Last Rights: The Death of American Liberty
Americans today have "freedom" to be fleeced, harassed, surveilled, vilified, beaten, jailed, and maybe shot by federal agents. "We live in a world in which everything has been criminalized," warns Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. From hapless homeowners hit by SWAT raids to pandemic lockdowns pointlessly paralyzing lives, government agencies have become far more intrusive and abusive. There is no escape from tinhorn dictators seizing guns, sabotaging school-ing, and wrecking the housing market. From the FBI fabricating crimes and targeting Catholics and perturbed parents, to the TSA daily molesting legions of women, to the IRS plundering and blundering, Uncle Sam is on the rampage. The federal government dropped an Iron Curtain of secrecy around itself while launching a "Ministry of Truth" and the worst censorship in U.S. history. The Constitution failed to leash politicians and the Bill of Rights failed to protect citizens. At a time when many people fear our nation is spiraling towards dictatorship or civil war, notori-ous investigative journalist James Bovard is back with another masterful blend of political outrages and comic relief. Last Rights explains how America went awry and how we can still rescue individual liberty.
