According to a new study by the University of Sussex, the 10,000 civilian dead in the Yemen war is hugely understated. The actual number of civilians killed since the Saudi attacks started in 2015 may be as high as 80,000. And on top of that, 50,000 children die each year from preventable illnesses related to the war. Why does the US continue to act as an accomplice in this massacre? Will Congress finally step up and put a stop to it? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

Those who work to stifle free speech and particularly anti-establishment speech have rushed to exploit the tragic murders in Pittsburgh to further their agenda. Government officials and ex-government officials are increasingly pressuring social media companies to restrict speech. Is it an attack-by-proxy on the First Amendment? Is social media and free speech to blame for the actions of a deranged murderer? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

What happened when one Mexican town chock-full of drug gangs and corrupt politicians finally had enough? They banded together to kick them both out. It’s not a Hollywood western, it was real life back in Cheran, Mexico in 2011. Independent investigative reporter Luke Rudowski traveled down to see how they were able to ban gangs and politicians and vastly improve the quality of life in this Mexican city of 30,000. He even made a film about it. Luke joins us to talk about this, the bizarre “bomb scare” sweeping the country, and about the struggles of the independent media in today’s Liberty Report:

Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman is key to the Middle East strategy of both the US and Israel. Keeping focus on regime change for Iran is the main goal of all three countries. That is why we are seeing a push to cover-up the likely complicity of MbS in the crime and instead blame 18 of his closest aides for a “rogue operation.” Will they get away with it? It’s looking likely. Should they? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

The media reports that some 14,000 people are marching from Honduras through Guatemala through Mexico to the US. They are supposed to arrive just in time for the US election in early November. Is this a political stunt? A genuine mass migration? What are the factors that may have led to such an event and what should we do about it? Troops on the border? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump signaled over the weekend that he planned to pull the US out of the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. He claims Russian cheating on the treaty makes it an unfair deal. His National Security Advisor John Bolton is said to claim credit for convincing Trump to pull out, and Bolton is currently in Moscow to inform the Russians of the US president’s decision. What does the end of the INF treaty mean? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

While Washington is in a frenzy over the apparent Saudi government murder of a Saudi Washington Post journalist, little attention is being paid to news that the United Arab Emirates hired an “guns for hire” company founded by an Israeli-American to assassinate members of a political party in Yemen. Pentagon and CIA trained special operations troops were used to carry out the assassinations, including a plan to blow up the party’s headquarters building. While Russian involvement in our elections has yet to be proven, certainly blowing up a foreign political party headquarters and assassinating its leaders qualifies as election meddling. But it’s Ok if we do it? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

What do we call it when the government outsources censorship to the private sector? And what about when those “private” companies are in bed with government? The latest social media purge of hundreds of alternative news sites guarantees that we will be less informed. Guarantees that our only inputs will be from the government-approved mainstream media outlets. They want to turn us into a nation of sheep. Will we allow them? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

Nikki Haley may be on her way out, but the US Ambassador to the UN will certainly be remembered for her pro-Israel activism at the United Nations. Not only did she continue long-standing US policy of blocking any resolutions critical of Israel, she actively worked to punish any country or organization sympathetic to the Palestinians. Is such a policy really in the United States national interest? Will Nikki’s departure signal a change? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

President Trump has sent Secretary of State Pompeo urgently to Saudi Arabia this morning, hoping to get to the bottom of what happened to Saudi exile journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump has promised “severe punishment” to the Saudis if they are involved in killing the journalist, but the government funded Arabiya newspaper threatens strong retaliation if the US dares strike out against Riyadh. Is a major geopolitical shift brewing? Who killed the journalist? What about the Turk role? We try to untangle this complicated issue in today’s Liberty Report:

Sudden concern in Washington over Saudi behavior is puzzling. But the disappearance of a Washington Post writer and the suspicion that the Saudi government is involved has led Washington and particularly the Senate and House to demand some answers. They didn’t care much about Saudi involvement with terrorists in Syria or the evil Saudi war on Yemen. Should we break with the Saudis? Yes. Why? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

“Clear Sky 2018” was launched yesterday in Ukraine, bringing in hundreds of NATO troops along with US fighter and transport planes. The large show of NATO military force on Russia’s border is meant to send a message to “aggressive” Russia. But the ongoing conflict over eastern Ukraine is a leftover from Obama’s disastrous 2014 coup that overthrew the elected government. President Trump appears to be continuing Obama’s foolish policy.
