The People Waking Up: Coronavirus Lockdown Sparking Nationwide Protests

From Ohio to Wyoming to Michigan to North Carolina, Americans are increasingly furious over being thrown into house arrest over a coronavirus scare that by all accounts has been wildly overblown. Now they are facing unemployment and worse. With nothing left to lose they are taking to the streets. Meanwhile several US states are teaming up to defy President Trump's top down approach. Are we in a (political) race to re-open?

A Healthcare PATRIOT Act?

By Ron Paul

According to a story in Politico, the White House Coronavirus Task Force is considering creating a national surveillance system to track Americans health information. Supporters of this initiative claim it would enable the federal government to quickly identify areas in need of additional medical supplies and other assistance because the areas are coronavirus hot spots.

Of course, it is unlikely that this system would be limited to only tracking coronavirus patients. The government...

Fauci On The Ropes...Lashes Out At Trump

President Trump's coronavirus point-person Anthony Fauci is taking a beating after his warning of 240,000 Covid-19 deaths even after locking the country down has been revised downward to just 60,000. He's gone on the network news program in attempt to blame others for his colossal failure, but his CNN appearance over the weekend blaming Trump for not listening to him sooner has provoked a response from the president. Will Trump dump Fauci?

Led By Coronavirus Fake News, The Fed’s Depression Is Here — The Market Says 'Buy Gold'!

The biggest bubble that the Fed ever created has burst. We're now seeing the answer to the question: "What happens if everyone needs a bailout at the same time?" The Fed creating trillions of new dollars out-of-thin-air will only make everything much worse. A return to sound money is an absolute necessity, and only a matter of time.

The Bubble Documentary

By Liberty Report Staff

NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods co-wrote the film with Jimmy Morrison, a filmmaker who started a house painting business just in time to watch the market unwind.  Determined not to fall for the next bubble, Jimmy traveled over 35,000 miles to ask those that predicted the biggest crash since World War II:

Why does this keep happening and what can we learn from the past before it happens again?

The world premiere set a record at the Anthem Film Festival, when...

Fauci's Coronavirus Numbers Collapse - Why Still Listen To Him?

Anthony Fauci has dominated the headlines for weeks with his doom and gloom predictions of two million Americans dead from Covid-19. If we lock the country down, maybe only 240,000 will die he claimed. But even those numbers collapsed, with the new official prediction coming in under the normal flu numbers for 2018. Was it "social distancing" that saved us? Let's look at the states and countries that did not lock down - they should have massively higher deaths. Do they? 

The Appetite For Power Is Insatiable

By Chris Rossini

A vast majority of people have no overriding desire to rule over other individuals. If that were the case, and that was the default position for every individual, then humanity would've extinguished itself a long time ago.

Most people live their lives without trying to conquer their neighbor's land, or break into their neighbor's house, or pick pockets as others walk by.

The default position is harmony. You do your thing, and I'll do mine. You leave me alone, and I'll leave you...

Coronavirus Shutdown: Unintended - And Intended - Consequences

Tennessee experienced more suicides last week than coronavirus deaths. Alcohol sales are skyrocketing. The nation seems gripped by fear. What are the unintended consequences of shutting the country down over Covid-19 fears...and how many of these consequences were actually intended? More surveillance? End of habeas corpus?

End the Shutdown; It’s Time for Resurrection!

By Ron Paul

For many millions of Christians, Easter is a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Others may celebrate the arrival of spring and the promise of new life. Whatever ones beliefs, after several weeks of mandatory stay at home orders and the complete shutdown of the US economy over the coronavirus, this self-destructive hysteria must end and we must reclaim the freedom and liberty that has provided us so much opportunity as Americans.

To do that we should first understand...

Resistance Building To Coronavirus 'House Arrest' Orders...It's About Time!

Across the country, from political leaders, to small business owners, to parents who just want to take their children to the park, resistance is growing to the authoritarians who have effectively suspended the Constitution and placed most of the country under house arrest. Lawsuits are also challenging unlawful "stay at home" orders. What if all the hysteria-driven orders have actually made the virus outbreak even worse? More scientists are coming forward to argue for the "Sweden model" of...
