By Dr. Ron Paul
Last weekend several hundred of us gathered in Washington, D.C., at the Ron Paul Institute conference to again proclaim our dedication to the cause of liberty and our opposition to constant U.S. government assaults on that liberty. Our collaborators included old friends like Judge Andrew Napolitano, who explained that the Bill of Rights was not added to the Constitution to grant Americans liberties, but to recognize liberties already existing for all persons—regardless of nationality—by virtue of their humanity.

That is why the U.S. government was purposely or unwittingly in the wrong when it tried to argue that Wiki-leaks founder Julian Assange did not have the privilege of our First Amendment protections because he is not American. He has these freedoms because he is human.
Our rights and liberties are granted to us by our nature or Creator, so how do we get the government to stop interfering with the intention of our Creator? As I told our crowd at the event, one thing we must do is educate ourselves. We must read, study, and listen to others so that we can better share the message of liberty with others. That is the reason my Institute for Peace and Prosperity puts on its regular conferences: to help people learn about these issues so that they may better pass them on. That is why, even with current challenges, our movement keeps growing.
The good news, as I often say, is that it’s really not that complicated. As I told our group, one of the best ways of restoring liberty is simply to … end the Federal Reserve.
In many ways, the Federal Reserve is the greatest threat to our liberties. Politicians talk endlessly about the need to reduce inflation. They all recognize that it has become a serious problem and they each have their own plan to deal with it. But they ignore the true cause of inflation. The Fed is the engine of inflation. Ignoring this while claiming to fight inflation is just tinkering around the sidelines.
The Fed is the reason we have been able to be at war nearly constantly since 1913. Why are we constantly at war? Because the Fed was created to benefit the wealthy elites, and nothing enriches the wealthy elite more than constant war. The Fed prints the money for the wars and then its cronies pocket the money from the wars.
Does anyone really believe that the $200 billion we spent on Ukraine actually went to Ukraine? Of course not. It went to the well-connected, most of whom operate in a close radius to the D.C. Beltway.
The Fed creates divisions in our society. It pits the rich against the poor. Sure, the poor get food stamps, but the rich get much bigger food stamps through an evil called “corporatism.” And the poor being “helped” all those years with welfare from the Fed are now getting the bill. The bill comes in the form of inflation, which is a tax. If bread goes up 50%, the rich hardly notice. But the poor feel that increase very directly.
That is why adopting a “liberty platform” must first require these two important steps: understand the origin of our liberties and end the greatest threat to these liberties: the Federal Reserve.

Today we’re witnessing two genocides taking place against religious peoples, and naturally the Marxist co-opted media is silent to this Satanist agenda, who are in league with the more numerous deluded Marxist puppets, implementing Karl Marx’s 1843 directive for the “abolition of religion”, and the destruction of those civilizations “whose spiritual aroma is religion”* …
(1) The genocide of Muslims in China; and (2) the genocide of Christians in the Ukraine, where Soviet Ukraine and Soviet Russia are prolonging a war that would have been over two years ago with a Russian victory unless there’s another purpose for the war; to date over one-million Christians have been murdered under the cover of a fake war.
But Russia hasn’t existed since November 7, 1917, as the following identifies (and identifies the Marxist co-option of our institutions enabling the fake “collapse” of the USSR/East Bloc)…

1) Order of the October Revolution
2) Order of Lenin
(3) Order of the Red Banner
(4) Order of Victory
The Russian Orthodox Church was never purged of its all-KGB clergy! All 6,000 monuments of Lenin remain standing throughout Russia, zero being destroyed! Lenin’s Tomb still resides at Red Square!
How can the above be, you ask? Simple, the West conspired to not conduct the required verification of the fake “collapse” of the USSR, and naturally the Marxist co-opted media didn’t report this lapse…
President Reagan said, “Trust, but verify”.

VERIFICATION PROGRAM of USSR “COLLAPSE” NOT ACTIVATED/MARXISTS RECRUITED INTO CIA
When was the “collapse” of the USSR verified by the West’s intelligence agencies? Never! How can that be, you ask? Aren’t our intelligence agencies supposed to protect us from politicians who would sell America out because they were caught on film having sex with minors/transvestites/homosexuals/escorts of the evening? That would be the case, but in 1975 the chief of the CIA’s CounterIntelligence Staff (CI Staff), James Angleton, and 80% of the CI Staff, were purged from the CIA,** where upon the agency then commenced accepting Marxists for positions at Langley, namely the 1980 recruitment of John Brennan, who told his CIA polygraph examiner that he voted for CPUSA presidential candidate, Gus Hall, in the 1976 presidential elections, which resulted in John Brennan being catapulted up the ranks of the CIA in the intervening years of his employment there, to become Director of the CIA in 2013 [-2017].

* Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, Karl Marx (1843)
”The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.”
…and…
“The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.”
..and…
“It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world.”
Now you know what Marxists are referring to when they utter the phrase, “The Struggle”…
“The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.”
** With the purge of Angleton and his staff, KGB defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn became persona non grata at the agency…
“The basic weapon in the Soviet political armoury is the KGB with its 5 or 6 million secret agents inside the USSR. Together, the Party and the KGB have fabricated controlled political opposition in the main cities of the USSR and in the national Republics. Together they have chosen and trained the organisers, leaders and activists of the new ‘democratic’, ‘non-Communist’, ‘nationalist’ and ‘independent’ organisations which are mushrooming under the Soviet ‘multi-Party system’. Even non-democratic groups like the anti-Semitic ‘Pamyat’ movement are creatures of the regime. Gorbachev is not the creator of a true multi-Party system: he is not a Soviet Stolypin intent on saving Russia through capitalism.” – KGB defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn, ‘The Perestroika Deception‘, September-November 1990, p. 123.
…and…
“Official and unofficial Soviet statements have referred to resignations from the Party, to an overall loss in its membership and even to the possibility of its long-term disintegration. The New York Times of 4 November 1990, quoting the Central Committee paper ‘Glasnost’, gives a decline in membership of from over 19 million to 17.7 million. A more reliable figure can be derived from the representation at the Party’s 1990 Congress. This was attended by 4,700 delegates each representing 5,000 Party members – indicating a total membership of 23.5 million, a figure consistent with the increase in the strength of the Central Committee from over 300 to 412 members.” — The Perestroika Deception, KGB Major Anatoliy Golitsyn, (1995), pp. 122-123.
