We view journalism as the cornerstone for a healthy democracy.

The irony of such a statement is staggering, when found in the same article in which its author is doing jubilant back-flips over the most anti-democratic bureaucracy in the American body politic (name of “IRS”) having deigned to issue a “ruling” (since when do Treasury Dept. functionaries hand down “rulings”, anyway? Is this not a judicial, rather than an executive, function?) enabling a news organization to run itself as it alone sees fit. Just one more of the endless historic examples of this “IRS” playing the roles of economic saboteur and universal domestic surveillance apparatus combined, only tokenly hiding behind its entirely unconvincing title’s suggesting its vast powers have anything at all to do with “revenue.”

No such thing as any “healthy democracy” is even distantly feasible, until and unless this monstrous state organ distributing federal power into literally every American household, business concern and institution is toppled once and for all, and the egregiously anti-constitutional occupationist tactic of taxing incomes as a means of data-gathering for the purpose of sustaining permanent fear of regime displeasure, has been brought to its overdue, ignominious, comprehensive and final end.

It astonishes me even as I write these words, every bit as much as it has since first I learned of it decades ago, that the land of the free and home of the brave has been under the coercive and invasive thumb of this absolutely unaccountable bureaucratic tyranny since long before living memory, primarily because too many Americans refuse to reclaim the dignity of their birthright liberties, and point out to these useless bureaucrats that what we do all day to earn a living and how we go on and spend it is not and never has been any of its nefarious business.
