Ever since 1913, the United States of America has been captive to an unconstitutional and immoral institution known as the Federal Reserve. The U.S. government is forbidden from counterfeiting money, so they outsourced it to a "private" cartel of banks. This is similar to how the government outsources censorship to "private" social media companies. Ever since 1913, the Fed has destroyed the value of the dollar, along with the U.S. economy; and it has financed endless wars and debts that cannot be honored. America can't the "land of the free" as long as there's a Federal Reserve.
After just four weeks in office, the head of the CDC is out, having clashed with RFK on the issue of childhood vaccines and forcing the Covid shot on kids. Are we seeing a shift back to parent/doctor control of children's health? Also today, more bad opinion numbers for Israel.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard continues to uncover the machinations of the Intelligence Community, including its role in the Russiagate hoax and even in the 2020 election. Is she our best hope to defeat the deep state? Also today: the federal government continues to dip its toes into the private sector, with talk of more "investments" in the military industry and even a takeover of Union Station. What happened to the free market?
President Trump signed an executive order yesterday that he claims will send those who burn US flags to jail for a year without early release. But the devil is always in the details. Also today, a new poll shows how far Israel has fallen in US public opinion.
By Ron Paul
After four years of unnecessarily confrontational foreign policy under President Biden, Americans elected Donald Trump in part for his promise to put America first at home and overseas. He promised a war-weary America that he would start no new wars and would get us out of the existing ones. Eight months into his second Administration it appears his promise remains to be fulfilled, as his approval rating continues to slip. On Ukraine, President Trump wisely observed coming into office that the conflict is “Joe Biden’s war” not his own. Unfortunately he could not resist the temptation to get involved in the conflict, even under the guise of “peacemaker.” I’ve often said that getting out of conflicts overseas is not that complicated: we should just come home. Even when there are no troops involved, “just come home” means disengage from the conflict. But President Trump wants to play referee in the war while arming and supporting one side. Is it any wonder he is making no progress in ending the war? Likewise with Israel and Gaza, Trump’s promise to put America first has faltered. President Biden put Americans on the hook for additional billions of dollars to support Israel’s actions in Gaza without even a word about the slaughter and destruction. As more Americans become disgusted by Israel’s obliteration of the property and population of that tiny strip of land, Trump shows no signs of shifting from Biden’s approach. More money and more weapons are sent as starvation claims more and more children each day. Trump has reportedly remarked to a donor that his own base is turning against him because of his Israel policy. Yet he refuses to alter course and “just come home.” Trump has even returned to the failed Latin America policy of his first Administration, in last week’s move toward a military confrontation with oil-rich Venezuela. Trump sent two warships and 4,000 US troops to the waters near Venezuela under the highly suspect accusation that the country’s president is actually head of an international drug cartel. He should have learned from the almost comical recognition of Juan Guaido as the real president of Venezuela in his first term that meddling in that country is not in America’s interest. It seems the neocons around him, including warhawk Marco Rubio, are sucking him into another unnecessary conflict. Add in Trump’s military attacks on Yemen and Iran and the balance sheet thus far does not point to an “America first” foreign policy. There is still time for President Trump to change course and fulfill his promises to the American people. Put Ukraine and Russia on notice that from this point the US is withdrawing from any role in the conflict. Let the Europeans work it out if they feel it is in their interest. Getting us out of NATO is also a good idea. End US financial and military support for an Israel that cannot seem to get along with its neighbors. Perhaps without the US backstopping Israel’s warmongering, the country and its leadership would start to reflect on the wisdom of starting wars with multiple countries in its neighborhood. Stop trying to overthrow Venezuela’s Maduro and everyone else the neocons have placed on the “hit list.” End all sanctions and open up trade instead. Maduro’s failed socialist economic policies will be his undoing, not American sanctions or saber-rattling. America first above all means “just come home.” It’s that simple.
There is a word to describe the Trump Administration's acquisition of a ten percent stake in the chip maker Intel, and it's not "communism." Merging the "private" sector with the state has been attempted in the past and it never ends well. Also today, what Vance missed on the Ukraine war.
A leaked Israeli official database reveals the horrific truth about the genocide in Gaza: Far from a war on Hamas, Israel has declared a war on civilians, killing nearly nine non-combatants for every one militant. Details were revealed in an Israeli news publication and they confirm the greatest fears of those who care about humanity. Also today: in Ukraine, Zelensky and the EU play the "security guarantees" shell game.
Again breaking the "rules" in Washington, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has announced plans to reduce the size of her ODNI staff by nearly half. If only the rest of Washington would follow her lead! Also today: the Pentagon announced another $3.5 billion in weapons to Israel. How many more children will they kill with our money?
President Trump's foreign policy is turning out to be just as militaristic and interventionist as his predecessors. Promising "America first," his saber-rattling from Venezuela to Ukraine and blind support for Israel are anything but.
Washington’s appetite for power is growing—and the results are dangerous. From unilateral tariffs that punish American families, to endless wars launched without congressional approval, to the steady march toward authoritarian “clean-ups” in D.C., liberty is under assault. In this episode, we break down how economic meddling, foreign entanglements, and unchecked executive power are eroding the Constitution and concentrating authority where it doesn’t belong.
