Is a Paul Compromise Due to Threats of a Bloody Convention?

Ask, is it a possibility that the RNC has threatened the Pauls with militarized police action and possible provocateured violence against the Ron Paul revolutionaries who attend the RNC convention in August? The signs are everywhere that they are preparing for a big, big security presence this year and with the history of proven provocateured action like the SPP Protest in Montreal or in Denver at the DNC in 08′ by police we can’t leave that angle out of our analysis. We are living in scary times because scary people are in power.

The fact is Mitt Romney is the Bilderberg pick and is already acting like an executive, while the Obama machine starts falling apart.
With all the politics at play between the Romney/RNC and Ron Paul camp in the lead up to the convention, it may be important to step back and look at the serious possibility of BIG time threats not just to Ron Paul’s life, but potentially to the entire liberty movement as a whole.

The absolute weirdness of this situation demands and begs for these kind of questions to be asked as we watch the drama unfold over the next few days in hopes we get true clarification and direction out of the Ron Paul people on this unnerving move.

Let’s start with the “endorsement”, Mike Adams provides a linguistic analysis of Rand Paul’s endorsement as being coerced.

“If you watch Rand Paul deliver his announcement, pay particular attention to the part where he says:

“But you know, now that the nominating process is over, tonight I’m uh happy to announce that I’m gonna be supporting Governor Romney.”

During this entire sentence, his voice and intonation stay relatively high, in the “optimistic” range, including as he’s talking about his father. But the minute he utters the words “Governor Romney,” two things happen:

• The pitch of his voice drops sharply.
• The strength of his voice tapers off, almost as if the last part of “Romney” has no power behind it.

The overall feeling associated with this delivery is one of disgust. It’s almost as if Rand Paul is describing someone he is disappointed with or despises.”

With speculation of total betrayal, promises of cabinet positions, threats on Ron Paul’s life nobody has realized the obvious. It is not Ron Paul or Rand Paul the RNC is afraid of, it is the legion of Ron Paul activists that show up everywhere he speaks.
The Threat

I would imagine the threat assessment has gone out by the RNC security organizers on the real possibility of riots in the event of a Romney nomination. Riots on the inside by delegates and by his supporters in the streets that are planning mass protests already.

His activist follow the principles in the Constitution and are radical in it’s defense. They are also liberty loving Americans, who will jealously guard their leader Ron Paul. He has become a powerful icon indeed, but let’s face it, he honestly doesn’t have that much control over the grassroots as a whole. The potential for flare ups is very high and both sides of the fence know it.

Ron Paul ask’s his people to “be respectful” should he be worried about the safety of protestors this year? Should we be worried, those who plan on attending to protest this elective travesty?

“Our delegates’ presence must be felt both in Tampa and in years to come,” Paul declared. “Stand up for what we believe in. Be respectful. And let the establishment know that we are the future of the Party and of the country.”

The problem is the GOP are despicable bullies, and his supporters are going to voice their outrage you can count on that, with Ron Paul’s permission or not, or an escalated police presence or not.

Anomalous Security Preparations for the RNC

As always you can expect a big time security presence in Tampa the weekend of the Convention. The normal reports of 50 million dollar federal grants for both RNC and DNC security are there. Along with the usual partnerships between both military and police but did you know that also present in Tampa will be NATO special operations groups from all over the world there?

Fact 1) NATO Special Forces Training in Tampa

Video of international special forces actually storming a Tampa dock and rescuing no less than the Mayor of Tampa just this last week. Unbelievable, these NATO special force groups are the same ones commanding the al-Qaeda freedom fighters in Libya and Syria.

Fact 2) Tampa RNC Police Invited to train at NATO Chicago summit AND Attacked by “Anarchists”

In fact, the NATO summit in Chicago was actually a training ground for the people in charge of the RNC convention security this year, as stated in an article by Officer.com. It details how Black Bloc anarchist confronted and attacked the very police unit that was observing Chicago tactics during the NATO summit where police were injured.

“They were prepared to engage in conflict,” McKinnon said. “They were wearing gas masks and they had their own medics. They had their own videographers.”

McKinnon said officers asked the crowd to disperse at the end of the march. Those who stayed started provoking police, who were dressed in riot gear. When the stragglers wouldn’t leave, officers tried to remove them by force.

Some protesters hurled sticks and bottles at officers, who responded with batons. Four officers were injured, including one who was stabbed in the leg, and 45 people were arrested.

Protesters in Chicago were prepared for a confrontation, but Tampa officers said that when the GOP convention comes to town, they’ll be ready, too.

Nothing like a security training exercise to go live for them to personalize the threat on the ground level by Tampa riot police.

Fact 3) FEMA and Emergency Disaster Preparedness Training for Mass Evacuations

It seems the event is scheduled during the busiest time of the year for hurricanes in the Florida and Gulf coast area. They are actually preparing for a Category 3 storm during the convention:

“State emergency workers have spent recent days tracking a fictitious Category 3 Hurricane Gispert that would hit Tarpon Springs, just north of Tampa, two days after the convention is scheduled to begin.

“We’d be dealing a lot with storm surge issues down there,” said Bryan Koon, the state’s emergency management director. “We’re also working on a high number of potential evacuations.”

Fact 4) Black Bloc Violence Aimed at Tampa and the RNC

These groups are small in number but can still be utilized to initiate mass arrests and police action in a heart beat given the order by higher up, security officials commanding riot police.

Fact 5) RNC is Blocking the Liberty Festival from a Venue

There will be hundreds of thousands of very disillusioned and vocal Ron Paul supporters who are planning on protesting the Romney outrage in Tampa. This will not be a repeat of the 2008 RNC where Ron Paul had to throw his own convention, attended by well over 10,000 people.

Rally for the Republic During the RNC at Minneapolis Minnesota 2008

This time there are people on the inside with a true fire for Liberty, national delegates who made it to the convention literally kicking in screaming as Ron Paul supporters. A organizer of the Ron Paul Festival details the delays they have come up against when trying to secure a venue from the RNC.

“We can’t proceed without a secured venue,” Robinet said Monday. A kickoff announcement, ticket sales, fundraising and contracts with bands and other talent — all have to wait until the location is in hand. The longer it takes, the harder it will be

“And I think that is their goal,” she said.

Being denied a venue location will mean that the Ron Paul supporters will have to maintain a presence in the actual militarized protest zone placing enraged political masses right up next to police forces.

Conclusion

We have to give the Pauls the benefit of the doubt here in hopes there is something else going on that none of us are privy to as outsiders. The fact is Rand does look like he has a gun to his head in this endorsement, and if the threat of violence at the convention is what is keeping Ron Paul from speaking and staging a brokered convention with his delegates inside I would imagine it is not above Romney’s people to play that card.

I honestly don’t think the Pauls would back down on threats to their own lives, but violence at the RNC would destroy the liberty movement. Anyone from that point on associated with the Liberty movement would be immediately placed high up on a radical terrorist watch list destroying everything the Pauls have worked for via the Campaign for Liberty and elections over the course of these last 4 years.
