In which long-time libertarian writer and friend Todd Seavey does his best to offend those on both left and right on two hot-button issues that might actually unite people if only they would think about them in the right way - and predicts that the real revolution will be driven by picnics. We also end up spending a lot of time grumbling about how old we've suddenly gotten.

I spoke with Todd last August, about immigration restrictions. You can see that episode here.

Todd's article "Secession and Open Borders: Why not both?" is here.

His book, "Libertarianism for Beginners" is here.

How broken are the systems that evaluate scientific research, and what can be done to fix them? I talk with Dr. James Lyons Weiler about these questions, and about his own contributions to independent research - including his analysis of VAERS data for deaths and anaphylaxis following vaccination for Covid-19, and his participation in the international Nucleaic Acid Amplification Testing Evaluation Consortium (NAATEC), which will evaluate the efficacy of PCR testing for Covid-19.

Dr. Weiler's website is here.

His Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge is here, and you can read about the NAATEC project here.

You can support Dr. Weiler's work here, or here.

I speak with Professor Knut Wittkowski, former head of the Rockefeller University's Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design, about what normally happens with viruses when societies are not locked down, and how locking down may have made things much worse, and especially for those most vulnerable.

We also talk about the nutritional supplement he has developed, and how it might help protect against Covid-19 and other respiratory infections, as well as a host of other problems.

Most of Professor Wittkowski's interviews have been removed from YouTube, but you can still find them on Bitchute.

The website for his company, ASDERA, is here.

And Gene Epstein wrote recently about "ASD-Cov", the food supplement Wittkowski has developed, here.

When eternal optimist Gene Epstein is worried, you know things are bad. So... is he worried? I speak with the former Barrons economics and books editor, now host of the Soho Forum, about where he thinks we are now, and what is to come.

Gene lays out his view for the next few years, backs it up with good data-driven reasons, and talks a little about his own investment strategy. He also explains why I was wrong about hyperinflation in 2008.

Gene's article, "The Great Suppression" can be found here.

And my article, "An Open Letter to my Pro-Obama Friends" is here, and my follow-up three years later, is here.

The Soho Forum is here.

The next debate happens this Wednesday, March 17, and the topic is whether presidents should be given fast-track authority to propose bills for all types of legislation, that Congress must approve or deny by majority vote and without change. You can register at the Soho Forum site.

You can also find Gene on Twitter.

I speak with retired chemist Roger Koops, about his experience working in vaccine development. We talk about some misunderstandings about how vaccines work, and some of his concerns about the Covid-19 vaccines.

Roger Koops is a contributing author for AIER, and is also a retired scientist, with a PhD in chemistry and over 25 years in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. He has authored or co-authored several papers on pharmaceutical technology and chemistry.

Our previous conversation, about masks and viruses, is here.

His article, "A Primer for the Media on Viruses, Vaccines, and Covid-19" is here.

I speak with independent journalist Jeremy R. Hammond about some of the things he thinks some of those who are critical of the official Covid-19 narratives are getting wrong.

We also talk about censorship, and about how to be good news consumers in these crazy times.

You can see Jeremy's work, and sign up for his newsletter (which I highly recommend), here.

I speak with Meryl Nass, MD, about some of the blatant manipulation that characterizes official reporting on Covid-19 cases and deaths. We also talk about where the SARS-Cov2 virus may have come from, and the (possibly criminal) extent to which some have gone to suppress information about and access to potentially life-saving treatments.

Dr. Nass has been doing some of the best reporting on Covid-19 controversies. You can see her work here.

The article we discussed, "Shameless manipulation: Positive PCR tests drop after WHO instructs vendors to lower cycle threshholds. We have been played like a fiddle" is here.

Another article of hers that we mentioned, "How a false hydroxychloroquine narrative was created, and more", is here.

(And as a special treat, if you listen carefully, you'll be able to hear my chickens in the background.)

The last time Kevin McKernan was on the show, he told us about the (devastating) review of the Corman-Drosten PCR methodology that he co-authored. In this episode, he talks about some of the fallout from the review, including a scathing, but imprecise, attack from PCR expert Dr. Stephen Bustin - why that attack is puzzling, and what it tells us about the state of peer review.

My previous episode with Kevin, talking about the Corman-Drosten Review, is here.

The Corman-Drosten Review Report (with comments) is here, and the addendum is here.

"Detection of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) by real-time RT-PCR", by Corman, Drosten, et al, is here.

The interview with Stephen Bustin, on Planetwaves, is here.

Information on the Michelle Cedillo case can be found here, and the court transcript is here.

I spoke with Kevin last April about problems with the peer review process, and "revolutionizing peer review with blockchain", here.

...and about some of the problems with PCR testing, here.

You can find Kevin on Twitter.

"We deserve to live peaceably as neighbors," says Jeff Deist, "even if that means breaking up and creating new political entities." The divisions in our society are undeniable. Is it possible that making them official is the best way forward?

Jeff's article "What Will It Take for Americans to Consider Breaking Up?" is here.

(The audio version of the article is here.)

You can read some of the best writing on liberty and economics at the Mises Institute, here.

According to the Oregon Medical Board, pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas is "...a serious danger to the public health..." Oddly, they only discovered this after he published a peer-reviewed study comparing health outcomes of patients who had been vaccinated to those who had not. You can see some of the results of that study here.

The study itself is here.

The order from the Oregon Medical Board, suspending Dr. Thomas' license, is here.

Dr. Thomas' book,  "The Vaccine-Friendly Plan" can be found here.

And you can support his defense fund here, at his Freedom to Choose site.

There are other ways you can help too. From his site:

MORE WAYS YOU CAN HELP

1. Support the legal effort - donation (PayPal, Credit Card or check)
2. Contact Providence Health Plan by Email, send letters, make phone calls (list provided at the end of this press release), and request they cancel the termination of Integrative Pediatrics in Portland, Oregon, as this removes the only option for parents seeking their legal right to informed consent when it comes to vaccines. 
3. Send a copy of all your correspondence to:
   Troy S. Bundy and Hart Wagner
   1000 SW Broadway Portland, OR 97205 ([email protected])
4. Contact the Catholic church leadership demanding they stop the discrimination and abandonment of the vulnerable children being cared for at Integrative Pediatrics. The latter have nowhere else to go where they can get informed consent.
5. Contact Kathleen Harder MD Chair of Oregon Medical Board
6. Contact Governor Kate Brown to reinstate Dr Paul Thomas’ license and take their complaints through the proper channels.

And I would also add that parents (and anyone else) seeking to have more decision-making power over their medical care choices consider alternatives to insurance. I spoke last week with Charlie Frohman on that very topic, (episode here) and you can get information on the medical cost-sharing plans Charlie discussed, here.
