The Idea of Liberty vs. Authoritarian Control

By Chris Rossini

If someone said, "Please place your next thought into my hand," could you do it? Of course not! No one has ever seen or touched  a thought, nor knows exactly what a thought is, where it comes from, where it goes, etc. Yet, no one denies that thoughts exist and that we all think them every second of our lives.

Similar to a stream or river, we never set our thinking in motion, nor can we stop the stream of thoughts at any time. We can, however, slow our thinking down, and (most...

Corona Vaccine: Sound Science Or Experimentation?

Concerns are mounting about the competing Covid vaccinations, as the UK reports it may inject a cocktail of two different vaccines and the FDA warns of "severe adverse reactions' after dose two of the Pfizer vaccine. Polls suggest that Americans are not all eager to stand in line for the shot. Will they be forced? Also today: Are the hospitals really filling up? Respected Coronavirus Task Force Member warns against lockdowns. Heroes and villains in Chicago and Virginia. Texas Attorney General...

The Crack-Up is Coming

By Ron Paul

Some Federal Reserve officials are calling for tougher banking regulations in order to prevent the Feds low interest rate policy from leading investors to take excessive risks that will create asset bubbles. The Fed is understandably worried that these bubbles will burst leading to another market meltdown. However, the boom-and-bust cycle will not end because regulators stop investors from taking excessive risks. Almost every bubble and economic downturn America has experienced...

Outdoor Dining? Forbidden! Indoor Big Box Shopping? Encouraged! Insanity!

The cruel illogic of this latest round of Covid lockdowns has infuriated more and more Americans and exposed the corruption and hypocrisy of the "leaders." While outdoor dining is being forcibly shut down in places like California - with no "science" to back the move up - indoor shopping at big-box stores continues unabated. Small restaurants are going under by the thousands while the powerful and well-connected are reaping record profits. America is being pushed to the breaking point by...

“Papers Please”...In America?

'Stay home for Christmas'. Wear masks for the 'first 100 days' of the Biden Administration. Everyone to be issued vaccination cards and tracked in a CDC database. But, even with vaccines, UK medical officer says masks will have to be worn "for years." Authoritarianism is travelling at full-speed. The ideas of individual liberty are more important now than ever.

Walter Williams RIP

By Norm Singleton

​Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul issued the following statement regarding the passing of noted libertarian economist Walter Williams:

“With the passing of Walter Williams, the liberty movement has lost one of its sharpest, brightest, and wittiest advocates. Through his work as a professor, author, columnist, speaker, and guest host for Rush Limbaugh, Walter educated millions of Americans in free-market economics. He also gave those already converted to the cause of...

Covid 19 Vaccines: Paving The Way For The Surveillance State

​Like so many other "crises" that preceded it, the Covid-19 "pandemic" has provided fertile territory for the authoritarians who seize any opportunity to destroy freedom and liberty under the false claim of "keeping us safe." The PATRIOT Act passed after 9/11 was supposed to do the same thing: keep us safe by targeting the terrorists who wanted to kill us. But as we learned from Ed Snowden shortly afterward, it was a lie. The PATRIOT Act was designed to view us as the enemy, to be spied on, trac...

Fear & Profits: Government Lockdowns Fuel The Desire For Crony Vaccines

The marriage between government & crony big business was on full display this year. The generation of big fear by the former was met with big profits for the latter. The widespread belief that government needs to "regulate" our social and economic lives provides the foundation for this poisonous marriage to thrive. Individual Liberty and free markets (without government interference) can perform the annulment, but they need to be desired first.

The Fed's Financial Crisis Looms: Is Bitcoin The Answer?

As the Fed counterfeits and counterfeits some more, the price of Bitcoin has hit record highs. A financial crisis looms as there is a great disconnect between economic reality and the financial fantasyland that The Fed has once again created. Today we discuss the terrible traps known as legal tender laws, crypto, and the dire necessity of separating government from money creation.

Trump Pardons Flynn…It’s a Good Start!

By Ron Paul

​Last week President Trump granted a “full pardon” to Gen. Michael Flynn, his first National Security Advisor. In a White House statement announcing the pardon, the Administration pointed out that the relentless pursuit of Flynn was a partisan effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election.

The pursuit of Flynn was spearheaded by people who refused to accept the results of the 2016 election and worked to undermine the peaceful transfer of power, said the White House. These same pe...
