On the other side of the fourth wall, the confrontation between Lawson and Doc Tracy, played by former UCLA anesthesiologist, Dr. Christopher Rake, took place on December 6, 2021. Two days later on December 8, Lawson took to Twitter to condemn Rake and the medical freedom organization that produced the show, America’s Frontline Doctors, then went on a media blitz the following week, making appearances on CNN and MSNBC to characterize the confrontation as an attempt to intimidate and terrorize.

Both the U.S. and China clearly knew about the virus earlier than they have admitted and both are still engaged in a cover-up of what really happened and what they knew.

Myocarditis Misinformation From “Trusted Sources”

Paul Bourdon / November 22, 2022 / Vaccines / 18 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In the long run, COVID-19 vaccination provides little or no protection from infection. Thus, an analysis of risks versus benefits of vaccination must assess to what extent will vaccination reduce the number of infections a vaccinated person will experience and to what extent, if any, will vaccination reduce the incidence and/or severity of adverse outcomes associated with infections.

Western Australia’s Dormant Police State

Rebekah Barnett / November 21, 2022 / Law, Society / 5 minute read

For the time being, the police state lies dormant. The SoE has expired, and we have returned to some kind of nanny-state normal. However, the police state infrastructure is in place, and can be engaged at any time should the Premier and his Police Commissioner think it reasonable and necessary. Whatever that means.

The Deification of Mathematical Modeling

Rev. John F. Naugle / November 21, 2022 / Philosophy / 5 minute read

These weren’t prophets warning us about the future. They were profiteering charlatans who knew what they were paid to predict. Their training taught them that this was utter statistical malpractice but not one of them objected as to how their work was being used. It was produced to be propaganda and they were happy to please their benefactors.

From Covid to CBDC: The Path to Full Control

Josh Stylman / November 21, 2022 / Economics / 6 minute read

Every indication is that CBDC’s arrival is imminent. Yesterday, several global banks announced a partnership with the NY Federal Reserve to pilot digital dollars. Given the ubiquity of credit/debit cards, payment apps, and other online payment systems, digital money has been bound to happen for some time. The risk isn’t the electronic part, that’s inevitable – it’s the fact that a central bank will oversee the digital currency.

The Importance of Remembering

Mainstream media outlets will not even touch them because they go against the narrative that all of the governments’ measures were right and necessary to protect people from the dangers of Covid. That leads me to wonder, how can we enable opposing voices to be heard by a wider audience?

Technocracy and Totalitarianism

Aaron Kheriaty / November 19, 2022 / Society, Technology / 10 minute read

States as instruments of world-spanning corporations, which operate like fiefdoms, is an apt definition of corporatism—the melding of state and corporate power—which coincides perfectly with Mussolini’s original definition of fascism.

Sam Bankman-Fried and the Pandemic Industrial Complex

From the earning of the money, to the donating of the money, to the positive press coverage, to the policies the process funded, at no point was there any good intent or positive outcome to any of it. The entire operation was pure, unadulterated evil.

Three Medical Policies that Need Immediate Changing

Pierre Kory / November 18, 2022 / Public Health / 4 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

One thing most people can agree on: COVID-19 won’t be the last public health emergency. There are already concerning headlines about an early spike of R.S.V. impacting children. The leaders of captured health agencies must learn from their mistake of allowing the pharmaceutical industry unimpeded control of pandemic health policy. Americans are incredibly forgiving people willing to show grace, but step one in that process is a willingness for those in charge to admit their mistakes.

The Covid/Crypto Connection: The Grim Saga of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried

The rest of us are left with the bill for this obvious scam that implausibly links crypto and Covid. But just as the money was based on nothing but puffed air, the damage they have wrought on the world is all too real: a lost generation of kids, declined lifespans, millions missing from the workforce, a calamitous fall in public health, millions of kids in poverty due to supply-chain breakages, 19 straight months of falling real incomes, historically high increases in debt, and a dramatic fall in human morale the world over.

Tribunals Would Introduce Dangers of their Own

The danger is too great that a government agency or commission empowered to sit in judgment over individuals who were in office during the two years starting in March 2020 will abuse its power. The risk is too high that the pursuit of justice will descend into a hunt for revenge. No such agency or commission will act with the requisite objectivity to make its decisions just.
