Pentagon on Russia Invasion: 'Just Kidding'

Tuesday January 25, 2022

After weeks of hysterically hyping the story that Russia is poised to invade Ukraine, Pentagon Spokesman John Kirby walked way back as Ukraine's own government officials called nonsense on the narrative. Was the whole thing just bluster for ratings? Also today: Capitol Hill Cops spying on social media of staff and visitors for no reason? Don't miss today's Liberty Report...

A Time for Introspection

Tuesday January 25, 2022

undefined

With the crisis over Ukraine getting bigger by the day, this would be a good time for the American people to engage in some serious introspection, especially given the recent withdrawal of US forces from their forever deadly and destructive war in Afghanistan. 

One option, of course, is to continue business as usual. That’s what is clearly going on today. Congress continues to dole out hundreds of millions of dollars to the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA, the three principal components of the national-security establishment. The Pentagon and the CIA continue to maintain their foreign empire of foreign military bases in different parts of the world, along with their massive empire of domestic military bases. In the meantime, the Pentagon and the CIA have succeeded in reviving their old Cold War racket against China and Russia and continuing their never-ending Cold War racket against North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela, with North Vietnam no doubt being kept on standby status.

The other option is to put a stop to all this dangerous and destructive mayhem, which necessarily involves changing the United States in two fundamental respects:

First, restore America’s founding foreign policy of non-interventionism. This would entail abandoning all US foreign military bases, including the Pentagon’s and CIA’s torture and prison center at Guantanamo, Cuba, and bringing all US forces home and discharging them into the private sector. In other words, no more foreign empire of military bases, state-sponsored assassinations, kidnappings, coups, wars of aggression, alliances with dictatorial regimes, foreign aid, and regime-change operations.

Secret of ‘Microwave Weapons’ Targeting US Diplomats Revealed

Tuesday January 25, 2022

undefined

US diplomats and security officials suffering from a spate of unexplained health problems were victims of Russian microwave weapons, we were told time and time again. But now the CIA admits Moscow wasn’t actually behind “Havana Syndrome.” The story fits a disturbingly familiar pattern of misinformation.

With each passing week, the list of discredited allegations against Russia grows and grows. Time and time again, Western governments and the media have sprung into action to inform us of some new evil plot, only to backpedal later when it became clear that there was nothing to it.

Take, for instance, the multi-year saga that was Russiagate, built on the idea that Donald Trump was a Russian agent. There are still some believers, but for the most part people lost interest once it became clear that it was a load of baloney and that the “Steele Dossier” that sparked it off wasn’t worth the paper it was written on.

Then there were the claims that Russia was arming the Taliban, that it had inserted malware into the Vermont electrical grid, that it had bankrolled Brexit via British businessman Arron Banks, and so on. All are now discredited.

Biden Administration's Ukraine Freak-Out: Pretense For War?

Monday January 24, 2022

The Biden Administration, followed by lapdog UK, appears determined to ratchet up tensions in Ukraine to the point where war is inevitable. From the publicity stunt of evacuating the US Embassy in Kiev to - laughably - accusing Moscow of planning a Ukraine coup, a Biden Administration sinking in public opinion quicksand appears to be grasping for the war option. But...even Ukraine is putting on the brakes! Watch today's Liberty Report...

Anonymous Officials Claim There's An Evil Russian Plot Again But The Evidence Is Secret Again

Monday January 24, 2022

undefined

Major western news publications are running a story about a sinister plot by the Russian government, and—you may want to sit down for this—the sources of the report are anonymous, and the evidence for it is secret.

The New York Times reports that according to anonymous individuals within the US and British governments, Russia is currently plotting to topple the existing government of Ukraine in some way using some method and then somehow install a puppet regime that is sympathetic to Moscow using some sort of means. What specifically those means and methods might be are not revealed to us in this very serious news report.

"The communiqué provided few details about how Russia might go about imposing a new government on Ukraine, and did not say whether such plans were contingent on an invasion by Russian troops," the Paper of Record informs us. "British officials familiar with the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the intent was both to head off the activation of such plans as well as to put Mr. Putin on notice that this plot had been exposed."

America’s Most Dangerous Unknown Man

Monday January 24, 2022

undefined

The US Senate will soon vote on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s nomination to a second term. One of the senators opposing Powell is Elizabeth Warren. I don’t often agree with Senator Warren, but I do agree with her assessment that Powell is “dangerous.” However, Warren actually doesn’t understand what makes Powell, or any Fed chairman, intrinsically dangerous to liberty and prosperity.

Biden's Ukrainian Albatross

Sunday January 23, 2022

undefined

Then-Secretary of State Colin Powell is given credit for popularizing the "Pottery Barn" rule of foreign policy. Though he denies using that exact phrase, in arguing against what became the disastrous 2003 US attack on Iraq Powell made the point that, as in Pottery Barn, "if you break it, you own it."

Bush and his neocons - ironically with the help of Colin Powell himself - did indeed break Iraq and the American people as a result "owned" Iraq for the subsequent 22 years (and counting). It was an idiotic war and, as the late former NSA chief Gen. Bill Odom predicted, turned out to be "the greatest strategic disaster in American history."

Attacking and destroying Iraq - and executing its leader - not only had no value in any conceivable manner to the United States, it had negative value. In taking responsibility for Iraq's future, the US government obligated the American people to pick up the tab for a million ransacked Pottery Barns.

There was no way out. Only constant maneuvering and manipulation to desperately demonstrate the impossible -  that the move had any value or even made any sense.

'I Ain’t Dying in the Ukraine'

Saturday January 22, 2022

undefined

Less than a week after the US claimed they had intel which showed that Russia was planning a false-flag operation in order to induce a conflict with Ukraine, the Ukrainian self-proclaimed state known as the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR), which has received assistance from Russia in the past, is now accusing the US of planning a false-flag operation of their own. 

Both accusations are similar, accusing the other side of using commandos to commit acts of terrorism in order to instigate a conflict. The accusation coming from the DNR seems baseless due to there not being any proof for their claims. As for the US’s accusations however, they do not make sense. “Ukraine is the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe, that’s before it’s been bombed…so if it’s bombed it’s going to be in even worse shape. So Russia inherits an absolute nightmare. What’s that going to do to Putin’s popularity at home?... He got back Crimea without bloodshed at all, and that boosted his popularity. If he goes into Ukraine, just for the fun of it, and loses a few thousand Russians and inherits this huge, messed up, worthless country…there’ll be no benefit.” said Daniel McAdams on the Ron Paul Liberty Report. 

While the DNR’s accusations may seem baseless, what is to be made of the US’s accusations? It is shocking that the US is now admitting false-flags are real, since they have denied their planning of and participation in them throughout America’s history. History should show, however, that their accusations are not to be trusted and there is something deceiving behind them. Keep in mind too, there are many Islamic extremists residing in Russia who very well may have received CIA training and may be keen to US intel they plan to act on, so there is some more weight to the possibility that the US may be planning their own false-flag event.

Unmask America

Saturday January 22, 2022

undefined

Enough is enough. It is time to stop wearing masks, or at the very least to eliminate mask mandates in all settings. 

This is especially urgent for children in schools and universities, who suffer the effects of masks for long hours each day despite being at exceedingly low risk for death or serious illness from covid.

We have a responsibility, once and for all, to reject the ludicrous, ever-shifting narratives underpinning masks as effective impediments to the spread of covid infections.
Seriously people—STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus 

—former US Surgeon General Jerome Adams in February 2020. 
The story changed from "masks don't work," to "masks may work," to "masks work and you must wear one." Now the narrative switches yet again: "cloth masks don't work, so you should wear a surgical or 'well-fitted' mask," or even wear two!

American Airlines throws face mask hissy fit

Friday January 21, 2022

undefined

An American Airlines plane headed to London was more than hour into its flight when its pilot decided to turn around and head back to the departure point, Miami, because a female passenger declined to wear a face mask.

What a petty, unnecessary move.

On top of that, the airline then canceled the flight, screwing over 129 passengers who were told to exit, stage right, the plane in Miami, alongside the woman.

And now American Airlines is patting itself on the back for a job well done.

“We thank our crew for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience,” the airline said in a statement.

American, no doubt, is hiding behind the January 2021 announcement from the Federal Aviation Administration of a “zero tolerance” policy for unruly passenger behavior — defined by this coronavirus crazed government we now have in place in the United States as anyone who dares disobey the government dictates.
