Many many moons ago, as an opinion columnist for my university newspaper, I was repeatedly called in to the editor's office and chastised for my "one note" columns. According to my editorial overlords, I was just too dang obsessed with state power, surveillance, censorship, and first amendment rights. (If you want to journey through the time machine to read some of my outraged ravings, here's one that is particularly amusing and ironic given that 1) I wound up at Harvard and 2) these days I now more or less agree with Larry Summers' infamous comments. If that's not a lesson in the importance of free and open discourse, I don't know what is.) https://www.dailyuw.com/opinion/article_167f20b3-f557-5cf9-aa05-0ca534cb8fec.html Well, same problem, different administration. And it's far worse now than it was 15 years ago, simply because the capacity of the surveillance state has increased in step with the amount of information we constantly (and freely, willingly, happily) hand over through our daily activities. This week Dr. Lisle and I discuss the union of state and corporate power to manage Covid "misinformation" and why it's not really about Covid at all, and why we should be worried as hell about it. I once again plot to move off grid, even though it isn't really possible anymore.

In this episode Doug and I chat with Dr. Peter Rogers about everything from environmental toxins that get ignored or downplayed by the mainstream plant based world (fluoride, endocrine disruptors, EMFs, atrazine, soy, etc); the anti-fertility/depopulation and IQ-lowering agenda; the hyper-feminization of society and the erosion of gender roles; why we’re at a fork in the road between Christian revival and communism; how “atheistic darwinism” undermines the natural rights enumerated by the founders among other problems, and what (if anything) any of us can do about any of it.
