Law

Law articles offer sharp analysis and commentary on legal issues tied to censorship, policy, technology, media, economics, public health, social life, and individual rights — critiquing overreach, institutional failures, and threats to liberty.

We examine key topics like government lawfare, weaponized regulations, constitutional challenges, public health mandates, vaccine liability, institutional corruption, free speech defenses, and reforms to restore justice, accountability, and personal freedoms.

The US sold its citizens’ right to jury trials to the country’s largest lobbying force, and Americans now bear the costs after Pharma cashed record profits. The PREP Act, a 2005 statute invoked by HHS Secretary Alex Azar at the onset of the pandemic, guarantees immunity “with respect to all claims caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the administration to or the use by an individual of a covered countermeasure,” including mRNA vaccines.

The Administrative State is Destroying our Country

Because agencies are run by unelected, government bureaucrats who are beholden to nobody but the person who appointed them. They don’t care what the voters think or want or don’t want. They don’t need to care. They don’t need your vote to stay in power. They only have to appease the politician(s) who appointed them. If they just follow the yellow brick road, they will land on the other side of the rainbow.

Governments Must Reject New Amendments to International Health Regulations

If Article 4 becomes law, the French government will have openly declared itself as totalitarian. The effects will ripple across Europe. For centuries, even long before the European Union, the fate of Europe has often been like a chain of dominoes, with France or Germany usually the first one tipped over. Can France – and Europe – be saved?
