Honored Readers,
After
36 years in US-Politics, Dr. Ron Paul (born 1935)
on November 14th,
2012 gave a startling farewell speech
in the US House of Representatives.
The
physician and three-time candidate for American
President, personified a
totally different type of politician,
one, that is certainly in danger of
extinction.
As a
defender of a constitutional government, he managed
repeatedly, courageously
and expertly, to stand up against
Ben Bernanke, the Chief of the Federal
Reserve. His questions
regarding the criminal financial transactions of the
American
Federal Reserve Bank are at least as legendary, as the breakup
of a
live interview on CNN with the words: “I
know your methods”,
whereby he disconnected the cables and walked out of
the studio.

In
America Ron Paul has a lot of support from the younger
generation and right
across the political spectrum. The political
establishment at best obviously
puts him into the corner of “political
bloomer”, in order to right at the
beginning take the wind out of
his precise criticism of the system. Also in
Europe, the former
congressman is mildly ridiculed and those, who are well
meaning,
at best dismiss him as a visionary.
But
he just says, what many citizens think or what more and
more human Beings have
already experienced personally
(NSA and the finance madness, homelessness and
poverty,
abolishment of civil rights, etc.). The former congressman
ruthlessly
reveals the actual situation in America and in the
government in Washington at
the time and is above any suspicion
to fall into the trap of the lie propaganda
from Washington and
the mainstream media. The former Minister of Finance
William E. Simon (in office from
1974-1977) said about Ron Paul,
that he is „the
only exception in the gang of 535” in the Capitol,
the Seat of Congress, in
Washington D.C.
And
since his departure from official politics,
Dr. Ron Paul’s voice as “caller in
the political desert”
(like the voice of Dr.
Paul Craig Roberts) has not gone silent!Just the opposite.
In a guest columnist commentary in the „N.J.NEWS“ (New Jersey)
Dr. Paul describes the actual situation about America’s interference
in the Ukraine. Accurate as always, and to the point and without
any of the tunnel vision, which is prevalent in Western Media and
in Western Politics; whereby the untruths sprout and lies thrive
to intolerability.
It is my concern and a joy, to share this contribution
with all readers of our website.
Yet before the Light prevails, the truth is needed the most,
and must be repeated, until all levels of our society have
been captured by it and until it has prevailed on this earth.
And due to these and similar publications in the Lichtwelt
portal, this necessity has been
adequately met and complied with.
In Love

What does the U.S. government want in Ukraine?
written by Ron Paul
May 12, 2014
In
several eastern Ukrainian towns over the past week,
the military opened fire on its own citizens. Dozens may have
been killed in the violence. Although the U.S. government generally
condemns a country's use of military force against its own population,
especially if they are unarmed protesters, this time the U.S.
administration blamed the victims. After as many as 20 unarmed
protesters were killed on the May 9th holiday in Ukraine, the State
Department spokesman said "we condemn the outbreak of violence
caused by pro-Russia separatists."
Why are people protesting in eastern Ukraine?
Because they do not believe the government that came
to power after the US-backed uprising in February is legitimate.
They do not recognize the authority of an unelected president and
prime minister. The U.S. sees this as a Russian-sponsored
destabilization effort, but is it so hard to understand that the
people in Ukraine may be annoyed with the U.S. and EU for their
involvement in regime change in their country? Would we be so
willing to accept an unelected government in Washington put in
place with the backing of the Chinese and Iranians?
The U.S. State Department provided much assistance earlier
this year to those involved in the effort to overthrow the Ukrainian
government. The U.S. warned the Ukrainian government at the time
not to take any action against those in the streets, even as they
engaged in violence and occupied government buildings. But now
that those former protesters have come to power, the U.S. takes a
different view of protest. Now they give full support to the bloody
crackdown against protesters in the east.
The State Department spokesperson said last week:
"We continue to call for groups who have jeopardized public
order by taking up arms and seizing public buildings in violation
of Ukrainian law to disarm and leave the buildings they have seized."
This is the opposite of what they said in February.
Do they think the rest of the world does not see this hypocrisy?
The residents of eastern Ukraine have long been closer to Russia
than to the U.S. and EU. In fact, that part of Ukraine had been a
part of Russia. After February's regime change, officials in the east
announced that they would hold referenda to see whether the
population wanted autonomy from the U.S.-backed government
in Kiev. The U.S. demanded that Russian President Putin stop
eastern Ukraine from voting on autonomy, and last week the
Russian president did just that: he said that the vote should
not be held as scheduled. The eastern Ukrainians ignored him
and said they would hold the vote anyway. So much for the U.S.
claims that Russia controls the opposition in Ukraine.
Even though the Russian president followed U.S. demands
and urged the eastern Ukrainians to hold off on the vote, the
U.S. State Department announced that the U.S. would apply
additional sanctions on Russia if the vote is held!
Does this make any sense?
The real question is why the U.S. government
is involved in Ukraine in the first place.
We are broke. We cannot even afford to fix our own economy.
Yet we want to run Ukraine? Does it really matter who Ukrainians
elect to represent them? Is it really a national security matter worth
risking a nuclear war with Russia whether Ukraine votes for more
regional autonomy and a weaker central government? Isn't that
how the United States was originally conceived?
Has the arrogance of the U.S. administration,
thinking they should run the world, driven us
to the brink of another major war in Europe?
Let us hope they will stop this dangerous game
and come to their senses.
I say let's have no war for Ukraine!
