Who Is That Man? In Search of the Real Bob Dylan: An Interview with David Dalton

John W. Whitehead April 30th, 2012

Tweet

“Like Bob Dylan, the authentic American genius is a synthetic personality. They’re all hybrids, hence, inevitably, charlatans. It’s the chameleon nature of the American hero—the confidence man, the hustler. His solution to the question of identity is that of the three-card monte player. Anyone looking for the Grand Unifying Theory of Bob is just going to have to keep looking.”—David Dalton, Who Is That Man? In Search of the Real B … (Read More)

John W. Whitehead March 6th, 2012

Tweet

Has the First Amendment become an exercise in futility? In this week’s vodcast, I examine the case of Harold Hodge—a 45-year-old African-American male arrested for violating a federal law that prohibits protest activities outside of the Supreme Court—and its impact on free speech.

John W. Whitehead January 10th, 2012

Tweet

It was a year of populist uprisings, economic downturns, political assassinations, and one scandal after another. But as I point out in this week’s vodcast, on the civil liberties front, things were particularly grim.

Occupy America and Friendly Fascism: Life in the Corporate Police State

John W. Whitehead November 14th, 2011

Tweet

(If you're on the front page of the site, click the title of this post to see the video player.)

Time will tell whether the Occupy protests amount to anything more than an expression of discontent on the part of the 99%. However, as I point out in this week's vodcast, what has been made clear, is that the 1% is protected by its own security force—the police—funded ironically enough by the very 99% against whom they are waging war with pepper spray, rubber … (Read More)

The War on the American People – John W. Whitehead on SBE

Erik Guzman October 21st, 2011

Tweet

Has the war on drugs become the war on the American people? Constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead says that it has. Is legalizing marijuana the solution?

According to a recent article by Whitehead, warrantless SWAT team raids are becoming commonplace and a rising number of innocent people are being subjected to brutal tactics in the failed war on drugs. All the while the Fourth Amendment is going up in smoke.

The War on Drugs Has Become the War on the American People

John W. Whitehead October 21st, 2011

Tweet

"On July 29, 2008, my family and I were terrorized by an errant Prince George's County SWAT team. This unit forced entry into my home without a proper warrant, executed our beloved black Labradors, Payton and Chase, and bound and interrogated my mother-in-law and me for hours as they ransacked our belongings… As I was forced to kneel, bound at gun point on my living room floor, I recall thinking that there had been a terrible mistake. However, as I have lea … (Read More)
