The COVID “Second Wave” Will Tear Our Communities Apart
When the new flu season arrives in autumn 2020, our western governments and mainstream news media are preparing to go into overdrive and declare (without evidence) that the 2nd wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is here. The fact is, they’re already pushing this narrative by declaring that there’s an uptick in COVID-19 cases and so governments around the world are now imposing mandatory mask laws on the population (see here and here) with added threats of national lock-downs!

We Need a Principled Anti-Lockdown Movement
[image: undefined] Shell-shocked is a good way to describe the mood in the US for a good part of the Spring of 2020. Most of us never thought it could happen here. I certainly did not, even though I’ve been writing about pandemic lockdown plans for 15 years. I knew the plans were on the shelf, which is egregious, but I always thought something would stop it from happening. The courts. Public opinion. Bill of Rights. Tradition. The core rowdiness of American culture. Political squeamishness. The availability of information. Something would prevent it. So I believed. So most of us be... more »
Coronavirus is the New ‘Terrorism’
[image: undefined] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has proposed the next multi-trillion dollar "coronavirus relief” spending bill that will support testing, tracing, treatment, isolation, and mask policies that have been part of a “national strategic plan” she has been advocating. The Trump administration is not opposing Pelosi’s plan on principle. Instead, it is haggling over the price. But, even if the strategic plan could be implemented at little or no monetary cost, it would still impose an unacceptable cost in lost liberty. Pelosi’s plan will lead to either a federal mask mandate or... more »

Breaking the Mask Psychosis
*Psychosis is a condition that affects the way your brain processes information. It causes you to lose touch with reality. You might see, hear, or believe things that aren't real, true or accurate. * *Spain's Strict Mask Policy- results in increased Covid cases* *Spain has a reputation for having some of the strictest policies on masks in Europe, with the public even encouraged to wear face-coverings outside. Yet today, Spain’s Health Ministry announced that the number of coronavirus cases has continued to rise, with 9,848 cases counted over the past two days – prompting those who l... more »
Throwing It All Away
Tom Friedman writes that recent events in Lebanon provide a stark warning. Things go horribly wrong when everything becomes political. In Lebanon, it's been that way for a long time: Because of the sectarian nature of Lebanese society, where all the powers of governing, and the spoils of the state, had been constitutionally or informally divided in a very careful balance between different Christian and Muslim sects, everything was indeed political. Every job appointment, every investigation into malfeasance, every government decision to fund this and not that was seen as advantagi... more »
Democrats love pedophiles more than they love your kids
In order to protect pedophiles from the China virus the they've put some of them in a hotel which is only a block away from a public school. Now De Blasio says that the level 3 offenders were but there by mistake and quickly removed. Ok let's give him that; his government is incompetent. But level 2 offenders, who are classified as "sexually violent" but who have no housing restrictions, remain. It's unclear how a sexually violent offender can have no limitations on where the live but then it's De Blasio's New York. The official De Blasio government statement is: "No residency-res... more »
In England the lockdown may be killing almost as many people as the China virus is
The Office for National Statistics in England says that there have been 38,500 excess deaths in England connected to COVID19. But of those deaths 16,000, or 41%, weren't due to the virus but due to people not getting medical care because of the lockdown. Since that toll only counts deaths it isn't counting all the people who will die long term because they skipped cancer screenings or other early testing. However the study did estimate that impact and concluded that there could be 81,500 excess deaths over the next 50 years due to the response to the China virus. So 38,500 - 16,00... more »
Democrats love criminals and hate you: rapist freed from jail who killed his victim edition
Ibrahim Bouaichi was charged with raping Karla Dominguez. Under Virginia law people charged with certain highly dangerous crimes aren't eligible for bail. Yet Bouaichi's attorneys successfully argued that despite there being no cases of COVID19 in the facility where he was being held that he should be released on bail for his health. Some idiot judge agreed with that and Bouaichi was released on bail. He later went to Ms. Dominguez's apartment and shot her dead. What's really amazing is that after he was released but before he killed Karla he rammed a police car. but local authorit... more »
How the Guardian betrayed not only Corbyn but the last vestiges of British democracy
It is simply astonishing that the first attempt by the Guardian – the only major British newspaper styling itself as on the liberal-left – to properly examine the contents of a devastating internal Labour party report leaked in April is taking place nearly four months after the 860-page report first came to light.
The Hunters And The Hunted
The creatures in this world can be divided into two categories: the hunters and the hunted—this holds true for humans as well. Men are either preying on other men or they are the prey; they are either the wolves or the sheep. The sense of reason that the men possess adds a layer of complexity to their needs—an animal is motivated by the desire for food, sex, and shelter; the interests of men, on the other hand, is fuelled by their lust for power, pleasure, and property. The ultimate avenue for acquiring power, pleasure, and prosperity is politics which is generally dominated by men... more »
PROPAGANDA, INCOMPETENCE, ERROR: Maureen Dowd made a mistake!
*MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 2020And that was the weekend's good news:* Maureen Dowd made a mistake at the start of yesterday's column in the New York Times. Uh-oh! As originally published, her column started like this: DOWD (8/9/20): On the cusp of Joe Biden teaming up with a woman, I am casting back to my time covering the first woman who was a serious contender for veep. The feminist fairy tale—which began with women crying and popping champagne on the convention floor in San Francisco in 1984—had a sad ending.

Former Australian PM Rudd warned that we face not "just a new Cold War, but a hot one as well." This is not inevitable. In fact, there is no reason for it, except the itchy trigger fingers of those globalists for whom war is their preferred racket, especially to divert attention away from the breakdown of their bankrupt system!

What Sort of Deal Would North Korea Strike with Donald Trump?
*Doug Bandow* *Security, Asia* Here is a blueprint of how a deal could become a reality. Among President Donald Trump’s many flaws is his belief that everything is about him. Last week he declared that if it wasn’t an election year his administration’s most important adversaries “Iran, China, everybody will be at the table the first day, within 24 hours, wanting to make a deal. Including North Korea.” However, he insisted, they are waiting for the election results, since they “don’t want Trump.” No doubt virtually every government on earth is waiting anxiously for the ballot on... more »
Link Between Autism and Eating Disorders Due to Inability to Identify New Emotions, Research Suggests
*Rachel Moseley and Laura Renshaw-Vuillier* *Health, World* [image: Reuters] First-person accounts from autistic people are consistent with the idea that alexithymia might play a role in their eating disorders. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rates of any mental illness. They don’t discriminate, affecting people of all ethnicities, sexualities, gender identities, ages and backgrounds. However, one group is disproportionately affected by these disorders: people on the autism spectrum. Eating disorders in autistic people are poorly understood, but they tend to be more s... more »

Wind Farms Built on Carbon-Rich Peat Bogs
*Guaduneth Chico, Ben Clutterbuck, Nicholas Midgley* *Environment, Europe* [image: Reuters] Wind farms are a great way to generate clean energy, but where they are built needs careful consideration. Wind power in the UK now accounts for nearly 30% of all electricity production. Land-based wind turbines now produce the cheapest type of energy – and there is no doubt wind farms can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing the fossil fuels that have traditionally been used to generate electricity. But what of wind turbines built on top of sensitive, natural environments ... more »
Four Reasons Some People Become "Super Smellers"

McKesson v. Doe—Searching for Clarity on Protesters’ Rights
Tabatha Abu El-Haj This summer’s protests following the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor reveal the costs of an ill-defined right of peaceable assembly. Uncertainty about what is “peaceful” has fueled grotesque law enforcement crackdowns and left protesters exercising their constitutional rights at the mercy of officials.

The Supreme Court has an opportunity to reaffirm that political protest... more »

How the U.S. failed at its foreign policy toward Venezuela
On August 4, 2020, the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on Venezuela. Appearing before the committee was U.S. State Department Special Representative Elliott Abrams. Abrams, who has had a long—and controversial—career in the formation of U.S. foreign policy, was assaulted by almost all the members of the Senate committee. The senators, almost without exception, suggested that Abrams had been—since 2019—responsible for a failed U.S. attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan government of President Nicolás Maduro.
