Interested In Liberty? ... Keep This Question In Mind

By Chris Rossini

If not for the wonder of the human mind, liberty would have perished off the face of the Earth a long time ago. After all, it is the nature of government and power to constantly expand in size and scope.

Power is a lust that is never satisfied. 

With that being case, how in the world are we still here? Why hasn't power totally obliterated human liberty yet?

The answer lies in questions.

When you pose a question to yourself, your mind automatically starts searching for an answer. I...

Is a Militarized Police The Answer To Inner City Turmoil?

Ron Paul on War & Peace In The Age of Trump

Senator Rand Paul Speaks Out Against Trump Plan To Militarize Local Police

By Liberty Report Staff

Unfortunately, the Trump Administration is planning on rolling back former President Obama's ban on militarizing local and state police forces.

Local police are not meant to be warriors. They're not meant to look or act like an army. President Trump is planning on moving very far away from the U.S. Constitution that he swore to uphold.

Fortunately, Senator Rand Paul is speaking out against this planned action:

Americans must never sacrifice their liberty for an illusive an...

Will Congress and Trump Declare War on WikiLeaks?

Press Play to hear Ron Paul deliver his Weekly Update:By Ron Paul

The Senate Intelligence Committee recently passed its Intelligence Authorization Act for 2018 that contains a chilling attack on the First Amendment.

Paying The Banks To Gamble With Our Deposits?

By Chris Rossini

Most of us automatically keep our hard-earned money in the "banking system." It's the safe thing to do, right? Everybody else is doing it, and the little rectangular sign says that the money is "insured."

Since the government is honest, it must be OK. If government wasn't honest, surely CNN or MSNBC would let everyone know, right?

Once your money is deposited though, it becomes the bank's money, and they subsequently "owe" it back to you. Perhaps 99.999% of depositors don't real...

Blowback: Israel Threatens Syria Over Iran

US and allied interventionism in the Middle East has produced results in most cases the opposite from what was ostensibly promised. An Iraq government close to Iran, a Syria saved from a jihadist takeover by Russia and Iran, and so on. Israel was firmly aboard the "regime change" train but suddenly sees the shake-out not looking in its favor. What's next? More intervention?
