Roger Kimball, Poetic Justice for the Biden ‘Ministry of Truth’

By Roger Kimball At some point in this column, I have probably had occasion to quote these famous lines from Walter Scott’s poem “Marmion”: “Oh, what a tangled web we weave When first we practice to deceive.”  In another, better world, I like to think, the Bidens and their protectors and puppet masters would ruefully be contemplating Scott’s admonitory observation. In this world, however, I suspect that—until quite recently, anyway—they had smugly sided with J.R. Pope’s sly amendment to Scott’s moralizing couplet: “But when we’ve practiced for a while  How vastly we…

Justice Neil Gorsuch Speaks Out Against Lockdowns and Mandates

by BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE In a statement made today on a case concerning Title 42, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch breaks the painful silence on the topic of lockdowns and mandates, and presents the truth with startling clarity. Importantly, this statement from the Supreme Court comes as so many other agencies, intellectuals, and journalists are in flat-out denial of what happened to the country. [T]he history of this case illustrates the disruption we have experienced over the last three years in how our laws are made and our freedoms observed. Since March 2020, we…

Paul Craig Roberts, The Suppression of Free Speech Has Close to Majority Support in America

Paul Craig Roberts Almost every minute of every day I see overwhelming evidence of America’s collapse as a free country.  Elon Musk conducted a poll on whether Twitter should allow President Trump to use the social media platform. Fifteen million people responded.  51.8% of the respondents said “yes,” but almost an equal number 48.2% said “no.”  In other words, almost half of the 15 million social media users who responded to the poll oppose free speech for a former president of the United States. No doubt, being as indoctrinated as they are,…

Harmeet K. Dhillon, The Politicization of the Department of Justice

Harmeet K. Dhillon The following is adapted from a speech delivered on September 16, 2022, in Washington, D.C., at Hillsdale College’s Constitution Day Celebration. The seal of the U.S. Department of Justice reads, “Qui Pro Domina Justitia Sequitur”—“Who prosecutes for Lady Justice.” Depictions of Lady Justice are as familiar as they are instructive: she stands blindfolded while holding the scales of justice, representing her unyielding devotion to equal justice under the law. Contrary to this ideal, the DOJ today appears to be increasingly motivated by partisanship. Compounding the problem, it…

Philip Geraldi, Killing the First Amendment: How “the Law” fails to deliver Justice

Philip Giraldi When one travels nearly anywhere in Europe where Medieval government centers, including courts, remain, one will frequently see the personification of a sometimes blindfolded woman representing Justice holding a sword in one hand and a scale or a scroll in the other. As soon as human beings came together to form governments, one of the first demands has always for justice that is accessible to all and that is readily understood. That is not to say that governments have not corrupted the mechanisms that were set up to…

Robert David Steele, Dr. James Fetzer on Thinking, Truth, JFK, False Flags, Fake News, & Censorship

Robert David Steele Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. James Madison, Founding Father Dr. James Fetzer, a Marine Corps artillery officer in the Viet-Nam era who then went on to earn a PhD in the history and philosophy of science, is one of America’s most proven and substantive critical thinkers, with twenty-three academic books focused on how to create intelligence (decision-support) with integrity. A few representative titles: Scientific Knowledge; Principles of Philosophical Reasoning;…

Steve Francis, The Sandy Hook Trial in Cultural Marxist Perspective

Steve Francis, Founder, NewsFollowUp.com I write in support of James Fetzer in light of the ‘absurd’, as he describes it, $450,000 award to the plaintiff in the Sandy Hook defamation legal proceedings. It seriously reminds us once again that our justice system can be used as a weapon against citizens who challenge the status quo. It also includes information on a recent protest action I held at the University of Illinois where its consideration is affected by Jim’s case.   In his Sandy Hook suit, there appear to be plenty of…

Carl Herman: The Sandy Hook “Show Trial”: Judge Violates Right for Jury to Determine Disputed Facts

Carl Herman  Dr. Jim Fetzer’s debrief on Sandy Hook ‘show trial’: Orwellian ‘judge’ violates right for jury to determine disputed facts, claims five versions of death certificate = ‘no differences,’ silences two expert witnesses proving multiple areas of forgery show trial: noun (especially in a totalitarian state) the public trial of a political offender conducted chiefly for propagandistic purposes, as to suppress further dissent against the government by making an example of the accused.   “Trial by jury; verdict in civil cases. Section 5. The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate,…

Dear Christian Zionist: Anti Semitism Law Will Make Christianity Illegal | Jack Mullen

Christian Zionism: “any Christian support for the national revival movement of the Jewish people realized through the establishment of the modern State of Israel.”  – National Council of Churches  Color of Law: an act done under the appearance of legal authorization, when in fact, no such right existed. It applies when a person is acting under real or apparent government authority. By Jack Mullen Follow @jackimullen An Iron Curtain around Free Speech in the United States is being constructed piecemeal as States legislate unconstitutional laws claiming to target “anti-Semitism.” These…
