  • A Nation of Snitches: DHS is Grooming Americans to Report on Each Other

    A Nation of Snitches: DHS is Grooming Americans to Report on Each Other

    There were relatively few secret police, and most were just processing the information coming in. I had found a shocking fact. It wasn’t the secret police who were doing this wide-scale surveillance and hiding on every street corner. It was the ordinary German people who were informing on their neighbors. — Professor Robert Gellately, author […]

  • Corporate Criminal Behavior Almost Exposé Proof

    Corporate law firms have taught their wayward corporate clients how to use accretions of privileges and immunities to ward off or wait out the most devastating books, documentaries and media exposés. Corporate P.R. firms know that the media doesn’t follow the efforts of civic advocacy groups as a regular beat. Feature exposés are prime candidates […]

  • The Criminalization of Dissent (continued)

    The Criminalization of Dissent (continued)

    So, the Berlin State Prosecutor has launched another criminal investigation of me. Apparently, I’m being charged with reporting on the original investigation of me that the Berlin State Prosecutor launched in June. What happened is, the prosecutor visited my blog and read a column I published in July, The Criminalization of Dissent (Revisited), which included […]

  • Michigan: 36 Charter Schools Failing

    Michigan: 36 Charter Schools Failing

    About eight months ago, the Michigan Department of Education revealed that at least 36 charter schools are failing in the state of Michigan. Many other charter schools are considered close to “low-performing.” This is not a small number of charter schools. It is not unreasonable to assume that several dozen more charter schools are in […]

  • Death by a Thousand Cuts

    Death by a Thousand Cuts

    Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them. Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in […]

  • Children in Police Watch Houses: A Nasty Queensland Experiment

    They really are a brutal lot.  While the Queensland Labor Government croons on matters regarding rights, liberties and, it should be said, the plight of the First Nations Peoples, its policy, notably on youth detention, is a contradictory abomination.  This situation finds itself repeated across the country, though the Sunshine State, as it is sometimes […]

  • The Next Crisis Is Anyone’s Guess, But the Government Is Ready to Lockdown the Nation

    The Next Crisis Is Anyone’s Guess, But the Government Is Ready to Lockdown the Nation

    The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. — H.L. Mencken, In Defence of Women, 1918 First came 9/11, which the government used to transform itself into a police state. Then the COVID-19 […]

  • Educating the US Imperium: Australia’s Mission for Assange

    An odder political bunch you could not find, at least when it comes to pursuing a single goal.  Given that the goal is the release of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange makes it all the more striking.  Six Australian parliamentarians of various stripes will be heading to Washington ahead of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s October visit […]

  • Criminalising Activism: Woodside, Protest and Climate Change

    On August 1, protesters against the Burrup Hub expansion in Western Australia, a project of one of Australia’s most ruthless fossil fuel companies, took to the Perth home of its CEO, Meg O’Neill.  The CEO of Woodside was not impressed.  In fact, she seemed rather distressed.   “It doesn’t matter if you’re a member of the […]

  • Nikole Hannah-Jones, Frederick Douglass, and the Left

    Twitter conversations with public intellectuals are rarely worthy of note, but a recent exchange I had with Nikole Hannah-Jones, famed mastermind of the New York Times’ 1619 Project, was symptomatic of widespread tendencies in left-liberal culture and brought up important issues. Hannah-Jones is a spokeswoman for wokeness, the cultural phenomenon that, as I’ve written elsewhere, […]
