By John Whitehead The 2020 presidential election may be over, but nothing really has changed. The U.S. government still poses the greatest threat to our freedoms.

How to create silence and displacement of the right-to-life moral values finally has been found, or, invented: A flu. The fatalities of COVID-19 are tragic,...
