* Guest: Lowell Nelson - CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org
* What Did Trump Find in the Middle East Last Week? - Ron Paul.
* The Iraq War was based on lies. The US intervened in Libya and Syria and other countries. And none of it helped. Didn't help Israel. Didn't help the US.
* Israel is conducting military operations against several countries in the region simultaneously as the world increasingly condemns its aggression against its neighbors.
* "Syria has been over-run and is now controlled by the same al-Qaeda that the US government supposedly spent 20 years fighting in the “war on terror.” Violence against religious and ethnic minorities has, predictably, exploded under the “rule” of a self-proclaimed Syrian president who until very recently was on the US “most wanted” terrorist list.
* "The lesson that President Trump should take with him is ... it has been US interventionism in the Middle East that has produced these poisoned fruits. His wise military disengagement from the Houthis in Yemen should serve as a US model for the region. Ties forged by trade and friendship produce peace and prosperity and are far preferable to endless neocon war cries."
* Trump Skewers Neoconservative Interventionist Foreign Policy - Paul Dragu, TheNewAmerican.com
President Trump announced that he plans to lift sanctions on Syria.
* How War Propaganda Has Fueled American Foreign Policy for a Century - Ryan McMaken.
The "worst" propaganda in US history is propaganda used to "gin up support for a variety of wars resulting in the deaths of thousands—sometimes even hundreds of thousands—of innocents."
* How To Make Your Mind Harder for the Propagandists To Manipulate - Caitlin Johnstone, LewRockwell.com
* There Is Only One Way to Eradicate Mexico’s Drug Cartels - Jacob G. Hornberger
* URP Organizing Convention Report - Lowell Nelson.
* We voted on paper ballots and counted them by hand. This we haven't done for over a decade.
