Ron Paul: Government Lies Go Deeper Than Epstein

Ron Paul condemned the Department of Justice’s recent statements on Epstein, arguing that the agency’s denial of a client list and insistence on suicide—despite contradicting evidence—exemplify a larger pattern of deception by government institutions. He noted that even close allies of Donald Trump, like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, are expressing open skepticism, which Paul views as a hopeful sign of growing resistance to official narratives. Paul emphasized that the problem is not isolated misconduct but systemic dishonesty embedded in modern governance, from foreign wars to central bank manipulation. He listed foundational myths used to justify state overreach—claiming, for instance, that regulations protect rather than oppress, and that surveillance or gun control ensure safety. For Paul, dismantling these lies is crucial to reviving liberty, and the surge in public mistrust signals a unique opportunity for educating Americans on the principles of freedom, voluntaryism, and non-interventionism.
