Monday, November 9, 2020End the Government's War on America's Military Veterans It's time to end the government's war on the American people, and that includes military veterans.
Monday, November 2, 2020America After the Election: A Few Hard Truths About the Things That Won't Change Nothing taking place on Election Day will alleviate the suffering of the American people. Unless we do something more than vote, the government as we have come to know it--corrupt, bloated and controlled by big-money corporations, lobbyists and special-interest groups--will remain unchanged.
Tuesday, October 27, 2020Something Wicked This Way Comes: Anarchy Is Being Loosed Upon the Nation Things are falling apart. How much longer we can sustain the fiction that we live in a constitutional republic, I cannot say, but anarchy is being loosed upon the nation. We are witnessing the unraveling of the American dream one injustice at a time.
Tuesday, October 20, 2020Don't Vote for a Psychopath: Tyranny at the Hands of a Psychopathic Government There is no difference between psychopaths and politicians. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about Democrats or Republicans. Once psychopaths gain power, the result is usually some form of totalitarian government or a pathocracy. In other words, electing a psychopath to public office is tantamount to national hara-kiri. So why do we keep voting them in?
Friday, October 16, 2020The 2020 Election Bamboozle This is not an election. This is a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, a bunko, a swindle, a flimflam, a gaffle, and a bamboozle. In this carefully choreographed scheme to strip the American citizenry of our power and our rights, "we the people" are nothing more than marks, suckers, stooges, mugs, rubes, or gulls. We are victims of the Deep State's confidence game.
Wednesday, October 7, 2020John Lennon at 80: One Man Against the Deep State 'Monster' John Lennon, born 80 years ago on October 9, 1940, was a musical genius and pop cultural icon. He was also a vocal peace protester and anti-war activist, and a high-profile example of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to persecute those who dare to challenge its authority.
Tuesday, September 29, 2020The Election Has Already Been Hijacked Republicans and Democrats alike fear that the other party will attempt to hijack this election. Yet the damage has already been done. The outcome is a foregone conclusion: the Deep State will win and "we the people" will lose.
Wednesday, September 23, 2020Justice Sleeps and "We the People" Suffer: No, the U.S. Supreme Court Will Not Save Us It doesn't matter which party gets to pick the replacement to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court will not save us.
Tuesday, September 22, 2020Justice Sleeps and 'We the People' Suffer: No, the U.S. Supreme Court Will Not Save Us The U.S. Supreme Court will not save us. It doesn't matter which party gets to pick the replacement to fill Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg's seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The battle that is gearing up right now is yet more distraction and spin to keep us oblivious to the steady encroachment on our rights by the architects of the American Police State. Americans can no longer rely on the courts to mete out justice.
Saturday, September 19, 2020Virtual School Dangers - The Hazards of a Police State Education During COVID-19 Over the course of the past 30 years the need to keep the schools "safe" from drugs and weapons has become a thinly disguised, profit-driven campaign to transform them into quasi-prisons complete with surveillance cameras, metal detectors, police patrols, zero tolerance policies, lock downs, drug sniffing dogs, school resource officers, strip searches and active shooter drills.
Tuesday, September 15, 2020Virtual School Hazards of a Police State Education During COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has added yet another troubling layer to the ways in which students (and their families) can run afoul of a police state education now that school (virtual or in-person) is back in session. It's a train wreck just waiting to happen.
Wednesday, September 9, 2020Mile Markers of Tyranny: Losing Our Freedoms on the Road from 9/11 to COVID-19 You can map the nearly 20-year journey from the 9/11 attacks to the COVID-19 pandemic by the freedoms we've lost along the way. These have become mile markers on the road to tyranny.
Friday, September 4, 2020Since 9/11 the government's answer to every problem has been more government From 9/11 to COVID-19 "we the people" have acted the part of the helpless gullible victims desperately in need of the government to save us from whatever danger threatens. In turn the government has been all too accommodating and eager while also expanding its power and authority in the so-called name of national security.
Sunday, August 23, 2020The Great Election Fraud: Will Our Freedoms Survive Another Election? In a country of more than 330 million people, we are given only two choices for president. How is it that in a country teeming with creative, intelligent, productive, responsible, moral people, our vote too often comes down to pulling the lever for the lesser of two evils?
Thursday, August 13, 2020This Is Amerika: Where Fascism, Totalitarianism and Militarism Go Hand In Hand In Charlottesville, the government failed to uphold its constitutional mandates. The police failed to carry out their duties as peace officers. And the citizens found themselves unable to trust either the police or the government to do its job in respecting their rights and ensuring their safety.
Friday, August 7, 2020P Is for Predator State: The Building Blocks of P Is for Predator State: The Building Blocks of Tyranny from A to Z While America continues to fixate on the drama-filled reality show scripted by the powers-that-be, directed from the nation's capital, and played out in high definition across the country, the American Police State has moved steadily forward.
Thursday, July 9, 2020Tyranny Without a Tyrant: The Deep State's Divide-and-Conquer Strategy Is Working The seemingly righteous indignation full of sound and fury that in the end signifies nothing, the partisan divide that grows more impassable with every passing day -- is not leading us anywhere good.
Wednesday, June 24, 2020The Summer of Hate Meets the Age of Intolerance Censoring speech-toppling monuments-kowtowing to political correctness-is not the answer to what ails this nation.
Thursday, June 18, 2020Qualified Immunity Is How the Police State Stays in Power The system is rigged, the government is corrupt, and "we the people" continue to waste our strength by fighting each other rather than standing against the tyrant in our midst.
Monday, June 1, 2020This Is Not a Revolution. It's a Blueprint for Locking Down the Nation What is unfolding before us is not a revolution. The looting, the burning, the rioting, the violence: this is an anti-revolution. The protesters are playing right into the government's hands, because the powers-that-be want this. They want an excuse to lock down the nation and throw the switch to all-out martial law. They want a reason to make the police state stronger. It's happening faster than we can keep up.
