By John & Nisha Whitehead It is easy to be distracted right now by the bread and circus politics that have dominated the news headlines lately, but don’t be distracted. Don’t be fooled, not even a little. We’re being subjected to the oldest con game in the books, the magician’s...
By John & Nisha Whitehead If you give the government an inch, it will always take a mile. This situation is how the slippery slope to all-out persecution starts. This particular slippery slope has to do with the government’s use of geofence technology, which uses cell phone location data to...
By John & Nisha Whitehead There was a time when the U.S. census was just a head count. That is no longer the case. The American Community Survey (ACS), sent to about 3.5 million homes every year, is the byproduct of a government that believes it has the right to
By John & Nisha Whitehead It’s hard to say whether we’re dealing with a kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves), a kakistocracy (a government run by unprincipled career politicians, corporations and thieves that panders to the worst vices in our nature and has little regard for the rights of American...
By John & Nisha Whitehead “Autocrats only understand one word: no, no, no. No you will not take my country, no you will not take my freedom, no you will not take my future… A dictator bent on rebuilding an empire will never be able to ease the people’s love...
By John & Nisha Whitehead The government wants us to bow down to its dictates. It wants us to buy into the fantasy that we are living the dream, when in fact, we are trapped in an endless nightmare of servitude and oppression. Indeed, with every passing day, life in...
By John & Nisha Whitehead Step away from the blinders that partisan politics uses to distract, divide, and conquer, and you will find that we are drowning in a cesspool of problems that individually and collectively threaten our lives, liberties, prosperity, and happiness. These are not problems the politicians want...
By John & Nisha Whitehead That the police officers charged with the beating death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols are black is a distraction. Don’t be distracted. This latest instance of police brutality is not about racism in policing, or black-on-black violence. The entire institution is corrupt. The old guard, made...
By John & Nisha Whitehead It takes a special kind of evil to both promote prostitution and traffick a child for sex, and yet this evil walks among us every minute every day. Consider: Every two minutes, a child is bought and sold for sex. Hundreds of young girls and...
By John & Nisha Whitehead In this age of ubiquitous surveillance, there are no private lives: Everything is public. Surveillance cameras mounted on utility poles, traffic lights, businesses, and homes. License plate readers. Ring doorbells. GPS devices. Dash cameras. Drones. Store security cameras. Geofencing and geotracking. FitBits. Alexa. Internet-connected devices....
By John & Nisha Whitehead How do you trust a government that continuously sidesteps the U.S. Constitution and undermines our rights? You can’t. When you consider all the ways “we the people” are being bullied, beaten, bamboozled, targeted, tracked, repressed, robbed, impoverished, imprisoned and killed by the government, one only...
By John & Nisha Whitehead For those wondering what to expect from the government this year, it looks as though we’re going to be in for more of the same in the government’s brand of madness, mayhem, corruption, and brutality. Digital prisons. Unceasingly, the government and its corporate partners are...
December 28, 2022Dear editor; I appreciate the John and Nisha Whiteheads’ effort to warn of the “undermining” of the U.S. Constitution by Congress, the White House, and the courts. However, the Whiteheads’ commentary lacks real substance behind exaggerated, inflammatory, and at times, dubious rhetoric. They state: “We are in the...
By John & Nisha Whitehead The danger signs were everywhere in 2022. With every new law enacted by federal and state legislatures, every new ruling handed down by government courts, and every new military weapon, invasive tactic and egregious protocol employed by government agents, we were reminded that in the...
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, took a journey to the little town of...
By John & Nisha Whitehead You’d better watch out, you’d better not pout, you’d better not cry, ‘cos I’m telling you why: This Christmas, it’s the Surveillance State that’s making a list and checking it twice, and it won’t matter whether you’ve been bad or good. You’ll be on this...
By John & Nisha Whitehead The purpose of a good government is to protect the lives and liberties of its people. Unfortunately, we have gone so far in the opposite direction from the ideals of a good government that it’s hard to see how this trainwreck can be redeemed. It...
By John & Nisha Whitehead The votes are in. No matter who runs for office, no matter who controls the White House, Senate, or the House of Representatives now or in the future, “we the people” already have lost. We have lost because the future of this Nation is being...
November 2, 2022Dear editor; This is in response to “First Amendment, Bill of Rights Key to Democracy” by John and Nisha Whitehead in The Voice October 13. The Whiteheads’ commentary is a meandering, somewhat paranoid anti-government diatribe with a paucity of factual reasoning. Most troubling to me is the apparent...
