Tuesday, August 3, 2021A New State of Segregation: Vaccine Cards Are Just the Beginning In this age of COVID-19 that unrestricted right to move about freely is being pitted against the government's power to lock down communities at a moment's notice. And in this tug-of-war between individual freedoms and government power "we the people" have been on the losing end of the deal.
Monday, June 7, 2021Make Way for the Snitch State We're being spied on by a domestic army of government snitches, spies and techno-warriors. This government of Peeping Toms is watching everything we do, reading everything we write, listening to everything we say, and monitoring everything we spend.
Monday, May 24, 2021Drivers Beware: The Deadly Perils of Blank-Check Traffic Stops If you're nervous about traffic stops, you have every reason to be.

Thursday, May 20, 2021Total Tyranny: We'll All Be Targeted Under the Government's New Precrime Program Just as we get a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, there might be a chance of crawling out of this totalitarian cesspool in which we've been mired, we get kicked down again.
Thursday, May 13, 2021The Age of Fear: A Graduation Message for Terrifying Times With all that is crashing down upon us, from government-manipulated crises to the blowback arising from a society that has repeatedly prized technological expedience and mass-marketed values over self-ownership and individual sovereignty, those coming of age today are facing some of the greatest threats to freedom the world has ever witnessed.
Friday, April 30, 2021The Global Deep State: A new world order brought to you by COVID-19 For good or bad COVID-19 has changed the way we navigate the world. It is also redrawing the boundaries of our world and our freedoms and altering the playing field faster than we can keep up.
Wednesday, April 21, 2021Comply or Die: The Only Truly Compliant Person in a Police State Is a Dead One At a time when growing numbers of unarmed people have been shot and killed for just standing a certain way, or moving a certain way, or holding something-anything-that police could misinterpret to be a gun, or igniting some trigger-centric fear in a police officer's mind that has nothing to do with an actual threat to their safety, even the most benign encounters with police can have fatal consequences.
Tuesday, April 13, 2021Rule by Fiat: When the Government Does Whatever It Wants The list of abuses being perpetrated against the American people by their government is growing rapidly.
Tuesday, March 30, 2021Stand Up to Tyranny: How to Respond to the Evils of Our Age The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state and never its tool.
Wednesday, March 24, 2021After a Year Under Lockdown, Will Our Freedoms Survive the Tyranny of COVID-19? What started out a year ago as an apparent effort to prevent a novel coronavirus from sickening the nation (and the world) has become yet another means by which world governments (including our own) can expand their powers, abuse their authority, and further oppress their constituents.
Tuesday, March 16, 2021Digital Trails: How the FBI Is Identifying, Tracking and Rounding Up Dissidents With every new smart piece of smart technology we acquire, every new app we download, every new photo or post we share online, we are making it that much easier for the government and its corporate partners to identify, track and eventually round us up.
Tuesday, March 2, 2021Home Invasions: All the Ways the Government Can Lay Siege to Your Property Americans are not safe in their homes. Not anymore. This present menace comes from the government and its army of bureaucratized, corporatized, militarized mercenaries who are waging war on the last stronghold left to us as a free people: the sanctity of our homes.
Tuesday, February 23, 2021Machinery of Death: When the Government Acts as Judge, Jury and Executioner The government should not be in the business of killing its citizens. Nevertheless, the U.S. government continues to act as judge, jury and executioner over a populace that have been pre-judged and found guilty, stripped of their rights, and left to suffer at the hands of government agents trained to respond with the utmost degree of violence.
Tuesday, January 26, 2021Enemies of the Deep State: The Government's War on Domestic Terrorism Is a Trap We are moving fast down that slippery slope to an authoritarian society in which the only opinions, ideas and speech expressed are the ones permitted by the government and its corporate cohorts.
Wednesday, January 20, 2021The Deep State's Stealthy, Subversive, Silent Coup to Ensure Nothing Changes No doubt about it: the coup d'etat was successful.
Wednesday, January 13, 2021A Nation Imploding: Digital Tyranny, Insurrection and Martial Law This is what we have been reduced to: A violent mob. A nation on the brink of martial law.
