Ron Paul

In the post-meltdown world, it is irresponsible, ineffective, and ultimately useless to have a serious economic debate without considering and challenging the role of the Federal Reserve.Most people think of the Fed as an indispensable institution without which the country's economy could not properly function. But in END THE FED, Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. What most people don't realize is that the Fed -- created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia -- is actually working against their own personal interests. Congressman Paul's urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America's economic policy for future generations.

A collection of statements Congressman Ron Paul has made over the past 30 years dealing with foreign policy from the date he was first elected to Congress.

This Much Is True: You Have Been Lied To· The government is expanding.· Taxes are increasing.· More senseless wars are being planned.· Inflation is ballooning.· Our basic freedoms are disappearing.The Founding Fathers didn't want any of this. In fact, they said so quite clearly in the Constitution of the United States of America. Unfortunately, that beautiful, ingenious, and revolutionary document is being ignored more and more in Washington. If we are to enjoy peace, freedom, and prosperity once again, we absolutely must return to the principles upon which America was founded. But finally, there is hope . . . In THE REVOLUTION, Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has exposed the core truths behind everything threatening America, from the real reasons behind the collapse of the dollar and the looming financial crisis, to terrorism and the loss of our precious civil liberties. In this book, Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.Despite a media blackout, this septuagenarian physician-turned-congressman sparked a movement that has attracted a legion of young, dedicated, enthusiastic supporters . . . a phenomenon that has amazed veteran political observers and made more than one political rival envious. Candidates across America are already running as "Ron Paul Republicans.""Dr. Paul cured my apathy," says a popular campaign sign. THE REVOLUTION may cure yours as well.

In Liberty Defined, congressman and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with his most provocative, comprehensive, and compelling arguments for personal freedom to date. The term "Liberty" is so commonly used in our country that it has become a mere cliché. But do we know what it means? What it promises? How it factors into our daily lives? And most importantly, can we recognize tyranny when it is sold to us disguised as a form of liberty? Dr. Paul writes that to believe in liberty is not to believe in any particular social and economic outcome. It is to trust in the spontaneous order that emerges when the state does not intervene in human volition and human cooperation. It permits people to work out their problems for themselves, build lives for themselves, take risks and accept responsibility for the results, and make their own decisions. It is the seed of America. This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Paul's position on

Twelve-term Texas Congressman, Presidential candidate, and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ron Paul returns with a highly provocative treatise about how we need to fundamentally change the way we think about America's broken education system in order to fix it.Whether or not you have children, you know that education is vital to the prosperity and future of our society. Yet our current system simply doesn't work. Parents feel increasingly powerless, and nearly half of Americans give our schools a grade of "C". Now, in his new book, Ron Paul attacks the problem head-on and provides a focused solution that centers on strong support for home schooling and the application of free market principles to the American education system. Examining the history of education in this country, Dr. Paul identifies where we've gone wrong, what we can do about it, and how we can change the way we think about education in order to provide a brighter future for Americans.

In 1982, Ron Paul served on the U.S. Gold Commission to evaluate the role of gold in the monetary system. In fact, the Commission was his idea. It was carrying forth a promise made in the Republican platform. Ron couldn't pick the members, so from the beginning, the deck was stacked. The majority was dominated by monetarists, who saw gold as too scarce and paper as just fine. Ron Paul's team was ready, however, with this marvelous minority report. Rarely has a dissent on a government commission done so much good! The result was The Case for Gold, and it was the greatest result of the commission. It covers the history of gold in the United States, explains that its breakdown was caused by governments, and explains the merit of having sound money: prices reflect market realities, government stays in check, and the people retain their freedom. The scholarship and rigor impressed even the critics of the minority. Ron and Lewis Lehrman worked with a team of economists that included Murray Rothbard, so it is hardly suprising that such a book would result. It still holds up as an excellent blueprint for moving beyond paper money and into the age of sound money. In particular, Ron favors complete monetary freedom to use any commodity as money, to make contracts in any money, and an end to the monopolization and printing power of the Federal Reserve. There is a strong piece of history in this book. Not since the 19th century has a political figure made such a sweeping and devastating case for radical monetary reform. This congressman ran circles around even the experts at the Fed. A dazzling performance indeed, and an inspiring and learned book.

In his latest book, Swords into Plowshares, Dr. Paul reveals an intensely personal side as he reflects on growing up during World War II. The book also provides a powerful critique of the corruption and corrosion produced by a 20th century full of war and killing. Ever the optimist, however, Paul leaves behind the ashes of a 20th century of war to finish with a stirring, liberating view of the future we may choose if we turn from war and violence.

When the economic history of our times is written, one man will emerge as the prophet of both the financial collapse and the disasters associated with government Ron Paul. He alone among the political class sounded the warnings and sees the way out.This economic manifesto collects his greatest speeches and debates over the last 30 years, and provides documentary evidence that he is not only a master of the topic; he has provided a coherent explanation of nearly everything the government has done wrong in this area since he first entered public office. He also provides a way out, as implied by the free market, honest money, and private property.Dr. Paul has consistently battled for all three.Economics is topic about which most politicians are abysmally ignorant. As this books shows, Ron Paul is a master of the topic and the nation's teacher on a vast range of economic issues. He addresses monetary policy during critical times such as the late 1970s inflation mania, and was a lone voice pointing to the real cause of Federal Reserve monetary policy.Whereas most members of Congress are intimidated by Fed officials, Paul's confrontations with Greenspan are documented here word for word. In addition, he reveals the social and economic effects of loose credit, and shows the ill-effects of bailouts. He addresses high taxes, regulation, trade restrictions, and bravely denounces sanctions against foreign countries for fueling international tensions.He also explains his view of free trade, for the real thing but against misnamed treaties that embroil international traders in bureaucracy.He covers welfare, bureaucracy, war, and a a host of other economic topics in what is surely the most comprehensive, intelligent, and revealing book on economics ever written by a U.S. political figure -- all informed by the Austrian tradition of thought that has so influenced his thinking.

Book distributed with permission from Ron Paul.Here is Ron Paul's political manifesto, a courageous book on civil liberties and the rights of Americans that are relentlessly under assault from government. It was written in 1987, on the 200th anniversary of the Constitution, and is back in print for the first time. It is here that Dr. Paul provides his most extended thoughts on what it means to be a constitutionalist in the tradition of Thomas Jefferson. He connects violations of individual rights to an interventionist foreign policy and the supposed needs of national security. Here he blasts the draft and draft registration, impositions on the right of individuals to own guns, restrictions on the freedom to speak and write, and draws out the links between all these policies. Paul further discusses the tie between individual liberties and sound money. When a nation's money is controlled by the people instead of the state, they retain their essential freedoms. But when money is monopolized by government with no tie to a commodity, the state is in a position to ride roughshod over our liberties. Other issues discussed include the true meaning of patriotism, the moral law as it applies to politics, the meaning of leadership in a free society, the nature of the state in light of his experiences in Washington, and the historic and ever-lasting conflict between the individual and the state.

The book is a quick read that covers the whole history of monetary destruction, providing information that most people have never heard or thought about. In that sense, it is the perfect conversation starter, and it could inspire more reading and activism for sound money. Author Ron Paul has been the leading champion of sound money in the Congress. He explains why sound money has meant the gold standard. The monograph is written in the clearest possible terms with the goal of explaining the basics of paper money and its effects of inflation, business cycles, and government growth. He maps out a plan to bring about a dollar that is as good as gold, one that would be protected against manipulation by government and central bankers. Part of that strategy is the minting of a new gold one but the more far-reaching plan involves a redefinition of the dollar and complete monetary competition. This monograph first appeared in 1981, and it has been in wide distribution ever since. But we've never had an edition this beautiful, this affordable, and this handy.

This is Ron Paul's "Farewell to Congress" delivered on November 14th, 2012. Yet this is not reminiscence of good times spent in the halls of power. Rather, in this booklet, you will find a devastating denunciation of the evils perpetrated by the Federal government and the "psychopathic authoritarians" who seek to swell its power, as well as a clarion call for what he calls an "intellectual awakening" and a return to freedom. Dr. Paul sums up and presents with strong conviction the principles he has held fast to during his entire career. Neither is this a "retirement speech". Rather this is a "goodbye to all that", as he kicks Washington's dirt off his feet, and enters what is sure to be the most productive period of his life. Fittingly, Lew Rockwell writes the moving Ron is the anti-politician. He tells unfashionable truths, educates rather than flatters the public, and stands up for principle even when the whole world is arrayed against him.It’s Ron’s truth-telling and his urge to educate the public that should inspire us as we carry on into the future.

Here is a compilation of speeches and writings from America-first Rep. Ron Paul on a wide range of important topics. Perfect for introducing others to Ron Paul or familiarizing yourself even better with his constitutional ideology. Edited by Chris Petherick, former editor of American Free Press. Softcover, 286 pages

The mainstream media obsessively focuses on the "big battles" between the political left and right, particularly in Washington. We become more polarized as a nation, but the differences between the Republican and Democratic parties are for the most part superficial. Both parties are pro-war and anti-civil liberties. Both support the surveillance state and Big Brother. Both endorse the warfare/welfare machine that enriches the well-connected and impoverishes the rest. Both continue the lie that bombing more people overseas will keep us more safe at home. But there is a growing movement that the media would prefer to ignore. They do their best to keep it off the radar screen. They are afraid because it is a philosophical movement rather than a superficial pseudo-movement. Liberty is on the march like never before and armies of opposition cannot stop this idea whose time has come.Twelve-term Congressman and three-time presidential candidate Ron Paul is the father of the modern Liberty movement, which by many accounts was launched ten years ago with a spontaneous mock Boston Tea Party in 2007. His 2008 and 2012 presidential runs energized a new generation and put Liberty on the map. The movement continues to grow even with the various political sideshows that vie for people's attention.This movement is not Democrat versus Republican. It is authoritarian versus pro-liberty.In his latest book, The Revolution at Ten, Dr. Paul looks ahead at the future of the movement he helped launch. He tackles central planning, the military empire, cultural Marxism, the surveillance state, the deep state and more. How can we continue to work toward Liberty and against the authoritarianism that creeps in from every crack? Read Dr. Paul's how-to guide for the next ten years of the movement.

In “The Great Surreptitious Coup,” Former US Congressman and three-time US presidential candidate Ron Paul documents America’s distinct and worrisome departure from the values of our Founding Fathers and the Enlightenment ideals they embraced. Dr. Paul traces the origins of Western Civilization all the way back to Sumeria and on the way stops in on Genghis Khan for a look at the importance of the pursuit of truth on civilization’s path toward progress.Dr. Paul pin-points the decline of Western Civilization to the “Progressive” era, which originated the “war on truth” and the rise of nihilism. He views our current nihilism-infected society to be the product of a “coup” against the origins of the United States. He writes, “The Coup’s goal was to replace our current political and economic system, which was built on knowledge accumulated over many centuries and inspired by the principles of personal liberty and natural law as guides for advancing civilization.”The rise of the “national security state” to usurp the American republic was a key component in the coup and the culmination of that rise was the murder of JFK, RFK, and Martin Luther King by US deep state actors.Finally, Dr. Paul provides us a way out of the mess that has been created by the surreptitious coup and the rise of truth-hating nihilism. It will not be an easy road to follow, but, as he writes, “With the right leaders, nihilism will be rejected and the higher law of truth will emerge.”

If you want to understand why the world is the way it is today, look no further than Congressman Ron Paul, whose prescient speeches predicted the War on Terror, The Housing Bubble, the rise in gas prices, The Great Recession, and another economic collapse yet to come.

A unique approach to the abortion question from a man who has served in the capacity of both lawmaker (member of Congress 1976-84) and physician who has delivered thousands of babies and witnessed the abortion dilemma firsthand.

O pensamento cristão é o fundamento sob o qual a civilização ocidental se desenvolveu, abrindo espaço para a valorização do ser humano. Católicos e evangélicos foram os operários da construção de um Ocidente que entroniza a pessoa humana como a destinatária de direitos inalienáveis, e fortalecer o argumento pró-vida é uma destas tarefas. Diante do risco social, judicial e legislativo que o pensamento progressista tenta consolidar, na contramão da valorização do ser humano, obras como esta do médico obstetra e congressista Ron Paul, firmadas em argumentação sólida, são imprescindíveis, a socorrer aqueles que claudicam em sua defesa pública. O estudo sobre a vida humana é um meio de redenção da mente, sobretudo daqueles que são seduzidos pela retórica do aborto.

O termo "liberdade" é tão comumente usado que se tornou um mero clichê. Mas será que sabemos o que significa liberdade? No que ela implica? Como ela afeta a nossa vida cotidiana? E mais importante, será que podemos reconhecer a tirania quando ela nos é vendida disfarçada de liberdade?Em Definindo a liberdade, o congressista e autor best-seller Ron Paul retorna com seus mais provocativos e convincentes argumentos a favor da liberdade individual. O livro é organizado por tópicos, em ordem alfabética, possibilitando uma leitura agradável, porém, o que é realmente notável é o conteúdo. Lúcido e sutil, profundo e radical, surpreendente e polêmico, o objetivo do doutor Paul foi transcender todas as suposições da política moderna e repensar o que significa viver num ambiente de liberdade. Não se trata de algo instituído ou concedido pelo governo, mas o contrá é a ausência do controle governamental.Este corajoso e apaixonado livro trata-se de um marco na história literária, e com ele, Ron Paul poderia se tornar o Pai Fundador de um novo mundo livre.

Now you can enjoy more than 100 speeches from the esteemed Congressman Ron Paul, gathered together, organized, and with cleaned-up audio!Much has been said about Congressman Ron Paul. But in forming an opinion of the man, perhaps it's best to go straight to the source and hear his own words. Here are collected more than 100 key Congressional speeches by Ron Paul, given on the floor of the US House of Representatives.Spanning over a decade, these 100-plus speeches cover topics such as civil liberties, monetary policy, and the follies of war. Taken together, they paint a portrait of Congressman Paul as a constant fighter for his ideals, as well as a prescient observer of world affairs. He warns about Osama bin Laden three years before the 9/11 attacks, and cautions against deposing Saddam Hussein six years before the Iraq War. He forecasts a housing bubble more than a decade before its burst in 2008 and teams up with Sen. Bernie Sanders (who makes a brief cameo in one of these speeches) against corporate welfare back in 2002.These speeches, given on the Congressional Floor and recorded by Congressional microphones, are in the public domain. But they have been compiled, organized, and edited, and the audio quality has been cleaned up for your convenience. Speeches are organized by topic, with a table of contents added for ease of browsing, and the date of each speech is given. Additionally, introductory forewords have been written and recorded to help set the historical context for many of the speeches.

Non esistono solo l’America dei Republicans e l’America dei Democrats. I due cliché attraverso i quali siamo abituati a leggere la realtà d'Oltreoceano danno un'immagine solo parziale, semplicistica e semplificatrice di quella grande democrazia. Pressoché ignorata dai media, esiste anche un'altra America, una élite di pensatori e politici, che nei due schieramenti, al di là delle contrapposizioni di facciata, vede una sostanziale identità nel tradimento degli ideali che ispirarono i Padri fondatori.Questa altra America, trasversale, autenticamente libertaria, e conservatrice dei valori originari dell'Unione, combatte l'invasività dei poteri presidenziali, del governo federale, della Corte suprema, del fisco. È contro gli interventi militari all'estero e invoca il pieno ripristino dell'habeas corpus, gravemente calpestato dopo l'11 settembre. Persegue la liberazione dell'economia dalle distorsioni che i governi (sia Democrat che Republican) hanno provocato attraverso dazi, sussidi, esenzioni, protezionismo, inflazione monetaria, e sollecita a tale scopo l'abolizione della Banca Centrale. Nel respingere ogni ipotesi di Stato etico rivendica il diritto per ciascuno a istruire i propri figli in famiglia, ed è decisamente antiproibizionista in materia di droghe.

This book is a reprint of the report of the US Gold Commission originally published in the Congressional Record. As with all federal government publications, this work is public domain. Paul blamed the Federal Reserve for inflation, and spoke against the banking mismanagement that resulted in the savings and loan crisis. The Gold Commission was his idea, and this marvellous commission minority report was the great result.Paul and Lehrman worked with a team of economists that included Murray Rothbard, so it is hardly suprising that such a book would result. It still holds up as an excellent blueprint for moving beyond paper money and into the age of sound money. In particular, it favors complete monetary freedom to use any commodity as money, to make contracts in any money, and an end to the monopolization and printing power of the Federal Reserve. There is a strong piece of history in this book. Not since the 19th century has there been such a strong case for monetary reform. This book runs circles around even the experts at the Fed. A dazzling performance indeed, and an inspiring and learned read.
