Robert Evans: A Cautionary Tale Of Socialism
My wealthy country became a dystopia overnight. We like apocalypse fantasies because a part of us thinks it would be kind of fun. No bills to pay, no job to drag yourself to -- life goes back to basics. You don't watch The Hunger Games and really think about what it would be like to have a toothache or yeast infection you can't treat. And you ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: Apple Is On Your Side
Somebody has to protect individual liberty. Obama’s order for Apple to let him hack your iPhone is not about
fighting terror—it’s about iPhone dominion. This is the equivalent of
gun control except in the tech sector. Terrorism is one of the top two
issues concerning Americans, including Millennials. You deserve to know
why and how Obama’s ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Hillary Clinton's False Hopes
The indictment of the nominee. Surely, Hillary Clinton hopes for the happy conclusion to the maddening string of primaries and caucuses that have exhausted her.

More Defense Dollars Don't Guarantee A Better Military
by Daniel L. Davis. Everyone agrees that federal spending is out of control, yet there’s little appetite to go after bloated Pentagon budgets. Americans from the left, right, and center all too often give the military a pass because they grudgingly believe current levels of defense spending are necessary for national security. But is there such a thing as ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: Apple's Involuntary Servitude

After the San Bernardino massacre on Dec. 2, 2015, the FBI lawfully acquired the cellphone of one of the killers and ... MORE

by Joshua Kopstein. “The most important tech case in a decade.” Earlier this week, the U.S. government dropped a bombshell in its ongoing crusade against strong encryption: A court order demanding that Apple help the Federal Bureau of Investigation bypass the security features of an iPhone recovered from Syed Rizwan Farook, who, along with his ...

The Apple-FBI Fight Isn’t About Privacy Vs. Security
by Brian Barrett. Do not be misled. Throughout the ongoing fight between Apple and the FBI over custom access to an iPhone used by one of the two terrorists who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, the government has framed the argument as a simple trade-off: You must surrender a little privacy if you want more security. The scales don't balance quite ... MORE
The Age Of Authoritarianism -- Government Of The Politicians, By The Military, For The Corporations
by John W. Whitehead. America is at a crossroads. History may show that from this point forward, we will have left behind any semblance of constitutional government and entered into a militaristic state where all citizens are suspects and security trumps freedom. Certainly, this is a time when government officials operate off their own inscrutable, ... MORE

CN2 that Apple shouldn’t be compelled to hack the encrypted iPhone of

John McAfee: I'll Decrypt San Bernardino iPhone For Free So That Apple Won't Need To Give Gov't Back Door Access
But gov't wants the keys to ALL phones. Using an obscure law, written in 1789 — the All Writs Act — the US
government has ordered Apple to place a back door into its iOS software
so the FBI can decrypt information on an iPhone used by one of the San
Bernardino shooters. It has finally come to this. After years of arguments by virtually ... MORE

by Awr Hawkins. Comic Jackie Mason says that if Michael Bloomberg is serious about gun control, he should disarm the 12 bodyguards who hedge in his every move.
