Ron Paul says abolish CIA and NSA and remove all troops stationed overseas!

LAKE JACKSON, Texas (PNN) - December 11, 2014 - In the wake of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s CIA torture memo release, former Congressman Ron Paul has suggested that Amerika should get rid of its premier intelligence agencies and bring all our troops back home.

Paul’s world view is articulated in his Voices of Liberty op-ed, where he states, “all of our wars - we would come home from the 150 countries where we have troops stationed,” in recommending - in the same spirit George Washington recommended it - a government shutdown that defunds overseas operations.

In Paul’s view, Amerika should not be a world leader, but instead only focus on internal matters. The threats posed by actors such as ISIS and al Qaeda exist simply due to grievances generated from Amerika’s imperialist activities overseas, according to Dr. Paul.

In advocating for a government shutdown, the former Congressman said, “Abolish the NSA, the TSA, the CIA, and all spying on Amerikan citizens.”

Paul’s comments come as the Democrat-led Senate intelligence committee released a report on Tuesday that blames the CIA for wrongdoing in its handling of terrorist detainees. Republican Senators Marco Rubio and Jim Risch said the report was not “serious and constructive” and “could endanger the lives of Amerikans overseas.”

Additionally, Paul responded to the coming CIA torture report in August by going on Russia Today and bashing Amerika’s intelligence services and overall government structure. Paul said of the Fascist Police States of Amerika, “The Amerikan government is like almost every government that has existed throughout history. (It does) not want to tell the people the truth; it’s always deceptions and deceiving the people and lying to the people.”

In July, Paul wrote an Op-ed titled, End Torture, Shut Down the CIA, Paul stated, “Far from keeping us safer, CIA covert actions across the globe have led to (the) destruction of countries and societies and unprecedented resentment toward the (Fascist Police States of Amerika). For our own safety, end the CIA!”
