Sold to the public as an effort to protect children from abuse, the policy effectively circumvents parental consent and notification about their children’s health, safety, and well-being. One Texas family told Chronicles how they fought to […]

One lasting casualty of the COVID-19 pandemic is lost trust in public health. The CDC recently lifted their recommendation for mask mandates, following nearly all governors already lifting them. It reminded me of a scene in Beverly Hills Cop. Axel Foley had disarmed one robber, and Sergeant Taggart had disarmed the other. When it was over, […]
Medical journals and textbooks are clear that the only way to accurately determine the life-or-death impacts of medical treatments is by measuring “all-cause mortality” in “randomized controlled trials.” Clinical lingo aside, this is simply the number of deaths in studies where people are randomly assigned to receive or not receive a certain treatment.

For the better part of 70 years, the only advice the government offered to people under immediate threat of nuclear violence was “duck and cover.” Generations of schoolchildren were led to believe that if they just got under their desks fast enough, they might well survive to experience nuclear winter. Thankfully, we finally have an […]

Editors’ Note: The following article is revealing and alarming. Describing the use of ‘behavioral science’ in the United Kingdom to control citizens’ actions during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is clear that these techniques used in Great Britain and elsewhere were operative in the United States from early 2020 to the present day. The daily use […]
Behind all the bad arguments against the Canadian Freedom Convoy, that they are Nazis or transphobes or whatever, is one good one: there was an election five months ago and they lost it.

Few spectacles in history rivaled that of a Roman triumphal procession.

Editors’ Note: We ourselves have suggested that governments would not permit the full operation of cryptocurrencies because it challenges their entrenched power to manipulate money. This manipulation in the past was limited to inflation of the currency, redistribution of wealth, and supposed countercyclical measures to modulate the business cycle.
