I highly recommend an occasional look at the Sultan Knish blog. It is a rich source of materials, links and more from one of the preeminent writers of our age.
FrontPage is a basic resource for conservative thought. Lou
This entire exercise has been a testament to the best and the worse in the human soul. We bought the big lie that everyone could die. Now we are beginning to believe we have been duped into sacrificing the best economy in the world to get Trump. The best outcome will be a deep and terrible curse on progressive politics that will utterly destroy it across the globe. Make it so.
Or 1-800-2INFORM
That’s even better!
Gee....this prompted me to look up how the French treated collaborators after the liberation of France from the Germans in WWII.
Look it up. Then have conversations with your neighbors.
1-800-2INFORM
bkmk
It was a literary device.
The only reason for that is to rub your face in it, and make you appreciate your status in the hierarchy.
was just about to post this, when Tucker has it on his show today.
25 Apr: The Atlantic: Internet Speech Will Never Go Back to Normal
In the debate over freedom versus control of the global network, China was largely correct, and the U.S. was wrong.
by Jack Goldsmith, Harvard Law School professor & Andrew Keane Woods, Professor of law at the University of Arizona College of Law
Today, the platforms are proudly collaborating with one another, and following government guidance, to censor harmful information related to the coronavirus. And they are using their prodigious data-collection capacities, in coordination with federal and state governments, to improve contact tracing, quarantine enforcement, and other health measures. As Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg recently boasted, “The world has faced pandemics before, but this time we have a new superpower: the ability to gather and share data for good.”...
As surprising as it may sound, digital surveillance and speech control in the United States already show many similarities to what one finds in authoritarian states such as China...
In the great debate of the past two decades about freedom versus control of the network, China was largely right and the United States was largely wrong. Significant monitoring and speech control are inevitable components of a mature and flourishing internet, and governments must play a large role in these practices to ensure that the internet is compatible with a society’s norms and values...

18 Oct 2019: Lawfare Blog: China and the Hypocrisy of American Speech Imperialism
By Andrew Keane Woods
(Andrew Keane Woods is a Professor of Law at the University of Arizona College of Law. Before that, he was a postdoctoral cybersecurity fellow at Stanford University. He holds a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a Ph.D. in Politics from the University of Cambridge, where he was a Gates Scholar)
There is no easy answer to the very difficult question of if or how American firms should do business in China. But, unfortunately, resolving this question is made harder because the debate is marred by a general lack of analytical clarity and is instead being driven by uninformed moral outrage, free speech absolutism, and American exceptionalism...
The first problem is the sheer hypocrisy of those most loudly critical of American firms self-censoring in order to appease the Chinese government...
Another distasteful and unconstructive thread running through the current debate is America’s moral superiority because of its robust speech rights. At the core of the argument that U.S. firms should not do business in China—or if they do, they should somehow not comply with Chinese rules—is an argument about China’s speech constraints and, therefore, its moral inferiority. But, as I’ve said before, evaluating China along welfare or human rights grounds is not so simple. Speech rights are much less robust than in the West, to be sure, but China has shown extraordinary concern—and done more than any other country—for its poor...

Nice thought but half the people whom claimed to be conservative embraced liberal politics when it benefited them. We just went another few trillion in the hole, gave people money for no good reason, stomped on all the constitutions protecting liberty and freedoms, all because we got scared.
Agreed. I am afraid Trump was scammed. He can still pull this out, and he better.
WHO THE PHRUCK IS GOVERNMENT TO DECIDE ANY BUSINESS IS NON-ESSENTIAL?
NOT THEIR DAM CALL. I NEVER VOTED TO GIVE THEM THIS POWER AND I VOTE IN EVERY FLIPPIN ELECTION.
Back in 2014, I wrote an article HERE discussing how this fear-and-informant scenario might take place.
I was hounded off FR for being an ist-phobe.
Gee golly, look at what is happening now...
