Revealing interview from the August, 1988 broadcast of Frank Morrow’s “Alternative Views” found at archive.org. It cements Dr. Paul’s place as America’s leading economic prophet crying in the wilderness and a voice we ignore at our own loss. At the time of the interview, Dr. Paul was the Libertarian candidate for president.
From the original description:
“Former four-term Congressman Ron Paul describes the American power structure. As a member of the House Banking and Currency Committee, Paul was in a unique position to see the inner workings of economic power and control of the country, and how this power translates into political power. Paul describes how, through the control of the Federal Reserve and the banking system, the American power elite is basically out of reach of the democratic system.”
There’s a lot of information contained. Dr. Paul rightly states that many politicians in DC aren’t informed about the nature of banking or economics, a condition that serves the interests of the central banking establishment.
He also rightly states that the Federal Reserve, due to its secrecy and power, is nothing less than evil. This American agrees.
And Ron Paul is still the only candidate from either party that isn’t a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Trooper to get more training after protest sign altercation By LEVI PULKKINEN
P-I REPORTER
A state trooper will be receiving additional training following an altercation with a handful of student protesters Monday on a University District overpass.
Six members of the student chapter of Justice Works, a group advocating reform in the criminal justice system, were holding a large mesh sign on the 45th Street bridge of Interstate 5 when they were approached by the trooper, said Jon Yousling, one of the students organizing the protest.
Protesters had been holding the sign — which read “Education not incarceration” — for more than an hour without disturbance when the trooper arrived. Heated words were exchanged as the trooper demanded the protesters remove the sign, which the State Patrol now acknowledges was displayed within the law.
“We knew what the regulations are,” said Jaime Brown, a junior at the University of Washington. “He was still trying to get us to release the sign………” Full Article:seattlepi.nwsource.com
“Freeway bannering is totally legal,” said junior Jamie Brown, a pre-law student. “We had four people [so] there was more than 500 pounds holding that sign.”
The demonstrators researched laws regarding the use of banners and made sure the sign was held securely to its frame, which was constructed of PVC piping.
“We did not attach it [to the overpass] in any way; we were within the bounds of the law,” said senior Jonathan Yousling, a pre-law student and one of the demonstrators. thedaily.washington.edu
