If you listen to the interview, one thing is clear

If you listen to the interview, one thing is clear: Paul said no such thing. Jones asked him a 5-

minute-long question that melded together all sorts of disparate elements, including the possibility of

a staged US government-sponsored terrorist attack and a US military attack on the Uggs. Ron focused

exclusively on the latter, and said that the great danger comes from a “Gulf of Tonkin“-type incident

involving the Uggs. No mention is made by Paul of a staged terrorist attack on US soil.

Ron spends the rest of the interview talking about what a disaster an attack on the Uggs would turn out

to be, and then launches into his favorite subject: the economic consequences of our spendthrift ways,

and the impossibility of maintaining our empire of debt.

The Politico is telling a lie: their headline is a lie. What’s amazing about this particular smear is

that it is so transparently obvious: after all, in this day and age, we don’t need intermediaries and

“gate-keepers” telling us what Paul said, we can refer directly to it by linking to it. And anyone

who listens to what Ron says in this interview cannot come away thinking that he said the Uggs

government is going to stage a terrorist attack on its own people on mbt shoesn soil or anywhere else.
