‘New’ Republicans Behind
Paul Ryan’s Political Rise

By Michael Collins

. No media report on the selection of Rep.
Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as Mitt Romney’s running mate
has noted its real significance.
The first-ever candidate on a national
ticket of his generation to emerge from Congress —
the exception being Barack Obama, who served in
the Senate — Ryan spent his entire adult life, beginning
at age 19, immersed in the
inner circles of the “new” Republican
Party.
This one subtle nuance says
much about Ryan, who, as a high
school senior, was voted “biggest
brown-noser.” In fact, Ryan’s entire
career has been sponsored by
high-level, hard-line pro-Israeli
forces that — at the time Ryan first
became involved in politics — were just beginning
to make their heavy-handed presence felt in the
GOP. Until that time, the Republican Party had
largely been indifferent to the demands of the Israeli
lobby, with some GOP leaders actually (on occasion)
standing up to that lobby.
Ryan’s first political stint came as an intern for
then-Sen. Bob Kasten (R-Wis.), who — in prior service
in the House — was associated with the Conservative
Opportunity Society (COS), a bloc of
House Republicans led by then-Rep. Newt Gingrich
(R-Ga.). The group’s leaders publicly proclaimed
their determination, in the words of
then-Rep. Vin Weber (R-Minn.), to make the GOP “America’s new internationalist party.”
COS members were outspoken advocates for Israel
and actively worked to advance the interests
of Israel, once even frustrating an effort by former
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman
Adm. Thomas Moorer to force
Congress to launch an inquiry into
Israel’s murderous 1967 attack on
the USS Liberty.
Later, Ryan went to work for
Weber at a “think tank” called Empower
America founded by Weber
after he left Congress. Empower
America was so much a front-line
force promoting Israeli interests and the globalist
agenda to the point that Ryan’s sponsor was
named to the powerful Council on Foreign Relations
(where he is a member of its board) and
served as chairman of the National Endowment for
Democracy (NED), on whose board he still serves.
Critics view the NED as an influential force advancing
American imperial meddling around the
planet.
Ryan then went back to Capitol Hill, where he
was legislative director for then-Sen. Sam Brownback
(R-Kan.). Although Ryan had, by that point,
left Brownback’s office, Brownback received unwanted
attention when AMERICAN FREE PRESS revealed
in an international exclusive that Brownback
entered into an agreement with Israeli lobby
forces to institute legislation to curtail criticism of
Israel by professors and students on American college
campuses. Brownback did this by threatening
to cut federal funding to colleges that permit such
exercise of free speech. Brownback even spoke of
setting up a tribunal to enforce the censorship.
Considering all of this, it is no surprise that preceding
Romney’s selection of Ryan as his running
mate, two major journals with long-standing ties
to pro-Israeli neo-conservative circles — The Wall
Street Journal (published by Zionist billionaire Rupert Murdoch)
and The Weekly Standard (founded
by Murdoch and still edited by neo-conservative
power broker William Kristol) — urged Romney to
select Ryan. That both publications are closely
allied with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu — a longtime friend of Romney — points
further toward the Zionist origins of Ryan’s rise to
the top of the GOP pyramid.
