By John W. Whitehead The U.S. government is still waging war on U.S. military veterans, especially veterans who exercise their First Amendment right to speak out against government wrongdoing.

By John & Nisha Whitehead Think twice before you call the cops to carry out a welfare check on a loved one. Especially if you value that person’s life. Particularly if that person is disabled, mentally ill, elderly, autistic, hearing impaired, suffering from dementia, or might have a condition that...

Pretty soon, you’ll start executing people for jaywalking, and executing people for traffic violations.”—“Dirty Harry” Callahan, Magnum Force When I say that warrior cops, hyped up on their own authority and the...

By John & Nisha Whitehead The U.S. government has become a master of deceit. It’s all documented, too. The government lies, cheats, steals, spies, kills, maims, enslaves, breaks the laws, overreaches its authority, and abuses its power at almost every turn and treats its citizens like faceless statistics and economic...
By John & Nisha Whitehead “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” — Abraham Lincoln In the United States today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned. “We...
