A 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.

Make 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.

Drivers Beware: The Deadly Perils of Blank-Check Traffic Stops If you're nervous about traffic stops, you have every reason to be. For better or worse, from the moment you're pulled over, you're at the mercy of law enforcement officers who have almost absolute discretion to decide who is a threat, what constitutes resistance, and how harshly they can deal with the citizens they were appointed to "serve and protect."

Comply 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.

Home Invasions: All the Ways the Government Can Lay Siege to Your Property Americans are not safe in their homes. Not anymore.

Machinery of Death: When the Government Acts as Judge, Jury and Executioner The government should not be in the business of killing its citizens.

A 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. A populace under house arrest.
