It Leaked From a US-Backed Lab
It Leaked From a US-Backed Lab For The New York Times, which started this whole fiasco dating from Feb. 27, 2020, with a podcast designed to drum up disease panic, it’s been a drip, drip, drip of truthiness ever since. A fortnight ago, the paper finally decided to report on vaccine injury from shots that […]
What Really Happened: Lockdown Until Vaccination
What Really Happened: Lockdown Until Vaccination “…in April of 2020, I got a call from Rajeev Venkayya…he told me on the phone to stop writing about lockdowns…” Four years later, many people are investigating how our lives were completely upended by a pandemic response. Over my time on the case, I’ve heard countless theories. It […]
The Trouble With World Government
The Trouble With World Government Well, at least that’s one setback for world government. A court in Australia has told the government’s own eSafety Commission that Elon Musk is correct: One country cannot impose censorship on the world. The company X, formerly known as Twitter, must obey national law but not global law. Mr. Musk […]
The Proof of Censorship is…Censored
The Proof of Censorship is…Censored It’s not been a good week for the Censorship Industrial Complex. The machine has been built and put into action over nearly a decade but largely in secret. Its way of doing business has been via surreptitious contacts with media and tech companies, intelligence carve-outs in “fact-checking” organizations, payoffs, and […]
Money Is a Monopoly Government Will Never Surrender
Money Is a Monopoly Government Will Never Surrender A major intellectual revelation from my youth came from reading Murray Rothbard’s “What Has Government Done to Our Money?” (1963). He includes a passing opinion that private markets are perfectly capable of producing money with no help from government. Under a sweeping monetary reform, private mints could […]
Did Lockdowns Set a Global Revolt in Motion?
Did Lockdowns Set a Global Revolt in Motion? “The intellectual parlor game is over. This is a real-life struggle for freedom itself. It’s resist and rebuild or doom.” My first article on the coming backlash – admittedly wildly optimistic – went to print April 24, 2020. After 6 weeks of lockdown, I confidently predicted a political revolt, a movement […]
The Censorship Began Earlier and Went Further Than We Thought
The Censorship Began Earlier and Went Further Than We Thought There was some sense in the air in the spring of 2020 that many things were not quite normal. Here we had most governments in the world locking down their populations with extreme policies, wrecking economies and long-settled traditions of rights and liberties, while fake […]
The Psychological Pain of Inflation
The Psychological Pain of Inflation The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tomorrow morning will report its Consumer Price data from October. The Producer Price Index (PPI) appears the following day. There will likely be no real surprise here: inflation will still be running hot around 3.7 percent, confirming what I and many have suspected. Inflation […]
‘Gaslighting’ Is the Word of the Year for Good Reason
Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman in “Gaslight” (1944). (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.) ‘Gaslighting’ Is the Word of the Year for Good Reason Every year, Merriam-Webster picks a word to capture the culture of a moment in time. The choice is based on the frequency and quantity of searches as well as the departure from the norm. This […]
Name the State
Name the State The number one problem of all public debate about politics and economics is the failure to name the state. If this would change, so would public opinion. There is no shortage of examples. People talk about health care for all, solving climate change, providing security in old age, universal educational access, boosting […]
Your Recycling Might Be Poisoning Poor Communities
Your Recycling Might Be Poisoning Poor Communities You know the routine, which has become a required liturgical rubric of the American civic religion. You separate your trash: plastics here, glass here, cans here, papers here. Doing so is our little way of showing we care about the environment. Not doing so – let’s just say […]
Fed Official Decries Bitcoin as “Not Backed”
Fed Official Decries Bitcoin as “Not Backed” Bitcoin is backed by the use value of the distributed ledger in the underlying technology of the Blockchain. Randal K. Quarles, a Trump administration appointee to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and Vice Chair for bank supervision, has given a lengthy speech (“Thoughts on Prudent Innovation in […]
Goodbye Net Neutrality; Hello Competition
Goodbye Net Neutrality; Hello Competition We should take our deregulation where we can get it. At long last, with the end of “net neutrality,” competition could soon come to the industry that delivers Internet services to you. You might be able to pick among a range of packages, some minimalist and some maximalist, depending […]
Why We Love Farmers Markets
Why We Love Farmers Markets They are relatively free of federal regulation, and that’s what makes them great. Almost every small and medium-sized town has what are called farmers markets. We love them. Some are seasonal. Some open only on weekends. People shops under tents and pay vendors cash. It’s all very charming, a nice […]
The Great Deficit Ruse
The Great Deficit Ruse Your intuition is right: tax cuts are good and tax increases are bad. If your profligate friend blew his budget on liquor, you might feel bad for him. But it’s unlikely that you would be willing to fork over money to cover his mistake. He needs to figure it out. And […]
