Ron Paul Liberty Report

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

Railing against "greed," the multi-millionaire "public servant" power couple Obamas rolled into Chicago last night to warn against and the "dangerous" Donald Trump. Will they push America over to Kamala? Also today...Russians protest US mercenaries and media...inside Russia!

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? Also today, the "green" movement is killing beautiful beaches as the fake EV market collapses...

Weekly Update --- Tyranny in the UK – Can it Happen Here? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

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!

Weekly Update --- America Reaches A Sad Milestone by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Years of relentless lies - from "Russiagate" to "we fixed the economy" - have finally come home to roost in this morning's worldwide market crash. Dr. Paul analyzes what happened and what we can expect to happen in the short-term. Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237

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?
