The Federal Reserve: More Lethal than Coronavirus

By Ron Paul

Last week the Federal Reserve announced it will keep interest rates at or near zero until the economy recovers from the government-imposed shutdown. Following this announcement, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell urged Congress and the Trump administration to put aside any concerns about the deficit and spend whatever it takes to stimulate the economy and combat coronavirus.

The Federal Reserve previously announced it would make unlimited purchases of Treasury securities, thus...

Resistance To Lockdown Builds - Coronavirus Tyrants Losing Their Grip

From Maine to California, Americans are defying government officials and reclaiming their First Amendment rights to assemble and protest. They are opening their businesses up in open defiance of the authoritarian political leaders. The resistance is building and thankfully remains (mostly) peaceful.

Bursting Fed Bubble + Socialist-Style Lockdowns = 30 Million Unemployed

A staggering 30 million Americans are unemployed in just 6 weeks. A calamity of this magnitude has been created by government action combined with the bursting of the biggest economic bubble to ever exist, courtesy of the Federal Reserve. Government "planning" is a total failure. Liberty is the only thing that can rescue America.

Food Crisis Coming - Should We Blame Coronavirus?

Food industry leaders are warning that a huge food crisis is coming, with slaughterhouses closing across the country and the food supply chain badly damaged. Politicians will blame this coming crisis on the coronavirus, but their unprecedented "lockdown" policies have disrupted every aspect of the economy. Plus - now the World Health Organization is holding Sweden up as a model on how to handle the coronavirus? Flip flop?

Will Coronavirus Kill - Or Embolden - Neocon Foreign Policy?

Will a bankrupt nation suffering from a massive six trillion dollar bailout hangover lose its appetite for interventionism overseas? Or is the global coronavirus just the kind of "Pearl Harbor event" the neocons have long pined for to again launch their global war plans?

Now Is The Time To Speak The Ideas of Liberty With Conviction

By Chris Rossini

What if you took a stand and threw all your weight behind the fact that 2+2=4? 

What if, while taking that stand people accused you of being an oddball? What if they called you a "mathematical extremist?" What if they said "Yeah, most of the time 2+2 does equal 4, but there are certain extreme situations where that idea has to be abandoned, and you must believe that 2+2=5."

Would you stick? Or would back down and drown yourself into the herd?

Most people when reading the above...

How Will History Treat The Coronavirus Lockdown? With Prof. Denis Rancourt

You won't want to miss this very special Liberty Report! Former University of Ottawa physics professor Denis Rancourt joins today's program to examine the science behind government and media claims about the coronavirus outbreak. Does a national lockdown make any sense? Why did the scientists that governments listen to seem to get the numbers all wrong? And why have other scientists who challenged the accepted wisdom been silenced and ignored? What are the numbers? Why is the media only...

Next in Coronavirus Tyranny: Forced Vaccinations and 'Digital Certificates'

By Ron Paul

In my first week in the House of Representatives in 1976, I cast one of the two votes against legislation appropriating funds for a swine flu vaccination program. A swine flu outbreak was then dominating headlines, so most in DC were frantic to do something about the virus.

Unfortunately, the hastily developed and rushed-into-production swine flu vaccine was not only ineffective, it was dangerous. Approximately 50 people who received the vaccine subsequently contracted...

Resistance Strengthening: Small Business Defying Coronavirus Lockdown

From New York to Texas and beyond, small business owners are pushing back against local and state governments who have deemed their livelihoods to be "non-essential." Can the authorities stop this growing revolt? Plus, only government could bankrupt the medical system during a "pandemic" - US hospitals going broke.

Fed's Fake Prosperity Exposed: They Can't Hide Behind Coronavirus

The Fed's fake economy has burst. The stock market, even if it rises, cannot hide the damage that has been done. The virus, now known to be less deadly than the seasonal flu, cannot act as a legitimate excuse either. The un-American ideas of government micromanagement and Fed central planning of the economy have failed, and will continue to fail as long as they're clung to. The time to rebuild with the American ideas of liberty and sound money has arrived.
