President Trump is ushering in a "Golden Age" alright, just not the one MAGA voters were expecting. Instead of getting government off our backs, and no more wars, Americans have been saddled with warmongering on a daily basis, and a turbocharge of government spending, debts and inflation! Those who want to protect themselves from Trump's reckless government policies are piling into gold and sending the price to new all-time highs.

After a very promising start, at least with regard to Russia, President Trump appears to be heading down the Biden road to more confrontation and WWIII brinksmanship. On Israel he has shown himself to be anything but the peacemaker he promised to be, forcefully rejecting any Congressional efforts to slow down weapons transfers to an Israel that is using said weapons largely against civilian populations in Gaza. Have the neocons completely gotten their hooks into Trump?
New poll numbers go from bad to worse for President Trump, as his MAGA base - who signed on for "no more wars" and "America First" - are increasingly disappointed watching the nightmare unfolding in Gaza, while Trump continues to back Netanyahu's slaughter. Conservatives inside and outside Congress are increasingly vocal over the harm being done by Trump's continued support of Israeli actions.Get tickets to the Ron Paul Institute's August 16th DC Conference!More info here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/blueprint-for-peace-tickets-1397170888739
It was a bizarre display: President Trump read the terms of surrender to EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen. One of those terms was for the Europeans to purchase a quarter of a trillion dollars worth of very expensive US LNG each year. The other terms are equally impossible. Are we in a post-reality society?
Meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, President Trump announced his decision to scrap his 50 day deadline for an end to the Ukraine war and instead make it a 10 day deadline. But what will he do? Trash the US economy with 100 percent secondary sanctions on China and India? Green-light deep strikes into Russia - Biden-like - and bring us back to the brink of WWIII?

Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Some two million Vietnamese were killed in the war along with nearly 60,000 Americans. Were there lessons learned from Vietnam and if so have they been forgotten half a century later. Also today: Waltz is out as NSC and Hegseth threatens Iran with War.
description: House Republicans have stepped up to Donald Trump's plate just weeks after Trump announced a trillion dollar military budget for the first time. Mike Johnson's House Republicans ADDED another $150 billion to push the official spending bill over the trillion dollar mark. That's ten thousand dollars PER FAMILY going to the military-industrial complex. Also today: Is the Ukraine mineral deal on or off?
President Trump's second term will reach its 100th day tomorrow. How should peace and prosperity lovers view the successes and failures thus far? What can he do better?
Over the weekend President Trump suggested that with the "bonanza" created by his "Liberation Day" tariff plan, taxes on Amerians making $200K or less may be sharply reduced...or even eliminated. Can it be done? Also today: Saudis to buy $100 billion in US weapons. What could go wrong?
The feud between President Trump and Fed Chair Powell is really a fool's errand. Neither can possibly know what interest rates should be, simply because interest rates are derived in the marketplace. Price fixing, by either the Fed or the President, always ends us creating economic malaise. The Fed should not exist because there's no way to properly fix prices, and counterfeiting is unconstitutional and immoral. The current posturing between fails to get us closer to ending this anti-American institution.
The Trump Administration has expended enormous time and energy attempting to end the war in Ukraine, yet with each step forward the Administration seems to be forced to take two steps back. It is becoming more and more clear that the negotiations are going nowhere - even the Administration is admitting this. In fact they are doomed to fail. And here's why...
Today's Liberty Report is joined by executive vice president of The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), Nico Perrino, to discuss the threats to the First Amendment on US college campuses and elsewhere.
Recently fired top Pentagon advisor Dan Caldwell took his case to the massive Tucker Carlson show yesterday, explaining that despite whispered accusations against him and his two colleagues, there was not even an investigation as to whether they were responsible for leaks. It's clear that the neocons are getting desperate for their war on Iran and intend to purge any voices of reason. Also today - Ambassador Huckabee to Palestinians: "Starve!"
Weekly Update --- REAL ID - Phony Security, Real Authoritarianism by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Just days after media reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discouraged President Trump from attacking Iran, multiple media stories have dropped claiming incompetence and worse on his part. Meanwhile three top aides known for a more realist approach to foreign policy have been sacked on dubious grounds. Is Hegseth about to learn what happens when you cross the neocons?
American Troops Are Meant To Protect America -- Bring Them ALL Home! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
When reading the New York Times it is best to treat it like reading Pravda in the days of the USSR. It is the mouthpiece of the deep state. So what are they trying to convey in this lengthy "blockbuster" report that Trump has put a temporary kibosh on Netanyahu's plan to use the US military to fulfill his long-held fantasy of attacking Iran?
During the visit of the president of El Salvador to the US this week, President Trump expressed a desire to deport not only illegal aliens, but also American citizens to El Salvador's notorious prison. Is this Guantanamo "extraordinary rendition" on steroids? Also today, Trump's team is divided on Iran: half want to talk, the other half want war. Who will win?
While the second Trump Administration was billed as a clean break from the neocons who have dominated Republican (and Democrat) politics for decades (including Trump 1.0), unfortunately we are steadily seeing neocons and especially neocon policies creeping back into place like a bad virus...
Weekly Update --- Standing at the Edge of the Iran War Cliff by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem announced Friday that the the notorious PATRIOT Act-era REAL ID scheme would go into effect at the end of the month. REAL ID is one of the greatest threats to Americans' civil liberties in decades. Also today: The State Department knew before arresting a foreign Tufts student that she was not involved in terrorist or antisemitic activities. So why did they do it?
What are the economic conditions really like under President Donald Trump? Join us for an in-depth discussion with Phillip Patrick, a seasoned economic expert, as we break down the key policies, market movements, and financial trends of the Trump administration. From job growth and GDP to inflation and trade, we cover it all.
As the House passed its budget resolution by a razor thin margin, all eyes are now on the Senate, which has promised to cut an additional $1.5 trillion before sending it back to the House for a final vote. Does anyone believe it? Also today, yet another Trump threat on Iran as a new poll shows the majority of Americans oppose Israel.
The Chinese government has vowed to not back down in the face of President Trump's ratcheting up of tariffs on a top US trading partner. With tariffs of 104 percent and 84 percent respectively, how far will this spat between the US and China go...and what can consumers expect? Also today, Netanyahu urges Trump to blow up all of Iran's nuclear facilities...it will be easy he claims.
President Trump casually mentioned that the U.S. will have its first TRILLION dollar military budget. This does not, in any sense, sound like a government looking to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We have been bankrupted (economically, and more importantly, morally) by a century of endless wars. The federal debt continues to rise, even with total Republican control. This is all bad news for our nation.
Americans voted for lower inflation and a peace president, yet just months into Trump 2.0 we are seeing a tariff plan that is rocking world markets and an expanding - but losing - war on Yemen with the Administration about an inch away from starting yet another war, this time with Iran. What happened?
America has massive problems, which can be summed up in two words -- overwhelming government. Despite some impressive exposures from DOGE, our chief problem is being exacerbated. Government spending is increasing, government debt is increasing, President Trump threatens new wars, and now we're in the midst of a trade war. The troops are not coming home, the 1,000 bases are not being closed, and the "foreign aid," is not being eliminated. In order to get rid of overwhelming government, all of these variables have to move in the opposite direction.
President Trump unveiled his new tariff policy yesterday, sending markets reeling. Meanwhile, it appears his administration is gearing up for a real war on Iran. Is the honeymoon over?

Voters in Wisconsin have agreed to a state constitutional amendment requiring a photo ID to cast a ballot, strengthening existing law. Also today, bipartisan team of Senators send letter to Trump on Yemen bombing.

President Trump has gutted the US government funded US Institute of Peace after a scuffle between staff members and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, making it more likely that the misnamed government funded "NGO" will follow USAID into the dustbin of history. Also today, a US judge has blocked Trump from firing CIA's DEI staff.
That didn't take long. A candidate elected to end current wars and avoid new ones, Donald Trump as president has significantly escalated the war on Yemen and is now threatening to attack Iran. He is also threatening Russia (again) with punitive tariffs. What is it about the White House that turns every resident into a warmonger?

Tariffs are very risky business. They're like playing with fire. We run into the same unsolvable problem that we have with The Fed. They don't know what interest rates should be. It's all arbitrary. In the same way, the president doesn't know what the price of cars, or lumber, or any other product should be. While the president is not literally price-fixing like the Fed, he is arbitrarily interfering with market prices and trade. Our inescapable problem in America is the overwhelming size of government, spending, debt and empire. All of these variables are still going in the wrong direction.
President Trump announced earlier in his second term that foreign students who engaged in illegal activity would be deported. Most people agreed with the policy. But then his Department of Homeland Security began showing up with masks on and in plainclothes to arrest and deport legal foreign students who broke no law but held views the Administration doesn't like. This is a slippery slope that will backfire on those who support it.
The US Intelligence Community’s 2003 assessment that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon was reaffirmed this week, even as the Trump Administration is moving military assets into the area. What gives? Also today: shut down NPR? Please!
In one of the most bizarre foul-ups (or was it?) of all time, Trump National Security Advisor Mike Waltz invited The Atlantic's editor-in-chief into a Signal discussion group (!) where the Admin's attack on Yemen was being planned. What if it was no leak at all and instead a "pro-war psy-op"? With secure communications equipment available to the Administration...why did they discuss apparently highly classified war-planning information on a commercial chat app? Will heads roll?
President Trump announced a 25 percent across-the-board tariff on any country that purchases oil from Venezuela - but who will really be paying for the additional cost? Also today, US/Russia talks begin again in Saudi Arabia. Will the US take control of Ukraine's power plants?
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang has ruled that Elon Musk's role as DOGE enforcer may be unconstitutional, ordering that he “shall not take any action, or engage in any work, relating to the shutdown of USAID.” Is the deep state pushing back? Also today, say it aint so, Tulsi. Finally: Sports diplomacy for the win.
President Trump hit the ground running - hard - after his inauguration in January. It seemed like at least half of the Federal Government was exposed as not only totally fake, but actually working against US interests. From USAID to the Department of Education, thousands of "employees" were let go. Then he fell into the siren song of all Presidents: he got sucked into the Imperial Presidency and began waving the sword. Can he get back on track?
As more evidence emerges that former President Biden did not actually sign most of the documents during his presidency - including his numerous "pardons" - the big question is what did the president NOT know and when did he NOT know it? Also today - is the "peace candidate" taking us to war with Iran?Get your tickets TODAY for the Ron Paul Institute Spring Conference: https://tinyurl.com/3t97tx8f

When the entirety of the Republican-led House voted last week to continue the Biden-Schumer-Johnson spending spree, one Member said "NO!" That Member is Thomas Massie of Kentucky. Slimed by Trump for standing up to principles, Massie joins today's Liberty Report to explain what it's like to be today's "Dr. No."
For at least 14 years the US and its Western allies have been actively engaged in overthrowing Syria's Bashar al-Assad. Opponents of the "regime change" plotters warned that Syria would become another Libya, rocked with murderous sectarian violence, if they succeeded. In December Assad was finally overthrown by a former senior al-Qaeda leader, as western governments cheered. Sectarian violence commenced. Thousands of religious and ethnic minorities have been slaughtered.

After a meeting between the US Secretary of State Rubio and National Security Advisor Waltz, a Ukraine currently getting trounced on the battlefield has agreed to a "ceasefire" with the party doing the trouncing, Russia.

Bold move...or foolish move?Get your tickets TODAY for the Ron Paul Institute Spring Conference: https://tinyurl.com/3t97tx8f
Here we go again. Congressman Massie refuses to support reckless government spending and increased debt. President Trump comes out to criticize Massie and says he should be primaried. Many will remember that we've been down this road before with the trillions in Covid spending (and subsequent inflation). Massie vehemently opposed the Covid spending, was criticized by President Trump, and was primaried. Massie was right and won the primary election. It's not a good look for President Trump to do this again.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing Republicans to pass yet another "continuing resolution" to keep funding government AT CURRENT LEVELS until September.

Toward the end of his presidency, Joe Biden (or whoever was running things) slapped draconian sanctions on the Russian-funded RT and related news outlets based on the false and widely disproved accusation that Russia interfered in US elections on Trump's behalf. Do American presidents have the authority to restrict what kind of news Americans can watch? Journalist Ben Swann joins today's Liberty Report to discuss.
President Trump is set to address a joint session of Congress tonight. Where will he focus? Where should he focus? Economy? Tariffs? Inflation? DOGE?
UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer presented his delusional program for Ukraine designed as a slap in the face of US efforts to end the war. In Starmer's "tough guy" plan, he would be ready to send "boots on the ground and planes in the air." One catch: only with strong US backing!

Back in early 2020 when Congress rushed to pass trillions in "emergency" COVID spending, US Rep. Thomas Massie warned that it would be the biggest wealth transfer from the middle class to the elites in history. As DOGE is finding out, Massie was absolutely right.

Weekly Update --- The Federal Reserve Killed the Penny. Is MAGA Next? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
It’s been said that “He who has the gold, makes the rules.” That never applied more to the United States than after WWII. At that time, Ft. Knox stored around 75% of the world’s gold, the U.S. was a manufacturing powerhouse, and was a creditor nation! But alas, the United States would go down the fateful road of war & empire. Today, manufacturing is gone, America waved goodbye to being a creditor nation and became the most indebted nation in history — and now President Trump needs to check if the gold is still there at Ft. Knox.
Trump Advisor Elon Musk has proposed that the American people should benefit from DOGE's savings, suggesting that US taxpayers be sent a $5K "refund" check. Will this work? Also today, Sen. Paul makes a critical point about how to preserve and expanding DOGE savings.
The DOGE government-cutting train has finally made its way to the Pentagon, promising to slash the bloated staff of America's "defense" HQ. Will they be successful?

Weekly Update --- Can We Really Cut Half of The Military Budget? You Bet! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, long-known for his attachment to Israel, was in the country over the weekend for a visit with Israeli PM Netanyahu. Perhaps buoyed by Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, Bibi decided to push one step further, announcing that the US and Israel need to "finish the job" against Iran. Will Trump's pledge of "no new wars" be able to withstand Bibi's demands? Also today...how much gold is in Fort Knox? One Senator wants to know.Get your tickets TODAY for the Ron Paul Institute Spring Conference: https://tinyurl.com/3t97tx8f
President Trump likes to keep everyone on their toes. He has repeatedly proven to say things that (in the end) were perhaps never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Sometimes the president's statements contain terrible ideas, like the U.S. owning Gaza. But at other times, his statements are pretty incredible, like the U.S. cutting military spending by 50% if Russia and China agree to do the same. Today on the Liberty Report, we cover the latter statement, which would be a huge positive for our nation, were it ever to come to pass.
And all of a sudden...the end began. President Trump holds a 90 minute phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, agreeing to soon hold a summit of the two leaders. Trump's read-out of the call makes it clear that his pro-Ukraine "Special Envoy" Kellogg is out of the picture. Is peace on the horizon? What will it take?

With Trump now confirming that he has spoken with Russian president Putin - the first talk between US and Russian heads of state since 2022 - what will be his strategy to fulfill his promise to end the war? Will he exert "maximum pressure" on both sides? Will he hand off the hot potato to the Europeans? Also today: Trump's new steel tariffs - good move?

Democratic politicians are furious, of course. But we hope, that when it’s all said and done, ALL politicians, Democrat AND Republican, are furious with DOGE. Then we will know that it was a job well done for the American people.
A look behind the curtain has revealed a horrific truth: Nearly the entire mainstream media - worldwide - has been funded by the US government under the USAID. From the BBC to the New York Times and Politico... At this point it might be easier to find out who USAID has NOT funded in the media sphere!Get your tickets for RPI's 2025 Spring Conference!

Sitting next to a beaming Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Trump announced that the US would be clearing all Palestinians off their land in Gaza, that US troops would move in, and that the US would rebuild it for Israelis to take over once finished. This is making America great again? Also today: the US government subsidized pro-Biden media to the tune of millions of dollars!Get your tickets for RPI's 2025 Spring Conference!

The New York Times has taken aim at President Trump's famous hatchet man, Elon Musk, for sending his teams through the institutions of the Executive Branch rooting out decades of mismanagement, financial abuse, and outright fraud.

President Trump made it clear during his presidential campaign that tariffs will be a part of his policy-making. He has followed through on that. Tariffs are risky. Yes, they can be used as a political tool, and can get results. But tariffs can also turn very bad, especially when egos are revved up. American history is littered with the use of tariffs going very bad. President Trump, and the American people, should always keep this in mind.
As a presidential candidate, Donald Trump promised to end the Russia/Ukraine war on day one. Then, as President, we were told that he had given his special envoy Keith Kellogg 100 days to wind the war down. Former State Department and US Senate official Jim Jatras joins today's Liberty Report to discuss where Trump is getting it wrong...and how to fix it. Also today: Tulsi exposes one of the greatest national security scandals of all time.
Tulsi Gabbard's Senate confirmation hearing today gets off with a BANG as the former US Congresswoman from Hawaii rapid-fires past abuses and failures of the US intelligence community. Why is her confirmation so important? Also today: the true damage done by USAID is made clear as that aid is suspended.
The first week of President Trump's second term has been a whirlwind - a marked contrast of when he first took office in 2017. What has he achieved? Is there more than hype and spin? Are expectations too high? Can he fulfill his promises?
According to President Trump, Bill Gates' Microsoft is very interested in buying the social media App TikTok. But as TikTok's owners do not want to sell, will this be a mafia deal where either their signature or their brains will be on the contract? And...how is Bill Gates owning TikTok any better than its current owners? Also today, Matt Taibbi joined Tucker Carlson recently to discuss the need for even more transparency on how the government colluded with companies to maintain silence over COVID's origins.
Weekly Update --- To Make America Great Again, Separate Money and State by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Newly-confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio is facing his first real foreign policy challenge: how to get his own Department to obey President Trump's 90-day halt on foreign development assistance. Will he be able to stand up to "the resistance" in his own shop? Also today, Trump's shocking position on displaced Palestinians.
Analyst Phillip Patrick, from the Birch Gold Group, joins us to discuss President Trump's flurry of executive orders.
President Trump has doubled down on his desire to end the federal Department of Education and return the task of education to the states. Republicans have long talked a good game but to date there has been very little action. Will Americans finally get a "win" on this issue? Also today, Trump names new top Middle East policy pick for the Pentagon...and he's very promising!
President Trump 2.0 hit the ground running, granting mass pardons to J6ers and others and issuing a mass number of executive orders. He has also overturned massive amounts of bad previous Executive Orders. Here are some of the highlights we need to focus on...
As he was literally exiting the Oval Office for the last time, former President Joe "No one is above the law" Biden has issued dozens of preemptive pardons to people from Fauci to Milley to the J6 Committee. But there is a catch... Also today, a new New York Times poll demonstrates strong support for ending conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
RPI's Daniel McAdams and Chris Rossini separate the news from the propaganda in this discussion of the REAL news of the week.
Will The J6 prisoners be freed? Will they be tossed into the street? Today in an extraordinary Liberty Report, businessman and philanthropist - and Ron Paul Institute Board Member - Gary Heavin will let us in on a massive effort underway to make sure that any January 6th protesters pardoned by incoming President Trump are not simply dropped into the street with no food, clothing, or shelter. Across the country - in nearly every state - Americans are mobilizing to help the wrongly detained American political prisoners arrested after January 6th, 2021.You can help the efforts by visiting: https://www.givesendgo.com/FREEDOMSAMBASSADOR
Sen. Marco Rubio is a shoo-in for Secretary of State in the coming Trump Administration, but will the long-time neocon interventionist last long in an administration elected to pursue a new kind of foreign policy? Politico writes today that he may have a very short run at Foggy Bottom. Also today: Why is Trump's Ukraine envoy accepting highly paid speaking gigs from a Marxist-terrorist cult?
Incoming President Trump's National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, has signaled that Ukraine must start recruiting even younger men into the meat grinder. After the loss of an estimated 600,000 men, Waltz is calling for even more killing, even as it is becoming obvious to even the mainstream media that Russia is winning the war. Is Waltz speaking for Trump? Also today: troops on the border? Will it work?
President Biden will deliver his final foreign policy speech today at the State Department, where it is anticipated he will claim that his foreign policy has left the US in a better position in the world than when he took office four years ago. Is he right? Also today: a new poll suggests that a full half of the executive branch bureaucracy plans to "resist" the policies of the incoming Trump Administration.

President-elect Trump caused many Americans to wince and scratch their heads this week. Trump succeeded in getting so many Americans to go out and overwhelmingly vote for “America First” and to focus on handling our country’s overwhelming problems. But over the last week, ideas that were not presented during the campaign have been floated: “North America” First and the additions of Canada and Greenland to the United States. Where did this come from?
The utter incompetence of the political class is on display as Los Angeles and California leadership watch the area burn to the ground. And the fire hydrants have no water in them. But...there's still money for Ukraine! Also today, Trump gets it right on the Russia/Ukraine war.
Politico has published an article accusing the billionaire businessman Elon Musk of "meddling" in foreign politics by expressing his opinion on foreign leaders. Is "meddling" just the new "disinformation" - i.e. people saying or doing things the elite does not like?
Citing fears of "climate change," outgoing president Joe Biden has pre-empted incoming President Trump's stated goal of increasing oil and gas production to help solve our economic problems. Should a lame duck president be able to tie a newly-elected president's hands? Also today, Facebook claims to abandon its "fact checker" scam. Should we believe them?
For four years the mainstream media and the Democratic Party (along with some Republicans) have pushed the narrative that on Jan. 6th, 2021, a coup d'etat was attempted against "our democracy." The narrative has empowered the state to jail scores of Americans without charge, to crack down on speech, and to demonize Americans who do not step in line. But what if it's all fake? Also today: foreign money drives DC policy through think tanks.
Weekly Update --- D.O.G.E.: End The Global Engagement Center! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
As the emotions of last year’s election fade away, homeostasis is kicking in. The pull of the status quo gets stronger with each passing day. The results of the election were crystal clear. American voters want “America First.” But American voters are in perpetual competition with donors that want “American Empire First” and “American Megastate First." The two are not the same. They are mutually exclusive. It must be one or the other.

It’s not a good look when Republicans and Democrats “negotiate” together and present an unreadable 1,500 page bill. It’s also not a good look for a follow-up Republican bill that seeks to raise the debt ceiling again for two years. We’re going bankrupt thanks to $36 trillion in debt. The American people voted to go in the other direction. Why doesn’t Washington ever get it?
After promising there would be no Christmas Continuing Resolution...Speaker Johnson put out...a Christmas Continuing Resolution. It was jammed with so much pork that he faced a GOP revolt in the House and a D.O.G.E revolt from Elon and Vivek. What's next? Also today, New House-introduced "D.O.G.E." Bill is unimpressive. We'll tell you why.
If it's Christmas, then it's another massive, bloated "Continuing Resolution" keeping the US government open for a few more months.

"How do you End The Fed?” is a common question. Since the government created the Fed by signing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 (yes, The Fed is a government-created monopoly) then the simple answer is for Congress to repeal that Act. But alas, it is not so simple in practice. The Fed has been our albatross for over 100 years and it has entrenched itself into our economic lives. Steps can definitely be taken, however, to free ourselves from this immoral and unconstitutional monopoly. Over time, as has happened with Americans freeing themselves from the mainstream media, it can be done.
Despite the positive election results on Nov. 5, we must not forget that economically America is a sinking ship. Over the last several weeks, President-elect Trump has made public some proposals that are clearly designed to bring business back to America. For decades, our overbearing government has chased big business away, and has made it very difficult for small business to survive. This cannot be fixed without a drastic decrease in regulations and government spending. It will not be fixed if the Trump Administration attempts to save the military empire. Trying to preserve the empire will just shuffle the deck chairs on our sinking ship. America First has to really be America First. It can be done.

Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is the most sweeping Presidential pardon since Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. It represents the deep corruption and contempt for the rule of law that has characterized the Biden presidency. But it is also important for another reason: the pardon is an attempt to erase the Biden family involvement with Ukraine from the time of the 2014 coup through the millions that passed into family accounts. Our current state of near WWIII is directly tied to the Biden family seeking personal riches in Ukraine.
Sen. Lindsey Graham let the cat out of the bag: the war in Ukraine is a resource war where the US and its corporate elite are determined to snatch the trillions below and above ground in Ukraine before neighboring Russia takes over. Over a million have died or been injured in the war according to recent estimates, but that is not enough for Graham. Also today - Walmart de-wokifies itself.

According to a recent New York Times Report, the Biden Administration has discussed the idea of handing nuclear weapons over to Ukraine as it prepares to leave office. And France and the UK are discussing sending TROOPS into Ukraine! Do they really want WWIII? Also today...will Elon buy MSNBC?
We have a recurring problem that has led America to dire straits. Government creates a problem, and the purported “solution" multiplies more and bigger problems. Reactions to emergencies have consistently destroyed our freedoms. The reaction to 9/11 is a prime example, and the most recent Covid “policies” are another. And now we face yet another government-created problem — illegal immigration. Wouldn’t you know, some are actually clamoring for a “solution” to put U.S. troops in the streets of America! Talk about setting an extremely dangerous precedent that could easily be used against us someday. But this is how government takes away liberty; one emergency at a time. Deporting illegals is legal. But putting troops in America’s streets is not!
Early reports (now disputed) that Russia responded to UK Storm Shadow attacks on Russian territory with the battle launch of an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) for the first time in history continues to race the world toward nuclear war. In the waning days of the Biden presidency, how far will the warmongers go? Also today, Netanyahu and Gallant may need to adjust their travel plans after an ICC indictment.
The damage done by endless wars and astronomical government spending may be at the point where economic catastrophe is unavoidable. However, life is far too complex, with far too many variables and unknowns to say for sure. With that being the case, there are certainly steps that the incoming Trump Administration can take to reverse course. The resistance to what is necessary will certainly be intense. But the immense damage can (at least) be repaired.
Weekly Update --- If Trump Didn’t Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians…He Should! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Just a day after lame-duck US President Joe Biden announced a radical escalation in its Ukraine war policy - allowing Ukraine to use US weapons to strike deep inside Russia - the first of the ATACMS missiles were fired. Russia's modified nuclear doctrine provides for the use of WMDs if the Russian state is attacked even with non-nuclear weapons. Will we survive the Biden presidency? Also today, the knives are out for Trump's Attorney General pick, Matt Gaetz.
If the Wall Street Journal is to be believed, President Biden (or whoever is running his foreign policy) has, in the waning moments of his presidency, agreed finally to allow Ukraine to strike deep in Russian territory with US ATACMS missiles. Putin has warned that such a move could spark WWIII. Is Biden trying to "Trump-proof" his proxy war? Also today, the Pentagon fails its audit...again.
The much anticipated Cabinet appointment of RFK Jr. to the HHS has finally come to fruition.

With reported Trump appointments of neocons Elise Stefanik (UN Ambassador), Mike Waltz (National Security Advisor), and...Marco Rubio (Secretary of State), many who hoped that Trump 2.0 would be different than Trump 1.0 are feeling dejected and betrayed. Is there any hope left? Also today: Iran strongly denied any plan to assassinate Trump - who's lying?

This week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was asked if he would step down if President Trump asked him to resign. Powell answered “No.” The law does not permit the president to fire the Fed chairman. Powell didn’t mention, however, that The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional to begin with. No power was ever granted to the federal government to create a monopoly bank that manipulates interest rates and counterfeits money. So the big issue is not who has more authority over the other; the president or the Fed chairman. The issue is that the Federal Reserve should not exist at all!
Despite the good foreign policy instincts apparent in President-elect Trump and his incoming VP JD Vance, there is a real danger that his appointments may have other ideas. Can he successfully navigate DC's dangerous waters? Also today...who keeps sending B-52s to the Middle East?
With the 2024 election in the bag, there is no shortage of surprises. Including the surprising campaign appearance of anti-Fed, anti-spending, and even anti-neocon sentiment. And record viewership of the Liberty Report. Also today...Politico warns of Trump seeking "revenge"...but is it really revenge or justice?
As it appears slightly more likely that Donald Trump will secure a second term as US President, the danger of neocons yet again infesting his cabinet and Administration is steadily increasing. Trump told Rogan what a mistake it was to hire John Bolton last time around...but is he in danger of making an even worse mistake with Mike Pompeo? And the other neocons champing at the bit to return to power?
Amid the madness and superficiality of US presidential campaign politics, suddenly there is serious talk about the Federal Reserve and...cutting government spending! Ron Paul's social media blew up over the weekend after Elon Musk invited him to team up, grab a machete, and start slashing two trillion dollars from the budget. Will the enthusiasm hold? Is it suddenly "cool" to talk about monetary policy, out-of-control spending...and the Fed?
Weekly Update --- With JD Vance and Elon Musk, Suddenly Ideas Are Back in this Campaign by Ron Paul Liberty Report
This week, JD Vance addressed the unjust and arbitrary nature of the Federal Reserve. Also this week, Elon Musk, in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd, mentioned cutting $2 Trillion from the federal government’s budget. The two topics are very much intertwined. After all, it is the Fed that enables the government to grow into the Leviathan that it is today. Members of Trump’s team are very much on the right track.

Hillary Clinton became the latest big-name Democrat to outright demand that the government crack down on speech, telling CNN that if they don't get a handle on Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok and others they will "lose total control." But should they have total control? Also today: As Russia moves closer to capturing a major fortified strategic town, the US and EU keep pushing Ukraine to continue a bloody and losing battle.
It was a short strike, but it gave Americans a taste of what restraint of trade looks like, and how consumers and businesses respond to it. This should be kept in mind if Trump’s imposes tariffs. Tariffs are a tax on Americans (not China, or anyone else). Tariffs also restrain trade and drive up prices, while handing more of our earnings to DC. Don’t they take enough from us?
Homeland Security Director Mayorkis admitted that after spending hundreds of millions helping illegal migrants, FEMA has no money left to help American hurricane victims. That on top of recent billions the Biden Regime has sent overseas to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Also today: Biden disturbed that Netanyahu refuses to listen to him.
AskRonPaul: Fighting Recession, Protecting the Constitution, Social Security, and Income Tax by Ron Paul Liberty Report
When an American makes the noble decision to join the armed forces, he or she usually does so under the belief of defending America. But alas, a century of endless (and many failed) wars have shown that their lives are needlessly put into grave danger in the defense of foreign nations! The lives of American soldiers are extremely valuable. They are not mercenaries or “rent-a-troops.” All American soldiers should be brought home to defend America only. And yet, they are still being recklessly deployed to no benefit of our nation.
Fed’s Rate Cut Helps Candidate Harris but Will Hurt President Harris (or Trump) by Ron Paul Liberty Report
For over 100 years, the U.S. government ‘tolerated’ freedom of speech because they virtually controlled the information that Americans received. Whether it be from the government-controlled schools, or from watching one of the handful of ‘licensed’ TV stations, all Americans consumed the same pre-packaged “narratives.” There was no threat to the government from Americans speaking freely, as long as the “narratives” were controlled. But that monopoly has been shattered with the Internet. Americans now choose their sources of information, and while lies will always exist, the American people actually have fighting chance to hear the truth for once! Under these circumstances, government is finding freedom of speech intolerable for their agendas.
Another $8 Billion to Ukraine. The very next day, another $8.7 billion to Israel. Sadly, the U.S. taxpayer is not even an afterthought in all of this. While American society descends further and further into economic and moral calamity, those who work hard are forced to watch their earnings literally go up in smoke. Working for a living has been replaced with working for a bankrupt empire.
As the body count in Gaza and Lebanon continues to rise, a new public opinion poll has found that a mere 24 percent of Americans surveyed support the continuation of unconditional military and other aid to Israel. Is the tide turning? Also today, more western schemes to rob Russia to fund Ukraine. Finally...you won't believe why the US sanctioned this former Georgian prime minister.
Ukrainian president Zelensky is in the US to present his "Victory Plan" to end the nearly three year proxy war with Russia. As key towns in eastern Ukraine fall, his plan is...more of the same, but faster and harder. Including immediate NATO membership with Article 5 guarantees! Also today: Is Iran targeting Trump? You won't believe who's trying to sell this narrative!
The US Pentagon announced that troops from the 101st Airborne Division would be deployed to the Middle East as Israel's bombardment of Lebanon expands. Meanwhile the White House is asking Israel to not use any of our bombs to kill American troops assisting with the Lebanon evacuation.

Lebanon's Hezbollah militia is firing back as Israel warns of an imminent ground invasion. Will "wartime" Vice President Harris gain in the polls? Also today...Republicans cave yet again on the latest budget "deal."
Donald Trump calls Kamala Harris a Marxist and (rightfully) warns against price fixing. But we already have a Marxist-style monopoly central bank that price fixes. The Federal Reserve consists of a handful of individuals that get together like the Soviet Politburo and announce the arbitrary fixing of interest rates. As Americans suffer from years of the inflation inferno, The Fed Politburo decided this week to pour gasoline on the fire. More inflation is on the way!
In a week that saw Israel launch a bizarre terror attack against Lebanon using weaponized pagers, it now looks as if Israel is going all out to start a war with its northern neighbor. Authorization was granted yesterday to open a northern front and there has been a large uptick in military activity. Will a major regional war break out just weeks before the US election? Also today...some Republican governors are taking a strong stand against the WHO...but where were they during Covid?
Former presidential candidate and "Russiagate" hoax author Hillary Clinton inadvertently called for her own arrest and imprisonment this week, when she demanded that anyone spreading "misinformation" and "propaganda" be sent to jail. Also in today's program: A new report from Microsoft claims that "Russian troll farms" are interfering in our elections. Do you believe them after the last time turned out to be a lie?
Although Meta director Mark Zuckerberg promised just a month ago that his companies would "push back" against US government pressure to censor, just a week after the Biden Administration leveled unsubstantiated claims against Russia-funded RT, he raced to kick the news outlet off of all Meta platforms. Also today: RFK, Jr. teams up with Donald Trump, Jr. to plead for de-escalation in Ukraine war.
Weekly Update --- Homeschooling Is Still Gaining Popularity...Thanks To Woke 'Educators' by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The shocking second attempted assassination of former president Trump in just two months may be the strangest of all. A radicalized, fanatical pro-Ukraine lone wolf, being fed a steady diet of propaganda by the mainstream media? Or something darker and more sinister? How was he able to fly under the radar of US intelligence? Or was he?
The parallels between the fall of the Roman Empire and the current state of the American Empire are many — overextended military, crushing debt, endless wars, debased money, a cornucopia of corruption, delusions of grandeur, bread & circuses, and a downward spiral in morality. Today on the Liberty Report we discuss another parallel with Rome, the invasions of the “barbarians.” Also, on the upside, after the fall of Rome, there was a great decentralization. With the centralized boot of empire removed from the necks of the people, society could breathe again.
Fearing another "attack on our democracy worse than the Civil War," the Biden/Harris Administration announced that the Department of Homeland Security would treat the certification of the November presidential election vote as a “national special security event.” Meanwhile...the Administration continues to quietly keep dropping charges against those held in the "original" Jan. 6th "insurrection." Also today: while Washington freaks out over "Russian malign influence" in the US media, Congress passes a bill to fund US malign influence in the Chinese media! It's OK when we do it.Please keep the Liberty Report alive with a tax-deductible contribution to the Ron Paul Institute: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/
The pundits claim that Trump was slaughtered at the debate last night by a Kamala Harris who greatly defied expectations. Is it true? Also today...the 23rd anniversary of 9/11 - is it still important?
Former US Foreign Service Officer and Senior Senate Policy Advisor Jim Jatras joins today's Liberty Report to preview tonight's presidential debate and take a look at what may be the final stages of the disastrous Ukraine war.
It should be no surprise that the war party will go to whatever host it anticipates will provide the most blood to feed its cravings. Former VP Dick Cheney - wrongly viewed as an arch-conservative - has endorsed Kamala Harris for president. Will Trump send him a thank you note? Also today: Are they trying to lower expectations for tomorrow night's presidential debate?
Former President Trump announced that he will create a government efficiency commission led by Elon Musk. Let’s not forget that “government efficiency” is an oxymoron. Government can't rationally economize, like the rest of us. Its decisions are made politically, and not by profits and losses. We don’t voluntarily give our money to the government. It takes our money by force. So while government can never be “efficient," it can be, and should be, a lot smaller and less of a burden on us.
Weekly Update --- Trump And Harris Ignore A Great Danger Facing America by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Here we go again. For the third straight election in a row, Russia is being accused of interfering in “our democracy.” Many will remember that the last time around, more than 50 former intelligence officials signed a letter denouncing the Hunter Biden laptop as "Russian disinformation.” It wasn’t, and even Big Tech censored the story. Yet here we are with Russia! Russia! Russia! once again.
American politicians have adopted, and continue to dream up, some of the dumbest economic ideas. Our major economic issue is “corporatism,” where crony corporations have the concealed ability to wield state power. To the naked eye, Americans believe that government agencies provide a check against big corporations, right? Wrong! Only the free market prohibits corporations from wielding state power. Naturally, big corporations hate the free market, and they want American citizens to hate the free market too.
We live in the greatest government bubble in the history of the world. The U.S. federal government intervenes everywhere, and ruins everything that it touches. Its interventions aren't restricted to the geographical United States, but are worldwide! The engine of this great catastrophe is The Federal Reserve System. Without The Fed, none of this would have been possible.
Liberty Report Classic - Against The Left Authoritarians -- With Lew Rockwell by Ron Paul Liberty Report
In this episode of #AskRonPaul, we dive deep into the hot-button issue of border security and its ties to the military-industrial complex. Are we really protecting our borders, or is it just another excuse for more government spending? Join us as we uncover the truth behind the skyrocketing costs and the political motives driving these decisions. Don’t miss this critical analysis!
There used to be something called “The American Dream.” Words like “independence,” “sovereignty,” and “limited government,” were extremely important to the American citizen. Today, all of these have been flipped upside down. "The American Nightmare" can accurately describe modern times. This nightmare is composed of “dependence,” “hegemony,” and a U.S. federal government that is the biggest and most indebted government in the history of the world!Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237
In this special episode we analyze the economy, with chief economist Phillip Patrick from The Birch Gold Group.
The shocking arrest of popular social media messaging site Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France is a huge blow to free speech across the globe. Durov perhaps thought by escaping Russia to the "free" west he would not face authoritarian pressure. He was wrong. Also today...RFK's speech hit neocons hard. Will they strike back?
Are “we” really the government, as the champions of democracy like to say? If your business was unnecessarily locked down, and closed as a result, did you do that to yourself? When government officials repeatedly lie to you, are you simply lying to yourself? The “land of the free” has the largest and most indebted government in all of human history? Did “we" really do this to ourselves, while calling it “freedom?” Or was it rather done to us, under the guise of “freedom and democracy?"
Speculation is building that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. intends to drop out of the race on Friday and endorse Donald Trump for president. Speculation is likewise building that Trump may agree to award Kennedy a cabinet position should there be a second Trump Administration. RFK has extensively catalogued the dirty tricks the Democratic Party has deployed to undermine his campaign...so will a Trump endorsement give him the last laugh? Also today, the New York Times is reporting that the Biden/Harris Administration is siccing the "Justice" Department on dissident American journalists who write for Russian outlets. So much for the First Amendment!Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237

Pumped full of his special sauce, Joe Biden watched the sun go down on his presidency as he spoke to a Democratic National Convention, at midnight, in the absence of the Party's top leaders. As could be expected, the speech itself was a train wreck, punctuating the long-held Democratic Party lie that he was "sharp as a tack" and "just fine." Also today: Are Kamala's polling numbers yet another lying psy-op? Finally: On the same day Biden praised Ukraine as "still free," the country's parliament voted to outlaw its largest church. Free?
Weekly Update --- Donald Trump Does Not Know The 'Correct' Interest Rate by Ron Paul Liberty Report
In an apt metaphor for Republican helplessness in the face of the Democratic Party coup that put Kamala on top of the ticket without a single vote, House Republicans finally released their report today finding that Biden committed impeachable offenses. And no one cares. Because Biden's been disappeared, replaced by a Kamala Harris bathed by the media to appear as newly-fallen snow. Will it work? Finally...Zelensky did Nordstream? That's what the WSJ claims.
Politicians very rarely blame their own policies for the suffering that they create. They usually double-and-triple-down on their bad policies. When that doesn’t work, they create an entirely new policy to combat the bad effects of the older one. Government “price controls” have a never-ending failure rate throughout economic history. They create shortages! But when politicians are faced with the choice of either blaming themselves, or creating shortages…they usually opt to create shortages.
As Kamala Harris rolls out her economic program of price controls, today, August 15th, serves as a reminder as to just why inflation and prices are REALLY out of hand! Also today...A military parade on OUR biggest base in Afghanistan with OUR equipment?
Are we to believe that the recent Ukrainian incursion into pre-1914 Russia completely caught NATO countries by surprise? That they happened to take advantage of weak points in Russian defenses without NATO intel support? NATO weapons - including German tanks - are killing Russians inside Russia. Red line?

President Biden took a restful weekend sleeping on the beach while his Defense Secretary announced a massive mobilization of military assets in anticipation of a major Iran-Israel war. Who is in charge? Who is giving orders? Why is Congress out of the picture?
Former President Trump had a few scathing words for The Federal Reserve, suggesting that The President should at least have a say in setting interest rates. While it’s understandable that the president would desire such a thing, it’s absolutely not a solution to our corrupt and unconstitutional monetary system. It would certainly make our economic problems much worse, depending on who the president happens to be. The problem that we face is not a matter of who does the price fixing, but that anyone does it at all. No one should fix prices or counterfeit money! That’s the argument that former President Trump should be making against The Fed.
Democratic Party VP nominee Tim Walz is being sold to American voters as "'the coach" - an everyday guy who wears camo hats and flannel. Republicans are attacking him as embellishing his military record. Who is the real Tim Walz? Also today: re-Tweet in the UK...go to jail! Finally, Scott Ritter has powerful enemies...and they are coming at him.Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237
A new poll released yesterday by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs shows that a solid majority of Americans oppose using US troops to defend Israel - the lowest level of support for defending Israel since the poll began in 2010. Meanwhile both political parties insist the US will defend Israel if Iran retaliates. Also today, US sends troops BACK into parts of Iraq!
Some have likened Kamala's VP choice, Tim Walz, to a return to the days of Walter Mondale. Indeed there is a Mondale-like quality to him. But will Walz strike a chord in a midwest that appears to be turning more red? Also today...you can't make this up: Israel is considering pre-empting the expected Iranian retaliation for a previous strike...with another strike!

Those who run the never-ending wars over the last 100 years know how to keep American politicians and the American people always wanting more. They know the words to use, the emotions to tap into, and the timeless “art” of getting both sides of the political spectrum to support the propaganda. Both Left and Right ceaselessly call for censorship and war, as if it were a tag-team effort. Yet if you speak to the average American one-on-one, they will most likely tell you that they are sick of the endless wars. They have bankrupted our nation! Then why do propagandists keep prevailing?
We're back with another edition of "Ask Ron Paul," where Dr. Paul takes viewer questions.
While President Biden continues to be out of the picture, his Administration just pledged full support to Israel after its shocking attack on both Tehran and Beirut in the past 24 hours. Will the feckless Administration allow the US to be dragged into war in the region? Also today, acting Secret Service head who denied additional resources to Trump now tells Congress he's ready to "reform" the Secret Service.
After innumerable US-backed coup attempts in Venezuela - including the almost comical Juan Guaido fiasco - one might think Americans would become skeptical when the old "stolen election" and "regime change" narrative is rolled out again. But as inn Hollywood, when you have a successful story you keep rolling out sequels. Does it matter who runs Venezuela? Only if you are in oil or minerals...or the regime change business.

The long-awaited Israeli expansion of its war on Gaza and Syria to include Lebanon may begin as early as tonight, sources are suggesting.

Do you see the narrative shifting? We seamlessly went from years of covid tyranny to the Ukraine war. And now that the Ukraine war has been lost (with American taxpayers losing hundreds of billions of dollars) the narrative is shifting again; this time to Iran. This is how the U.S. has been bankrupted by endless war(s) for 100+ years. The senses of the American people are relentlessly bombarded, from every angle, in order to be enthusiastically led into the next major disaster.
Former Ron Paul chief of staff Jeff Deist joins today's Liberty Report to break down Biden's bizarre TV appearance last night to explain why he's dropping out of the 2024 race. Does it add up? How much of a threat is Kamala to Trump? What does Trump need to do to win?
The US Secret Service has presented a novel solution to former President Trump after the recent assassination attempt: stop holding large outdoor rallies. Does limiting Trump's ability to reach potential voters seem like a good solution? Or maybe should the Secret Service do its job better? Also today: Is the Secret Service Cheatle era the high-water mark for DEI? Finally...Bibi is in town!!!
The "Alternative for Germany" (AfD) party shocked Europe recently, scoring big wins in the recent EU Parliamentary elections. Brussels is terrified of the supposed "far right" gaining more power in Europe. But is AfD really "far right"?

Weekly Update -- Republican Platform Ignores Real Causes Of Inflation by Ron Paul Liberty Report
No press conference? No photo-op? Not even White House Stationery? We are expected to believe President Biden announced his sudden withdrawal as the Democratic Party candidate for president...on Twitter/X? Do you believe it? Who's really running things here?
"Unity” is complementary to limited government, not interventionist government and empire. An interventionist government perpetually creates victims, and no one wants to be a victim. Politicians often use the word “unity” to blunt opposition to their interventions. Wars are easier to wage when there’s “unity,” instead of mass protests. America’s biggest divisions are caused by a government that believes, and acts, as if it has no limits.Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237Apply for the Ron Paul Scholars Seminar:https://ronpaulinstitute.org/apply-now-rpi-2024-ron-paul-scholars-seminar/
How Political News Impacts Markets: Economist Phillip Patrick on Gold and the Economy by Ron Paul Liberty Report
And...there goes hope of a more sane foreign policy, as Trump's VP pick JD Vance comes out swinging with the "brilliant" idea of REALLY attacking Iran, not just those "little bombing runs." What Vance doesn't understand is that this is not the world as it was ten years ago. A war on Iran could well bring in China and Russia, and at the least would mark a massive Middle East escalation where a good deal of the fallout would affect the Israel that he claims to so strongly support.Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237Apply for the Ron Paul Scholars Seminar:https://ronpaulinstitute.org/apply-now-rpi-2024-ron-paul-scholars-seminar/

Former President Trump shocked and surprised both supporters and opponents with his decision to name US Senator JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate.

Suddenly that segment of the country that depends on the mainstream media for its news has made a horrific discovery: They've been lied to again. Biden really is...that bad. Now that same elite media is desperately struggling to put the toothpaste back in the tube. What's next for the presidential campaign? Also today, our four takeaways from the debate.
Are you going to watch the debate tonight? It's billed as the battle of the ages, but with all the rules and biases built in, how much actual drama can we expect? Will anyone change their minds? Also today: How did the Left and Right both get the Supremes so wrong on Murthy v. Missouri?
A new article in Politico reports that senior Biden Administration officials have warned Lebanon that if Hezbollah retaliates to any Israeli attack in Lebanon, the US will become involved. Thus the Biden Administration commits the US to a possible major war in the Middle East while Congress blissfully sleeps. Also today: House GOP moves to negate legitimacy of Jan. 6 Committee and thus spare Steve Bannon from jail.
There is a new antiwar coalition building outside the uniparty doupoly, with rebels in the US House on "Left" and "Right" joining together to oppose US hyper-interventionism and lurching toward World War III. Former US Congressman, current candidate, and lifetime peace activist (and RPI Board Member) Dennis Kucinich joins today's Liberty Report to discuss.
US-supplied cluster bombs were used on beachgoers in Crimea yesterday, killing at least six and injuring more than 100. Moscow has warned that "such actions will not go unanswered." Is this a NATO attempt to provoke a Russian reaction to justify further involvement? Next moves?
Fortunately, for the sake of our remaining freedom, the idea and implementation of “vaccine passports” failed miserably. The desires of our corporatist and special-interest run government was laid bare for all of us to see. We American citizens should never rest on our laurels though. The “war on cash” is another angle for achieving the same goals. Like “vaccine passports,” a totally digital and government-controlled cashless “system,” will also end up going down in flames.
As the Israeli operation in Gaza continues to miss achieving its goals of eliminating Hamas, in-fighting inside the government is heating up. Recently an IDF spokesman said it was "unachievable" to defeat Hamas, as the IDF rushed to "clarify" his statement. Meanwhile Netanyahu BLASTED the US in a new video complaining that weapons were being withheld. Also today: US envoy assures Lebanon that US will back Israel in any war on its territory.
Ireland's Ryanair CEO has blasted as "fake" the refugees pouring into Ireland on his airline. They're coming from the UK and France - they are not economic refugees.

Faced with broad outrage after a US government-linked Ukrainian NGO published an "enemies list" containing the names of several Members and Senators, the US House GOP moved yesterday to ban any further funding to the NGO.

Weekly Update --- Anti-Liberty Conservatives Want More Theft by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The USAID and State Department-affiliated Ukrainian NGO "TEXTY" has just released an "enemies list" of hundreds of prominent Americans, including Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Donald Trump, the Ron Paul Institute, Tucker Carlson, and many more. Should Americans be forced to pay money to fund foreign NGOs that threaten American citizens? Also today: The US military participated in a deadly Gaza raid that killed nearly 300 civilians. Finally: Rep. Thomas Massie spills the beans on AIPAC's influence on the Hill.
When Americans look outward, they don't see foreign military bases circling the nation. No occupying troops. No one is sending missiles to Mexico or Canada that can be fired into U.S. territory. And yet, America’s foreign policy is the exact opposite. Endless wars with 800+ military bases peppered all over the world, surrounding major nuclear powers like Russia and China. The U.S. sends Ukraine weapons to be fired into Russian territory! Pushed too far, Russia is now sending warships and an unarmed nuclear submarine to Cuba. Why is our government unnecessarily putting our lives into grave danger?

Finally: Here's a real military "recruitment" speech!
As Russia continues to advance in eastern Ukraine, NATO continues to escalate toward direct conflict. F-16 trainers from Greece arrive in Kiev, Netherlands and Denmark green-light Ukraine F-16 attacks deep inside Russia. No one is asking the central question: Why? Is Ukraine worth WWIII?

The New Gold Standard is coming, as told by famous economist Steve Forbes...Tune in to this Episode with Ron Paul and Special Guest Phillip Patrick from Birch Gold as they discuss the future of gold and the economy.
The U.S. has developed a very bad habit of getting into wars it shouldn’t get into; wars that having nothing whatsoever to do with defending the United States. But then, to add insult to injury, the bad habit is exacerbated when the government doubles-down, and triples-down, on the failure of the war. Wars that shouldn’t not have taken place are stung along for decades! This, more than any other foolish government policy, has led our country into dire straits.
“Our Democracy” has reached a point where both sides in the upcoming presidential election are claiming that freedom will end if the other side wins. If that were really true, it certainly makes clear that "our democracy" has some serious problems. But where did all this “our democracy” stuff come from anyway. The word “democracy” is nowhere to be found in the Declaration Of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, or U.S. Constitution. Democracy has existed for thousands of years. Why did America’s Founders explicitly keep it out of our founding documents?
Weekly Update --- Biden's Tariffs Are Another Nail In The Dollar's Coffin by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Escalation in Ukraine continues, as a desperate Europe holding a losing hand turns toward drafting its youth to fight WWIII with Russia. Will sanity prevail? Also today, "Trump-proofing" military aid to Ukraine is hitting some European roadblocks.
The U.S. government has been able to expand way beyond its means for over century. In one of history’s greatest ironies, the government in the “land of the free,” turned itself into the biggest government in the history of the world. This was largely possible because other nations have used the U.S. dollar (often reluctantly) as a reserve currency. That reluctance has turned to outright rejection. De-dollarization has become a significant trend against the globe-trotting U.S. government.
Disappointment with Speaker Johnson continues, as yesterday he joined the neocon GOP push to green-light Ukraine to hit deep inside Russia with US-provided missiles. Meanwhile Russia has begun an exercise with its tactical nuclear weapons forces. What could go wrong?

Two Republican US Representatives have submitted a bill that would extend the same benefits provided to US military servicemembers and veterans to American citizens who choose to serve in the Israeli military. This at a time when US vets find themselves out in the cold when it comes to getting the care and benefits they were promised. Also today: F-35 fighters are stacking up at Lockheed factories as the Pentagon says "no, thank you" to purchasing them. Also today, Bill Maher defends Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
The London High Court has ruled today the Julian Assange may appeal his extradition to the US to face espionage charges based on the question of whether he would be granted First Amendment rights regardless of nationality. Is the US case beginning to crack? Also today, former CDC head admits vaccine injuries, says his colleagues must face reality. Finally: senior Israeli and Hamas leadership faces arrest warrants from the International Criminal Court.
One of the greatest ironies in America, of all places, is that politicians have the citizens cheering on the raising of taxes on themselves. How so? Well, whenever the government spends money it doesn’t have, that the Federal Reserve counterfeits into existence, that’s a tax. It’s called inflation! The tax is paid by higher prices for the things we buy. When you go to the supermarket, remember the $6 Trillion "Covid Relief.” We’re still paying for that “relief.” When government “slaps tariffs” on another country, that’s a tax on the American consumers! Americans have bought into the “I’m from government and I’m here to help,” line, and we’re paying dearly for it.
In between playing guitar in a nightclub and eating pizza in a Nazi-themed restaurant in Kiev, Secretary of State Antony Blinken took the time to justify Ukraine's cancellation of elections and the inevitable loss of democratic legitimacy of the Ukrainian government. This "war for democracy" thus is revealed as just a proxy war on Russia. Also today: The Gaza aid pier is about to go live, but may well lead to disaster. Finally, new documents show Biden's complicity in the horrors in Gaza.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken dragged C-Span cameras along to a pub in Kiev where he jumped onstage to play Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" with the house band, seemingly oblivious to the rapid advance of Russian forces in the north. Meanwhile, Blinken green-lights Ukraine to strike deep within Russia despite Russian warnings of retaliation at the source - whether in Ukraine or elsewhere. What could go wrong? Also today: Blinken's "holding up" weapons for Israel exposed as cynical political farce. Finally: Hero Massie drops pro raw milk bill.
Was a massive $300,000 AIPAC ad purchase against Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in Kentucky green-lighted by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson? Is the Republican Party at war with itself and willing to slur its own members on spurious charges of bigotry? Also today, US Army Major, of Jewish background, resigns over Biden's Gaza policy. Finally, a Republican Rep from Florida drops bill to impeach Biden...for "withholding weapons" from Israel?
Looking a little worse for wear, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took to the Sunday talk show circuit to demand that Israel follow the US lead in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and drop a nuclear weapon on Gaza...where some two million civilians still cling to life. Also today: House Republicans actually threw a party to celebrate extending warrantless government spying on Americans! Finally, what kind of Republican Party will we see coming out of the July convention?
"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." That is the law that Congress must follow. Every member of government "swears" that they will obey that law. Why is there a bill in Congress designed to send anti-war college protesters to Gaza?
As the Israeli military moves into Rafah, the former "safe haven" for displaced Palestinians from elsewhere in Gaza, against the expressed wishes of the Biden Administration, a new poll shows how much Biden's Israel policy is hurting him with voters. Does he have any moves? Also today: WHO "pandemic treaty" rears its ugly head. Can these authoritarians be stopped?
A group of Republican rebels, led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, have laid down their list of demands to cease and desist from their efforts to unseat Speaker Johnson from his chair. Are they reasonable? Also today: Trump trials all falling apart. Finally: US contractors guarding Gaza's southern border? Good idea?
As part of our ongoing series of presidential candidate interviews, we are joined today by the Libertarian Party's Joshua Smith to discuss his vision for the United States and the road toward a libertarian future.
Shocking news over the weekend that the "Justice" department had "altered or manipulated" key evidence in former President Trump's classified documents trial casts a shadow on the case against him. Was it incompetence...or something more? Also: As Israel prepares to invade Rafah, will Biden finally stand up for civilians in Gaza? A report in the Israeli media reveals that the US supplies 50 percent of all Israel's ammunition.
Opinions are not crimes. They are thoughts. Once government attempts to turn opinions into crimes, it opens the door for any thought that they don’t like to become a crime. The best way to counter distasteful opinions is with free speech, so that the truth can shine a light on them. Opinions can change. Opinions are always changing. But allow the idea of “hate speech” and government can make it a crime anytime you open your mouth in opposition to them.
Libertarian professor and intellectual - and presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party - Michael Rectenwald joins today's Liberty Report to discuss the mood of the country from his vantage point on the campaign trail. What are the main obstacles on the path to liberty and how might they be overcome?
In a fascinating exchange US Rep. Matt Gaetz probed US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the role of the estimated 1,000 US troops involved in building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza. Austin insisted that they were not "boots on the ground" although he admitted they would be armed and would respond to incoming fire. Injecting US troops into a warzone requires a Congressional vote, Gaetz warned Austin. Also today: Pro-life activist meets US "justice" system. Finally: Cheating on mail-in ballots? Say it ain't so!
Not only did the massive $100 billion foreign aid bill passed by Speaker Johnson earlier this month contain not a penny to protect US borders, it turns out the bill contained a $3.5 billion "slush fund" to actually help facilitate MORE migration into the US. Will conservatives finally turn on him? Also today...Russia claims to have shot down six ATACMS missiles in attempted Ukraine attack on Crimea. Good news for the US military-industrial complex! Finally today: Government "anti-Semitism monitors" on all college campuses?
In yet another example of the Democrats and their uniparty partners the Republicans seeking to narrow the foreign policy authority, Congress is reportedly seeking to create a ten year funding agreement with Ukraine that the next three future presidents will find nearly impossible to break. So much for voting. Also today, the Biden Crime Family strikes again?
Freedom of Speech was included as the First Amendment for a reason. It's that important! Without the ability to speak freely and protest against the government, liberty is lost. Unfortunately, as with so many things when government power expands too far, freedom of speech becomes politicized. "Free speech for me, but not for thee." Both Left & Right will embrace censorship and cracking down on peaceful protests, if they believe it will help them "win." But once freedom of speech is sacrificed, the only "winner" is government power. Both the Left & the Right lose their liberties.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video yesterday attacking the student protests in the US against Israel's actions in Gaza and demanding that US authorities crack down on those exercising free speech. House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Netanyahu's condemnation of the protesters and called for the National Guard to be sent in. Has he ever heard of "Kent State"? Also...Texas governor Gregg Abbott sent troops to crack heads at a University of Texas protest. Free speech on the ropes?
In a bizarre rant after Senate passage of the huge $95 billion foreign aid bill, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blamed journalist Tucker Carlson for Republican opposition to the overseas giveaway. The top Senate Republican implied that Carlson's reporting on rampant corruption in Ukraine makes him a "Russian asset" rather than a journalist. Also today: The McConnell/Schumer uniparty bulldozes America. Finally: merit makes a comeback at US universities.
NATO's purpose - if it ever had one - is now long since passed. The Cold War has ended and the over-blown scare of global communism has receded. So what is NATO's purpose in our era? Is it time for a radical restructuring? Also today - the Ukraine aid bill will likely be signed into law today and the military-industrial bonanza will be on. But will more weapons make a difference? Finally - is Trump secretly mad at Speaker Johnson?
According to a new article by Seymour Hersh, CIA Director William Burns traveled to Kiev earlier this year to ask Zelensky to stop skimming so much off the top of US aid money. Apparently his top generals were angry that he was skimming more than they were! Meanwhile Congress voted to send $60 billion MORE to the corrupt regime. With the money approved, calls are now going out for Western TROOPS to be sent to Ukraine. Also today: Trump's alleged "hush money" is "election interference"?
The government and the Fed are a tag-team of power that have pummeled America. The former spends trillions (that it doesn’t have) pretending to rule the world. The latter counterfeits those trillions into existence, destroying our economy and driving prices into the stratosphere. There can be no economic freedom living under this morally corrupt couple. Only ultimate bankruptcy. The marriage of Bank & State needs to be annulled.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said this week he considers himself a "war time" Speaker - even though we are not at war. But he seems to be at war with the American people, bringing up a bill to send a hundred billion dollars overseas while America struggles. Also today: will the Senate stop the super-spy bill?
Buried deep in the FISA Section 702 re-authorization bill is absolutely shocking language exponentially broadening the US government's ability to spy on Americans without a warrant. Turning your plumber into a federal spy agent against you? It's in there! Your gardener? Yep. Truly shocking! Also today: The US Government has submitted its "assurances" to the UK regarding the Assange extradition plan. It's not good.
Weekly Update --- FISA Exchanges Real Liberty for Phantom Security. by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The revolt against House Speaker Mike Johnson is picking up steam, as Johnson revealed plans to take several MASSIVE foreign spending bills to the floor this week. Tying foreign aid to protecting the borders at home - once a staple in Johnson's rhetoric - has been tossed aside. Rep. Thomas Massie announced he would co-sponsor a bill to vacate the Chair - an ouster of Johnson.
After an unprecedented Iranian response to Israel's attack on its embassy in Syria, pressure is building for Israel to retaliate against the retaliation. Biden officials are panicking at the thought of a wider Mideast war in election season. What happens next? Also today, a US General admits the truth about Russia's war in Ukraine; after two years of US government lies.
Senator Paul put out a scorcher of an article in response to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's accusation that Rand was an "isolationist." We'll unpack the sizzler in today's show. Also today - Democrats are calling on Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down so Biden can name a "younger" replacement in case he loses his re-election bid. Does this seem a bit tawdry and unseemly?
At least a half million Democrat voters have cast their votes for “uncommitted” rather than for Joe Biden, as opposition to his "blank check" policy for Israel continues to grow. Biden strategists are getting nervous. Also today: Gaza slaughter is bringing in big bucks for the Israeli arms industry. Finally: the House FISA battle heats up.
Weekly Update --- McConnell Cannot Stop The Non-Interventionist Tide by Ron Paul Liberty Report
After last week's Israel attack on western aid workers, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has signed a Democrat Party letter to President Biden demanding a pause in arms shipments to Israel until an investigation can be completed on the attack. Democrats are increasingly feeling the pressure of their party's overwhelming opposition to Biden's Israel policy. Also today: more cracks in NATO's rotten core. Finally: Trump does the right thing on abortion.
The minimum wage outlaws jobs. The only question is which jobs are outlawed. In California, any job that can be done for less than $20 are illegal in fast food chains. Naturally, prices for consumers will go up, workers are laid off (thanks to a law!) while automation, kiosks and robotics replace them. Smaller businesses go out of business, or are never started; while big businesses adapt with much greater ease. Sounds a lot like the policies that were imposed under covid, doesn’t it? But this time, the tool of choice is the minimum wage law.
For decades, writer Jim Bovard has been a critical observer of the passing scene. His documentation of the loss of our liberties will continue to be a valuable tool for future generations. Bovard joins us today to discuss his new book, "Last Rights: The Death of American Liberty."
Pentagon and NATO officials are reportedly considering moving under NATO control a multi-national group that coordinates military aid to Ukraine. Control is currently in US hands, but the deep state fears a re-elected President Trump may attempt to stop their endless war machine. Also today: Biden's crocodile tears over Israel's slaughter of aid workers.
Israel "scored" a triple yesterday, bombing aid workers in Gaza, a hospital in Gaza, and the Iranian embassy compound in Syria. Meanwhile the Biden Administration is reportedly preparing another massive weapons "sale" to Israel. Also today: Sen. Mitch McConnell warns of a rise in "isolationism" in the Republican Party.
The Senate Calls Out-Of-Control Spending A National Security Threat, Keeps Spending Anyway by Ron Paul Liberty Report
President Biden has declared Easter Sunday to be the "Transgender Day of Visibility" and his administration has released "border migrant rioters" while Jan. 6th political prisoners remain in the gulag. Also today: A US Representative calls for more terrorism against citizens of Gaza and finally...Speaker Johnson wants to give Ukraine a...loan?
Last week, we asked ‘What kind of country allows itself to be invaded?’ This week, we ask ‘What kind of country bankrupts itself?’ Why are we even forced to asked these questions? The role of government in the United States needs to be seriously reconsidered. Attempting to rule the world needs to be abandoned before it’s too late.
According to a new YouGov poll, the majority of Americans of military age would refuse to fight if a major global conflagration broke out including the United States. What does this say about our foreign policy and US future? Also today: Rep. Massie exposes cattle-tagging tyranny. Finally: Texas Governor declares war...on the First Amendment!
A new Gallup Poll released today shows a dramatic decline in US support for Israel's actions in Gaza, with the majority of Americans opposing Israel. Among Democrats, the opposition is even higher, promising more headaches for Biden. Also today: Media meltdown on Ronna's (now-cancelled) MSNBC contract. Finally: UK General admits obvious: 'we can't fight Russia."
A UK High Court delivered a mixed bag to Julian Assange and his family earlier today, holding off on ruling for the deportation subject to US "reassurances." But the court rejected key elements of Assange's appeal. We'll break it down today. Also in the program: FDA surrenders in its propaganda war against Ivermectin. Finally: Trump's surprising straight talk on Israel and Gaza.
Weekly Update --- Congressional Omnibus Is Like A Bad Hollywood Movie Sequel by Ron Paul Liberty Report
A last minute "stay" of ten days was granted to former President Donald Trump in his half-billion dollar "fraud" case, meaning he must come up with $175 million within ten days or the state would begin seizing his assets. Also today: Speaker Johnson invites Netanyahu to address Congress and...who attacked Moscow?
What kind of country allows itself to be invaded? A vast majority of what the federal government does, it should not be doing. It’s almost all unconstitutional. But they ignore the constitution and do it anyway. The federal government does have a job that it actually does have to do - protect the border - and it fails miserably at it. Our entire nation suffers as a result. Invaders are now squatters in our houses? That’s the severity of the failure that we’re now experiencing.
The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that a deal was being discussed between Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's legal team and the US Department of Justice that might result in a plea to lesser charges. Good idea? Also today: New York is nuts - squatters have more rights than homeowners! Finally: Say it ain't so, Trump - new speculation about his top cabinet picks should terrify us.
The Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday held another hearing yesterday on the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Of all the finger-pointing and blame-sharing, one thing is never asked: why was the US in Afghanistan in the first place? Why is it so easy to get into wars but nearly impossible to get out? Also today...can Texas protect its borders...or not?
Sen. Lindsey Graham traveled (again) to Ukraine to try and whip up more war fever. This time he scolded the Ukrainian government for not conscripting younger kids to die in the US proxy war with Russia. Also today: Europeans are quitting the military in high numbers. A return to the draft is in the works in many countries. Finally: Israel has a new plan to steal more Gaza land...
A disturbing report from the Government Accountability Office shows that 70 percent - and maybe more - of the outrageously expensive, over-budget F-35 fighter jets are not capable of conducting combat. Yet Washington continues to rattle sabers at Russia and China. Also today: Pentagon not bothering to track weapons sent to Ukraine, and US considering MORE military aid to Israel as "incentive" for lower civilian casualties...
The government cannot protect our freedom by taking away our freedom. It cannot shield us from harm (real or imagined) by censoring the truth and ripping away our privacy. It cannot “battle” communists by acting just like the communists. It cannot protect us from corporate fraud by mandating the use of their fraudulent products. The government is supposed to follow the law, which is the U.S. Constitution, not ignore it and give it lip service only when it's politically convenient. The Bill of Rights is not a joke. Those rights precede the government itself, and do not come from them. The primary job of every good citizen is make sure that those rights remain uninhibited.
Yesterday's House vote to either force the sale of Tik Tok or ban it entirely from the US is the most dangerous and anti-American act since the passage of the PATRIOT Act. The law will give the US president SOLE AUTHORITY to determine which businesses can and cannot operate in the United States. It is a full government takeover of our basic liberties.
Four years ago this week the manipulators in "public health," government, academia, and the media launched a totalitarian idea that had never been seen before in the "free world" - they called it "15 days to slow the spread," but we know it as virus tyranny. A psychosis. New York Times Bestselling author Tom Woods joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his new book about this dark chapter in US history, "Diary of a Psychosis: How Public Health Disgraced Itself During COVID Mania."Get Tom's book and the free e-book at: DiaryOfCovid.com
The Pentagon is doing a Zelensky - begging for money because it has shipped all its weapons to Ukraine. Whose idea was it to send weapons we need to Ukraine? Also today, Poland's neocon foreign minister confirms there are NATO troops already in Ukraine.
A new bill in the California state assembly would qualify individuals illegally in the country for zero-down, zero interest home loans. Does it seem like a good idea? Also today: How did Biden do in the State of the Union address?
Yemen is not going as promised. After weeks of US and UK bombing, the Red Sea is still effectively off-limits to US and UK shipping and to all shipping to and from Israel. Yemen's Houthis announced the policy in protest of Israel's slaughter in Gaza. Recently the Pentagon blamed the CIA for the failed Yemen policy, claiming they were lacking in intelligence. Also today: Fatal flaw in Ukraine war and Daniel Hale is out of jail.
Uber warhawk Nikki is out of the race for the Republican nomination, after a dismal performance that saw wins in only DC and Vermont. We'll tell you why this is good news for the antiwar movement. Also today: new poll shows American support for Israel is plummeting among the youth. Finally...more bad news for Biden.
The neocon behind the 10 year war in Ukraine, State Department #3 "diplomat" Victoria Nuland, suddenly announced her retirement from the US diplomatic corps. What does she know that we don't know? Also today, Marco Rubio's bloody cynicism on Ukraine war. Finally - will "Super Tuesday" finally nudge Neocon Nikki to pull out of the race?
The recent intercepted conversation between senior German military officials, discussing Taurus missile strikes inside of Russia and including the Kerch bridge, has exposed NATO's central role in the Ukraine conflict. And it has taken us further toward WWII. Also today: Why are we airdropping meals in Gaze while airdropping weapons to Israel to kill the people eating the meals? And a word on the Supremes' ruling on Trump.
What do the foreign policy "experts" do when their policies aren't working? They demand MOAR! of the same, of course. So it is that two failed years of Western sanctions are met with demands to do more of what is not working. Also today, Rep. Massie warns us about the upcoming stopgap budget deal. Finally...let's check in on how that war on the Houthis is going...
French President Emmanuel Macron surprised European NATO members earlier this week by stating that it may be necessary to send NATO troops into Ukraine to fight Russia on a "bipartisan" basis. His European counterparts for the most part recoiled at the suggestion, with speculation about WWIII. Also today: Surprising poll on Gaza.
The Liberty Report will be back soon. Please enjoy this classic interview with Lew Rockwell. Be sure to visit LewRockwell.com!
The New York Times came out with a bombshell article on Sunday detailing the past ten years of CIA active warfare from within Ukraine against Russia. From building 12 CIA bases within the country, to instructing on sabotage inside Russia to providing targeting intelligence BEFORE the 2022 Russian military operation in Ukraine. And...much of the operation was kept secret from then-President Trump!
Years before becoming president, Joe Biden made clear his views on migrants, saying "It’s not going to stop. Nor should we want it to stop." What were once waves of illegal immigrants, have now turned into a tsunami. What has Biden done?
In the latest illegal immigration boondoggle, the mayor of New York City adopted a program to give each illegal immigrant family a debit card worth $10,000. Refillable. And he awarded a "minority-owned" company a no-bid contract worth $53 million to carry out the policy...Also today: Neocons bust Ukraine "myths."
Who benefits from the death of Russian politician Alexei Navalny? Could he have been "pushed" by western intelligence services? Also today: Stung by losses in Ukraine, the EU declares war on...the Houthis! Finally - Pelosi in a time warp.
Weekly Update --- Protect the First Amendment: Impeach Joe Biden! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
As Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange makes one final appeal before UK judges to avoid being extradited to the US to face 175 years in prison, press freedom advocates worldwide call on the governments of the US and UK to cease the years-long persecution. Journalism itself is on trial. What to expect? Also today: Trump 2.0 a "Christian nationalist" Administration? Also - Is it really "white supremacism" to like reading?
The usual suspects have decided that Russian president Putin had "dissident" Alexei Navalny killed in prison. Neocons in the US are demanding money for Ukraine because of it. But who is he? Also today: New poll shows most Americans want Ukraine war to be over.
Remember The "CARES" Act? That was when the federal government spent trillions (that it didn't have) to hand out for the lockdowns (that should never have happened). When the Fed prints trillions of dollars, prices skyrocket. When prices skyrocket, shoplifting increases as well. We get rising crime and a lower standard of living because the government "CARES"? The federal government and Federal Reserve create problems and then compound them! Limited government and sound money can get us out of this predicament.
An overwhelming majority in the Australian parliament has voted to request that charges against Julian Assange be dropped and that he be allowed to return to his native country. The UK high court will hold hearings next week on whether Assange can continue to argue his case against extradition to the US, where he faces 175 years in prison. Also today: the pro-war faction of Congress is maneuvering to get the military aid supplemental to the floor. Finally, House Intel Committee Chairman rolls out very suspicious "national security warning" regarding Russia.
A new bombshell report by Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger shows that the Obama Administration intelligence agencies used their foreign counterparts to spy on the Trump campaign and its personnel. Why? They wanted the dirt on Trump, but it would have been illegal for the CIA to do the spying. Also today: Biden DHS head Mayorkas impeached in the House. Finally: DEI in the sky should make you afraid to fly!
With the collaboration of most Senate Republicans, the US upper body "survived" a valiant filibuster effort by Sen. Rand Paul and others and passed a nearly $100 foreign military aid bill with any mention of the US border removed. Sen. Vance pointed out the several poison pills in the bill that would unconstitutionally bind any new Trump Administration, yet Senate Republicans ignored him. Also today: a panicked Congress seeks to forbid a future President Trump from getting out of NATO.
After a terrible week for President Biden, one in which the special prosecutor determined that Biden should not be charged over mishandling of classified documents because he was not mentally fit, a new poll shows the vast majority of Americans think he is just too old for another term. There is something the poll is missing, though... Also today: CDC vs CDC on masks. Finally - Dems panic that Trump might shut down their censorship agency.
When politicians spend money that they don't have ($34 trillion+) the Fed has to counterfeit money into existence. Everyone then has to adapt to the dollar losing value. Companies too have to adapt, by cutting costs and via "shrinkflation" (i.e., charging the same amount for less product). The companies aren't being "greedy." They're just adapting to actual greed -- politicians spending money that they do not have.
Today the US Supreme Court takes up the case of Colorado banning former President Trump from the ballot. Is this a legal case? Political case? Both? What to expect? Also today, surprise: no charges expected in Biden's classified documents case. Finally: "We have troops in Syria? Really?
Showing their disdain for journalism and fear of losing control of the narrative, leading EU politicians are calling for a travel ban on journalist Tucker Carlson over an interview he will release with Russian president Putin. And the interview is not even out yet! Also today: Rare failure of Israel funding bill in the House and McConnell losing control of Senate Republicans.
It is through constant lies that the war party generates the wars that bring them unlimited profits. As Congress ponders spending nearly another $100 billion on permanent wars, how do they keep fooling Americans into thinking it's "national security"? Also today: Ukraine weapons skim. Finally: New poll spells trouble for Biden's Middle East policy.
The Biden Administration's attacks on Syria and Iraq over the weekend was supposed to deter the various militias from continuing to attack US military outposts in the two countries. But it hasn't worked. And it won't work. As Doug Macgregor writes in the American Conservative, Biden's bombing is "pointless...virtue signalling." Also today: Senate border bill is DOA in the House. Speaker Johnson moves to fund Israel in a standalone bill.
Philip Patrick joins the Liberty Report to talk about the grim future of America's economy.
WIth an estimated half a million Ukrainian soldiers dead, there is one "bright spot" in the US proxy war with Russia: the US military -industrial complex has used the war as a live-fire testing ground for the latest weapons. As Politico reports, a batch of "Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs" will soon be tested in Ukraine. The US military has not even received these weapons. Also today: Russian investigators claim a US Patriot missile shot down a Russian cargo plane carrying Ukrainian prisoners of war. Finally: More Texas border woes for Biden.
Though the Biden Administration has said there will be no US troops on the ground in Israel's war on Gaza, The Intercept reports yesterday on a US Air Force memo informing personnel to be “on standby to forward deploy to support troops in the case of on ground US involvement in the Israel Hamas war.” Our war? Also today: Nuland says NEVER to getting out of Syria and the EU goes Warsaw Pact on Hungary.
Mainstream media is reporting that President Biden has made a decision on how to respond to the drone strike that claimed three US service members over the weekend. Will it be a direct strike on Iran? More bombs in Iraq? Syria? And will he bother to get authorization from Congress? Also today, John Bolton's "dire" warnings about Trump 2.0.
Yesterday's attack on US troops in Syria/Jordan gave Sen. Lindsey Graham the opportunity to repeat his favorite chorus "Attack Iran!" While Republican hawks profess admiration for President Ronald Reagan, they suspiciously ignore one of his most important foreign policy decisions: to pull US troops from Lebanon where they were sitting ducks for attack. Also today: Texit for Texas?
Americans are certainly feeling the pain of rapacious government spending, enabled by Federal Reserve counterfeiting. It's one thing when purchasing luxury items is out of reach. It's understandable. That's why they're called "luxury" items. But when buying food is out of reach? Now you can no longer ignore the source of the problem. Counterfeiting always leads to economic ruin, without exception. The Federal Reserve is certainly not the exception. Senator Rand Paul is right. It's time to audit the Fed.
Former US Congressman, OMB Director, and successful businessman David Stockman (who is also on the Board of the Ron Paul Institute) joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his new book on Trump's economic views. Is Trump really at war with capitalism? Tune in to the program!
Part of the "magic" of the two Ron Paul Republican presidential campaigns was the broad appeal of his message to the younger generation. Kentucky attorney and state senate candidate TJ Roberts is part of the next wave of young liberty activists seeking to correct the rudderless ship of state. What are the issues that animate the next generation of liberty activists?
Despite Israel's political leadership claiming that only the complete destruction of Hamas in Gaza is acceptable, its military leadership is increasingly vocal about the difficulty - or impossibility - of that task. As the US continues to get drawn deeper into the expanding regional war, what are the goals and what is the endgame. Former CIA counterterrorism officer Philip Giraldi joins today's program.
President Biden has admitted that US airstrikes on Yemen have not "deterred" the Houthis from blocking ships from Israeli ports. In response, the Washington Post is reporting that Biden plans to escalate...but has no plan or authorization. This won't end well.Sign up for FREE updates from the Ron Paul Institute here: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/subscribe/
Just the term "Bidenomics" should make Americans cringe. It implies that government is outside and above actual and immutable economic laws. Whenever you see "omics" appended to a politician's name, beware. You're being fed yet another fictitious "narrative." You don't need the government or the media to "explain" your economic situation to you. Their "explanation" will rarely, if ever, match reality.
House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) is demanding answers after discovering that the Biden Administration has instructed government officials to flag financial transactions for financial institutions for people using politically sensitive words such as "MAGA" and Trump." Also today: The kids aren't buying the climate change religion...and a British lefty group wants to punish them for it. Finally...another round of attacks on Yemen fails. What next?
Weekly Update --- Congress Asleep As Biden Makes War On Yemen by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Connor Boyack is the founder of the Libertas Institute and the author of the highly influential "Tuttle Twins" series of books geared toward teaching young people about freedom and liberty.
Former President Donald Trump won the first in the nation primary by an historic margin, leaving Nikki “Nipping At Don’s Heels” Haley far in the dust. What does this say about the American voter considering the numerous indictments and other lawfare tools being used against him? Also today: Iran retaliates as DC sends more troops to the region.
As could have been predicted, several rounds of US and allied airstrikes on Yemen have failed to "de-escalate" tensions with the Houthis, who have declared that they would halt shipping to and from Israeli ports in response to Tel Aviv's destruction of Gaza. In a bind, what will Biden do? Also today...Netanyahu tells the truth. Finally: US watched as American journalist died in Ukrainian dungeon.
The U.S. has decided to bomb yet another Middle Eastern nation, this time the Houthis in Yemen. Once again, this has nothing to do with the security of the United States, and once again Congress has not declared war - which makes this action blatantly unconstitutional. It's evident that we (and our representatives!) have been relegated to being mere spectators as a small handful of people in government place our lives and property into significant danger.
Iran has seized the exact cargo ship seized by the United States last year, raising the stakes in the Middle Eastern tinderbox. The US seized the ship and confiscated the million barrels of Iranian oil as a punishment for violation of US sanctions. Now the Iranians are likely to "get their oil back" from the exact same (renamed) ship, this time carrying Iraqi oil. Also today: US moves closer to seizing Russian assets and Speaker Johnson pledges the US to defend Taiwan.
Famed trends forecaster Gerald Celente joins today's Liberty Report to give us an idea of what to look for in 2024. Will we have a global economic meltdown? Total war? More tyranny?
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel trying to convince Tel Aviv to slow down on killing civilians, stop flattening infrastructure, and to not ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians. Israel's response thus far has been a hard "no." Has Washington ever been so impotent? Also today, thousands of amputee children in Gaza continue to suffer as US-provided bombs destroy their lives.
Call it "The Case of the Disappearing Defense Secretary." Just as a major war is about to break out in the Middle East - which will most certainly involve the United States - President Biden's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin...disappeared! And no one noticed! Who's running the show? Also today: Hold your wallets: House Republican leadership set to "compromise" on big spending budget. Finally - war profits: US-funded troops from Israel are fighting US-funded troops from Lebanon.
America was never meant to be an empire. It was meant to remain the "land of the free." Empires are the antithesis of freedom, and they always end up going broke. Alas, after 100 years of foreign misadventures, we Americans find ourselves saddled with the biggest government in history and an empire that's going broke! Just the interest on the national debt is now higher than the extremely bloated "defense" budget. We all know what happens when interest payments overwhelm, right? Liquidation.
Are Americans getting war-weary? A new AP-NORC poll has revealed that the percentage of Americans who consider foreign policy a top issue has doubled this year. The Biden Administration thus far has been one of steady increase in military involvement overseas and as this and other recent polls show, Americans are fed up. Also today: New House Bill calls for the US to drop charges against Assange. Can we get it some traction?
Iran has suffered its largest terror attack in more than 40 years, as several explosive devices went off at a memorial ceremony for the late Gen. Soleimani. With tensions in the Middle East already at an extreme, who could have been behind the attack and who benefits? Also today: surprise surprise - the "extremism in the military" scare was completely bogus. Another Biden lie.
Many podcasts and prognosticators are busy today making predictions of what to expect in 2024. We are taking a different approach. Today we bring you a few things you can bet will NOT happen in the new year.
Mankind's enduring battle between power and liberty is about to flip the calendar page once again. While the former uses force to create division, the latter seeks harmony through voluntary interactions. Power may have the upper hand as we start the new year, but the desperation to hold onto that power has now become more than obvious. What are the prospects for liberty as we enter 2024?
Flashback 2011 - 'Freedom Is a Young Idea and We're Throwing It Away' by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Inflation is "down," so we'll be popping open the good champagne this New Year’s Eve, right? Then why does it seem like we should be popping open soda cans instead? Why do our own senses (and bills) tell us a different story from the government's "narratives"? Can we ever expect the truth from a government that spends money that it doesn't have, that the Federal Reserve has to counterfeit into existence?
This week's decision by the Colorado Supreme Court to bar former President Trump from the presidential ballot has led to expected repercussions: Republicans across the country are threatening revenge barring Biden from red state ballots. Where is voting in this country headed? Also today, US wields veto threat to keep UN from calling for Gaza ceasefire.Please make your year-end, tax deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute right away - a generous supporter has offered $50,000 in matching funds between now and Dec. 31st at midnight!

The Colorado Supreme Court - all them appointees of Democratic governors - has ruled that Donald Trump cannot appear on the state's presidential ballot, claiming his participation in the January 6th, 2021 "insurrection" disqualified him under the 14th Amendment. Will the latest partisan attack on Trump just make him stronger? Also today: big trouble in little Yemen. And finally: Republican Congressman urges US fight against "communist" Russia...
The tree is up and so are the decorations. Ron and Carol Paul invite the Liberty Report into their home to talk about what makes Christmas special to the ever-growing Paul family that will soon join them for the holiday...
Weekly Update --- Congress' 'Gift' To America This Christmas by Ron Paul Liberty Report
GOP Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has lit up what would otherwise have been mind-numbingly boring Republican presidential debates by hitting the candidates HARD on their support for the warfare-welfare state. Is Vivek the future of the GOP?
Thanks to a FOIA request, an internal document from the Federal Reserve, known as the "Doomsday Book" has been released. The purpose of it is to guide The Fed's actions during emergencies. Emre Kuvvet, professor of finance at Nova Southeastern University says "the central bank—or at least the legal team at its dominant member bank—apparently believes it can rely on precedent to justify virtually any emergency action." Do laws lose their purpose when virtually anything can be justified? Perhaps Tacitus was right: "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."
The US House this morning joined the Senate in approving the massive, trillion dollar National Defense Authorization Act where Congressional leadership snuck in authorization for the government to continue to illegally spy on US citizens not suspected or accused of any crime! In the House, Speaker Johnson only passed the bill with the assistance of Democrats - a move that cost his predecessor his job. Will Johnson suffer a backlash for betraying his promises?
In a surprise move, "first son" Hunter Biden took to the media on the day he was supposed to appear before Congress. Hunter assured the American people that his dad, President Biden, had nothing at all to do with Hunter's extremely shady business successes while his dad was VP. Will America believe him? Also today: US Intel claims Russia lost 90 percent of its military. So...why was Zelensky in town begging for more aid?
On another desperation begging trip to the US, Ukraine president Zelensky tears into Senate Republicans hesitant to send over another $60 billion to what is widely accepted to be a lost cause. Such Republicans are "inspiring Putin" barked Zelensky. Also today who's greenlighting Gaza mayhem? And finally: 'Woke' Canada cancels Christmas.
Weekly Update --- Biden, Media Gaslight People About Inflation by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Universities have been in the news over the past week with the grilling of Ivy League university presidents over an alleged outbreak of "hate speech" about Israel. Is the new move against "hate speech" a continuation of wokeism or a return to free speech?
Empires grow and expand on lies. The bigger the empires, the bigger the mountains of lies have to be in order to sustain them. Ultimately, when enough time passes, even the lies start to lose their potency. They keep coming at rapid fire, but the number of believers start to dwindle. Empires require concentrated and centralized "narratives," along with censorship. Therefore, decentralized information, the freedom to choose where you get your information, and free speech are the only way forward.
With 'Russiagate" dead and buried (for now), President Biden is looking for new scares to warn voters off Trump. "He'll be a dictator," is the new mantra. Meanwhile the reality is that all presidents rule as dictators. Also today: how about that Republican debate? Finally: MTG lets loose on the evil NDAA and limp Republican dealmakers.
Despite what you may hear in the mainstream media, poll after poll demonstrate clearly that the American people have very little interest in being involved in Israel's war on Gaza. The latest poll, released this week, shows that a majority of ALL American voters want a permanent ceasefire. Meanwhile, US Congress keeps stoking the flames of war and the President keeps delivering weapons. Also today...even Germany's Die Welt admits that Ukraine war likely lost.
The White House is becoming desperate to continue funding for its "Plan Ukraine," claiming that the money will run out in just three weeks' time. Zelensky himself has been summoned by Senate Majority Leader Schumer to make the case for more funding in a behind-the-doors classified briefing to Senators. Republicans are trying to tie funding to US border security. Aldo today: The Pentagon can't account for 61 percent of four trillion in assets. By design?
Weekly Update --- The Real Problem With Our Foreign Policy... by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Speaking at the Reagan Library over the weekend, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin (a former executive in the military-industrial complex) blamed chaos, bloodshed, and terrorism worldwide on Americans who oppose the US global military empire. Non-interventionists are the real enemy, said Austin. Also today: Shipping woes in the Middle East may lead to war explosion. Finally: They lost the J6 deposition tapes? Incompetence or something more sinister?
We seem to be moving (slowly, but steadily) to a multi-polar world. The U.S. empire is continually losing wars and credibility. Meanwhile, other major powers are stockpiling gold and forming economic relationships with other nations around the world. A hundred years of American wars have been fueled by debt, which are fueled by fiat money. Counterfeit money did this to us; and it can only be fixed with sound money.
As the US House is scheduled for a third - and likely successful - vote to expel Rep. George Santos (R-NY), the Congressman held an extraordinary press conference where he took no prisoners calling out the liars den on Capitol Hill. There are little lies...and there are the big lies. Also today: Man or monster? Kissinger dead at 100. Finally: Sen. Paul to force vote on Syria withdrawal.
With a majority of Americans opposing further US involvement in the Israel/Gaza conflict, President Biden is finding that within his own Democratic Party support for his approach is even softer. Younger voters are solidly opposed to further US support for Israel's continued assault on Gaza. That is why while Biden's initial reaction tracked more closely with his neocon views, he is furiously backpedaling under pressure from his own party. Also today: Rep. Massie is the lone "no" vote on another anti-free speech House Resolution.
Fire up your grill! The UN is set to call on Americans to eat less meat. In the real world, every individual is unique and free to choose whether or not to eat meat. That's obvious to a vast majority of people. But in typical cookie-cutter fashion, the UN presumes to know what everyone's dietary habits should be. Even though the UN has no authority to implement their bad ideas, it does give everyone a glimpse of the authoritarian globalist mindset.
Throughout history, authoritarians have been playing a futile game of whack-a-mole against the truth. Since authoritarians gain and maintain their power by propaganda and lies, it follows that free speech and the truth are their great enemy. No matter what "systems" the authoritarians try to erect to stop people from speaking freely, the truth always prevails. It ends up being spoken from the most unplanned, unexpected, and unpredictable places. Nevertheless, we must forever remain vigilant and defend our ability to speak freely.
Though years have now passed, the American Empire continues to stubbornly overextend itself.Our lives, our liberties, and our economic means are still recklessly placed in serious danger.
Why is being thankful so important? Why is it important to remain optimistic despite the dark clouds of tyranny? Why is it counterproductive to think that "everything is going according to plan" for the authoritarians, when it obviously isn't? We hope you enjoy this special Thanksgiving Edition of The Ron Paul Liberty Report!If you would like to donate to our show, please visit:https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/Happy Thanksgiving!
America wasn't meant to be an empire, but a land of individual liberty. Empires destroy liberty. Why must our money be taken from us for weapons and endless war? Our money shouldn't be taken from us at all, let alone for that! Why not use our money to fix our deteriorating country? Why do our politicians constantly complain about our deteriorating country, yet constantly vote for weapons and war? Why do politicians speak "America First," but vote "Empire First"? Why do they complain about our poor, but vote to make more of us poor? Since Empires always go bankrupt, why are our politicians pushing us to that extreme? Are they that terrified of us being free?
Weekly Update --- We Must Demand Justice For The January 6th Protestors! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
It's not called the "Empire of Lies" for nothing. Deception is the oxygen of empire. 44,000+ hours of January 6th footage has been released, and it's quite obvious as to why they weren't released in the first place.Also today, Javier Milei was elected in Argentina. Is change coming to the South American nation?
History is filled with examples of failed attempts to 'conquer the world.' Americans seceded from the greatest military power that the world had ever seen, in the British Empire. America would be different. It would be the 'land of the free.' And for a while, it was different. Never have so many individuals had so much freedom, and never was so much prosperity created by a single nation. But alas, the ideas of 'conquering the world,' took over and the downward slide began. As the dustbin of failed empires waits for its newest member, the American people must re-learn and re-implement the ideas of Liberty.
President Biden exhibited poor diplomacy (again); this time by calling Chinese President Xi a "dictator," while Xi was still here in the U.S.! Whether Xi is or isn't a "dictator" really has nothing to do with Americans. That's an issue for the Chinese citizens to work out for themselves. It's their government, not ours. America's foreign policy should be based on the policy of the Founders of our nation: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." We aren't even remotely close to such a policy; and it's costing us dearly. As our nation fails at being "the world's policeman," our livelihoods and standards of living are declining rapidly.
"Get off yer butt!" US Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) challenged Teamster President Sean O'Brien to a fight during a Senate Committee Hearing. Idiocracy? Or a novel way to pay down the debt: pay-per-view Senate brawl hearings! Also today, Nikki Haley demands that you show her your papers! Finally, the fascism of corporate/government collusion on censorship continues.
Ukraine, Russia, Gaza, Israel... As the entire world seemingly goes up in flames, there is at the same time an antiwar movement struggling to break free. Censorship from the media and the "censorship industrial complex" is trying to strangle the messengers and bury the message. Antiwar.com News Editor Dave DeCamp joins today's Liberty Report to discuss coalition-building and getting the message out.
While the once-beautiful San Francisco normally looks like an open air sewer and drug encampment, for the upcoming Asia-Pacific summit meeting featuring China's Xi Jinping city officials have rolled out the street cleaners to save the embarrassment. Once the foreign leaders are gone...it'll be back to poo and hypodermics! Also today: Venezuelan refugees opt to return to Venezuela after spending time in Chicago. Finally, simmering tensions in Syria and Iraq - is a blow up on the way?
Debt literally takes down empires. The U.S. government was never meant to be a militarized empire, since freedom and empire are mutually exclusive. But alas, the decisions to become an empire were made before any of us were born. In typical fashion, the U.S. government has overextended itself militarily around the world, engaging in endless wars. Those wars come at a severe cost, as our standard of living at home deteriorates. Debts cannot be endless. Ultimately, the interest payments will overwhelm. The U.S. government is now paying $1 Trillion in interest payments alone.
All of a sudden the Republican Party has returned to its 2002, neocon-dominated warmongering. The pseudo-debate last night signaled the return of the neocons and their disastrous warfare-welfare philosophy. Also today: Biden faces internal revolt over his Gaza policy as US troops hit harder and harder in Syria.
The White House admitted through National Security Council spokesman John Kirby that "many thousands" of innocent civilians have been killed in Gaza and that many more civilians would continue to be killed...but it refused to slow down weapons shipments or caution Israel over the death toll. Also today, only four House Republicans stand up for free speech in the censure of Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
Coming off a disastrous Middle East trip, at which he was shunned at every stop, Biden's Secretary of State Tony Blinken returned to a "dissent" memo signed by numerous State Department officials opposing current US policy. With poll numbers sagging for Biden - and even worse for Kamala - what's Team Biden's next move? All out war?
Weekly Update --- Don't Worry, It's Not Foreign Aid...It's Corporate Welfare! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Former President Donald Trump is expected to testify today in the New York civil case revolving around the alleged elevated valuation of his business empire. While the lawfare against Trump increases...so do his poll numbers! Also today: Blinken in Baghdad...he wasn't greeted as a liberator.
The purpose of government is not to be married to corporations, with each reinforcing the other. Government's legitimate role is not for the protection and growth of corporate profits; and corporations are not meant to strengthen government's destruction of our freedoms. But alas, this is the type of system that Americans have been living under for a very long time. Today we're discussing the "miracle" covid vax that the vast majority of Americans are now refusing to take. The truth always wins in the end. Even corporatism is no match for it.
After Israel's bombing of a Gaza refugee camp this week killed scores of civilians, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told CNN that there should be "no limit" on the number of civilians Israel can kill. In a previous interview he urged Israel to turn Gaza into post-WWII Berlin. Also today, US House passes resolution authorizing attacks on Iran.
A new article in The Guardian details the enthusiasm among the masters of Wall Street for the wars in Gaza (and Ukraine), issuing "buy" orders all around for US weapons manufacturer stocks. Meanwhile, Gaza's largest refugee camp was blown to pieces yesterday. The Biden Administration is now considering sending US troops as "peacekeepers" once the smoke clears. Good idea?
What a difference a year makes. Just a year ago Time Magazine named Ukrainian president Zelensky its "man of year" and raised his status practically to a saint. This week's Time cover could not be more of a contrast. Have the elites finally thrown "Project Ukraine" and Zelensky under the bus now that a new shiny object - a Middle East war - has come around?
Here they go again! New US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson was chosen to replace a Speaker McCarthy over McCarthy's determination to continue dumping billions into Ukraine. Not one week into his Speakership, however, Johnson's views have "evolved" and now he favors more money to Ukraine...and a war in the Middle East!

Weekly Update --- Biden Election Strategy: ‘Let’s Fight Three Wars at Once!’ by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The Biden Administration is demanding that Congress authorize a massive $105 billion to continue the war on Russia, to join Israel's war on Gaza, and to irritate China with weapons to Taiwan. Is this election season...or world war three? Also today: Illinois Governor is annoyed that Texas keeps sending him illegal immigrants. Will it spoil the Democratic Convention in Chicago?
With major U.S. interventions in Ukraine and Israel, one must not forget that America interferes in the affairs of nations all over the world; with U.S. taxpayers on the hook for all of it. Meddling in Venezuela was in and out of the news this week. The U.S. agreed to decrease economic sanctions in exchange for Venezuela holding elections under international supervision, and of course, oil. Is this the proper role for the U.S. government?
President Biden has completed his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, with media reporting that he gave a "green light" for Israel to begin a ground operation in Gaza. Many questions remain unanswered, including the role of US military assets in the area and what mission, if any, US troops might have in support of Israeli military action. Also today: Jewish peace groups arrested in US Capitol office buildings and rockets begin flying into US bases in Iraq and Syria.
On the eve of what was to be a highly-scripted visit by President Biden to Israel and Jordan, an apparent bombing of a hospital in Gaza tore the plan to shreds as anger at Israel and the US exploded in the region. The Arab leaders he was scheduled to meet in Jordan all bailed out of the summit, leaving just Biden and Netanyahu in an awkward embrace. Also today, Rep. McCaul to authorize US force against Lebanon? Biden to demand another $100 billion for Israel and Ukraine.
Media is reporting that President Biden is about to deploy some 2,000 US troops to the Gaza region in response to the recent unrest between Israel and Hamas. An additional 2,000 Marines are reported to join them and an additional 10,000 troops may be deployed in the two US Carrier Strike Groups that the US has sent to Israel's coast. Is Biden sneaking the US into a massive Middle East war?
President Biden sat through a series of softball questions on 60 Minutes last night in which he assured America that the proxy war in Ukraine and in Israel was "no problem" for us because "we are America, for God's sake." Will Americans agree that billions more are needed to be poured into what is now a two-front war? Also today, Switzerland looks to return to Neutrality.
The purpose of the U.S. military is to defend America, and not to perpetually intervene in conflicts around the world. Never-ending wars have bankrupted many nations throughout history. We should not pretend that we are immune from such an outcome. Endless wars need endless money. The Fed's printing press must counterfeit dollars to pay for them. Rampant inflation has also bankrupted many nations. Wars and inflation are the destroyers of nations.
How does Washington deal with sagging Republican support for more money to Ukraine? Put Ukraine aid together with Israel aid! And slap a few billion for Taiwan while you're at it! It's only our money. Also today: US interventionism fueled the bloody mess in the Middle East. But for the neocons only more interventionism can solve it.
Four days after the dramatic assault by Hamas forces on Israel, it appears Tel Aviv is about to send ground forces into an urban warfare situation. Neocons at home are urging a US attack on Iran. One and maybe two US carrier groups are in or approaching the region. War propaganda is blasting full force. Investigative journalist Anya Parampil joins today's Liberty Report to try and make sense of this week's staggering events.
Even as the brutal attacks on Israel by Hamas fighters were taking place, US neocons saw a crisis they could not bear to see go to waste. Without proof - and against logic - they blamed the whole incursion on Iran and demanded that the US begin attacking Iran in response. Also today: the war party is exploring ramming through a single massive aid bill for both Israel AND Ukraine to exploit US anger over the Hamas attacks in favor of the neocon proxy war on Russia. Will they succeed?
Weekly Update --- Will A New House Speaker Solve Our Problems? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
After US weapons in the hands of Hamas fighters have surfaced on several videos, questions are being asked about how they got there. Were they shipped from Afghanistan, where the US left tons of military equipment in its hasty departure? Were they sold to Hamas by corrupt officials in Ukraine? Also today: Wall Street Journal tries to nudge a war with Iran in a highly sketchy piece claiming Tehran behind Hamas' attack.
America's major problems have been caused by both parties. Whether it be spending, debt, war, or covid, it has all been a joint effort. Despite all the campaign promises made by politicians of all stripes, the trend has always remained the same - government gets more intrusive and overbearing, while Americans lose their freedom and standard of living. If there really is a uniparty, who's in charge?
Politico has trotted out an "expert" on the Tea Party Movement to put forth the idea that the Tea Party was always ONLY about McCarthy, Paul Ryan, and Eric Cantor, and with the fall of McCarthy the movement is finally dead. What does Politico get wrong? Everything. Also today Ukraine "freaking out" over end to US gravy train.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is the first to throw his hat in the ring to replace Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker, as Ukraine money laundromat supporters on both sides of the aisle have gone full panic mode. Will McCarthy's defenestration signal the end of "Project Ukraine" in the US Congress? Also today, UK "out of weapons" for Ukraine and global weapons stocks are in free-fall.
Weekly Update --- A Small Continuing Resolution Victory Could Have Big Consequences by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Rep. Matt Gaetz' motion to vacate the Chair of the House Speaker is scheduled for a vote today, with the outcome for Speaker McCarthy uncertain. Leading Republicans such as Rep. Thomas Massie have criticized the move. Will it backfire? Also today: Trump on the dock as his lead increases. Finally: 'Leaked' report shows level of DC concern over Ukraine corruption.
Pro-war Democrats and Republicans in desperation pulled Ukraine money from the weekend bill to keep the government open. Backroom deals suggest Ukraine would be brought up as a straight vote on the Floor, where it might pass. But the road to more money is not as smooth as establishment politicians would like. Also today: UK defense secretary announces, then unannounces, that British troops would be sent to Ukraine. Finally: Slovakia votes "NO" on "Project Ukraine."Get your copy of Ron Paul's LATEST BOOK - "The Surreptitious Coup" - as our "thank you" for your tax-deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute. For more information: http://tiny.cc/h6nbvz
We can't say that nothing is manufactured in America. The U.S. government and the Federal Reserve are a tag-team that constantly manufacture problems for Americans. They both quickly turn around and claim they'll fix the problems that they created. But their "fixes" just end up creating new and even bigger problems! Ultimately, the problems become so numerous and so complex that the time finally comes to throw in the towel. The story of big government and central banking is always the same; massive arrogance followed by a humbling return to economic reality.
While each side is jockeying for position in political points, the fact remains that one of the main factors precipitating the coming government shutdown is the insistence by both parties to continue sending money we do not have to a losing war in Ukraine. Also today: McConnell claims sending more money to Ukraine is the "number one priority right now for the United States." Really?
Earlier we reported on Rumble's refusal to block Russel Brand at the demand of the UK government, but as Glenn Greenwald reports on X (former Twitter), Rumble not only faces being completely blocked in the UK, but its executives risk being arrested if they travel to the UK! Also today: Why did the CIA smuggle Fauci into its HQ?
While millions of Americans face the likelihood of being sent home without pay should the government shut down at the end of the month, one group of workers has no such worries: Ukrainians on the US dole! That's right: our "Representatives" in Congress and the White House are spending billions paying Ukrainian salaries and subsidizing Ukrainian businesses! Also today: Biden gives Poland $2 billion to buy more US weapons. Also: some immigrants are being deported...but you will be surprised who.Get your copy of Ron Paul's LATEST BOOK - "The Surreptitious Coup" - as our "thank you" for your tax-deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute.

According to Politico, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has backtracked on his promise to Marjorie Taylor-Greene and other conservatives to keep the Ukraine money out of the "must-pass" defense bill. Will he even be able to bring a "stop-gap" spending bill to the Floor after infuriating the rebels? Also today...Nazis in Canada? Say it ain't so! And finally: Trump +10 nationally?
It took the U.S. federal government almost 200 years to rack up $1 Trillion in debt. The latest trillion to be added took a mere 3 months! Far too many Americans have come to believe that, instead of protecting individual liberty, the U.S. government can be everything to everyone. Meanwhile, members of government have come to believe that, not only can they perform such an impossible task, but they can perform it for the entire world! This massive delusion is racing towards a massive bankruptcy.
Forget evidence, trials, or the presumption of innocence: for the UK Parliament It's "sentence first—verdict afterwards." Culture Committee Chair Caroline Dinenage sent letters to every platform commentator Russell Brand has appeared on to demand that he not be allowed to earn money from his work. Even though he has not been charged, much less convicted of a crime! Also today: Jan 6th "insurgents" were crawling with Feds. Finally: NATO dam cracks with Poland saying "hasta la vista" to Ukraine.
Santayana is credited with saying "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." New York City is considering sending a good chunk of US history down the "memory hole" by destroying statues of George Washington. Also today: Sen. Rand Paul says "no way" to more Ukraine aid; vows to block any fast-track. Meanwhile Ukraine is holding a US citizen Gonzalo Lira in prison for having a different opinion about the war and Ukraine's spokesperson threatens to "hunt down" others like Lira.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is seeing another open revolt from his conservative and populist flank among House Republicans, with firebrands Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA) stomping their feet at the "compromise" 30 day stop-gap. Ron Paul has a solution to the dust-up, so watch the show! Also today: ammo is getting very expensive and NATO promises to Ukraine may suffer. Finally...Ron Paul discusses his new book, The Great Surreptitious Coup and tells you how you can get your own copy!
After shipping some $45 billion in military equipment to Ukraine, the Biden Administration is bringing Ukrainian President Zelensky back to Washington to beg for more money. But with the war going badly for Ukraine and strong US opposition to spending more on the effort, it looks to be an uphill battle. Also today: who was the armed guy impersonating a cop at the RFK rally...and why can't RFK get Secret Service Protection? Finally...Homeland Security has a new target: you!
Those who implemented the disastrous Covid policies are now attempting to rewrite history. They appear to be betting on Americans forgetting what they did to us ever so recently. Of course, attempts to bring the tyranny back are being attempted in the usual places. Trial balloons are being floated to see if they stick. On the positive side, most Americans are not buying it this time. The word "NO" is a very popular word, and it needs to stay that way.
Yesterday, Ukraine hit targets in Crimea, damaging or destroying one kilo-class Russian sub and one landing ship. The missiles used were StormShadows from the UK and the targeting was from the US Pentagon. How soon until Russia strikes back at increasingly direct NATO/US involvement in the war? Also today: too little too late - the Pentagon suddenly develops an interest in where the money to Ukraine is going. Finally - Agent Orange 2.0? US to "defoliate" Asian jungles to prepare for war with China.
Speaker McCarthy finally bowed to pressure and, likely against his preference, launched an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Already House conservatives like Matt Gaetz are warning that Republican hands will be cuffed. What should we expect from the process? Truth? Also today, Covid tyrants are back and cancelling high school football games again. Finally, Sen. Warren wants Musk probed over failing to facilitate Ukrainian attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
In a rare successful deal with Iran, the Biden Administration secured the release of five US citizens held in Iranian prisons in exchange for the release of $6 billion in Iranian assets seized by the United States. Predictably, US Republican politicians lost their minds over the deal. Also today: Blinken green-lights Ukrainian missile strikes deep into Russia - what could go wrong? Finally: Biden's thuggish Energy Secretary strands young family so she can re-charge her electric car.
It has been 22 years since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon. The attacks launched the "global war on terror" that the neocons had been itching for. Media propaganda solidified the lie that "they attacked us because we are rich and free." And to this day there has been no national discussion as to why 9/11 happened and how we can prevent the next one. Also today: blockbuster new JFK assassination revelations and Californians are getting sticker shock on move toward reparations.
New York City Mayor Adams has gone from saying that the city would remain a "sanctuary" for migrants, to the migrant crisis is destroying New York City. Illegal immigrants for thee, but not for me?
The "vaccine" irrationality has reached comical levels. Jill Biden, who has had multiple "vaccines" and "boosters" has Covid once again. At the same time, it's been reported that the FDA is set to approve yet another "booster." To top it all off, the White House Press Secretary says "we know that these vaccines work." Who's buying any of this?
The attachment to the ideas of Liberty were so strong at America's founding, that its enemies knew it would take centuries to reverse. Authoritarians are extremely patient. Decade-after-decade, freedom is stripped away. Each generation is acclimated into being less free; never knowing the liberties that their ancestors once enjoyed. It can all be reversed, of course. Americans can always experience a renaissance of Liberty, if they want it bad enough.
When two people voluntarily agree to exchange, there's no such thing as "price gouging." It's just simply the "price." However, what tends to happen (especially during emergencies) is that buyers are not happy with the emergency "price," so they call for government to threaten (or use) force against the seller. Buyers want government to ensure them the non-emergency price, which of course, leads to shortages. Ironically, the greatest "price gouger" in society is the government itself.
Despite decades of relentless propaganda, people in general don't believe the "climate change" hysteria. It's because we're expected to believe that the weather is broken, that we the people broke it, and that government (of all people) will fix it by micromanaging our lives.
The fact that Covid authoritarians want their tyranny back is no surprise, especially since no one was held accountable for the tremendous damage inflicted on the American people the first time around. But the American people of 2023 are not the same as the American people of 2019. Many eyes have been opened. A return of covid tyranny is not a done deal.
"I'm from the government & I'm here to help," is one of the worst things you can hear. Too often, Republicans believe the government must "do something." For Democrats, it's become a creed. Politicians will certainly "do something." But be aware that the costs of their actions will ultimately overwhelm you; either right away, or in the future. Why do big governments always disappear? Because they always "do something."
Weekly Update --- A New Covid 'Variant'...Just In Time For Election Season! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Tucker Carlson gave a speech in Hungary this week where he apologized to the audience for just how undiplomatic and plain horrible is Biden's Ambassador in Budapest. The Ambassador, David Pressman, views his job not as a diplomat, but rather more like the Soviet Commissars in the days of old. Also today: Push-back against mask-mandates meets with success!
President Biden on Friday said he has sent a proposal to Congress to fund the development of a new Covid vaccine that should be taken by EVERYONE - even by those with multiple doses of the previous shots. Will America blindly follow "the science" and again sign up for jabs? Also today, CNN reports that the CIA notices Russia doing things the CIA does best...should we worry or laugh?

For many decades, the American people have been bombarded with propaganda. Yet, out of nowhere, with a guitar and microphone, Oliver Anthony exposed the Empire of Lies. Millions of Americans found out that they are not alone in their economic struggles. But even more importantly, "Rich Men North of Richmond" correctly identified the culprits. Our economic problems don't come foreign sources; but from those at home, who seek "total control."
Although he was derided by the other GOP candidates for skipping out on the first debate, Trump's decision to appear with Tucker Carlson was a fateful one. His has become the most-watched interview in history, with nearing 200 million views. The other GOP candidates have thus faded into political irrelevancy. Meanwhile...the Democrats are set to arrest and mug shot Trump today in Georgia. What's happening in America? Which Way, America? https://www.eventbrite.com/e/which-way-america-tickets-665436647927
There will be many jabs and many one-liners and many hollow promises made as eight GOP contenders - minus Trump - take the debate stage. But there are some things you are guaranteed to NOT hear tonight... Also today: Pentagon plays the blame Ukraine game.
Alex Jones was ridiculed last week when he broke the story that the Feds are preparing to bring back their mask tyranny and the other social controls they implemented using the excuse of a virus. Well it turns out Alex Jones was right again. Here and there - one college, a film studio, LA County Health tyrants - they are slowly getting the old band back together. Will it work? It will if we let them. Also today: Did you catch Doug Macgregor on Tucker yesterday?

Despite endless promises that NATO's dedication to Ukraine is unwavering, we were treated to a peek behind the mask yesterday, when the NATO Secretary General's chief of staff suggested in a newspaper interview that Ukraine might cede land to Russia in exchange for NATO membership of what's left of the country. Is Ukraine about to get thrown under the bus? Also today: Trump's numbers keep improving with each indictment...do they realize this?
As expected Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis has laid down an indictment charging the former US President with 18 criminal counts, including under the anti-racketeering act. As state indictments, these are not subject to a presidential pardon should Trump be re-elected. What is the real end-game here? Jail for Trump...or something else? Also today: Covid authoritarianism persists as another doctor is punished. Finally...while we weren't looking yesterday, Biden sent another $200 million to Ukraine!

George Washington University Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley shreds Merrick Garland's decision to appointed discredited Justice Department employee David Weiss as special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, writing recently that this means the only way to move ahead with an investigation is through the impeachment process. What's next? Also today: Biden has sent Ukraine the equivalent of $900 for EACH household in the United States!

When a government spends money it doesn't have (which is how the U.S. federal government routinely operates) that money must come from somewhere. The unconstitutional Federal Reserve often ends up printing (i.e., counterfeiting) it into existence for the government to spend. The counterfeiting of new money destroys the value of the money already in existence. Inflation is the tax. There is no free lunch; especially from government.

Oh the irony. Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland is best known for her central role in the 2014 Ukraine coup that overthrew an elected government. Now she's traveling down to Niger warning the post-coup government to return to constitutional order! Is it any wonder that no one in authority wanted anything to do with her while she was there? Also today a hysterical Nancy Pelosi proclaims that Trump being elected, “...cannot happen, or we will not be the United States of America.” Isn't that an attack on our electoral system? Indictment anyone?
The pro-war and pro-Biden CNN has just released a poll that must have been painful for them: Americans across the board, whether Democrat or Republican or independent, whether liberal or conservative, now say they do NOT approve of any further US aid to Ukraine. As Ukraine has been Biden's signature foreign policy issue, what does this mean as we move into election season? Also today - can Trump get a venue change?
This week, the U.S. federal government received a credit rating downgrade. Given the unsustainable levels of government spending and debt, as well as the skyrocketing interest payments to merely service the debt, should anyone be surprised? Endless wars and endless welfare promises come at a cost. It's obviously very easy for politicians to focus on the short-run and let future generations deal with the long-run. But the long-run always arrives, and is rarely expected.
The Biden Administration's indictment of former President Trump (again) not only smacks of desperation in the face of Biden's flaccid support. It also is blatantly totalitarian and absurd. Essentially, Trump is being threatened with jail time for believing the 2020 election was not completely above-board and for sharing his beliefs. Even those who hate Trump should be terrified at the thought of Americans being imprisoned for having "bad thoughts." Also today: Why is the US State Department ignoring the torture and illegal incarceration of American journalist Gonzalo Lira at the hands of the Ukrainian government?
Former senior advisor to President Trump's Secretary of Defense and decorated war hero Col.

As new data comes out from Gallup showing a deep American crisis in confidence in the US military, a new op-ed in the Pentagon-friendly Military.com is calling for a "limited" military draft to fill the growing gaps between projected force needs and recruitment. Are they trying to grease the skids for an upcoming military conflict with Russia and China? Also today, MSNBC thug calls for new "PATRIOT Act" against MSNBC's political enemies.
Weekly Update --- 'Facebook Files' Reveal Despicable Disregard For The Constitution by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Late last week the US Senate overwhelmingly passed another huge military spending bill while rejecting any oversight over how the money is spent. The Empire must be funded! Meanwhile US troops in Niger are nervously watching a military coup against the US-backed regime.
RFK Jr. recently pointed out that America does not have a free market, but rather a crony corporatist system. This is important an important distinction. Historically, whenever an authoritarian socialistic system fails, as they must, the blame is immediately put on the non-existent free markets. The problem in America is not our ability to voluntarily transact with one another. The problem is the persistent removal of that ability.
In today's Liberty Report we return to YOUR question in another edition of "Ask Ron Paul." Questions include - name one thing you've changed your mind about over the years. Hope you enjoy the episode!
A new Harvard/Harris poll out this week confirms last month's result from Economist/YouGov: RFK, Jr. continues to absolutely crush every opponent from either party when it comes to net favorability. After censorship and slurs, RFK manages to out-perform the MSM favorites. How does he do it and can he keep it up? Also today: Nurses dance to stop climate change and Germany blames Ukraine's losses on...Ukraine.
With Hunter Biden's business partner Devon Archer expected to testify to the GOP-controlled House on then-Vice President Biden's involvement in Hunter's very suspicious business dealings in Ukraine, House Speaker McCarthy is even starting to use the "I" word - impeachment. Would a House impeachment of Biden bring justice? Also today...the US occupation of a large part of Syria - the part with the oil - is getting more dangerous. Is it time to pull out?
Weekly Update --- Your Kid's School Went 'Woke'? Consider Homeschool by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Sometimes the most shocking mainstream media articles are the ones that are most obvious. Over the weekend the Wall Street Journal revealed that the Biden Administration knew Ukraine had little chance against Russia but pushed them to launch a counter-offensive anyway. Thousands continue to die in a war even Washington believes is hopeless. Also today: Nobel Prize-winning physicist "cancelled" for having the "wrong" opinion on climate.
The market (i.e., billions of individual decisions) cannot be defeated by decisions of the few (i.e., authoritarians, utopians and busybodies). The few can temporarily manipulate and distort the market, but it's always a fool's errand. The market ultimately reasserts itself. Blackrock tried to overpower the market with its "ESG" or Environmental, Social & Governance scheme. But the market is, once again, having the final say.
Investigative reporter Jordan Schachtel has uncovered a shocking DoD memo from earlier this year detailing the special treatment for "transgender" service members, including free "voice feminization surgery" and a de facto permanent waiver from actual military deployment! And they want to go to war with Russia and China at the same time? Also today... mega make-up brand and Country Music Television go "woke" and...you know the rest. Finally, US Senate rejects Rand Paul's amendment affirming the US Constitution!
Meta/Facebook's "Twitter Killer" social media app Threads attracted a huge level of interest when it recently launched. Unfortunately for Zuckerberg and his Meta company, traffic soon absolutely cratered. What's to blame for the failure? Also today - Pence touts his foreign policy "experience" in his GOP run - but what kind of experience?
President Trump has indicated that he is a "target" in the ongoing investigation of the events of January 6, 2022 - the "insurrection" and he anticipates being arrested under Biden's Justice Department. Is this a bridge too far? Arresting your political opponent? Also today: Slowly the MSM and Biden Administration are admitting their Ukraine plan failed.
Weekly Update --- Biden Is Calling Up Military Reserves...Are Your Kids Next? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Last night, for the second time, Ukraine has attacked the bridge connecting Crimea with mainland Russia, killing the parents of a 14 year-old girl. Last October's strike resulted in a massive barrage of Russian missiles onto Ukraine. If NATO weapons were used in the attack...what will the Russian response be this time? Also today: more on Biden's reserve troop call-up and the continuing woes of Bud Light.
The dollar fiat monetary system may soon get some desperately needed competition. The nations that make up BRICS will soon be announcing a new gold-backed currency. The printing of trillions upon trillions of dollars, and the use of the dollar system as a weapon against other nations seems to have finally reached a tipping point.
Despite Secret Service testimony to the House Oversight Committee today, the investigation into who brought cocaine into the White House has, eleven days later, been closed without any conclusion. The Administration claims they just don't know who brought it in. A compliant media seems uninterested. Also today...FBI Director Wray lies to Congress about censoring Americans.
NATO's message to Ukrainian president Zelensky at its Vilnius summit was essentially, "you keep fighting and we'll keep sending weapons. But no NATO Membership." Zelensky was furious when this became clear and he lashed out. Slowly it is becoming obvious that NATO and the US means to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian without getting their hands dirty. Next move?
In a shocking new report released by the US House Judiciary Committee, it is alleged that the FBI passed Ukrainian intelligence requests to US social media that certain accounts be silenced for "Russian disinformation." Many of the accounts were Americans exercising their First Amendment right to disagree with US government policy. Also today: Biden rejects Congressional calls for oversight on massive US wealth transfer to Ukraine.
Weekly Update --- Federal Court Makes This July 4th a True Independence Day by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Pressed by media as to why President Biden decided to send universally-reviled "cluster bombs" for Ukraine to use, the president said the quiet part out loud: "Because we're running out of ammunition." Suddenly the narrative carefully built by Biden's neocon foreign policy team has been "cluster bombed" by reality. Also today...looking ahead at the NATO summit set to kick off tomorrow.
The incentive structure of government is different than the rest of society. In a free society, without government bailouts, failure is punished. Fail to serve, or do so unprofitably, and your economic livelihood comes under pressure. Not so with the government. When the government fails, there are immediate cries for more money and power. Government wants to be rewarded! This is why the government must be very limited. The UN failed miserably during the Covid, yet here they are seeking even greater "emergency" powers.
Through the Russia/Ukraine crisis the UK government has been among the most bellicose in urging Ukraine to fight Russia to the last man. UK politicians openly talk about being "at war" with Russia. But yesterday Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, UK Chief of the Defence Staff broke the bad news to tough-talking UK: They have no tanks! They have no army! It was all just bluster! Also today, CNN puzzled by anyone opposing government censorship.
With the revelation that cocaine has been found in the White House, right-wing Twitter has exploded with speculation that the president's famously drug-addled son must have brought the party back home. No evidence thus far implicates Hunter, but given the level of surveillance in the White House shouldn't we expect to know soon who's guilty? Also today: big victory for the First Amendment and defeat for fascism in the US.
A recent Wall Street Journal article outlined the serious recruiting crisis in the US military. It's getting so bad that even among military families there is strong pressure for the next generation not to sign up. Why does no one want to serve anymore? Could it be the same "woke" virtue-signaling that is destroying major brands like Bud Light and Target? Also today: Ukraine under pressure to make failed counter-offensive work in advance of NATO summit.
Utopians never run out of pipe dreams. Whether it be "vaccine passports," or "carbon zero" or "you will own nothing, and be happy," the tyrannical ideas are always being broadcast. This is why those who cherish freedom must always be vigilant. The schemes just keep on coming. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC's) are another dystopian idea that, fortunately, many people already strongly reject. It's not hard to see why CBDC's would not only be unworkable, but would be a total disaster to humanity.
More information released by the House Oversight Committee demonstrates even more influence-peddling and possible felonies committed by Hunter Biden and the entire family. Millions coming in from foreign governments to Hunter while his father was Vice President? And the Justice Department blocked a proper investigation? Also today, RFK's big townhall - did he nail it?
Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the first candidate to offer a concrete solution to our fast-approaching nuclear conflict with Russia. It's an old solution...but it worked pretty well the first time. Also today: Tucker Carlson wonders why we are at war with Russia. Meanwhile, Biden has announced another $500 million to Ukraine. Will anyone in DC say "NO"?
Former US Secretary of State John Kerry was sent out by the tone-deaf Biden Administration to shore up condemnation of Putin over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One French journalist dared to ask the obvious question: what about when the US did it? Also today: Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley wonders why the US House is not asking "who lied" about the Hunter Biden investigation.
Weekly Update --- Weaponization Of Politics, An American Tradition by Ron Paul Liberty Report
If the weekend's attempted Wagner private military company march to Moscow was an actual coup attempt, it will go down as one of history's biggest farces. While NATO was on pins and needles hoping to see Putin defeated, the quick fizzle left them scrambling. Also today: US Rep Gaetz wants to give Biden permission to bomb Chinese troops in Cuba? Beam us up!
The Fed's raising of interest rates has big spenders in the government upset. Many years of near 0% rates have created the biggest bubble in history. The government and the people are saddled with historic debts. Of course, the big spenders want The Fed to crank the printing presses back up. This is the fate of central planning and attempting to control the economy. It cannot be done. Sound money and free markets are the only way out of this mess.
US Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) abused his position as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to push false statements that former President Trump had colluded with the Russians. "I've seen the evidence but I can't show it to you," was Schiff's repeated response. There was no evidence. So what should his punishment be? Also today - Ukraine "counter-offensive" flops...why?
Tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has thrown his hat in the ring for the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination. His youth, energy, and tech-savviness has given him a surprise boost early in the race. Today's Liberty Report will sit down with Ramaswamy to see what makes him tick. What's his vision for an American renewal?
Today's breaking news that Hunter Biden has accepted a "slap on the wrist" plea deal on gun and tax charges has ended a nearly five year investigation into the "first son." But none of the serious charges have been addressed? Is this a way to change the subject? Also today, China in Cuba? And...did Blinken blink in China?
When Covid fanatic Dr. Peter Hotez went on Joe Rogan's show last week to trash-talk Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as an anti-vaxxer kook, he may not have expected what would happen next: Rogan gave him the opportunity to put his knowledge up against RFK, with $100K going to the charity of Hotez's choice. Since then the pot has grown to $1.5 million, but Hotez continues to slink away from the opportunity. Why? Also today - most view the Trump indictment as political. Putin proves another claim to be bogus - there was a deal last year for peace. US/UK squashed it.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned this week against "decoupling" U.S. trade with China. There's an old saying that if goods don't cross borders, armies will. It should be obvious to everyone that cutting trade with China would be disastrous, and war with nuclear China would be catastrophic. America can be economically competitive again, but it's going to take a drastic reduction in the size and scope of the federal government. That's where our energies should be focused.
A new poll from The Economist and YouGov released yesterday brings more bad news for Biden, as Democratic rival RFK, Jr. surges in favorability with voters while Biden slumps. No wonder Biden refuses to debate RFK, Jr. and is desperately trying to move the first primary to a more favorable state. Also today: Did Massie fumble on the Schiff censure vote?
According to a new Wall Street Journal report, the Central Intelligence Agency warned Ukraine early last summer not to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline and Ukraine did it anyway. Instead of punishing Ukraine, however, Biden keeps sending billions. Is the story true? Or does Hersh have it right? Also today US acknowledges big Ukraine losses in counter-offensive and plans to send Ukraine depleted uranium ammo. What could go wrong?
As former President Donald faces arraignment today, the charges against him keep piling up. If convicted of all charges, he faces 400 years in prison. But what may be even more concerning to Trump and his supporters is the fact - pointed out by Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley - that even one single conviction for Trump means effectively a life sentence in prison.
Weekly Update --- The Democrats Versus Trump: A Bad Horror Movie? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The indictment of former President Donald Trump looks like something out of a banana republic. With his numbers among the lowest of any president, Biden's justice department (sic) decides to threaten his leading opponent with 100 years in prison? It's going to backfire! Also today: J6 cops were provocateurs? Finally, "mis"-gender your kid, lose your kid in Cali.
Freedom must be vigilantly defended. Each day provides an opportunity for people in power to take it away. No matter what the incident, authoritarians propagandize fear; always with the end result of them being granted more power and money. Today, it's fires in Canada. If the government doesn't "do something," we won't have a planet to live on anymore. It's up to the people to know better. Freedom must be vigilantly defended.
The Globalist WHO still clings to the idea of tyrannical "vaccine passports." But the covid "vaccine" debacle has rightfully destroyed trust in the publicly displayed "experts." Leaders of countries can pay lip service to the WHO, but this isn't 2019 anymore. The window of trust has closed.
Surviving the 2023 recession requires a combination of financial discipline, adaptability, and a proactive approach. Firstly, it is crucial to reassess your budget and prioritize essential expenses while cutting back on non-essential items. Consider reducing discretionary spending, renegotiating bills, and finding ways to save money on everyday expenses. stay informed about market trends, economic indicators, and government policies that may impact your finances. Keep a watchful eye on investment opportunities but also exercise caution and seek professional advice if needed.
A Mexican television news station has reported that a Mexican cartel operating near the Texas border has been spotted with US or Norwegian anti-tank missiles of the kind being sent to Ukraine by the boatload. Is Washington's insane Ukraine policy coming home to roost? Also today: The Taliban use US weapons in border skirmish with Iran - what could go wrong?
The increasing demands for trans group rights is destroying civil society and leading us to civil conflict. So says Wendi McElroy in a recent Mises Institute article. Is she right?

Weekly Update --- Homeschooling Is Key To Preserving Liberty by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Sen. Lindsey Graham was in Kiev over the weekend where he spoke approvingly of "dead Russians." However, some of his most incendiary comments were actually edited together by Ukrainian President Zelensky's own office to make them sound even more threatening. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones hit Moscow for the first time though no serious damage occurred. Closer we get to WWIII.
All individuals, based on their own circumstances, decide whether to save, invest, or spend their money. What each person expects to happen in the future plays an important part of the decision. This is the prime reason why trying to treat the economy as a mechanical process is fundamentally wrong. Central planners, and their use of "tools" and "models" to manipulate money always ends up in failure. Life is far too complex, and their "models" can never account for all of variables involved in each individual decision. We need sound money and free markets; not The Fed.
The second in command of Ukraine's intelligence services has admitted in an interview this week that the Ukrainian government is actively planning to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin and many of his top staff. He also pledged to kill "Russian propagandists."

Are the warmongers getting nervous? Disgraced former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was in Texas this week to lobby Republicans to continue sending billions to Ukraine.

Is inflation really 'under control'? Well, just take a look at your bills. Does it look like 4.9%? Most likely not! Government, however, is always trying to spin reality into narratives that fits its own agenda; and its agenda is to always spend more money (that it doesn't have) at artificially low interest rates. So is inflation really 'cooling'? Look at your bills. No outside "experts" needed.
At the NATO summit in Vilnius this July, the alliance will for the first time in decades approve a classified plan for war with Russia. The plan will reportedly assign specific tasks and locations to NATO country members. Is this just another escalation...or possibly a self-fulfilling prophecy? Also today: Alan Dershowitz gets one right about the Durham Report!
A new study by Brown University's Cost of War Project has estimated that post-9/11 wars launched by the west have directly and indirectly resulted in more than 4.5 million dead, most of them civilians. Also today, France, US, and UK set to begin training Ukrainians to pilot western fighter jets.
The Durham Report dropped yesterday and it's worse than we imagined. The FBI, together with the CIA and the Hillary Clinton campaign, colluded to undermine US elections and destroy the Trump presidency. What will be the next step?
Weekly Update --- Gun Control Debate Ignores The Real Problems by Ron Paul Liberty Report
In a shocking and bizarre speech at Howard University over the weekend, President Biden named "white supremacy" to be the greatest terrorist threat facing America today. For a president promising to unite America, will his divisive language resonate with voters? Also today, while Germany keeps shoveling money into Ukraine, neocons in Washington are panicking that Congress may start questioning the need to fund Ukraine for "as long as it takes."
Elon Musk's appointment of Linda Yaccarino as the new Twitter CEO have certainly produced some tweetstorms. Personnel is policy. One of former President Trump's major errors was in hiring the wrong people; individuals that were obviously working against him. It would be a big disappointment if Elon Musk ends up making the same mistakes.
Former President Donald Trump took the whole Trump show back on the road at a CNN town hall that did not at all go as CNN viewers expected. Trump brought the bombast and the humor as he danced around the landmines laid by CNN interrogator Kaitlan Collins. From election integrity to Jan. 6th to Ukraine, Trump was more than ready. What did he get right...and where was he wrong?
The US House Committee on Oversight has released a 36 page report detailing what the Republican majority claims is a history of Biden family illegal and unethical dealings over the years, accounting for millions of dollars going into the family bank accounts. Mainstream media has largely ignored today's press conference on the report. Also today: E-verify is coming for your privacy. And: Biden Admin pledges more billions to Ukraine...even if the much-hyped "counter-offensive" fizzles!
According to the New York Post, the nation's oldest newspaper is being barred from attending President Biden't public appearances, including a presser yesterday where a reported 20 seats remained vacant. The Post has been reporting on the various Biden scandals...is this retaliation? Also today: Possible breakthrough in the Assange situation? Finally: Is Congress declaring war on Mexico?
As NATO's disastrous proxy war in Ukraine continues to sputter, many in DC seem to be losing interest in "Project Ukraine." Instead of admitting the folly of interventionism, however, they are looking for bigger fish to fry. Like...war with China! Also today: Syria back in the Arab League - what does it mean? Finally...Elon Musk is in hot water and you might be surprised why.
Today's financial hardships stem first, from the Fed's unconstitutional existence, and second from the Fed's decade of near 0% interest rates and QE. Those disastrous policies created a decade's worth of bad and uneconomic investments. Rising interest rates under Powell are the cure to those very bad decisions. But the "hangover" is that all of the bad investments piled up since 2008 become exposed. Of course, there are calls to turn the printing presses back on, which are calls to perpetuate the original problem and make it even worse. The Fed has no business fixing interest rates in any direction, or counterfeiting even a single dollar, but the big blunder was 0% rates and QE. That made today's hardships inevitable.
According to a watchdog group, the Internal Revenue Service may be competing to become a new branch of the military: since 2020 the tax collector bureau has spent ten million dollars on weapons, including rifles, shotguns and ballistic shields. Feel safer? Also today, Biden's squirrelly new mortgage tax and foreign aid to teach make-up arts to transgender people overseas.
Whodunit? Two drones appear to have targeted the Kremlin just hours ago, raising the possibility that US-proxy Ukraine was trying to kill the Russian president. With Russian calls for a devastating response, who could be behind this escalation? Ukraine? Russian false-flag? US covert ops? Also today: Biden sends 1,500 active-duty US troops to the border...but what is their mission? Finally: RFK makes his policy toward Assange very clear.
Washington's old guard can help itself: when it comes to throwing endless streams of our money down a foreign boondoggle they just never refuse. Even if they promise to do so. Speaker Kevin McCarthy is backing off his "no blank check" promise when it comes to Ukraine - even after $100 billion has already been authorized! Also today: House to move to make Iran sanctions permanent and...the Navy's secret recruitment weapon!
JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon believes "the system is very, very sound" after his company takes over First Republic Bank in the second largest bank failure in US history. Should we believe him? And...how much is this "deal" going to cost US taxpayers? Also today: Ukraine Defense Contact Group is a scam. Finally - though the House voted down a bill to get out of Somalia, it's actually good news.
Just because the U.S. government has made a mockery of the term "debt ceiling" by raising it 90+ times, doesn't mean that a debt ceiling doesn't exist. A limit to debt certainly exists and judging by its actions, the government is determined to finally reach it. In practice, it's not the U.S. government that will ultimately determine what the debt limit will be. The market is always more powerful than the state, and nations across the world are divesting themselves of dollars and using other currencies at an increasing pace. The U.S. government must halt its reckless spending. The consequences of continuing down it's current path must lead to a very severe economic crisis.
The hyper-meddling US Ambassador to Hungary, David Pressman, has blasted the Hungarian government's call for negotiations and a ceasefire in Ukraine, calling it "cynical." Washington has all but declared war on Hungary for not jumping on board for the war. Also today: Without Tucker...Fox tanks! Finally: are young people returning to religious faith?
It speaks volumes about Pentagon leadership that they are, according to Politico, celebrating the end of the Tucker Carlson news program. Tucker railed against the "woke" absurdities of "leaders" like Gen Milley and they hated him for it. But he was extremely popular among those expected to actually do the fighting. Wonder why they can't meet recruiting goals? Also today, Congress looks to pass bill to ensure Ukraine victory. Finally: Fauci blames science for his own Covid failures.
Was it criticism of the Ukraine war? Jan. 6th skepticism? Pharma skepticism? Too many Democrat guests? What triggered Fox execs to fire America's top-viewed newscaster? Also today: US warships near Sudan - looking for a nice little intervention? Finally: Biden tosses his hat back into the ring for 2024 - what's Trump's reaction?
As we learn more about the collusion between the Biden 2020 campaign and former senior US intelligence officials on the Hunter Biden laptop story, it seems more and more obvious that the US "deep state" played a major role in deciding who would win the election. Is an Administration that holds "democracy summits" to lecture the rest of the world actually guilty of undermining US democracy? Also today: US Afghan inspector general warns of massive Ukraine corruption. Finally: Biden Administration officials worried that a failed Ukraine counteroffensive will end US support for the
Over the last 20 years, dollar reserves around the world have dropped from 73% to 47%. The world is clearly "de-dollarizing." Endless wars, sanctions, wokism, the questionable indictment of a former president, and a long list of unconstitutional abuses all appear to have turned off other nations. They are jumping ship and don't want to be a part of it. America was never supposed to be an empire in the first place. It's a century-old aberration. A return to a limited government that respects individual liberty is long overdue.
The Biden Administration has indicted four Americans and charged them with conspiracy to spread Russian propaganda and acting as unregistered Russian agents. The four are members of the African People’s Socialist Party, which has opposed US foreign policy since 1971. They face 15 years in prison. Also today, the Biden Administration announced another $300 million in military aid to Ukraine. Might these two stories be related? Also today, RFK announced his bid to be the Democratic Party's candidate for US president.Get your tickets to the Ron Paul Institute's June 3rd Houston Conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/they-lie-nihilism-and-the-war-on-truth-tickets-590534212727Show SponsorJust go to https://4Patriots.com and use code RON to get 10% off your first purchase of 4Patriots Survival Food.

Bloomberg has reported that the US has struck a deal to sell 400 ground-based Harpoon missiles to Taiwan, which will increase tensions with China. It looks as if, as the Ukraine war is lost, the Biden Administration - backed by Republicans - are looking for a "new" Ukraine. Also today: Peace is breaking out in the Middle East as the US is looking more and more irrelevant. Finally: Germany shoots itself in the head.

Rep. Matt Gaetz has introduced legislation to compel the Biden Administration to inform Congress of the number of US troops in Ukraine and all information about US military assistance to Ukraine.

Weekly Update --- Will the End of the Petrodollar End the US Empire? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Elon Musk tells Tucker Carlson that the U.S. government had full access to Twitter activity, including "private" direct messages. This is yet another example of government and "private" businesses working together against individual liberty. Also, why did Budweiser go woke? There have been so many examples of companies making that mistake. Why didn't Budweiser learn from them?
Artificial Intelligence" is a tool, and tools can be used for good and for bad. Central planners think AI is a key to a man-made utopia -- It certainly isn't. As with all challenges that we face with any kind of man-made tools, it comes to how much centralization and concentration of power that exists. The greater the centralization, the greater the dangers. "Artificial Intelligence" is yet another reason why it would be wise to decentralize power and speak out for a limited government with limited powers.
Seymour Hersh is back with another blockbuster investigative report, this time showing that not only is the Ukrainian government outrageously corrupt - right up to Zelensky himself - but that the CIA is well-aware of it and isn't at all bothered. Hundreds of millions are being stolen from American taxpayers, Hersh writes, and the Biden Administration could not care less. Also today, US sanctions Hungary - its own ally! And: DC think tanks furious that Syria is making peace with its neighbors.
A group of House Democrats have sent a letter to the Biden Administration demanding that all charges be dropped against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Yesterday marked his fourth year being held in the notorious Belmarsh prison in the UK, awaiting extradition to the US. In Australia and New Zealand a similar cry for his release is coming up from politicians of all stripe. Also today: FBI infiltrating Catholic Churches? Say it aint so! Finally: White House to media: 'shut up about the leaks!'
In a Sunday interview, Sen. Lindsey Graham said he believes the US should be willing to go to war with China over Taiwan. "I would be willing to fight for Taiwan," Graham said. Of course he wouldn't be doing the fighting... Also today: US sends more war ships right up to Chinese territory. Finally: Macron has a De Gaulle-ian epiphany in China and the neocons are freaking out.
Weekly Update --- Peace Is Breaking Out In The Middle East...And Washington Is Not Happy! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Over the weekend we saw the largest leak of classified US government documents since Wikileaks. Ukraine assessments. China policy. Even spying on allies. Who leaked these hundreds of highly classified US Intelligence assessments? Pentagon? CIA? Putin? Ukraine? Europe? Most importantly: why? Also today...US threatens Europe over RU sanctions and Republicans want to bomb Mexico.
The government & the country are not the same thing. When our representatives refuse to follow the law of the land, the U.S. Constitution, is it patriotic to support the breaking of these laws? When government gets the country into endless wars, without Congressional declaration, is it patriotic to support this behavior? When they take our money, and shower it across the world, is it patriotic to support it? The government (and many people) would answer all of these questions with a resounding "Yes!" But are they right?
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s filing papers to run for president yesterday has thrown a massive monkey wrench into the 2024 US Presidential campaign. Suddenly it looks like the seemingly-ailing President Biden will have a real challenger for the Democratic Party nomination. But how broad is RFK, Jr's appeal? The mainstream media's reaction is telling. Also today - Politico reports on an emerging Freedom Caucus/Congressional progressives alliance that is giving Speaker McCarthy a big headache. Good.Get your tickets to the Ron Paul Institute's June 3rd Houston Conference:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/they-lie-nihilism-and-the-war-on-truth-tickets-590534212727Show SponsorJust go to https://4Patriots.com and use code RON to get 10% off your first purchase of 4Patriots Survival Food.

As an article in Politico reports today, the Biden Administration is being "ghosted" by a China reeling from US meddling in Taiwan affairs and shooting down balloons. As China takes a more active role in the Middle East is American influence on the wane? Also today: Biden sends another couple of billion to the black hole in Ukraine while US Republican leaders claim "overwhelming" support for Ukraine in Congress.
As former President Donald Trump faces an arraignment on some 34 criminal charges, Politico reports that some Democrats are getting nervous that they've seen this movie before. Will the Manhattan DA's move against Trump be a colossal backfire? Also today: 'Don't say 'Nord Stream!' And finally, Speaker McCarthy pivots toward irritating the Chinese.
Weekly Update --- The Restrict Act Restricts More Than TikTok by Ron Paul Liberty Report
It didn't happen overnight and it didn't even begin with the Trump presidency, but there has been a coup in America. A coup of the elites against the American people. It's just getting more obvious these days. Also today: who are the winners in the Ukraine war? Finally: should we worry about Russian nukes in Belarus?
Reserve currencies come and go. They usually go because the nation that issues the reserve currency abuses the situation. Delusions of world domination, endless wars and endless welfare are embraced. These terrible ideas are then financed by money that's created out-of-thin-air. This can go on for awhile, and it usually does, but only until the rest of the world refuses to go along anymore. The U.S. fell into the empire trap a century ago, and the world is starting to say: "That's enough."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) came out swinging against a move by a fellow Republican Senator to ban the popular social media app TikTok by unanimous consent. Citing the First Amendment of the US Constitution, Sen. Paul vowed to resist any attempts to restrict the speech of Americans. Also today...US Senate (finally) votes to repeal the disastrous 2002 Iraq War authorization. And: a sneak peek into a corrupt DC court.
We learned from the "Twitter Files" that Biden Administration officials exerted tremendous pressure on US social media companies to silence and "disappear" posters with opinions the government didn't like. Now, Children’s Health Defense Director Robert F. Kennedy, Jr is doing something about it: suing those very government officials for violating the US Constitution! Also today: Why does the US keep blocking a UN investigation of the NordStream sabotage? Finally: Will AI put you out of work?
Like the PATRIOT Act after 9/11, the RESTRICT Act introduced in the Senate is using a "crisis" to decimate our core Constitutional liberties. The bill gives any presidential administration the power to simply end any social media company it deems a "national security threat." Also today: US pressuring Europe to break with China - will it work?
Weekly Update --- The Best Way To Protect US Troops In Syria by Ron Paul Liberty Report
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted over the weekend that US sanctions on Iran are not "changing behavior" of the government in Tehran, but vowed to strengthen the measures anyway. Sanctions don't work? Sanction harder! Also today: US staying in Syria regardless of escalation. And...why were the cops egging Jan 6th protesters to go into the Capitol?
With bank failures occurring once again, the topic of "fractional reserve banking" is getting some much needed attention. How do banks work in the current "system"? Is it how banks should work? Banking is a legitimate and valuable service. However, when banks work in collusion with government, it produces nothing but trouble. Business and government must be kept separate. Banking is certainly not an exception.
Legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh is back with another blockbuster claim: The strange visit of the German chancellor to DC was to brief him on a CIA cover story meant to distract from Hersh's claims that Biden green-lighted the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines! Also today: Why is Washington so uninterested in China's plan for peace in Ukraine? Finally - 20 years later some Republicans still cannot let go of the use of force authorization.
The takedown of a US unmanned aerial vehicle near Crimea earlier this month may signal that Russia has had enough of US involvement in the Ukraine war. But Washington keeps pushing for new "wonder weapons" to be fast-tracked to Ukraine. How much further can DC push before a big push-back? Cluster bombs, Patriot missiles, and Abrams are all being readied for transport. This time will new weapons turn the tide?
Today's historic visit of China's newly-re-elected Premier, Xi Jinping, to Russia further solidifies what would have hardly been imaginable not long ago: A strong Russia/China alliance against the US and its satellites in the EU. How did Biden bungle this so badly? Also today: Another day, another hundred million for Ukraine. Finally: Iraq war 20 years later - Washington has learned nothing.
Weekly Update --- Are Bank Failures A Sign Of More Trouble Ahead? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
In what increasingly looks like the politicization of justice, last week saw the International Criminal Court (not recognized by the US) indict Russian president Vladimir Putin for allegedly sending children out of the Ukraine war zone and this week former President Donald Trump says he may be arrested and charged with a "crime" that looks very shaky. Also today: US says "no ceasefire" for Ukraine. And finally...about that drone.
Americans are "taught" that government regulations (beyond the punishment of force or fraud) are necessary. Yet, the more government "rules" there are (and there are more than can even be enforced) the more the citizens find out that the regulations are largely an illusion. Whether it's "vaccines" or banking, or any other major debacle; it's time to put an end to the tool that Big Corporations use to create extraordinary advantages for themselves. It's time that Big Corporations have no choice but to compete in a free market. Unlike politicians and bureaucrats, the free market can't be bribed, bought or lobbied. Big Corporations hate the free market, and they're very pleased that the average American is "taught" to hate it too.

Florida Governor and presumptive Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis shocked the GOP establishment with a statement rebuking further involvement in the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Suddenly a neocon paper like the Washington Post are panicking about a new "isolationist" GOP. Also today, what about that US drone brought down near Russia? Finally: another Covid-related scandal.
President Biden's attempt to reassure Americans that the US banking sector is doing just fine had the opposite effect: banking stocks plunged after he spoke. Will his bailout-that-isn't-a-bailout shore up the economy or are we heading for 2008 on steroids? Also today, another antiwar rally to hit DC this weekend. Finally: House Republicans take aim at domestic spying of Homeland Security Department.
Weekly Update --- House Democrats Attack Messengers In 'Politicization Of Government' Hearing by Ron Paul Liberty Report
With successful brokering by China, Saudi Arabia and Iran have set aside years of enmity and proxy war to restore relations. Suddenly the United States seems irrelevant in the Middle East. Also today: Cracks developing in US/Ukraine alliance. Finally: Medical schools go "woke" - what it means for your health.
Government likes to spend money that it doesn't have. The Fed accommodates government by creating new dollars out-of-thin-air, which is as unconstitutional as it gets. When government spends this counterfeited money, it creates massive economic distortions. Unviable businesses are started. Houses and buildings are built that shouldn't be built. Risky debts are piled up. The temporary cure to this government spending & Fed counterfeiting disease is recession. The permanent cure is to End The Fed.
On Tuesday the New York Times published an incendiary story - based on anonymous Biden Administration officials - that the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines was carried out not by the US military, as Seymour Hersh has discovered, but rather by Ukrainian forces not associated with President Zelensky. Why put out such a transparently bogus counter-narrative? Many reasons. Also today: more revelations about Fauci's malfeasance come out in House Covid hearings. Finally - what does yesterday's Syria vote mean?

Weekly Update --- The Federal Reserve’s Magic Trick: Big Tech by Ron Paul Liberty Report
New information coming from Congressional investigations reveals that a group of scientists initially concerned that Covid may have come from a lab-leak were "prompted" by Fauci to refute that theory. They later got millions in grants! Also today: massive UK scandal reveals callous disregard over government lockdown policies. Finally: Homeland Security is running domestic intelligence-gathering operations...just like Ron Paul warned from the beginning.
The market is always more powerful than governments, central bankers, oligarchs and ideologues. Of course, these groups do not like this fact, and are always hatching schemes and scams to try to overpower the market. ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) policies are the latest iteration of politicizing the economy. It too will go down in defeat.
In a near-overwhelming vote, the US House of Representatives voted to maintain the "2019 Cesar Syria Civil Protection Act," a bill imposing additional sanctions on the Syrian people. The iron fist was hidden in a velvet glove, however, which we will explain in today's program. Also today: Biden sees continued decline in support for his Ukraine policy. And...the UN has a "brilliant" plan to block out the sun. What could go wrong?
The Republican-led US House of Representatives has agreed to allow the January 6th "insurrection" defendants to have access to the thousands of hours of security footage taken that day. Will the truth about January 6th finally come out? Also today, Pentagon assures Congress no Ukraine weapons being diverted...while US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan warns the same mistakes are being made in Ukraine as Afghanistan. Finally...FBI agrees that Covid likely leaked from Wuhan lab...but who funded Wuhan lab?
It was one of the most heavily-censored views in the United States. Anyone suspecting the Covid virus had escaped from a (US-funded) Chinese lab was "racist" and had to be silenced on mainstream and social media. Suddenly the Biden Administration admits it's probably true. Thus we see the danger of censorship: it doesn't combat disinformation...it destroys truth. Also today: Hungary demands an investigation into the Nord Stream attack. Finally: Drones fall deep into Russian territory...is the CIA behind the targeting?
Following the Washington, DC antiwar rally last week, similar - and much larger - protests are breaking out in London, Berlin, Paris and across European capitals. New opinion polls in Germany show that most oppose more German involvement in Ukraine. Is the tide turning? Also today, David Stockman writes on Biden's desire for nine more Ukraines! Finally: What did the "experts" get right about Covid?
While economically suffering at home, Americans are being plundered to finance Ukraine's war against Russia to the tune of over $100+ BILLION so far. Meanwhile, the U.S. government plans to increase the number of US troops training Taiwanese forces. Absolutely none of this has anything to do with defending America, or protecting our safety. It does, on the other hand, ratchet up tensions with Russia and China, both of which are major nuclear powers.
An opinion piece in the New York Times proclaims what many have known from the very beginning of the Covid debacle: "Mask Mandates Did Nothing." While this statement is true, the full story is actually much worse. Mask mandates did incredible damage! The unconstitutional interference of government in our personal health decisions was not only extraordinary, it was extraordinarily wrong!
Everyone has their own beliefs and opinions. But when government is used as a tool to force one's own beliefs and opinions onto others, a conflict immediately occurs. No one wants to be on the receiving of a forced ideology. Freedom is the antidote to this. People with different ideologies can voluntarily live side by side. Government's proper role is to protect freedom; not force ideology.
Weekly Update --- The Inflation And Tax Assault On The American People by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Ron Paul takes your questions via Twitter. Tune in to this special episode of The Ron Paul Liberty Report!
The Rage Against The War Machine rally was held at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on Feb. 19, 2023...the anniversary of the Ukraine War.
Government spending money that it doesn't have, that the Federal Reserve counterfeits, causes prices to soar. While dollars lose their value, the idea of an arbitrary and undefinable "living wage," can seem attractive. After all, who doesn't want "free" money? But government spending even more money that it doesn't have, that the Fed counterfeits, would only drive up prices even further. The government's 'solution' to the problem the government created, would only create bigger problems!
A new AP/NORC poll shows that support among Americans - of all political persuasion - for continued involvement in the Russia/Ukraine war continues to crater, suggesting increasing political risk for politicians who continue to toe the Biden Administration line. Also today: UN Security Council will take up allegations that the US blew up Nord Stream pipeline. Finally: A secret Fauci meeting on natural immunity? Damar Hamlin declines to say what stopped his heart.
Weekly Update --- How We Can Stop The Coming War With Russia by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Amidst salacious talk about extraterrestrials and UFOs the media fed into the government hype about balloons flying across the United States - a "crisis" that coincidentally dropped just as a devastating investigative report revealed how the US blew up the Nordstream pipeline. Now US officials are saying the balloons were "benign." Nothing to see here. Also today: Tracking the unvaxxed and US runs out of missiles for Ukraine.
Former NSA whistleblower has gone on record accusing the US government of engineering the "balloon wars" scare to detract attention away from Seymour Hersh's explosive investigative report detailing how the US White House plotted and blew up the Nord Stream pipelines - an act of terrorism or war against Russia and Germany. Also today: wasting millions to shoot down phantom balloon "threat." And US to send propaganda special forces into Ukraine.
India has refused to jump in with the US/NATO war on Russia, which is partly being fought with energy sanctions. As a result, India has emerged as a major player on the global energy scene - buying cheap Russian oil, refining it, and selling at a large mark-up to Europe and the US. Also today: Fauci tells the truth. And finally: What's the State Department up to with its "disinformation" dollars?
Americans have a lot of rethinking to do when it comes to the role of government. Its legitimate function is to protect the liberty of each individual. But over the last 100 years, government has shifted to treating people, not as individuals, but as members of groups, and then using force to dispense privileges to favored groups. Everything is politicized, and the goal of each group is to gain control of the levers of power. This isn't progression, but regression.
Legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a blockbuster report on last year's attack on the Nord Stream pipeline. Though at the time, US mainstream media and neocons blamed Russia for attacking its own pipeline, Hersh lays out in detail how the US government, in a covert operation, blew it up. What's next? Also today, Ukraine war is McCain's legacy.
Like the scene in the (prophetic?) film Idiocracy, the US Congress became a madhouse during Biden's State of the Union speech last night. Jeers, foul language, etc., marked an event that once took place under proper decorum. How did we get to this point? Also today: US mainstream media narrative on Ukraine is shifting...big time! What does it mean?
Ron Paul is speaking at Anarchapulco. The Liberty Report will return on Wednesday. Please enjoy this classic speech from Daniel McAdams at Mises, Lake Jackson, in 2019.

The U.S. has the largest government spending problem of any government in history - over $31 trillion in debt (just for starters). Playing around with tax policy may work politically, but it will not solve the spending problem. Will America end the empire and bring the troops home? Will it curtail the massive welfare state for corporations & individuals? Will The Fed be shut down so that it can't print dollars and destroy their value? The spending problem will not be fixed if the answer to any of those questions is 'No.'
Although the narrative pushed by the US government and propped up by the mainstream media is that "Ukraine is winning," in a recent classified briefing to Congress the Pentagon is singing a very different tune. As the Biden Administration continues up the escalation escalator, shouldn't the American people hear what military experts really believe? Also today: Why F-16s? And...when a medical school goes "woke."
Yesterday the Biden Administration announced yet another military aid package to Ukraine including yet more powerful weapons. This comes as a new PEW Poll shows that Americans increasingly believe that the US is doing too much to help Ukraine. Also today: The US government investigates its massive aid transfers to Ukraine and finds no misuse of funds. Shocker!
A US Pentagon agency has released photos and details of the loading and shipment of Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine for the purpose of fighting Russia. While obviously such shipments can be tracked by governments, including by Russia, does it seem odd that the Biden Administration seems to almost be bragging about the long journey through international waters? Also today, a sad time for the once-neutral Swiss. Finally: a Med Student speaks out against his profession's response to Covid.
Weekly Update --- The Real Disinformation Was The 'Russia Disinformation' Hoax by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The latest "Twitter Files" release was a bombshell, detailing how a group of neocons got together to falsify information about "Russian disinformation" in 2016 to demonize Donald Trump and help Hillary Clinton. It turns out there was election interference...but it wasn't the Russians it was the neocons. Also today: warhawks exaggerating the China threat. Finally...a good news story from Gallup.
If government lies about Covid and the vaccines, lies about the reasons for wars and how the wars are going, do you think it tells the truth about inflation? If government almost completely ignores the Constitution (which is the 'Law of the Land' that they all swear to obey) are you surprised that your cost of living is skyrocketing way beyond what the government claims? You shouldn't be.
Less than a day after the US and Germany agreed to give heavy tanks, Ukraine's president Zelensky again upped the stakes, demanding F-16s and long-range missiles that can strike deep inside Russia. US officials remain confident that Russia will not respond to the steady escalation. What if they're wrong? Also today: China goes to Africa with briefcases instead of bombs. Finally...another Project Veritas sting shows the truth about Pfizer.
With the sudden about-face of the US and Germany on sending heavy tanks to Ukraine, the world finds itself bizarrely transported back in time to WWI or WWII. German tanks with iron crosses returning to the very ground they were expelled from in 1945. History repeats itself. First as tragedy, then as farce. Also today: GOP kicks two Dems off of Intelligence Committee - do they have a point? And...does anyone in government NOT have classified documents at home?
A massive scandal has rocked all levels of government in Ukraine, from local mayors all the way up to the Minister of Defense. Bribe-taking and outright theft appears to have infected the entirety of Ukraine's ruling class. But who is really guilty in this scandal? Also today - shocking revelations about George Soros' early promotion of NATO expansion. Finally - just like Pelosi, Speaker McCarthy is set to poke China by traveling to Taiwan.
The Wall Street Journal has published a blistering takedown of vaccine manufacturers and the Biden Administration for what it claims is a deceptive campaign to push bivalent Covid vaccine boosters. Meanwhile Elon Musk breaks his silence about his horrible reaction to the shots and a relatively unvaccinated Africa has surprisingly (or not) far fewer covid deaths. Finally...is Rand right on Biden's Document-gate?
Once again, a globalist meeting has taken place in Davos, Switzerland this week. Of course, one terrible idea after another was propagated. The world and all of humanity is not meant to be micromanaged by a group rich individuals with access to the levers of power. Yet that is what globalists want to achieve. The people of the world must be very vigilant in protecting their individual liberty.
The New York Times is reporting that the Biden Administration is considering giving Ukraine the tools and the green light to attack Russia in Crimea, surmising that a lack of Russian escalation to this point means they will similarly not respond to a US-backed attack. What could go wrong?
The Biden Administration has just announced that it must dig into weapons it had stored in Israel and South Korea to shovel into the black hole known as Ukraine. Meanwhile the US Secretary of Navy has said that the US Administration is soon going to have to decide whether to arm Ukraine or arm the US. Also today...Biden's lawyers are back in court trying to reinstate the airline mask mandate!
Weekly Update --- Isn't It Time For Adam Schiff To Be Expelled From Congress? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
US Congress Member Sheila Jackson-Lee has introduced legislation making it a federal hate crime for white people (and white people only) to criticize or "vilify" any racial minorities. It is tempting to laugh at such tomfoolery, but attacks on the First Amendment must all be taken seriously. Also today: Spooks come clean, admitting they knew all the time the Hunter Biden laptop story was genuine. And...here we go again with Leana Wen...
President Biden has now had four separate tranches of classified documents discovered from when he left the Vice Presidency in 2017. With each new "discovery" his Democrat allies increasingly warn he is in trouble. Why the turn against him? Also today: Thoughts on MLK. Finally - will McCarthy get the Jan 6th tapes released...and what will they show?
It's been reported that the Biden Administration is considering a nationwide ban on gas stoves. Keep in mind that the U.S. government (via the military empire) is amongst the biggest polluters on the planet. There isn't even the slightest desire to change that by bringing the troops home, stopping the endless wars, and closing the 1,000 military bases around the world. Does the biggest polluter even believe its own climate propaganda? Why does it insists on further imposing mandates on us?
Is this peak Zelensky worship? US Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), who famously yelled out to President Obama "you lie" during a speech, has introduced legislation that would spend taxpayer money to create a bust of Ukrainian President Zelensky and to place it in a prominent position in the US Capitol...forever. Also today, nothing will change in the military budget because the re-treads who have squandered our money have been put back into positions of Congressional power.
President Biden's University of Pennsylvania think tank has been illegally in possession of classified documents from when Biden was vice president. The same media cheering raids on Trump's house for the same "crime" are strangely silent this time. Also today: The US military has finally cancelled its Covid vax mandate...but is the damage already done. Finally: Step away from that gas stove!
A new Twitter Files release confirms the deep corruption of many government and former government officials. For example, former FDA Director and current Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb is exposed as having used the influence of his former position in government to benefit his current position at Pfizer. His aim was to push for harder lockdowns and to silence any debate on natural immunity. Also today: is the US House in order? Does the tiny "reduction" in military spending have any chance with neocon hawks flexing on the Floor?
Weekly Update --- Trump's Tax Returns Show Evil Of The Income Tax by Ron Paul Liberty Report
US Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has been assured a place - if not Chair - of a new Congressional Committee to get to the bottom of US law enforcement and intelligence agencies' involvement in US internal politics. Will this new "Church Committee" help drain the deep state swamp? Also today: Does McCarthy bring vision to the 118th Congress? Here's his opening agenda. Finally: Is it true that House Republicans will reduce the military budget?
Voluntary markets and civil society unite, while power and politics divide. The more power, the more politics, and the more division throughout society. Political power was designed, and meant to be, decentralized in America. Problems are always best solved locally. They also tend to remain local when a giant apparatus of compulsion can't impose itself on everyone. We Americans have a lot of re-thinking to do, if we really want to rid ourselves of all the unnecessary division.
After a night of hard talk and compromise, House Speaker aspirant Kevin McCarthy is hoping that the latest round of concessions to the rebels will finally push him over the finish line. What are the concessions and are any of them any good? We'll break them down in today's program. Also today: under the radar, big things are happening in Syria.
The increasingly bloody Speaker war in the US House means there are only Members-elect, no actual Members of the US House of Representatives. Far from gaining ground, it looks like one-time presumptive Speaker Kevin McCarthy is actually losing ground after failing on three votes. What's next? Also today: Latest Twitter Files shows social media was US spook playground
As Republicans are reportedly bruising themselves up behind closed doors over who will be the next Speaker of the House, one thing is certain: today the Pelosi Era in Congress is over. What will be her legacy? Also today, did Trump's Chairman of the Joint Chiefs commit treason? Finally, what does the major Ukraine rocket strike on Russian forces mean for US security?
Tomorrow a (slim) Republican majority will take control of the US House of Representatives. Unknown is whether former Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will get the needed 218 votes among the 222 House Republicans. What's at stake? Also today, will admitted liar George Santos end up being the most truthful Member of the House? Finally - most Americans want the FBI investigated. Will a Republican House be up to the task?
Journalists are supposed to inform the public. That is the job of what has been referred to as the Fourth Estate. They are supposed to expose the crimes of the state against the people. But something is very wrong with our mainstream media. Journalists and their institutions have upended their traditional roles and decided to side with the political power against the people. We are just beginning to see the ugly truth with the release of the Twitter Files, but more importantly in the mainstream media reaction to what should be the biggest story of the century: silence.

The Always Relevant "What if..." Speech -- And Now It's Ukraine by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The terrible "progressive" idea that the U.S. government is meant to manage the lives of American citizens (along with the world at large) has failed as expected. Towards the end of failed arrangements, the ambitious scramble to grab whatever they can, while they can. It seems like we've reached that point, doesn't it?
The Paul's are big family. What's it like getting together for Christmas? Carol and Kelley Paul shared their thoughts about it last year. We hope you enjoy it again!
Weekly Update --- ‘Twitter Files’ Make it Clear: We Must Abolish the FBI by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Ukraine's president, Vladimir Zelensky, made a surprise visit to Washington, DC, today, where he is expected to "discuss strategy" with President Biden and to address the US Congress. While Congress has just topped up Biden's latest Ukraine request to $47 billion, the AP is reporting that Zelensky's message is going to be "that's not enough!" Both Party leaders whole-heartedly support giving Ukraine "whatever it takes" as Americans face runaway inflation and recession.
The "must pass" omnibus bill ramps spending to the outer limits as Democrats face loss of power in the House in January. Packed full of warfare-welfare state spending, the disgusting mess is symbolic of the decline of the US Congress as a legitimate legislative body. Also today: US missiles striking Russian territory...what could go wrong? Thank you for your tax-deductible, year-end support: http://ronpaulinstitute.org/support/
Outspoken Members of the Incoming US House Republican majority have warned the FBI that subpoenas and hearings will be high on the agenda in the next Congress. This after the latest release from the Twitter Files shows direct contact between the Bureau and the pre-Musk social media company. Also today: House Democrats warn Facebook to keep censoring opinions they don't like. And...military-industrial complex runs wild at Ukraine's DC party.
Birch Gold Rep, Phillip Patrick joins us once again to discuss the Federal Reserve manipulation economic disaster in the making. Central planning has failed again. When it's time to remake the monetary system, with sound money finally make its triumphant return.
As opposition to Washington's Ukraine blank check mounts, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has signaled that the next huge check - nearly $38 billion - will be conveniently hidden in a year-end, must-pass omnibus bill. It's a way to keep the gravy train flowing while sparing Members the inconvenience of having to face voters. Also today...White House to send more troops into Ukraine. What could go wrong?
Yesterday CNN reported that the Biden administration has decided on a significant escalation in Ukraine: providing Kiev with the most advanced US missile defense system, the Patriot Missile system. The missiles have a longer range and a much higher price tag. Russia has vowed to take them out if deployed in Ukraine. Will NATO troops be operating the complex systems? If so...then what?
The sudden and surprising arrest of FTX mega-scammer Sam Bankman-Fried in the Bahamas has perplexed some of America's top legal minds. Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley is shocked that he was nabbed just before he was set to testify (and further incriminate himself) before the US House Financial Services Committee (Chaired by SBF's old friend Maxine Waters). Politics? Oh, there's also a Ukraine angle.
The London Times newspaper reported on Friday that the US has given Ukraine the "green light" to fire missiles deep into Russian territory, reportedly based on lack of Russian response to previous provocations. Are the neocons-in-charge determined to destroy the world? Also today: US sends 'biggest arms dealer' back to Russia? And: Why the new military budget is a massive waste of money.
The fiat monetary system is built on trust in counterfeiting central banks. One should never trust a counterfeiter, so naturally, governments and central banks don't trust each other. They buy gold while and claiming that gold is no longer money. They know that if the counterfeiting goes to extremes, gold will re-enter the monetary system. When the choice is between depreciating paper or gold, people ultimately reach for the gold.
On a bipartisan basis the US Congress shoveled tens of billions of dollars into the already severely bloated 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The goal is to further provoke Russia and China to war, while further enriching the military-industrial complex. We'll have the good, bad, and the ugly in today's Liberty Report.
The "former" FBI Agent at the center of the bogus "Russiagate" operation was brought on by Twitter's previous management, where he played a key role in suppressing the Hunter Biden bombshell. Musk decided to release the internal communications of "old" Twitter around the censorship and that same "former" FBI agent was caught red-handed removing the evidence before it could be released!
The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case brought by a Colorado website designer who publicly opposes catering to same-sex marriages. Is the issue group rights, property rights, or freedom of speech vs. compelled speech? Also today: A third Ukraine drone strike inside Russia raises questions about escalation. How much was Washington involved?
Weekly Update --- The ‘Twitter Papers’ Reveal the Totalitarians Among Us by Ron Paul Liberty Report
As the threads of "Twittergate" continue to unravel, one common theme continues to be the role of the FBI - both current and former members - in the scandal. From phony Russiagate to suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop just before the election, the FBI is front and center in the operation. Also today: Are weapons for Ukraine surfacing in west Africa?
Authoritarians struggle to get in control of as much as possible (schools, media, political parties, entertainment, etc.). They must believe that if they control it all, that their ideology will "win." But it's just not true. Freedom is the opposite. Freedom just needs a few small (often imperceptible) openings, and it prevails. ESG is an attempt to control the economy with an authoritarian political ideology. Freedom is already starting to burst right through it.
Taking advantage of NATO's defense umbrella, the Latvian Foreign Minister stated yesterday that Ukraine should be free to bomb targets deep inside of Russia, stating that NATO members "should not fear" any escalation. That these weapons are primarily made in the USA apparently means little to little Latvia. Also today: is Poland salivating over western Ukraine? Finally: as Congress races to shovel more money into Ukraine, a new poll shows Americans could not care less.
At the NATO foreign ministers summit in Bucharest this week, Member states talked tough about endless support for Ukraine "whatever it takes." They also reiterated a 2008 pledge to eventually welcome Ukraine as a Member. Are they serious? Also today: Biden's neocons are reportedly considering sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine despite Russian warnings that it would be a major escalation. How far will they go?
Five major mainstream media outlets, including the New York Times, have issued a letter calling the US Administration to drop the charges against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Assange has been a political prisoner in the UK since 2019. Also today: Twitter announced an end to its Covid "misinformation" policy...and the White House freaks out. Also: More demands from global welfare queens in Ukraine.
No longer fearing the wrath of a Republican-controlled Senate, Tony "The Science" Fauci is settling into his post-retirement gig: making the rounds on mainstream news outlets hectoring Americans about taking more boosters. He's even threatening that schools might "need" to be shut down again. Also today: Republicans in the House call for MORE long-range missiles to Ukraine. Finally, Liz Cheney accused of politicizing the January 6th Committee.
What are the greatest threats to liberty today? Attacks on freedom of speech and expression. Watch Ron Paul's speech at the Ron Paul Institute Conference - 'Shut Up! Cancel Culture and the War on Speech' - earlier this month.

Weekly Update --- Is Washington’s Dangerous Ukraine Boondoggle Starting to Unravel? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Dr. Paul again takes questions from our viewing audience, including one on how the country might be different had the US never gone off the gold standard. Some good lessons and interesting commentary.
Incoming Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has vowed to put "confronting China" at the top of his agenda as speaker. Washington Neocons cannot survive without an enemy. Also today, Daniel Larison lays out what a President DeSantis foreign policy may look like...and it ain't pretty. Are neocons firmly back in the driver's seat?
Last week's false Ukraine assertion that Russia had attacked Poland was a big wake-up call for many. Some European media outlets flatly declared Ukraine's president Zelensky to be "dangerous." With another $50 billion in the pipeline, will Washington finally blink and stop the war madness? Former CIA Officer Phil Giraldi joins today's Liberty Report.
Those who could never "structure" the world, have no chance of "restructuring" it. Those who could never "set" our world in place, have no chance of "resetting" it either. The idea that human beings (or their technologies) can control the world and everything in it, is both illogical and dangerously irrational. The problem is not in proving why ideas like the "Great Reset" cannot work. That's the easy part. The problem is in limiting the amount of economic damage and human suffering that such reckless pursuits needlessly cause.
One thing you will not see is the mainstream media looking into failed crypto-exchange/ponzi scheme FTX. Why? It's founder, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was the second largest Democrat Party donor after George Soros. SBF's parents were part of the financial deep state. And, to top it all, FTX was involved in sending millions of dollars to Ukraine. If this were a Republican scheme, the NYT and WaPo would be all over it, but because it was to the benefit of the Democrats and Ukraine, it remains just a...conspiracy theory.
After a Ukrainian S-300 missile struck Polish territory - killing two civilians - the Ukrainian president immediately claimed that Russia attacked a NATO member country and that NATO must act without hesitation against Russia. In other words, launch WWIII. Was he lying? Meanwhile, a lame duck Congress is expected to vote another possibly $50 billion for the bottomless Ukraine money pit. Will Republicans finally stand up?
Writing in Responsible Statecraft today, Connor Echols effectively makes the depressing case that no matter which party controls Congress, it's always the war party in the driver's seat. Also today: So...the FBI had infiltrated the "Jan. 6th insurrectionist" groups months before Jan. 6th? What did they know and when did they know it? Also...what happened to the antiwar left?
It has been nearly a week since 2022 election day in the US. Despite the endless propaganda that "vote counting takes time," the fact is there is no reason why hundreds of thousands of votes still have not been counted. Anomalies abound. What's broken and how can it be fixed?

Weekly Update --- Hey Incoming Congress: Try These Three Simple Tricks for a Successful Start by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Ukrainian parliamentarians are set to descend on Capitol Hill to make sure newly-elected US Representatives and Senators continue to shovel endless dollars into their black hole. The irony is that the trip to lobby us for MORE money is paid for in the first place by OUR money! Also today: this week's election makes it clear that a national divorce is needed...but the Fed's tyranny keeps all of us shackled together whether we like it or not.
Yesterday's midterm elections have left us with more questions than answers. How could Republicans have blown it so badly given the level of voter dissatisfaction across-the-board? How could Republican Congressional leadership have botched their message so badly? How did so many weak candidates emerge in key races like for the Pennsylvania Senate? How can we continue to pretend we are a first-world country with a voting system that is completely dysfunctional? Where to now?
With polls suggesting a Republican victory in the House and Senate today, the mother of all battles seems to be brewing between old-guard Republican leadership which favors endless money for Ukraine and a populist/conservative wave that is increasingly skeptical. GOP voters are trending strongly away from Ukraine support. Who will win? Also today: what to think while voting, and finally...a new US base in Syria!
The US government announced that it's sending half a billion dollars worth of guided multiple launch rocket systems near Finland's border with Russia. The escalation and out-of-control spending continues. The Pentagon argues that the move will "support the foreign policy and national security of the United States." Also today, US HIMARS missiles are said to have hit a major dam in Ukraine and US progressives have found a new foreign policy home...with the neocons!
President Biden delivered a speech from Union Station in DC - a once-thriving marketplace that is now empty - that smacked of desperation. He avoided mentioning the economy - which polls show concerns Americans the most - and instead focused on the "dangers to democracy" if his party does not win the midterm elections in a few days. He again trotted out the January 6th "insurrection" as his proof. Will it fly? Also today, realizing the economic price they are paying for Russia sanctions, a new poll shows UK citizens souring rapidly.
Faced with French Government demands that free-speech video platform Rumble censor Russian news channels, the company's CEO simply said "no." No more Rumble for France. It's a brave example of how to resist "cancel culture." Also today: US weapons to Ukraine continue to end up in the hands of criminals. And: Anti-sanction parties surge in Germany and Austria - is the backlash gathering steam
An amazing investigative report from The Intercept has brought "the receipts" proving the deep - and corrupt - relationship between the US Department of Homeland Security and social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter. Government agents actually had special access to directly request takedowns of any posts at odds with Biden Administration policy on a range of issues from Covid to Afghanistan to Ukraine. Will the next Congress investigate this shocking attack on the First Amendment?
Ukrainian president Zelensky has warned US Republicans that if they win next week Ukraine needs more than just weapons. Ukraine also needs cold, hard cash to pay its bills. Ukraine's endless demands even irritated President Biden, according to a new article on CNBC. Also today: Covid tyranny aftershocks continue, with Dr. Peter McCullough continuing to be stripped of his licenses...for telling the truth. Finally: 60 years ago we almost saw nuclear war. Cooler heads prevailed. Today we are back...without cooler heads.
Democrats are struggling to redirect the blame for inflation off of Biden. They should put the blame where it belongs -- on The Federal Reserve! Instead, Democrats have decided to go with a dead end misdirection. They're trying to blame "corporate greed," which is an illogical waste of time that further bamboozles anyone who believes them. The problem of inflation will never be corrected until enough people understand that the source is always The Federal Reserve.
After relentlessly pushing "woke" ideology and "cancel culture," Netflix, Facebook, and many other media and social media companies are now experiencing the wrath of the masses, as they shed value at an astonishing pace. Are we at "peak woke"? Why is Facebook trying to "cancel" the Ron Paul Institute? Will Elon Musk help turn the tide back to free expression? Also today: election funny business in Pennsylvania? Finally: Finland eyes nukes aimed at Russia. Good idea?
New York State Supreme Court Judge has ruled that the city of New York must reinstate all 2,000 workers fired for refusing the Covid shot WITH back pay. The city's termination of the employees was "arbitrary, and capricious." Also today: US military personnel are blowing the whistle on their own vax mandate. Finally: House Progressives apologize and rescind their letter begging for a bit of diplomacy before launching WWIII.

How it started: 30 Members of the House Progressive Caucus penned a relatively timid letter to President Biden suggesting a bit of diplomacy before we march to WWIII. How it's going: The House Progressive Caucus almost immediately began furiously backpedaling from their own letter. Meanwhile the US 101st Airborne is in Poland and "ready to fight." Also today - MSNBC pundit: if you worry about inflation, you might be pro-Hitler. What?
Businessman Blake Masters has run an underdog race for the US Senate against former astronaut Mark Kelly. He has openly embraced the free market, foreign policy restraint...and Donald Trump. As Masters gains on the establishment-favored Kelly, the Arizona Senate race may be bellwether for what to expect in the midterms just weeks away.

More and more people are realizing the absurdity of "getting rid of fossil fuels," and don't find the idea of "eating the bugs" as appetizing. We work to bring home the bacon, not the insects. The ideas of "woke capitalism" and "climate finance" are crushing our standard of living and many U.S. states are now fighting back against it.
With the CDC poised to add the covid shot to the schedule of childhood immunizations, today is a good opportunity to reflect on how those who once garnered the most trust in our society have become some of the worst among us. How to move forward when that trust is gone? Also today, it's Christmas every day for defense contractors, as Congress rushes to shovel massive amounts of money to "defeat Russia" in Ukraine.
As several major polls show Americans are shifting dramatically away from supporting Ukraine, GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy has said that shoveling yet more money to Kiev will not be automatic should control of the House shift after the November elections. This as many Republican up-and-coming candidates are running explicitly on shutting down the money spigot to Europe's most corrupt country. Also today: why are so many retired senior US military officers bathing in Saudi cash? Finally: US Senate opens the money spigot to Taiwan even wider.
Even as uptake for the new Covid shots hovers around zero, the CDC is not giving up. For an announced Thursday meeting of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), one CDC official announced a vote on adding the shot to the child immunization schedule - a backdoor mandate! Why? Also today: Is Boston University making Covid more deadly? Finally: US mad at Iran for selling weapons...
Venture capitalist David Sacks has a fascinating piece in Newsweek breaking down how an alliance between the "woke" cancel culture of Twitter and the neocons is careening us toward a totally unnecessary nuclear conflict with Russia. Also today: will Kanye West snatch up Parler to preserve it as a bastion of free speech? Are the cancellers on the ropes?
Markets always have the final say. They ultimately overrule the incessant schemes of politicians and central bankers. There are no man-made "policies" that have the capability of revoking economic laws. There are no shortcuts, loopholes, or free lunches. "Narratives" get squashed by the truth. Free Markets and Sound Money are the truth. We'd be wise to return to both of them.
The announced two million barrel cut per day from OPEC+ was a heavy body blow to President Biden and the Democrats as they face what may be very rocky mid-term elections. Did Biden pressure the Saudis to hold off on the cuts until after the elections? Also today, a CPI nuke was dropped on the US economy. Finally, how democratic is Germany?

A Dutch Member of the European Parliament appeared to score a bombshell admission when he asked a representative of Pfizer whether their Covid "vaccine" was ever tested to see if it stopped transmission - the whole rationale behind vax mandates and passports. Pfizer representative said, "no." Also today, the Moderna shot actually has a NEGATIVE effectiveness after a few months. And...why won't Sweden share the results of its Nordstream sabotage investigation with Russia? Hiding something?
Tulsi has left the chat. In a dramatic announcement this morning, former US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced she was leaving the Democrat Party which she said "stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite." What's next for Tulsi and how will it shake up US politics? Also today, Russia's missile barrage continues as NATO chief Stoltenberg claims a win for Russia is a loss for...NATO! Finally, did the Brits plot to blow up the Kerch Bridge?
Weekly Update --- It’s Time To Tell Biden We Say ‘NO!’ To Nuclear War! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Just over a day after Kiev crossed Putin's "red line" and struck the bridge connecting Crimea with mainland Russia, Moscow launched an unprecedented level of airstrikes throughout Ukraine, aiming at the power grid and military command centers. The Biden Administration was convinced that Putin's talk of "red lines" was a bluff. How far will this escalate? Also today: a Washington Post survey of GOP Congressional candidates reveals that most do not believe the official story on the 2020 elections. What might this mean if control of the House and Senate shifts?

One would have hoped that after the fall of the Soviet Union, the idea of a centrally planned economy would have been discarded forever. But alas, it was not. And now we are witnessing the failure of the "Western" version of central economic planning.
It doesn't matter how brilliant the planners believe they are. The "advanced" technologies that they may have make no difference whatsoever. Even "artificial intelligence" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) can't make central economic planning work. Freedom is fundamental to civilized life, and sound money is the immutable foundation.

Medical freedom advocate Del Bigtree joins today's Liberty Report to explain how the US government and governments around the world have ripped to shreds the Nuremberg Code protecting citizens against medical experimentation by governments. Why are they doing their best to keep us from knowing about the widely-reported harm coming from the so-called Covid vaccine? What can we do?
Weekly Update --- Americans Suffer from Natural and Government-Created Disasters by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The on-again, off-again Elon Musk purchase of Twitter has occupied the minds on both sides of the free speech debate. Musk calls himself a "free speech absolutist," sending mainstream media and pro-censorship commentators into a panicked frenzy. What are they afraid of? Also today: Oil production cuts have Biden Administration steaming mad and Berlin complains to Washington about high energy prices.
Tesla and Space-X chief Elon Musk got a taste of the vitriol delved out to anyone who challenges the Ukraine narrative, as his Tweeted proposal to begin discussions on ending the Russia-Ukraine war was incinerated by pro-Ukraine Twitter users. Ukraine's president himself got into the act, slamming the very person who provided Ukraine with Starlink technology to save Ukraine's Internet. Also today, former Pentagon senior official Col. Doug Macgregor on who might be responsible for Nordstream sabotage.
While US neocons and mainstream media continue to inexplicably blame Russia for blowing up its own pipeline, US officials continue to signal their motive and the benefit they see from the sabotage. On Friday, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken said at a press conference that blowing up the pipeline presented a "tremendous opportunity" to finally end Europe's dependence on Russian energy imports. Also today: Guess who's personal fortune doubled during Covid?
The unconstitutional and immoral Federal Reserve should not exist. But it does exist, and it has created an economic debacle so great, that the world has never seen anything like it before. The Fed was created in an attempt to control market forces that are uncontrollable; to try to "plan" the economy, despite the immutable fact that it cannot be planned. The Fed has failed. There was never a chance for success.

Earlier this week in Germany and the Czech Republic, tens of thousands took to the streets to demand an end to Russia sanctions and the start of the NordStream II pipeline. Then someone blew it up.

Weekly Update --- Will Italy’s Election Foreshadow US Midterms? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Former Polish Defense Minister Radek Sikorski (husband of US neocon Anne Applebaum) publicly thanked the US government for blowing up NordStream I and II on Twitter yesterday, a move that made even his own fellow countrymen feel awkward. The seeming terrorist attack was less a move against Russia than against Germany. So who did it? Why? Also today, Sen. McConnell rolls over on even more billions to Ukraine. And...is Elon turning his eyes toward Rumble?
It appears as if some kind of explosion blew three huge holes in the NordStream I and II pipelines near Danish waters. Massive leaks are showing up on the surface of the Baltic Sea. Whodunnit? Would Washington blow up Russia's pipeline? Germany? Russia? Also today, the Democrats have become the party of war. Finally: Another $12 billion for Ukraine snuck into "must-pass" spending bill.
A political tidal wave broke over Italy over the weekend, as voters by a large majority elected a right-wing government. European Union officials warned Italians not to vote the "wrong" way...but they did anyway. What is the bigger picture? Also today, a vote in Ukraine's eastern provinces promises escalation. And...guess who's got covid...again?
Central planning never works. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter authoritarians from trying to make it work. Central planners always corner themselves; they checkmate themselves. They reach a point where every decision is a bad one; where every move is the wrong move. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, immoral, and the primary source of economic calamity in America. It's yet another of example of central planning that must ultimately fail.
Thanks to excellent investigative work by conservative journalist Matt Walsh, we have a full view of the horrors of Vanderbilt University Medical Center program to sterilize, drug, and mutilate children...for profit! Also today, yesterday President Biden told the UN that countries cannot seize the territories of other countries by force...yet that's just what he's advocated the US do for most of his career!
Russian president Vladimir Putin announced this morning that Russia would partially mobilize its military forces in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, stating that it is NATO that is pulling the strings and sending the weapons to Kiev. The Russia/NATO proxy war has been long ongoing...but will the conflict take a turn to a direct clash? Also today, Pentagon announces a review of its psychological warfare conduct as scores of fake social identities are revealed.
Russian president Vladimir Putin is expected to make a major speech in hours regarding the special military operation in Ukraine as several breakaway republics in Ukraine will soon hold referenda on joining Russia. Is major escalation coming? Also today: Is Heritage Foundation turning conservative on foreign policy?
In an interview full of shocking statements, President Biden told 60 Minutes last night that the Covid pandemic is now over. It may sound good this close to the election, but such an announcement has enormous implications for those still being fired and harassed. Also today: blockbuster NY Post article claims Facebook spied on (conservative) users PRIVATE msgs and sent them to the FBI.
Debt matters, and there are no "free" lunches when it comes to government spending. But with enough propaganda, it becomes easy to think that government can spend money without any limits. As the U.S. national debt approaches the $31 TRILLION mark, interest rates are rising, and interest payments are the debt going to skyrocket. Financial reckoning draws nearer.
A Bipartisan group of Congressional warmongers is pushing a multi-billion dollar military assistance package for Taiwan. The measure will include new language designating Taiwan a de-facto “major non-NATO ally.” Clearly the Ukraine model is being applied to Taiwan: fighting mainland China down to the last Taiwanese.
The head of the Department of Homeland Security has identified the latest terrorist threat to the United States...and it is us. People who do not trust the government and who question government narratives on social media have now surpassed foreign terrorists as the biggest threat to America. Also today: Was Steele Dossier an FBI op? And - Lindell the pillow guy has his phone stolen by the FBI.
After tens of billions have been shoveled into the black hole of Ukraine, known as the most corrupt country in Europe, Beltway conservative groups are belatedly waking up to the dollar hemorrhage. With a new $14 billion dollar giveaway on the table, groups such as Heritage Action and Center for Renewing America are screaming "enough!" Also today: one astrophysicist shocks the world.
US Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said on Face the Nation yesterday that the Jan 6th protesters were insurrectionists who attacked "our democracy" just like the 9/11 attackers 21 years ago. Will the families of the 9/11 victims have something to say about this? Also today: Trump allies continue to be rounded up as Biden's DoJ declares war on half the country. But, never fear, The Biden Administration has decided to change hundreds of "racist" names of places around the country.
In a world drowning in debt, the monetary system itself is on borrowed time. When the moment for reform arrives, gold will play a role once again. The era of money being a whim of counterfeiting central banks is drawing to a close.
The policy of harming and isolating Russia has backfired hard on Europe. This should provide a learning opportunity for Americans. In an interconnected world, it's never good policy to bite the hand that feeds you. Americans should keep this in mind when considering policy towards countries like China. Trade is superior to sanctions.
Another form of tech tyranny was recently on display in Colorado, as 22,000 households lost control of their "smart" thermostats to their power company. The ability to change the temperature in your own house was taken away! Corporatism, driven by an authoritarian "green" ideology, continues to do damage to our liberties.
When the Fed counterfeits dollars, creating an artificial economic boom, a recession is inevitable and unavoidable. Recessions are a return to economic reality; the antidote for The Fed's poison. While recessions are unavoidable, depressions can be avoided. Depressions occur when the government interferes and tries to prevent a return to economic reality. Government implements "policies" that are meant to "help," but only end up extending the economic misery into a depression
The U.S. military is having a hard time finding new recruits. With a string of failed wars that should've never happened, along with illogical vaccine mandates and "wokeness," is it really a surprise?
From the very start, the idea of getting rid of fossil fuels is an absurdity. But politicians are hardly ever deterred by truth and reality. The policies to "transition" to "green energy" are already producing economic pain and suffering. The further the "transition" proceeds, the higher the pain will become. Central planning never works.
Weekly Update --- Biden’s Student Debt Forgiveness Scheme is Unforgivable by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Poking China: Biden Asks Congress to Approve $1.1 Billion in Weapons for Taiwan by Ron Paul Liberty Report
First Afghanistan imploded and now it appears Iraq and Libya are about to follow suit. Syria simmers. The fruits of US interventionism are everywhere the same: chaos and death, not the promised "triumph of peace and democracy." Also today: Facebook exec admits FBI pushed the company to censor "the laptop from hell."

Many people have come to realize that there's something very strange and unnatural about big corporations all walking lockstop to push the "latest thing." Real life just doesn't work that way. There must be some kind of leverage used to create this unnatural situation. The leverage used to push this very specific ideology is, of course, money. Fortunately, states like Texas, Florida, and West Virginia are fighting back against so-called "Woke" Capitalism.
In a blatantly unconstitutional move, President Biden yesterday announced that his Administration would be obligating upwards of half a trillion dollars - or more - to "forgive" student loans in households making $125K per year or less. Good thing the Inflation Reduction Act was passed or we might be in real trouble! Also today: Did you know the US was still occupying and bombing Syria?
Weekly Update --- More Billions to Ukraine as America Falls Apart by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Announced on Ukraine's independence day no doubt for symbolic reasons, the Biden Administration is sending the largest weapons package to date: $3 billion! The money will first go to the US military-industrial-complex to purchase the weapons, of course, and then the weapons will be sent to Ukraine. It's a win-win for the elites and a lose-lose for the rest of us. Also today: Fed thuggery against an Amish organic farmer - a taste of what is to come with 87,000 new IRS agents.
Anthony "The Science" Fauci has announced his retirement, effective just before the new Congress takes power. Meanwhile Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) promises under-oath questioning of Fauci's role in Covid. Will justice be done? Also today, Pentagon Inspector General's final report shows $7 billion in weapons left for Taliban. It's only money, right?
According to a new NBC News survey, the vast majority of Americans are deeply dissatisfied with the direction of the country, holding the belief that America's best days are behind her. Why the massive negativity? Will politics solve it? Also today, neocons trash Biden's attempt to return to Iran deal.

"Corporatism" is when power (government), money (corporations), and propaganda (media) merge together to repeatedly rip-off the people at large. The antithesis to this "system" is severely limited government, sound money and free markets. But as long as the people at large resist their freedom, the rip-off machine will happily continue on to the next "latest thing."
Make lemonade! After the CDC's miserable failure during Covid, the Agency claims it needs more money and power to do better in the future. Also today, military whistleblowers tell horrible tales of Covid shot disasters.
Soon-to-be-former US Rep Liz Cheney suffered a stunning loss in yesterday's Wyoming Republican primary. As with all neocons, she was undeterred by failure, threatening to "do whatever it takes" to stop Trump. Also today, racism in Minneapolis and sketchy voting in LA Soros DA recall.
This week marks one year since the end of the 20 year US war on Afghanistan. Former US Gen. David Petraeus argues in The Atlantic that the withdrawal was a mistake. Is he right? Also today: SecDef and First Lady are jabbed to the hilt...yet they still got Covid! Does that just mean the vaccine is working?

Despite strong opposition even among feminists and many in the Left, Spain is to approve children of 16 years to change their gender without parental notification. Younger children are also to be approved but with parental notice. Also today: as Covid falls apart, who benefits? Big Pharma. And - surprise! - quad-jabbed Pfizer Exec catches the 'rona!
With each passing day, the Biden Administration drifts further and further from reality. Politicians are notorious for practicing deception, but when lying becomes constant, even it starts to lose its "effectiveness." The truth, and those who speak it, start to look like a breath of fresh air. Real life can't be powered by lies.
Birch Gold's Phillip Patrick is again joining today's Liberty Report to discuss the just-passed Inflation Reduction Act, which spends massively on "green" energy and more drug benefits. Will more spending curb inflation? Is there anything we can do ourselves to blunt the sting of higher prices?
Be sure to visit https://www.birchgold.com/ron
Despite relentless propaganda and juicy threats of impending arrests, a new poll of Americans shows the January 6th "insurrection" hearings are not shifting any opinions on the event. Also today, US warns starving Africa not to buy food from Russia. And...Biden gets boost in polls!
Armed Federal agents busted into former President Trump's Florida house last night, ostensibly to seek classified documents that were to be turned in to the National Archives. What's behind this unprecedented move? Also today: Biden sends Ukraine $4 billion...to help with their budget! And finally: media races to claim Biden chalking up victories. Why?
Weekly Update - Pelosi’s Taiwan Trip Exposes Foolishness of Interventionism by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The laughably-named "Inflation Reduction Act" will double the size of the IRS - making it larger than the Pentagon, State Department, FBI, and Border Patrol...combined! And that will save money? Also today: under (government?) pressure, CBS censors its own report on US weapons to Ukraine. And...is the end of "woke" entertainment on the horizon?
America was never meant to be an empire. After all, empires go broke! Why would any nation ever want that? Human life is much (much) too complex for one nation, or one government, to rule them all. Sadly, in the early 1900's, Americans ditched sound money, with the creation of the Fed, and ditched the belief of non-intervention in the affairs of other nations. It's been all downhill ever since.
Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini, in a recent candidate forum, dared to make a stand for non-interventionism in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He was interrogated by neocon moderator Marc Levin who could not believe anyone could advise staying out of the war, calling the Florida Rep’s views “the most radical I’ve ever heard.” Sabatini held his ground…and the crowd roared in approval.
In Arizona, Michigan, and elsewhere, Trump-backed candidates like US Senate hopeful Blake Masters pulled off victories in yesterday’s primaries. Is this the shape of things to come? Also today, more fallout from Pelosi’s perverse Taiwan junket and Russia accuses US of direct involvement in Ukraine war.
US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made good on her threat to be the first US House Speaker to visit Taiwan in a quarter of a century. The Chinese government is furious and threatening retaliation. Are there any benefits to the US of Pelosi's provoking China?
The Ron Paul Institute's Daniel McAdams tells students at the 2022 Mises University that foreign policy is central planning at its worst. Government spends billions on corrupt foreign leaders like Zelensky and Americans bear the financial burden and the existential risk.
This speech was recorded at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, July 30, 2022.
When government claims that it's going to make something (anything) "more affordable" or "more accessible" ... watch out! Their attempt to tilt the tables in a certain direction always backfires. It ends up ultimately hurting those who they intended to help. There are countless examples, but on today's program, we discuss how the government (and Fed) created the student loan mess.
If you ever want to peer into the future, look at the names of the bills passed by Congress, and then assume the opposite results for their intended goals. The "Inflation Reduction Act" will be yet another example. You can expect much more inflation if such an act is ever implemented.
Democrats want the bubble machine turned back on. Stop raising rates! Our unconstitutional and immoral monetary system, run by the Federal Reserve, is like a game of financial musical chairs. Everyone wants to take credit for the fake and illusionary boom, and no one wants to hold the bag during the very real and very painful bust.
Here we go again...The Biden Administration is trying to change the definition of a recession. We just went through multiple redefinitions of words during the Covid fiasco. Is this how government is supposed to operate? Just make it all up as you go along?
A bipartisan group from the US Congress on a junket to Kiev have called for the Biden Administration to begin sending US military "advisors" to Ukraine. Not to the frontline (right away) they say. What could go wrong? Also today: Hungary's Orban delivers a blistering speech on Europe's failed Ukraine policy. And...in North Carolina the whole police force quits. You'll never believe why.
We know from decades of unnecessary wars, and years of covid authoritarianism, that propaganda works. But it doesn't work all the time. It hasn't worked in convincing Americans to surrender their freedom so that government can "fix" the weather. As Biden preaches "climate emergency," Americans must remain vigilant in protecting their privacy and freedom.
One year ago today President Biden told Americans if they get the Covid shot they won't get Covid. Today the quadruple vaccinated Biden has announced that...he has Covid. Has the narrative failed? Also today - dueling narratives: Pelosi demands Blinken designate Russia as a terrorist state while NPR runs article about Ukraine corruption.
First up today a HUGE announcement from the Ron Paul Liberty Report!! Then on today's program: Biden's Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg believes Americans suffering at the gas pumps is actually a very good thing because it will force them to purchase electric vehicles. US Rep Massie hammers this delusional view. Also today: Ukraine threatens to smash Crimea and the Black Sea Fleet. WWIII?
Watch politicians begin to change their tune as a brand new CNN/SSRS poll shows the majority of Americans opposing Biden's Ukraine policy. With out of control inflation and a lurking economic catastrophe, blaming everything on "Putin's price hike" is backfiring on the Administration. Also today: A new Gallup poll shows historic lows in Americans' confidence in media. And: Mexico's president calls Assange the best journalist of our time.
Dr. Deborah Birx was the real power behind President Trump's disastrous Covid policy. She was the lockdown fanatic who admits in a new book that she subverted the hapless Trump Admin and pushed falsehoods to get what she wanted. Millions of lives were ruined. Also today: Washington freaks out as Ukrainian-born US Rep accuses "Saint" Zelensky of corruption...
The Fed counterfeited trillions and prices are skyrocketing -- cause and effect. Yet, the price of gold is falling! Shouldn't gold be skyrocketing too? Is it as simple as that? Or are there more variables involved, making things more complex? After all, gold, like oil, is an extremely politicized commodity.
Weekly Update --- How Much Did the US Government Pressure Twitter to Ban Alex Berenson? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
An instructor at the Harvard Law School has Tweeted a threat against the US Supreme Court over its recent overturning of Roe v. Wade: the Justices should "never know peace again." Twitter has taken no action against the threat. Why? Also today: As the US Army faces unprecedented recruitment challenges, today it kicks out 60,000 soldiers...for refusing the Covid shot! Finally: Newsom presides over the worst schools in the nation...so he goes to Washington for an education award! Make sense?
The Biden Administration has announced an additional $1.7 billion in aid to Ukraine to pay its healthcare sector. As the seemingly endless US money spigot to Ukraine seems to be left open, how long until Americans without healthcare begin to object? Also today: new CPI numbers are out...and they're devastating! Also: John Bolton casually admits plotting coups overseas while in government.
President Biden's trip next week to a Saudi Arabia, that not long ago he referred to as a "pariah state," demonstrates just how desperate his Administration is to save the sinking ship of the US economy. Officials are now floating the idea of approving "offensive" weapons to the Saudis as Biden prepares to grovel for more oil. Also today: Iran sending drones to Russia? Really Jake? Finally: Congress adds a few billion to Biden's military funding request. Business as usual for the Beltway bandits.
CNN, NY Times, WaPo, etc - after years of carrying water for Joe Biden, the mainstream media is turning against him. All of a sudden his age and seeming cognitive decline are fair game. Is it a Dem-led desperation move to salvage something from expected big November losses? Where does the party go if Biden doesn't run...or doesn't finish this term? Also today: Europeans are fed up with Ukraine as European governments begin to fall. And US attacks Hungary...for lowering its taxes!!
New jobs numbers are out...and they're not what the Biden Administration wants us to believe. Economic contagion is spreading worldwide...as is a growing populist response. What kind of recession are we going to have? Birch Gold's Phillip Patrick joins today's Liberty Report with his insights.
Weekly Update --- Foreign Policy Fail: Biden's Sanctions are a Windfall For Russia! by Ron Paul Liberty Report
As UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson finally had his stiff white knuckles pried from power yesterday, the rest of Europe - starting with Holland - is erupting in massive protests. Is this the beginning of the end for Europe's Covid-lockdowning, Ukraine-obsessed, WEF-hob-nobbing elite? Mises Institute President Jeff Deist joins today's Liberty Report.
Canada's Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos has called for continuous Covid-vaxxing of Canadians, claiming that the concept of being fully vaxxed against the virus is "out of date." But Canadians are increasingly opposed to their authoritarian rulers as recent polls show. Also today: Mexico's president tells the US to lay off of Assange...or tear down the Statue of Liberty! Finally - a UK terrified of a Putin invasion has announced...troop cuts! Make sense?
As Ukraine continues to lose ground in the east, its leaders are inexplicably demanding three-quarters of a trillion dollars to "reconstruct" areas controlled by Russia. Once widely considered the most corrupt country in Europe, Western leaders have already dumped in billions with zero oversight. Will they keep writing checks? Also today, Saudis laugh at Biden's request for more oil. And...JP Morgan warns of $380/barrel oil.
Former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and former UN chief weapons inspector Scott Ritter appears at the RPI Houston conference with a blistering critique of the Biden Administration's Ukraine policy.

It's rare, but politicians and central bankers sometimes (accidentally) tell the truth. This week, Jerome Powell claimed The Fed, which unconstitutionally counterfeits trillions of dollars, has little understanding about inflation. They're apparently 'surprised' that counterfeiting trillions caused prices to skyrocket. Central planning always fails. We desperately need to use sound money again.

In a rare press conference after the Madrid NATO Summit today, President Biden was asked how long Americans should expect to pay high gas prices over the Ukraine conflict. Biden's response was flippant: "for as long as it takes." He also blamed high food prices on "Russia, Russia, Russia." Are Americans buying it? Also today: They're turning West Point into "Woke Point" and some retired grads are steaming!
Ukraine insane, inflation, wokeism, endless money printing: bestselling author Richard Maybury joins today's Liberty Report to discuss how the enemies of liberty have used the public school system to advance their agenda...and how liberty can make a comeback. Follow Richard's work here: https://www.earlywarningreport.com/
After two days in a luxurious German castle, President Biden and the rest of the G7 leaders pledged to continue shipping an endless pipeline of dollars to Ukraine, even as the war continues to be lost. With western enthusiasm waning, however, is this just hot air? Also today at G7: Don't say Covid! Finally today - US military recruiters find little interest among young Americans. Why?
In another case of who is leaking and why, the New York Times has revealed that the CIA is heavily involved in training and advising Ukraine in its war with Russia. As former CIA official Larry Johnson writes, this is a very selective leak from the US government. So we need to read between the lines to answer why. Also today...one day before NATO's Madrid summit the talk is all about escalation.
The posturing that inflation is such a "surprise" is typical, but shameful nevertheless. No one should be surprised that prices are skyrocketing after the government spent many trillions that it doesn't have. Further, it was only able to spend those trillions because the Fed counterfeited the money out-of-thin-air. Today's economic suffering could not be more predictable.
In a stunning 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional the New York requirement that applicants for a concealed carry handgun permit must show a special cause for the request. The Second Amendment "protects an individual's right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home," wrote Justice Clarence Thomas in the majority opinion. Also today: Biden's top economic advisor claims the best way out of inflation is...more government spending! Get your EARLY BIRD tickets for the RPI Conference! Info: http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2022/june/23/anatomy-of-a-police-state/
President Biden is set to announce a temporary suspension of the federal gasoline tax in the face of record gas prices in the US. However, with gas prices around five dollars per gallon, the 18 cents per gallon savings equals about two dollars per tank savings. Is this a band-aid on a gushing wound? Also today, only 11 percent of Americans buy the "Putin price hike" rhetoric. And...Congress expands US economic war on China with new import ban.
UN World Food Program head David Beasley announced yesterday that global food rations for refugees will need to be cut in half due to the unprecedented food crisis. How much of this crisis is man-made as the elites use food as a weapon in what has turned out to be a futile effort to punish Russia? How much of the food and energy crisis is actually being cheered by those pushing the "green" agenda? Also today: Slovakia miffed that Germany won't replace junky Soviet tanks sent to Ukraine with shiny new German models for free.
Weekly Update --- Federal Reserve’s Rate Increases: Too Little Too Late? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Sen. Jonn Cornyn (R-TX) and nine other Republicans in the Senate have crossed over to support "compromise" legislation to move the US further toward "red flag" gun laws, where a Constitutional right can be taken without due process. Texans told Cornyn what they think of him and his compromise at the TX GOP state convention last week. The legislation may make it to the Floor this week. Also today: Did Lithuania just spark WWIII?
The failure of central planning is manifesting in our world again, this time from The Fed. There's no "right way" to plan the economy, or to manipulate interest rates, or to counterfeit money. It's all wrong and destructive! The only fix is to End The Fed and to use sound money once again.
The rhetoric at the NATO summit this week is predictable: we must send more weapons to Ukraine! But behind the rehearsed facade, there are increasing cracks in the alliance...and among the peoples of Europe. Even Blinken is changing his tune a bit...
With the country crippled by record gas prices, President Biden has taken to yelling at oil companies for NOT drilling. But didn't he promise to end drilling and fossil fuels? Also today: horrific cost of covid lockdowns revealed. And - "Inflation? Ha! We're sending another $650 million for weapons to Ukraine!"
Weekly Update --- Out of Desperation, Democrats Resurrect 'Insurrection' Theater by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Marx tells us that history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy and the second time as farce. We may be at that stage with the ridiculous January 6 Committee prime-time hearings - staged for television by a former news producer. Chairman Benny Thompson swears "no criminal referrals" will be handed down while Pelosi's hand-picked Republican ranking member Liz Cheney rebuts him with "not so fast!" Far from justice, these hearings demonstrate that DC Dems are in a box of their own making. Also today: Poland demands new weapons to replace the old weapons they shipped to Ukraine.
Thanks to the diligent work of Sens. Grassley and Hawley - and a whistleblower from within the Department of Homeland Security - we now know that DHS's work on the "Disinformation Governance Board" began back in September, 2021, not this spring as DHS Secretary Mayorkas testified. Also we know from leaked documents that the focus was not on "foreign adversaries" but was to focus on “conspiracy theories about the validity and security of elections” and “disinformation related to the origins and effects of COVID-19 vaccines or the efficacy of masks.” Also: smoking gun proof that DHS senior officials sought high-level meetings with Twitter to push censorship of Americans! Will more Senators show interest in these lies and attacks on the First Amendment?

Every excuse in the book is given for inflation. But inflation has a single source: The Fed and the immoral fractional-reserve banking system. Why waste time on the periphery? Perhaps it's to make sure that the "system" continues? That's unacceptable. Go to the source!
RPI Founder Ron Paul addresses the 4 June 2022 conference: The Biden Doctrine: New World Order or Nuclear Armageddon?
Don't forget to mark your calendars! Sept. 3rd in Dulles, VA: 'Anatomy of a Police State' - Ron Paul Institute's Summer Washington Conference!
In what may be the high water mark for the "Soros DAs," San Francisco voters have, by a large majority, decided to remove District Attorney Chesa Boudin from office. Crime surged while Boudin fired prosecutors, leading a Chinese-American community spearheaded drive to return to some sanity in SF. Will L.A. and the rest of California follow? Also today, are you ready for the Jan. 6th Commission propaganda hearings?
As Americans face record gas prices and inflation, President Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act to produce more "green" energy alternatives like solar and batteries. Will this do the trick? Also today, CDC tries to push masks for monkeypox and Poland tells its citizens to gather sticks if they get cold or hungry as energy prices soar.
NATO has chosen to launch war games near Russia's border precisely when the US and UK are sending longer range multiple rocket launchers to Ukraine and when the Russian president has warned that any rockets hitting Russia would incur a big response. What's the game here? Bigger war? Also today: Read-out from the big RPI conference on Saturday and more...

Every form of authoritarianism has been tried (many times over) in an attempt to turn free human beings into obedient robots. The failure rate is 100%. "Woke" Capitalism, with "ESG scores" for corporations, and "social credit scores" for individuals, are merely the newest iteration. They too are destined for disaster. The costliest lesson in all of economic and political history is that freedom always prevails.
The verdict in the Sussman case may seem like just another example of Hillary Clinton "getting away with it." And it is. But there is far more to be concerned about in the case. Also today: Supremes smack down Texas social media law and UK Guardian slams Russia sanctions as counterproductive.
While promising not to send longer-range missiles to Ukraine, President Biden announced that he's sending longer-range missiles to Ukraine. He also unveiled an additional $700 million in weapons for Ukraine (is this part of the $40 billion...or is that already used up?). Also today: EUROPOL (finally) wakes up to the nightmare of billions in weapons flooding Europe from Ukraine.
Weekly Update --- Don’t Trade Real Liberty for Phony Security by Ron Paul Liberty Report
A former Goldman Sachs official now working for the Chinese giant Alibaba revealed at Davos recently that a new global tracking system of "where you go, what you eat, etc" will soon be in operation to monitor and report on how "green" individuals are behaving. What was once derided as conspiracy theory has become conspiracy fact. Also today: California deep dives into medical tyranny and MSM continues to walk back its (mis)-reporting on Ukraine.
One by one, the US mainstream media outlets are lining up to (finally) let a bit of truth leak out after three months of incessant propaganda: Ukraine is being destroyed in the war. How many have unnecessarily died because the likes of Boris Johnson and Biden have prohibited a negotiated settlement? Also today, US/EU sanctions on Russia have backfired. Like always. Bonus: What was Ron Paul doing this weekend?
Russia is a commodities powerhouse; China a manufacturing powerhouse. Both nations have tremendous stockpiles of gold, nuclear weapons and major trading relationships around the world. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has printed trillions of dollars, the U.S. government intervenes in all aspects of our lives and endless wars have economically devastated us. The "land of the free" took a terrible turn, and must head back to freedom.
A new AP poll released this week shows for the first time that Americans are souring on "Putin's price hike" as a cost of propping up Ukraine in its war with Russia. Six and seven dollar a gallon gas plus raging inflation have brought the cost of an interventionist foreign policy home to the US and Americans are not happy. Also today, Zelensky's top aide has some colorful words for Ukraine's western sponsors. And...are you ready for Monkeypox? It's the "latest thing."
The 1st and 2nd Amendments have always been under attack, and they always will be. That should give you a good indication as to how important they both are. Every individual is free to do good, or to do ill. Everyone has a choice to lie or commit criminal acts of violence. Thus, the freedom to speak the truth (1st Amendment) and to defend oneself against criminality (2nd Amendment) are paramount.
Today, we're happy to have a special guest: Jack Spirko, host of The Survival Podcast; and who specializes in self-sufficiency, self-reliance and personal liberty. In our age of aggressive government intervention, mixed with corporatism, Jack provides insights on navigating our way through.
When it comes to the economy and money, you can't "fake it until you make it." If you try to fake it, you'll never make it. Ever since the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913, America has been on a path to economic calamity. There aren't many grains of sand left in the hour glass. Major changes will have to be made soon.
The baby formula crisis is yet another disaster that must result from government & giant corporations working hand-in-hand. So-called "government regulations," which include massive subsidies and protectionism, must be replaced free markets and open competition. Otherwise Americans should not be surprised to keep getting more of the same outcomes.
After an outcry over the creation of a "Ministry of Truth" within the Department of Homeland Security - with a champion disinformation-spreader hired to fight disinformation - the Biden Administration announced the program is on "pause" and the kooky director has resigned. But this is a government power grab so they can hit the "play" button at any time. Also today, champion doxxed Taylor Lorenz blames Disinfo Board demise on the "far right." And...George W. Bush accidentally tells the truth.
And the winner of "never let a crisis go to waste" is Turkey's Erdogan, who vows to block NATO membership for Finland and Sweden unless his shopping list of concessions is fulfilled by the US, EU, and NATO. Who will blink? Also today: Greece gets in on the "give us something" game. Finally: Washington Post and NYTimes drop serious disinformation on Azov surrender in Mariupol. Will Nina Jankowicz go after them?
This morning only eleven Senators - all Republican - voted against a MASSIVE giveaway to Ukraine, even as Americans suffer at home. Meanwhile, NATO assured Ukraine that its support is "open ended." War is coming closer...and now Finland and Sweden are about to enter the war mix. What could go wrong?
Weekly Update --- Why Did Rand Paul Delay Washington’s $40 Billion Ukraine Giveaway? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Fresh off his trip to Kiev, wandering the streets of a supposed war zone with America's adopted "hero" Zelensky, Senate Minority Leader out-hawked Biden's hawks, demanding the Russia be named a "State Sponsor of Terrorism." Does he even understand what the term means? Also today: Sen. Paul brutalized for just suggesting we keep track of the billions we send to Ukraine. Also...did the White House lie about vaccine availability in a recent Tweet? Disinformation? Nina?
Government is not a problem-solver, but a problem multiplier. In an effort to make college "more affordable" and "more accessible," students now live under mountains of debt. All of this credit has naturally driven up the price of going to college as well. Now government, in yet another effort to "help," is thinking about forcing everyone else to pick up the tab. The worst words in the English language remain unchanged: "I'm from government, and I'm here to help."
After a series of Administration "leaks" regarding US involvement in the killing of Russian generals and the sinking of the Moskva, the Biden Administration is seeking to plug the leaks and to clarify the types of intel it would share with Ukraine. The goal is to avoid becoming a party to the war. But has that ship already sailed? Also today: prepping in Alaska to fight Russia and China...and Biden's 'Disinfo' Czar wants to edit your Tweets.
With just 57 "no" votes - all of them Republicans - the US House last night in a rushed vote ADDED nearly eight billion dollars to Biden's massive $30 billion Ukraine military bill. This represents some eight times the ANNUAL Ukraine military budget! Also today: Biden claims fighting inflation his top priority. Shock poll shows Americans don't care who wins in Ukraine. Chicago mayor calls for insurrection!
A corruption watchdog group has examined National Institutes of Health records and determined that as much as $300 million dollars has been paid to NIH employees, including Fauci, over the past ten years as "royalties" for their discoveries. Is this unique, or just another example of the evils of public/private entities. Also today, the Pentagon is scrambling for new weapons to send to Ukraine - weapons makers are thrilled. Finally: as to be expected, Congress adds a few billion to Biden's military aid package to Ukraine (while Americans pay up to seven dollars for a gallon of gas).
With Inflation Skyrocketing, insane spending, and government getting bigger, is this the Economic Meltdown closer than we think.
Government spending is through the roof. A few trillion for "Covid," a few tens of billions for "Ukraine" and a massive military budget. Americans are feeling inflation every time they go to the gas station, the grocery store, anywhere. US actions overseas threaten the dollar as the world's reserve currency. In these treacherous times, what can we do? Birch Gold's Precious Metals Specialist Phillip Patrick has some thoughts in today's Liberty Report.

Yesterday Sen. Rand Paul hammered Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkis over the Agency's creation of a "Disinformation Governance Board" - i.e. a government-run ministry of truth. A new article in Politico reminds us of a dark era in US history when a very similar government entity was created...to disastrous results. Also today...US official admits Washington is helping kill Russian generals. What could go wrong?
Weekly Update --- End the Culture War. Separate School and State. by Ron Paul Liberty Report
President Biden visited a Lockheed-Martin weapons manufacturing plant yesterday, praising the workers and demanding Congress hand him $33 billion MORE to send to Ukraine. It's all about jobs, Biden said. Meanwhile, Russia has warned that NATO transports inside Ukraine delivering weapons are legitimate military targets. What could go wrong? Also today: According to a new poll, Americans aren't buying the "Putin's price hike" explanation for inflation...
The apparent leak of a draft Supreme Court decision that overturns Roe vs. Wade has unleashed a political tsunami across the United States. Protests outside the Court building hardly seemed spontaneous and abortion supporters in Congress are scurrying to pack the Court. What is the deeper issue here? What should libertarians think about it?
US Rep Adam Kinzinger (R-AZ) has introduced an authorization for the use of force against Russia bill in the US House, allowing President Biden to take the country to war with the nuclear-armed country in the case of a bio/chemical/nuclear attack on Ukraine. What about the danger of false flags? Also today: US training Ukrainian troops in Germany, Ghost of Kiev unmasked, and Pelosi takes on the bullies...
The U.S. economy has been in bad shape for a long time. Now, even government's very flawed GDP statistic (which incorrectly counts government spending as a positive) came up negative for Q1. A recession may be imminent, with skyrocketing inflation at the same time. The Fed and the politicians keep painting themselves into a corner by foolishly trying to control a market that cannot be controlled.
The US Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday that it is creating a "Disinformation Governance Board" to fight "disinformation." Heading up the new outfit is, not surprisingly, a highly political Democratic Party operative who is herself a spreader of disinformation. What could go wrong? Also today: Germany caves to EU on Russia oil embargo and...another day another aid package to Ukraine: Biden asked for $33 billion!!!
EU officials have warned Elon Musk that he faces steep fines or an outright ban if he follows a "free speech" model once his purchase of Twitter is complete. How far will authorities go to restrict freedom of expression? Also: Twitter's top censor breaks down in tears at the thought of her reign coming to an end. And finally: Wimbledon's racism.
Elon Musk's seemingly successful bid to purchase Twitter and his claim to return it to a free-speech model has been met with fury and terror among that part of the population that used to champion free speech: the progressives and the left. Even the ACLU issued a warning. What are they afraid of? Also today, NATO countries are massively escalating in their war with Russia through Ukraine. The UK parliament's armed forces chief gave Ukraine a green light to use UK weapons to launch attacks inside Russia. What could go wrong...?
US Secretaries of State and Defense made a surprise visit to Kiev over the weekend to declare that Russia had already failed and Ukraine had already succeeded in the two-month conflict. Promising additional weapons transfers, the US is becoming ever more engaged in the war. Dangerous? Also today, some NATO officials openly declare the goal is to "bleed Russia." And...Finland in NATO? Good idea?
1913 was a fateful year for freedom in America. Both the Income Tax & Federal Reserve were created. The dreaded Income Tax made everyone's hard-earned money the property of the federal government first. The earnings that government allowed people to keep would then be persistently stolen by The Fed's inflation. Freedom was put in a vice in 1913, and after 100 years, there's almost nothing left to be squeezed.
Weekly Update --- Blame Powell, Not Putin or ‘Greedy’ Corporations, for Price Hikes by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Former US Marine intelligence officer and former Chief UN Weapons Inspector for Iraq Scott Ritter joins today's program to discuss the Russia/Ukraine war and the massive US push to control and shape the narrative through mainstream and social media.
In a blow to press freedom and decency, a UK judge has today approved Julian Assange's extradition to the US to face espionage charges for his role in exposing US war crimes in Iraq and elsewhere. Also today: Biden wants to send ANOTHER $800 million in weapons to Ukraine! Also: Pentagon admits there is no way to track weapons once delivered to Ukraine - is Europe about to face a major terrorist threat due to this negligence?
A US Federal Judge in Florida yesterday ruled the transportation mask mandate illegal, ending two years of mask tyranny in the US. While passengers cheered the news, we must pause to reflect on how the tyrants were able to force it. Also today: Florida rejects CRT-infested math textbooks and Treasury Secretary Yellen joins the war party.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) said on the weekend talk shows that it's time to start talking about sending US troops to directly fight Russia in Ukraine. Thus to defend Ukraine's borders, this member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee openly calls for that launch of what would be WWIII. Coons is joined by plenty of Republican Members calling for direct conflict with Russia, including disgraced neocon Rep. Adam Kinzinger. Also today: Fauci spills the beans on lockdowns and MSNBC spills the beans on its view of the role of media in a "free" society...
Government is not a problem solver, but a problem multiplier; the reaction to Covid being just the latest example. Government actions piled a host of new and devastating problems on top of Covid itself! We now have an inflation problem created by government spending and Fed counterfeiting. Will government's reaction to inflation create new problems on top? Yes.
Weekly Update --- CIA Admits Feeding Americans False Info About Ukraine by Ron Paul Liberty Report
According to Politico, the Biden Administration is considering sending a cabinet-level official - and possibly even Biden or Harris - to Ukraine as a show of solidarity with Kiev. As such a move would include a sizeable US military guard, there is incredible risk with near-zero gain in such a symbolic move. Also today: Enjoying that inflation? Biden's sending ANOTHER near-billion dollars to Ukraine! Finally, US increasing targeting intel sharing with Ukraine - including in Crimea! Escalation on top of escalation.
As the Russian deputy foreign minister warns that US and NATO weapons sent to Ukraine to target the Russian military will be attacked, the Biden Administration has called a meeting with the eight largest US weapons manufacturers to see how they can ramp up production for Ukraine. The Biden Administration is moving the US toward direct conflict even as it says it won't put US boots on the ground. Also today, why are media pundits who also work for military contractors not forced to reveal who is paying them?
As Ted Carpenter writes on Antiwar.com, it sure seems like the Biden Administration is doing all it can to prolong the war in Ukraine. Sending weapons that have little chance of making a big difference in the outcome only keeps the fighting and killing going strong, and the Administration has shown no interest in pushing a quick diplomatic end to the war. On the contrary, Biden openly calling for regime change and a war crimes trial makes diplomacy nearly impossible. Why prolong the fighting? US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan gave us a hint, when he told NBC News over the weekend that the US wants " a weakened and isolated Russia."
A new study looking in to Covid policy in various states with regard to mortality, GDP loss, and other factors found that the strongest lockdown states like California and New York managed the crisis the worst with the worst outcomes. And - Fauci gives us permission to manage our own risk. Also today, Bloomberg reports that we could be having another Covid surge...without even knowing it! Finally, why is the US government encouraging central European countries to transfer Soviet-era weapons to Ukraine in exchange for new, Washington-provided replacements? Boondoggle?
Government forbids competition in currencies. Why is that? Is it because The Fed's dollar would quickly lose the competition with gold, silver, and perhaps even Bitcoin? Government can't create gold out-of-thin-air (like it does with dollars) to fund its expansion into every aspect of our lives. But change is in the air.
In the first of what should be repeated over and over, one of the January 6th "insurrectionists" has had all the charges against him dropped. Will justice finally prevail? Also today: Pelosi has Covid. And...the US government admits that it lies to the American people and the world to push its war aims with Russia.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Milley, told Congress that NATO needs to build more permanent bases on Russia's border in response to the Ukraine conflict and that the conflict will last years. More US troops on Russia's borders will act as a "deterrent." The military-industrial-Congressional complex is no-doubt thrilled. Also today - New York City mom fired from city job after asking the mayor about his new toddler mask mandate.
It feels like deja vu. Just seven years ago it was claimed without proof that Assad gassed his own people as his troops left Khan Shaykhun. When the facts came out about the event, the truth was quite different. Today Russian soldiers are being blamed for a slaughter of civilians in the Ukrainian town of Bucha. They have been tried and convicted in all Western capitals and in the media, yet there has been no investigation. Anything is possible, of course, but what if they got it wrong again? Will anyone care? Also today, Musk takes a seat at Twitter - will it return to a free speech platform?
After spending the past two years pretending he's never heard the term "natural immunity," an old clip of Fauci from CSPAN has emerged where he was singing a wildly different tune. When did you change, Tony...and why? Also today: Bill Gates' surprising admission on "lessons learned" from Covid. And...will free speech return to Twitter after Elon Musk opens his checkbook?
Since when is a “billionaire” someone who has a net worth of $100 million? What happened to the other $900 million? Nevertheless, envy politics is back again under the Biden Administration. Rich politicians, who are supported by rich individuals and rich corporations are going to tax themselves (even more) ... for you! The dreaded Income Tax was 'only for the rich' at first too. Look how that worked out over the last 100 years.
Covid's back! The Biden Administration staged a high profile press availability for the President to get another covid shot and to announce a new government website devoted to getting Americans shots, masks and tests. Late in the game? No! The FDA is expected to announce yet ANOTHER covid booster will be available this fall. Also today, Biden fights "Putin's price hike" by emptying out America's strategic petroleum reserve.
Former CIA Operations officer John Sipher has bragged on Twitter about the role he played in preventing a Trump victory in 2020. Sipher was one of the 50 intel officials who signed a letter speculating that the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation." What's the point of voting if the spooks are going to fix the elections? Also today: US strategy names China as top threat; US General says "more troops" to Europe.
Negotiators from Ukraine and Russia met in Turkey to resume talks on a ceasefire and eventual settlement to the conflict. While early reports suggest progress was made, US Secretary of State Blinken threw cold water on the optimism. What gives? Also today: another Biden blunder - we're training Ukrainian troops in Poland?? Record military budget. And a new poll will leave Biden in tears...
In President Biden's final speech in Europe - held in Warsaw - not only did he call for 'regime change' in Russia but he warned that the war in Ukraine would be "long." As Glenn Greenwald wrote recently, the Biden Administration seems to be doing everything it can to PROLONG the war. Why? Who benefits? Also today: Ukraine's Zelensky slams NATO's "cowardice" and Hunter Biden shown to be behind biolab funding.
President Biden alerted us that, as a result of sanctions on Russia, food shortages for Americans are "going to be real." So, for a fight on the other side of the world, that doesn't threaten American interests in the least bit, the American people are supposed to suffer from a lack of food? Does that sound like a good foreign policy to you?
President Biden has attended an emergency NATO meeting in Brussels where the member countries have pledged to get more aggressive toward Russia rather than look for means of de-escalation. More troops, more weapons, more interference. All this for a Non-NATO country. Also today: are you ready for 100,000 "refugees" fleeing Ukraine? FBI partners with social media to troll Russians. Airlines demand mask-free travel.
Who's winning in the Russia/Ukraine war? Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin! The US administration is doling out an additional three-plus billion as it scrambles to send more rockets and pour more fuel on the fire. Also today: alcohol killed more 65 and under Americans than Covid, Hillary gets Covid, and Russia announces only rubles for oil from "hostile" countries.
First it was a US demand that China vote to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, then suspiciously-sourced accusations that China was to provide military equipment to China, to now a sudden new round of sanctions on China. Does Washington really believe China will act as the US proxy in the region? Does Washington want to take on both Russia AND China (and maybe India)? Also today, US firms not told to leave Russia, White House claims. And, Ukraine's Zelensky bans opposition parties and all non pro-Zelensky media...
The US attack on Iraq, which happened 19 years ago this past weekend, resulted in a destroyed country and perhaps as many as one million killed directly and indirectly by the invasion. They did not "greet us as as liberators" - they cursed us as wreckers. And after 19 years, Iraq is now vying for the ignoble title of America's longest war. All based on lies. Also today, CDC suspiciously dials Covid death numbers waaay back. Why?
Every artificial economic boom created by The Fed must have an economic bust. Manipulating interest rates lower creates distortions in the economy. A return to reality exposes those distortions and forces their liquidation. The Fed gives us a roller-coaster economy and destroys the value of the dollar. It's time to End The Fed.
Weekly Update --- Is Washington Fighting Russia Down to the Last Ukrainian? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The Trump plan to bring troops home from Europe has undergone a "miraculous" turnaround, with the war in Ukraine being used as an excuse for a massive new influx of US soldiers to Germany and points eastward. Meanwhile, billions more are being spent to send weapons to Ukraine (where they are likely blown up, only to be replaced with more shipments). War is big business for the Beltway.
As President Biden tries to pin blame elsewhere on the rip-offs at the gas pump, the fact remains that the policies of his administration are the chief culprit. Yes, his administration has had some help, primarily from the counterfeiting Federal Reserve, but whether it's through domestic policies or the foreign policy of empire, the Biden Administration has hit American wallets where it hurts.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has labeled former US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard a "traitorous liar" over Gabbard's suggestion that the US should work with Russia toward a ceasefire in Ukraine with a focus on protecting the US Defense Department-funded biolabs scattered around that country. This even though the US Administration itself admitted the labs' existence and the potential danger posted by them. Apparently speaking the objective truth is "Russian disinformation" to Washington's pro-war cult. Also today: Rand Paul seeks to clip Fauci's wings, Pelosi gives an economics lesson, and Germany goes ga-ga over the F-35.
The idea that The Fed could make dollars that they can counterfeit "as good as gold" was always a fairy tale. The idea that the Fed would create a "stable" currency was always a fairy tale. The idea that the Fed could "run" the economy, or prevent recessions and depressions was always a fairy tale. The Fed destroys the economy and brings about depressions. All fairy tales must come to an end. But what will replace it?
With prices skyrocketing, the expected finger-pointing has arrived. While there's plenty peripheral blame that is certainly warranted, problems are not solved by tinkering with the periphery. You solve problems by going directly to the source. The root source of inflation is always The Federal Reserve, for it has the unconstitutional power of counterfeiting dollars out-of-thin-air. Until this immoral practice is addressed and forbidden, the problems of inflation will never be solved.
First it was $6 billion, then Biden made it $10 billion, then the US House upped the ante again: more than $13 billion US taxpayer dollars will be shipped to Ukraine. As Americans are ravaged by inflation at the supermarket and skyrocketing gasoline prices, will they still cheer for their money being sent overseas? Also today, it's the Pentagon vs. the State Dept. on escalating in Ukraine. Guess who's most hawkish?
After all the "fact check" organizations assured us it was "Russian disinformation" and "fake news," US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria "F the EU" Nuland admitted the existence of biolabs in Senate testimony and stated that the US was working with Ukraine to keep the "research" at those labs from falling into Russian hands. Also today: the bizarre Polish jet fighter saga, political persecution of a Jan. 6th protester, and Florida OKs off-label treatments for covid.
President Biden has just announced a US ban on Russian oil and other energy supplies, suggesting that now is the time to accelerate the transition to "clean energy." As gas prices reach uncharted territory, are Americans being asked to commit economic suicide for Ukraine's "democracy"? Also: More insane "no fly zone" talk from Congress.
Americans face unprecedented economic fallout from the Biden Administration's continuing intervention in the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Gas prices are reaching record highs. Commodity priced, including wheat, are soaring. The US (and global) economy is teetering toward disaster. What should we do? Are we on the right path? Today we offer some admittedly unsolicited advice to a floundering Biden Administration.
Economic sanctions seek to impoverish and sicken the civilians of the sanctioned nation. They also place heavy economic costs on the civilians of nations imposing the sanctions. To add insult to injury, the track record of sanctions forcing political change is disgracefully bad as well.
Politico today reports on how a "reluctant" big tech has decided to abandon its pro-free speech approach and take the side of the US government as the Russian war in Ukraine begins its second week. Are they kidding us? Also today, Biden Administration demands ten billion dollars for Ukraine and 20 billion for COVID. Free money! What could go wrong? And Massie stands up to the Washington war machine.
Despite assuring Americans last night that no troops would be sent to fight in Ukraine, President Biden assured the country that it would stand by its NATO allies. Many argue that this is a good argument against Ukraine's NATO membership in the first place - as then the US would be obligated to fight. What other moves might the US/EU make? No-fly zone? More weapons? Total oil embargo?
As the Russian attack on Ukraine continues, there are more and more moves in the US to weaponize banking and money itself in an attempt to "punish" Russia for its aggression. Some cooler heads are recognizing that the "sanction everything" hot heads may be producing some unintended consequences back home. Crypto users and fans should also be worried.
Is the Russian incursion into Ukraine a desperate "land grab" by an unhinged Russian president? Is it as simple as that? That is what the mainstream media across the political spectrum is pumping out. And, as with all propaganda wars, anyone outside the lines is demonized. But what if there is something beyond the bumper sticker talking points?
The Covid Berlin Wall fell. Time to get back to normal, right? Well, not so fast. A fight on the other side of the world has generated war fever in the minds of America's political classes. They're already telling American citizens that "sacrifices will have to be made." Is this what Americans need to hear after years of Covid tyranny?
Weekly Update --- The Federal Reserve: Enemy of American Workers by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Russia's wide-ranging assault on Ukrainian military targets in the early hours of the morning has surprised Western capitals even as they repeatedly predicted an imminent attack. Propaganda machines on all sides are turned up to maximum. In today's Liberty Report we try to break down the facts and the antecedents with an eye on where things might go from here.
President Biden's short address yesterday on the Ukraine crisis contained one amusing point: he told Americans they were going to have to suffer more inflation and higher energy prices because he is standing up for freedom in Ukraine! Many Americans love an aggressive foreign policy, but is it not without risk for Biden to blame economic woes at home on an US interventionism overseas?
Russian President Putin's surprise announcement that Russia would recognize two breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine as independent has left the Biden Administration and NATO - as well as the EU - at a loss for how to respond. Is it a war? Limited incursion? Will more sanctions do the trick? Also today: Why is Scotland no longer publishing vax info? And Canada's peaceful protest organizer denied bail, faces years in prison.
Recent developments in eastern Ukraine are increasingly pointing to the direction of a more direct conflict between Ukrainian and Russian forces. The two breakaway eastern regions have evacuated civilians amid OSCE reports of massively increasing mortar and other military attacks over the line of demarcation. Most according to OSCE maps are coming from the Kiev side into the breakaway region. Russia today will according to press reports decide today whether to recognize the breakaway regions as independent. Fasten your seatbelts.
War is government at its worst. When it comes to severe destruction and loss of life, nothing tops government wars. When governments can counterfeit money, wars are exponentially worse than they would be if money were sound. Sound money (like gold and silver) act as a restraint. They cannot be counterfeited. This is the prime reason that governments hate sound money with a passion. Government works overtime to make sure their citizens never even think about sound money's return.
Weekly Update --- Ukraine Crisis: A Nightmare Caused by US Interventionism by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Frenzied US predictions of an impending Russian assault on Kiev have one-by-one fallen by the wayside, leaving the Biden Administration's credibility in tatters. Yet they still persist. Yesterday Biden claimed he "sensed" that they would attack. Today Secretary of State Blinken appeared before the UN claiming that if Russia does NOT attack it would be because they heeded US warnings! Also today: rare victory in San Francisco and Democrats find that the masks are not the electoral panacea they once believed.
Politicians and the obedient media endlessly predicted that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was "imminent." Many even conveniently told us "invasion day" would be today, February 16. Some even told us the time. All were wrong. But they still want us to listen to them. Also today: bipartisan "support" for "invaded" Ukraine in the US Senate. And...The CDC (finally) discovers a thing called "natural immunity" and New Hampshire votes to restore doctor-patient relationship.
After weeks of breathlessly assuring us that Russia was about to attack Ukraine, Russian troops and military equipment are returning to their bases after exercises in Belarus and elsewhere. As they said they would do. What does this teach us about Beltway "Russia experts"? Also today, Canada's Trudeau goes full fascist and Russiagate bizarrely returns with a new US spook attack on ZeroHedge!
The US continues to insist that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could come "at any moment," while the Russians insist they have no interest in an invasion. Is Russia about to call Biden's bluff? Also today: Trudeau claims extraordinary powers to clear out Freedom Truck protesters. And...what happened to Covid?
Inflation is caused by the Fed counterfeiting dollars. No counterfeiter, No inflation. This "system" is unconstitutional and a recipe for severe economic disaster. Money must be sound and counterfeiting must never be legal for anyone. The sooner we adopt sound money, the better. To continue to delay is to continue to recklessly play with fire.
Weekly Update --- Homeschooling Can Save Children from Critical Race Theory and Masks by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Over the past two years many brave souls from all walks of life have refused to kowtow to the narrative demanded by governments across the world. Journalists, doctors, politicians. They might have been in the minority, but they stood their ground. The deserve our thanks. Also today, all the covid conspiracy theories have come true... And: When you lose San Francisco...you've really lost.
An Inspector General investigation has been opened to look into allegations made that the Capitol Hill Police have been entering Members' offices and photographing sensitive legislative information. Will Republicans have the guts to rein in this Praetorian Guard? Also today big Pfizer profits, a big win in Canada, and "blue" states ignoring CDC on kids' masks.
They are desperately hoping that Americans will forget that they were the ones who wanted to "punish" their fellow citizens for not locking down, wearing masks, being forced to take shots. After two years of tyranny, politicians and fake MSM doctors are pretending they were never for any of it. Should they get away with it? Also today: Canadian truckers are threat to democracy, says Canada's PM. And: Rand Paul gets it right about Covid tyranny...
The mayor of Canada's Capital, Ottawa, has declared a state of emergency over the "Freedom Convoy" that has protested for ten days against Covid mandates. He has instructed his police to arrest anyone bringing fuel or any other kind of assistance to the truckers - essentially freezing them out. It is not working. What will they do next? Also today, Rep. Massie lays it on the line over vaccine mandates.
While the Fed, and all of its cheerleaders engender false confidence from the public, they also have false confidence in themselves. That which they believe they can control, they ultimately cannot. Manipulating interest rates and counterfeiting dollars may seem to create short-term benefits, but always at the cost of long-term economic ruin. The long-term always arrives, and always when it's least expected by the "experts."
When government promises you something for free, it's a good idea to look that gift horse in the mouth. Now that the free government facemasks have arrived in stores, this advice is doubly important. Rep. Massie has Tweeted a hilarious photo of your "free" masks. Also today: Republican Party old-liners are freaking out over Tucker Carlson's refusal to get on board with war on Russia.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said yesterday that the Administration approved of Spotify's initial steps of adding warning labels to programs like Joe Rogan's, but she insisted that Spotify and other platforms must "do more" to fight "misinformation." A US Administration at war with the First Amendment? Also today: Justin Trudeau again steps in poo, Illinois state senator wants to send millions to a gulag, and a new Johns Hopkins study devastates the pro-lockdown narrative once and for all.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emerged from hiding yesterday to viciously attack the Freedom Convoy participants, tarring them as racists and even "Nazis." Law enforcement on the scene, however, reports nothing of the sort. Also today: US Surgeon General blames unvaccinated adults for the continued forced masking of children at school.
Millions of Canadians, led by working class truckers, have put their foot down on the political class that has kept them hostage for the past two years. The media hacks scream "extremism" but the movement is going worldwide. Also today - Fauci says three jabs for your kids; Malone disagrees - who do you trust? And UK health workers see the end of the vax mandate.
Over the last century, Americans willingly (and unwillingly) traded in the "American Dream" and freedom for a corporatist system of "rule by experts" and obedience. It was a very bad trade for the people, and a very good trade for the so-called "experts." Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." He was right.
Biden's Surgeon General Vivek Murthy went on MSNBC to join the pile-on on the world's most popular podcaster, Joe Rogan. According to the bureaucrat, Rogan must be silenced because he expresses opinions not endorsed by him or his bosses in the Administration. Meanwhile, Sen. Warren is being sued for trying to get a book she doesn't like censored. Also today: Biden's curious Supreme Court criteria and...why is the media ignoring the largest truck convoy in history?
While the US Embassy in Kiev released a statement urging Americans to leave Ukraine due to the threat of a Russian invasion, the Pentagon continues to back down from the scare stories. The government of Ukraine continues to pour cold water on Biden Admin scare stories. Is this whole thing a dangerous propaganda play? Also today: Most expensive US Naval ship can't even defend itself, which countries are most corrupt, and Fairfax County Schools declare war on new Republican governor (and parents) over masks.
After weeks of hysterically hyping the story that Russia is poised to invade Ukraine, Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby walked way back as Ukraine's own government officials called nonsense on the narrative. Was the whole thing just bluster for ratings? Also today: Capitol Hill Cops spying on social media of staff and visitors for no reason?
The Biden Administration, followed by lapdog UK, appears determined to ratchet up tensions in Ukraine to the point where war is inevitable. From the publicity stunt of evacuating the US Embassy in Kiev to - laughably - accusing Moscow of planning a Ukraine coup, a Biden Administration sinking in public opinion quicksand appears to be grasping for the war option. But...even Ukraine is putting on the brakes!
Government spends trillions that it doesn't have. How? Well, The Fed creates trillions of new dollars out-of-thin air! These trillions drive up prices, creating skyrocketing inflation. Oftentimes, government piles on to the troubles by imposing price controls. Price controls have been tried for thousands of years; always with the same disastrous results -- widespread shortages! Are Americans ready to accept that government interventions and The Federal Reserve only multiply problems?
Weekly Update --- Washington’s Bi-Partisan Russia Bashers Are Determined to Start a War by Ron Paul Liberty Report
There's nothing like a nice little war to rescue sagging popularity ratings and Biden's approval is deep underwater. So is the plan to urge Ukraine to provoke Russia to attack? Republicans will cheer and Democrats will cheer. Only the dead will fail to cheer. Also today: Czech drops vax mandate, Starbucks drops vax mandate, Carhartt...insists on Vax mandate!
Facing a fight for his political life, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced an abrupt end to England's vaccine passport, mask mandates including in schools, and work-from-home orders as the Omicron "scare" fizzles. In Israel, Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman is demanding an end to that country's vax pass. The bricks are falling from this Berlin Wall. Also today: New footage of Ashli Babbitt will NOT please the Jan 6th Committee and a new study out of Brazil will not please Fauci.
Israel's hyper-vaccine policy has hit the skids with a new study showing that the fourth booster is "not good enough" against current covid. Suddenly the vax mandate makes no sense - which has just been admitted by Israel's vaccine chief. Also today: the political war on Novak Djokovic. Finally: shot and boosted chairman of the joint chiefs...comes down with covid! What about those military mandates?
A shocking recent Rasmussen poll result highlights just how divided the US is after two years of covid lockdowns, restrictions, and propaganda. Nearly 50 percent of Democrats polled support fines or imprisonment for anyone questioning efficacy of covid shots on social media! This comes after several of the top "experts" have themselves radically scaled back early promises of shot virus protection. Also today, dissident doc forced to take psych exam and Virginia's new governor hits the ground running! Plus - what's up with new restrictions on Ron Paul's Facebook???
Democracy is a word that never appears in America's founding documents. America was founded as "the land of the free." People fled persecution, from all over the world, to reach America for freedom. America wasn't founded to vote for yourself other people's stuff, or to vote for yourself special privileges from the government. It was Liberty that was sacred; not democracy.
The Biden Justice Department has announced that it is setting up a new "domestic terrorism" division to monitor Americans for "extremism." How do they define it? Among other things, it's being "anti-authority." What could go wrong? Also today, voting reform...or election fixing? Bernie Sanders wants to give you a new face mask! And...major Danish newspaper apologizes to its readers for printing government covid lies.
Sen. Paul was prepared as Anthony Fauci returned to the Senate to face questioning. Previous chapters of this saga have been heated - and revealing - but yesterday's cage match was loaded with truth bombs. Also today - the World Health Organization and the EU's FDA are seemingly backing off boosters - why? Finally, the Project Veritas document dump from DARPA has a few shocking tid-bits about covid treatments...
Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla dropped a bombshell in a CNBC interview yesterday, admitting that his company's Covid "vaccine" offers limited if any protection! He went on to say that a third shot of the same formula does offer some protection. The Biden Administration is in full panic mode as its Covid response lies in tatters. Also today: LA Times columnist believes it's a great idea to mock unvaxxed people who die of covid.
The director of the embattled CDC, Rochelle Walensky, made a shock admission over the weekend: a vast majority of "covid deaths" were among those with FOUR existing co-morbidities! After refusing to even consider the co-morbidity factor when ramping up the fear for two years, suddenly the public health "experts" are falling all over themselves to embrace it. What gives? Politics? Also today - Biden's cruel punishment of Florida for its successful covid strategy. And...AOC has covid! (How is that possible?).
Human life is infinitely complex. Attempting to centrally plan it must always end in failure. The planners inevitably paint themselves into a corner, where every move they make is the wrong move. The return to the reality of freedom is a painful one for those who believed in 'the plan.'
The battle today over how to categorize events of Jan. 6th, 2020 will fall along predictable lines, whether one watches CNN or Fox etc. But beyond the contrived talk of "insurrection" or "not insurrection" are plenty of good examples of actual subversion and insurrection over the past several years. Don't expect to see them covered in the MSM...only on the Liberty Report!
Israel is on its fourth covid shot now and just today the country reported a new covid case record. Cases are going through the roof despite all vax efforts. What does this mean, particularly as Fauci yesterday suggested that the US was soon to go down Israel's path of endless "boosters" every few months. Also today, France's Macon says non-vaxxed in France are "not citizens." Sound familiar?
In a recent interview with the Epoch Times, Dr. Peter McCullough claimed that the US government is actively working to suppress any investigation of outpatient Covid treatments. As the Omicron variant appears to be infecting the vaccinated as well as the unvaccinated, the question increasingly being asked is why after two years are there no treatments? Also today, an insurance company CEO blows the whistle on a shocking increase in working-age deaths last year. Finally - a victory for Navy Seals suing for medical freedom.
Germany's official government health authority reported last week that 90 plus percent of new Omicron variant cases are among vaccinated individuals, obliterating the long-repeated claim that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Other narratives are also crumbling - former FDA head Scott Gottlieb says cloth masks are useless. What will the covid authoritarians do next?
To all who join us each day on the Ron Paul Liberty Report, we wish you a very Happy New Year!
Fauci is again in front of the camera, hectoring people to stay home on New Year's - and whatever they do, DON'T hug each other to greet the New Year. What's wrong with this guy? Also today - is Biden purposely withholding a proven Covid treatment? Florida's Surgeon General says so. And...is a massive purge of Marines who have religious objections to the vaccine a way to "honor the troops"? Every single request has been denied. Fraud?
Thanks to a FOIA request we now know that Biden's covid czar Anthony Fauci will, when he retires, enjoy the highest pension in US history! He will be pulling in more than $350K for his 50+ years of "public service." But according to Fauci he has no plans of leaving: in a recent interview he said that him retiring now, before covid is defeated, would be like the US leaving in the middle of World War II. How's that for megalomania? Also today: lockdowns were the worst policy failure in history and even a government-funded study proves it.
President Biden told US governors this week that there is no federal solution to the ongoing covid "crisis." "It's up to all of you," he essentially told them. While it's good news for people living in mostly free states like Florida and Texas, governors in New York and other authoritarian states and localities may use this as permission to crack down harder. But one thing is clear: with no more federal in the war on covid, there should be no more federal mandates in the war on covid. Done! Also today: Fauci suggests, then retreats from, a position that a vaccine pass should be required for domestic travel. Is Fauci's "sell-by" date expired?
Exclusive! Senator Rand Paul joins the Liberty Report to discuss the massive errors - driven by arrogance - committed by White House coronavirus advisor Anthony Fauci. Dr. Fauci's insistence on ignoring natural immunity and his refusal to consider therapeutics have cost thousands and thousands of lives! And here's a bombshell you'll only here in today's Liberty Report: Sen. Paul's shocking explanation of why the coming mid-term elections will be Fauci's worst nightmare!
Today's Liberty Report is something completely different! Senator Rand Paul's wife Kelley joins Carol Paul to share Paul family Christmas memories. You will not want to miss this wonderful program!
Although the omicron variant is rapidly vanishing in its South African country of origin, US tyrants like Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Fauci are still trying to ramp up the fear to put Americans against Americans. Lightfoot's threats against a class of people have no place in a civilized country. Also today: New York officials redefine "vaxxed" and Alex Berenson sues Twitter.
According to Swiss newspaper Blick, the large Austrian city of Linz is hiring people - at a hefty salary - to hunt down their fellow citizens who have not come forward to take the government-mandated covid shot. They are promised plenty of overtime. Meanwhile, a new study out of South Africa - the home of omicron - shows that those who get the variant are 80 percent less likely to end up in hospital. So...why is Europe becoming a totalitarian hellhole over it? Also today, Bill Gates tries to re-write history.
Headlines are screaming about the rapid increase in the omicron variant. It's taking over! We are told it is much more easily spread than previous strains of the virus...but what role is testing playing in driving up the numbers? Also today - the US military is screening out extremists - but who are the real extremists? Finally: omicron outbreak in the triple-vaxxed White House? Is it possible?
Busted by their own emails! Fauci and his boss, NIH Director Francis Collins, engaged in a conspiracy to defame and destroy the work of three prominent scientists from Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford, which challenged the Fauci/Collins lockdown strategy to address last year's virus outbreak. Thanks to a Freedom of Information request we see how Anthony "I'm the science" Fauci really operates behind the scenes. Also today, Fauci says force your fully-vaxxed family members to take a covid test before tucking into the turkey.
It turns out inflation is not "transitory" after all. It's much worse! But should anyone be surprised, considering the Fed has created more new dollars than at any other time in history? The Fed is yet another example of the "failure of the experts." America was meant to be a land of individual liberty, not a land of ruling "experts." The economic problem can be fixed with sound money and free markets.
CEOs of Southwest Airlines and American Airlines testified before Congress this week that forcing people to wear masks on board their planes does little if anything to prevent spread of the virus. As predicted, Dem Members freaked out after hearing this blow to their deep faith. Also today...Cornell University closes again after new outbreak...among fully vaxxed. Navy begins booting unvaxxed sailors. South African health authorities can't figure out why US and Europe are locking down again over Omicron.
A couple of weeks into the Omicron hysteria - where Europe has gone full totalitarian out of fear - some uncomfortable (for the lockdowners) truths are emerging: early data shows that Omicron is infecting those who are "fully vaccinated" at a much higher rate than the unvaccinated. "Experts" say that a third shot of the same stuff will do the trick, but amid the ongoing collapse of Biden's vax mandates in the US, the uptake is understandably anemic. Also today: Segregation in Denver, Amtrak ditches vax mandate, and NY counties tell the vax-mandating governor to take a hike.
A prominent German researcher has published findings in the British medical journal The Lancet his evidence that vaccinated individuals are increasingly driving infection and thus referring to a "pandemic of the unvaccinated" is harmful and unnecessary. Was it all just propaganda and fearmongering? Also today, nurses are quitting vax mandate hospitals in droves and signing up for more pay where their personal freedom is valued. And...hold off on that holiday booking to Hong Kong!!!
Bestselling author Alex Berenson has written a powerful piece detailing specifically how the covid panic appears to finally be ending in the U.S. Also today, rebels in the UK parliament, Austria reverts, and Fauci bloviates about shots in kids.
One strategy of avoiding default is to stop going into debt that you can never manage. Another (very odd) strategy is to keep going into debt and pretend that everything is OK. One strategy of halting rising prices, is to stop printing new dollars out-of-thin-air. Another (very odd) strategy is to keep printing dollars and pretend that everything will be OK. What the U.S. government is doing is very odd. Everything is not OK.
As Biden's vaccine mandates continue to be smacked down by courts, as the Senate has held a bipartisan vote rejecting mandates, as even Democrats are - according to media reports - "souring" on vaccine mandates, Fauci was asked in a MSNBC interview whether it might be time to back down a bit. Not at all! - was Fauci's response. If people won't take the shots they must be forced to take the shots, he replied. Also today - are UK's ICUs filled with the unvaccinated? Should we change the definition of "fully vaccinated"? Finally - how many Big Apple residents will DeBlasio put on the streets with his vax mandate?
Biden's vaccine mandates continue to drop like flies, with a US Federal Judge in Georgia yesterday blocking the Administration's Federal contractor vax mandate nationwide. Previously the Medicare and OSHA mandates have been blocked nationwide. Key question: the Administration has admitted these mandates are a "work-around" from Constitutional limitations - isn't that illegal? Also today: you'll never guess which states have the highest Covid hospitalizations. And...get ready for your six doses per year!
After weeks of US claims that Russia is about to invade Ukraine - because it is moving troops on its own soil - today's Biden-Putin video meeting is billed as a way to release building pressure. The irony is that the US, with over 700 bases across the globe, is demanding that Russia stop moving its troops within Russia even as NATO members continue to add troops and sophisticated weapons in Ukraine. The Russia-Ukraine open wound is the poster child for the idiocy of US interventionist foreign policy. What's at stake and what to expect? Also today - Oregon's insane dictator goes to Washington.
Outgoing New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio is going out with a bang! He announced today that ALL employers in the Big Apple must require their workers to take the Covid shots or be fired. It is a decision that will hurt black NYC residents the most, but the mayor doesn't seem to care much about those black lives. Meanwhile, a cruise ship has arrived in Louisiana with a fully vaxxed crew, a fully vaxxed group of passengers...and at least 17 covid cases! But not to worry - they are all asymptomatic. Hmmm. Something fishy about that one. This and more on today's Liberty Report.
Attempting to micromanage human economic life by counterfeiting money and manipulating interest rates is a fool's errand. Ultimately, those who attempt it must corner themselves into an impossible situation. Nothing they do works. Everything they do fails. The costs of keeping the illusion going become overwhelming. Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
The professionals working most closely with the new "omicron" variant of the virus are reporting that the symptoms are extremely mild - more like a common cold. Yet Germany has locked its "underclass" of unvaxxed citizens and Austria has locked everybody down. How does this make any sense?

According to the Washington Post, the Biden Administration is expected tomorrow to force ALL travelers to the US - Americans and foreigners alike - to take a Covid test within a day of travel AND to self-quarantine for seven days after arrival. Vaxxed and unvaxxed alike! Government internment of all arrivals? Are we becoming Australia? Also today, the Biden vax mandates continue to take severe body blows in the courts, with the government contractor mandate being overturned yesterday. Also...Cramer's mad rant - what's he on?
From California eastward, US courts keep ruling against President Biden's attempt to force Americans to take the experimental virus shots. And the President has been forced to quietly back off of his threat to fire Federal workers who refuse the jab. Is freedom winning? Also today, leading expert says new variant may spell the end of Covid-19 altogether!
Thanksgiving weekend was rocked by reports of a new Covid mutation, quickly named "Omicron Variant," which resulted in lockdown-happy "public health officials" across the globe pushing the panic button. Actual doctors reporting from "ground zero" in South Africa, however, report that the infections thus far from the new mutation are much more mild than the "Delta Variant." Also today: Fauci jumps the shark, claiming that "I represent science!"
Weekly Update --- Biden’s Numbers Tank…as US Rattles Sabers At Russia by Ron Paul Liberty Report
It's not the business of the U.S. federal government to "stockpile" anything. But as usual with government, the "emergency" and "fear" cards are used as excuses for it to stockpile oil. However, we know not only from theory, but from practical experience, that in any emergency, the very last people that you want allocating resources are people in the federal government.
In the effort to politicize every single thing in our lives, news outlets such as MSNBC have taken to attacking Thanksgiving as a celebration of "white supremacy." It's all absurd and should stop immediately. In response, Ron Paul shares a bit about what his Thanksgiving will be like this year...and he has one very funny story to tell.
Fauci made another circuit through the adoring media yesterday, again accusing anyone of pointing out his lack of honesty and constant moving the goal posts of "killing people." Senator Paul has a great retort to this absurd and, frankly, unhinged claim. Also today: "Don't call looting looting!"
Outgoing National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins told the Washington Post that critics of Fauci and his organization are spreading misinformation and should be "brought to justice." He continues the "I am science" argument of Fauci even as the multitude of flip-flops and failed promises have undermined public confidence. Also today: Australia goes full gulag, medical devices are "racist," and the corporate elite are desperate to sell Africa drugs they don't seem to need...
In an interview with the New York Times earlier this month, Fauci made a startling revelation: the vaccine wanes so seriously that it doesn't even protect against hospitalization and death! His solution? MORE shots. Will America keep listening to him? Also today: South Korea got fully vaxxed...then they all got covid! What's going on here?

Just a day after announcing that the unvaccinated would lose all basic human rights, the Austrian government took it a stage further and ruled that the entire country would lose its basic human rights. Back to a nationwide lockdown to control a covid outbreak that was not controlled last time by a nationwide lockdown. Make sense? Also...as the AP reports, experts are "baffled" that in unvaccinated Africa, where there have been no lockdowns, there are very few covid cases and deaths are a tiny fraction of those in Europe and the US per capita. Finally today: Fauci demands three jabs and Biden's approval rating continues to freefall.
Across Europe, from Germany to Italy, governments are placing millions under house arrest for the "crime" of not being "fully" vaccinated. While there is no public health justification for the move - we know from experts such as the CDC Director that the vaxxed continue to spread the virus - there is a distinct punitive intent. Those who do not follow the orders - as irrational as the orders - are to be denied basic human rights. Haven't we seen this movie before?
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have revealed what appears to be a blockbuster whistleblower document showing how the FBI was instructed to add a "tag" to mark "threats" that parents might pose to school boards, schools, and teachers. Garland vehemently denied such a tag was authorized in testimony before Congress. Also today...as the vax continues to fail in its basic functions, Biden is set to demand boosters for all Americans. What could go wrong? And...big Pharma is making $1K per SECOND profit on the shots - corporatism?

Government officials are infamously known for doubling-down on failed policies, especially when the results of those policies are out-of-sight and out-of-mind. But Covid authoritarianism is in everyone's face. For many people, masks are still forced onto their faces! The doubling-down on failure needs to stop.
Last week, Ron Paul joined the Restoring Our Civil Liberties webinar put on by the Future of Freedom Foundation. He presented an examination of how efforts to bring about equality and safety via government dictate threaten liberty and property rights.
Rising prices are amongst the many problems that the Biden Administration has created for the American people. But is Biden solely responsible for it? No. Previous Republican and Democrat administrations made their contributions with record government spending & the debts that they accrued. But the source of the inflation problem is always The Federal Reserve. For it is the unconstitutional counterfeiter that enables the politicians to destroy the economy.
The US Surgeon General sharply rebuffed actor (and possible politician) Matthew McConaughey for saying in public that he is not rushing to get his kids a covid vaccine. The top US Doc also issued a handy "tool-kit" to help stop "misleading" covid memes from spreading. Also today, Israel prepares for war...against the virus. And Europe (well most of it) sees cases rising this autumn despite mask mandates, vax mandates, vax passes, etc. How is this possible?
In an interview with government-funded Atlantic Council, the CEO of Pfizer made the shocking statement that people who spread "misinformation" about his covid vaccines are "criminals." Who determines what is "misinformation"? In the same interview he made the shocking admission that his company regularly receives CIA and FBI briefings! Also today: Biden goes full East Germany on his vax mandate and Bill Gates (!!!) comes out with sharp criticism of the covid vaccines!
With gasoline and diesel prices at a seven year high and inflation raging, the Biden Administration's plummet in the polls continues. The lofty aspirations of those pushing a "green agenda" - with shutdowns of pipelines - is meeting the hard reality of a country on the economic brink. Who will blink? Also today: Dissent within Fauci's ranks, State Farm stands up for Aaron Rodgers, and MASSIVE Los Angeles protest against vax mandate.
President Biden's approval numbers have hit a new low - the upper 37 percent range - as his administration continues to talk up "Russian troop build-up" near Ukraine. Is the saber-rattling meant as a distraction? Also today: Where's Gavin Newsom? Why is Italy adjusting its Covid numbers? New worrying study on vax effectiveness. And...New Jersey politics.
The value of individual liberty is becoming apparent to far more people today than from just a couple of years ago. With government in everyone's face and attempting to coerce chemicals into everyone's body, the pain has become all too real. Individual liberty, free markets, and sound money are the only lifeboats that will actually float. Are enough Americans ready to jump into them yet?
Seemingly unaware of the pummeling his party took at the polls this week, President Biden is doubling down on his "mandate" that American workers must take the covid shot or be fired. Lockdown politicians from Seattle to Virginia were tossed out - even almost the lockdown governor of New Jersey - by the same voters Biden has declared war on. Meanwhile, in formerly lockdown Canada Ontario and Quebec announced an end to mandatory vaccines for health workers.
The shock votes in yesterday's elections - particularly in Virginia and New Jersey - have upended the Democratic Party juggernaut that has prevailed since the 2020 elections. Who are the real winners and losers from yesterday? Also - Minneapolis says "no" to BLM-inspired police defunding, a Pfizer whistleblower, and the CDC's old switcheroo on vax definition is exposed.
Mainstream media can no longer ignore the growing rebellion among US workers over the demands that they take an experimental vaccine for the "privilege" of working. As Reuters puts it today, "From Boeing to Mercedes, A US Worker Rebellion Swells Over Vaccine Mandates." Will Washington destroy the economy to push the shot? Also today, mainstream Newsweek publishes, "How Fauci Fooled America." Is the truth starting to come out?
A recent article in Politico spells trouble for Democrats, who sought to run on mandates, forced vax, and even shutdowns: the American voter is fed up with Covid and ready to move on. Will Republicans benefit from this shift? Also today: White House Spox Jen Psaki is a double vaxxer and a double masker...but she just announced that she's got the virus. What gives? And...MEP becomes hero with Patrick Henry-like speech.
Fed-created inflation and government-created shortages...It doesn't have to be this way. Many of our American ancestors lived under much more favorable monetary conditions. For almost an entire century, the dollar would consistently purchase more goods and services, not less! Standards of living rose as a result of sound money. We can return to such circumstances once again. All that is needed is the will.
Weekly Update --- Will Biden Start Nuclear War with China Over Taiwan? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Why do so many members of the FDA Panel that just approved the covid shot for young children seem to have ongoing ties to Pfizer? Is the panel's objectivity compromised? Also today: Danish authorities threaten more lockdowns, Ireland's most-jabbed are also most new cases, and Biden threatens vax refusers with "re-education."
Shocking...but at the same time, not shocking. An FDA panel has voted in favor of giving Covid shots to children aged 5-11. Daniel McAdams & Chris Rossini discuss this story, along with the latest on Assange, Jan. 6, and "Good Information, Inc."
Conventional wisdom - particularly as pushed by the mainstream media - is that our current economic bottle-necking, inflation, and labor shortages are all caused by the "pandemic" that emerged early last year. If it's anyone's fault, it's the fault of the virus, not the noble politicians who spent the past year fighting the virus. Is that true? Mises Institute President Jeff Deist joins today's Liberty Report to smash conventional wisdom and lay the blame where it belongs.
Revelations over the weekend of horrific dog torture experiments funded by Fauci have unleashed a massive wave of demands that Biden's top Covid advisor be not only fired, but arrested. Will he survive another scandal? Also today: Sweden permanently suspends Moderna jab, Austria looking at lockdown again, CDC considering re-defining "fully vaccinated," and more...
By creating many trillions of new dollars out-of-thin-air, the Federal Reserve set in motion an economic disaster. The warnings are over. Inflation is now here. Every excuse imaginable will be offered up as "reasons" for the economic pain. Don't be deceived. The unconstitutional Federal Reserve is the problem.
In a letter to a Member of Congress yesterday the Principle Deputy Director of the National Institutes of Health admitted that his agency - contrary to Fauci's claims - did fund gain-of-function research on bats and viruses. Over to you, Fauci... Also today: "Boosters! Get yer boosters here! All ages, all sizes!" And...DeSantis stands up to the tyrant heading the DoJ (sic).
Subscribe to the Ron Paul Institute's free email newsletter: http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/subscribe
Nuclear scientists dismissed. First responders booted. Doctors and nurses axed. Pilots put on leave. And Biden's "mandate" has not even been promulgated by OSHA. The country is being ripped apart...and that may be just what they want. Meanwhile, Biden's numbers continue an express elevator downward. What's the end game?
The death this week of former Secretary of State Colin Powell reminds us of his ignoble role in selling the lies that led to the destruction of Iraq and a million deaths. It was one big lie, but the empire itself is built upon lies. Also today: Nebraska allows virus treatment drugs to be prescribed, Chicago mayor warns of an "insurrection" by the police, and Americans confirm they are sick of government.
Fauci made the mainstream media rounds again over the weekend, this time "granting his permission" for Americans to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas...but only if they are vaccinated. Will Americans continue to heed his demands? Also today: 40% of California's public workers are not vaccinated, Colin Powell passes from Covid, and new footage from the "insurrection..."
No one is safer from Covid than children. And yet, President Biden announced that the government has purchased "enough vaccines for all children between the ages of 5 and 11 in the United States." For sure, vaccine makers are pleased. But does this make any sense whatsoever?
The head of the Chicago police officers union has advised Chicago Police Department officers to refuse to disclose their vax status to city officials, as they face a Friday deadline to disclose or be fired. He warns that this weekend may see 50 percent fewer cops. With Chicago already a killing zone, what will happen with only half the cops? Also today - creating doctor shortages, the virus religion, and a good news story from the rock music world.
Thanks to good investigative reporting by The Daily Wire, the full horror of the story of one ninth grade girl assaulted in a Loudoun County school bathroom has come out. The father was vilified as a "domestic terrorist" for calling the school board out on sweeping the assault under the rug. Now the tables are turning. Also today, a brave Wyoming teen stands up for principle and an update on Southwest Airlines and the vax mandate ban in Texas.
In a surprise move yesterday, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott issued an executive order forbidding any entity in the state of Texas from mandating a Covid-19 vaccine. He followed up the order by putting the issue before the Texas legislature to codify it into law. What does the order mean for companies operating inside of Texas? What does it mean for nurses being fired for refusing the shot? What does it mean for Southwest Airlines, which is headquartered in Texas? Will the weather clear up for the airline?
Southwest Airlines is facing hundreds more cancellations - the fourth straight day. Rumors suggest more carriers may follow Southwest pilots' lead. Hundreds of thousands of US troops are defying Biden's mandate. Biden's poll numbers are historically low. Has the imperial presidency experienced imperial over-reach? Is the tide turning?
When Liberty is sacrificed, authoritarians destroy. When authoritarians destroy, they never (ever) "build back better." When authoritarians destroy, everything stays destroyed, until Liberty is returned. It's not "different this time." It's never different.
Andrew Wiggins of The Golden State Warriors was forced to make a decision that no one should ever be forced to make. He did not want the vaccine, but was cornered into taking. He's understandably concerned about what the shot may do to his body in the future.
Big Pharma Merck is set to rake in billions of dollars from its new "not-ivermectin" Covid treatment - despite the US taxpayer paying for the drug's original development. Also today - no wonder Attorney General Merrick Garland loves Critical Race Theory: His family is set to make big bucks from pushing the curriculum to classrooms across the country.
President Biden's "Justice" Department has directed the FBI to investigate parents attending school board meetings to protest mandatory mask mandates and the teaching of Marxist "Critical Race Theory" for possible "domestic terrorism." Is this about protecting school boards...or silencing political opposition? Also today, the debate over "natural immunity" is heating up.
The illogical and tyrannical idea of "vaccine passports" are having the very predictable effect of crushing business in NYC. All people and businesses outside of NYC should take note. For everyone besides the authoritarians, no good outcomes should be expected from "vaccine passports."
The usual "debt ceiling" theatrics have reappeared. We're again greeted with the propaganda that if the most indebted government in the history of the world doesn't continue to go deeper into debt, the world would grind to a halt. But economic "crisis," which is really a painful return to economic reality, is inevitable. The real "crisis" is continuing to dig a deeper hole. So it's certainly time to think about getting one's own person financial house in order.
Although the Australian government has reluctantly abandoned it's "zero-Covid" policy, which they admit did not work, the same authoritarian mindset dominates its new strategy. If you don't take the health policy steps demanded by the government, you will be essentially under house arrest "indefinitely." If police brutality we have seen in Australia recently were taking place in any country on the US "enemies" list, there would be sanctions and even threats of a "liberation."
Former Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo has responded to a recent Yahoo News investigation detailing Trump Administration plans to kidnap or kill Wikileaks founder Julian Assange that he makes "no apologies" for whatever measure his agency planned to take to safeguard "sensitive information." Also today: new public opinion data carries some bad news for President Biden.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul went into a bizarre rant in front of a church congregation, shifting a public health problem into one of religious significance. Is this starting to look like a cult instead of science? Also, Gov. Hochul signs executive order to fire thousands of nurses - amidst a critical shortage of nurses in NY. Make sense?
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has chosen to ignore the recommendation of her own panel of medical professional experts that booster shots were not necessary for the vast majority of the population. Walensky has sided with the vax manufacturers and endorsed boosters, promising even more astronomical profits for Big Pharma. Science...or politics? Also today: Norway dumps all existing coronavirus restrictions while Netherlands adopts Soviet-style internal digital passports, allowing only vaxxed to take part in daily life? Science and science?
Will Covid tyranny usher in Climate tyranny? Will Covid lockdowns morph into Climate lockdowns? Will Covid lies be replaced by Climate lies? Not if enough think that enough is enough! Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
The Biden Administration is demanding that members of the US military who refuse the covid shot be DISHONORABLY discharged! The Administration is also taking aim at military members who prefer to pass on the vax because they have natural immunity from a previous infection. Is this about discipline...or about a political purge of the military? Also today: cancer deaths in UK will skyrocket due to covid lockdowns and care restrictions. Do the world covid elites have an endgame now that their narrative has failed?
Americans on the Left and Right are finding themselves in rare agreement: whatever their position on immigration they view Biden's handling of the mass influx of Haitians at the Texas border as a disaster. How is it possible to have bungled so badly? What is to be done? Also today: "Ten for the big guy" turns out to be fact, not Russian disinformation. So now what? And a shocking discovery from JP Morgan on the Delta Variant.
Weekly Update --- ‘Justice for J6 Rally’: A Set-Up or a Psy-Op? by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The match that lit the flame was likely the announcement by the government that all construction projects would be put on hold for two weeks to punish construction workers who opposed the mandatory vax. Now, a worker-led rebellion is spreading with protestors shutting down freeways and more. Will the tyranny finally be defeated? Also today, Louisiana State University "unenrolls" students who haven't complied with their vax/testing mandate - but they only return half the money! Finally: masks and distancing are only for the little people. The elites flaunt the rules again and again...
With Fauci's strong endorsement, the White House is reportedly giving serious consideration to a "no shot, no fly" rule to prohibit Americans who have not taken the covid shot from traveling by air within the United States. Will Biden destroy civilian air travel to punish those who do not want his preferred medical treatment? Also today, former FDA chief admits that the "six foot" social distancing rule was not "the science" but in fact made up out of thin air. And: Biden's antibodies war on Texas and Florida.
We are sorry that today's show was cut short. Our Internet connection went down. We think it may be related to the recent storm. We will leave the show up as is. Have a great weekend, and thank you for watching!
Just as "vaccine passports" are meant to control movement, so is a "cashless society" meant to control your economic life and what you can purchase. Just as the arguments for "vaccine passports" make no logical sense, neither does having all of your money under government (or crony corporate) control make any economic sense. Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
Weekly Update --- Twenty Years On, We’ve Learned Nothing From 9/11 by Ron Paul Liberty Report
The US, UK, and Australia have announced a new alliance aimed at "countering China's influence." The deal includes cancelling an Aus/French deal for French submarines and the Australian purchase of US nuclear subs instead. Who, aside from the military contractors, benefits from ramping up war footing? Also today, ramping up virus fear tactics and a strange NYT Tweet on effectiveness.
Who are the real insurrectionists? Yesterday's release from an upcoming Bob Woodword book in the last days of Trump claiming that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Milley, had established secret back-channel contacts with the commander of China's People's Liberation Army outside the chain of command looks, if true, to be far more of an insurrectionist move than the protesters of Jan 6th. Who really runs things? Also today, more Fauci hypocrisy, strange numbers out of Israel, and...is Biden punishing Alabama?
The mainstream publication The Atlantic has written about a blockbuster new study undertaken by Harvard and Tufts Medical Schools along with the VA which found that the most important measure of covid intensity may be misleading: half of the "Covid" patients hospitalized were found to have no symptoms or mild symptoms. The implications - especially as hospitalizations are used to justify ever-more restrictive measures - are enormous. Also today: Fauci says no jab no flight and rebellion within the FDA over booster shots.
Governors of 27 states (thus far) have announced that they would oppose President Biden's announced dictate that any company with 100 or more employees must force vaccines or weekly testing. Biden has announced that he would "roll over" governors who get in the way...but are the storm clouds of rebellion gathering? Also today: Fauci stumped on CNN over "natural immunity." And - UK shocker: Vax passport dropped amid widespread rebellion in parliament.
President Biden's overreach has reached unprecedented levels. He gave an outrageous speech yesterday, which laid out an outrageously unconstitutional "plan." The marriage of Big Government & Big Corporations is now on full display. Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
Weekly Update --- Authoritarianism Pandemic is the Real Threat by Ron Paul Liberty Report
Prior to Covid, the American Civil Liberties Union denounced mandates and coercive measures to fight pandemics. One should expect nothing less, of course. But recently, in a bizarre statement, the ACLU flipped and stated “Far from compromising them, vaccine mandates actually further civil liberties.” They couldn't be more wrong. Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
All crises are local. For eighteen months it has mattered whether you live in Florida or New York; whether you live in Sweden or Australia. The idea that a single nucleus of centralized power can "manage" the world is unraveling before our very eyes. Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
As Covid authoritarianism continues, breakthroughs of truth, courage and peaceful resistance abound. A FOIA request has revealed that Fauci lied about funding gain-of-function research. Massive resistance around the world against "vaccine passports" continues on. But there is also plenty of absurdity as the UK vaccines minister said that children could override their parents on getting the vaccines. Don't miss today's Liberty Report!
In 2011, Ron Paul sat down for a short interview with Judy Woodruff of PBSNewsHour. Enjoy!
Today's guest on the Ron Paul Liberty Report is Murray Sabrin, author of a new book that describes why the current system of employer-based insurance and government programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare are financially untenable and yield less than optimal outcomes for patients.

Weekly Update --- Afghanistan: A Tragically Stupid War Comes to a Tragic End by Ron Paul Liberty Report
We live in unprecedented times. Never has the entire world faced authoritarianism on this scale before. Never has there been a financial bubble of this magnitude, that also encompasses the entire world. Naturally, a bust of the magnitude that we are facing will need a lot of creative and liberty-driven people to rebuild what is destroyed by the power-hungry. What can be done? How can it be done? We attempt to tackle these towering questions on today's Liberty Report!
As time goes on, the insidious nature of "vaccine passports" continues to come into view. Should such a "system" be adopted worldwide, totalitarianism would exist like never before. We're already starting to see that the "fully vaccinated" can once again be considered "unvaccinated," as the number of shots required increases. Who's to say that the "passports" must be limited to vaccines in the future? Once in place, can't people be restricted from movement for any other reason that governments desire?
By the logic used by the US Department of Justice to exonerate Capitol Hill Police officer Michael Byrd in theJan. 6th shooting of Ashli Babbitt, hundreds of other protesters on that day - and in previous protests across the country last year - could have been shot and killed. Also today, interest in homeschooling is soaring. Is this the end of the state re-education camps for kids?
After 20 years and countless thousands of deaths on both sides, it is time for the most difficult questions to be asked about the US war on Afghanistan. Did they all die in vain? Also today, with this war over, the Washington war machine is cranking up more enemy narratives. And...Israel mandates new shot, Denmark ends all Covid restrictions, and a new study confirms superiority of natural immunity.
The late and great Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises was the individual who logically conquered the impracticability and unworkability of Socialism, Communism & Fascism. But just because an idea can't work, doesn't mean that those with a lust for power won't attempt to pull it off anyway. These bad ideas end in a catastrophe that Mises called a "Crack-up Boom." Are you ready for it?
For several days mainstream media outlets have been reporting stories on the Covid narrative that they would not have touched just months ago. Early treatment to avoid hospitalization? Rapidly fading efficacy of the shot? Serious doubts on the wisdom of a "booster" regime? All of this had been until very recently considered anathema to the MSM. So what's changing and why? Also today, an update and reflection on breaking news from Afghanistan.
Bloomberg is reporting that the CDC now says the formerly 90 percent plus efficacy of the covid shots is now down to 66 percent efficacy. What does that tanking efficacy mean as we see increasing demands for vaccine passports and other restrictions? Also...Fauci is NOW saying that early treatments, particularly monoclonal antibodies, for covid can cut hospitalizations by 85 percent. Florida Governor DeSantis was attacked for saying the same thing last week. And...Afghanistan update: who really won?
In the wake of yesterday's FDA approval of the Pfizer shot, Biden's Covid advisor Anthony Fauci has blasted back onto the television screens, screeching that while he likes freedom there are times we must give up freedom...and take the shot! Meanwhile Biden is demanding that the private sector turn into the shot police and install mandates on their workers and customers. As Afghanistan unravels, is this dramatic ramping up of authoritarianism at home meant to be a distraction?
The Food and Drug Administration has just approved the Pfizer covid shot, paving the way for the roll-out of vaccine mandates across the public and private sector. Will there be push-back? Also today, the FBI shoots down Jan 6th "insurrection" myth and former head of CIA and NSA calls for unvaccinated Trump supporters to be sent to Afghanistan to be killed...
Since Nixon's detachment of the dollar from gold, fiat money has been a decades long failure. It has financed overwhelming government interventions, both at home and abroad. A government that can lean on The Fed to counterfeit money is a government that is financially unrestrained by the people. Reforms are coming as the monetary failure reaches a crescendo.
The mask debate is again raging in the US, and again it is becoming a political football. Red state governors are attacked in the mainstream media for not re-imposing mask mandates while blue state governors where cases are increasing get a pass. So what's it all about? Public health? Also today - the California recall is becoming a referendum on masks and mandates. Finally - should we import thousands of Afghans?
The lightening-fast Taliban takeover of Afghanistan has left billions of dollars of US weapons scattered around the country for the taking. And this doesn't just mean rifles or handguns. After 20 years of fighting them, the US has turned into the Taliban's biggest weapons supplier. But the US arms merchants got paid...
There was much to approve of in President Biden's speech explaining his decision to pull out of Afghanistan...and a few yellow flags of caution. We'll discuss the good and the bad. Also today: beware of new and dangerous legislation introduced in Congress. New Zealand madness. And more...
The race is on to blame Biden for the dramatic fall of Saigon...er...Kabul over the weekend. Politicos who've been most responsible for the 20 year disaster continuing are now pointing fingers elsewhere. The truth is there is plenty of blame to go around...but will we finally learn the lessons? Also today, new threats according to Homeland Security...you'll never guess what they are?
When everything (except infrastructure) is considered "infrastructure," politicians are basically saying that they're going to take your money, and they can make up any excuse that they want to do so. The role of government must be seriously reconsidered. We have deviated extremely far from the American government's original role of protecting individual liberty and keeping the peace.
Mainstream media would have us believe that those who are resisting the pressure to take the shot are low-educated, knuckle-dragging neanderthals. A new study provides some surprising evidence to the contrary. Also today, mainstream media nervous about vax effectiveness, Texas blue regions in open revolt, a teacher's plea, and more...
A survivor of the Nazi Holocaust delivers a powerful speech slamming the view that somehow the unvaccinated are unclean and spreading disease in society - she remembers such tactics from her horrible past in Nazi Germany! Also today, Rand banned, Abbott's mask battles, Swiss police rebel, and more...
Busted! Just hours after attacking Sen. Rand Paul for what she claimed was his not taking the virus seriously, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was seen Partying and dancing at a maskless wedding party! Today's episode explores several more of these examples of hypocrisy and lies, including something really smelly from down under...
Infamous "Dr. Lockdown" Oxford epidemiologist predicted doom and gloom in the UK should they allow "freedom day" to occur. 200K infections per day! The reality is about one-tenth that. This is just like his (also wildly inaccurate) doom and gloom initial covid predictions upon which the world lockdowns were based. Also today, Obama and the hypocrites.
Central planning always fails, without exception. Civilization is never created from a blueprint developed in the imaginations of a few elitists. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Civilization is always destroyed by central planners. So why do people constantly find themselves suffering under the yolk of utopians, when the only possible endgame is failure?
Watching these early months of the Biden Administration it’s hard not to think that lying, deceiving, and manipulation is rising to a whole new level.
Well-known Baylor University professor of medicine Dr. Peter Hotez published an article last month calling for criticism of Fauci and other scientists of his political persuasion to be prosecuted as a "hate crime." He admonished active pursuit of "far-right anti-science aggression." Also today, Fauci turns the fear up to "11" - warning that the variants are coming, the variants are coming! And Biden Covid Advisor Dr. Osterholm reveals some interesting truths about masking and plexiglass barriers. Finally...Biden to order all active-duty service-members to take the shot. Haven't we seen this before?
In televised remarks yesterday, President Biden urged private businesses and universities to institute a China-style "social credit" system whereby some individuals are denied basic rights and privileges if they hold "wrong" views on matters such as health and medicine. How far will this go? Also today, NIH Director urges parents to wear masks in front of their children...in the home! And, major European newspaper editor apologized to readers over his publications of hysterical Covid coverage.
President Biden's Covid coordinator said in a recent press conference that incentives to people to take the shot are not enough. It's time for some "requirements" he said. Biden himself said that he is looking into whether the federal government can force all of America to take the shot. Tyranny? Also today - the strange continuing case of Jan. 6 police suicides. Coincidence?
Fauci has warned that the US faces more pain and suffering with the "delta variant," as some signs suggest a peak in early states. Meanwhile, the Biden Administration has left Americans totally confused with contradictory information about the shot and breakthrough cases and masks. Is it any wonder skepticism is growing?
The combination of government (power) and corporations (money) is a toxic marriage. It is not the proper role of government to intervene in the economy, and to tilt the tables in any direction through force. The proper role of government is to protect liberty and settle disputes when force, fraud, or the breaking of a contract takes place. The American people are learning this painful lesson the hard way.
Even much of the mainstream media is confused and frustrated by yesterday's sudden flip-flop by the CDC, advising that everyone once again begin wearing masks indoors. They claimed it was because the "delta" variant was eluding the vaccine, while at the same time continuing to claim that the vaccine was very effective and that everyone should take it. Both of these things cannot be true...and most Americans understand that. Will the push-back on this incomprehensible policy-shift gain momentum?
After months of assuring vaccinated Americans that they no longer need to wear masks, the CDC has suddenly reversed itself and taken the country back to early 2020: everyone must wear a mask! This time, however, there are signs of rebellion particularly among Republican governors. As the CDC has no legal authority to tell Americans what to do, many in positions of authority - for example Texas and Florida governors - have said they will ignore Fauci and his cohorts. Also today: Biden expected to demand all Federal workers take the jab. Will they stand for it?
From the Department of Veteran Affairs to California and New York state workers to beyond, vaccine passports are creeping into US society. It is an apartheid system where only those who choose to take a particular medical treatment are afforded Constitutional rights and protections. The excuse of virus variants is what is being given for this, but nationwide there is no real uptick in Covid deaths. This is about politics and control, not medicine.
Fauci made the rounds on CNN and elsewhere over the weekend, addressing the increasing problem of vaccinated people testing positive for Covid. He said that the CDC is considering new mask guidelines...for the vaccinated! "Even if you are vaccinated, you should wear a mask," he said. Isn't that why millions of Americans took the shot in the first place? Because they were promised they could ditch the mask? Also today: why is the CDC ditching the PCR test for Covid-19 after a year and a half? What's going on? The "experts" don't seem to have a clue.
Inflation & shortages are created by Federal Reserve counterfeiting and government interventions in the economy. Every other excuse is just that, an excuse that is meant to distract you from the sources of these ills.
A group of maskless Texas Democrat state reps flying up to DC in attempt to derail an election security vote back home have become a prime exhibit of the hypocrisy of the elites: "masks for thee, but not for me!" It turns out, one of the maskless Reps wants forced universal masking! Also today, Biden deals in disinfo? Will he be cancelled?
Everyone's talking about yesterday's exchange between Dr. Fauci and Sen. Paul over NIH funding of gain-of-function research in China. Fauci was furious at the suggestion that he lied...but it seems Senator Paul has the receipts. Also today: women's soccer fail, police-defunding mayors spend a fortune for their own security, and more...
January 6 protester Paul Hodgkins commited no acts of violence, nor did he damage or destroy any property when he entered the US Capitol Building on Jan 6th. He walked into the Senate Chamber and took a selfie. He walked out after 11 minutes. He now faces eight months in prison and a lifetime as a convicted felon. Meanwhile, violent protesters from last summer's BLM and Antifa riots were not even charged with crimes. That is called political justice and it has no place in a free society. Also today: Strange Covid outbreaks, why are Soros and Gates buying a Covid testing company, and more...
In a stunning admission, a White House Spokesperson said last week that the US Administration is instructing social media companies which posts must be taken down. Is the First Amendment fully dead? Plus today: The 'woke' Olympics, Covid suicides, and why are we shipping millions of jabs overseas?
It has been 50 years since President Nixon proclaimed that "We are all Keynesians now." The results of allowing government (via its central bank - The Federal Reserve) to create dollars out-of-thin-air have now been produced. Decade after decade we experience relentless inflation, coupled with an expansion in the size and scope of government, the likes of which humanity has never seen before. The Keynesian dream is coming to an end.
According to press reports, US special envoy for the Middle East has announced to Iraqi officials that the US would be initiating a slow but steady withdrawal of its military forces from that country. What does it mean for Syria etc? Also today: Israel shows natural immunity after infection extremely robust, record drug overdoses in US last year (surprise!), and France says "non!" to vaccine apartheid.
President Biden once again dredged up his "not since the Civil War" hyperbole, this time to describe efforts in Texas and elsewhere to require people to show IDs before casting a vote. Civil War? Really? Also today, Biden allies plan to "fact check" private text messages? And...why is the Post Office spying on you?
In a CNN interview over the weekend, Fauci told the host that he's very much in favor of vaccine mandates and that any vaccine hesitancy is "horrifying" considering how safe and effective the shots are. The White House has warned that those questioning the shots are "dangerous" and "extremist," motivated by (conservative) politics. But who is actually the most resistant? CDC numbers might surprise you. Finally, the Capitol Hill Police are launching military surveillance drones in Washington, DC...what could go wrong?
Over the weekend the FBI Tweeted that Americans should observe their own family members for possible "extremism" and report them to the FBI if they find any. Haven't we seen this movie before in East Germany? Also - Washington is spending millions to create a new database of the "insurrectionists" from January 6th. Is this justice, or political persecution? These stories and more in today's Liberty Report...
Wealth inequality is a normal and natural condition of civilization. Human beings are not homogenous and unconscious robots, where everything is exactly the same for everyone. However, when wealth inequality is artificially inflated through the political process, trouble is introduced. When a small percentage become extremely rich at the expense of others (rather than at the service of others) bad feelings tend to form. Politics must be removed from the economy in order to remedy the situation.
After the shocking revelation that the US National Security Agency had intercepted Fox News host Tucker Carlson's emails and then leaked them to media in an effort to smear him, the question all Americans should be asking is: how did we get to this banana republic state? Will there be any accounting for this lawlessness? Also today: Iraqi militias keep firing on US bases in Iraq. So why not leave?

White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said at the daily press conference yesterday that President Biden's strategy to get everyone a Covid shot - whether they want it or not - is to start going "door-to-door" to those not yet jabbed. So...they have a list? Also today: bomb-maker Raytheon goes "woke." Capitol Hill Cops set up shop in California. Will CDC soon recommend a nation-wide re-count of Covid deaths?
US troops abandoned Bagram Air Base - a symbol of the US occupation of Afghanistan - in the dead of night. Reportedly the Afghan commander did not know until morning that he was in charge. Good move? Neocons not happy. Also today - soldiers unhappy about mandatory jab and...were US sailors forced to participate in "Pride" hike?
The bedrock of every civilization is private property. Likewise, every totalitarian ideology has the goal of attacking private property. Some are even so bold as to claim that the goal is to abolish it! Of course, logic dictates that such an idea is a recipe for disaster, and there's a whole history of human suffering and death to provide lessons that disaster is the only possible outcome. Private property is inviolable, inalienable and absolute.
According to a new poll, most Americans do not want schools to teach their children that America is an inherently racist country. Also today, election lawsuit in New York City, US teachers' union to demand forced vaccination, and the first major mask study is not good news for maskers.
The media has joined the "public health experts" in hyping the danger of the "Delta variant" of the coronavirus. Fauci warns that it is the most dangerous yet. Yet data from the UK strongly suggest that, like all viruses, it becomes weaker with each mutation. So who's telling the truth and who is pushing a narrative? Also today: Capitol Hill Police hold open door for 69 year "insurrectionist" on Jan 6th, but she is arrested yesterday for entering the building. And...what does New York City's botched mayoral election tell us about elections?
Over the weekend President Biden ordered US airstrikes on Syrian and Iraqi territory. The Administration claims that bombing countries 6,000 miles away who could not pose a threat to the US if they wanted was a "defensive" move. One problem: US troops are illegally occupying Syria and the bombing was unequivocally condemned by the Iraqi government. So..."defense"...or aggression? Also today, new polls and studies on Covid and US trust in the media. Don't miss today's Liberty Report.
Blustering Boris Johnson almost provoked a major war over an infantile desire to continue poking and prodding Russia in its own backyard. This time the war was averted, but what about next time? Will the adults ever be in charge?
First government recklessly "locks down" businesses, forcing thousands to close, and ruining countless economic lives. Then government passes out money that it does not have. In essence, government pays people not to work. With record job openings, employers are struggling to find people willing to work! And now government wants to spend another $1 Trillion (that it does not have) in order to create jobs! This is the upside-down world created by hyper-interventionist government and The Federal Reserve.
Here we go again! Talk of the so-called "debt ceiling" is back. Of course, shrinking the size and scope of government is not on the table. It never is. The federal government is $28 trillion in the red as it is. Why stop now? Well, logic, mathematics, economic laws, and all of recorded history indicate that the wrong road is being taken.
While not long ago President Biden claimed the unarmed crowd that entered the US Capitol building was the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War, yesterday he told gun owners they'd need F-15s and nuclear weapons if they wanted to overthrow the government. So...what gives? Also today: CDC says Covid deaths now "preventable" and cases of post-vaccine heart inflammation skyrocket.
Apparently the "rules-based order" that the Biden Administration touts does not apply to the United States, as the Justice Department announced yesterday it was seizing the websites of dozens of foreign news outlets, including the Iranian government-funded PressTV. Is taking down foreign news sites a good look for the US? This story and more news in today's Liberty Report...
Last week the US House voted to repeal the 2002 authorization to attack Iraq. After nineteen years and perhaps a million dead Iraqis, nothing was achieved by the war but death and destruction. Has Washington learned its lesson? Also today, WHO says no jab for kids! And Fauci's corrupt partner is shown the door.
President Biden has announced new sanctions are pending on Russia over the alleged poisoning of Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny last year. This move comes less than a week after what has been billed as a successful Biden/Putin meeting. Also today - "insurrectionists" to the gulag while rioters and looters are set free. Mayor Lightfoot declares "racism" a health crisis and passes out $10 million in Covid funds to fight it. And more...
How can a government, that's $28 trillion in debt, spend trillions of dollars that it does not have? Well, one major way is the Federal Reserve creates money-out-of-thin-air and then 'loans' it to the government by buying the government's bonds. Naturally, when the Fed counterfeits new dollars to do this, the value of the dollars (that Americans work so hard for) drops. Prices also rise, and the standard of living of Americans falls. Does this sound like a good deal to you?
Most of the media and politicians of all stripes are apoplectic that President Biden sat down with his Russian counterpart without wrestling him to the ground or pounding him. The reaction by US elites - from Trump to CNN - to the largely successful summit tells us everything that's wrong with US foreign policy. Also today: Biden does say the stupidest thing ever at the summit.
Yesterday Fox News' Tucker Carlson reported on an explosive investigative article appearing in the conservative news website "Revolver News" regarding the high number of "unindicted co-conspirators" who were deeply involved in the Capitol breach and who acted alongside others who face decades in prison but were not themselves charged. Is this yet another case of the FBI infiltrating and even leading a "terror plot" that they later "foil"? Also, conveniently, the White House yesterday released a strategy to combat "domestic terrorism."
Joe Biden will meet his Russian counterpart for the first time as president. Will this meeting herald a new stability in US/Russia relations, or will it devolve into US lectures and Russian counter-lectures? Can Joe hold his own with Putin? Also today: Andy Slavin is a very bad and evil person. And parents are fighting back against "woke" school districts.
April 19 was the 28th anniversary of one of the most shameful episodes in modern American history: the massacre of 76 innocent men, women, and children by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) in a military-style assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.
A US judge has ruled against 117 workers at Houston Methodist Hospital who sued their employer over a vaccine mandate. Even though the current status of the "vaccines" is experimental (not yet fully FDA approved), the judge nevertheless called the workers' concerns over safety absurd. What's next? Also today, new poll shows Democrats overwhelmingly favor forcing shots on the public. And the CDC announces "emergency meeting" after hundreds of cases of heart inflammation are reported among young people after Covid shot.

Feeding fairy tales to American citizens is the modus operandi of Washington D.C. The latest on the economic front is a real doozy. When the (unconstitutional) Fed counterfeits dollars, it ultimately results in a rise in prices for goods and services. Americans suffer a lower standard of living by being forced to buy less with the dollars that they worked for. Does this immoral process sound like it's 'good for society' to you?
A 100 day review of US policy toward China has determined - surprise! - that not only is China the top threat, but that the Pentagon needs to stop jawboning the threat and start acting on it...whatever that means. The policy review was conducted by a former employee of the Center for a New American Security...which is funded by weapons manufacturers and foreign governments including Taiwan! Also today: Has Fauci jumped the shark with his 'I am Science!' pronouncement?
Rep. Thomas Massie has called for the entire CDC top leadership to be fired over its "constant stream of lies" during the past year of coronavirus. That's a great idea. But after that, we need to take a hard look at why we have a CDC at all. Do we need a highly-politicized, centralized entity making pronouncements they pretend are laws binding us to do as they say? Also today: good news on how to stop vaccine passports; free weed in Washington - but there's a catch; and the plexiglass profiteering scam.
A new study on Covid lockdowns in Germany shows that destroying the freedom and livelihood of civilians to fight a virus by locking the country down was pointless. Any "credit" claimed for the lockdowns was actually due to the cases already falling before implemented. Will justice be served? Also today, TX Gov. Abbott partly redeems himself by signing new vaccine passport prohibition.
From, most recently, the Wall Street Journal to the Daily Mail to Fauci's own newly-revealed emails, the once-"conspiratorial" theory that the Covid virus may have leaked from a lab has now gone fully mainstream. What might it mean...and why is the Pentagon so deeply involved? Also today: fake news on kids in the ER. California county cuts Covid death count by a whopping 25 percent. And more...
Ron Paul's two co-hosts, Daniel McAdams & Chris Rossini, answer viewer questions. Thank you for all of the submissions!
Mises Institute president and former Rep. Ron Paul chief-of-staff Jeff Deist joins today's Liberty Report to discuss the prospects for libertarianism and a non-violent approach to seemingly intractable disputes over land, control, and government coercion. Is the post-Covid US ripe or barren for the ideas of liberty to take hold?
The use of the woke agenda as an excuse to further politicize the allocation of capital and continue to expand the Fed’s easy money, low interest rate policy will hasten and deepen the next economic crisis.
It looks like Fauci may have found his golden parachute. As criticism mounts over his incessant flip-flopping and his ties to gain-of-function research in a Chinese lab, Fauci has signed a big book deal. Is this to be his swan song? Also today, another case against a January 6th "insurrectionist" falls apart...
This has not been a very good week for President Biden's chief Covid advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci. After ridiculing the theory for months that the virus may have escaped from a Chinese lab, Fauci admitted it was possible. After adamantly denying funding "gain-of-function" experiments in China, he was forced to admit that he funded them indirectly, through a cut-out. As his possible culpability looms large, is Fauci about to exit the stage? Also today, a new study confirms antibodies generated by a Covid infection may last a lifetime.
It's rather ironic that politicians who work for a government that is in the red $28 Trillion are criticizing bankers for charging "overdraft fees." Shouldn't politicians be on the side of enforcing voluntary contracts, rather than advocating breaking them? America's broken monetary system is a major problem, but the problem lies in government granting monopoly powers to the banking industry. Shouldn't the major concern be the abolishment of those monopoly powers?
Despite overwhelming evidence that the vast majority of children do not become seriously ill or pass on the virus, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky testified before Congress yesterday that they must continue to wear their masks! Even as everyone else is taking masks off. Is this science...or a power trip? Or child abuse?
Why are the people who trespassed in the US Capitol Building on January 6th being detained for months in solitary confinement? Why have they been denied bail for mostly minor crimes? Why are they being held in particularly inhuman conditions despite for the vast majority no previous criminal charges? Is this justice...or political revenge? Also today: Press hypocrisy on Wuhan lab "conspiracy theory." And...some justice for Newsom's victims.
Just days after a formerly famous singer sent a Tweet encouraging more violence on Sen. Rand Paul, a package with a suspicious substance and a death threat was delivered to the Senator's house. Twitter has not banned or even restricted the violent Tweet...or others that followed it. Also today AOC is in therapy - you'll never guess why. BLM flags to hang at US Embassies overseas. Hypocrisy over Belarus forcing down plane over its airspace.
Though Greg Abbott deserves much criticism for shutting Texas down, his re-opening decree effectively ended Covid tyranny across the country. We are thankful for that. Now we must resolve to never let this happen again.
A new study has suggested that man's best friend is 90 percent accurate in sniffing out people infected with the coronavirus. The New York Times reported last year that the PCR test widely used currently may be reporting 90 percent false positives! So why aren't dogs being used? Is it because they cannot be manipulated like the tests can be? Also today, Fauci does another flip-flop - this time on the origin of the virus. And more from the hypocrite hall of shame...
The Fed, politicians and their crony corporate friends persistently manipulate the dollar and U.S. economy to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else. Prices are meant to relay economic truth to everyone. Instead, because of Fed and government interventions, prices relay lies. Ultimately, economic distortions become so intense that the entire economic house of cards comes tumbling down.
The Pentagon is denying reports in The Intercept from earlier this week that it is contracting with outside firms to monitor the social media postings of US soldiers to weed out "extremism" in the ranks. Is "white nationalism" really a problem in the military, or is this an attempt to purge those not adhering to the emerging cultural Marxism and "woke-ism" that is plaguing the country? Also today: Uniformed US soldiers giving the covid jab at bars? Mayor Lori "Racist" Lightfoot. And Ted Cruz goes "Russiagate" conspiracy theorist...
Partisan calls for a 9/11-type commission to look into what Democrats still claim was an "insurrection" on January 6th are being resisted by Republicans in Congress. Is it partisan theater? Would any investigation actually get to the bottom of the farce? Also today: Fauci admits Rand was right - his mask-wearing was theater. TX Gov Abbott says "no masks!" And...another insurrection on the House Floor???
As the death toll mounts in the latest Israel/Palestine flare-up, Americans find themselves taking sides on whether Israel is really "defending" itself or whether the Palestinian "militants" are again up to their old tricks. Today we present another view; one that could actually help diminish the violence. Also today: Whitmer getting her due? Cultural Marxism in NoVa. What's up with OSHA covid vax guidelines. And some fun with Thomas Massie's Tweets...
The CDC's surprise Friday announcement that vaccinated people no longer need masks indoors or outdoors caught the Covid cultists off-guard. Suddenly major US grocery chains like Costco and Trader Joes announced "no masks" for vaccinated customers - and a policy of "don't ask, don't tell." Has the pandemic panic run its course? Where to from here?
The effects of unprecedented government spending (of money it does not have) and unprecedented Federal Reserve counterfeiting of U.S. dollars are showing up in the economy with rapidly rising prices. You're expected to focus only on the symptoms, and then blame everything except The Fed. The Ron Paul Liberty Report focuses on the root of the problem, along with the solution.
The US continues to pursue force across the globe, with ever-increasing military budgets, sanctions, and threats, while China continues to make deals across the globe, arriving with bags of money to make investments. Which one is more sustainable? Also today, Gov. DeWine: 'Want some money?' And both NY Times and Dr. Gupta commit covid heresy...
Reports of a ransomware hack of the Colonial Pipeline had hardly ended when the usual MSM suspects and Democrat Party shills began blaming the hack on Russia. As with each of these prior claims, no evidence has been presented. But it fits the narrative too well to waste time on investigation! Also today, the New York Times busts the CDC over outdoor transmission claims. And...Rand versus Fauci.

As more of the Covid narrative unravels, the CDC has announced that the shots are not approved for young children. Meanwhile the Association of American Surgeons and Physicians has issued an urgent letter to US universities urging them to abandon any "vaccine passport" scheme. Also today: when does former CDC Director Scott Gottlieb think indoor mask mandates should be ended? You might be surprised...
Children are statistically unlikely to be at risk of either spreading Covid or becoming very sick from it.
During his weekly media blitz over the weekend, Fauci claimed that Americans should be ready for more mask mandates into the indefinite future. He claims the masks eliminated the flu during the Covid outbreak. Did they? Also today, Dallas boxing match draws 70,000+ as Texas infections continue to drop off the map.
Cause and Effect ... Supply & Demand ... These can never be abolished by central planners. Economic Laws and The Market always prevail over bureaucrats. To believe that politicians can endlessly hand out money that they do not have, and that The Fed can counterfeit trillions of dollars without serious economic repercussions, is to believe in the impossible. Reality always puts an end to fantasy.
The Facebook oversight board has backed the social media website's decision to ban former President Donald Trump from using its product. The claim is that Trump violated the company's terms of service. Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley has written on this decision and we take a look at his thoughts and add some of our own. Also today: the Taliban strikes back!
As covid shot manufacturer Pfizer boasts record-breaking profits in the first quarter of 2021, it is advancing a marketing scheme to expand the shot to more of the population and to guarantee exploding revenue well into the future. Is this an example of capitalism's failures? Also today, California education kooks take aim at math's "inequalities."
CNN and other outlets reported yesterday that the Biden Administration is looking to get around laws restricting domestic spying on Americans by "partnering" with "private" entities and organizations to outsource the spying. The justification is the claimed rise in "domestic terrorism," as evidenced by what Biden has called "the greatest threat to our democracy since the Civil War," AKA the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Afghanistan was a disaster for the United States. Only the corrupt benefitted from this 20 year highway robbery.
The CDC has issued new guidelines for measuring "breakthrough" Covid cases (a vaccinated person contracting the virus), recommending that the PCR test cycles be dialed down to below 28 to avoid false positives. False positives could undermine support for the vaccine. This move makes sense...but what about an entire year of testing the general population with a cycle of 40 or above? Are some false positives more equal than others?
Libertarian artist, educator, and philosopher Pho Chan joins today's Liberty Report to explain how the statists can best be challenged with music and humor. How to connect with a younger generation now seemingly attracted to socialism and authoritarianism? Chan has a few ideas...
The CDC announced this week that people who have been fully vaccinated can now go outside without masks on. Meanwhile in many of the open states people have been outside all along without masks. The Texas Rangers baseball team played its opener to a full station of mostly unmasked people. Meanwhile the mainstream media continues to obfuscate and propagandize over the "embarrassing" successes of "free" states like Texas and Florida, still quoting "experts" who have been wrong over and over.
From media to government to military to the "non-profit" sector, corruption seems to be tearing the United States apart. The media lies, the "watchers" are not being watched, billions of dollars are being transferred to the wealthy elites. Is the system falling apart at the seams?
After warning repeatedly of new waves and dark days, President Biden's chief Covid advisor Dr. Fauci has again flip-flopped. No longer is it "science" to wear masks outside, he says, after urging outdoor mask-wearing just months ago. Why Fauci's change of heart?
Dr. Paul's two co-hosts, Daniel McAdams & Chris Rossini answer viewer questions on today's Ron Paul Liberty Report!
Yesterday the Senate Foreign Relations approved a massive $300 million per year in military aid to Ukraine, even as the conflict in eastern Ukraine looks set to blow apart. The Biden Administration is packed with anti-Russia fanatical hawks. This week an apparent US-backed coup attempt on Russia's ally Belarus was broken up. Does Washington believe Russia will bend to its will? What's the next step? Former CIA officer Phil Giraldi joins today's Liberty Report with his analysis.
Things are moving fast. Great reset. Build back better. Cancel culture. Media power. Big tech. How can we search for truth in what appears to be a time of deception? RPI Board Member, filmmaker, and philanthropist Gary Heavin joins today's program.
Yesterday's final report by Washington, DC's chief medical examiner that Capitol Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick did not die from being beaten with a fire extinguisher - a claim echoed throughout the mainstream media - but rather died from "natural causes" the day after the January 6th melee at the Capitol has destroyed the MSM narrative that an armed and deadly insurrection had taken place. Will the media apologize for lying repeatedly for months? Will they be held to account for their lies? What is truth?
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was fond of accusing former President Trump of inciting insurrection with his speech on January 6th. However over the weekend Waters flew to Minneapolis and encouraged already violent street protesters to continue and even become "more confrontational" if a jury does not hand down a murder charge against police officer Derek Chauvin who is accused of causing the death of George Floyd last May. Is this incitement to violence and possibly insurrection?
Government is always limited to how much it can tax the people directly. People will ultimately rebel against high taxes. So, as a workaround, a monopoly was granted to The Federal Reserve. If the government wants money, The Fed can just print it. The people will still pay for this, of course, but not directly. They'll pay when they see rising prices in the marketplace. The government can just blame something else as the cause. Inflation is the worst tax of them all.
Just two days after speaking with Russian President Putin by phone, and suggesting a summit, President Biden has hit Russia with another round of sanctions - including an attack on the Russian currency. The reasons given for this "national emergency" include the seven year old return of Crimea to Russian control and the still-unproven allegations of Russian election meddling, hacking, and placing bounties on US soldiers' heads in Afghanistan.
Orange County officials have announced that they are launching a "vaccine passport" system to make people feel "safe." While Biden has claimed no interest in a federal system, will increasing pressure, primarily from "blue" states, push the Administration to change its tune? Which state or county is next to demand us to "show your papers!"?

The Biden Administration is becoming even more bellicose toward Russia and China over "crises" in Taiwan and Ukraine. Meanwhile US-backed Israel is attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. During the Cold War the hawks always pushed for the ability to fight a two-front war. Can a US military already bogged down for 20 years fight a THREE front war? Will someone in Washington display some common sense?
Global tax and fiat currency systems will only benefit the world’s political and financial elites. In contrast, regular people across the world benefit from limited government, free markets, sound money, and reduced or eliminated taxes.
The CDC has quietly added a link on its website to a new study showing that surface transmission of the virus is extremely rare. Even if a person touches a "contaminated" surface the chance of getting infected is only one in ten thousand! So much for the billions of dollars shelled out over the past year on disinfectants and sanitizers. Somebody got rich! Also today; More Fauci word salad and United Airlines dangerous new "wokeism."
"Vaccine Passports"? ... "War on Cash,"? ... The common thread is that these authoritarian ideas are war on our freedom. Total surveillance has been sought by authoritarians for thousands of years; always with the goal of trying to control how people move, or how they spend their money. The spread of the ideas of Liberty are necessary in order to save us from encroaching tyranny.
Just as many US states are seeing Covid numbers plummet, Klaus "trans-humanist" Schwab's World Economic Forum is pushing a new "smart mask" that not only tells you when to take a breath of fresh air: it also warns you to put it on if you've forgotten it. All tracked through your mobile phone. It is one more step toward China's Orwellian "social credit" system (in fact, the mask itself was developed by a Chinese firm!). And the billionaire elites want to shove it down our throats.
A month after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced an end to all coronavirus restrictions, covid numbers continue to crash in the state. While Fauci was quick to attack Abbott's move to open Texas, when asked this week why the doom he predicted did not come about he had no answer. Also today: Baseball is back in Texas and vaccine passports are ruled out.
Investigative journalist Julie Kelly has gone where few mainstream journalists have dared to go: deep into the US government cases against the January 6th "insurrectionists." What she found is shocking. Is the government pursuing actual justice...or political 'justice'?
In a shock interview over the weekend, President Biden's son, Hunter, revealed that the laptop the media assured us was "Russian disinformation" could "absolutely" be his. He also revealed weeks-long benders on crack and vodka with no sleep...and that he doesn't remember taking his laptop to be repaired. Clearly the Biden Administration is goading Ukraine to provoke a war with Russia. How are these related?
How successful would the political classes be in expanding their powers if they had to deal with a population of individuals that were unafraid and who guarded their liberty with their lives? Liberty requires eternal vigilance. Be wary of the fear peddlers. The emotion of fear is the tool of tyranny.
Even the establishment experts seem to be in total disagreement with each other - and often with themselves - over the experimental Covid "vaccine." Does it prevent the illness? Lessen the illness? Provide lasting immunity? Temporary immunity? Is it safe for all? So many questions, but so few reliable answers.
The Biden Administration seems intent on breaking the agreement signed under the Trump Administration for US troops to finally leave Afghanistan, the longest and perhaps most pointless war in US history. Rather than follow through with the withdrawal, the White House is attempting to negotiate with the Taliban for six more months. How many more Americans (and Afghanis) will have to die for this failed policy? Also today, Biden ratchets up war tensions in Ukraine, shipping more than 300 tons of new weapons. War drums getting louder.
Biden Administration CDC Director Rochelle Walensky appeared to break down into tears yesterday, pleading with Americans to avoid the urge to begin living normally again as the virus continues to fade. She warns of "impending doom" if Americans begin going back to "normal." But what about Texas and Florida? What about numbers? Science? Also today, Tyranny in the UK.
If Congress is serious about protecting Americans from violence, it would repeal all federal gun control laws. Gun control, like all attempts by government to control our lives, makes us less safe, and less free.
Mainstream media is reporting that the Biden Administration is seriously looking into establishing some kind of Federal vaccine passport system, where Americans who cannot (or will not) prove to the government they have been jabbed with the experimental vaccine will be legally treated as second-class citizens. The system will quickly morph into a copy of China's "social credit" system, where undesirable behaviors are severely punished. With Covid dying out across the country as herd immunity is reached, "vaccine passports" seems more about more government control than public health.
Socialism & Fascism are two sides of the same totalitarian coin, with the latter ideology being an offshoot of the former. While Socialism preaches the State being the sole owner of the means of production, Fascism preaches a partnership of State (Power) and Corporations (Money). Socialism leads to rapid ruin, while Fascism leads to a longer and drawn out ruin. The destination is the same regardless of the speed in getting there. Freedom and free markets are the only escape from this totalitarian vice.
Over the past year the Covid testing industry has blasted into the stratosphere to become a $100 billion per year industry. Powerful and influential forces are making a fortune from tests that have been proven largely inaccurate and Americans are being forced to foot the bill. If you subsidize something you get more of it. Also today, Covid corruption rocks Germany's ruling party and a new WHO-funded study is raising eyebrows.
Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt show yesterday, Fauci was asked whether, given that lockdown states did no better than non-lockdown states in preventing Covid deaths, the lockdowns were a mistake in retrospect. Fauci answered, "I don't think so." New data is emerging suggesting the lockdowns may have led to more deaths than they saved. What's Fauci's game? Also today, Germany's Merkel backs down from lockdown and Sweden does best on excess mortality.
Suddenly we are facing a "crisis" at the border, with tens of thousands pouring in illegally. Democrats are starting to see the crisis in humanitarian terms and Republicans are seeing the crisis in political terms. Both are partly right, but both are missing the point. Also today, new PEW study shows shocking rate of depression and anxiety due to Covid lockdowns.
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) had a heated exchange with CDC's Fauci in the Senate late last week, where the Senator pushed the bureaucrat to provide a single study showing that the possibility of re-infection among those who had Covid or had been vaccinated justifies current orders to continue wearing masks. What about the variants? Also today...even Fauci is admitting the six foot rule is not "science." Finally, protests in Europe.
Democracy is useful for the peaceful transfer of power. However, in an of itself, Democracy does not equal "Freedom." In fact, neither the Declaration of Independence, nor The U.S. Constitution mention the word "Democracy" anywhere. Is it a coincidence that the U.S. Constitution is almost completely ignored at the same time that America is considered a "Democracy"?
Fox News Host Tucker Carlson ignited a firestorm last week when he questioned the use of pregnant women as fighter pilots. Though his comments focused on readiness, he was immediately slammed - and even threatened - by official Pentagon social media accounts for "denigrating" women in the military. Are "woke" senior military officers more interested in waging war against non-"woke" Americans, or preparing to defend this country?
A conveniently timed new "Intelligence Community Assessment" - declassified yesterday, claims that the Russian president directed his spies and proxies to throw the US election to Trump. All the claims and evidence of Biden family corruption were actually just Kremlin spy tricks. Also today, are you ready for your vaccine passport?
Two months after reporting on former President Donald Trump "pressuring" Georgia election officials to find fraud in the process - long after that narrative had been accepted as fact - the Washington Post yesterday announced that the quotes were made up. Who made them up and why? Shouldn't the Post have investigated thoroughly? Is there no pushback when the mainstream media continues to print biased falsehoods? Also today, one school district in Texas said a strong "NO!" to shutting down and online instruction only. And they thrived!
A 65 year old Galveston woman found herself tackled, handcuffed, arrested, and with a broken foot after she refused to leave a local Bank of America branch without her money. The bank demanded she put on a mask, she refused, so they called in the police. Property rights? Also today, first anniversary of the Covid lockdowns. Success or tragic failure?
As Americans watch their bills relentlessly rise, they're repeatedly told by official sources that there is no inflation, or 'not enough' inflation. According to the Fed, prices aren't rising fast enough! They've yet to hit their "inflation target." So which is it? Are your own eyes lying to you? Or are the bureaucrats refusing to come clean?
From Syria to Iran to Afghanistan to Russia, President Biden's early promises to focus on diplomacy rather than the alleged brute force of the Trump Administration has not been followed up with action. In fact, US foreign policy is as militaristic as ever.

In a blistering recent Tweet, US Rep. Thomas Massie blasted the inclusion of one billion dollars in the "stimulus" bill to propagandize the American people in favor of various coronavirus vaccines. Do we really need the government taking our money to propagandize us into accepting government policy? Also today, Texas (mostly) re-opens (with some depressing exceptions) and a new peer-reviewed study sheds more light on the "stay home" policies previously used to fight the virus.
Stanford University Medical School professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is featured in Newsweek Magazine condemning the lockdowns across the United States to fight the virus, calling them the biggest mistake ever made by public health authorities. A new study released by none other than the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ironically appears to bolster Dr. Bhattacharya's claim. Is the truth starting to seep out from the Berlin Wall of lies?
Unless the government changes course, America will experience a crisis greater than the Great Depression.
Congress is expected to vote on the final passage of the massive $1.9 trillion "Covid" bailout package that many Republicans are claiming is a bailout for blue states who cratered their economies with Covid lockdowns. Is there truth to this claim, or is there enough pork for all?
The U.S. Constitution, the "Supreme Law of The Land," was designed to chain down the U.S. federal government. Considering the U.S. federal government is the biggest government to ever exist on Earth, it's obvious that the Constitution has failed. Those in power found a loophole. What if "private" corporations, that are intimately tied to government, do the things that government itself is legally forbidden from doing? This loophole has brought us the circumstances that we deal with today.
The FBI and Homeland Security are issuing warnings that a second "siege" of the US Capitol may be staged today, citing "chatter" among extremist groups. Does all of this sound like the scare propaganda from the dark days of the "War on Terror"? Endless warnings of "chatter" to justify further restrictions on our liberty like the so-called PATRIOT Act? Are they blowing propaganda smoke or should we be afraid?
Yesterday's announcement by Texas Governor Greg Abbott that effective March 10th the statewide mask mandate and partial lockdown would be lifted was a huge blow to the lockdowners. There is a feeling of the fall of the Berlin Wall of virus tyranny. But many are left questioning: why the authoritarian over-reach in the first place? Will Abbott be punished politically?
The Biden Administration's promise to embrace diplomacy over Trump's perceived unilateralism took a blow last week with the US attack on Syria. That is not the only hot spot where diplomacy as we understand it seems to have been abandoned. Today we have a look at the three hot spots. And finally today...Dr. Seuss cancelled???
Last Thursday President Biden continued what has sadly become a Washington tradition: bombing Syria.
ISIS is back, we are told. Suddenly after a prolonged silence the ISIS threat is now being used to justify expanding the US presence in the Middle East. Last Thursday, however, President Biden ordered an airstrike on one of the Iraqi militias formed in 2014 to fight against ISIS. So...are we helping or hurting ISIS? Does anyone know?
We live in unprecedented times of governmental, bureaucratic and authoritarian overreach. It is no surprise that The Federal Reserve, with its extreme counterfeiting of money and credit has also extended itself way beyond what anyone could have imagined. The Fed has sown the wind, and will reap a whirlwind of inflation. Central planning always fails. This time will be no different.
Astonishingly, the UK public health authority has announced that this flu season has not seen a single case of influenza. The US and elsewhere are showing similar numbers. Has the flu disappeared? If so, why? The "experts" are claiming that hand-washing, masks, and social distancing have defeated the flu virus. So why didn't those measures work against the Covid virus? Also today, social media morphs into NATO cheerleaders...
While the mainstream media concentrates on different milestones of Covid deaths, thousands and thousands of others die and suffer needlessly due to the unprecedented practice of locking societies down. Today's Liberty Report takes a look at these victims and asks why and was it necessary.
Congressional leaders will convene a joint session to look into the events surrounding the January 6th Capitol melee. Will they ask the questions that really need to be answered, or will both sides continue political grandstanding? Also today, US Representatives try to cancel the First Amendment, demanding the end of Fox and other conservative media. Fauci backs off. DeSantis is the rising political star - why?
Mainstream media is reporting the "grim milestone" of 500,000 Covid deaths. Is the number accurate? Are such headlines meant to keep the fear turned up to 10, or to inform the audience? A Wall Street Journal op-ed over the weekend predicts "herd immunity" soon. Is it wrong? Fauci says maybe mask up till 2022. Is he wrong?
Americans have clearly lost their way. The same failed ideas are being played out in all the various aspects of our lives. Fortunately, the way back is not complex, but actually very easy. Americans must (once again) discard the disastrous belief in top-down government central planning and one-size-fits-all policies. They produce nothing but suffering. We must rediscover the virtues of individual liberty and voluntary interactions with one another.
The Israeli government is serious about rolling out its "Green Badge" Covid passport as a part of its plan to end months-old Covid lockdowns. If you cannot prove you've had a Covid jab or that you have already recovered from the virus, you essentially cannot participate in any form of public life. Good idea? Is this the future for the rest of the world? Also today: Canada's worsening Covid Crackdown, Bill Gates attacks skeptics, Cuomo's feeling the hot water.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling for a "9/11-like commission" to look into the events around the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. GOP House Members have sent her a list of pertinent questions, including about her role in ensuring or undermining Capitol security on that day. Will this commission actually look to uncover truth, or like most commissions will it strive to sweep truth under the rug? Or will the commission just be an extended "trial" of Trump and his supporters after the failure of the two impeachment trials?
Gazillionaire globalist Bill Gates has a new book out on how to tackle what he sees as the problem of climate change. One of his guidelines to save the planet? Give up your meat and grab a "plant-based" burger instead. 'You can get used to the taste difference," he said in a recent interview. While such "big ideas" might normally come under some scrutiny in the media, it turns out that Gates has given something like a quarter of a billion dollars to dozens of media outlets. He also funds the "fact check" organizations who play their part getting independent voices silenced. How dangerous are billionaire authoritarians?
The Lincoln Project was founded by a group of "never-Trump" Republicans, including the former presidential campaign manager of John McCain. While the anti-Trump "resistance" types wrote big checks, the Lincoln Project founders banked big bucks for themselves. Some of the founders did even more repulsive things. Is this a singular scandal or is this just business as usual for the grifter class that exists alongside big-spending political campaigns? Also today: Newsom and Cuomo both in trouble; McConnell - what did he say?
The century-old big government obsession in America is getting old and weathered. Debts that are never-ending...Wars that are never-ending...One Federal Reserve economic bubble after another...Social-Cultural manias...All are coming to a head at some point. Big Government is always unsustainable, and Americans should once again embrace their roots of individual liberty.
According to the Miami Herald, the Biden Administration is considering imposing travel restrictions on some states, including Florida, to combat what it claims is the spread of "mutated" coronavirus. Is this science...or politics? Also today: Newsom recall effort passes milestone; Doctors concerned about blood disorder cropping up; Who wanted the lockdowns?
Proving that nothing really substantive changes in Washington, the Biden Administration announced this week that it would continue to seek the extradition of Julian Assange, who faces 17 counts of espionage in the US. Also today, the Biden Administration continues his predecessor's saber-rattling in the South China Sea. Tampa update with a twist. Social media...or government media?
This week marks the first 12 month period in two decades in which there have been no US combat deaths in Afghanistan. The Trump Administration signed an agreement for complete withdrawal by May if the Taliban ends attacks. Will Biden stick to the deal? Also today: Florida update and more...
Tomorrow begins the bizarre second impeachment of former president Donald Trump. The chief justice of the Supreme Court has declined to participate even though that is required by the Constitution. No witnesses. Is this just a political show trial? Also today: Tom Brady drives them crazy for not wearing a mask. So do celebrating Floridians. Iowa takes a step toward sanity.
Once government intervention into the lives of the citizens, it eventually turns into an addiction. In America, the addiction to government intervention began a century ago. Today, the government intervenes into just about every aspect of a citizen's life. The focus is always on the superficial and the immediate. Long-term consequences aren't even considered. Well, the long-term has arrived and the consequences are bad.
Top Biden Administration Covid advisor Tony Fauci is back to warn Americans that "now is not the time" to get together with friends to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday. He said the same about Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve. He warned of a "dark winter" if people didn't do as he told them. They did not, but meanwhile new Covid cases in the US continue to plummet. Also today: new CDC director says teachers do not need to be forced to take the vaccine for schools to open. Congress votes to strip Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments. And AOC feels the heat after questions arise about her dramatic "insurrection" story.
There are growing demands - especially among Democrats - to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from Congress over reports that she believes or endorses "conspiracy theories" such as the "Q" conspiracy theory and others. Should Members who endorse conspiracy theories be kicked out? What is a conspiracy theory and how many Members have endorsed such theories in the past? How many times have conspiracy theories been used to drag the US into wars?
The Senate trial of former president Donald Trump is a farce, dead on arrival, and a mockery of justice. The votes for conviction are not there, as we learned from last week's procedural vote on constitutionality. The idea of removing someone from office who is not in office makes no sense. The sole goal is to prevent Trump from running for office again. What if Trump and Trump's team just didn't show up for this show trial?
The idea that libertarianism creates terrorists is absurd. Libertarians support the non-aggression principle, so they reject using force to advance their political goals. They rely instead on peaceful persuasion.
According to CNN, the CDC is demanding that people wear two masks when on public transport. Failure to comply could result in prosecution according to the news report. Is there any science behind it? Dr. Fauci surprisingly provides the answer. Also today: lockdown protests grow in Europe, lockdowns and cancer treatment, and Governor DeSantis shows how it's done.
In just 9 days, President Biden has signed a record 40 executive orders, actions and directives. This is a far cry from the schoolbook instructions on "How a bill becomes a law." Is this what "our democracy" has come to mean? The stroke of a pen? Where's the U.S. Constitution?
Former US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has been sounding the alarm over new "domestic terrorism" legislation introduced by Adam Schiff (D-CA) and highly charged claims by former CIA director (a partisan Democrat) that "even libertarians" are potential "domestic terrorists." A police state is coming unless people like Brennan and Schiff are denounced by President Biden himself. Also, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) sounds the alarm: are National Guard troops in DC the next "forever war"?
President Biden's top coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has just announced that it's "just common sense" that people should wear two masks. Last March he said no one should be walking around with masks on. Then he said put a mask on. Meanwhile CNBC featured a segment advising that people wear THREE masks! Is all of this "the science"? No wonder that, according to a recent study, Americans are four times more depressed and anxious than they were in 2019.
Yesterday the House impeachment 2.0 team marched impeachment papers over to the Senate for trial. With even President Biden doubting a conviction of citizen Trump, is there a point where what increasingly appears to be a show trial backfires politically for the Democrats and for a president who is desperately trying to sell the slogan "unity" to a divided America? Is there any Constitutional provision for removing a president from office who has already been removed from office? Will this start a trend in retroactively impeaching past presidents? Or pro-actively impeaching presidential candidates?
Just days after President Biden's inauguration, "blue" states began announcing an end to lockdowns and other restrictions. Suddenly it's time to open up. Even NY Governor Cuomo said the economy must be re-started. Is it science? A miracle Covid cure? Politics? A huge coincidence?
The national debt racket is not a Trump or Biden thing. It's not a Republican or Democrat thing. They all perpetuate it. But all rackets come to an end, and it's important that as many people as possible understand what must come next, so that this "system" is never adopted again.
While the media continues to push the phony narrative that right wing domestic terrorists are going to descend on state capitals, yesterday saw the emergence of actual left wing rioters in the form of Antifa, which attacked in Portland and Seattle. Federal property was reportedly targeted. Will the press report this as "domestic terrorism" as they reported on the 1/6 Capitol melee? And, more interestingly, as the rioters screamed anti-Biden slogans: will the Biden Administration move against this violence from its left flank?
As 25,000 US National Guard troops from across the country are deployed in a Washington, DC, that looks like a ghost town, surely one of the strangest US presidential inaugurations in history will take place. With DC as literally a military-occupied zone, protecting an empty city for a virtual inauguration, is this all security theater? A warning? A taste of things to come?
Benito Mussolini said that "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." When surveying modern events, along with events over the last century, is this not the major problem that we face today?
With the mainstream media still obsessing about the January 6th “violent coup attempt” at the US Capitol Building, the incoming Biden Administration looks to be chock full of actual purveyors of violent coups.
Washington, DC has been turned into a war zone for this week's "virtual" presidential inauguration, with 20,000 National Guard troops and mass closures of bridges, roads, and the Metro. Is there a real threat of another "insurrection," or is there some over-hyping going on?
The choice that every individual must make, and the resulting civilization (of lack of civilization) that results from the choice, is always the same. It's either peace, voluntary cooperation and exchange -- or force, violence, politics, and war. Every epoch is marked by the choices that are made.
We're very pleased to have Jeff Deist, President of The Mises Institute Institute, join us to discuss ways of dealing with Big Tech censorship.
After the January 6th mob ruckus inside the US Capitol building, the US House, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi, rushed to put together articles of impeachment (again) for President Trump. Trump, they claim, led an insurrection on that day and must be held accountable. Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley recently wrote in The Hill of the dangers of lowering the bar for impeachment. Do the House Democrats have a point that Trump must be removed from office days before he is removed from office, or is Impeachment 2.0 as much of a farce as Impeachment 1.0?
The ongoing purges and restrictions of social media accounts by Big Tech are continuing, with Ron Paul's own main social media outlet having been restricted yesterday for a vague charge of "violation of community standards." In today's Liberty Report Ron Paul reflects on the dominance of social media and Big Tech in our daily discourse and how we can still promote peace, prosperity, and liberty.
No army – not even Big Tech partnered with Big Government - can stop an idea whose time has come. And Liberty is that idea. We must move forward with creativity and confidence!
Big Tech has taken radical action over the past few days to cancel and de-platform thousands of social media users, including President Trump himself. Free speech alternative social media site Parler has been blown off the Internet by Amazon. Free speech advocates, including the ACLU, are warning about the effect of such a purge. Is it possible that this over-reach, with its apparent political overtones, might actually benefit free speech advocates once all the smoke has cleared?
After four years of a Republican-dominated government sinking the U.S. financial situation further towards bankruptcy, it's now the Democrats' turn to step firmly on the spending and debt gas pedal. As the "stimulus," and "help" and "bailouts" continue to ratchet up, the standard of living for the American people will continue to ratchet down.
Was it "treason"? A "coup attempt"? What happened on Capitol Hill yesterday? There is plenty of speculation about out-of-control Trump supporters - and Federal prosecutors are champing at the bit to begin prosecuting. Were there violent infiltrators who led the charge? Were there any other strange factors that deserve attention? We take a look at some of the various reports and examine the question "cui bono?" - who benefits?
Soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has Tweeted out this morning "Buckle up!" after Democrats appear to have won both Georgia US Senate seats. Shellshocked Republicans now face losses in both Houses of Congress and at the White House. Also today, Assange denied bail by UK judge - even though he faces no UK charges. Finally, as Iran hawks watch the sands of the Trump Administration run out, will their endless provocations finally bring their long-desired war?
Stansberry Research journalist, Daniela Cambone, joins the Liberty Report to discuss crypto, gold, silver and other metals. With the Fed feverishly counterfeiting dollars, are we headed for a big year for these assets?
News that UK Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the US to face espionage charges has shocked supporters and opponents alike. Keeping Assange out of the clutches of the notorious Eastern District of Virginia Federal Court may well have saved his life. However, the judge did not oppose the US position that Assange committed the crimes he is accused of committing. Baraitser only ruled that because of the way he has been treated - and would be treated in the future - in government custody, Assange is too much a suicide risk to be sent to the US. Is this "victory" without principles going to stand? Also today: What happened to the flu? Fauci warns of a nationwide California-ization. Amen? And more...
Please enjoy this short speech given by Ron Paul back in 1988. Take note that the ideas of Liberty have not changed at all.
By definition, future human actions and the motivations behind those actions cannot be known ahead of time, or predicted with pinpoint accuracy. However, an understanding of immutable economic laws,and the principles of Liberty can shine a light as to the general direction that we're heading in. Join us on what to expect in the coming year.
The text of the 5,593-page bill was made available hours before the votes in the House and Senate. Representatives and senators were told the bill had to pass immediately or else government would shut down around Christmas. This does not excuse voting for the bill. Congress should have refused to vote for this bill until members had time to read it.
The politically-connected rich keep getting richer at the expense of the middle class and poor. The Fed is the apparatus that makes it all happen.
Even in the most dire circumstances, optimism and belief in the cause of Liberty must be maintained. This show focuses on positive developments for Liberty, in a year filled with authoritarianism.
Across the country hospital administrators are facing unexpected push-back from employees on the issue of the covid vaccine. More and more are refusing to take it, with at least one hospital CEO mentioning "mistrust" and fear. Why? Also today, poor Dr. Birx has had her feelings hurt over her family Thanksgiving trip. US has record deaths in 2020? San Francisco's record overdoses. And more...
Forget about borrowing money from China. That's old-fashioned. These days, with yesterday's trillion dollar "stimulus" bill, the Fed just creates free money for Americans! We can all be rich! What could go wrong? The combined 5,500 page "stimulus" bill and omnibus bill sprung on Congress at the last minute should go down as one of the most shameful chapters of US governance...
The lockdowns have already caused as many as 200,000 small businesses to permanently close.
Authoritarian government officials love to mandate that everyone "stay at home" to fight the virus, but when it comes to their own lives, they are not about to give up their freedom. The latest hypocrite is government coronavirus task force leader Dr. Deborah Birx, who spent Thanksgiving at her second house with guests in violation of her orders for others. Also today, Sen. Rand Paul slams idiotic mandates that have no science behind them. Vaccine problems. Recall Newsom. And more...
Democrats and Republicans publicly argue and bicker with one another. Outwardly, there is conflict. But when it comes to expanding the power of government in every direction, there couldn't be more harmony between them. The growth of state power and destruction of individual liberty is a bipartisan affair laced with endless lies. Word of another "stimulus" is in the headlines, with the stated intention of "helping" Americans and the economy.
There are many calls for President Trump to pardon Julian Assange. Ron Paul agrees that it would be a very good idea.
Why are the American people waiting on "experts" to tell them that it's OK to live a normal life again? The "experts" seem to just keep moving the goalposts. The more time that goes by, the further out the goalposts are moved. How did 15 days turn into this?
Everyone knows how government policies implemented this year have caused suffering for adults and small businesses. But government policies have also negatively affected the young in so many ways as well. One-size-fits-all policies in a world of individuals runs contrary to the ideas of Liberty. It has produced the dire circumstances that we currently find ourselves in. Individual liberty is our only life vest.
It is a hallmark of central planners to proclaim the paradise that they're going to create on Earth. Human freedom will be gone, of course, and the world will be set straight by the authorities and planners. 'You will own nothing, and be happy,' is the newest bottle for the old wine. As always, it's best not to get caught up in the latest sales pitch, but always embrace one's own freedom and liberty.
Echoing arch-lockdowner Anthony Fauci, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Melinda Gates has expressed some surprise in a recent New York Times article about the massive economic disaster that has followed the coronavirus outbreak. While she blames the pandemic rather than the government over-reaction to the pandemic for the economic destruction, her surprise that health policy has an economic impact underscores the total failure of the pro-lockdown elites. Also today: Canada vaccine passport, Russian vaccine warnings, Texas election lawsuit, and more...
As the US FDA is preparing to approve the Pfizer Covid vaccine for emergency use, the UK health authority has issued a warning that individuals with severe allergies should avoid the vaccine due to potential for serious reactions. In the UK, the health authority has also recommended that the vaccine "should only be carried out in facilities where resuscitation measures are available." With Americans divided on whether they want to get the vaccine, will this news push more to refuse? Also today, the US faces a lockdown-induced mental health crisis according to a recent Gallup survey. LA County sees outdoor dining ban overturned by superior court judge.
Concerns are mounting about the competing Covid vaccinations, as the UK reports it may inject a cocktail of two different vaccines and the FDA warns of "severe adverse reactions' after dose two of the Pfizer vaccine. Polls suggest that Americans are not all eager to stand in line for the shot. Will they be forced? Also today: Are the hospitals really filling up? Respected Coronavirus Task Force Member warns against lockdowns. Heroes and villains in Chicago and Virginia. Texas Attorney General sues battleground states over last minute election changes.
Rejection of the dollar’s reserve currency status abroad and the crack-up at home will cause an economic meltdown worse than the Great Depression. The only way to avoid this fate is to spread the ideas of liberty among the people.
The cruel illogic of this latest round of Covid lockdowns has infuriated more and more Americans and exposed the corruption and hypocrisy of the "leaders." While outdoor dining is being forcibly shut down in places like California - with no "science" to back the move up - indoor shopping at big-box stores continues unabated. Small restaurants are going under by the thousands while the powerful and well-connected are reaping record profits. America is being pushed to the breaking point by hypocrite "do as I say not as I do" governors like California's Gavin Newsom and many more. This and more in today's Liberty Report...
'Stay home for Christmas'. Wear masks for the 'first 100 days' of the Biden Administration. Everyone to be issued vaccination cards and tracked in a CDC database. But, even with vaccines, UK medical officer says masks will have to be worn "for years." Authoritarianism is travelling at full-speed. The ideas of individual liberty are more important now than ever.
Like so many other "crises" that preceded it, the Covid-19 "pandemic" has provided fertile territory for the authoritarians who seize any opportunity to destroy freedom and liberty under the false claim of "keeping us safe." The PATRIOT Act passed after 9/11 was supposed to do the same thing: keep us safe by targeting the terrorists who wanted to kill us. But as we learned from Ed Snowden shortly afterward, it was a lie. The PATRIOT Act was designed to view us as the enemy, to be spied on, tracked, and harassed. The Covid "crisis" and coming vaccine will be the same. Will Americans resist? Also today, more Covid Hypocrites - from Austin to California. And an LA County mayor claims anyone without a mask is a "domestic terrorist."
The marriage between government & crony big business was on full display this year. The generation of big fear by the former was met with big profits for the latter. The widespread belief that government needs to "regulate" our social and economic lives provides the foundation for this poisonous marriage to thrive. Individual Liberty and free markets (without government interference) can perform the annulment, but they need to be desired first.
As the Fed counterfeits and counterfeits some more, the price of Bitcoin has hit record highs. A financial crisis looms as there is a great disconnect between economic reality and the financial fantasyland that The Fed has once again created. Today we discuss the terrible traps known as legal tender laws, crypto, and the dire necessity of separating government from money creation.
History will smile kindly upon President Trump if he also grants full pardons to Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
Governors, mayors, and other officials across the country and across the world are laying out restriction upon restriction for their subjects in the name of fighting a virus. But when it comes to obeying the edicts they demand others to follow, more often than not they are exposed as hypocrites...or worse. Also today, insanity in Washington state, violence in France, kids and quarantine, and a heroic gym owner. Don't miss today's Liberty Report...
The Russiagate hoax...the Covid overreaction...the election...Ron Paul Institute Executive Director Daniel McAdams ties them all together in this speech given on Nov. 7, 2020 at Mises Lake Jackson in Texas.
Happy Thanksgiving! Please enjoy this Ron Paul speech presented at the Mises Institute "Symposium with Ron Paul" on Nov. 7, 2020, in Angleton, Texas.
The rhetoric from those looking forward to a Biden administration is that everyone is now expected to travel back in time to pre-2016 America. Well, that's not how it works. Not only President Trump, but especially the four-year vitriolic reaction to Trump, has roused a sense of Americanism that has changed the mentality of many formerly apathetic Americans. The way forward will not be as easy as 'just forget the last four years.'
If Joe Biden is successful in his fight for the White House, he will be bringing with him a foreign policy team that is responsible for some of the biggest and deadliest fiascos in the past quarter century. From the idiotic attack on Yugoslavia, to arming jihadists in Syria, to the murder of Libya and the Ukraine coup, the team of rabid interventionists readying themselves to return to power have left a scorched earth behind them. Now they are ready to get back in the ring.
After being caught dining with a large group in an exclusive restaurant - against his own orders - California governor Gavin Newsom is facing a bit of a rebellion among the citizens. First, virtually every southern California sheriff and many northern California sheriffs made it clear that they would NOT enforce the governor's absurd Thanksgiving guidelines. Then, large groups have gathered in places like Huntington Beach to defy and protest the governor's new 10:00 PM curfew. Also a recall campaign is picking up steam. Also today, science versus "science" on Covid-19 - why all the testing and lockdowns? Does it still make sense?
The Fed’s counterfeiting of dollars hits the poor and those on fixed incomes like a sledgehammer. Inflation leads to there never being enough money at the end of the month. To make matters worse, unnecessary COVID lockdowns have slammed middle class small businesses, while crony politically-connected corporations made out like bandits. Free markets and sound money are desperately needed to return to an economic reality that has been lost on America since the Fed was founded in 1913.
In the first comprehensive, peer-reviewed study the efficacy of face masks to prevent the spread of Covid has been called into question. Within the margin of error there is virtually no difference between a masked group and an unmasked group, Danish scientists discovered. Yet this major discovery about the virus is being completely ignored by authoritarian governors who are demanding even MORE intrusive mask mandates. Are we really following "the science"? Or politics?
Health journalist Bill Sardi joins today's Liberty Report with the results from his extensive reporting on Covid and the rush to a vaccine. Find out why most everything the "experts" are telling us...is wrong! Plus today - the Danish face mask study is FINALLY published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. The results may - or may not - surprise you!
Across the country authoritarian governors and local officials are imposing new "guidelines" on Americans as they plan for the Thanksgiving holiday later this month. They are using coronavirus as an excuse to cancel the entire holiday season. But slowly a resistance is forming to these petty tyrants. We'll highlight some of that resistance. Also today, new Covid testing tricks and the European crackdown...
In a recent interview the newly resurgent Covid guru Dr. Anthony Fauci laid down the iron fist: I know we have an independent spirit in the US, he said, but now's the time to do what you're told! That is always the refrain from authoritarians. President Trump's coronavirus advisor, Dr. Scott Atlas, takes a very different approach. Also today, the unbearable coronavirus hypocrisy of our "leaders." And...vaccine news: should we cheer?
20 million Americans are collecting unemployment, and Joe Biden wants a nationwide lockdown to battle a virus that has a 99+% survival rate. There is one immoral and unconstitutional institution that enables this kind of authoritarian madness: The Federal Reserve.
Former vice president Joe Biden has been declared president-elect by the mainstream media and he is wasting no time making good on his promise to lock the country down in the name of fighting Covid. His Covid task force member Dr. Michael Osterholm is recommending a four to six week mandatory national lockdown, paid for by a massive money-printing operation. Will doing the same thing again bring different results? Also today...here's how they are going to force you to take the Covid vaccine. And...election update: Giuliani claims 650,000 illegal ballots cast in Pennsylvania. Is he just blowing smoke?
President Trump's efforts to ensure a fair election process have been demonized by virtually every mainstream media outlet. Even Republicans have by and large abandoned him. But are the legal challenges in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania starting to gain traction? Also today, globalist Klaus Schwab tells us we can never have normal again. And...what will Biden's foreign policy look like?
The announcement that the US Justice Department would be looking into some aspects of last week's election has elicited screaming and wailing from those convinced that Biden's win is a slam-dunk. Would the mainstream media resistance to investigating possible fraud be the same had Trump appeared to pull off a second term? Also today, is Biden breaking the law by speaking with foreign leaders about what a Biden Administration foreign policy would look like? The answer might surprise you...

The markets are euphoric over news that a new Pfizer vaccine might have 90 percent effectiveness. Meanwhile, Joe Biden has doubled down on his threat to instill a nationwide mask mandate if he prevails in the ongoing election dispute. Even as Biden assembles his transition team, serious doubts continue to persist on the accuracy of the November 3rd vote. Will Trump get traction with his swing state vote count challenges?
New York Times bestselling author Charles Goyette joins today's Liberty Report to talk about his new book, "The Last Gold Rush…Ever!: 7 Reasons for the Runaway Gold Market and How You Can Profit from It," and about the coming big economic crash. What to do? Watch the program!
With the election results still in limbo two days after the vote was held, and widespread charges of vote fraud, America faces a crisis of confidence in the electoral system that is on the verge of unleashing the mob onto the streets. A delegitimized occupant in the presidency is not the worst thing from a libertarian perspective, but the mob gathering steam is a danger to all. How will it all play out?
The introduction and legalization of "ballot harvesting," where operatives can collect and submit boxes of ballots without proof of identity, has thrown a huge monkey wrench into last night's presidential vote tally. States are wavering wildly as hundreds of thousands of votes are suddenly "discovered." Hillary Clinton's former lawyer is behind the mass legalization of this questionable process. Is this the worst run election in US history?
In scenes reminiscent of a third world country somewhere, military troops are moving into several US cities and commercial establishments are boarding up their windows as America goes to the polls to select its next president. How did we get to such a state where an orderly transition has become a literal battleground? Also today, Dr. Fauci admits the PCR test for coronavirus is all but useless as it is administered in the US and California tyrant governor Newsom gets a smackdown from the California supreme court.
Instead of admitting that the lockdowns were a mistake, many in the political class, which includes a disturbing number of medical professionals whose positions and prestige depend on government, claim that we cannot return to normalcy until a coronavirus vaccine is in wide use.
As President Trump completes his whirlwind final few campaign stops, the crowds are becoming more and more vocal, responding to the president's mocking the media for its Covid obsession with a chant of "Fire Fauci!" Trump hints it's on the agenda. Also today: Fauci plays politics days before the election...and more evidence that mask mandates do nothing to prevent new "cases."
Politicians want the Fed to counterfeit more money. The Fed wants politicians to spend the counterfeit money even faster. All are trying to "stimulate" a broken economy that rests on a foundation of sand: central economic planning. Human civilization, society, and the economy cannot be controlled by price-fixers, counterfeiters and bureaucrats. Freedom and sound money are the only things that can fix what they have broken.
When city authorities in Waynesville, NC, announced that they were considering a city mask mandate they had not idea what was about to hit them. At the city council meeting at which the discussion was to take place, a massive show of citizen opposition and participation stole the show from the mandate promoters. Also today, why is flu disappearing in the US and elsewhere as Covid "cases" continue to rise?
With the exception of a few in the mainstream media - such as Tucker Carlson - there has been a total blackout on what appear to be a credible and very damning tidal wave of information on corrupt Biden business deals. Last night Tucker Carlson interviewed one individual in the center of the scandals with first-hand information. So why won't the media do its job and look into the story - whether to confirm or debunk it? Instead, Democrat operatives and deep staters have been brought back to scream "Russia Russia Russia!" Also today, coronavirus tyranny hits churches here and abroad.
Billionaire software developer Bill Gates is furious that President Trump is now listening to the moderate approach to Covid presented by Dr. Scott Atlas and is increasingly at odds with Anthony "mandatory mask" Fauci. In an interview yesterday Gates slammed the Stanford University professor and University of Chicago Medical School graduate as a "pseudo-expert." Is this actually good news? Also today, what is the contextual meaning of the 2.1 million Covid deaths?
The fear and panic is being stoked heavily, once again, about surges in cases and surges in hospitalizations. Former FDA Director Scott Gottlieb (who is on the board of at least seven big pharma and medical policy companies) is calling for a "mandatory nationwide mask mandate"! Are we really returning to April levels of Covid, or is this a last-minute political ploy just a week from election day?
"We can't do it, unless we raise taxes." These are words that one hardly ever hears from Washington. How can this be? How can they run a military empire, a humongous welfare state, bailout everyone, and make promises that can never be kept? Well, it's the unconstitutional Federal Reserve that created this fantasy, and all fantasies ultimately crash on the shores of reality. The great economist Ludwig von Mises spoke of the "crack-up boom." You should know what it is, and how to protect yourself before it arrives.
Tonight the two US presidential candidates are set to square off again in a debate. The former vice president has cancelled campaign appearances this week to "prepare" for the event. The debate commission said no foreign policy among the topics. Also today: the Biden scandal worsens. And...are Russia AND Iran trying to fix our elections? Plus: suicides on the increase.
NPR is reporting on several new studies concluding that schools are not nearly as dangerous for either students or teachers regarding coronavirus and also that the death rate from the virus is plunging. This is NPR - the mainstream media. So why does the war on children continue? Also in today's program: "excess deaths" - who are they? A return to lockdown in the US. And more Republican saber rattling toward China.
There is a lot to cheer about when it comes to most of President Trump's foreign policy statements. He regularly tells us he is ending foreign wars and bringing troops home. But do the people who work for him even listen?
Speaking on a conference call yesterday, President Trump made what appears to be a final and irreversible break with the "lockdown" and "facemask" policies of Anthony Fauci and the rest of the Covid "experts" who have spent the past half year or so attacking civil liberties in the name of fighting a virus. Will this last-minute attack on Fauci and all the other "idiots who got it wrong" pay dividends as the campaign winds toward the finish? Plus today: Dallas Morning News runs pro-Great Barrington Declaration op-ed: is the tide finally turning?
Deja vu! Once again those Russians have come through to plant disinformation during a US presidential campaign! This time they are accused of being involved with Biden's son Hunter's laptop. Rep. Adam Schiff claims he's as sure about Russian activity this time as he was sure of Trump collusion with Russia last time. How did that one work out? Also today, White House top Covid advisor Dr. Scott Atlas has his Tweets yanked - more politicization of science? And...the California governor does not want you to sing.
Individual Liberty and Big Government are mutually exclusive. When America largely operated under a Constitutional government, the American middle class was awe-inspiring. Now, with a Constitution that is ignored, and with the biggest government to ever exist, the American middle class is disappearing.
The social media suppression of an investigative report in the New York Post about the business dealings of Joe Biden's son, with conservatives pointing out the double standards and biases of these companies' policies. Are they right? Is there a solution? Plus today: Scott Gottlieb and crony capitalism, Gov. Newsom on the hot-seat, and strong words from Judge Napolitano...
Yesterday's appearance of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Wolf Blitzer's CNN news program was one of the most astonishing moments in television news history. What led Pelosi to go completely off the rails at Wolf, accusing him of being a shill for the Republican Party and of not caring about people in need? What's going on here? Also today, Dr. Scott Atlas has stinging words for lockdowners, Houston's mayor again moves the goalposts as the infection rate drops, Bill Gates warns that we cannot be normal again until a "super-vaccine" arrives, and an update on Michigan.

The Trump/Fauci feud is heating up, as Fauci is furious about being featured in a campaign ad and Trump slams his pitching and prognostications. Fauci fired back by claiming that Trump's campaign rallies are dangerous virus spreading events. Is this the end for "Deep State" Fauci? Also today...are people getting Covid twice? Plus, a vaccine setback - what does it mean?
A senior official at the World Health Organization has come out strongly against the official position of his own organization, arguing over the weekend that lockdown policies are "catastrophic" and cause more harm than they solve. The scorched earth these policies have left behind are now producing more poverty and deaths than the virus. Also today, blockbuster new peer-reviewed medical journal article demonstrates that school closures are killing more kids than Covid. And California Governor Newsom begs people to stay after he's made California a living hell.

Print more money! ... Stimulate the economy! ... These are the bankrupt ideas that dominate a bankrupt Washington D.C. They are acts of desperation to try to fend off the inevitable economic disaster that central bankers and politicians have set into motion over the last 100 years. Central planning has (once again) failed, and printing more money will not save it.
The Commission on Presidential Debates unilaterally - they claim - decided that there can be no more presidential debates in person so the next one must be "virtual." The Trump camp cried "foul," claiming that precautions can be taken to make it "safe." Is a unilateral cancellation of a presidential debate in the heat of an election a form of rigging the vote? Also today, the slow - but successful - slog through the courts to defeat tyrannical rule in the name of fighting a virus.

Yesterday's declassification of then-CIA Director John Brennan's hand-written notes on Hillary Clinton's alleged invention of a Trump-Russia scandal to distract from her own private email server scandal is an explosive development in the four year "Russiagate" scandal. So why is the mainstream media, which obsessed over "Russiagate" for four years, suddenly silent? Also on today's program: Fmr. FBI officer calls Trump "biological terrorist." And NY and CA Governors lose their marbles.

President Trump returned to the White House from a weekend stay in the hospital after experiencing Covid symptoms. In a dramatic moment, before entering the building he took off his mask and told Americans to stop being so afraid of Covid that it dominates your life. The president's detractors - and virtually the entire mainstream media - had their heads explode. Has the President finally seen through the political manipulation of the Covid public health crisis?
As Fauci warns Americans that they need to 'hunker down' again to avoid viruses, a group of top scientists and epidemiologists have released a detailed plan to get over the covid crisis while actually preserving lives. Also today: the economic costs of the shutdown continue to devastate and...victory in Michigan against a tyrant?

America, the federal republic & America, the global empire. Two distinct Americas. The first was marked by individual liberty, sound money, free markets and a foreign policy of non-intervention. The latter is marked by dependence on government, fiat money, dominance of government and politically-connected business, and endless war. Sound money fueled America's rise. Federal Reserve counterfeiting is hastening its decline.
The Centers for Disease Control have released a "helpful" set of guidelines for upcoming holidays. Celebrating Halloween or Thanksgiving as we did in the "old normal" is out of the question. Consider a "virtual" Thanksgiving, they recommend. Also today, CNN tells us there is NO RETURN to normal, and if you want to return you may be mentally ill. Also - Why is CIA Director Haspel blocking declassification of documents critical to understanding "Russiagate"?

Last night's presidential debate was more like a food fight than a serious discussion of policies. Moderator Chris Wallace lost control early on and seemed to bring his biases with him to the event. Underneath all the rudeness and screaming, however, a few important points and distinctions can be made. In today's Liberty Report we will do our best to bring those distinctions to light.
Thrilla in Manila? Hardly. Tonight's presidential debate has many hanging at the edge of their seats, but it's not because they are interested in a serious philosophical discussion about the direction of the United States, a country clearly in crisis. Will Biden show up? Will Trump bring his bombast? How many punches will fly? But the debate will be marked more by what is NOT said by the candidates. Also today, Fauci and CDC Director Redfield declare war on Dr. Scott Atlas.
The Centers for Disease Control have come out with a new estimate of the Covid infection fatality ratio and the numbers will shock you. No wonder the Florida governor has said "enough is enough" and decided to open his state up completely. We are told to trust the CDC, so why is the mainstream media ignoring this very important news? Is this still about a disease...or is it politics?

In a recent interview Dr. Fauci revealed that he takes multiple vitamin supplements to help boost his immune system and fend off disease. Dr. Joseph Mercola joins today's Liberty Report to explain how we might be able to also provide our bodies with additional protections against diseases with such vitamins and natural immune boosters.
Two insiders have recently emerged to give a shocking view behind the scenes of the ongoing Covid narrative. A former chief science officer at pharma giant Pfizer and a former official at the CDC have both come forward with shocking tales of fraud and falsification. Also today, US support for a Covid vaccine continues to plummet based on recent polls. More good news out of Pennsylvania. Dementia deaths. And more...
In a rare - perhaps even unprecedented - move, the Executive Committee of the Texas Republican party has passed a resolution condemning Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott for continuing to keep Texas partially closed down while picking and choosing which businesses can open and which cannot. Governor Abbott is facing an increasing rebellion in his own party, especially as the coronavirus numbers in Texas continue to plummet. Also in today's program, the CDC flip-flops again, this time on whether coronavirus is airborne. Can we trust a single thing they say?
The CDC can't seem to get it straight. Wear a mask, don't wear a mask; get tested, don't get tested. No matter how contradictory or plain silly is their advice, it's all based on "science," they claim. Will the latest flip-flop further undermine their credibility? Plus in today's program: Health workers LESS likely to get infected? And...Texas governor kicks Texas bars in the teeth.
This week the Fed decided that interest rates would remain artificially suppressed at zero, and stay there for years to come! Central planners always end up backing themselves into an impossible corner. The idea that a government-created central bank can plan the economy by price-fixing and counterfeiting currency is proving itself to be impossible.
Yesterday Centers for Disease Control Director Redfield testified before Congress, while dragging his fingers all along the inside of his mask and thus contaminating it, that wearing a mask was even more important than any future coronavirus vaccine. Funny, the CDC was singing a different tune just months ago. Why can't they seem to get it right? Is this science...or politics? Also today: HUGE Nashville scandal on Covid reporting and Texas Governor Abbott unfairly shafts the inner-tube rental companies for no reason.
The breathless headlines about an alleged Iranian plot to kill the US Ambassador to South Africa in retaliation for the US assassination of Iranian General Soleimani captured everyone's attention over the past few days. President Trump threatened Iran with destruction if they even think about it. But behind the headlines, is there anything to this story? Or is it just another in a long line of scare stories "leaked" by anonymous "US officials" all meant to control the foreign policy narrative? Also in today's program, the bizarre UK move to encourage citizens to spy on their neighbors - soon coming to our shores?
A federal judge in Pennsylvania yesterday blew the top off of the massive authoritarian over-reach by governors throughout the country, ruling that Pennsylvania's governor and state health official violated the US Constitution in exercising what it claimed were "emergency powers" in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Will the judge's ruling begin to break down the wall of authoritarianism in the US? Also today, the state of Texas has employed shockingly inaccurate and shoddy testing and reporting methods, resulting in policy decisions being made without accurate information. As even the New York Times has noticed deep problems in Texas, state health authorities are rushing to clean up the mess they've made of things. With new and more accurate numbers showing far fewer infections, will the governor finally lift his tyrannical restrictions on Texans?
Last week's bombshell that President Trump told WaPo writer Bob Woodward he was trying to "downplay" the coronavirus so as to not panic the population resulted in the usual hysteria from the president's critics. Was it an incredibly reckless and dangerous approach...or did it make good sense? Plus in today's Liberty Report: New poll shows America is sick of Fauci - is it a surprise? Also, panic over the "casedemic" continues as US hospitals empty for lack of Covid patients. Still the scaremongering continues in the media.

According to a CNBC/Change Research poll, most voters in six swing states don't consider either Trump or Biden as 'mentally fit' to be president. But can anyone be mentally fit to do the impossible? The US Presidency has been warped into something it wasn't ever intended to be. The President was never intended to try to "run" America, let alone the entire world! Both are impossibilities, and no degree of 'mental fitness' can make either one possible.
Fresh off a viral video on Facebook, Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough joins today's Liberty Report with a clear message to Texas political leaders from local mayors all the way to the Governor's office: the measures taken to fight coronavirus in Texas have not made one bit of difference. Masks or no masks, lockdowns or no lockdowns, the survival rate for those infected with the coronavirus is more than 99 percent. It is time to open Texas up completely. 100 percent! Also, Judge Keough explains why Governor Abbott's "mask mandate" is no such thing.
A Norwegian lawmaker has nominated President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work facilitating the recent UAE/Israel agreement. Trump is accused of shooting from the hip - at least verbally - and his presidency is marked by significantly increased military spending. But is there some logic to the nomination? Especially considering the last US president to receive a Nobel Peace Prize?
Was the whole coronavirus panic set off by a faulty understanding of the difference between infection fatality rate and case fatality rate? One doctor in the UK makes a strong case that the mania was set off by a math mistake. Also today, more mainstream outlets concluding that lockdowns were a terrible mistake. SF government gyms remain open while commercial gyms driven out of business. Baseball madness, as Nationals general manager ejected from game...for no mask in his own private booth in an empty stadium!
What is happening as the massive bubble is bursting in the US economy? Is there any hope to survive - or even prosper - in the age of Fed bubbles, Covid-19 hysteria, and riots in the street?

The gloves are off and the fight is dirty! Those who have invested themselves in the idea that locking people down, destroying economies, and obliterating civil liberties in the name of fighting a virus are furious that President Trump has begun listening to a medical professional and policy expert who has a very different view. Dr. Scott Atlas has several times mentioned the successful approach of Sweden, which did better than many European countries without locking down and without destroying its economy. The US lockdowners want Dr. Atlas gone and they are not bashful about lying through their teeth. Also today, Governor Cuomo threatens Trump; political pressure for a November Covid vaccine; are people who refuse facemasks "sociopaths"? Watch today's Liberty Report.
US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was busted yesterday, sneaking in to a beauty salon in San Francisco for a shampoo. Salons in California had been closed for months to "fight Covid" but the Speaker obviously believes that some people are more equal than others. Also today, Australia descends into a dark and frightful dictatorship, as citizens are arrested for merely posting on Facebook that they oppose the lockdowns.
From Chicago to Portland to Kenosha, US cities are in flames. Looting and wanton destruction continues without interruption. Police are given orders to stand back and allow thugs to beat, loot, murder, and burn with impunity. And, as we saw with Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, those in charge of these burning cities all cry out together, "it's all Trump's fault!" Is it? Also in today's episode, WHO's communist leader screams that we need more Covid lockdowns even as the truth about the inflated numbers comes out. Dr. Scott Atlas making waves discussing the benefits of hydroxychloroquine. And the New York Times (!) reports that Covid tests are worse than useless.
Over the weekend the Centers for Disease Control dropped a bombshell report on coronavirus/Covid deaths: of the approximately 165,000 "Covid deaths" less than ten thousand died from Covid. The rest - a vast majority - had on average 2.6 serious additional diseases, with the addition in most cases of extreme advanced age. Is it time to begin litigating the damage done to the US and the world from the lockdown policies? Also today: the "largest protest in German history" over the weekend, as estimated millions turned out to oppose mandatory masks and lockdowns. Similar protests took place in London and in Spain. In the US...mostly silence.
With tens of millions unemployed, and countless businesses gone for good, the heavy hand of government continues to pile on. State and local governments are looking to raise taxes in this environment, and the Federal Reserve, the enabler of big government, intends to escalate the counterfeiting of dollars on top of the trillions already created out-of-thin-air. More taxes and higher prices ahead, which makes for more economic heartache for the American people.
The US continues to illegally occupy Syrian territory and to illegally confiscate Syrian oil, but it is also playing very dangerous military games with the Russians, who are in Syria legally at the request of their ally. This week a US military vehicle attempting to block Russian passage along a Syrian road rammed the Russian military vehicle. Several American soldiers were reported injured. What is the purpose of this risky adventurism? Also today, Department of Justice looks into forced relocation of Covid patients into nursing homes; Hillary tells Joe to start a "color revolution" in the US if he loses the election.

It was one of the most notorious cases of 'cancel culture' gone crazy. A young high school student was relentlessly bullied and character-assassinated by the mainstream media because he wore a MAGA hat while a bully screamed in his face. Nicholas Sandmann turned the tables and walked away with millions of dollars after suing the media outlets that slandered him. But is "cancel culture" going away? Or is it getting more violent?
From mainstream publications like the Wall Street Journal to top government health advisors in the UK, a consensus is building that the sledgehammer of Covid lockdowns has been an unmitigated disaster. It's good news that more mainstream sources are coming our way, but the dark forces of authoritarianism are not about to release their grasp so easily. Also today - Plasma treatment is getting the HCQ treatment in the MSM and New York sees introduction of mandatory detention and vaccine bill.
Why, with just a few exceptions, have all political leaders pursed virtually the same response to the coronavirus outbreak? Lockdown, "social-distancing," masks? Even the same empty slogans: "Alone together." Is it a worldwide conspiracy? As Jeff Tucker writes in a recent article, the truth is likely more banal. Ignorance and laziness. Plus in today's Liberty Report: more on cooking the Covid books, teen depression thanks to the lockdowns, and more...
Politicians are spending money (that they don’t have) like never before. Bailouts, “Stimulus,” and Welfare for everyone are the only game in town. The great enabler, the Federal Reserve, counterfeits dollars by the trillions! The failure of "planning" cannot be more obvious! Representative Thomas Massie sounds off in opposition to the madness on today's Liberty Report!
The whole narrative is falling apart. New studies every day are proving beyond a doubt that the measures taken worldwide - with a few exceptions - to "fight" what they claimed was a "new" coronavirus have not only failed to slow or stop the disease, they have been counterproductive. It turns out that people develop lasting T-cell immunities, that patients have been successfully treated with T-cells from asymptomatic test-positive cases, and that the virus rarely spreads outside the family setting. What are the authoritarians going to do when it is no longer possible to keep this information hidden? How will they keep people shut down. Plus today: Utah shows a way out of corona-tyranny, big party in Wuhan, they are still cooking the books, and...enemy of the week!
As the "Sun Belt" wave of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations burns itself out - as is always the case with a virus - those authoritarian politicians still clinging to the ability to push their citizens around refuse to give up. As in the Lord of the Rings, they cannot bear letting go of the ring of power. But what will it take for them to finally relinquish their stranglehold on our lives? Many hospitals are now suffering from a lack of patients and deaths among those under 50 years of age remain nearly non-existent. When is this over? What's the end game?
Obama's "Assad must go" Syria policy lives on, even three plus years into the Trump Administration. Yesterday, US troops illegally occupying Syrian territory shot at a Syrian army checkpoint and a US helicopter followed up by destroying the outpost. At least one Syrian soldier was killed in the incident. Earlier this month a politically-connected US firm signed a contract with the US government to "modernize" US-controlled oilfields in Syria - to "starve Assad." Also today: insanity in Australia and New Zealand and mouth fungus outbreak in the US.
President Trump has been consistent on Iran and, unfortunately, consistently wrong. His Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been foaming at the mouth for war with Iran for years, along with the various neocons like Eliot Abrams who serve as cogs in the war machine. As the US moves closer to war with Iran, the utter failure of Trump's "maximum pressure" policy is laid bare. Unless this Administration wakes up to this failure and changes course, the future is dire for the US and the Middle East. Also today: Winners and losers and more coronavirus updates.
Nephew of President John F. Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy, and tireless crusader against the tyranny of the mainstream medical establishment, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his startling discoveries about who really killed his father and uncle...and why. Plus, Mr. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer, has been among the most vocal and most successful opponents of the mainstream medical establishment, driven by big Pharma to inoculate and medicate everything that moves. He tells the Liberty Report how he very reluctantly decided to dedicate his career to fighting the mandatory vaccines that have resulted in so many documented injuries to the recipients.
Mr. Kennedy's Children's Health Defense can be found at http://www.childrenshealthdefense.org He can also be found on Instagram: @robertfkennedyjr
A California mega-church has refused to buckle under the tyrannical governor's orders to limit attendance to 100 people. On Sunday, between 6-7,000 worshipers showed up and attended services. Also today: Florida sheriff says 'no masks!" A post-apocalyptic UK conference. Epidemic versus 'case-demic.' And a new MIT article suggests community immunity is preventing coronavirus spread in US.
Will presidential hopeful Joe Biden choice of a pro-war authoritarian as his running mate give him the edge over Trump? Is there any issue Kamala Harris is not terrible on from a libertarian point of view? But there is good news out of Washington: President Trump has chosen a new coronavirus advisor who opposes lockdowns and believes the virus is actually under control. Will Fauci start packing his bags?
Across the United States authoritarians are clamoring for a return to lockdown over what they claim is a resurgence of coronavirus infections. Despite the data not supporting that conclusion, they want to shut the economy down and further destroy life in the US. They point to Europe's success with lockdowns - even as there appears to be a resurgence of cases in Europe. What is most shocking and striking is that no one in authority in the US is calling for us to emulate the one country that appears to have beat the virus thus far: Sweden. Why can't they even utter the word "Sweden"?

A Nashville, TN councilwoman has proposed charging anyone not wearing a mask with either murder or attempted murder. Is it any wonder violence, anger, and fear is spreading even as coronavirus deaths continue to decline? Why are they doing this? Also today, dentists report a surge in cavities and gum disease among people wearing masks. Kansas health official busted faking charts to falsely inflate effectiveness of mask-wearing. Big motorcycle rally in South Dakota - no masks!
Politicians and Central Bankers attempt to do the impossible. They believe that with dictates and counterfeit money they can control the economy. The reality is the exact opposite. They only destroy the economy. Is it any wonder that the ultimate international money - Gold - has hit all-time highs in terms of The Fed's debased dollars? Gold has no ties to any politician or central banker. It is a source of independence. More and more people are wanting that kind of independence.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is desperately begging rich people to return to the state and to New York City. He's killed off the old people by sending Covid patients into nursing homes and he's killed off the economy by shutting down, but he's offered to cook a meal for any rich person who returns to the burned out shell of the former great city. Any takers? Plus in today's Report: LA Mayor: "Want to party? Try it without any electricity or water!" Houston begs people to get Covid tested after new "cases" continue to fall. And Sweden has advice on how to open schools. Should we listen to success?
The authoritarians who have locked this country down ostensibly to fight the outbreak of a coronavirus are not going to let up once a vaccine is ready. Already we are seeing additional qualifiers and contingencies being made that will only serve to prolong their rule-by-decree. A vaccine is not going to end it. Also today: More Americans are saying "no" to any vaccine; CDC Director admits a financial incentive to list deaths as "Covid"; Gov. Whitmer cracks down harder...but why? And more...
According to a recent Axio-Ipsos poll, Americans are increasingly skeptical of the official case and death reports being served up by politicians and the mainstream media. Are we getting closer to the awakening needed to put an end to Covid tyranny? Plus in today's program: New York Times admits that lockdowns will kill more than Covid; What is happening to Australia; Houston Mayor threatens residents; and the real danger to Americans is not Covid according to this important map.
They are rushing through a Covid vaccine at a blistering pace, while granting immunity to big Pharma for any damage it might do to the American people. They are lowering the minimum effectiveness level to 50 percent - like tossing a coin. The propaganda machine is in high gear. Should we line up for the shot? Also in today's Liberty Report: Massive anti-lockdown protests in Europe!
The economic bad news hit hard this week with the GDP crashing 33% in the second quarter. The tyrannical lockdowns have produced the steepest economic collapse since 1947. The fallout from Americans sacrificing their liberties to government power is overwhelming. With suicides, drug overdoses, a doubling in domestic violence, and tens of millions unemployed, two things should come to everyone's mind: "Look what they've done!" and "Americans should never sacrifice their liberties again!"
Dr. Fauci is back in the limelight where he likes to be. In a recent ABC interview he informs Americans that if they "really want 100 percent protection" they should not only wear masks, but also goggles on their eyes. Will he be recommending space suits next week? Also in today's Liberty Report: With the latest Depression-level drop in US GDP, the real costs of the lockdown are becoming evident. Poverty, hunger, and more death will continue the foolish policy of shutting down the US economy instead of protecting the vulnerable. Plus, Are The Netherlands, Sweden, Mumbai, and Afghanistan all on the right track?
A viral video made by medical professionals opposing the prevailing mainstream view of how to manage the coronavirus outbreak was nearly sent down the memory hole in an effort seemingly coordinated by all social media outlets. Why are alternate scientific views held by bona fide scientists not allowed in the United States? Also in today's Liberty Report: Suicides versus Covid; Vietnam versus Sweden; Senate comes to the rescue? Tune in...and subscribe to the channel!
While much of the world imposed strict population lockdowns in response to the outbreak of the coronavirus, the pressure on countries (and even US states) to conform to the lockdown demands was intense. But a few counties broke from the pack and now the results are in: not only did they not experience a cataclysm, they fared better in both cases and deaths than the lockdown countries. And they have economies to return to once the virus runs its course, which it is doing according to the history of viruses. Also today: Fauci's "not concerned" by potential dangers of the Covid vaccine. Should the rest of us be?

The director of the World Health Organization has warned that we can never go back to normal after the coronavirus outbreak that has killed approximately 650,000 worldwide. But every year the normal flu kills about that many...so why the lockdowns and forced masks and destruction of the economy for this one? What is the real agenda behind this mass hysteria? Also today - as the Sun Belt "spike" continues to fade, what will be the next tyrant move to terrify - and terrorize - the population? And finally, Cuomo's attack on chicken wings.
The Fed is counterfeiting trillions of dollars. The government has created mass unemployment and is spending way beyond what it takes from us in taxes. While the livelihoods of the American citizens are destroyed, government refuses to shrink. More promises that can't be kept are being made. Gold is starting its engines and heading to record highs. Are the ideas of omnipotent government and central planning finally on their way out?
Remember Libya? The country "liberated" by Obama and Hillary? Nine years later the country remains destroyed, with the remains being picked apart by warlords and slave traders. Turkey, an enthusiastic supporter of the 2011 invasion, is making its move to snatch Libyan oil. Neighboring Egypt says, "not so fast." The world is distracted by disappearing coronavirus while a major war is brewing. Also in today's Report, Texas Covid updates, W.H.O. hires corrupt PR firm, and more...
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was in the UK yesterday, blaming China for the spread of the coronavirus and suggesting it was a purposeful move on the part of Beijing. Further, in an incredible escalation, the US State Department has demanded that China evacuate its consulate in Houston, TX. Meanwhile, US Defense Secretary Esper is threatening more US military for the South China Sea. Also in today's Report: Ron Paul's headlines and new Covid updates...
A couple in St. Louis will face felony charges in their much-photographed defense of their home in a private, gated and locked community as BLM and other protesters broke through the gates and moved toward the couple's home. Justice...or an attack on property rights and the Second Amendment. Plus in today's Report: More threats to jail Covid-19 positive cases if they resist house arrest. Also - what happened on June 14th that led to the massive spike in "cases"?
Everybody is talking about yesterday's Chris Wallace interview with President Trump. Many in the mainstream media are praising Wallace's forceful, even combative tone. And Fox News did "real time" fact checking of Trump's claims. But beyond the blows exchanged, is Trump starting to understand how his opponents are using Covid as a tool of political warfare? Plus in today's program: even with his wings clipped, Anthony Fauci is still spouting off in the media - did New York really do the best of any state on Covid? Plus more Covid updates - has the Sun Belt spike burned itself out?
Government propaganda is super-abundant in America. When it comes to money, Americans are expected to never contemplate a single thought about gold as the ultimate money. For thousands of years, countless civilizations around the world have used gold and silver for their economic transactions. Gold is the money of the marketplace that always ends up trumping the fiat money of governments. Gold will outlast The Fed, and the time to start thinking about it is now!
Explosive new information has revealed how President Trump in 2018 signed a presidential intelligence finding that gave the CIA unprecedented leeway to conduct secret warfare against Washington's declared enemies. Then-CIA director Mike Pompeo was handed a blank check to attack even foreign charities and news outlets. Plus in today's program: The ongoing US war against the Nordstream pipeline and coronavirus hysteria raised to unprecedented levels.
When it comes to foreign policy and war (among other things) there are not two opposing political parties in Washington. Both Republicans and Democrats desperately cling to the warfare state as their ideological and economic lifeblood. That is why Congress is using a bizarre trick to attempt to block President Trump's plan to remove US troops from its longest war in history (Afghanistan). Plus in today's program: The HUGE scandal in Florida's Covid testing!!!
Why hasn't US Occupational Safety and Health Administration bothered to do any testing on the potential negative effects of mandatory workplace face masks? An increasing number of individuals have tested C02 level build-up inside masks using OSHA-approved equipment and the results have been concerning. Why doesn't OSHA take the time to either disprove or confirm whether it is safe for face masks to be mandated on workers? Plus in today's program: corruption in Covid testing across the country and another look at the big hype over new "cases" in Texas and Florida.
Please keep the Liberty Report on the air with a tax-deductible contribution to the Ron Paul Institute: http://www.RonPaulInstitute.org/support
The scare headlines are screaming: record spike in "cases" in Arizona, Texas, and Florida! Other states are mandating face masks even where deaths and the death rate continues to decline. New York City has for the first time since March reported zero Covid deaths. So...is there anything to this "spike" in the Sun Belt? Is the hype justified?
Washington is a land of delusions. One side creates delusions about Coronavirus, while the other side creates delusions about the economy. Politicians of all stripes are so desperate to keep their house of cards together that they're putting their faith in Federal Reserve counterfeiting. The era of government omnipotence is ending.
Houston's Democrat Mayor Sylvester Turner heaped praise on the recent George Floyd protests, which drew tens of thousands of people tightly packed into the city. He even addressed the crowd. Coronavirus was no problem, the protests were too important. Yesterday Mayor Turner cancelled the Texas state Republican Party convention, which was to be held in Houston and would bring in a tiny fraction of the numbers of those who attended the Floyd protest. The mayor's reason to cancel the Republican Party convention? Coronavirus! Is this really about public health...or is it something else?
Media and politicians are using the reported massive increase in positive Covid test results to call for another US lockdown. Meanwhile there are increasing doubts as to the accuracy of the tests. New Jersey is mandating masks and two Texas counties are threatening felony charges against those with positive tests who do not stay home. Are these fears justified? Has the continuing decline of Covid deaths become meaningless?
The rule "first do no harm" appears to have been thrown out the window in the response to the 2019 coronavirus outbreak. Some studies suggest that for every "Covid" death there could be 29 deaths due to the lockdowns worldwide. Famine, depression, suicide, untreated illnesses - all of these may overshadow Covid as the killer of the year. Plus in today's program: Fauci says we're "knee-deep in the first wave," the New England Journal of Medicine suggests just suspending any worker who refuses the coronavirus vaccine, and Texas mask "mandates" explained.
The daily death count has morphed into the daily "new case" count, as 100,000 tests a day have exploded into 700,000 tests. Is it a wonder cases are increasing? But what they don't dare mention is that deaths and even the death rate continue to decline. In fact the CDC warns that Covid is at the stage where it cannot even be classified an epidemic due to declining deaths. Still, more masks are required and petty dictators all around are calling for a return to lockdown. Can the truth ever be heard above all the lies?
This July 4th, much of the United States finds itself under various levels of dictatorial orders from renegade governors, county, and local officials. The US is under rule by decree, not by rule of law. Looking at the original list of grievances the Colonists had against King George, it looks like most of them are met - and then some - by our current system of government. Can we regain our independence?
Several recent studies suggest that we are closer to "herd immunity" for Covid-19 than previously thought. Former CDC head Scott Gottleib said Covid would be gone by January because most people will have been exposed. Yet officials across the country are implementing policies that PREVENT this needed immunity! They are trying to keep healthy people apart. What's their game. Plus in today's program: We will tell you why Texas is seeing an increase in cases - it will shock you. Finally...it's time for a new "Villain of the Week!"

While they are cooking the books on "new cases" by ramping up testing and even double-testing, half the population of the US is living in states that are actually returning to some form of shut down. The Houston hospital capacity lie has pushed Texas back into shutdown. And no one is noticing that deaths and death rates continue to decrease. Is this pandemic becoming just about politics?
We cannot go back to the pre-coronavirus world, they tell us. Everything has changed and we must accept a "new normal." What does this "new normal" look like? It looks a lot like a dystopian horror film, where privacy is destroyed, property is subject to political whim, surveillance is to be accepted, medical treatments can be forced on people. Should we accept totalitarianism as our "new normal"? Plus in today's program: the real story of Houston's "round two hospital crisis."
Tens of thousands marched in a joint BLM/'Pride' rally over the weekend in Chicago (and elsewhere) with the blessing of the same officials who are threatening churches, forcing face masks, and ripping liquor licenses from bars that won't shut their doors (again). Claiming that "cases" are skyrocketing, officials from Texas and across the country are trying to return us to devastating lockdown. But why aren't they talking about the falling death rate?
