Looking at the banners in the massive Egyptian protests last week, we saw many anti-American slogans. Likewise, the Muslim Brotherhood-led government that was deposed by the military last week was very critical of what it saw as US support for the coup. Why is it that...

US Egypt Policies Don't Pass the Laugh Test
by Ron Paul | Jul 4, 2013 | The Liberty Report
A military coup in Egypt yesterday resulted in the removal and imprisonment of the elected president, Mohamed Morsi, a closure of media outlets sympathetic to him, the house arrest of his advisors, and the suspension of the constitution. The military that overthrew...
If You Like the Surveillance State, You'll Love E-Verify
by Ron Paul | Jul 1, 2013 | The Liberty Report
From massive NSA spying, to IRS targeting of the administration's political opponents, to collection and sharing of our health care information as part of Obamacare, it seems every day we learn of another assault on our privacy. Sadly, this week the Senate took...
The Death of Daniel Somers
by Ron Paul | Jun 24, 2013 | The Liberty Report
I am reading the heartbreaking suicide note of Daniel Somers, a US combat veteran who spent several years fighting in Iraq. Mr. Somers was only 30 years old when he took his own life, after being tormented by the horrific memories of what he experienced in Iraq. He...
What We Have Learned From Afghanistan
by Ron Paul | Jun 23, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Last week the Taliban opened an office in Doha, Qatar with the US government’s blessing. They raised the Taliban flag at the opening ceremony and referred to Afghanistan as the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan"—the name they used when they were in charge before the US...
Nobody is Listening to Our Phone Calls?
by Ron Paul | Jun 21, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Today we learned from the Guardian newspaper that Federal judges and Attorney General Eric Holder signed off on an NSA request to make use of information it “inadvertently” collected on Americans without a warrant. According to the paper, the NSA was given permission...
It’s Obama’s Safari – But We’re the Ones Taken for a Ride!
by Ron Paul | Jun 17, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Remember the Sequester? Remember the Administration threatening the end of the world if the phony “cuts” (which were actually just decreases in future spending increases) came into effect? Remember the cuts to Air Traffic Controllers while we were told “good luck” on...
Obama’s Syria Policy Looks a Lot Like Bush’s Iraq Policy
by Ron Paul | Jun 16, 2013 | The Liberty Report
President Obama announced late last week that the US intelligence community had just determined that the Syrian government had used poison gas on a small scale, killing some 100 people in a civil conflict that has claimed an estimated 100,000 lives. Because of this...

Obama Signals Start of US War in Syria
by Ron Paul | Jun 14, 2013 | The Liberty Report
The Obama Administration’s sudden announcement last night that it has discovered the Syrian government used chemical weapons and thus crossed the “red line” is pretty unconvincing. The Administration provided no evidence, no new information, and no explanation of why...
Turkish Protests: A Backlash Against Interventionism?
by Ron Paul | Jun 12, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Foreign Policy magazine’s website featured an interesting article yesterday on the ongoing protests in Turkey. The protests have been covered quite a bit in the media over the past couple of weeks, as they spread throughout the country, were met with violence by the...
Government Spying: Should We Be Shocked?
by Ron Paul | Jun 9, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Last week we saw dramatic new evidence of illegal government surveillance of our telephone calls, and of the National Security Agency’s deep penetration into American companies such as Facebook and Microsoft to spy on us. The media seemed shocked. Many of us are not...
Iraq Collapse Shows Bankruptcy of Interventionism
by Ron Paul | Jun 2, 2013 | The Liberty Report
May was Iraq’s deadliest month in nearly five years, with more than 1,000 dead – both civilians and security personnel -- in a rash of bombings, shootings and other violence. As we read each day of new horrors in Iraq, it becomes more obvious that the US invasion...
The Real Meaning of President Obama’s National Security Speeches
by Ron Paul | May 25, 2013 | The Liberty Report
This past Thursday and Friday, President Obama delivered two speeches designed to outline his new thinking on national security and counter-terrorism. While much was made in the media of the president’s statements at the National Defense University and the US Naval...
What No One Wants to Hear About Benghazi
by Ron Paul | May 13, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Congressional hearings, White House damage control, endless op-eds, accusations, and defensive denials. Controversy over the events in Benghazi last September took center stage in Washington and elsewhere last week. However, the whole discussion is again more of a...
Liberty Was Also Attacked in Boston
by Ron Paul | Apr 28, 2013 | The Liberty Report
Forced lockdown of a city. Militarized police riding tanks in the streets. Door-to-door armed searches without warrant. Families thrown out of their homes at gunpoint to be searched without probable cause. Businesses forced to close. Transport shut down. These were...
Congress Exploits Our Fears to Take Our Liberty
by Ron Paul | Apr 22, 2013 | The Liberty Report
This week, as Americans were horrified by the attacks in Boston, both houses of Congress considered legislation undermining our liberty in the name of “safety.” Gun control continued to be the focus of the Senate, where an amendment expanding federal “background...
The Coming Non-Intervention Revolution
by Ron Paul | Apr 16, 2013 | The Liberty Report
As we see each new administration, regardless of claimed ideological or political differences, pursuing the same destructive policies abroad and trampling our civil liberties at home, we must now face the key issues of our time. The issues of war or peace, republic or...
