In 1981, a lawyer tried to subpoena Ron Paul to testify in the trial of Don Black, a Grand Wizard for the Ku Klux Klan who would later go on to found the white supremacist, neo-Nazi website, Stormfront. Black was charged along with two other Klansmen with planning to violently overthrow the small Caribbean country of Dominica in what they called “Operation Red Dog.” While a judge refused to subpoena Paul, Don Black would come back to haunt him many years later.
In 1981 a group of American and Canadian white supremacists lead by Klansman and mercenary, Michael (Mike) Perdue planned on taking over a small West Indian country called Dominica by overthrowing the government and Prime Minister Eugenia Charles and restoring its previous prime minister, Patrick Johns into power. The group planned to create an Aryan paradise in Dominica and make money through casinos, cocaine and brothels.
On the day the group of white supremacists were supposed to travel to Dominica, they were arrested by ATF agents and were found with over thirty automatic weapons, shotguns, rifles, handguns, dynamite, ammunition, a confederate flag and a Nazi flag. The plan would be dubbed “The Bayou Of Pigs” after the failed invasion of Cuba.
The leader of the group, Michael Perdue, would plead guilty to planning the coup and turned state’s evidence. Perdue would testify that several other people helped organize and fund the coup and that two Texas politicians were aware of the plan. Among those Perdue implicated were infamous white supremacist, David Duke, former Texas Governor, John Connally and Congressman, Ron Paul whom he claimed knew about the plot. Connally was credited with helping Paul win his first congressional election.
A judge refused to subpoena Paul and Connally despite the fact that Perdue had claimed that both of them were aware of the plot. Don Black’s friend and fellow KKK Grand Wizard, David Duke was called to testify before a grand jury but claimed that he would take the Fifth Amendment and never testified. While Duke was never charged with a crime, several books points to Duke as the organizer who connected Perdue to the other mercenary Klansmen and the people who funded their endeavor. (1 2 3) Everyone else implicated by Perdue was charged with the plot.
Perdue implicated three men as funders of the plot, L.E. Matthews of Jackson, Mississippi, James C. White of Houston, and David Duke’s close friend and backer, J.W. Kirkpatrick. Kirpatrick would kill himself before he could stand trial and White and Matthews would be acquitted in court. Former Prime Minister of Dominica, Patrick Johns would be sentenced to 12 years in prison for his part of the plot. Michael Perdue, Don Black and seven other Klansmen would be sentenced to only 3 years in prison.
Ron Paul has never made a statement denying knowledge of the plot despite the fact that he was implicated by Perdue and almost subpoenaed. Two of the people involved in the plot, Don Black and David Duke have gone on to become two of the most prominent white supremacists of the modern era, and also two of Paul’s most controversial supporters.
Top 10 Racist Ron Paul Friends, Supporters
Paul would be once again tied to Don Black 26 years after the Bayou Of Pigs. After it was revealed that Black donated $500 dollars to the Ron Paul Presidential campaign, Ron Paul’s campaign refused to give it back. Paul was photographed with Black and his son by David Duke’s former assistant, Jamie Kelso who was an organizer for Ron Paul and the owner of white supremacist sites, WhiteNewsNow.com and TheWhiteRace.com and a moderator for Black’s neo-Nazi website, Stormfront.
Black would become one of Paul’s most enthusiastic supporters and helped rally the white supremacist community around Paul, through Stormfront. Paul would praise another Operation Red Dog planner, David Duke in his newsletters and Duke would return the favor calling him “our king” and endorsing him for President.
This would not be the first time Paul was tied to white supremacists. In 80s, Paul claimed that the best source of his campaign donations came from a list from notorious neo-Nazi, Willis Carto’s publication, The Spotlight. In the 90s, Paul’s newsletters were originally discovered from an online neo-Nazi directory. As recently as 2006, Paul was scheduled to appear on David Duke’s white supremacist protégé, James Edwards’ radio show, “The Political Cesspool.”
Ron Paul’s White Supremacist Radio Connections
Given the scrutiny given to presidential candidates, shouldn’t Paul’s connection to an attempted violent invasion of a small island by white supremacists be re-investigated. If the media investigates every accusation of affairs or sexual harassment for Herman Cain or Newt Gingrich, shouldn’t they investigate accusations that Paul knew about a white supremacist plot to violently overthrow the government of a small Black island, especially with Paul’s other connections to white supremacists?
Ah, yes, if only they were capable of clear thinking and logic.
“Incorporation” is a jurisprudential invention from the Progressive Era and the New Deal. Paul Freund wrote the definitive book on the 14th and its history. Anyone truly interested in the 14th would do well to read it, as well as Phillip Hamburger’s more recent book, Separation of Church and State.
Ironically, the “50 state tyrannies” argument is one that has long been a favorite of the faculties at Harvard and other “elite” law schools for taking federalism out of our “living” Constitution.

You are wasting your time here. A form of political dementia has overtaken FR, and rational discussion of candidates is not allowed.
The story is absurd - John Connally and Ron Paul allegedly “knew”, which on its face ought have been a warrning sign that the story was bogus. At the time of the story, Texas was still firmly under the control of Yellow Dog Dems. If something like this had been true, the Ds - especially the unions in RP’s district - would have made sure he was run out of office or investigated and indicted.
So then you believe, as Paul does, that State governments can, for example, eliminate your 2nd Amendment Rights or 4th Amendment Rights? (which he specifically wrote about and sided with the States in the cases of Heller and Chicago vs. McDonald)?
Hum?
However, I do know that Don Black and David Duke have endorsed Ron alterPaul this time a around.......which really makes this article, well really interesting and possibly revealing.
M do you additional source for this? (Haven’t done my own search yet.)
!. primary season
2. not hate when if it’s true
3. wake up alterPaul is a lose cannon
Geez. This is a wild story. I never heard this before. I can totally see Paul circulating with people like this.
I used to live in that district and I have worked at a chemical plant there for Brown and Root, worked on my father’s shrimp boat and other things, I wasn’t aware of much union presence.
Let me really stir the pot:
Two of these people were “well rumored” to be the financial backers of James Earl Ray, the man who shot MLK.
There is really no doubt that Ray fired the fatal shot, but he obviously never had the money to finance his travel, pre and post shooting.
Somebody paid the bills, and two the people mentioned here were suggested by “usually reliable sources” to be involved in some way, but with nearly not enough evidence to ever indict.
And that's why these attacks keep fizzling. Moreover, Ron Paul's intellectual mentors were mostly Jewish. Murray N. Rothbard was, and so was Ludwig von Mises himself. von Mises sat on the John Birch Society's Editorial Advisory Committee, but that certainly didn't make him anathema to conservatives. In fact, I got a copy of the third edition of Human Action courtesy of the Conservative Book Club back when I was in university.
Another reason why they fizzle is because Ron Paul's already been cast as a peace activist, with lotsa evidence to back that characterization up. "Neo-Nazi peace creep" ain't makin' it.
ping for later
Huh? White supremacist endorse him, I guess they do that be alterPaul express their views.

Maybe they are all racist white supremacist too and this doesn't bother them in the least?
Apparently you are unaware that on Dec 29, 2011 Ron alterPaul said he knew of those racist, anti-Semitic letters with his name and he may have actually contributed to some of them.
He is a racist and he is anti-Semitic.
I heard Ron Paul is a witch.
brothels.
