January 23 has not yet arrived—but the narrative is already being written. If organizers and media continue to rely on implication rather than disclosure, they should not be surprised when workers, contractors, and the public start asking whether this “walkout” is less about labor—and more about manufacturing consent through ambiguity.

The First Amendment protects speech from government censorship. It does not require audiences to applaud, platforms to amplify, or critics to remain silent. Withdrawal of attention is not censorship; it is judgment.

Venezuela’s oil crisis is not the result of a single policy failure or sanctions alone. It is the outcome of geology, economics, and governance colliding. Venezuela possesses enormous oil resources, but they are overwhelmingly extra-heavy, capital-intensive, and unforgiving of mismanagement. When the country nationalized its oil sector and expelled international oil companies (IOCs), it removed the only actors capable of operating such assets sustainably.

Venezuela’s oil is vast in volume but poor in quality, ruinously expensive to rehabilitate, and politically radioactive to invest in. The idea that the United States—or any rational actor—would pursue regime change purely for this oil ignores geology, engineering, finance, and history.

Starbucks Workers United is not the blueprint for revitalizing organized labor; it’s a cautionary tale.

Trump’s MAGA vision brings prosperity, but unlike FDR or LBJ, it is not designed to empower the federal government. Instead, it allows the government to: Step back from welfare micromanagement Decentralize control to states and communities Close down abusive and ideological institutions Freeze the expansion of entitlements to new dependents

The cost is credibility—and the public knows it. Pride is now seen by many as just another performative, politicized ritual, much like Black Lives Matter devolved into, or Antifa before it. Movements that began with moral clarity, but lost themselves in radicalism and spectacle.

The term “Patriotic Millionaires,” as used by Erica Payne and the group she founded, is indeed more symbolic than literal in many cases. It evokes a time when being a millionaire implied exceptional wealth and status — a standout identity rather than a common one. Today, especially in high-cost areas, being a millionaire (on paper) is relatively common due to inflated housing values and retirement accounts. But the term still carries psychological weight and cultural clout.

This form of insurgency does not require bombs or bullets—it operates by colonizing the public imagination, reframing virtue as rebellion and civic institutions as oppressors. Adbusters’ influence on the rise of movements like Occupy Wall Street, Antifa, and various anti-globalization fronts underscores its effectiveness as a soft-power agitator.

If you care about justice, great. But don’t be fooled into thinking that spray paint, lock chains, or firebombs make the world better. They don’t. They just give the government and the media an excuse to crack down harder.

his white paper explores how national security structures—especially those created in the wake of 9/11—were originally designed for foreign counterterrorism but were later repurposed for domestic control.

Just as Jim Crow used state law to resist civil rights for Black Americans, sanctuary cities use state and municipal laws to resist federal immigration policy, creating a new subclass of super-protected non-citizens and diminishing the rights and safety of American citizens.

One might argue that the natural check on bad rulings lies within the judiciary itself. The Supreme Court or appellate courts could, in theory, dismiss repeat legal challenges with statements like “asked and answered” or “duplicative of prior rulings.” And while this might sound ideal, the reality is more complex.

The ethos and actions espoused by Hamas, as detailed in their Covenant, pose major ethical and security concerns.
