    Here at Porcfest, a week-long celebration of freedom in New Hampshire, there are many hubs of activities, with talks and sessions all day every day, and a central campfire near the pavilion each night. Close by is the large tent for Brownstone Institute where we have had talks and discussions all day and evening. One of the most interesting sessions was simply to have an open microphone for people to tell their COVID stories. Each one is powerful and tragic. These have been neglected by media people. Even today they are mostly untold. This is because vast numbers of people...

    Illinois Review ^ | May 23, AD 2023 | John F Di Leo
    In all likelihood, we have all been the victim of slights, of transgressions, even of high crimes like robbery or physical abuse at some point in our lives. How do we deal with that? Do we allow it to eat at our soul, ruining our lives forever? Do we plot revenge? Or do we learn from it, put it behind us, and move on? In our personal lives, this is a question handled differently – by philosophy, by religion, by psychology; our approach is shaped by our cultures, by our families, neighborhoods, and by our studies. No matter what path...

    KHROMOVE, Ukraine (AP) — Pressure mounted Saturday on Ukrainian troops and civilians hunkering down in Bakhmut, as Kyiv’s forces tried to help residents flee amid what Western analysts say may be preparations for a Ukrainian withdrawal from the eastern city that Russian forces have spent months trying to capture. A woman was killed and two men were badly wounded by shelling while trying to cross a makeshift bridge out of Bakhmut on Saturday, according to Ukrainian troops who were assisting them. A Ukrainian army representative who asked not to be named for operational reasons told The Associated Press that it...
  • Flawed Outbreak Report Led to Bans on Choral Singing During COVID, Study Says

    Policymakers across the world banned choral singing during the COVID-19 pandemic after taking wrongful interpretations of a high-profile outbreak as facts, a new study suggests. The study, set to be published in Public Health, a British journal, revisits what was widely reported as a “super-spreader event” in March 2020 at Skagit County in northwest Washington State. Among 61 Skagit Valley Chorale members who attended the March 10 rehearsal at a local church, 53 were diagnosed with COVID-19 within a few weeks, including two who died. In a report that had since been used by governments across the world to justify...

    FLCCC Alliance ^ | November 20, 2022 | Charles K. Devitt, M.D
    An FLCCC supporter, Charles K. Devitt, M.D., sent us this guest post outlining his thoughts on the recent, widely circulated article in The Atlantic proposing an amnesty over COVID matters. Long ago, two economists were out for a walk and fell into a deep hole. The senior scholar said to his colleague, “First, let’s assume a ladder.” (That’s the whole story.) Brown University Economics Professor Emily Oster recently wrote an article entitled, “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty,” for The Atlantic, (October 31, 2022), which was the stimulus piece for this guest post. Dr. Oster is the child of two economists...

    If you asked me what I think the most likely outcome tomorrow, I’d say the following: The Democrats win in every race, 99% to 1%. Military vehicles fill the streets of the capitals of red states. Fox News gets another “facelift” as it did on Election Night 2020. Tucker Carlson disappears into some CIA “black site,” and gets replaced without explanation by a sneering Chris Wallace. The Fox news anchor blondes give way to stodgy men in brown paramilitary uniforms, who report the results in Romanian. But call me a sunny optimist.... Let’s say we capture both the House and...

    WaPo ^ | Nov 2 | By Dan Diamond and Rachel Roubein
    As the election nears, Biden administration officials are dreading three words: Chairman Rand Paul. The Kentucky senator, who has clashed with Anthony S. Fauci and other health officials throughout the pandemic, is in line to lead a Senate committee should he win reelection and Republicans retake the chamber next week. (While Paul is heavily favored in his own race, control of the Senate is viewed as a toss-up by pollsters.) GOP control would give the libertarian doctor — an outspoken critic of the government’s coronavirus policies — the power to lead investigations and help set legislative priorities next year, either...

    I live in a picture-perfect region — the Hudson Valley, memorialized by painters and poets; a patchwork of autumn reds and yellows, majestic hillsides, storied waterfalls, and little homesteads dotted picturesquely on the slopes of sleepy hamlets. Towns in our area look like Norman Rockwell paintings: there is Main Street, Millerton, with its white 19th century church steeple, its famous Irving Farm cafe with the excellent curated coffee beans, its charming antiques mall, its popular pizzeria. When you drive to Millerton, it looks like you are driving into the heart of archetypal America; everything that Woody Guthrie songs memorialize, everything...

    American Greatness ^ | 4 Nov, 2022 | Ned Ryun
    If any vestiges of our free republic are to remain, every last freak who perpetrated these crimes against society should be held accountable. Instead of amnesty, we need trials. In a recent article at the far-left Atlantic calling for a “COVID amnesty,” which many found stunning in its chutzpah, Brown University “mommy economist” Emily Oster asks that we give a pass to those involved in ruining the lives of countless people and probably killing many more for years to come. I know I’m not alone when I say my best counteroffer is, “Hell no,” and you can stick that “COVID...

    Let’s declare a pandemic amnesty, we need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID. Oh, really? As time goes on, today is Day 962 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, it is coming to light that we as a global people were lied to, deceived, tricked and fooled to such a degree as to beggar imagination. Masks did nothing to slow the spread of the virus, social distancing did nothing to slow the spread of the virus, and lockdowns did nothing but increase mental illness, create poverty, stupefy...
  • AFL Uncovers Documents Revealing that Biden Admin’s ‘Guidance’ on Masking Children in School Was Driven by the Kaiser Foundation’s Political Polling

    11/04/2022 7:05:49 AM PDT · by MNDude · 2 replies
    The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) is a liberal dark money group, receiving funding from organizations like Google, Twitter, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with regular and direct access to top Biden Administration officials. This production of documents shows regular emails from May 2021 through August 2021. Altman wrote that the 36% opposing school mask mandates is “made up of the usual suspects,” and “of course is large enough to make some trouble.” He continued that “prohibitions against school requiring masks…may only be a political winner in deep-red communities.” A mere three days later, on August 13, 2021, the...

    Our democratic system of government in America is at stake, but only because one side is completely depraved and has hordes of useful idiots at their disposal. Democrats lie and hope that our attention spans are short, as do their media allies. Recently, The Atlantic published an article in which the author called for a “pandemic amnesty” and that we need to forgive each other because “we were in the dark about COVID.” Lies. We were not left in the dark at all. The media, Big Pharma, and Big Government all worked together to destroy our freedoms and ruin the...

    Fifteen days to slow the spread turned into, please forget we stripped you of your human dignity. Brown University economist Emily Oster’s recent Atlantic article asks for amnesty for the people who brutally attempted to subjugate Americans with vaccine and mask mandates, lockdowns, and social distancing idiocy on the grounds: “We didn’t know.” She claimed that during the height of the Covid insanity, “most errors were made by people who were working in earnest for the good of society.” No, Ms. Oster, they weren’t. Most decisions were made by people, like flight attendants and front desk clerks, whose normal job...

    I wrote my forthcoming book, “Rise of the Fourth Reich: Confronting COVID Fascism with a New Nuremberg Trial, So This Never Happens Again,” exactly because of people like Emily Oster. She is legion, and if those like her are allowed to get away with the nonsense she tried to pull this week in the pages of the Atlantic, fascism will be what’s for dinner for a very long time. Oster, who is a professor at Brown University with a Twitter bio that says – I kid you not – “unapologetically data-driven,” wrote a column titled “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty:...

    Declare a Real Pandemic Inquiry Instead of AmnestyI’ll admit, I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw Brown Professor Emily Oster’s new headline in The Atlantic this morning. It’s the headline we’ve been waiting to see—and, in the revisionist, gaslighting style that’s become the journalistic norm on the response to Covid—it’s about the closest thing to an outright admission of guilt that we’ve seen since Covid began.My latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/w6GIOEMhZv— ProfEmilyOster (@ProfEmilyOster) October 31, 2022The article is about as pathetically transparent as it is self-serving. Gee, I wonder what Oster did and said during Covid for which she...

    The headline reads, “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty.” It would be risible if it were not so galling. We are to give a pardon to the officials who, over and over, proved themselves blustering little tyrants, and worse, incompetent? Absolutely not. We are to erase the record of those responsible for leaving sick children to waste away in hospitals all alone, for separating husband from wife, for stopping families from holding the hands of the dying or gathering for their funerals? No, no, and again, no. After mandates forced people out of jobs, and the vaccine-turned-therapeutic failed to stop transmission,...

    American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten is calling on Americans to grant amnesty to COVID tyrants. image Given Weingarten was one of the worst offenders during the pandemic, driving parents and teachers away from public schools in droves, it's no wonder she's asking everyone to simply forget about it. She's a main reason student test scores are in the toilet and why kids across the country have been set back for years after AFT lobbied the CDC to keep schools closed. Not to mention the billions Weingarten extorted from American taxpayers.

    Now that we can talk to our friends and neighbors about it, the reality is sinking in. What our public health experts and politicians did to this country was egregious. Inspired by the totalitarian lockdowns in Wuhan, China, and urged to replicate that policy by the World Health Organization in a report which Fauci’s National Institutes of Health approved, all constitutional rights were thrown out. The churches were shut. The schools were closed, in some places for as long as two years, thus sacrificing the education of a whole generation. We faced restrictions on house parties. We couldn’t visit the...

    Inmate Benjamin Cole was executed by the state of Oklahoma Thursday morning for the 2002 killing of his 9-month-old daughter. He was pronounced dead at 10.22am Central Time. The 57-year-old died by lethal injection. His attorneys had previously argued that Cole was mentally ill and not competent to be executed. Cole was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and, according to his attorneys, is 'incapacitated by his mental illness to the point of being essentially non-functional.' Attorneys for the state and members of the victim's family, however, have said that symptoms of Cole's mental illness are exaggerated and that the brutality of...
