First Class TSA Practices Must Go

By Walter E. Block

I recently travelled from New Orleans to Lake Jackson, Texas.
 
One thing struck me as I contemplated this trip. Should I drive instead? True, it would take about a six-hours by car, but when you add up all the modern air travel hassles – the demand that you arrive there two and sometimes even three hours before take-off, the groping, the compulsory masking (well, they’ve lightened up on that a bit, but who knows for how long), picking up and then dropping off a rental car, an en...

Is Washington’s Dangerous Ukraine Boondoggle Starting to Unravel?

By Ron Paul

​Last week the world stood on the very edge of a nuclear war, as Ukraine’s US-funded president, Vladimir Zelensky, urged NATO military action over a missile that landed on Polish soil. "This is a Russian missile attack on collective security! This is a really significant escalation. Action is needed," said Zelensky immediately after the missile landed.

But there was a problem. The missile was fired from Ukraine – likely an accident in the fog of war. Was it actually a Russian missile, ...

The "Great Reset" Must Fail -- The Sooner, The Better

Those who could never "structure" the world, have no chance of "restructuring" it. Those who could never "set" our world in place, have no chance of "resetting" it either. The idea that human beings (or their technologies) can control the world and everything in it, is both illogical and dangerously irrational. The problem is not in proving why ideas like the "Great Reset" cannot work. That's the easy part. The problem is in limiting the amount of economic damage and human suffering that such re...

Was FTX A Democrat Money-Laundering Scheme?

​One thing you will not see is the mainstream media looking into failed crypto-exchange/ponzi scheme FTX. Why? It's founder, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was the second largest Democrat Party donor after George Soros. SBF's parents were part of the financial deep state. And, to top it all, FTX was involved in sending millions of dollars to Ukraine. If this were a Republican scheme, the NYT and WaPo would be all over it, but because it was to the benefit of the Democrats and Ukraine, it remains just a...

Did Ukraine Try To Lie Us Into WWIII?

After a Ukrainian S-300 missile struck Polish territory - killing two civilians - the Ukrainian president immediately claimed that Russia attacked a NATO member country and that NATO must act without hesitation against Russia. In other words, launch WWIII. Was he lying? Meanwhile, a lame duck Congress is expected to vote another possibly $50 billion for the bottomless Ukraine money pit. Will Republicans finally stand up?

Which Party Won The Elections? The War Party, Of Course!

Writing in Responsible Statecraft today, Connor Echols effectively makes the depressing case that no matter which party controls Congress, it's always the war party in the driver's seat. Also today: So...the FBI had infiltrated the "Jan. 6th insurrectionist" groups months before Jan. 6th? What did they know and when did they know it? Also...what happened to the antiwar left?

As 'Election Day' Becomes 'Election Week," Something Has Broken In 'Our Democracy'

It has been nearly a week since 2022 election day in the US. Despite the endless propaganda that "vote counting takes time," the fact is there is no reason why hundreds of thousands of votes still have not been counted. Anomalies abound. What's broken and how can it be fixed? Watch Here

“Stimulation”, not the Cure for Inflation!

By Stratton J. Davis

There is one characteristic common in Americans that may ensure their doom in the fight against the current inflation they are facing: their own willful ignorance. While it has been stressed by many (including this aurhor) that economic shutdowns imposed by the Federal and State governments, along with historic mass money printing by the Federal Reserve during the CoronaVirus hysteria were the main catalysts for the inflation we have today, another driving factor for this cur...

A Tale of Two Midterms

By Ron Paul

Those searching for an explanation of why there was no “red wave” giving Republicans huge gains in Congress in this year’s midterm election should compare this year’s election with the midterm election of 2010. In 2010, Republicans gained a net 63 House seats. While Republicans then did not gain control of the US Senate, they did gain six Senate seats.

These Republican victories in 2010 were propelled by the Tea Party and the liberty movement. These movements became prominent during th...
