[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
Since its confused retreat from Afghanistan, the Biden administration has spent more time trying to shut down the David Horowitz Freedom Center than fighting Al Qaeda.
While Freedom Center Investigates has documented multiple cases of terrorists benefiting from nonprofit status, the IRS ignores and continues to pursue the Center’s nonprofit status.
Five years should have been more than enough to decide the issue one way or another, but instead we have been left suspended in a state of permanent investigation because while there’s no basis for shutting us down, bleeding us from a thousand cuts makes it harder for the Freedom Center to do our work, to raise money and to keep holding the Left accountable.
Five years is a long time. It’s the statute of limitations for most federal crimes. But the only thing we were ever accused of was providing a forum for political opinions the government didn’t like.
And that’s not a crime. Unless the government succeeds in making it one.
The government accused the Freedom Center of ‘electioneering’ because we had criticized Hillary Clinton. Compared to what happened to some Hillary critics, we probably got off lightly with a 5-year investigation. And we haven’t stopped criticizing Hillary (we have two recent articles about her, including an investigative piece that traced her organization to funding for attacks on art around the world and even on the Constitution at the National Archives).
But the perpetual investigation, which has been covered by the Daily Wire and other conservative media outlets, has become a disturbing feature of life and not just for us.
Since the last presidential election, hundreds of people, from Trump on down, have been dragged through legal proceedings for their political activism based on distorted laws, newly invented charges and abuses of process reminiscent of Franz Kafka’s The Trial. And even though we are journalists and were not active in the election, we are still being subjected to an endless process because of the reporting and opinion pieces we ran in the 2016 election.
The 2024 election is almost here and we’re being persecuted for journalism from 8 years ago.
How long can this go on? Unlike Josef K, the protagonist of The Trial, we refuse to let it define us. We’ve cut costs and refocused on our journalism because it’s what the government fears.
Unlike The Trial, we know that there’s nothing irrational or coincidental about what we’re going through. Our investigations of the IRS and weaponized nonprofits have made it all too clear that the government calculatedly turns a blind eye to nonprofits that electioneer and act as voter turnout operations for the regime. Those investigations have only made us a bigger target.
The five years of the government trying to shut us down has become a badge of honor.
When we uncovered a letter by the former IRS Chief of Exempt Organizations, a crony of the infamous Lois Lerner best known from the Obama’s Tea Party targeting scandal, denouncing the Freedom Center and Front Page Magazine because according to him our articles, including one about the Paris Climate Accord, were not “sufficiently full and fair”, it was a validation of our work.
This is not about anything except the fact that the government fears our reporting.
What are they afraid of? In the 5 years since the government has been investigating us, we exposed the terrorist sympathies of Biden administration appointees, the fundraising links between Antifa and the DNC, the intersections between cryptocurrency, terror money and smuggled gold bars of the Biden family, and the relaunch of the Clinton Global Initiative.
And that’s just a small sampling of the investigative journalism that we do on a regular basis.
We have conducted deep dives into the Chinese business ties of the Biden family in our new digital pamphlet, Beijing Biden: The Secret Relationship With China That Threatens America, and we have another coming on the Islamic connections in this administration. That’s not because we’re ‘electioneering’ but because we’re engaging in investigative journalism that explores the conduct and misconduct of those in power.
And the government would rather that we didn’t.
After 5 years and legal expenses of over $600,000, the Freedom Center has struggled, but we know that there are others in prison who are far worse off than we are. If the IRS thought that subjecting us to an indefinite investigation would cause us to rethink our convictions or fall apart, the organization’s politicized figures had underestimated us and this country.
Instead of folding, as some other groups in our position might have, we investigated the government and came away with shocking revelations about the enemy nations, foreign and domestic terrorists, pedophiles and every kind of abusive entity being harbored by the IRS.
Those are not places we would have even looked if we had not been targeted in the first place.
Last month, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyoming) quoted our work at a congressional hearing to Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“I actually think that Daniel Greenfield, a contributor to Front Page Magazine, may have said it best when he said that a justice system can survive those who challenge the prosecutors, but it can’t survive those who prosecute the challengers which is kind of the situation with the Biden administration.”
We have challenged and we have been prosecuted. And it is important for Attorney General Garland all those in power to know that we are going to continue investigating those in power.
Despite being targeted for our criticism of Hillary, Front Page Magazine has outlived her political career. And of many others. We’re not about to be intimidated into stopping. Not now. Or ever.
That’s what they’re so afraid of. They’re afraid of us. And they’re afraid of you.

Franz Kafka’s The Trial was the most true to life book I ever read.
Add Kafka to The List of brilliant, self-proclaimed socialist literary heroes that FPM likes to appropriate as one of its own. Provide me with a great right-wing literary hero: I’ll listen and read the entire thing. Ezra Pound could be a good start
Its quite plain to see the UN/Globalists have Dark Secrets their trying to hide from us like Open Borders Civilian Disarmament Climate Change and the UN/Globalists plans for aa Global Government all under the UN’s Control and Enforced by their Blue Helmets
FPM is thinking friendly.
It’s morality friendly.
It’s common sense friendly.
It’s fact friendly.
It’s sanity friendly.
It’s American freedom friendly.
It’s reader friendly, comment and reply friendly.
It’s certainly freedom of expression friendly.
It’s also optimism friendly.
It’s future friendly.
Thank you!
they have done a number on orange man bad and as he said they are ” coming after you ” . its only going to get worse . this era is marked by what the bible calls ” lawlessness ” and it is the precursor to the 7 year tribulation and the lawless one 2 thess. ch.2 v 7- 12 . be afraid , very afraid .
Thank you all, you were, and are, a beacon of hope during the past four years.
Thank you Daniel (and all the FPM folks) for being a lighthouse of truth in a sea of evil doers…and therein lies the rub, doesn’t it?
Trump isn’t the only one dealing with socialist lawfare, and with their unlimited resources, the “death by a thousand cuts” result is by design. I’m thankful Front Page Mag has been able to stave off the onslaught.
There’s a great old meme that shows a WWII bomber dropping it’s payload in a sea of flak fire that states: “You never take flak unless you’re over the target”, so if it’s any consolation, your truth ‘bombs’ are obviously having an impact.
May you never run out of ammo. It’s our job as readers to ensure you always have a delivery system.
If only I had an extra ten grand lying around…:it would be all yours, FPM. You truly give us hope. May all those who are able, give as much as possible. We cannot let you down. Voices of reason are so rare these days. We cannot allow you to fail
Keep up the great work !
The Left and the Demorats are afraid of any glimmer of freedom that happens to get through the glop of propaganda and gaslighting that these low rent scumbags put out.
I hope the end is near for them.
When the criminals and terrorists infiltrate the government, the first thing they suppress is the truth and the facts.
They must hide their true intentions, and on top of that pretend to be victims. That’s only phase one though. Once they gain ultimate power, they won’t hide anything anymore, they’ll just lay out obey or die sharia laws.
Five years and over $600,000? Damn, that’s a lot of persecution to withstand. I’m sure all us readers appreciate what you’ve done and empathize with what you’re going through, except for a few trolls like Dickporn.
Five years means the illegal persecution by the IRS started when Trump was President. That’s disturbing. I know he and Don Jr read this site sometimes and I bet Eric and Lara do, too.
We’re all praying that Trump overcomes the Dirtbagocrat and probably CCP cheating this time around and comes back but I’ll say a prayer that he helps the Freedom Center out if he does. I don’t know if it’ll help but it can’t hurt.
Another thing I was thinking about this morning, these legal things can hang over your head for years without anything happening, causing anxiety the whole time.
“Is it possible to change the direction of a culture without first experiencing disaster?”
“If you really wanted to go back to freedom, or rather, to go forward, it can be done. It can still be done.
It can be done up to the moment when you have censorship. When and if you should have censorship of the press and of speech, then, nothing can be won without violence. But so long as you have free speech, you better protect it. And this will be the fitting last answer to a company predominantly of journalists. The life and death issue in this country — give up everything if you have to but don’t give up the freedom of the press and that includes newspapers and books, and magazines, and radios, and television, and movies, and every form of ideas.
So long as that’s free, any intellectual [change] is possible PEACEFULLY.
Once you can’t speak then nothing is possible except by FORCE.
Fight for the freedom of the press, and anything is possible. Without it, nothing, except the dark ages and violence.” – Ayn Rand
The only disaster would be giving in to totalitarian Objectivism with everyone sitting around wondering if they are being Rationally selfish.
By the way, time was not exactly kind to the old woman.
Yeah, Rand was fugly. all my girls except one are slutty whores but at least they’re good looking. Life is too short to fuck ugly chicks. I did fuck a cross eyed one when I was drunk, though. What can I say. I’m far from perfect and I had on some beer (vodka) goggles that night. She wants to “transition” from Natalie to Nate, too but she still went all out for me. I may be old but for some weird reason I’ve still got it.
It’s so obvious what the government fears. They fear the truth. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Thank you for continuing to do what you do. Some of the most shocking revelations of the Biden Administration has come from Front Page Mag and I fear for investigative journalism if the government succeeds at their “divide and conquer” strategy. Without real journalism, we’ve taken a step into becoming North Korea and a *lot* of people are going to be hurt and killed to keep the truth hidden. God forbid.
I need to catch my breath. Yes, “instead of folding” you have held your years of persecution as a “badge of honor.” Please continue showcasing this rarely displayed courage.
Those quietly enduing the Kafkaesque can take heart and treat as badges of honor:
— rolling-pin-to-the-head baking lessons, and
— involuntary membership in the “Pinata-Of-The-Month-Club.”.
Ban all mosques and deport the criminal invaders.
Here’s a man SUING NON-PROFITS for aiding and abetting HAMAS! TIME FOR ACTION by the FBI, DHS, DOJ! Investigate CAIR, Professors/Columbia, Code Pink/CPUSA, and Imams and head of Islamic Centers like here in NM headed by Ahmad Assed who organized a protest in support of HAMAS a decade ago, which was an open rare admission to supporting a TERRORIST GROUP! Go after JOSEPH MASSAD, ’80s classmate of Assed here at UNM!

Other nations have been destroyed from leaders lieing too. Hitler always remarked about the remarkable power of lieing and that was obvious after the holocaust. Gert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Right Wing Party for Freedom says If Israel falls, the West falls. Europe is Islam’s last stand.
Gert Wilders leader of the Dutch Right Wing Party for Freedom says, “If Israel falls, the West Falls. Other obvious truths are that The UNs Guterres seems to coddle Iran and it appears the UN credibility is dying. Europe is Islam’s last stand.
I thank God for Your work.
May God bless You abuntantly!
