I recently proposed that the liberty movement capitalize on Brexit with “Fed-exit”: a campaign to “secede" from the Federal Reserve. Fed-exit could be accomplished with a few simple policy changes. Passing Audit the Fed is a good first step toward Fed-exit. Contrary...

Don’t Reform the Fed, Fed-Exit!
by Ron Paul | Jul 17, 2016 | Featured Articles
Opponents of a central bank should take advantage of the post-Brexit vote revival of secessionist sentiments to promote a secession from central banking, or “Fed-exit.” Ending the Federal Reserve's monopoly on money is the key to restoring and maintaining our liberty...
Fool’s Errand: NATO Pledges Four More Years of War in Afghanistan
by Ron Paul | Jul 11, 2016 | Featured Articles
The longest war in US history just got even longer. As NATO wrapped up its 2016 Warsaw Summit, the organization agreed to continue funding Afghan security forces through the year 2020. Of course with all that funding comes US and NATO troops, and thousands of...
On July 4th Demand Freedom, Don’t Celebrate The State
by Ron Paul | Jul 4, 2016 | Featured Articles
As we gather with family and friends to celebrate the July 4th holiday we should remember that we are not celebrating the state, but rather commemorating an act of secession from an oppressive government. We are celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of...
After ‘Brexit,’ Can We Exit a Few Things Too?
by Ron Paul | Jun 27, 2016 | Featured Articles
Last week’s UK vote to leave the EU may have come as a shock to many, but the sentiment that led British voters to reject rule from Brussels is nothing unique. In fact it is growing sentiment worldwide. Frustration with politics as usual, with political parties that...
Orlando: The New 9/11?
by Ron Paul | Jun 20, 2016 | Featured Articles
Last week America was rocked by the cold-blooded murder of 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Unlike the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Orlando shooter appears to be a lone gunman who, while claiming allegiance to ISIS, was not...
Fascism: A Bipartisan Affliction
by Ron Paul | Jun 13, 2016 | Featured Articles
If neoconservatives and progressives truly understood fascism, they would stop using the word as a smear term. That is because both groups, along with most political figures and commentators, embrace fascist ideas and policies. Fascism’s distinguishing characteristic...
The Keynesians Stole The Jobs
by Ron Paul | Jun 6, 2016 | Featured Articles
Late last week the markets were shocked by a surprisingly bad May jobs report – the worst monthly report in nearly six years. The experts expected the US economy to add 160,000 jobs in May, but it turns out only 38,000 jobs were added. And to make matters worse,...
Government Can’t Help; It Can Only Hurt
by Ron Paul | May 29, 2016 | Featured Articles
Three recent stories regarding three government agencies — the IRS, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) — show why we should oppose big government for practical, as well as philosophical, reasons. In recent...
Much Ado About Restrooms
by Ron Paul | May 23, 2016 | Featured Articles
Debates over the US government’s foreign and economic policies have recently taken a backseat to the debate over what bathroom transgender individuals should use. The two sides of the debate both believe that government has the legitimate authority to tell private...
Defense Bill Coming This Week: A Boost for War and Tyranny
by Ron Paul | May 15, 2016 | Featured Articles
For many of us concerned with liberty, the letters “NDAA” have come to symbolize Washington’s ongoing effort to undermine the US Constitution in the pursuit of constant war overseas. It was the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2012 that introduced into...
What Happened to the Revolution?
by Ron Paul | May 9, 2016 | Featured Articles
In a recent interview I was asked why Bernie Sanders, a self-described “democratic socialist” had seemingly attracted so much support among young people. In fact polls suggest Sanders is the most popular candidate among people aged 18-29, and 51 percent of that same...
Drafting Women Means Equality in Slavery
by Ron Paul | May 2, 2016 | Featured Articles
Last week the House Armed Services Committee approved an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act requiring women to register with Selective Service. This means that if Congress ever brings back the draft, women will be forcibly sent to war. The amendment...
Yes, Prince Faisal, We Need to ‘Recalibrate’ Our Relationship
by Ron Paul | Apr 25, 2016 | Featured Articles
For decades the US and Saudi Arabia have shared a peculiar relationship: the Saudis sell relatively cheap oil to the United States for which they accept our fiat currency. They then recycle those paper dollars into the US military-industrial complex through the...
What Did Fed Chairman Yellen Tell Obama?
by Ron Paul | Apr 18, 2016 | Featured Articles
This week, President Obama and Vice President Biden held a hastily arranged secret meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen. According to the one paragraph statement released by the White House following the meeting, Yellen, Obama, and Biden simply...
As Ukraine Collapses, Europeans Tire of US Interventions
by Ron Paul | Apr 11, 2016 | Featured Articles
On Sunday Ukrainian prime minister Yatsenyuk resigned, just four days after the Dutch voted against Ukraine joining the European Union. Taken together, these two events are clear signals that the US-backed coup in Ukraine has not given that country freedom and...
Vietnam War at 50: Have We Learned Nothing?
by Ron Paul | Apr 4, 2016 | Featured Articles
Last week Defense Secretary Ashton Carter laid a wreath at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington in commemoration of the "50th anniversary" of that war. The date is confusing, as the war started earlier and ended far later than 1966. But the Vietnam War at 50...
A European PATRIOT Act Will Not Keep People Safe
by Ron Paul | Mar 28, 2016 | Featured Articles
It was not long after last week’s horrifying bombings in Brussels that the so-called security experts were out warning that Europeans must give up more of their liberty so government can keep them secure from terrorism. I guess people are not supposed to notice that...
Beltway Conservative Budget Plans Are Big Spending and Anti-Liberty
by Ron Paul | Mar 20, 2016 | Featured Articles
According to a recent poll, 73 percent of all Americans oppose increases in federal spending. Since this anti-government spending sentiment is a major reason Republicans control the House and Senate, one would expect the Republican Congress to hold the line on, or...
Loretta Lynch and the Government War on Free Speech
by Ron Paul | Mar 13, 2016 | Featured Articles
During her appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, Attorney General Loretta Lynch admitted that she asked the FBI to examine whether the federal government should take legal action against so-called climate change deniers. Attorney General Lynch is...
