Ludwig von Mises’s personal papers were seized by the Nazis, then captured by the Soviets, and disappeared for decades. They were rediscovered in a Moscow archive in 1992. One of the most important economists of the 20th century was almost erased from history—by history itself.

Anatomy of the State Every sentence reads like a direct assault on everything you've been taught to believe about government. The State isn't your friend, your representative, or your protector. It's an organized gang of thieves who discovered that systematic plunder beats random robbery every time. Where private criminals operate sporadically and face resistance, the State creates a "legal, orderly, systematic channel for predation" that transforms temporary bandits into permanent nobility. The classic example: a conquering tribe realizes it's more profitable to let the conquered live and produce wealth than to simply loot and murder them once. But here's the genius of the racket—the State can't survive on force alone. It needs the masses to accept their own exploitation, which is where intellectuals enter the picture. Professors, economists, and court historians get cushy positions in exchange for crafting elaborate justifications for why theft becomes "taxation" and why coercion becomes "the social contract." British pedophile John Maynard Keynes didn't revolutionize economics—he just dressed up robbery in mathematical equations that made spending other people's money seem sophisticated. The State's greatest fear isn't foreign invasion—it's independent intellectual criticism. Every limiting mechanism ever devised, from constitutions to judicial review, gets transformed into a rubber stamp for expanded power. The Supreme Court doesn't check government overreach; it legitimizes it by declaring unconstitutional actions "constitutional." Franz Oppenheimer nailed it: there are only two ways to acquire wealth—production or plunder, the economic means or the political means. The State is the organization of the political means, and it will always be at war with genuine capitalism because parasites cannot coexist peacefully with their hosts.

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering. You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored. Homer does something far stranger. Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them. They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs. So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits. Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right. Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him. Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads. In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is. What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it. It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

Another day, another spectacularly horrific Black-on-White murder that no one hears about, that would be the number one story in the world if it were White-on-anyone-else. On February 13, Black 21-year-old Alexander Lamar Banks was driving around, admittedly looking for people to kill, when he spotted a White mom and dad, out for an evening walk, pulling their 3-year-old daughter in a pink wagon in Delta Township, Michigan (77% White, 11% Black). That's when Banks targeted them, accelerating his car in their direction, driving off the road, and smashing through the White family. Banks then exited the vehicle, retrieved a shotgun, and fired multiple rounds, hitting all three family members and killing 3-year-old Harlow Smith. He reloaded the weapon before approaching Harlow's dad and shooting him again at close range. Banks punched the White father in the face and beat him with the shotgun. He then grabbed the White mother by the hair, twisting her head and trying to break her neck when she attempted to intervene. A 72-year-old White woman named Barb Cook saw what was happening and ran toward the murder scene to try to help the family. With his gun empty, Banks smashed 72-year-old Barb repeatedly in the head with it. He hit her with such force that her hair and flesh were later recovered from the muzzle. After beating Barb, Banks dropped the gun and fled. 37-year-old dad Cameron Smith, 33-year-old mom Paige Smith, and 72-year-old Barb Cook all survived the encounter that claimed young Harlow's life. Barb Cook required brain surgery and facial reconstruction, and went into a coma (as of the most recent update, she remains in that coma). Now, we wait to see how easy the system goes on Alexander Lamar Banks when it's inevitably determined that he was “not in the right state of mind” and has the IQ of speed bump. To recap, a Black psychopath quite literally hunted a White family, in public, in the light of day, running them down with his vehicle before shooting them repeatedly and savagely beating them in someone's front yard, killing a 3-year-old, then bludgeoning an unrelated 72-year-old grandma into a coma, and virtually no one knows, or will ever know, that any of this happened. But everyone on Earth knows that a White girl said a magic word on a Minnesota playground last year.

@EvelinaHahne @ClareCraigPath It is as easy as it sounds: the state is the devil.

A Syrian immigrant and his brother brutally raped Swedish woman Petra. Petra is no longer with us. She ended her own life. Before she died, Petra received only $330 in damages from the perpetrator because he had no more money. Meanwhile, he was awarded over $92,000 by the Swedish state for spending "too long" in jail. This amount is three times what Petra was supposed to receive from him for brutally raping her ($30,000), and the Swedish Enforcement Agency is not allowed to seize this money to pay Petra. After his release, he continued committing crimes and has still not been deported, despite being sentenced to deportation. The Swedish court system spares the wolf and sacrifices the sheep.

The dictatorial EU Commissars have now decided to ignore the treaties they would be expected to be bound by, and establish their own secret service, which can only modelled on the CIA (which created the EU in the first place). This confirms the recent more drastic directional shift by the EU to re-establish a Soviet Union-like restrictive dictatorship that limits also human rights across the board. Legal legitimacy is considered irrelevant. It's a power grab that Europe won't recover from. Having got away with imposing fascist style orders to try to turn mere verbal critics into outlaws that must starve - without due legal process - Ursula and friends realised it's their chance to run their own Stasi/Gestapo/NKVD, which can then terrorise anyone pointing out corruption or otherwise expressing opinions they don't like.

@scientificecon Corruption or incompetence?

The official goal of the EU is to complete the collapse of the economy and wipe out any trace of the postwar prosperity by 2040.

I thought you may present this as your “evidence”. Did you know a reanalysis was conducted? It turns out Alex, things aren’t as simple as you like to make them. Do you know what they discovered? The study’s most-quoted finding that no cervical cancers occurred in women vaccinated at ages 12–13, turns out to be nearly guaranteed by design, not by vaccine efficacy. They found that the prior probability of finding “no cancer” in this age cohort was approximately 0.5 regardless of vaccine efficacy, because Scotland’s revised screening program meant women in this cohort were under 25 at the time of data cutoff and were therefore statistically unlikely to have been diagnosed with cervical cancer even without vaccination. Cervical cancer typically takes 10–20 years to develop (as you undoubtedly know) from HPV infection, and the follow-up period for this group was far too short to meaningfully test cancer prevention. Furthermore, Saidi and Jones identified that the study authors failed to report one actual cancer case (a sarcoma, patient ID 361758) in the 12–13 vaccinated cohort, making the “zero cases” claim factually incorrect. They also flagged a fundamental data integrity problem: the number of participants analyzed far exceeded the actual same-age population of Scotland according to the National Registry. The study’s own data tables confirm this inflation, for example, the 1988 birth cohort shows 59,499 “eligible” in the Scottish Cervical Cancer Call Recall System (SCCRS) against only 37,934 in the National Registry, a 57% overcount . The authors acknowledged this anomaly in their internal scripts but offered no clear explanation, and the discrepancy was never resolved. A MedCheck analysis directly examined the Scottish data and found the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of cervical cancer between completely vaccinated vs. incompletely vaccinated women was 0.36 (95% CI: 0.15–0.85), a gap far too large to be explained by vaccination alone and strongly suggestive of baseline health differences between groups. A search of 592 HPV vaccine effectiveness cohort studies found zero studies that adjusted for the healthy vaccinee effect, making this a field-wide blind spot, not just a problem with this paper. Also, the comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated women is deeply flawed because the groups are not comparable. Saidi and Jones found that older women and unscreened women were significantly over-represented in the unvaccinated population, which dramatically biases the cancer incidence figures upward in the unvaccinated group. This is an observational, retrospective registry study, there is no randomized control group, no placebo, and no blinding. The entire evidence chain rests on comparing administrative records from groups whose differences in health behavior, socioeconomic status, screening history, sexual history, and smoking status are either unmeasured or inadequately controlled. The Cochrane HPV vaccine review itself found no RCT evidence that HPV vaccination reduces invasive cervical cancer incidence. NO RCT EVIDENCE. Finally, The study was conducted by researchers at Public Health Scotland and funded through NHS Scotland infrastructure, institutions that are themselves responsible for administering, promoting, and defending the HPV vaccination program . The lead author Tim Palmer has previously published multiple papers promoting HPV vaccination effectiveness in Scotland, representing a clear line of ideological and institutional investment. The study discloses no external funding conflicts, but institutional conflicts, where the authors’ professional mission is the same program they are evaluating are rarely disclosed or examined. I know you want it to be simple but that not how these things work and the “evidence” is fundamentally flawed in many ways. The headline alone is absurd on its face and should be viewed with extreme skepticism. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">academic.oup.com/jnci/article/1… medcheckjp.org/wp-content/upl…

@profstonge ”Democracy, the God that failed”

Migrant voters are blocking mass deportation in Europe. Exactly as intended.

@Jikkyleaks @ANI Did he forget cervical cancer screening?

@ANI Actually this is a fraud. The HPV vaccine prevents cervical abnormalities of the HPV strains in the vaccine, when measured by the manufacturer. It has never been shown to prevent all-type CIN3 or cervical cancer. If you have a study that shows this, please post it.

#WATCH | Delhi | On HPV vaccination importance for 14-year-old girls, ICMR Director General Dr. Rajiv Bahl says, “We are talking about the HPV virus, which is the only intervention we have which can actually prevent cervical cancer in women. Cervical cancer kills at least 70,000 – 80,000 women every year in our country… HPV infection is caused due to sexual contact and is very common… When the infection remains for a long time, it can develop into cancer… the vaccine prevents HPV infection in girls, protecting them from cervical cancer…”

@MarioNawfal In a decentralised world you would not need any journalist.

🇭🇺🇺🇸 During the Viktor Orbán, Marco Rubio press conference, a Bloomberg reporter made several middle-finger gestures as Orbán spoke. They call themselves independent, impartial, and real journalism. This is mainstream media on full display.

Marxism never works

@drterrysimpson False again. GPs have always treated superimposed bacterial pneumonia at home. However, during the “pandemic,” GPs were forbidden from visiting patients at home.

When your handle is “jikkyleaks” and your hobby is insinuation, credibility is not your strongest asset. COVID pneumonia was viral. Antibiotics treat bacteria. They were used when secondary bacterial infection was suspected — as they always are in ICU medicine. The fantasy that physicians worldwide were “paid” to withhold antibiotics collapses under basic pharmacology and basic economics. Broad antibiotics are cheap. ICU days are not. If there were a conspiracy, it would be the least profitable one in history. But conspiracy is easier than pathophysiology. It is simpler to imagine malice than to accept that a novel virus caused severe viral ARDS and many patients died despite aggressive care. Bad information spreads quickly. So do viruses. Only one of those responds to evidence.

@drterrysimpson False. Systematically using PCR for SARS-CoV-2 inflated the cases, thus ‘justifying’ deadly lockdowns

“It was the only cold measured by PCR.” No. PCR has been used for decades to diagnose: Influenza RSV Adenovirus SARS (2003) MERS HIV Hepatitis C PCR is simply a molecular test that detects viral genetic material. It doesn’t make a virus more deadly. It makes it detectable. COVID wasn’t unique because we used PCR. It was unique because ICUs filled, excess deaths surged, and hospitals reopened closed wards. The thermometer didn’t cause the fever. And the test didn’t cause the pandemic.

Capitalism assumes people are self-interested. Socialism assumes planners aren't. One of these is realistic.

We’ve gotten to the point where not only is taxation theft, but paying taxes is highly immoral.

“The great tragedy of the drive to centralization, as of the drive to extend the scope of government in general, is that it is mostly led by men of goodwill who will be the first to rule its consequences.” — Milton Friedman

@Niall_Boylan @FatEmperor These people are obviously corrupted.. The question is where does the LGTB+(pedophiles) lobby got all that money from.

This is the crazy messed up world we live in. The EU Parliament today voted to officially recognise men who identify as women as actual women, making it a top EU priority at the UN. This is setting back women’s rights by decades. It’s mind blowing that most of the people supporting this madness are women and the men who they should just agree for the sake of political correctness. These are the MEPs you voted for and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

@MarioNawfal That’ s why he was on the Epstein file. To protect the children.

MACRON: IT’S TIME TO REGULATE AI TO PROTECT CHILDREN Funny how politicians always use ‘protect the kids’ as an excuse to censor and control anything that could expose their lies. x.com/clashreport/st…
