Commenting on just this part: If you torture a man for 14 years and he dies a month later, you don’t say he died of natural causes. Good grief. What’s under the ellipsis – “the Devil or” – mocks the truth.

Craig Murray in the UK has written extensively about the incarceration and trials of Julian Assange. About the publication of the unredacted documents see "Julian Assange’s Grand Inquisitor" by Chris Hedges. But what the WSJ (mainstream media beholden to the Deep State) says as well as the above is irrelevant. The CIA is in large part a pack of murders – good riddance to bad rubbish.

Video on this page. (Start viewing at 1:30 because the video begins with an excerpt which you will see later in its place.) She did a great job, very impressive.

That’s what the man said, John Galt Mortgage Company. It’s my understanding you need the copyright holder’s permission to use the name of a character in their novel if you associate the nature of the character with how you use the name. In this case the company’s website contains the text: “... we’ll send you our favorite quotes about entrepreneurship, economic freedom, and individual liberty.” And they say "Go Galt" to get you to use their service. If I were the copyright holder of Atlas I’d be annoyed. The same is true – so I thought – for the title of a book instead of the name of a character in the book, as in the case of Richard Minns and his “Atlas Shrugged” sculptures. A band called “Rush” did this with Anthem, but that book is in the public domain.

tadmjones, Thanks for the link. Mark Steyn reports on a paper from Japan that provides evidence that not only was the original covid virus man-made, so were the variants. The authors seem to be reputable but of course such an extraordinary claim needs to be backed up by other reputable researchers.

The Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex (video, 26 minutes) a talk by Dr. Peter McCullough. He says that covid and the covid vaccines were a military operation and both were intended to cause injury and death.

Interview With Gail Macrae (26 minute video) This is one of the best exposés of the covid vaccine featuring a nurse. Also, this particular nurse is going after the perps in court.

InfraBeat makes some good points. Also ... A theory being consistent with the facts by itself hardly suggests that the theory is true – or anyway only to an infinitesimal degree. It is no reason to place Kaczynski on the moral high ground. By the way, from reading a few articles about Kaczynski he doesn’t impress me as a genius. It’s a common mistake among non-mathematicians to think that a mathematician must be a genius.

How does it suggest that? (I agree that if his victims were among the perpetrators of MKUltra then they deserved what they got.)

tadmjones link is to a 9 minute video of Dr. john Campbell pointing out that excess deaths across the world remain high. In the UK, where he is, it is 9.4% above normal.

I believe the people I mentioned are reputable for the usual reasons – and AlexL knows full well what those reasons are: Their credentials, their past, their manner, their logical presentation, is what they say consistent with itself, is what they say consistent with what I know, etc. All this is obvious. AlexL is engaging in “How do you know that you know?” ==> “You can’t know anything.” ==> “You are wrong.” baloney. He writes: “PS: some illustrious names are missing, like William Scott Ritter, John Mark Dougan and other darlings of the Russia’s governmental media...” – what a nasty piece of work is this AlexL.

AlexL, I must rely on reputable commentators who are able to sort through the news lies, and in my considered opinion such are Col. Douglas Macgregor (ret.), John Mearsheimer, Ray McGovern, and Seymour Hersh. In the first third of Macgregor’s latest (May 3) interview he talks about the war and says the Ukraine battle losses are ten times those of Russia: A massive Russian offensive is terminating Ukraine

Looks like it has been extended again, from May 3, 2023 to May 7, 2025. See same link as before, or https://www.dhs.gov/news/2022/12/05/dhs-announces-extension-real-id-full-enforcement-deadline

Thanks. Here it is again (it's too late to edit the original post): Alexandria Latypova on the Manufacture and Distribution of the Spike Vax Why it is more poisonous at one time than at another, and how it was designed, manufactured, and distributed under military control.

“As part of the Autonomous Diagnostics to Enable Prevention and Therapeutics (ADEPT) program in 2011, DARPA began investing in nucleic acid vaccines. The hypothesis was that rather than delivering antigens to the immune system, we could deliver genes that encode the antigen and allow the human body to produce the antigen from its own cells, triggering a protective immune response. In December 2020, former ADEPT performer Moderna’s RNA vaccine received FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval for the prevention of COVID-19.” Alexandria Latypova on the Manufacture and Distribution of the Spike Vax Why it is more poisonous at one time than at another, and how it was designed, manufactured, and distributed under military control.

Little known and ignored among Dewey apologists, in 1928 – between the first and second editions of German Philosophy and Politics – Dewey visited Russia with a view to examining Soviet culture, especially its educational aspects. Later, apparently based on a journal he had kept during his visit, he wrote half a dozen articles for The New Republic magazine, gushing with praise for what he had seen. Later he collected the articles, along with further essays on Mexico, Turkey, and China, into a book published in 1929: Impressions of Soviet Russia and the revolutionary world

As I write, the video isn’t showing in my browser but I guess you are referring to Navigating Schisms in the Objectivist Movement The Ayn Rand Institute recently put up an article about the same subject: Of Schisms, Public and Private by Onkar Ghate & Harry Binswanger Quoting the article: “ARI, founded three years after Rand’s death, did not and does not pretend to be a spokesman for Ayn Rand or Objectivism.” HAH! Setting aside the name of the organization there are many examples. For example, in November 2017 they published “The Anti-Intellectuality of Donald Trump: Why Ayn Rand Would Have Despised a President Trump” and reprinted in October 2019, re-titled “Why Ayn Rand Would Have Despised a President Trump.” It begins by saying no one can speak for the dead then proceeds to speak for the dead. Again: “ARI strives to maintain high intellectual and moral standards.” What then was it doing associating with Carl Barney? He was on the Board of Directors and Yaron Brook defended Scientology while he was donating to ARI, then excoriated Scientology when he stopped donating. And never a word about his trade school fraud. Why then does ARI still associate with Richard Minns? Peikoff allows him to use the trademark “Atlas Shrugged” in connection with his Atlas Shrugged themed sculptures. At any rate neither he nor anyone at ARI oebjects to it, when they should be objecting loudly and publicly.

If so, their immunity from liability is toast. Two video interviews of Edward Dowd, a former investment manager at Blackrock: Short interview conducted by the gravelly-voiced Alex Jones. Longer interview conducted by Kristi Leigh.

It sounds like textbook rationalism. Sure, to some extent Trump is guided by his emotions, ditto here, but do you want to say he does not think? Do you remember Rand writing that if anything saves America it will be her sense of life? And isn’t – this is me now – a sense of life in large part emotional? Though I wouldn’t attribute the best sense of life to Trump his is not bad. (We are talking about 2016 and 2020. For 2024 I hope Ron Desantis or Ron Johnson runs and gets the Republican nomination.)

About how Binswanger voted in 2016, the following is from “The American Spirit”: Back in June [2016] Harry Binswanger published on his website the article “Contra Trump,” proclaiming to his followers “I will either not vote, or vote for Hillary.” At some point he made up his mind which of the two because the evening before the election (held November 8th) he posted to his “Harry Binswanger Letter” (HBL) a last minute plea for everyone to vote for Hillary. Near the end of March of next year [2017] Mr. Binswanger posted a comment about the election to the blog of Robert Paul Wolff, professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts. Because he knew Rand personally he feels he can speak in her name (he has done this repeatedly – see his entry in “Who’s Who” on this website for another example). In fact probably Rand would have liked much about Trump, especially compared to Hillary. Here is what Mr. Binswanger posted, and recall that this is after Trump had nominated a conservative Supreme Court justice: “Rand (whom I knew well personally) would have loathed Trump. All the leading Objectivist intellectuals do. I voted for Hillary.”

Yesterday Amy featured Leonard Peikoff on her podcast. He's late to the party but better late than never: https://rumble.com/vuv5ak-leonard-peikoff-salutes-the-truckers.html On all the issues of the title of this post he differs from the so-called Ayn Rand Institute.

So far I’ve listened to about a third of the show and thought I’d write up some thoughts before they fly away. The lady’s voice provided aural variety which is good. Rand’s advice is substantially outdated. I never thought I’d live to see the out-in-the-open corruption taking place, and the police state measures that have been installed, in the last year or so. We have reached the point where being nice is ineffective against some injustices, such as “mandates.” The truckers have the right idea. Yaron Brook, on a recent podcast, said he opposed the truckers because they were violating property rights by blocking the roads. As the saying goes, I am not making this up. He realized he had a problem with the Boston Tea Party of 1773 (the Colonials involved weren’t too fastidious about property rights), maybe a listener brought up that comparison. So he blathered on about how today’s situation is different, today it’s not a question of tyrants and revolution. Well it is and it’s obvious. By the way, why insert a clip of Brook saying today is worse than years ago? We need him to tell us that? He has been helping make today worse for over 20 years. There are many examples. He claims there is no evidence of election fraud in 2020. “No evidence, zero evidence” is an exact quote.
