You’re Probably Already on a Government Extremism List

by
“In a closed society where everybody’s guilty, the only crime is getting caught.”—Hunter S. Thompson According to the FBI, you may be an anti-government extremist if you’ve: a) purchased a Bible or other religious materials, b) used terms like “MAGA” and “Trump,” c) shopped at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Cabela’s, or Bass Pro Shops, d) purchased tickets to travel by bus, cars, or plane, e) all of the above. In fact, if you selected any of those options in recent years, you’re probably already on a government watchlist. That’s how broadly the government’s net is being cast in its pursuit of domestic extremists. We’re all fair game now, easy targets for inclusion on some FBI watch list or another. When the FBI is asking banks and other financial institutions to carry out dragnet searches of customer transactions—warrantlessly and without probable cause—for “extremism” indicators broadly based on where you shop, what you read, and how you travel, we’re all in trouble. Clearly, you ...

The Big Lie of 9/11

by
Yesterday -- September 11 -- the Los Angeles Times carried an op-ed entitled “A History of the ‘Big Lie,’ from Plato to TikTok.” The article stated, “If you look back at history, lying is as old as humans.” The author, Mark Kurlansky, points to several examples of lies, including lies told by the Soviets, the Nazis, and even Donald Trump. Unfortunately, however, Kurlansky failed to cite one of the biggest lies of our lifetime, the one President Bush, the Pentagon, the CIA, and other U.S. officials told immediately after the 9/11 attacks, when they claimed that the terrorists had struck because they hated America for its “freedom and values.” It was a lie, and the liars knew it was a lie. And it was a Big Lie, one that was later used to justify invading, occupying, and destroying two countries and killing hundreds of thousands of people in the process. How do we know that U.S. ...

Restore Our Republic

by
As predictable as thunder following lightning, former CIA director Robert Gates recently declared that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s increasing assertiveness demonstrate the need for the U.S. government to remain an ever-growing, more powerful national-security state. Gates’s declaration appeared in an op-ed in the March 3, 2022, issue of the Washington Post. He also pointed to Iran and North Korea as subsidiary threats to U.S. “national security.” Gates has it all wrong. The worst mistake the American people have ever made was permitting their federal government to be converted to a national-security state. That mistake not only contributed to the destruction of the rights and liberties of the American people: It also plunged our nation into an orgy of death and destruction in foreign countries as well as monetary and fiscal debauchery here at home. Today, Americans would be best off ridding our nation of its national-security state and restoring our founding governmental system of a limited-government republic. For the ...

Trump Got Played in Singapore, But That’s a Good Thing

by
Conservatives are a fascinating lot. Throughout the Cold War, they steadfastly maintained that the Cold War was necessary because communist tyrants were hell-bent on conquering the United States and subjugating the American people. That’s in fact why the U.S. national-security establishment intervened in the Korean War and the Vietnam War and sacrificed more than 100,000 U.S. soldiers — supposedly ...
