  • Who Pays the Price for Botched SWAT Team Raids? We Do

    Who Pays the Price for Botched SWAT Team Raids? We Do

    We’re all potential victims. — Peter Christ, retired police officer Sometimes ten seconds is all the warning you get. Sometimes you don’t get a warning before all hell breaks loose. Imagine it, if you will: It’s the middle of the night. Your neighborhood is in darkness. Your household is asleep. Suddenly, you’re awakened by a […]

  • Six Years On, Hassan Diab Recounts His Release from a French Prison in January 2018

    Dr. Hassan Diab was wrongfully extradited from Canada to France in 2014, for alleged involvement in a bombing outside a Paris synagogue in 1980. He spent more than three years in a French prison before investigative judges determined that there was no evidence linking him to the crime, and ordered his immediate and unconditional release. […]

  • Actuarial Justice: Released Refugees and Secondary Punishment

    In most instances, the justice system of a liberal democracy presumes absence of arbitrary and cruel treatment by the State. Punishment, when levelled, is finite. It might see out the term of a convict’s natural life, but that would only be for the most extreme cases. Even then, the whiff of parole, while far off, […]

  • The Profit Incentives Driving the American Police State

    The Profit Incentives Driving the American Police State

    When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. ― Frédéric Bastiat, French economist Pay no heed to the circus politics coming out of Washington DC. It’s […]

  • 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 was the ordinary German people who were informing on their neighbors. — Professor Robert Gellately, author […]

  • 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 […]

  • Indoctrination, Intimidation and Intolerance: What Passes for Education Today

    Every day in communities across the United States, children and adolescents spend the majority of their waking hours in schools that have increasingly come to resemble places of detention more than places of learning. — Annette Fuentes Investigative journalist, When the School House Becomes a Jail House This is what it means to go back-to-school […]

  • The Lies that Launched Black Lives Matter

    A photo I took during the early days of BLM. It was December 4, 2014. Black Lives Matter had sprung up almost four months earlier after the events in Ferguson, Missouri. The remnants of Occupy Wall Street immediately latched onto this Movement as if it were life support. Our plan that night was to stage […]
