Will Special Interests Allow America’s ‘Longest War’ to Finally End?

By Ron Paul

​Even if “won,” endless wars like our 20 year assault on Afghanistan would not benefit our actual national interest in the slightest. So why do these wars continue endlessly? Because they are so profitable to powerful and well-connected special interests. In fact, the worst news possible for the Beltway military contractor/think tank complex would be that the United States actually won a war. That would signal the end of the welfare-for-the-rich gravy train.

In contrast to the end of d...

CDC Suddenly Concerned About Covid 'False Positive' Tests?

The CDC has issued new guidelines for measuring "breakthrough" Covid cases (a vaccinated person contracting the virus), recommending that the PCR test cycles be dialed down to below 28 to avoid false positives. False positives could undermine support for the vaccine. This move makes sense...but what about an entire year of testing the general population with a cycle of 40 or above? Are some false positives more equal than others?

CDC Changes Its Tune On Masks, But Media Propaganda Continues

The CDC announced this week that people who have been fully vaccinated can now go outside without masks on. Meanwhile in many of the open states people have been outside all along without masks. The Texas Rangers baseball team played its opener to a full station of mostly unmasked people. Meanwhile the mainstream media continues to obfuscate and propagandize over the "embarrassing" successes of "free" states like Texas and Florida, still quoting "experts" who have been wrong over and over.

Police Problems? Embrace Liberty!

By Ron Paul

​Many Americans saw former policeman Derek Chauvin’s conviction on all counts last week as affirming the principle that no one is above the law. Many others were concerned that the jury was scared that anything less than a full conviction would result in riots, and even violence against themselves and their families.

Was the jury’s verdict influenced by politicians and media figures who were calling for the jury to deliver the “right” verdict? Attempts to intimidate juries are just as ...

Avoid The Man-Made Utopia Trap

By Chris Rossini

Predictions, projections, prognostications, opinions...All of these are a dime a dozen. They're very cheap to create. It's not expensive to blurt out a prediction about the unknown future. Anyone can do it, and just about everyone does.

Here's the key -- The future is always uncertain. No human being (or human-created tool) can know all of the variables involved in our Universe. It doesn't matter how much data is collected. You can fill entire mountains with servers that are burst...

Deep Corruption: Is The System Falling Apart?

From media to government to military to the "non-profit" sector, corruption seems to be tearing the United States apart. The media lies, the "watchers" are not being watched, billions of dollars are being transferred to the wealthy elites. Is the system falling apart at the seams?

Fauci Flip-Flops Again! 'Ditch The Outdoor Masks'

After warning repeatedly of new waves and dark days, President Biden's chief Covid advisor Dr. Fauci has again flip-flopped. No longer is it "science" to wear masks outside, he says, after urging outdoor mask-wearing just months ago. Why Fauci's change of heart?

Is Jerome Powell Rumpelstiltskin?

By Jeff Harris

One of the oldest stories in human history is encapsulated in the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale made famous when it was included by two German brothers named Grimm in their “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” children’s book first published in 1812. The original story is thought to be over 4,000 years old and remains relevant today because it fascinates the human brain to imagine it’s actually possible to create enormous wealth without the bother of hard work, sacrifice and self-discipline.

As you’l...
