Cuomo Lies, Blames the CDC for Killing Thousands by Sending the Sick to Nursing Homes
Apparently, Andrew Cuomo was shipping COVID-19 victims off to nursing homes. Genius idea, Andrew.
Monday-Morning-Quarterbacking the Pandemic Response in New York City
My best guess is that virtually everything in this is probably correct. By Nexus X Humectress The following is a thought experiment imagining what the most effective response could have been, keeping in mind that the infection rate is determined by the intensity of exposure to virus particles […]
What the Coronavirus Revealed About Life in Red vs. Blue States
By Jennifer Medina and Robert Gebeloff New York Times The staggering American death toll from the coronavirus, now approaching 100,000, has touched every part of the country, but the losses have been especially acute along its coasts, in its major cities, across the industrial Midwest, and in New […]
A world redrawn: US coronavirus response fatally ‘chaotic,’ says Noam Chomsky
This interview with Chomsky is generally pretty good. He calls out the use of the pandemic as a pretext for expanding the surveillance state and the role of “big tech” in facilitating it. But there is one glaring contradiction. He criticizes the US inadequate response to the pandemic […]

Why Does the Left Favor Lockdowns?
Tom Woods interviews Thaddeus Russell on left-wing support for scientistic therapeutic totalitarianism. Listen here. ————————————————— It’s been quite remarkable to me the extent to which the lockdowns have divided people along ideological lines. A left-wing case against lockdown seems so easy to make and so obvious, and yet […]

Colorado man shoots Waffle House cook who asked him to wear a face mask
Another “culture war” issue to bring the psychopaths out of the baseboards. By Travis Gettys Raw Story A Colorado man shot a Waffle House worker who asked him to wear a face mask inside the restaurant.

Christian Evangelicals Dying at Alarming Rate of Corona
One thing that Marxist-Leninist fundamentalist Jason Unruhe regrettably ignores in this commentary is that Christian evangelicals tend to be disproportionately concentrated among the poor and working-class (including both whites and minorities) and are therefore the people most likely to be in “essential jobs” and less able to practice […]
The Conspiracy Theorists Are Winning
The problem with David’s analysis in this is that he seems fairly subjective and one-dimensional in his criticisms of “conspiracy theories.” The fact that the last three years of cable news (excluding FOX) was devoted to Russiagate hysteria shows that liberals and the Left are just as prone […]
17 Things We Don’t Know—And Shouldn’t Pretend To Know—About COVID-19
By Dr. Lissa Rankin, MD A few days ago on Facebook, I made a casual comment questioning part of the dominant narrative (that the anti-viral remdesivir is indeed worthy of Dr. Fauci’s optimism and a lightning speed rush to FDA approval.) A physician and medical director challenged me, […]
Estimating The Infection Fatality Rate Among Symptomatic COVID-19 Cases In The United States
According to this new study, while about 1 in 1000 people who get the ordinary flu actually die, with COVID-19 it’s about 1.2 per 100 of symptomatic cases. So COVID-19 is roughly 10 times more deadly than the conventional flu. Health Affairs Knowing the infection fatality rate (IFR) […]

The Richest Neighborhoods Emptied Out Most as Coronavirus Hit New York City
That’s probably how the coronavirus was spread. What we should have done as soon as COVID-19 appeared was build one of Trump’s walls around New York, LA, DC, the Bay Area, Chicago, and DC (i.e. all the ruling class havens), shut down flights from those cities, and be […]
Reopening The Economy Is About Crushing Labor
As usual, the Right is better at criticizing the government and the media (see the Tucker Carlson video I just posted) while the Left (like these Jacobin boys) are better are criticizing the corporations/capitalist class. Fortunately, it’s not a question of either/or. We should be attacking ridiculous government […]

Libertarians Are Still The Worst ft. Ron Paul
This video featuring a group of Marxoids/Berniebros from The Jacobin is a perfect illustration of how the mainstream economics debate pitting “socialism” versus “capitalism” represents a false dichotomy that should be discarded. Both Ron/Rand Paul fans and these Jacobin guys need to go back and read their nineteenth-century […]
Bill Gates and the Population Control Grid
The takeover of public health that we have documented in How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health and the remarkably brazen push to vaccinate everyone on the planet that we have documented in Bill Gates’ Plan to Vaccinate the World was not, at base, about money. The unimaginable wealth […]
Plandemic Planners Threaten A Dark Winter For America
Tucker: America is splitting into two before our eyes
If only it were true. Localized quarantines are what we should have been doing all along. It’s ridiculous to expect rural counties to abide by the same rules as New York and Los Angeles. Some states are using science to guide their decisions and cautiously beginning to relax […]
The lockdowns may be the greatest mistake in history
Whether it’s a “mistake” or not is beside the point. We need reparations from the state now. Total moratorium on rent, mortgages, utility bills, credit cards, student loans, medical bills, and car payments. If you take away peoples’ livelihoods, then you owe them. Period. It’s no different than […]

Would You Care if a White Man Cured Covid-19? Hiring researchers by sex and race rather than scientific prowess is dangerous nonsense
I’m generally not a fan of Randian cop-lover Heather MacDonald, but this is funny. By Heather MacDonald Rightfully Yours “If we are in a war, as our leaders tell us, we should act like it. Diverting scientists’ attention, time and funding away from research and toward identity politics […]
No Lockdowns: The Terrifying Polio Pandemic of 1949-52
I’ve seen some of the circles around C4SS and other supposed “left-libertarians” bashing Jeffrey Tucker (whose orthodox libertarianism I don’t personally share, although I am in favor of all forms of voluntary libertarianism and anarchism) for questioning the sanctity of the lockdowns. By Jeffrey Tucker Many people infected […]
Robot dogs are patrolling Singapore parks telling people to socially distance
It figures that Singapore would be in the vanguard of techno-therapeutic-fascism. It’s also interesting how so many American right-libertarians engage in such a pathetic veneration of Singapore (“‘They got low taxes, man!”) just as so many American leftists engage in an equally pathetic veneration of Cuba (“They got […]
Covid’s war on women
Is the coronavirus a tool of the phallocracy? Not that it’s a pissing contest, but more men than women have died from COVID-19 so far. This is Rush Limbaugh-like “left parody” material here. By Ryan Heath and Renuka Rayasam Politico During this plague year, there is almost never […]
Mexico’s Cartels Distribute Coronavirus Aid to Win Support

Why Conservatives and Liberals Are Not Experiencing the Same Pandemic
When different tribes create their own realities. By Luke Conway Heterodox Although both groups live in the same country, conservatives and liberals in the U.S. do not seem to be experiencing the same COVID-19 pandemic. Liberals are very concerned about the disease; conservatives are comparatively apathetic. This fact […]

The Rise Of Religious Nationalism with Katherine Stewart
A leader of an organized atheist group (the far left of organized religion) interviews a member of the liberal media class (the new clerisy) on the role of the religious right (clerical oligarchs manipulating naive peasants on behalf of the right-wing of the ruling class/dying WASP elite/Likudniks/war profiteers).

The 75,000 deaths the lockdowners forgot

How Long Can a Country Stay Shut Down?
Pakman is right that the coronavirus shutdowns are exacerbating the Red/Blue rural-suburban-urban divide, and that other countries have often been even stricter than the US.
No Return to Normal
By Troy Southgate Tens of millions are labouring under the false impression that the current state of emergency is about to come to an end and that things will soon return to ‘normal’. If these people had paid more attention to history, rather than eagerly consuming anything which […]
A Precarious State in Our History
By Troy Southgate When governments impose a state of emergency it is simply a method of regaining or increasing control. Following on from that, I would even argue that we entered this precarious stage in our history during the insurrections of the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when […]
