They hoped that Ron Paul's "retirement" meant they would no longer have to hear to the truth and deal with Ron Paul's massive and growing following. They hoped they could just forget it all like it was a bad dream. The neocons who have ruined our foreign policy and the totalitarians who are building the police state at home must be gnashing their teeth seeing that not only has he not been silenced since leaving the House, his reach and his influence is accelerating. A new television network, a new policy institute, and more: this is the Ron Paul Century! read on...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu seems frustrated to find that the Americans are harder to push than he famously once said. His Saudi crypto-allies appear to feel the same way.
"... what Kerry said on Thursday should disqualify him as a mediator for the peace process."
Interesting. These same Zionist types did not seem to mind at all when the openly Zionist Dennis Ross served their interest in his belief that the Israelis are "his people." read on...
What happened in Geneva on the US/Iran talks and why? Did the Iranians bring a proposal, or were the neocons lying as usual in claiming that this round failed due to Iranian blocking moves? Tom Woods plays devil's advocate on Iran negotiations! And what's next in Syria now that the Saudis decided to start writing more checks to the insurgents? read on...
Despite what they might say, today, November 11th, is Armistice Day. It is a day meant to be grateful for the end of a horrific war and the supposed end of wars. A day to pause and reflect on the horrors of an entire continent, an entire civiliztation destroyed by the madness of war. To mourn the dead, the senseless slaughter. read on...
When I was thinking of the URL for my new personal homepage, I considered many possibilities. Thanks also to all those who sent other suggestions. But I settled on RonPaulMD.com as reflecting a very important area of my life. To be a physician, and deliver 4,000 babies, was extremely fulfilling.
Many times, I see people wearing a “I Was a Ron Paul Baby” t-shirt. Once, when I gave a speech in Iowa, I was told the head of the convention center wanted to talk to me. She had her birth certificate, and this time, she said, she wanted a legible signature! I was delighted to sign it again. read on...
Remember the hopeful and optimistic "Arab Spring" narrative that the mainstream media introduced when Syria was hit by unrest in the spring of 2011? We were told by media outlet after media outlet that it was a pro-democracy movement made up of Syrians demanding more freedom and an end to one-party rule. The people were all with the revolution, we were told, which only reluctantly turned violent after Assad brutally suppressed the peaceful protests. The average Syrians, we were told, were all in favor of the overthrow of Assad. read on...
Journalist extraordinaire James Bovard explains in a Washington Times editorial Tuesday why, even though many in the media do not want to admit it, there is widespread and justified hostility toward the Transportation Security Administration. read on...
Eighty years after the Twenty-First Amendment to the United States Constitution ended the US government's prohibition on alcohol, Jeff Mosier reports in the Dallas Morning News that in elections Tuesday residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex cities of Arlington and Lewisville voted to legalize liquor stores in their cities. Mosier explains that the election results in these cities with respective populations of around 365,000 and 100,000 are part of a trend over the last decade of Texans voting to ease local legal restrictions related to alcohol. read on...
In keeping with recent practice of bombing the diplomatic facilities which oppose their struggle to overthrow the Syria government, the insurgents in Syria have hit the Vatican Embassy with a mortar shell today.
Targetting the Vatican embassy was likely no accident. As the US was on the verge of bombing Syria in late-August, the pope held a peace vigil at the Vatican attended by more than 100,000. As support for a US attack sagged among the American public and in Congress, this Vatican effort to head off a US war on behalf of the anti-Assad fighters was certainly of great significance. It may have been a deciding factor. read on...
House Intelligence Chairman Mike Rogers (R-MI) seems to be taking a page from his beloved NSA. In an effort to make the claim that spying on the rest of us is more necessary than ever, Rogers has thrown everything but the kitchen sink into the "terrorism" basket. In this way, he has greatly hyped "terrorism" deaths in 2012. read on...
