Republican warned of ‘race war’ and homosexual cover-up

A DIRECT-MAIL solicitation for Ron Paul’s political and investment newsletters two decades ago warned of a “coming race war in our big cities” and of a “federal homosexual cover-up” to play down the impact of AIDS.

The eight-page letter, which appears to carry Paul’s signature at the end, also warns that the US government’s redesign of currency to include different colours — a move aimed at thwarting counterfeiters — was actually part of a plot to allow the government to track Americans using the “new money”.

The letter urges readers to subscribe to Paul’s newsletters so that he could “tell you how you can save yourself and your family” from an overbearing government.
