ron Paul warned of the U.S. being in "great danger" of a staged provocation that would grease the skids for the bombing of Iran, but the Congressman made similar statements in a speech before Congress back in January.

Here's an example of an e mail we received from an angry reader.

"DAMN YOU, ALEX! Ron Paul did NOT say what you said he did in your article. THOSE WERE YOUR DAMN WORDS. Not his. Congratulations, ***hole. You have next to destroyed his campaign. Are you proud!"

"I listened to the show yesterday and I don't believe that's exactly what Ron Paul said," added another.

(Article continues below)

Listen to the MP3. This is the question that Alex Jones asked the Congressman.

"Congressman, just out of the gates, Cindy Sheehan on my show yesterday went further than anybody's ever gone, she said 'distinct chance of staged terror attack' or the government allowing that to happen, Bush is saying he doesn't care what the people want, the war will continue, they've set up the Military Commissions Act, they've set up the John Warner Defense Authorization Act, he's signed PDD 51 making himself literally dictator, he gave himself that power - how much danger are we in now with Homeland Security head feeling in his gut we're about to be hit, Republican memos saying they need terror attacks, they need Al-Qaeda to hit us to be able to continue the war, top military strategists saying it - how much danger are we in of some new Gulf of Tonkin provocation?"

"Well, I think we're in great danger of it," responded Ron Paul.

The Congressman agrees with the question, that the U.S. is in danger of a "Gulf of Tonkin provocation" or a "staged terror attack", as are both cited in the question. How anyone can infer anything different from this exchange is puzzling.

Ron Paul has appeared on The Alex Jones Show dozens of times and is fully aware of Alex's style and in what context the question was set.

Alex

Alex has to be some kind of gatekeeping disinfo, he simply would'nt be allowed to operate if he was'nt.
Along with his bullhorn he comes across as the archetypal left wing anarchist and will never be taken seriously by the
mainstream. I have watched his movies and they are great, but the content is always presented in the same way.
He seems to be the self proclaimed leader of the truth movement now, but his aim is to limit its growth and
to steer it in a direction that is least damaging to the perps.

kind of tough to come off as

kind of tough to come off as a leftwing anarchist when you speak of yourself as a "true conservative" and libertarian type like Alex Jones does. i dont disagree that he fails to speak about some of the true perps and maybe purposefully keeps certain things vague for whatever reason but is it because hes "gatekeeping disinfo"? i dont know, i tend to think those terms are completely over-used anyway but in Jones case particular it seems absurd based on how powerful he is at getting people active and presenting at least some damaging truths and the sheer number of people hes woken up. some people act like as soon as someone comes across Alex Jones they wont be able to move on and do their own research(which Jones himself tells you to do) and come to their own conclusions. hes not the leader of any 9/11 truth movement and hes said that himself before. hes just one man. and just speaking for myself, im only 24 years old and a few years ago when i was just waking up to some terrible truths like 9/11 Alex Jones was one of the first resources online i came across that confirmed some of my worst suspicions about our system and government etc. his style was and is too harsh for some people and probably does hurt him in some ways but Alex Jones didnt keep me from coming to my own conclusions and seeking out ALL available evidence on whatever topic. but he HAS been a great resource on many things, 9/11 included. if he is "disinfo" then hes doing a pretty terrible job in my opinion. he only reaches so many people and i tend to think most of those people are at least somewhat like myself and dont think that ALex Jones is the be all end all and will come to their own conclusions. people "like us" for lack of a better term are usually curious and skeptical people by nature, thats how many of us got here in the first place(questioning 9/11 etc.). give people a little bit more credit, i know some of his "fans" are a bit rabid and too similar to him but i personally think hes a net plus.

Ron Paul's views on 9/11

If anyone's interested, Ron Paul was on the Pat Gorman show back in June where he gave a rather detailed answer regarding 9/11.

Among other things, he questions Bldg 7.

Take a listen to this clip of just the call regarding 9/11:
