Did those evil Russians put Ron Paul 2008 on the map? This is just one of the weird allegations made by high-ranking Libertarian Party officials and their allies. Ron Paul Institute Director Daniel McAdams joins the Tom Woods Show to discuss the recent re-Tweet by Libertarian Party chairman Nicholas Sarwark of a bizarre, unsigned article claiming a huge Ron Paul/Donald Trump/Vladimir Putin conspiracy. Also, Sarwark suggested that Ron Paul is a "supporter" of the governments of Venezuela, China, and Russia (because he opposes regime change). Finally, old allegations about the British Helsinki Group are revisited and explained. An airing out of allegations in this Woods/McAdams podcast... read on...
RPI Director Daniel McAdams joined The News With Rick Sanchez to discuss how the neocons are again stovepiping intelligence and serving it up to a mainstream media eager for war. Seventeen years ago they did it about Iraq, now they are doing it on Iran. Same tactic, different country. And it seems to be working... read on...
Results released this month of a new Gallup poll of marijuana legalization supporters in America indicate that 60 percent of them view legalizing marijuana being “a matter of freedom and personal choice” as a very important reason for supporting legalization, while an additional 29 percent see this as a somewhat important reason. read on...
You may recall United States Libertarian Party Chairman Nicholas Sarwark, in a December of 2016 interview, denouncing prominent libertarian communicator Ron Paul’s support for states’ rights. In that interview, Sarwark said Paul, who ran three times for US president including once as the Libertarian Party nominee, “had policy prescriptions that were straight-up wrong and anti-libertarian.” read on...

In a new interview with host Scott Horton at the Scott Horton Show, prominent libertarian communicator and peace proponent Ron Paul discussed how Secretary of State Mike Pompeo presenting a “gross distortion” purposed to blame Iran for the harming of two ships last week in the Middle East fits in with a broader effort to “lie us into war” against Iran. “We should be awake from all their shenanigans,” Paul advises. read on...

Calling 911 is marketed as a means to obtain help and safety when danger arises. But, when cops arrive in response to a 911 call, they can make a dangerous situation more dangerous and even make it deadly. This can especially be the case when the individual who makes the 911 call or is the subject of the call has a disability or a mental health issue.
Rutherford Institute President John W. Whitehead expressed the problem pithily in his October of 2017 editorial “Don’t Call the Cops If You’re Autistic, Deaf, Mentally Ill, Disabled or Old”: “Trained to shoot first and ask questions later, police pose a risk to anyone with special needs whose disabilities may not be immediately apparent or require more finesse than the typical freeze-or-I’ll-shoot tactics employed by America’s police forces.” read on...

Watch today's Liberty Report... read on...
