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.
