Science Group Asks NASA to Remove Bogus “97 % Consensus” Claim From NASA Website
Politicians promoting the government’s catastrophic-global-warming-by-manmade-CO2 claims routinely reference a discredited statistic, stating without condition that there is a “97 percent consensus” among scientists that human-released carbon dioxide is causing the earth to warm.

Wesleyan University Eliminates Funding of Student Newspaper After it Prints “Conservative” Column
America’s colleges and universities have become dens of extreme pro-government, socialist sentiment where diverse views critical of the omnipotent state are generally shunned. Wesleyan University in Connecticut is typical. Although Wesleyan is a private, religiously-affiliated school, federal government dollars flow freely through the institution, and the University’s campus culture exemplifies the extremist and government-supremacist ideology …

Losing the battle on science, governments increasingly seek to “settle” the global-warming question in court
You know governments are losing the battle in the field of science when they seek to create judgments and “findings of fact.” They did it to Socrates. They did it to Galileo. Now, increasingly, governments and socialist promoters of the catastrophic-manmade-global-warming-by-human-released-CO2 theory are resorting to the strong arm of government venues, such as courts, commissions …

Federal Prosecutors Fail to Convict Ron Paul’s Two Top Campaign Officials
One of the most dangerous things one can do in any society is lead a movement that threatens the fundamental dominance of a king, a reigning politician, or prevailing government.

American colleges are the least free places in America
America’s colleges are the least free places in the country. Virtually every major American university–and perhaps every GOVERNMENT university–provides a campus upon which opinions which challenge or criticize the state or the state’s government-focused theology are suppressed. Surveys show that college students overwhelmingly indicate fear of holding non-government-approved opinions. See this video by Greg Lukianoff …

55 Percent of American colleges impose unconstitutional speech codes
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has surveyed America’s colleges and found that 55 percent of them impose speech restrictions on students. See their website. These colleges clearly and substantially restrict freedom of speech, purport to censor “offensive speech” (meaning, generally any antigovernment thought), or restrict “free speech” to a campus “zone.” FIRE’s …

A dying socialist city: Chicago
Socialism is a curse that one should wish only on a hated enemy. All societies which embrace it become sick and weak. Gary North has a new column about the death of a major socialist city: Chicago. See here. “The four major employers in Chicago, in this order, are these: the federal government, the public …

Wisconsin “Campaign Finance” Police Use Tactics Inspired by the USA Patriot Act
It is by far the greatest danger to First Amendment freedoms in American history: the modern “campaign finance reform” movement. Every claim used to promote government controls over political campaign ads is untrue. Here is a Reason.com article about Wisconsin political police–who raid people’s homes under cover of darkness and regularly tell those under investigation …
