Police Have the Right to Lie and Slander

Police Have the Right to Lie and Slander

by | Sep 12, 2024 |

To serve and protect, police are allowed to slander and destroy. Cops in many states and localities have acquired the right to lie about their shootings, searches, and practically anything else. Police have routinely planted drugs, guns, and other evidence to incriminate innocent people, while police labs have engaged in wholesale fraud blighting tens of thousands of lives. From a trickle to a torrent Supreme Court rulings turned a trickle of police perjury into a torrent. In 1967, the Supreme...

Tampa Trial on Free Speech Exposes US Hypocrisy

Tampa Trial on Free Speech Exposes US Hypocrisy

by | Sep 11, 2024 |

As I have written in my last two blog posts (here and here), the US government is prosecuting members of a small political group named the African People’s Socialist Party and its related “Uhuru” movement. The trial is taking place in US District Court in Tampa. The group has been advocating socialism and opposing US imperialism for around 50 years. The feds are prosecuting them as part of their anti-Russia crusade that US officials have been waging since even before the end of World...

‘Perceived Criticism’: CEO Katherine Mayer Defends NPR’s Coverage and Culture

‘Perceived Criticism’: CEO Katherine Mayer Defends NPR’s Coverage and Culture

by | Sep 11, 2024 |

National Public Radio has had a rough go in the last few years with declining audiences, financial shortfalls, and the recent exposure of its political bias by longtime editor Uri Berliner. However, if you tuned into the comments of NPR CEO Katherine Maher this week at the Texas Tribune Festival,  you would think that the only challenging decision for NPR is picking the design of the next pledge drive tote bag. Despite comments that were repeatedly evasive...

Enabling a ‘Brutus’ to Slay the Elon Musk ‘Caesar’

Enabling a ‘Brutus’ to Slay the Elon Musk ‘Caesar’

by | Sep 10, 2024 |

In the Washington Post on Monday, the headlines read: Musk and Durov are facing the revenge of the regulators. Former US Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, in the British Guardian newspaper, published a piece on how to “rein-in” Elon Musk, suggesting that “regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest” on lines of that which befell Pavel Durov recently in Paris. As should be clear to all now, “war” has broken out. There is no need for further pretence about it. Rather, there is...

Pro-War Lobby Attacks Russian Influencers

by | Sep 10, 2024 |

In recent weeks, there has been a surge of allegations that Moscow has long orchestrated an illegal campaign to influence U.S. public opinion. On September 4, 2024, the Justice Department charged two Russian media executives with an alleged scheme that authorities say illegally funneled millions of dollars to a Tennessee-based company [Tenet] to create and publish propaganda videos that racked up millions of views on U.S. social media. In a separate legal action, prosecutors seized...

The First Steps Toward a Liberty Platform

The First Steps Toward a Liberty Platform

by | Sep 9, 2024 |

Last weekend several hundred of us gathered in Washington, DC, at the Ron Paul Institute conference to again proclaim our dedication to the cause of liberty and our opposition to constant US government assaults on that liberty. Our collaborators included old friends like Judge Andrew Napolitano, who explained that the Bill of Rights was not added to the Constitution to grant Americans liberties, but to recognize liberties already existing for all persons – regardless of nationality – by virtue...

Trump Winning the Presidential Debate May Be No Big Deal

Trump Winning the Presidential Debate May Be No Big Deal

by | Sep 7, 2024 |

When Donald Trump debated Joe Biden in June in their one and only debate of this year’s presidential contest, the outcome was monumental. Biden’s very diminished state shone through clearly, leading to him being forced out of the race by people in his own party. It is important to understand that Biden’s withdrawal did not follow alone from Trump winning the debate. Just about everyone expected that Trump would win the debate. The key additional issue was whether Biden would perform at a level...

The 2024 Ron Paul Peace and Prosperity Conference: The Liberty Platform Revealed

by | Sep 7, 2024 |

For two days it felt like heaven was a place on earth: I was at the Ron Paul Institute (RPI) for Peace and Prosperity Conference. More than 300 liberty-loving individuals from all over America and beyond – for example, London – ranging in age from senior citizens to a crying baby – gathered at the event. The conference was held 20+ miles from where the Pentagon plots its wars and the rest of the federal government violates the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In this presidential election...

John Mearsheimer & Ron Paul Invade Washington, Blast Permanent War State: ‘Social Engineering At The End Of A Rifle Barrel’

by | Sep 6, 2024 |

The man who for decades had been an almost lone Congressional advocate of non-interventionism in American foreign policy is former Congressman Ron Paul. When he ran for president in 2008, he took what the late Justin Raimondo called "libertarian realism" to the masses in the famous moment wherein he tangled with Rudy Giuliani on the GOP debate stage. Paul described that "blowback" resulting from Washington militarism and adventurism abroad was a contributing cause of 9/11....

‘How I Got Fired From The CIA’: Career Ops Officer Tells All

by | Sep 6, 2024 |

Americans are by now familiar with a handful of whistleblowers who after spending years employed by the US intelligence community (IC) eventually saw enough to make them angry and throw away the safety of their future government careers by exposing state secrets to the public. Names like Snowden, Manning, Kiriakou or John Stockwell, William Binning and Thomas Drake (both of NSA whistleblower fame) are well-known, especially in independent and alternative media circles.  But lesser known...

Children of Big Brother: What It Means to Go Back-to-School in the American Police State

by | Sep 5, 2024 |

It’s not easy being a child in the American police state. Danger lurks around every corner and comes at you from every direction, especially when Big Brother is involved. Out on the streets, you’ve got the menace posed by police officers who shoot first and ask questions later. In your neighborhoods, you’ve got to worry about the Nanny State and its network of busybodies turning parents in for allowing their children to walk to school alone, walk to the...

Now, the Feds Are Spying on Congress

Now, the Feds Are Spying on Congress

by | Sep 5, 2024 |

“Those who have sown the wind shall reap the whirlwind.”-- Hosea 8:7 The federal antipathy to compliance with the Constitution is well known and well documented. Presidents have declared war in contravention of the constitutional command that only Congress may do so. Congress itself has enacted legislation in areas that the drafters of the Constitution reserved to the states -- and it has done so using some of the more absurd linguistic contortions thinkable. In one infamous case where the...

Tyranny Is Closer Than You Realize

by | Sep 5, 2024 |

It is strange that there is no discussion of it, but in two weeks and one day on September 18 Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president in the November election in two months, is scheduled by a corrupt Democrat “judge” to be sentenced for 34 felony counts pulled out of thin air by a corrupt Democrat prosecutor for how Trump’s accountants reported an expense. Trump’s accountants reported the expense as a legal expense, which was a reasonable classification of the expense, but the...

TSA Tyranny Goes Cutesy

TSA Tyranny Goes Cutesy

by | Sep 3, 2024 |

In the glorious age of the Kamala Ascendency, the TSA is no longer restraining its contempt for American travelers. After squeezing millions of butts and boobs and never catching a terrorist, TSA decided to have fun by taunting its victims.  After a traveler asked online, “Why does TSA need social media anyways?” TSA’s Instagram account taunted: “Idk Kyle, why do your friends keep bringing stuff they shouldn’t in their carry-on?” Almost 40,000 people liked that post (slightly fewer than...

Robert Reich Calls for the Arrest of Elon Musk for Resisting Censorship

by | Sep 3, 2024 |

We have previously discussed the anti-free speech views of Clinton’s former Labor Secretary, Robert Reich, who has tried to sell citizens on the perfectly Orwellian view that more freedom means tyranny when it comes to the freedom of expression. He also demanded that former president Donald Trump be banned from ballots as a “traitor” — all in the name of protecting democracy from itself. Last week, Reich wrote a column declaring Elon Musk “out of...

Russia Updating Nuclear Weapon Doctrine Due To Western ‘Escalation’ Of Ukraine War

In the latest worrisome saber-rattling sparked by the US-led proxy war in Ukraine, Russia announced it's revising its doctrine on the use of nuclear weapons, saying a change has been necessitated by "escalation" initiated by the country's Western adversaries.  Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told TASS that the update was precipitated by an analysis of  "recent conflicts" including "Western adversaries’ escalation course" in the Ukraine...
