No sooner had the smoke cleared in Brussels than the security “experts” began telling the Europeans they must sacrifice more of their liberty for the promise that their governments would keep them safe. Never mind that the big lesson from Brussels is that their governments have not kept them safe, the answer is always to do more of what clearly is not working. Those are the “experts” and the Europeans will probably listen to them. But what if there is another way? What if something could be done differently that would not promise a perfect world, but might deliver a better one? We discuss that possibility in today’s Liberty Report:

Privatized security is the answer?! I’m sorry Ron but I gotta call bullshit on that one. If you really want to know how great private security is just ask anyone who’s lived under the truncheon of unaccountable mercenaries like Blackwater.
Privatization isn’t the answer to everything especially when you consider that multinational corporations like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are the real muscle behind the American war machine.
We already have a corporate congress. We don’t need a (more) corporate military.
