Huntsman Campaign Implicated in False Flag Attack Video on Ron Paul

The false flag video was heinous. John King took excerpts of the video and used them for gotcha journalism in an interview on CNN. Paul, who apparently had not seen or heard of the video, which was going viral, denounced it and denied he had anything to do with it.

The video played into the stereotypes demagogues use to attack Ron Paul's freedom message and his supporters. Thus, the MSM and many social media users repeated the video and shared links, often attributing it to Ron Paul and his supporters.

In fact, as is shown by the very persuasive evidence below, all facts point to the conclusion that it was Huntsman's daughters, perhaps Huntsman himself, who was behind the false flag video. The article introduced below has a detailed analysis.

The Ron Paul Campaign did not stand for it. It filed a lawsuit seeking the identity of the video creators, which as is demonstrated below, was undoubtedly the Jon Huntsman daughters. A California federal court has initially denied the Paul Campaign's request that YouTube and Twitter reveal the identity of the anonymous user who uploaded and distributed the links.

On January 4th, a video entitled “Jon Huntsman’s Values” was anonymously uploaded to YouTube. The following day, this video went “viral” on the internet. By the morning after that, it was being discussed in countless newspapers and television news studios nationwide. The anonymous creator(s) of this absurd video — which has been nicknamed the “China Jon” video based on one of the titles displayed about halfway through its 72-second runtime — presented it as though it was intended to be an “attack” against Huntsman and a promotion for Ron Paul. In reality, the intended purposes were exactly the opposite (as this website has now demonstrated, and as will be further demonstrated momentarily.)

On January 6th, the day this “story” broke in the Establishment media, The End Run published an article entitled, “Huntsman Complicit in “False Flag”-Style Dirty Trick Against Paul“. This article provided preliminary documentation of the suspicious way in which the Huntsman campaign and others had gone to work egregiously and cynically exploiting the “China Jon” video almost immediately after it appeared on YouTube, as well as early evidence that the video originated from within the Huntsman campaign itself. The article quickly went “viral”, and drew citations from the San Fransisco Chronicle, Reason, The New American, The Atlantic Wire, and others.

Since then, The End Run has investigated this matter in much greater detail, uncovering a mountain of additional evidence confirming the original article’s premise. A thorough follow-up article was in the works, but was temporarily shelved, with a plan to complete and release it ASAP, after more pressing and less time-consuming matters were dealt with. However, around January 18th, it was reported that the Paul campaign has filed a lawsuit against the video’s anonymous creator(s). At that point, The End Run dropped everything and worked around the clock to refine and expand the original draft into two extremely detailed and well-sourced reports on this matter in the shortest time frame possible, in the hopes that this critical information reaches the Paul campaign and helps with their lawsuit, and also helps in the “court of public opinion”. This is one of those two reports. The other is entitled “Twitter Trail Confirms ‘China Jon’ Video as ‘False Flag’, Points to Huntsman Campaign“, and you are urged to read it before or after this one.

As documented and demonstrated beyond any doubt in these two reports, the “Jon Huntsman’s Values” video (aka the “China Jon” video) was a “false flag”-style dirty trick designed to sabotage the Ron Paul campaign and defame the candidate and his supporters — a goal which was accomplished with considerable success. Furthermore, all roads lead to the Huntsman camp, and especially Huntsman’s “viral video”-producing, social-media-utilizing, Establishment-media-darling daughters, or the “Jon2012Girls”, as they are known on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.

South Carolina Election Laws Permit All Registered Voters to Vote in Primary

South Carolina has an open primary system. Any registered voter may vote in the Republican Primary. Therefore, independent and Democrat voters can help shape the South Carolina Republican primary election today.

Some states have closed primaries. In other words, you must be registered in the closed primary states with the state election commission as a member of the particular party before you are allowed vote in the party's primary. That is NOT true in South Carolina. Everyone can vote for Ron Paul today.

Ron Paul's campaign often crosses boundaries of the typical Republican. Ron Paul was a lonely voice complaining about the pending SOPA and PIPA legislation pushed by the Republican establishment, and the Democrat leadership. Those laws were being pushed heavily by media lobbyists. Because over thirty percent of the lobbying money came from the main stream media corporations, their network coverage ignored the breathtaking scope of the legislation.

It would have imposed Internet censorship, and over time, would have led to abuse by politicians against free speech that impacted their re-election chances. In short, SOPA and PIPA were terrible proposed laws. But the politicians of both parties liked it because it filled their re-election coffers with loads of money.

As a result, except Ron Paul, none of the field of GOP candidates stood up agaisnt these laws when it counted. Only after the American people rose up with the broad black out the Internet protest this week, did politicians of both parties begin to withdraw their support for these horrible, freedom-destroying, Internet-wrecking censorship laws. The Republican Party leaders were mostly behind it until the people spoke. Do you think that these other Republicans would have stood against SOPA or PIPA or other similar they are always trying to sneak through if not for the protest? Even now, they are withdrawing the bills and you can bet they will resurrect them again when we let our guard down.

Ron Paul is led by the principles of liberty, and he stands against laws that attack it whether lobbyists give money or not. It it vitally important that all South Carolina citizens who cherish freedom and liberty, without regard for political affiliation, go to the polls today and vote for Ron Paul. These other Republicans would have gladly signed these bills into law during the lull of the holidays.

Another example of recent law, passed with little fanfare during the New Year's Day holiday, was the National Defense Authorization Act. None of the other GOP candidates objected to the provisions included which allow the U.S. military to arrest American citizens on American soil and hold them indefinitely during the pendency of the "war on terror." Romney said he supported it.

That NDAA law was signed on New Year's Day by the Democrat President Obama. It gives the Administration broad new powers to arrest citizens they label as "terrorists." The Obama Administration has already called Ron Paul supporters potential terrorists and its Homeland Security issued a warning about us to police departments across the nation.

The big government Republicans are not much different than the big government Democrats.

Freedom and liberty cross party lines. The establishment and leadership of both parties are attacking our American liberties. Ron Paul must be elected to stop the bleeding away of our freedoms.

South Carolina law allows anyone to vote in the Republican Primary today. All freedom loving South Carolinians, whether you typically vote Democrat or you are an independent, must face the rain and cold and turn out today, turn out, and vote for Ron Paul. Our freedom is too important to leave it to the regular Republican voters.

Iowa Straw Poll is Mere Guide to Determining the Iowa Delegates

The main stream media attaches great weight to who won the Iowa Straw Poll taken at the recent caucuses. Yesterday, to great fanfare, it was announced that Sanitorium beat Romney in the official caucus straw poll count. On the night of the straw poll, Romney's Campaign effectively won the straw poll as was announced to even greater fanfare.

The percentages are Sanitorium (25%), Romney (25%), Ron Paul (21%). The top three are all neck and neck in the straw poll and Ron Paul ended less than 4,000 votes behind whoever won it.

The straw poll really does not matter one iota.

In Iowa, the real determinate of the delegates who will go to the Republican National Convention and vote for a nominee is the State Convention. That Convention has yet to be held.

That does not mean that the Iowa Caucuses conducted a few weeks ago were not important. At those Caucuses, the people in the 1784 Precincts elected voting delegates. Those voting delegates will go to the State convention and decide there who won the Iowa delegates.

Next, the Republican party will begin the process of selecting the 41 delegates that will represent the state of Iowa.

Step 5 - After the caucuses in each county, a County Convention will be held to select the delegates for the District Convention, using the influence of the straw poll as a guide.

Step 6 - After the County Convention, a District Convention will be held in which all of the counties in that political district will decide on just 3 delegates to represent each district. There are 6 districts in Iowa for a total of 18 delegates.

Step 7 - The State of Iowa Republican Convention will decide upon a total of 23 more delegates, along with the 3 additional delegates per district, for a sum total of 41 delegates who will represent the candidates in the National Convention, at which the official Presidential Candidate for the Republican party will be decided.
Iowa Caucus Rules and Procedure (emphasis added).

The Ron Paul Campaign believes that in the end, Ron Paul may have actually won the Caucuses. See Ron Paul May Have Secretly Won The Iowa Caucuses; DID YOU READ ABOUT THE SHREWD MOVE THE RON PAUL CAMP PULLED LAST NIGHT?. That is because his campaign did not just turn out voters for the straw poll to the Caucuses, but turned out delegates who stuck around after the straw poll to elect the all important delegates to the State Convention.

The elected delegates will determine months from now the actual winner of the Iowa Caucuses, and the winner may well be Ron Paul. This is almost certainly true if Sanitorium drops out after a poor showing in South Carolina and an even poorer showing in Florida.

SOPA and PIPA protests change politicians hearts

Yesterday, this blog and many other more consequential web sites went down to protest the legislation intended to regulate "piracy."

SOPA was the name of the law that was under consideration in the House of Representatives. PIPA the law in the Senate.

Both of them included stiff, criminal sanctions against "piracy." The Bill itself purported to regulate "foreign" websites. However, the language was so fuzzy that it could have allowed actionable criminal prosecutions against domestic web sites. The threat of a criminal prosecution, and large fines and even jail for violators, creates a chilling effect on speech.

Many familiar websites would have been in jeopardy if they linked or posted embedded videos and articles. The largest corporations, including most of the large MSM organizations, could have filed complaints and used their influence to attack smaller sites and social media networks for alleged "infringement."

Copyright civil lawsuits (look up Righthaven) have already been used by MSM outlets as revenue sources. They bring frivolous civil suits in distant venues against websites like mine that allegedly infringe on their copyright. Then, because the cost of defending such lawsuits is very high, people pay off the extortionists to make it go away. The blog goes out of business.

That exists now. SOPA and PIPA would have made it so much worse.

That is why this site blacked out yesterday, and why so many others on the web engaged in the protest yesterday.
