The sad plight of “liberalism” is on display in a recent New Yorker book review by Corey Robin. The essay, “How Do We Survive the Constitution,” laments that American society is increasingly disgusted by government institutions. Polling reveals that Americans have never had less trust in government or mass media. The largest segment of American society are those who have no trust in the media.
A similar history can be told regarding Americans’ trust in Congress, the Presidency, all of government, education, academia, and medicine. As government has taken increasing control over these institutions, peoples’ trust in the institutions has plummeted.
Now those who call themselves “liberals” are in a state of panic–despite being in control of all major institutions. And from Corey Robin’s New Yorker book review, it seems that contemporary “liberalism” is mostly just an effort to save “institutions” from popular hatred. Reviewing “How Democracies Die,” by the Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, Robin says that “liberals . . . felt betrayed not by their country but by its voters,” when Trump was elected president in 2016.
Gallup has been asking the same questions about Americans’ trust in institutions for 50 years. Gallup’s most recent poll shows that Americans who have no trust in media (a record 39%) remain the largest segment of American society.
Trust in mainstream news was at an all-time high around 1975. But it was about that time that U.S. Senate hearings exposed the fact that most major news outlets were secretly paid by the CIA or other federal agencies. Since then–as the “news” media continued to push pro-government, anti-freedom messaging constantly–trust has plummeted.
Even as government-supported “mainstream” news sources claim global warming is causing increasing wildfires, the data show the opposit.
2023 will almost certainly go down in records as one of the years with the LEAST amount of burn acreage. In California, the number of acres burned so far this year is less than one third of the five-year average, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
And although western Canada did experience a lot of wildfire this past summer, it seems those wildfires may have been set by arsonists.
Social media censorship started with claims it was aimed at “hate”; then at “misinformation”; now it is aimed at establishing “a shared set of facts and reality.”
Evita Duffy-Alfonso recently posted a TikTok video discussing the plans of global elites to restrict the mobility of common people under the guise of fighting “climate change.” See here.
But TikTok removed the video, with it’s “misinformation” characterization:
“In a global community, it is natural for people to have different opinions, but we seek to operate on a shared set of facts and reality. We do not allow inaccurate, misleading, or false content that may cause significant harm to individuals or society, regardless of intent.“
Like many other tech companies, TikTok is staffed by an unsettling number of former American intelligence officials.
Pro-government extremist “news” outlets can’t get people to pay to read their government propaganda.
The Washington Post is both government supporting and government supported. Its directors have been repeatedly linked to the CIA.
The “news”paper constantly publishes the news from the perspective desired by government agencies and intelligence departments. Many suspect the paper is secretly subsidized by the government.
These job cuts will constitute almost 10% of the Post’s workforce.
Americans grew richer with every generation. Until the last decade.
Economist Peter St. Onge reports that half of young Americans are now living with their parents for economic reasons. Cars on the road have never ben older and now average 12 years of age.
One of the most important measures of human wellbeing is interior living space. Interior living space literally provides people with shelter, protection and defense from the elements. Houses grew in average square footage for two-and-a-half centuries But now houses are shrinking.
The American diet is going third world. High quality food, such as meat is being replaced with lower quality food, such as beans (and, now, apparently, bugs).
Even life expectancy is falling for almost a decade, breaking the 200 year trend.
A few years ago, Zerohedge ran an article reporting that hundreds if not thousands of federal agents secretly spend their 8-hour shifts editing the online encyclopedia known as Wikipedia. This news got very little traction in mainstream presses.
Now Wikipedia co-founder Lawrence Mark Sanger says the CIA and other intelligence agencies have been in charge of Wikipedia for 15 years. See Sanger’s interview with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald.
Sanger also said these covert agencies have been pushing the site to show leftist, socialist, and pro-government ideological beliefs as facts.
Wikipedia now officially lists “80 percent of the major sources of news on the right to be unreliable.” The site references pro-government (and government-supported) news sources such as CNN, MSNBC and New York Times as authoritative. See here.
Greenwald points out that Google and other search engines are now intertwined with Wikipedia, and promote Wikipedia’s contents above all other contents when people type in search terms.
Today, Wikipedia’s government-controlled content literally populates the windows which open when Google and other search engines bring up lists of information regarding any topic.
With all the current talk about catastrophic global climate change, one would think governments would want to bolster their doomsday claims with hard data. But the US government’s “Status of Glaciers in Glacier National Park” data table, available on the USGS website at Status of Glaciers in Glacier National Park | U.S. Geological Survey (usgs.gov), has not been updated in EIGHT (8) years.
For years, a small group of government “scientists” have been publishing, announcing, and predicting that all glaciers in Glacier National Park are nearing extinction. Lysander Spooner University has been the only institution that has dared to challenge these claims.
This small group of heavily-funded government scientists exists in utmost privilege, advantage and luxury. At least one book has been written about them (“The Melting World,” available in GNP bookstores). Their every word and proclamation about melting glaciers is repeated in “news” media without challenge. They are allowed to testify in Montana courtrooms without any material cross-examination by Montana government lawyers .
But the last year of “data” regarding glacier size was published in 2016. For data gathered in 2015. That’s EIGHT-YEAR-OLD data. In the past two years I myself have authored TWO articles on the government’s manipulation of data. (The government purports to show massive percentage reductions in GNP glacier size by comparing contemporary size numbers with estimates gained from MAPS drawn in the 1960s. (You can’t make this up.)
My emails with a representative of the USGS in Bozeman, Montana led to statements that the government had completed aerial photography flights for size determinations IN SEPTEMBER 2021. For those who need reminding, 2021 was an extreme drought year across Montana which set numerous records for lack of rainfall. GNP’s glaciers did indeed melt more than during other summers. I’ve been expecting that the USGS would soon release their “Glaciers Melting Faster than Ever”-type headlines at any moment.
But what happened? Why hasn’t the government published new data? Could it be that data fudging or cherrypicking has caught up to the USGS? The current NPS pamphlet “Climate Change in National Parks” states that glaciers and ice sheets “are shrinking at an accelerated rate.”
Could it be the government doesn’t want to produce data which refutes their claims?

Recently, Montana State district Judge Kathy Seeley’s verdict in Held v. Montana made national headlines. Most of the news reporting echoed the Bozeman Daily Chronicle’s assessment that “‘This changes everything’: Experts respond to Held v. Montana climate ruling” (Aug. 18, 2023) (echoing the title of a famed climate doomsday book by avowed marxist Naomi Klein). The decision struck down a State law requiring that the climate change religion should not be considered when State officials make energy decisions.
The Chronicle’s Micah Drew wrote that the Held verdict is “the first legal opinion of its kind, spelling out the environmental harms caused by greenhouse gas emissions as well as the effects of climate change on the physical and mental well-being of young people.” The Chronicle interviewed Michael Gerrard, the founder of Columbia Law School’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, who said the ruling was the “strongest decision on climate change ever issued by any court.” “The court resoundingly affirmed what the climate scientists are saying,” said Gerrard, “and it will become ever harder to attack basic climate science in the court, where facts matter.”
But I myself attended much of the trial proceedings in the case, and even wrote my synopsis in a Gateway Pundit article on July 3, 2023. I wrote that “the States’ defense lawyers failed to vigorously cross-examine any of the plaintiffs’ “science” experts, and did not even present any countervailing science information.” I concluded that “Trial in Held v. Montana might be compared to the Salem Witch Trials, in which “spectral evidence” was presented without challenge.” There was absolutely no scientific debate in the trial. None.
Montana’s great physicist, Dr. Ed Berry, offered the same insights:
“Montana lost because [Montana Republican Attorney General Austin] Knudsen did not defend against the plaintiffs’ climate claims. Worse, before the trial began on June 12, 2023, Assistant AG Michael Russell stipulated,
“for the purposes of trial, there is a scientific consensus that earth is warming as a direct result of human GHG emissions, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels.”
“Knudsen gave away the farm. He caved on climate and gave the Democrats control of Montana’s mining, energy, economy, and education.”
Usually lawyers stipulate to a factual proposition in order to clear the trial of discussion of that issue. But despite Attorney General Knudsen’s stipulation, the plaintiffs filled the record to overflowing with doomsday pseudoscientific claims about the effects of human-produced CO2. And Knudsen’s legal team offered no pushback. The judge, according to Berry, “properly used the evidence presented in the trial. The Supreme Court will agree with the judge.”
An astounding story is developing in the State of Georgia. Georgia’s Attorney General recently indicted former U.S. President Donald Trump and 17 others for election fraud. The specific claims are that Trump and various lawyers and officials claimed in 2020 that Georgia presidential vote tallies were rigged against Trump. Trump and his lawyers and support team challenged, spoke out, and sought and generally lobbied for Georgia election officials to investigate such election improprieties.
Now Trump and over a dozen others stand accused of felonies for their challenges. For the most part, mainstream news institutions have simply repeated and bolstered prosecution claims that Trump had nothing to complain about. Georgia’s 2020 election counts were just fine, they report.
But Project Veritas has revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice secretly warned, ordered or coerced social media giants such as Twitter to censor news that thousands of “voters” were registered to vote from a single address. See here.
