The United States of Tyranny: America Is Becoming a Constitution-Free Zone
John & Nisha Whitehead
“If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
James Madison
It’s no joke: America is becoming a Constitution-free zone. Little by little, our rights are being whittled down in the name of national security.
Where do you draw the line?
How much tyranny will Americans tolerate in the name of national security?
At what point does this slippery slope of power grabs lead to dictatorship?
Will we let border police trample on the rights of everyone they encounter, including legal residents and citizens? Turn a blind eye when men, women and children are forcibly detained by gangs of plainclothes agents and made to disappear? Will we accept a national ID card that enables the government to target individuals and groups it deems undesirable? Will we tolerate AI-powered surveillance cameras and drones that track us more effectively than they protect us? Will we censor ourselves, fearing that any expression of dissent will mark us as anti-government?
Will we abandon the constitutional principles our founders fought for? This is the bargain the police state demands of us.
Take immigration, for example.
President Trump wants us to believe that the nation’s security is so threatened by illegal immigrants that we should tolerate roving bands of ICE and border patrol agents disregarding the Constitution at every turn.
But these government agents aren’t just disregarding it—they’re trampling it with the blessing of the man who swore to “preserve, protect and defend” that very same Constitution.
First Amendment rights to free speech, assembly, and protest. Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. Fifth Amendment guarantees of due process. Sixth Amendment protections ensuring a right to legal counsel. Eighth Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishments. Fourteenth Amendment rights to equal protection under the law.
All of these and more are being imperiously swept aside in the Trump Administration’s pursuit of an America “for Americans and Americans only.”
Trump has invoked wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act to justify the expulsion of illegal immigrants, whom Trump has likened to terrorists, killers, criminals, and enemies of the state.
However, with national security being used as a pretext to strip away rights on a larger scale than just criminals, the individuals targeted by the Trump Administration’s overreach represent a broader cross-section of American society: immigrants, both documented and undocumented, who live and work in the mainland of the United States. (It is estimated that undocumented immigrants paid nearly $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2022, contributing $59.4 billion to the federal government, including payments for federal income tax and federal social insurance such as Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance. In other words, they are paying for entitlement programs for which they do not receive benefits.)
Individuals whose visas allow them to legally reside in the U.S. are also being rounded up and made to disappear without due process.
The reports of how these round-ups are being carried out—with ambushes on city streets, in broad daylight, at the hands of masked, plainclothes officers, and without any charges being levied, court hearings or defense attorneys notified—are beyond chilling.
Some are being targeted based on their nationality. Some are being racially profiled. Some are being classified as criminal based solely on the fact that they have tattoos. Some, like Abrego Garcia, are being mistakenly snatched up and deported to private prisons in foreign countries, beyond the physical reach of U.S. courts.
As Garcia’s attorney warned, the Trump Administration seems to have adopted the mindset that “the government can deport whoever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want, and no court can do anything about it once it’s done.”
And then there are the scientists, doctors, academics and students who are being rounded up because at some point they voiced their concerns about the mounting death toll in Palestine.
With the Trump Administration now equating even the perception of antisemitism as terrorism, that puts anyone in the government crosshairs who even dares to suggest that the killing of civilian women and children in Palestine is wrong.
For example, Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk wrote an op-ed calling for the university to divest from companies with ties to Israel. That’s all it took for her to be placed on the government’s enemies list, stripped of her visa without warning or notice, surrounded on the street by a small army of masked agents, and whisked out of state to a detention center 1500 miles away without any family or friend knowing her whereabouts.
These arbitrary roundups and deportations are not just violations of the Fifth Amendment’s due process protections. They also trample the First Amendment’s right to free speech and assembly, particularly for those who speak out against government policies.
These actions are not limited to just immigrants or perceived enemies—they extend to anyone daring to challenge the status quo. Whether it’s activists, academics, or everyday citizens, being targeted for political expression is an assault on the very essence of free speech.
In this way, these round-ups represent the beginning of the slippery slope, leading not just to arbitrary detentions and the expansion of private prisons as an extension of the police state but to an eventual authoritarian regime where dissent is suppressed, and constitutional rights are discarded.
This is not just happening at the southern border.
These round-ups are increasingly occurring in cities like New York, Boston, and northern Virginia, with many U.S. citizens also being swept up in warrantless searches, surveillance, and overreach from federal and local law enforcement.
Where once the nation’s border constituted a thin line, it is becoming an ever-thickening zone dominated by authoritarianism and an utter disregard for the rule of law.
This zone impacts millions of Americans who have never been near a border—citizens who live in everyday places, like urban and suburban areas, yet are subject to government overreach.
As journalist Todd Miller explains, that expanding border region now extends “100 miles inland around the United States—along the 2,000-mile southern border, the 4,000-mile northern border and both coasts… This ‘border’ region now covers places where two-thirds of the US population (197.4 million people) live… The ‘border’ has by now devoured the full states of Maine and Florida and much of Michigan.”
In this authoritarian reshaping of America, no one is safe, not even in their own homes.
The government’s ever-expanding, Constitution-free zone translates to greater numbers of Americans being subject to warrantless searches, ID checkpoints, transportation checks, and even surveillance on private property far beyond the boundaries of the borderlands.
From facial recognition software to mass data collection, surveillance technology is being used to monitor immigrants and ordinary citizens alike who are not suspected of any crime.
With Trump considering plans to turn a portion of the southern border into an expansive military installation policed by active-duty troops, we’re going to see even more of these assaults on our freedoms. As Trump promised after Columbia University graduate Mahmoud Khalil was arrested because of his anti-war activism, “This is the first arrest of many to come.”
Miller explains:
“In these vast domains, Homeland Security authorities can institute roving patrols with broad, extra-constitutional powers backed by national security, immigration enforcement and drug interdiction mandates. There, the Border Patrol can set up traffic checkpoints and fly surveillance drones overhead with high-powered cameras and radar that can track your movements. Within twenty-five miles of the international boundary, CBP [Customs and Border Protection] agents can enter a person’s private property without a warrant.”
Across the nation, local police forces are becoming militarized extensions of federal agencies like CBP and DHS, routinely receiving federal funds and training to act as armed enforcers of national security policies. By the time you add the military into that equation, you’ve got all the necessary ingredients for martial law.
The CBP, with its more than 60,000 Customs and Border Protection employees, supplemented by the National Guard and the U.S. military, is an arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a national police force imbued with all the brutality, ineptitude and corruption such a role implies.
Just about every nefarious deed, tactic or thuggish policy advanced by the government today can be traced back to the DHS, its police state mindset, and the billions of dollars it distributes to local police agencies in the form of grants to transform them into extensions of the military.
As Miller points out, the government has turned the nation’s expanding border regions into “a ripe place to experiment with tearing apart the Constitution, a place where not just undocumented border-crossers, but millions of borderland residents have become the targets of continual surveillance.”
In much the same way that police across the country have been schooled in the art of sidestepping the Constitution, border agents have nearly unlimited discretion to stop, search, interrogate and arrest anyone they “suspect,” based on arbitrary factors such as:
- Driving an unusual vehicle.
- Passengers appearing “suspicious.”
- Having a dusty or modified car.
- Avoiding eye contact or looking too long at an officer.
These arbitrary and broad criteria make it easy for any citizen to be targeted without just cause, turning everyday travel into a potential confrontation with law enforcement. In other words, anything goes when it comes to the police state’s justifications for undermining our rights.
These troubling developments at the borders are just one part of a broader erosion of constitutional rights that has been underway for decades in the name of national security.
When we look back at history, we see a consistent pattern of political power grabbing in the name of national security. From the Alien and Sedition Acts to the War on Terror, the price of security is always paid by our freedoms—and each step we take brings us closer to a system where those in power determine the limits of our liberty by using national security as an excuse to curtail fundamental freedoms.
Fast-forward to the present, and Donald Trump capitalized on this historical pattern by claiming that the only way to keep America safe from dangerous immigrants was to build an expensive border wall, expand the reach of border patrol, and enlist the military to “assist” with border control.
Continuing this trend, Joe Biden sent thousands of active-duty troops to the southern border, in anticipation of more than 10,000 illegal crossings per day—reinforcing the military presence and fortifying the unchecked power at the border.
And now Trump is doubling down on everything he and his predecessors have done to fortify this unchecked power.
This pattern of exploiting national security fears for authoritarian control has continued into the present day with Trump’s immigration crisis becoming a pretext for greater control, a strategy to stoke fear and justify authoritarianism.
Yet despite the propaganda coming from the White House, the looming problem is not so much that the U.S. is being invaded by hostile forces at the border, but rather that the U.S. Constitution is under assault from within by a power-hungry cabal at the highest levels of power.
Before long, the only Americans qualified to live freely in Trump’s America will be those who march in lockstep with the Deep State’s dictates, and even absolute compliance is no guarantee of safety.
It used to be that the Constitution was our only reliable safety net, but that is being systematically dismantled.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, the government is now the greatest threat to our safety, and there’s no border wall big enough to protect us from these ruffians in our midst.
The answer to this growing tyranny begins with us—“We the people.”
The Constitution should not be negotiable. Freedom is not negotiable.
You want to make America great again? Start by making America free again.

I hope you don’t mind, but I really need to share this! (I am UK in origin but a permanent resident in Spain….I escaped the Brexit tyranny 8 years ago )
Its because Americans love their ‘f-cking Brits’.
A majority of Americans wish to come back under British rule again, be ruled by a real King with deep roots in Western culture. Away from their own self-hating whopper culture.
America’s heritage is the British language, and the US citizen know it!
They know they cant run from their roots, and Americans are therefore more than prepared to bend over as much as it takes, to come back to Mama England again.
Obviously the people behind the curtain during the Biden era (featuring the man with the signing machine) let so many undesirables into the country so that the successor with the tariff hammer can also use the countermeasures against his own population. This is called intrigue between pseudo-opponents.
The founders revolted over a few cents taxed on their tea. Here we are now with one half to 2/3rds of our salaries going to the government.
The strongest shoulders must bear the heaviest burden for;
the weak immigrants,
the weak refugees,
vulnerable LGBT people,
the drug addicts,
the Homeless,
people on social charges,
the Disabled in their Mercedes Benz wheel chairs,
little Jimmy with his Teddy Bear and his nightmares over the lack of democracy in Ukraine.
the many prisons filled up with people who refuse to work.
Be proud of yourselves that your are healthy enough!
Americans haven’t said “Tax the Rich!” for nearly a hundred years. So there’s where at least 1/3 of their salaries go. Then another third goes to the military because Americans are terrified someone will take away what “little” they have (their “little” being a lot compared to those whose natural resources were exploited to help enrich the US). A big chunk goes toward Discretionary Spending. And an even bigger chunk goes to fuel the propaganda needed to convince Americans that they’re safer, stronger, more capable and always First Last and Always in their “leaders'” minds.
The problem: Most people don’t understand what’s going on. Not because they are stupid but because they are lazy and let distractions take up most of their time.
This problem is here for good. Thinking people must either stop thinking or live in frustration.
they are lazy and let distractions take up most of their time
Is this propaganda? Globally, 90% of people are struggling serfs or worse.
These actions are not limited to just immigrants or perceived enemies—they extend to anyone daring to challenge the status quo.
Not so long ago during covid – the anti vaccers and non mask wearers and the refusers of pcr testing/swab tests was considered an enemy of the state in every country.
Today migrants is tommorrow us.
Not migrants, invaders.
This only because they have tattoos and earrings? They have also feelings.
I’ve seen you in the mirror when the story began
And I fell in love with you I love your mortal sin
Your brains are locked away but I love your company
I only ever leave you when you got no money
I got no emotions for anybody else
You better understand I’m in love with myself,
Myself, my beautiful self
I’ve no feelings
A no feelings
A no feelings
For anybody else
I’m really amazed that you are the slightest surprised about all this. For the vast major9ty of the world, non US citizens, the USA has behaved in that way all over the world with impunity as an imperial coloniser.
How much genetic damage did the USA cause with Agent Orange? How much with two nuclear bombs?
The USA decided that Germany and Russia, two sovereign nation states, could not agree to build a gas pipeline across the Baltic, paid for by private corporations. They blew it up like terrorists. What Europe does is no business of the USA and if Poland says that the USA must blow up pipelines because they threw a strop, that’s no excuse.It’s entirely legitimate now for Russia to blow up the pipeline connecting Norway and Poland. They haven’t because they are adults and they respect the sovereignty of nations. Even if Poland doesn’t.
The USA destroyed the Sate of Libya for the crime of selling oil and gas in Euros and for proposing a pan-African single currency, thereby stopping trades occurring in dollars. It’s not a human right, apparently, to decide in which country a sovereign nation wishes to trade in. Only psychopaths in the USA have that right.
The list is absolutely endless.
Your nation has never believed in freedom and liberty for anyone but rich Americans, the Jewish donor class and corrupt dictators who let the US rich make money in their corrupt countries.
Touche!
> The list is absolutely endless.
> Your nation has never believed in freedom and liberty for anyone but rich Americans, the Jewish donor class and corrupt dictators who let the US rich make money in their corrupt countries.
Amen!
Unfortunately you are so right
Every “great” power tests armaments and weaponry on its own people – or on peoples it designates inferior. This applies to nukes and chemical weapons too. During development, the victims may be citizens, even in US. Bio weapons seem to be largely duds due to the amazing immune system. Hence the global effort to undermine immunity through poisonous food, medicine, environment, radiation, etc.
There are sovereign republics, kingdoms, etc. but no such thing as nation states; that is just US delirium.
My guess is that while you were going through elementary school, you had supposed friends who soon after became collective individuals that swore allegiance against you, and any success you might achieve.
It appears this has now morphed in the states w/a great big I don’t care attitude too.
There’s a word for why the process begun decades (if not centuries) ago is accelerating rapidly under Trump. That word is MAGA. The Whiteheads began their article by asking how much tyranny people will accept in the name of national security. The MAGAdytes will accept any tyranny their cult leader says is necessary to Make America Great Again.
That’s all that matters to them: propping up a dying empire a little longer – at any cost. That’s why when Mr. Peace Trump, once elected, morphs into Mr. War Monger Trump, his cult accepts the change without question. If Trump did it, then it must be the right thing to do.
And that’s what separates Trump from the presidents who came before him. The Democrats were never a cult. Nor were the Republicans until the MAGAdytes came along.
Democrats did the same with Obama. They went from opposing ‘war on terror’ operations to supporting drone strikes that killed innocent civilians. If Obama did it, it was perfectly acceptable. Not a peep in protest. Democrats also exhibit cult-like behavior in other ways, as we saw with covid.
At least some MAGAdytes oppose Trump on Israel/Gaza and booed him whenever he mentioned his ‘beautiful vaccine.’ But many others are cult-like in their support for him, that is true.
Concur. Extremely similar. Herd mindset combined with savior figure. Most people can’t resist the former, much less the combination with the latter. Just the other tribe’s turn now. Mostly.
I don’t see, in the U.S. or abroad, that either the reverence for Obama was quite as fevered or widespread as that for Trump, who has the attention of the entire world at all times it seems, for good or ill, nor that the dislike or disdain of the Right for Obama was anywhere close to the foaming-mouthed, black-eyed loathing that DT inspires in Left-wingers.
Feels much more volatile and precarious to me now.
Maybe that’s because once Obama got in office, he immediately took a hard right turn. Well, he actually did that during his campaign, when he dissed a room full of black men during his Father’s Day speech.
Maybe so, but things weren’t as hatefully divided then, social media wasn’t yet so dominant, cell phones not quite so ubiquitous, society not quite so tribal and narcissistic and shallow.
Things have changed profoundly since Obama was in office, I think, but I do think he was a big part of starting the snowball down the hill.
They hate him for his vaccine – period. They could care less about Israel/Gaza. Any who actually might have cared would have been those who were not part of the MAGA crowd but just voted for “the lesser of two evils.”
Same plot, different show
Democrats were never a cult? Oh please. As for MAGA, you can stereotype that group all you seem to need to, but why not ask yourself why people are so desperate that they’ll believe wholeheartedly that Trump, or any leader they are taught to worship (Obama?), will save them from a life of poverty and endless war? Why is that wish such a terrible thing? They certainly are NOT the first group to believe in their leaders, after all look at Democrats and all that bellowing about workers’ rights, living wages, healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt one – promises made over and over and over again and NEVER delivered. As for cult like behavior, look at some of these “protestors” out there, shrieking about fascist Trump, while knowing almost nothing about what real fascism really is? All that said, I fully agree it is ludicrous to think Trump will deliver for MAGA, but damn, I am done blaming ordinary people for hoping that someone will help them to simply live their lives.
And really, you’re doing one hell of a lot of assuming with your disparaging comments about MAGA – have you ever gone to a rally to see for yourself just what “those people” are really about? I have not but wanted to, to see for myself instead of sitting in smug judgement assuming I knew what that was all about. Or worse, believing every ugly stereotype of that group out of a media of known liars.
While so called liberals sit there in their smug arrogance and think they know so much better than those stupid MAGA people, that attitude helps NO ONE at this point in time. Stop the damned judgement and look a bit harder at the reasons voters do what they do. In the meantime, keep on voting for the Democratic party in hopes that the cult of what passes for a left will finally live up to all those broken promises. You can tell yourself that is completely different from your average cult like MAGA voter while you wait.
Democrats had – and still largely have – a stranglehold on many US cities. However, since they greatly outnumber MAGA Republicans, clearly they did not band together or else Kamala Harris would have been elected overwhelmingly. Many took a good hard look at the Biden/Harris Administration and said “Thanks, but No Thanks!” I guarantee you the MAGA voters will NEVER say that about their man Trump – even if he manages to run for a third term.
As for me personally, I voted for Jill Stein – the ONLY candidate on the ballot in Maryland who opposes the genocide in Gaza. She received 0.4% of the US vote. No matter how anyone tries to sugar coat it, Americans don’t give a rat’s behind about International Law.
And how are you so certain MAGA will NEVER turn on Trump? Do you really not hear the condescension in that statement? Contrary to lazy binary thinking, a trait instilled in the American electorate for generations I might add, no group is a monolith and there will always be at least one who bucks lame ass stereotypes. Always. Many MAGA right now are not at all happy about Trump’s warmongering with Iran in particular, as so many of them voted to stop the fucking wars. Of course, Trump lied about that, but for God’s sake at least he was talking about it. Obummer talked about that too, so there is that as well. Of course, we see how that turned out.
Democrats on the other hand cannot stand that the warmongering in Ukraine might end, “might” as we all know how that works by now. Personally, I keep waiting for all the “Putin puppet” shit to start up again, but maybe Democrats have finally figured out that tactic is a loser for them. Who knows, it could still happen and watch all those nice liberals fall in line with that garbage once again. Dems pay lots of lip service to Gaza as well, but did they ever make a move to stop that genocide when they were in office? Not hardly.
As for International Law, you’re correct that most Americans don’t give a rat’s ass about that, and that disdain is fully nonpartisan as we all should see by now. Just what International Law has America ever really abided by, under any administration, pray tell? Sit in judgement all you want of the VOTERS on the other side as that is who you are judging here, but at the end of the day there really isn’t nearly as much difference between those sides as so many need to believe. Funny, I thought most of us out here on this site were well aware of that.
Right. MAGA is not monolithic, and there are many that are openly criticizing Trump’s hypocrisy on censorship (re: Israel), on war (Yemen and sabre-rattling towards Iran), and his reversal on military spending (proposing to half the military budget and now increasing it to $1 Trillion).
So, Trump is not a fascist, not a tyrant and not a dictator; but he is beginning to look like run of the mill POTUS.
What Howard’s comment really seems to represent is the lack of heterodoxy in his media consumption.
Howard is pessed because the S&P 500 is down so far by 1/3 because of the national -37 trillion USD debt all liberals refuse to talk about..
Democrats dont like to work, dont like to bear responsibility, why Trump who usually say it as it is, like it or not, is an comfortable scapegoat for the Liberal sissies..
Trump:”The Corona virus is like the flue“.
Muahh, whining, howling, crying, Trump is Dictator, Trump is Dictator, Trump is Dictator.
No, Trump is not a Dictator – yet. Have you not noticed how okay it is with him to ignore Judges, Courts, Students, Professors, foreign leaders as well as anyone else who he disagrees with? Say what you will about Democrats, they actually were just a tad worried about the Courts – because it hasn’t yet become second nature with them to ignore Courts and Judges. Nor did they overtly attack the First Amendment – they sneaked around and did it covertly. They at least paid lip service to it.
Oh, and you’ll love this: my neighbor told me he knows a couple Democrats who actually work! And he wasn’t referring to the civil servants the Muskrat fired.
LOL…………..Democrats who work??? Like what? Parking Officers, Kindergarten Teacher. Senior Scientist Researcher in how to get rid of a bag of household garbage in the most expensive and clumsy way.

It seems that you misunderstood the whole thing again.
I already told you and the guys here about why Trump was fully on the legal side, and a corrupt lower Liberal Court not.

They said it wasn’t religion as much as language, someone proved the English language is the most destructive of all the languages, perhaps it was based on intent(s), verses achievement(s).
Most will buy the party line – that the measures won’t affect them, or their kith & kin – only those undesirables, over there..
Until of course they too become part of the flotsam / jetsam.
It is a true testiment when Guardian takes over this site..The Radical Left has no scruples..It simply wants unrestricted power.

Not sure admin agrees with your summary or exactly how it’s relevant here. Regardless, we can all afford to air a variety of opinions. It’s important, or we just create echo chambers! A2
Maybe Guardian is behind this site? Maybe they created this backstreet place so that thinking people can meet and let out steam and then go back to participating in the mad world?
Ah, it’s again time for the weekly (or twice-weekly?) dose of the Whiteheads and their growing TDS. I’m pretty sure they never complained about Biden’s deportations, which in 2023-4 exceeded the record set by Trump in his first term, say the BBC. No, Democrats never threaten poor illegals, citizen rights, fair elections, free speech or the US Constitution. Just ask all the Democrat judges who are blocking, in unprecedented and unconstitutional manner, the anti-immigration, anti-corruption, pro-America agenda Trump won a third election to implement (stolen elections really violate the Constitution, but never a whisper from the Whiteheads about that). On the brighter side, the Whiteheads do recognize Trump’s targeting of anyone criticizing Israel, which suggests possible awareness of the real threat facing the world: the fact that the US and its presidents since Kennedy at least have been a nation occupied and controlled by Zionists and their globalist vision.Trump is just more efficient and/or obedient than some of his predecessors, those who didn’t receive golden pagers as a gift.
Puberty blackheads are less annoying than this woke TDS rash 😄
Vocken repdem, labcon uniparty a-holes.
Just read yet another article spelling out Trump’s demands that Iran completely disarm itself or it will be militarily attacked by the US. But to be fair, Trump is merely following in Obama-Killery’s footsteps. They made the same demand of Libya. Foolishly, Libya complied – and was destroyed by NATO. Iran has said it will not negotiate with the US – period.
So what.
It’s just another member of the global PSYOP:
MAGAtards are apparently fine with the ZOG destroying the Constitution, which is the whole point of the article, really. Yes, the Zionists and their captured politicians (including Trump) want to void the Constitution.
So, by your logic, if we simply elected “libtards,” everything would be okay?
Army basic training is designed to weed out those who cannot or will not follow orders. For example, cleaning the head for the 4th time with a toothbrush or shining boots to a mirror finish, so useful if a grunt steps on a landmine and it blows his boots off along with his feet.
The police, who were always government enforcers but were at least seen to be reasonable with the majority of the law abiding public, have over the past couple of decades taken the ‘just following orders’ route to extremes in some cases.
Individual officers following orders, no matter how ridiculous, without recourse to common sense or discretion and the recruitment of those on an overt power trip within the rank and file, so that senior officers who are nothing but pen pushers and change agents can pass the orders along to be followed without question.
Therefore, it would seem that since public opinion is changing drastically within middle England and middle America that there is a plan to cause a backlash against the current policing system. When those who once respected the police no longer have confidence nor trust them due to personal experience, such as when they are victims of crime eg burglary, car theft, robbery etc. or by perception through stories in the media of heavy handed policing for example regarding ‘mean tweets’ – whether real or scripted theatrics – it signals a change is coming.
It would seem that this is a deliberate policy – a controlled demolition – by discrediting the face of human policing which opens the way for a new kind of policing, relying on machine learning (AI) and eventually Robocop style policing. It will likely be sold as removing favour, bias or prejudice and be designed to be fair at least in the early stages, which will encourage public acceptance of the new system as it is introduced slowly over time.
I assume yourself got a free ticket to any service except the Social Service.
Otherwise you would have found out that obeying an order immediately, is a survival condition when you are in an emergency situation.
“FIRE BRIGADE OUT”, when the Fire Inspector standing outside the building see that the roof will fall down in 5 minutes, or the air in the staircase is about to be full consumed.
Then hopefully there is no Liberal Smoke Divers and Liberal Fire Men inside the building taking up their Walkie Talkie yelling back:
“I HAVE ANOTHER OPINION AND THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY AND I HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE MY FREE SPEECH AND MY LIBERAL OPINION, AND NO MOTHERFOKKER IN UNIFORM SHOULD TELL ME WHAT TO DO IN MY LIFE.”
You chose the example of the Fire Brigade/Dept, a service that generally does it job without much complaint from the public.
You rarely hear of examples of the FB/FD showing up to a fire after the property has burnt to the ground – Maui being a possible exception – or accusations of ‘Fire Brigade brutality’ levelled at it !
As to “obeying an order immediately, is a survival condition when you are in an emergency situation” that didn’t work out too well for the soldiers, actually conscripts, ordered to go ‘over the top’ to certain death in the trenches during WWI. That is, if that piece of history was actually true – “lions led by donkeys”.
Its a universal basic principle. You can howl as much as you like.
What you are talking about is a small part of military specialist training.
You train special people to commit massacres, be snipers, assassinations, to torture, to things who are illegal.
I am pointing out this important difference.
Many people think they can just behave as I describe, “because we have free speech and democracy bs”, but we cannot.
I am sailing and boss on the boat. I have too many onboard who think they can have their own stupid opinion when we are into bad weather.
They are useless and jeopardize the whole ship.
“The Commies are coming, the Commies are coming!!”
So what do you do?

Never mind underfunded public schools, hospitals and the working poor.
Give it to the money hungry war machine.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-08/why-new-zealand-plans-to-nearly-double-its-defence-spending/105151326
As Edwin (Nearly) said-
“War, good God, NGH!!!, What is it good for!, making shedloads of money”
And a side of control.
So do NZ leaders also fund the Israeli war machine and genocides against various goyim? If no, then they are less fucked in the head than Zionist servants like leaders like Starmer and Trump.
They are guilty by their silence and their association with the murderers.
I think the NZ leaders might be even more fucked in the head than the rest.
A German district court has sentenced David Bendels, editor-in-chief of the conservative publication Deutschland-Kurier, to a suspended seven-month prison term for defaming Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser through a satirical meme.
The controversial meme, posted on Deutschland-Kurier’s X account in February 2024, showed Faeser holding a sign altered to read: “I hate freedom of expression.” The original photo featured the phrase “We Remember,” part of a Holocaust remembrance campaign. Faeser’s legal team filed a criminal complaint
Constitution or Constipation?
As a general rule we should never be personal in public. It should always be neutral about the case only.
In the ol’ days we did this by correct gramma titling people Sir, Madame, His Excellency, You in personal pronoun major.
In the said case you could say Mr. Bendel is assuming the usual position as a spoiled child in a Kindergarten shaming his Kindergarten Teacher to draw the line. Line drawn!
Only in cases where we are handling a sick mental person, a psycho or hard core criminal we are allowed to go public to warn people about life is jeopardized.
But as the sheeple are too stupid to do that, we have rules so only adults or professionals should do and handle these cases.
John and Nisha— Put the joint down. It is making you paranoid.
Hoomins: Perfectible or Pliable ? That Is The question !
Pol Pot (idealist) firmly believed hoomins were perfectible.
he piled up bodies looking to prove his ideal…
Eugenicists, they believe “perfectible”; they’re gonna pile
up bodies to improve on God’s creation – aka hoomins…
PS: hoomins are Definitely Pliable…
Meanwhile: President Trump is gonna bomb Iran back to The
Stone Ago – to show The World he’s A Real Man !
No, it’s to show he’s a devout defender of the chosen tribe and its mission to build greater Israel. Stop press: Trump just said in front of Netanyahu he’s going to negotiate directly with the Iranians, to avoid war. What’s this subordination, Donald? Have you really forgotten Bibi’s friendly gift of a golden pager?
Who financed Pol Pot?
The CIA?
Hey John and Nisha: Who was in charge during the Biden administration? If you’re gonna go after “tyrants” without mentioning nameless bureaucrats I think you are missing something.
They got US-AIDs in the past, so life just became hard.
Isn’t it strange how no mention of the Covidiocy out of all these pundits screaming about the Constitutionality of censorship, arbitrary detentions/deportations and the like? Never mind how that helped set the stage for a lot of this. Never mind how they will not discuss or even acknowledge that in these discussions. Never mind how government funds, ala USAID or other such agencies, facilitated bringing in millions of people to a country that is barely able to take care of its own, ensuring distraction from all that talk of Constitutional rights, not to mention facilitating what may be an extreme and barely legal reaction in many cases. And no mention at all of how many people lost jobs for not complying with mandates, lockdowns, enforced silence in the face of blatant lies and censorship. Why, you’d almost think that set up was all part of the plan, wouldn’t ya? Destabilizing countries has been the specialty of many governments for eons, the US has particularly excelled at that, but instead of that let us focus on the methods and not the agenda.
Every time I see one of these “protests” regarding Trump and his behavior all I see is blatant hypocrisy out of the same people who masked up zealously and shrieked at others who saw through that moronic behavior and refused to join in. All those masked idiots out there, all most likely boosted up multiple times out of fear of some virus, thinking they are really bucking the man, good God. Many of those are the same tyrants who pushed mandates and experimental shots out of an industry full of serial felons, now out there bleating on about the felonious behavior of Trump. You almost can’t make this shit up, but in a country as dumbed down as this one, there’s really no need to make it up as it is happening here in real time.
Indeed, we have entered the initial stage of an actual state of Idiocracy now, and no exaggeration to say it. A lot of people are genuinely stupid or damaged.
I see autistic kids everywhere now. I’m imagining what things will look like in 20 years with 1:25 children being autistic (already more than that in California), and half the adult population being drug addicted, whether to dopamine, cannabis or fentanyl. 😧
We’ve arrived at a crossroads, clearly. Will hope the gravity and clarity of it inspires a profound turn to the better.
“I see autistic kids everywhere now”
I’m seeing normalized sociopath kids everywhere now.
(There’s your comment.)
A witches brew, that combo.
Thanks DM.
My post of :38 PM went into pending; can someone explain to me why?
If posts contain any url links, and maybe images, too, those can delay their publishing.
Has neither.
I put your line ‘I see autistic kids everywhere now’ in quotes and added a simple, seven word response containing nothing insulting, outrageous or profane.
I don’t get it, but it’s been happening a lot lately, innocuous posts going into pending, sometimes, never to be seen again.
I had one pending for awhile yesterday, in this thread, but it had a bunch of urls, so maybe some filtering algorithm’s gone temporarily rogue.
What say you @admin ?
witches’ (grammar counts)
Word.
Such bureaucrats are surely Zionists and their servants. But the Whiteheads will have to dump their TDS to ever see that.
They’re having an anniversary in San Francisco:

Thanks for that.
Lightweight works for those who can’t handle being preached to.
Softly, softly, catchee monkey.
Good. More power to them. Let them go even harder. I would dispute, though, that they are disregarding the Constitution. Look instead to these self-interested “Judges” who make a mockery of the Law with their arguably seditious actions. They assume power they don’t have. There’s a little thing called “lawfare,” and that’s the game they’re playing.
The problem of tens of millions of illegal invaders is compounded by the fact that there are laws already on the book that should, if they had been enforced, would render this issue moot, and would make this place less attractive to all and sundry of those who think they have some “right” to come here. They don’t. On a human level I can understand wanting to come here, but if the first thing you do is to knowingly and intentionally break the laws of the place, you immediately mark yourself as of low character; or, as someone put it recently, as a person “who has no affinity for the place, and likely an active antipathy for it.”
The voting populace voted to have these people removed, whatever that takes. To reiterate: if the immigration laws of the country had been followed over the last few decades, the current issues around immigration would scarcely exist. Sadly, our Government, under the management of both parties, has largely sold us out in favor of moneyed interests and The Globalists (redundancy?). Now, it’s becoming an existential issue, probably with a tragic ending. Europe is even worse off, but its ownership class is even more depraved and suicidal than ours in the States. They don’t even both to try to hide their contempt.
Yes, yes, anti=immigration is fine. But everyone knows that they will fail. They always fail. There will be ICE raids a-plenty and it will not affect the actual numbers at all, and then a new regime comes in and halts the raids and more immigrants come in. The only hope is that countries like the US and Europe become so immiserated that the Third World looks better by comparison.
There’s another hope. The money spigot gets turned off, and they return home.
There are other hopes beyond that, but they get increasingly grim.
Taking that further, the spigot never gets turned on again or in the first place. No benefits for new immigrants that are entirely and forever unavailable to native born citizens (super commonplace in the U.S.). Illogical and immoral, both.
Open borders, closed treasury. The latter takes care of the former. Regulates it, in any case. Or so goes one of the fundamental libertarian tenets, which has never been tried that I’m aware of.
Perhaps time it was finally tested out.
Did you hear me? They will never do that. They never do.
I was responding to Pilgrim’s comment, not your own, but no, “they” will never do that, you’re right.
Those who see all of these realities of the system we live under and know that none of it can be changed within that system itself, that it’s fundamentally immoral, illogical and hyper-harmful across multiple categories, will have to depart it and form something else, and then do that.
Meanwhile, a tyranny of mass murder and a mute media is happening now:
https://dissidentvoice.org/2025/04/mainstream-undercounting-0-6-million-gaza-deaths/
Not just MSM. Try broaching the subject with any “true Christian”.
You’ve seen the actors, now read the book:

If Trump is a fascist, a tyrant, then so was every POTUS in the last 50 years…
Ditto most leaders in most countries.
Scum floats.
Disobedient leaders may actually “float”: go missing at the beach. Isn’t that that what happened to an Aus leader?
Servants. For the really sick, controlling tyrants, look to the Global Zionist mafia.
authoritarian “REshaping”? America should be free “AGAIN”? when exactly was this halcyon epoch of American freedom? when Emma Goldman, notwithstanding her US citizenship, was kicked out of her own country? when the “stop and frisk” program harassed thousands upon thousands of youths in poor New York City neighborhoods? twenty years ago I personally was regularly stopped at checkpoints the NYPD would arbitrarily set up at a moment’s notice on local streets I drove along to get to work
that has pretty much been the shape of American society since I’ve been alive
minus the sanctimonious hand-wringing about the fiendishness of our current reis, this article is terrific, presenting abundant documentation of how ICE and DHS are running amok
at least there’s a brief nod to the awfulness of Biden too in this regard, though I don’t think anyone yet has dethroned Obama as Deporter in Chief
the focus though is misdirected when critics talk about the administration of this or that head of state, while the machinery underneath carries on according to its own deep programming, and while the real programmers are excluded from view
Concur. The “Again” has to go, and ‘great’ isn’t important, anyway. I’d rather have good, and have the “machinery underneath” be pretty much the sole focus of thinking people’s political attentions.
The ownership class is the emanation of the darkness. Most of what gets talked about is well out on the periphery of that.
An ol’ copy paste article from the Whiteheads?
If money doesn’t talk, it employs the loudest voices. It pays the wages of all government departments, the non-government departments and the criminal departments. Until the creation of money is taken from centralised private hands there’s no chance of constitutional control whatsoever. I suppose private local, decentralised hands with complete transparency is ok and would make government tyranny very difficult.
Discussion afoot in Russia about nationalising the Central Bank. This kind of make sense when viewed in through the lens of current war mongering and Russiaphobia. …..
“a hostile policy towards it’s country” that sums up the attitude of central banks everywhere. I just wish more people were aware of what blatant thieving is carried out by the international banking cartel and how they control the world. As creators of the means of exchange: how could they not be.
And privately lead by China I would add, so paddling too hard against the boss is not going to end too well in public, ergo some people might turn up missing in the future. Plan accordingly.
According to some sources, when Hitler replaced usury and internationalist banksters with a national banking system and currency based on the value of German labour, the parasitic global elite conspired to destroy him.
You also hear they sponsored that whole thing! You end up not knowing what to believe! A2
A superb move No2. Who is No1? It’s a lot easier to believe nothing.
He was set up to be destroyed. I’ve seen so much contradictory information on the monetary policies but Schacht who was in charge at some point was certainly part of the monopolist crew. Having the archetypal mega villain as the opponent of usury is a classic misdirection by the masters of deceit. They know what they’re doing.
Except no one is listening!
Sinclair Lewis said “When fascism
comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.” That cross appears to be Christian Zionism a theology embraced by the corrupt political duopoly. Not to mention, American exceptionalism expressed in bloodthirsty imperialist wars.
And Huey Long said: “When fascism comes to America it will be called anti-fascism.”
Trump hasn’t done anything so fascist as the Democrats did during Covid.
You are correct. Nor has Trump done anything so fascist as the “Left” did to him.
That’s right – “Lawfare.”
People still “on the left” that supported Lockdowns, “vaccines” etc, that are now criticizing Trump HAVE NO CREDIBILITY. They enthusiastically supported a systemic attack on their fellow citizens – that cannot be forgiven (at least as long as they ignore the magnitude of their crimes.).
That doesn’t mean Trump doesn’t deserve criticism (he’s a free speech and anti-war hypocrite for a start).
Trump is Mr. Warpspeed. 😆
And Biden made a campaign promise that there would not be vaccine mandates under his administration.
Proving that the corrupt political duopoly are two sides of the same coin. 🤑
Well, in my original post I was talking about “people on the left” (quoting myself), not just Liberal elites or the Democratic Party (which when I considered my self a leftist I considered right wing, not that that matters anymore). Regular people – on the left – bought the Covid propaganda hook-line-and-sinker en masse. This is how fascism works in a population: an unshakable belief in the righteousness of the state and the demonization of those that dissent, or don’t follow along w/o question.
Yes, the duopoly is corrupt. But what we now know is that the decision to force the Covid con “countermeasures” came from above the POTUS, the National Security Council. The “vaccines” were a military project, an attack by the US military on the US population.
I agree, it was a military operation based on Rockefeller’s 2010 Lockstep Agenda.
To sum up, it is all those people who became for all intents and purposes fascists during Covid who are now populating this new “Hands Off” Astroturf movement organized by Democrat-aligned operatives. These people are still unable to think for themselves.
Go back and look at the Huey Long quote again…
There’s some anti-genocide protests that you won’t see. Also there’s others who are concerned about social safety nets. Actually, if Trump had kept his campaign promises they wouldn’t be protesting. He didn’t campaign on: accelerating wars; increasing the Pentagon’s budget; heightening prices for the middle-class; using a billionaire private contractor to say Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme while he stuffs his pockets with federal subsidies; spending $6 million imprisoning migrants in a Salvadoran jail and then saying if there’s a mistake he can’t remove them from that prison; deporting students who have opposing political ideologies, etc… I can on, but you get the point.
Hands Off The Science!
Interesting anecdote.
https://amgreatness.com/2025/04/07/john-rich-says-he-had-to-explain-to-trump-in-2022-why-his-supporters-were-booing-him-every-time-he-mentioned-the-covid-jabs/
Too many in this forum appear obsessed by everything that happened during the Covid thing that they fail to notice anything else. Here’s a newsflash: the world did not stop turning in 2021.
I see what you are saying. Unfortunately, I think that you will find that out there in the real world, no-one is obsessed with everything that happened during the Covid thing.
People do notice. They simply don’t care to be lectured to by the people who acted even more viciously, violently and obnoxiously during the Convid scam. Those folx do not not hold the moral high ground, and the rest of us don’t want to hear from them.
Most of the MAGA people I know, while appreciating some of what Trump has been doing, have some serious concerns about some of the directions he’s been taking, though they still find Trump better than the alternative.
Indeed. A lot of the people who voted Trump were really voting against the Democrats, who as Glenn Greenwald said need to go the way of the Whigs!
Are you suggesting that the Whiteheads gave their full support to the Covid thing? Because I don’t remember that.
Or are you saying that their omission (if any) was tantamount to full on support?
Their concern with government overreach has been their driving force, regardless where it occurs.
I’m suggesting that many, if not most, of the people who are most emotionally upset about Trump, are the same people who went full force in favor of all sorts of Convid tyranny, and as such, their judgement is suspect, and their moral sensibilities in question.
Alternate version:
“When Fascism Comes to America, It Will Come Under the Guise of Anti-fascism.”
― Huey Long
Extreme political ideology on the Left and the right often leads to totalitarianism. However, it’s interesting how liberals and the right-wing are embracing techno/fascism.
It’s called the “Uniparty.”
Eventually, people will figure out that the battle is not between left/right, but between Globalists/Nationalists.
Or, just being anti-gangsterism. 😁
I was going for a swim yesterday. We were away for a few days and decided that it would be nice to relax at a pool and maybe have a sauna.
Arrived at the modern-looking facility and thought This looks great. Went to the reception desk with cash in hand.
Hello, sir said the lady behind the desk.
Can I have a swim and sauna, please?
Of course, sir, can you give me your name, date of birth, phone number, email and your home address and post code, and do you have a credit card?
Stick your swimming pool right up your arse dear.
We the people, had a type of freedom, and then the lawyers got to work, and presto, back to reality.
Hang every lawyer and their corrupt system bites the dust.
Lost in the noise is that the DoJ attorney tasked for advocating for the government in the Kilmar Garcia case (the Guatemalan who was illegally detained and rendered to a prison in El Savador) was suspended by the DoJ for “not zealously advocating” the case. The lawyer had an unenviable task — like all government employees had taken an oath to respect and defend the Constitution so naturally faced with the facts of the case was less than 100% behind the administration’s position. So, obviously, “an example had to be made”.
They’re a bunch of Fascists, you know. Its one of those “walks like a duck, quacks like a duck….” things. Obviously we’re not going full on concentration camps — yet — but these happened incrementally as successive positions became untenable. This incident includes “night and fog”, rendering to a concentration camp without any semblance of due process and a healthy dose of “you will accept our reality — or else”. That, plus chronic economic troubles (deficits, balance of trade, etc.) puts us about 1934 or so.
“It’s no joke: America is becoming a Constitution-free zone. Little by little, our rights are being whittled down in the name of national security.”
“Yet despite the propaganda coming from the White House, the looming problem is not so much that the U.S. is being invaded by hostile forces at the border, …”
The article as expected lies by liberal omission in ignoring the impact of open borders on a country. Whitehead is delusional if he thinks his pale imitation of a call to Protect the Constitution can afford to ignore that.
But maybe he has a sideline in defending asylum seekers? Or wants to remain in good standing with fellow lawyers?
“Are being whittled….”? where were the Whiteheads (and Usher?) from 2020-to date during the Scamdemic and Trump’s Warp Speed? Because I do not recall anything but silence from them on: lockdowns, social distancing, abolition of informed consent when job loss followed on jab refusal, murder protocols using ventilation and sedation in US hospitals
I wonder how many jabs the Whiteheads have had?
I posted quite a bit, including on OffG, at the time. I wasn’t terribly popular because unlike many our part of the US wasn’t affected significantly by lockdowns and over overreactive “do something” regulations. Because of this I got all sorts of abuse, up to and including being identified as a member of some British Army psyops unit.
The pandemic was just an infectious disease outbreak. It got messed up because it became politicized. If you recall the sequence of events — at least here in the US — a handful of us became aware of something in mid to late February. I thought they were overdoing it a bit but by early March we were taking precautions, at least during the midterms (I was working a polling place in early March). The “pandemic for real” hit about two weeks later with people being trapped on cruise ships and so on. It got politicized in the process which messed everyone up — it was a hoax, a Chinese bioweapon, a gain-of-function lab experiment that went wrong and so on followed by the various cures. Normal stuff, non of it referring to the actual scientific literature (the Chinese were doing some good science and started to get a real handle on where/what/how but because they were Chinese it had to be a hoax, incompetence, political whatever — you remember.) Vaccines were produced, including the ‘not very effective’ standard types made from inactive viruses and the revolutionary mRNA types. The mRNA were initially tricky to produce because the vaccine couldn’t be used directly without causing the Mother of All Allergic Reactions but it was produced, was widely distributed (at least in the US) and effective…….but with one small snag that hasn’t been fully explained. It appeared to have cause heart problems in some people as a side effect but the literature has been quiet on this.
FWIF on the vaccine front. I have a sister who lives in Argentina. They didn’t have access to mRNA but did have access to “Sputnik”, the Russian vaccine. This actually appeared to be quite effective.
As for Covid being a scam, I wish. Its really just another Coronavirus but one we didn’t have any immunity to. It had fatality rate of about six times that of generic influenza according to one rough ‘back on an envelope’ calculation. Whether that’s worth closing down the world for is debatable now but at the time, when this first happened, nobody had any real idea what to expect. Now Covid is with us but its ‘just another inconvenience’.
BTW — Yes, I know people got got sick and even a couple that died. I don’t think I’d be successful convincing them that this was just a giant hoax.
Where do the Rutherfords draw it, and how do they, in what way(s), specifically?
A vague admonition, slogan, a Barnum statement.
Barnum statement.
How? Barnum statement. Meaningless.
Whitehead isn’t wrong in his assessment, but a Constitutional lawyer (I think🤔), the absence of any specific suggestions about how to go about this repeating vague exhortation, ever, is exceedingly odd at this point.
Film coming out by Drew Treglia with Lee Gaulman (‘Legalman’, American lawyer) about Barnum statements, their (ubiquitous) propagandistic use and purpose – Barnum World:
They also put out Larken Rose’s story, ‘Jones Plantation.
I have referenced Gaulman here before, and he has laid out clearly the concrete remedy and the essential point of jury nullification that those living in Western countries with jury trials could employ to negate the effect and importance of corrupt, obsolete or stupid laws, and just generally describes about as well as it could possibly be described the irrational nature of the system we live under, and the futility of the level at which most people tend to engage with it, even in criticism or disapproval of it. Draws from and analyzes the writings of 19th Century legal theorist, Lysander Spooner.
https://the-quash.captivate.fm/search
Gaulman is a legal expert and logical Titan of the voluntarist libertarian world, which is as libertarian as it gets, and, in my estimation the most moral and logically consistent path that thinking people without the herd inclination to force their will upon others might finally tread.
We know collectivism, of whatever shade, is neither moral, nor able to be controlled or contained. Worth considering, if you’ve never.
“ Where do you draw the line? How much tyranny will Americans tolerate in the name of national security? At what point does this slippery slope of power grabs lead to dictatorship?”
US citizens will be cooked before they jump.
