At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing earlier this week, Committee Chair James Inhofe (R-OK) warned that dealing with China's activities in the South China Sea is like preparing for World War III. He complains that the US doesn't even know who its allies are any longer. He warned of a long, protracted struggle. The hearing witnesses consisted of three "experts" from two neoconservative think tanks - all funded by the military industrial complex. Unsurprisingly, they agreed with Inhofe about a long struggle. Profitable. Tune in to today's Liberty Report... read on...
Appearing before the Senate, US intelligence community heads undermined each of President Trump's foreign policy positions and warned that foreign "enemies" would likely interfere in the 2020 elections. The Deep State, neocons, and the liberal #resistance all line up against peace and freedom. Tune in to today's Liberty Report... read on...
President Trump's National Security Advisor John Bolton made US policy toward Venezuela very clear in an interview on FoxNews yesterday: We're going to overthrow the government and take the country's oil. He gets points for bluntness, at least. But who are the "democratic forces" the US seeks to install to "restore Venezuela's constitution"? They were all trained by the same US government funded "regime change factories" behind the color revolutions of the Bush and Obama Administrations. In other words, they are the creations of the US government, not of the Venezuelan people. Tune in to today's Liberty Report... read on...
Where is Congress on issues that really matter? Venezuela? They don't want a debate because they all agree on interventionism. Syria? The only debate was to shut down any debate when the president proposed getting US troops out. Yemen? Nope. On NATO Congress voted to prohibit debate on getting out of that Cold War alliance. Nope - it's all about politics and scoring political points. Which is why we are mired in this phony debate about wall or no wall. Pure political grandstanding.

President Trump yesterday recognized Venezuelan opposition legislator as the legitimate president of the country and warned that "all options are on the table" if Venezuela's elected president moves against protestors or expelled US embassy staff who refuse to leave Caracas. US neocons applaud Trump's move. Does the US president finally have his very own "Syria" on his hands? read on...
The Democrat-controlled House followed the Senate yesterday in passing legislation forbidding the president from withdrawing from NATO and affirming undying US support for the outdated Cold War alliance. Is NATO really about defense? Or is it a jobs program for the military industrial complex? read on...
The decline and closure of the neocon flagship journal, The Weekly Standard, did not slow the neocons at all. They are back with a new publication funded by a left-wing billionaire, but preaching from the same neocon playbook. Why do neocons continue to change their stripes, from Trotskyites in the 1930's, to Reagan conservatives, to Hillary-ite liberals? read on...
MLK's family has been adamant and unanimous: James Earl Ray did not kill the civil rights leader. Many of MLK's associates share the view. We do know how the FBI and J. Edgar Hoover harassed King for years before his death. What might the conspiracy to kill King look like and why is it important 51 years later? read on...
Neocons like Sen. Lindsey Graham are blaming President Trump for yesterday's attack in Manbij, Syria, which killed four US troops. Graham claims that Trump's withdrawal announcement emboldened ISIS to attack the US. But does this make sense? Would ISIS do the one thing that would get the US to stay? Even if an ISIS member committed the suicide attack, does one lone attack signal a resurgence of ISIS? Or desperation? Tune in to today's Liberty Report... read on...
A shocker article in the Daily Caller this week blew the lid on what it's really like among all those "public servants" working in the Federal bureaucracy: about 85 percent of them do nothing at all related to their jobs. With thousands of "workers" furloughed, the government offices are actually working better than ever. Is there a lesson in this somewhere? Tune in to today's Liberty Report... read on...
