They Inch Towards Total Technological Control

Bert Olivier / February 4, 2024 / Philosophy, Society, Technology / 12 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

In a move that casts George Orwell’s 1984 in a distinctly passé light, these well-nigh invisible flying objects will be programmed and used by organisations such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) for population surveillance, to detect so-called ‘thought crimes’ on the part of citizens. Needless to spell out, this will be done with a view to controlling people in a failsafe manner, anticipating supposed ‘criminal’ action before it is committed.

Is Censorship the Biden Era’s Torture Issue?

James Bovard / April 15, 2024 / Censorship, Government / 6 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

When the government heaves the law and Constitution overboard, euphemisms become the coin of the realm. During the Bush era, it wasn’t torture—it was merely “enhanced interrogation” (see Last Rights: The Death of American Liberty – https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B0CP9WF634&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_N9W1GZ337XCCPPHF8D60). Nowadays, the issue is not “censorship”—but merely “content moderation.” And “moderation” is such a virtue that it happened millions of times a year thanks to the feds arm-twisting social media companies, according to federal court decisions.

Capital, Postmodernism, and Left Authoritarianism: The Unholy Alliance

Toby Rogers / July 31, 2023 / Philosophy / 10 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

If we survive the current crisis, it will be because of this new coalition of disaffected Democrats together with evangelical Christians and “small l” libertarians who reject postmodernism, authoritarianism, and fascism and fight with everything we’ve got for freedom, rationality, and common sense.

A Small Town, Lost to Lockdowns and Mandates

Naomi Wolf / November 8, 2022 / History / 13 minute read

When you drive to Millerton, it looks like you are driving into the heart of archetypal America; Psychically, emotionally, there is blood flowing in the streets; and bodies are stacked up, invisible, in front of the candy stores, the high end wine stores, the pretty memorials to the World War Two dead; outside the farmers’ market on Saturdays, outside the tapas bars.

The Culpability of the New York Times: Then and Now

Jeffrey A. Tucker / July 18, 2022 / Media / 12 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The whole sorry episode speaks to a much larger and more entrenched problem: the symbiotic relationship between Big Media and the administrative state. It’s the permanent bureaucracy that serves the journalists’ primary and most credible source material. The higher the journalist or the bureaucrat rises in the profession, the fatter the rolodex grows on both ends. They maintain constant communication, as the FOIA’d emails about the pandemic have repeatedly shown.

A Unifying Theory of Evil

Haley Kynefin / April 3, 2023 / Philosophy / 24 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Many of us can recognize the results of evil intuitively: evil causes vast human suffering; revokes our sense of human dignity; creates an ugly, dystopian, or disharmonic world; destroys beauty and poetry; perpetuates fear, anger, distress and terror; causes torture and bloodshed. Nevertheless, there are always some people who seem to remain ignorant of its presence — or, incredibly, see specific visceral atrocities as justified and even good.

What It Means to Lose Trust

Christine Black / July 10, 2023 / Philosophy / 10 minute read

Competing truths may be difficult and devastating to accept, as we have been enduring in the last few years, but the pain and cognitive dissonance are most certainly survivable, as survivors of childhood sexual abuse and assault survivors can attest. We may even transcend and thrive, be strengthened, and become guides for others.

The New Biosecurity State

Ramesh Thakur / December 22, 2023 / Government, Society, Vaccines / 33 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The danger is that there will be no real bar to them repeating it next time. It’s only if you really punish them. With atrocities we have this notion of command responsibility. You don’t go after the foot soldiers, but you do charge the general or the dictator with atrocity crimes, with crimes against humanity, with ethnic cleansing, and put them in jail. That sends a message.

No, Lockdown Instigators Do Not Deserve the Benefit of the Doubt

Michael Senger / September 22, 2022 / Media, Policy, Society / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The harms that lockdowns would cause were all well-known and reported at the time they were first adopted as policy in early 2020. These included accurate estimates of mass deaths due to delayed medical operations, a mental health crisis, drug overdoses, an economic recession, global poverty, hunger, and starvation.

Is McKinsey & Company Part of the Deep State?

Toby Rogers / August 30, 2023 / Economics, Government / 14 minute read

The administrative state is horrible and it deserves to be called out. The next President can and should cut the administrative state in half (one could do so with no loss in services). But reading When McKinsey Comes to Town I realized that management consultants likely make up a larger share of the deep state than bureaucrats.
