Media Cover-up: Ron Paul’s StandingNot Discussed in Iowa Vote Reshuffle

Media Cover-up: Ron Paul’s Standing Not Discussed in Iowa Vote Reshuffle Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com January 19, 2012 Republican officials in Iowa today said that there was no clear winner in the caucus held there on January 3. Party officials said results from eight of the 1,774 precincts were missing when they conducted the vote certification process, meaning they likely will never know what the final tallies were for the candidates.

Despite the ambiguity, Rick Santorum was quick to declare a “virtual tie” in the race and the establishment media obliged him on the claim while ignoring how the change effected Ron Paul’s standing.

According to the 1. Iowa Caucus website, the certified results of 1,766 precincts made public Thursday show Santorum with 29,839 votes, followed by Romney with 29,805, Ron Paul in third with 26,036, and Newt Gingrich with 16,163, Rick Perry with 12,557, Michele Bachmann with 6,046 and Jon Huntsman with 739. Party officials said 121,503 votes were certified.

The admission of voting irregularities and uncounted votes in the state adds more weight to the argument that the race was fixed in order to discount Ron Paul and push him to the periphery in a concerted effort to minimize his popularity among voters and upstage the handpicked establishment candidates.

On January 4, we reported on the Republican establishment’s decision to conduct the vote count in secret after vague threats issued by the shadowy Anonymous hacker group and protests planned by Occupy the Iowa Caucus.

“Also abusing suddenly lax ID registration may have created many fake votes for neocons Santorum and

Romney,” Brad Funkhouser wrote.

In addition to ID problems, the 1. Clinton County Republican Women’s Club reported mysterious “computer glitches” during the vote.

“This is the biggest fraud since Kennedy stole the West Virginia Primary,” Funkhouser said.

If, as Santorum claims, he is virtually tied with Romney in Iowa, that would mean Ron Paul came in second, not third. The establishment media has neglected to report this fact. Instead, it has ignored Paul and continued its campaign to portray Romney and Santorum as the only viable candidates wrestling to gain the nomination.

Moreover, a reshuffling of the vote will change the dynamics on delegates as the front-runners head into the Republican national convention in Tampa, Florida during the week of August 27, 2012.

The new spin on the Iowa caucus reveals the obvious fact that establishment controlled caucuses, primaries and elections are highly manipulated and stage managed affairs. Only candidates handpicked by the ruling elite will be allowed to contend for the office of president, a job that has been reduced largely to an acting and script-reading position.

Perry Drops Out Of Presidential Race Steve Watson Infowars.com January 19, 2012 Another one bites the dust Texas Governor Rick Perry has dropped out of the 2012 presidential race ahead of the South Carolina primary on Saturday.

Perry has, unsurprisingly, officially endorsed Newt Gingrich.

“I have come to the conclusion that this is no viable path forward for me in this 2012 campaign,” said Perry at a news conference in North Charleston, South Carolina this morning.

“Therefore I am suspending my campaign and endorsing Newt Gingrich for president of the United States.”

Perry Quits - Endorses Newt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJX60Rt0VbQ “Newt is not perfect, but who among us is,” said Perry, seemingly referring to the 1. emerging scandal involving Gingrich and his ex-wife. “The fact is, there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption, for it is a central tenant of my Christian faith.”

Perry went on to call Gingrich a “conservative visionary who will transform our country.”

“I have no doubt Newt Gingrich is a man with a the heart of a conservative reformer, the ability to rally and captivate the conservative movement, the courage to tell those Washington interests to take a hike, if that’s what’s in the best interest of our country.” Perry said.

“I’ve never believed that the cause of conservativism is embodied by one individual,” Perry said. “Our mission is not only to defeat Barack Obama, but to replace him with a conservative leader who will bring about real change.” he added.

Perry finished dead last in the New Hampshire primary with less than 1 percent of the vote, despite spending months campaigning in the state.

The latest polls out of South Carolina had Perry floundering in fifth place once again with less than 4 percent.

Earlier in the week, Perry made a last ditch effort to appeal to staunch conservative voters by wading into the scandal involving US troops being filmed urinating on the dead corpses of Taliban fighters.

Perry defended the soldiers, and used the scandal to attack the Obama administration, claiming that under his presidency he would not tolerate “over-the-top rhetoric” and “disdain for the military”.

However, that has had no effect whatsoever on Perry’s numbers and now he has finally given up the ghost.

Infowars was first to report that Perry would run for president a full two months before he officially threw his hat in the ring. Perry insiders informed Alex Jones in June 2011 that the Texas Governor was preparing his campaign.

When Perry eventually joined the race in August, he stormed to the top of the polls.

However, a series of terrible debate performances, culminating in the infamous “oops” moment where Perry forgot which federal agencies he wanted to abolish, left him slithering down the polls and floundering at the bottom of the pile.

Exposure of Perry’s past record also left him without a leg to stand on as his rivals all egded past him in the race for the Republican nomination.

Gingrich Scandal Could Hand Ron Paul Shock Second Place Finish Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Thursday, January 19, 2012 Interview with Newt’s ex-wife ‘could end Gingrich’s career’ A bombshell interview with Newt Gingrich’s exwife set to air tonight could catapult Ron Paul into a shock second placed finish in South Carolina and confirm the Congressman as Mitt Romney’s main rival. The interview with Marianne Gingrich, Newt’s wife of 18 years, “could end her ex-husband’s career,” according to a 1. Drudge Report exclusive.

Despite a “civil war” erupting within ABC News over whether or not to air the interview before Saturday’s primary, the broadcast will go out tonight on Nightline, less than 48 hours before SC voters head to the polls.

Gingrich is set to hold a press conference today during which he will try to engage in damage control.

With current polls showing Gingrich in second place behind Romney, with Ron Paul and Rick Santorum virtually tied in third, any collapse in Gingrich’s support on the back of the interview would directly benefit the candidates immediately behind him in the polls.

If Ron Paul beats Santorum to second in South Carolina, and the scandal torpedoes Gingrich’s wider presidential campaign, it would virtually guarantee a Romney-Paul head to head for the rest of the primary contest.

The interview with Marianne Gingrich is said to contain “explosive revelations”.

Newt proposed to her before the divorce of his first wife had been finalized, and when he and Marianne divorced in 2000, Gingrich had already taken up with Callista Bisek, his third wife.

“The interview, should it air before Saturday’s primary, would shine a

spotlight on a part of Gingrich’s past that could turn off Republican voters in a state filled with religious and cultural conservatives who may cringe at Gingrich’s two divorces and acknowledged infidelity,” reports ABC News.

Gingrich’s dishonesty when it comes to his personal life mirrors his political career.

According to Gingrich’s first wife, Jackie Battley, Newt shocked her by demanding a divorce while she was still in hospital recovering from cancer surgery. According to L. H. Carter, Gingrich’s former campaign treasurer, Gingrich said of Battley: “She’s not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer.”

As we have documented, Gingrich is a ruthless Washington insider who routinely violates constitutional principles to serve the establishment. Gingrich is the ultimate RINO Republican, supporting Nancy Pelosi’s cap and trade plan, socialized health care, global government, and a plethora of other big government initiatives.

Despite obtaining the frontrunner position, when revelations about Herman Cain’s private life emerged last year, he was forced to drop out of the Republican race altogether.

Should the interview sink Gingrich’s presidential aspirations, the establishment will merely continue to throw its weight behind the anointed selection – Mitt Romney – who himself has a record of political deception on a par with Newt Gingrich.

Congress Retreats on SOPA and PIPA Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com January 19, 2012 Following widespread protests against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), a number of members of Congress have declared they will no longer support the internet censorship legislation.

Senate Republicans are in full retreat fearing a political backlash. Roy Blunt, Orrin Hatch, John Boozman, Marco Rubio, Chuck Grassley, Mark Kirk, and Jim DeMint dropped their support.

John Cornyn of Texas said the legislation should be put on hold while DeMint said in a tweet any legislation directed against online piracy “must not undermine free speech, threaten economic growth or impose burdensome regulations.”

Hatch, Rubio, Blunt and Boozman were sponsors of the Senate bill.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul went beyond rhetoric and pledged to oppose both SOPA and PIPA. “I will not sit idly by while PIPA and SOPA eliminate the constitutionally protected rights to due process and free speech. For these reasons, I have pledged to oppose, filibuster and do everything in my power to stop government censorship of the Internet,” he declared.

In the House, Reps. Jim McDermott, Patty Murray, Rick Larsen, Adam Smith, Jay Inslee, and Norm Dicks opposed the legislation.

Despite the theatrics in response to massive opposition, Congress will be forced to show its true colors next Tuesday when PIPA comes up for a cloture vote in the Senate. A cloture vote will end debate and force an immediate vote on the

legislation.

4.5 million people signed a Google petition opposing the legislation on Wednesday and Congress was deluged with hundreds of thousands of emails. Countless websites either went dark for the day or showed support by masking out logos and posting statements. Protesters held rallies in Seattle, New York, San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Former Senator 1. Chris Dodd, now CEO and chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, released a statement calling the protests a “gimmick” and “an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services.”

“Only days after the White House and chief sponsors of the legislation responded to the major concern expressed by opponents and then called for all parties to work cooperatively together, some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging,” Dodd said.
