It’s About Time We Stopped “Trying Communism”
“We live in an age where ignorance is a choice when it comes to the superiority of a free and open society. The quicker we stop averting our eyes and look at the facts, the quicker we can move towards a world where every individual, regardless of their geographical and political fortune, can live free…

The Protests In Cuba Tell a Much Bigger Global Story
“Hopefully the video images downloaded from the streets of Havana signal a successful push by the Cuban people to finally free themselves from tyranny. Those in power can’t arrest everyone, and if they try to, or if they try to bring physical harm to protesters, we’ll all know it.” ~ John Tamny

‘Zero Covid’ Catastrophe: Participating Nations See New Records Across the Board
“There are no longer any ‘success stories’ involving nations using tyrannical means in an attempt to stop a virus. Zero Covid, as any rational person could have predicted a long time ago, has failed in spectacular fashion.” ~ Jordan Schachtel

Let’s Not Pretend We Defeated Lockdowns
“Despite the evidence, despite the advocacy, despite the public outcry, the lockdowners had their way with society. Some of them have gotten away with blatant hypocrisy while in positions of authority. The list is so large the Heritage Foundation even has a database to list the notable incidents.” ~ Ethan Yang

About That Recession
“The mild decline in the economy might have escaped notice if not for the shutdown. But, the shutdown sealed the fate of the economy. In a similar way, the mild decline prior to the attacks of 9-11 (2001) might not have turned into a recession if not for those attacks.” ~ Clifford F. Thies

No Victory Lap For Governors Who Locked Down America
“As long as politicians are exalted, the actual details of their decrees are irrelevant: they have been coronated as saviors. Cuomo assured his fellow Covid-profiteering governors that ‘this will happen again.’ This is why Americans must recognize the catastrophic failure of political iron fists during the Covid-19 pandemic.” ~ James Bovard

“Externality” Is No Good Excuse for Mandatory Vaccination
“That the choice to remain unvaccinated against Covid creates some risks for strangers is indisputable. Yet this fact about this choice does not distinguish it from many other choices with similar consequences, nearly all of which choices, again, do not justify government intervention.” ~ Donald J. Boudreaux

Cracks In the Great Wall Part 3 – China’s Charm Has Expired
“It would be safe to say that the world’s honeymoon phase with China is over and the pathway forward will see far more resistance to their ambitions. It seems like the CCP has overplayed its hand and it wouldn’t be absurd to think they know that as well.” ~ Ethan Yang

Cracks in the Great Wall-Part One: The CCP at 100 Years
“China’s authoritarian policies have consequences and it seems like the chickens are starting to come home to roost. This should be another reason to double down on our confidence in the superiority of a free and open society, an objective that we can safely pursue to our own benefit, whereas the Chinese cannot.” ~ Ethan…

Can Mass Subjugation Save American Democracy?
“We should not turn young people into cannon fodder for good deeds that exist only in White House press releases. Peaceful co-existence between all citizens is the recipe for an American revival, not a vast increase in subjugation to indoctrinate the latest Woke Catechism of the Week.” ~ James Bovard
