653 – Pandemic parallels: The COVID-19 climate changer

Comments Off

May 072020

According to a report by NewsWars (May 6, 2020) “U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called for global leaders to ‘use the pandemic recovery’ to roll out their global climate change agenda, including allowing fossil fuel companies to collapse and using taxpayer stimulus money to fund green jobs.”

It was inevitable. COVID-19 meets climate change, two issues that have more in common than most expect. Right now, many ‘Green’ activists are in support of the politicians and health care officials who wish to extend the shut down indefinitely and thereafter maintain current state controls and regulations on all aspects of daily living.

With last week’s release of the environmental documentary Planet of the Humans, an interesting philosophical dilemma has surfaced. Produced by Left-wing environmentalists Michael Moore, Jeff Gibbs, and Ozzie Zehner, it should not be surprising that the movie is utterly anti-life and anti-capitalist. But shockingly to those both on the Left and the Right, the documentary presents a brutal and honest account of the environmental destruction wrought by ‘green’ alternate energy initiatives, particularly wind, solar, and biomass.

Given the abject environmental failure of the very initiatives once endorsed by the movie’s producers, they have now changed their tactics, identifying more with the destructive results of the state-imposed COVID-19 shutdown. Continue reading »

Trump, Bernier and a moratorium on immigration | Salim Mansur

Comments Off

Apr 232020

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order limiting the issuance of green cards while the United States is recovering from the coronavirus and the resulting high rates of unemployment. Similarly, in Canada, Maxime Bernier of the People’s Party has called for a moratorium on the excessive immigration numbers proposed by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government while the country experiences unemployment levels not seen since the great depression.

Salim Mansur of Western University agrees with the actions of Trump and Bernier and, in addition, calls for a free and open discussion on immigration levels, especially during these trying times.

The impending economic collapse | Salim Mansur

Economics, Latest, Video Comments Off

Apr 212020

As more data emerges it seems evident that various government responses to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are bringing the world to economic collapse.

Salim Mansur of Western University says that President Donald Trump has the right idea by encouraging individual U.S. States to come out of lock-down as soon as is realistically possible based on their own particular situation. Such a reasoned response is not on the horizon for Canada, however, which sees an increased authoritative and centralized reaction to the crisis.

649 – Prescriptions for a police state in the battle against COVID-19

Comments Off

Apr 092020

In dealing with the COVID-19 disease, it seems the most popular prescription has been the establishment of what amounts to a police state. Already, the necessary elements of a police state are firmly in place.

We have seen state-ordered shutdowns of economic activity and social assembly, the establishment of snitch lines, legal prohibitions regarding access to the commons, outrageous and unjust monetary fines and jail sentences for failing to ‘distance’, and propaganda campaigns based on dubious statistics and arguments. To say nothing of the unprecedented degree of government deficit spending.

What’s truly frightening is the delight that many in positions of power (and many in the public) are exhibiting with regard to keeping the shut down going for as long as possible.

That perhaps helps explain why the least popular prescription in dealing with COVID-19 is the prescription of drugs shown to be effective in actually treating the disease. And alarmingly, it’s beginning to look as if public health treatments sought to address the pandemic – like ventilators – may actually be another case of ‘the cure being worse than the disease.’

The grim projections regarding COVID-19 are falling far short of being realized. Yet our politicians persist with their destructive police state policies.

Consequently, we will shortly be facing truly grim projections, less about the still very low COVID-19 numbers, but more about the coming crisis caused by the political destruction of the global economy.

The question on everyone’s mind now is: Will things ever be Just Right again?

648 – Lies, damn lies, and statistics — about COVID-19

Comments Off

Apr 022020

Now that the first ‘two crucial weeks’ of a state-imposed lockdown have passed, we have entered a second ‘two crucial weeks’ period – with promises of more ‘two week crucial periods’ ahead of us – as everyone waits to see if the anticipated statistical predictions regarding COVID-19 actually come to pass.

First, we were faced with a coronavirus health pandemic. Then, world governments created a second crisis by shutting down their economies and precipitating an unemployment pandemic and a financial pandemic. Now, it appears that we have a serious COVID-19 ‘statistics crisis,’ which may, in the end, be the one most responsible for precipitating all the fear and panic concerning the first two.

An increasing number of analysts are calling into question the validity of COVID-19 projections based on extrapolations of very dubious data samplings. There is also evidence surfacing that the statistics are being manipulated to present a false picture of the situation.

For example, there is a huge difference between measuring ‘cases’ of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and measuring the number of people suffering from the COVID-19 disease. Yet our governments have intentionally decided to treat each of these very distinct concepts as being identical.

It is becoming increasingly recognized that the statistics cited in our daily COVID19 updates may not be statistically valid. and do not represent valid comparisons or projections. Continue reading »

647 – Spreading the Liberty Virus will defeat coronavirus

Mar 262020

Recent drastic actions taken by various global governments have called into question the wisdom of their forcing a ‘cure’ on the populace that is far worse than the disease.

“Facts. Not fear,” proclaim Canadian government officials as they proceed to terrify Canadians from coast to coast about the coronavirus. Yet the only ‘facts’ offered are meaningless statistics such as, for example, citing “688 cases with 5 in hospital and 19 deaths.”

How do these statistics (which are dwarfed by comparative statistics related to a host of other viral infections) possibly justify any of the actions being taken by our politicians? Do our politicians know something we don’t know? If so, not telling us is as big a crime as one can imagine.

We have been told that this is being done “to protect the health and safety of Canadians.” We have been told that this is being done “to flatten the curve and plank the curve.” We have been told that things “will get worse before they get better.” Continue reading »

Donald J. Trump — A leader for our time | Salim Mansur

Comments Off

Mar 252020

There have been times throughout history where a particular moment calls for a certain type of person to lead. World War II had its Churchill. The American Civil War had its LIncoln. The Falklands War had Margaret Thatcher. Today with a lethal pandemic not seen since the 1918 Spanish Flu the world has Donald J. Trump.

No other leader but President Trump has acted so quickly in response to this crisis, restricting travel, reducing regulation, putting together a relief package, and finally recognizing that, in the end, the economy must not be destroyed in the process and a balance must be found.

Salim Mansur, Professor Emeritus at Western University, puts President Trump amongst the greatest leaders in history as we watch this disease spread, destroying lives and economies as it goes.
