Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

You're right, but there are some companies seeking to make ethically sourced cocao products. My personal favorite is Tony's Chocolonely. They do a ton of research on their sources, and even still they openly acknowledge that it's extremely difficult to hold their sources accountable and will switch sources as soon as they know it's happening. They also have other principles to disincentivize forced and child labor in the first place, like paying higher wages and sourcing from farming cooperatives as much as possible.
