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.

Two flew over the cuckoo’s nest | Salim Mansur

Comments Off

Apr 112020

The current drastic measures to reduce the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have people so much on edge that it is difficult to believe that we can come out of this unscathed psychologically and culturally.

Since 2001 most of us, especially those born since then, have become inured to a culture of surveillance but, with the current pandemic, we seem to be entering into an informant culture where everyone is suspected to be a possible bio-weapon.

Professor Salim Mansur likens our current predicament to Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with only a few of us realizing that we are in an institution for the insane.

This is a precarious time where the West’s very culture of individual freedom is in peril of being lost forever. Our situation is made all the worse since we are tacitly committing ourselves into an asylum of our own making.

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?

Globalism and why Johnny is a Marxist | Salim Mansur

Education, Globalism, Ideas, Latest, Politics, Reason, Society Comments Off

All political and cultural movements begin with an idea. In the case of globalism, that idea is Marxism.

The educators of the Western world over the past 75 or more years have, in various ways, made the ideas of Karl Marx part of the standard curricula of our public school systems and universities. The result is that we now have a population that is significantly illiterate, unable to reason, incapable of logic, ignorant of science, and unable to think independently.

Because of this dumbing down of the West people consequently find it easy to believe that CO2 is a pollutant, that Michael Bloomberg, who spent 500 million on his campaign, could have just given every American one million dollars, and that there are 63 genders.

Salim Mansur of Western University explains the process by which Marxists have, over a period of decades, infiltrated our academies of learning and altered them into institutions of globalist indoctrination and propaganda.

(In our discussion, Salim made note of a report by Stanley Kurtz of The National Association of Scholars. That report can be found here: https://www.nas.org/reports/the-lost-history-of-western-civilization.)

Globalism and the immigration weapon | Salim Mansur

Comments Off

Apr 022020

Canada is a country founded primarily by British and European pioneers and settlers with a form of governance based on the Westminster model and populated by a majority of people holding classical liberal political values.

Rather than celebrate the nature of Canada’s culture and its history of individual freedom, globalists, like Justin Trudeau wish to transform this country into a nation of people who are more amenable to socialist and collectivist values and who are more willing to be led from the United Nations rather than Ottawa.

The recent plan of Trudeau and his Liberal government to have millions of immigrants overwhelm and replace the current population of Canada is yet another step in the operation of transforming Canada into a nation of docile collectivists led by a cabal of globalist elites.

This gradual process of cultural suicide is discussed here with Professor Salim Mansur of Western University.

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.
