The Vampire State: Feeding on Our Fear, Freedom and Finances
The American Police State has evolved into something far more predatory: a Vampire State that feeds on fear, obedience, and the lifeblood of freedom itself. One tax, one war, one surveillance program at a time, the monster behind the mask of government power is bleeding us dry.
October 22, 2025
Who Would Jesus Bomb? The Gospel According to the Military-Industrial Complex
Faith, patriotism, and the machinery of war have merged into a blasphemous creed of power. When war becomes worship in the American Police State, both Christ and the Constitution are betrayed.

Police State Bounty Hunters: The Rise of ICE's Unconstitutional War on America
Once justified as "immigration enforcement"—ICE now embodies the hallmarks of a police state: lawless power, political theater, and fear-based control. They have become bounty hunters in everything but name—predators unleashed on their own people.

Trump's Everywhere War: An Insurrection Against the Constitution
What the White House is doing overseas to vessels it deems part of a terrorist network (without any credible proof or due process), it is now mimicking at home with door-kicking raids, mass surveillance, and ideological watchlists.

Battlefield America: Trump's War on the Enemy Within—the American People
Under the banner of "war," the government is giving itself license to treat the American people as the enemy.
