On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
House Speaker Mike Johnson said this week he considers himself a “war time” Speaker – even though we are not at war.

The Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal is holding accountable – through video testimony of witnesses – U.S. weapons manufacturers who produce and sell products which attack and kill not only combatants but non-combatants as well. Each week the Tribunal issues a new video segment offering evidence of guilt for the commission of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity.
In this video episode, the Tribunal now interviews award winning journalist Jeffrey Stern about his reporting in Afghanistan and Yemen. Jeffrey is the author of The Mercenary, “The 15:17 to Paris,” and “The Last Thousand.” His work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and numerous other publications. Jeffrey provides a compelling first-hand account from these war zones.

Buried deep in the FISA Section 702 re-authorization bill is absolutely shocking language exponentially broadening the US government’s ability to spy on Americans without a warrant. Turning your plumber into a federal spy agent against you? It’s in there! Your gardener? Yep. Truly shocking! Also today: The US Government has submitted its “assurances” to the UK regarding the Assange extradition plan. It’s not good.
