If you support Ron Paul, or are at least thinking about giving him your support, you have probably heard the terms "insiders" and "outsiders" used in reference to the people in Washington. The insiders are the people who are members of the exclusive think tanks, policy organizations, lobby groups, and other groups that influence and decide policy. The outsiders are those who aren't.

However, the term "insider" hides the insidious reality. Who are they really?

Ron Paul says he is not one of the insiders:

"I'm not a member of any secret society...I haven't been invited by the Trilateralists of CFR (Council on Foreign Relations). I don't get to go to their meetings."
