How We Got a National-Security Police State, Part 2

by
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 The coin of the realm in any national-security state is fear. In order to induce people to surrender their rights and freedoms, officials have to inculcate deep fear within them. Thus, national-security officials are constantly coming up with official foreign enemies, opponents, rivals, and adversaries, as well as crises, to convince the citizenry that a national-security state is necessary to keep them safe and secure. Thus, during the conversion of the federal government to a national-security state after World War II, President Truman, who was presiding over the conversion, was told that he needed to scare the “hell” out of the American people. The big official enemy that was used to justify the conversion to a national-security state was communism. After the defeat of the Nazi regime in World War II, U.S. officials convinced Americans that, unfortunately, they could not rest on their laurels. The reason was that America now faced ...

Good Riddance on the Tiny Red Ripple

by
While we still don’t know how things are going to shake out with respect to control over Congress, conservatives and even some conservative-oriented libertarians are licking their wounds over the fact that their much-anticipated Great Red Wave turned out to be the Tiny Red Ripple.  I know that conservatives and conservative-oriented libertarians don’t like hearing this, but I say: Good riddance! There isn’t a bit of difference, in a fundamental sense, between Republicans and Democrats. They both are just fighting to control the welfare-warfare state, regulated-society that they both have foisted on the American people. Not only are they both destroying our nation from within, they are both increasingly determined to get our nation embroiled in life-ending nuclear war with both Russia and China. One of the funniest aspects of their political campaigns are their mantras, which truly reflect their moral bankruptcy and rank  hypocrisy.  For example, a favorite mantra of Democrats is, “We love ...

Why the JFK Assassination Should Matter to Everyone, Part 2

by
Part 1 | Part 2 When I finished reading Douglas Horne’s book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board, I knew that the Kennedy assassination could no longer legitimately be considered a “conspiracy theory.” Horne’s book pushed the assassination over the line by establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that the November 22, 1963, assassination was, in fact, a regime-change operation ...
