By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” – George Orwell It is the slippery slope that leads to the end of free speech as we once knew it. In a

By John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead It begins. We are moving quickly down that slippery slope to an authoritarian society in which the only opinions, ideas, and speech expressed are the ones permitted by the government and its corporate cohorts. In the wake of the January 6 riots at
By John W. Whitehead What should we expect in 2021? So far, it looks like this year is going to be plagued by more of the same brand of madness, mayhem, manipulation, and tyranny that dominated 2020. Frankly, I’m sick of it: The hypocrisy, the double standards, the delusional belief
By John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead It is what we have been reduced to: A violent mob. A Nation on the brink of martial law. A populace under house arrest. A techno-corporate state wielding its power to immobilize huge swaths of the country. And a U.S. Constitution in tatters.
By John W. 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, traveled to the little town of Bethlehem so that
By John W. Whitehead Early in the morning of Monday, Dec. 15, Google suffered a major worldwide outage in which all of its internet-connected services crashed, including Nest, Google Calendar, Gmail, Docs, Hangouts, Maps, Meet, and YouTube.

You’re next!”—Dr. Miles Bennell, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) It’s similar to the Invasion of the Body Snatchers all over again. The Nation
By John W. Whitehead Like it or not, the COVID-19 pandemic with its veiled threat of forced vaccinations, contact tracing, and genetically-encoded vaccines is propelling humanity at warp speed into a whole new frontier, a surveillance matrix, the likes of which we’ve only previously encountered in science fiction. Those who

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. More than terrorism, more than domestic extremism, more than gun violence and organized crime, even more than the perceived threat posed by any single
By John W. Whitehead The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us. Yet, no matter he winner of the November 3 presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same
By John W. Whitehead Things are falling apart. How much longer we can sustain the fiction that we live in a constitutional republic, I cannot say, but anarchy is being loosed upon the Nation. We are witnessing the unraveling of the American dream one injustice at a time. Day after
By John W. Whitehead Twenty years ago, a newspaper headline asked the question: “What’s the difference between a politician and a psychopath?” The answer, then and now, remains the same: None. There is no difference between psychopaths and politicians. Nor is there much of a difference between the havoc wreaked
By John W. Whitehead It is not an election. It is a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, a bunko, a swindle, a flimflam, a gaffle, and a bamboozle. In this carefully choreographed scheme to strip the American citizenry of our power and our rights, “we the people”
By John W. Whitehead John Lennon, born 80 years ago October 9, 1940, was a musical genius and pop cultural icon. He was also a vocal peace protester and anti-war activist, and a high-profile example of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to persecute those who dare
By John W. Whitehead Republicans and Democrats alike fear that the other major party will attempt to hijack this November 3 election. President Donald Trump has said he is convinced that mail-in ballots are a scam except in Florida, where it’s safe to vote by mail because of its “great
