Learning to think for yourself requires a conscious decision. Propaganda is all around us and, as Caitlin Johnstone points out, maturity is realizing that it isn't just something that happens to other people. We have to propaganda-proof ourselves.
It seems as though every tyrannical mandate that have been imposed around the world is being implemented in the name of public health. Frank Furedi has an excellent article on the tyranny of public health and how it's being used to justify technocratic control over nearly every aspect of our lives.
The newly 'woke' U.S. military is in a unique and unenviable position these days. Andrew Bacevich asks the question: How awesome is 'awesome'? The answer is going to smart, for some folks, but we can't go on pretending that our military's number one job is keeping us free.

Trusted voices are few and far between these days but we need them now more than ever. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has been a voice of reason so many times throughout the past two years. He reminds us that we cannot stop the spread of Covid but we can end the pandemic.
If there were any doubts that the lockdowns were politically motivated, we now have documentation. Thomas L. Knapp explains how Francis Collin's emails spotlight the bureaucracy's attempted subjugation of science and scientists.
Whether you recognize it or not, freedom is at stake in a way that it hasn't been for some time. It's not just a matter of voting the right people into office. It's about people who understand what their rights are and what constitutes proper government. Few people explain this better than Leonard E. Read.

Resisting the urge to give in to the official fear frenzy requires conscious effort. Dr. Mark Sircus advises that we focus on spreading love, not fear, during the holiday season.
Heaven help the person who sneezes or coughs in public these days. Some folks will look at you like you're actively trying to murder the people around you. Chris Bateman poses the question: Is our duty to avoid harm unlimited? That's something that we need to answer before using force to mandate that others do something.
It's been nearly 3 decades since Bill Clinton opined that, "You can't say you love your country and hate your government." During that time, the blinders have come off for many of who have learned for ourselves that, as J.B. Shurk says, America is much more than its government.

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos stops by for a cup of holiday cheer and some lively conversation. No matter how hard the bureaucratic grinches try to stir up panic, we're going to find reasons to celebrate instead.
It's entirely possible that I'm missing something here but the fearful tone that politicians and the media are taking over the omicron variant of Covid seems disproportionate to the harm it is doing. Ron Paul says this wave of fear represents the lockdowners' last stand and their desperation to hang on to power.
Not be be a damper on the festive spirit of the season but you probably know someone whose suffering is acute at this time of year. Maybe you're the one who's suffering. Annie Holmquist has an empowering essay on surviving suffering like a champ.

To illustrate the depth of the scientific divide over Covid lockdowns and vaccines, take a closer look at Fauci, emails and some alleged science regarding the Great Barrington Declaration. Phillip W. Magness and James Harrington have some eye-opening evidence regarding how far the powers that be are willing to go to silence dissenters.
A lot of public health "experts" seem to think they can control a virus. Jordan Schachtel says, in reality, these experts in government and academia are exposing themselves as clueless charlatans who want to control the rest of us.
The people and systems that seek to rule us work overtime to convince us that they're simply responding to what we really want. Paul Rosenberg warns not to believe them and he describes why we'll be so much better without them.
Going to college used to be the key to a brighter future. Unfortunately, a college degree just doesn't open the doors it once did. Peter Clark has a compelling explanation of why college degrees are losing their value.
The question that should be on our minds as 2021 draws to a close: where do we go from here? Thomas Luongo describes what it's like finding strength along a post-Covid Fury Road and reminds us to remember who broke the world in the first place.

For all the times we've heard or recited the words "liberty and justice for all", few people really stop to think about what those words mean. Jeffrey A. Tucker from the Brownstone institute asks, what happened to liberty and justice for all and why should it matter?
People still talk about things like individual liberty and the rule of law but the slogans we use seem to be lacking credibility. Roger Kimball explains the freedom facade and how we've become untethered from reality.
As wrongthinkers, we tend to be less concerned with the approval of the crowd. Even so, it's sobering to consider what is considered mainstream thought today. J.B. Shurk has a great essay on what you must believe as an American in 2021.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were ever to look around you and come to the conclusion that legitimate tyranny was at your doorstep, would you make the mistake of playing tyrant's game? Jeff Thompson warns that you can play a tyrant's game but you still lose.
Even if you're not a fan of Ayn Rand, her novel Atlas Shrugged foreshadowed some of the abusive policy-making that we're seeing today. For those who are serious about telling leviathan "no", Thomas Luongo says it's time for all good men to stop fearing John Galt.
Do you believe that most people tend to either live up or down to our expectations of them? Kent McManigal says it's essential that we let people make their own choices rather than try to micromanage them--for their own good. After all, it's the only way we can grow into functional members of society instead of remaining forever children.
Looking at the way various nations reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic, it's clear that not everyone went full authoritarian. Bryan Caplan says that by measuring overreaction, we can be grateful that not everyone went the way of Australia.
I've known a few folks who've had to deal with peripheral neuropathy but I was surprised to learn that nearly 20 million Americans suffer from this kind of progressive nerve damage. Shamis Tate from Pure Health joins me to explain the problem as well as a drug-free solution for treating it. For more information you can call (435)442-4848

The danger of being misled by misinformation is real. Unfortunately, the ones who do most of the misleading are the very people working overtime to "protect us" from misinformation. Glenn Greenwald reports on the real disinformation agents and provides a textbook example of how they're doing it.
Are states with greater freedom less safe? For that matter, are people flocking to Texas, Florida and Idaho so they can feel less safe? These are among the questions posed by Casey Carlisle who convincingly explains why if you want to be safe, then leave people alone.
Along those same lines, here's a great essay from Joakim Book on the virtues of leaving people alone. It's a great reminder that most of the things we get wound up over are things we choose to let upset us.

After nearly two straight years of rapidly deepening authoritarianism, there's a sense that resistance is beginning to solidify. Jeffrey A. Tucker explains how Elon Musk being named as Time magazine's Person of the Year is an encouraging sign, given Musk's recent outspokenness against that rising tide.
We're all familiar with the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. However, the less of that story seems lost on most of our elected officials. Walter Gelles has an interesting take on why no politician dares to utter the obvious: "The emperor has no clothes."
Maybe it's just the accumulated stress and strain of the past 2 years but I find myself focusing in on this Christmas season much more than in years past. The commercial trappings of Christmas are fun but Judge Andrew Napolitano says that taking Christmas seriously is a matter of humility, charity and willingness to submit to God's will.
When words are overused or abused, they lose their power. Steve Feinstein has a great commentary on the abuse of the words "heroes, racists, and Hitler" and how these words are becoming meaningless.
One of the biggest sources of conflict and contention is the continual overreach of federal power over our state and local governments. George Leef explores the question of how do the feds get away with that?

It's curious how hard some people are willing to exert themselves in order find reasons to believe in the state. What's happening to Julian Assange is a perfect example of this. For the Assange case explained simply, Caitlin Johnstone gets right to the heart of the matter. A very worthwhile read.
If you haven't been following Dr. Peter McCullough, he offers a principled and informed counterpoint to those pushing the official response to Covid. In fact, his recent interview with Joe Rogan is causing serious heartburn for the Covid narrative managers. Especially when Dr. McCullough describes how doctors worldwide were restricted in how they could treat Covid patients.
If you've ever read Thomas Jefferson's writings, it's not hard to see why he is widely considered the architect of liberty in America. That's why it's a safe bet that the history erasers will be coming for his statutes sooner than later. Paul Krause has an excellent essay in praise of Thomas Jefferson and why his legacy of freedom must be erased by the historical revisionists.
