Humanity Must Move Beyond Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
FUD first brought about by a crisis in health, cascaded into loss of faith in government, in the people around us and sometimes in ourselves. Three years is too long a time for FUD to be considered a crisis, but when a crisis is not resolved, loss of hope is the outcome. Many people have lost work, friends, health and even their lives as a result.

The Post-Ideological Age
What is needed is a paradigm that transcends the tribal alliances of the past. It is the ruling elite vs. everyone else, an outlook that blows apart ideological divisions of the past and cries out for new plans of action.

How I Was Canceled by MeetUp.com
I created a Meetup group called “Covid Contrarians” in New York City. The idea was just to meet other people like me, who thought our governments were overreacting to the Covid situation.

While public officials touted party lines, a more insidious censorship operation worked to eradicate dissent from the marketplace of ideas. As Judge Terry Doughty wrote, Covid censorship sparked arguably “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.”
