When It Comes to Innovating, Ask for Forgiveness, Not Permission

Michael Munger

People sometimes ask me, “What is the most important concept in political economy?”

The answer is easy, but subtle: permissionless innovation, a strong presumption in favor of allowing experimentation with new technologies and with new business platforms that use those technologies. A lot has been written about why this vague concept is so powerful (my own go-to source is Adam Theirer’s Permissionless Innovation).

It’s at the core of what Friedrich Schiller, the German philosopher and poet, wrote about in a letter to a friend in 1793 where he describes the beauty of the “Englische Tanze” (English dance):….. Read More

God Is a Libertarian

 

Jesús Huerta de Soto

……..Nevertheless, today I will go a step further and attempt to demonstrate that God is not only the supreme, loving Creator of all things, but also a libertarian. This is the main contention of my remarks today. So, what does it mean to be a “libertarian”? Perhaps it is idle of us to pose this question in the context of this conference. A “libertarian” is someone who loves human freedom (which is one and indivisible). Libertarians defend free enterprise, the creative capacity of human beings, and the spontaneous market order. Above all, libertarians abhor the organized, systematic coercion of those monopolistic agencies of violence we know as “states.” In other writings, for instance in my article, “Classical Liberalism versus Anarchocapitalism,” I have examined the reasons the state is not only unnecessary, but also highly inefficient and, more importantly, immoral, and why we must dismantle it.

So, what does it mean to say that God is a libertarian? (This is the next step.) What meaning should we attribute to this phrase or expression? It means that God, the Lord of all the universe, who has created his laws from nothing, and who therefore has absolute power over the Earth and the rest of the universe, nevertheless does not use force, but always leaves his creatures free. He gives them the freedom even to rebel against him. There are the fallen angels, for instance. These are spiritual beings who rebelled against their Creator. God leaves human beings free even to rebel against him. In this sense, human beings are more fortunate than the fallen angels, because happily, humans have been redeemed. In other words, God forgives human beings again and again, and he allows them to get up and start over……  Read More

Medical Mistakes Affect 1 in 5 People

Story at-a-glance

  • Preventable medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for nearly 250,000 deaths each year, just after heart disease and cancer
  • A survey of over 2,500 people finds 21 percent have experienced a medical mistake and 33 percent care for someone who has suffered a medical error
  • Medical mistakes include getting the wrong medication, having the wrong procedure, waking up during surgery or acquiring an infection
  • You may reduce your risk of injury or death from a medical mistake by bringing an advocate with you when hospitalized, asking questions of the nurses and doctors, communicating any changes in your condition and maintaining good health to prevent hospitalization ….. Read More

Facespook! Social media giant becomes arm of US intel

Facebook, the world’s top social media platform, is reportedly seeking to hire hundreds of employees with US national security clearance licenses.

Purportedly with the aim of weeding out “fake news” and “foreign meddling” in elections.

If that plan, reported by Bloomberg, sounds sinister, that’s because it is. For what it means is that people who share the same worldview as US intelligence agencies, the agencies who formulate classified information, will have a direct bearing on what millions of consumers on Facebook are permitted to access.

It’s as close to outright US government censorship on the internet as one can dare to imagine, and this on a nominally independent global communication network. Your fun-loving place “where friends meet.”

Welcome to Facespook!

As Bloomberg reports: “Workers with such [national security] clearances can access information classified by the US government. Facebook plans to use these people – and their ability to receive government information about potential threats – in the company’s attempt to search more proactively for questionable social media campaigns ahead of elections.”

A Facebook spokesman declined to comment, but the report sounds credible, especially given the context of anti-Russia hysteria.

Over the past year, since the election of Donald Trump as US president, the political discourse has been dominated by “Russia-gate” – the notion that somehow Kremlin-controlled hackers and news media meddled in the election. The media angst in the US is comparable to the Red Scare paranoia of the 1950s during the Cold War.

Facebook and other US internet companies have been hauled in front of Congressional committees to declare what they know about alleged “Russian influence campaigns.” Chief executives of Facebook, Google, and Twitter, are due to be questioned again next month by the same panels…. Read More

Killing Off the Vegas Witnessess, JFK Assassination Style

TO ALL EYEWITNESSES TO THE VEGAS MASSACRE, BE ADVISED YOUR LIVES ARE IN EXTREME DANGER. YOU MAY WISH TO CONSIDER NOT SPEAKING TO ANYONE, AND I MEAN ANYONE, AND THENSCRUB ALL SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS. THE TRAIL OF LAS VEGAS EYEWITNESS BODIES ARE GROWING IN A MANNER THAT IS REMINISCENT OF THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION. THE COMMON SENSE SHOW GREATLY RESPECTS THE SACRIFICES AND COURAGE OF LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL. THESE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN ARE NORMALLY A CITIZEN’S BEST FRIEND. HOWEVER, IN THE CASE OF THE LAS VEGAS MASSACRE, YOU CAN TRUST NOBODY AND ALL ARE ADVISED TO NOT SPEAK AND WRITE PUBLICLY. AS AN INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN YOU HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO RISK YOUR LIFE. THE COMMON SENSE SHOW CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WE ALREADY HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE WE NEED TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH. 

Killing off the Witnesses Was the Norm In the JFK Assassination

Following the murder of John F. Kennedy, over 300 people, closely connected to the assassination in some way, died very unnatural deaths. Popular news columist and TV personality, Dorothy Kilgallen and the accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald were among the 300+ people who made up the most statistically rare “accidental deaths” in the history of a single criminal event. For the record, Kilgallen’s death was officially catalogued an alcohol-barbituate suicide. She was in the middle of writing a tell-all about the JFK assassination which included a trip to Dallas to interview Lee Harvey Oswald as she was, in her words, set to “blow the lid off of the Kennedy Assassination”.

In the very early days following the Vegas massacre, the missing and dead eyewitnesses are beginning to accumulate in a manner similar to the Kennedy assassination…… Read More

Report: The Corruption and Sadistic Culture Within Child Protective Services is a Threat to Every Family in America

I’ve been exposing this,  loved by “christians”,  Satanic organization for years….
What surprises the heck out of me is that it is not a regular thing for CPS workers to rightly IMHO, be shot down for the  kidnappings that they instigate without even the appearance of due process. i.e. You can get a jury trial for littering, but not if the state decides to kidnap your child. 

~MFP

The Huffington Post has released a report on Child Protective Services (CPS) by Child Advocate and contributor Patricia Mitchell, founder of Patricia’s Children, Inc. The report is filled with documented data that is important for all families to know, due to the threat that CPS poses to literally every family in America.

Some of the data in the report will come as no surprise to the families impacted by medical kidnapping. While children and parents are being destroyed behind closed agency and courtroom doors, the majority of the public remains blissfully ignorant of the reality, much like the citizens in Eastern Europe were unaware of the atrocities happening to their fellow citizens in the concentration camps under the Nazi regime.

This is information that needs to be shared with friends and neighbors, politicians, media, and policy makers, and it needs to provide a catalyst for change. We simply cannot maintain this trajectory and survive as a culture. The cost – our children – is simply too high.

According to the report…..

Watch these two videos for a recap of various inconsistencies that don’t add up.

Grandparents Fight State of Kansas Over Attempted Forced Vaccination of Grandson Residing in Their Home

KANSAS LEGISLATORS FOR WORM FOOD?
We have the second amendment to protect against criminal psychopaths like we seem to have in all of the state legislatures these days. If they continue their tyranny, I hope that they like being worm food, as that is what should become of them.

Are you square with that? Or should they get a raise for  their blasphemous/playing-god , rights trampling behavior, and  destroying children’s lives? This is NOT what the founders instituted government for!

~MFP

The war against parents who choose not to vaccinate their children, or to not follow the CDC vaccine schedule which requires more vaccines for children in the U.S. than any other developed nation of the world, rages on all across America.

Citizens of the United States are waking up and recognizing that with no legal accountability for pharmaceutical companies to produce safe vaccines in the U.S., unlike most other countries of the world where one can sue a vaccine manufacturer for damages resulting from their vaccine products, the proliferation of vaccines and their known side effects carries tremendous risk of injury and even death.

Parents and physicians in the U.S. are increasingly standing up for their rights to choose medical procedures for their children and resisting coercion by government agencies who seek to mandate vaccines even against the desires of parents and sometimes their physicians as well.

In Johnson County, Kansas, one 2-year old little boy has been taken away from his mother and placed in foster care with his grandparents. The young boy was born with a serious heart defect, and has never been vaccinated. The mother and the grandparents, for both health and religious reasons, have utilized Kansas’ legal vaccine exemption laws to prevent the young boy from being vaccinated.

But since the child has been removed from his mother and placed into the temporary custody of the state of Kansas, the state is now trying to force the child to be vaccinated against the wishes of both his mother and grandparents, even while he continues to live under the care of his grandparents….

Study: 40 percent of ALL cancer cases in the U.S. are linked to obesity

by:  Natural News

(Natural News) A new study further highlights the negative implications of America’s obesity epidemic and why more education and policy changes are necessary to combat it: Some 40 percent of all cancers in the U.S. or about 630,000 cases annually, are linked to being overweight.

The findings by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are particularly relevant, officials said, because nearly three-in-four adults, or 71 percent, are either overweight or obese.

The study’s results “are a cause for concern,” said CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald, in perhaps the biggest medical-related understatement of the year so far.

“A majority of American adults weigh more than recommended — and being overweight or obese puts people at higher risk for a number of cancers,” Fitzgerald said in a statement, as reported by Agence France Presse. “By getting to and keeping a healthy weight, we all can play a role in cancer prevention.”

Researchers say that people who carry around too much additional weight are at greater risk of developing 13 types of tumors that include cancers of the esophagus, thyroid, postmenopausal breast, stomach, gallbladder, liver, ovaries, pancreas, rectum, uterus and kidneys….. Read More
