It is not the government. It is not the Leftist regime. It is not the government-controlled media. It is not public school. It is not Facebook algorithms. It is not "majority opinion."
"Now we have a culture in which most college-age (and just beyond) young people think it is acceptable to cut the unborn babies out of the bellies of their mothers for the sake of a political cause. This is Charles Manson stuff — Manson Family Values — and it has captured the minds of our young.
"Do you see now why the people who lived under Soviet communism see wokeness as essentially totalitarian? Do you? Do you see why Live Not By Lies matters so much? From the book:
"It is difficult for people raised in the free world to grasp the breadth and the depth of lying required simply to exist under communism. All the lies, and lies about lies, that formed the communist order were built on the basis of this foundational lie: the communist state is the sole source of truth. Orwell expressed this truth in Nineteen Eighty-Four:
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
-- Rod Dreher, author, Live Not By Lies
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
Joh 17:18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
Joh 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
-- Jesus, to his Father
Any investment in bioscience research comes with 100% risk because one never knows if a particular strategy will produce beneficial outcomes.
Publicly traded pharmaceutical companies have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to maximize profits and the only sure way to generate profits is through regulatory capture.
So Big Pharma just lies about its products and buys off the regulators (and the politicians and the media) every time.
The biggest profits come from giving a drug to the entire population in the name of preventive care — vaccines and now statins.
By pathologizing natural human emotions, the makers of psychopharmaceuticals also seek to sell treatments to nearly the entire population.
Causing harm increases profits by 100x or more (a single injury can produce a lifetime of profitable treatments).
Said simply, causing harm and disease massively increases the size of the market for pharmaceutical products so that’s Big Pharma’s business model today.

The “Putin apologist” smear is as omnipresent today as the same kind of smear was in 2002 in the US, deployed against anyone who questioned the wisdom of the coming war on Iraq. It’s designed to shut down thought. As usual, Hungary is the one dissenter from the EU consensus.

The case for getting out of NATO encompasses four fundamental propositions:
First, the Federal budget has become a self-fueling fiscal doomsday machine, even as the Fed has run out of capacity to monetize the skyrocketing public debt.
Second, the only viable starting point for fiscal salvation is slashing the nation’s elephantine Warfare State by at least $500 billion per year.
Third, the route to that end is a return to the “no entangling alliance” wisdom of the Founders, which means bringing the Empire Home, closing the 750 US bases abroad, scuttling much of the US Navy and Army and withdrawing from NATO and similar lesser commitments elsewhere.
Fourthly, jettisoning NATO requires debunking its Origins Story and the false claim that it brought peace and security to post-war America when what it actually did was transform Washington into the War Capital of the World, dominated by a panoptic complex of arms merchants, neocon warmongers and a vast Warfare State nomenklatura.
