The Criminalization of Dissent
by C.J. Hopkins | May 7, 2021 | Featured Articles

by Jacob G. Hornberger | May 7, 2021 | Featured Articles

by Nebojsa Malic | May 6, 2021 | Featured Articles
I once thought the internet would have the same effect on corporate media gatekeepers as the AK-47 had on colonial empires in Africa. That was before Big Tech turned that promise of freedom into the second coming of feudalism. Wednesday’s decision by Facebook’s...

Congress Is Still Unfit to Govern
by James Bovard | May 6, 2021 | Congress Alert
“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap,” Napoleon is reputed to have said more than two centuries ago. Boundless ignorance is also not a handicap, as Congress demonstrated last December by approving a 5593-page bill without reading it. Plenty of activists and...
Searching for ‘Bigfoot’ — an American College that Stayed ‘Old Normal’ throughout the Coronavirus Panic
by Adam Dick | May 5, 2021 | Featured Articles
Maybe I would have better luck looking for Bigfoot in the forest than for an “old normal’ college or university in America. Attending a college or university has been very different for students in America over the last year-plus of coronavirus panic. There has been a...

by Ryan McMaken | May 5, 2021 | Featured Articles

Corporate News Outlets Again “Confirm” the Same False Story, While Many Refuse to Correct it
by Glenn Greenwald | May 4, 2021 | Featured Articles
One of the primary plagues of corporate journalism, which I have documented more times than I can count, just reared its ugly head again to deceive millions of people with fake news. When one large news outlet publishes a false story based on whispers from anonymous...
Welcome To Dystopia: Biden To Use ‘Private’ Firms To Spy On Americans
by Daniel McAdams | May 4, 2021 | The Liberty Report
CNN and other outlets reported yesterday that the Biden Administration is looking to get around laws restricting domestic spying on Americans by "partnering" with "private" entities and organizations to outsource the spying. The justification is the claimed rise in...
Will Special Interests Allow America’s ‘Longest War’ to Finally End?
by Ron Paul | May 3, 2021 | Featured Articles
Even if “won,” endless wars like our 20 year assault on Afghanistan would not benefit our actual national interest in the slightest. So why do these wars continue endlessly? Because they are so profitable to powerful and well-connected special interests. In fact, the...
It’s Aggression When ‘They’ Do It, but Defense When ‘We’ Do Worse

Who’s Lysenko-ing Now?
by Karen Kwiatkowski | May 3, 2021 | Featured Articles
Trofim Lysenko was a government-sponsored agronomist and biologist favored by Stalin and the CCCP. By favored, I mean put in charge, given power to define the terms and settle the science, and by government edict, was not to be criticized by man or beast. You know,...

Twitter isn’t censoring accounts to keep users ‘safe’, it is using its power to spoon-feed the world establishment narratives
by Eva Bartlett | May 1, 2021 | Featured Articles
It’s one thing to have policies against violence, abuse, and harassment. But in “protecting” users, Twitter is hell-bent on censoring voices that rock the boat, even when all they have tweeted is a peer-reviewed scientific paper. Last week, Simon Goddek, who has a PhD...
