  • A Gift America Can’t Return

    The American police state has become America’s new crime boss. Thirty years after then-President Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act into law, its legacy of mass incarceration, police militarization, and over-criminalization continues to haunt us. It has become the gift that America can’t seem to return. We are now suffering […]

  • What’s Next for Battlefield America?

    What’s Next for Battlefield America?

    I did not know Israel was capturing or recording my face. [But Israel has] been watching us for years from the sky with their drones.

    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 […]

  • 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.

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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

    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 […]

  • When the Government Thinks It Knows Best

    When the Government Thinks It Knows Best

    Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. — Simone Weil, French philosopher, “Reflections on War“ It’s hard to say whether we’re dealing with a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, […]
