La notori\u00e9t\u00e9 du bon docteur Paul, le parlementaire r\u00e9publicain du Texas Ron Paul, passe au cran sup\u00e9rieur. Elle atteint maintenant la culture mainstream<\/em> europ\u00e9enne, comme le montre cet article de Stephen Foley, dans The Independent<\/em> du 2 d\u00e9cembre 2009<\/a>. L’article s’attache certes aux id\u00e9es de Ron Paul mais \u00e9galement \u00e0 la mont\u00e9e de sa popularit\u00e9 dans toutes les couches de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 US. C’est ce dernier point qui est int\u00e9ressant.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00abThe 74-year-old Congressman from Texas, with his skinny frame and his hangdog face, is about as unlikely a poster child for the future of the Republican party as you are likely to find, but his ideas have struck chords with libertarian-minded college kids. Dismissed last year as the token nutjob in the line-up of Republican presidential candidates, his insurgent campaign proved surprisingly tenacious. Young people at music festivals wore \u00ab\u00a0Dr Paul cured my apathy\u00a0\u00bb badges, he spawned an internet fund-raising movement that had echoes of Barack Obama from the other side, and to this day he has a stronger YouTube presence than any other Republican politician.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbTo the extent that Paul is known outside the US, it is as the poor guy propositioned in a hotel room by a trouser-less Sacha Baron Cohen, in his movie Br\u00fcno. Paul flees, shouting: he’s queer, he’s crazy, he hit on me. But in the US, his books now become instant best-sellers and he tours university campuses pushing a libertarian agenda. Where once he believed he was seeding the ground for a movement that would triumph well after his own career is over, to his own astonishment, policies he has espoused to almost universal ridicule for decades might just be about to go into law.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbAnd this is why the economic and political establishment fears Ron Paul as one of the most dangerous men in America. His innocuous-sounding plan to subject the US central bank to a regular audit of its activities is a Trojan horse for the wider aim to End the Fed the title of his latest book. Behind the liberal-sounding policies lies an audacious agenda to erase 100 years of economic orthodoxy and take the US back to a Nineteenth-century version of every-man-for-himself capitalism. Inch by inch, he is making progress. The college kids I think are interested in the anti-war position, in personal civil liberties and allowing them to do with their own lives what they want but I tell them, if you ruin your own life don’t come begging the government to take care of you.<\/em>\u00bb [..]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bbPaul’s apocalyptic vision of a post-empire America, bankrupt and swept clean of federal government welfare and war spending, seems less fanciful with every day the dollar declines on the global currency markets. Foreign governments are mulling creating new currency units for trading oil and other commodities and for storing as reserves. The Texan Congressman is only saying the same things he has always said, but now fewer people think he sounds mad. And on America’s wars he is certain of one thing: they will end.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n

Notre commentaire<\/h4>\n

Il y a, dans cet article \u00e0 la gloire de Ron Paul, mais \u00e9crit sur un ton \u00e9tonn\u00e9, avec un zeste de scepticisme qui rend cette gloire ambig\u00fce, il y a une incompr\u00e9hension de l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement, certainement par inadvertance, par simple paresse de confronter les faits relev\u00e9s par ailleurs dans le m\u00eame article. Il suffit d’aligner les trois citations suivantes<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t D’abord ce constat : \u00abAnd this is why the economic and political establishment fears Ron Paul as one of the most dangerous men in America.<\/em>\u00bb <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t Puis, cette d\u00e9claration de Ron Paul o\u00f9 le bon docteur nous confie qu’il ne fait rien que mettre au jour un immense mouvement qui bouillonne sous la surface en apparence conforme des choses: \u00abWhat was boiling out there I just brought to life. This material has been available in a quiet way on the internet and from a few libertarian think-tanks, but I was pretty shocked when college kids started calling out End the Fed, End the Fed.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t Enfin, cette remarque dont tout le monde devrait d\u00e9sormais conna\u00eetre la tr\u00e8s forte r\u00e9alit\u00e9<\/a> puisque 313 d\u00e9put\u00e9s des 435 de la Chambre des Repr\u00e9sentants soutiennent la loi HR 1207 de Ron Paul sur (ou plut\u00f4t contre) la Federal Reserve, qui vient d’\u00eatre approuv\u00e9e par la puissante commission des affaires financi\u00e8res de la Chambre par 43 voix contre 26: \u00abEvery year for decades, Paul has introduced a bill calling for an audit of the Fed, but it was only this year, amid public anger over the Fed-financed bailouts of Wall Street, that Paul has found a rag-bag of politicians rallying to his cause.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRag-bag<\/em> (ramassis, pot-pourri) de politiciens, 313 d\u00e9put\u00e9s sur les 435 que compte la Chambre? Nous parlerions plut\u00f4t d’une tr\u00e8s confortable et honorable majorit\u00e9. Jusqu’\u00e0 nouvel ordre, la Chambre fait partie de l’establishment<\/em>, de cet establishment<\/em> \u00e9conomique et politique [qui] craint Ron Paul comme l’un des hommes les plus dangereux de l’Am\u00e9rique (\u00abthe economic and political establishment fears Ron Paul as one of the most dangerous men in America<\/em>\u00bb). Ainsi y a-t-il dans cette apparente contradiction l’une des structures de l’establishment<\/em> soutenant aussi majoritairement l’homme que craint le plus l’establishment<\/em> la marque d’une l’incompr\u00e9hension du ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne qu’est la popularit\u00e9 de Ron Paul cette popularit\u00e9, signe des temps logique bien plus qu’un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tRon Paul, lui, par contre, ne s’y trompe pas, et c’est certainement un point de plus \u00e0 mettre au cr\u00e9dit de son honn\u00eatet\u00e9 intellectuelle. Il ne dit pas n\u00e9cessairement que tous les Am\u00e9ricains sont des libertariens extr\u00e9mistes qui s’ignoraient (c’est-\u00e0-dire des adeptes du march\u00e9 libre int\u00e9gral) mais plut\u00f4t que lui, Ron Paul, par certains aspects de son programme, concr\u00e9tise un bouillonnement, une rage froide qui parcourt aussi bien l’opinion publique que, d’une certaine fa\u00e7on, l’establishment<\/em> lui-m\u00eame, ou une partie de cet establishment<\/em>. Il n’y a, dans cette agitation, nul complot ni vaste dessein, non plus qu’une r\u00e9volte organis\u00e9e. Il y a d’abord un immense d\u00e9sordre qui est la caract\u00e9ristique sous-jacente de ce syst\u00e8me de l’am\u00e9ricanisme sans colonne vert\u00e9brale r\u00e9galienne, sans aucun sens collectif du bien public; il y a ensuite un non moins immense d\u00e9sarroi qui se d\u00e9veloppe contre les effets catastrophiques de cet immense d\u00e9sordre, comme le montre l’enqu\u00eate PEW que nous commentons ce m\u00eame 4 d\u00e9cembre 2009<\/a>. Tout cela fait que les uns et les autres, y compris les gens de l’establishment<\/em>, \u00e9voluent dans une sorte de double comportement; d’une part la d\u00e9fense de l’ordre \u00e9tabli mais l’expression d\u00e9sordre \u00e9tabli conviendrait mieux; d’autre part, un comportement de r\u00e9volte contre les effets constat\u00e9s chaque jour de l’action du syst\u00e8me et de son d\u00e9sordre \u00e9tabli, des \u00e9checs, de la paralysie, de la crise financi\u00e8re et de la crise \u00e9conomique, etc. Et insistons l\u00e0-dessus: m\u00eame des membres \u00e9minents de l’estblishment<\/em> ressentent cela et montrent ce double comportement.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe mal est si profond qu’il ne s’agit \u00e9videmment pas d’une simple question de programme. M\u00eame si Ron Paul et la Chambre arrivent \u00e0 avoir la peau de la Fed<\/em> et \u00e0 mettre \u00e0 jour ses turpitudes, rien ne sera r\u00e9gl\u00e9. Le d\u00e9sordre sera encore plus grand, et le constat qu’\u00e0 partir de ces turpitudes de la Fed<\/em>, d’autres turpitudes sont \u00e0 mettre \u00e0 jour, et ainsi, d\u00e9tricotant toute la structure du syst\u00e8me Les mots inspirent la pens\u00e9e: d\u00e9tricoter la structure, c’est-\u00e0-dire d\u00e9structurer. L’aventure ne peut conduire, dans sa logique d’encha\u00eenement, qu’\u00e0 la mise en pi\u00e8ces du syst\u00e8me, se traduisant dans la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 politique et g\u00e9ographique (plut\u00f4t que g\u00e9opolitique, qui implique une certaine forme d’organisation de puissance d’un mouvement alors qu’il s’agit d’une dynamique centrifuge incontr\u00f4l\u00e9e) \u00e0 un besoin de rupture, de dislocation, de l’entit\u00e9 monstrueuse que sont les Etats-Unis d’Am\u00e9rique. C’est tout le mal qu’on peut souhaiter \u00e0 la situation du monde. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
