Technocracy: Keeping Cops Honest
My WND Technocracy column this week is about the disturbing trend toward outlawing the recording of police when they’re on duty and working in public. Our police are public servants whom I respect very much. They are not, however, above the law, and when those in authority wield great power over free citizens, those... »
Dead Beyond the Fence
What a wretched story this is. I do not say, “What a wretched book this is,” because it isn’t terrible. Brian Kaufman’s writing, while burdened with too many overwrought metaphors, is at least competent, and the book has been properly edited. As a construction, as an example of the craft of writing, it is... »
Technocracy: Green Religionists Are Waging War On You
My WND Technocracy column this week is about the cult of green — the religion of environmentalism that leads leftists and commie-libs to decry as heretics all who disagree with their environmentalist fervor. The “green” movement has become an ideological haven for socialists, communists, and other collectivists, whose central-planning control schemes dovetail well with... »
Technocracy: Ray Bradbury’s Call for Revolution
My WND Technocracy column this week concerns recent comments the 90-year old science fiction author made when he complained of “too much government” and “too many Internets.” When liberals attempt to silence political dissent on talk radio through re-enacting the euphemistically termed “Fairness Doctrine,” I think I see the coiled and merciless mechanical hound... »
Technocracy: The tangled Web of lies
My WND Technocracy column this week is about the way the Web is used to propagate self-promoting lies… while our legal system is used to protect those who do so. Speak out against anyone or anything online and it is only a matter of time before someone at least threatens to sue you. Read... »
Technocracy: Fluoride Fear-Mongers
My WND Technocracy column this week is a follow-up to my earlier piece on fluoride, which generated so much hate mail. To assess the purpose and place of technology in your life requires reasoned, rational thought. As I wrote in the article, Those who propagate fluoride conspiracy theories repeat incessantly the myth that fluoride’s... »
“Infowars” Takes A Shot At Technocracy
Just whe my e-mail inbox stopped filling up with fluoride-related emails, Alex Jones’ Infowars site ran an article by Rob Dew and Kurt Nimmo (a soft drink and a Star Wars character, no doubt) entitled, “WorldNetDaily writer says Fluoride is good for you: An Open Letter to Phil Elmore.” It’s really a beautiful conspiracy... »
Technocracy: Big Brother In Your… Underwear?
My latest WND Technocracy column revisits the dangers of RFID technology and how to cope with the security risks it represents: You’ve got to conduct yourself responsibly as an informed, reasonably – dare I say it – paranoid consumer, at least in regard to your personal data. Read the full column here at WorldNetDaily. »
The Stephen King Formula
Imagine, if you will, that you have in your home a small office. It is a pleasant enough office. Its shelves are covered in sentimental knicknacks and sag with books. Your desk is cluttered, but you know where everything is. You keep a small plant on the windowsill that you hope does not die.... »
Technocracy: Is Fluoride Part of Globalist Plot?
My WND Technocracy column this week debunks conspiracy theories about fluoride, which some wingnuts seem to believe is a Nazi-era brain-softening industrial waste toxin used for mass mind control. “According to the conspiracy theorists, fluoride was first added to water by the Nazis…” Read the full column here at WorldNetDaily. »
