Covid Emergency, Climate Emergency: Same Thing

W. Aaron Vandiver / February 8, 2023 / Government, Law, Policy, Society / 20 minute read

All signs indicate that the U.S. and other world governments want to expand the reach and control of the globalized industrial food system, further concentrating power in the largest Big Food corporations. Governments around the world are using environmental goals to forcibly shut down small farms as they promote dependence on industrial technologies and factory foods that could make climate change and other environmental problems worse.

An Analysis of the End of the Emergency

Robert Malone / February 7, 2023 / Law, Policy / 15 minute read

The widely distributed and weaponized fearporn which has driven the gross over-reaction of governments and their citizens (all over the world) was not justified. In retrospect, the global COVIDcrisis agenda and response which has devastated global economies, enabled a massive upwards transfer of wealth, and has been exploited to justify imposition of “The Great Reset” globalist agenda items cannot be justified as a credible and effective “public health” response.

Shouting Covid in a Crowded Theater

William Spruance / February 6, 2023 / Law, Media / 12 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The Covid Leviathan stripped Americans of their First Amendment rights and divided them as well. Bureaucrats worked to stifle journalists who reported on inconvenient facts, President Biden attacked his own citizens as unpatriotic, and Anthony Fauci coordinated attacks against scientists who dared to challenge his authority.

Pfizer: Sales Before Child Safety

Molly Kingsley / February 3, 2023 / Law, Media, Vaccines / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

This case, and the apparent impunity that companies such as Pfizer appear to enjoy, serve as evidence that the system of oversight for Pharma in the UK is hopelessly outdated and that the regulatory authorities are risibly ill-equipped to keep powerful, hugely well-resourced corporate groups in check. The regulatory system for Big Pharma is not fit for purpose; so it is time for a rethink.

How Government and Big Tech Colluded to Usurp Constitutional rights

William Spruance / February 1, 2023 / Government, Law / 12 minute read

Not only did the government turn its capability on the American people, but it recruited the most powerful information companies in the history of the world to advance its agenda, leaving American citizens poorer, stripped of their rights, and left with no place to hide.

Amendments to WHO’s International Health Regulations: An Annotated Guide

David Bell / February 1, 2023 / Economics, Government, Law, Policy, Public Health / 37 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The amendments to the IHR are intended to fundamentally change the relationship between individuals, their country’s governments, and the WHO. They place the WHO as having rights overriding that of individuals, erasing the basic principles developed after World War Two regarding human rights and the sovereignty of States. In doing so, they signal a return to a colonialist and feudalist approach fundamentally different to that to which people in relatively democratic countries have become accustomed. The lack of major pushback by politicians and the lack of concern in the media and consequent ignorance of the general public is therefore both strange and alarming.

Blindsight Is 2020

Gabrielle Bauer / January 30, 2023 / Law, Public Health / 5 minute read

Epidemiologists can do epidemiology. Public health experts can do public health. But none of these experts can do society or human nature any better than intellectuals from other disciplines or even “ordinary people.” No scientist has the legal or moral authority to tell someone they can’t sit next to a parent on their deathbed.

The WHO: Our New Overlords

John Mac Ghlionn / January 19, 2023 / Law, Policy / 4 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Although COVID-19 is now a distant memory for many, another pandemic, we’re told, is just around the corner. When it comes, the WHO may very well be in a position to order you, dear reader, to do exactly what it wants, when it wants. If these amendments are made in May, resistance may prove to be utterly futile.

The Censorious Scott Gottlieb Was a Major Influence on Lockdowns

Jeffrey A. Tucker / January 9, 2023 / Law, Media / 5 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The person and role of Gottlieb is a paradigmatic case of why and how solving the mysteries of the lockdowns and mandates is such a complicated undertaking. It’s not just about government intervention and it’s not just about private corruption. It’s about a complicated relationship between the two, involving a range of public and private actors in and out of government who seized control of the policy machinery to achieve private ends at enormous public expense.

End These Travel Restrictions Now

Jeffrey A. Tucker / January 6, 2023 / Law, Policy, Vaccines / 8 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We are turning back the clock: away from high civilization to a much lower form without a solid guarantee of even the freedom to travel, while giving up the dream of universal human rights. Confidence in a better world with more human connection is being replaced by isolation, fear, and compliance as guiding principles. The price will be very high.
