By now it should be clear that governments use global crises in order to take more control over our lives. Doug Casey says, sometimes the crisis may be real but the current crop of opportunists and power-seekers may have finally overplayed their hand.
Not to sound dramatic but the phrase "winter is coming" has a whole different feel given some of the things beginning to take shape around us. CJ Hopkins warns that the folks determined to impose the new normal on us are trying to whip us into a state of mass hysteria over a virus. We don't have to fight them head on, we just have to refuse to abandon our principles until the Spring arrives.
Have you been convinced that everything that came before us was wrong? Anthony J. DeBlasi reminds us that the mindless attempt to remake America is nothing more than run-of-the-mill Marxism seeking to dethrone thousands of years of Divine wisdom.
Laws for thee but not for me? Many of us breathed a sigh of relief when a federal court last week put the brakes on the Biden administration's vax mandates for employers. Now the White House is telling businesses to ignore that court order. Jon Miltimore spells out why such action is incompatible with properly limited government.

With our divisions so deep that we clearly have two nations living within the same borders, perhaps the time has come for a conscious decoupling. Max Borders makes a strong case that it's time for America to break up, albeit peacefully.
The fanatical intensity with which the "woke" proselytize the rest of us can accurately described as a kind of religious fervor. Michael Shellenberger has a fascinating article--complete with visual aids--that beautifully illustrates why wokeness is a religion. Maybe it's time to revisit the separation of church and state on this matter.

For those who haven't already noticed the growing supply chain breakdowns, just give it a few more weeks. Kent McManigal rightly reminds us that the supply chain problem is a government problem.
Maybe it's just a sense of weariness at the nonstop wokeness that typifies most higher education campuses but I seriously wonder why any ration person would aspire to going to college. James Bovard is a two time drop-out with a decisive answer to the question: Is college worthwhile? Perhaps it's time to call out higher education for its bad behavior.
A lot of Americans are waking up to the reality that the more they have in common with George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, the more they are fair game to be demonized. Steve Sailer has an excellent analysis of why core Americans are being painted as the source of all evil who must be made to pay.

I happened to catch a bit of the Kyle Rittenhouse trial yesterday and accidentally witnessed one of the most stunning courtroom exchanges I've ever seen. Tucker Carlson hits the highlights in this video and it was definitely one for the history books. The vindictiveness of the prosecution is nothing short of disgraceful. It makes this trial look like anything but a quest for justice.
The Rittenhouse trial is a marvelous teaching opportunity about a couple of important topics. One is the natural right of self defense. The other is need for people to take personal responsibility in protecting their communities rather than simply outsourcing this to the state. Christopher Roach has an excellent piece on the need for citizenship and courage.
If you're serious about understanding how the world works, economists are your friend. For example, if Raymond J. March hadn't written about how the FDA is coming after "Smart Socks" which monitor a baby's pulse and oxygen levels while it sleeps, how would we have known about its latest crusade?

The recent COP26 climate meeting in Scotland was quite the gathering of world leaders who seem very concerned about our carbon footprints. Not concerned enough to ride bikes there or to take a sailboat but, yeah, real concerned. Connor Tomlinson asks, will this meeting simply bring us more eco-authoritarianism? Pat Buchanan also has a great recap of the climate crusade and what it may mean for the rest of us.
The desire to stand against tyranny and for freedom isn't just a political itch that needs scratching. Many of us feel a distinct call to resist the tyrannical spell that has been cast over the world. One of the most impressive invitations to answer that call comes from Margaret Anna Alice in her Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny. There's a lot of great information in this essay.
Anybody remember Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who was told to "bake the cake" for a same sex wedding party? Lawrence M. Vance reminds us that Jack's battle over control of his private property (his business) is still going on and seems to have been forgotten in the wake of forced vaccinations, masking, etc.

There's no doubt that the last 20 months or so have been very difficult. Still, there are some positive aspects and opportunities for those willing to seek them. Jeffrey A. Tucker writes about the war we've lived and the birth of the new. I felt far more encouraged after reading this essay.
To further drive home the idea that all is not lost, Check out Chloe Anagnos' latest column on how the lockdowns were a disaster but they may have rekindled Americans' entrepreneurial spirit. It's good to be reminded that our greatest innovations are usually born out of necessity.

It's a sad truth that most of us become accustomed to being regulated and governed in every facet of our lives because it's all we've ever known. Brian Wilson has a handy tool for helping to open people's' eyes to the reality of everyday tyranny. It's a little game called "Name 2 Things."
How far do you trust your doctor's judgment? James Howard Kunstler relates how he lost his faith in his physician and came to the conclusion that medicine wants to kill you. His story is one to make you carefully consider how you choose your personal doctor.
When it comes to connecting the dots and making the bigger picture come into focus, Brandon Smith is an excellent writer. His latest column on the courageous L.A. County Sheriff telling the truth about vax mandates is an excellent read.

Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos stops by to talk current events. We talk about risk reversal and how the various mandates are creating division where there was none before.
The Kyle Rittenhouse trial took a surprising turn for the positive when the prosecution's key witness admitted on the stand that he was shot in the arm only after he pointed his handgun at Rittenhouse. This case could have some far-reaching implications for self defense law moving forward. It's also noteworthy that a George Floyd activist claims that jurors for the case are being tracked and photographed to ensure the "right" verdict is reached.
The most difficult thing that most of us will ever be asked to do is to provide leadership to the people around us. Why is it so daunting? Chris Brady explains that we often have a distorted view of what leadership is. If you're determined to use your influence wisely, no matter where you are, you'll appreciate Brady's take on this subject.

The decision of how and why to make a stand is looming over a lot of workers right now. Jeffrey A. Tucker explains how the vax mandate on businesses is intensifying our national crisis. Where exactly it will lead, no one is entirely sure.
Lenore Skenazy is one of my favorite parenting experts. Her latest column says let's hear it for risky playgrounds. She makes a surprisingly strong case for the positive effects of teaching children how to handle risk.
It's probably just the stage of life that I'm in but I find much more happiness in family than I once did. Paul Bloom has an enlightening article on what becoming a parent really does to your happiness. I appreciate that he doesn't try to pretend it's a one-size-fits-all kind of answer.
Standing up to the 'woke' crowd isn't as easy as it sounds. Steve Rose pulls aside the curtain to reveal the fatal flaw of wokeism--it's a fraud. None of us should feel the slightest shame for politely declining to allow a finger-wagging cult to impose its morality on us.
The current push to vaccinate children between 5 and 11 years old is as baffling as it is unnecessary. Vasko Kohlmayer asks and answers the question as to why some are so intent on vaccinating children against Covid-19. He also makes a strong case why there's no medical justification.
How cool would it be to choose the type of government under which you wish to live, rather than having it forced upon you by a majority? Thomas L. Knapp has an interesting take on how the metaverse may just be opening the door to panarchy and unanimous consent.

Most people would likely aspire to stand against tyranny, as long as it's not too uncomfortable. Barry Brownstein's latest essay is a must read. He clearly spells out how resisting tyranny depends on the courage not to conform.
The level of vaccine authoritarianism that has become normalized in our daily life would be shocking, if viewed from the vantage point of just two short years ago. Max Borders has an excellent article explaining how our current vax mandates are a modern version of bootleggers & Baptists from just a few generations ago.
