Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny Stand Down … So You Can Stand Up Margaret Anna Alice “A few hundred at the top, to plan and direct at every level; a few thousand to supervise and control (without a voice in policy) at every level; a few score thousand specialists (teachers, lawyers, journalists, scientists, artists, actors, athletes, and social workers) eager to serve or at least unwilling to pass up a job or to revolt; a million of the Pöbel, which sounds like ‘people’ and means ‘riffraff,’ to do what we would call the dirty work, ranging from murder, torture, robbery, and arson to the effort which probably employed more Germans in inhumanity than any other in Nazi history, the standing of ‘sentry’ in front of Jewish shops and offices in the boycott of April, 1933.” —Milton Mayer,  They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45  ( paperback ,  Kindle ,  audiobook ) I’m willing to die to defend my liberty. Are you willing to die to take my liberty? No?...

Harvard Epidemiologist Censored by LinkedIn for Defending Healthcare Jobs BY  BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE     LinkedIn distinguished itself in the social-media market for its focus on professionals. The idea was to develop a digital network designed to advance one’s career. The company makes money from advertising but also through an impressive jobs marketplace. You can offer a job or apply for one. It promised to empower the individual worker – admittedly most white collar positions – with choice of employment. To this end, it has added value to professional life.  Now LinkedIn – owned by Microsoft – appears to have joined the censorship brigade, targeting probably many venues but the Brownstone Institute in particular. The timing is particularly awkward because of the potentially millions of people who could be fired from their positions in the coming weeks and months for non-compliance with Covid mandates. Brownstone has defended the rights of workers to choose against v...

Slowly, Then All at Once James Howard Kunstler You can start to wonder what, if anything, will be left standing of the life we once called “modern” when Christmas 2021 rolls around. Shopping? Motoring? Working? Mingling? Eating? Sleeping? Waking…? Suddenly, everything is coming apart. The supply lines are wobbling and many will go down. No stuff, no parts, before long, no food. Energy supplies are shaky everywhere. China’s electric grid is going dark from insufficient coal. Russia lacks the surplus NatGas to keep Western Europe warm. Global shortages drive up US oil and gas prices while people lose jobs and incomes over vaccine mandates — meaning families will freeze as the daylight dwindles. “Joe Biden’s”  dark winter  is coming on fast. Ol’ White Joe might be going soon, too, before his vaunted dark winter even arrives. Guess what’s on his schedule this Monday morning.  Answer: an airplane ride from Wilmington to Washington, some remarks at 11:15 about the debt ceiling,...

After sharing his opinions on pandemic rules, a university professor worries for his safety.  0 BY  HELENA SUTAN   ON  OCTOBER 3, 2021 NEWS After sharing his opinions on pandemic rules, a university professor worries for his safety. A PROFESSOR AT ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITIES has stated that he was concerned for his safety after a secret campus campaign targeted him because of his views on pandemic limits. Professor Jay Bhattacharya, who has advocated for targeted safety rather than blanket limitations, said he felt terrified to stroll freely on university grounds for the first time in 35 years of studying and teaching at Stanford. He claimed that a’secret’ petition demanding for his censorship because of his opinions on masks had been disseminated, and that his photo had been plastered on posters. He declared that he would not be intimidated, but warned that individuals who disagree with the “dangerous orthodoxy” that lockdowns are the only optio...
