By John & Nisha Whitehead And so it continues. This entire fiasco, indicting Donald Trump for allegedly violating both the Espionage Act and obstructing justice by improperly handling classified records, is merely the latest in a never-ending series of distractions, distortions, and political theater, aimed at diverting the public’s attention
By John & Nisha Whitehead We have become a nation in a permanent state of emergency. Power-hungry and lawless, the government has weaponized one national crisis after another in order to expand its powers and justify all manner of government tyranny in the so-called name of national security. COVID-19, for
By John & Nisha Whitehead Let’s be clear about one thing: Seditious conspiracy isn’t a real crime to anyone, but to the U.S. government. To be convicted of seditious conspiracy, the charge levied against Stewart Rhodes who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for being the driving force behind
By John & Nisha Whitehead Power corrupts, we know. In fact, we know it from experience learned the hard way at the hands of our own government. So, why is anyone surprised to learn that the FBI, one of the most power-hungry and corrupt agencies within the police state’s vast
By John & Nisha Whitehead Once again, the police state is up to its old tricks, stoking tensions over whether or not the government is forced to shut down, even partially, due to a default on the national debt. Yet while these political games dominate news headlines, send the stock
By John & Nisha Whitehead How far would you really go to secure the Nation’s borders in the so-called name of national security? Would you give the government limitless amounts of money? Surround the entire country with concrete walls and barbed wire? Erect a high-tech, virtual wall of AI-powered surveillance
By John & Nisha Whitehead What does it say about the state of our freedoms that there are now more pencil-pushing, bureaucratic (non-military) government agents armed with weapons than U.S. Marines? Among the agencies being supplied with night-vision equipment, body armor, hollow-point bullets, shotguns, drones, assault rifles, and LP gas
By John & Nisha Whitehead Absolutely, there is a war on free speech. To be more accurate, however, the war on free speech is really a war on the right to criticize the government. Although the right to speak out against government wrongdoing is the quintessential freedom, every day in
By John & Nisha Whitehead What the police state wants is a silent, compliant, oblivious, citizenry. What the First Amendment affirms is an engaged citizenry that speaks truth to power using whatever peaceful means are available to us. Speaking one’s truth doesn’t have to be the same for each person,
By John & Nisha Whitehead We’re not living the American dream. We’re living a financial nightmare. The U.S. government is funding its existence with a credit card. The government, and that includes the current administration, is spending money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford, and “we the taxpayers”
By John & Nisha Whitehead Let’s talk about fake news stories, shall we? There’s the garden variety fake news that is not really news so much as it is titillating, tabloid-worthy material peddled by anyone with a Twitter account, a Facebook page and an active imagination. These stories run the
By John & Nisha Whitehead We have become guinea pigs in a ruthlessly- calculated, carefully-orchestrated, chillingly-cold-blooded experiment in how to control a population and advance a political agenda without much opposition from the citizenry. This situation is mind-control in sinister form. With alarming regularity, the Nation is being subjected to
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
