Walter Block’s correspondence with one Kevin Wildes, a Jesuit priest who is the former president of Loyola University-New Orleans (and Walter’s employer) reveals what a lying, hateful, unholy, fraudulent creep the guy is.  Wildes’ letter to the editor posted in the blog is dated December 26.  That means that this Catholic priest spent a part of Christmas day composing a lie-filled, hateful, smear of Walter Block, ending with a juvenile insult to the editor of the New Orleans publication that published an article about how the current Loyola University-New Orleans bureaucracy apparently uses brainwashed, leftist students to lie about the very un-“woke” Professor Block.  Walter’s ace in the hole against this latest outrageous act of libel against him by Loyola University-New Orleans, which should be sued for it, is that he taped every minute of every lecture last semester, when the student stooges claim that he made . . . . . . wait for it, wait for it . . . . . . . . racist remarks.  He has informed the left-wing nut provost who is attacking him of this, and got no response.

Every economist in the world, and anyone who ever read an introductory economics text, knows that productivity differences are the main determinant of wage differences in market economies.  That in fact is why parents send their children to universities like Loyola University-New Orleans — they hope that one benefit will be that they will be more productive in whatever job or career they pursue, and that that will mean a higher lifetime income.  The communist tyrants at Loyola University-New Orleans forced Professor Block to go through “sensitivity training” for stating in class the exact same thing that every other economics professor in the world states in class about the link between labor productivity and wages.  Not everyone is equally productive, you see, so to even mention this subject is “insensitive.”  It offends the lazy, unmotivated, derelict, alcohol-soaked students in the class.

Send your kid to Loyola University-New Orleans and there is a good chance that he will come out as an ignorant, loud-mouthed barbarian, just like Kevin Wildes and his ilk.

Subject: Slow Day

Dear Mr. Gill,

Your recent column about Walter Block caught my eye as I scanned the internet.  After reading your column I can only guess that it must have been a slow news day.

Gill, James. 2021. “This professor was accused of racism in class. But he recorded his lectures.” The Advocate, Times-Picayune; December 26;

https://www.nola.com/opinions/james_gill/article_c522ccd4-62ad-11ec-8f5c-7f919e76095d.html

I was neither surprised by your column nor was I surprised by Prof. Block and his remarks.  The academy lives through a commitment to finding truth and the free expression of ideas and thoughts.   However, Professor Block prefers to engage in superficial slogans and sayings (rather than engaging in serious scholarship and arguments).  Serious scholarship and argument takes place in blind, peer-reviewed, referred journals rather than in saying provocative things in class to annoy or entertain young people.

At the same I hope that journalism would address serious issues rather than wasting its time on trivial entertainment by a professor.  Your columns remind me of a quote from Abraham Lincoln:  “He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know”.

Subject: RE: Slow Day

Dear Fr. Wildes:

Good to hear from you again. I hope and trust all’s well with you in your new academic post.

I agree with you that the gold standard for scholarship can be found in “in (double) blind, peer-reviewed, refere(e)d journals.”

I have over 600 such publications.

Just out of curiosity, how many do you have?

Best regards,

Walter

As of today, 1/10/22, Fr. Wildes, SJ has not yet condescended to respond. I have no doubt he soon will

California’s “public health” bureaucracy is allowing hospitals to force asymptomatic COVID-positive employees to go to work thanks to the state-created massive shortages of hospital employees caused by the state’s government chemical injection mandate.

Since the CDC has admitted that the PCR test cannot distinguish between ordinary flu and “COVID,” it’s likely that many of these people have the flu and must now go back into the hospital or lose their jobs, giving their flu to the sick, elderly patients that comprise the majority of virtually all hospital patients.  Either that or Newsome understands that the PCR test is complete bullshit and that no such danger is likely.

OK, it’s official: we can all remove our diapers now and breathe freely. A maskhole and “epidemiologist[,] Andrew Noymer, an associate professor of population health and disease prevention at UC Irvine” has decreed, “In the face of the highly transmissible omicron, the cloth masks are pure theater … They don’t do anything.”

Alas, I spoke too precipitously about freedom. Maskhole urges instead,

“You have to mask better than before,” while “the California Department of Public Health offers this assessment of masks’ ability to ward off COVID-19:

Most effective: N95

More effective: KF94, KN95, double mask, fitted surgical mask

Effective: Surgical mask

Least effective: Fabric mask with three or more cloth layers”

And what does a professional in “industrial hygiene” make of this twaddle? Fortunately, LRC counts among its readers Herman Mayfarth, who analyzed Maskhole’s nonsense for us:

No kidding. Knowledgeable professionals, including some of Prof. Noymer’s better educated medical colleagues, have been saying [masks don’t do anything] for the past TWO YEARS.

The appropriate professional qualification for specifying correct a) selection, b) use, and c) disposal of effective personal protective equipment (PPE), including, but not limited to, respiratory protection, is industrial hygiene, not medicine.

Industrial hygienists are degreed scientific and engineering professionals who specialize in protecting human life from environmental hazards.

Those of us who have been trained to work safely in IDLH (immediate danger to life and health) environments have realized from the get go that the “face mask” requirements of the COVID-19 era are utterly useless as PPE, and, as bad theater, serve only to discredit those who promote them.

Nor are N95 masks, a.k.a. dust mask respirators, likely to offer much protection, particularly if worn improperly.

While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection from germs and other contaminants because of the loose fit between the surface of the mask and your face.

An N95 respirator is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles. Note that the edges of the respirator are designed to form a seal around the nose and mouth.

N95 respirators are not designed for children or people with facial hair. Because a proper fit cannot be achieved on children and people with facial hair. [Note: If the government were serious about this, beards would be outlawed, for “public health reasons.” So far, this has not happened.]

And let’s pray it doesn’t. Remember that recently shaved beards are a sign of terrism, according to Our Rulers. Gracious, if the manliest among us shed their bristles, why, their own government might try to kill them.

Oh, wait: it’s already trying with the clot-shot. Never mind.

We return to Mr. Mayfarth’s observations:

Most N95 respirators are manufactured for use in construction and other industrial type jobs that expose workers to dust and small particles. They are regulated by the National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory (NPPTL) in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

However, some N95 respirators are intended for use in a healthcare setting. Specifically, single-use, disposable respiratory protective devices used and worn by healthcare personnel during procedures to protect both the patient and healthcare personnel from the transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material. These surgical N95 respirators are class II devices regulated by the FDA, under 21 CFR 878.4040, and CDC NIOSH under 42 CFR Part 84.

N95s respirators regulated under product code MSH are class II medical devices.

Experts like Mr. Mayfarth can inveigh all they like against the absurdity that masks can prevent disease and COVIDCon’s destruction of their field. Doesn’t matter. The scamdemic will never relinquish this very visible and effective symbol of submission to the State.

Please pray for Laurence’s speedy recovery.  He’s a great friend and a fearless freedom fighter.

Joshua Dorne provides a precise answer.

Here’s succinct but powerful testimony from a nurse to the New Hanover [North Carolina] School Board about COVIDCon. I’m not sure that we need yet more proof of the murder the plandemic has disguised, of the government’s war on its serfs, of the collusion among all major institutions, from academia to the media to the medical profession; the evidence already towers sky-high, and those who reject it are cultists.

Nonetheless, perhaps someone somewhere can still be persuaded. To that end I thank Kathleen in Florida, not only for sending the link to this video but for providing a transcript her brother made:

I’m (nurse) Morgan Wallace. I am a 10-year employee of New Hanover County (hospital). I worked in cardiovascular ICU for five years; I was your last line of defense with COVID.

We ran your heart and lungs outside your body with your chest open while you were bleeding on the floor. And what I realized was that patients were needlessly dying because of (the) government withheld policies for treating COVID.

Everyone who died with COVID should be considered murdered. Early treatment has always been effective.

I walked out of the hospital on the mandate day. I have my own practice, and I am the only person in town treating COVID patients prior to hospitalization.

I also watched the entire staff at the hospital including in my unit get vaccinated, and then get COVID. Amongst all other kinds of ailments, you have now loaded your body with millions of spike proteins and you are a ticking time bomb for cancer, blood clots, and whatever kind of ailment may come up in your body.

And I’m tired of hearing people go and ask doctors can they be treated for COVID, and their only option is a vaccine, or go home, or go into the hospital where you’re not going to make it out.

I’ll be happy to treat any one of you for COVID prior going to the hospital because early treatment has always worked. I’m a member of the FLCCC Alliance, NC Physicians for Freedom, and the Medical Freedom Summit.

And I would ask you all to please stop choosing fear and putting masks on our kids. The vaccine is not gonna work, early treatment has always worked, and government mismanagement of patients is why people have died.

And families have realized this and they are rising up and they are going to come after governments and the hospital.

I was highly decorated and highly respected at New Hanover. I was the November 2020 employee of excellence, and I had a job opportunity this year from the chief medical director at the hospital and I chose to walk out and stand up for what is right.

So putting these masks on our kids is not going to help, nor is vaccination, and we all need to realize that.

The cat is out of the bag and people are speaking globally, including the inventor of the vaccine.

Kudos to Ms. Wallace. Pray that the Lord protects her from the vengeful powers-that-shouldn’t-be; they enjoy yanking dissidents’ licenses.

Duck and Cover is a 1952 civil defense animated live-action social guidance film shown in schools aimed at students that is often popularly characterized as ridiculous Cold War propaganda. Seventy years later people laugh and point out how dramatically absurd the simplistic ideas of kids getting under their classroom desks or dropping in place and covering their heads would save them from the effects of a thermonuclear bomb.

How will generations in the future assess the widespread Mass Formation Psychosis and utter COVID-19 hysteria induced by biosecurity totalitarians and their futile, ineffective policy regimens of masking and vaccine mandates be viewed?

Bert the Turtle is no more than Dr. Anthony Fauci in an helmet.

Some 15 TSA workers [sic for ‘perverts and thieves’] tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday at the Orlando International Airport as Omicron continues to surge. …A spokesperson for the TSA says despite all these call-outs at MCO, wait times at security checkpoints haven’t been affected.

So why not tell these leeches to find productive and actual work instead of returning to torment taxpayers?

Are masks and their deprivations of oxygen killing brain cells the incredibly stupid population can ill afford to lose? Or are COVIDCon’s true believers already devoid of any intelligence whatsoever?

Regardless, a mother in Texas “stuffed her 13-year-old son in the trunk of her car — because he tested positive for COVID-19 and she didn’t want to get exposed, authorities said.” This cretin is 41, old enough to know better.

Two guesses as to her profession: yep, teacher. Though maybe not for much longer: “a warrant was issued for [Sarah] Beam’s arrest Friday on child endangerment charges. … She has been placed on administrative leave.”

Firing her would be too sensible, so no doubt the union will win her reinstatement.

Meanwhile, with his mother caged, wanna bet the poor kid who survived his ride in the trunk climbed out of it into the merciless arms of Child Protective Services?

You gotta love Leviathan: always turning a really horrific situation far worse.

Responding to Now I’ve Heard Everything, Monnie Matthews alerted me to Unvaxxer.com, “Dating for Unvaccinated Singles.” He adds,

I don’t know much about this site: when it was established, how many are using it, etc. But just knowing this one (and maybe others) is available could be a source of encouragement for other unjabbed singles.

And that is the spirit in which we offer this link, rather than urging you to the depths of immorality, as Our obscene Rulers do.

It was reported yesterday that during oral arguments before the supreme court Justice Stephen Breyer said that it is inconceivable that blocking Biden’s vaccine mandate for private employers is “in the public interest.”

First of all, there is no such thing as “the public interest.”  There are some 330 million people in the U.S. and we all have our interests.  This is especially true regarding the “vaccine” mandate since everyone knows that there are millions of members of the public who oppose it.  That’s why the issue is before the court.

Breyer knows this.  He knows there are tradeoffs here, but speaks as though there are not, and that allowing the mandate will benefit every single American — the “public.”  Such talk is the language of Rousseau, the intellectual godfather of communism, who claimed that there exists some mysterious “general will” that only a select few understand, and because of that understanding they are somehow empowered to use whatever force, coercion, and violence that they can muster to impose that “general will” on all of society.

Alexander Hamilton used dozens of synonyms for “the general will” to argue for myriad government interventions during his day, as I document in my book, Hamilton’s Curse.  There is even a scholarly article about Hamilton entitled “Alexander Hamilton:  Rousseau of the Right,” by Cecelia Kenyon, Political Science Quarterly, vol. 73, 1958.  Lawyers like Breyer are the legal/political descendants of Hamilton, the darling of the New York City/Broadway commie Left (and of the statist Pat Buchananite Right).

Breyer understands the economic concept of tradeoffs.  Before he was on the court he authored a textbook entitled Regulation and its Reform (1984) that was and is widely used in law schools.  It explained among other things the thinking behind the deregulation of trucking, airlines, and oil during the late 1970s/early ’80s.  That is why he is corrupt:  He fully understands that “public interest” language — the language that “justified” all of this crony capitalist regulation in the first place — is nonsense and the language of tyrants, but spouts it anyway in a most sanctimonious way.  The pharmaceutical companies own Joe Biden and the Democrat party (the main legacy of Bill Cliniton), so people like Breyer must prostitute themselves in increasingly shameful and fraudulent ways.  (Not that they don’t also own most of the Republican party as well).

Learn who Alex Jones has named as ‘The Most Important Person in the World’ as the model for resistance to unchecked tyranny.

Jones says Tucker Carlson speaks the truth in the most understandable way that transcends left vs. right so citizens can better understand the danger humanity is in.

Glenn Greenwald apparently dug out this photo he took of D.C. on January 6, 2021.

. . . unless you look like Nancy Pelosi,” says a sign outside Preslee’s Southern-Style Restaurant in Houston.  The Democrat party organized its usual online hate-and-smear campaign against the restaurant, but that only made the place more popular than ever.  “We’ve never been busier,” says the owner, and it’s only the beginning of crawfish season.  (Below the Pelosi gag on the sign is “Let’s Go Brandon!”).

From the formation of the Federal Reserve Bank & Big Pharma to the Great Reset. America stands at the crossroads. Please watch this very concise overview and focus upon the dire existential threats Americans and their families face from the elite globalist oligarchs.

The Liberal Fantasy of the Capitol Coup, by Simon Cottee

Just like after 9/11, America’s elites have weaponised their trauma

When, after 9/11, the neocons agitated for regime change in the Middle East, they believed that history was on their side: so they conjured up the existential threat of weapons of mass destruction, just in case history had other ideas. More than a decade later, this tactic has found favour with a wholly different tribe: America’s liberal establishment.

Just like the neocons before them, they are bewitched by the prospect of war with an enemy they believe poses a threat to their way of life. The only difference is that this deadly menace doesn’t live in some far-off land, but right at home. They might even live next door.

As The New York Times put it in an editorial last week, “the Republic faces an existential threat from a movement that is openly contemptuous of democracy and has shown that it is willing to use violence to achieve its ends”. And there is only one way to survive this threat: to “mobilise at every level”. The NYT was, of course, referring to the attack on the Capitol last January: “Jan. 6 is not in the past,” we’re warned. “It is every day”.

. . . every time a “high-profile” person who has taken the “vaccination” dies almost immediately from it?  Of course not; that would be barbaric, inhuman, and deeply immoral.  But it is exactly what the Left does, isn’t it, every time a high-profile person who has not been jabbed is said to have died from or with COVID.  Just another example of the unique barbarism and hatred of humanity by the Left.

January 6, 2021 Defenders of the American Republic Besiege the US Capitol to Stop the illegal, Unconstitutional Coup Installing the Usurper Biden.

The Bonus Marcher Army Besiege the US Capitol. The Bonus Army was a group of 43,000 demonstrators – made up of 17,000 U.S. World War I veterans, together with their families and affiliated groups – who gathered in Washington, D.C. in mid-1932 to demand early cash redemption of their service certificates. Organizers called the demonstrators the “Bonus Expeditionary Force”, to echo the name of World War I’s American Expeditionary Forces, while the media referred to them as the “Bonus Army” or “Bonus Marchers”.

July 14, 1789 the French People Storm the Bastille, thus beginning the French Revolution.

I originally posted this blog at LewRockwell.com one year ago today. Much has happened in that year but the revolutionary struggle intensifies and continues against the forces of entrenched counter-revolutionary repression of the Usurper Biden regime and its savage assault on American rights and liberties. In this year we have seen the faux confidence and blind deferential trust supposedly engendered by the alleged 2020 electoral victory by the totalitarian Democrats erode to where the ubiquitous chant “Let’s Go Brandon” resounds throughout the land, demonstrating the utter contempt the people hold these electoral thieves and their failed draconian policies on every level.

Dear Prof. Block,

Almost 7 years ago, we met at the 65 anniversary of the Mises Institute, in New York. I was just coming out of law school in Colombia, and was lucky enough to win a scholarship to attend this event. There, after you were conversing with a couple of us attendants, between lectures, I pulled you aside to ask you something. I needed some advice and you gave it to me generously. I was inquiring you about the usefulness of getting a PhD. I will never forget that the first answer you gave to me was “why are in you interested in getting one?” My top-of-my-mind answer was to get more knowledge. You laughed, then said “take the money and buy books, it’s just so much cheaper.” You made me realize that the most important thing to take into consideration when considering a PhD is the credential. You told me, that the only thing that matters when making such a decision is take into consideration if, interested in going into academia, a university was to take more seriously with one. To this day I think it has been one, if not the most important piece of advice anyone has given me.

Taking that advice very seriously, I went along and sought the PhD. You also wrote the most generous letter of recommendation, that ended supporting my application. It did wonders. I ended up getting my doctorate in law (Doctor iuri) in Germany, at the Bucerius Law School, in law & economics, studying under Hans-Bernd Schäfer. A couple of days ago, when I was watching the debate you had with Phillip Bagus -whom I met when I was living in Europe, I realized I have never thanked you for all the support and aid.  Thank you, dear Prof. Block.

I am now back in Colombia, teaching and researching at a university. I teach law & economics (which, to be frank, ends up being more economics than law, and I take this opportunity to advance Austrian Economics and freedom along with my students. With them, I have started a modest think tank, which demands more and more time of every day it passes.

I still hope we would meet again.

All the best.

. . . but no useful information at all about how to improve your health.  That’s how I would characterize Loyola University Maryland’s Covid policy, which is probably identical to hundreds of other colleges and universities.  All faculty, staff, students and everyone else must be “vaccinated” or lose your job or drop out of school.  “Boosters” are required every six months for Moderna or Pfizer poison jabs, and every two months for the J&J poison jab.  Proof of a negative PCR test is required for returning to campus after a break.  Only packaged meals are served on campus.  Yum.  There is “surveillance testing” of the vaccinated, which sounds like creepy spying and invasion of privacy.  Masks are required at all times in any classroom or any other building.  There is also contact tracing and much more East-Germany-during-the-Cold-War type behavior.

No mention at all, whatsoever, of anything anyone could do to boost his or her immunity, like taking vitamins C, D3, and Zinc, half hour a day or more of sunshine to generate vitamin D, moderate exercise to increase your oxygen intake, or anything else.  No mention either of any therapeutics that could be helpful if you are sick with “Covid.”

The spectacular, catalyzing terror attack of 9/11 was not allowed to happen. It was made to happen. But why? Who, other than the devout Muslim suicide warriors posited by the official 9/11 conspiracy theorists, would do such a thing? And for what purpose?

TRANSCRIPT

(more…)

…women who have had the COVID vaccine are being shunned in the dating scene by potential partners due to issues with possible birth defects and infertility.

And so naturally,

Women in New York have started lying about their vaccination status because of widespread perception among men that they are infertile or will bear children with birth defects. One man, who wants to remain anonymous, said:

“In clubs, they claim they’re NOT vax’d. They say things like ‘Oh COVID is bullshit‘ or ‘I don’t want to try this new experimental shot‘.

However, after going out with them several times, the women finally admit they took the vax . . . and watch as most potential husbands leave them almost on the spot.”

Hey, if I were a guy looking over today’s nubile choices, virtually all of them ruined beyond repair by feminism, I’d walk away pronto. If milady’s Jab can protect men from a lifetime of heartache, well, there’s always a silver lining, isn’t there?

Thanks to Bill Martin for sharing this cautionary tale.

Two suspicious problems attend the publication of RFK’s blockbuster The Real Anthony Fauci, according to blogger J.R. Nyquist in a column oh-so-appropriately entitled “An American Mengele.”

The first is the corporate media’s two-pronged, deafening silence:

Has Robert Kennedy unfairly slandered Anthony Fauci? Who in the media has risen to defend the little doctor against these charges?  So far, my Google searches turn up nothing – which is odd. We would expect Google to advance Fauci’s narrative by underscoring his defenders. …When Senator Rand Paul attacked Fauci, the media defended the little doctor. But when Kennedy accuses Fauci of being a criminal of unprecedented brutality and corruption, the media acts as if nothing has been said. This is perhaps the most astonishing twist of all. Never have so many said so little about so much. Of course, mainstream media outlets will not advertise Kennedy’s book. They do not dare review it. Kennedy’s publisher, Tony Lyons, said, “I defy you to find a single case where the No. 1 bestselling book over a 16-day period has not been mentioned in one mainstream newspaper in the country. We pitched Bobby Kennedy to all of the mainstream media outlets: television, newspapers, and none of those places have even asked to see a copy of the book. So they don’t care about the content, and they’re not trying to refute any of the claims.”

Then there’s Falsi’s ad hominem attack in response to Mr. Kennedy’s contentions of his criminality. When the opposition can only hurl insults, it betrays the lack of a factual counter-argument:

On 22 December Dr. Fauci responded to Kennedy’s 934[sic]-page book, The Real Anthony Fauci, by saying, “It really is a shame that he is attacking me in my career… If you look at my career there are not a lot of people that would be attacking my career, but he seems to do that. It’s very unfortunate because I don’t think he is inherently malicious. I just think he’s a very disturbed individual. And I … don’t like to have to say that, but it’s very, very clear. And it’s a shame because he comes from such an extraordinarily distinguished family, many members of whom I know personally, and I was very close to Senator Ted Kennedy, who was such an extraordinary person and a real warrior for public health. And to have RFK Jr. just spouting things that make absolutely no sense.”

Does Kennedy’s book make absolutely no sense? Unfortunately, Kennedy’s book explains a lot. Rather, it is Fauci’s response that makes no sense. And it is very, very clear that Mr. Kennedy is logical, convincing and knowledgeable. If Kennedy has his facts wrong then Fauci should take him to court. He should seek vindication. But Fauci does not do that. Why? Fauci says Kennedy is “a very disturbed individual.” How so? This is no proper defense, Dr. Fauci. It is, in fact, the kind of reply one would expect from a guilty criminal. That is how I read it. Or am I to understand that “America’s doctor,” Anthony Fauci, has become a psychiatrist? – that he can diagnosis Robert Kennedy as mentally ill and we are all supposed to bow down and believe? I see no evidence that Kennedy is “a very disturbed individual.” I see a 934-page book full of footnotes and testimony showing that Fauci is a criminal. If only half the charges are true, Fauci should be put on trial, convicted, and hanged. Attacking Robert Kennedy, Jr. is beside the point. Fauci must defend his reputation by answering the charges. If he cannot, then the wheels of justice should grind him down.

Ah, but they won’t in this utterly corrupt USSA. For those wheels to even begin spinning, Patriots will have to annihilate the Marxists subjugating our country.

The government’s case against Elizabeth Holmes essentially boils down to the fact that her product didn’t work. And vengeful, showboating Leviathan threatens to punish her savagely for that failure.

Intriguing that when the Jab clearly doesn’t work as well, the State breathes out not even the slightest hint of retribution against Big Pharma.
