Congressman Larry McDonald - Interesting

I think that due to your postings on Larry McDonald and Korean Air Lines Flight 007 many people are clicking onto our website, especially from areas in California around Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Oakland. So I want to thank you for that. Here are two very good recent sites about KAL 007 http://www.conservapedia.com/Korean_Airlines_Flight_007 and Larry McDonald - http://www.conservapedia.com/Larry_McDonald . I hope that Ron Paul could become very active in this.

Speaking of NWO getting rid of politicians, what about JFK? I just only recently stumbled upon the site about this Files guy who allegedly came out like ten years ago and said he was the one to kill JFK from the grassy knoll. And I've also found on Youtube this Bush Connection movie about how Bush sr. and the international bankers were involved in the murder. Seen anybody? What do u think? Can't wrap my head around that...

I found this on google: http://www.rense.com/general40/prisoner.htm

"Larry and Congressman Ron Paul spent considerable time together. Ron of course is also a physician; when he isn't serving in Congress, Ron is a gynecologist in Lake Jackson, Texas. Larry is a Democrat, Ron a Republican. The big difference between them is that Larry is a student of the conspiracy; Ron is a libertarian, and libertarians tend to debunk conspiratology. As you can imagine, it was fascinating to be part of their conversations.

Ron at first didn't cotton to the possibility that a conspiracy was behind so many of our problems. I have heard him marvel many times about the insanity of Washington. "Alan, it's a loony bin. It's literally crazy." I believe I am correct in thinking that in his recent writings and speeches, our good friend Ron has more and more adopted Larry's belief that our trouble isn't mere insanity; it's deliberate, it's the work of a conspiracy. Ron told the Philadelphia Inquirer that Larry was "the most principled man" he knew in Congress."

It is little known, even amongst alternative news sites, that Nixon was supposed to have sat next to Larry McDonald on the ill-fated KAL 007 flight, but canceled at the last minute. Below is from my now-defunct blog, underreported.com, from Feb. 20, 2005:

Nixon was to have sat next to John Birch pres., who died on KAL 007

As if that the KAL-JBS link weren't enough underreported news, I discovered a small page-10 Washington Post article from 1983 that ties Nixon to the ill-fated flight.

According to a Sep. 25, 1983 Washington Post article (emphasis added):

Soviets Say Nixon Had Been Booked on Flight 007

MOSCOW, Sept. 14 (AP) -- The Soviet news media said today that former President Nixon canceled a reservation on Korean Air Lines Flight 007 because the CIA "did not dare send a former president to his death" and alerted him at the last minute. A Nixon assistant denied the report.

The official Tass news agency and Radio Moscow said such a report in the mass-circulation West German magazine Quick was "evidence" of a CIA plot to send the Boeing 747 over Soviet territory Sept. 1.

The Kremlin has claimed the plane, which carried 269 people to their deaths, was on a spy mission for the United States. The Soviets also say the fighter pilot who shot it down thought it was a U.S. RC-135 spy plane.

In its Sept. 8 edition, Quick said that Nixon was booked on the South Korean jet out of New York and was to have been seated next to Rep. Larry MacDonald (D-Ga.), chairman of the John Birch Society.

"But at the last minute, Mr. Nixon did not take the flight," Tass said.

"Evidently the American intelligence establishment did not dare send a former president to his death. Quite probably he was in the know from the outset," Tass added.

Neither Tass nor Quick cited any source for the report.

Nicholas Ruwe, Nixon's assistant said that the former president "was never booked on Korean Air Lines Flight 007 to Seoul, let alone Flight 007."

He said that Nixon "never held a reservation to Seoul on any other airline . . . . Former President Nixon has hundreds of foreign and domestic invitations under consideration at any given time. The Seoul conference was one of them, and it had been declined."

On Sept. 3 The New York Post said Nixon would have been on the plane that was shot down "if he hadn\'t turned down an invitation to Seoul, South Korea."

It said Nixon declined an invitation "to go along with Rep. Larry McDonald . . . to the conference commemorating the 30th anniversary of the U.S.-South Korea mutual defense treaty."

According to the Post, former Nixon aide Franklin R. Gannon said, "I was with President Nixon yesterday, and he reminded me that he had had this offer. He considered it seriously for several months and decided against it."

The invitation came from Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), according to Gannon.

What would Nixon have had against the John Birch Society? His claimed reason was that the JBS founder Welch called Eisenhower a communist. According to a Feb. 18, 1962 Washington Post article:

Richard M. Nixon wound up a gubernatorial campaign tour today by stating that he would not back candidates who accept John Birch Society support.

[...] No candidate, he said, should seek or accept support of an organization whose leader has made the kind of attacks against former Preisdent Eisenhower as those by Robert Welch, head of the John Birch Society.

Welch, a Massachusetts candy manfacturer, is accused of having called Mr. Eisenhower a conscious, dedicated agent of the Communist Party.
But perhaps it was the society's platform Nixon was opposed to. The JBS platform at the time is described in a Mar. 26, 1961 Washington Post article:

What does the John Birch Society stand for? It's objective, Welch told the Indianoplis meeting, is simply "less government and more responsibility."

This, however, is tied closely with a drive against international communism. The Communists are rapidly taking over the United States, the Society thinks, and must be stopped. The Communist method of taking over, it says, is to increase government.

Thus, the things which international communism wants the United States to do are these:

• Increase defense and foreign aid spending, making higher taxes, an unbalanced budget and inflation possible.
• Increase governmental controls over prices, wages and material so that power will be centralized in Washington.
• Worry about the horror of modern warfare so that the beauties of peace become attractive and leader the Nation to appeasement of the Communists.

This was back in 1961. In retrospect, it turns out the first two bulleted points were right on the money when it came to Nixon, even though the Society meant the points to apply to Communists in general, not in particular Nixon (whom Birch said would be anti-Communist only if it furthered his political ambitions). Nixon, taking the U.S. completely off the gold standard, was the father of inflation. And foreign aid to Israel skyrocketed in 1971, the middle of Nixon's term, as can be seen from page 17 of the Mar. 5, 2003 Congressional Research Service Issue Brief Israel: U.S. Foreign Assistance. Nixon, of course, was notorious for price controls, as described by an excerpt of the book The Commanding Heights on pbs.org.

Nixon and the John Birch Society were avowed enemies, politically and ideologically. Three sources said Nixon was to have gone to the Seoul conference; two sources said Nixon would have been on the same plane; and one source (the Munich magazine Quick) said Nixon would have been seated right next to John Birch Society chairman Larry McDonald, but canceled at the last moment.

There was motive and proximity. The Washington Post reported the latter but not the former -- why? Why didn't the Post recall its own articles from the 1960's on the animosity between Nixon and the John Birch Society? And why did the Post bury the Nixon connection to KAL 007 on page 10? And why didn't the Post ever describe the John Birch Society in any of its KAL 007 articles, in contrast to the scathing attention it gave it throughout the 1960's?

The John Birch Society stood up for freedom -- especially honest money and national sovereignty -- unlike Nixon and a host of other prominent Republicans. The John Birch Society is not without flaws -- it is most often criticized for opposing the Civil Rights Act (more on that below) -- but its opposition to the United Nations, centralization of power in Washington, and central bankers is to be admired.

We can safely say in the 21st century that the Civil Rights Act promoted racial harmony. But this was not obvious in the 1960's. As can be seen from one of his letters, Welch's opinion was that it would stir up another civil war -- that voluntary desegregation rather than government-forced desegregation was the path to freedom. Even the staunch civil rights and affirmative action proponent Thurgood Marshall would agree with this -- but for the long term (in 100 years in Marshall's opinion) not for now.

As a reminder of how far the Civil Rights Act of 1964 went, recall the July 21, 2004 UnderReported.com story "Connecticut Supreme Court rules malls can block free speech," which describes how even though the Civil Rights Act of 1964 enforces the Fourteenth Amendment in shopping malls, the vaunted First Amendment receives no such enforcement. Of course, both should be enforced. But that illustrates just how big a step the Civil Rights Act was, and thus how scary it must have been to a liberty-minded person in the 1960's to have the government dictate to businesses whom they must serve, when, for example, the government won't even dictate to businesses whom they must allow to leaflet.

If we look to the good aspects of the liberty-minded John Birch Society, such as its opposition to centralization of power, it is easy to see why entrenched beaurecrats and their media mouthpieces would like to see it downplayed, marginalized, and shut down.

Yes the crap will be hitting the fan soon. These same corrupt people will be turned on and will get their reward. The American people will starve and face tyranny but one day the might wake up.

For Freedom!

He was one of the greats!

He was Murdered by the Russians. He was in a commercial Jet over Korea with a plan full of people when a Russian Mig blew him out of the sky. Flight 007

You would think our government would hammer Russia for executing a US Congressman .

The worst part of all the republican poster boy, "Ronald Regan" took a weak stance and simply said to Russia,"You are an Evil Empire" and thats it.

ah, *tragedy* involved. McCain should be able to tell us.

I also find it interesting that he was a big supporter of Laetrile.
