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 80's, 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 90's, 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, should not 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?
