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,...
By John & Nisha Whitehead To a nation of snowflakes, Christmas has become yet another trigger word. Indeed, the season for giving has turned into the season for getting…and for getting offended. Over the years, Christmas casualties in the campaign to create one large national safe space have ranged from...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists. But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you. To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders. By the way, those...

By John & Nisha Whitehead We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet, what is being staged is not an election....
By John & Nisha Whitehead We have arrived at the dystopian future depicted in the 2005 film V for Vendetta, which is no future at all. Set in the year 2020, V for Vendetta (written and produced by the Wachowskis) provides an eerie glimpse into a parallel universe in which...
By John & Nisha Whitehead We are approaching a reckoning. This is the point, which the poet W. B. Yeats warned, when things fall apart and anarchy is loosed upon the world. We have seen this convergence before in Hitler’s Germany, in Stalin’s Russia, in Mussolini’s Italy, and in Mao’s...
By John & Nisha Whitehead For those who remember the days and months that followed 9/11, there is an unnerving feeling of déjà vu about the Hamas attacks on Israel. Once again the drums of war are sounding on the world stage, not that they ever really stopped. Israel is...
By John & Nisha Whitehead “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”—Theodore Roosevelt From being a nation in a permanent state of emergency, America’s crisis state has gone global. The military industrial complex, which has established itself as...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Pay no heed to the circus politics coming out of Washington D.C. because it’s just more of the same grandstanding by tone-deaf politicians oblivious to the plight of the citizenry. Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted by the competing news headlines cataloging the antics of...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Authoritarian control freaks out to micromanage our lives have become the new normal or, to be more accurate, the new abnormal when it comes to how the government relates to the citizenry. This overbearing despotism, which pre-dates the COVID-19 hysteria, is the very definition of...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Are you among the 41% of Americans who regularly attend church or some other religious service? Do you believe the economy is about to collapse and the government will soon declare martial law? Do you display an unusual number of political and/or ideological bumper stickers...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Those who gave us the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend, and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them. Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted...
By John & Nisha Whitehead First came 9/11, which the government used to transform itself into a police state. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which the police state used to test its lockdown powers. In light of the government’s tendency to exploit crises, legitimate or manufactured, and capitalize on the...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his ground-breaking “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom August 28, 1963, the Deep State has been hard at work turning King’s dream into a living nightmare. The end result of...
By John & Nisha Whitehead “Make no mistake about it…your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason.”—Justice Antonin Scalia dissenting in Maryland v. King Be warned: The DNA detectives are on the prowl. Whatever...
By John & Nisha Whitehead “When players are piled on top of each other after a mad scramble for a loose ball, it’s a free-for-all. There are no rules. Anything goes. That’s because there’s nobody in the pile to monitor what’s going on.” —Mike Thomas, sports editor What is playing...
By John & Nisha Whitehead There is new meaning to back-to-school in the United States today. Instead of being taught the three Rs of education (reading, writing and arithmetic), young people are being drilled in the three Is of life in the American police state: Indoctrination, intimidation, and intolerance. Indeed,...
By John & Nisha Whitehead “There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.” —Ray Bradbury What we are witnessing is the modern-day equivalent of book-burning which involves doing away with dangerous ideas—legitimate or not—and those who...
By John & Nisha Whitehead There’s a meme that circulated on social media a while back that perfectly sums up the polarized, manipulated mayhem, madness and tyranny that is life in the American police state today: “If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants,...
