The Joker – A Premonition

Jeffrey A. Tucker / January 19, 2022 / Media, Psychology, Society / 7 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The Joker is not just one man, not just a crazy person, but the instantiation of the insane and morbid dangers associated with persistent personal failure backed by a conviction that when there is a fundamental conflict between a vision and reality, it can only be solved by the creation of chaos and suffering. As unpleasant as it is, The Joker is the movie we needed to see to understand and then prepare for the horrors that this unchecked mentality can and did unleash on the world.

His very public deportation will hopefully get many people thinking about his approach to health, which if widely understood and adopted, will finally burn the Covid Regime to the ground — once and for all.

The Artless Partisans of Lockdowns and Mandates

In fact, the great intellectual thought emerging from our times is coming from those opposing vaccine mandates and Covid fearmongering. These names run across the political spectrum, but those from the left are universally categorized by liberals as being “alt-right” or “fringe libertarian,” ensuring that they remain marginalized and carry whatever stigma goes along with being relegated to the internet.

Ehud Qimron’s Powerful Letter to the Israeli Ministry of Health

Brownstone Institute / January 12, 2022 / Media, Philosophy, Policy / 5 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

“When you compare the destructive policies you are pursuing with the sane policies of some other countries — you can clearly see that the destruction you have caused has only added victims beyond the vulnerable to the virus. The economy you ruined, the unemployed you caused, and the children whose education you destroyed — they are the surplus victims as a result of your own actions only.”

Songbird: The Dystopian Film that Became Real

Jeffrey A. Tucker / January 11, 2022 / Media, Public Health, Society / 9 minute read

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

These seemingly scientific slogans – flatten the curve, slow the spread, socially distance, track-and-trace – mask deeply dangerous policy ideas that can ruin life for everyone, and utterly destroy health and human liberty itself. The film is right: pandemic controls are an existential threat.

Are We Really Expected to Believe this China Covid Data?

China’s COVID success is a farce. The CCP’s “zero COVID” approach carries zero credibility.

Patriotic Duty My Eye

As it happens, however, America has already done nearly 800 million tests, yet has some of the worst WITH-Covid mortality statistics in the western world. So we are at a complete loss to comprehend how more government-mediated “testing” will accomplish anything constructive.

This war on dissent is not only a scandal of our times. The lockdowns and now the mandates have fundamentally transformed society and its relationship to government, technology, media, and much more. The emergency continues.

Am I Detecting a Shift at the New York Times?

Jeffrey A. Tucker / December 12, 2021 / Media / 8 minute read

Reading the New York Times has always required a decoder ring. What this editorial tells me is that the ruling class that did this to this country and the world knows that it is on the losing side of history. They are scrambling fast to dial it back while preserving what they can of their dignity and credibility, both of which are mostly shot.

A Medical News Site and Its Misinformation

Martin Kulldorff,

Jayanta Bhattacharya / December 4, 2021 / Media, Public Health / 4 minute read

The first step should be to correct errors, a minimal obligation of all ethical journalism. A second step requires more balanced reporting about the pandemic by, for example, honestly reporting about the success of the pandemic strategies employed by Florida and the Scandinavian countries. The alternative is a continuing erosion of trust in medicine and public health.

Is YouTube Now Presuming to be in Charge of Science?

If these rules are strenuously enforced, millions of videos, interviews, television shows, lectures, press conferences, and scientific presentations will disappear. Maybe tens of millions actually. And all in the name of protecting “science” against its corruption, as if YouTube should be the determinant of what constitutes good science.
