No matter how bad you think Covid policies were, they were intended to be worse. Consider the vaccine passports alone. Six cities were locked down to include only the vaccinated in public indoor places. They were New York City, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans,...

The Neo-Liberal Consensus Is Coming Apart
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Oct 22, 2024 | Featured Articles
The global Covid response was the turning point in public trust, economic vitality, citizen health, free speech, literacy, religious and travel freedom, elite credibility, demographic longevity, and so much more. Now five years following the initial spread of the...
Cut the Truth Out of Our Heads
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Oct 15, 2024 | Featured Articles
The censors are losing patience. They have gone from regretting the existence of free speech and gaming the system as best they can to fantasizing about ending it through criminal penalties. You can observe this change in temperament – from frustration to fury...
The Post-Ideological Age
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Aug 14, 2024 | Featured Articles
Conventional wisdom has it that the US and much of the Western world has polarized into right and left. These tribes are hard-core and share mutual loathing. That model of understanding pervades all popular media and consumes the culture, such that everyone feels the...
During the Crisis, Free Speech Worked Brilliantly
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jul 22, 2024 | Featured Articles
There is only one major social media platform that is relatively free of censorship. That is X, once known as Twitter, and owned by Elon Musk, who has preached free speech for years and sacrificed billions in advertising dollars in order to protect it. If we don’t...
What Really Happened: Lockdown until Vaccination
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | May 24, 2024 | Featured Articles
Four years later, many people are investigating how our lives were completely upended by a pandemic response. Over my time on the case, I’ve heard countless theories. It was Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Finance, the Green New Deal, the CCP, Depopulation, Get Trump,...
The Proof of Censorship is…Censored
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | May 8, 2024 | Featured Articles
It’s not been a good week for the Censorship Industrial Complex. The machine has been built and put into action over nearly a decade but largely in secret. Its way of doing business has been via surreptitious contacts with media and tech companies, intelligence...
Now We Are Supposed to Cheer Government Surveillance?
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Apr 26, 2024 | Featured Articles
They are wearing us down with shocking headlines and opinions. They come daily these days, with increasingly implausible claims that leave your jaw on the floor. The rest of the text is perfunctory. The headline is the takeaway, and the part designed to demoralize,...
A Coup Without Firing a Shot
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Apr 24, 2024 | Featured Articles
The last few years can be tracked at two levels: the physical reality around us and the realm of the intellectual, mental, and psychological. The first level has presented a chaotic narrative of the previously unthinkable. A killer virus that turned out to be...
The Deep State Prepares for a Trump Victory
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Apr 10, 2024 | Featured Articles
We’ve all wondered if the fix is already in. Given the irregularities of the last election, and the manner in which the whole of the U.S. establishment rallied around one side, maybe a Biden victory in November is a foregone conclusion. I’m guilty of believing this....
How Did American Capitalism Mutate Into American Corporatism?
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Mar 15, 2024 | Featured Articles
In the 1990s and for years into our century, it was common to ridicule the government for being technologically backwards. We were all gaining access to fabulous things, including webs, apps, search tools, and social media. But governments at all levels were stuck in...
The End of the End of Ideology
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Mar 7, 2024 | Featured Articles
In 1960, Harvard sociologist Daniel Bell published a book called The End of Ideology. It argued that it was time to put aside all our ridiculous arguments of the past – socialism, fascism, liberalism, anarchism, technocracy, etc. – and just recognize that elites like...
A Nation of Non-Compliers
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jan 9, 2024 | Featured Articles
The train wasn’t scheduled for another 20 minutes, so I had a chance to contemplate the official sign on the door of the huge elevator leading to the platform. It said that only four people are allowed in because we must all practice social distancing. There was a...
The Triumph of the Apocalyptics
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Oct 17, 2023 | Featured Articles
In the course of almost four years, and really dating back a decade and a half, I’ve managed to read most of the writings of the intellectuals, titans of industry, and government officials who constructed the strange reality of 2020 and after. They wanted to conduct a...
A Pandemic of Lockdown Denialism
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Sep 29, 2023 | Featured Articles
There is an old expression: “Success has a thousand fathers but failure is always an orphan.” It’s a spin on Tacitus: “This is an unfair thing about war: victory is claimed by all, failure to one alone.” We can judge the results of the pandemic response, then, by the...
The Great Game of Let’s Pretend
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Aug 26, 2023 | Featured Articles
Two nights ago was supposed to be a night of reckoning and truth. The intrepid and independent journalist Tucker Carlson was to grill Donald Trump, who skipped the GOP debates because he is already the hands-down frontrunner and doesn’t want anything to do with...
The Questions Crying Out for Answers
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Aug 23, 2023 | Featured Articles
The conspiracy of silence is obvious. Both political parties like it. The media likes it too because it was a main participant. Academia is compromised as much as the social media companies. Government bureaucrats want the entire fiasco to be a thing of the past,...
The Fact-Check Racket Finally Unravels
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Jul 17, 2023 | Featured Articles
Before the COVID lockdowns, social media companies had started contracting with new third-parties organizations called fact-checkers to assist in “content creation.” Getting a pass meant the post or story was amplified but getting dinged for inaccuracy meant that the...
Sorry, This Is Not Going Away
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | May 25, 2023 | Featured Articles
The kids are two years behind in education. Inflation still rages. White-collar jobs are disappearing thanks to the reversal of Fed policy. Household finances are a wreck. The medical industry is in upheaval. Trust in government has never been lower. Major media too...
How They Convinced Trump to Lock Down
by Jeffrey A. Tucker | Mar 24, 2023 | Featured Articles
An enduring mystery for three years is how Donald Trump came to be the president who shut down American society for what turned out to be a manageable respiratory virus, setting off an unspeakable crisis with waves of destructive fallout that continue to this...
