By John & Nisha Whitehead Forty years past the time that George Orwell envisioned the stomping boot of Big Brother, the police state is about to pass off the baton to the surveillance state. Fueled by a melding of government and corporate power—the rise of the security industrial complex—this watershed
By John & Nisha Whitehead Sometimes 10 seconds is all the warning you get. Sometimes you don’t get a warning before all hell breaks loose. Imagine it, if you will: It’s the middle of the night. Your neighborhood is in darkness. Your household is asleep. Suddenly, you’re awakened by a
January 28, 2024Dear editor; “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union” begins the document establishing the framework upon which our country was governed, for approximately the next 237 years.

Oh my lord, my lord. Just when I thought it was safe to go back in The Voice with a new fun topic, here comes Wild Bill Suhayda riding full speed ahead on his donkey and shooting his flaming arrows in my direction and that of Chas Coddington as well.
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Wayne’s World Johnson, the author of the piece, was wrote I was wrong suggesting he wanted Donald Trump executed similar to Mussolini during the last days of World War Two. I eagerly read Wayne’s World for my many mistakes.. I wanted to find where I had
January 21, 2024Dear editor; The City of Aurora government and mayor Richard Irvin have decided 15 degrees is warm enough to close the shelters. How cruel. Margie Logman, Aurora
January 16, 2024Dear editor; Illinois governor JB Pritzker is back grandstanding for the news media, complaining about the immigration crisis trickling up to Illinois.

I’ve learned something new, dear reader! I’ve learned that The Voice has an “insane section” in its pages, according to Professor Bela Suhayda, the Wizard of Ooze. He failed as an historian. Now, he is trying his hand at psychiatry. His first patient was Wayne’s World Johnson. His second patient
January 11, 2024Dear editor; Happy New Year! Many of us, as we begin the new year, think about resolutions and goals for the year ahead. While you are doing this, consider taking a few minutes to think about what your philanthropic goals are for this year. Have you ever thought
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Democrats think men can become pregnant!! Speaking of insanity, Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s press secretary, told the Nation that police officers were killed in the January 6, 2021 riot. There won’t be a correction, or apology for this lie coming from the White House. A complicit mass
By John & Nisha Whitehead “When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.” —Richard Nixon Many years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: “What’s the difference between a politician and a psychopath?” The answer, then and now, remains the same: None. There is no difference
By John & Nisha Whitehead Will 2024 be the year the Deep State’s exercise in controlled chaos finally gives way to an apocalyptic dismantling of our constitutional republic, or what’s left of it? All the signs seem to point in this direction. For years now, the government has been pushing
January 2, 2024Dear editor; As we mark the third anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, it’s important to remember how we got to that moment and who was responsible for it. Donald Trump and his allies engaged in a months-long criminal conspiracy after the 2020 election. They spread lies about
December 30, 2023Dear editor; Some would like to believe that the issues today are all brand new. Believing that early American culture was not based on division, class wars and prejudice is to have blinders on. The issues today come from seeds planted long ago. America is filled with mind
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Not only hasn’t Donald Trump been convicted of insurrection, he hasn’t been charged with the crime. Special prosecutor Jack Smith, the henchman of the DOJ (Department of Justice) and Democrats, could have charged Trump with the crime, but realized he didn’t have a case. Perhaps Trump’s
With a major election coming up, it’s time to re-visit some necessary changes in the way we govern ourselves. Some of the following suggestions are not new, but they are nevertheless still worth considering. And some will require a constitutional amendment to bring them into being (“Y” = Yes, “N”
By John & Nisha Whitehead The Christmas story of a baby born in a manger is a familiar one. The Roman Empire, a police state in its own right, had ordered that a census be conducted. Joseph and his pregnant wife, Mary, traveled to the little town of Bethlehem so
Just when I thought it was safe to forget about the world and politics and go back to writing inane humorous (?) stuff, Wild Bill Suhayda pops out of his hovel to spew his baseless, non-existent, facts, this time about Hamas and Israel. In the first sentence of his drivel,
By John & Nisha Whitehead Once a dictator, always a dictator. Power-hungry, lawless, and steadfast in its pursuit of authoritarian powers, the government does not voluntarily relinquish those powers once it acquires, uses and inevitably abuses them. Likewise, any presidential candidate who promises to be a dictator on day one,
December 11, 2023Dear editor; Thank you to everyone who donated Christmas cards, dropping them off at Oswegoland Senior & Community Center, with supportive preparation by Rhonda Jaras and Pam Rhoads.
