Kendall Whiting from Lifesaving Food joins me to talk about food security and what's happening to the food supply chain as well as food prices. Might not be a bad time to quietly get stocked up for the next few months.
How can thoughtful people navigate false narrative that there's such a thing as "settled science?" Joakim Book has an excellent essay on on how no science is ever settled. He points out that the sooner we accept that plenty of people are wrong about lots of things, the sooner we can stop trying to propagandize each other into submission.
Speaking of propaganda, the prosecutorial passion play taking place in over the Jan 6th "insurrection" at the Capitol is a great example of official make believe. James Bovard has a marvelous take on the coming January 6 train wreck.

The need to propaganda-proof our minds has never been stronger. Especially since there's an active effort afoot to supress what the propagandists are calling "misinformation." CJ Hopkins has an excellent article on the propaganda war and how to fight it.
In our minds, we all believe that we would courageously stand for the right things. In reality, most people choose to go with the flow. Isaac Morehouse explains why courage and cowardice aren't always easy to tell apart.
The renewed push for mandates and lockdowns over what some public authorities are portraying as "an epidemic of the unvaccinated" is building in intensity. Annie Holmquist points out the cracking fault lines in their narrative and why we must be willing to do our own fact-finding.
As more and more European nations drift back toward lockdowns, there's very little being said about Sweden. Jon Miltimore suggests there may be a reason for that. After all, he points out, Sweden didn't lockdown yet it remains freer and healthier than virtually any other nation in Europe.

At the risk of sounding like an inflexible ideologue, embracing the "new normal" is simply not an option for those who understand what that entails. Frank Furedi has some convincing reasons why we should resist the new normal that's being foisted on us.
As unbecoming as envy is, it's a powerful tool for some politicians. Why else would they be pushing for a "space race" tax on a handful of billionaires? Charles C.W. Cooke states the unpopular truth: Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson owe you nothing.
The ongoing corruption of our language is one of the strongest indicators that someone is trying to gain control over what we say and think. John Stossel has some good examples of what this looks like as well as a reminder that speech is not violence.
The announcement that the US Capitol Police will be creating outposts throughout the nation didn't make much of a splash. Nevertheless, it's something we should keep an eye on. Pedro Gonzalez explains how we are witnessing the creation of a massive public surveillance apparatus that will serve as the eyes and ears of the king.
I don't know who needs to hear this but here goes: Not everything is political. Kent McManigal has a brief but accurate take on how things (fail to) work.

The worst atrocities committed throughout human history have a common component. No matter whose twisted mind conceived and ordered them, it was obedient people who ultimately carried them out. Barry Brownstein has a powerful essay on why 'good' people enable totalitarians. It's a timely warning not to become an unwitting accomplice to aspiring tyrants.
If you want an excellent primer on what legitimate government should and should not do, it's hard to beat "The Law" by Frederic Bastiat. Sophia Spinazze also has a marvelous article on why we find ourselves living under law but no order.
The two most powerful teachers unions in America have thrown their support behind the teaching of critical race theory. What's fascinating is that they claim that those opposed to the teaching of this race-based ideology are trying to prevent the teaching of "honest history" in government schools. James Bovard sets the record straight and calls out their fraud.

Very soon, your pocketbook is going to feel every visit to the grocery store. A grocery chain owner is sounding the warning that inflation will drive food prices roughly 10% higher by October. Might not be a bad time to stock up on what you need.
Mandatory military service strikes a patriotic note with some folks but conscription has always been problematic. Jeffrey A. Miron and Sarah Eckhardt have a strong argument why the time is ripe to finally repeal the draft.
It's probably just nostalgia but there are many of us who miss the days when people dressed up to go about the business of life. Personally, I wish hats (not ballcaps) and suits would make a comeback. Jeff Minnick has a fascinating take on the decline and decadence of our manners and dress.
I make no secret of the fact that I have beef with politics in general. The older--and hopefully wiser--I get, the more I simply want to be left alone to peacefully pursue my own happiness. As J.D. Tuccille explains, that's never going to happen with deluded Republicans and smug Democrats who both suffer from control issues.

Political consultant Gary Welch joins me to talk about how applying the scientific method to politics could yield better results than what we're currently getting. We also discuss:
1. Reform of Christianity - Removal of the compulsion in promoting Christian values and morals
2. Reform of Politics - Refocusing on local politics and skeptical application of laws
3. Reform of Science - Re-establishment of the Scientific Method to provide real information to us, rather than agendas
4. Reform of Popular Culture - Getting rid of "fans." It is a recent phenomenon that was created in the 40s and needs to end.

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos drops by to share his weekly reality supplement. We explore the growing push to marginalize the vaccine hesitant and why the vax Borg seems so intent on assimilating all of us.
It's clear that a lot of things are teetering right on the edge these days. It's not the first time such things have happened. As Jeff Thomas explains, coming through such a shift unscathed is a question of timing.
Freeing your mind from the grip of the modern narrative machine takes conscious effort to maintain your situational awareness. James Howard Kunstler has a fascinating take on the the counter-truths unspin and where we seem to be headed.

The great danger in allowing people in power to regulate and quash "misinformation" is that the term can come to mean anything they want it to. Michael Tracy has a great take on how the priorities of politicians and their media enablers are to keep you under their control.
Some people have serious misgivings about self-checkout at the store. They worry that it destroys jobs or drafts them as a part-timer cashier, among other things. Tyler Curtis reminds us that self service can often mean better service.
Speed traps are not synonymous with public safety or justice. Especially when, come court time, your accuser is also the judge. Daryl James has an informative article on how Louisiana perfected the speed trap.

Truth is not something given to us by authority figures. We have to be able to figure it out for ourselves. That's worth keeping in mind as we see an unapologetic push to eliminate dissent from the public square. Dave McGrogan asks, "Is the state your single source of truth?"
If there's one clear lesson that has been learned over the past year and a half, it's that the authoritarians assuring us that "We're all in this together" were actually in it for themselves. John Tierney explains how fear-mongering from journalists, scientists and politicians did more harm than the coronavirus did.
Power-hungry government officials aren't about to let the Covid crisis end. Brad Polumbo points out how their chanting in unison about the delta variant is just another excuse to impose more control over the populace.
Allan Stevo always has something worth considering. His latest essay warns to beware of the modernizers. These are the folks who take what could be a blessing and they use it to squeeze control out of others. This is such a powerful read.

Valuing truth over comfort is never easy. One of the biggest places we see this in action is in how some people reaction to ideas that challenge their preconceptions. Want to be a person who can apprehend, apply and carry the truth to others? Don't hide inside a mental bunker that limits your ability to seek truth.
Ever find yourself referring to others in dehumanizing terms? It's easier to do than most of us would like to admit. Clifton Ross has an enlightening take on the language of totalitarian dehumanization and how it blinds us to the abuse of others.
If justice is based in the concept that any measurable harm should include a kind of fair recompense, then why are federal officials trying so hard to make examples of the defendants of Jan 6? Why seek prison terms for people charged with trespassing?
With all the spending being done at the national level, are we sure we're getting the best bang for our buck? Brian Riedl says it's time to lower the federal gas tax to improve infrastructure.
If you are among the vaccine "hesitant", you're not alone. We're roughly 1/4 of the population but were still numerous enough that we can't be rounded up and re-educated. Eric Peters has a question for the willing: If you're not willing to draw your line in the sand now regarding vaccines, at what point would you be willing to draw it?
