Commentary The news was everywhere this morning: Liz Truss, foreign secretary, is the new British Prime Minister. As usual, one had to dig deeper than the mainstream media line to find out why she won over Rishi Sunak, former chancellor of the Exchequer. Sunak had belatedly said that he was wrong to support lockdowns in…
Whatever Happened to Empathy?
Commentary On an afternoon stroll yesterday, I noticed across the street a quick-walking woman on a sidewalk headed toward a family of four coming the other direction. The woman ran into the family like a bowling ball hitting pins. On the other side of the resulting mess, the woman who was the main cause of…
Who Will Own the Lockdowns?
Commentary It is hard to find anyone in government today who is willing to take responsibility for worldwide lockdowns that copied the CCP’s failed method of virus control. Anthony Fauci claims that he never had anything to do with them, following two years of taking credit for them. Last week, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said…
Energy Crisis Will Hit Pubs Harder Than Lockdowns, Say Industry Bosses
Pubs will have no other option but to close owing to “out of control” energy bills, with upwards of 300 percent price hikes possible, UK brewery and pub bosses have warned. Leaders of six of the country’s largest breweries and pub businesses involved in the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) are pressuring the government…
UK’s COVID-19 Response Was ‘Too Draconian’: PM Hopeful Truss
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has said the UK’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was “too draconian” and that she would “never impose a lockdown” if she becomes prime minister. Truss, the frontrunner in the race to replace Boris Johnson as Conservative Party leader and prime minister, said she questioned the lockdown measures though she was…
UK Rushed Into COVID-19 Lockdowns Without Considering Costs, Suppressed Dissent: Sunak
The UK government plunged the country into COVID-19 lockdowns without properly considering the social and economic costs, and dissenting voices in the Cabinet and in the scientific community were suppressed, former Chancellor Rishi Sunak has revealed. The government imposed three national lockdowns on the population during the pandemic, but it never properly examined the likely…
Jared Kushner and the Mystery of the First US Lockdown
Commentary The possibility of U.S. lockdowns—never attempted on this scale in the history of pandemics—was already in the air in early March 2020. The theory of lockdown had been floating around for 15 years but now China was first to try it, and claim enormous success, however fraudulently. Incredibly, the United States was set to…
Will the Arts Ever Thrive Again?
Commentary The architects of lockdowns—Anthony Fauci became the most prominent among them—exhibited a mono-maniacism that was hard to comprehend at the time and now. In real life, people organize activities around millions of concerns, from religion to arts to commerce. The lockdowns demanded that all that change in deference to a single pathogen. And that…
The Sadistic State
Commentary Governor Ron DeSantis has a theory about those 87,000 new tax collectors, some of whom will be armed, as unleashed by the latest legislative triumph of the monopoly party ruling Washington today. He believes that they will be political agents. They will target the middle class in particular, with the hopes of punishing those…
A Deeper Dive Into the CDC Reversal
Commentary It was a good but bizarre day when the CDC finally reversed itself fundamentally on its messaging for two-and-a-half years. The source is the MMWR report of Aug. 11, 2022. The title alone shows just how deeply the about-face was buried: “Summary of Guidance for Minimizing the Impact of COVID-19 on Individual Persons, Communities, and…
