Abolitionist Lysander Spooner’s 1870 work, No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, argues that the U.S. Constitution lacks legal validity.

At the time of the first elections, less than 1% of the population actually voted, yet newspapers and bankers portrayed the new government as a legitimate mandate.

Author Patrick Channard discusses his transition from a director at the Central Gulf Coast Archaeological Society to an independent researcher. He describes the resentment he faced from university professors after exploring unconventional theories proposed by Graham Hancock and Robert Schoch. Channard argues that mainstream academia is too conservative to accept new evidence regarding human origins.
