Ideological Opponents of Liberty: A Who's Who

By Chris Rossini

Our lives are ruled by the ideas that dominate them. If the ideas of liberty, peace and prosperity excite you, and you want to do something about it, it's probably time to find out what you're up against. The opponents of liberty are many. Liberty advocates are outmanned, but not outgunned. Nothing is more powerful than the truth.

It's always a good idea to know your opponents. Understand them inside and out. How do they think? What do they believe? What do they say? Read...

Raqqa/Mosul: Politicians Fiddle As Middle East Burns

While America's eyes are on the presidential election, US troops are fighting alongside the US-backed "Syrian Democratic Forces" to take Raqqa from ISIS control. A new ground war has begun in Syria, with the US and Turkey making plans to govern Raqqa when ISIS is gone. Apparently Syria has no say in the matter.Watch The Liberty Report LIVE

Regardless of How America Votes, Americans Want a Different Foreign Policy

By Ron Paul

I have said throughout this presidential campaign that it doesn’t matter much which candidate wins. Both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are authoritarians and neither can be expected to roll back the leviathan state that destroys our civil liberties at home while destroying our economy and security with endless wars overseas. Candidates do not matter all that much, despite what the media would have us believe. Ideas do matter, however. And regardless of which of these candi...

Myth-Busters: Election Edition

We've apparently reached another presidential election. It's a time when many believe they're able to exercise a say in what happens with the government. Yet, despite all prior campaign promises and votes cast, Americans are (once again) disgusted with the government that they chose in years prior. It's like a dog that chases its tail, never realizing the nature of the situation. Ron Paul squashes election myths on today's edition of Myth-Busters.Watch The Liberty Report LIVE

The Rise of Mandatory Vaccinations Means the End of Medical Freedom

By Shaun Bradley

Mandatory vaccinations are about to open up a new frontier for government control. Through the war on drugs, bureaucrats arbitrarily dictate what people can and can’t put into their bodies, but that violation pales in comparison to forcibly medicating millions against their will. Voluntary and informed consent are essential in securing individual rights, and without it, self-ownership will never be respected.

ISIS: Mortal Threat Or Paper Tiger?

Was ISIS created and/or supported by the US and its allies to do the dirty work of "regime change" in Syria? Is that why it seems the US war on ISIS is proceeding at such a leisurely pace?Watch The Liberty Report LIVE

Just Abolish The FBI

By Jacob G. Hornberger

Clinton’s assets within the mainstream press are on the warpath over FBI Director James Comey’s decision to advise Congress that the FBI had discovered additional evidence in his investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Given the possibility that the announcement could influence people to vote against Clinton, Clinton’s supporters are saying that Comey should have kept the information secret until after the election.

They have it wrong. Whatever effect Come...

LATEST TREND: "Urban Planners" Intentionally Making Traffic As Bad As Possible

By Thomas DiLorenzo

Have you noticed that traffic congestion in your city always seems to get worse and worse, year after year? Have you also noticed that local governments rarely, if ever, do anything about it? Or that the things that they do actually make it worse? If you have noticed these things and assumed that it is yet another example of the inherent ineptness of your typical bungling bureaucrats you may be dead wrong.

The latest trend in “urban planning” is to intentionally make traffic...

New Poll: Americans Feel Less Safe After 15 Years Of War

The numbers are convincing. Despite government and media propaganda in favor of these past 15 years of radical US interventionism overseas, most Americans are fed up. They feel less safe after trillions have been spent, hundreds of thousands killed, and societies torn apart in the "war on terror." Americans are out of sync with government and the media elites.
