The Honorable Ron Paul Representative in Congress 200 West Second Street Freeport, Texas 77541 Via FAX Honorable Sir: The purpose of this letter is to inquire whether or not it is your intention to seek the office of the President of the United States in the general elections of November 2, 2004. We all live downstream from the biggest financial dam ever built. It is holding the biggest inland sea of liquidity ever created. After the latest additions made by its mad engineer Alan Greenspan, the dam began to crack and leak. The mad engineer is trying to close the cracks by channeling even more water into his inland sea, but the increased pressure only increases the volume of leaks, which rapidly expand the cracks and weaken the whole structure. Ordinarily, it is preferable that your family's need for privacy should take precedence over the people's need for your public service. But the stark truth is there is no alternative to your public service. If you will not accept the people's draft for putting an end to our Tweedledum-Tweedledee elections, and the monster dam is then allowed to burst, the privacy of your family will be the last thing for you to worry about. Removing the mad engineer and draining his inland sea, while of utmost urgency and importance, is only a small part of the problem. The big part consists of drawing the line on so called "Keynesian economics", and returning America and the entire world to the honest money regime of gold and silver. "Keynesian economics" is an oxymoron, a counterfeiter's fairy tale which has finally run out of its childish excuses. It may take years to make this line a reality. That's why, if it is your intention to seek the office of the President of the United States, it will be necessary to launch your campaign now, and not one year before the elections. By announcing your candidacy as early as this Christmas, you will automatically create a new shadow administration of this country, which will coordinate both the policy development and the process of electing better House and Senate in 2002 and 2004 elections. Educating the people what is really at stake so they can make right choices and vote intelligently in House and Senate elections of 2002 and 2004, and the Presidential election of 2004, will take time. In the absence and the open hostility of the establishment press, internet and your direct campaigning will be the primary instruments for educating the voters. Another benefit of the early start will be the automatic challenge to the sitting President, either to acknowledge the fiat money problem and lead the nation in ameliorating its most destructive results, or to issue LBJ style announcement "... I shall not seek, and I will not accept the nomination of my party for another term as your President." The early presentation to the nation of what is really at stake, will allow you not only to win Republican nomination, but also to win endorsements of Reform, Libertarian and other parties, as well as countless "Paul Democrats". These endorsements are essential for your November 2, 2004 victory. The need for sustained meritorious campaign based on Austrian economics is all the more compelling that frantic efforts are now in progress to install a new Keynesian supercurrency, Euro-Dollar-Yen, which will make the return to gold and silver even more difficult. The gold price manipulation scandal, now litigated in the Federal District Court in Boston, is the part of this effort. Its primary purpose is to prop up Euroland's economy, by maintaining artificial market for exports to America. For broad perspective on this litigation, please refer to: www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_01/tlaga102501.html Not many people realize that without returning the world to the honest money regime and thus expanding the world markets exponentially, the Euroland's economy, just like Japan's economy, will linger in semi-bankruptcy. Without exports to the United States and to the Eastern Europe, Euroland's economy would already be in doldrums. Exports to America are maintained artificially by way of overvalued dollar (gold price manipulation), and exports to Eastern Europe by political extortion. Poles, Hungarians, Czechs and others are tolerating Euro-leeches, which are sucking their blood in uneven trade, because they are hypnotized with mirage of joining European Union, which they think will give them a license to suck the blood of those who will remain outside. This is the whole secret of the "NATO expansion" dialectics. In reality, they will join Euroland on the way to bankruptcy court. The salvation is in returning of the whole world to the honest money regime of gold and silver, which, in the words of President Charles de Gaulle, "no one can possess without earning it, and no one can transfer without risk of loss". The idea of creating Euro-Dollar-Yen fiat money empire, can best be described as an effort to cure cancer by making it bigger. If it is not stopped timely, it may usher in a new Dark Age, as if Adolf Hitler had won the Second World War. Thanksgiving Day is the most American of all holidays. It goes back to the days of the Pilgrims. It brings all families together. That's why, I have chosen it for asking you, if it is your intention to seek the office of the President of the United States in the general elections of November 2, 2004. This letter will be posted at www.gold-eagle.com under a title "Thanksgiving Day Question". Happy Thanksgiving Day! Respectfully yours, Joseph. N. Tlaga tlaga@shadow.net
