Sin Taxes & Other Orwellian Methods of Compliance That Feed the Government’s Greed

By John W. Whitehead

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”—C.S. Lewis

“Taxman,” the only song written by George Harrison to open one of the Beatles’ albums (it featured on the band’s 1966 Revolver album), is a snarling, biting, angry commentary on government greed and how little control “we the taxpayers” have over our lives and our money.

USMCA “Trade Agreement”, the North American Union, an Article V convention, and Red Flag Laws: Connecting the dots

By Publius Huldah

The Globalists have long been in the process of setting up a dictatorial and totalitarian oligarchy over the United States. Now they are putting the last pieces in place. That is what is behind the pushes for the USMCA “Trade Agreement,” an Article V convention, and red-flag and other laws to disarm the American People. The Globalists want to move the United States into the North American Union.

Washington D.C. is Like a Broken Down Car

By: Mike Maharrey

If you have a car that’s up on blocks without any wheels and a rusted out engine, you’re not going to get it running by switching out drivers.

And yet this is the strategy most people use when it comes to politics. They focus all of their time, energy, and money on getting the “right people” elected to go to D.C.

And nothing ever changes.

Betraying the Constitution: Who Will Protect Us from an Unpatriotic Patriot Act?

By John W. Whitehead

“It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”—Thomas Paine

While Congress subjects the nation to its impeachment-flavored brand of bread-and-circus politics, our civil liberties continue to die a slow, painful death by a thousand cuts.

Case in point: while Americans have been fixated on the carefully orchestrated impeachment drama that continues to monopolize headlines, Congress passed and President Trump signed into law legislation extending three key provisions of the USA Patriot Act, which had been set to expire on December 15, 2019.

Oppose a Disease at its Beginning

By: 

If you give politicians an inch, they’ll take a mile.

John Dickinson was one of the leading writers in the early days of the conflict. He insisted that the colonists needed to “oppose a disease at its beginning,” before the sickness could spread.

Writing under the penname “A Farmer in Pennsylvania,” Dickinson published a series of essays now known as  Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania in a Philadelphia newspaper. Dickinson used his pen to vigorously oppose the Declaratory and Townshend Acts.

U.S. Federal Reserve Notes: “Money” Backed By Nothing

By: 

At one time, the U.S. monetary system was backed by gold. Now it’s not backed by anything.

But most Americans don’t realize this. In fact, nearly a third of respondents to a recent survey believe the U.S. dollar is still backed by gold. Only 7 percent of the people polled got the answer right – the dollar isn’t actually backed by anything.

Meanwhile, 29.3 percent said the dollar was backed by gold, 4.1 percent said it was backed by oil, 5.8 percent said it was backed by bonds and 23.6 percent confessed that they simply didn’t know.

Don’t Just Give Thanks. Pay Your Blessings Forward

By John W. Whitehead

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”—John F. Kennedy

Once again, it’s been a hard, heart-wrenching, stomach-churning kind of year.

It’s been a year of hotheads and blowhards and killing sprees and bloodshed and takedowns.

It’s been a year in which tyranny took a few more steps forward and freedom got knocked down a few more notches.

Patriot Act Renewal: A Bipartisan Attack on Liberty Since Day One

By: 

With another so-called federal “shutdown” looming, a measure to fund the feds for another 3 months just passed the House. Expect it to pass the Senate and get signed. Included near the very end of the legislation is a clean and full reauthorization of the Patriot Act – one of the most unconstitutional acts in US history.
