The Meaning of the Cape Byron Lighthouse Declaration

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Since its launch, the declaration has received international attention and signatures from around the world including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, and the US with numbers increasing daily. Healthcare, nor the people it serves, cannot thrive in the presence of censorship, coercion, and unethical behaviour. So, the time has come to remind ourselves, our governments, and our leaders of the core foundations.

Bad Policy Assures a Perpetual Sense of Burning Crisis

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

So yes, this is 100% a political issue, but it’s not the one it’s being represented as. This is a policy fail. That which worked was abandoned for that which sounded good to a few eco-rubes, and now we are all paying the price. Reality is not optional, and ecology denial is a very expensive foible. It’s time we stopped pretending that there are no trade-offs here and begin (once more) doing the sensible thing.

What I Can Say and What I Cannot Say

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Regarding our society’s “debate” on what speech should be “permitted” and what speech should be banned … and what speakers should be sanctioned and punished, “permission” is the word that explains everything. From 2020-2023, some speech is still permitted by our government and its many sycophant cronies, but, alas, libraries worth of speech are now no longer permitted.

Send Them

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The sad impulse to sacrifice others to save ourselves appeared when people stepped up and spoke out during the Covid period. If someone said something that made me look bad or that interfered with my profits or my institution or my company’s profits, then we sacrificed that person. But what if she was right and speaking the truth — or hadn’t done anything wrong? Nope. Didn’t matter. Let her hang. Leave her there.

United States: Fifty Little Dictatorships

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This legal push has received no public attention, and not even Zwieg’s expert journalism seems to have broken through the wall set up by the mainstream media. And that is precisely why anyone concerned about the future needs to get the word out. The efforts toward fundamental regime change are real, threatening, and deeply dangerous to the future of liberty itself.

The Censorship Hegemon Must Be Stopped

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This agency was created in the waning days of the Obama administration, supposedly to protect our digital infrastructure against cyberattacks from computer viruses and nefarious foreign actors. But less than one year into their existence, CISA decided that their remit also should include protecting our “cognitive infrastructure” from various threats.

The Twisted Tree of Mitigation

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The “mitigation” supporters actively, openly hated people, like me, who predicted, in March, 2020, all of the destruction that lockdowns, school closures, masks, tests and shots would cause. This gullible mob of tens of millions dismissed “mitigation” critics as “selfish non-experts” and “Grandma killers.”

Thousands of Averted Covid Deaths in Israel: Science Fiction

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Lockdowns were futile and detrimental, mask mandates were futile, Covid vaccines were marginally beneficial, futile, or worse, and influential studies of vaccine effectiveness contain at least one major flaw, and probably more. These truths will become common knowledge when contemporary, brainwashed Covid scientists are replaced by a new generation of scientists with inquisitive minds.

The Sadism Factor

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

If you have the ability, through your complete control of the government and media matrix to get an obviously mentally incompetent man into the highest office in the most powerful country in the world (while placing another—Fetterman—with similarly limited cognitive capabilities in that same country’s Senate in order to stave off possibly devastating Republican investigations) what can’t you do?

Will FDA Approve OTC Birth Control Pills, Ignoring Medical and Epidemiological Hazards?  

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Existing data indicates that making oral contraceptives available OTC could lead to a deluge of negative public health outcomes. Additionally, oral contraceptive interactions with existing prescription drugs could lead to an increased incidence of unexpected pregnancies and serious adverse events in mothers, babies, and kids.
