  • Trump’s Palantir-Powered Surveillance Is Turning America Into a Digital Prison

    Call it what it is: a panopticon presidency. President Trump’s plan to fuse government power with private surveillance tech to build a centralized, national citizen database is the final step in transforming America from a constitutional republic into a digital dictatorship armed with algorithms and powered by unaccountable, all-seeing artificial intelligence. This isn’t about national security. It’s about control. […]

    From COVID-19 to Campus Protests: How the Police State Muzzles Free Speech

    Whether he wrote DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER, or whether he refrained from writing it, made no difference … The Thought Police would get him just the same … the arrests invariably happened at night … In the vast majority of cases there was no trial, no report of the arrest.

    Technocensorship: When Corporations Serve As a Front for Government Censors

    Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. — Harry S. Truman […]

The end result of the government’s efforts over the past 60 years is […]

  • NYC Drag Marchers: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!”

    So… participants in NYC’s June 23 “Drag March” chanted: “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children!”  (Watch a short clip right here) I get it that, for some of those marchers, this was a tragically failed attempt at “satire” in response to (accurately) being called groomers.

    Don’t Let the Government Criminalize Free Speech

    If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. — George Washington What the police state wants is a silent, compliant, oblivious citizenry.
