Speaking in a southern drawl from Memphis, TN, Darrell Castle, Presidential nominee for the Constitution Party answered my questions: JF: Why are you running for POTUS? DC: I was the Constitution Party's nominee; the party wanted me. That's the obvious reason. But personally, I think that if the country could elect someone like me, the rule of law might possibly be restored. The rule of law is in serious jeopardy. I don't think it's deceased yet; it's very important to me. It is the focal point of what I'm trying to do. JF: What three things would you do first as POTUS? DC: First, I would start the process of withdrawing the United States from the United Nations and NATO and explain to the American people why I wanted to do that. (He explains later in this interview.) Number two, withdraw the U.S. from the Federal Reserve or repeal the Federal Reserve Act, which of course Congress would have to do. I'd explain to the American people why that was necessary. And third, start the process of trying to do something about the debt that the country faces so that it would no longer be obligated to its creditors, because I want the country to be free and independent again. DC: Just Monday, my campaign sent out 800,000 press releases to news organizations around the country. Of course, we have a website, Internet publicity, things of that nature. But word has gotten around about me on the conservative side of politics and that's where my party is. People who know about us, know about me. The question becomes publicity on the other side. That's where the press releases and more interviews like this one comes in. I did an interview with the Washington Journal with C SPAN a couple of weeks ago that was well-received. DC: Since the Indiana primary, we have had many, many people contact us, offering to volunteer and telling us they would support us. JF: How many states are you on the ballot? DC: Right now, I believe, that it's 19. We're working to get ballot access on the others. Frankly, unless we get some help, there are going to be some states we do not have ballot access in except as a write-in candidate. But we do believe we will have ballot access in enough states to theoretically win the election. In other words, we could generate more than 270 electoral votes if we carried all those states. DC: Texas, I know for sure, and the others we're working on. There are people doing that for me, so I can't honestly answer your question and be accurate. There are people who are in charge of doing that and I know they're working on it. JF: What is your international experience? DC: I'm a former Marine officer. I was pretty international in those days. I have the advantage of never having held political office before. I'm not a professional politician, but I have studied foreign policy and talked about it, and it's one of my interests. I have traveled extensively. 18 years ago, I started a foundation in Bucharest, Romania to minister to homeless gypsy children and it's grown into Mia's Children Foundation. We founded that and we still maintain it. DC: Yes I do. I'm very much opposed to it. I'm not necessarily opposed to free trade. I don't think the TPP is about free trade. I really don't see any need to turn the trade sovereignty, the authority of the United States over to foreign corporations. I don't like the idea of giving international corporations, never mind foreign governments, them too, but foreign corporations, the right to sue the United States and demand that it change its trade policy. I want the United States to be a free and independent country. If we want to negotiate a deal with Mexico for example that says: you let us ship our goods to Mexico without import duties and we'll do the same for you, I have no problem with that. But that's not what the TPP is about so I'm dead set against it. DC: I do realize that, yes. Yes I would repeal NAFTA. JF: You said you would withdraw from the U.N. and NATO. Please explain why. DC: When NATO was formed, it has 28 members, the United States was one of those members. When it was formed, I would think there was probably some use for it. We were probably very concerned that Soviet tanks would come rolling across the German frontier at any minute and it was something that was supposed to prevent that. We had just come out of World War II and we encountered a new enemy and that's really not the case anymore. The United States kind of entered into a deal with those other 27 countries, and that is, you won't have to provide your own defense, we'll do that for you. In return, you can use your entire GDP to advance your economies and fund your welfare states. And the United States can't afford it anymore. It's becoming a little too belligerent. Promises were made between President Reagan and President Gorbechev that NATO would not advance to the edge of the Soviet Union or the old Soviet Union, if the wall would come down. Then the European Union would not swallow up those states and NATO would not be right at the edge of Russia. Unfortunately, those promises were not kept. So I think that organization has outlived its usefulness and does more harm than good. As far as the U.N. goes, as I stated earlier, I want the United States to be a free and independent country, able to make its own decisions in the world. I don't want it to be isolated, that's usually the charge you get when you talk about things like this. But [the U.N.] is the center of many of things in the world that I don't like. It's the center of depopulation and it's the center of the destruction of sovereignty of nations. It's the center of this new global world that we seem to be building. For example, Mr. Trump says he wants to build a wall on the southern border supposedly to prevent immigrants from entering the United States illegally, but the same time he's talking about that, the United States government is building a digital wall, an electronic wall around the entire world so that it can observe every human being on earth, 24/7, no matter where they go. I would like to start the process of taking that whole system apart. JF: That would be quite a task. DC: It would, but what better task for the President of the United States to engage himself in? DC: I think that the United States should start trying desperately to produce its own energy. We're doing that to some extent. We say we're not going to, we don't want to develop our own energy. We don't like fracking and we don't like the Keystone pipeline but we don't mind doing it in other countries. In other words, if we buy our energy from Saudi Arabia, we don't really care what happens to their environment. It's kind of a silly argument to me; it's something that has to be done. It causes a lot of violence in the world when we don't produce our own energy because we have to humble ourselves. Saudi Arabia, one of the most oppressive regimes in the world according to our friends at the U.N., they beheaded 150 people last year, we have to go to those people and do deals with them as the President just did when he flew over there when they were all upset about the 28 missing pages from the 9/11 Commission Report. He told them that we would guarantee their security, them and the other Gulf monarchies. I'm completely flabbergasted and opposed to that sort of thing, and if we produced our own energy, we wouldn't have to do it. JF: What type of energy would you be going after; what sources? DC: We could produce our own oil, and what we can't produce, we can buy from friendly countries like Canada. And if there's green energy available to be produced, I mean, there's technologies out there that I don't have the technical experience to understand. I think there's new technologies. I would start with trying to develop our own petroleum energy and see where that took me. JF: What would you do if or when the derivatives bubble burst? DC: That's a good question. It sounds kind of terrible, but probably nothing. In other words, I think what we did in 2008 was a horrible mistake. What we got out of it was 20 trillion dollars in debt. My philosophy, my set of principles is: let failing companies fail. There's no such thing as "too big to fail". Let them fail; that's creative destruction. Newer faster banks will come along, younger banks. And they'll stop doing this. As a result, the system is flushed, cleaned out. If you don't do that, if you keep doubling down and compounding the debt and giving these people a license to say "look, this is a pretty good business you're in because if you get to make a profit, you keep it, but if you don't, the taxpayers will come along and bail you out." That needs to stop and these companies need to start operating on a real, genuine free market system where there's no one there to catch them when they fall. JF: Do you think the derivatives market should be regulated again? DC: Yes. I think there are far too many regulations and some of them should be stripped away from American business so that they can hire people again, but at this point, I don't see any way to avoid regulating it, yes. DC: That, plus the fact that we're there with taxpayer money to catch them when they implode. JF: There's so many people who don't like Hillary and don't like Trump... DC: I've met a lot of them recently. You're absolutely right. They talk to either me or whoever the Libertarian candidate will be and they want to know what the differences are. JF: What are the main differences between you and the Libertarians? That you don't believe in legalizing drugs? DC: The Constitution party's official position is we don't believe in legalizing drugs, you're right. But me personally, I have said all along that I am an advocate of decriminalizing possession. I think it's a liberty issue and a moral issue. We should not be putting people in prison for possessing these things. There are other ways of handling it and it's causing the whole war on drugs to be a disaster. We differ on the subject of abortion. Our party is firmly against it. Their probable candidate, Gary Johnson, has said that he's in favor of it. Most of the time, Libertarians take an open borders position and I don't. I take a secure borders position. Poster Comment: Boot the D&R gender confused (Canaries) out of the girls bathrooms!
JF: How are you publicizing your campaign?
JF: How many states have you filed your letter of intent as a write-in?
JF: Do you know about the Trans Pacific Partnership?
JF: You realize that the Investor State Dispute Settlement process is also part of NAFTA; would you repeal NAFTA?
JF: What is your energy policy?
JF: That's why it's getting out of hand; there's absolutely no oversight.
Jail or hang the Republican and Democrat scofflaws, after a speedy trial! Deport the ObamaBush "GuestWorker/DreamStudent" invaders. "I think that if the country could elect someone like me, the rule of law might possibly be restored"

It would be nice but all it would do is get Hillary elected. Anyone that thinks trump and Hillary are same is not being honest. He need to takeover the gop from the inside.
uh oh: You are being dishonest.
That's like going to hell, so you can take over. Who wants it? Just keep telling yourself Hillary is no different than trump. Trump is not perfect but beats the hell out of Hillary. If you want another 8 years of Obama elect Hillary.
We already live in hell.
Explain your position. What areas of government do these two charlatans have in disagreement?
Shut up, asshole. You know very well the differences between the two. Now, open borders, fag weddings, Peter Puffer bathrooms and legal drugs are the same political platform between KILLarys party and you Paultards... to name a few.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
As a government employee begging for a buck, you begged for the POWER for you to enforce wittle kids across a street as a schoolguardcop for twenty years. What, you are changing your perspective now? Weird.
Trump is against those? When did he say so? A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. Trump is not perfect but it's the fact that he might be staw that breaks the gop elites back. The only thing Hillary will do is bankrupt America financial and mentally. Trump has a chance not to bankrupt.
Trump encouraged the use of transgenders in his hotels for use of any restroom.
Hmmm, surprised you libertarians spent so much time at the huffington post. Looks like a hidden hillary stooge may be lurking.
Maybe, you can explain "HOW"; he sure as HELL won't.
They would rather Hillary be president than trump. Do yo really believe trump will be the same as Hillary?
Of course.
Oh course what?
Trump is not a good American for government, similar to Clinton.
Compared to what? Hillary is far far worse than anyone but Obama. Stacking them back to back ends America as we know forever. Trump at his worse is better than Hillary at her best. There is no on else who will win!
We have 2.4 million people in prison. I'd like him to give me the name of one person who is in prison for simple drug possession. There are none. The scumbags in prison are illegal drug manufacturers, drug traffickers and drug dealers. And that's where they belong. There or six feet under.
You're a merchant of death for the education/pharma/prison industrial complex, protecting ObamaCare and your WOD profits. How do you measure Trump's record in government? You can't; so you are forced to evaluate his publick record of stump speeches. He is a godamned liar; he isn't going to change anything. Congress will hand him his plate of actions and that is unlikely at this point.
Stupid iPad. It's impossible for trump to be worse than Hillary. Btw I like the constitution party but in the end we have 2 choices. Hillary or trump. The fact that trump ran a business in progressive hell and survived tells me he is a billion times better than Hillary.
He continues to "flip-flop" in his stump speeches. This tells me that he is unreliable and is likely to change his opinions at any tyme and on anything. It also means to me that trump's positions are not grounded in principles. America needs principled elected leaders.
We get what we deserve. So how will you vote? Hillary or trump?
I am often asked this question which is truncated with a choice about Clinton or Trump. I have other choices beyond the GOP/DEM bandwagon; I refuse to vote for a government that allows the abuses of the US Constitution as the GOP/DEM party have performed.
Not and count. In reality you have a vote for trump, Hillary or Hillary.
My votes count because I don't add to the collective ignorant pile of Americans that have destroyed this nation voting for the GOP/DEM party.
That is your right. I think fighting to keep US from totally collapsing into chaos by progressives over loading the system with nonsensical laws and regulations. Which is what the progressives want. That way they can then use a heavy hand of the socialist party to take over and the Republic is dead. I to thought the third party was the way to go but I realize that all it will do is push us farther and farther to the left until we have no rights as we know them. I realize that we have to kill the demoncrat party and let the progressives leave our party to shore up the demoncrat party while the GOP is taken over by the more conservative libertarian people. Party of the citizen not the party of the global corporations or special interest groups. Not saying you have to vote R all the time but if it stops a major push to the left[Hillary/Obama] and or crushes the progressive wing of the GOP vote R.
Separated at birth. Thank you for not voting for the goobernator's twin brother, SchwarzenDrumpf. Yer a great American! Yer a great American! Thank you 2 for voting for another super progressive. I hope you like the last 24 years because once Hillary takes control those will be the years you tell you kids or grand kids were the best years. The years were we could have stopped progressives from taken the federal government over. If you wanted real change you should have voted for a real conservative/libertarian in the GOP primaries. Then got your friends to do the same.
Say it Buckyboy. PRESIDENT TRUMP. Get use to it. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
