How Medical Licensing Serves Big Pharma at the Expense of Public Health https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-medical-licensing-serves… By Jeremy R. Hammond > The purpose of medical licensing is not to protect consumers but the financial interests of privileged trade organizations allied with Big Pharma. *** > **Claiming Undeserved Credit** > Another myth constantly reinforced by the medical cartel is that its therapeutic measures were responsible for the dramatic decline in mortality observed during the twentieth century. Most specifically, we are supposed to believe that vaccines were the cause of dramatic reductions in infectious disease mortality, but it is a simple fact of the historical data that these reductions mostly occurred before there were even any vaccines to possibly help explain it. > Here, for example, is the data for diphtheria:  > Here’s pertussis:  > And here’s the dreaded measles:  > These dramatic reductions in disease mortality were instead due to factors related to an increasing standard of living, including sanitation, refrigeration, less crowding, better personal hygiene, and better nutrition. https://stacker.news/items/1455312

Epstein Network An 'Iranian Conspiracy,' Claims Washington Post https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/epstein-network… By James Bovard > Why do so many Americans distrust The Washington Post? “Pro-Iran propaganda network gains traction with posts about Epstein” offers a tankerload of clues. > Social media is overflowing with bogus claims and A.I. videos related to the Iran War. Prudent folks are already wary about any wild-eyed claims of total victory or glorious destruction they see online. But can political shysters exploit the war to vaccinate President Donald Trump against his biggest scandal? > Long before Trump partnered with Israel to attack Tehran, Democrats, libertarians, and even decent Americans warned that the president would bomb Iran again to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein pedophile scandal. But now that Trump vindicated such fears, anyone who still complains about the Epstein scandal is propelling Iranian propaganda. https://stacker.news/items/1454858

The Tea Party Stumbled So That MAGA Could Fall | The Libertarian Institute https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/the-tea-party-s… By Alan Mosley > Political movements often begin as revolts against entrenched power, only to be absorbed by the very institutions they sought to challenge. The pattern is familiar in American political history. Grassroots insurgencies ignite public enthusiasm, mobilize voters around neglected issues, and briefly threaten the ruling consensus. Yet over time they are either neutralized or transformed into instruments of the existing political order. > Two movements defined the political awakening of many Americans in the early twenty-first century: the Tea Party and the MAGA movement. Both promised a revolt against Washington. Both claimed to represent ordinary Americans against an unaccountable ruling class. Both attracted millions of supporters who believed they were witnessing the birth of something genuinely transformative. https://stacker.news/items/1454794

Israeli Defense Minister Threatens to Take Lebanese Territory https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/israeli-defense-min… by Kyle Anzalone > Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz threatened to seize Lebanese territory if Beirut does not prevent Hezbollah from attacking Israel. Israeli forces occupy  > “Hezbollah launched heavy barrages toward the State of Israel yesterday. The IDF responded forcefully in the Dahiyeh [the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold] and against Hezbollah targets across Lebanon,” Katz stated on Wednesday. “I warned the president of Lebanon that if the Lebanese government does not know how to control the territory and prevent Hezbollah from threatening the northern communities and firing at Israel, we will take the territory and do it ourselves.” > Cross-border attacks between Israel and Hezbollah started after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Israel conducted a massive bombing campaign and used terrorists to kill Hezbollah’s leaders. In November 2024, Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire with Israel. https://stacker.news/items/1454603

What is it that could be accomplished in Iran that you would consider the costs worth it? And, how many regime change attempts have to go badly before we can say they should stop attempting it? Also, why do they deserve the benefit of the doubt? I’d say the US track record is such that there’s a very high burden on them to convince us that an intervention is prudent. https://fountain.fm/episode/9Q6Rt0PH7d5N0GYEXWyn 📝 0677fd7e…
