Senator Lindsay Graham kills me. The hawkish Republican from South Carolina isn’t exactly standing up for limited government. His latest oration, on the presidential stump in Iowa, warned Americans far and wide that, were he sitting in the White House with his finger poised above The Button and “you’re thinking about joining al-Qaeda or ISIL [Islamic State] — anybody thinking about that? — I’m not gonna call a judge.” Adding mucho macho-flash: “I’m gonna call a drone and we will kill you.” Like you, it never crossed my mind to join either the Islamic State or al-Qaeda. So, a big “meh,” eh? Neh. The attacks on civil liberties, ...

Seymour Hersh’s report on the killing of Osama bin Laden makes Americans wonder whether their government is lying to them about other events, Ron Paul and Daniel McAdams stressed. Some influential US policy-makers have rushed to dismiss the report of American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh who published new relevations on the death of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, due to the fact that Hersh is challenging the government explanation of what happened, emphasized Ron Paul, a former Republican congressman and two-time US presidential candidate. “I think the goal is mostly to discredit him [Seymour Hersh] and he is not an easy person to discredit because he is ...

House Votes to End Spy Agencies' Bulk Collection of Phone Data Wednesday, 13 May 2015 07:03 PM The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill on Wednesday that would end spy agencies' bulk collection of Americans' telephone data, setting up a potential showdown with the U.S. Senate over the program, which expires on June 1. The House voted 338-88 for the USA Freedom Act, which would end the bulk collection and instead give intelligence agencies access to telephone data and other records only when a court finds there is reasonable suspicion about a link to international terrorism. The strong support in the House by both Democrats and Republicans could increase pressure on ...
Are We a Nation of Wimps?

We now live in a society where safety and security are to be sought at all costs. The sacrifice of liberty is not a concern for most Americans today. This is not something new and it has been characteristic of most people throughout history but it has gotten especially bad in America since 9/11. In addition many Americans have become deeply worried as a consequence of the economic crisis that started in 2008. They have lost confidence in their future financial security but continue to deny our nation’s bankruptcy. This has prompted many to opt for dependency on government even if it requires the use of force to get what they want to ameliorate their fears. Rather than having ...

Sputnik... CAIRO (Sputnik) — Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh for the first time confirmed Sunday his alliance with the Houthi militants, also known as Ansar Allah (Supporters of God) religious tribal group. Earlier in the day, the coalition aircraft conducted several airstrikes on Saleh's house in the capital Sanaa. Several people have reportedly died, while Saleh and members of his family were not injured. "Earlier I was not an ally of Ansar Allah, but today I declare that the Yemeni people will be an ally of anyone who protects national interests in the face of the Saudi aggression," Saleh said Sunday in an address to the nation broadcasted by the Al Yemen ...

Shopping With Cash Now Illegal?

Cash is supposed to be the one thing you can use anywhere, anytime. No questions asked. But that’s not the case anymore. At least not in Louisiana. With almost no coverage in the mainstream press, the Louisiana State Senate quietly passed House Bill 195 effectively banning citizens from shopping with cash during all second-hand transactions. (Places like garage sales, antique stores, flea markets, or church fundraisers). A Louisiana State Representative who co-authored the bill reportedly claims it targets criminals. But honest, law-abiding citizens around the country have much bigger concerns… They’re worried that “big government” wants to see where every ...

Obama has been the country’s biggest divider on race Posted by: Jon Dougherty May 6, 2015 •Since his first weeks in office, President Obama set the stage to use race to divide, not unite, the country So much for the election of America’s first African-American president serving as a seminal event in our history. Barack Obama’s ascendency to the Oval Office was supposed to be a defining moment when, finally, after hundreds of years’ worth of racial tension and animosity, we would realize our founding vision of a colorblind society that was truly equal in all measures. But alas, it was not to be. And much of the blame can be laid at the feet ...

Carson, the only African-American in the race, spoke in front of hundreds of people at Detroit Music Hall, a few miles from a high school that bears his name. A choir singing the chorus from Eminem's "Lose Yourself" set the stage. He told supporters that he's not anti-government ...

The bellicose and highly politicized commentary of General Philip Breedlove regarding Ukraine is dangerous proof of the consequences of a breakdown of the division between civilian government and the military, says Daniel McAdams of the Ron Paul Institute. US General Philip Breedlove, who serves as the Commander of US Command Europe, has made a series of loud, bellicose pronouncements regarding what NATO should be doing in Ukraine, including statements that the US should provide offensive weaponry, claims that independence supporters are commanded by the Russian army, and commentary that no tools available to the US should be off the table if it serves US interests. Daniel McAdams, ...
USA FREEDOM Act: Just Another Name for Lost Liberty

Apologists for the National Security Agency (NSA) point to the arrest of David Coleman Headley as an example of how warrantless mass surveillance is necessary to catch terrorists. Headley played a major role in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attack that killed 166 people. While few would argue that bringing someone like Headley to justice is not a good thing, Headley’s case in no way justifies mass surveillance. For one thing, there is no “terrorist” exception in the Fourth Amendment. Saying a good end (capturing terrorists) justifies a bad means (mass surveillance) gives the government a blank check to violate our liberties. Even if the Headley case somehow justified ...
How Client Governments Scam the U.S.

The Wall Street Journal has more details on the administration’s desperate bid to “reassure” the Gulf Arab states: Leading Persian Gulf states want major new weapons systems and security guarantees from the White House in exchange for backing a nuclear agreement with Iran, according to U.S. and Arab officials. I don’t doubt that these governments want these things, and they are probably telling the administration that this is the price of their support for a nuclear deal, but there’s no reason why the U.S. should view this as an “exchange” in the first place. The “exchange” being offered here is that the U.S. gives its client things so that ...
The Administration’s Desperate Bid to “Reassure” Bad Clients

The administration is desperately trying to “reassure” authoritarian clients in the Gulf, and all of its proposed ideas for doing so as awful. This is the worst of the possible options: But instead of a full-fledged security treaty — like the one the United States has with Japan ensuring that America will come to Japan’s defense — the administration is discussing offering a looser, less-binding defense pact. In the deal envisioned, American officials would put in writing, but not send to Congress, language agreeing to the defense of Arab allies if they come under attack from outside forces. So the U.S. is entertaining possibly extending security guarantees to ...
Nixon and the My Lai massacre coverup

Even before Watergate brought down his presidency, Richard Nixon was the prime mover in another illegal action that could have been grounds for impeachment. It is now clear, after extensive research, that Nixon initiated the campaign to sabotage the My Lai massacre trials so no American soldier involved in the killings would be convicted of war crimes. Working with the president in this campaign were his chief of staff, H.R. “Bob” Haldeman; one of his top propagandists, congressional liaison Franklyn “Lyn” Nofziger; and two of the leaders of the House Armed Services Committee, congressmen L. Mendel Rivers (D-SC) and F. Edward Hebert (D- La.). The smoking gun is a ...

George W. Bush Bashes Obama on Middle East Policy Sunday, 26 Apr 2015 10:01 PM By Josh Rogin In a closed-door meeting with Jewish Donors Saturday night, former President George W. Bush delivered his harshest public criticisms to date against his successor on foreign policy, saying that President Barack Obama is being naïve about Iran and the pending nuclear deal and losing the war against the Islamic State. One attendee at the Republican Jewish Coalition session, held at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas with owner Sheldon Adelson in attendance, transcribed large portions of Bush's remarks. The former president, who rarely ever criticizes Obama in public, at first remarked ...

Rubio announced the day after Hillary Clinton released her announcement video for the Democratic candidacy. Speaking at Freedom Tower in Miami, Rubio said: Just yesterday, a leader from yesterday began a campaign for president by promising to take us back to… yesterday. But yesterday ...

Former presidential candidate and Texas congressman Ron Paul (R) is criticizing President Obama for the “targeted assassination” of Americans in al Qaeda. While Obama apologized Thursday for airstrikes that killed two hostages, American Warren Weinstein and Italian Giovanni Lo Porto, Paul said the media should be paying more attention to the two American terrorism suspects who were killed. “There were other people killed, but you won't read about it in the media I’m quite sure because they were two Americans who had joined al-Qaeda, so they are automatically very bad people,” he said during the “Ron Paul Liberty Report,” which was posted to ...

As a kid growing up, did you ever think you’d live under a government that had the omnipotent power to assassinate you and every other American citizen? If you heard about some communist regime or other totalitarian government wielding the omnipotent power to assassinate its own citizens, you wouldn’t be surprised. But I’ll bet that the vast majority of Americans never thought they would end up living under a governmental structure that had that sort of power over the citizenry. That’s certainly not the type of governmental structure that the Framers brought into existence with the Constitution. The federal governmental structure that the Constitution brought into ...

His father’s Cold War rhetoric shows how to present peace to Republicans. Since his election to the Senate in 2010 it’s barely been an exaggeration to say that the Republican foreign-policy debate has been Rand Paul versus everyone else. While he has some likeminded colleagues, especially in the House, he is the single figure most associated with a break from the GOP’s Bush-Cheney national- security legacy. The debate was kicked off by his father, former Texas congressman and two-time GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul. Many hoped that the son would expand the electoral base for what his father started. In the early stages of his own 2016 presidential campaign, however, ...

“What the government is good at is collecting taxes, taking away your freedoms and killing people. It’s not good at much else.”—Author Tom Clancy The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet no matter who wins this next presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters, public and private. Indeed, as I point out in my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, it really doesn’t ...
