When Corporations Serve As a Front for Government Censors

by
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. We must, therefore, be on our guard against extremists who urge us to adopt police state measures. Such persons advocate breaking down the guarantees of the Bill of Rights in order to get at the communists. They forget that if the Bill of Rights were to be broken down, all groups, even the most conservative, would be in danger from the arbitrary power of government.”—Harry S. Truman, Special Message to the Congress on the Internal Security of the United States (August 8, 1950) Nothing good can come from allowing the government to sidestep the Constitution.

For several years now, and especially since the beginning of the COVID-19 “pandemic” fiasco, we have been told that the world needs a “great reset.” World Economic Forum (WEF) executive chairman Klaus Schwab famously said in June of 2020: “The COVID- 19 crisis has shown us that our old systems are not fit any more for the 21st century. In short, we need a great reset.” He challenged the world to “act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.” He called for every county, “from the United States to China,” and every industry, “from oil and gas to tech,” to be transformed. The need of the world is a “‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.” This will require “stronger and more effective governments” to “implement long-overdue reforms that promote more equitable outcomes,” make “large-scale spending programs” to “advance shared goals, such as equality and sustainability,” and “harness the innovations ...

The Right of Private Property in a Healthcare Crisis

by
During the Covid crisis, the federal government and state governments imposed mask mandates, vaccine requirements, and lockdowns on private businesses. Such measures were, of course, illegitimate exercises of governmental power. As I have long pointed out, however, the ultimate solution to such measures lies not in playing an endless game of whack-a-mole against them but rather to constitutionally separate healthcare and the state entirely at both the federal and state levels, just as our ancestors constitutionally separated religion and state. Once federal and state governments are prohibited from providing or regulating healthcare, people no longer have to concern themselves with playing that endless game of whack-a-mole against tyrannical healthcare measures.
