Politics of Freedom Update - June 15th thru June 21st




Ron Paul 2012 Podcast show

Summary: There's a major deficit in Ron Paul coverage in the week since he made headlines with his support of the NSA leaks and Edward Snowden, but Rand is still making headlines. And there's no shortage of news of concern for civil libertarians. Pundits continue to react to the news about the federal government's implementation of the Orwellian mass surveillance apparatus, and the concern that these technologies will be turned towards domestic opponents of government policy. News outlets are also beginning to take notice of the pronounced downturn in the economy, as predicted by free-market economists. Only a few short weeks ago, the corporate media were touting government's economic statistics that purported to show favorable trends in financial markets and a bear market for gold. Unfortunately, this was in complete ignorance of actual inflation rates, wage stagnation and continued easing by the Fed. Meanwhile, the Congress continues to work for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (aka amnesty). Senator Paul has sought to be the bridge between the left and right to fix the broken system, that would be fair for both immigrants and taxpayers. But sadly, the majority of politicians in Washington have no intention of halting the flow of illegals and securing the Treasury.
