  • Scott Morrison and Australia’s Lobby Complex

    The former Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, has been somewhat of an absentee in the Federal seat of Cook. Since losing the May 2022 election, he has been aggressively chasing up contacts and deals on the consultancy circuit, bellyaching about the usual talking points: the gruesome China menace; defence matters; and, just to round it […]

  • Disarm the IRS, De-Militarize the Bureaucracy, and Dismantle the Standing Army

    Disarm the IRS, De-Militarize the Bureaucracy, and Dismantle the Standing Army

    There are instruments so dangerous to the rights of the nation and which place them so totally at the mercy of their governors that those governors, whether legislative or executive, should be restrained from keeping such instruments on foot but in well-defined cases. Such an instrument is a standing army. — Thomas Jefferson, 1789 What […]

  • Approximately 26% of U.S. Government Spending Goes to Weapon-Makers

    Approximately 26% of U.S. Government Spending Goes to Weapon-Makers

    The vast majority of the U.S. Government’s purchases are for the military, and most of that is paying for weapons and for enabling America’s troops to use them. For example, in the 3 April 2018 “OMB and Congressional Budget Office estimates of discretionary new budget authority” that “The President signed … into law on March […]

  • The War on Free Speech Is Really a War on the Right to Criticize the Government

    Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us? The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents. We who have the final word can speak softly or angrily. We can […]

  • The 75-year Thievery of Joint Tax Returns

    Another tax season has ended, and more than 50 million returns arrived at the Internal Revenue Service marked “Married filing jointly”.  Few of the filers had any idea that joint returns—created in 1948 and modified in 1969—may be the oldest tax inequity in America. They’ve been picking various pockets for 75 years, and there’s little […]

  • 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, […]

  • Libelled by the Bot: Reputation, Defamation, and AI

    Cometh the new platform, cometh new actions in law, the fragile litigant ever ready to dash off a writ to those with (preferably) deep pockets. And so, it transpires that artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, for all the genius behind their creation, are up for legal scrutiny and judicial redress. Certainly, some private citizens are getting […]

  • Don’t Let the Government Criminalize Free Speech

    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. What the First Amendment affirms is an engaged citizenry that speaks truth to power using whatever peaceful means are available to […]

  • Be a Capitol Hill Citizen on Your Congress

    Spring, the season of renewal, is here. The ants are diligently building their little symmetrical ant hills. The robins are in their nests occupied with posterity. And the anointed members of Congress, after a long recess, aka vacation, return to work on April 17. The next day, April 18, is the deadline for filing taxes. […]

  • Fiscal Insanity: The Government Borrows $6 Billion a Day, and We’re Stuck with the Bill

    Fiscal Insanity: The Government Borrows $6 Billion a Day, and We’re Stuck with the Bill

    We’re not living the American dream. We’re living a financial nightmare. The U.S. government is funding its existence with a credit card. The government—and that includes the current administration—is spending money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford, and “we the taxpayers” are the ones being forced to foot the bill for the government’s […]
