IPFS News Link • Ron Paul Says...

Blame Russia? Fake News?

• LewRockwell.com By Alexa Erickson

The 2016 U.S. presidential election was bound by controversy, with powerful people, sick of the secrets and lies, blowing the whistle on elitist corruption. The aftermath has proven just as hairy, with more questions presenting themselves daily, and more answers, which go against the grain of a tight-knit country based on morality, have created a mudslide.

Dr. Ron Paul has been actively speaking out against the American electoral system for quite some time, claiming it is rigged in order to keep "independent thinkers" from succeeding. The former Texas congressman called the elections a mere "charade" that's steeped in deceit. Paul ran for the highest office as a Libertarian in 1988, and in 2008 and 2012 as a Republican.

Following reports that Hillary Clinton blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for personally cyber attacking her presidential campaign and ultimately costing her the 2016 election, Paul, founder of the Institute for Peace and Prosperity, spoke up against such claims, calling the U.S. government "propagandists" that simply push for a foreign policy of "intervening around the world."

He called Clinton's claims a "fiasco" in an interview with RT. "I think they're just agitating, because they lost the election. They're throwing out accusations and they have no proof."
