China Enters the Economic Doom-Loop By Peter St Onge. China's ruling Politburo held an emergency economic meeting and decided to crank up the money printers to 11, pumping money to consumers, to banks, to property developers, basically to anybody who might spend it.


Don't Let the 'Infaux Thugs' Close Down Debate By Daniel Klein. Today's censors wield cudgels with the word 'information.' Content they don't like they call 'misinformation' or 'disinformation.' The justification is fake. Pretending to protect people from bad information by means of censorship may be called infaux thuggery.


Policy Imperatives for Health Freedom By Leslie Manookian. In order to create a society based on true health freedom, the following policy shifts should be implemented, as a first step. These proposals would address some of the most glaring, pernicious anti-liberty and anti-health aspects of our system.

Migration, Assimilation, and the Limits of Compassion By David Barnhizer. Neither Europe nor the United States can admit all who want to come or support those who manage to infiltrate the nations unlawfully.

The Carbon Alarmists Are Silent about This By Eric Hussey. If carbon dioxide production by evil humans is the culprit, we should be hearing about new data showing 1) reduced CO2 during lockdown and 2) a flattening or direction change of "climate change" temperature curves.


Political Renewal, Intellectual Revival By Bert Olivier. Indications of a renewed political sense abound. What seems to have been a dormant political awareness is being revived. Not only the intellectual activities under the auspices of Brownstone Institute testify to this; the growth of 'patriotic' activities is significant.


Psychological Bioterrorism By Robert Malone. Psychological Bioterrorism is the use of fear about a disease by governments and other organizations, such as Big Pharma, to manipulate individuals, populations, and governments.
