"Get out while you can. This place is broken." [View all]

That sounds hyperbolic. However, after reading Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez's most recent piece written after she was targeted with a directed-energy weapon (DEW) for her reporting on Epstein, I think you'll agree it's not.

I'm 83 and (just) able to afford to stay in my home of almost thirty five years. I would like my son to be able to keep our house and the gardens created by us to be a sanctuary, an escape from external pressures, a place to "just be." After reading this piece, I fear that's a pipedream.

How do we, as a nation, recover from the imbalance imposed upon us by the hyper wealthy, greedy, and influential people that control all aspects of our lives?
