- Bunneh Botts: mohandasgandhi: TYT: Ron Paul’s Worst Newsletters Incredibly inflammatory excerpts from old newsletters published with Ron Paul’s name were recently put together by The New Republic. The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down. Has this already been posted? I want to post it again. TNR Exclusive: A Collection of Ron Paul’s Most Incendiary Newsletters Race “A Special Issue on Racial Terrorism” analyzes the Los Angeles riots of 1992: “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. … What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the violence subsided.” The November 1990 issue of the Political Report had kind words for David Duke. This December 1990 newsletter describes Martin Luther King Jr. as “a world-class adulterer” who “seduced underage girls and boys” and “replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil of forced integration.” A February 1991 newsletter attacks “The X-Rated Martin Luther King.” An October 1990 edition of the Political Report ridicules black activists, led by Al Sharpton, for demonstrating at the Statue of Liberty in favor of renaming New York City after Martin Luther King. The newsletter suggests that “Welfaria,” “Zooville,” “Rapetown,” “Dirtburg,”and “Lazyopolis ” would be better alternatives—and says, “Next time, hold that demonstration at a food stamp bureau or a crack house.” A May 1990 issue of the Ron Paul Political Report cites Jared Taylor, who six months later would go onto found the eugenicist and white supremacist periodical American Renaissance. The January 1993 issue of the Survival Report worries about America’s “disappearing white majority.” The July 1992 Ron Paul Political Report declares, “Jury verdicts, basketball games, and even music are enough to set off black rage, it seems,” and defends David Duke. The author of the newsletter—presumably Paul—writes, “My youngest son is starting his fourth year in medical school. He tells me there would be no way to persuade his fellow students of the case for economic liberty.” A March 1993 Survival Report describes Bill Clinton’s supposedly “illegitimate children, black and white: ‘woods colts’ in backwoods slang.” Gays The December 1989 Ron Paul Political Report contains entries on a “new form of racial terrorism,” cites former Congressman Bill Dannemeyer’s claim that “the average homosexual has 1,000 or more partners in a lifetime,” and quotes Lew Rockwell, president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, in the third person. In January 1990, the Ron Paul Political Report cites “a well-known libertarian editor” who “told me: ‘The ACT-UP slogan on stickers plastered all over Manhattan is ‘Silence=Death.’ But shouldn’t it be Sodomy = Death’?” The September 1994 issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report states that “those who don’t commit sodomy, who don’t get blood a transfusion, and who don’t swap needles, are virtually assured of not getting AIDS unless they are deliberately infected by a malicious gay.” The June 1990 issue of the Political Report says: “I miss the closet. Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities.” A January 1994 edition of the Survival Report states that “gays in San Francisco do not obey the dictates of good sense,” adding: “[T]hese men don’t really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners.” Also, “they enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick.” Survivalism and Militias The January 1995 issue of the Survival Report—released just three months before the Oklahoma City bombing—cites an anti-government militia’s advice to other militias, including, “Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” The October 1992 issue of the Political Report paraphrases an “ex-cop” who offers this strategy for protecting against “urban youth”: “If you have to use a gun on a youth, you should leave the scene immediately, disposing of the wiped off gun as soon as possible. Such a gun cannot, of course, be registered to you, but one bought privately (through the classifieds, for example).” Conspiracies This 1978 newsletter says the Trilateral Commission is “no longer known only by those who are knowledgeable about international conspiracies, but is routinely mentioned in the daily news.” Middle East A 1989 newsletter compares Salman Rushdie to Ernst Zundel, a Canadian Holocaust-denier. Anti-Government Paranoia/Conspiracy Theories/Survivalism A fundraising letter from Paul’s 1984 Senate campaign in which Paul complains about the “minions of Kissinger and Rockefeller” and “the big New York banks, and their pals in Texas” who “want me silenced.” The January 1988 Ron Paul Political Report approvingly cites Dr. William C. Douglass, who “believes that AIDS is a deliberately engineered hybrid” developed at a World Health Organization experiment conducted at Ft. Detrick. Douglass has long been a fringe medical guru, and today claims that “smoking can help you live longer!!!” The November 1989 Ron Paul Political Report reports on the Bohemian Grove and Ronald Reagan’s “old Trilateralist agenda item of four-year terms for Congressmen.” This 1993 Ron Paul Strategy Guide entitled, “How to Protect Yourself from Urban Violence,” is a special supplement to the Ron Paul Survival Report. In the April 1993 Ron Paul Survival Report, the author—writing in the first person—states, “Whether [the 1993 World Trade Center bombing] was a setup by the Israeli Mossad, as a Jewish friend of mine suspects, or was truly a retaliation by the Islamic fundamentalists, matters little.” The newsletters also warns readers to “do your very best to keep your family away from inner cities. If you can’t, have a haven remote from the metropolitan areas.” The May 1995 issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report warns of “The Trilateralist Alan Greenspan” and its author writes, “Now that my five children are grown and educated, I’ve listened to the many supporters who’ve urged me to return to office. I can now give up my medical practice, and dedicate every fiber of my being to saving our country.” The newsletter also contains an advertisement for the Ron Paul congressional exploratory committee. The September 1995 issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report asks about “Black Helicopters?” The June 1996 issue of the Ron Paul Survival Report refers to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms officers as “Jackbooted Thugs.” Jews The November 1992 Ron Paul Survival Report defends chess champion and Holocaust-denier Bobby Fischer, saying that “the brilliant Fischer, who has all the makings of an American hero, is very politically incorrect on Jewish questions, for which he will never be forgiven, even though he is a Jew. Thus we are not supposed to herald him as the world’s greatest chess player.” Pat Buchanan In January 1992, Paul writes about his consideration of a presidential bid which he dashed after Pat Buchanan expressed his intention to run. Paul wrote of “the essential compatibility between [Buchanan’s] ideas and mine” and “agreed to serve as the chairman of his economic advisory committee.” A 1992 issue of the Rothbard-Rockwell-Report tells of Paul’s decision to defer to Pat Buchanan in the 1992 Republican presidential primary. Newsletter Authorship The masthead of March 1987 Ron Paul Investment Letter lists “the Hon. Ron Paul” as “Editor and Publisher” and “Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr.” as one of several contributing editors. An undated personal solicitation letter—signed by Paul—asking the recipient to subscribe to his newsletter in anticipation of (presumably) the 1988 Libertarian Party Presidential nominating convention. The April 1988 Ron Paul Investment Letter lists Paul as Editor. The May 1988 Ron Paul Investment Letter lists Lew Rockwell as Editor. It also advertises books by the far-right conspiracy theorist Gary Allen, who was a contributing editor to the Ron Paul Investment Letter. FriendFeed

Call for Action: Help Chimps Used in Research Labs
_________
U.S. and Canadian Primetime TV Weigh in on Chimpanzee Debate
While laboratory directors believe that using chimpanzees for medical research sparks hope for cures for diseases that plague humans, we and many scientists worldwide know that’s not true. Chimpanzee research is inhumane, not productive, unnecessary and a waste of money. Two major primetime news programs recently presented both sides of the debate. Both of these programs are a must see!
___
Chimpanzee Life in a U.S. Lab: Fact or Fiction
In a news story that aired Monday night (1/31) on NBC’s Rock Center with Brian Williams, “Ken & Rosie: When should lab chimpanzees be retired,” reporter Lisa Myers went inside the Texas Biomedical Research Institute (the host institution for the Southwest National Primate Research Center [SNPRC]) to see for herself what life is like for chimpanzees in research. With the cameras rolling, the lab tried to paint a not-so-bad and even a “high quality of life” picture of the chimps’ laboratory world. But the realities are very different.
In the program, among the many shocking comments made in support of the use of chimpanzees in research and in denial of their suffering was that of Dr. John L. VandeBerg, Director of SNPRC: ”When you talk about invasive research, I don’t think these actions [taking blood samples, giving injections or pills] have any effect whatsoever on chimpanzees psychologically.” Yet, in the footage we see chimpanzees rocking in cages, frantic, with sparse hair from self-mutilation, stress or poor health, and other visible signs telling us that these actions do have a drastic effect on them.
Dr. Jane Goodall, primatologist and anthropologist, emphasized, “All invasive research is torture…and it’s not just the procedures. It’s the imprisonment. It’s being kept in a small space with no choice. You [the chimpanzees] just are there. You’re powerless.”
Dr. Linda Brent, a behavioral primatologist who initiated and directed the environmental enhancement program to over 6,000 primates at the Southwest Foundation for 16 years, left to start Chimp Haven, the national sanctuary funded in large part by the government. Dr. Brent notes that even after years of being at Chimp Haven, some chimps still exhibit symptoms of stress from their time in the labs.
Scientists at SNPRC argue that they provide chimpanzees a quality of life that is just as good as a sanctuary. Dr. Goodall disagrees… “About sanctuary, everything revolves around the welfare of the chimpanzees. That’s a very different mission than a research laboratory whose mission is to do research.”
And, as Dr. VandeBerg summarized, “Chimpanzees do not have a choice to participate in medical research and pigs do not have a choice to participate in the grinding up of sausage.These are animals … used by humans for the welfare of humans…chimpanzees are not people…they are chimpanzees.” With attitudes like this, it is no surprise that as the cameras leave the facility, so too does the purported “quality” of care.

Chimpanzee Life in Sanctuary vs. Life in a Lab
In another news story that aired Saturday night (1/28) on W5 Canadian TV, “Emotional debate over use of chimpanzees for medical research,” viewers got an inside look at chimpanzee life in a lab versus life in sanctuary. The story focused on the scientific question of whether chimpanzees are necessary for biomedical research for humans as well as on how chimpanzees rescued and in sanctuary still suffer from lab use, procedures and trauma.
The show aired footage of HSUS undercover investigation of the New Iberia Research Center (NIRC). It showed research assistants sedating or “knocking down” a chimpanzee with a dart gun and allowing him to fall hard onto the concrete floor and the rough handling of chimpanzees and monkeys when intubated or during other procedures. The footage created a public relations nightmare for NIRC. Thomas Rowell, NIRC Director said only that, “There were five minutes or less of video where you said to yourself, you know, I wish so and so hadn’t said this…Or I wish they’d have been more careful here.” Rowell’s response sorely lacked concern for the chimpanzees or monkeys. Rowell added, “The procedures that were shown on that tape are no more traumatic or no more invasive than what all primates experience when they’re enlisted into research protocols.”
The program included a moving interview with Gloria Grow, Founder and Director of the Fauna Foundation sanctuary whose rescue of chimpanzees from a U.S. lab makes it the first and only chimpanzee sanctuary in Canada. She introduces us to Fauna chimps rescued 15 years ago from research. Even in sanctuary, it is clear that chimpanzees from research still have a struggle ahead of them. Gloria stated, “Fauna was the first sanctuary in the world to rescue HIV-positive chimpanzees. And the three [of the HIV-positive chimps] that are left here at Fauna look pretty good on the outside, but we know on the inside, they’re totally destroyed.”
Gloria then gets to the heart of the matter by adding, “…For a chimpanzee, [sanctuary is] a comfortable world… one that … offers them the affection and respect from human beings they often lacked in research facilities.”

Chimpanzees DO Suffer Psychologically
Years of investigation by NEAVS/Project R&R provide scientific documentation of the enormous psychological toll taken on chimpanzees from not only research use but also from confinement and routine laboratory procedures. Read our science papers.
____
Chimpanzee Use is NOT Necessary
Read our science papers that document that the use of chimpanzees for research on hepatitis, HIV and other diseases are neither effective nor necessary for human health and learn more about the alternatives that are better and more humane science.
