Will Americans raise a ruckus about Braveheart Gonzalo Lira?

Will Americans raise a ruckus about Braveheart Gonzalo Lira?

by | Jan 23, 2024 |

“Just say it. Cry out. Mercy,” said the magistrate to William Wallace in Mel Gibson’s Braveheart (1995). Wallace had already been drawn and quartered, so the king’s torturer was not offering to save his life. He promised only an end to the torture with a quicker, more merciful death. The Wallace of the film refuses to speak the words the king’s magistrate commands and cries “Freedom!” instead. Realizing further torture will not produce his desired result, the magistrate reluctantly...

​Biden Doctrine:​’If It’s Broke Don’t Fix It!’

​Biden Doctrine:​’If It’s Broke Don’t Fix It!’

by | Jan 23, 2024 |

This article was first published as an update to Ron Paul Institute subscribers. Subscribe for free here. Last week President Biden was asked by a reporter about US attacks on Yemen: Reporter: "Are the airstrikes in Yemen working?" Biden: "Well, when you say working, are they stopping the Houthis? No. Are they gonna continue? Yes." The exchange perfectly defines the Biden Administration's foreign policy: "Is our policy working? No. But keep it up, man!" What is that old saying about the...

House Bills Seek to End Remaining US Government Coronavirus Shots Mandates

House Bills Seek to End Remaining US Government Coronavirus Shots Mandates

by | Jan 22, 2024 |

Coronavirus shots mandates imposed by the United States government have largely been jettisoned as the coronavirus scare has receded, legal challenges have been pursued, and the experimental “vaccine” shots have fallen far short of meeting their often repeated “safe and effective” categorization. Still, some US government mandates to take the shots remain in place, including for US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care personnel. On Thursday, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) introduced...

Raw Milk, Marijuana, Tobacco, and Alcohol

Raw Milk, Marijuana, Tobacco, and Alcohol

by | Jan 22, 2024 |

The year 2023 was a good year for proponents of legalized raw milk and legalized marijuana. Forty-six states now allow the sale of raw milk, that is, unpasteurized milk, for human consumption, for pet consumption (there is no law against consuming pet food), or the distribution of raw milk through herd-share agreements. Only the states of Hawaii, Louisiana, Nevada, and Rhode Island prohibit the sale or distribution of raw milk. The states of Idaho, Iowa, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming...

Don’t Tax the Rich. End the Fed!

Select politicians, government officials, economic elites, and experts arriving at the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland were greeted with an open letter signed by more than 250 billionaires and millionaires. The signers request their respective governments raise their taxes. The letter signers are concerned about “inequality” that they say “has reached a tipping point.” The cost of this inequality “to our economic, societal and ecological stability risk,” the letter...

Watch Those Houthis – They Are Pretty Tough

Watch Those Houthis – They Are Pretty Tough

by | Jan 20, 2024 |

The first time I went to remote Yemen, this wild, mountainous nation was just creeping into the 7th Century AD. That was 45 years ago. There was only one hotel in the capital, Sanaa, and it was booked up with European businessmen trying to sell junk to the Yemenis. I had to sleep on a cot in the dining room and be up before breakfast. The ruler back in the day was a despot known to his less than loving subjects as ‘Ahmed the Devil.’ He liked to nail subjects who displeased him to the palace...

The Emperor’s New Clothes

The Emperor’s New Clothes

by | Jan 18, 2024 |

Just as a fictional emperor paid his tailors a fortune for clothes that no one could see, and then marched naked in a grand public procession while his subjects roared with laughter, so, too, is President Joe Biden attempting to march clothed with the Constitution he dishonors. He will have the same fate as the emperor. Last week, Biden used the U.S. Navy to attack militias in Yemen. He did so after learning that the militias had attacked non-American ships carrying goods and fuel destined for...

Gut Feelings Make for Strategic Errors – US Lured Into Battlescape in Gaza, Yemen and Now Iraq

Gut Feelings Make for Strategic Errors – US Lured Into Battlescape in Gaza, Yemen and Now Iraq

by | Jan 17, 2024 |

China and Russia have been remarkably quiet, watching carefully the global tectonic plates shifting around in response to the “two wars” (Ukraine and Israel’s “multiwar”). Really it is not surprising; both states can sit back to simply watch Biden and his team persist with their strategic mistakes in Ukraine and in Israel’s multiple wars. The interlacing of the two wars will, of course, shape the new era. There are substantive risks, but for now they can observe with comfort from afar as a...

MLK Was Right

MLK Was Right

by | Jan 17, 2024 |

Martin Luther King called the U.S. government the “greatest purveyor of violence in the world.” No one can legitimately deny that he was right. At the time he made his statement, King was referring to the untold death, suffering, and destruction that the Pentagon and the CIA were unleashing on the people of Vietnam. But after that war ended, the U.S. national-security establishment continued wreaking death, destruction, and suffering across the world. Of course, there was lots of death and...

Killing the Messenger

Killing the Messenger

by | Jan 15, 2024 |

This article first appeared in an update to RPI subscribers. Subscribe for free here. One call from the White House or State Department could have saved California-born journalist Gonzalo Lira's life. Living in Ukraine-controlled Kharkov (to be close to his children), Lira saw early on, from his unique vantage point, that the propaganda being fed to the American people from the mainstream media about that "plucky little democracy" in Ukraine fighting to protect "our values" was, as is all...

Congress Asleep as Biden Makes War on Yemen

by | Jan 15, 2024 |

Late last week President Biden started a new US war on the tiny country of Yemen. US warships and fighter jets launched more than a hundred missiles at the country in a massive escalation that the Administration bizarrely claimed would “de-escalate” tensions in the Red Sea. Taking the US to war without a Congressional declaration of war is a grave crime against the Constitution. Not only did Biden show no interest in coming to Congress for a war declaration, he didn’t even ask for...

Will Americans raise a ruckus about Braveheart Gonzalo Lira?

American Citizen Gonzalo Lira Dies From Neglect in Ukrainian Prison

by | Jan 13, 2024 |

Chilean-American war commentator Gonzalo Lira died shortly before noon on January, 11, 2024 at a hospital in Kharkiv, where he had been imprisoned for eight months since he was accused of justifying Russian war efforts in Ukraine. Lira came to prominence in 2022 when he emerged as a critical voice in an increasingly dictatorial Ukraine. His arrest in May 2023 on charges of “production and dissemination of materials justifying Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine” helped to...

Israel Goes to Court for the Crime of Genocide

Israel Goes to Court for the Crime of Genocide

by | Jan 12, 2024 |

A friend of mine who follows international developments closely recently observed that the United States and Israel have “own goaled” themselves to become widely perceived as together the two most evil governments on earth. It is a judgement that is hard to disagree with regarding the Jewish state if one examines the abundant evidence that Israel is systematically committing war crimes against the largely unarmed Palestinian civilian population in an effort to bring about ethnic cleansing or...

RFK Jr.’s ‘Unconditional’ Support for Israel is Costing His Campaign for President

RFK Jr.’s ‘Unconditional’ Support for Israel is Costing His Campaign for President

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s staffers keep resigning. Many antiwar Americans were thrilled when Kennedy announced last spring that he’d be running against Joe Biden in this year’s primaries and that he’d hired former Democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich to be his campaign manager. But Kucinich quit in the middle of October. At the beginning of November, Kennedy’s field team, led by former California congressman Dana Rorabacher’s wife Rhonda, quit too. Then in December,...

Milk and the Police State

Milk and the Police State

by | Jan 11, 2024 |

Last week, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, state troopers and investigators executed a search warrant on the farm of Amos Miller. Miller has been producing fresh unadulterated dairy products and grass-fed beef for 40 years. He does not sell to the public. Rather, he sells only to folks who join his club because they want pure raw dairy products, not pasteurized and not chemically treated, as the state commands. The members of Miller’s club believe that they own their own bodies and that...

Rep. Nancy Mace’s ‘White Privilege’ Nonsense

Rep. Nancy Mace’s ‘White Privilege’ Nonsense

by | Jan 10, 2024 |

During a Wednesday United States House of Representatives Oversight and Accountability Committee meeting regarding whether President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden should be found in contempt for failing to show up to answer questions after receiving a House subpoena, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) directed an astoundingly ridiculous comment toward Hunter Biden who was sitting in the front row of the audience. “You are the epitome of white privilege,” Mace told Biden. Hold on. Seriously? Hunter Biden is...
