In a recent Quick Takes post I had, as the third item, three Bill Whittle videos all about conformity and brainwashing and how we often subsume our own independence to “go along to get along” with the crowd.

Joe Rogan – “We Have to Protect Those Freedoms at All Costs!”
Take 2 minutes of your time to watch this. Note: two F-words used so not entirely safe at work or around little ones:
Promoted from the Comments – Are creating City-States the way to go on splitting the Country?
(Image H/T: Unanimous AI) Both EdMosca and I commented on the same poll but from different aspects of it: Some Good News … More Americans Supporting Separating Into Two Countries Polling Numbers Favor Having an “Elected Monarch” …? However, it was one of the comments from his post that caught eye and I thought it … Read more
Paging JFK…
I have watched many video clips of protests against Jab mandates globally, and see growing numbers of instances of police behaving like actual brownshirts, not the admirable men & women in blue that I’ve respected in the past – Australia being a most notable example, one video:
Chief of Staff and US Army General Mark Milley
It has just been reported in the Washington Post that in Bob Woodward’s new book our Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley made two separate secret backchannel phone calls within a couple of months of each other to China’s top General.
Fear is the Mind Killer…
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

The Riddle of Steel – Liberty Version
As over 4,000 missiles were flying from Gaza towards Israel in a barrage that no country should endure or would be expected to endure were it any other country, I spoke with one of my best friends over there. This was around the time I wrote this topical piece at Liberty’s Torch.
“NH Senators and Reps Sent to DC Follow the Crowd like Vermin Followed the Pie Eyed Piper”
Seven months of Biden and his Marxists is the worst disaster in American history. Worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than Hurricanes Andrew or Katrina because these seven months were a self-inflicted wound.
Quick Takes: Hat Trick
Three quick-hit style bits of news & commentary. First, Thirteen Cuban refugees make it to Key West in a small rustic boat, are arrested upon arrival.
Quick Takes – Hat trick
1. Plans and agreements done in secret do not inspire confidence:
Below is a link to a purported copy of the agreement between the Israeli government and Pfizer. Per Dr. Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology:
Companies Consider Charging Unvaccinated Employees a Monthly COVID Fine
Here’s an idea whose time has come. Private businesses charging employees for the privilege of working for them. Who thinks this is a bad idea in a political climate willing to pay people to stay home?
Vaccination at the Point of a Gun
The time has ended, according to our infinitely compassionate overlords, for using the carrot. It has been decided that “for the greater good,” a stick will be needed to make the insubordinate masses finally comply.
Testing without Consent Is Tyranny! Masking without Consent Is Tyranny! Vaccination without Consent Is Tyranny!
In 1770 two regiments of British soldiers were being maintained in Boston. The colonists were outraged, so they formed a crowd and taunted the Red Coats. A young colonial “libertarian” was struck in the head by a Red Coat, which prompted a further surge in the crowd.
The Politicization of Public Health Has Reduced it to Unbelievability
Nearly a year ago, we posited a question. What if COVID is in 2020 What Climate Change was in 1980? Would institutions once tasked with searching for truth discover how much more convenient and lucrative it is to “find” whatever gets you funded?
So, Racism (Unlike Gender) Is Defined at Birth?
The science of the left is “pseudo” at best, fiction – more often than not – and otherwise just mad. Failure is not only an option; it is a justification to push harder in all the wrong directions, as is a blatant contradiction like racism vs. gender.
Free Speech is Not a Natural “Right” – So Says The Tyrannical “Left”
A former Danish Prime Minister (working as a censor and blacklister for Facebook) is doing us all a huge favor. Helle Thorning Schmidt, a Facebook Oversight Board member, has declared that free speech is not an absolute human right. How you may ask, is this a gift?
Independence Day – A View from the Left and from the Right
SHOT – from the permanently aggrieved NH “Journalist” Robert Azzi who, from the tremendous Privilege of being an American, never sees the good of or in America:
Does Your Government Suffer From Insurrection Dysfunction (ID)?
Left-Wing Democrats are not the stupidest people in American because there are people who believe what they say, which makes them dumber. And they are not all Dems. Case in point. The January 6th Capitol Building Protest.
The Cultural and Political Malpractice of Government as Doctor, Citizen as Patient
If the Physicians oath is to first do no harm, how does that translate to politics? Dr. government can do nothing without first doing harm (before we can even pretend that it means to do is good).
