John W. Whitehead: The Surveillance State Is Alive & Well

Life in the electronic concentration camp.      Bottle up the champagne, pack away the noisemakers, and toss out the party hats. There is no cause for celebration.

Stephen Lendman: Police State Europe

An opportunity for tyranny.       Churchill once said: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”  More recently, former Obama White House chief of staff/current Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel said earlier: “You never let a serious crisis go to waste.

We Are The Government: The Power Of Jury Nullification

by John W. Whitehead. Saddled with a corporate media that marches in lockstep with the government, elected officials who dance to the tune of their corporate benefactors, and a court system that serves to maintain order rather than mete out justice, Americans often feel as if they have no voice and no recourse when it comes to holding government    ...

A Dictatorship Disguised As A Democracy

by John W. Whitehead.     Peeling back the surface layer: What most Americans perceive as life in America—privileged, progressive and free—is a far cry from reality, where economic inequality is growing, real agendas and real power are buried beneath layers of Orwellian doublespeak and corporate obfuscation, and “freedom,” such that it is, is meted   ...

'1984' comes to Europe, next stop ...    Spain has shown that it is fully on board with the Brussels authoritarian direction of ending democracy. Those in power have simply convinced themselves that the people do not understand what is good for them so they must impose their will upon the people but raw force. How does this differ in any    ... MORE

A cautionary tale. Once upon a time, there was a nation of people who believed everything they were told by their government.

And when the government passed massive laws aimed at locking down the nation and     ... MORE
