Newsmax’s Kenny Cody writes, “One of the most significant policy shifts over the last 5-10 years of conservatism has more than likely been the embrace of the anti-interventionist mindset.

Republicans in the House and Senate, such as Rand Paul, Thomas Massie, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar and others have aggressively stood against the promotion of endless war in the halls of Congress. This includes advocating for the withdrawal of troops overseas and in Middle East countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as voting to repeal the 2002 Authorization of Use of Military Force.

The most recent important U.S. policy shift has been the right’s take on war.

Figures such as @RandPaul, @RepThomasMassie, @mattgaetz, @RepMTG, @laurenboebert, and @DrPaulGosar have shifted the @GOP‘s take on anti-interventionism.

This did not just start within the last 3 or 4 years…

…during former Congressman Ron Paul’s presidential campaign, he talked on and on about the dangers of an interventionist foreign policy abroad fiscally, morally and pragmatically. Paul argued that the United States should not act as the world police or burn taxpayer money feeding the military-industrial complex for the sake of establishing an international stranglehold on reputation abroad.

Most Republicans at that time looked at the position as heresy, seeing as the GOP continuously defended former President George W. Bush’s Iraq War efforts for nearly a decade.

However, the tide indeed turned when former President Donald Trump started to advocate for similar positions on the Iraq War and endless war in general during the 2016 Republican presidential primary debates.”

Ron Paul writes at Mises.org, “As my son Rand said on a recent Liberty Report, thousands of people died because Fauci refused to consider the proven effectiveness of natural immunity against Covid. He and his colleagues were determined to deny any outpatient treatments and insisted on vaccines as the only way out. Now, as we see the vaccines performing so poorly versus natural immunity, their whole strategy lies in tatters. Will anyone apologize to the relatives of all those who died?

Fox News reports, “Sen. Rand Paul pinned blame for thousands of monthly coronavirus deaths on Dr. Anthony Fauci over his bias toward vaccines.

‘I would venture to say that thousands of people die in our country every month now from COVID because [Fauci’s] deemphasized the idea that there are therapeutics,’ Paul, who is also a physician, said in an interview on the Ron Paul Liberty Report published Monday.

Paul explained that Fauci has a long history of a ‘bias’ toward vaccines, stretching back to his work on AIDS.

‘I think Fauci is of the philosophy that vaccines are incredibly successful and are the way to go versus therapeutics, for example. So with regard to AIDS, he was involved as the AIDS epidemic came up, he wanted to develop a vaccine,’ he continued in the interview with his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul.

‘There’s nothing wrong with that. He wanted to develop a vaccine. Vaccines can be great for polio or smallpox or wonderful. It didn’t actually work for AIDS.’

Paul has previously said that monoclonal antibodies ‘are one of the most promising treatments for the virus’ after a person has been infected, but that misinformation on the antibody treatment plagues ‘government bureaucrats.”

Senator Rand Paul joins the Liberty Report to discuss the massive errors – driven by arrogance – committed by White House coronavirus advisor Anthony Fauci. Dr. Fauci’s insistence on ignoring natural immunity and his refusal to consider therapeutics have cost thousands and thousands of lives.

Sen. Paul also explains why the coming mid-term elections will be Fauci’s worst nightmare.

Ron Paul warned that the original War on Terror was destined to be turned inward. I mean, as long as we’re playing the ‘who gets credit for warning us’ game, let’s get real.

Yes he was.

.@RonPaul was right.

A government that will lock you up for

* selling fresh milk
* sharing information on the internet
* growing a plant
* refusing the draft
* paying with gold

is a government that will have no problem forcing you to be injected with a needle full of DNA/RNA.

FEE’s Jon Miltimore writes, “The growing problem of social media censorship is a thorny issue for libertarians. As private companies, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook have the right to decide what content they choose to allow on their platform. (Although the government has no right to intimidate these companies into censoring, as it evidently does.) That said, many see the cultural values of viewpoint diversity and the free exchange of ideas as the cornerstones of a tolerant society and classical liberalism.”

But why did it happen in the first place? How often does it happen?

And would you have got your channel back so quickly – if at all – if you were not Ron Paul?

The post Why did YouTube remove Ron Paul’s channel? appeared first on Liberty Tree.

Former Republican Congressman Ron Paul voted for the U.S. to go after the Taliban after 9/11 because that group was harboring al-Qaeda, who had attacked the U.S. After that mission was accomplished fairly quickly, Paul spent the next twenty years wondering why America was still in an unwinnable war with no clear mission in a faraway land.

But Ron Paul also had another idea after 9/11. Titled the “September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001,” Rep. Paul introduced a bill that would give congressional authority to hire private individuals or entities “to seize outside the geographic boundaries of the United States and its territories the person and property of Osama bin Laden, of any al Qaeda co-conspirator, and of any conspirator with Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda who are responsible for the air piratical aggressions and depredations perpetrated upon the United States of America on September 11, 2001.”

It got no traction. Paul was mocked for it. Politico called it “wacky.”

After 9/11, @RonPaul advised targeted pursuit of Bin Laden & Al Qaeda through the issuance of letters of Marque and Reprisal, a constitutional power granted to Congress but rarely used.

You know what’s wacky? Spending trillions of dollars and sacrificing so many lives to fight a war that has left the U.S. and Afghanistan worse off than before. What is wacky is trying to punish the Taliban but instead rewarding them with full control of their country again and billions in U.S. weapons to maintain their power.

For 20 years. THAT’s wacky.

No, instead we could have sent special forces or private contractors to hunt down specific members of al-Qaeda and brought them to justice for far less money and suffering. As Ron Paul said of the Afghanistan war ending according to The Hill’s Eric Brakey, “How could the US war machine and all its allied profiteers make their billions if we didn’t put on a massive war?”

We should have listened to Ron Paul. Just put that last sentence on repeat for most things.
