A group of House Democrats have sent a letter to the Biden Administration demanding that all charges be dropped against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Yesterday marked his fourth year being held in the notorious Belmarsh prison in the UK, awaiting extradition to the US. In Australia and New Zealand a similar cry for his release is coming up from politicians of all stripe. Also today: FBI infiltrating Catholic Churches? Say it aint so! Finally: White House to media: 'shut up about the leaks!'

Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report.
With us today, Daniel McAdams, our co-host.
Daniel, good to see you.
How do you feel this morning?
We had a little bit of excitement last night.
Yeah, took a little trip to Austin and had a little conversation on Tim Pohl's show.
But he's been around for a bit, and I think he helped me in a campaign.
So it was a little bit different.
See, I generally haven't preferred to have a group of people.
It gets too mixed up.
But I'd have to admit, the program sort of flowed through.
He sort of kept order, and nobody was shouting, and nobody was grabbing the microphone.
So we had a little fun doing that, except we didn't get into late.
So you got up in time to do your work or something.
Yeah, yeah, we had a lot of work.
Set to go.
Because we have some good news.
We've been talking in the last week or two, because it's been in the news, about a problem that's been around for a long time now, a decade probably, Julian Assange.
But the momentum, you know, maybe his dad is the one that's traveling the country, right?
It looks like he might be, you know, helpful to Julian because more people are starting to talk about, hey, what are we doing this for?
And, of course, we asked that about the first day they did anything to him.
But we'll start off with an anti-war story from our friend David de Camp.
The title is House Democrats Urge Biden to Drop Charges Against Julian Assange.
Oh, you mean those are those moderates that have come over our way?
No, they're Democrats and they're on our side of the issue.
You know, it's something we can talk to them about, even though there's some people who say, no, you don't even talk to people like this.
But if I don't know how they get there, but it's sort of sad that somebody that on most issues, they're all over the place.
But on Assange, you know, they are.
Some people say, well, that's just because they want to prop up and damage him, and they don't really believe that.
But that isn't the case.
The progressives and the remnant of the progressives, I think there is an element that really are pro-liberty when it comes to civil liberties.
But there's a lot of them that have left their fold, and that's when we still see them, and we can still work with them.
So we don't like to miss the chance to say, boy, this is good.
We do need a broad base.
We need Republicans and Democrats, and we need Australians.
The whole thing is, it's always baffled me.
This is an Australian citizen, and it's all to do with a law that probably has never been enforced in this country.
But it's an anti-free speech episode.
And yet Son, I don't believe, has ever been charged with anything.
It's sort of like it's carried over to the minor little incident on January 6th.
They don't have charges against them, but they've been locked up.
But the sons have been locked up for a long time.
And even after a good many years, you know, it got worse because we got involved and said, we want him.
We want him.
And if he wants justice, he has to come here and face the music.
So he, you know, I'll make just I'll be right over there because I know you're fair, which is sad.
So anyway, there's some good news there that maybe the ice has been broken and maybe there'll be more momentum now.
This is the best group now endorsing it.
You know, it's, you know, the Australians are talking about House Democrats.
So, and I don't know the numbers, but it'd be interesting for us to check it.
But how many libertarian-leaning Republicans, there are some in the House that would take our position.
But I don't think they emphasize that too much.
This is news because today, because the Democrats are the very, very left-wing Democrats.
But on this issue, I'd say go for it.
Yeah, just before I say, I just wanted to say we did have a nice time last night, and our friend Luke Rukowski was there, and he was part of the show.
We made a new friend, Ian, who's a really interesting guy, and Tim was a gracious host.
So it was, even though I didn't love sitting in a couch like that, it wasn't my cup of tea.
It's very different than how we do things.
It's nice to mix it up a bit, and we're grateful for the invitation, and it got a good viewership.
And you were, I don't know, they must have slipped you some coffee before because you were given about a whole college lecture.
I never fell asleep.
No, it was great.
I mean, anyone who wants to learn about the history of where things went wrong in the U.S., just watch that interview for a couple of hours and you'll get the whole thing.
But let's put up that first clip because we are talking about the House Democrats, a group of House Democrats.
It's not a massive group.
It's a small group of House Democrats who sent a letter to Biden urging that Merritt Garland drop the charges against WikiLeaks.
And the charges, of course, is that he violated our Espionage Act, which is, as you say, dumb because he's Australian.
He can't be a spy.
He's facing 175 years in prison.
And the reason we're talking about it this week is because the letter is relevant.
And the letter is relevant because yesterday, as of yesterday, he's been held in Belmarsh prison for four years, solitary confinement, cruel and unusual punishment, psychological torture.
And he's been held there since, of course, he was dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy after the U.S. basically regime changed Ecuador to get rid of the left-wing government who gave him safe haven and put in another puppet in there to get him.
That was all about getting him arrested.
We know that our good friend Pompeo, that great champion of civil liberties, and telling the truth, well, he called Assange a foreign intelligence asset, and that's one of the rationale for holding him.
So they sent a letter.
My first thought, Dr. Paul, to be honest, was, you know, this would have been stronger as a bipartisan letter.
But then I started thinking, no, actually, in fact, politically speaking, it has more impact because it came solely from the president's party.
You know, this is the president's people.
These are the people that are beholden to him.
And they're saying, look, enough is enough.
This guy's been basically, he's had his freedom stolen for 14 years because he exposed the crimes of the U.S. government in its illegal wars.
Enough is enough.
And so I do think now, change my mind.
I think it's significant that it's just Democrats.
Wouldn't mind seeing a follow-up that's a bipartisan larger letter, but this is a good start, I think, and let's hope it goes somewhere.
Well, you know, from my definition of patriotism, this has to be recognized because one thing that I think the patriotic person does, since that's a tricky word, and we talked about patriotism before, but the trick is, whether that's a positive or is that just a refuge for scoundrels to go to.
But the one thing I think on the positive side of being patriotic is in this instant, this group is patriotic because they were willing to criticize their government.
And somebody says, well, you're mixing it up too much.
But that's the act that what would happen if you wanted to practice true patriotism when your country leaves the Constitution and they become a participant in the destruction of the Constitution and a group taking away our freedoms and privacy and all these things.
You know, it isn't bad.
So I think it's a very positive thing.
And I think you make a great point about it being, you know, it was a group of Democrats that did it.
But I still think that, you know, in time, maybe there will be a group of Republicans because they did get together on the one foreign policy issue, you know, and we liked that when they were trying to stop some funding.
So anyway, I think this is great.
I don't know how fast it's going to move now, but it could go pretty fast.
But it's amazing how strong this bipartisan thing is.
Republicans and Democrats, all these years, you know, Republicans and Democrats both had a chance to do it.
FBI's Concerned: Next Moves?00:14:51
And yet it was never done.
So you just wonder how the deep state, what kind of conversations that they have when they have a secret meeting.
Yeah, okay.
What are we going to do with Assange?
Well, they might not even have any meeting, but what they could be doing is getting together and saying, how do we handle this issue?
And I think they're feeling their way, but they haven't called us up yet, and we will keep offering our little bits of advice and position what we can hold because we shouldn't be doing this.
You know, when you think about cruel and unusual punishment, 14 years, he hasn't been technically ever charged.
We assume in one sense that we know he is not an American citizen, but you still have rights in this country, but they make this up.
And they go on, but they say we have jurisdiction, but you don't have your rights with it.
So he's been in limbo all this time.
Yeah, and it's, you know, there's a great part of the letter that I just want to read out because it's a very important point.
And he says that the lawmakers point out that much of the information published by Wikileaks was also published by mainstream outlets, including the New York Times and Washington Post.
And the letter says, quote, based on the legal logic of this indictment, any of those newspapers could also be persecuted, prosecuted for engaging in the reporting activities.
So he did nothing different than the New York Times and Washington Post did, but, you know, he embarrassed the deep state, so that's why they have their hooks out.
That's why they've destroyed his life, you know, for all these years.
And he's got two little kids.
They never get to see the father, you know, never get to see the father.
That was one of the most poignant things in Ithaca, which is a movie that I went to see in Houston featuring his father, and his brother was there in the film, is just watching those poor little kids.
You know, let's say good things happen a month from now.
He gets released and they withdraw the charges.
And there would be a great deal of celebration by a lot of people, and the most important would be his family, of course.
But the whole thing is, is what if you go back and say, well, this has been a crime.
This is a crime against government.
The worst type is like the crooked policeman.
It's our system that was able to do this.
What if you go back and say, well, you know, the government, when they commit crimes like this and they do this deliberately and they don't obey the Constitution, well, maybe they should be punished.
What kind of a list could you have?
There has to be hundreds of people that could have changed something a little bit here and a little bit there.
But if it was just march along, go along with it and perpetuate it.
And now it's coming to fruition.
Let's just hope that momentum continues.
Yeah.
Well, it's not only House Democrats that are doing this.
And here's the other thing that happened, and I think it is to mark the four-year anniversary.
If you can put the next one on.
This is from the Epoch Times.
Australian and U.K. politicians call on the U.S. to drop Julian Assange's extradition.
And if we do the next one, this is an open letter sent by 48 Australian parliamentarians from the government, from the opposition, and crossbench.
And they said the extradition would set a dangerous precedent for freedom of the press and would be needlessly damaging for the U.S. as a world leader in freedom of expression.
That's up to debate.
But here's the point that the letter makes.
If the extradition request is approved, Australians will witness the deportation of one of our citizens from one AUKUS partner to another, our closest strategic ally, with Mr. Assange facing the prospect of spending the rest of his life in prison.
And I think that's an important move coming from allies as well.
So pressure is building on all sides for this to happen.
And in fact, Assange's father, John Shifton, recognized that if he can put the next clip on, because he says he makes the point that his son's incarceration was excoriating and scarring for him and his family.
He says, after 14 years, you no longer use the term hope.
But here's the part that he said.
He was heartened by the growing support for Assange's release from across the political spectrum.
Quote, the incoming tide is now turning into a tsunami of support.
I honestly hope he's right about that.
Yes, and this is, he did put one sentence in there making this point that there were no charges.
He noted that he was unaware of anyone else subject to inhumane, that was in quote, conditions while yet to be formally charged with a criminal offense.
But that seems like they've accepted the principle.
When you think about the last two years, people who might have been caught at the Capitol and not committing a crime as far as I'm concerned.
If it was, it was a speeding ticket.
Yeah.
You know, you can compare the outrage that the U.S. government has been demonstrating over these past few weeks, or a few weeks or so, over the arrest of Evan Grashukovich, who is a Wall Street Journal reporter who was reporting in Russia.
The Russians claim that he was reporting some military secrets.
We don't know if that's true or not.
However, that's what they claim.
And the U.S. has gone nuts over this, demanding that he's a prisoner of the state.
He has to be released.
In the same time, they want to hold Assange for just doing literally the same thing and probably less because he wasn't collecting the data.
He was just reporting it.
So double standards.
I wonder what the public in Australia, because they have a little more responsibility.
I mean, he's Australian.
They seem to just disappear.
Where are they?
Disappear them.
So they need a movement there as well.
And that's why these people speaking out in Australia, I think that's the strongest statement that has come from any politician in Australia in support of Assange.
So that's good news.
And this hope that it continues.
Maybe someday we'll have Assange back on our program again.
I mean, Biden could have such a huge bonus by doing that, by being returning to the civil liberties guy.
I mean, if I were Trump, I would say, look, I messed up.
I should have pardoned him.
The first thing I do when I'm re-elected, literally after I take the oath, will be to pardon Assange.
That would be a smart political move and a good moral move, but who knows?
There's not a lot of courage there.
Well, let's move on to something that is quite disturbing.
And this has come out because Representative Jordan and a few others had heard about the FBI getting involved in spying on Catholic churches.
So they said, hey, we want this information.
We want to know what's going on.
Well, what they got was not very encouraging.
The FBI planned to spy on Catholic churches to combat, quote, domestic terrorism documents show.
And this is the documents that the FBI turned over to them.
And it really paints a pretty bad picture of what the FBI was doing and probably is still doing.
If we can put on that next one when we get a chance.
He said, based on the limited information produced by the FBI to the committee, we now know the FBI relied on at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis.
And the FBI proposed its agents engage in outreach to Catholic parishes and develop sources among the clergy and church leadership to inform on Americans practicing their faith.
That's what Jordan wrote in his letter to the FBI director.
So they're sending agents in to infiltrate the churches to try to develop sources.
But we know very well, Dr. Paul, that it's not only a one-way street, because what they also do in every one of these terror threats, and also in January 6th, we're finding out, they send an agent in, and that agent says, hey, guys, come on, let's get radical.
Let's get some guns.
They're the ones that are stirring it up because they need to have that big arrest.
So this is really very disturbing if you value the First Amendment in the U.S.
Well, you know, going after media, social media and all media and the Assange story, they have to silence the truth because the truth reveals what governments are doing.
So it's anti-government.
They have to reveal it.
And that's why you can't have a trial, a real trial.
You have to have a kangaroo court and not get the truth out because what they need to do is suppress the truth.
They have no problems with it because wokeism encourages the whole principle of nihilism.
You don't have to worry too much about this true stuff.
You can take your oath of office.
It doesn't mean anything.
So that goes on.
But there's also been predictions and worries and history shows that in the last couple thousand years, Christianity has been used to help define the higher law of telling the truth and not accept this whole idea that truth can't be found.
So it's not unusual under the circumstances under which we live now is to have anti-Christian activity.
This one though was with a headline.
It seemed like it was targeting more the Catholic churches.
But I think it's all faced.
And it might, you know, the whole thing is, if you're not a Christian, oh, they're the Christians and they're a little kooky.
So that's okay.
Yes.
But, you know, on principle, whether you have a precise religion or not, and there's a lot of religion, if you don't commit violence and commit crimes, the protection should be universal for everybody.
So everybody should be concerned about that.
But totalitarianism is certainly very astute in silencing the people.
They have to have control of the judicial system.
And now they're moving forth.
And I'm glad that the Republicans have some ammunition there to try to stop this and bring it about.
I definitely think we're better off than we were a couple years ago.
And since the election, I think we're getting more revelation.
And I think there's been a little bit of good news on getting a better understanding about how governments work with social media.
That is so outrageous about there.
And I think this is a good move.
We need to get more of this information out, but we shouldn't be surprised that there's anti-Christian elements, and that can be used broadly.
It's anti-telling the truth.
People who tell the truth are the enemy of the state.
Yeah, no, you make a good point because people say, oh, those crazy Catholics, you know.
But if you're in any kind of faith or if you're in any other kind of group, a motorcycle club, anything, you know, it's very, very dangerous.
Let's move ahead a couple of things from this article.
Let's move.
I say not the next clip, but I'm going to go ahead and say the next one, Americans Attend Church, because Jordan is pretty good on this, I have to say.
I don't know if we have that available.
He says, Americans attend church to worship and congregate for their spiritual and personal betterment.
They must be free to exercise their First Amendment rights without worrying that the FBI may have planted a so-called tripwire source or other informant in their houses of worship.
And he makes a good point with this as well, Dr. Paul, because you can imagine how that might sow the seeds of being uncomfortable, of being paranoid, of just wondering who is it in my church?
If the FBI is trying to put people in there, who is the guy?
And of all times, you know, in your personal life, in your religious life, you should never have to worry that the government is sneaking in there listening to you.
Yeah, they should be concerned enough to pay attention.
You know, in this article, it also said, read more here about the FBI spying on it.
Leaked FBI document labels extremist Betsy Ross flags, Second Amendment Gatson flags, and more.
And this is part of that report of what the Republicans have found the FBI is doing.
But I didn't know there was anything.
Do you know much about the controversy over the Betsy Ross flag?
That Betsy, she was for revolution.
She was a hell raiser.
But you know, I was getting really nervous about this, Dr. Paul.
I was getting really irritated at the FBI.
But then I read a little further in the article and I felt just fine because if you look at the next one, the FBI responded.
They said the FBI is committed to sound analytical tradecraft and to investigating and preventing acts of violence and other crimes while upholding the constitutional rights of all Americans.
And it will never conduct investigative activities or open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity.
So then I just breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe we should talk about sports.
Yeah, exactly.
Because it's all taken care of.
It's taken care of.
It's taken care of.
Well, we do have to take care of our sponsor for the show, and that is 4patriots.com.

Teaching Truth To Power00:03:33
And Dr. Paul, we're going to do our final story here today.
The White House is giving some good advice to the American media.
They're saying, shut up.
Don't report about these leaks.
We don't want anyone to know about it.
Hush, hush.
Isn't this part of what we've been talking about?
There's churches and the media and social media and the whole works.
It goes, that's their goal.
They cannot stand truth.
That means they can't stand a real debate.
And I've at times thought I might have been on the receiving end of not being allowed to participate in another opinion on any of this stuff.
But why does I say, don't report any of these leaks because it's not good for our position.
And of course, they'll tell us what is true.
I think that's, you know, that is what they will want us to believe.
But the truth about that is we can expect them to tell us the truth.
And, you know, whether it's in the church or wherever it is or your teachers, you know, the responsibility on that is on the individual.
And that's the tough part because, you know, with the weakening of the family and the dependency on government schools to try to fill that void, teaching about values and teaching about economics and teaching about foreign policy, it's all, you know, they're getting the garbage.
So you can't just say, well, you kids need to wise up because you're following the wrong teaching.
But it's a little bit more complicated than that.
So so often, like right now, I think the kids are really the victims.
When you think of this, this polygenderism and all that.
I mean, those kids are total victims.
Now more stories are coming out about the tragedies of all that nonsense.
So it is the individual.
And the closest thing to trying to raise children correctly has to be the family.
And when the family weakens, we have a problem on our hands.
But then again, I can think of, and I'm sure you know some of our friends in the libertarian movement and in sound economics might have been raised by a single mother and living in a slum.
So it isn't like if you have a starting that was really challenging, that you can never pull up from that.
But usually when you hear a story like that, you can find out, well, how did this happen?
Why did you change?
And they can name somebody.
And they say, you know, I had a grandfather, I had an uncle, I had a friend, maybe I had one good school teacher.
So there's usually an explanation.
That's why, you know, that's really the only option because we can't change those attitudes with force.
But if we had a more open, legalized justice system, you could confront people like this.
But right now it's used against the people.
The justice system, when you think of, you know, all the things that's happened here in the last 10, 15 years in politics, they've made up a lot of stories and told a lot of lies.
And they get support from prosecutors and judges and everybody else because it's been ingrained into the system.
And like I've said before, a coup has occurred.
We have no control.
The government is controlled by some people who aren't much interested in liberty.
Government Control Issues00:02:02
Yeah.
It is very concerning.
And on this don't report on the leaks thing, you know, John Kirby, he's the NSC spokesman.
He was in the Obama administration as a spokesman.
The guy, really, I hate to say it, I hate to be mean, but he's as dumb as a bag of rocks.
Typical type that move up, unfortunately, the political side of the military.
There are great military officers, and we know a few of them, but these are the guys who are political.
Kirby is a real dummy, and if we can put this on, he's also evil, so I don't feel bad calling him a dummy because you can't help it if you're dummy.
You can help it if you're evil.
Put that back on if you can, because this is the thing I wanted to bring to your attention, Dr. Paul.
I'm sure you read it, but I thought this is the operative thing.
This is what John Kirby, a United States government administration spokesman, he says, This information has no business being on the front pages of newspapers or on television.
Well, hold on a second.
I thought we had our First Amendment.
I thought if the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post gets a hold of a story that has value, that tells Americans something about their government, goes back to our Assange coverage.
It tells us something important.
These papers, these leaks are important.
We're the ones that pay for it in many ways.
So, how dare he?
How dare he say this has no business being told to the American people?
But he has a sentence to justify this.
He says, Yes, this happens.
He says, This information that they're digging up now, the government didn't offer us the truth, but they're finding the truth, and they resent it the most because it is the truth.
He says, It is not this material that they're gathering up by the Republicans right now.
It is not this information, it is not intended for public consumption, and it should not be out there.
Well, it's intent.
So, it wasn't intended.
No, they didn't intend it to be.
That's the whole point.
It was not intended to be public.
And of course, if you're on the side of truth-telling, it is intended that you have this knowledge.
But the bigger the government, the more secrets, and more authoritarianism, and the more prisons.
Dollar's Future Uncertain00:07:22
And when you look at it, and then you end up, you say, We make a better world because we will take care of all the vices in the country.
If you have a vice, we'll convert it into a crime and we'll put you away, you know, this sort of thing.
And we did that, and we haven't reversed it yet.
But they hopefully will wake up and become truth-tellers.
Yeah, well, we'll see.
We'll see what happens with that.
But I'm going to give a little bonus for you because I know you need a little bit of entertainment.
This is our favorite, our favorite senator from Florida, Marco Rubio.
He is very upset, Dr. Paul.
He is upset about de-dollarization.
He is furious about it.
He doesn't like the fact that they're using non-dollar currency.
If we can get that cue, that little thing up, it's a minute long, but it's a minute well spent.
Let's listen to the great mind of Senator Rubio.
Look, I think the bottom line is we're in a conflict, and I think we have to start talking about it that way.
You know, we, a lot of times, most of the people are up here now don't remember.
You know, I was very young, obviously, at the end of the Cold War, but it's been about 30 years since there was another superpower on the earth that was in conflict with the United States, and we are back in that place.
And we need to stop pretending like that's not the case.
Now, I hope it's never an armed conflict, but it's a conflict at every level you can imagine.
Brazil, in our hemisphere, largest country in the Western Hemisphere south of us, cut a trade deal with China.
They're going to, from now on, do trade in their own currencies, get right around the dollar.
They're creating a secondary economy in the world totally independent of the United States.
We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years because there'll be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them.
That's horrible.
You know, the thing that has never crossed his mind, he never heard about it, and he doesn't believe it's possible, I'm sure, is the fact that how critical is a reserve currency?
Did we ever have a world marketplace over the last two, three thousand years without a central bank?
And most of the time, we didn't have a central bank.
And one of the worst examples of a central bank has been ours because it's so powerful.
It's backed up with the largest amount of weapons and a largest amount of gold, and except we're using that up.
And we've had tremendous wealth.
There was a time when we had a maximum amount of personal liberty, and all these things are going away.
But he's worried about competition in the central bank.
It might interfere with, well, how are they going to put on sanctions?
This whole idea that, you know, if you didn't have this reserve currency and control it, you'd have to control it.
How can you put on these sanctions?
But that is precisely the critical problem going on in this world today.
And that's why America is because the reserve currency is dwindling in control and influence that people are saying, oh, you know, what are we going to do?
And it is a problem.
And the solution is not found in that speech.
And I'm sure there's times he's probably voted a few times on conservative, maybe spending, cutting spending, but he didn't ever, I'm wagering, I don't know, but he probably never cut a nickel out of militarism.
So that's the problem.
So he's touched on one of the most significant problems in the world, but it's not because it's going to interfere with his ability to put more sanctions and stir up trouble with China.
I mean, it's the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
What he doesn't realize in a quick lesson in policy is that they're trading in other currencies because they've been sanctioned.
That's why they do it in the first place.

Very good.
And I just want to follow up on the reserve currency of the world.
I think the dollar will not be the reserve currency for a lot longer.
It's not going to be, my bet would be that it's not going to be the reserve currency of the world being used massively like it has been in five or ten years.
But the currents, the reserve currencies disappear slowly, then somebody made the point, then rapidly.
So at the end, it does.
But people should be reassured that this will be, it's going to happen, but it's not the end of the world.
Matter of fact, there's tremendous improvements.
It would dissipate the power of a few people who want to run the whole world.
And it's not your friendly congressman who has a little bit of influence.
It's somebody that's pulling the strings that has been involved with wokeism and the takeover of this country and the national security agencies that control our judicial system, our educational system.
That's what that is what has brought us to our knees here.
And so if we lose the reserve currency, I think it will be replaced.
And yeah, but it might be China involved.
Yeah, they could be involved.
They have already been involved.
They're sick and tired of what we do.
So they're trading oil without the dollar.
And they use the wand, and it seems to work.
But the point there is let the market work it out if you want to exchange it.
And if one did more than the other, maybe it's because it's a sounder currency right now.
You know, when the dollar became the reserve currency, we had the most gold ever.
And we pretended that we were so wealthy we would never run out of real money.
The gold would last.
But we ran out of money.
We ran out of the gold.
And we had to do this.
So sound money is very, very important.
And it doesn't depend on the central banks and the fiat standard.
Matter of fact, that is the biggest threat to a sound currency is the central banks that have power and monopoly control of the money.
And that means they have control of the political system.
It doesn't have to be that way.
There is another alternative.
It's called peace and prosperity.
And that is what we talk about here.
The promotion of peace and prosperity is a much better way to go than to look to the authoritarians.
