Violent unrest in Iraq over the past several weeks have claimed more than 100 lives and left thousands wounded. With a devastated economy, even 16 years after its “liberation” by the US, and with corruption rampant, it’s little surprise that people are taking to the streets. But are there other factors involved in this unrest? Is the US trying to overthrow its “ally” in Baghdad? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

No sooner did President Trump Tweet his determination to remove US troops from the “endless” war in Syria than the entire Washington Beltway had a total breakdown. From Mitch McConnell to Ilhan Omar the cry was identical: “How dare you! How dare you bring US troops home!” Will the President cave in to his enemies in Washington and the media? Or will he keep his promises and fulfill the wishes of a majority of Republicans? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump has indicated that he will fulfill one of his central campaign promises – to get the US out of the endless wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. He has directed US troops to begin withdrawing from parts of northeast Syria in advance of an expected Turkish incursion into the region. Neocons screech that this will mean a comeback for ISIS and that abandoning the Kurds is treachery. They want to continue the “successful” Obama policy of eight years.

No wonder the Democrats wanted a really fast House impeachment vote. As more information comes out about the “whistleblower” and the role of House Democratic leadership to husband the gossip into a complaint – and from there to impeachment – the more it looks like another Steele Dossier. Will this farce blow up in their faces, or will their allies in the mainstream media be capable of keeping any counter-evidence from the screens of mainstream media watching America?

Turkey’s Erdogan has again promised to invade Syria and establish a “safe zone” extending 20 miles into Syrian territory along 300 miles of Syria/Turkey border. What will happen to the US-backed Kurds, who Erdogan calls “terrorists,” that live in that area? What about US military installations that may exist in the “safe zone”? For that matter, what will Putin and Rouhani have to say about Erdogan’s threats? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

Iraq has formally accused Israel of the spate of attacks on its territory over the past several weeks. Most recently, Israeli drones are said to have taken off from a US-controlled base in the Kurdish region of Syria and attacked Iraqi territory. Again. Iraq is warning of war while the US again pursues an incoherent and counterproductive policy. Will the US continue to back Israeli aggression in the region? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

The Saudi military appears to have suffered an historic defeat with a Houthi trap capturing up to three Saudi brigades. Houthis claim 500 Saudi fighters killed and 2,000 Saudi fighters captured. Houthi footage appears to show Saudi jets bombing long lines of surrendering Saudi forces. Is this latest Saudi loss the end of the road for presumptive heir to the throne, Mohammad bin Salman? Palace coup? Plus – an update on the CIA “whistleblower” trying to take down the president. Tune in to today’s Liberty Report…

While the country is being dragged through the three ring impeachment circus – which is all about politics and nothing about policy, President Trump’s secret wars and interventions across the globe continue. Venezuela, Middle East, Lithuania…the intervention is on overdrive. But Congress has no interest in its Constitutional obligations when it comes to war. Political theater is far more exciting.

Just as the Democratic Party was gearing up for a good, old-fashioned impeachment – something they’ve been desperate for since Trump was elected – the release of the transcript of the phone call between Trump and the Ukraine president has fizzled their hopes. Again. There is no “there” there and again the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media are left looking foolish. Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

The US House is said to have pushed impeachment of President Trump to the front burner after it has been revealed that he discussed a corruption investigation of Joe Biden’s son with the president of Ukraine. Earlier, Biden bragged that he got the prosecutor fired and the investigation was put on ice. Was there a quid pro quo for US military aid? Who was the “whistleblower”? Who is guilty? Both? And what about the foreign aid in the first place? Watch today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump’s decision to deploy more US troops (and more failed Patriot Missile batteries) signals the US Administration’s continuing determination to back Saudi Arabia in its aggressive war against Yemen. But what does it mean that the mighty US air superiority has been defeated by a few cheap drones and missiles? The illusion of dominance. Should we be engaging further in the Middle East…or is it time to come home? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

The approach of negative interest rates in the US will transport us into a truly bizarro world where up is down and spending is saving. But it’s not only an economic issue – there is a moral and political corrosion of our society that comes with negative interest rates.
