As mentioned previously, the founders of Liberty Maven attended the FFF-sponsored Robert Higgs talk at George Mason University earlier this week. I agree that this was one of the most intriguing and entertaining speeches I’ve been to. Watch it here:

Ron Paul visited Ballou High School in Southeast DC a few weeks ago to speak to students as part of CSPAN’s Student’s and Leaders series.
This is Ron Paul in his element. He’s speaking to young people and he’s a teacher at heart.
He gives a talk and then gets some questions from the students. Watch the full video below from CSPAN. It is almost an hour long.

“Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people” – Henry Kissinger
Our food freedom is under attack! HR 759 has eclipsed HR 875 as a danger to America’s small farmers. Currently in committee (and more likely to pass), NOW is the time to act to stop this threat to our freedom to buy, grow and eat real foods. A vote is expected by Memorial day.

Ron Paul was interviewed by CNN Money today to complete his trifecta of media appearances.
Once again he defends the free market and scoffs at the now popular notion that the lack of regulation caused our troubles.

One of the most watched videos of the Ron Paul campaign was “Stop Dreaming” by Aravoth. He is out with another epic video edited beautifully about our financial future.
The video mixes footage of Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, and several others. Take 10 minutes of your time and watch it. You’ll likely be glad you did.

Here is Ron Paul from the floor of the House speaking out against the Auto Bailout among other things. I have to admit I love hearing Ron Paul get animated like this for what he believes in. His opening remarks are rife with sarcasm. He argues that bailing out the auto industry is unconstitutional and it is morally improper to take money away from one group to give it to another group. Closing these remarks he says:
“…But those two arguments are rather weak arguments…” (tongue firmly implanted in cheek)
He goes on to talk about the economic ramifications. This is classic Ron Paul. You must watch this.
“What does $15 billion dollars mean anymore?”
“We are on the road to nationalization!… without a wimper.”
“.. Car Czar? It is such an embarrassment. It is such an insult to us who believe in freedom, who believe in sound money and limited government. It’s such an insult to the whole idea that made America great!. And this is what it has come to? Bailout after Bailout….”

While watching this video I found myself continually looking for the puppet strings attached to Fred Thompson.
I expected Ron Paul to jump out at the end holding the puppet strings.
He never did. I respect Fred Thompson more today than I did yesterday. His voice still makes me yawn uncontrollably for some reason. But his words had me nodding, not off, but in agreement the entire time.
Watch Fred Thompson discuss our economic crisis with some biting sarcasm below.

In Ron Paul’s latest video released on his Congressional site he talks about his questioning of Bernanke yesterday. The video is a bit of a scholastic lecture on our fiat money system. During it, he claims, more than once, that our financial system has collapsed.

Ron Paul appeared on FOX Business News today following his grilling of Ben Bernanke on Capitol Hill. He accuses Bernanke and Paulson of price fixing among some other choice words. Paul’s contention is that they are fighting against what the market wants and their efforts to subvert the market will fail because the “market is more powerful than the central bankers”.
A favorite Paul comment:
“No I didn’t get answers, and I didn’t expect any.”
