Enemy of the State
Are you an enemy of the State? You should be...because the State is your enemy. It is not your nanny, your friend or your partner. The State is not an organization of, by, or for the people. It is a criminal conspiracy founded on violence for the purpose of plunder. Once you understand this making sense of what the State does is so much easier. The fact that DOGE cuts are ignored and the deficit grows, that no state actor ever goes to jail no matter how heinous the crime, that policies so obviously detrimental are embraced, it will all ma...

Poisoning Our Bodies and Minds
Our food and drinks are laden with substances approved by the government and we have no idea what they are doing to our health. The FDA has failed miderably to protect us from the chemicals and other harmful substances in our food. Even worse we are subsidizing the poisoning of the population. It is time to take back responsibility for our own health and remove it from a corrupt government agency.

Your right to move freely as facilitated by the personal automobile is under attack without a vote, just simple bureaucratic fiat.
