A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship
(If you read the book, please post your review below).
A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship is a powerful and inspiring collection of Ron Paul’s U.S. House floor speeches on Foreign Policy.
Ron Paul has always believed that foreign and domestic policy should be conducted according to the same principles. Government should be restrained from intervening at home or abroad because its actions fail to achieve their stated aims, create more harm than good, shrink the liberty of the people, and violate rights.
Does that proposition seem radical? Outlandish or farflung? Once you hear it stated, it makes perfect sense that there is no sharp distinction between the principles of domestic and foreign policy. They are part of the same analytical fabric. What would be inconsistent would be to favor activist government at home but restraint abroad, or the reverse: restraint at home and activism abroad.
Government unleashed behaves in its own interests, and will not restrict itself in any area of life. It must be curbed in all areas of life lest freedom suffer. Ron Paul’s singular voice on foreign affairs has done so much to keep the flame of a consistent liberty burning in times when it might otherwise have been extinguished. He has drawn public attention to the ideas of the Founders. He has alerted people to the dangers of empire. He has linked domestic and foreign affairs through libertarian analytics, even when others have been bamboozled by the lies or too intimidated to contradict them. He has told the truth, always.
For this, every American, every citizen of the world, is deeply in his debt. We can’t but be deeply grateful that Ron Paul’s prophetic words have been collected in this book. May it be widely distributed. May its lessons be absorbed by this and future generations. — Foreword to “A Foreign Policy of Freedom” by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

@Sabrina, you seem to know what you are talking about. Do you mind shooting me your email address? I would like to chat more with you.
Awesome job !!! keep it up.
Peace, freedom, commerce and honest friendship…how refreshing is that concept! I haven’t seen that in my entire lifetime.
I think mass people everywhere would welcome it. It is our most natural state of being. It’s only those with the NWO destructive craziness in their heads that cause us all trouble, and they by far are in the minority. Unfortunately, they are the one seated in our governing bodies. We are tired of being governed by the insane. WE THE PEOPLE want the sane, like Ron Paul, Schiff, Kokesh in office, now. Less ego, principled and humane.
I can only hope that this difficult time we are globally going through is a cleansing process to rid ourselves of the darkeness and destructive among us, very soon. Perhaps we need to learn to function without money, make our choices from our heart instead, which would rid ourselves of the restrictions placed on any human being for such things as access to healthcare, education (non-Rockefeller type), jobs, homes, travel and more. Imagine for a moment if money was not in the equation. The world would still turn, but the tool, the weapon the elite use would be gone.
These folks who have been in charge of our government, who have advised our politicians have done so many crimes against humanity that the paranoia it created in them is like a black cloud over all of us.
Вообще, на мой взгляд, самое лучшее в личном блоге, так это самопознание.
