by Jon Rappoport. I could trace my 30 years of investigative reporting as one long project emanating from what people are supposed to think. What
they’re supposed to think about nuclear weapons, pesticides, medical

John Stossel: Escaping Tyranny
The joy of thinking for yourself. North Korea is called the "worst place on earth" for good reason. Thousands of people are tortured. Some North Koreans eat rodents to try to survive, and many starve anyway. In winter, they freeze. No one but the dictator has any true freedom, and no one is allowed to leave. One person who understands that is ... MORE

Brendan O'Neill: Contempt For Free Speech - Why Are Students Cheering About The Massacre At Charlie Hebdo?
The sad decline of American principles. I witnessed something genuinely
disturbing at Trinity College Dublin last night: trendy, middle-class,
liberal students cheering and whooping a man who had just given the
closest thing I have yet heard to a justification for the massacre at Charlie Hebdo. It was as part of a debate on the right
to offend. I was ... MORE
Yes, The Second Amendment Protects Individual Rights
by Damon Root. What the New Yorker gets wrong about guns and the Constitution. In 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court recognized
what numerous historians and legal scholars have been saying for many

John Tierney: The Reign of Recycling
Recycling 40K plastic bottles offsets 1 flight. If you live in the United States, you probably do some form of recycling. It’s likely that you separate paper from plastic and glass and metal.

Government bans make drugs more dangerous. Remember the guy who bought 80-proof vodka that turned out to be
190-proof Everclear and died from alcohol poisoning? Probably not,

where merchants or manufacturers who made such a substitution, whether ... MORE

Glenn Greenwald: CNN And The NYT Are Deliberately Obscuring Who Perpetrated The Afghan Hospital Attack
George W. Bush would have no such luck. Much of the world spent the last 48 hours expressing revulsion at the

early on that the perpetrator of the attack was the U.S., and many
media outlets and other organizations around the world have been stating
this without ... MORE
