With Netflix under the microscope of the entire world in regards to its release of a film that blatantly sexualizes children , CNN found itself talking to the CEO of the company Thursday , yet failed to ask one single question about the matter , instead lavishing praise on the company for championing “ diversity ” .
Netflix co-CEO Reed Hastings was interviewed on CNN by Newsroom co-anchor Poppy Harlow , who stuck to scripted questions that amounted to nothing more than an infomercial for the guy ’ s new book about Netflix ’ s corporate structure .
At one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more diverse programming then other streaming services .
Of course , very few people expect actual journalism out of CNN at this point , but it is inextricable to believe that the network was unaware of the global headlines concerning Netflix while its CEO was in their newsroom .
The streaming company is facing a mass boycott over the premiere of the film ‘ Cuties ’ , which contains almost nude children twerking , in addition to a litany of other disturbing content that IMDB has warned is “ lawfully defined as pedophilia.

We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description. — Netflix (@netflix) August 20, 2020

newswars--2020-09-11--Petition To Prosecute Pelosi Draws Thousands Of Signatures

A petition to prosecute Nancy Pelosi for violating Covid-19 regulations by visiting a hair salon in San Fransisco has attracted thousands of signatures in just 24 hours .
At time of writing , the petition hosted at media action network has garnered close to 25,000 signatures .
Laws aren ’ t just for the “ little people.
” Not only did Nancy Pelosi knowingly violate health ordinances , but just destroyed a business because she couldn ’ t take a ounce of responsibility .
The salon owner gets death threats , while Pelosi has paid ZERO price for her hypocrisy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pelosi must be prosecuted by San Francisco for her flaunting of COVID regulations .
Now !
The footage of Pelosi was leaked last week , showing her walking around the salon without a face mask .
All the while ‘ ordinary ’ people are not even allowed to go to hair appointments because salons are still all closed in SF under coronavirus rules .
After several days , instead of apologising , Pelosi claimed that she had been “ set up ” by the owner of the salon .
“ I take responsibility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ salon that I ’ ve been to over the years many times , and when they said , ‘ We ’ re able to accommodate people one person at a time.
’ I trusted that , ” Pelosi told reporters .
“ So I take responsibility for falling for a setup .
And that ’ s all I ’ m going to say on that , ” Pelosi declared , even adding “ I think that this salon owes me an apology , for setting me up.
” If ever there was a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rule for them , another for everyone else ’ applied , it is here .
Pelosi ’ s reaction also betrays how over privileged and out of touch Democrats have become .
Protesters have taken to decorating trees outside Pelosi ’ s home with curlers and blow dryers : Meanwhile , the owner of the salon has been forced to shut down the business permanently .
“ I am actually done in San Francisco and closing my doors , unfortunately , ” Erica Kious announced Wednesday .
“ I started to just get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ messages , emails , all my Yelp reviews… saying that they hope I go under and that I fail , ” Kious explained , adding “ So just a lot of negativity towards my business.
” “ I ’ m actually afraid to go back , just because of the messages and emails I ’ ve been getting , ” she continued , explaining that “ It ’ s a little scary and sad .
I do have a lot of positive calls and text messages from clients , but other than that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ page to help Kious has so far raised over $ 336,000 .
Since the incident came to light , Pelosi has continued to hammer President Trump over the coronavirus response , claiming that he isn ’ t taking it seriously enough , and didn ’ t act quickly enough back in February and March .
The reality is that Trump was intent on closing the borders and pushing for travel bans , against the will of Democrats , at the end of January , while Pelosi and others were still encouraging mass gatherings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about blocking coronavirus funding , while gorging on ice cream from inside her luxurious mansion .

A petition to prosecute Nancy Pelosi for violating Covid-19 regulations by visiting a hair salon in San Fransisco has attracted thousands of signatures in just 24 hours.
At time of writing, the petition hosted at media action network has garnered close to 25,000 signatures.
The petition, addressed to SF Police Chief William Scot, states:
Laws aren’t just for the “little people.” Not only did Nancy Pelosi knowingly violate health ordinances, but just destroyed a business because she couldn’t take a ounce of responsibility. The salon owner gets death threats, while Pelosi has paid ZERO price for her hypocrisy. At a very minimum, Nancy Pelosi must be prosecuted by San Francisco for her flaunting of COVID regulations. Now!
The footage of Pelosi was leaked last week, showing her walking around the salon without a face mask. All the while ‘ordinary’ people are not even allowed to go to hair appointments because salons are still all closed in SF under coronavirus rules.
After several days, instead of apologising, Pelosi claimed that she had been “set up” by the owner of the salon.
“I take responsibility for trusting the word of the neighborhood salon that I’ve been to over the years many times, and when they said, ‘We’re able to accommodate people one person at a time.’ I trusted that,” Pelosi told reporters.
“So I take responsibility for falling for a setup. And that’s all I’m going to say on that,” Pelosi declared, even adding “I think that this salon owes me an apology, for setting me up.”
If ever there was a time when the old adage ‘one rule for them, another for everyone else’ applied, it is here. Pelosi’s reaction also betrays how over privileged and out of touch Democrats have become.
Protesters have taken to decorating trees outside Pelosi’s home with curlers and blow dryers:

Meanwhile, the owner of the salon has been forced to shut down the business permanently.
“I am actually done in San Francisco and closing my doors, unfortunately,” Erica Kious announced Wednesday.
“I started to just get a ton of phone calls, text messages, emails, all my Yelp reviews… saying that they hope I go under and that I fail,” Kious explained, adding “So just a lot of negativity towards my business.”
“I’m actually afraid to go back, just because of the messages and emails I’ve been getting,” she continued, explaining that “It’s a little scary and sad. I do have a lot of positive calls and text messages from clients, but other than that, nothing but negativity.”
A GoFundMe page to help Kious has so far raised over $336,000.
Since the incident came to light, Pelosi has continued to hammer President Trump over the coronavirus response, claiming that he isn’t taking it seriously enough, and didn’t act quickly enough back in February and March.
The reality is that Trump was intent on closing the borders and pushing for travel bans, against the will of Democrats, at the end of January, while Pelosi and others were still encouraging mass gatherings well into February.
Pelosi then set about blocking coronavirus funding, while gorging on ice cream from inside her luxurious mansion.

because the message is the opposite of what people are outraged by and the marketing has worked. they just got free publicity and awareness for a film that scrutinises the exposure of extreme internet pornography and extreme religious ideals to kids. the point has been missed. — jj (@jjnet123) September 10, 2020

newswars--2020-09-11--Biden Spox Melts Down Over Teleprompter, COVID Questions

Joe Biden ’ s National Press Secretary , TJ Ducklo , just gave a trainwreck of an interview on Fox News – where he shifted between anti-Trump talking points and backpedaling defensively over simple questions , such as Biden ’ s reliance on teleprompters and what the former VP would have done better than Trump in terms of the national response to COVID-19 .
Perhaps the most jaw-dropping moment was when host Bret Baier asked Ducklo a simple question over Joe Biden ’ s use of telepromptersthat goes back to at least July : “ Has Joe Biden ever used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to answer Q & A with supporters ?
” asked Baier , to which Ducklo launched into a defensive tirade – accusing Baier of parroting Trump campaign talking points , and “ trying to distract the American people.
” Baier asked two more times to “ answer the question , ” while Ducklo deflected – scolding the host and accusing the network of ‘ funneling Trump campaign questions.
’ Ducklo has been answering questions over Biden ’ s teleprompter use since at least July – when he said the notion that the former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is “ laughable , ludicrous , and a lie.
” Yet , here he is earlier in the week doing just that : Owen covers President Trump ’ s press conference in which he boldly calls out Obama for his treasonous behavior !
Earlier in the interview with Ducklo , Baier asked what Biden would have done differently in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic– since a new campaign talking point is that President Trump mishandled the virus , the Biden spox went into defensive overdrive – robotically barking anti-Trump talking points @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden ’ s National Press Secretary can ’ t answer simple questions without deflecting , how will the former Vice President perform in a debate ?
And as some have half-joked ( or not ) , will Biden even show up ?

From Yahoo Sports , “ NFL kicks off 2020 season with Chiefs , Texans showing unity after Houston sat out anthems .

According to the media , the folks who booed are evil and bad because they booed during what they called a “ moment of unity.

As an artist, I’m always thinking about how can I use my platform to further racial equality….. https://t.co/Xst7BNFPhr — Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) September 10, 2020
According to the media, the folks who booed are evil and bad because they booed during what they called a “moment of unity.”
“Classless trash”? The left showing their usual contempt for middle America. Missouri has the best fans in the country. Don’t blame them for being tired of NFL/corporate woke politics jammed down their throats https://t.co/kuzbwhviZI — Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) September 11, 2020
The only thing these privileged, elitist scumbags are unified on is their hatred of Traditional America.
As I reported on Tuesday, Americans support for the sports industry as a whole has imploded in the wake of the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL embracing the divisive Black Lives Matter movement.
A Gallup survey conducted Jul 30-Aug 12, 2020 found that only 30% of Americans view the sports industry positively versus 40% who view it negatively, giving the industry an overall rating of -10.
In Aug 2019, the industry’s overall rating was +20, with 45% viewing it positively and 25% negatively — meaning there has been a -30 shift in just one year.
Another Harris poll released last week found 39 percent of NBA fans say they’re watching fewer games.
“‘The league has become too political’ was the clear choice for the decline, with 38% of respondents,” The Harris Poll reported. “‘Boring without fans’ captured 28% of the vote while the NBA’s association with China caused 19% of sports fans to turn the dial.”
In July, fans booed noose hoaxer Bubba “Smollett” Wallace at the NASCAR All-Star Race Qualifier and cheered after he crashed.
Never stop pushing back against this bulls**t.


newswars--2020-09-11--All Of The Bad News In 2020 Is Causing A Shockingly High Number Of Americans To “Seriously Consider”

All Of The Bad News In 2020 Is Causing A Shockingly High Number Of Americans To “Seriously Consider” Suicide

This is a very difficult article for me to write , but I definitely need to write it .
All over the country , people are considering suicide because of all the bad things that have happened this year , and things are only going to get even more challenging in 2021 and beyond .
This greatly grieves me , because suicide is never the answer to anything , and I wish that I could sit down individually with every person that is considering suicide and get them to understand this .
Our lives are meant to be lived with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that doesn ’ t change when times get very difficult .
Regardless of AG Barr ’ s common sense approach to the madness .
These fools in the streets ultimately continue to support the violence they represent .
Their neglect to blatantly face the truth results in their hypocrisy to aid and abet American children being exploited and murdered .
This is no longer a peaceful protest .
It is a parade of domestic terror waging war on the children of America .
In fact , when challenging times come that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Personally , even though I am constantly writing about all of the hard things that are going on in the world , I am not down , I am not depressed , and I am not on any pills .
Instead , I am incredibly thankful for the gift of each new day , and there is no other time in all of human history that I would rather be living than right now .
But if you allow your life to be defined by the system that the global elite have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for what you can get from that system , then the years ahead are going to be exceedingly difficult for you because that system is failing .
Over the course of this year , the entire world has been thrown into a state of chaos by the coronavirus pandemic , the global economic collapse and the tremendous civil unrest that we have witnessed in major cities all over the planet .
According to a survey that the CDC recently conducted , all of this turmoil has had a dramatic affect on our mental @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed almost 10,000 Americans on their mental health .
They found symptoms of anxiety and depression were up sharply across the board between March and June , compared with the same time the previous year .
And young people seemed to be the hardest-hit of any group .
Almost 11 percent of all respondents to that survey said they had “ seriously considered ” suicide in the past 30 days .
For those ages 18 to 24 , the number was 1 in 4 — more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between 18 and 24 should be some of the greatest years of your entire life , and yet one out of every four Americans in that age group “ seriously considered ” committing suicide in just one month .
That number alone is sufficient evidence to prove that our society has become a complete and utter failure .
The system that we are living in doesn ’ t give these young people any real meaning for their lives , it doesn ’ t provide them with hope , and it doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about the long-term future .
And the truth is that suicides have been on the rise for many years .
In fact , CDC numbers show that the suicide rate has been increasing “ every year since 2007 ” … Shouldn ’ t the fact that the suicide rate just keeps going up year after year after year be a giant red flag for all of us ?
As a society , the direction that we are running is the exact opposite of where we should be going , and that greatly frustrates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the alarm , but most people simply do not want to listen .
But if we keep going down the same path , many more Americans will fall into despair , depression and self-destructive behaviors .
Just like the CDC numbers that I discussed earlier , a recent KFF tracking poll found that Americans have had an exceedingly difficult time dealing with the events of this year… If we can ’ t even deal with the problems that we are facing right now , how in the world are we going to handle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our overall mental health was already in really bad shape coming into this year .
In 2019 , it was being reported that “ deaths of despair ” in the United States had reached an all-time record high .
The following comes from NBC News… When things get really crazy , it can be very tempting to try to find a way to escape .
For some people , escaping means abusing alcohol or drugs , and for others it means becoming immersed in endless hours of self-destructive forms of entertainment .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ escape ” permanently by committing suicide .
But the truth is that you can not run away from reality , and there is no reason to try to escape in the first place .
You were born at this particular moment in history for a reason , there is a unique purpose for your life , and you have a job to do .
All of human history has been building up to a great crescendo , and to be alive during this time is such an amazing privilege .
In the movie @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made a statement that has always stuck with me .
He said that “ what we do in life echoes in eternity ” .
If you make your life all about the global elite ’ s system and what you can get from it , you will end up depressed and defeated .
But if you focus on the things that will echo in eternity , and if you discover the reason why you were placed at this moment in history , then you will never have any reason to want to try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ call life .

This is a very difficult article for me to write, but I definitely need to write it.
All over the country, people are considering suicide because of all the bad things that have happened this year, and things are only going to get even more challenging in 2021 and beyond.
This greatly grieves me, because suicide is never the answer to anything, and I wish that I could sit down individually with every person that is considering suicide and get them to understand this.
Our lives are meant to be lived with purpose, passion and great joy, and that doesn’t change when times get very difficult.
Regardless of AG Barr’s common sense approach to the madness. These fools in the streets ultimately continue to support the violence they represent. Their neglect to blatantly face the truth results in their hypocrisy to aid and abet American children being exploited and murdered. This is no longer a peaceful protest. It is a parade of domestic terror waging war on the children of America.
In fact, when challenging times come that is when bright lights are needed the most.
Personally, even though I am constantly writing about all of the hard things that are going on in the world, I am not down, I am not depressed, and I am not on any pills. Instead, I am incredibly thankful for the gift of each new day, and there is no other time in all of human history that I would rather be living than right now.
But if you allow your life to be defined by the system that the global elite have established, and if you are living for what you can get from that system, then the years ahead are going to be exceedingly difficult for you because that system is failing.
Over the course of this year, the entire world has been thrown into a state of chaos by the coronavirus pandemic, the global economic collapse and the tremendous civil unrest that we have witnessed in major cities all over the planet. According to a survey that the CDC recently conducted, all of this turmoil has had a dramatic affect on our mental health…
At the end of June, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveyed almost 10,000 Americans on their mental health. They found symptoms of anxiety and depression were up sharply across the board between March and June, compared with the same time the previous year. And young people seemed to be the hardest-hit of any group. Almost 11 percent of all respondents to that survey said they had “seriously considered” suicide in the past 30 days. For those ages 18 to 24, the number was 1 in 4 — more than twice as high.
Those numbers are absolutely heartbreaking.
The years between 18 and 24 should be some of the greatest years of your entire life, and yet one out of every four Americans in that age group “seriously considered” committing suicide in just one month.
That number alone is sufficient evidence to prove that our society has become a complete and utter failure. The system that we are living in doesn’t give these young people any real meaning for their lives, it doesn’t provide them with hope, and it doesn’t give them any reason to be optimistic about the long-term future.
And the truth is that suicides have been on the rise for many years. In fact, CDC numbers show that the suicide rate has been increasing “every year since 2007”…
The suicide rate among young people was already at a record high before the pandemic, and had increased every year since 2007, according to a new analysis of CDC data released on Thursday by the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety. The new report, which came on World Suicide Prevention Day, notes that suicide was the second leading cause of death among young people after accidents.
Shouldn’t the fact that the suicide rate just keeps going up year after year after year be a giant red flag for all of us?
As a society, the direction that we are running is the exact opposite of where we should be going, and that greatly frustrates me. Many of us keep sounding the alarm, but most people simply do not want to listen.
But if we keep going down the same path, many more Americans will fall into despair, depression and self-destructive behaviors. Just like the CDC numbers that I discussed earlier, a recent KFF tracking poll found that Americans have had an exceedingly difficult time dealing with the events of this year…
In a KFF Tracking Poll conducted in mid-July, 53% of adults in the United States reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over the coronavirus. This is significantly higher than the 32% reported in March, the first time this question was included in KFF polling. Many adults are also reporting specific negative impacts on their mental health and wellbeing, such as difficulty sleeping (36%) or eating (32%), increases in alcohol consumption or substance use (12%), and worsening chronic conditions (12%), due to worry and stress over the coronavirus. As the pandemic wears on, ongoing and necessary public health measures expose many people to experiencing situations linked to poor mental health outcomes, such as isolation and job loss.
If we can’t even deal with the problems that we are facing right now, how in the world are we going to handle what else is ahead?
Sadly, our overall mental health was already in really bad shape coming into this year. In 2019, it was being reported that “deaths of despair” in the United States had reached an all-time record high. The following comes from NBC News…
Rates of deaths from suicides, drug overdoses and alcohol have reached an all-time high in the United States, but some states have been hit far harder than others, according to a report released Wednesday by the Commonwealth Fund.
When things get really crazy, it can be very tempting to try to find a way to escape.
For some people, escaping means abusing alcohol or drugs, and for others it means becoming immersed in endless hours of self-destructive forms of entertainment.
And of course some people attempt to “escape” permanently by committing suicide.
But the truth is that you cannot run away from reality, and there is no reason to try to escape in the first place.
You were born at this particular moment in history for a reason, there is a unique purpose for your life, and you have a job to do.
All of human history has been building up to a great crescendo, and to be alive during this time is such an amazing privilege.
In the movie Gladiator, Russell Crowe’s character made a statement that has always stuck with me. He said that “what we do in life echoes in eternity”.
If you make your life all about the global elite’s system and what you can get from it, you will end up depressed and defeated.
But if you focus on the things that will echo in eternity, and if you discover the reason why you were placed at this moment in history, then you will never have any reason to want to try to escape this amazing adventure that we call life.

newswars--2020-09-11--Governments Never Give Up Power Voluntarily

All those in positions of political power , all governments , all kings , and all republican authorities have always looked askance at private property .
There is an inherent tendency in all governmental power to recognize no restraints on its operation and to extend the sphere of its dominion as much as possible .
To control everything , to leave no room for anything to happen of its own accord without the interference of the authorities—this is the goal for which every ruler secretly strives .
If only private property did not stand in the way !
Private property @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which he is free of the state .
It sets limits to the operation of the authoritarian will .
It allows other forces to arise side by side with and in opposition to political power .
It thus becomes the basis of all those activities that are free from violent interference on the part of the state .
It is the soil in which the seeds of freedom are nurtured and in which the autonomy of the individual and ultimately all intellectual and material progress are rooted .
In this sense , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the development of the individual .
But it is only with many reservations that the latter formulation can be considered acceptable , because the customary opposition between individual and collectivity , between individualistic and collective ideas and aims , or even between individualistic and universalistic science , is an empty shibboleth .
Thus , there has never been a political power that voluntarily desisted from impeding the free development and operation of the institution of private ownership of the means of production .
Governments tolerate private property when they are compelled to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acknowledge it voluntarily in recognition of its necessity .
Even liberal politicians , on gaining power , have usually relegated their liberal principles more or less to the background .
The tendency to impose oppressive restraints on private property , to abuse political power , and to refuse to respect or recognize any free sphere outside or beyond the dominion of the state is too deeply ingrained in the mentality of those who control the governmental apparatus of compulsion and coercion for them ever to be able to resist it voluntarily .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Governments must be forced into adopting liberalism by the power of the unanimous opinion of the people ; that they could voluntarily become liberal is not to be expected .
It is easy to understand what would constrain rulers to recognize the property rights of their subjects in a society composed exclusively of farmers all of whom were equally rich .
In such a social order , every attempt to abridge the right to property would immediately meet with the resistance of a united front of all subjects against the government and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fall .
The situation is essentially different , however , in a society in which there is not only agricultural but also industrial production , and especially where there are big business enterprises involving large-scale investments in industry , mining , and trade .
In such a society , it is quite possible for those in control of the government to take action against private property .
In fact , politically there is nothing more advantageous for a government than an attack on property rights , for it is always an easy matter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of land and capital .
From time immemorial , therefore , it has been the idea of all absolute monarchs , of all despots and tyrants , to ally themselves with the “ people ” against the propertied classes .

The Prussian authoritarian state of the Hohenzollerns also took up the idea , introduced by Lassalle into German politics during the Prussian constitutional struggle , of winning the masses of workers to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a policy of etatism and interventionism .
This was the basic principle of the “ social monarchy ” so highly extolled by Schmoller and his school .
In spite of all persecutions , however , the institution of private property has survived .
Neither the animosity of all governments , nor the hostile campaign waged against it by writers and moralists and by churches and religions , nor the resentment of the masses—itself deeply rooted in instinctive envy—has availed to abolish it .
Every attempt to replace it with some other method @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of itself promptly proved unfeasible to the point of absurdity .
People have had to recognize that the institution of private property is indispensable and to revert to it whether they liked it or not .
But for all that , they have still refused to admit that the reason for this return to the institution of free private ownership of the means of production is to be found in the fact that an economic system serving the needs and purposes of man ’ s life in society is , in principle , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have been unable to make up their minds to rid themselves of an ideology to which they have become attached , namely , the belief that private property is an evil that can not , at least for the time being , be dispensed with as long as men have not yet sufficiently evolved ethically .
While governments—contrary to their intentions , of course , and to the inherent tendency of every organized center of power—have reconciled themselves to the existence of private property , they have still continued to adhere firmly—not only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thinking—to an ideology hostile to property rights .
Indeed , they consider opposition to private property to be correct in principle and any deviation from it on their part to be due solely to their own weakness or to consideration for the interests of powerful groups .

Private property creates for the individual a sphere in which he is free of the state. It sets limits to the operation of the authoritarian will.
It allows other forces to arise side by side with and in opposition to political power. It thus becomes the basis of all those activities that are free from violent interference on the part of the state.

Governments must be forced into adopting liberalism by the power of the unanimous opinion of the people; that they could voluntarily become liberal is not to be expected.

The Second Empire of Louis Napoleon was not the only regime to be founded on the principle of Caesarism. The Prussian authoritarian state of the Hohenzollerns also took up the idea, introduced by Lassalle into German politics during the Prussian constitutional struggle, of winning the masses of workers to the battle against the liberal bourgeoisie by means of a policy of etatism and interventionism. This was the basic principle of the “social monarchy” so highly extolled by Schmoller and his school.
In spite of all persecutions, however, the institution of private property has survived. Neither the animosity of all governments, nor the hostile campaign waged against it by writers and moralists and by churches and religions, nor the resentment of the masses—itself deeply rooted in instinctive envy—has availed to abolish it.
Every attempt to replace it with some other method of organizing production and distribution has always of itself promptly proved unfeasible to the point of absurdity. People have had to recognize that the institution of private property is indispensable and to revert to it whether they liked it or not.
But for all that, they have still refused to admit that the reason for this return to the institution of free private ownership of the means of production is to be found in the fact that an economic system serving the needs and purposes of man’s life in society is, in principle, impracticable except on this foundation.
People have been unable to make up their minds to rid themselves of an ideology to which they have become attached, namely, the belief that private property is an evil that cannot, at least for the time being, be dispensed with as long as men have not yet sufficiently evolved ethically.
While governments—contrary to their intentions, of course, and to the inherent tendency of every organized center of power—have reconciled themselves to the existence of private property, they have still continued to adhere firmly—not only outwardly, but also in their own thinking—to an ideology hostile to property rights.
Indeed, they consider opposition to private property to be correct in principle and any deviation from it on their part to be due solely to their own weakness or to consideration for the interests of powerful groups.


newswars--2020-09-11--Mandatory Covid-19 Vaccination Is Unethical and Unscientific

Businesses have been shut down arbitrarily without any evidence that these shutdowns save any lives .
Tens of millions of Americans have become unemployed due to these shutdowns .
There are already demands for mandatory covid-19 vaccination even before a vaccine is available .
“ Make vaccines free , don ’ t allow religious or personal objections , and create disincentives for those who refuse vaccines shown to be safe and effective.
” This is an empty statement , as any vaccine available will neither be 100 percent safe nor 100 percent effective .
Based on the initial study of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ number of patients , it is not even clear that the vaccine will be safer than the disease itself .
If a vaccine is 100 percent effective , there is no justification for mandatory vaccination .
Anyone who wishes to be protected can voluntarily take the vaccine .
It would not be possible for someone declining the vaccine to harm someone who voluntarily takes the vaccine .
Any call for a mandatory vaccine is an explicit admission that the vaccine is not 100 percent effective .
If a vaccine were 0 percent effective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone taking the vaccine .
There must be some intermediate percentage of effectiveness that maximizes the utility of mandatory vaccination .
As the vaccine becomes more effective , fewer people can possibly benefit from mandatory vaccination .
As the vaccine becomes less effective , a lower percentage of people who could possibly benefit from mandatory vaccination will actually benefit .
Utility of mandatory vaccination requires that the vaccine be effective in some of those who would not voluntarily take it ( conscripted helpers ) , that the vaccine be ineffective in some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beneficiaries ) , and the stipulation that conscripted helpers interact with beneficiaries , that these interactions lead to extra infections despite other means of prevention , and that the extra infections result in serious illness or deaths .
That is a lot of ifs .
There is no way to know what this optimal effectiveness would be .
There is no way to know how many coerced vaccinations are necessary to prevent one infection or to prevent one serious illness or death ( number to treat ) .
Given that the number to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to vaccination , mandatory vaccination can not be ethical even by utilitarian calculation .
An ideal vaccine induces an immune response that neutralizes a pathogen .
The immune response can be antibody or T-cell activity .
Claims that a covid-19 vaccine will prevent infection are not precisely true .
Immune responses are not like antimissile defenses that destroy the missile before it reaches the body .
A better analogy for an ideal vaccine would be the inducement of an immune response that prevents invading pathogens from breaching a wall using siege ladders or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not act until triggered by the presence of the invading pathogen .
An ideal vaccine can neutralize the pathogen before it enters tissue cells , replicates within the tissue cells , enters the blood , invades distant organs , and causes clinical disease or death .
The process of neutralizing the virus is not instantaneous , so while the battle between immune defense and invading pathogen is taking place , the host is technically infected and theoretically can transmit the pathogen to others .
The best that we can hope for is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the duration of time that the host can transmit the pathogen to others .
Studies of the Russian vaccine did not measure efficacy in terms of prevention of clinical disease .
The measure of “ efficacy ” used was detection of antibody response to the vaccine antigen .
But there is no guarantee that the presence of antibody will prevent infection , prevent clinical disease , or prevent death .
There is no evidence that severe disease or death from covid-19 is due to the absence of antibody .
Studies on immune response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with severe disease have higher antibody levels than patients with mild disease .
There are concerns that cytokine storm , a consequence of too much immune response rather than too little immune response , may be an important cause of death in covid-19 .
Cytokine storm is a potential side effect of any vaccine .
As usual , the devil is in the details .
Advocates for mandatory vaccination always stipulate that the vaccine be safe .
What is safe ?
No vaccine can possibly be 100 percent safe .
The elephant in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the risk ?
The Lancet ‘ s study on the Russian vaccine studied 76 subjects .
There were 38 in the vaccine group and 38 in the control group .
A study of this size would not be expected to detect a vaccine fatality rate of 1/50 .
Fever occurred in 100 percent of one subgroup ( 20 subjects ) and 31/38 subjects receiving the Gam=COVID-Vac agent .
The ages in the study ranged from 18–60 .
The mean age of the subgroups was 25–32 years of age .
Given the low @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percentage of asymptomatic covid-19 cases in young patients , it is not clear that the vaccine was even safer than infection with the virus .
Several decades ago , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided to eliminate tuberculosis from the United States .
The plan was to test everyone with PPD and treat all the positive PPD patients with a drug called INH .
This plan had to be stopped after fifty patients died from liver failure due to INH toxicity .
The liver toxicity was missed by small-scale clinical trials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health program .
Neither the CDC nor the Food and Drug Administration can know that a treatment or vaccine is safe .
The more people are vaccinated , the more side effects will be discovered .
This is a huge ethical problem for mandatory vaccination .
If everyone is required to be vaccinated , there will be no control group for comparison of safety and efficacy .
Advocates of mandatory covid-19 vaccination assure the public that the vaccine will be safe .
Why was it necessary for government to indemnify the vaccine manufacturers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to production ?
This is a clear case where one should ignore what government says and watch what government does .
Government clearly knows something that is not being disclosed to the public .
This is the opposite of transparency , yet anyone who opposes vaccination is labeled as stupid , uniformed , or inadequately concerned about their elderly neighbors .
Some risks are not known ahead of time .
Some risks will not be manifest until years later .
Consider a hypothetical situation where a vaccine causes sterility ten years later .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ this risk ahead of time .
Imagine that all of humanity is vaccinated with this vaccine .

The post-Covid-19 world is a surrealistic nightmare.
Businesses have been shut down arbitrarily without any evidence that these shutdowns save any lives. Tens of millions of Americans have become unemployed due to these shutdowns. There are already demands for mandatory covid-19 vaccination even before a vaccine is available. “Make vaccines free, don’t allow religious or personal objections, and create disincentives for those who refuse vaccines shown to be safe and effective.” This is an empty statement, as any vaccine available will neither be 100 percent safe nor 100 percent effective. Based on the initial study of the Russian vaccine in a very limited number of patients, it is not even clear that the vaccine will be safer than the disease itself.
Justifications for Mandatory Vaccines
If a vaccine is 100 percent effective, there is no justification for mandatory vaccination. Anyone who wishes to be protected can voluntarily take the vaccine. It would not be possible for someone declining the vaccine to harm someone who voluntarily takes the vaccine. Any call for a mandatory vaccine is an explicit admission that the vaccine is not 100 percent effective.
If a vaccine were 0 percent effective, there would be no justification for anyone taking the vaccine. There must be some intermediate percentage of effectiveness that maximizes the utility of mandatory vaccination. As the vaccine becomes more effective, fewer people can possibly benefit from mandatory vaccination. As the vaccine becomes less effective, a lower percentage of people who could possibly benefit from mandatory vaccination will actually benefit.
Utility of mandatory vaccination requires that the vaccine be effective in some of those who would not voluntarily take it (conscripted helpers), that the vaccine be ineffective in some of those who would voluntarily take it (beneficiaries), and the stipulation that conscripted helpers interact with beneficiaries, that these interactions lead to extra infections despite other means of prevention, and that the extra infections result in serious illness or deaths. That is a lot of ifs. There is no way to know what this optimal effectiveness would be. There is no way to know how many coerced vaccinations are necessary to prevent one infection or to prevent one serious illness or death (number to treat). Given that the number to treat cannot possibly be known prior to vaccination, mandatory vaccination cannot be ethical even by utilitarian calculation.
Concerns about Efficacy
An ideal vaccine induces an immune response that neutralizes a pathogen. The immune response can be antibody or T-cell activity. Claims that a covid-19 vaccine will prevent infection are not precisely true. Immune responses are not like antimissile defenses that destroy the missile before it reaches the body. A better analogy for an ideal vaccine would be the inducement of an immune response that prevents invading pathogens from breaching a wall using siege ladders or battering rams. The immune defenses cannot act until triggered by the presence of the invading pathogen. An ideal vaccine can neutralize the pathogen before it enters tissue cells, replicates within the tissue cells, enters the blood, invades distant organs, and causes clinical disease or death. The process of neutralizing the virus is not instantaneous, so while the battle between immune defense and invading pathogen is taking place, the host is technically infected and theoretically can transmit the pathogen to others. The best that we can hope for is to prevent clinical disease, and to minimize the duration of time that the host can transmit the pathogen to others.
Studies of the Russian vaccine did not measure efficacy in terms of prevention of clinical disease. The measure of “efficacy” used was detection of antibody response to the vaccine antigen. But there is no guarantee that the presence of antibody will prevent infection, prevent clinical disease, or prevent death. There is no evidence that severe disease or death from covid-19 is due to the absence of antibody. Studies on immune response in patients with covid-19 show that patients with severe disease have higher antibody levels than patients with mild disease. There are concerns that cytokine storm, a consequence of too much immune response rather than too little immune response, may be an important cause of death in covid-19. Cytokine storm is a potential side effect of any vaccine. As usual, the devil is in the details.
Concerns about Safety
Advocates for mandatory vaccination always stipulate that the vaccine be safe. What is safe? No vaccine can possibly be 100 percent safe. The elephant in the room is always: How large is the risk? The Lancet‘s study on the Russian vaccine studied 76 subjects. There were 38 in the vaccine group and 38 in the control group. A study of this size would not be expected to detect a vaccine fatality rate of 1/50. Fever occurred in 100 percent of one subgroup (20 subjects) and 31/38 subjects receiving the Gam=COVID-Vac agent. The ages in the study ranged from 18–60. The mean age of the subgroups was 25–32 years of age. Given the low age of the participants and the high percentage of asymptomatic covid-19 cases in young patients, it is not clear that the vaccine was even safer than infection with the virus.
Several decades ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided to eliminate tuberculosis from the United States. The plan was to test everyone with PPD and treat all the positive PPD patients with a drug called INH. This plan had to be stopped after fifty patients died from liver failure due to INH toxicity. The liver toxicity was missed by small-scale clinical trials but was discovered by the much-larger-scale public health program. Neither the CDC nor the Food and Drug Administration can know that a treatment or vaccine is safe. The more people are vaccinated, the more side effects will be discovered. This is a huge ethical problem for mandatory vaccination. If everyone is required to be vaccinated, there will be no control group for comparison of safety and efficacy.
Advocates of mandatory covid-19 vaccination assure the public that the vaccine will be safe. Why was it necessary for government to indemnify the vaccine manufacturers against any liability for their vaccine prior to production? This is a clear case where one should ignore what government says and watch what government does. Government clearly knows something that is not being disclosed to the public. This is the opposite of transparency, yet anyone who opposes vaccination is labeled as stupid, uniformed, or inadequately concerned about their elderly neighbors.
Catastrophic Tail Risks
Some risks are not known ahead of time. Some risks will not be manifest until years later. Consider a hypothetical situation where a vaccine causes sterility ten years later. There would be no way to detect this risk ahead of time. Imagine that all of humanity is vaccinated with this vaccine. Humanity would be wiped out when the last person dies. No matter how small the risk for an existential threat, why would humanity take this chance over something as ordinary as a bad flu? Rather than treating antivaxxers as a threat to civilization, we should be grateful that some people will always volunteer to be controls in our medical experiments by declining treatment.
Markets Offer the Best Solutions to Complex Problems
How efficacious will the vaccine be? How safe will the vaccine be? We don’t even have an American vaccine to assess, yet authorities are calling for mandatory American vaccination. Even when vaccine options are available, we will have limited information about efficacy and safety. There are no objective answers available about efficacy and safety, so how can objectively correct decisions be made balancing risks and benefits? Markets offer the best solutions to these subjective questions. Just as markets determine value by the process of price discovery, the balance between risk and benefit of a vaccine can only be determined by how many people are voluntarily willing to take the vaccine.
Conclusions
Vaccines are a wonderful hedge against the risks of contagious disease. We are fortunate to have vaccines as options. However, mandatory vaccination can never be justified. If a vaccine were clearly 100 percent efficacious and 100 percent safe, there would be no need for coercion; people would voluntarily line up to take the vaccine. Real vaccines are never 100 percent efficacious or 100 percent safe. Judgments about risk versus benefit can only be made by individuals facing the risk. People who decline vaccines are not stupid, nor are they misinformed, nor do they have callous disregard for their neighbors. Advocates of vaccines who are disappointed by the number of people willing to accept the vaccine should stop blaming those who decline and reevaluate their poor abilities of persuasion. Vaccine skeptics are necessary as controls in ongoing assessment of efficacy and safety. Vaccine skeptics are necessary as a hedge against catastrophic errors by experts.

It ’ s been frustrating .
It ’ s been beyond frustrating because to be somebody that ’ s so outspoken , to be somebody that speaks up for so much and speaks up about so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ difficult to kinda be , you know , quiet , ” Smollett told Hill , adding , “ To not be able to say all of the things that you want to say , to not be able to yell from the rooftop because , I don ’ t think that people realize I ’ ve just been wrapped up in some form of a case for the last… approaching , in just a couple months , two years.

Smollett, the brothers claimed, “directed every aspect of the attack, including the location and the noose.”
