Trump’s National Security Advisor John Bolton was on the phone with Egypt’s intelligence chief trying to organize a Arab army to take over US duties occupying northeastern Syria. The Trump Administration’s big idea is to have the Saudis lead the occupation to “prevent ISIS 2.0 from emerging in the area.” That doesn’t make a whole lot of sense considering the fact that the Saudis were behind the creation of ISIS 1.0! As media arrives on the ground in Syria begins looking into US claims of a Syrian government gas attack in Douma, they are finding the US narrative does not match the facts on the ground. Congress thinks a new authorization for the use of military force might do the trick. All in all it seems the US has no idea why it remains in Syria. There is no policy but to continue doing what Obama started in 2011. Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

Independent investigative reporter Vanessa Beeley is on the ground in Syria reporting in the aftermath of the US/UK/France air strikes over the weekend.

Cooler Heads Prevailing On Syria? Let’s Hope!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 12, 2018 | The Liberty Report
While Defense Secretary Mattis says the Pentagon is “still looking” for evidence a chemical attack even took place in Syria last weekend, President Trump has seemingly backed off his Tweet yesterday threatening Russia with missiles. Meanwhile, despite a mainstream media attempted blackout of alternative voices a few are getting through and being heard. Former UK Ambassador to Syria was unequivocal in a recent BBC interview: the recent “chlorine attack” in Syria was staged. Do we have a glimmer of hope? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Trump’s Madness In His March To War
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 11, 2018 | The Liberty Report
President Trump this morning Tweeted a warning to Russia that US missiles were heading toward Syria (and Russians in Syria). The Russian ambassador to Lebanon reconfirmed in an interview that Russia would target not only incoming missiles but the sources of those incoming missiles. Today Syrian aircraft relocated to Russian bases in Syria and Russian military officers deployed to the Syrian parliament. If Trump goes ahead with a large-scale attack on Syria over an alleged chlorine attack on Syrian civilians the escalation may continue to the unimaginable. Will the US president at least wait until an investigation determines whether there even was an attack? And why are the Brits so eager to join in the attack? Something to do with the Skripal fiasco?

Will Cohen Raid Lead Trump To Attack Syria?
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 10, 2018 | The Liberty Report
Special Counsel Robert Mueller was supposed to be investigating whether the Trump Campaign colluded with the Russians to get Trump elected president. As predicted it’s gone far off the rails, with a FBI raid yesterday on the president’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen. The issue? Whether Trump had an affair some 11 years ago and paid hush money to the woman. As Trump finds himself increasingly hobbled by his own Justice Department, however, we can be sure that the neocons with whom he has surrounded himself are whispering in his ear what a jolly little war might do for his popularity. The USS Donald Cook is steaming toward a Russian naval base in Syria and the president is threatening to make Syrian president Assad “pay big” for an alleged chlorine gas attack that no one has yet proven even took place! Will the president’s “wag the dog” move blunder us into a major war with Russia and possibly China? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Another False Flag – Will Trump Escalate In Syria?
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 9, 2018 | The Liberty Report
After the pro-rebel White Helmets claimed over the weekend that Syria’s Assad has “again” gassed his own citizens, President Trump is threatening massive retaliation. Russia has stated that it would strike any source of incoming missiles into Syria. Will President Trump listen to his neocon advisors and ignore Russian warnings? Are we about to blunder into WWIII without even any evidence? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Trump: ‘Just Kidding. We’re Staying In Syria.’
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 5, 2018 | The Liberty Report
Just a week after President Trump told an Ohio audience that US troops would be removed from Syria “very soon” and brought back home “where they belong,” he has again changed his tune. After a neocon uprising in their various think tanks and journals and after a meeting with Defense Secretary Mattis, Trump did an about-face yesterday and grumbled that he’d keep them in for a while longer. Some say six months. Was Trump purposely misleading in Ohio, or is he really that pliable? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
A Pro-Life Libertarian Looks At Foreign Policy – With Guest Gary Heavin
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 4, 2018 | The Liberty Report
Our imperialist foreign policy is doing us nothing but harm. So says today’s Liberty Report guest Gary Heavin. And Heavin should know: he’s an extraordinarily successful international businessman and one of the most impactful philanthropists of our time. When Haiti was devastated by a hurricane, he fired up his own jets and personally went down to help. But he is no fan of the neocon foreign policy of bombs away on any country that does not heed Washington’s demands. And he is no fan of neocon meddling — which results in such idiocies as the creation of ISIS as a proxy army to depose Syrian president Assad. Join today’s very special episode with this incredibly clear-headed success story who has leveraged his good fortune to the betterment of others:
Trump Shifts On Syria, Russia – Neocons Go Nuts!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 3, 2018 | The Liberty Report
Over the past week, President Trump has twice emphatically stated that he intends to remove US troops from Syria and bring them home “where they belong.” He also defied his advisors by congratulating Russian President Vladimir Putin on his election victory and suggested a summit meeting at the White House. The neocons have spent the last week furiously attacking these two moves, accusing him of undermining the policies of his advisors. Strangely, they don’t seem to remember that it is the elected president who makes foreign policy, not his/her advisors. Will Trump actually defy the neocons and follow through with these two policy shifts…or will he flip-flop? Join us for today’s Liberty Report:
Arms Sales Champion…USA!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 2, 2018 | The Liberty Report
The US is the world’s leader in arms sales overseas and has been for a quarter of a century. President Trump is only following in the footsteps of his predecessors in pushing US weapons overseas. He claims it’s about jobs. But what are the costs? What are the moral costs? Economic costs? Security costs? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Non-Interventionism: America’s Original Foreign Policy
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 29, 2018 | The Liberty Report
We are facing a presidential “war cabinet” more aggressive than any in history. John Bolton, “Mad Dog” Mattis, Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley, “Bloody” Gina Haspel, and more. If we are not able to turn this ship around and return to a non-interventionist foreign policy, we may soon find that there is nothing left to preserve or conserve. What is one of the single most important and most effective ways of challenging the warfare state and its seeming monopoly over the mainstream media? It’s actually quite easy: we can get together, discuss, join forces, listen to speakers, network. As Jacob Hornberger says in today’s Liberty Report, that is the one action that totalitarian countries will NOT tolerate: allowing the dissenters to gather peacefully and oppose their policies. So let’s do just that next month at our South Carolina conference! – while we still can! Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
F-35 Boondoggle: More Military Spending Is Not More Security
by Daniel McAdams | Mar 28, 2018 | The Liberty Report
President Trump’s huge military spending increase is based on a false premise: that more money means more security. If anything, the debacle of the F-35 fighter should demonstrate that massive military spending with no real purpose not only does not deliver more security but in fact undermines our security. A bigger military budget does not make us safer. It makes defense contractors and the revolving-door Pentagon officials much richer while emboldening the kinds of interventionist foreign policy that actually makes us more hated and thus vulnerable to attack.
