Ron Paul Liberty Report

White House counterterrorism advisor Sebastian Gorka has opened the door to consider conservative voices like Tucker Carlson "domestic terrorists." How? By claiming they are no longer considered conservative and thus can be considered under the White House counterterrorism strategy to be part of the Left. It is a word game at this point, but a very dangerous one, painting a target on critics of Trump's Iran war. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

In a shocking article appearing in the pro-war Atlantic, arch neocon Robert Kagan has declared a US defeat in its war on Iran. It is a defeat more painful and thorough than the loss in Afghanistan and even Vietnam, he argues. Now, with that loss, comes the pain. Economic. Reputational. And more. The world has suddenly changed. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Last week “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth insulted Americans by claiming that a 50 percent increase in the US military budget – from an incomprehensible one trillion dollars to an impossible one and a half trillion – was a “fiscally responsible investment.” “Thanks to President Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget, this War Department has moved from bureaucracy to business,” he said last Thursday. In a way he was right, though. The huge increase is much more about “business” than what is needed to protect the United States from potential invasion. But it isn’t the kind of “business” that most supporters of free markets would applaud. On the contrary, this is the business of transferring massive amounts of wealth from the struggling middle and working classes to the well-connected Beltway elite based on lies and scare tactics. The US mainstream media is crucial in manufacturing the fairy tale that if we don’t mortgage our children’s and grandchildren’s future to finance this obscene military budget, we will be attacked or invaded by some evil foreign power. It’s not difficult to do a little research and see why the mainstream – and even some “independent” – media outlets push these scare tactics: they are owned or funded by giant corporations with close ties to military contractors. This unhealthy relationship is known as “corporatism” – the intermingling of pseudo-private companies with the government. It is the precursor to actual fascism, where the government takes a stake in such companies. We’re getting there faster than most Americans understand. The whole scam is not about protecting the citizens of the United States. It’s about protecting the US empire overseas, which actually harms the citizens of the United States. Yes, they rob us to fund their empire and lie to us that it keeps us safe. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our constant military interventions on virtually every continent of the globe only build resentment among the rest of the world’s population. Anyone who thinks people overseas welcome US bombs has been watching too much Fox News or reading too much Washington Post. And what do we get for the most expensive military on earth – larger than the combined militaries of the next dozen or so countries? Not much. Iran’s military budget is less than one percent of ours, yet Iran destroyed or disabled every US military base in the Middle East. It turns out that Iran has destroyed dozens of multi-million dollar US spy drones – and several near-billion dollar spy radar stations – with their own drones costing mere thousands of dollars each. The US surprise attack was supposed to make Iran cower and beg for mercy, but it did the opposite: it showed that despite the trillions extorted from Americans for the most expensive military on earth, the US military can no longer win the wars that US presidents illegally force them into fighting. The US military continues to fight World War II – with massively expensive aircraft carriers that do not dare get close to combat – while warfighting has evolved into something entirely different. The only good thing about the Iran war is that it demonstrates how much the special interests have lied to us about the need to continue our suicidal military spending increases. It was never about protecting the United States. It is about protecting the ever-growing bank accounts of the special interests at the expense of the rest of us. It needs to stop. Now. -END- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhFOtWma4c4

After calling the Iranian counter-proposal "totally unacceptable," President Trump is threatening to reinstate the failed "Project Freedom" policy of escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz via a dangerous passage close to Oman. Will the tankers and cargo ships take the risk? Is war again on the horizon? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

As high summer electric bills are approaching, along with the high cost of putting gas in the car, Americans are feeling the pressure of yet another Middle East war that has nothing to do with defending America. Meanwhile, the president says that an oil price of $200 (i.e., double from the current price) would still be "worth it." Worth it for who? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's claim that the Iran war has cost the US $25 billion is laughable. The actual cost according to a new study is at least three times more than that.

Just two days into the US Administration's "Project Freedom," the project has been abandoned. No ships followed the US-claimed route out of the Hormuz Strait. It was a farce. But it did move markets as did its abandonment under the guise of yet another "deal" in the works. Which the Iranians have denied. What's going on? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a press conference today in which he rolled out the new White House line that Operation Project Freedom is separate from Epic Fury. That old war is over and we won. This is a new one and it will also soon be over. Presumably we will "win" again. What's going on here?

One of the industries hardest hit by the spike in fuel prices caused by the Iran War is airlines. Jet fuel prices have doubled since the start of the war. Airlines have reacted to the fuel price increase by raising fares and baggage fees, as well as by cutting routes. Raising prices is not a good option for “budget” airlines since their main appeal to consumers is their low prices. Increasing prices could cause these carriers to lose business. The financial strain from the increased fuel costs led discount airline Spirit to ask the Trump administration for a bailout. President Trump said a bailout would be conditioned on Spirit giving the government an ownership stake in the company. Spirit was unable to reach a deal with the government, so Spirit went out of business on Saturday. However, several other budget airlines are seeking a government bailout. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mOvV1t4Its

As gas prices continue to skyrocket in the US, President Trump has rolled out a new product, Project Freedom, which he claims will open up the Strait of Hormuz. Dubbing it a "humanitarian effort," Trump is fighting a propaganda battle to shift from being blamed for initiating aggression against Iran to looking like he is defending ships in the Persian Gulf.

President Trump started a war that he was voted to avoid, and that the American people do not support. The quagmire drags on, and continues to impose tremendous costs, not only on the American people, but the rest of the world as well. President Trump's repeated claims that he won the war don't bring down those costs. They keep rising. How long until the costs become unbearable? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

After slipping some unrelated measures to sweeten the pot, House Republicans - joined by many Democrats - voted to extend Section 702 of FISA. That means the US government can continue to spy on Americans without a warrant for three more years. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution explicitly forbids such activities. Will Americans wake up and realize their government works against them, not for them? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Left with no easy options, President Trump seems to be settling in for an extended period of the US "blockade" of Iran, banking on Iran blinking first.

Last weekend my Institute for Peace and Prosperity hosted another conference here on the Texas Gulf Coast. Not only did we have a full house attending the conference – which is in a way the most important thing – but in this era of profound disappointment and disillusionment, we struck a note of optimism thankfully due to our wonderful line-up of speakers. The main topic of the conference, titled “War is Back on the Menu,” was of course the disastrous decision by the Trump Administration to launch an unprovoked war against Iran – both last June and again on February 28th. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lafmAyUey1o

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Fox News that Iran cannot be allowed to continue controlling the Strait of Hormuz. The US is particularly angry that Iran has set up a "tollbooth" to charge cargo ships for the right to pass. While Washington claims that Iran is desperate for an end to the US counter-embargo, Iranian officials are taking their case to the big players in the region.

To say that the U.S. federal government is a little less than truthful would be the understatement of the century. It's expected that politicians bend the truth. When it comes to power and money, the incentive to lie is always there; and it's very often chosen. But lying can turn into an addiction ... a chronic addiction. When it's all corruption and lies, the downward spiral of society acts as a reflection of it. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Vice President JD Vance is said to be departing today, but thus far there are few signs.

Last week, President Donald Trump commemorated income tax payments being due by having DoorDash deliver food from McDonald’s to the White House. The delivery was intended to highlight the first year of tax-free tips. Removing tax on tips was part of the 2025 Big Beautiful Bill (BBB). As the sponsor of the first No Tax on Tips legislation introduced in Congress, I was obviously pleased to see this change in tax laws included in the BBB. The bill also included other good tax changes such as removing tax on overtime and extending the 2017 tax cuts. Unfortunately, the bill also increased federal spending and debt. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mukloP0YzmA

Blockades significantly disrupt economic stability and hinder growth by restricting the flow of goods, services, and resources. When trade routes are cut off, businesses face shortages of raw materials and products, leading to reduced production and increased costs. This often results in higher prices for consumers, inflation, and decreased purchasing power. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
