Lew Rockwell: Ron Paul Not Using the State or UN to Control RonPaul.Com

New submitter sbulut77 writes with a follow up to accusations Ron Paul is using the UN to gain control of ronpaul.com. "Lew Rockwell explains the RonPaul.com issue. There is so much misinformation on this topic, his blog is very welcome. His blog entry is pretty short and well-written please read the blog post directly." From the article: "Ron is not calling on the UN. ICANN has four approved arbitration organizations. Because the RP.com guys registered Ron's name in Australia, the international arbitration option must be used. Yes, it is associated with the UN. Too bad, but one must play the cards one is dealt. The UN itself is not involved, though note — whatever else is wrong with it — the UN is not a State."

Re:So he is not using the UN, just the UN

You sound like one of those people who cannot grasp and handle (the admittedly imperfect) reality.

He was offered (a) an option to buy the site, for, given that it's a political site, quite a reasonable sum (and anyway, free market, who cares if it's reasonable, if it isn't, it doesn't sell!) and (b) the option to have free use of the site/domain as long as it remained in control of the original owners.

He was offered the same options he get in the free market (possibly better than the free market, since then they wouldn't necessarily have the threat of interference), yet he uses the option that he wouldn't have in the free market, that he's always rallying against. I'd say the GP has this pretty spot on.
