Welcome to Truth Alert, the voice of the loyal opposition. Our mission is to defend the Constitution and systematically dismantle the modern, American, political paradigm.

The United States of America is in precipitous and alarming decline. As a people, we have become preoccupied with and distracted by disposable goods and entertainment. Economic determinism, consumer culture, and international capitalism are the operative words in America and increasingly the world today; the fast buck and maximization of profits by any means possible. People are conditioned to pursue flash, riches, and fame. Voluminous trash replaces the spiritual substance that has long satiated our soul. The state of the nation and the world in general is acceptable so long as the consumer’s personal and immediate world is good. Consequently, they willingly and disgustingly sell their national heritage and souls because of greed and selfish preoccupations, allowing the environment and their communities to be spoilt.

There is more to good citizenship than mindless, flag-waving cheerleading. The true patriot does more than recite slogans like, “Support the troops.” Our Forefathers envisioned a grand Republic but they knew that it would demand an informed and engaged citizenry. In most cases, this means hasty suspicion of government and its motives, particularly at the highest levels. In no way should our loyalty to our nation be contingent upon unflinching support for government policies, the contemporary administration, or the "official story".

Socio-political barriers are in place preventing frank discussion of a litany of critical national and international issues in mainstream media. Truth Alert smashes through those barriers to tackle the dire implications of the ongoing invasion of illegal aliens into our nation, manifestations of human-induced climate change, a growing energy deficit accompanying the arrival of peak oil production, skyrocketing national debt and a falling dollar, and the spiritual void of consumer culture. To contend with these converging catastrophes, the free Republic is under assault from within. Our political leaders are taking us down the road to totalitarianism and authoritarianism. The police state is a manifestation of coming calamities.

Truth Alert is a veritable weapon because it offers powerful information. The most important weapon in the struggle to regain and retain liberty is an intelligent body, possessing an anti-state attitude, and an understanding of the driving forces behind events.

Fear not, fellow citizens, dissent is patriotic. Unite and restore the Republic!
