The Biden Crackdown on Thought Crimes

by
The Biden administration is seeking to radically narrow the boundaries of respectable American political thought. The administration has repeatedly issued statements and reports that could automatically castigate citizens who distrust the federal government. We may eventually learn that the new Biden guidelines spurred a vast increase in federal surveillance and other abuses against Americans who were guilty of nothing more than vigorous skepticism. Biden is Nixon on steroids The Biden team is expanding the federal Enemies List perhaps faster than any time since the Nixon administration. In June, the Biden administration asserted that guys who are unable to score with women may be terrorist threats due to “involuntary celibate–violent extremism.” That revelation was included in the administration’s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, which identified legions of new potential “domestic terrorists” that the feds can castigate and investigate.

Stop Playing the Government’s Mind Games

“No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.”—Edward R. Murrow, broadcast journalist America is in the midst of an epidemic of historic proportions. The contagion being spread like wildfire is turning communities into battlegrounds and setting Americans one against the other. Normally mild-mannered individuals caught up in the throes of this disease have been transformed into belligerent zealots, while others inclined to pacifism have taken to stockpiling weapons and practicing defensive drills.

After several months in the hospital battling complications from COVID-19, The Future of Freedom Foundation’s longtime copy editor and friend Ronn Neff passed away last evening. Ronn was 72. The news came in the form of an email from Ronn’s longtime good friend Tom McPherren. Ronn has been FFFs copy editor for more than 25 years. But he was more than just an editor. He  was one of the most committed, passionate, knowledgeable, and principled libertarians you’d ever meet.  That meant that he fully understood FFF’s mission from the day he started editing for us: to present a principled, uncompromising case for the libertarian philosophy.  Thus, Ronn would always read our articles not only with grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes in mind but also with making certain that we did not inadvertently publish compromises of libertarian philosophy. He was invaluable to us.  Ronn was not only well-versed ...

People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn't even an enemy you could put your finger on.” — Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale The Constitution of the United States represents the classic solution to ...
