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, The High School Teacher

Marc Gallagher — Thu, 28 May 2009 02:41:30 +0000

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.

WARNING: Food Freedom Under Attack! HR 759 is in Committee & worse than HR 875

“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 says Osama is laughing at us

Marc Gallagher — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 03:19:40 +0000

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.

Watch the video here.

The Philosopher’s Stone with Ron Paul and Peter Schiff

Marc Gallagher — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:43:47 +0000

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.

Ron Paul, Bailouts Are An Embarassment

Marc Gallagher — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 12:50:03 +0000

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….”

Ron Paul Puppet Show Starring Fred Thompson

Marc Gallagher — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 04:14:01 +0000

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.

Ron Paul: Our Finanacial System Has Collapsed

Marc Gallagher — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:07:52 +0000

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 on FOX Business: They Are Price Fixing

Marc Gallagher — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:33:23 +0000

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.”

Ron Paul Talks With Cavuto About G20 Economic Summit

Marc Gallagher — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 15:35:28 +0000

Ron Paul was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on FOX News this morning regarding the G20 financial summit hosted by George W. Bush at the White House. I wish they discussed Bush’s sudden and recent championing of “free market capitalism”, but it was a bit more toward the standard Ron Paul rhetoric we have become used to.

He again says that these leaders don’t have a clue how to “fix” the economic calamity, and in fact, they can’t. He attacks the central bankers as the real movers and shakers in the cause of the mess saying they are meeting overseas, secretly, and we have no idea what they are doing since there is no transparency.

Ron Paul On This Weekend’s Global Financial Summit

Marc Gallagher — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 21:50:24 +0000

Ron Paul has released a new video discussing this weekend’s global economic summit with the G20 leaders. He expresses skepticism about the U.S. being able to maintain its economic independence against the push by Europe and China for a new reserve currency and more global centralized control.

George W. Bush is fighting against such centralized control, but how can we trust his words when they’ve been so far from reality in the last eight years? Ron Paul does not believe anything will be decided at this weekend’s summit, but believes it begins the discussion toward global economic planning.

Also of note is that Ron Paul will appear tomorrow around noon on the FOX News channel during a two hour special on the economic summit hosted by Neil Cavuto.
