Yesterday, Ron Paul launched his new internet media outlet, the Ron Paul Channel. The fireworks began during the opening tease, with Paul claiming that President Obama \u201cperpetuates terror while he claims to prevent it\u201d through his use of drone strikes to combat terrorism.<\/p>\n
Never shy of controversy, the former Congressman and Republican presidential candidate also blasted the war on drugs and the Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n
That was all in the first minute.<\/p>\n
The highlight of the show was even more controversial: Paul\u2019s exclusive interview with Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald has published the series of stories on Edward Snowden\u2019s disclosures about the domestic surveillance activities of the NSA.<\/p>\n
Paul was openly supportive of Greenwald and Snowden, saying \u201cI think it\u2019s just been wonderful that we\u2019re getting to the bottom of this\u201d and calling Greenwald \u201cthe most important journalist in the world today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greenwald indicated that more stories are coming, some refuting official responses to the initial disclosures reported already.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust today, we published a brand new article, just about an hour and a half ago, proving that President Obama was not telling the truth when he said that the NSA isn\u2019t listening to the telephone calls or reading the e-mails of American citizens without warrants, because we published a document internally at the NSA that shows that they have a loophole that they think they\u2019ve created, that allows them, when they collect foreign traffic, to search through any e-mails and telephone calls of Americans that are swept up in that data gathering, without a warrant of any kind,\u201d said Greenwald.<\/p>\n
