The Trump Administration has requested a huge increase in the US spy budget, including a whopping $23 billion for the “black” budget. The reasons given are the increasing threats from Russia and China. Does all this spy spending really protect us…or is it just welfare for the Beltway bandits and scaremongers? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

This is really confusing, because in the event of a disagreement between the 86Billion dollar intelligence establishment and the free FOX news, the Prez goes with FOX news. It seems to me we could zero out the intelligence budget and be in about the same place.
Russia’s entire military budget is $68 billion for 2019. We spend $86 billion just on intelligence to have the deep state attack the presidency, lie us into wars, control the MSM, propagandize the American people and collude with MI6 against the US democratic process. Why is it we spend about a $1 trillion per year for defense and all we get is more war?
