Sam Bankman-Fried and the Missing Billions for Pandemic Planning

Jeffrey A. Tucker / December 7, 2022 / Economics / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The display was disgusting but entirely predictable if you understand something about how our own hunger games are played. In this decade and a half of easy money, a whole class of people has risen to the top of the cultural echelon not by productive labor but by educational credentials and being part of the corporate float. They have come to believe that the system makes sense simply because it has benefited them. This is why they so gladly took to pandemic controls when they were at their height.

First Thoughts on the Fauci Deposition

Justin Hart / December 6, 2022 / Law / 2 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We had already heard tidbits about his deposition from lawyers involved and the key takeaway was evident throughout the transcript – Dr. Fauci has a terrible memory or he is hiding WHAT he knew. He used the phrase “I don’t recall” fully 178 times.

What the US Can Learn From Elections in India

Ramesh Thakur / December 6, 2022 / Policy / 7 minute read

A Rasmussen poll near the end of September found that 84 percent of Americans expressed concern about election integrity in the imminent congressional elections. By a 62-36 majority, they held eliminating “cheating in elections” to be more important than “making it easier for everyone to vote.”

How the EU Killed Elon Musk’s Twitter “Amnesty”

Robert Kogon / December 6, 2022 / Media, Technology / 3 minute read

Note that Breton’s tweet and the introductory post to his Mastodon thread both indeed call on Musk to “significantly reinforce content moderation,” thus making clear that the Commission not only disapproves of the prospect of banned accounts being restored, but also of the relatively more laissez-faire attitude that Musk has thus far adopted toward current users.

The Memory-Holed Samoan Lockdown of December 2019

Paula Jardine / December 5, 2022 / History / 9 minute read

If you’re inclined to be of a suspicious nature, the fact that the Samoan lockdown was happening as the NIAID and Moderna were preparing to send a jointly owned prototype of a coronavirus vaccine to Dr Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill might just lead you to suspect it was a trial run. If timing was no more than a coincidence, it will certainly have provided useful lessons as the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI) folks began lobbying for Covid lockdowns in Wuhan’s wake.

The Absurdity of Lockdowners Who Support China’s Anti-Lockdown Protests

Michael Senger / December 5, 2022 / Media, Policy, Society / 6 minute read

Xi Jinping sees the concepts of democracy and human rights as mere propaganda that western elites use to further their own self-interest. So long as they approve of a policy, then it’s not a human rights violation, but if they oppose it, then it is.

We Need Mass Resignations

Eric Hussey / December 5, 2022 / Philosophy, Policy / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Pick your reason for the current outrage: stupidity, ignorance, or craving for power. Any of those should disqualify these people from serving in any capacity related to or associated with public health. Consideration should also be given to firing those who put these people into positions to cause suffering in those they were ostensibly hired to protect.

The Mysterious Case of Zika-Microcephaly’s Disappearance

Randall Bock / December 4, 2022 / History, Public Health / 20 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In 2015, a viral pandemic from Northeast Brazil exploded into the news, supported by breathless public health alarms that Zika — a flavivirus acknowledged for decades as harmless — was now suddenly responsible for congenital microcephaly (babies with small heads; diminished intellect). Massive panic predictably ensued.

The World Health Organization and Its Holy Days of Obligation

David Livermore / December 3, 2022 / Government, Philosophy, Public Health / 6 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Of all organisations, the WHO, with its calendar of Holy Days as an aide memoire, should have recognised how so many aspects of health and well-being interlock, and how fighting an existential war with one pathogen would impact other priorities. It had a sane and proportionate respiratory pandemic plan in 2019.

How to Save Your Skin, According to Bankman-Fried and Fauci

Jeffrey A. Tucker / December 2, 2022 / Law / 5 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The madness of lockdowns only intensified the problem. They pretended as if wrong is right and ill- health is health, both physically and mentally. We are so used to lies that many people have grown weary of protesting them. We are so beaten down that we can barely demand that people take responsibility for what they have done. And the perpetuators have become skilled at saving their own skin.

Not Even N95 Masks Work To Stop Covid

Fauci and his health authority allies have lied to the public repeatedly about masking. The obsession with credentialism and appeals to authority within the media has resulted in tremendous, unjustified harm.

Canada: A Gruesome, Terrifying Culture of Death

Laura Rosen Cohen / December 1, 2022 / Policy, Public Health, Society / 4 minute read

Trudeau’s demonizing and crushing of the Canadian truckers’ convoy and invoking the Emergency Measures Act against Canadian citizens for daring to dissent with his Corona tyranny, in conjunction with his ridiculous performance on the world stage are all signs of shamelessness, decadence, and deep moral decay.
