    Congressman calls for less regulation, caption states he wants more!

    Bloomberg Misquotes Ron Paul Seconds After He Speaks 181208top3

    Thursday, December 18, 2008

    Another embarrassing corporate media faux pas was revealed when, during an interview with Congressman Ron Paul, Bloomberg put up a caption seconds after Paul called for less financial regulation, claiming that he had called for more.

    During a conversation about the Madoff scandal, Paul was asked if the SEC should be shut down, to which he responded, “It’s proven it’s a total failure, it isn’t a lack of regulation, every time a problem comes along we put on more regulations.”

    A few seconds later, a caption appeared on the screen which stated, “Breaking News: Paul Says We Need More Regulation, Calls SEC ‘Inept’”.

    (ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)

    This was a total misquotation and mischaracterization of what the Congressman said. He had stated a minute earlier that the only thing that required regulation was “the counterfeiting of money,” referring to the Federal Reserve’s relentless printing of dollars, but the caption implied that he had called for regulation of the SEC when he had in fact called for the opposite.

    Paul later said that more SEC regulations would only “compound our recovery,” again expressing his opposition to regulations.

    The air head host then engaged in double-think by claiming that regulation of the financial system was working but that it had not been enforced, begging the question, as one You Tube respondent commented, “How can someone claim regulation is working AND that it is not enforced? …The two are contradictory.”

    To any rational thinking person this is a contradictory statement, but the corporate media is hell bent on regurgitating the talking point that the financial crisis, created and made worse by the elite, will only be solved by giving more power and control to that same elite.

    The drumbeat for more “regulation” is so incessant that Bloomberg were apparently happy to take what Ron Paul said and turn it around 180 degrees in their favor by flashing up a ready made slogan, a completely dishonest maneuver but one performed out in the open without a care for accuracy or integrity.

      Wow, what a goonnnnnnnnnnn

      Paul’s the man, if anyone seriously listened to this interview, they would know what he was talking about. This just makes the media look stupid. Anyone familiar with Paul would know he wouldn’t be preaching more regulation to “fix” all our problems.

      when you allow, a name like MadOff to have anyregulations on your money and finantual

      Made – OFF yes he did….retards

    3. John N Says:

      I’ll say Ron Paul is the man for President when he says that 9-11 was an inside job. That is exactly what Jessie Ventura has said and so should Ron Paul.

    6. Agentbluescreen Says:

      This is a tempest in a shotglass. What he said was the regulations have been and are there-on paper. The problem is corrupt criminal regulators appointed by corrupt criminal politicians.
      Bad cops + Deactivated justice = Useless regulators!!

      Kafka-*WOW nice youtube video you morons*

      Good call. It*s not the 19 th yet where I am, but I am not going to click on this video anyways.
      Ron Paul is cool on some issues, but we need regulation in some industries, banking for instance.

    10. david Says:

      lol boycot youtube, i only boycot their terms and conditions of service;) Srsly, youtube is evil but that just means they need to hear the truth MORE not less.

    11. Eric Blair Says:

      Yes, Bloomberg is a shill for the elite, but they’re trying to play both ends against the middle. What will happen if/when their lawsuit for disclosure of bailout money is successful? The fraud is there for all to see, if only they would look. Two trillion difference in what the treasury reports (T-bonds), and what the primary dealers claim they sold. Conterfeit bonds sold to our good friends overseas, small wonder china quit purchasing and invested the cash at home, paying in dollars from phony treasuries. Ron is a good man but too invested in his singular goal of hard money/end the fed. A true leader will see much further and deeper. So many deceptions, it is almost unfathomable. Marx called for our destruction through economic war, our currency, and then revolt. Looks like someone studied his theory.

    12. Eric Blair Says:

      Perhaps I should clarify myself. When I speak of Marx and revolt, I can see we are economically destroyed, which will lead to riots/revolt but those who perpertrated this will produce a leader of the most common sort, a person of morals and empathy, by whom they shall continue their dominance. Therein lies the anti-Christ. Trust no one, for ill given trust will be your greatest enemy.

      I love how all these media puppets put up “breaking news” on the screen to further brainwash everyone. Nazis.

    15. Miles Says:

      God damn my blood boils when i think of what the MSM get away with.

      But then again, they are only sucessful because the sheeple demand their news be served with a pinch of reality, and a whole lotta make-up and boobs…..

      FUCK THE MSM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      No really, Fuck them in their neck!

    16. John Whitworth Says:

      I love Ron Paul and he is right on 99 percent of issues….but Wall Street DOES need more regulation.

      Regulation means someone is enforcing the rules and overseeing a bunch of Corrupt Wall Street bankers… If we had more regulation we might not have had ENRON/WORLDCOM or Madeoff style scams. Sorry but Ron Paul is wrong on that one.

    17. Libertarian Karaite Jew Says:

      To #15:
      Thats why they’re called “Whores”! But the good news is that these perfidious sell-outs will have the opportunity of attempting to explain their disingenuous earthly actions when they appear before HaShem on Judgement Day. Nothing like accountability, eh?

    18. Noah Shoah Says:

      Let us pray for the perfidious jew; that God Almighty remove the veil from his heart; so that they too may acknowledge Jesus Christ our Lord. Almighty an Eternal God, who dost not exclude from His Mercy even jewish faithlessness: Hear our prayers, which we offer for the blindness of that people.

    19. Jesse Says:

      John, let me try and explain why Ron Paul is right. If the SEC starts investigating everyone in Wall Street yet another big government program will have to be started in order to pay the investigators money and of course put someone or a group of Congressmen in charge of it. This will create more of the same spending in Washington which has gotten us in to quite a debt. What he is promoting is that people with investments be more careful and pay attention to what your investing in, instead of building another government agency to handle that for them. We all know almost all government programs run in the red.

      We are, as we always were the “New Atlantis”. If the evil eye SOB’s were putting secret messages on our money in the 1700’s how far have they gotten in three centuries. Lets not wait alot longer because all my research is leading in the same direction and this perfect world resembles a hell on earth. I am proud to see the actions of my steadily arming republic speaking far louder than words, if they want any more control they’ll have to take it.
      Check out the “Illuminati” series at thepiratebay.org and “The New Atlantis”, also to better understand our enemy research John D. of “Bloody” Marys’ court. No real Bill Shakespeare, aint that a bitch. One of the only things I respected about England, a total freemason farce. I saw something recently that I had to slow mo. a few times to believe. It was the detonation of an A bomb at the end of a film called “The Antichrist Conspiracy” about Parsons and the NASA rocket projects. It is speculated that a “golum” may have been contained in that “Trinity” explosion. Now I try to take everything I study with some objectivity, but what I
      see in that footage is unnatural. I am preparing for the worst and history has become interesting as a MF’r, I noticed something some of you might be able to use. A company I buy tactical equipment from recently put something interesting on there main page. It seems that, as of next year, they are going strictly military. Hmmmmm, and I thought the savior Obama was going to end all the conflicts, Shiiiiit!!! What does this multi-million dollar co. know that we don’t. Funny, they built that co. selling quality to civilians. Who are they selling it to know? http://www.Tapco.com, and all films and demons above available for study at site above

      Very suspicious. I saw that clip and it almost seemed planned, as if they had that line ready to insert the very second when he said something that some might misunderstand. Trying to discredit Ron Paul eh Bloomberg? Part of the system, part of the plan.

    32. Sense Says:

      Our Constitution Is Not Inspired By Divinity

      It’s striking that so few truly understand the basis of our Constitution. Arguments that the Constitution is somehow a divinely-inspired document show either a lack of education as to the ideas and principles behind the tenets of the document, or a deliberate attempt to pervert the true intent of the philosophies behind the Constitution. In no way are the Constitution or the Bill of Rights Christian documents. The philosophical underpinnings of each of these documents stem from Locke and Cooke, primarily Locke.

      #33 is right. Ben Franklin started the American Revolution as well as a few others and D.C. and the 77th parellel are more than suspicious. I swear it is right in your face if you just learn their code. So what is the conclusion; We better hit restart at all costs. I like the first American flag much better than the current pentagrams and ley lines pattern. Can you remember the sliced serpent and the words “Dont tread on me”, where we at?!? God damn us for thinking the devil was’nt in the details. They laugh at us every day, all day. I am no joke and all a real MF’r is waiting to do is show you he aint bullshittin, rise now or decend.

      What do you expect. We live in an Orwellian world now – black is white and white is black.

      Bloomberg is just following their doublespeak protocols.

    37. lucid Says:

      as far as our constitution being inspired by divinity, it is all about context. God in the sense they use, I propose can be anything you designate as GOD… Cristianity or other religious sects have no priority in the document, GOD is simply there to give us humans a #1 to our existence, and establish that a man is sovereign because his rights are ordained by whatever he chooses to designate as GOD.

      I’d wager if you reject the notion of a GOD granting your self-evident rights, government becomes your #1 and your rights granted by your government, a very fascistic relationship.

      To all my atheist brethren, I would rather belive in GOD. than believe in nothing: both are equally as provable.

      SCUM of DC bloomberg why so much scum don’t they know the will do away with them too their only users you dumb bastards what idiots your norhing to them there mass murders what future you have is none get behind RON PAUL get him in as PRESIDENT and you will be extremely wealthy with no taxes WAKE up you assholes.

    39. David C Says:

      In response to #33 in reference to the Consitution not being inspired by Divinity is foolish indeed. Take a look at history my friend…Every man that was involved in writing the Constitution were ALL Christians and based their lives on their beliefs, and the beliefs of 99% of the people at that time, which WAS Christianity. I’m not saying that the Constituion is a “Christian document” but when you look at Freedom of Religion, make no mistake about it, it wasn’t referring to ALL religions, it was literally referring to Christianity mainly and people’s right in worshipping God so freely. They DID NOT have that right back in Europe where they were oppressed and persecuted for their beliefs, and sometimes killed as well.

      Think about this for a second…Literally everyone living in this country at that time were Bible believing Christians. Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, etc. were religions that were NOT practiced or common at all. It would be literally unheard of for someone at that time to be anything other than a Christian. That’s just the way it was. And to say that the most important document ever written in this country’s history had absolutely no divinity inspiration whatsoever is obserd.

      Rober C, who cares if he is? All freemasons are not bad people. Good grief. My grandfather was a freemason his entire life and would meet fellow members (friends) twice a week for lunch and then they would sit on the front porch and whittle sticks as they talked about the weather. If he was plotting a world takeover while he and his senior citizen friends wear dried snuff spit on their overalls I think I would know since I spent many years playing dominoes with them. Some of you folks are complete goobs. You take one thing and run forever with it. You people are nuts. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD IS NOT A CONSPIRACY AND YOUR MAILMAN IS NOT SPYING ON YOU! Good lord.

      Maybe Bloomberg is the freemason trying to use RP as a free ride by misquoting him. Hey if Popes can be freemasons why not Bloomberg too? Maybe he is part of the Jewish Kabalah.?Not much difference then, is there?

      …also, there is some kind of reverse psych ops here on Bloombergs part because bloomberg demanded the FED to open their books. The Fed’s respnse to bloomberg was ‘It is none of your business”… Imagine that! We have a constitution which says the Peoples money is every bit the peoples business. Anyhow, Bloomberg is a posse or something…some kind of reverse psych op going on here for sure.

      Hey Robert C, I am not sure that it is relevant whether RP is a freemason. It may be useful to know but I too believe he is an honest and decent man. I also believe he shares many of my beliefs about tradition, religion and war. I think he’d make an awesome president and I hope he starts right now for the 2012 Ron Paul for president campaign. Although……….I truly believe deep down that the only way you become president, is IF you are SUPPOSE to be President. I know you know what I mean….Dave

      Most masons have no idea what the HIGH degree masons are up to just like your local police chief has no idea what the governor is doing every day.
      I know masons, my Grandfather was a mason, and none of them had any idea about the masonry so obviously, since they didnt know about it, it could not possibly exist!
