Back in March of 2020, when the coronavirus fearmongering from politicians and big money media was taking off, an outbreak of coronavirus and several deaths on the Diamond Princess cruise ship was among the examples used to stir up dread of coronavirus among the American populace. However, people who looked critically at the Diamond Princess situation realized that it suggested coronavirus did not pose an especially great threat.
Continue readingTyrants just about always say they mean well in imposing tyranny. Sweeping prohibitions, coupled with harsh enforcement, the tyrants say, are necessary to advance important conditions, such as health, economic wellbeing, or defense from an enemy’s menace.
So it goes as well with United States President Joe Biden who has unilaterally exercised broad tyrannical powers on matters including mask mandates and vaccine mandates in the name of protecting people’s health.
Government has been paying for purchasing, promoting, and distributing experimental coronavirus “vaccines” to Americans. Government has even been mandating many people take the shots in order to continue working at their jobs, while also pressuring these and other people to take the shots by imposing vaccine passport requirements that bar from ordinary activities people who have not taken the shots.
Yet, at the same time, government is saying that if individuals who succumb to the marketing and coercion end up being hurt or killed by the shots, those individuals or their families are barred from suing the pharmaceutical companies that have been raking in big bucks off the shots.
Legal commentator Andrew Napolitano took on this liability shield outrage in a brief compelling video commentary. In the Wednesday video commentary, Napolitano tags the United States government created liability shied for the big pharmaceutical companies behind the experimental coronavirus vaccine shotes as both “morally wrong” and “corporatism.”
Continue readingOver this and last month, there was good news for Americans seeking to exercise their right to refuse to take experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots. Decisions of several United States courts resulted in temporary injunctions against the US government’s implementation and enforcement of all three of President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates for private employees — the mandate for employees at companies with 100 or more employees, the mandate for employees at health care related companies, and the mandate for employees at companies that are contractors or subcontractors with the US government.

Continue readingIn my May article “A Pantry Full of Marijuana,” I pined for the day when “governments across America will consider it none of their business how much marijuana people have in their homes, cars, purses, or wherever.” Such has long been the situation with legal alcohol. However, while the momentum for marijuana legalization across the Untied States remains strong, the marijuana legalization that materializes continues to have many burdensome strings attached, including limitations on how much marijuana a person can legally possess.
Over at the Future of Freedom Foundation, Laurence M. Vance presents a detailed case in support of removing the limits on the amount of marijuana people can possess. In his Tuesday article “Marijuana Legalization vs. Marijuana Freedom,” Vance argues that, while marijuana has been legalized for medical, recreational, or both medical and recreational use in much of America, the marijuana legalization falls far short of recognizing marijuana freedom because of government restrictions bound up with the legalization. In particular, Vance focuses in his article on pervasive restrictions on how much marijuana people can possess in contrast with the laissez faire approach taken toward the amount of alcohol people can possess.
Continue readingOn Saturday, I wrote about Students for Liberty Chief Executive Officer Wolf von Laer and Director of Alumni Programs Jorge Jraissati’s Foreign Policy article focused on promoting that the United States government tweak the use of its sanctions against Venezuela to make those sanctions more effective in achieving changes in Venezuela that von Laer and Jraissati desire. I noted that promoting this policy change while not even mentioning the merit of just dropping the sanctions on Venezuela is peculiar for leaders of an organization that touts itself as the “largest libertarian student organization in the world.”
Continue readingYou would likely expect leaders of Students for Liberty to oppose the imposing of sanctions on Venezuela. After all, the organization claims at its website that it is the “largest libertarian student organization in the world” and libertarians are known for their support for a noninterventionist foreign policy. That noninterventionist approach includes opposition to imposing sanctions on other countries to bring about “regime change” or to force changes in government policies in those countries.
Well, the self-proclaimed libertarian organization has a surprise for you.
Continue readingIn July, I wrote an article the title of which asked this question: “Expanding Conscription to Women to Become Law this Year?” In the article, I wrote that there were indications that the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to be voted on this year could include a requirement that women register with Selective Service as men are required to register — a requirement supported by many Congress members and President Joe Biden. Requiring women to register with Selective Service would put women along with men as potential conscripts should the United States government reinstate a military draft.
As I wrote in July, there has been over the last few years substantial movement toward making women subjectable to a future draft. Fortunately, it appears that the legislative action toward this goal will not reach fruition this year, though there is no sign that the effort to lay the foundation for drafting women is being abandoned.
The tense situation between the United States and Russia governments concerning Ukraine is a topic of much discussion in the media recently, including in today’s episode of the Ron Paul Institute’s daily video program.
Once you have watched that Ron Paul Liberty Report episode, a great next step for background information about the situation is Patrick J. Buchanan’s editorial “Putin to Biden: Finlandize Ukraine, or We Will.”
