  • Convenient Villains: Kathleen Folbigg’s Miscarriage of Justice

    They – being the howling press, the screeching vox populi, and anybody else wishing to weigh in – were very clear about it. Kathleen Folbigg was guilty as hell and deserved her special place in it. For two decades, she spent her time behind bars in New South Wales, condemned by a jury for killing […]

  • Doing Squats with John Gotti’s Lawyer

    My first personal trainer job was a doozy. I launched my career at New York City’s decadently scandalous Vertical Club — sort of the Studio 54 of gyms. On a nightly basis, I interacted with the Big Apple’s financial/social elite (and their myriad hangers-on). As for celebrities, it was always veritable who’s who — from […]

  • Rein in the FBI

    … Because why does the FBI do all this? To scare the hell out of people… They work for the establishment and the corporations and the politicos to keep things as they are. And they want to frighten and chill the people who are trying to change things. —  Howard Zinn, historian Power corrupts. We […]

  • Business As Usual: Shutdown or Not, the Police State Will Continue to Flourish

    Business As Usual: Shutdown or Not, the Police State Will Continue to Flourish

    There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men. —Ludwig von Mises Once again, the police state is up to its old tricks, stoking tensions over whether or not the government is forced to shut down, even partially, due to a default on the national debt. Yet […]

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

    The Government Is Turning America Into a Constitution-Free Zone

    There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. —James Madison How far would you really go to secure the nation’s borders in the so-called name of national security? Would you give the government limitless amounts […]

  • King Charles III: Policing the Republican Protests

    In Britain, pageantry has always been a palliative and plaster for the dark and dismal. Be it in times of crisis, the chance to put on an extravagant show, usually at vast expense, is not something to forego. Central to this entertainment complex is the Royal family, that archaic vestige of an era that refuses […]

  • Time Mustn’t Be Allowed to Run out on Julian Assange

    Time Mustn’t Be Allowed to Run out on Julian Assange

    Despite whatever charges Julian Assange may be accused of, it is well known that the WikiLeaks publisher was targeted for exposing the war crimes of the US government. In an upside-down Bizarro World, the screws are being ever so gradually tightened on Assange by the war criminals and their criminal accomplices. It is, in fact, […]

  • Inglorious Inertia: The Albanese Government and Julian Assange

    The sham that is the Assange affair, a scandal of monumental proportions connived in by the AUKUS powers, shows no signs of abating.  Prior to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese assuming office in Australia, he insisted that the matter dealing with the WikiLeaks publisher would be finally resolved.  It had, he asserted, been going on for […]

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

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

    I know the capability that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return. […]

  • Doing Washington’s Bidding: Australia’s Treatment of Daniel Duggan

    The increasingly shabby treatment of former US marine Daniel Edmund Duggan by Australian authorities in the service of their US masters has again shown that the Australian passport is not quite worth the material it’s printed on. In January this year, Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court heard that Australian Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus accepted a request […]
