As I argued in October of 2022, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter (now X) would represent an important test case for the freedom of speech on social media against the globalist, woke, and totalitarian agenda for the censorship of “hate speech,” “misinformation,” and “disinformation.” In that essay, I also predicted that one of the main obstacles for free speech on X would be the Digital Services Act (DSA) of the European Union (EU), as administered by the European Commission (EC).

As if we needed further confirmation, the recent and mysterious withdrawal of Joe Biden from the presidential race—issued in a post on X on Sunday July 21, not on official White House or presidential letterhead but rather under a “Joseph R. Biden, Jr.” masthead—is proof-positive that the “our democracy” mantra endlessly mouthed by establishment shills has been nothing but utter doublespeak and an attempt at mass deception.

By calling the occurrence on July 13 the event, I do not at all mean to suggest that it was not an attempted assassination of Trump. I call it the event because, whatever its cause(s) and explanation(s), it has been immediately mobilized to further regime objectives and to displace regime criminality and horrors from the national and international consciousness.
In terms of immigration, what we are dealing with today—in the US and in Europe—is an intentionally state-induced, NGO-abetted, and leftist-approved trauma to society. The state gains from a traumatized society, which becomes more helpless in its opposition to state power. Where state-induced immigration is concerned, trauma is experienced in terms of the robbing of taxpayers; the draining of the treasury; increased crime, drug, and human trafficking; and the insecurity that all these elements, combined, produce in the social order. The immigration crisis is not the result of “the unrestricted movement of human capital” across borders but rather an artificially induced assault on the social body. The “market” for immigration is being dramatically distorted by state interference and financial incentivization. (Originally published on the Mises Institute Wire. July 12, 2024).
Here I consider the ideological aspect of the Great Reset. Just how do the planners mean to establish the reset ideologically? That is, how would a reset of the mass mind come to pass that would allow for the many elements of the Great Reset to be put into place—without mass rebellion, that is?

COP28 has ended. While the 200 member states are not legally bound to execute anything treated in the agreement, delegates and climatologists have suggested that it will force the hands of nations, oil companies, industrial producers, and investors to divest from fossil fuels, accelerating a sea change toward renewable energy and climate change mitigation. Likewise, the terms, when pursued, will have a devastating impact on the world economy. (Originally published on the Mises Institute Wire. December 16, 2023.)
As climate activists gather in Abu Dhabi, there is trouble in climate paradise. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the meeting's host, is not on the same page with the climate apocalypse. This gives him the dreaded moniker of “climate denier.” (Originally published on the Mises Wire. December 9, 2023.)
As defined by the WEF, digital identity is “the sum total of the growing and evolving mass of information about us, our profiles and the history of our activities online. It relates to inferences made about us, based on this mass of information, which become new data points” (emphasis mine). Digital identity is thus not merely a new, more handy, lightweight, digital form of identification. It refers to a collection of data that purportedly defines who we are, including what we do both online and off-line—if “off-line” life can still be said to exist—and not merely to a means by which we can be identified as such.

In the fall of 2016, I began to have deviationist thoughts. That’s how my thoughts might have been labeled in the Soviet Union anyway—that is, had I lived through the Red Terror, the Stalinist purges, or the Great Terror. In fact, I might have been characterized as a “right deviationist.” Although I wasn’t living in the Soviet Union, a cultural revolution had been getting underway at home, and I was about to step right into the whirlwind.

A bottom-up libertarian localism that rejects federal funding and resists centralized control is the only viable way to defeat the totalitarian left and to restore the American republic. (Originally published in Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. October 1, 2023).
First, although I am the last speaker today, I will have to define what I mean by “the regime.” Just what is this regime that we speak of? The regime, of course, includes the government itself. The government, as I will show, is exerting its power to control expression and information, peddle official narratives, dictate to schools, and control and alter the substance of families themselves. It seeks to define and delimit our rights by suggesting that they have been accorded to us by the government in the first place…But the regime includes more than the government itself. It also consists of state apparatuses that are not strictly part of the government, per se, including corporate entities that have been drawn into the state’s ambit as state enablers and that effectively carry out state functions as state apparatuses. I’ve called these corporate state apparatuses “governmentalities.” (Text of the talk delivered on September 9, 2023 at the Mises Institute event in Nashville, TN entitled “Against Our Limitless Regime: An Empire of Lies.”)
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a not only a scion of the most famous political family in modern American history, but for the establishment, he also represents the most potentially damaging figure to throw his hat in the presidential ring in recent years.

With the appointment of Linda Yaccarino as Twitter's new CEO, Elon Musk is trying to appease woke advertisers to bring up his company's revenues. This will not end well. (Originally published on the Mises Institute Wire. May 24, 2023.)
American corporations are lavishing billions of dollars on leftist groups in the name of "equity." But many of them also are donating to even more questionable people and causes. (Originally published on the Mises Institute Wire. May 16, 2023.)
Tucker Carlson has rankled the ruling elites for many years. But was his interview with Robert Kennedy Jr. a bridge too far? (Originally published on the Mises Institute Wire. May 9, 2023.)
Tucker crossed significant establishment redlines and has finally suffered the consequences. He consistently argued that that the ruling elite hates the majority and consistently attacks it, that national sovereignty is being eroded, and that the electorate is being replaced. The redlines included his criticism of Volodymyr Zelensky and the U.S. involvement in the Ukrainian war, his criticism of the covid responses that destroyed the economy, his questioning of the vaccines, and his targeting by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for various “offenses.” (Originally published on the Mises Institute Wire.

First, I aim to show that China is the model for the Great Reset. China’s economic and political system, “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” is the globalists’ blueprint for West. Second, I address the role that China itself may play in the new globalist order. In addition to being a model, is China also a partner or a competitor with the Great Reset agenda? The answer to this question depends, in part, on understanding the relationships between China and the Western globalists. The terms of these relationships may be gleaned from Western investments in China’s economic and political system, and from the involvement of Chinese officials and other China-based notables in Western globalist NGOs, international governance bodies, corporations, banks, and universities.
