How East Germany's Stasi Perfected Mass Surveillance

The state has a monopoly on violence. However, abusive repression harms government credibility and alienates public support in the long run. A more subtle and effective way to exercise power is to surveil the population and to prevent open manifestations of discontent. This article analyzes the case of the of the German Democratic Republic’s (DDR) Ministry for State Security (MfS), also known as the Stasi. The thesis is that an effective surveillance regime makes the use of open violence less urgent because the population is nudged to discipline itself. Click for Full Text!

The Federal Reserve on Thursday launched its own instant payment service, FedNow, touted as a way of allowing Americans to do things such as receive their paychecks and cash checks much more quickly, in a matter of minutes, as opposed to waiting one or two business days. “It is a brand new, shall we call it a superinformation high-speed highway for payments, that the Fed has launched in an effort to modernize its payment systems opportunities for all of us,” Scott Latham, president and CEO of the Alabama Bankers Association, told WSFA 12 News.

The Problem With 'Civil Rights'

Not long ago I spoke to the fearless Heather Mac Donald, author of When Race Trumps Merit, about how the toxic doctrine of “disparate impact” has undermined standards of all kinds, all across society. Symphony orchestras, for example, are known for holding their auditions behind a screen, to make absolutely certain that individual musicians’ characteristics do not interfere with the dispassionate analysis of their musical abilities. But because this impartial process yields orchestras that are too white and Asian (and therefore has a “disparate impact” on blacks), there is buzz about taking the screens down for the precise purpose of allowing orchestras to ...

July 5, 2023, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Harvey Risch, Dr. Roger Hodkinson, an expert clinical pathologist, and several other colleagues published a systematic review of autopsy findings in people who died after receiving a COVID shot on The Lancet journal’s preprint server.1 Disturbingly, but not surprisingly, they concluded that 62.5% to 73.9% of post-jab deaths were likely caused by the injection. Previous autopsy reviews have also concluded that the mRNA COVID jabs are a causative factor in sudden cardiac deaths. Click for Full Text!

George Gammon, host of the popular Rebel Capitalist show, warns that the Fed won't have to force the public to adopt a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Instead, the public might clamor for it, being promised safe, high-interest checking accounts at the Fed, just like Jamie Dimon. Click for Full Text!

Last year, a Tennessee high school suspended a junior for three days as punishment for a series of playful Instagram posts lampooning the principal. According to a new lawsuit, that suspension was unconstitutional. Referred to in the lawsuit as I.P., the student, who attends Tullahoma High School in Tullahoma, Tennessee, made several Instagram posts while off campus. The posts were humorous depictions of Jason Quick, the school's principal. The photos, according to the student, were intended to lampoon Quick's reputation as a strict and humorless administrator. For example, In one post, a photo of Quick holding a box of produce has the text "my brotha" added to it. In ...

Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne will resign effective Aug. 31, according to communications released by the University Wednesday morning. He will also retract or issue lengthy corrections to five widely cited papers for which he was principal author after a Stanford-sponsored investigation found “manipulation of research data.” According to Jerry Yang, chair of the Stanford Board of Trustees, Tessier- Lavigne will step down “in light of the report and its impact on his ability to lead Stanford.” Former Dean of Humanities Richard Saller will serve as interim president. In a separate statement, Tessier-Lavigne defended his reputation but acknowledged that issues ...

The Committee is the UN and the UN has embarked on a global Dictatorship/Monarchy whereby they act as King and King. Only China has recently decided to give the thumbs down on the Climate Gamut. Kerry fell flat on his face attempting to extricate/extort money from China this past weekend. And Jinping seems to have abandoned the notion that the US is anything more than a pariah… So while the US is busily making more and more enemies – China has set out to become the face of the “good guy’. The West is now disliked by everyone – including themselves. Even Obama’s precious Africa is turning their back to the White House. Click for Full Text!
Higher Military Spending Will Save Democracy
Post Date: 2023-07-22 00:13:57 by Charles_Byrd

Three days ago, I got a story in my New York Times email feed on “A Turning Point in Military Spending.” The article celebrated the greater willingness of NATO members as well as countries like Japan to spend more on military weaponry, which, according to the “liberal” NYT, will help to preserve democracy. Interestingly, even as NATO members have started to spend more, the Pentagon is still demanding yet higher budgets, abetted by Congress. I thought if NATO spent more, the USA could finally spend less? No matter. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as the hyping of what used to be called the “Yellow Peril,” today read “China,” is ensuring ...
Mises and Nationalism

Nationalism is a potent force in the modern world, and it is not surprising that some libertarians have been attracted to it. Indeed, in some circles the slogan “Blood and Soil” has come into to use to denote a people’s attachment to the land. It should be noted that although this slogan was used by the Nazis, especially by Walter Darré, it did not originate with them but was common among German nationalists such as Oswald Spengler. It would be wrong, then, to think that libertarians who use it today are signaling a covert admiration for the Third Reich and its führer. That being said, the attitude it expresses was decidedly not that of Ludwig von Mises. Mises ...

Democrat Bob Casey, the senior U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, has supported an LGBT center in Philadelphia with a track record of promoting openly communist events and hosting child drag shows. Casey has even pushed to give the center federal funding. As Fox News reports, Casey this year urged additional funding for the Philadelphia-based William Way LGBT Community Center. Specifically, he asked for a $1 million earmark in the FY 2024 appropriations bill for the nonprofit that, per its website, seeks to “transform and rebuild our existing community center into a more expansive, inclusive, colorful, and unabashedly queer space for all LGBTQIA+ individuals to gather, celebrate, learn, ...

John Robins, head of England's West Yorkshire Police, said police departments should be able to practice "positive discrimination" in favor of black and Asian applicants in order to increase the number of nonwhite officers in their ranks. Robins insists this would not result in lower standards for officers. Such discrimination is illegal in England and Wales. Click for Full Text!

New DOD docs show "transgender" service members receive fitness exemptions, drug testing waivers, & paid vacations

Transgender identifying service members can remain in good standing with the U.S. military even if they’re morbidly obese drug addicts, and they won’t have to worry about getting deployed either. According to new documents, these service members also qualify for paid vacations every time they get a new "surgery” to affirm their gender identity. The Biden Administration has not just merely rescinded the Trump Administration’s transgender military ban, they’ve installed a new hierarchy in the Pentagon that places the rainbow flag agenda above all other priorities.

A Bit of Political Theater in Vilnius

It is a lucky break that the Screen Actors Guild has gone on strike as it will give Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky an opportunity to dust off his thespian credentials and look for a new job when the Russians eventually bring down his government. Hollywood and Las Vegas would undoubtedly compete for such a nice Jewish young man to revive his former comedy routine where he played a piano with his penis. To be sure, without disrobing, Zelensky was inevitably the star performer at the recently completed two day NATO Summit in Vilnius Lithuania on July 11th-12th which also featured as a speaker US President Joe Biden, who provided a certain type of context by declaring that “Russia ...

On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800 left JFK airport in New York City heading east to Paris. Twelve minutes after its 8:19 departure the doomed 747 blew up off the south coast of Long Island, killing all 230 souls aboard. On August 23, 1996, the New York Times reported on its front page, above the fold right, “Prime Evidence Found That Device Exploded in Cabin of Flight 800.” According to the Times, only the FBI’s uncertainty about whether the device was a bomb or a missile kept it from declaring TWA 800’s destruction a crime.

Now comes yet another little-noted report on the continuing excesses and inhumanity at Guantánamo Bay, the post-9/11 American military prison that only two decades ago set the standard for war crimes—a standard that is now being eclipsed by the war in Ukraine. The report’s author is Fionnuala D. Ní Aoláin, the United Nations special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism, a law professor at the University of Minnesota and the Queens University in Belfast, and an experienced human rights investigator. She based her report on a four-day visit to the island prison last February. She was given extraordinary access to ...

A California school district voted Thursday to require that school officials notify parents if their child wants to change their gender. The Chino Valley Unified School District (CVSUD) voted 4-1 to approve a policy that requires school employees to inform parents within three days if their child wants to identify as a gender that is different from their biological sex, or asks to be referred to as a different name than their legal name. Dozens of parents spoke in favor of and against the policy, with some saying that they wanted their children to be protected and others saying it would harm transgender children. Click for Full Text!
Blue-state doctors are using 'shield laws' to flood the country with abortion pills

A Europe-based organization that ships chemical abortion pills to the U.S. is allowing American medical professionals in certain blue states to mail the drugs directly to patients in localities where abortion is restricted, thanks to recent legal maneuvering from Democrats, according to The Washington Post. Aid Access, a major abortion pill vendor, relaxed its policies in June after several blue states enacted “shield laws” protecting medical providers from out-of-state legal penalties for offering telemedicine services that are legal in their own states, according to the Post. The Food and Drug Administration has been relaxing regulations on the abortion pill since 2020, and in ...
Does First Amendment Protect Opinions of Professors at State Universities?

Should professors at state universities be allowed to write about controversial subjects outside of class? Should those professors be allowed to publish articles in their private lives that might offend some people at the university where they teach? Believe it or not, these are the questions being considered by a federal court in the United States of America. There are people who believe that the answer to those questions is “no,” and they are prosecuting a professor for presenting the results of a scientific study in his lecture. Click for Full Text!
