The Military-Industrial Complex Has a Vote in War Too

by Ron Paul | May 5, 2021 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy

Even if “won,” endless wars like our 20 year assault on Afghanistan would not benefit our actual national interest in the slightest. So why do these wars continue endlessly? Because they are so profitable to powerful and well-connected special interests. In fact, the worst news possible for the Beltway military contractor/think tank complex would be that the United States actually won a war. That would signal the end of the welfare-for-the-rich gravy train. In contrast to the end of declared wars, like World War II when the entire country rejoiced at the return home of soldiers where they...

March Out of Afghanistan—NOW

by Ron Paul | Apr 21, 2021 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy

Last week President Biden announced a “full” U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan—the longest war in U.S. history—by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States. While this announcement is to be welcomed, the delayed U.S. withdrawal may result in Americans and Afghans dying needlessly for good PR optics back home. We all remember how many Americans died after President Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” stunt in Iraq. The war has been a disaster from day one. So why wait to end it? The previous Trump administration had negotiated an agreement for the U.S. to be out of Afghanistan by...

Joe Biden’s Threat Against the Fourth of July

by Ron Paul | Mar 16, 2021 | Featured Articles

Last week President Biden addressed the nation on the first anniversary of the coronavirus being declared a “pandemic.” It was a disturbing speech, warning us that the “hopeful spring” will only emerge “from a dark winter” if all Americans “stick with the rules.” Whose rules? His rules. The message from the president was clear: he will only allow us to have some of our freedoms back if we do exactly as he tells us. It was the language of extortion, of a bank robber who demands you do what he says or face the consequences. It was not the language of someone we are told is the leader of the...

Why We Must Impeach Joe Biden

by Ron Paul | Mar 3, 2021 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy, Politics

Last Thursday President Biden continued what has sadly become a Washington tradition: bombing Syria. The President ordered a military strike near the Iraqi-Syrian border that killed at least 22 people. The Administration claims it struck an “Iranian-backed” militia in retaliation for recent rocket attacks on US installations in Iraq. As with Presidents Obama and Trump before him, however, Biden’s justification for the US strike and its targets is not credible. And his claim that the US attack would result in a “de-escalation” in the region is laughable. You cannot bomb your way toward...

Ron Paul Calls Out Joe Biden’s Threat to Restrict Interstate Travel

by Ron Paul | Feb 18, 2021 | Featured Articles, Politics

Candidate Joe Biden promised not to abuse his executive authority or shut down the economy in order to fight the coronavirus. Instead, he said he would "listen to the science." An order limiting the ability of Americans to travel across state lines would violate all three promises. Such an order would be one of the most tyrannical acts of a president in American history. The only realistic way this order could be enforced is to militarize state lines. Is President Biden really willing to deploy U.S. troops to keep Texans from vacationing at Disney World? Restricting interstate trade and...

‘Libertarian Terrorists’

by Ron Paul | Feb 2, 2021 | Featured Articles, Libertarianism

The Department of Homeland Security issued on Wednesday a nationwide terror alert lasting until April 30. The alert warns of potential terrorist attacks from Americans who are “ideologically motivated” and have “objections to the exercise of government authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives.” The language used in this alert suggests that millions of Americans are potential terrorists. Second Amendment supporting, antiwar, anti-tax, anti-politics, anti-militarization, pro-life, and anti-Federal Reserve activists certainly...

The Warfare State’s Agents of Death

by Ron Paul | Jan 19, 2021 | Featured Articles

With the mainstream media still obsessing about the January 6th “violent coup attempt” at the U.S. Capitol Building, the incoming Biden Administration looks to be chock full of actual purveyors of violent coups. Don’t look to the mainstream media to report on this, however. Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real coups overseas. In their real coups, many thousands of civilians have died. Take returning Assistant Secretary of State Victoria...

Lloyd Austin Represents ‘Business As Usual’

by Ron Paul | Dec 18, 2020 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy

Libertarian educator Tom Woods famously quipped that “no matter who you vote for you end up with John McCain.” Unfortunately Woods was proven right for about the thousandth time this past week, as Washington again showed us that it is all about war. First, we learned that if Joe Biden ends up in the White House next month he intends to put a deep state member of the military-industrial complex in charge of the Pentagon. General Lloyd Austin will be only the second Defense Secretary in decades to require a special Senate waiver to serve in that position. Gen. James Mattis under President...
