On Saturday, I was a guest at KFAR radio in Fairbanks, Alaska. The in-depth interview with hosts Joshua Bennett, Michael Anderson, and David Giessel started with discussion of my March 30 article “The Vaccine Passport Propaganda Template” and then moved on to other matters related to the new vaccine passport mandates threat and the coronavirus crackdowns that, over the last year, have plagued Americans and people across the world. read on...
On March 19, I wrote about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaking out strongly against vaccine passport mandates, which are being considered in America in the name of countering coronavirus. Here is an update. On Friday, DeSantis signed an executive order to make Florida the first state to prohibit the use of vaccine passports. read on...
This is like something out of a Three Stooges movie. “Human error” is being blamed for contamination of Johnson & Johnson experimental coronavirus vaccine being produced at a Baltimore, Maryland, manufacturing plant that resulted in 15 million doses having to be thrown away. And the error sure is a doozy. read on...
What is the libertarian approach to coronavirus? Like the libertarian approach to many things, the libertarian approach to coronavirus can be summed up in the French phrase laissez-faire.
Several decades back, Ayn Rand told an illustrative story about the laissez-faire answer to intervention-happy bureaucrats and politicians in her essay “Let Us Alone!” in the book Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal.

Good for Governor Ron DeSantis. In sharp contrast with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo who recently imposed “vaccine passport” requirements for people in New York to attend certain events, DeSantis is standing up for freedom and against the imposing of vaccine passports in Florida. read on...

Over the last few weeks, coronavirus crackdown mandates, including mask wearing requirements, have been rolled back in several states. But, in Alaska, the state Senate is proceeding with a looney and pernicious crackdown on one of its own members because she has not fully complied with a list of coronavirus-related rules for the capitol. The rules, including required mask wearing, are supposedly purposed to counter coronavirus. read on...
I’ve enjoyed watching the occasional Texas Rangers game at the team’s Arlington, Texas, stadium over the last few years — until Major League Baseball, along with much of the rest of America, went off the rails in a supposed effort to counter coronavirus. read on...
Lew Rockwell does not hold back in his recent interview at RT. Rockwell, who founded the Ludwig von Mises Institute and runs the website LewRockwell.com, calls out the United States government for its murdering of people around the world, both directly through means including fighting wars and indirectly through means including providing military weapons to governments including Saudi Arabia. read on...
Some politicians can’t stop coming up with new ways of bossing people around and preventing the return of normal life, all in the name of countering coronavirus. A prime example of such coronavirus tyrants is New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. read on...
