The truth will out.
Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr, via LewRockwell.com People are focused on the Ukraine. It’s important that we keep America out of this dangerous situation and end the immoral and futile sanctions against Russia. These have a real danger of provoking a nuclear war. But we shouldn’t forget another danger. This is a danger that actually has […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute Certain dates should live in infamy. One is March 7, 2020. That is the date that the Austin, Texas, Mayor, Steve Adler, acting on his own at least in public, canceled the in-person conference South By Southwest (possibly attracting as many as a quarter million people) that was […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute When I was a kid — and the same with my parents when they were young — you could count on certain fundamentals in politics.

Peterson When thousands of truckers drove toward Ottawa in protest against the vaccine mandates, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described them as “the small fringe minority” holding “unacceptable views.” As the […]
by Brown University Graduate Student via Brownstone Institute It has been two years since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. School closures and mask mandates are still everywhere, despite more and more data showing that they don’t work at all [1,3,5,6,25,26,31,34,35]. Experts have urged governments to keep schools open and are opposed to booster mandates […]
by Matteo Salonia via Mises.org The news from Italy has started to sound like good incipits for a dystopian fantasy novel or like a déjà vu recalling the Soviet Union. A couple of weeks ago, a new decree of the Draghi government established yet more rules restricting the lives of people who have not been injected with the […]
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. via LewRockwell.com Lockdowns and mask mandates have caused an upheaval in our economy and ruined the quality of life for many people. They don’t work against Covid, and not only are vaccines a failure but they have killed a large number of people. Governments around the world are using these […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute If there is a historical precedent for the truckers’ revolt in Canada, and the populist protests in so many other parts of the world, I would like to know what it is. It surely sets the record for convoy size, and it is historic for Canada. But there […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute By long American tradition, protest movements manifest themselves most fully in gatherings in Washington, D.C, starting at the Washington Monument and culminating in speeches at the Lincoln Memorial. At long last, after two years of astonishing attacks on fundamental rights that most everyone once believed were protected by […]
by Frank Shostak via Mises Institute Some commentators attribute the latest sharp increase in the Consumer Price Index to businesses pushing prices of goods higher in order to secure higher profits. (See the New York Times article “Democrats Blast Corporate Profits as Inflation Surges,” January 3, 2022). Note that the yearly growth rate of the Consumer Price […]
by Ryan McMaken via Mises Institute Last month, Colorado governor Jared Polis ended statewide mask mandates and social-distancing provisions, stating that “the emergency is over.“ This, of course, does not mean Colorado is now laissez-fairein terms of covid. Public higher education institutions—thanks to Polis’ tacit approval—still have free rein in terms of imposing vaccine and mask […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY-AT-A-GLANCE Children have, by far, the lowest risk for serious COVID-19 infection; COVID policies have therefore had an outsized impact on children and teens Suicide attempts among girls rose 51% in 2021 Between 2019 and 2020, adolescent overdose mortality rose from 2.35 per 100,000 to 4.58 per 100,000, a 94.3% increase […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute It’s been the most astonishing two weeks for American public life, with so many prescient changes, from new censorships, admissions, backtracks, experts speaking out, public outrage, and what strikes me as a progressive unraveling of every orthodoxy imposed nearly two years ago. Not even the influential and powerful […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker Is that the sound of normalcy I’m hearing out there? Ever more authors and sources admitting that the virus is a medical problem that cannot be addressed or solved through politicized “mitigation measures.” This is what I’m reading between the lines of such news stories as this one: Early in the […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY-AT-A-GLANCE The Dr. Oz Show, now in its 13th season, is slated to end January 14, 2022, because Oz is running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania Oz has been criticized during the pandemic for several controversial statements that go against the official narrative Oz stated that Anthony Fauci should be held […]
by Ron Paul via RonPaul Institute Just as President Biden’s unconstitutional vaccination mandates were being ripped up by the courts, authoritarian politicians, public health bureaucrats, and the mainstream media, announced a new Covid variant to justify another round of lockdowns and restrictions. The things that didn’t work last time would be a good idea to […]
by Phillip Magness and James Harrigan via American Institute for Economic Research From October 2-4, 2020, the American Institute for Economic Research hosted a small conference for scientists to discuss the Covid-19 lockdowns. Just four days later, Dr. Francis Collins, the retiring Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), would call the three of […]
by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute It’s a good call for Time Magazine: it made Elon Musk the person of the year. It’s actually even a remarkable call, and a great omen. Musk is arguably the most prominent opponent of lockdowns and vaccine mandates in the US. In his official interview, he refused to take back […]
by CJ Hopkins via the Consent Factory And so, as 2021 goose-steps toward its fanatical finish, it is time for my traditional year-end wrap-up. It’s “The Year of the Ox” in the Chinese zodiac, but I’m christening it “The Year of the New Normal Fascist.” And what a phenomenally fascist year it has been! I’m […]
Katharina Buchholz at Statista notes, Economic recovery following the lockdown era of the coronavirus pandemic has caused the price of goods and services to rise since the start of 2021 in many developed nations. Consumers catching up on spending coupled with persistent stock problems have created a climate of scarcity as pandemic effects continue to […]
by Dr. Joseph Mercola STORY-AT-A-GLANCE A psychological condition of society known as “mass formation” is a condition for totalitarianism. Under mass formation, a population willingly sacrifices their freedom The central condition for mass formation to occur is a lack of societal bonding. In other words, social isolation on a mass scale, which is precisely what […]
by Steve Berger via LewRockwell.com “The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them again in our lifetime.” Sir Edward Grey, 1914 “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

by Jeffrey A. Tucker via Brownstone Institute Early in the pandemic, I had been furiously writing articles about lockdowns. My phone rang with a call from a man named Dr. Rajeev Venkayya. He is the head of a vaccine company but introduced himself as former head of pandemic policy for the Gates Foundation. Now I […]
by Jeffrey Tucker Brownstone Institute In the simple model of tyranny we learned as school kids, there is a bad guy on top, or perhaps several because he needs advisors, and then there is everyone else suffering under his yoke. The job of freedom is to overthrow the powerful bad guy and set everyone free. […]
written by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute It’s now been more than eighteen months since governments began the new social experiment now known as “lockdowns.” Prior to 2020, forced “social distancing” was generally considered to be too costly in societal terms to justify such a risky experiment. Yet in 2020, led by health technocrats at […]
