Myth-Busters: Shaky Markets Looking To Fall?

It's been almost a decade since the last Federal Reserve financial crisis. They thought that unprecedented money printing (by the trillions) would fix things. It only made things much worse, promising an even bigger financial crisis to come. Ron Paul keeps the focus on the Fed on today's edition of Myth-Busters.

Mr. President: Close Down More "Advisory Councils"

By Chris Rossini

So President Trump closed down his "Manufacturing Council" and no one cheered?

What a shame.

Why was there a "Manufacturing Council" to begin with? It's not the job of the president to meddle with our economy. His job description says nothing about benefitting "manufactures" or "scientists" or "Silicon Valley" or anyone else.

These "Councils" are breeding grounds for the cronyism that has virtually destroyed the American Dream. If a CEO has the ear of the president, do you think...

The Truth About Yemen - With Vanessa Beeley

Why Cryptocurrencies Will Never Be Safe Havens

By Mark Spitznagel

Every further new high in the price of Bitcoin brings ever more claims that it is destined to become the preeminent safe haven investment of the modern age — the new gold.

But there’s no getting around the fact that Bitcoin is essentially a speculative investment in a new technology, specifically the blockchain. Think of the blockchain, very basically, as layers of independent electronic security that encapsulate a cryptocurrency and keep it frozen in time and space — like la...

The Gimme...Gimme...Gimme Mentality

By Liberty Report Staff

Have you ever noticed how many experts there are on "American values"? These characters are everywhere. They're always telling us about their laundry list of "American values."

One value that never happens to make the list is the unique American idea that set this country apart from all others --- Liberty. 

Instead, the term "American values" has been turned into a partisan grab bag of everything that is un-American.

Paul Krugman of the New York Times has a funny one for u...

End Of Iran Nuke Deal? What Comes Next...

Left-Wing...Right-Wing...They're All Socialists!

By Chris Rossini

There's a lot of "left-wing" vs. "right-wing" allegations being thrown around, especially after the latest violence in Charlottesville. We're told that "leftist" Communist groups are pitted against "far-right" Nazi groups.

That may well be the case, but it's important to realize that they're all Socialists!

The whole left/right stuff can be dropped. They're just different brands of Socialism.

It must be remembered that the U.S.S.R. stood for Union of Soviet *Socialist* Republics....

Attack Venezuela? Trump Can't be Serious!

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

He’s surrounded by generals and threatens war at the drop of a hat.

President Trump began last week by threatening “fire and fury” on...
