ron paul finished third. but when the political storm left behind was that there was a market in iowa which republican presidential endorsements for the iowa caucuses were being bought and sold for cash. after the dust cleared in the 2012 presidential race after barack obama had been sworn in for a second term, there was still this hangover in republican politics and in iowa politics, this hangover worry about the all-important iowa caucuses, which have such an important role in choosing presidential candidates in this country. do the iowa republican caucuses have a bribery problem? about a year later in february 2013, a former staffer for michele bachmann filed a complaint with the federal election commission. while michele bachmann claimed the only reason she lost was because ron paul was paying money to that guy to get his endorsement, what her former staffer claimed is that michele bachmann was paying too. she also had that guy on the payroll for his endorsement. that complaint was filed february 2013. la

during ron paul's run for president in 2012. during that campaign, six days before the iowa caucuses, kent sorenson rocked the political world by publicly switching teams. kent sorenson had been the iowa state chair for the michele bachmann for president campaign, but sort of out of nowhere just six days before the caucuses kent sorenson publicly flipped. spent the afternoon campaigning with michele bachmann as campaign chair, that night appeared on stage at a ron paul event and changed his allegiance to the ron paul campaign. yesterday kent sorenson announced that switch was the result of a $73,000 bribe paid to him by the ron paul for president campaign. he pled guilty in federal court on two counts yesterday. pled guilty to working with the ron paul campaign to lie about the bribe money that was paid to him when the campaign exposed expenditures in federal documents and pled guilty about lying and was an obstruction of justice charge. one way to get in trouble for bribery is get caught taking the bribe. the other way to get c

now is as ron paul was saying this is the result of a broken u.s. policy a policy that has. contributed and really been the cause of this ongoing disaster in iraq and so i think what the impact of this now it's for the u.s. to get involved is you have a lot of people in the u.s. a lot of congress who feel like we still have to win in iraq we have people whose legacies are tied up in the whole history of modern iraq and they somehow have to weigh in as well as we have a very very strong brand of intervention in both the democratic and republican parties friend of mine said something the other day there's nothing quite as potent as the combination of violence and self-righteousness that you find in american foreign policy. well the jihad is have so far seized a large swathes of land in the country including oil rich regions and reportedly how they have been raking in millions of dollars a day by selling season oil on the black market so how much of a concern is it for western governments. well i think isis itself isis per se is a terrible concern what is a greater concern thou

presidential candidate and congressman ron paul believes the government knows more than its letting on is what he said on his voices of liberty radio channel. it's hard to believe that the u.s. with all its spy satellites available for monitoring everything in ukraine now precise proof of who did what and when is not available when evidence contradicts our government's accusations the evidence is never revealed to the public for national security reasons of course too bad we can't depend on our government to just tell us the truth and show us the evidence i'm convinced it knows a lot more than it's telling us when leaving the crash site last week international investigators said they couldn't access some areas due to ongoing fighting near the scene the probe is yet to establish what happened to the line of the western politicians and media mostly blame local militia and point the finger at russia for aiding them professor peter nick who collaborated with director of all of a stone on the t.v. series the untold history of the united states says that's misleading. we're getting a story a

ron paul speaking to r.t. the european union is threatening more measures against russia seeing the crisis in ukraine is being funded by moscow more than that it's urging countries around the world to respect europe's economic sanctions against russia where inside europe the unity appears to be fracturing or piskun off as more. for the past few months we've definitely been witnessing a rising tensions between russia and the west but what's happening now is already being described by many as a full blown trade war first in late july the e.u. slapped russia i would say start getting a whole sectors of its economy for major banks were hit and one airline was completely grounded but then russia announced counter measures banning the import of billions of euros worth of fruit vegetables meat dairy and other products european producers are the worst hit and brussels has to compensate the losses the problem is the size of its emergency fund is around four hundred million euros while the estimated damage may reach fiv

congressman and presidential candidate ron paul spoke about the prospects for america's latest moves in iraq he told us the u.s. risk sinking deeper into conflict on this it leaves the iraqis to deal with the islamic state on the road i'm surprised that they haven't retaliate a little bit better but one of the reasons why they haven't done very well is that i says ended up getting a lot of weapons from us and if they captured weapons they've got a modest syria and i'm sure there are some they came from libya so they're well armed so we haven't done the kurds any favor whatsoever i think the policy that we should follow is one designed to allow the iraqis to solve all their problems and stay out of this let them deal with it because we've tried for a long time we've lost a lot of lives spent a lot of money and we've allowed a mess to develop and there's nothing about amassing chaos there and in a way were partially responsible for the. ron paul speaking earlier in the week now we've got more stories for you on our web site including you might use it but you'd better not trust it impli

head aaron eighty hears from two time presidential candidate ron paul on the twists and turns of u.s. foreign policy. during a press briefing president barack obama sorts of that very unusual and used a certain term you almost never hear from a government bureaucrat. he told the audience that in the immediate aftermath of nine eleven we america did some things that were wrong we did a whole lot of things that were right but we tortured some folks yeah it is a rare thing to hear someone in the white house admit to torturing people after nine eleven but the question is why did he say this now please allow me to suspect first obama is the teleprompter master since he loves to read off a screen i doubt this was some sort of slip up this was probably done consciously but why well it always helps if you a look good by condemning the moral failings of previous presidents liberals and democrats love to hate bush so this could be some kind of pandering or trying to look good by comparison headlines like obama condemns torture sounds nice and dry out the fact that he sure approves of shelling c
