Guest Post by Ron Paul
With the mainstream media still obsessing about the January 6th “violent coup attempt” at the US Capitol Building, the incoming Biden Administration looks to be chock full of actual purveyors of violent coups. Don’t look to the mainstream media to report on this, however. Some of the same politicians and bureaucrats denouncing the ridiculous farce at the Capitol as if it were the equivalent of 9/11 have been involved for decades in planning and executing real coups overseas. In their real coups, many thousands of civilians have died.
Take returning Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, for example. More than anyone else she is the face of the US-led violent coup against a democratically-elected government in Ukraine in 2014. Nuland not only passed out snacks to the coup leaders, she was caught on a phone call actually plotting the coup right down to who would take power once the smoke cleared.
Unlike the fake Capitol “coup,” this was a real overthrow. Unlike the buffalo horn-wearing joke who desecrated the “sacred” Senate chamber, the Ukraine coup had real armed insurrectionists with a real plan to overthrow the government. Eventually, with the help of incoming Assistant Secretary of State Nuland, they succeeded – after thousands of civilians were killed.
As we were unfortunately reminded during the last four years of the Trump Administration, the personnel is the policy. So while President Trump railed against the “stupid wars” and promised to bring the troops home, he hired people like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo to get the job done. They spent their time “clarifying” Trump’s call for ending wars to mean he wanted to actually continue the wars. It was a colossal failure.
So it’s hard to be optimistic about a Biden Administration with so many hyper-interventionist Obama retreads.
While the US Agency for International Development (USAID) likes to sell itself as the compassionate arm of the US foreign policy, in fact USAID is one of the main US “regime change” agencies. Biden has announced that a top “humanitarian interventionist” – Samantha Power – would head that Agency in his Administration.
Power, who served on President Obama’s National Security Council staff and as US Ambassador to the UN, argued passionately and successfully that a US attack on the Gaddafi government in Libya would result in a liberation of the people and the outbreak of democracy in the country. In reality, her justification was all based on lies and the US assault has left nothing but murder and mayhem. Gaddafi’s relatively peaceful, if authoritarian, government has been replaced by radical terrorists and even slave markets.
At the end of the day, the Bush Republicans – like Rep. Liz Cheney – will join hands with the Biden Democrats to reinstate “American leadership.” This of course means more US overt and covert wars overseas. The unholy alliance between Big Tech and the US government will happily assist the US State Department under Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Assistant Secretary of State Nuland with the technology to foment more “regime change” operations wherever the Biden Administration sees fit. Finish destroying Syria and the secular Assad? Sure! Go back into Iraq? Why not? Afghanistan? That’s the good war! And Russia and China must be punished as well.
These are grave moments for we non-interventionists. But also we have a unique opportunity, informed by history, to denounce the warmongers and push for a peaceful and non-interventionist foreign policy.

Shithead Biden’s people want the troops disarmed now and are having many questioned and interviewed by the FBI. Apparently they are hysterical over the idea that thousands of Trump voters in uniform have weapons. All magazines and ammo are being collected.
What if something real and actually criminal happens? M4’s make shitty clubs. Fairly shitty rifles too, but I digress. Harrington Richardson quit making M-16’s after Vietnam.
Colt is simply one of the corps that decided they’d piss off the civilian population and concentrate on government contracts. The “wokeness” jumped up and bit their management in the ass.
Now FN and HK are temporary Kings of the Hill and Colt is being absorbed, albeit for different reasons than what befell Remington, another manufacturer.
LE 6920 is a nice carbine, but personally I fancy a nice, affordable Bergara instead.
HK SR9 for me… A sure beautiful Lady when dressed in Walnut. =)
Yeah, but they made us keep using those overpriced pencil-thin barrelled wore-out old beater-guns for years after.
America finally got a color revolution, planned, financed, and executed by our very own people. As they say, practice makes perfect. At some point we will hear some bragging and the true details will trickle down to the Plebeians, Deplorables, and bitter clingers.
Dr. Paul,
Thanks for relentlessly telling the truth to several generations of Americans.
Ron Paul is the exception to the rule
And the Maidan Coup in the Ukraine ONLY cost the U.S. taxpayer $4 BILLION
1. Bullshit.
2. RP is free to pick his battles. He can NOT fight EVERY Evil.
3. He is a GOOD man … evidence for that is massive.
You want to see real shit for brains? Look in a mirror.
It is tough to understand how far down this country has fallen when we have these two, nuland, power, in positions of power and authority, acting on my behalf as a citizen.
They have the blood of innocent civilians on there hands and heads and should never ever be put in that position again where they could order or support govt application of violence and destruction.
