AP Photo/Jae C. Hong, File In the 90’s I remember a big hub-bub about friends procuring copies of The Anarchist Cookbook . To get you up to speed, the book had content to teach in part crude bomb making, about explosives, booby traps, etc. By today’s standards, the book would be lacking for your DIY home anarchist’s kit, as with the internet there is so much more out there. One of the interesting things about the book is that it was under the scrutiny of the federal government at one time, big surprise there. According to the Wikipedia pag e on the book: The book was reviewed by the Department of Justice, the White House, the FBI, and by both John Dean and Mark Felt, Richard Nixon’s lawyer and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s associate director respectively. While having concerns about the text, the FBI concluded that it could not be regulated as it was published through mass media. Furthermore, the FBI ruled that The Anarchist Cookbook does not incite “forcible resistance to any law of the United States” and is therefore protected under the First Amendment. To think anything different would be crazy. Of course the book is protected under the First Amendment. While we’re on the subject of First Amendment protected rights, the reintroduction of the 3D Printed Gun Safety Act occurred on June 29, 2021.
Let’s get one thing out of the way; in no way, shape, form, or manner am I comparing the manufacture of explosives to building at home firearms. I do, however, think it’s important to set the record straight that if a book on bomb making, explosives, and embraces radical ideals is protected speech, then clearly the plans for 3D printed firearms are as well. The bill text even has a feeble attempt to quash concerns surrounding the chilling of First Amendment expression: Congress seeks not to regulate the rights of computer programmers under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, but rather to curb the pernicious effects of untraceable—and potentially undetectable—firearms. That’s cute. As if they have a crystal […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
