Every time US officials try to lecture foreign leaders about what their social policies should be, resentment is created. Far from following the dictates of Washington, often the endless hectoring turns foreign leaders and citizens against the US. Even if the policies urged on by Washington were sound, they would be rejected due to this resentment. Today’s Liberty Report takes a look at President Obama’s recent trip to Kenya, where he lectured the president on homosexuality and women’s issues. Also we step back to look at just why it is that this approach is counterproductive from a pragmatic standpoint:

According to recent press reports, the US and Turkey have agreed to carve out a piece of Syria for a “no-fly” zone where the Syrian government cannot bomb ISIS or the US-backed insurgents. Meanwhile, Turkey has been bombing the Kurds in the region, who are known as the real “boots on the ground” against ISIS. A “no-fly” zone in Syria will require a massive US bombing campaign against the Syrian government — the kind of bombing that was soundly rejected by the American people in 2013. Will they get away with it this time? Tune in to the Ron Paul Liberty Report for the scoop:

Will Congress be swayed (or threatened) enough by the neocons and AIPAC to defeat the Iran agreement? Will US media propaganda turn the current majority in favor of the agreement to a majority opposed? What happens if the US backs out of the deal? Will the other major powers facing increased economic trade with Iran follow the US back down the path of sanctions? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

From “humanitarian” interventions to regulating what we put in our bodies, the “good intentions” of governments often produce the most horrific results. Today’s Liberty Report looks at the worst of tyrannies — those constructed for your own good:

What are the long-term consequences of recent revelations that the NSA has for decades spied on the top leaders of the closest US allies? While neither German Chancellor Merkel nor French President Hollande have been particularly outwardly annoyed at the revelations, what will French and German citizens feel about such an affront to national pride? And what of US spying on French industry — was it stealing technology to help well-connected US firms? More on this today in the Ron Paul Liberty Report:

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 wisdom about governments and war. And more:

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 re-write the ethics rules to allow for such horrific behavior. Today the Ron Paul Liberty Report takes a look at what happens when doctors serve the state instead of their patients:

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 baby in its crib. What does Ron Paul think about the deal? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report to find out:

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 Ron Paul in today’s Liberty Report. We discriminate in literally every action we take. The real issue is one of property rights, not guns or wedding cakes.

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 it clear that these countries have no intention of attacking the United States. Confused? Tune in to the Ron Paul Liberty Report:

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 increase with or without those 40,000 troops and with or without the “sequester.” The US is spending itself into bankruptcy. Today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report on the false propaganda of a shrinking military:

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.
