The Post-Partisan Emporium

You're not alone. The World is rising up. The media won't cover it but the first week of December has seen hundreds of protest across the world. Justin Hart I woke up at 4AM sick to my stomach — and not with COVID. It was March 2020 and I had really put my neck out on this one. What if I was wrong? What if this really was the apocalyptic pandemic they predicted? What if my “in-caution” put lives at risk? The very next day John Ioannidis came out with his now infamous STATNews article and I  set myself on a trajectory to do everything I could  to stop the insanity. Today, people are waking up. The excitement we felt over the weekend, meeting people who viewed the world like we did was palpable.  Download our recap of yesterday’s podcast ! But it doesn’t stop there… the mainstream media won’t cover it but there are HUNDREDS of protests going on across the world pushing back on vaccine mandates and Covid policies. My co-founder of Rational Ground Aaron Ginn has done a master...

Reaping the whirlwind Italy and the "Super Green Pass" MyBodyThisPaperThisFire “For they hath sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind .”  (Hosea 8:7) As of 6 December,  reports  Italian newspaper  Il Giornale , Italy is rolling out its so-called “Super Green Pass,” barring the unvaccinated from a variety of events and amenities, even in the presence of a negative COVID test. The untermensch – as the documentation just about manages to refrain from describing those whom it excludes – will thus no longer be able to eat indoors at restaurants, attend sporting events, concerts, theatres, and many other public events, regardless of whether or not they’ve tested negative for COVID-19. It goes without saying that this won’t end well for the people of Italy. I do wonder, though, how the Italian authorities could ever have convinced themselves that it was likely to end well for them either. It wasn’t so long ago that their celebrated countryman, the Marxist political...

The World Gone Mad: The Covid Vaccine Derangement Syndrome Vasko Kohlmayer Last Friday the government of the United Kingdom began administering  a fourth Covid shot  to its citizens. That makes it four Covid injections in barely 11 months. As a result, now you can encounter the quadruply jabbed walking around England. The fourth shot, however, is not the last one. Apparently, there are many more to come. The UK government now recommends that those 18 and over take a shot every three months. This is not a joke. Watch the British Health Secretary solemnly  conveying  this news to the Parliament. You would think that the UK government is doing this because these shots work, but the opposite is, in fact, the case. A highly vaccinated country with an inoculation rate of 70 percent, Britain has been suffering from  Covid surges . Worse yet, the vaccinated fall seriously ill and die at higher rates than the unvaccinated.  Eighty percent  of hospitalizations a...

Ghosts, Not Quite Ghosts LINH DINH  •  In Hanoi in 1998, poet Phan Huyen Thu gave me an anthology of the earliest Vietnamese prose, a book that’s now in a box in Moorestown, NJ, at my friend Ian Keenan’s house. Along with all my other books, which constitute my mental terrain, roughly, I won’t see it again. Life is loss, in installments. Though I read every page with much interest, all its characters have disappeared, except a certain ghost that used to bother people at a Hanoi wet market. Meaning no harm, he was just frustrated, it’s clear, at not being seen and heard properly, like the rest of us, especially now. In a 15th century account of just over 100 words, this ghost lives, then, an individual with sane, normal needs. Though fleshless, he’s social and keeps no distance, unlike too many of us, entombed, as we are, in a chimeric fear. Snap out of it, fools! Granted, we had faded into nearly nothing even before this. By consensus, we had agreed to become mostly virtual. S...
