Ron Paul is one candidate for the presidency who need not fear having to defend himself as a propagandist for war. Each of the others will have to decide whether their ambitions for that office are such that they are willing to be promoters of the war system as a prerequisite for the establishment selecting them. Those who answer "yes" to that question – along with those members of the lockstep media who play their part in war-mongering – might also consider the costs of constructing a bunker to which they can retreat should there be a turn in the fortunes of war.
