Ron Paul on the Drug War, Federal Reserve, and Killing of Dallas Cops

Posted on by July 10, 2016

To understand the conditions in America that can contribute to tensions with police and even potentially individuals being motivated to kill cops as occurred in Dallas, Texas on Thursday, it is important that people look at the United States government’s war on drugs and the Federal Reserve. Ron Paul Institute Chairman Ron Paul presented this argument in a recent Fox Business interview with host Deirdre Bolton.

When asked by Bolton to name “one measure” that Paul thinks could alleviate some the racial or class tensions in America, Paul responded with two. First, Paul suggested, end the war on drugs, and, second, end the Fed.

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Nobody Can Accept Attorney General Lynch is Neutral in Clinton Case

Posted on by June 30, 2016

Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and former New Jersey state Judge Andrew Napolitano, speaking Thursday with Fox Business host Stuart Varney, reacted strongly to United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch having met privately with Bill Clinton this week.

Former President Bill Clinton is married to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton has long been under criminal investigation by employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) — an agency administered by Lynch’s Department of Justice. Cutting to the chase, Napolitano concludes, “The appearance of impropriety is so profound; no one could accept that [Lynch] is now neutral in this case.”

Ron Paul Predicts Voters Will Be Drawn to Trump and Clinton, Not Libertarian Candidate

Posted on by June 29, 2016

As a guest Tuesday on the CNBC show Futures Now, Ron Paul predicted that American voters, “as we get closer to the election,” will be motivated by “who they hate the most” to make a choice between the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees instead of choosing the Libertarian Party alternative. Paul, who notes that he has been through this process himself as the 1988 Libertarian nominee, also says that this year’s Libertarian presidential ticket is presenting itself with “mostly Republican viewpoints” instead of a message that would really appeal to people contemplating voting third party.

Ron Paul: Second Party Needed to Counter Republican and Democrat Warmongers

Posted on by June 21, 2016

Speaking earlier this month with host John Stossel on Fox Business, former United States House of Representatives Member and presidential candidate Ron Paul said that Americans need a second party rather than a third party. Paul elaborates that the Republicans and Democrats in charge “work together all the time” as if they are in one party instead of two. Focusing on foreign policy, Paul points to the coalition of “hawkish Democrats and also neocon Republicans” in favor of war as an example of the effective one-party system.

In the interview, Paul also assesses that the Libertarian presidential ticket is not providing a compelling alternative to this one-party rule and that Libertarian vice-presidential nominee Bill Weld “is hardly a libertarian.”

Nazis Have Rights Too

Posted on by June 20, 2016

Suffolk County, New York police arrested Edward Perkowski on Thursday after the police allegedly found in a raid of his home items including tens of thousands of dollars in cash, several guns and knives, ammunition, a bit of marijuana and illegal mushrooms, and some bomb-making instructions. Oh yeah, the town of Brookhaven condemned Perkowski’s house to boot. This appears to be yet another example of a government cracking down on people for nonviolent actions. In this case we have a convergence of the wars on cash, guns, and drugs, as well as government’s intolerance of free speech.

Here is another important aspect of this story: Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini is stirring up fear that Perkowski and his brother Sean, who was also arrested, are dangerous because they are Nazis. The brothers might even have been planning a mass killing like we saw in Orlando, Florida last week, Sini suggests.
