Ron Paul – US States Seceding From Washington
Former US presidential candidate Ron Paul
Presstv
Former American presidential candidate Ron Paul says states will eventually break away from the United States but the good news is that secession is already underway.
The former Texas congressman made the remarks during a speech at a pro-secession conference, titled “Breaking Away: The Case for Secession”, late last month. The video of Paul’s speech surfaced on Friday.
“I would like to start off by talking about the subject and the subject is secession and, uh, nullification, the breaking up of government, and the good news is it’s going to happen. It’s happening,” Paul told a gathering at the libertarian Mises Institute on January 24.
He said that Congress would not approve secession, but the process rather would be de facto.
“And it’s not going to be because there will be enough people in the US Congress to legislate it. It won’t happen. It will be de facto. You know, you’ll have a gold standard when the paper standard fails, and we’re getting awfully close to that. And people will have to resort to taking care of themselves. So when conditions break down, you know, there’s going to be an alternative. And I think that’s what we’re witnessing,” Paul stated.
