HALF-FULL REPORT 05/14/21

WHAT NOW?
Some eighty million Trump voters (plus ten or twenty million likeminded others) have slowly woken up to a dystopic situation: People who want to raise families, do meaningful work and be left alone, have found themselves to be the playthings of lunatics. ...
HALF-FULL REPORT 05/15/20

GOOGLE IS EVIL. HERE’S HOW TO HURT THEM – AND ESCAPE THEM
[Intro note from Jack Wheeler: One of the nice things about TTP is the quality of insights I receive from members. After seeing what Google just did to one of its honest employees, TTPer Joe emailed me about living a Google-free life. More important, he an ...
WIKILEAKS AND THE CIA
This is about What We Know and.. What We Don't Want To Know. Let’s start by looking at what Wikileaks revealed about the CIA in their recent “Vault 7” document dump, which you can find here. I am taking these leaks as real. Whether you like Julian ...
WHY NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE TURNOVER OF THE INTERNET
There's been a lot of concern recently about the “takeover of the Internet.” Yesterday (10/17), news reports broke that the lawsuit of four states suing the US for the Internet turnover has been dropped. Here’s why not to worry about it. There ...
THE INTERNET HAS BEEN WEAPONIZED
And, I'm sorry to say, it is now pointed at you. We more or less know this, of course. It's been beyond dispute since the Snowden revelations. What most people haven't done, however, is to face the fact. Before I get into three examples of a Weaponized I ...

HIDING FROM GOVERNMENT
However it happened, it is now clear that the US spy agencies, and the NSA in particular, have gone off the reservation. The military-industrial complex that Dwight Eisenhower warned us about has turned inward, and the perps are now us. That may be a bi ...
THE GOVERNMENT WANTS YOU TO LIVE IN FEAR
There was a shooting two days ago (9/16) in DC. The details are still sketchy as I write this, but it appears that a deranged man decided to kill other people for some reason. In response, the usual talking heads will be debating whether this is actual Te ...

THE DEMISE OF AND ANSWER TO SKYPE
Skype began as a very cool service. I used it and recommended it - a lot. Skype (originally Sky peer-to-peer) was a peer to peer voice system, which means that there was no central computer controlling everything. It was also encrypted, though the inter ...
THE SURVEILLANCE STATE MONSTER AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
There's really no more doubt about it, the US government is a Surveillance State, far beyond any East German autocrat's wildest dreams. And it is far, far more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda. We all come from a background that taught us that the Soviet U ...
IS THE UN TAKING OVER THE INTERNET?
I've been getting lots of questions on the Dubai ITU conference, which begins next Monday (12/03-14). There are a lot of misleading stories floating around. Each group in this fight has journalists that they control, and these "noble servants of the ...
LEGITIMACY AND DISOBEDIENCE
These are times that try men's souls, wrote Thomas Paine in 1776, and so is the time that's upon us now. So, it is time to examine our core beliefs, very clearly and plainly. More than anything else, difficult times demand that we know what we believe - n ...
SECURITY IN AN INSECURE WORLD
The Western world is rapidly devolving into an electronic police state. There was a time when it was commonly accepted that people had a right to privacy and a right to their property. Today, laws routinely allow the surveillance state to viol ...

HALF-FULL REPORT 07/09/10
Las Vegas. It's good to be here at Bally's in Vegas among several thousand pro-freedom folks at Mark Skousen's Freedom Fest. It's also creepy that right across the Strip from Bally's, Zero is at Caesar's as I am writing this. H ...
SUNSHINE FOR THE CONSERVATIVE SOUL IN SAN DIEGO
The TTP San Diego Rendezvous was our 8th, and by general consensus, the best one yet. Yes, there are TTPers like Ken Glass, Don Parker, Mark Gilligan, and Dan Barak who have been to all 8. There are several who come close, like the Dynamic B ...
DEFEATING THE ELECTRONIC POLICE STATE
There's an odd thing that happens when politicians get scared: They grudgingly call in the smart guys and let them loose. Most of us learn about this in elementary school: The smartest kid in the class is more or less abused until the class gets into re ...
THE ELECTRONIC POLICE STATE
Perhaps you saw the story headlined on Drudge (2/11) about the Obama Administration asserting that Americans have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" regarding their cell phone conversations. It's yet another sign of the emerging Electronic ...

WHAT A RENDEZVOUS!
