The Ron Paul Liberty Report

Thanks to a FOIA request, an internal document from the Federal Reserve, known as the "Doomsday Book" has been released. The purpose of it is to guide The Fed's actions during emergencies. Emre Kuvvet, professor of finance at Nova Southeastern University says "the central bank—or at least the legal team at its dominant member bank—apparently believes it can rely on precedent to justify virtually any emergency action." Do laws lose their purpose when virtually anything can be justified? Perhaps Tacitus was right: "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."

In this edition of #AskRonPaul, we take questions from Twitter.

There will be many jabs and many one-liners and many hollow promises made as eight GOP contenders - minus Trump - take the debate stage.

Sen. Lindsey Graham was in Kiev over the weekend where he spoke approvingly of "dead Russians." However, some of his most incendiary comments were actually edited together by Ukrainian President Zelensky's own office to make them sound even more threatening. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones hit Moscow for the first time though no serious damage occurred. Closer we get to WWIII.

Iran has suffered its largest terror attack in more than 40 years, as several explosive devices went off at a memorial ceremony for the late Gen. Soleimani. With tensions in the Middle East already at an extreme, who could have been behind the attack and who benefits? Also today: surprise surprise - the "extremism in the military" scare was completely bogus. Another Biden lie.

If the weekend's attempted Wagner private military company march to Moscow was an actual coup attempt, it will go down as one of history's biggest farces. While NATO was on pins and needles hoping to see Putin defeated, the quick fizzle left them scrambling. Also today: US Rep Gaetz wants to give Biden permission to bomb Chinese troops in Cuba?

Today's breaking news that Hunter Biden has accepted a "slap on the wrist" plea deal on gun and tax charges has ended a nearly five year investigation into the "first son."

A new article in The Guardian details the enthusiasm among the masters of Wall Street for the wars in Gaza (and Ukraine), issuing "buy" orders all around for US weapons manufacturer stocks. Meanwhile, Gaza's largest refugee camp was blown to pieces yesterday. The Biden Administration is now considering sending US troops as "peacekeepers" once the smoke clears. Good idea?

Former US Congressman, OMB Director, and successful businessman David Stockman (who is also on the Board of the Ron Paul Institute) joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his new book on Trump's economic views. Is Trump really at war with capitalism? Tune in to the program!

The purpose of government is not to be married to corporations, with each reinforcing the other. Government's legitimate role is not for the protection and growth of corporate profits; and corporations are not meant to strengthen government's destruction of our freedoms. But alas, this is the type of system that Americans have been living under for a very long time. Today we're discussing the "miracle" covid vax that the vast majority of Americans are now refusing to take. The truth always wins in the end. Even corporatism is no match for it.

The "vaccine" irrationality has reached comical levels. Jill Biden, who has had multiple "vaccines" and "boosters" has Covid once again. At the same time, it's been reported that the FDA is set to approve yet another "booster." To top it all off, the White House Press Secretary says "we know that these vaccines work." Who's buying any of this?

Politico has trotted out an "expert" on the Tea Party Movement to put forth the idea that the Tea Party was always ONLY about McCarthy, Paul Ryan, and Eric Cantor, and with the fall of McCarthy the movement is finally dead. What does Politico get wrong? Everything. Also today Ukraine "freaking out" over end to US gravy train.

The market (i.e., billions of individual decisions) cannot be defeated by decisions of the few (i.e., authoritarians, utopians and busybodies). The few can temporarily manipulate and distort the market, but it's always a fool's errand. The market ultimately reasserts itself. Blackrock tried to overpower the market with its "ESG" or Environmental, Social & Governance scheme. But the market is, once again, having the final say.

Mankind's enduring battle between power and liberty is about to flip the calendar page once again. While the former uses force to create division, the latter seeks harmony through voluntary interactions. Power may have the upper hand as we start the new year, but the desperation to hold onto that power has now become more than obvious. What are the prospects for liberty as we enter 2024?

In a shocking new report released by the US House Judiciary Committee, it is alleged that the FBI passed Ukrainian intelligence requests to US social media that certain accounts be silenced for "Russian disinformation." Many of the accounts were Americans exercising their First Amendment right to disagree with US government policy. Also today: Biden rejects Congressional calls for oversight on massive US wealth transfer to Ukraine.

Though the Biden Administration has said there will be no US troops on the ground in Israel's war on Gaza, The Intercept reports yesterday on a US Air Force memo informing personnel to be “on standby to forward deploy to support troops in the case of on ground US involvement in the Israel Hamas war.” Our war? Also today: Nuland says NEVER to getting out of Syria and the EU goes Warsaw Pact on Hungary.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is the first candidate to offer a concrete solution to our fast-approaching nuclear conflict with Russia. It's an old solution...but it worked pretty well the first time. Also today: Tucker Carlson wonders why we are at war with Russia. Meanwhile, Biden has announced another $500 million to Ukraine.

In a rare successful deal with Iran, the Biden Administration secured the release of five US citizens held in Iranian prisons in exchange for the release of $6 billion in Iranian assets seized by the United States. Predictably, US Republican politicians lost their minds over the deal. Also today: Blinken green-lights Ukrainian missile strikes deep into Russia - what could go wrong? Finally: Biden's thuggish Energy Secretary strands young family so she can re-charge her electric car.

With a majority of Americans opposing further US involvement in the Israel/Gaza conflict, President Biden is finding that within his own Democratic Party support for his approach is even softer. Younger voters are solidly opposed to further US support for Israel's continued assault on Gaza. That is why while Biden's initial reaction tracked more closely with his neocon views, he is furiously backpedaling under pressure from his own party. Also today: Rep. Massie is the lone "no" vote on another anti-free speech House Resolution.

America wasn't meant to be an empire, but a land of individual liberty. Empires destroy liberty. Why must our money be taken from us for weapons and endless war? Our money shouldn't be taken from us at all, let alone for that! Why not use our money to fix our deteriorating country? Why do our politicians constantly complain about our deteriorating country, yet constantly vote for weapons and war? Why do politicians speak "America First," but vote "Empire First"? Why do they complain about our poor, but vote to make more of us poor? Since Empires always go bankrupt, why are our politicians pushing us to that extreme? Are they that terrified of us being free?
