The End Of Globalism - With Doug Casey

Is the globalism that seeks to concentrate power in a few unelected international bodies like the UN and IMF about to spectacularly crash? Will a new internationalism, driven by technology, replace the geographic nationalism of the 20th century? Doug Casey and Nick Giambruno join us in this very special episode of the Liberty Report...

Is "Drain The Swamp" The New "Hope & Change"?

By Ron Paul

We all want favorable changes in Washington. Of course, we're always promised favorable changes every election season. So far, Donald Trump's cabinet picks offer no reassurance that anything will be different this time around. Is 'Drain The Swamp' the new 'Hope & Change'? I discuss below:Watch the latest video at video.foxbusiness.com

An Open Letter to President-Elect Trump

By Jacob G. Hornberger

Dear President Trump:

You have a choice: to become an ordinary president, just like George W. Bush and Barack Obama, or one who goes down in history has having left an extraordinary legacy for freedom in America and the world.

Why do the ordinary? Why follow the path of Bush and Obama? Why not an extraordinarily different and positive direction—one that points toward liberty, prosperity, and peace?

Here are the three ways you could achieve such a legacy:

Looking Beyond The Trump-Carrier Headlines

By Chris Rossini

The headlines read that Donald Trump has saved 1,000 U.S. jobs. Carrier is not moving to Mexico. Trump isn't even in office and he's already "winning" for the American people, right? That's definitely going to be the takeaway by a majority of individuals.

But government is a massive smoke-and-mirrors operation. Citizens are always encouraged to focus on "the seen". In other words, you can "see" with your own eyes that 1,000 jobs will remain in America. But there is also "...

What Everyone Missed At The Flag-Burning Circus

By Chris Rossini

Donald Trump has once again shown his mastery of dominating a news cycle. Today, the President-elect published an absurd tweet about jailing or revoking the citizenship of someone who burns a flag! Very predictably, the mainstream media jumped up like a pack of Pavlovian dogs and went all in on the story.

America was thus destined for a day where right-wingers told us that Hillary supports the same thing as Trump, while lefties (hilariously) waxed poetic about "The Consti...

The Coming Fall Of Aleppo: Victory For Whom?

The Syrian government is said to have captured up to 40 percent of rebel-held east Aleppo over the past week, raising the likelihood that this major population center will fall from rebel hands.

Authoritarian Governments and "Education"

Centralized education that is dominated by government is very detrimental to freedom of thought. Government should be separated from education in the same way that it has been separatedfrom religious institutions. I discuss the tremendous challenges that we face on Radio Sputnik:

More Fake News: Who's On The Washington Post Blacklist?

The Washington Post recently featured a front page article accusing over 200 websites of being part of a vast Russian propaganda campaign to steal the election from Hillary and give the presidency to Trump. Major sites like Drudge and Zero Hedge are allegedly part of this vast conspiracy, as is the Ron Paul Institute. The Post article links to a "study" by an anonymous group as its source for the wild allegation. And that source calls for a federal criminal investigation of these alterna...

To Really ‘Make America Great Again,’ End the Fed!

By Ron Paul

Former Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher recently gave a speech identifying the Federal Reserve’s easy money/low interest rate policies as a source of the public anger that propelled Donald Trump into the White House. Mr. Fisher is certainly correct that the Fed’s policies have “skewered” the middle class. However, the problem is not specific Fed policies, but the very system of fiat currency managed by a secretive central bank.

Federal Reserve-generated increases...
