Rutherford Warns Florida ‘No Go Zone’ Law Could Chill First Amendment Activity, Thwart Citizen Journalists & Embolden Police Misconduct

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Recognizing the need for the government to strike that necessary yet delicate balance between liberty and safety, The Rutherford Institute has concluded that Florida’s “no go zone” law, which would criminalize approaching or remaining within 25 feet of a police officer or other first responder after having been warned not to approach, fails to strike that necessary balance.

The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer

“The madmen are in power.”— Philip K. Dick, The Man in the High Castle

The debate over U.S. foreign aid is a distraction.

That’s not to say that the amount of taxpayer money flowing to foreign countries in the form of military and economic assistance is insignificant. Even at less than 1% of the federal budget, the United States still spends more on foreign aid than any other nation.

The latest foreign aid spending bill includes $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan.

Since World War II, the U.S. has given more foreign aid to Israel than any other country ($318 billion), with the bulk of those funds designated for Israel’s military efforts.

Even so, more than 150 countries around the world receive U.S. taxpayer-funded assistance. Continue reading “The Global Deep State: A Fascist World Order Funded by the American Taxpayer”

Criminality in the White House: The Rise of the Political Psychopath

By John & Nisha Whitehead

“When the President does it, that means that it is not illegal.”—Richard Nixon

Many 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 on innocent lives by uncaring, unfeeling, selfish, irresponsible, parasitic criminals and elected officials who lie to their constituents, trade political favors for campaign contributions, turn a blind eye to the wishes of the electorate, cheat taxpayers out of hard-earned dollars, favor the corporate elite, entrench the military industrial complex, and spare little thought for the impact their thoughtless actions and hastily passed legislation might have on defenseless citizens.

We the Exploited: The U.S. Government Buys and Sells Its Citizens for Profit and Power

By John & Nisha Whitehead
November 15, 2023

Americans have become easy prey for hackers, scammers, snitches, spies, and con artists.

But don’t be fooled into thinking the government is protecting you.

To the contrary, the U.S. government is selling us (or rather, our data) to the highest bidders.

By the way, those highest bidders also include America’s political class and the politicians aspiring to get elected or re-elected. As the Los Angeles Times reports, “If you have been to a political rally, a town hall, or just fit a demographic a campaign is after, chances are good your movements are being tracked with unnerving accuracy by data vendors on the payroll of campaigns.”

Your phones, televisions and digital devices are selling you out to politicians who want your vote.

FBI raids could be blocked by sheriffs

Unless voters don’t hesitate to get involved, we can’t answer for the unconstitutional conduct of the Biden administration, but we can make our sheriffs answer why they are not standing up for us.

As much as federal agencies are running roughshod over average citizens, who have done nothing more than nonviolently voice their opinion on or near public property, their jurisdiction is limited.

“Really?” some may ask. Yes, really. The problem is that sheriffs have been conditioned to ignore the fact that they are endowed with the highest order of legal authority in the nation. The FBI, ATF, and other executive agencies have the proper ability to enforce warrants within a county outside of Washington, D.C. if the county sheriff allows them that latitude within their jurisdiction.

Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us

“We’ve got to face it. Politics have entered a new stage, the television stage. Instead of long-winded public debates, the people want capsule slogans—‘Time for a change’—‘The mess in Washington’—‘More bang for a buck’—punch lines and glamour.”— A Face in the Crowd (1957)

We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.

Yet what is being staged is not an election.

It’s a con game, a scam, a grift, a hustle, a bunko, a swindle, a flimflam, a gaffle, and a bamboozle, and “we the people” are nothing more than marks, suckers, stooges, mugs, rubes, or gulls. Continue reading “Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America: Voting Will Not Save Us”

New Dinesh D’Souza Film ‘Police State’ Is a Wakeup Call for America

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza has created a feature-length documentary film he hopes will alert the public to the danger posed to all of us by the rising American police state.

In a recent phone interview with The Epoch Times, Mr. D’Souza said that, even as a teenage immigrant to the United States, he was “mesmerized not only by the economic opportunity and upward mobility of this country, but also by America’s system of individual rights.

“These rights are enshrined in the Bill of Rights as unalienable, not open for negotiation.

Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Many Ways Our Rights Have Been Usurped Since 9/11

“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

Those who gave us the Constitution and the Bill of Rights believed that the government exists at the behest of its citizens. It is there to protect, defend and even enhance our freedoms, not violate them.

Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned. Continue reading “Death by a Thousand Cuts: The Many Ways Our Rights Have Been Usurped Since 9/11”

TRI Calls Foul: Police Twice Arrest the Wrong Man and Hold Him in Jail for Three Days Before Verifying His Identity

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Rutherford Institute is calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hold police accountable for misidentifying and wrongly arresting an innocent man twice in five years, then jailing him for three days before taking a few minutes to verify his identity Continue reading “TRI Calls Foul: Police Twice Arrest the Wrong Man and Hold Him in Jail for Three Days Before Verifying His Identity”

We the Targeted: How the Government Weaponizes Surveillance to Silence Its Critics

By John & Nisha Whitehead

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” — President Harry S. Truman

Ever since Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his groundbreaking “I Have a Dream” speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28, 1963, the Deep State has been hard at work turning King’s dream into a living nightmare.

The end result of the government’s efforts over the past 60 years is a country where nothing ever really changes, and everyone lives in fear.

Race wars are still being stoked by both the Right and the Left; the military-industrial complex is still waging profit-driven wars at taxpayer expense; the oligarchy is still calling the shots in the seats of government power; and the government is still weaponizing surveillance in order to muzzle anti-government sentiment, harass activists, and terrorize Americans into compliance.

This last point is particularly disturbing. Continue reading “We the Targeted: How the Government Weaponizes Surveillance to Silence Its Critics”
