Ron Paul, Former Congressman from Texas, discusses his views on gold, central banks, and the weakened Republican Party. He speaks on Bloomberg Television's Market Makers, with Erik Schatzker and Sara Eisen, hosts of the show Inside Track. Dr. Paul also expressed skepticism about the highly touted Bitcoin virtual currency, calling it "too complicated" and stating: "If I Can't Put It In My Pocket, I Have Reservations." That makes two of us!

In the wake of the tragic Boston Marathon bombing, Dr. Ron Paul warned of the inevitable reaction towards more authoritarian measures by the Congress and the executive branch. In the latest Texas Straight Talk audio, the former Congressman notes the immediate resurrection of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) legislation that activists roundly defeated last year. The current version of the legislation is said to be even worse this time around, with the bill's sponsor touting it is a PATRIOT Act for the web!

Rand Paul returned to doing his customary media rounds last week following a few weeks of incredible headline-making. The Senator continued to defend his much maligned speech to the African-American student of Howard University and weighed in on hot-topic issues of the day like gun control, immigration, the Boston Marathon bombing and more. Sen. Paul rightly called out President Obama for blatantly exploiting the deaths of the Sandy Hook children for political gain, and using the parents of the deceased kids as stage props for a gun control agenda.

Following the release of his new homeschooling curriculum last week, Ron Paul continued to make news by launching his Institute for Peace and Prosperity. This is an interesting development, as it confirms that core of Dr. Paul's political organizations (Campaign for Liberty and Young Americans for Liberty) will not focus on foreign policy issues. This was reaffirmed by Rand's conspicuous absence from the Ron Paul Institute's opening press conference- an outrage to the revolution! Regardless, I would have assumed a wave of interviews and media coverage would follow Dr. Paul's recent initiatives, but the media has failed once again. Even most of the reliable allies of the liberty movement have seemingly dropped the ball on the importance of the Ron Paul Curriculum and the Ron Paul Institute for Peace on Prosperity! Likewise, I haven't found any broadcast coverage of the former Congressman's speeches at the U. of Florida, Brown University or the GOP Dinner in Knoxville. Very disappointing.

On Wednesday afternoon in Washington DC, Dr. Ron Paul formally launched the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. At the press conference, the libertarian-leaning politician said his new educational organization was needed because “governments reflect the people’s attitude,” and the current attitude was far too accepting of war. Rep. Walter Jones Jr. (R-NC), Rep. John Duncan (R-TN) and former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), all members of the organization’s advisory board, also spoke at the press conference, as did Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). Executive director Daniel McAdams explained the new Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity would not operate like a traditional think tank. Instead of merely publishing reports, he said the organization would have a lively website and hold seminars in various parts of the country. Video compliments of YouTube User: Daniel McAdams

In his latest Texas Straight Talk column, Dr. Ron Paul notes the waivers granted to politically connected celebrities (Jay-Z and Beyonce) in order that they travel to Cuba. After 50 years, can't the rest of us go if we so please? We should never be surprised that insiders of all kinds will be given exemptions from official government policy. Power corrupts!
