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!
In this special episode we analyze the economy, with chief economist Phillip Patrick from The Birch Gold Group.
By Ron Paul
Just as the Harris/Walz campaign was looking for a boost from the content-free Democratic National Convention last week, real drama broke out that pulled the country’s attention back toward Republican candidate Donald Trump. Rumors had been swirling for days that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. might suspend his independent run for the White House and endorse Donald Trump and on Friday he did just that. In his powerful speech explaining the decision, RFK, Jr. made it clear that suspending his run was difficult, as was leaving a Democratic Party that has been almost synonymous with the name “Kennedy” for many decades. On both issues RFK, Jr. explained that he was guided by principles and values over party orientation and the fluff that has increasingly come to characterize American electoral politics. It seems the more “polarized” much of American society becomes over which political party they support, the more the rest of us continue to see less and less difference between the two when it comes to actual policy. Both parties support the warfare/welfare state. Both pursue policies leading to poverty and war instead of peace and prosperity. Both are deluded into believing that the Federal Reserve can effectively manage the economy while we amass unimaginable levels of debt. Americans are seeking authenticity and politicians who put principles above political parties and that is exactly what RFK, Jr. did last Friday. In his speech at the Trump rally, RFK served up severe criticisms of the Democrats for their embrace of endless war. He said: “Judging by the bellicose, belligerent speech last night in Chicago, we can assume that President Harris will be an enthusiastic advocate for this and other neocon military adventures. President Trump says he will reopen negotiations with President Putin and end the war overnight as soon as he becomes President. This alone would justify my support for his campaign.” It was a well-aimed blow at the Biden/Harris Administration, which pretends to be seeking peace while pouring gasoline on the numerous conflicts overseas. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed in her speech to the DNC that Vice President Harris is “working tirelessly” toward a ceasefire in Gaza literally as the Biden/Harris Administration announced another huge shipment of bombs to be used by the Israeli military to kill more Palestinians. What can we hope for in RFK, Jr.’s bold move? For one, we should hope that coming out in favor of principles instead of hollow party identification can reduce the power of political parties altogether. Already in the Republican Party we are seeing a “new guard” emerge that is ready to break with the tired neocon stranglehold on the party. So does RFK Jr.’s endorsement of Trump on principles rather than parties mean that we finally have a “peace ticket” to support? The short answer is “no,” we don’t have a peace ticket. Many of us who hoped that the first Trump presidency would be that peace ticket were disappointed to see the likes of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo litter the Administration. There is always the chance of a repeat of these mistakes. And neither Trump nor RFK seem reliably in favor of an end to the slaughter in Gaza. So no, this is not a “peace ticket.” But at least with what we have seen this past week with RFK and Trump, we get the feeling that peace is on the menu. It’s a start.
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?
