Government Regulations Are The Wellspring Of Corporate Monopolization

By Liberty Report Staff

One of the biggest lies that Americans have accepted as truth is that we can't have a free market and we must have government regulations.

The propaganda is understood be that if we had a free market, corporations would become monstrous monopolies. No one would be able to keep them in check. What's needed is big government to "regulate" and prevent such a thing from happening.

A bigger Mother Goose fairy tale couldn't have been told.

NATO At 70 - Time For The Zombie To Die

If NATO were a person, it would be five years past retirement age. In fact NATO should have retired back in the early 1990s when its reason for existence - the Warsaw Pact - ceased to exist. Instead, new missions had to be created and new enemies had to be made to justify the massive behemoth that provides lush jobs for the well-connected and vast fortunes for the weapons makers. NATO must die and the sooner the better.

Let's say you're out for a night on the town, and you turn the corner of a crowded city street. You notice right away that there are big problems on this street.

On the left side of the street, you spot a criminal picking people's pockets and stealing women's purses. 

On the right side of the street, you see another criminal spraying bullets everywhere. He's not defending himself, but just aggressively shooting away.

You decide that you're not going to run away, but will d...

Should middle America be thankful for all the "jobs" provided by the military in areas like the National Guard? That's the argument of some pro-war progressives. It's dead wrong. The massive military budget is driven by the idea that "debt doesn't matter" - a false notion that is leading us to economic devastation.

Of Course We Need Profit-Driven Healthcare...The Problem Is Government-Protected Profits

By Chris Rossini

Politics and government are the prime residence of demagoguery and hyperbole. 

The latest episode of demagoguery consists of the argument that the problem with the medical industry is that it is "profit-driven." Such statements should be immediately understood as being absurd, but for many, who have been shielded from understanding what profits actually are, they're not.

What are we supposed to have?

A "loss-driven" medical industry?

That sounds right up the government's alley, do...

Where Are the Omelets?

By Lawrence W. Reed

On ne saurait faire une omelette sans casser des oeufs.

Translation: “One can’t expect to make an omelet without breaking eggs.”

With those words in 1790, Maximilian Robespierre welcomed the horrific French Revolution that had begun the year before. A consummate statist who worked tirelessly to plan the lives of others, he would become the architect of the Revolution’s bloodiest phase — the Reign of Terror of 1793–94. Robespierre and his guillotine broke eggs by the thousands...

Trump Tells the Truth: Sanctions Cause People to Suffer

By Ron Paul

This week President Trump admitted what the Washington policy establishment of both parties would rather be kept quiet. Asked why he intervened to block a new round of sanctions on North Korea, he told the media that he believes the people of North Korea have suffered enough. "They are suffering greatly in North Korea…And I just didn't think additional sanctions at this time were necessary,” he said.
