Ron Paul Liberty Report

President Trump addressed the nation last night with an "update" on Iran. Some expected an announcement that hostilities would cease, some expected a ground invasion announcement. We got neither. As former CIA officer Larry Johnson wrote, it was like all of his recent Truth Social posts fed through AI to form a speech.

Daniel McAdams Mon, Mar 30, 11:39 AM (1 day ago) to me Bring The Troops Back. End This War Now! As we begin a new week, the media is filled with reports that President Trump is ready to approve a US ground operation against Iran, either to seize Iran’s uranium or to attack an island off the country’s coast. Thousands of US troops have sped to the conflict area to await President Trump’s decision. The President is on the verge of making a serious mistake to add to a series of deadly mistakes that have characterized this terrible war of choice against Iran. A US ground operation against Iran would only achieve the death of thousands of US servicemembers. Of course, if our Congress was doing its job, this debacle would never have started. Clear signals would have been sent to the President by Congressional leadership that in the absence of an imminent attack on the US, the US President must go to Congress to make the case for taking the country to war. Instead, what we got was a shrug of the shoulders from Capitol Hill that has already cost billions of dollars and too many lives. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DvnRltf-9w

Is it more market manipulation, or is President Trump really looking for a way out of the Iran war he launched last month. Either way, he may soon find that it's a lot easier to get out of a war than to get into a war. Also, Hegseth still breathing fire from the podium, giving out mixed messages from the Administration.

The Trump Administration has announced that thousands of US service members are in place for a ground operation against Iran. Their mission is unknown, but speculation is that they will be used to either take over an island in the Persian Gulf or to snatch Iranian enriched uranium. The Iranians have warned that any such move would be very costly for the US. Will Trump pull the trigger?

For decades, Ron Paul has called for closing all foreign U.S. bases and bringing all of our troops home. "We just marched in. We should just march out." But alas, this "American First" policy recommendation was ignored. Perpetual war was too engrained in the government and their special interest benefactors. Now, what should have been done voluntarily, is being done by force. The New York Times is reporting that 13 U.S. bases are uninhabitable in the Middle East as a result of Iran's response to President Trump's initiation of war. The recommendation remains unchanged -- close all the bases, and bring all American troops home! 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Anyone who has watched Congress for any time at all knows the Kabuki theater that is now taking place over the Administration's demand for an additional $200 billion - over the one trillion dollars already spent on the military - for Trump's war of choice on Iran. Will they fund it? Should we be at the edge of our seats? Hardly. Of course they will spend the money. It's not theirs, after all. It's ours.

As President Trump mobilizes thousands more US troops, including the 82nd Airborne, speculation that a US ground assault on Iran may be imminent is increasing. Troops are speaking out about lack of planning and are concerned that the mission would not really benefit the US. Meanwhile Sen. Lindsey Graham urges "another Iwo Jima" - where nearly 7,000 Americans were killed.

War Abroad and Authoritarianism at Home “War is the health of the state.” That phrase, coined by Randolph Bourne, explains why opposition to war is a priority of many libertarians. War allows governments to increase spending, taxes, and regulations in order to feed the war machine. Wars can justify measures that remain in place long after the wars end. An example of this is income tax withholding that was created to fund World War Two. The use of war as a justification for increased interference in the market is reason enough for libertarians to oppose war. However, war also enables the government to violate liberty. During the Civil War, President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, shut down newspapers, and instituted a military draft. The draft was also used in World Wars One and Two, as well as Korea and Vietnam. During World War One, Congress passed the Sedition Act, outlawing criticism of the government. Widespread violations of liberty are a hallmark of the ongoing “war on terror.” An infamous example of war being used to justify violations of liberty is the internment of Japanese Americans during World War Two. Given this history, it is not surprising that the Iran War may lead to crackdowns on free speech. Following criticisms of the media’s coverage of the Iran War by President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr made a post on Twitter telling broadcast networks that the FCC has the power to revoke their broadcast licenses if they do not fulfill their responsibility to act in the “public interest.” This was clearly a threat to revoke the license of any broadcast network whose coverage of the war displeases the Trump administration. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-fq-Yr8AQ

President Trump's pronouncements over the past few days have been increasingly contradictory and confusing, from stating that the US doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz to threatening Iran with a full infrastructure attack if it is not opened. With the war going badly - and Iran far from running out of weapons - is Trump starting to crack under the pressure? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Just because we don't get invoices in the mail, doesn't mean we don't pay dearly for the empire's senseless wars. Most of us Americans have been hammered our entire lives to pay for them. It was hoped that the long-train of disasters was coming to an end with the second Trump Administration. But alas, it has not. And the crushing bills are continuing to come in. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made many trips to the U.S. last year. And now here we are, in the middle of a gigantic mess in the Middle East (again). The widely anticipated expectation of President Trump putting "America First" and "Making America Great Again" seem like a fleeting memories now. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

NATO should have been disbanded when the Warsaw Pact was disbanded in 1991. Its continuance has been a drain on the American people ever since. But the Empire, despite its protestations, gains many benefits from keeping NATO around. NATO is one of the primary ways that the Empire maintains great "influence" over Europe. So will President Trump actually get out of NATO because they won't help him in his great debacle in Iran? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

As is becoming clearer from President Trump’s own statements and those of his staff, along with press reporting, the US has launched a major without the input of the experts we pay to advise the President on such matters. The State Department, Pentagon, National Security Council Staff, Defense Intelligence Agency, and NSA were simply bypassed because, as White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said, President Trump “had a feeling” Iran would attack. The President’s real estate developer son-in-law and friend reinforced that “feeling” when they returned from the second round of talks with the Iranian foreign minister and his team. However, as the news outlet Responsible Statecraft (RS) reported over the weekend, both son-in-law Jared Kushner and friend Steve Witkoff appear to have mis-represented those talks in a way that helped push President Trump toward war. No State Department officials were on hand to ensure the reporting was accurate. Also, arms control experts at home, according to the RS report, believe that “the duo appeared to have fatally misunderstood a series of basic technical and historical matters” regarding Iran’s nuclear program leading to inaccurate information conveyed to the President. Congress was completely out of the picture – seemingly uninterested in performing its Constitutional duty – and no case was made to the American people that they must sacrifice and die once again for a war in the Middle East. Trump’s repeated promises to not start new wars, especially in the Middle East, have turned out to be empty, and Republicans are set for a crippling defeat in the upcoming midterm elections. Iran had been warning for months – since the last US/Israeli surprise attack in June – that if they were attacked again they would not hold back on US bases in the region and that they would close the Straits of Hormuz. Trump and Netanyahu attacked anyway, and Iran has done what it said it would do. Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil is about to go out of control, and the global economy – along with the US dollar – seems about to implode. On March 6th, President Trump refused a UK offer of help, saying we don’t need help when we’ve already won the war. Five days later, at a rally in Kentucky, President Trump repeated that “We’ve won the Iran war!” It was his “Mission Accomplished” moment, because this weekend, just days after declaring victory against an “obliterated” Iran, Trump began begging other countries to send ships to help the US open the Strait of Hormuz. Thus far every country has declined, understanding that such a mission has little chance of success. Tragically, the war thus far has claimed at least 14 servicemembers. It is likely the toll is far worse than they are telling us. Every US military facility in the region is either damaged or destroyed. Billions of dollars of radar and other equipment are destroyed. Our allies in the region, because they allowed their territory to be used to attack Iran, have also seen massive retaliatory destruction. This is surely one of the worst military disasters in US history. There are no military options available beyond the unthinkable: the use of nuclear weapons. The only viable option that remains is one that was often urged in the Vietnam War: Just get out. Now! No return to US bases, no security guarantees to Gulf States. End the US empire in the Middle East and elsewhere. If not, it’s only going to get worse. -END- ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB3SaVXlbP0

After declaring several times that the US has completely won the war against Iran, President Trump has now backtracked, begging other countries to help open the Straits of Hormuz closed by Iran in response to the US/Israeli sneak attack. Thus far no takers have come up. Trump is in a massive bind. What's his next move? 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
