Do you know why the government and so many outriders from the Left and the Right are riding to the aid of government surveillance in the Ed Snowden/NSA disclosure scandal? It’s very simple: Attention must be deflected from this traffic accident. If this car wreck gets peeled back, as it should with the Jaws of […]

Why the Caged Bird Sings
I’ve long wondered how it is that the vast bulk of the population stays complacent to the egregious violations of freedom and liberty we observe the government taking from us, on a regular basis, without asking. The complacent acceptance and/or approval by most of IRS violations, Benghazi and the NSA/Snowden surveillance debacle, coming all at […]
America seems rudderless. On most every issue, one could name, we continue to wander around in slow-moving circles. None of the financial frauds and scams were/are prosecuted. None of the Washington scandals are truly investigated and disclosed, they just slowly disappear from public view until no one is paying attention. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, […]
The latest hubub over the nature and scope of phone call “metadata” collection and archiving by the National Security Agency (NSA) is gratifying in the fact that the general population is starting to awake to this issue. However, while important, is but a small slice of the whole pie that must be exposed and dealt […]
The single most damning thing about our wars of opportunity and empire is the damage done to our young, active-duty military and veterans when they come home and attempt to re-integrate into American society. Instead of helping them with their injuries and nightmares we just expand the problem by throwing them in jail. Recently, I […]
Colorado Democrats are high-fiving and back-slapping each other over the passage of the “Foul Five” gun bills in Colorado. They fail to realize the enormity of the mistake they’ve made. They believe that a right can be slowly legislated out of existence. Not understanding, in any truly meaningful way, what constitutes a ‘right’ is the […]
The “Conventional Wisdom” Trap
Events now race ahead at an ever-quickening pace toward the fiscal and financial Armageddon just down the road. Meanwhile politicians, pundits and plutocrats move to denial faster than the Coyote runs off the cliff chasing the Roadrunner. Our ‘leaders’ play games in Washington, D.C. Soon, all will have to look down at some point. That […]
Utah’s HB-148 was introduced, passed and signed by Governor Gary Herbert in March of 2012. Though for the most part flying well below the radar in media and general interest, the “Public Lands Disposal” Movement set off by HB-148 is growing faster than a prairie wildfire. This is not your Granddaddy’s “Sagebrush Rebellion;” not by […]
Now What, Genius?
Current unemployment numbers are showing a false decline or, at least, short-lived. A break down of the current state of the government and US ledger as a whole shows the national family budget is in deep Kim-chi. When the central bank and government inject trillions of dollars in fake money into the economy to keep […]
The State of Denial
America is always on a collision course with Destiny. Since 1750, it has been in a constant state of remaking the future to be both a reflection of the past and a view through the prism of the present. However, beginning about 4 decades ago, America entered the ‘Endless Hall of Mirrors.’ In 2012, America […]
