The Painless Extinction of Formerly Free Australia 

The Painless Extinction of Formerly Free Australia 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

We are about to find out whether the frogs really boil to oblivion, or whether they recognize the water is scalding and make the effort to leap to freedom – even risking a fall and injury in the process. After all, standing against tyrants was never actually supposed to be safe. The water is quite hot. It is not the experiment as I imagined it to be, but we are soon to find the answer.

There is Yet Hope for the Beauty of Cities

There is Yet Hope for the Beauty of Cities

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Go take some action to strengthen your neighborhood, your local culture. Go chat with someone on the street that social media and leaders tells you is unknowable. Make a meal for friends and neighbors. Refuse to be hypnotized. You are thus unmaking your own chains. They can only enslave us if we let them.

Europe's New Digital Identity Wallet: Security or Tyranny?

Europe’s New Digital Identity Wallet: Security or Tyranny?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Obviously, advocates of a European digital ID will publicly claim they are only interested in promoting the security of our transactions and protecting our privacy. But since these are the very same people who dare to claim that medical segregation and coercion via vaccine passports “reassures us of (the) spirit of an open Europe, a Europe without barriers,” their assurances regarding citizens’ privacy and liberties have no credibility whatsoever.

Flagellantism Is the New Political Ritual 

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

It’s not just about eating bugs. It’s about a whole theory and practice of life and salvation itself, a new religion to replace all the old ones. Cough up your government-issued ID, send your package if you must, think twice before complaining about anything on social media, and figure out a way to channel your depression and despair into quiet humble gratitude and acquiescence., Don’t forget to recycle. The flagellants have taken over the world.

What is the Measure of True Freedom?

What is the Measure of True Freedom?

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

The measure of freedom in any society is the degree of inclusion for those who stand on the margins, those who linger on the edge, and those who suffer in silence. The potential and eventual realisation of inclusion is evidence of a free society, of genuine enfranchisement for all who seek it. Good rulers take care of those who come under their authority, including those parties on the losing side of military conflicts. Freedom is not achieved by overturning the results of conflict, revising the past, or instilling guilt and shame on the victors.

Critics Cast Doubt on Dr. Drosten’s Doctorate

Critics Cast Doubt on Dr. Drosten’s Doctorate

SHARE | PRINT | EMAIL

Drosten is the chair of the virology department at the prestigious Charité university teaching hospital in Berlin – which, incidentally, hosts and organises the annual World Health Summit on behalf of the German government. But how many outside of Germany know that serious doubts have been raised about Drosten’s own qualifications and the validity of his own degree?
