RPI Director Daniel McAdams is back with Jay Taylor discussing the disasters of US foreign policy -- from Libya to Iraq to Ukraine. Being interested in facts and not supporting any government makes us suspect according to the interventionists. Pravda of today is in...
Tuesday the US government admitted it had been bluffing about its certainty that Russia was behind the downing of Malaysian Air Flight MH-17 over Ukraine. This dramatic turn of events started with State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf claiming Monday that the State...
What a bizarre article about Dr. Paul from the National Journal! Beginning from the title, the piece read like something from a high school newspaper. Does a publication playing the role of the grown-up voice on Capitol Hill really publish a piece titled "Ron Paul Is...
This week marked a milestone for the Ron Paul Institute's Facebook page. For the first time in our short 15 months of existence we chalked up one million people reached over a one week period! This is most certainly due to the several crises in the world today,...
RPI Director Daniel McAdams was on the Laura Ingraham Show this past week with guest host the great Charles Goyette. Daniel and Charles discussed the real costs of the US interventionist foreign policy. What will be the economic fallout of the new round of US...
The real reason we have this mess on the border — with thousands of kids streaming over — says Ron Paul, is foolish government policies on both sides of the border. Most of the problem from the US side, he says, stems from the US drug war and the violent gangs it...
What's going on with Eric Cantor and Israel? RPI's Daniel McAdams is back with Jay Taylor this week to discuss the violence in Gaza and Israel's American cheerleaders, NATO's planned propaganda blitz and its morph into a USSR-like entity. Also Brzezinski's plan for...

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) may have lost his primary to a relatively unknown challenger, but that does not mean he is going quietly into that good night. His long track record of ramming through the House the most one-sided resolutions praising the...

Global chessboard enthusiast Zbigniew Brzezinski has a plan for Ukraine. In a recent speech to the Woodrow Wilson Center, excerpted by the Atlantic Council, he argues forcefully in favor of the United States providing the Ukrainian military far more weapons. Under the...
Neocons appear to actually be emboldened by their failures, using disasters they have wrought as excuses to double-down on faulty analysis, bad advice, a twisted worldview. What happened as the great Iraq liberation, the glorious mythology of the 2007 "surge," the...
RPI Director Daniel McAdams is back on the Scott Horton Show to discuss the latest events in Ukraine, which continues to burn as much attention focuses on the implosion of Iraq. The protests in Kiev were supposed to be against the oligarchic misrule of Ukraine, yet...
Thanks to the always astute MoA blog for pointing out that for the estimated $72 billion per year the US government spends on intelligence gathering (the actual figure is classified and probably much higher), the US government is flying blind on what is happening in...
RPI Director Daniel McAdams is on the Scott Horton Show this week, discussing what is going on in Ukraine while everyone is paying attention to the disintegration of Iraq. The shelling of Slavyansk continues while the danger of US-sanctioned ethnic cleansing of...
