Dear Legislator: My name is Tetyana Obukhanych.  I hold a Ph.D. in Immunology.  I am writing this letter in the hope that it will correct several common misperceptions about vaccines in order to help you formulate a fair and balanced understanding that is supported by accepted vaccine theory and new scientific findings. Do unvaccinated children pose a higher threat to the public than the vaccinated? It is often stated that those who choose not to vaccinate their children for reasons of conscience endanger the rest of the public, and this is the rationale behind most of the legislation to end … Continue reading →

I’m constantly amazed by the ability of those in power to create a narrative trusted by a gullible non-critical thinking populace. Appealing to emotions, when you have millions of functionally illiterate, normalcy bias ensnared, iGadget distracted, disciples of the status quo, has been the game plan of the Deep State for the last century. Americans don’t want to think, because thinking is hard. They would rather feel. For decades the government controlled public education system has performed a mass lobotomy on their hapless matriculates, removing their ability to think and replacing it with feelings, fabricated dogma, and social indoctrination. Their … Continue reading →

The post The Horror appeared first on LewRockwell.

While we all start our day with brushing our teeth, most of us don’t really pay attention when we’re brushing. We brush distractedly, thinking about other things like to-do lists or weekend plans. Of course, when some oral problem crops up and we have to visit the dentist, oral hygiene comes into focus and for the next week or two, we typically brush carefully until we slip back into mechanical brushing, thinking that everything is good. But that may not always be the case. The problem that started in the mouth may have spread to other important organs in the … Continue reading →

Bear with me for a moment, because what I’m about to say will be grim at first, but I assure you that it has a strange and perhaps hilarious payoff. I want you to imagine for moment, what your life might be like after a nuclear war. Put yourself in the place of someone who is clinging to a meager existence after the complete and utter collapse of society. It’s been several weeks since you emerged from your basement or fallout shelter. You are now just scraping by in a desolate community that you once called home. Your body aches … Continue reading →

“You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984 Supposedly the National Security Administration is going to stop collecting certain internet communications that merely mention a foreign intelligence target. Privacy advocates are hailing it as a major victory for Americans whose communications have been caught in the NSA’s dragnet. If this is a victory, it’s a hollow victory. Here’s why. Since its creation in 1952, when President Harry S. Truman issued a secret executive order establishing the NSA as the hub of the government’s … Continue reading →

The looming threat of World War III, a potential extermination event for the human species, is made more likely because the world’s public can’t count on supposedly objective experts to ascertain and evaluate facts. Instead, careerism is the order of the day among journalists, intelligence analysts and international monitors – meaning that almost no one who might normally be relied on to tell the truth can be trusted. The dangerous reality is that this careerism, which often is expressed by a smug certainty about whatever the prevailing groupthink is, pervades not just the political world, where lies seem to be … Continue reading →

The post Whom To Trust appeared first on LewRockwell.

As prepper’s it is easy to focus on being prepared to defend what is ours when situations get dire following a disruptive event.  The reality, however, is that dangerous situations are a part of everyday life. This includes visits to the local ATM, a drive down a busy freeway, or any seemingly mundane situation that involves waiting in a crowded line. It is important to recognize that avoiding deadly situations should be the rule and not the exception.  Watch Your Back: How to Avoid the Most Dangerous Moments in Daily Life, by Roger Eckstine, will prepare you for both everyday … Continue reading →

The post Surviving a Knife Attack appeared first on LewRockwell.

The title for this post is a quote often attributed to Leonid Brezhnev or sometimes to Stalin, but like many pithy quotes, its origins are unknown. It was most likely a quick shorthand for the view of the Soviets, during the Brezhnev era, that their sacrifices in the war entitled them to hold the satellite countries of Eastern Europe. The rhetoric of the Soviets, particularly with regards to the third world, could never be squared with the fact that they held a sizable chunk of Europe captive, but they somehow found a way to justify it. It is also a useful … Continue reading →

The post What We Have, We Hold appeared first on LewRockwell.

When we discuss international trade and balance of payments, there are two types of accounts. There is the current account, which includes goods and services imported and exported and receives the most political attention. In 2016, the American people imported $479 billion worth of goods and services from Chinese producers, and we sold $170 billion worth of goods and services to Chinese customers. That made for a $309 billion current account deficit. In other words, we purchase more goods and services from Chinese producers than Chinese consumers purchase from American producers. How much of a problem is it when there … Continue reading →

Trump supposedly stepped in it. Again. In an interview that aired Monday with Salena Zito, he wondered aloud that if better leadership could have prevented the Civil War [sic]. Trump thought that Andrew Jackson would have prevailed in a showdown between the North and the South. After all, he did it before in the 1830s. Trump then said this: “He [Jackson] was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said, ‘There’s no reason for this.’” Trump followed up by committing the most heinous of all heinous acts. He questioned if the Civil … Continue reading →

An FBI agent with top-secret security clearance turned rogue and traveled to Syria to marry a wanted ISIL fighter she had been assigned to investigate, it has emerged. Daniela Greene, who worked as a translator for the agency, had used social media to spy on German jihadist Denis Cuspert, a former rapper who had gone by the moniker Deso Dogg. Cuspert was a prolific online recruiter for the group, who gained a reputation as one of its most brutal foreign fighters. He featured in the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) videos threatening the then president Barack Obama … Continue reading →
