Ron Paul Liberty Report

The US intelligence budget for the fiscal year ending September 30th saw a massive increase in spending - the largest increase in a decade. Where is all that new CIA and NSA money going? Will it keep us safe and free...or the opposite?

According to a new study by experts at the University of Sussex, the death toll in Yemen after years of Saudi aggression may be eight times more than estimated. Will the whispers of concern in Congress over the US role in these massacres begin to be more audible? Will more Senators and House Members join the efforts to curb the violence?

Well...he's partly right.

Mass murder at a Pittsburgh synagogue over the weekend and bombs in the mail last week. Why the seeming increase in crimes motivated by hatred and extreme divisions in our society? Are we going off the rails? Do we allow too much free speech?

As the markets keep dropping, President Trump keeps the blame on The Fed. Being one of the most secretive and unaudited institutions in America, The Fed prefers to operate in the shadows. While Trump isn't criticizing central planning per se (which is what he should be doing) will blaming The Fed work?

Can the small Mexican town of Cheran serve as a model? They banned politicians and found nearly everything improved. Filmmaker Luke Rudkowski tells us what he discovered when he investigated. Also today, Luke's take on the war on independent media.

President Trump has dispatched his top people, including CIA director Haspel, Secretary of State Pompeo, and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, to try and quell the increasing outcry over the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khoshoggi. The message was clear: we need to deflect this world-wide anger toward Iran. Will they succeed?

President Trump has threatened to send the US military to confront a reported mass march of migrants from Central America toward the US border. Is it a good idea? What are the origins of the 'crisis'? Who benefits? Who is at fault?

What to do about the killing of the journalist?

President Trump signaled over the weekend that he would withdraw from the 1987 INF nuclear treaty which prohibited missiles and missile launchers with a range from 500KM to 5,000KM. Is leaving the treaty in the US interest, as Trump claims? Who's cheating? What are the real reasons Trump's getting out? China?

The economy is not a machine, and the Fed is not a mechanic. Terms like an "overheating" economy," and "stepping on the gas," or "slamming on the brakes," are all nonsense. The idea that that anyone is capable of "running the economy" is a pure fairy tale. Ron Paul discusses this very popular myth.

The United Arab Emirates hired a US-based private military contractor company run by an Israeli-American to provide American military-trained special forces to assassinate members of a Yemeni political party. What's wrong with this picture?

The attacks on free speech are not coming from uniformed government officials shutting down newspapers. But that doesn't mean they are not coming from the government. How are "social media" companies and government working together to turn us into a nation of sheep?

Nikki Haley was among the most outspokenly pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian US diplomat in history. She took Washington's previous policy of unwaveringly backing Israel at the UN to a whole new level. With Nikki gone, will US policy become more even-handed in the Middle East?

Don't look now...but another meltdown is brewing.
