For The Children? Trump’s Venezuela Blockade Multiplies The Misery

President Trump announced a full US embargo of Venezuela, with punishment for anyone of any nationality who “supports” the Maduro government. US sanctions are said to have been responsible for 40,000 deaths in the past two years. How many more will die from this “humanitarian” move? What gives Trump – or anyone – the moral authority to make such a move? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

China Crisis: New US Missiles To Asia

One day after the Trump Administration announced it was getting out of the Reagan-era INF treaty, the new Pentagon chief said US would be sending missiles once banned by that treaty to Asia. Targeting China. Will an Asian arms race be stabilizing or destabilizing? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

Combatting Terrorism? US AFRICOM Is Making Terrorism WORSE!

Launched in 2007 as a force for good in Africa to fight terrorism and improve the humanitarian situation, the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) has by all measure failed in its mission despite spending billions. According to a recent Pentagon study, terrorism is actually increasing where AFRICOM is operating. Isn’t it time to end this boondoggle? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

Is Biden Worse Than Pompeo On North Korea?

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has repeatedly slammed President Trump over his ongoing diplomatic outreach to North Korea, claiming that the move just gives legitimacy to a dictator. He has been joined by several other Democratic candidates in this attack. Why are the Democrats trying to out-neocon even neocons like Pompeo when it comes to diplomacy versus war?

‘Obliteration’ – Trump Threatens Iran With Nuclear Strike

President Trump has threatened to “obliterate” parts of Iran if “anything American” is attacked by the country. This, combined with “all options on the table” clearly suggests the use of nuclear weapons. In an article in today’s American Conservative, former US Marine and nuclear weapons inspector Scott Ritter shows how last year’s US Nuclear Posture Review outlines scenarios that make this nightmare a possibility.

Is Today’s Mueller Testimony The End…Or The Beginning Of Impeachment?

Today’s appearance of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller before the House Judiciary Committee to discuss his report on Trump Campaign collusion with the Russian government may be a last ditch effort to make the election all about impeachment proceedings against the president. Will this strategy fall flat on its face? Is Mueller falling flat on his face? Russiagate? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

No More Wikileaks! Intelligence Authorization Bill Criminalizes Whistleblowers And Reporters

This year’s Intelligence Authorization bill contains language drafted by the CIA itself designed to make it a criminal act to reveal the name of undercover agents whether stationed overseas or at home, whether working or retired. The measure is designed – in the CIA’s own words – to prevent the kind of transparency that was provided by Wikileaks. It is a war on the free press! We have the details in today’s Liberty Report:

US Pushing Allies To Send Warships Toward Iran

The latest neocon scheme is to push US allies to send warships to join a US-led mission to keep the Strait of Hormuz “free and clear” for shipping. In reality it is a trigger for war. Thus far the US has no takers for this clear escalation. Will Bolton’s brigades begin peeling away EU hold-outs? The US is sending troops to Saudi Arabia and building up a massive airbase. Meanwhile, Iran claims to have broken up a CIA spy ring in country. War drums beating. Watch today’s Liberty Report:

Will 500 Troops To Saudi Arabia Really Make Us Safer?

The media is reporting today that the US will send 500 troops to Saudi Arabia to confront the Iran “threat” to the region. Just over a decade ago the US pulled its troops out of Saudi Arabia after acknowledging what Bin Laden had said about his motivation for the 9/11 attack: US troops on Saudi soil. Is it really a good idea to put troops back in? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

Forever Wars! House Republicans Furious Over Iraq War Authorization Repeal

House Foreign Affairs Committee Ranking Member Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) told Fox News over the weekend that the repeal of the 2001 war authorization after 9/11 and the 2002 war authorization for Iraq would “illegalize” the entire war on terror. How does retaining permission to attack Iraq and Afghanistan permit the “war on terror”? Today in the Liberty Report:

Fake News? CNN Claims Iran Tried To Seize UK Tanker

Yesterday CNN was the sole source of an article accusing Iran’s Revolutionary Guard of trying to seize a UK tanker in the Persian Gulf. Though CNN claimed there was video of the attempt, none has surfaced. Iran strongly denies any such attempt. Is this another psy-op to drum up support for a US attack on Iran? Bonus topic: A new Pew Poll shows that US military members do not believe recent wars have been “worth it.” Maybe we should listen to them. Watch today’s Liberty Report:
