Big Business Loves Government Regulations (Facebook Edition)

By Liberty Report Staff

This may come as a surprise to many people, but Big Business loves government regulations. It's surprising to most because it runs contrary to what they've been "taught" in the government's schools and by the government-licensed mainstream media.

The dominant belief is that the businessman wants the free market, but we "need" government to "regulate" him.

Big Corporations love this big lie, and they LOVE that the public believes it.

The truth is that Big Corporations do no...

US Sanctions: The Source Of Imperial Executive Power

Sanctions are the foreign policy of choice for the United States. There are sanctions on sanctions and sub-sanctions. Sanctions on countries, companies, individuals, and more. While we have long argued that sanctions never work and only make life miserable for civilians, they also empower an imperial US presidency totally out of reach of Congress.

As We Marched...

By Liberty Report Staff

In 1944, one of America's finest journalists, named John T. Flynn, published a book entitled "As We Go Marching." (You can download a free e-book here.)

Keep in mind that the book was published during World War II. Flynn could see the writing on the wall. A massive 'Pentagon' was recently built, and he could tell that a new America would emerge from this war, and it wouldn't be an America devoted to the ideas of peace and non-interventionism. It would be a war machine.

The Fed Corrupts Society: Is It Intentional, Or Out of Ignorance?

A corrupt monetary system must infuse corruption throughout the entire society. America's monetary system run by the Federal Reserve, which is a Congressionally-created monopoly that has the power to create money out-of-thin-air, is the poster boy of institutionalized corruption. Sound money is the only way out. Ron Paul discusses on today's Liberty Report!

Don't Be Fooled...Socialists Are Not One Big Happy Family

By Liberty Report Staff

Socialists do not all want the same thing. They all advocate the use of violent force against individual property and individual liberty...that much is the same. But how, when, and where the violent force is doled out, and how the stolen loot is divided up is a whole different ballgame.

Each Socialist wants his/her own delusion to be imposed on everyone else. That's job number one. Every other Socialist can be a fellow traveler and come along for the ride, but in the end...

Hunger Games: Four Years Of Saudi/US Aggression In Yemen

This week marks four years of Saudi bombing in Yemen. US participation in the destruction of Yemen began under Obama, but sadly President Trump has done nothing to end the slaughter. While hospitals are bombed and two-thirds of the population faces starvation, US lectures to the rest of the world about upholding human rights are seen as a hypocritical farce.

Escalation: Is Russia In Venezuela A New Cuban Missile Crisis?

A Russian military transport arrived in Venezuela this past week bringing tons of aid and also nearly 100 Russian military advisors. Reportedly, this included cybersecurity experts. Moscow claimed this was pre-planned and related to a nearly 20 year old cooperation agreement with Caracas. US neocons looking for regime change are claiming it is a new Cuban Missile Crisis. Who's right? Is Venezuela about to escalate out of control?

Since Our Nature Is To Perpetually Seek Profits... Let's Profit BIG!

By Chris Rossini

[This article is an addendum to the article: To Hate Profits...Is To Not Understand Profits ]

It's human nature to constantly seek profits, while at the same time trying to avoid losses. Every decision that we make, and every action that we take, is intended to improve our life from our perspective. We're constantly trading our current set of circumstances, for another more desired set of circumstances.

The cost of each action requires (at a minimum) our limited time, and any ene...

Snowstorms or Snowflakes?

By Lawrence W. Reed

There are two basic prisms through which we can see, study, and prescribe for human society: individualism and collectivism. These worldviews are as different as night and day, and they create a great divide in the social sciences. That’s because the perspective from which you see the world will set your thinking down one intellectual path or another. 

No Two Alike
I think of it as the difference between snowstorms and snowflakes. A collectivist sees humanity as a snowstorm,...
