How the Ron Paul Movement Looks to an American in Europe
by Ben Novak
The following is a report to Americans in Europe for Ron Paul.
Dear Fellow Paulites:
You have not heard from me for a while – I have been off on a seven-week visit to the US. I left February 21, and did not get back until April 9.
When I left, we were all depressed by the results of the Super-Tuesday, and the South Carolina, etc. primaries, in which Ron Paul failed to get much more than 5–10 percent of the vote, and John McCain just about wrapped up the Republican nomination. It seemed the end of Ron Paul's campaign – and of our interest in it.
On this trip to the US, I had time, for the first time in almost 7 years, to watch television news all day for a couple of days, and then follow the news reports on most days thereafter. I was startled by what I saw. There is almost NO news on the networks! It was all "talking heads" giving opinions on some minor comment of Obama, Hilary, or McCain all day. Almost no foreign news; nothing to explain the economy, the war, the world situation, etc. The American people know nothing from the Main Stream Media (MSM) of what is going on the world! Only disasters make the news – plane crashes, floods, etc. It is positively shocking. It seems Americans are
being lobotomized.
