Today the US House of Representatives will take up two bills designed to head off war on Iran. Are the measures appropriate? Do they do as they are advertised? Should they be supported? Or is it more smoke and mirrors? Heavy legislative analysis in today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump rolled out his “deal of the century” for Israel/Palestine peace and as could be predicted it was dead on arrival as far as the Palestinian side was concerned. Was it designed to fail? Was it designed to boost Bibi? Is endless involvement in Israel/Palestine issues really in the US interest? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump dropped more bombs on Afghanistan last year than in any of the past ten years. Yet “victory” is further away than ever. Aside from the riches being reaped by the bombmakers, what are we achieving in this 19 year war? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

As anti-US protests raged across Baghdad, rockets were fired into the green zone with at least one hitting the US embassy complex. The neocons will surely blame Iran (again) and argue for a military escalation. Will this mean the hot war is back on the menu? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

One of the architects of the CIA’s post-9/11 torture program was in court this week to testify in the pre-trial proceedings of several Guantanamo detainees. His justification for designing and practicing some of the most inhuman practices on earth should give pause to Americans with a conscience. Do we really reject torture? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

Former OPCW inspector Ian Henderson testified to the UN Security Council this week that his team’s report on the April 2018 alleged gas attack in Douma, Syria, had been falsified at the orders of senior management and perhaps under pressure from the US government. The US mainstream media is silent. Watch today’s Liberty Report:

Yesterday’s Virginia pro-Second Amendment rally shocked the elites to their core. Propagandized by the mainstream media, they expected out-of-control white supremacists but found a peaceful group of all races and orientations.  More importantly, the local government nullification movement is growing like wildfire, with local authorities openly vowing they would not enforce gun laws passed in Richmond that they consider unconstitutional.

A new book on Trump by Washington Post writers, “A Very Stable Genius,” has tongues wagging and new accusations of the president’s “instability.” As usual, these politicized claims miss the target completely and also misunderstand the real war for Trump’s ear. The generals are out, the “realists” were never quite in, there is little “America first” in the president’s foreign policy, and, with reports that David Wurmser has the president’s ear on Iran, the neocons are creeping back in.

After a bizarre pause in the impeachment proceedings, House Speaker Pelosi has finally decided to send the House-passed articles of impeachment over to the Senate for trial. Constitutional duty…or political grandstanding? And are they missing the whole point on impeachment? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

The European partners of the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal have handed a big gift to the neocons and warmongers, announcing that they have trigged a mechanism within the agreement that will effectively kill the agreement in weeks. So say goodbye to peace and trade and hello to war with Iran. More in today’s Liberty Report:

After the Iraqi parliament vote to end US troop presence, the US is in no mood to discuss abiding by the wishes of the Iraqi government. When Prime Minister Mahdi called Pompeo to discuss terms for US withdrawal, the Trump Administration threatened to seize billions of Iraqi dollars held in the New York Federal Reserve Bank…and to again put Iraq under sanctions. 17 years of war and we’re back to square one.

Trump officials – including Trump himself today – have been steadily pulling back from initial claims after the January 3rd assassination of Iranian top general Soleimani that he was killed because of “imminent threats” of attack led by the Iranian. New evidence is emerging that the kill order had been given seven months ago and according to Israeli media, Netanyahu was directly involved in plotting the killing. Former CIA officer Phil Giraldi joins the Liberty Report to try and unpack the competing claims and whirlwind of lies surrounding the targeted killing. Watch today’s program:
