The Jackboots Are Coming: Mass Arrests, Power Grabs and the Politics of Fear “Never has our future been more unpredictable, never have we depended so much on political forces that cannot be trusted to follow the rules of common sense and self-interest—forces that look like sheer insanity, if judged by the standards of other centuries.” […]
You’re Under Arrest: How the Police State Muzzles Our Right to Speak Truth to Power
You’re Under Arrest: How the Police State Muzzles Our Right to Speak Truth to Power “History shows that governments sometimes seek to regulate our lives finely, acutely, thoroughly, and exhaustively.

D Is for a Dictatorship Disguised as a Democracy “When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds […]

From Jesus Christ to Julian Assange: When Dissidents Become Enemies of the State “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.

Suspending the Constitution: In America Today, the Government Does Whatever It Wants
Suspending the Constitution: In America Today, the Government Does Whatever It Wants “That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary.

A New World Order: Brought to You by the Global-Industrial Deep State “There are no nations. There are no peoples … There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide and Exxon.

Government Eyes Are Watching You: We Are All Prisoners of the Surveillance State “We’re run by the Pentagon, we’re run by Madison Avenue, we’re run by television, and as long as we accept those things and don’t revolt we’ll have to go along with the stream to the eventual avalanche….

Is the U.S. Government Evil? You Tell Me [SHORT]
Is the U.S. Government Evil? You Tell Me [SHORT] Is the U.S. government evil? You tell me.

Tolerance Cuts Both Ways: Freedom for the Speech We Hate
Tolerance Cuts Both Ways: Freedom for the Speech We Hate Tolerance cuts both ways.

Dictator for Life: The Rise of the American Imperial President [SHORT]
Dictator for Life: The Rise of the American Imperial President [SHORT] I’m not a fan of Communist China.

Just recently, in fact, China—an economic and […]
Freedom or the Slaughterhouse? American Police State From A to Z
Freedom or the Slaughterhouse?

The Emergence of Orwellian Newspeak and the Death of Free Speech
The Emergence of Orwellian Newspeak and the Death of Free Speech “If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. Let him forget there is such a thing as war. If the government is inefficient, top-heavy, and […]
