Jesse Ventura speaks out on two-party system, Libertarians, Ron Paul
- Text size
Independent Political Report
July 14, 2008
Potential Minnesota Independence Party candidate for U.S. Senate, Jesse Ventura, was interviewed by Al Jazeera on April 9.
In the interview, he says of the two major parties: “They’ve turned the whole business of elections into panhandling and bribery,” and “These two parties now have America $9 trillion in debt.” Ventura says people who work their entire lives to leave something for their children are actually just leaving an inheritance that will be seized by government to service the national debt.
One remedy Ventura sees for crushing the “two-party dictatorship” is the inclusion of None of the Above as an electoral option at all levels. Ventura says he believes NOTA would win many races across the country. He also said a “wasted vote” is when you don’t vote your heart or vote your conscience. Ventura mentioned a Larry King poll that said 88% of respondents, of which there were more than 15,000, said Jesse Ventura should be running for president.
In describing himself as a “small-l libertarian,” Ventura says this of Libertarian Party members: “I found out that the capital-L Libertarians are anarchists, they don’t believe there’s any role for government at all. And I certainly believe there’s a role for government, I just believe it should be far more limited than what it is. I’m fiscally conservative, but I’m socially liberal.”

WAY TO ROCK JESSE

Run Jesse, Run!
July 14th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
Jesse will win in MN if he challenges Norm (pronounced Noam) Coleman, and Al Franken in the 2008 senate race. He has not yet confirmed that he is running. Minnesotans and Alaskans are the most independent voters in the US. Too bad the rest of the states are still caught up in the false left right paradigm.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
If you don’t believe me, look at the republican primary results for Minnesota and Alaska. I believe they were the only 2 states in which Ron Paul achieved double digit results. I could be wrong though, maybe there were other states that Ron Paul was equally successful in.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
I would vote for Ventura if he ran for president. As of right now I am doing a write-in for Ron Paul. Listening to the callers, they seem to have a better grasp on what is going on in America more then most Americans.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Uber your stats are off. Ron Paul had thousands of votes in my state alone.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
This is a pretty old interview, but good
July 14th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
Another great interview Jesse….
July 14th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Go Jesse! Keep speaking your mind and we will keep listening.
July 14th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
I sure hope he runs in 2012. Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul? Awesome, eh? Alan Watt from cuttingtrhroughthematrix.com keeps saying one man or woman can’t change the Agenda. I think he’s missing an important piece of the puzzle. It’s not about one man or woman; it’s about the message. Both Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul convey the message of truth. When the American people rally around such a message, it’s no longer one man or one woman. It’s an army of people who are tired of the bogus two party system. GO Jesse GO!

One senate term, then the White House. The first step starts today.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
unfortunately, ventura doesn’t tell us what he’s for. he only tells us what he’s against, and that is dishonest.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Jesse Ventura is right though, one person can’t change anything. One person can only change one other person. then that person changes another… and another.. and so on. When one person changes everyone, you’re looking at bush and his minions.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Jesse is cool but he’d do better to answer the question than spout on with his talking points when addressing an international audience. Was a good interview but.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Ask Jesse if he is going to bring up 9/11 Truth and Goebbel’s quote on Larry King Live?
July 14th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Go ahead and cut the hair my bohemian brother; we know you are liberated. Please Minnesota, put this dude in so the nation can have another Wellstone like muckraker from the north on that New Rome hill.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Noticed Alex hesitate, as well he should have when Jesse repeated the historical erroneous belief that Hitler said he would use a big lie technique: i.e. “The bigger the lie, the easier the sell.”
In Mein Kampf Hitler said the Jews use a big lie technique and that they are masters of it. Their use of this technique continues to this day as the Jews were responsible for 911.
Want some proof on 911? There is already plenty out there even if Alex and Jesse won’t dare speak about it. Here is 3 books: Victor Thorn’s “9-11 Evil”, “Stranger Than Fiction” by Dr. Albert Pastore, “Wrongly Blamed” by Dr Kaasem Khaleel.
Myself Jesse, it did not take me 2 or 3 years to learn that 911 was an inside job. I did not have to have one of my children have me watch a film. I never bought it. I was in shock for a couple weeks yes. I knew well of OK Bombing fraud/cover-up, it was just hard to believe the Jews would have the Chutzpah to pull it off, but they sure did. And continue to lie, lie, lie about it as well.
Does it do any good to identify the enemy? I would think so. The Jews have been expelled from about 80 countries 100 different times. The Jews are not the Israel people of the Bible. I have been saying this for years and years. Sure gets tiresome to be pointing these things out over and over again- to people who just began speaking out on 911 last month.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Of all Ventura’s recent interviews this one stands out as the best in my opinion. It’s always refreshing to hear some political opinions that aren’t full of spin, but instead logic. I think he could have a very good chance running as a thrid-party presidential candidate in the near future because he has name recognition. There’s a much greater chance the media will include him.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Jesse and Alex and everyone out there: You don’t have to search through rare books or go to a Neo-Nazi Skinhead meeting to learn the truth of the famous Hitler statement. Just Google- Hitler- Big Lie– and read. Learn the truth of Hitler’s statement that Jesse and other’s continue to repeat over and over again. Over and over. Puke. Disgusting. Are so-called Patriots ever going to learn who the enemy is? Not listening to Jesse Ventura will they.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
THe bible eludes to 99% of the world being deceived by the anti-christ (9-11) which became a conciousness changer. Now we are experiencing a lead up to a false armageddon, trust me, their will be scary times, but not like the ones coming after these times. These times are nothing in comparison. Humanity is selfish, ignorant, stubborn and cruel. And deserves to implode upon itself if it refuses wisdom and change.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Guys, Google “British Israel” and clear away some of the “The JEWS did it” confusion.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Jesus craves cock.
July 14th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
noble lie i’m always suprised how people stop their research after international bankers or zionists
even past the british isrealists is the teutonic zionists or hunseatic league
July 14th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
I totally agree with Ventura. Many anarchists identify with the Libertarian party, not knowing the party’s basic principles. Just talking with some of the so-called libertarians on this forum, they despise states’ rights and local ordinances as much as they despise the unconstitutional size of federal government.
If you’re a true libertarian, you would support local and state government and you get involved. You would also support a very limited federal government that protects its national borders, regulates standards, and other most basic functions as laid out in the articles of confederation.

RE: The National guard involvement in Vietnam. I served in Vietnam as a member of the 107TH out of Niagara falls along with other Guard units. Mr. Ventura stands corrected on this matter. Do not focus on Bush who served, HA HA, in the National Guard. Go Jesse!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I will vote for him if he runs in 4 years… I think ALOT of people will.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Thats spelled ‘Hanseatic League’. And the Teutonic Knights were not ‘zionist’ in any way shape or form. They are/were a military order of the Papacy. If you’re going to take things to natural conclusions…all roads lead to Rome. A case in point…the ‘zionists of Israel’ have ceeded East Jerusalem to the Vatican as part of the Oslo Accords.
If you wish to do research, do so completely.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
For the Love of all that is decent. I call upon the moderator of this BLOG to remove all BLASPHEMOUS irrelevant posts like the one a few steps up. Sir or Mam… You will regret with all of your being someday for uttering such words against the Holy God of Israel. I pray you will seek the forgiveness of your sins. Our Lord will forgive you, if you turn from your wicked ways.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Everything has been laid out for us by the masonic Illuminati. Everything we see is a contrived ruse to distract us. The 2- Party System, Failing Economy, War on Terror, even Ron Paul.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
will – I agree… it goes back a long, long way. Maybe all the way back to Sumer.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
idle posts – Why don’t you pray to GOD to censor us?
July 14th, 2008 at 4:54 pm
You know the most pathetic thing ever? A lot of people think Al Jazeera is a terrorist organisation!!! The idiocy of most people is incredible.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Mr. Ventura is right – he would face assassination if he would run now.
Note to fellow bloggers:
Let’s try to keep all inane babblings here to a minimum people. Enough with the crazy religious nonsense and random nutball comments – your’re making us look bad as a whole. The point here is that we want to be taken seriously because only the intelligent people are aware of what’s really happening to us and for these other comments to show up just really hurts the whole issue by making us sound like what “they” spin us as- “nutjobs”. Because if some neocon news show wanted to take a ‘random’ blog sample from a site like this, I’m sure they would pick one of the crazy sounding posts to further their agenda.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Jessie (the BODY…AND WHAT A BODY! and mind) Ventura IS MY HERO

rhonda: i remember ole jesse in his earlier years i also vaguely remember an antiwomen remark he made concerning pregnancy and childcare. hopefully someone reading this can fill in the blanks but i cant see a guy like this changing a whole lot. once a pig always a pig.

With the way things are going in this country, if they ever included a NOTA vote box on the ballet, the NOTA votes would be put up for sale to the highest bidder.
Right now, we have total garbage for candidates and I would vote for Ron Paul or Jessie in a heart beat. The fact is nearly any independent that would run would most probably have much more to offer than the stooges now on the stage.
This garbage with Israel is a crying shame and probably collects more votes from the brain dead and brainwashed Christians, that believe we must defend Israel because the bible says so. Since the Neocons have studied how to use the Christians exactly in this way, of course the Neocon politicians have woven this web of insanity and play the Israel card quietly, knowing it gets them at least 10% of the vote hands down. This one is actually bigger than the abortion issue which sucks up a lot of women and opposing Christians to tip the polls.
It is pathetically sad that we will lose this nation altogether, because the polls have been tipped using stunts like this, which allows the Neocons to lead us all around by pulling us by the balls with the most insane political hat & card tricks.
Lets see now, it 49 – 51 and who will win? Ahh, I know, lets talk about abortion again and get the good old time religious morons voting with their heart sleeves and to hell with our Constitution, Bill Of Rights, the economy and finally forget about arresting the bastards that got us into this mess in the first place.
America, we desperately need some real public education for adults, beginning with an understanding of how the Constitution and Bill of Rights is supposed to work, which then explains what the real issues are and what should be protected first and foremost. Then we need for declassified documents like Operation Northwoods to be on all the front pages of every news paper in America. America needs some real media critics that are truly respectible people, that feed the citizens what they should know, which includes the many aspects of the smoke and mirrors game and how the racket really operates. We should not abandon our Constitution, but rather, demand that it be fully enforced to impeach and imprison those that have used it in maligned ways for ulterior motives that do not serve or represent the will of We The People.
You idiots!!! you are voting for grandma, the one with big eyes and pretending otherwise will not save your ass!!! Ignorance and innocense no longer flies and it is time for action. Call, write your congressmen and senators, governors office, party reps and raise hell. Don’t stop, don’t ever stop and we have to stay on top of these bastards until things change for real. Most of all, we have to break the two party system and begin to provide some real adult education into the politics of this nation and what’s actually at stake, or should I say, “on the auction block.” Otherwise our elected officials will continue to auction off this nation until everyone is barefoot and close to butt naked.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Jesse would do well to answer the question when addressing an international audience. He seems to spout talking points that are aimed at U.S. citizens which is great when in U.S. media but not so great in this circumstance.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Dear yellowhak1, post 35
I have always known Jessie to be quite personable and respectful towards women. Although he does know what a bitch is and his abiltiy to recognize, “is what it is,” should not be held against him.
Of course it goes without saying, that rabid women will never see it that way.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
This was a great interview…hands down.
Now all you whiners can wait until July 27th for Jesse to announce something…you know, sit behind your PCs and whine all day.
…and you just sit there…
July 14th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Women R retards. That’s Y men run the world. & if U think women would do better, well, we would B lucky 2 survive, because they R so irrational they would nuke the planet on PMS day – & U all know it!
But, women make people – that’s all we got – so we deal with them
Now if they would just shut up & B rational, that would B nice – but they’re not – so B it.
“rhonda: i remember ole jesse in his earlier years i also vaguely remember an antiwomen remark he made concerning pregnancy and childcare. hopefully someone reading this can fill in the blanks but i cant see a guy like this changing a whole lot. once a pig always a pig.”
What kind of ‘pig’ stays married & has a bunch of kids with her? Oh yea’ – he’s just horrible (U anti-male fag propagandists)

Jessie will never please everyone, especailly the, “is what it is types.”
The problem with the, “is what it is types,” is they can’t stand hearing the truth about what they are and have become, whatever their form.
Like try and tell flies that they eat shit and the flies just do not want to hear it and insist upon being called sir and mam, as they use polls and their growing numbers to prove they are the norm. And they aim to change the Constitution, making it a turd eaters world too boot.
That’s the way it works today. If they win, guess what’s for dinner?
July 14th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
The Anglo, post #40
I hate to say this but you are right. The female mind typically does not get it, it’s like a guy joke that the women just don’t get.
Of all the people who do get it, it’s the more intelligent men for the most part, that can spot 9/11 as an inside job, as if it were an old fashioned foot ball play with rugbie rules too boot. Not all men get it, but many, many do, the way construction workers understand brinksmanship all in a day’s work, something that would send most women home in tears.
Fortunately, there are more and more women waking up and once they see and grasp this game that’s going down for keeps, it may be late, but better late than never and always remember respectfully, hell has no fury like a woman scorned! We need them when they finally come around, so please be patient and hopefully their scorn will rip the Neocons a new a-hole.
Come on ladies!
July 14th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
He just said on Larry King that he is not running.He sure milked that for all it was worth.I can’t blame him for not wanting to go through the attacks on his family again.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
This press about Ventura’s rumored run for president has given him an excellent stage for presenting the truth to more people than he would have otherwised been able to reach.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Not to mention, women have skills beyound most all men, except perhaps pencil neck men like Sean Hannity.
Now here is a fact where the women beat the men hands down. Women’s brains have been proved scientifically to be different from the male brain and they can actually talk 3 to 5 times faster than a man. The average man can speak about 4000 to 7000 words in a single day, but women can easily hit more than 20,000 words a day. Most men have sensed this difference, but never knew it is a scientific fact. It has to do with the amount of gray and white brain matter which has a different distribution between the sexes.
Of course this difference actually has it’s up side for guys and well, lets just call that one a guy joke.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
The truth is not liked by the ignorant person with no mind of their own – they do not know how to use their Brain power – they are the sheep that get’s sacrificed in the name of freedom by their Government and this kind of people say “everything is fine or there are no issues.
They have existed and will exist till the end of Humanity
July 14th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
I enjoy listening to Jessie – He knows the PR game and plays it well for all the right reasons. I’d vote for him – my only disappointment is that Ventura thinks Climate Change is Man-made.
Someone should tell him that Earth’s atmosphere can not melt the ice caps on Mars and he should know if the information is provided by Al Gore and the United Nations – take a very close look at the science and funding sources.
I hate that we are dupes but it took war after war and a depression to get us here… Crisis is the time tested method for proper re-education
July 14th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
I’d vote for Ventura over these other 2 yahoos. Just like Barr, Ventura won’t get any recognition from the media…well atleast not near as much as McCain and Obama. The chosen ones always win. Control the media, control the minds of America. People are too stupid to think for themselves. Simple as that. Otherwise Ron Paul would have done a whole lot better.
July 14th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
He’s mistaken about Libertarians.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
I still plan to write in ‘Ron Paul’ for president on my ballot. Maybe I’ll squeeze in ‘Jesse Ventura’ for Vice President.
July 14th, 2008 at 10:43 pm
Blacksmith/Facts/Yellowhak,
Blacksmith….So, now I see after reading your posts why you will not even acknowledge my presence anymore. Must be a man thing. Huh?
Facts….It seems to me that you have stuck up for women and since you were replying to a comment said to me, then you were also sticking up for me. Thank you. We just have to give Yellowhak the benefit of the doubt. He, afterall, said his memory was not good about Jessie from back in his prime days. That is a fact (Pun on your name intended that I believe only most men would understand and appreciate–hehe).
Yellowhak…Knowing the WWF players to the degree that I do, you have to give Jessie the benefit of the doubt. The wrestlers are there to entertain. If whatever he said was the way that you interpretted it, I am sure it was done for the sake of entertainment and we all know that the WWF is designed for pure entertainment. In addition, entertainment is my career and the rule of that “game” is to know your audience. Once you know your auidence, you can sell them anything and in the case of Jessie and the WWF, I would have to say that he did it quite well. He was, after all, the BODY (and what a body at that!…and now he is just the mind–hehe)
Finally, as far as him personally changing is concerned, if that is what you meant, you are correct. None of us really change in life even with environmental changes around us. So you are correct there. If you mean that he probably could not get much change done for the country, I beg the differ with you then. A person in power does not do virtually any changes at all. It is his or her skill in getting other people to do the changes. I believe that many people would be willing to follow whatever Jessie wanted to do much more so than our present dictator ruling cadre can and they are not doing that bad as it is already comparitively.
All in all, thank you for addressing your comment (#35) to me. I do hope that your fellow men here do not think that you have gone “under” in acknowledging me in a civil communicable way.
MEN!

Jesse is really missing the boat about the L.P.
LP National is owned lock stock and barrel by Big Oil, via Pipeline owner David Koch.
That is why the LP has not been a Genuine Opposition Party since before 1980.
The real LP has reformed into the Boston Tea Party. That is where Jesse should go.

Jesse Ventura won’t run for U.S. Senate DUD’S OUT
JESSE PULLS A RON PAUL, DESPITE PLEADING FROM ALEX,….. WRITES A BULLSHIT BOOK, THOUGH
TO BAD AMERICA,
(Reuters) – Former Minnesota governor and pro wrestler Jesse Ventura has ended speculation over his political future, announcing on Monday he will not run for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota this year.
Ventura, an independent who served as governor from 1999-2003, had been considering challenging incumbent Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken, a comedian, author and former radio talk show host.
Ventura, who during his wrestling career was known by the nickname “The Body,” cited family concerns and unwanted media attention for his decision. But there were other considerations.
“It was a difficult decision but it came down to almost this — surfing versus the Senate and I found surfing to be much more honorable than the Senate,” Ventura said. “The ocean doesn’t lie to you. The waves don’t lie to you. My government does lie to me today.”
With the Tuesday deadline for entering the Minnesota Senate race hours away, Ventura said it would take “an act of God” to make him change his mind at this point. (Reporting by JoAnne Allen, editing by Alan Elsner)

Government is force, Jesse.
Some think a little force is necessary for order but history is full of examples of
more force, growing, (at the end) exponentially til collapse.
Force always eventually eats itself, particularly institutionalized force.
http://djomama.blogspot.com/20.....ds-on.html
Almost no one sees force as the cause of collapse and so,
there is no political solution.
