The Case For Lockdowns, Masks, School Closures, 'Distancing' Has Just Collapsed

The whole narrative is falling apart. New studies every day are proving beyond a doubt that the measures taken worldwide - with a few exceptions - to "fight" what they claimed was a "new" coronavirus have not only failed to slow or stop the disease, they have been counterproductive. It turns out that people develop lasting T-cell immunities, that patients have been successfully treated with T-cells from asymptomatic test-positive cases, and that the virus rarely spreads outside the family settin...

As Covid Hospitalizations Disappear, Authoritarians Refuse To Give Up

As the "Sun Belt" wave of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations burns itself out - as is always the case with a virus - those authoritarian politicians still clinging to the ability to push their citizens around refuse to give up. As in the Lord of the Rings, they cannot bear letting go of the ring of power. But what will it take for them to finally relinquish their stranglehold on our lives? Many hospitals are now suffering from a lack of patients and deaths among those under 50 years of age r...

The Proper Role of Government Has Been Flipped Upside Down

By Chris Rossini

​​Liberty doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with no restraints; that you can take from others or harm others. That's not Liberty. That's tyranny!

So Liberty is not unrestrained action, as some opponents of freedom will try to claim.

Liberty is the exact opposite of tyranny. 

Yes, you can do whatever you want with your life and your property. However, other people and their property are the restraint. They are your limit. That's how far your liberty extends. 

Likewise, the Lib...

US Attacks Syrian Army Outpost As US Firm Moves To Steal Syrian Oil

Obama's "Assad must go" Syria policy lives on, even three plus years into the Trump Administration. Yesterday, US troops illegally occupying Syrian territory shot at a Syrian army checkpoint and a US helicopter followed up by destroying the outpost. At least one Syrian soldier was killed in the incident. Earlier this month a politically-connected US firm signed a contract with the US government to "modernize" US-controlled oilfields in Syria - to "starve Assad." Also today: insanity in Australia...

Good News: Fauci’s Out and Common Sense Might Be Returning

By Ron Paul

​These days it seems there is not much good news out there. People are still panicked over the coronavirus, governments are still trampling civil liberties in the name of fighting the virus, the economy –already teetering on the edge of collapse – has been kicked to the ground by what history may record as one of the worst man-made disasters of all time: shutting down the country to fight a cold virus.

That’s why we’ll take good news wherever we can get it, and President Trump’s...

Trump's Failed Iran Policy Is Leading Us To War

President Trump has been consistent on Iran and, unfortunately, consistently wrong. His Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has been foaming at the mouth for war with Iran for years, along with the various neocons like Eliot Abrams who serve as cogs in the war machine. As the US moves closer to war with Iran, the utter failure of Trump's "maximum pressure" policy is laid bare. Unless this Administration wakes up to this failure and changes course, the future is dire for the US and the Middle E...

'Do Not Trust The Medical Or The National Security Establishment!' With Guest Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Kennedy, Jr. joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his startling discoveries about who really killed his father and uncle...and why.

Defiance! 6,000 Attend 'Illegal' California Church Service

A California mega-church has refused to buckle under the tyrannical governor's orders to limit attendance to 100 people. On Sunday, between 6-7,000 worshipers showed up and attended services. Also today: Florida sheriff says 'no masks!" A post-apocalyptic UK conference. Epidemic versus 'case-demic.' And a new MIT article suggests community immunity is preventing coronavirus spread in US.

Individual Liberty - You Can't Ditch It, Or Assume It For Anyone Else

By Chris Rossini

​Every person is endowed with individual liberty. That is, the ability to choose, to select, to prefer, to believe, and to act. Over time, a person's outward life and circumstances will reflect the choices that were (and currently are) made. 

In other words, with individual liberty comes responsibility. With the choice (cause) comes the circumstance (effect). That's the setup, like it or not.

There are two major pitfalls that a person can succumb to once they start to live i...

Great News From Washington (And It's NOT Kamala Harris!)

Will presidential hopeful Joe Biden choice of a pro-war authoritarian as his running mate give him the edge over Trump? Is there any issue Kamala Harris is not terrible on from a libertarian point of view? But there is good news out of Washington: President Trump has chosen a new coronavirus advisor who opposes lockdowns and believes the virus is actually under control. Will Fauci start packing his bags?
