The earth shifts on its axis. Around the world, men and women are raising their voices for freedom. Protestors everywhere are making the words of America’s great patriot Patrick Henry their anthem — Give me liberty or give me death.
In the last few months, demonstrations have erupted across the globe. There is only so long that governments can keep us from our birthright, and then we march — we the people are resolved to triumph over tyranny.
The people have taken to the streets in cities across China to protest the communist regime’s covid policy. Long harsh lockdowns have impoverished and demoralized China’s population already under constant surveillance. The Chinese people fight for freedom and the freedoms of their families and neighbors.
In Iran, young people risk their lives facing down an Islamic fundamentalist dictatorship that jails, tortures, rapes, and executes its own population. The Iranian people demand justice, liberty, and dignity.
In Brazil, millions march together protesting the recent suspect election that returned a far-left-wing ideologue to power. The Brazilian people will be heard.
In Canada, truckers and other hard-working blue-collar men and women unite in the nation’s capital to take a stand against their government’s covid vaccine mandates. The Canadian people will be the masters of their fate.
Everywhere we look people are rising to retake their birthrights — rights to privacy, to move freely, to work, to choose their own leaders, to decide for themselves. That is, no matter the place and no matter the time, people will not surrender nor be denied their inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Our Founding Fathers would be proud to see their convictions gird the faith of so many around the world and inspire uprisings against repressive governments attempting to withhold the God-given rights of others.
The question is, why does our current batch of American leaders side with the despots?
For half a century, the US establishment, left and right together, line its own pockets, benefiting hand-over-fist from sketchy dealings made quietly with the Chinese Communist Party. The bulk of our leadership prefers to appease rather than crush the Tehran terror regime. It coddles rather than confronts leftist dictatorships in our own hemisphere.
And news reports show our shameless pilots of government partnering with a Canadian quisling to threaten our cousins to the north with bankruptcy and prison for raising their voices and standing firm for freedom.
Our ruling classes have lost the thread. Amid the roars and shouts of the world, they are deaf to the outcries for freedom. So it is again time for us, the free people of this great nation, to take our rightful place. We take the hands of our brothers and sisters across the world and join them in the chorus we were born to lead — all our rights are ours alone. No government, dictator or tyrant may lay claim. We were born free and will leave this plot of earth the same.

This is the fourteenth article in our series on the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and its self-destruction over time.
In 2016, the world was shocked by reports of the largest case of sexual abuse in the history of American sports. USA Gymnastics’ team physician, Dr. Larry Nassar, had sexually abused hundreds of young girls under his care. Nassar is currently serving a 175-year prison sentence for his crimes. However, just as shocking is how the FBI allowed this abuse to continue. In July 2021, the Office of the Inspector General released a damning report, demonstrating that the FBI’s Indianapolis Field Office took no action for a full eight months after it was informed by USA Gymnastics of Nassar’s abuse.
Former U.S. gymnast McKayla Maroney testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, “After telling my entire story of abuse to the FBI in the summer of 2015, not only did the FBI not report my abuse, but when they eventually documented my report 17 months later, they made entirely false claims about what I said.” Similarly, the OIG’s report showed that the FBI not only “failed to respond to the Nassar allegations with the utmost seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required,” but also “made numerous and fundamental errors when they did respond to them, and violated multiple FBI policies.” As seems typical, the Justice Department never pursued charges against the agents who refused to investigate Nassar.
There may be a reason that the FBI turned a blind eye to these sex crimes. The ranks of the FBI appear to have been riddled with hundreds of employees with their own records of sexual abuse. And, making it even worse, the FBI as an institution has a practice of covering up sexual misconduct within its own ranks.
On October 5, 2022, Senator Charles Grassley, as ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released excerpts from FBI documents obtained from a whistleblower. These documents reveal that between 2004 and 2022, fully 665 FBI employees, including 45 Senior Executive Service-level employees, retired or resigned following OIG investigations into sexual misconduct. Grassley wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray, shredding the “systemic failure within the Justice Department and FBI to protect female employees from sexual harassment and sexual misconduct….” Fed up, Grassley has demanded an OIG investigation of the FBI’s failure to clean up its own house of sexual harassment and assault.
The list of abuses is extensive and longstanding. The following illustrations were all drawn from published sources.
Sometime charges are brought, but often the FBI lets these matters slide. “Director Wray [has] not aggressively moved to solve the sexual misconduct problems at the FBI,” Grassley wrote in his October 5, 2022 letter. “[H]igher-graded employees, especially supervisors, are more likely to [be] subjected to lesser penalties; whereas, lower-graded employees are seemingly more likely to be…dismissed for their sexual misconduct. This may give the appearance the FBI is not holding its supervisors accountable for unwelcome sexual conduct,” Grassley added.
Rather than the FBI cleaning up its own ranks, its recent actions show how low of a priority sex crimes are. In September 2022, House Judiciary Committee Republicans sent their own letter to FBI Director Wray, detailing an FBI whistleblower’s allegation that “FBI agents were moved off child sex abuse cases to work on political investigations,” perpetuating the FBI’s big lie that the greatest threat faced by the nation is “domestic violent extremism.”
The FBI has had multiple chances to fix the sexual abuse and corruption that exists within it, but it is beyond repair. The FBI cannot be fixed; it must be closed down.
