Homeland Security’s Multibillion-Dollar Comedy Show

Posted on by

“What does the United States have to show for tens of billions of dollars of Homeland Security antiterrorism spending by local and state governments? Michael Sheehan, former New York City deputy commissioner for counterterrorism, observed, ‘I firmly believe that those huge budget increases have not significantly contributed to our post–9/11 security.’ But the war on terrorism has been an unmitigated victory for Leviathan and politicians at every level of government.”

Posted on by

John Whitehead: Round Ups, Checkpoints and National ID Cards

Posted on by

“The problem with allowing government agents to demand identification from anyone they suspect might be an illegal immigrant—the current scheme being employed by the Trump administration to ferret out and cleanse the country of illegal immigrants—is that it lays the groundwork for a society in which you are required to identify yourself to any government worker who demands it.”
