Is the victim of an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh a whistleblower? I’m […]
What do we call it when the government outsources censorship to the private sector? And what about when those “private” companies are in bed with government? The latest social media purge of hundreds of alternative news sites guarantees that we will be less informed. Guarantees that our only inputs will be from the government-approved mainstream media outlets. They want to turn us into a nation of sheep. Will we allow them? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

In a column worth reading through, Joe Nocera at Bloomberg draws a lesson for policymakers about capitalism’s ferment of creative destruction. “The next time you hear somebody say that the dominance of Walmart or Amazon or Facebook can never end, think about Sears. It can—and it probably will.”
This piece of “journalism was about the airbrushing of history. Therefore, there is a great irony in the fact it has now been airbrushed” from Facebook’s platform.

By Gilad Atzmon | October 17, 2018 Despite the vast amount invested in Holocaust education and in spite of the fact that the Holocaust is the only compulsory subject in the British national history curriculum, British pupils seem not to follow the message of the rigid topic.

None of this is to say we shouldn’t have any rules in commerce. Not at all!

But the “level the playing field” analogy is a non-analogous and misleading metaphor because tariffs undermine the end of economic production: consumption.
I stated in the last few weekend rants that I have been listening to some amazing podcasts put forward by Michael Herzog, through his website "The American Awakening" at www.theamericanawakening.org.....
