Did The Suppression of Ron Paul Work?

[Plume]

Well...Did it?  Or are the people that far gone? what does this mean to us, when clarity is laid out on a platter, but no one takes from it, yet they say they're hungry? It's heart wrenching to see this play out.
How do people become so unfocused with the discussion in their faces, but somehow become lured to hollow chatter in the exposed stale political spin game, but they can spot when their children pit against each other. yeah, they know and spot the games their children play on them and among the other children:

"Marc put that down"!  "We don't hit NonE in the head with the "Charlie and Lola" DVD case"!  no no no... I know what youre tryin to do....get back over here. you think you're slick don'cha? ah huh! come here! Give me that! give me that! :tongue:

How is this goin' down like this? you guys know it! You listen to everybody speaking and when/after Ron Paul would speak, you'd feel the rest of the panel had just wasted your time. I'm just talking the practicality of this "vote who you think has the message you agree with". The outcome is hugely and amazingly dumb, according to the result of why someone has chosen vague-ality over straight identification of the fallacies in policy along with the formula to fix the problems that caused them to become fallacy.
shaking my head left-to-right....why'd I have to move to earth!?  Why?

Yeah, I'm rethinking the whole "move to earth" thing, too!

Sam Harris has just published a small study he and some others have done on the way the human mind processes "belief."  It is quite interesting.  Things we agree with are processed in a different part of the brain from those we question.  Who knows the evolutionary benefits here, that remains to be speculated upon, but it DOES lead to a new place to go in the investigation of how we think and make decisions.

Perhaps simply noting NonE's directional post suffices in emphasizing how complex this area is.  That said, I wonder if a key focus we might be able to cover at least a bit is on the aspect of your post's heading:  "The Suppression".  Or as it's heard more by some: THE SUPPRESSION!!!!!!! ?  [to one day perhaps be enshrined in folklore akin to The Great Depression?]

Was there actually, factually suppression?  Or more specifically: was there actually Press suppression?  But more closer to point: was it more along the line of simply playing on The State of mind, as minds United?  If there was suppression-- or to allow --what suppression there was seems as indicative of the problem as what, or in this case who, is suppressed, no?  Can "food" be so suppressed from a truly hungry individual, or individuals?  Particularly with today's "supermarket" called the "super highway" (aka the web)?  Super Market!?!

I'd offer that The Suppression was By The People, For The People, thus Of The People's will.  Not to even get into Ron Paul's message being but yet another "white" rabbit trail, imho-- more oppression suppression.

Since I've become aware of the psychological dynamics of The Family as it currently, culturally, popularly is manifest today, I'm less and less surprised at how and why The State-- which if but of course only individuals who were all once children, with beliefs certain acting upon those beliefs-- The State, with it's tools like "suppression", currently perpetuates.  One expression captures it a bit, as "And the people dishonored and disrespected truth, and the people loved it so" ("loved" that status quo, of StateU.S. quo).  Which is but a way of looking at how easily, akin to naturally children "love" abusive parents.  After all, what is "abuse"?  Or by what Authority? 
Sadly, most have only had patros-- fathers, patriots*-- who've Educated them rather than nurtured and nourished them.  By Education, I mean what to think versus how to (and even why) think.
Coming against one's Government (a State System) is akin to coming against one's parents.  Most might have things they'd prefer such Father's (parents) do differently, but few can see doing away with Parents (aka "growing up").  Where it seems philosophical, mental health is dependent upon the individuals known initially as parents, nurturing the children to come to the (natural) state of mind of recognizing them as treasured equals, akin more to closest friends rather than perpetual parents (obviously, some value-gain is perpetual, but only because of time potential, not status).  Few to practically none that I know personally have had this path of parenting.  The likes of what's seen as "suppression" is but a direct result of just that, [abbr=in my current opinion]imco[/abbr].

* footnote:
patriot: 1596, "compatriot," from M.Fr. patriote (15c.), from L.L. patriota "fellow-countryman" (6c.), from Greek. patriotes "fellow countryman," from patrios "of one's fathers," patris "fatherland," from pater (gen. patros) "father," with -otes, suffix expressing state or condition. Meaning "loyal and disinterested supporter of one's country" is attested from 1605 --from here

sidebar:  I've come to have a bit more appreciation for the potentially distinctive words of "dad", "pop", and "father"; and not for any other reason than my own prompting...

yeah, i'll be posting your response in other places, if you don't mind.

  it's so hard to swallow though. This guy ABC's the root causes of foreclosure and the high costs of housing, why the dollar is gradually hinting at extinction. how, having army facilities around the world is breaking the bank, how the income tax and it's collection practice is fraudulent, medical issues, abortion and on and on in plain english. straight forward talk. easily wide reaching language, but he's suppressed and ignored? Who was listening? or How many were listening. Ron Paul was a clarion that should have caused a stampede in "wake .up". It makes you look at people in a new way and I don't know what that is or how to describe it. I guess.

I vaguely recall that they went through quite a few attempts before Rosa Parks was plastered on the headlines and the movement began. so of course, keep it goin'. Hopefully Ron Paul was talking over everyones heads, cause i'd hate to think they understood, but didn't agree with what he was saying. :-\
