Bill Kristol is the epitome of the neocon mindset: cultivating a staid and urbane image while writing the most unhinged and mendacious claptrap. In his utterly predictable denunciation of the successful Iran nuclear talks, Kristol frames the issue in the crudest...
Ron Paul has always said that US foreign policy is incredibly simple: do what we say and we will send you money; disobey and we will bomb you. While there is (fortunately) little threat of the US dropping bombs on Israel over that country's hysterical opposition to...
On today's Liberty Report, Ron Paul sits down with co-host (and RPI Director) Daniel McAdams to explain his new book, Swords into Plowshares. Why did he write such personal book about war? What were his early memories of World War II? His grandmother's great words of...
A recent report commissioned by the American Psychological Association showed that several of its members surreptitiously assisted the Central Intelligence Agency in designing new forms of torture. Even the APA's person in charge of ethics was caught trying to...
We're with the Iranians because we are both fighting ISIS but we're against the Iranians because they are on the side of Assad. That is why RPI Chairman Ron Paul described our foreign policy as "schizophrenic" in a Newsmax debate on the Iran deal. On the Iran talks,...
With the extremist "Right Sector" militias beginning to foment unrest in western Ukraine, will US-backed president Poroshenko move against his most dedicated storm troopers or will they move against him? Ukraine is breaking apart and no amount of EU or US goodwill...
Does today's announcement that a deal was reached with Iran bode well for our peace and prosperity in the future? Not if the neocons get their way -- and they have only begun to fight. Look for them to pull out all stops in their manic determination to strangle this...
Next January it becomes legal in Texas to openly carry firearms in public places. The burger chain Whataburger has decided that it will not allow open carry of firearms in its restaurants. Is it OK for Whataburger to discriminate against its customers? Of course, says...
According to the newly released Military Strategy of the United States, 2015, the real threats are no longer the terrorism of non-state actors but rather Russia, China, Iran, and any other state that challenges US global hegemony. This even though the document makes...
Press reports that the US Army would cut 40,000 troops are meant to terrify the American people into demanding an increase in military spending - even though the US spends more than all developed countries combined. The truth is US military spending is going to...
President Obama told us yesterday that the US war against ISIS was going to last a very long time. While he said there was no military solution to the problem, he also ordered a increase in US bombing. Today Congress voted to send more military aid to Jordan. Obama's...
Greece's vote against the EU bailout offer raises as many questions as it answers. What happens next? We know the debt will not disappear. Eventually it will have to be liquidated and Greece will have to start over if it is ever going to be a "normal" country again....
Hillary oversaw US arms shipments to terrorists fighting in Libya and Syria according to Judge Napolitano. Why is no one interested in the story? Both parties support regime change. The half-billion dollar program to train "moderate" Syrian rebels is a disaster. Part...
Do the fires of liberty still burn in an America that revolted against the British crown in 1776? Perhaps the majority have opted for a new overlord, the omnipotent state and its accompanying American exceptionalism, but there remains, in the words of Samuel Adams, a...
California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law one of the nation's strongest mandatory vaccination laws. If a California resident does not agree to have her child jabbed some 48 times by school-age, the child cannot attend school. The exemption loopholes have been...
President Obama will officially restore full diplomatic relations with Cuba today, in what is one bright spot in his otherwise not very encouraging foreign policy. Talks with Iran are the other positive. But as always, the devil is in the details. State-to-state...
Nope, it's not a trick question. The number is zero. A year ago Congress granted a White House request for half a billion dollars to identify, train, and equip "moderate" Syrians to accomplish the dual US goal of defeating ISIS as well as overthrowing those fighting...
With their plans for regime change in Syria not working out as planned, the neocons are desperately looking around for another hare-brained scheme to sell. From recently floated trial balloons, it looks like they are looking to push a tactical alliance with al-Qaeda...
Is a color revolution underway in Armenia? The US and EU have long wanted to break Armenia from its free trade agreement with Russia and it looks like US-sponsored NGOs are behind the protests in the capital. Plus, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter urges Germany to...
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, a former prime minister of Norway, took the podium during last week's meeting of NATO defense ministers to hype the Russian threat to NATO while downplaying recent NATO military moves on Russia's border.While criticizing "a...
