Rarely does the general public get to hear what vaccine scientists and public health officials really think about vaccines .
Instead , the simplistic ( and propagandistic ) mantra aired ad infinitum for public consumption is that vaccines are “ safe and effective ” —full stop .
As the transcripts from the secret Simpsonwood meeting revealed two decades ago , however , when the experts are among themselves , they tell a different story—and , as a new behind-closed-doors video powerfully reveals , they are still far from convinced of their own safety message .
The bombshell video footage , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Highwire , captures a series of statements—profoundly unsettling in their matter-of-factness—made by professionals who , in early December , attended the World Health Organization ’ s ( WHO ’ s ) two-day Global Vaccine Safety Summit .
The summit ’ s aims were to “ take stock of [ the ] accomplishments ” of WHO ’ s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety ( GACVS ) and work toward finalizing the agency ’ s Global Vaccine Safety Blueprint 2.0 strategy 2021-2030 .
Attendees included GACVS members ( past and present ) , vaccine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safety staff , “ and representatives of UN agencies , academic institutions , umbrella organizations of pharmaceutical companies , technical partners , industry representatives and funding agencies.
” What did this crème de la crème of the vaccine establishment say during their two-day powwow ?
Among other discussion points , attendees admitted that : • The design of safety studies makes it difficult to spot problems .
Every single one of these revelations—startling mostly because of who was caught on camera saying it— referred to problems that Children ’ s Health Defense and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reporting on for years .
Rob Dew joins The Alex Jones Show to play a leaked video of Soumya Swaminathan , the Chief Scientist of the WHO , admitting in a secret meeting that vaccines kill people and they do not know why .
Not quite a year ago , Indian pediatrician Dr. Soumya Swaminathan stepped into the newly created and prominent position of WHO Chief Scientist , moving up from a stint as WHO Deputy Director-General of Programs .
At the December vaccine summit , she admitted : “ [ W ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear-cut answers when people ask questions about the deaths that have occurred due to a particular vaccine , and this always gets blown up in the media.
” Dr. Swaminathan acknowledged that the vaccine community ought to be prepared to provide “ a very factual account of what exactly has happened and what the cause of the deaths are ” ; astoundingly , however , she conceded that “ in most cases there is some obfuscation ” —with the result that “ there ’ s less and less trust .
.
.
in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ examples of just such “ obfuscation , ” showing , for example , how a national committee attributed 96 % of deaths in Indian infants who had just received pentavalent vaccines as either coincidental or unclassifiable .
What earned Dr. Swaminathan a place at the WHO vaccine table , when she is primarily known for her research and programmatic work on tuberculosis ?
It turns out that she has been an enthusiastic cheerleader for expanding human papillomavirus ( HPV ) vaccination in India .
In early 2018 , the Indian government decided against @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Universal Immunization Program , swayed by feedback from India ’ s medical community ( which is “ split over the vaccine ’ s use ” ) and by the concerns of the influential Hindu organization RSS , which argued that adding the HPV vaccine would “ divert scarce resources from more worthwhile health initiatives diverting it to this vaccine of doubtful utility and that its adverse effects will erode confidence in the national immunisation programme.
” Ignoring these concerns as well as HPV vaccines ’ disastrous global track record , Swaminathan—speaking on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In late 2019 , she joined other authors in a Lancet Oncology article that made light of “ a few deaths ” in HPV vaccine demonstration projects in two Indian states while praising the “ successful introduction ” and safety of HPV vaccination in two other states .
Several WHO summit speakers described the lack of “ good science ” and the inability of vaccine clinical trials to provide meaningful information about safety and risk .
Describing the “ tyranny of small numbers ” and the “ relatively small sample sizes ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ example , Dr. David Kaslow characterized these features as “ a real conundrum ” but offered no suggestions for solving it .
This , despite being Director of the Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access at PATH ( a Seattle-based global health organization ) , holding over a dozen vaccine-related patents and having a quarter-century of experience in vaccine research and development at PATH , the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , Merck and the National Institutes of Health .
Dr. Marion Gruber , Director of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Vaccines Research and Review , with “ over 20 years of experience in the regulatory review and approval of .
.
.
vaccines and related biologics , ” unblushingly agreed that vaccine pre-licensure clinical trials “ may not be powered enough ” ( meaning they are too small to detect statistically significant effects ) and that the generally inadequate follow-up of trial participants “ complicates safety evaluation.
” Presumably , Gruber could spearhead the design of more useful pre-licensure studies in her capacity as the senior official responsible for research “ pertaining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of vaccines ” —but , like Kaslow , she apparently had no solutions to propose .
The FDA ’ s squalid history of approving vaccines tested without placebos and often with only a few days of follow-up—and its encouragement of off-license use of vaccines in pregnant women—cast doubts on Gruber ’ s sincerity in raising these issues .

Friede , who held “ several senior management positions in the vaccine industry ” prior to moving to WHO , added : “ I give courses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ develop vaccines ?

Fatal Vaccines
Not quite a year ago, Indian pediatrician Dr. Soumya Swaminathan stepped into the newly created and prominent position of WHO Chief Scientist, moving up from a stint as WHO Deputy Director-General of Programs. At the December vaccine summit, she admitted:
“[W]e’re not able to give clear-cut answers when people ask questions about the deaths that have occurred due to a particular vaccine, and this always gets blown up in the media.”
Dr. Swaminathan acknowledged that the vaccine community ought to be prepared to provide “a very factual account of what exactly has happened and what the cause of the deaths are”; astoundingly, however, she conceded that “in most cases there is some obfuscation”—with the result that “there’s less and less trust . . . in the system.” Indian physicians have furnished examples of just such “obfuscation,” showing, for example, how a national committee attributed 96% of deaths in Indian infants who had just received pentavalent vaccines as either coincidental or unclassifiable.
What earned Dr. Swaminathan a place at the WHO vaccine table, when she is primarily known for her research and programmatic work on tuberculosis?
It turns out that she has been an enthusiastic cheerleader for expanding human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in India. In early 2018, the Indian government decided against including the HPV vaccine in India’s Universal Immunization Program, swayed by feedback from India’s medical community (which is “split over the vaccine’s use”) and by the concerns of the influential Hindu organization RSS, which argued that adding the HPV vaccine would “divert scarce resources from more worthwhile health initiatives diverting it to this vaccine of doubtful utility and that its adverse effects will erode confidence in the national immunisation programme.”
Ignoring these concerns as well as HPV vaccines’ disastrous global track record, Swaminathan—speaking on behalf of WHO—promptly urged India to reconsider. In late 2019, she joined other authors in a Lancet Oncology article that made light of “a few deaths” in HPV vaccine demonstration projects in two Indian states while praising the “successful introduction” and safety of HPV vaccination in two other states.
Flawed Safety Studies
Several WHO summit speakers described the lack of “good science” and the inability of vaccine clinical trials to provide meaningful information about safety and risk. Describing the “tyranny of small numbers” and the “relatively small sample sizes” typical of vaccine clinical trials, for example, Dr. David Kaslow characterized these features as “a real conundrum” but offered no suggestions for solving it.
This, despite being Director of the Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access at PATH (a Seattle-based global health organization), holding over a dozen vaccine-related patents and having a quarter-century of experience in vaccine research and development at PATH, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Merck and the National Institutes of Health.

The FDA’s squalid history of approving vaccines tested without placebos and often with only a few days of follow-up—and its encouragement of off-license use of vaccines in pregnant women—cast doubts on Gruber’s sincerity in raising these issues.
For those of you that have ingested this information through countless interviews and analysis at Infowars, this report serves as a refresher.
Inadequate Safety Monitoring
Dr. Robert Chen is a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and currently directs the Task Force for Global Health’s Brighton Collaboration. Chen’s webpage credits him with decades-long efforts to “create the vaccine safety infrastructure needed to meet the ‘post-modern’ challenges of mature immunization programs where adverse events are more prominent than the nearly eliminated” vaccine-preventable diseases—yet at the WHO summit, he declared that safety monitoring databases remain incapable of “teasing out” vital information such as details about manufacturers and lot numbers. Dr. Swaminathan chimed in that “we really don’t have very good safety monitoring systems in many countries.”
Risky Adjuvants
WHO summit attendees had numerous comments about vaccine adjuvants—none of them reassuring. For example, the Coordinator of the WHO’s Initiative for Vaccine Research (Dr. Martin Howell Friede) remarked, “We do not add adjuvants to vaccines because we want to do so” but because vaccines will not “work” without them. Friede, who held “several senior management positions in the vaccine industry” prior to moving to WHO, added:
“I give courses every year on “How do you develop vaccines?” “How do you make vaccines?” And the first lesson is, while you’re making your vaccine, if you can avoid using an adjuvant, please do so. Lesson two is, if you’re going to use an adjuvant, use one that has a history of safety. And lesson three is, if you’re not going to do that, think very carefully.”
Friede also noted that the “primary concern” with vaccine adjuvants is systemic adverse events: “The major health concern which we are seeing are accusations of long term . . . effects.” Friede then passed the baton back to regulators such as the FDA’s Gruber, who characterized “safety and effectiveness evaluation of adjuvants combined with vaccine antigens” as “complicated.”
Vote of No Confidence—for Good Reason
One of the few attendees to articulate vaccine safety issues from the child’s standpoint was Dr. Bassey Okposen, a Program Manager for Nigeria’s vaccine program. Okposen had celebrated Nigeria’s “high immunisation coverage” in 2018, but at the 2019 WHO meeting, he ventured to ask whether vaccines containing “different antigens from different companies” and “different adjuvants and different preservatives and so on” could be “cross-reacting amongst themselves”—wondering aloud whether “the possibility of cross-reactions” had ever been studied.
In fact, toxicologists are keenly aware that individual toxins have synergistic effects when combined, but vaccine researchers seem uninterested. Nor have the domestic or international vaccine communities ever been forthright about the lack of research on “key elements of the entire [childhood vaccine] schedule—the number, frequency, timing, order, and age at administration of vaccines.”
The WHO may wish to draw attention to and scapegoat those who exhibit “vaccine hesitancy,” but the global cadre of vaccine experts has only itself to blame. As Professor Heidi Larson stated to her peers at the WHO summit, the crisis of confidence is now extending to “a very wobbly health professional front line that is [also] starting to question vaccines and the safety of vaccines.” Larson directs a slick program designed to restore vaccine confidence, but she was the first to acknowledge that “You can’t repurpose the same old science to make it sound better if you don’t have the science that’s relevant to the new problem.” We might add that the “same old science” never was terribly good to begin with.

Thousands of striking workers poured into streets across France on Thursday for a sixth day of mass demonstrations , as French trade unions also blocked ports and disrupted power production , searching for a way to force President Emmanuel Macron to ditch a planned pension overhaul as the impact of transport strikes weakens .
According to the hardliner CGT union , almost 250,000 people marched in the streets of Paris against the pension overhaul .

Thousands of striking workers poured into streets across France on Thursday for a sixth day of mass demonstrations, as French trade unions also blocked ports and disrupted power production, searching for a way to force President Emmanuel Macron to ditch a planned pension overhaul as the impact of transport strikes weakens.
According to the hardliner CGT union, almost 250,000 people marched in the streets of Paris against the pension overhaul. The numbers were far fewer than on January 10, when approximately 370,000 people demonstrated in Paris, according to the same CGT, while France’s interior ministry counted 56,000.
Today’s rallies came on the 43rd day of a strike that again snarled train traffic and caused misery for millions of commuters in the Paris area especially, but the industrial action has lost momentum since Macron’s government made a concession over the age of retirement and as strikers face mounting financial pressure to return to work.
“It’s never too late to force a government to cave in,” said Philippe Martinez, head of the CGT, before the street march in Paris. “Our determination is still just as strong” as when the strikes were launched on December 5, he said.

The rallies came with a short-term increase in the number of striking workers at train operator SNCF, with 10 percent walking off the job compared with 4.3 percent on Monday, still far fewer than on December 5, when over half of workers took part.
But the moderate CFDT union, France’s largest, did not take part in the rally, after welcoming a move by French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe to temporarily withdraw a measure that would have forced people to work until 64 to qualify for a full pension.
Data collated by Reuters from public transport agencies show the number of SNCF and Paris métro trains operating has risen, and strike observance by workers has fallen.
French Ports Blocked
The CGT this week set its sights on French ports as the participation rates in strikes on Paris public transport services declined.
Ferry services to Britain suffered delays and at least 20 bulk carriers waiting to export cereals were kept at anchor outside France’s major ports, data from financial data provider Refinitiv showed.
On Thursday, vessels set to export a total of 536,000 tons of cereals, mostly wheat, were held up outside the ports, data showed.
A three-day walkout by dockers which began on Tuesday has led to production outages at some livestock feed factories.
In the electricity sector, output was down about 9% of available capacity.
Wedge Between Unions
Prime Minister Philippe’s offer to withdraw plans to raise the retirement age for full pension benefits by two years to 64 if the pension budget can be balanced another way drove a wedge between unions determined to see the reform scrapped and those more open to reform.
President Macron, a former investment banker, wants to streamline France’s convoluted pension system and give French people an incentive to stay in work longer to pay for some of the most generous retirement benefits in the industrialized world.
It would be the biggest overhaul of the system since World War Two and is central to the president’s drive to make the French labor force more flexible and more competitive globally.
Trade unions accuse Macron of eroding hard-earned benefits.
In their own words, leftists vow to make you a disarmed slave.

Then in 2019 another 18,500 victims were identified. HSBC has so far agreed to pay out £30 million and Mr. Wilson believes the total will eventually reach £200 million.
In March 2019 Adrian Hill, the former CEO of HFC Bank, drowned himself at his luxury home in Oxfordshire.
An inquest into his death heard had been suffering from stress was convinced he was going to be sent to prison as a result of the FCA investigation into HFC.
Mr. Wilson pointed out the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell had said in Parliament on Wednesday, 8 January, Mr. Bailey’s record at the FCA should have been taken into account before he was appointed.
Mr. McDonnell said Mr. Bailey had been “asleep at the wheel during his period of office at the FCA.”
The Chancellor, Sajid Javid, insisted Mr. Bailey was “an outstanding candidate, the standout candidate for being the next Governor of the Bank of England.”
‘UK Most Corrupt Country in the World’
In 2016 Italian journalist Roberto Saviano, who has spent most of his career investigating the mafia, claimed Britain was the most corrupt country in the world.
Saviano told an audience at the Hay-on-Wye Book Festival: “If I asked you what is the most corrupt place on Earth you might tell me well it’s Afghanistan, maybe Greece, Nigeria, the South of Italy and I will tell you it’s the UK. It’s not the bureaucracy, it’s not the police, it’s not the politics but what is corrupt is the financial capital. 90 percent of the owners of capital in London have their headquarters offshore.”
Mr. Wilson said: “I would agree with that. He is talking about the City of London. It is the money laundering capital of the world.”
The Statutory Instrument implementing the new anti-money laundering rules was laid in Parliament on Friday 20 December 2019. This confirms that the Fifth Money Laundering Directive will come into force in the UK on 10 January 2020. https://t.co/U85b81gZew — Manners Residential (@MannersWoking) January 9, 2020
He said: “Nothing can be done to clean up the City of London. If any politician tried to dismantle the City of London the world economy would collapse. Drugs money was the only thing that kept the banks going during the 2008 financial crisis.”
In 2016 the Home Affairs Select Committee claimed £100 billion in illicit money was being laundered in the London property market every year.
Mr. Wilson said the bank with the worst reputation was HSBC which he said was implicated in 18 of the 25 top corruption scandals listed by the watchdog Transparency International last year.
Rona Fairhead, a former director of HSBC, was also chair of the BBC Trust and is currently a member of the House of Lords. She was a government minister until May last year.
Mr. Wilson said the political and financial establishments were closely entwined and he said there have been numerous examples of former MPs and ministers going to work for banks and former bankers entering politics or influential jobs.

newswars--2020-01-17--BREAKING: Military to Jam GPS Signals Across East Coast Through Jan. 24th

In case you didn ’ t fully realize that something big is about to take place in America , file these two facts in your brain : Fact # 1 : The U.S. military , Carrier Strike Group Four ( CSG4 ) , is jamming GPS signals from Jan 16th – 24th , which may overlap the planned deep state false flag event in Richmond , Virginia .
Richmond is just at the margins of the range of the GPS jamming exercise map released by the military ( see below ) .

In case you didn’t fully realize that something big is about to take place in America, file these two facts in your brain:
Fact #1: The U.S. military, Carrier Strike Group Four (CSG4), is jamming GPS signals from Jan 16th – 24th, which may overlap the planned deep state false flag event in Richmond, Virginia. Richmond is just at the margins of the range of the GPS jamming exercise map released by the military (see below). The epicenter of the so-called “exercise” is off the coast of Georgia.

The Democrat impeachment sham was dealt another blow this week when contestants on Jeopardy failed to recognize House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff.
Despite the California congressman’s frequent appearances on CNN and other MSM talk shows, largely in part to his efforts to overthrow Donald Trump’s presidency, none of the quiz show players were able to identify Schiff when shown a picture.

newswars--2020-01-17--Software Identifies People Based on Dance Moves

Nearly everyone responds to music with movement , whether through subtle toe-tapping or an all-out boogie .
A recent discovery shows that our dance style is almost always the same , regardless of the type of music , and a computer can identify the dancer with astounding accuracy .
Studying how people move to music is a powerful tool for researchers looking to understand how and why music affects us the way it does .
Over the last few years , researchers at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Music Research at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland have used motion capture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hollywood — to learn that your dance moves say a lot about you , such as how extroverted or neurotic you are , what mood you happen to be in , and even how much you empathize with other people .
Recently , however , they discovered something that surprised them .
“ We actually weren ’ t looking for this result , as we set out to study something completely different , ” explains Dr. Emily Carlson , the first author of the study .
“ Our original idea was to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ identify which genre of music our participants were dancing to , based on their movements.
” The 73 participants in the study were motion-captured dancing to eight different genres : Blues , Country , Dance/Electronica , Jazz , Metal , Pop , Reggae and Rap .
The only instruction they received was to listen to the music and move any way that felt natural .

4: A modification of the Constitution’s amendment process that would ensure future amendments are ratified by states representing most Americans
Because Washington D.C. is not technically a state, it would be easier to create new states from its neighborhoods rather than splitting up existing states.

Since every state is represented by two Senators under current law, the 127 new states would provide Democrats with enough manpower to essentially run the country.

The idea is that America is Republic, not a Democracy, and that megacities like modern-day New York and Los Angeles do not get to control what takes place in rural America.
The modern left’s war on free speech, gun rights, private property and other basic freedoms proves they could care less about the Constitution or America’s Founding Fathers.

Death to Prohibition

The end of alcohol prohibition in 1933 and the subsequent War on Drugs might just be what spreads a widespread revival of libertarianism and Austrian Economics .
On January 17 , 1920 , America embarked on an official policy of prohibiting alcohol nationwide backed by the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution and the Volstead Act .
The idea had been tried before at the state and local levels and failed .
Progressivism , the ideology of the age , however , provided optimism that government could produce a pure white Protestant society free of all social evils .
Also backing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ success was the success of temperance movements that had begun to stir almost a century before .
The temperance idea and the temperance societies that were built around it generally promoted the idea of voluntary moderation , in which alcohol should only be consumed in small amounts and intoxication should be strictly avoided .
This was considered healthy living .
Previously , in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries , Americans had on average consumed very large amounts of alcohol , but throughout the day , as a calorie and beverage substitute , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
During the heyday of the Temperance movement ( 1830–60 ) historians actually found a sizeable caloric deficit in the American diet .
Even though it is still a matter of some debate , scientists have consistently found that consuming small , regular amounts of fermented alcoholic beverages is indeed healthy living .
Moderate drinkers , for whatever reason , live longer than heavy drinkers and people who do not drink at all .
This is probably because beer has nutrients and red wine has resveratrol , both of which are considered health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beer and wine increase longevity is that they reduce stress and promote happiness .
The reasons could be demographic as well .
Despite the success of the Temperance movement , there were calls to prohibit distilled spirits , and eventually for complete alcohol prohibition .
The Maine laws , establishing total statewide prohibition , were passed and repealed in the 1850s .
Several states passed alcohol prohibition later in the nineteenth century , and that continued , with alternations , until the Eighteenth Amendment made alcohol prohibition nationwide during the peak of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notably Irving Fisher , were big proponents of alcohol prohibition .
They held the idealistic views that alcohol prohibition could be effectively enforced and that prohibition would lead to a better life at both work and home .
They continued to hold these views despite the dreadful real-world results that they could plainly see .
As H. L. Menchen noted as early as 1925 , There is not less crime , but more .
There is not less insanity , but more .
The cost of government is not smaller , but vastly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increased , but diminished .
In my work I have shown that while there was a small decline in overall alcohol consumption during the period ( it should be noted that some people gave up consuming alcohol altogether ) , there was a massive shift from beer and wine to more harmful spirits .
And most of those spirits , e.g.
, whiskey , were much stronger and not produced commercially , containing impurities and poisons .
The small decline , then , is no success whatsoever .
In addition , Prohibition caused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population .
The murder rate went from around 6 to about 10 per 100,000 .
After Prohibition ended , the murder rate began to decline back to the rate of 6 per 100,000 .
The rates of other serious crime also increased during Prohibition .
Before Prohibition and the Harrison Narcotics Act ( 1914 ) , there had been 4,000 federal convicts , fewer than 3,000 of whom were housed in federal prisons .
By 1932 the number of federal convicts had increased 561 percent , to 26,589 , and the federal prison @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , corruption by public officials , especially Prohibition agents , police , mayors , and judges , increased and organized crime expanded enormously .
These results , while surprising to many at the time , should have been expected .
They should have been expected for reasons of economic theory .
American economists at the time were generally of the Institutionalist and historicist bent .
As far as they were concerned , if you raised the cost of alcohol , you would reduce consumption and therefore the policy would be successful .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it does change prices , it also changes everything else—production , distribution , consumption—with important side effects on law enforcement , the judicial system , criminal organization , and more .
Marijuana and the Future of Prohibition The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 might be even more of an historical embarrassment for Americans .
In this case , there was no perception of a social problem , unless you believed the ridiculous storylines of the B-rated movies of the time , e.g.
, Reefer Madness .
Representatives from many industries , such as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ field , testified before Congress that cannabis was both safe and effective for a variety of ailments , while others testified to its widespread applications in industry ( i.e.
, hemp ) .
The costs of cannabis prohibition in taxes , deaths , imprisonments , crime , corruption—the list can go on and on—are incalculable but are certainly on par with any war in American history .
The costs are so widespread , and so many people are now aware of the benefits of cannabis , that ideologically the American people who support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ percent in the early 1970s to 67 percent today .
Support for legalized medical cannabis is approaching 100 percent and is strong even among the elderly .
That is all leading to political changes for the good .
Many American states have legalized cannabis for medical and recreational purposes , usually by a vote of the people .
This is all in defiance of federal and international law .
So why have the Feds not intervened to any great extent ?
My theory is that if they did start arresting people in states @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nullified by local juries and federal dominance over states would be brought into question .
I surveyed economists about their views on illegal drugs in 1991 and found that support for legalizing drugs among professional economists was no different than among general population adjusted for demographic characteristics .
I was also asked by Oxford University Press to write an entry on Milton Friedman ’ s views on drug prohibition .
My survey of his publications finds that the reasons he gives for his views were constantly changing over time , and that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real-world observations as a young man during alcohol prohibition .
I was also asked to survey professional economists for their published statements on illegal drugs .

A dental assistant said she was fired for her political views , particularly for supporting President Trump .

The end of alcohol prohibition in 1933 and the subsequent War on Drugs might just be what spreads a widespread revival of libertarianism and Austrian Economics.
On January 17, 1920, America embarked on an official policy of prohibiting alcohol nationwide backed by the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution and the Volstead Act. The idea had been tried before at the state and local levels and failed. Progressivism, the ideology of the age, however, provided optimism that government could produce a pure white Protestant society free of all social evils.
Also backing the optimism for alcohol prohibition’s success was the success of temperance movements that had begun to stir almost a century before. The temperance idea and the temperance societies that were built around it generally promoted the idea of voluntary moderation, in which alcohol should only be consumed in small amounts and intoxication should be strictly avoided. This was considered healthy living.
Previously, in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Americans had on average consumed very large amounts of alcohol, but throughout the day, as a calorie and beverage substitute, and rarely to the point of intoxication. During the heyday of the Temperance movement (1830–60) historians actually found a sizeable caloric deficit in the American diet.
Even though it is still a matter of some debate, scientists have consistently found that consuming small, regular amounts of fermented alcoholic beverages is indeed healthy living. Moderate drinkers, for whatever reason, live longer than heavy drinkers and people who do not drink at all. This is probably because beer has nutrients and red wine has resveratrol, both of which are considered health promoters. Others argue that the reason beer and wine increase longevity is that they reduce stress and promote happiness. The reasons could be demographic as well.
Despite the success of the Temperance movement, there were calls to prohibit distilled spirits, and eventually for complete alcohol prohibition. The Maine laws, establishing total statewide prohibition, were passed and repealed in the 1850s. Several states passed alcohol prohibition later in the nineteenth century, and that continued, with alternations, until the Eighteenth Amendment made alcohol prohibition nationwide during the peak of the Progressive era.
Most American economists, notably Irving Fisher, were big proponents of alcohol prohibition. They held the idealistic views that alcohol prohibition could be effectively enforced and that prohibition would lead to a better life at both work and home. They continued to hold these views despite the dreadful real-world results that they could plainly see.
As H. L. Menchen noted as early as 1925,
There is not less crime, but more. There is not less insanity, but more. The cost of government is not smaller, but vastly greater. Respect for law has not increased, but diminished.
In my work I have shown that while there was a small decline in overall alcohol consumption during the period (it should be noted that some people gave up consuming alcohol altogether), there was a massive shift from beer and wine to more harmful spirits. And most of those spirits, e.g., whiskey, were much stronger and not produced commercially, containing impurities and poisons. The small decline, then, is no success whatsoever.
In addition, Prohibition caused an increase in crime and the prison population. The murder rate went from around 6 to about 10 per 100,000. After Prohibition ended, the murder rate began to decline back to the rate of 6 per 100,000. The rates of other serious crime also increased during Prohibition. Before Prohibition and the Harrison Narcotics Act (1914), there had been 4,000 federal convicts, fewer than 3,000 of whom were housed in federal prisons. By 1932 the number of federal convicts had increased 561 percent, to 26,589, and the federal prison population had increased 366 percent.
Of course, corruption by public officials, especially Prohibition agents, police, mayors, and judges, increased and organized crime expanded enormously.
These results, while surprising to many at the time, should have been expected. They should have been expected for reasons of economic theory. American economists at the time were generally of the Institutionalist and historicist bent. As far as they were concerned, if you raised the cost of alcohol, you would reduce consumption and therefore the policy would be successful. The problem with prohibition is that although it does change prices, it also changes everything else—production, distribution, consumption—with important side effects on law enforcement, the judicial system, criminal organization, and more.
Marijuana and the Future of Prohibition
The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 might be even more of an historical embarrassment for Americans. In this case, there was no perception of a social problem, unless you believed the ridiculous storylines of the B-rated movies of the time, e.g., Reefer Madness. Representatives from many industries, such as medicine, pharmaceuticals, and the veterinary field, testified before Congress that cannabis was both safe and effective for a variety of ailments, while others testified to its widespread applications in industry (i.e., hemp).
The costs of cannabis prohibition in taxes, deaths, imprisonments, crime, corruption—the list can go on and on—are incalculable but are certainly on par with any war in American history. The costs are so widespread, and so many people are now aware of the benefits of cannabis, that ideologically the American people who support legalization of cannabis has risen from 12 percent in the early 1970s to 67 percent today. Support for legalized medical cannabis is approaching 100 percent and is strong even among the elderly.
That is all leading to political changes for the good. Many American states have legalized cannabis for medical and recreational purposes, usually by a vote of the people. This is all in defiance of federal and international law. So why have the Feds not intervened to any great extent?
My theory is that if they did start arresting people in states that legalized cannabis, verdicts would be nullified by local juries and federal dominance over states would be brought into question.
I surveyed economists about their views on illegal drugs in 1991 and found that support for legalizing drugs among professional economists was no different than among general population adjusted for demographic characteristics.
I was also asked by Oxford University Press to write an entry on Milton Friedman’s views on drug prohibition. My survey of his publications finds that the reasons he gives for his views were constantly changing over time, and that the real fundamental reason might have been his real-world observations as a young man during alcohol prohibition.
I was also asked to survey professional economists for their published statements on illegal drugs. It was almost entirely Austrian economists and fellow travelers who supported the legalization of drugs.
The vexing opioid crisis is starting to get people to think that we need an entirely new approach to all drugs, including the idea the public policy of criminalization be replaced with a healthcare policy, both medical and mental, towards all drugs.
My view is that these positive outcomes of prohibitions will eventually be a major victory for libertarianism and Austrian economics, and that possibly these victories could impact American ideology and powerfully influence other public policies.
