There are two main senses for the definition of the word “Institutionalized” in this context: “established as a common and accepted part of a system or culture” and “created and controlled by an established organization.” Government institutions were created as a part of our culture to do what we agreed was best done collectively.
These institutions that are supposed to serve us now try to control us.
Take, for example, the federal courts.
The Supreme Court term ends at the end of June, when it usually releases its more controversial and important opinions.
Notice, I did not say rulings because, contrary to popular opinion, the Supreme Court does not rule; it opines.
Yet today, many not only refer to these opinions as “rulings” but attempt to enforce them as if they were. Over the next several days and weeks, I will look at some of these edicts from on high to give you some perspective and, hopefully, some insights. We start today with one case about free speech and another about elections.

Who is in charge of your children? That has been a perennial question that has grown in importance over the last few years. When I was a child, it was understood that, with rare exceptions, parents were in charge of a child’s upbringing. This included medical, religious, and educational decisions. However, over the last few decades, the role of the parent in these decisions has been replaced by experts. What happens when the goal of the experts differs from those of the parents? Who decides the future of the rising generations? It was understood that the state acted in loco parentis, in place of the parents, only for the safety of the child. A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that be it health departments, child services, schools, or even the courts. Government not only believes they know better than the parents, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.

With the release of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) applications, there has been a lot of speculation and downright assertions about our future. With over 30 years of experience in Information Technology (IT), not more than a passing understanding of AIs, I've come to the conclusion that much of what I've heard is more science fiction than fact. A recent court case decided in the D.C. District Court revolved around one very important question. Do AIs have rights?
In this third installment of the three-part series on the branches of government, we look at the role of the third and weakest branch. At least that is what our Founding Fathers thought of it. What is the role of the federal judiciary? What are the extent of their powers, how do they related to the other two branches of government, and why is a proper understanding of the role of the judiciary critical if the United States is to remain a constitutional republic?

The nation’s first Chief Justice, John Jay, said “Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the constitution of his country, and teach the rising generation to be free.” Well, it’s obvious that most people have not read, much less studied the Constitution. How else do you explain these violations of the supreme law of the land? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews

During the COVID scamdemic, I and many others pointed out the numerous violation of medical ethics by those in the healthcare system. Was this a one-off emergency, or did it expose a more serious problem. And just how can the Constitution be used to protect us against these violations? - Live 4PM ET with Host Paul Engel @CyberEngel @OutLoudNews
