Greece's vote against the EU bailout offer raises as many questions as it answers. What happens next? We know the debt will not disappear. Eventually it will have to be liquidated and Greece will have to start over if it is ever going to be a "normal" country again. On today's Liberty Report, Ron Paul offers his suggestions for a way out of the Greek crisis... read on...
Hillary oversaw US arms shipments to terrorists fighting in Libya and Syria according to Judge Napolitano. Why is no one interested in the story? Both parties support regime change. The half-billion dollar program to train "moderate" Syrian rebels is a disaster. Part of the reason Greece's credit card is maxed out is that the death-dealers in western capitals convinced them to spend an obscene level of their GDP on weapons. This and more as RPI Director Daniel McAdams joins Jay Taylor to look at the week that was on the Ron Paul Institute website... read on...
Is a color revolution underway in Armenia? The US and EU have long wanted to break Armenia from its free trade agreement with Russia and it looks like US-sponsored NGOs are behind the protests in the capital. Plus, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter urges Germany to re-militarize and the US may be provoking a dollar crisis by pushing the Russians toward the Chinese. The foreign policy week in review with RPI's Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor. read on...
Did Congress finally discover that there were neo-Nazis fighting in Ukraine? Did the US/Soros coup in Macedonia succeed? Why doesn't Congress care that Obama fights an unauthorized and illegal war in Iraq and Syria? RPI's Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor are back to look at the week that was...and what to expect. YouTube below and MP3 available here. read on...
The US failure in Iraq and Syria becomes more obvious as ISIS gains ground; new military spending bill funds the president's wars, but forbids debate on them; a color revolution in Macedonia funded by George Soros and the US taxpayer. This and more as RPI's Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor look back at the week that was. read on...
What a surprise: Viktoria "F- the EU" Nuland visited Ukraine this week and the US-backed government subsequently launched a massive artillery attack against the independence-seeking eastern provinces. This pattern has been repeated numerous times, particularly when a high-ranking State Department or CIA official visits. Asked by RT whether Kiev is beginning a major operation against the East with the blessing of Washington, RPI Director Daniel McAdams points out that the US has yet to condemn the Ukrainian government for its many violations of the ceasefire which indicates that the new attacks are in keeping with US foreign policy. read on...
What's the latest on NATO's war games near the Russian border? Should we be cheering the recent court decision that NSA's phone collection program is illegal? US support for the Saudi attack on Yemen means starving civilians and a rise of al-Qaeda. Join RPI's Daniel McAdams and Jay Taylor for a review of the week in foreign policy. read on...
This week US Secretary of State John Kerry met with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in Washington where he admitted that there were some differences between the US and EU on approaches to Russia. RPI Director Daniel McAdams appeared on RT to discuss what the US secretary of state might have had in mind by this admission, and whether we can expect the Europeans to continue to toe the American line on punishing Russia for its Ukraine policy... read on...
Why does the US have the largest prison population in the entire world? One reason is the massive incentives to send Americans to the corporatist-run prison-industrial complex. The Ron Paul Liberty Report with Ron Paul and co-host Daniel McAdams of RPI welcomes special guest Will Grigg to discuss how the state of Idaho is seeking to lock up parents who seek to treat seriously ill children with non-intoxicating cannabis oil. read on...
When President Obama welcomed Iraqi prime minister Abadi to Washington last week he glowed with optimism over the US fight against ISIS. The US is making "serious progress" against ISIS, he said, and "what is clear is that we will be successful." RPI Director Daniel McAdams is not so sanguine over the US "fight" against ISIS, because as he tells RT, the US still has no idea what ISIS is or how it was created. ISIS is the product of US interventionism in Iraq and the idea that more US interventionism will eliminate the problem is illogical... read on...
