652 – The COVID-19 credibility gap

Apr 302020

Who can we believe? The growing gap between projected cases of COVID-19 in statistical models and the contrary evidence being revealed by daily accumulating data is becoming impossible to ignore.

Similarly, the permanent gap between Left and Right has also become impossible to ignore. Those on the Left want the shutdown to continue indefinitely, since that serves their communist and fascist ideologies of state control, prohibition, and censorship. The COVID-19 shutdown is a Leftist’s wildest dream come true. Those on the Right insist that the shutdowns be ended, claiming that there is no longer a need to do so in light of the fact that all of the fears originally justifying them are no longer an issue.

But more and more, the COVID-19 crisis is looking like a déjà vu of the climate change crisis, the United Nations-led conspiracy to destroy capitalism on a global scale.

Indeed, the very same propaganda tactics and terminology for fighting climate change are now being used for fighting the coronavirus. For example, what were once ‘climate change deniers’ are now ‘coronavirus deniers.’ Continue reading »

650 – Omnipotent State—of emergency

Comments Off

Apr 162020

US President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are moving in opposite directions when it comes to ending the COVID-19 shut down.

“This will be the new normal until a vaccine is developed,” Trudeau was quoted saying in an April 11 National Post report. If so, that would mean a minimum of one to three years, given the usual best time in which a vaccine can be developed.

In contrast, Donald Trump says “I want to get it open as soon as we can; we have to get our country open.” With May 1 targeted as his primary re-opening date, Trump has also gone on record saying he would like to see parts of the country open up even sooner than that.

With COVID-19 statistics falling far short of expectations, and looking more like average or lower than average annual flu numbers, government officials in tandem with the medical profession are warning of a second or third wave, having apparently implied that we have already been through the first wave.

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?

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.

Flattening the American economy | Salim Mansur

Economics, Health Care, Latest, Law, Politics, Society Comments Off

Mar 232020

In a case of the cure being worse than the disease, President Trump is asking if the “flattening of the curve” is worth the destruction of the United States economy. He has indicated that he is not willing to let that happen with a Tweet today suggesting that a different approach to this crisis may be decided upon 15 days from today (March 23rd).

Salim Mansur, Professor Emeritus at Western University, shares Trump’s concern and suggests that the recent blocking of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) by the Democrats in the US Senate is an attempt to impose the Green New Deal by stealth. A new deal that would permanently cripple the United States economy.

China’s crimes against humanity | Salim Mansur

Communist China’s mishandling of the novel coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent deaths are a direct result of their authoritarian rulers who should be indicted for crimes against humanity says Professor Salim Mansur of Western University.

Misinformation, disinformation, outright lies, and cover-ups are business as usual for the Chinese Communist Party which has already been responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of their citizens since the revolution of 1949.

In light of the current health crisis, the rest of the world should reconsider its cozy relationship with China and treat them as the adversary to individual freedom that they are.

Contagion — China’s new weapon for economic dominance | Salim Mansur

Comments Off

Mar 222020

Salim Mansur, Professor Emeritus at Western University, says that the Chinese Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping, must be held to account for their deliberate mishandling of the Wuhan Virus outbreak and waging war on the rest of the world with the spread of this contagion.

Salim also expresses his fear that the drastic economic measures being implemented throughout the world, but especially in Canada, maybe going too far and causing more misery and suffering than they are trying to alleviate.
