One of the most basic threats to liberty, which is often overlooked, is that the defense of individual liberty as an ideal is seldom heard in political debate. The ideal of liberty is often overshadowed by quotidian political concerns that follow the latest outrage. In public debates on policies designed to advance social justice goals, the disputants generally argue about the effectiveness of the policies without questioning the underlying ideological premise or its implications for liberty.

With the benefit of hindsight, we're all geniuses. The Wall Street Journal article, Inside Ukraine's Daring Operation Spiderweb Attack on Russia (published December 8, 2025) details the operation's planning as a 18-month effort starting in late 2023, with significant activities ramping up in 2024. While the piece emphasizes the full timeline's secrecy and oversight by President Zelenskyy and SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk, it highlights 2024 as a pivotal year for infiltration, testing, and logistics preparation.

We now live in a nation where constitutional rights exist in theory, not in practice.

Yet what good are rights on paper when every branch of government is allowed to ignore, circumvent, chip away at or hollow them out in practice?

Two hundred and thirty-four years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, the safeguards meant to shield "We the people" from government abuse are barely recognizable.

During the 1990s and up to the year 2001 I had visited the United States more than a dozen times. I had touched down and traveled through 22 of its 50 states. About half of that traveling was part of my job, the other half was vacationing and visiting friends.

After the 9/11 attacks the U.S. shut down. Coming in by air plane required to take part in some ridiculous security theater.

Starmer desperately needs the trial of six peace activists who targeted Israeli arms firm Elbit to go his way, and bolster his government's claim that Palestine Action is a terrorist organisation

The current trial in London of six peace activists is proving just how determined the British state is to hollow out the public's civil, political and legal rights to justify its continuing support for Israel's slaughter of Gaza's children.

Among many other articles, this article in Mother Jones illustrates how the American left-wing in its mendacity to get someone invariably misses the point.

The article begins reasonably. It acknowledges that Texas and New York City have paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to more than 1000 wrongfully convicted people. I myself for many years have documented the story of wrongful conviction.

No wonder the world seems deranged-it is deranged by the immense strength of an Old Guard clinging onto power by any means available even as the world around them spins into incoherence.

There are many reasons why we fail, but perhaps the most critical one is continuing to do more of what has failed. This has many potential sources, from the psychological (self-sabotage, etc.) to the ideological (the market is the solution to every problem, etc.) to cognitive biases (recency bias, etc.).

I don't want China to be the world's most dominant economic superpower. I am an American, and so I want the United States to be the world's most dominant economic superpower. Unfortunately, the facts that I am about to share with you in this article cannot be denied. We consume far more than we produce, and we go into colossal amounts of debt in order to make that possible.
