Will Biden's Syria Attack Help ISIS?

ISIS is back, we are told. Suddenly after a prolonged silence the ISIS threat is now being used to justify expanding the US presence in the Middle East. Last Thursday, however, President Biden ordered an airstrike on one of the Iraqi militias formed in 2014 to fight against ISIS. So...are we helping or hurting ISIS? Does anyone know?

Why Has The Fed Unleashed A Whirlwind of Inflation?

We live in unprecedented times of governmental, bureaucratic and authoritarian overreach. It is no surprise that The Federal Reserve, with its extreme counterfeiting of money and credit has also extended itself way beyond what anyone could have imagined. The Fed has sown the wind, and will reap a whirlwind of inflation. Central planning always fails. This time will be no different.

Did Hand-Washing Kill The Flu?

Astonishingly, the UK public health authority has announced that this flu season has not seen a single case of influenza. The US and elsewhere are showing similar numbers. Has the flu disappeared? If so, why? The "experts" are claiming that hand-washing, masks, and social distancing have defeated the flu virus. So why didn't those measures work against the Covid virus? Also today, social media morphs into NATO cheerleaders...

The Invisible Victims Of The Covid Lockdowns

While the mainstream media concentrates on different milestones of Covid deaths, thousands and thousands of others die and suffer needlessly due to the unprecedented practice of locking societies down. Today's Liberty Report takes a look at these victims and asks why and was it necessary.

He Who Does Not Obey, Shall Not...

By Chris Rossini

​A mental error was embraced by the American people and the American federal government a century ago. No longer would individual liberty and limited government be the guiding principles in the land of the free. 

Instead hyper-interventionism by the federal government would be unleashed, both domestically and internationally. The false idea that government is a tool (not to protect individual liberty) but to re-make and perfect the citizens, took hold.

But American citizens wouldn'...

Facts Or Cover-Up? Congress To Hold Hearings On Capitol Riot

Congressional leaders will convene a joint session to look into the events surrounding the January 6th Capitol melee. Will they ask the questions that really need to be answered, or will both sides continue political grandstanding? Also today, US Representatives try to cancel the First Amendment, demanding the end of Fox and other conservative media. Fauci backs off. DeSantis is the rising political star - why?

Unintended Consequences and The Texas ‘Big Freeze’ Energy Disaster

By Ron Paul

Last week Texas experienced a cold snap that resulted in serious statewide damage, death, and destruction. The collapse of the state’s energy grid left millions of Texans in the dark and freezing for days at a time. Tragically, at least 30 people died.

There are many reasons why Texas became like a Third World country, and we should be careful not to pin all the blame on just one factor. But it seems clear that the disaster was to a large degree caused by political decisions to shift t...

Covid 500K?

Mainstream media is reporting the "grim milestone" of 500,000 Covid deaths. Is the number accurate? Are such headlines meant to keep the fear turned up to 10, or to inform the audience? A Wall Street Journal op-ed over the weekend predicts "herd immunity" soon. Is it wrong? Fauci says maybe mask up till 2022. Is he wrong?

Don't Just Blame The Greenies For The Crisis: 'It's Central Economic Planning, Stupid!'

Americans have clearly lost their way. The same failed ideas are being played out in all the various aspects of our lives. Fortunately, the way back is not complex, but actually very easy. Americans must (once again) discard the disastrous belief in top-down government central planning and one-size-fits-all policies. They produce nothing but suffering. We must rediscover the virtues of individual liberty and voluntary interactions with one another.

Israel's 'Green Badge' - Covid Exit Plan...Or New Tyranny?

The Israeli government is serious about rolling out its "Green Badge" Covid passport as a part of its plan to end months-old Covid lockdowns. If you cannot prove you've had a Covid jab or that you have already recovered from the virus, you essentially cannot participate in any form of public life. Good idea? Is this the future for the rest of the world? Also today: Canada's worsening Covid Crackdown, Bill Gates attacks skeptics, Cuomo's feeling the hot water.
