  • The Government Is Turning America Into a Constitution-Free Zone

  • King Charles III: Policing the Republican Protests

    In Britain, pageantry has always been a palliative and plaster for the dark and dismal.

Central to this entertainment complex is the Royal family, that archaic vestige of an era that refuses […]

  • Hypocritical Commemorations

    Selected days for commemoration serve one fundamental purpose. Centrally, they acknowledge the forgotten or neglected, while proposing to do nothing about it.

    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.

    First, They Spied on Protesters. Then Churches. You’re Next
