    A State of Martial Law: America Is a Military Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy

    What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? —Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, December 20, 1787, in Papers of Jefferson, ed. The government is goosestepping all over our freedoms. Case in point: America’s founders did not want a military […]

    FBI Make-Work Entrapment Schemes: Creating Criminals in Order to Arrest Them

    Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. — Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 146 We’re not dealing with a government that exists to serve its people, protect their liberties and ensure their happiness. Rather, we are the unfortunate victims of the diabolical machinations […]

    Norman Solomon’s War Made Invisible Refutes Collusion with War Makers

    Following a string of U.S. “forever wars,” a profusion of well-written, often riveting novels, memoirs, and analyses have been published. Talented authors have aimed to promote understanding about the human cost of war. In the same period, mainstream media sources have continually developed ways to make war appear normal –something necessary, justifiable, or in some […]

  • Why There Should Be a Treaty Against the Use of Weaponized Drones

    Citizen activism to bring about changes in how brutal wars are conducted is extremely difficult, but not impossible.  Citizens have successfully pushed through the United Nations General Assembly treaties to abolish nuclear weapons and to ban the use of landmines and cluster munitions. Of course, countries that want to continue to use these weapons will […]

  • 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 […]

  • Hypocritical Commemorations

    Selected days for commemoration serve one fundamental purpose. Centrally, they acknowledge the forgotten or neglected, while proposing to do nothing about it. It’s the priest’s confession, the chance for absolution before the next round of soiling. These occasions are often money-making exercises for canny businesses: the days put aside to remember mothers and fathers, for […]

  • 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 […]

  • What “Security Threat” Does China Pose?

    Everyone who abhors war, detests imperialism, and favors cooperation between nations on global warming, poverty reduction, protection of biodiversity, international disarmament, implementation of international law, and other left-wing priorities ought to be appalled by the escalating tensions between the U.S. and China and actively organizing against them. The new Cold War between “East” (including Russia) […]
