The Ron Paul Liberty Report

Central planning never works. Unfortunately, this doesn't deter authoritarians from trying to make it work. Central planners always corner themselves; they checkmate themselves. They reach a point where every decision is a bad one; where every move is the wrong move. The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional, immoral, and the primary source of economic calamity in America. It's yet another of example of central planning that must ultimately fail.

With the CDC poised to add the covid shot to the schedule of childhood immunizations, today is a good opportunity to reflect on how those who once garnered the most trust in our society have become some of the worst among us. How to move forward when that trust is gone? Also today, it's Christmas every day for defense contractors, as Congress rushes to shovel massive amounts of money to "defeat Russia" in Ukraine.

As opposition to Washington's Ukraine blank check mounts, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has signaled that the next huge check - nearly $38 billion - will be conveniently hidden in a year-end, must-pass omnibus bill. It's a way to keep the gravy train flowing while sparing Members the inconvenience of having to face voters. Also today...White House to send more troops into Ukraine. What could go wrong?

As several major polls show Americans are shifting dramatically away from supporting Ukraine, GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy has said that shoveling yet more money to Kiev will not be automatic should control of the House shift after the November elections. This as many Republican up-and-coming candidates are running explicitly on shutting down the money spigot to Europe's most corrupt country. Also today: why are so many retired senior US military officers bathing in Saudi cash? Finally: US Senate opens the money spigot to Taiwan even wider.

Democrats are struggling to redirect the blame for inflation off of Biden. They should put the blame where it belongs -- on The Federal Reserve! Instead, Democrats have decided to go with a dead end misdirection. They're trying to blame "corporate greed," which is an illogical waste of time that further bamboozles anyone who believes them. The problem of inflation will never be corrected until enough people understand that the source is always The Federal Reserve.

It didn't happen overnight and it didn't even begin with the Trump presidency, but there has been a coup in America. A coup of the elites against the American people. It's just getting more obvious these days. Also today: who are the winners in the Ukraine war? Finally: should we worry about Russian nukes in Belarus?

A recent Wall Street Journal article outlined the serious recruiting crisis in the US military. It's getting so bad that even among military families there is strong pressure for the next generation not to sign up. Why does no one want to serve anymore? Could it be the same "woke" virtue-signaling that is destroying major brands like Bud Light and Target? Also today: Ukraine under pressure to make failed counter-offensive work in advance of NATO summit.

Although the narrative pushed by the US government and propped up by the mainstream media is that "Ukraine is winning," in a recent classified briefing to Congress the Pentagon is singing a very different tune. As the Biden Administration continues up the escalation escalator, shouldn't the American people hear what military experts really believe? Also today: Why F-16s? And...when a medical school goes "woke."

US Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) said on Face the Nation yesterday that the Jan 6th protesters were insurrectionists who attacked "our democracy" just like the 9/11 attackers 21 years ago. Will the families of the 9/11 victims have something to say about this? Also today: Trump allies continue to be rounded up as Biden's DoJ declares war on half the country. But, never fear, The Biden Administration has decided to change hundreds of "racist" names of places around the country.

At the NATO foreign ministers summit in Bucharest this week, Member states talked tough about endless support for Ukraine "whatever it takes." They also reiterated a 2008 pledge to eventually welcome Ukraine as a Member. Are they serious? Also today: Biden's neocons are reportedly considering sending Patriot missiles to Ukraine despite Russian warnings that it would be a major escalation. How far will they go?

Freedom must be vigilantly defended. Each day provides an opportunity for people in power to take it away. No matter what the incident, authoritarians propagandize fear; always with the end result of them being granted more power and money. Today, it's fires in Canada. If the government doesn't "do something," we won't have a planet to live on anymore. It's up to the people to know better. Freedom must be vigilantly defended.

In a shocking and bizarre speech at Howard University over the weekend, President Biden named "white supremacy" to be the greatest terrorist threat facing America today. For a president promising to unite America, will his divisive language resonate with voters? Also today, while Germany keeps shoveling money into Ukraine, neocons in Washington are panicking that Congress may start questioning the need to fund Ukraine for "as long as it takes."

New information coming from Congressional investigations reveals that a group of scientists initially concerned that Covid may have come from a lab-leak were "prompted" by Fauci to refute that theory. They later got millions in grants! Also today: massive UK scandal reveals callous disregard over government lockdown policies. Finally: Homeland Security is running domestic intelligence-gathering operations...just like Ron Paul warned from the beginning.

The pro-war and pro-Biden CNN has just released a poll that must have been painful for them: Americans across the board, whether Democrat or Republican or independent, whether liberal or conservative, now say they do NOT approve of any further US aid to Ukraine. As Ukraine has been Biden's signature foreign policy issue, what does this mean as we move into election season? Also today - can Trump get a venue change?

Legendary investigative journalist Seymour Hersh published a blockbuster report on last year's attack on the Nord Stream pipeline. Though at the time, US mainstream media and neocons blamed Russia for attacking its own pipeline, Hersh lays out in detail how the US government, in a covert operation, blew it up. What's next? Also today, Ukraine war is McCain's legacy.

Boycotts Hitting Hard -- "Woke" Corporations Have Pushed Americans To A Breaking Point

"Corporatism" is when power (government), money (corporations), and propaganda (media) merge together to repeatedly rip-off the people at large. The antithesis to this "system" is severely limited government, sound money and free markets. But as long as the people at large resist their freedom, the rip-off machine will happily continue on to the next "latest thing."

After relentlessly pushing "woke" ideology and "cancel culture," Netflix, Facebook, and many other media and social media companies are now experiencing the wrath of the masses, as they shed value at an astonishing pace. Are we at "peak woke"? Why is Facebook trying to "cancel" the Ron Paul Institute? Will Elon Musk help turn the tide back to free expression? Also today: election funny business in Pennsylvania? Finally: Finland eyes nukes aimed at Russia. Good idea?

Former senior advisor to President Trump's Secretary of Defense and decorated war hero Col. Douglas Macgregor joins today's Liberty Report to discuss the state of the US/NATO proxy war with Russia through Ukraine. Is there danger of further escalation from the Biden Administration and what might that look like? When and how does this war end?

NATO's message to Ukrainian president Zelensky at its Vilnius summit was essentially, "you keep fighting and we'll keep sending weapons. But no NATO Membership." Zelensky was furious when this became clear and he lashed out. Slowly it is becoming obvious that NATO and the US means to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian without getting their hands dirty. Next move?

Ukraine's president, Vladimir Zelensky, made a surprise visit to Washington, DC, today, where he is expected to "discuss strategy" with President Biden and to address the US Congress. While Congress has just topped up Biden's latest Ukraine request to $47 billion, the AP is reporting that Zelensky's message is going to be "that's not enough!" Both Party leaders whole-heartedly support giving Ukraine "whatever it takes" as Americans face runaway inflation and recession.

The unconstitutional and immoral Federal Reserve should not exist. But it does exist, and it has created an economic debacle so great, that the world has never seen anything like it before. The Fed was created in an attempt to control market forces that are uncontrollable; to try to "plan" the economy, despite the immutable fact that it cannot be planned. The Fed has failed. There was never a chance for success.

After tens of billions have been shoveled into the black hole of Ukraine, known as the most corrupt country in Europe, Beltway conservative groups are belatedly waking up to the dollar hemorrhage. With a new $14 billion dollar giveaway on the table, groups such as Heritage Action and Center for Renewing America are screaming "enough!" Also today: one astrophysicist shocks the world.

In a near-overwhelming vote, the US House of Representatives voted to maintain the "2019 Cesar Syria Civil Protection Act," a bill imposing additional sanctions on the Syrian people. The iron fist was hidden in a velvet glove, however, which we will explain in today's program. Also today: Biden sees continued decline in support for his Ukraine policy. And...the UN has a "brilliant" plan to block out the sun. What could go wrong?

It took the U.S. federal government almost 200 years to rack up $1 Trillion in debt. The latest trillion to be added took a mere 3 months! Far too many Americans have come to believe that, instead of protecting individual liberty, the U.S. government can be everything to everyone. Meanwhile, members of government have come to believe that, not only can they perform such an impossible task, but they can perform it for the entire world! This massive delusion is racing towards a massive bankruptcy.
