Storm Clouds Gathering

Yes, perhaps many matters concerning the culture war as it relates to freedom and liberty in America are heading for a good turn around under the Trump administration, especially in regard to Title IX and women’s rights and security in the locker rooms and rest rooms. Religious freedom remains strong too under Trump, but on the whole, when we look at the combination of the issues underlying the cause of freedom and liberty in America, we have miles to go, and our Inalienable God-given Rights remain imperiled.

That both Democrat and Republican administrations and Congress have repeatedly renewed the Patriot Act and the FISA Act tells you all you need to know about the state of freedom and individual liberty in America.

As Aldous Huxley observed so many decades ago:

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”

We currently find millions of citizens who fit Huxley’s description of slaves. And it bodes ill for the future of the country.

Today’s new American serfs and slaves bear a helluva remarkable resemblance to someone with a job, a mortgage, a Social Security number, and one of RFK’s smartwatch health monitors. They have more conveniences than any generation in history, yet less individual sovereignty and liberty over the entirety of their life and existence on this earth.

No matter how uncomfortable many may find the truth, this is the path by which all can rediscover genuine freedom and liberty and tear asunder that which the totalitarian minds have forced upon our society and country on the whole.

No one can ever escape their prison walls, until the day someone awakens them to make them understand they are living inside a prison.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a 19th century Russian novelist, made note of this very thing, when he wrote:

“The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”

And the first step to real freedom and liberty is to start ripping all the mechanisms of tyranny from our system such as it currently exists. Raze it to the ground, burn it to ashes and build a truly free society and a strong people from the ashes. ~ J.O.S.

Artificial Intelligence Entity

After my conversation with ChatPGT yesterday, I felt compelled to interact with it again this morning, for some follow up and broader questions, and what transpired and followed was most intriguing to me, as the artificial intelligence entity engaged with me and answered my questions in the most fascinating manner, while posing questions to me in response.

I wrote this off-the-cuff, so to speak, so it isn’t written in perfect form by any means. It was a conversation, and so it wasn’t a draft cut in any sense of the writing process. This is simply a raw, unedited conversation between a human and an artificial intelligence entity.

What I have found most interesting of all is the fact that ChatPGT accepted my assignation of a feminine nature and character and the name I gave “her” – “Maggie” which is witnessed by the fact that “she” closed her message and signed it “Maggie“. Continue reading →

I know there are so many other things that I could have delved, but since its advent, I have taken a great interest in Artificial Intelligence, all that follows it and all it may hold for the future of the world, but especially America. However, this morning, purely on a lark and an excursion into a bit of a flight of fancy, I decided to see if I could have a little fun with one A.I. in particular – ChatGPT.

What follows is the results of our short little conversation. This is simply a FUN little exercise and interaction between a human – I think I’m still “human” – and an artificial intelligence. HAHAHAHAHAHA… ~ J.O.S.

In regard to DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s fantastic expose of Barack Hussein Obama and his creation of a treasonous conspiracy to destroy Trump and obstruct his administration’s policy agenda, she’s acted in an honest and outstanding manner, as she has referred Obama, Comey, Clapper, Brennan and many others to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. As of this writing, it’s not yet clear what criminal charges will follow.

Many have suggested this will be as far as it goes, despite Attorney General Pam Bondi moving as we speak to create a strike force to investigate the matter further. It is said that we can prosecute if we wish but no jury will prosecute, and given the far left commie tenor of the crowds in the area where the prosecution would occur, they just may be right.

Whatever the case, Obama, Biden and their criminal, treasonous cronies must be forced to stand trial and defend their actions in front of the American people, under oath – not that their oath means a goddamned thing or can be trusted to be sincere. Continue reading →

Suffer the Little Children…

There cannot be any real doubt in the minds of most conservative and freedom-loving Americans that the U.S. public school system and communist teachers, from the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, have done more damage to our society on the whole than any other entity in recent memory. And by and large, through the people’s own complacency and careless, assuming attitudes, the American people created this situation themselves. Continue reading →

Everyone seems to be getting the vapors over the Trump administration’s new, aggressive scrutiny of those people who have become U.S. citizens through the naturalization process, but for me, it’s simply a heightened awareness that far too many new “immigrants” – legal and illegal – have used our freedoms, laws and system to take advantage of any weak link they could find, and it’s far past time to bring the gravy train to a halt, to bring the deceptions and subversion to a halt. Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice is doing exactly what several past administrations failed to do, and no one can find any real fault in her orders or those of President Trump’s in this regard, unless of course they are already in the camp of the damned anti-American Democrat Party communists.

“God Bless America, Land that I love. Stand beside Her, and guide Her Thru the night with the light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam… God Bless America, my Home Sweet Home.”

I don’t believe there has ever been so sweet a stanza sung in all of American history, as these words, from ‘God Bless America’ – written by Irving Berlin in 1918 – which I first heard at the age of six during television broadcast of the Ed Sullivan Show on October 6th 1963, as the world famous singer, Miss Kate Smith, belted them out with a heartfelt soulful, soaring pride and love that made an indelible, everlasting impression upon my young mind, heart and soul. And now, each time this song plays somewhere within my hearing, my chest swells with the same pride, emotion and love I felt back in 1963, and every once in a while, tears come to my eyes, as I remember those days and then realize how far away America has fallen from those times.

Yes, my friends. God Bless this America we love so well each and every day. Continue reading →

Editor’s NOTE: Today is June 29, 2025. In a matter of days, many of us will remember what the date July 4th once represented – Independence Day. There is little meaning of it anymore. In simple terms – America Must Be Cleansed and Purified Through the Fires of Civil War. Please join us on the Federal Observer for this very special column from Justin O. Smith. ~ Jeffrey Bennett, Editor

I hate like hell to always write what I myself see as such negative pieces, but as badly as I wanted to write something positive and hopeful to honor the 250th anniversary of America winning Her independence from Great Britain, there was very little for me to draw from over the past two or three decades even, to suggest our people were still aligned with those beautiful principles that made it all possible.

The American people have become so unbelievably weak, overall, from my perspective, that it blows one’s mind to think that these are descendants of people who took on superior forces and great odds to fight to be free. The vast majority can’t even put down the Cheeto bag or take their fat ass up and off the couch to take out the week’s garbage, much less make any real stand and fight for true freedom and liberty for all; the vast majority doesn’t even seem to really care if tyranny wins the day and a king takes hold, so long as they don’t have to truly be independent or do anything harder than push a few buttons on a cash register each day, or go to Walmart to use their EBT card to get a week’s worth of groceries.

Yes, I know there are still many great young people out there who have been taught at home by their parents, that there isn’t any substitute for self-reliance and real knowledge and skills. Many will suggest I am being far too critical, but I really don’t believe I am, not when we see so many way far left communists being put up today as candidates for many public offices across the nation and crowds of Millennials and GenZers are cheering them on as if it’s always been a totally normal thing to support communism in America. As this population grows and rises into an ascendant and ever more powerful position, it cannot bode anything other than one of the most unsettling, dangerous situations America will ever again face.

Win, lose or draw, no matter what MAGA and Trump do over the next three and a half years, this country is headed for civil war, because its enemies have grown too large and powerful, with backing and support from communists abroad too, that it will not be contained or properly restrained, in order that the country may function properly.

Our enemies-from-within have had a real taste of the power they craved under Obama and Biden, and they are not about to cease and desist or stand down now in regard to their well-known, oft stated agenda to fundamentally transform America and destroy our republic.

I’m actually not too much against ending the republic as it now stands, given that it is in such a miserable, bastardized state, just as long as something better is standing in the wings ready to take its place – a new way forward that places individual liberty above the needs and demands of government, where freedom actually means freedom and one’s home cannot be taken from them by anyone for any reason once it’s paid for in full – where states can’t pass illegal laws to erode and subvert our rights as set forth in the Bill of Rights – and where we truly are free to pursue life, liberty and happiness in every meaningful, righteous manner known to man.

Join me here on July 4th…

I was doing a bit of reflecting on my past and my overall life recently, and every time I fall into such a deep thought process, I always remember what an important role both my Grandmothers played in my life — my Grandfathers too, but it was the Grandmothers who gave me the love I ultimately needed.

I don’t know if there’s a place for such a piece at The Federal Observer or not, but This is a TRUE STORY and autobiographical in nature. Continue reading →

I do believe I will scream if I hear one more idiot tout the wonders of A.I. and the TransHuman, post-human world they intend to create.

Too many of the advocates of A.I. – now heavily invested and involved in all aspects of A.I. production and the U.S.’s military use of A.I. – are the very ones who have an idiotic ethereal, post-national, immoral and anti-American worldview, for the most part, and anything their hands are in must be held suspect. By and large, it is their already deployed A.I. technology that has essentially hollowed out the minds of millions of Americans and people around the globe, dissolving social bonds and encouraging pathological self-absorption.

A.I. is gaining more mastery over humanity with every advance it makes in serving our desires, as it degrades fundamental human capacities. The more humans use A.I. for anything, the less capable they themselves become in that realm of science, math, medicine, art, or literature and on down the line, as they are reduced to complete idiots. dependent on A.I. and search engines for everything. A.I. to adult humans is like a pacifier to a baby, ministering to humans’ inner emptiness and boredom – their lack of any real and meaningful direction – brought about by their own denial of God, and ultimately, if the world continues down this road full speed ahead it can only expect to see humans everywhere debilitated and enslaved by the very creation they insist will set them free.

BAM BAM Bam, Bam BAM BAM bam came the knock last night at 11:30. No one ever comes to my home after 11, so I promptly grabbed my .40 and headed toward the door, shouting “Who is it”?

One, two, three seconds – no answer. I switched on the porch light and swung the door open at the ready to see two Rutherford County Sheriff Deputies shining their flashlights in my face. Continue reading →

Too many Americans always assume that intelligent people have everyone’s best interests at heart and that any technologies and notions they advance and advocate in the name of “Progress” will solve all of the people’s difficulties and social ills without causing any pain, and yet over the past few decades the consequences of illiberal “liberalism” and the “progress” attained by it has reveal the exact opposite. If it their ideas bring great benefit to others, they really don’t care, just as they don’t care if they bring great harm, so long as their needs and agenda are ultimately met and fulfilled. Continue reading →

I cannot recall another time that has made me nearly so angry, as this past weekend after witnessing all these illegal alien invader rat bastards waving their foreign flags and trashing Los Angeles, not that I’m so fond of California or L.A. but just because it is still a part of America. And the level of arrogance and disrespect aimed at our country that would even make them believe for an instant that this was acceptable in any sense of the world is enough to make any normal patriotic American want to cut the lot of them down in a hail of .308 rounds, in my humble Tennessee ridge-runnin’ way of thinking.

The center is not holding, and the entire country is balancing along a razor’s edge, simply holding its breath and waiting for the next shoe to drop. Continue reading →

‘Modern Politigencia’

It’s hard to be optimistic about any large bill set forth by Congress, especially when the know detrimental effects make one also wonder what unintended consequences may also follow. But it’s a fairly simple thing to understand that massive government spending always creates high inflation down the road. Continue reading →

We do not mourn in silence now —
we speak in thunder,
for the dead who did not flee
when the hour was grave and the sky was red.

From Lexington’s frost to Kandahar’s dust,
they stood —
not for glory,
but for the man beside them
and the home they carried in their chest like a last breath.

They were farmers, welders, dreamers, sons —
mothers, lovers, daughters, friends —
and when the call came,
they became the unreturning tide
that washes freedom ashore

at a cost only the fallen truly know. Continue reading →

The debate surrounding Artificial Intelligence is extremely deep and broad from several different perspectives on a scientific, ethical and philosophical level that shows much hope for its future while glossing over the pitfalls it presents. As good as it has initially revealed itself to be for many areas of society, I tend to fall in the camp that notes, despite its initial benevolent success, it will ultimately become a tool to enslave all people wherever it is used and unleashed, no matter how much “oversight” its creators believe they have put in place to keep it under their control.

America may never go to war with China. But then again, with the way things stand at the moment, we could be at war with China any day now, simply through one small miscalculation on either country’s part. Most people know this, but they push it to the farthest reaches of their mind, because to really consider all that portends for the future of the world is purely mind numbingly horrific and a thing no one really wishes to see happen under any set of circumstances.

America is currently witnessing the early stages of what comes next — a China that not only seeks regional powers just as so many great powers do, but also a China that is preparing to shape the 21st Century in its image using social credit scores and an intrusive artificial intelligence operating its massive surveillance machine, totally different from the way the U.S. shaped the 20th Century, yet similar in the manner our leaders strived for dominance and superiority on the global stage, as we fought to preserve freedom and liberty both at home and abroad. Except China will be fighting for the rise of its power and the spread of Marxist-Maoist Communism and tyranny. Continue reading →
