How To Defeat China Economically? Don’t Follow Its Worst Practices
COVID Policy Reinforces Chinese Communist Party Tyranny
The Chinese were long used to authoritarian social controls, but popular anger exploded at the imposition of brutal totalitarian restrictions.
Europe’s Energy Worries Grow
Europe’s energy shortages – exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – were originally caused by low wind resources, increased demand from COVID lockdowns, and cut backs of natural gas by Russia. Despite putting Europeans in energy poverty, the EU and UK are keeping to their energy transition rushing into wind and solar power, rather than using domestically produced oil, natural gas, and coal.
The Corruption of the World Health Organization
The WHO’s staff are comfortable with ensuring the people they were charged to support are increasingly impoverished and their rights and health autonomy removed. They are not just resigned to the abandonment of basic public health principles and ethics, but actively working to undermine them.
Europe’s Energy Transition: Fraught with Complications
Biden’s America Mimics Europe’s Goals and Regulatory Actions
The Failure and Motive of Biden’s Dribs-and-Drabs Tactics in Ukraine?
If winning is not the goal, the war is already lost, and Putin’s dictatorial power will be further enhanced. It will prove that the U. S. and NATO actually are weak and ineffectual.
What is U.S. President Biden’s Goal in Ukraine?
As Ayn Rand has said, “Morality is the strongest of all intellectual powers.” To Putin, his “moral” crusade is far more important than Russia’s GDP.
Ludwig von Mises’s Free Market Agenda for a Postwar Ukraine
Whether at least part of Ukraine survives as a free and independent country when this war ends, or whether that will have to wait until some time in the future, Ukrainians will have to plan for the reconstruction of their economy at some point in the future. The economic policy agenda for such a reconstruction is at least partly at hand, and can be found in the writings of the Austrian economist, Ludwig von Mises.

Putin’s Return to Stalinism as Russia Invades Ukraine
What Putin fears is not just NATO’s defensive armaments but their ideas—most fundamentally, America’s arms and ideas, specifically the concept of individual rights.
Why I Support The Canadian Freedom Protests
“A dictatorship has to be capricious; it has to rule by means of the unexpected, the incomprehensible, the wantonly irrational…” – Ayn Rand
Authoritarianism Shrinks Freedom in Canada
If we want to live our lives free, and not under expanding government authoritarianism that harms us, we must advocate freedom and condemn measures like the invoking of the Emergencies Act, and support, if we can, those that challenge them, such as the CCLA or the Canadian Constitution Foundation.
Trudeau’s Fascist Response to the Canadian Freedom Protests
Justin Trudeau’s rhetoric against his fellow citizens and iron-fisted response to the Canadian Freedom Convoy demonstrate a lack of moral principle and political leadership.

I’m a Canadian of Color, a Professor, and I Support the Canadian Freedom Convoy
The true racists are Trudeau and his ilk, including the provincial premiers and university leaders who enforce vaccine passports, lockdowns, and mandates. Indigenous Canadians and minorities are more likely to refuse COVID-19 vaccines.

Europe has extreme dependence on Russian natural gas because Europe has foolishly restricted fossil fuel and nuclear energy production on the false promise that unreliable solar and wind could replace it.
Why Canadians Embrace Lockdowns and Mandatory Vaccinations
